Outside the imperial study, the people led by King Xiang were fighting fiercely against the fake Qinglong Guards. The door of the imperial study was closed tightly, and there was no one else in the palace except Qi Baixing and the emperor.
King Xiang shouted inside, "Father, don't worry, I will stay here and wait for my eldest brother to lead his troops."
King Xiang's words finally made the emperor feel that something was wrong.
He only had 500 soldiers, and the prince came in with the Qinglong Guards. The imperial army failed to resist and asked the rebels to directly resist the study. But he could lead the soldiers to confront him outside?
A terrible thought suddenly flashed through his mind. The person who rebelled was not the prince, but the King of Jin.
The person least likely to rebel, at least he always thought so. He was the Minister of War, but the Minister of War could not mobilize the army without permission, so he just took the Tiger Talisman.
With the prince's ability and prestige in the army, even if he does not have the tiger talisman, he can mobilize some generals, and these generals can mobilize some of the troops.
At this moment, he finally woke up and kept recalling that he had used King Jin to suppress the prince in the past year, but it had only fostered King Jin's ambition.
After vetoing the military spending bill, he became disloyal and went to Bei'an Mountain to guard the mausoleum before the prince was driven out of the capital. This was a good opportunity for him to take action.
The prince is not in the capital, and most of the people in the East Palace have been arrested. Even if he learns of the rebellion in the capital, he will have to rescue these people after he comes back to mobilize troops to serve the king.
Thinking of this, he trembled all over.
Turning around suddenly, he saw Qi Baixing holding the hairpin in her hand and trembling.
"What do you want to do?" The emperor was furious and pointed the sword in his hand at Qi Baixing.
Qi Baixing's lips kept trembling, "I...I want to protect the emperor, I will protect you."
She held the hairpin, but naturally did not do anything. She also understood at this moment that King Jin would definitely let her kill the emperor, because she was once the Liangdi of the East Palace. If she killed the emperor, she could be known to the outside world as Nangong Yitian. the meaning of.
It was Nangong Yitian who placed her beside the emperor.
Therefore, even after he succeeds, he will definitely kill her, kill her people, and silence her.
She is a chess piece through and through, a chess piece that will be discarded after use.
Her hairpin will not kill the emperor, she wants to protect herself, she wants to escape.
When the emperor heard her saying that he wanted to protect himself, he was startled and looked at her for the first time.
Her eyes were filled with fear, but she still stood up straight and seemed to have mustered up her courage.
The emperor lowered his sword slowly and said: "You stand behind me, I don't need a woman to protect you."
When faced with the betrayal of his parents and children, the emperor actually believed her when he saw this move and felt that she really wanted to protect him.
However, this did not move him, she was just a despicable woman.
He just didn't bother letting her protect him.
King Jin finally led his men in and reached the outside of the Imperial Study Room. The road was clear.
He stood outside the royal study and finally gave an order to Qi Baixing inside.
When Qi Baixing heard King Jin's voice, her whole body trembled in panic. At this moment, she would die whether she took action or not.
The emperor slowly turned around to look at her, his eyes full of suspicion. Qi Baixing backed away in panic, but then she quickly stepped forward and stopped in front of the emperor, making an effort to fight against the outside world.
"Your Majesty, I will protect you with my life!" She spoke with trembling lips, but she was not trying to protect him. If someone from outside rushed in, she would just turn around and put the hairpin into the emperor's chest.
And if reinforcements arrive, then she will be the hero protecting the emperor.
This is her most advantageous position, as she can advance, attack, retreat or defend.
The imperial army team that had been resisting also rushed to the Imperial Study Room to protect him, but there were not many of them anymore. King Jin thought Qi Baixing had succeeded, and said angrily, "Break open the palace door to protect him!"
When the emperor heard this, his body softened and he almost fell to the ground.
