Chapter 32 The Change of the Imperial Capital
"Ah! Look, it's the imperial capital!" Suddenly, the pheasant pointed out of the window and shouted in surprise.
Hearing the pheasant's shout, everyone was shocked and quickly ran to the window and looked forward.
In front of you, you can faintly see an island. Above the island, there is a towering wall, a magnificent gate, and the golden red palace at the highest point in the city can be seen from afar. The city on the island in front of you is clearly the imperial capital on the Mirror Lake of Dayu!
Hu Yimeng blinked her eyes and was a little hard to believe. They were still in the second boundary in the Jiuhua Palace a moment ago. How could they return to the imperial capital after finding the exit? But the imperial capital in front of her is no different from the imperial capital in her memory?
Seeing the imperial capital suddenly appear in sight, Beichen Yeli also frowned, and there was a trace of puzzlement in his narrow phoenix eyes.
He strode out of the control room and went to the deck of Mulan Xiangzhou.
Hu Yimeng also followed him to the deck.
Beichenye stood on the side of the ship and looked at the vast sea in front of him and the imperial capital not far away. For a moment, he was also a little confused about what was real and what was illusory.
At this moment, dozens of well-equipped naval warships quickly came from afar. The warships bowed and leaned against the Mulan Xiangzhou.
In a short time, the Mulan Xiangzhou was surrounded.
In front of the Mulan Xiangzhou, on the largest of all warships, a middle-aged guard wearing armor and holding a sword shouted loudly to Beichen Yeli and Hu Yimeng on the Mulan Xiangzhou: "Who else dares to break into the forbidden area of Mirror Lake? Don't you want to rebel?! If you don't surrender quickly, you will be captured!"
Hu Yimeng was stunned and remembered that at the beginning of the establishment of the Dayu Kingdom, the Taizu Emperor built the imperial capital on Jinghu Lake. In order to ensure the absolute safety of the imperial capital and prevent rebels from attacking the imperial capital from the waterway, so the law clearly stipulated that all ships on Jinghu Lake except for the warships of the Jinghu Division could be stationary. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy. Emperor Taizu was helped by heaven and drove away hundreds of thousands of slave prisoners. For ten years, he cut a waterway about 100 miles long to communicate with the imperial capital with the outside world. Since then, both the powerful and the people can only come and go from the waterway at the bottom of the lake.
Now there will be warships coming to contain them. Is it possible that they have really returned to the imperial capital? Hu Yimeng thought doubtfully.
Seeing the sailor guard standing in the bow, Beichen Yeli frowned slightly and said loudly, "Yang Ke! Can't you even recognize me?!"
Hearing the sound of Beichen Yeli, the general was slightly stunned. He stared at Beichen Yeli for a while, and then he was stunned to recognize that the person on the ship was actually the current saint Beichen Yeli!
Recognizing the identity of Beichen Yeli, Yang Ke immediately knelt down on one knee to Beichen Yeli, held his fist and shouted, "Hangtow, my emperor! The official failed to recognize the emperor. Please forgive him!"
"Well, get up. I don't blame you for this." Beichen Yeli waved his hand and forgave Yang Ke's guilt.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to escort you back to the imperial capital." Yang Ke arched his hand and said.
"But." Beichen nod his head at night.
So Yang Ke quickly ordered the warships to give way to Mulan Xiangzhou, and many warships escorted Mulan Xiangzhou into the ferry of the imperial capital.
Beichen Yeli took Hu Yimeng, Ling Xiao, pheasant, Xing Yan and Su Muyun ashore and got into the carriage. Yang Ke personally escorted everyone to the gate of the palace.
The civil and military officials have been waiting for the arrival of Beichen Yeli in front of the palace.
When Beichen Ye left the car, the ministers immediately knelt down and saluted Beichen Yeli, shouting long live the emperor.
Beichen Yeli frowned and looked at the ministers who knelt down on the ground. A trace of doubt flashed in his heart. How did these ministers know that he would return to the palace in the near future?
"Your Majesty, Madam, you are finally back. The Empress Dowager... She passed away two days ago..." Eunuch Fang saw that Beichen Yeli returned to the palace and quickly told Beichen Yeli the news.
"What?! The Empress Dowager? Beichen Yeli was shocked.
"To the emperor, the empress dowager is gone..." Eunuch Fang nodded.
"Let me have a look." Beichen Yeli frowned. He looked back at Hu Yimeng and others and said, "Ling Xiao and Mu Yun, you two escort Huifei to Changle Palace."
Three years ago, Hu Yimeng burned down Ganquan Palace by a fire, and she also escaped from the palace and escaped from the imperial capital. After the fire was extinguished, Beichen Yeli did not rebuild the palace on the ruins of Ganquan Palace, but moved to Changle Palace where Hu Yimeng once lived. It can be said that Changle Palace is the big now. The bedroom of the emperor of the State of Yu.
Eunuch Fang left the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace with Beichen Night, while Ling Xiao and Su Muyun accompanied Hu Yimeng, Jiuer and Xingyan to Changle Palace.
Beichen Yeli rushed to the Cining Palace. At this time, the palace was full of silence. The eunuchs were all dressed in white, with their heads hanging down and silent.
Beichenye left and entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom. There were only two maids guarding at the door of the empty bedroom. There was no popularity in the empty hall. The big ** of the bedroom was lowered, and it could only be faintly seen that there was a figure lying on **.
Beichen Yeli stopped, and he always felt that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, before you return, the slaves dare not easily move the sacred body of the Empress Dowager. Please come closer." Euke Fang said respectfully to Beichen Yeli.
Hearing this, although Beichen Yeli still felt something was wrong in his heart, he had no rebuttal. He frowned and walked to the Empress Dowager's bed and reached out to lift the front of the front.
The pale empress dowager was lying stiffly. The windows in the room were closed and the light was very dark. Beichen Yeli lowered her head slightly and approached the empress dowager. Suddenly, between the lightning and stones, the empress dowager suddenly opened her eyes and raised her hand. The dagger in her hand stabbed Beichen Yeli's heart like lightning. Chen Yeli didn't notice it for a moment. His chest was stabbed, and blood immediately flowed out along the wound. In severe pain, Bei Chenyeli suddenly took a big step back, pulled out the dagger on his chest, covered the wound, and looked at ** the empress dowager who should have been dead for two days in consterling.
The Empress Dowager smiled strangely at Beichen Yeli and slowly turned into a black fog and disappeared into the air.
Beichen Yeli felt a blur in front of him, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a mass of moisture. He was almost suffocating. The feeling of dizziness came. He closed his eyes and fainted.
With the fainting of Beichen Yeli, the eunuchs in the room and the eunuchs in the Cining Palace turned into a black fog and disappeared into the air.
