Chapter 630 Final Showdown!

Xue Baiyi and Yaoyue have known each other for many years, and they have long known what kind of temperament she is. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is cold and arrogant, and she naturally understands that the other party will not be a husband with her.

And her move was just to stimulate the other party.

After all, her 'ex-husband' Ji Wenhao has always been begging for Yao Yue, but he has never been favored by him. She has always been quite sad and angry about this.

After all, the emperor did not love the queen, but fell in love with a Taoist nun. For a woman, it was definitely a big shame. And she had always had trouble with the other party, but she was ignored by the other party.

The two sides definitely dislike each other.

At the moment, she is committed to Jiang Che, but the other party is also committed to Jiang Che.

She will naturally compete for favor subconsciously.

Faced with Queen Xue's provocation, Yao Yue simply ignored her, her eyes fixed on Jiang Che, and she turned and left without saying a word, leaving Jiang Che's territory.

In response to this, Jiang Che frowned and glanced at Queen Xue with some displeasure. It wouldn't hurt to have a fight in private, but is it possible to let off steam in the capital?

Seeing the look on Jiang Che's face, Queen Xue suddenly felt a little uneasy and said quickly:

"I. I am wrong."

"Let's go back first."

Without saying anything, Jiang Che took Queen Xue straight back to the Prince's Mansion, severely punished Queen Xue for making her own decision, and in the process, sent a message to Yao Yue to explain.

But there was no response at all from Yao Yue.

In the end, Jiang Che had no choice but to give up.

If a woman is angry and he is in a good mood, he will coax her. However, this is the capital, and he is about to take action, so he will not be able to spare any time to coax her.

He believed that Yao Yue was not that stingy, but just a little arrogant.

In this way, another few days passed.

These days.

Regarding the blood sacrifice of Emperor Yuankang Ji Wenhao, under his arrangement, the uproar resounded throughout the Central Plains, causing a great sensation, and countless people were denouncing Ji Wenhao.

But within the capital, due to the high pressure of the Xiuyi Guards and the Black Yamen, few people dared to blatantly slander him.

at the same time.

In order to better take over Zhongzhou, he ordered the Scarlet Blood True Monarch and Qi Yuan to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people and put on a posture ready for war at any time.

This caused the court to be in turmoil, with soldiers and horses constantly dispatched back and forth in the capital. What made Jiang Che a little funny was that many officials in the court did not resist him as an anti-king as expected.

on the contrary.

He also vaguely sensed that these officials were even ready to welcome the new dynasty.

There are also many gossips that are circulated privately in the capital.

For example, the ruler from the south is about to overthrow the tyranny of the imperial court and bring peace to the world.

This made him, a rebel, sigh a lot.

Sure enough, as the saying goes.

When one's strength reaches a level that is terrifying, what one receives is never resistance and abuse, but wholehearted welcome and heartfelt surrender.

After entering Beijing, officials and scholars began to debate scriptures for him.

Likewise, in these few days.

The news from Feng Wuji finally arrived.

And brought him good news.

The Confucian sage in Shenghai City was completely unprepared to interfere in the affairs of the world, and just asked Feng Wuji to pass on a message to him.

Peace the world as soon as possible and treat the people well.

Jiang Che was naturally happy about this.

After all, the Confucian sage's strength, after being boasted by Feng Wuji, had already made Jiang Che extremely fearful. If this person helped the court, it would be extremely inconvenient for his subsequent plans.

There may even be many variables.

Therefore, this news is reassuring to him.

Although he also knows that the thousand-year-old Ji family and the six-hundred-year-old dynasty will definitely have some background, but for him now, it is not impossible to compete. After all, with the sacrifice of the monument, at least half of the national destiny of this dynasty will be ruined. .

Greatly weakening the power of the imperial court.

He even had a very bold idea.

And after he learned that some of the remaining royal family members surnamed Ji in the capital were no longer called to the palace, he knew that his chance was almost coming. For this, after waiting for a few days.

Jiang Che then discussed with Queen Xue and decided to enter the palace tonight and get the Youhuang Mingmu.

At the same time, it’s time to take action.

If the protection of the capital city is already extraordinary, then the palace within the imperial city can be regarded as a forbidden area for outsiders, and it is filled with various magic circles.

