The West Palace burned overnight, and in the middle of winter, gray "snow" fell in the imperial city.

The broom in the old woman's hand was hard to clean out the yard, and some ashes were hanging on her body.

"Who are you?"

“Where is this?”

Li Bohao and she spoke almost at the same time.

The white-haired palace maid smiled. She already knew that these people who came out of the dry well were not here to ask for the Queen Mother's life.

"This is the yard where Concubine Zhao lives."

"Concubine Zhao?" Li Bohao looked at him suspiciously. Under the emperor, there were four concubines: Gui, Shu, De and Xian, and the rest were not qualified to be concubines.

Like Concubine Wu, he is the most rank-in concubine under the queen.

Li Bohao stayed in the palace for half a year, and heard the royal affairs very thoroughly. He listened to the group of Yi's school lieutenant chatter all day long. Although Emperor Gengyuan of the Great Qi Dynasty had hundreds of people in the harem, there were only a few who were called concubines of the level. I have never heard of a concubine Zhao.

"Is this far from the West Palace?"

"This is the West Palace."

Li Bohao looked up and saw that it was indeed thick smoke rolling. The fire burned for a day and a night without stopping.

He whistled inside, and soon everyone crawled out, seeing the light again but not the sun again, because the thick smoke had already covered the sky.

After Li Lingfeng came out, she choked and coughed, "Where is this place?"

"Miss, this is Xigong. Don't go around for now. I'll go out to find out the situation."

“Okay.”

A group of people surrounded Li Lingfeng and entered the hall. Li Bohao took three guards out to investigate.

Before going out, he looked back and saw the old palace maid who was surprisingly calm and surprisingly still standing there, her eyes empty.

"What a strange person..."

When I went out of this deserted palace, there were frequent fighting sounds outside. When I walked past two long veranda and came behind a wall, I heard the sound of weapons colliding.

Li Bohao winked, and his guards supported him with his hands, allowing him to step on his palm to the wall.

Lying on the wall, I saw a large square behind the wall, and an extremely bloody offensive and defensive battle was being staged.

At the railing, the young generals among the guards were clearly Chen Shou.

Li Bohao looked at the familiar cavalry, and there were a few who could even call him a name, and beat the wall and said, "What a stupid imperial guard, he is fighting Chen Shou here!"

Except for the open space in front of you, the West Palace is a floor in five steps and one pavilion in the palace, facing each other, and pavilions are lined up, making it difficult for the cavalry in Xiliang to perform.

The imperial guards have the strongest crossbow arrows, which are not comparable to those of Xiliang's hard bows. They can completely fight between pavilions and streets.

"If the commander of this imperial guard is in Xiliang, he will have been killed by the old commander."

After Li Bohao came down, he said happily: "We can find Chen Shou by detouring from the left."

The number of imperial guards was too large. Although Cao Wu's command was a bullshit, there were still a steady stream of imperial guards coming.

This is completely filled with life, but Chen Shou had no choice. He had only these people in his hands. If he dragged on, he would be afraid that someone would come to the palace to serve the king.

However, there is no one of his own near the Gyeonggi, but it is very likely that the soldiers loyal to Wei Yunse will come first.

By then, no matter whether the prince ascended the throne or they supported Emperor Gengyuan, they would not have a good ending.

The only way to survive is to snatch the emperor, pacify this sudden palace change, and completely defeat the prince into a rebellion.

Chen Shou looked at the battle situation in front of him nervously. Outside the West Palace, I don’t know how many people there are. The imperial guards are like an inexhaustible source, with countless crowds gushing out, impacting their defense line.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Miao De leaning against the wall, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

Chen Shou took off his cloak and covered him. Miao De suddenly woke up, "Kill! Kill them all."

"Godfather, you go to the summer palace. It really doesn't work. You can escape to Xiliang."

Miao De laughed, "Brother Shou, what are you thinking? Suli's godfather sees you are very decisive, but why did you say depressed words at such a critical moment? Let's kill Wei Yunse first, then kill the prince, pull out the bird man behind him and wash away the anger that has been going on for years."

Chen Shou wanted to speak but stopped. At this time, Zhao Hong covered in blood and came up and shouted: "Sir, Commander Li is here."

"Commander Li, which Commander Li?"

"It's me!" Li Bohao strode over and punched Chen Shou in the shoulder: "Boy, I underestimate you, but I didn't expect you to make a big fuss."

Chen Shou had trouble saying that he was making trouble himself. This big scene was clearly caused by the prince's bastard.

This prince is like a divine turtle. He has endured his mother for more than ten years and has hit him. It’s really unlucky.

Now in a very dangerous situation. Even if you win by chance, if Emperor Gengyuan has a good or bad situation, it will be difficult for him to maintain his current status.

Chen Shou sighed in his heart. His plan was that after the Nine Transformations of the Golden Pill, the power gradually developed and could be equal to Wei Yunse, even overwhelming him.

At that time, he would be a new emperor and become a powerful minister. Now he is only the seventh one. How could he show off and take risks and force the palace to change?

Li Bohao saw his expression and smiled and said, "What's wrong, Brother Shou, this face is like an eggplant made from frost. Take out your spirit."

"Damn it, when is it time? I'm still talking sarcastic. I want to rush to kill the enemy, but unfortunately there is no use for birds. There are too many imperial guards."

"Why don't you invite reinforcements?" Li Bohao asked, "It's not really unprepared."

"My brother, this is really not something I have chosen. Speaking of which, it is the prince of your East Palace. I said you are so blind. Just under your nose, this coward has pretended to be so long, but you haven't noticed any clues?" Chen Shou cursed.

Li Bohao was also a little surprised. He followed Li Lingfeng and saw the prince. If he was pretending, that night looked too similar. He lowered his voice and said, "There are people behind the prince. He has raised many dead soldiers, and the eldest prince was killed by him. Otherwise, how could he last for so long?"

Chen Shou thought to himself that you know this, and you are so embarrassed to be serious, but he didn't intend to reveal all the affairs of Prince Fufeng's old subordinates that he knew.

Li Bohao patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, reinforcements should arrive soon."

"What reinforcements? Have you asked the old general for troops? But Xiliang is too far away, and the distance cannot relieve near-thirst."

Li Bohao smiled and said, "Did you forget? The second young master who suppressed the rebellion in Hedong withdrew from Jinyang seven days ago and returned to Xiliang from Jinyang. He wanted to take the ancient Yellow River Road. He calculated the distance according to the days and should be near Kaifeng Prefecture."

Chen Shou's eyes lit up, and it turned out that I had such a strong support.
