Chapter 28: Attack

Although he spoke easily, Feng Wuhen was still a little restless in the Qinzheng Hall. Because he was afraid of disturbing Xiao Yunchao, he acted secretly. Even Chen Lingcheng just sent a note with the word "shun". Feng Wuhen did not dare to send his two shadow guards easily. There were too few people around him, so he had to gather people here before planning. However, fortunately, there was his own kitchen in Qinzheng Hall, and Xiao Yunchao did not cut off the supply of vegetables and meat, so everyone inside did not worry about the risk of starvation. However, no one knew how long this day would last. After all, Xiao Yunchao was already very clear and he was determined to rebel.

On this day, Ming Jue, who had been observing the situation outside, suddenly rushed in in a hurry, bent down and saluted, and then reported: "Master, the guards and imperial guards outside seem to be changing defenses."

This simple sentence immediately surprised everyone. In the past few days, they could see clearly that the guards and the imperial guards outside were all guards in shifts, and all the food was delivered here. Chen Lingcheng could have been able to get out before, but he didn't know what method he used. Ye Feng and Liao Suiqing were both guards, so they had also distinguished the people outside, but in the end they found that there were only a few who looked a little familiar. From this point alone, Feng Wuhen had already concluded that the guards outside were all Xiao Yunchao's confidants, so they had few opportunities to contact him.

"Your Majesty, it's rare to have an opportunity. Do you want to take the opportunity to get out?" Ming Jue saw that everyone was stunned, so he took the initiative to suggest, "Most of the guards in the palace should be blinded. As long as the emperor comes forward, they will definitely bow down and surrender." He rarely said so many words, and immediately attracted many gazes from others.

"Don't take risks." Hai Ruoxin shook her head and said, "The emperor's body of thousands of gold, the first wild bee has made a mistake. Let's wait a little longer now." After she said this, Qiu Qingyuan, who was beside her, lowered his head, and a hint of embarrassment and regret flashed across her face.

"Well, observe for a while." Feng Wuhen didn't want to cause any trouble at this critical moment, so he was ready to wait and see what happened. "However, I think there is something strange about this defense change. After all, I have never had this incident in the past few days, so only Xiao Yunchao sent someone to inquire about my condition once. Could it be that the person who was secretly watching was ready to take action?" His face immediately became gloomy, obviously because he was considering the obstacles.

The others were stunned when they heard this, and then they showed a solemn look. It is important to know that they were always on guard against those who were lurking in the dark, just to be able to catch them all in one go. "What the emperor means is that the situation may change?" Ye Feng asked tentatively, "Will someone send someone to try to find out what's going on?"

Feng Wuhen was about to speak, but he saw Xiao Fangzi suddenly rushed in and said with a pale face: "Master, something is not good, someone wants to break into the palace!" Seeing that everyone was stunned, he quickly explained in detail. It turned out that after only half of the change of defense, a few of the new guards rushed into Qinzheng Hall while the people were unprepared, but were blocked by the people who were guarding the door at first. Xiao Fangzi was observing in the dark for a while, and unexpectedly found that the people coming seemed to be disguised, so he hurried over to report.

"Ye Feng, Liao Suiqing, you two go over and help, try to capture the person!" Feng Wuhen also felt a little strange, and immediately ordered. The two of them immediately responded. Ming Jue claimed the crime and finally followed him out. However, Hai Ruoxin couldn't help but look at her husband with concern. There was something happening all of a sudden. It was undoubtedly a huge laughing stock when she spread it out. Therefore, no matter what the final result was, this passage must be hidden. Even if Xiao Yunchao was dealt with, it would be difficult to use the crime of forgery and privately breaking into the Forbidden Garden.

A quarter of an hour later, the defense change outside was finally completed. However, to everyone's surprise, the guards who broke into the palace were mixed with Xu Chunshu. Even Feng Wuhen felt strange about this incident. Xu Chunshu was naturally very happy to see the emperor safe and sound, and a long-awaited heart finally came to the ground. Feng Wuhen only learned that Xiao Yunchao's fake queen mother ordered a group of princes and ministers to be invited to Cining Palace by chance. He was in a mess. At this moment, how could he not know what the other party was trying to make? But, with the strict outside, how should he go out?

Suddenly, a cheerful laugh came from outside, and everyone couldn't help but frowned at this behavior of losing their manners in front of the emperor. Feng Wuhen identified the person in a moment and immediately took a few steps out with joy. Sure enough, Ming Jue followed Chen Lingcheng in military uniform expressionlessly, and the two walked in one after another.