Any changes are monitored at all times, and there are many strong men secretly guarding them.

For example, although he sneaked into the imperial city last time, he did not go deep into the palace because he sensed many formations. Therefore, here, he could only enter with his true body.

If it is covered by a domain, it will inevitably trigger a large protective formation, which will make people even more suspicious.

to this end.

This time, Jiang Che pretended to be the Queen's bodyguard and was going to accompany the Queen to deliver some royal meals to Emperor Ji Wenhao. Of course, this was only in name.

In fact, both he and Xue Baichi knew that Ji Wenhao could not be in the imperial study room now, but was hiding somewhere in the palace. This was just an excuse.

Jiang Che was not an acquaintance in the palace, but just in case, he still concealed his appearance, as long as the Martial Saint did not come within fifty feet of him.

It's very difficult to detect something strange about him.

He had even verified this on Xue Pingzu.

It's getting dark.

Xue Baichi, who returned to the palace early, put on a long palace dress with a solemn look on her face.

Although she had planned several possibilities with Jiang Che, and Jiang Che was by her side and could keep her safe at any time, she still felt nervous from the bottom of her heart.

After all, what she did was too bold.

The imperial study has always been a forbidden area for the emperor. She knew very well that as long as she entered, Ji Wenhao would definitely learn the news in the shortest possible time, and she would not be able to explain it at all.

We can only have a complete showdown!

Even though she was well prepared, when this moment actually came, she still couldn't feel at ease. Of course, while she was nervous, she also felt an inexplicable excitement.

It's like dancing on a cliff.

"Mother, the health soup is ready. It's time to go."

Jiang Che walked into the palace without any scruples, put his arms around Queen Xue's plump waist and hips, and kissed her beautiful face.

"Let's go."

Xue Baichi exhaled a breath and turned to Jiang Che with very firm eyes.

soon.

The queen's carriage was then unfolded, and several maids cleared the way. Queen Xue was in the middle, and Jiang Che followed beside him holding a standard long knife. There were two palace maids beside him, carrying the boiled health soup.

Along the way, I did not encounter any questioning, and all the guards I met saluted respectfully.

Although Xue Bai'an was not favored, this was not an exception. In fact, none of the concubines in the entire harem were favored by Ji Wenhao. They were more like a decoration to maintain the emperor's majesty.

Compared with other concubines, Xue Baiyi is at least still a queen, and she has the support of her relatives, the Xue family. Ordinary guards and even officials dare not look down upon her in the slightest.

As she got closer to the imperial study, Xue Baichi's nervous mood calmed down.

Now that the Xue family has reached an agreement with Jiang Che, and Ji Changsheng is far away in Yuezhou, she has nothing to fear. She believes that Jiang Che will protect her no matter what danger she encounters.

soon.

When everyone arrived in front of the Imperial Study Room, they were hindered by guards for the first time.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is not in the imperial study."

The guard with the sword bowed.

"I still need you to remind me?" Xue Baiyi frowned and reprimanded, and then said: "Your Majesty has not been in court for nearly half a month. I am worried and came here to visit your Majesty.

And I have prepared a health soup. You can go and tell His Majesty later that I am waiting for him to come back in the Imperial Study Room. "

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has an edict. No one is allowed to approach the Imperial Study without His Majesty's gold medal." The guard wearing golden armor and carrying a sword was calm and intimidating, with the aura of the divine realm lingering around him.

He directly stretched out his hand to stop everyone.

The imperial study room was an important place in the palace and contained countless secrets of the imperial court. He did not dare to make any mistakes.

"How presumptuous. I want to enter the imperial study, and I need you to give me permission? Get out of here."

Xue Bai's eyes were full of evil, and her face was full of majesty.

The surrounding atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant.

But the commander of the golden-armored guards still showed no fear. He stared at Xue Bai'an and the palace maids and guards behind her with burning eyes, obviously prepared to be punished.

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes and was ready to take action immediately. The imperial study room was right in front of him. With his speed, he could easily break in. Of course, the premise was that the Youhuang Mingmu inside was still there.

But at this moment, a familiar figure slowly approached:

"No noise is allowed in the important place of the palace."

