Chapter 718: the truth
Arrived outside the gate of the inner palace, the imperial army was surrounded everywhere, and the blood-stained swords, guns, swords and halberds shone with a cold breath under the light of the torches.
Ji Cen'an was guarding the palace gate with a solemn face. He smiled happily when he saw Lin Jinshu, Chu Nanzhi and the others. , the leaders of the rebel party have all been arrested and awaiting release."
After finishing speaking, he waved to the soldiers, and more than a dozen masterminds including Yang Runchen, Lin Tingkai, and Suwei Zhonglang General Pang Yuan were immediately brought up.
Looking at the unwilling Yang Runchen, Lin Jinshu first comforted the **** soldiers, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It is our duty to be loyal to His Majesty."
The general next to Ji Cen'an glared at Pang Yuan who was being escorted, and apologized with shame on his face: "It's all because the general didn't notice, and let this guy almost break into the inner palace."
"The general is definitely not to blame for this matter. As the commander of the imperial army, this princess was almost deceived."
Lin Jinshu stared at Chu Nanzhi gratefully, knowing that if she hadn't taken precautions this time, these thieves might really have succeeded.
Yang Runchen realized at this moment that he had already been manipulated by others.
She glanced resentfully at Chu Nanzhi who had a calm face, and said with a sneer: "Princess Pingning is really a good plan, I am so convinced that I lost."
"Master Situ is too much."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him meaningfully: "I really admire Yang Situ. It's a good skill to let all the old people in Weilan Palace be used by you with ease."
As he spoke, he smiled at him again: "I really want to know how Lord Situ managed to let these people willingly be manipulated by you. No matter how prestigious the third uncle is, he must not have the ability to do so, right?"
Lin Tingkai didn't know that those old people in Weilan Palace had always obeyed Yang Runchen, and he didn't know that Feng Yue who exposed himself and Concubine Yue was Yang Runchen's secret work. The old man of the Blue Palace, Master Situ, what will this woman say?"
"Your Highness, success or failure has its own destiny. Although you and I have fought hard tonight and failed to achieve our ambitions, it can be regarded as deadly generosity. Don't listen to this woman's gossip again."
Yang Runchen retorted calmly.
Lin Tingkai, however, was unwilling to go to his death. He knelt heavily on the ground, and begged sadly: "Jin Shu, the emperor's uncle was fooled for a while by being instigated by others, so quickly bring the emperor's uncle into the palace to meet His Majesty and the old ancestors."
"Your Highness."
Yang Runchen was extremely disappointed with his pitiful and condescending behavior, and said earnestly: "As the son of the late emperor and the younger brother of Prince Ting'an, your highness can be so shameless."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp voice came out from the palace: "Yang Situ also has the face to mention the prince?"
Everyone heard the prestige and looked around, only to see Yin Enci leading a group of palace servants stepping out slowly.
Although the palace suffered a catastrophe, under the desperate resistance of the imperial army led by Ji Cen'an, and the reinforcements arrived in time, no one broke into the inner palace's bedrooms.
Besides being surprised, Yin Enci probably guessed that his daughter-in-law and Jin Shu had already taken precautions against this matter, otherwise how could the situation be controlled so stably.
Yin Enci held a white brocade robe in his hand, walked slowly to Chu Nanzhi, personally put the robe on her shoulders, and nodded in satisfaction: "Girl, thank you for your hard work."
"I didn't inform the ancestors and His Majesty in advance, and the daughter-in-law was deeply panicked."
Being so cared by her, Chu Nanzhi felt warm in her heart, thinking that Princess Heshu had done such an earth-shattering event without telling her, at this moment she was a little afraid that she would blame herself.
"You did the right thing. This kind of thing is really unpredictable, so there is no need to make people panic."
Yin Enci said in a deep voice of relief.
Although she also had a premonition that the palace would be unstable in the near future, she never expected that the thieves would choose to attack on the eve of the end of the year festival.
But the Empress Dowager Tian Yuchan, who realized what was going on, felt extremely dissatisfied. She looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smirk, and said in a strange way: "My niece and daughter-in-law are really tricky, and they trap me in a relationship with my ancestor and His Majesty." It is too inappropriate to use the palace as bait."
"That's right, brothers and sisters, if the king hadn't come in time, if something happens to the queen mother, the ancestors, and the emperor's brother, how can you let this king do justice to the late emperor and father?"
Thinking about how this woman obstructed her outside the palace just now, Lin Jinke was also very dissatisfied and started to attack her.
"Brother Wang, I'm afraid the ulterior motives are not in the bar?"
Chu Nanzhi glanced coldly at Lin Jinke and the Queen Mother.
Lin Jinke pretended to be indifferent and defended: "What do you say, this king is naturally thinking about the safety of the emperor, the ancestors and the queen mother, so I want to go out of the city to ask for help."
"enough."
Yin Enci couldn't see the careful thinking of the mother and son, glanced at the mother and son angrily, and said loudly: "Do you think the palace is not chaotic enough?"
Lin Jinke was most afraid of this old woman, and after being reprimanded, she immediately shut up, and could only secretly look at Tian Yuchan.
"The ancestors calm down."
Tian Yuchan put on a smile: "My daughter-in-law just thinks that Princess Pingning should not hide it from everyone, but she saved everyone from danger today, and I am grateful to her in my heart."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Nanzhi with a deliberate smile, and continued: "A few days ago, this child Rui Yin bumped into Ruixi, the second child of Jinxiao's family. I hereby apologize to my niece and daughter-in-law."
"The Empress Dowager speaks too seriously."
Looking at her hypocritical face, Chu Nanzhi smiled warmly: "It's all children's jokes, but people with ulterior motives almost took advantage of it. Fortunately, there is no danger. I have to thank the Queen Mother magnanimity."
"Where, where."
Tian Yuchan also waved her hands politely: "As an elder, I can still distinguish right from wrong and good from evil."
Yin Enci didn't have time to listen to this woman's pretentiousness at this time, and walked straight to Yang Runchen, staring at him with deep eyes, and at this moment, the hatred in her heart finally broke out without any concealment:
"Speak, Yang Situ, tell me everything about your persecution of the former prince and the plot to assassinate the old King Qinghe."
Before, she just felt that Yang Runchen was inseparable from the events of the year, but the death of the old Ting Wei Zhang Lu and today's mutiny gave her a complete epiphany. It turned out that the person behind the series of tragedies was this old fox.
"The matter has come to this point, why does the ancestor need to ask again, the old minister is ashamed of the former prince, and today he is willing to die to apologize."
As he said that, Yang Runchen changed the subject: "It's just that the old ancestor shouldn't have lured him to invite Lin Tingxian to go east when His Majesty was in a state of turmoil, which caused the clan blood in Jingling City to be squeezed and suppressed. How could the old ancestor be right?" Living in the heroic spirit of the late emperor, the old official punished and killed Lin Tingxian in order to restore the orthodoxy of the royal family."
"What, it was you who killed Emperor Ting An?"
Lin Tingkai was shocked.
Although he coveted the high position, he had always admired the late prince in his heart. He never thought that the culprit who killed the late prince would be his confidant adviser.
