Peach Blossom

Chapter 77 The Palace Becomes into Deep Fire

A few days, the emperor fainted in the imperial study, and the doctors of the imperial hospital came helplessly. They could no longer prescribe medicine, but only boiled ginseng soup. Everyone knew that the emperor's limit had come. For a moment, people were panicked, and Kyoto was shrouded in a strange atmosphere.

The power of Kyoto is obvious: first, the prince has a greater chance of winning the throne; second, Xiahou Mian, who is a little sure; third, Xiahou Yu, who still has the ability to compete with the first two. Since Xiahouchen's accident, Wangfu has been dead. Even after the emperor fainted, no one has visited the palace. Everyone secretly guessed that the military power in Xiahouchen's hands will also disintegrate.

On this day, the early people did not feel happy. The sky was gloomy, the autumn wind was cool, and a dull breath gradually filled. Near noon, the sky was still as dark as dusk.

The dark sky seemed to herine the restlessness of the night. At night, the emperor was still still awake, and the nine kings suddenly led his own soldiers to occupy Xuanwumen. The palace is divided into the outer court and the inner court. The outer court is located in the south of the palace, and the inner court is in the north of the palace. As the main gate to the north, Xuanwumen has a pivotal position, which is equivalent to controlling the inner court, and controlling the inner court can also control the emperor.

Xiahou stood on the wall of Xuanwumen, and the blade flashed with a devouring cold light under the shaking lights. He finally took action. Xiahou Yu was not afraid. Now there is only one left in the East Palace. After tonight, the world is the only one.

Arranged the guard of Xuanwumen, and he led the general straight into the palace until the Ganlu Hall where the emperor slept. There are layers of bright yellow brocade curtains hanging in the hall. The light in the hall is soft, and the evening wind rushed in with the opening of the door of the hall, making the brocade flying, which makes people feel deep and strange.

Xiahou Mian walked to the depths of the hall step by step. Brother, your throne should be given up. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. He lifted the curtain and moved his lips gently: "Huang--"

Before the second word was said, his whole body stiffened, and there was no one on the bed. His heart sank and exclaimed "not good" yet. There was a sound in his ear, the silver light flashed, and a sword rested coldly on his neck: "Ninth Prince, I'm offended!"

"Who are you? What a bold man to hold me hostage!" Worthy of going through the storm, Xia Houmian quickly calmed down and shouted harshly.

He sneered and mocked, "What's the better than the ninth prince's conspiracy to usurp the throne?"

Xiahou Mian snorted coldly, smiled gloomily, and glanced left and right: "Do you think you can get me alone? Outside the Ganlu Hall are all my followers. As long as you dare to touch my hair, you will die without a place to die!"

"I'm afraid they can't protect themselves."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of fighting outside. Xia Houmian twitched at the corners of his mouth: "I thought Xia Houze was a obedient dog, but I didn't expect it to be a bloodthirsty wolf."

He shook his head gently: "The nine kings are serious. Whether the prince is a wolf or not remains to be verified. Tonight, I would like to invite the nine kings to watch a good show!"

Xiahou Mian's heart thumped, stared at him in surprise, and shook his head: "It's impossible, it's impossible. I went to see him in person. It won't be him, it won't be his!"

"Lord Jiu, don't worry, you will have an answer soon!" He closed his mouth indifferently and said nothing more.

——————————————————————————

"Your Highness, the nine kings have really entered the palace. General Xie is supervising the army in Xuanwumen!" Mo Qinghan rushed into the Guangtian Hall to report.

Xiahou Ze breathed a relaxed breath: "I didn't expect Uncle Jiu Wang to really rise to the army. Fortunately, he learned the news in advance and secretly transferred his father to the Guangtian Hall!"

"Your Highness, now--"

He shook his head: "Wait for the news from the Prime Minister and General Xie! Mo Qinghan, you can choose hundreds of guards to strictly guard the Guangtian Hall and protect your father.

Don't take the lead.

Yin Pun blinked her eyes, as if she couldn't believe everything in front of her. Xia Houze held her hand: "You stay here and stay with your father. I won't let you be fine!"

"Are you going to Xuanwumen?" Her voice trembled a little.

