Chapter 374 What Happened
Outside the palace gate, Xie Lang stood on his horse with his sword drawn, looking up at the guards above the palace gate.
The sudden change that happened that night had caused all the guards in the imperial city to be terrified and confused.
What exactly is going on?
Shouldn’t this General Zhong be in the northwest, at Yucheng Pass?
He suddenly appeared here and broke open the city gate. Did something happen in the palace?
Everyone was in a panic, waiting for the person in charge in the palace to come and give them guidance, but they got nothing until dawn.
Xie Lang sneered and waved his hand, signaling the soldiers he brought from Yucheng Pass to begin attacking the city.
This night was also a sudden change for him.
According to the original plan, they should have attacked the palace five days later with the help of internal and external forces, rather than breaking through the city gates so suddenly and without any preparation at night.
He frowned, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
According to the prior agreement, he would attack the capital again after the emperor's death on the pretext of assisting Song Junyan to ascend the throne.
Although this reason is not very glorious, the blame is not on him. He was just a traitor who assisted, not actively attacked the capital, and he does not need to bear the infamy of future generations.
But the current situation is obviously completely different from what he had planned. Not to mention the sudden changes in the palace, he is now also extremely worried about the safety of the Queen.
She saved his life, so he would do his best to protect her.
"General, someone has poured kerosene at the foot of the city. The amount of kerosene is huge. If we use fire to attack, a huge fire will surely break out and the entire palace will be burned down."
"Kerosene?"
Xie Lang was startled and quickly ordered someone to take him to the base of the wall to check.
"Go, have someone check along the city wall to see where the kerosene has been poured."
If the kerosene had surrounded the palace, they would have to change their method of attacking the city.
His brows furrowed even more tightly, as he felt that the drastic changes in the palace that night were beyond his expectations.
"Go and tell the people guarding the city to be careful. Don't let them light the kerosene. If they do, they won't know how they died."
"Yes."
The subordinates took the order and asked someone to go outside the Meridian Gate to make a statement.
The guards at the gate were already in a panic, and became even more terrified when they heard that kerosene had been poured on the outside of the city.
The guards were already at a loss as they were struggling with hesitancy over what to do. Only then did they realize that their captain of the guards was missing!
Xie Lang looked at the chaos on the city gate tower from below and waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to launch an immediate attack.
In less than half an hour, the tightly closed palace gate was knocked open, and the soldiers surrounded the trembling guards like wolves entering a flock of sheep.
Xie Lang didn't even bother to look at what was happening at the palace gate. He told his men to deal with the aftermath here and immediately rode his horse straight to the Fengtian Palace.
The sound of horse hooves echoed in the long palace corridor, becoming extremely clear in the empty palace where only the sound of fighting could be heard.
Yunsong laughed, "Here he comes! Xie Lang is here, hahahaha, I knew that for him, attacking the capital and the palace would be a piece of cake."
Now, the last force has finally arrived.
The good show he had planned for a long time finally came to its final act.
He will immediately know into whose hands the world will eventually fall.
He turned slightly, and his peripheral vision caught sight of Lu Xinran, who was leaning drowsily on Song Junyan's shoulder, and he immediately looked away with disgust.
No matter who will take over the world in the end, it will definitely not be these two guys!
What a fool whose mind is filled with love. Fortunately, he had kept a trick up his sleeve and did not pin all his plans on these two.
After staying up all night, Lu Xinran was now feeling sleepy.
I had just fallen asleep leaning on Song Junyan when I was awakened by the feeling of my body sliding down.
She hugged Song Junyan's waist in annoyance, and heard him whisper in her ear: "Xie Lang is here."
Thanks Lang!
These two words successfully woke her up. She squinted her eyes and looked outside the hall sleepily.
"Why did he come just now?"
These soldiers in the capital and the guards of the imperial palace are all a bunch of good-for-nothings. It took a whole night to fight against them. The Northwest Army... has become slack!
Song Junyan smiled and raised his hand to tidy up her messy hair, then he took out the hairpin from her head and used his big, nimble hands to tie her hair into a bun again.
Yunsong felt that he was so cheap!
He knew clearly that these two guys were useless and could never see the situation clearly, but he still couldn't help but watch this eye-catching scene again!
The queen also followed his gaze and glanced at the young couple. The corners of her lips curled up and then turned expressionless.
The hurried sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and Lu Xinran was completely awake. She yawned, let Song Junyan support her shoulders, and the two walked towards the palace gate together.
On the bluestone floor, the empress dowager had long lost the dignity and respect she had when she first came. The gray hair on her temples had now turned snow-white, and the shallow marks at the corners of her eyes and lips had turned into ravines.
She embraced the emperor, who had suddenly woken up and looked extremely energetic, and followed the gazes of the crowd to look outside.
Everything that was supposed to come has come.
The emperor's throat was hoarse and he wanted to scold everyone in the hall, but when he opened his mouth, only a meaningless gurgling sound came out.
Xie Lang saw a very familiar figure at a glance, and he rode his horse straight towards the queen.
Fortunately, she is fine.
The fierce horse suddenly stopped in front of the palace gate. The chaotic sound of horse hooves and neighing could not hide the eagerness in everyone's eyes.
He dismounted and walked quickly to the queen's side. "What happened? Why was the plan advanced?"
Yunsong came out from behind the queen and laughed heartily: "Of course it's because the emperor's time is up and he can't wait until five days later."
His voice was so unfamiliar that Xie Lang almost subconsciously pulled the queen behind him.
"who are you?"
"Me? I'm the queen you've been communicating with!"
Yunsong narrowed his eyes and smiled like a mouse that had stolen oil. "We were communicating yesterday. Have you forgotten?"
"you?"
Xie Lang looked at him suspiciously for a long time, then his expression suddenly changed. He quickly turned around and looked at the queen.
"Those letters weren't written by you?"
"Of course not. Do you think that with her personality, she would say that she wants to be with you forever and ever and marry you?"
Yunsong laughed excitedly, then leaned over and started coughing violently.
He really likes the feeling of everyone playing with him in applause!
Lu Xinran suddenly stepped forward and handed a handkerchief to him: "Alright, don't be too happy and then end up in sorrow. You carefully arranged such a big show, but you can't see the result. Do you think you will die with regrets?
"But it doesn't matter if your eyes are not closed. I am a kind person and will ask someone to chant sutras for you and close your dry eyelids.
"Well, you can't see anything if you close your eyes. Everything that happens next has nothing to do with you. Tsk tsk tsk, it's really pitiful just to think about it!"
Yunsong: “…”
No, he must kill this annoying guy before he dies!
"Are you cursing me in your heart again? You know I can see what you're thinking. Why bother? Don't be angry. If you get sick from anger, no one can help you!"
Yunsong's eyes were bloodshot and he coughed violently, with a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth.