"I am worthy of the emperor's expectations, and it has already allowed people to relieve the crisis of the Qinzheng Hall." Chen Lingcheng leaned over and said, "Fortunately, Ling Renjie and the others were just under house arrest before, so it took no time to rescue them. Wei Chen took a few confidants who were stationed in the guard office, seized a fake imperial decree from them, and forged a copy in accordance with the same way, which led to the previous change of defense. Now Xiao Yunchao and the others are gathered in Cining Palace, and I think others can't help but take action. The emperor can catch them all in one go."

Chen Lingcheng's rescue was undoubtedly a timely help. Everyone who was thinking about how to escape the situation immediately reversed the situation. Although Chen Lingcheng said it lightly, everyone knew that since Xiao Yunchao was so sure, it would probably not be easy to deal with the guards. Just looking at the few hidden stains on Chen Lingcheng's military uniform, they could conclude that this time's rescue was not enough to take much effort.

"Thank you Mr. Chen," Feng Wuhen personally helped him up and said word by word, "For the past few years, if it weren't for your hard work, I wouldn't have been today. Well, I won't say much nonsense. Now that the general situation is settled, we can't kill time here. How are the garrisons in Cining Palace? How many people are there?"

Chen Lingcheng just smiled slightly, as if he was not moved by the emperor's words, but his heart was a little throbbing. After hearing the following sentence, he pondered for a while before answering: "Emperor, the Cining Palace is now the place where Xiao Yunchao issued orders, so many people gathered. In the eyes of Weichen, a strong attack is not the best strategy. After all, the princes and ministers inside are almost unarmed. Weichen has already sent someone to take down the gates of the palace. If there is anything wrong with it, as long as the emperor's decree to enter the palace to serve the king, the final chance of victory will be 90%. Of course, this can only be the last measure taken at a loss."

Xu Chunshu's eyes lit up immediately, and Feng Wuhen nodded and praised: "Old Chen is really considerate. Well, what about the guards who have changed defense now? Have they been disarmed?" When he thought of these people blocking the Qinzheng Hall by Xiao Yunchao's order, he felt sick. Nothing is more serious than betrayal of his subordinates. After all, when he thought of the guards in the palace who actually colluded with rebellion, he felt chilling.

"Of course, but it took some effort to complete it." Chen Lingcheng of course knew Feng Wuhen's intentions and comforted him, "Emperor, only a few of these people are Xiao Yunchao's confidants, and many of them were deceived by the so-called queen mother's imperial edict. It should be noted that the emperor was sick in bed at that time, so they certainly could not disobey the imperial edict. In addition, Xiao Yunchao was the minister in charge of the guards. Do they have any other choice? Even Lord Hai was placed under house arrest in the guards. Where did they go to question the authenticity of the imperial edict?" Chen Lingcheng did not want Feng Wuhen to doubt everyone for this battle, so he had to make a lot of advice.

"I understand, thank you Mr. Chen for reminding me, just as you want." Feng Wuhen suddenly felt a sudden enlightenment, and a long-lost true smile appeared on his face. "Zi Xu, don't delay here, you can try to go out to prepare for emergencies later. I will go to Cining Palace with the Queen and the others here. However, it's not bad to watch a good show first." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but remember the good news that Hai Ruoxin had reported before, and glanced at her lower abdomen, obviously a little worried.

"Your Majesty, it's better to be the country. I'm just pregnant, so it's not a problem." Hai Ruoxin felt sad when she saw her husband's expression, and immediately said disapprovingly, "Time is tight, so let's hurry over!"

Feng Wuhen stared at his wife deeply and then nodded solemnly. Indeed, compared with the upcoming conflict, other things could only be put aside, and Hai Ruoxin, as the queen, had to be there. However, everyone had no intention of wearing court uniforms and swaggeringly. Therefore, after Xiao Fangzi prepared the emperor and queen's clothes for preparation, they changed into guard costumes and rushed towards Cining Palace.

The atmosphere in Cining Palace had already become extremely intense. After Prince Zhuang Feng Huaiqi expressed his opposition, Prince Qing Feng Huaide and Prince Su Feng Huaiyin also refuted one after another, which surprised Feng Minzhi and others on the side. They all vaguely knew the positions of the old princes, so naturally they would not take it for granted that these people were loyal, but instead became more suspicious of the name behind them. However, their silence angered Xiao Yunchao even more. He never expected that when he had mastered the overall situation, someone would doubt his authority, which was undoubtedly a kind of contempt.

"You guys are so brave!" Xiao Yunchao suddenly rebuked, "I am just passing on the orders of the Empress Dowager. You are so lying to speak loudly, which is really too deceptive! Since I am willing to call you to discuss matters, I have naturally received the approval of the Empress Dowager. The so-called prosecutorial statement is really a false statement!" At this point, he slapped his high-high three times, and saw a team of fully armed guards immediately rushed out of the side hall, all of whom were full of evil spirits, as if they were ready for an impact.