Xia Houze nodded and pulled out a smile: "I'll be back soon. Have a good sleep first. Didn't you mean to go to the Nuanxiang Hall to see that little guy? I will definitely go with you!"

"Good!" She answered faintly and suddenly grabbed his sleeve: "What about the Cheng'en Hall?"

"I have made arrangements, don't worry!" He comforted and smiled, bent his head and pecked her lips gently, said "Be careful", and strode to the door of the palace, but was stopped at the threshold. Xia Houze frowned and shouted softly, "Bold, why did you block the way of Your Highness?"

"Please stay in the Light Heaven Hall!"

At a glimpse of this situation, Yin Pianxuan was a little puzzled and hurried out: "What's wrong? Why did you block Your Highness's way? Does General Xie mean? Or do you mean the Prime Minister?"

"It's what I mean!"

The cold voice was inserted abruptly. It was a big beard. He lowered his eyes and sneered at the corners of his mouth, but the big beard covered his smile well.

After a moment of silence, Yin Pianxuan and Xia Houze looked at each other and found a consistent answer from each other's eyes: it was him!

He slowly raised his eyes, his eyes burst into a sharp light, and sneered: "Brother, are you surprised? The royal brother should not be surprised. You said that you would accompany him. In this way, the royal brother is careless!"

"Fourth brother, if you stop here, I can treat it as nothing has happened."

Xia Houchen exhaled gently: "Don't you think it's too late? Is it possible that the pawn crossing the river can retreat?

"I should have thought that the fourth brother is brave and good at fighting, and how can a fire in Mingqingyuan pose a threat to you? I have never been able to find the reason for the water in Mingqingyuan. Now I understand that it turned out to be a trick of the fourth brother. Hide from the sky and cross the sea and take advantage of the opportunity to enter. That's wonderful!" Xia Houze shook his head and smiled, "It's just that when did you become the bodyguard selected by General Xie?"

"It's not difficult to replace those guards!"

Her eyes flowed on him and wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh at all. Now she really wants to have a good sleep and wake up to erase all this miscellaneous things.

"What do you want?" Xia Houze clenched his fist and said, which gave birth to regret. He stood here and made his attempt clear.

"Gun over the military charm!"

"The military charm, the military charm of the Yulin army?" Xia Houze suddenly realized and smiled, "I understand that you deliberately leaked the news about Uncle Jiu Wang's military, so that I can secretly transfer my father to the East Palace, just because you want a military charm! Although you have many soldiers, it is also difficult to deal with tens of thousands of Yulin troops! Unfortunately, the military charm is not on me. If you want a military charm, you can only wait for your father to wake up--"

Xia Houchen exhaled deeply, looked at Yin Pancy coldly, and said coldly, "Give me the military charm!"

Yin Piao's teeth trembled and shook his head doubtfully: "I don't have a charm!"

"The brocade box given to you by your father is the military charm!"

She looked blank. Is that a military charm?! Did the emperor give her a military charm? Turn the world around?! So that's it! She leaned against Xiahouze uneasily and denied, "I returned that thing to the emperor!"

Xia Houchen snorted and waved his hand: "Flying Eagle, go in and search!"

"Yes!" It was the dark yellow-faced bodyguard, the flying eagle, who responds to the sound.

Yin Piaoxuan stared at him, which is his usual trick, isn't it? Disguised as another person and played with others in applause, he couldn't help laughing secretly: "How did Prince Yu know that the emperor gave me a military charm?"

"I was just curious about what kind of reward a pot of jade lip fragrance could get. I turned it over casually, but I didn't expect it to be a military charm, which surprised me!"

"You turned over my stuff?! Why do you turn over my stuff?!" She gritted her teeth and asked angrily.

He said word by word, "I will be your master and the master of the world!"

This sentence blocked everyone without words. The domineering tone seemed to be in his hands and there was no doubt about it.

Xia Houze was not as surprised as expected. For him, Xia Houchen's move was not abrupt. He already had a hunch in his heart that it was Xia Houchen who stood in front of him to compete with him for the world. But when the facts were put in front of him, his heart felt empty, and he finally took action. After tonight, the winner will be divided.
