Sheng Minglan brought fish soup and some food to visit Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai. Her father and brother's colleagues admired Sheng Minglan's craftsmanship very much. Sheng Minglan also joked that Wang Ruofu and Hai Chaoyun missed them very much.Sheng Hong asked his father-in-law to send Sheng Minglan out of the palace for a while, but his father-in-law said that the palace gate was closed now, which was unprecedented, and everyone was very confused.Concubine Rong called many family members of noble families into the palace, but Princess Pingning saw that none of the families she was usually friendly with came.At this time, the father-in-law came to report to Concubine Rong in a panic, saying that someone had died outside.Concubine Rong was very calm and asked people to close the door and not move around at will.The princess noticed something strange, so Concubine Rong dealt with the eunuch. At this moment, everyone also realized that Concubine Rong was cooperating inside and outside. She didn't want these people to go back today.Everyone's expressions changed, and Concubine Rong walked towards the princess. She remembered her hatred and her sister who died because of Qi Heng.
Gu Tingye and his party were approaching Bianjing and slowed down.The princess was taken to another place. It turned out that Concubine Rong colluded with King Yan to avenge King Yong's family for killing Rong Feiyan.King Yong became angry and started fighting with him. The princess was so frightened that she fell to the ground.The rebels were pressing the palace, and the emperor had no way out. The father-in-law quickly came to tell Sheng Hong and others that blood was flowing in the palace now, and the traitors even took the maids to a remote place to do their dirty work.Sheng Changbai quickly protected Sheng Minglan behind him. Now they also had no way out. Sheng Minglan remembered that her father-in-law mentioned that there was a dog hole in the courtyard, and everyone decided to leave from there, but the dog hole could only accommodate petite people.Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai quickly sent Sheng Minglan out, hoping that one by one they could escape.Prince Yong and his wife were killed, and Concubine Rong looked at the princess. The princess laughed quickly, as if she was crazy.Concubine Rong was speechless and asked people to throw the princess into the street, leaving her to be yelled at and scolded.
Sheng Minglan dressed up as her father-in-law and was taken to a dog cave where weeds grew. The father-in-law didn't want to go with her, so Sheng Minglan had to crawl out and escape.The emperor was furious, thinking of Zhao Zongquan of Yuzhou, and immediately wrote a bloody edict to make Zhao Zongquan the prince.The emperor took out the military talisman, but now no one came out to report the news.The queen was saddened that there was no loyal person in the huge imperial city.At this time, a thirteen-year-old palace maid stood up and was willing to go out of the palace to deliver the message. Because the emperor was always generous and never forgot to repay his kindness, the queen hurriedly entrusted her with the blood edict and military talismans.The traitor entered the inner palace and took the queen away first, causing the imperial city to boil with mourning.Sheng Minglan was very panicked when she heard the noise, and met the palace maid in the dog cave, and the two simply escaped from the palace together.The traitor learned that a palace maid had left the palace to report the news, and quickly sent people to chase her.
The palace maid wants to go to Yuzhou, so Sheng Minglan will take her home and take her out of the city with a carriage and horse.The two lost their way, were discovered by the pursuing officers and soldiers, and fled in all directions.Sheng Minglan and the palace maid fled into the restaurant. The palace maid had lost too much blood, so she entrusted the blood edict and military talismans to Sheng Minglan and asked her to find Zhao Zongquan to rescue her.Sheng Minglan had no choice but to watch her die, and then was forced by the pursuers to jump down from the building, landing on a carriage.Sheng Minglan drove a carriage out of the city in a panic, and was pursued by soldiers who forced her to the outskirts of Beijing.
Sheng Minglan's carriage did not run as fast as the pursuer's horse, and she was soon overtaken. The rebels looked at her with lewd expressions. Sheng Minglan was so frightened that she had to shout for help, and forced the pursuer out of the eyes.Blood was drawn out.The pursuer wanted to kill Sheng Minglan, but suddenly an arrow killed him, and Sheng Minglan panicked and ran away again.Gu Tingye happened to appear nearby, and Shitou took care of the officers and soldiers, and then went after Sheng Minglan.Sheng Minglan panicked like a rabbit. When she saw Gu Tingye, she burst into tears and begged him to take her to Yuzhou.Gu Tingye pointed to the slope, where Zhao Zongquan was.
Zhao Ceying and Gu Tingye hurriedly invited the crown prince. Zhao Zongquan was very panicked. He felt that if he reluctantly ascended the throne, there would be disaster in the future. He did not want brothers to kill each other and only wanted to live a safe life.Gu Tingye quickly tried to persuade him, saying that King Yan already knew the contents of the edict and would definitely not let Zhao Zongquan return to Yuzhou safely.
