Chapter 386: The Duke of Zhenguo Enters the Yangxin Palace
Sun Changzai came to the main hall to talk to Shen Zhinian. When she heard the noise outside, she couldn't help but pat her chest and said, "Fortunately, our Zhongcui Palace is surrounded by guards like an iron barrel, otherwise I would be scared to death..."
When she first heard about His Majesty's decree, Sun Changzai, like everyone else in the harem, was extremely surprised. She didn't understand why His Majesty, who loved Concubine Rou so much, would suddenly become furious.
She rushed over as soon as possible and saw that Sister Roupin looked normal. She told her not to think too much and just stay in Zhongcui Palace.
Sun Chang's uneasy mood was finally calmed down.
She was an old lady around His Majesty, and she knew that the most important thing to survive in the palace was not to ask questions that should not be asked. So she suppressed all her doubts in her heart.
By now, Sun Changzai finally had a vague guess -
Judging from the situation, His Majesty should not be punishing Sister Roupin, but protecting her.
She couldn't help but feel lucky that she lived with her sister Roupin. Otherwise, who would take care of a lowly concubine when the rebels invaded? She didn't know if she could save her life...
Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting outside!
The leader of the rebels was already blood-thirsty, he raised his sword and said excitedly: "Roupin is pregnant with the heir, killing her will be a great achievement! Everyone charge!!!"
"kill!!!"
A group of mighty Dragon Armor soldiers, exuding a strong aura, drew their weapons at their waists expressionlessly and engaged in battle with the enemy!
Main hall.
Although the sound of weapons clashing could be heard before, it was not so obvious.
It was obvious that someone was fighting in front of the gate of Zhongcui Palace!
Sun Changzai didn't know that the people guarding Zhongcui Palace were the Dragon Armor Army, and she thought they were just ordinary guards. She didn't know if those guards could resist the rebels...
"Sister Roupin..."
Sun Changzai was so scared that her face turned pale, but thinking of Shen Zhinian who was still pregnant, she forced a smile and comforted her: "Don't worry, the guards in the palace are not good-for-nothings, those rebels will not be able to get in!"
Shen Zhinian looked down.
It would have been more believable if Sun Chang's hand, which was holding her clothes, had not been shaking so much when he said this.
"Well, don't worry, they can't get in."
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the sounds of fighting at the door finally stopped.
A dragon-armored soldier dressed as a guard hurried in from outside: "Your subordinate greets Concubine Rou!"
"Your Highness, the rebels outside the Zhongcui Palace have been completely wiped out. Your Highness, please do not worry."
Shen Zhinian was not surprised by this result at all: "I see, you have worked hard."
"Your Majesty, your words are too kind. I don't deserve them."
"I will not disturb you here, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."
After the dragon-armored soldier left the inner room, Sun Changzai finally let go of her worries. She patted her chest with a look of fear and said, "I was worried before that the guards could not protect the Zhongcui Palace. After seeing the guard just now, I suddenly felt relieved."
"That momentum... no ordinary rebel army can be a match for it."
"When did the palace guards become so majestic?"
Handan lowered her head and laughed.
That's His Majesty's Dragon Armor Army, how can they be the same as ordinary guards?
Shen Zhinian looked at Fuqiu and said, "Go get me my exquisite chess set."
Fuqiu bowed and said, "Yes."
Sun Changzai was much more casual when she was with Shen Zhinian now: "Sister Roupin, there are rebels everywhere outside, and the final outcome is still unknown. In this situation, are you still in the mood to play chess?"
She didn't pace back and forth in the room in a hurry, which was already very good. Sister Roupin's heart was too strong!
Shen Zhinian looked at her: "Is it useful in an emergency?"
"Besides, we should trust Your Majesty that we will be able to defeat the rebels."
Although there are always unexpected events, Shen Zhinian still has great confidence in Nangong Xuanyu.
Because if he was not absolutely sure, how could he let Gu Jinxiao and others impeach the Duke of Zhenguo and force him to fight a desperate battle so as to wipe out the Duke of Zhenguo's cronies in the imperial guards.
Handan and Fuqiu have already set up the chessboard.
Sun Changzai smiled embarrassedly: "Sister, I don't know how to play chess..."
Compared with the charming beauties in the harem, her appearance can only be considered pretty, but among ordinary people, she is still very outstanding.
So when she was sold to the palace, she did not become a maid, but was assigned to learn to play the pipa with other pretty girls.
Over the years, no one has taught her anything except playing the pipa...
Shen Zhinian said gently: "It's okay, I'll teach you."
"When faced with a big event, the first thing to do is to calm your mind. Only when your mind is calm can you make the most calm and beneficial choice."
"Otherwise, you will panic and become confused, one wrong step will lead to more mistakes."
Sun Changzai took a deep breath and nodded: "...Okay."
Shen Zhinian said this not only to Sun Changzai, but also to himself.
She has been thinking...how to get the most benefit from the rebels!
Although Nangong Xuanyu is deeply in love with her now, no one knows how long this passionate feeling can last.
In the next beauty pageant, countless beauties as beautiful as flowers will enter the palace, and there is no guarantee that his heart will not be divided away.
If the two of them had experienced life and death together, in his eyes, she was a woman who could sacrifice her life for him. Then... her position in his heart would never be the same.
Just like Concubine Liang, no matter whether Nangong Xuanyu loved her or not, he would always remember that she was the daughter of his mentor. Based on this relationship, he treated her favorably in every way, and even if she made a big mistake, he never lowered her status.
Even if Concubine Liang committed a capital crime one day, Nangong Xuanyu would probably not easily sentence her to death for the sake of his mentor.
In fact, sometimes, such a relationship is much more reliable than illusory love.
Shen Zhinian dropped a black dot and gently touched her bulging belly with her other hand.
Of course, the premise is to ensure the safety of yourself and your children.
She would not risk herself or her child for Nangong Xuanyu.
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The Duke of Zhenguo led the rebels and rushed in, with blood still dripping from the tip of his knife!
The palace servants were so frightened that they fled in all directions, trembling in fear!
The leaders of the Guard Camp were all instigated by the Duke of Zhenguo to rebel. The entire palace was already under his control!
Several guards stood in front of Nangong Xuanyu, but considering the number of people, there was no chance of winning...
Li Changde even threw away his whisk and opened his arms to protect Nangong Xuanyu: "Protect the emperor! Come quickly! Protect the emperor!"
The Duke of Zhenguo sneered: "The situation has been decided, Your Majesty, I advise you not to put up any more futile resistance! Otherwise... the sword in my hand has no eyes!"
