The Queen stood up in shock when she heard this, "Where is the Emperor?"
"The emperor was trapped in the political hall, and the chief steward was killed." The young palace man said in a cold voice.
The chief steward has served the emperor his whole life. He is the person who cares most about the emperor, and he is also the person whom the emperor values. He will be killed as soon as he asks. This shows that the King of Shu has no intention of leaving a way out for himself.
Either he dies in the palace or he ascends to power.
Jin Xin stood up with a solemn expression after hearing this. She was extremely nervous and quickly asked Lianrong to take the child away. The Imperial Army must be coming this way.
The queen also understood Jin Xin's feelings as a mother, so she arranged for someone to escort the child away.
But as soon as the arrangements were made, the imperial army came here. When they entered the door, they slashed the neck of the palace man who blocked the door with a knife, frightening all the ladies.
Although the queen is the mother of the country, she can't hide her fear at such a moment. She has to stand up for the officials and family members present.
But the purpose of the imperial army was not the queen. They were the first to look for the portrait on their hand in the crowd. They found it after a while, and immediately left the ladies aside, causing them to scream in fright.
The leader of the Forbidden Army roared angrily, "Stop the quarrel. If you continue to quarrel, I will kill you all."
Finally, the ladies all fell silent, each one trembling, holding each other in their arms, lowering their heads, for fear of being chosen.
But Jin Xin was still pulled out, and he pulled it out with force. He looked at Jin Xin up and down, and showed a weird smile, "No wonder Prince Rui cares about her so much. It is indeed a beautiful country in the world."
Jin Xin gritted her teeth, "What's the point of bullying a woman? You men should handle matters between men."
"Haha, don't irritate me. I don't want to do this. It's definitely useful to find you." After saying that, he took her by the arm and walked out, threw her to the soldier, and said, "Take her to the east main gate."
The east main gate is where the canonization ceremony is held.
Jin Xin sighed, knowing that this was being used to threaten Prince Rui.
She had a premonition in her heart, but she still hoped that he could save her for the sake of her 'sincerity' and her identity as the child's mother.
After being taken to the east main gate, she was detained on the turret and watched as Prince Rui led his troops to fight below. He was so powerful that if given a little more time, he would be able to break through the gate and break into the inner court of the palace.
However, Jinxin was pulled out, with a sword pressed against her neck, and she shouted, "Your Highness, Prince Rui, stop. Your most beloved woman is in our hands. Stop now and capture her without mercy, and I will let her live."
King Rui raised his eyes when he heard the words, cast a cold gaze, and saw Jin Xin being controlled weakly. If the sword on her neck advanced even one inch, she would be killed.
Jin Xin looked at him nervously, with mixed emotions, and shouted, "Your Majesty."
Prince Rui tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and pointed it at the leader of the imperial army, "Liu Cheng, you have committed evil by aiding Zhou. Surrender now and I can spare the lives of your family."
His life must remain here.
This solitary voice showed his attitude.
Jin Xin closed her eyes, bursting into tears, and said nothing. She knew that compared with his great cause, she was actually a joke.
Obviously she had a premonition, but she didn't expect that she would still feel uncomfortable.
You really shouldn't expect anything from anyone.
When the leader of the Imperial Guard heard this, he snorted and said in Jin Xin's ear, "I thought you were so important, but I didn't expect him to even look at you."
Archers were prepared on the turret, and they started shooting at the palace gate below. Probably because they saw that Jin Xin was not a threat to Prince Rui, they first threw her on the spot. Liu Cheng went to get the bow and arrow, and fired at Prince Rui who was fighting below. Start chasing and shooting.
It's just that King Rui is so skilled that he can't even hit him with several arrows.
Jin Xin sat on the same spot and quickly recovered her emotions. When she saw a brazier with strong fire oil next to her, she stood up firmly.
Even if it is not for herself, she is still tied to Prince Rui, and her son is Prince Rui's child. If Prince Rui fails, her son will not survive.
Jin Xin did not hesitate and pushed down the fierce fire oil and the brazier, and the fire broke out instantly.
The fire spread quickly and instantly submerged the turret. Jin Xin took this opportunity to go to another place to knock down the brazier, but was discovered by Liu Cheng. He was furious and wanted to rush over and kill her.
"You bitch, if you dare to ruin my business, I will kill you!"
With that said, he picked up his sword and rushed over.
Jin Xin thought that she would definitely die this time, and was just about to accept her fate and not run away, but a sword suddenly pierced Liu Cheng's chest, and then, he fell straight in front of her.
What appeared in front of Jin Xin was Prince Rui, who was standing in front of her wearing a red round collar and a dragon robe with a dragon tattoo. He looked at Jin Xin anxiously and nervously. After making sure that she was okay, he seemed relieved and strode away. He stepped forward, crossed the sea of fire, and pulled her into his arms.
Jin Xin felt cold all over her body. Even though she was surrounded by a sea of hot fire, her hands and feet felt cold, and her heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
She thought she was going to die.
Prince Rui looked at her demented look and shook her awake, "Jin Xin? How are you? Are you injured?"
Jin Xin couldn't tell because her whole body was soft.
King Rui had no choice but to pick her up, jump on the pillar, jump across the sea of fire, and get down from the turret.
After coming down, Jin Xin realized that the reinforcements from outside had arrived, and the east main gate had been broken down just now.
Prince Rui looked at Jin Xin and kissed her hard on the face, "Jin Xin, you are really my lucky star. Your fire has opened up our new future!"
What new future? The emperor is not dead yet, right?
But before she could say anything, Prince Rui handed her over to his confidants. He picked up his sword and led the reinforcements. He raised his morale and shouted, "Soldiers, follow me to destroy the rebels, kill!"
Then, everyone rushed in like crazy.
Looking at the situation, they are safe.
Jin Xin quickly led people to find the child. Fortunately, they were all fine. When she hurriedly took the child to Kunning Palace, a group of people came here to look for her. After seeing them, the group hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. , brought her to the Queen's Palace.
But the queen was not there, and all the officials looked at Jin Xin with enthusiasm in their eyes, but did not speak. Concubine Lin, no, it was the crown princess, she stepped forward and pulled Jin Xin into the inner room.
"You should have guessed that the prince saved the king and killed the rebel king. The emperor was stimulated by the rebellion and fell down. He is in Qianqing Palace at the moment, and the prince is also there. Perhaps, after tonight, we will move into the palace."
The Crown Princess's eyes were filled with excitement, seeing that Jin Xin was not as unkind as before, but instead felt a little more tender after sharing the same adversity.
Jin Xin felt like she was in a dream. Her mood had been ups and downs during this day, and she couldn't describe the feeling.
She knew this day would come, but when it did come, she didn't seem to be very happy.
That night, the prince got the jade seal and the emperor entrusted the country with it. In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the east main gate, the emperor died.
The new emperor ascended the throne three days later.
