If someone can take a bird's-eye view from the sky above the imperial city at this time, they can find that the current imperial city has gradually become orderly from the chaos at the beginning.
No matter how strong the forbidden army was, he didn't expect that the prince would sneak into the palace with the enemy.
After killing two hundred cavalry commanders and taking away the North Palace Gate, Wu Sheng reacted quickly and ordered several teams of forbidden troops to rush to the imperial study to rescue the driver, and the others went to recapture the North Palace Gate and the Xuanzheng Palace.
The current situation is like a sandwich pie.
Of the eight gates of the imperial city, one fell into the hands of Jiang Chen, guarded by the most powerful elite.
If you don't think about winning, you should lose first.
This is Jiang Chen's last retreat, and there is no room for error.
On each gate, there are two special crossbows.
All the original defensive arrangements have become sharp weapons under Jiang Chen's hands now.
No matter how powerful the forbidden army is, it can't be attacked for a moment.
This is the case with the outermost layer of the pie.
In the middle, there is a clear armor of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, which surrounds the imperial study and the Xuanzheng Palace.
And these two important places were surrounded by Jiang Chen's men, using the personal safety of the people inside to threaten the Beiya Forbidden Army not to enter the palace easily.
After all, no one knows what's going on inside.
Shadow Rain hides among the palace maids, and uses the unique communication methods of the shadow guards to send out a message of peace and quietness.
There are shadow guards in the Xuanzheng Palace, but there are too many officials inside, and once the chaos starts, she can't guarantee the safety of everyone.
You must know that the officials above the fourth rank of the entire Gaomang Dynasty are in the palace.
They are the courtiers that the emperor relies on the most, the core of the most dynasty, if they are served in a pot, the world will immediately be in chaos.
Shadow Rain glanced up in the direction of the imperial study, she knew that it was Shadow Thunder who was on duty in front of His Majesty today, and she couldn't help but be a little happy and a little worried.
She believed in Shadow Lei's ability, but since the Imperial Study was where Emperor Qinglong was located, the enemy naturally invested the most troops.
Hope it's safe.
Shadow Rain, who never believed in God, prayed secretly in his heart.
In the sky above the imperial city, dark clouds fell heavily in the sky like lead, and also pressed on everyone's hearts.
It has become a stalemate inside and out, and it takes external forces to intervene to upset this balance.
Empress Cao in Changle Palace, after getting the news of the riot, rushed to Yanqing Palace with people as soon as possible. and instructed the eunuchs to spread the word and let all the concubines in the palace gather in Yanqing Palace for refuge.
She is the queen mother in charge of the middle palace, and she has the obligation and responsibility to be responsible for the safety of the masters in the harem.
One of the most important is the Empress Dowager Xiao of Yanqing Palace.
In the chaos, she picked up her long-lost bow and arrow, gathered the guards guarding Changle Palace, and rushed to the front of Empress Dowager Xiao.
Empress Dowager Xiao was surprised when she saw her appear in front of her: "It's so messy, why are you here?"
"At this time, it is the best choice to close the palace door and guard it tightly.
"Queen Mother, how can your daughter-in-law let you go?"
Empress Cao smiled brightly and said justifiably: "There is chaos in the palace, and for a while, the thieves can't take care of us."
At this time, it is safest for me to come. ” She was right, no matter who it was, the only reason to storm this palace would only be for the dragon chair.
Until the ownership of the dragon chair is determined, no one will be distracted to deal with them, the harem women and children.
Each palace is guarded by guards, and it is the best choice to gather these guards.
Looking at her, Empress Dowager Xiao sighed with emotion: "It's not in vain that I hurt you in vain." ” Although Empress Cao said so, when she left Changle Palace, it was naturally much riskier than staying in Changle Palace.
In the harem, the most guarded are Changle Palace and Yanqing Palace.
"Queen Mother, don't worry, Your Majesty will solve it."
Empress Cao stepped forward to help Empress Dowager Xiao sit down, and said, "The daughter-in-law has already sent a message to the concubines of the palace to let them come here."
We just need to wait here with peace of mind and not cause trouble to the emperor. ” Empress Dowager Xiao asked, "Do you know who the thief is?"
” Empress Cao shook her head and said: "According to the report, it was a group of gangsters who invaded the palace, and I don't know who the master behind the scenes is. ” Jiang Chen's identity was only guessed by Emperor Qinglong, who was in the imperial study, and the rest of the people didn't know.
Even those Jianghu people who were driven by Jiang Chen to work hard didn't know his identity.
The two glanced at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
This palace change came inexplicably, and even the enemy was unknown.
Ignorance is the most frightening thing.

"Queen Mother, you can rest assured.
If there is any discord, I will die as a martyr.
Empress Cao's eyes were firm.
Although she didn't know where the enemy came from, she was sure that it was not the King of Qi.
She understands her son, if King Qi wants to plan this palace change, he will not wait until today, let alone get around her.
Therefore, no matter who it is, assuming that it is not Emperor Qinglong who wins in the end, there will be no good ending waiting for her.
And she has her own pride, as the queen of Emperor Qinglong, martyrdom is her last means of maintaining her pride.
Empress Dowager Xiao patted her hand and did not speak.
What Empress Cao can think of, she also understands.
At such times, no amount of comforting words can only appear empty and weak.
If she really got to that point, she wouldn't stop Empress Cao.
At this point, there is no use in panicking.
Empress Dowager Xiao ordered someone to serve tea and pastries, and the most noble pair of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in Quan Gaomang simply tasted tea.
The master is so calm, which undoubtedly reassures the palace maids and eunuchs.
The panic passed quickly, and the aunts and grandmothers in charge of the affairs did their own things and gradually settled down.
Empress Cao has done her best, but in this harem, not everyone has the courage she has.
The palace has changed people's hearts, and the concubines in each palace have also given birth to different plans.
The first one to rush to Yanqing Palace was Concubine Fu Xian, who took the little prince.
Immediately after, several more concubines arrived with people.
The remaining concubines, some of whom were too far apart, were afraid of encountering bandits on the road, so they closed the palace gate and guarded it.
Some people think that Empress Cao has bad intentions and wants them to be cannon fodder, but refuses to go out.
A little eunuch who was ordered to deliver a message came to a palace uneasily when he heard the shouts of killing in the distance.
It's very deserted, and even the carved houses smell of dust.
"Anyone?"
He pushed open the hidden door and looked left and right.
Suddenly, his neck was cold, and a kitchen knife came to his neck: "Who are you?"
What to do?!
An old eunuch asked him trembling as he held on to a kitchen knife.
"I ......
I," the little eunuch forgot his purpose in fright, and pointed at the kitchen knife with his finger: "Old man, hold it steady, don't accidentally hurt me." ” The old eunuch had gray hair and looked like he had no strength.
The little eunuch was not afraid that he would not be able to beat the other party, but he was afraid that the old eunuch would fall the kitchen knife if he was unstable.
"Don't talk nonsense, talk about it!"
