The imperial guards went out to investigate and came back to report: "Your Majesty, there is no movement outside. Everything is peaceful in the palace."
The emperor was very suspicious, "Didn't you hear anything?"
The imperial guard stood in the dim corridor, lowered his head and cupped his hands, "I didn't hear what I said to the emperor."
The emperor looked at Xiao Guangzi, who also had a blank look on his face, and then looked at Qi Baixing behind him. Qi Baixing came forward with tea and said with a smile: "The emperor must be too tired, I didn't hear anything. "
The tea was delivered to the emperor. Her smile was so warm and reassuring that the emperor slowly took it and drank it.
This tea contains Anshen Powder, which is non-toxic, but can make people fall asleep.
Recently, the emperor has been taking these teas so that he can sleep well after working hard at night.
He lay back down again, unable to raise his eyelids. The sounds of fighting were still echoing in his ears, but at this moment it was like hearing them in a dream, full of unreality.
Only then did he feel that maybe he was hallucinating.
However, what is supposed to come will always come. Lingxiu and the fake Qinglong Guard did not encounter much resistance at all. The imperial army bribed by King Jin swept through the area without hurting a few people, and they all avoided it.
It seemed that he had already been prepared.
In less than half an hour, the rebels had already arrived outside the Imperial Study Room and sent out a signal.
King Jin was shocked when he received the signal. The speed was too fast.
Is there no resistance in the palace? There are over a thousand Imperial Guards in the palace, and he has instigated more than half of them to rebel. However, there are still hundreds of Imperial Guards to resist, and there are also imperial guards. He cannot instigate rebellion against the Imperial Guards, but what about these people? Why is there no resistance?
He hesitated, feeling vaguely that he had been tricked.
However, at this moment, a message was received saying that General Mu Zhi and Wuji led the Qinglong Guards directly to the palace to quell the chaos, and they also brought with them more than a thousand soldiers from Prince Yi's Palace.
Once they enter the palace of King Qin, it will not be easy for him to kill them again.
So even though he felt that he had been tricked, there was no way out. He gritted his teeth and sent orders to enter the palace in large numbers. He also sent people to the gates of various mansions to shout that the prince had rebelled and that the King of Jin had entered the palace to escort him.
Among the officials, there were those who were loyal to the emperor, and these people would risk their lives and bring government soldiers into the palace to escort him. He just wanted everyone to see him kill the rebels.
Outside the royal study, the sound of shouting shook the sky, waking up the sleeping emperor.
Xiao Guangzi knocked open the door and shouted in panic, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the prince has rebelled, the prince has rebelled."
The emperor's eyes darkened, "What?"
He actually turned against him? Did he rebel?
"Bold, you treacherous minister and traitor!" The emperor jumped up from the bed, pushed Qi Baixing, suddenly pulled out the sword from the wall, and roared: "Preach my decree, let the imperial army resist the rebels with all their strength, and then send someone out of the palace to convey the message Order the King of Jin to enter the palace to rescue him."
"Yes!" Xiao Guangzi knelt down, but raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the military camp is currently closed for drills. You have decreed that you are not allowed to leave the camp. If you want to mobilize troops, you need your Imperial Order Tiger Talisman."
In his rage, the emperor lost all reason and actually took out the Tiger Talisman and handed it to Xiao Guangzi.
Qi Baixing's heart shrank when she saw this happening nearby. It seemed that King Jin was really going to succeed.
Xiao Guangzi ran straight out with the tiger talisman. Naturally, he would not give this opportunity to others to make a contribution. He wanted to go out and deliver the tiger talisman in person.
But not long after he ran away from the imperial study, he saw Eunuch Qing walking towards him.
He was startled and stopped subconsciously, "Master? Aren't you asleep?"
Eunuch Qing stared at him, suddenly stretched out his hand to strangle his neck, grabbed him, snatched the tiger talisman, and kicked him away, "Asleep? Of course you want me to sleep, so that you can follow King Jin to rebel. .”
Xiao Guangzi yelled, "Come here, come here, someone has snatched the tiger charm."
Lingxiu flew over from the front of the palace, and Eunuch Qing tossed the tiger talisman to Lingxiu.
Xiao Guangzi looked at this scene in surprise, but then he understood something. When he wanted to shout, he was pierced through the heart by Lingxiu's sword.
Xiao Guangzi fell in a pool of blood and stared at Lingxiu, "You... you betrayed the prince."
With an expressionless expression, Lingxiu drew his sword again and swiped it from his neck. Blood spattered out and Xiao Guangzi was killed on the spot.
