Chapter 185 A complete defeat
Chapter 185 A complete defeat
"Ah! Murder—"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"
The hall was instantly in chaos.
Screams and cries of fear rang out one after another, and the imperial guards and officials were in chaos.
Queen Wang turned pale with fright.
She stared at Ye Zhennan, her eyes bloodshot: "Ye Zhennan, you are so bold! How dare you stain this hall with blood!"
Ye Zhennan stood in front of everyone holding a blood-stained sword.
Although the old man is nearly seventy years old, he has the momentum of a single man blocking the way for ten thousand men!
Ye Zhennan shook the blood off his sword and stared at Queen Wang with sharp eyes: "The Queen is about to force the palace to rebel, so what's so strange about this old minister's blood staining the palace?"
"Everyone, stop for me!"
Queen Wang shouted loudly to all around.
The imperial guards who were forced to flee in all directions after being killed by Ye Zhennan were instantly frozen in place.
Queen Wang glared at Ye Zhennan and said, "Ye Zhennan, do you think killing a few imperial guards will change anything? The palace is now full of imperial guards. If you have the decency to lay down your weapons and commit suicide to apologize, I can even return an intact body to the general's mansion!"
"Your Majesty, please look back!"
Ye Zhennan sneered and said, "See if there are only imperial guards in this palace!"
Queen Wang then remembered something and looked outside suddenly.
Outside the Golden Palace, a huge army was approaching, and walking in the front were Ye Zhennan’s two sons and... Yan Qing, who was holding a bow and arrow in his hand!
"Yan Qing!"
It turns out that the arrow that just shot at Chu'er was shot by Yan Qing!
Ying Chu, who was sweating from the pain while covering his arm, also saw Yan Qing. He cursed her as a bitch, stood up and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Queen Wang.
Queen Wang looked at the troops behind Yan Qing in horror.
"This is……"
"It's the Ye family army!"
Someone recognized him and immediately exclaimed, "Empress, this is the Ye family army!"
"impossible!"
Ying Chu covered his arm and said, "The Ye Family Army is far away at the border guarding the territory, how could it be the Ye Family Army?!"
"I still want to ask you something!"
Queen Wang pointed at the two leading the troops and demanded, "Didn't I tell you to arrest all the members of the Ye family and put them in jail? Why are Ye Zuan and Ye Zulong outside?"
Ying Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "When I went to the general's residence, Ye Zuan and Ye Zulong were not at home, so I arrested the others first. However, I also sent people to the military camp to arrest them. I didn't expect..."
"Snapped!"
Queen Wang couldn't bear it any longer and slapped her son.
She was really going to be pissed off by this idiot!
The frame-up letter was messed up.
No one has been caught yet!
Regardless of why these Ye family soldiers suddenly returned to Kyoto from the border, if it were not for Ye Zuan and Ye Zulong, two members of the Ye family, even if all 300,000 Ye family soldiers appeared in the capital, they would be an army without anyone.
Only the Ye family army led by the Ye family members can become a group of tigers and wolves!
Ying Chu was slapped aside, but dared not say a word.
He stared outside with a pale face.
The Ye Family Army can defeat a hundred with one, and the sudden appearance of so many Ye Family Army soldiers in the palace means that their imperial guards stationed in various places in the palace have been eliminated...
Queen Wang was also frightened.
But she calmed herself down and turned to look at Emperor Yong with cold eyes: "Your Majesty, the Ye family army has been stationed at the border for many years. Now that you have transferred the Ye family army back, aren't you afraid that the enemy will occupy the border?"
Emperor Yong said coldly, "The Queen doesn't need to worry about that."
Queen Wang felt a lump in her throat.
She knew she lost today.
Total defeat.
Ye Zhennan was protecting Emperor Yong in front, and the Ye family army was blocking her way from behind. She didn't expect that all her efforts would end in failure.
Queen Wang did not blame her son.
When she saw Ye Jiajun, she knew that Chu'er had been fooled.
He thought he was setting a trap for the General's Mansion, but unexpectedly he was set a trap by the General's Mansion instead.
At this time, Yan Qing and his two uncles had already arrived at the gate of the Golden Palace.
Yan Qing bent his bow and drew his arrow: "Empress, surrender!"
Queen Wang sneered.
After a while, she suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Huaizhou beside Emperor Yong: "This was all your idea, right?
Ever since the news of the Tanzhou Iron Mine was reported to Kyoto, you have been planning this."
After being silent for most of the day, Gu Huaizhou finally spoke: "Yes."
Prince Li narrowed his eyes instantly. Was it Gu Huaizhou who was responsible for the Tanzhou Iron Mine incident?
Prince Jing opened his eyes slightly wide.
What was Ziyuan saying? Why didn’t he understand it at all?
Queen Wang was silent.
She always thought that the incident in Tanzhou was done by Prince Li, but she didn't expect it was actually Gu Huaizhou.
After a while, Queen Wang asked, "When did the Ye family army... return to Kyoto?"
She had no idea at all.
"Half a month ago."
Yan Qing answered this question. She looked at Queen Wang and, with rare kindness, explained, "We've been preparing since Wei Yanyan faked her pregnancy and moved into the General's Mansion. Your Majesty, you didn't deserve to lose..."
"So you already knew..."
Queen Wang laughed at herself. She thought that her and Chu'er's plan was perfect, but she didn't expect that it had been discovered long ago.
After a pause, Queen Wang glanced at the large number of Ye's army outside and pursed her lips. "I still have one question I don't understand. How did you, with so many Ye's army soldiers, hide from me and the Wang family's spies and return to Yongjing?"
"It's simple, break it down into small pieces."
After Yan Qing finished speaking, his eyes fell on Ying Chu who was beside Queen Wang, and he curled his lips: "If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi who was determined to deal with the General's Mansion, we wouldn't have thought of this method to catch you all... in one fell swoop!"
After hearing Yan Qing's words, Ying Chu completely collapsed to the ground.
It turned out that his plan had been discovered long ago!
But why?
He hadn't told anyone except his mother.
Why was Yan Qing so sure that Wei Yanyan was his? Why was he so suspicious and wary of him from the very beginning?
Yingchu doesn’t understand.
Yan Qing wouldn't let him understand either.
She turned the arrow slightly, and the tip of the arrow, shining with a cold light, pointed directly at Ying Chu's eyebrows: "Empress, tell all the guards in the palace to lay down their weapons, otherwise..."
Yan Qing stared at Ying Chu.
She has been waiting for this day for a long time...
She even secretly hoped that Queen Wang would not listen to her, so that she would have a reason to shoot to death this enemy who had harmed the entire general's mansion for his own selfish interests in her previous life!
"Mother, save me!"
Ying Chu subconsciously hid behind Queen Wang.
Queen Wang knew that she could not escape today. She looked at her son and suddenly took out a dagger from her sleeve and put it against Ying Chu's neck.
Ying Chu's eyes widened in shock: "Mother?"
Queen Wang ignored him completely and put the dagger against Prince Ying's neck as she looked at Emperor Yong: "Your Majesty, I have been married to you for over thirty years, and I have never received a single moment of your sincerity. You have given your heart to that bitch Concubine Yue!
But I want to tell you today that I also hate you very much, and I hate giving birth to a child for you even more. That’s why I have trained Chu’er to obey his grandfather since he was a child. He is just my tool!
You want me to give up resistance?
dream! "
Queen Wang suddenly gave a cold order: "No one is allowed to surrender. Fight your way out for me!"
"kill--"