The visitor was none other than Ji Wenhao's personal eunuch and Jiang Che's old acquaintance, Li Chengzhong. At this time, he was wearing a red official robe, standing with his hands behind his back, showing an extraordinary bearing.

"Why, I don't allow it too?"

Xue Baichi looked at Li Chengzhong coldly.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm not talking about you." Li Chengzhong approached and bowed, then looked at the golden-armored commander beside him:

"Commander Wang, what's going on?"

"Eunuch Li, empress."

The commander on the side quickly explained.

Li Chengzhong nodded slightly, and then explained:

"Empress, Your Majesty is currently practicing in seclusion and is indeed not in the Imperial Study Room. Look."

"Then where is Your Majesty? I just have something to go to see Your Majesty."

Xue Baichi asked calmly.

Before taking action, she and Jiang Che had already considered various possibilities, and naturally expected the current situation, knowing that it was almost impossible to see Ji Wenhao now.

"Your Majesty, it is temporarily inconvenient to see outsiders."

Li Chengzhong hesitated for a moment and persuaded tactfully.

"Why, I am an outsider? Li Chengzhong, don't forget who you are. Today I am living in the imperial study. If Your Majesty does not come, I will not leave.

Whoever dares to stop me, please watch your head! "

Queen Xue, who plays her true character, looks domineering at the moment, which makes Li Chengzhong feel troubled. After all, Queen Xue is not an ordinary person, but the current empress.

Although she is not much favored by the emperor, she is still the legitimate mother of a country. Now she has Xue Pingzu's support behind her, so she cannot be offended easily.

"Your Majesty, think twice."

Li Chengzhong frowned.

At the same time, some doubts arose in my heart. The empress was not like this in the past. Why was she suddenly so tough and wanted to break into the imperial study?

Such behavior made him unable to help but feel suspicious.

"Get away!"

Empress Xue waved her long sleeves and rushed in directly.

As a servant of the emperor, Li Chengzhong naturally did not dare to stand in front of the empress, otherwise he would really die if there was any physical contact.

He quickly retreated to the side.

The golden armor commander felt very difficult to face Xue Bai'er's unscrupulous rush, and did not dare to draw his sword to stop her. He could only retreat step by step, while Empress Xue and her group pressed forward step by step.

"Forget it, let's get out of the way."

Seeing that several people were about to break into the imperial study, Li Chengzhong quickly waved his hand to signal the golden armor commander to get out of the way. With Li Chengzhong's order, the golden armor commander finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly retreated to the side.

Standing in front of the imperial study, Empress Xue glanced at the maid and the disguised Jiang Che and said:

"You two, follow me in."

Jiang Che nodded immediately, bowed and pushed open the imperial study and walked in. Then Xue Bai'e turned around and looked at Li Chengzhong and said:

"If your majesty doesn't come, I will stay here all the time!"

It was difficult to secretly take away Youhuang Mingmu. As soon as she left, eunuchs would go to the imperial study to investigate. She was ready for a showdown and had no fear at this moment.

After the voice fell, she immediately closed the door of the imperial study.

Looking at this scene, the golden armor commander looked at Li Chengzhong with difficulty:

"Eunuch Li, this..."

Li Chengzhong raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and his face changed a little. The queen's various expressions made him feel a lot of doubts in his heart.

After all, she was not like this before.

She would never trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the palace.

What happened today?

Seeing that something was not right, Li Chengzhong immediately ordered the commander of the golden armor:

"Commander Wang, keep an eye on this place. This governor will immediately report to His Majesty. Before this governor returns, the queen is not allowed to take people away from here privately. Do you understand?"

"Eunuch Li, please go. This place is left to Wang!"

The commander of the golden armor nodded solemnly, and then took the lead to stand outside the imperial study to guard. At the same time, he immediately mobilized a group of guards around to be alert.

After seeing that everything was ready, Li Chengzhong did not hesitate and quickly went to the Taihe Palace. To punish Queen Xue, the emperor had to come in person. The most taboo thing for a servant like him was disrespect to the master.

And at this moment.

In the imperial study.

After Queen Xue closed the door, Jiang Che casually hit the palace maid on the forehead and knocked her out temporarily. He took the health soup and put it aside, and began to scan the imperial study.
