Chapter 429: The Female Sea King and the Handsome Guard (29)
Chapter 429: The Female Sea King and the Handsome Guard (29)
The next morning, a guard rushed into the palace and shouted in panic, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
Bai Fengzhi sat on the dragon chair, frowning, and asked seriously: "Why are you so flustered? Tell me slowly."
The guard panted and said, "The princess' cell was robbed last night and she escaped."
Hearing this, Bai Fengzhi slammed the table in anger and shouted, "What? That evil girl, are the people in the Dali Temple just sitting there doing nothing? They actually let her get away!"
She was so angry that her face turned blue, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Give the order immediately, and send someone out to arrest him as soon as possible!"
The guards quickly took orders and left. Bai Fengzhi sat on the dragon chair and muttered to himself after thinking for a moment: "This rebellious girl is becoming more and more lawless!"
A month passed, and the Dali Temple still failed to arrest the princess.
Bai Fengzhi asked with eyes wide open: "It's been so long, and you still haven't caught that rebellious girl? What are you guys doing for a living?"
The Dali Temple Minister knelt on the ground and answered tremblingly: "Your Majesty, we have sent more people to search everywhere, but the eldest princess seems to be trying to avoid our pursuit, and we have not found her trace yet."
Bai Fengzhi snorted coldly, feeling very dissatisfied. At this moment, someone suddenly came to report,
"Your Majesty, a fast horse has arrived with news that a large number of soldiers have been spotted moving in the southwest. It is reported that General Han has led an army of 200,000 to rebel under the pretext of 'clearing the emperor's side'!"
Bai Fengzhi's face instantly turned pale, and he tightly grasped the armrests with both hands, with veins popping out on the back of his hands.
In the court, the whole court fell into a deathly silence for a moment, and the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Bai Fengzhi quickly sat back in his seat and suddenly burst into laughter: "Purge the emperor's side? Rebellion!"
As she smiled, she turned her head to look at the backyard director standing beside her and asked, "How is Han Guijun doing recently?"
Hearing Bai Fengzhi's question, the director of the back court hurriedly replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, since the last time, Han Guijun has been staying in Xianghe Palace and has not stepped out of the palace."
Bai Fengzhi narrowed her eyes slightly. Half a year ago, she had received a report from the dark, and learned that Han Kangrong was secretly recruiting soldiers and horses in an attempt to take action.
And now, since the other party finally couldn't help but take action, she naturally had enough reasons and excuses to take these people down in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Bai Fengzhi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible sneer.
"General Zhang, General Wang, listen to my orders!" Bai Fengzhi stood up suddenly and shouted, "You two should lead the army to Yancheng as soon as possible and stop the enemy from advancing!"
Following her order, the two generals immediately knelt on one knee and responded in unison: "Yes, sir!"
Bai Fengzhi thought to himself, "Hmph, Han Kangrong, ah Han Kangrong, you finally lost your temper. In this case, don't blame me for being rude..."
Another half month passed.
"Xiaoxue, have you heard? There's chaos in the north!"
Yan Xue was stunned. So fast? But if you calculate the time, it's about the same. The male protagonist ascended the throne a year after leaving her, and now half a year has passed.
"How's the situation over there?"
Yan Feng said worriedly, "I heard that the Southwestern General Han Kangrong led an army of 200,000 to rebel."
Yan Xue frowned. Is this man crazy? The king is a good king who is resolute and caring for the people.
Rebellion without any reason will not only lead to the destruction of lives, but also make the people miserable.
Yan Xue shook her head helplessly. No wonder she was killed so quickly in her previous life.
Three months later, Han Kangrong's army was completely defeated after being attacked from both sides by Wang Shang's army. The soldiers on the battlefield celebrated with joy and encouragement.
At this moment, the royal court was experiencing a bloody storm.
Bai Fengzhi looked at the dozens of guards standing in front of him and shouted angrily: "Bai Xiyue, are you going to rebel?"
"Queen Mother, you forced me to do this. The throne should have been mine. Why did you demote me to a commoner?
I didn't do any witchcraft at all. I didn't do it at all. It was that woman Bai Xirou who did it."
Bai Fengzhi sneered, his eyes full of disappointment and anger: "Huh, are you sure you didn't do anything? Xirou was poisoned last month, wasn't it you who poisoned her?
And the eldest prince was assassinated in Taizhou before. Wasn't it your handiwork?"
Bai Xiyue was panicked when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure. She raised her head and laughed, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, it turns out you know everything, so what!
But I am obviously your most outstanding daughter, but you have always been partial to them. Why?"
Bai Fengzhi's eyes gradually became deep, and she said with great sorrow: "Xiyue, you are indeed outstanding, but to be a qualified king, you need more than just excellence.
She must also have a heart that loves the people like her own children and be willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the people of the world. Look at yourself, do you possess these qualities?
You are selfish and narrow-minded. How can you be worthy of being the ruler of a country?"
Bai Xiyue bit her lip, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes: "Queen Mother, there is no point in saying more. Today, one of us must die."
After she gave an order, the hundreds of guards following behind her immediately swarmed forward and rushed towards Bai Fengzhi.
The imperial guards who were originally responsible for protecting the king also reacted quickly and engaged in a fierce fight with the guards.
Bai Fengzhi stood there, watching coldly everything that was happening before his eyes, his heart filled with endless sadness and pain.
She couldn't believe that the daughter she had raised would end up like this...
At this moment in Kuncheng, the sun shines through the clouds, illuminating the streets and alleys.
"Hurry... hurry, Xiaoxue's amniotic water broke!" The sudden shout broke the tranquility of the Yan family.
The family was sitting together, enjoying a warm dinner, but Yan Xue suddenly felt her lower body wet.
She stroked her forehead, smiled and said to her mother, "Mom, my water broke." This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, throwing the entire dining room into chaos.
Everyone was busy moving, and Yan Xue was carefully picked up by a burly and strong old woman, and hurriedly walked towards the delivery room that had been prepared long ago.
At the same time, two court doctors and four experienced midwives quickly arrived and were ready to take charge.
Yan Ding stood anxiously at the door of the delivery room, clasped his hands together, and prayed silently in his heart: "God, please bless my elder sister to be safe and sound.
Why hasn't Yan Jue come back yet? I think he doesn't want the position of Zhengfu anymore."
