Chapter 180: Chang'an City Beacon Fire Cold (I)
"It seems that they have been working hard for a few days." Li Ying said slowly with the candlelight in front of him. The candlelight swayed, making the light reflected on his face dark and bright, making his expression dark and scary at the moment.
"Sir, don't worry. The northern and southern armies are under the control of reliable people, and they are not people who will obey the forgery. General Wei's old subordinates have long been monitored by King Guangling of Qi, and there must be no big trouble." Huo Guang said. When he just talked about the actions of King Qi and others, he paused. The actions of these two princes were almost all under the control of the censor in front of him. If it was a coincidence, he would definitely not believe it. It can only be said that the important minister in front of him who had never been revealed and had no water, the energy controlled by him was far beyond his imagination.
"... And Jia'er, be sure to protect her. If possible, it would be best for her to find an excuse to leave the city." Li Xi instructed.
Huo Guang's expression became dark. Thinking of the conflict with Liu Jia a few days ago, he sighed and said, "She is afraid she will not. It just happened that Xian'er was seriously ill recently. I asked my sister-in-law to leave her in my house using this as a reason."
"That's good." Li Xi smiled slightly and said, "Let's just watch."
Seeing the door creaking and pushing open, Maltose asked with some concern: "Princess, go back to get the medicine tomorrow. It's so late, so don't worry about this."
Liu Jia shook her head and said, "No. Xian'er's illness is much worse than I expected. The illness comes like a mountain of falls, and it cannot be delayed."
"But, the young master said..."
"Xian'er is his only nephew. He is there. Where is there any reason to delay this? Okay. Please rest assured." Liu Jia patted Maltose's hand and said.
"Then, let me go back with you." Liu Xijun frowned.
"If you leave? Who will take care of Xian'er?" Liu Jia sighed helplessly and said, "Oh, I'm just going home. Is it necessary to be like facing a great enemy? Besides, isn't there any Riyan follower? What are you afraid of? I'll go back and come back soon. Don't worry." After that, she rode on her horse, waved her hand, and said, "See you later!"
When Huo Guang turned back from Li's mansion, he could not find Liu Jia, and his face changed drastically. He grabbed Malttang and asked, "Where has Jia'er been?"
"Master, the princess said that the young master's illness requires a few medicines, but there is no one in the mansion. She turned to the inner court to get it." Maltose was shocked by him. He said something was not smooth.
"Oh no!" Huo Guang shouted after hearing this. He headed straight to the stable, led his mount, and headed towards the door. As soon as his family opened the door for him, he was shocked to see that the fire was soaring into the sky in the direction of Chang'an City!
"That's where... the arsenal is!" Liu Xijun, who was following him, said tremblingly.
The flames burned in the sky. Half of the dark night sky was lit up. Huo Guang did not expect such a change, so he could only look at the bloody Chang'an City and shout in despair.
"Jia'er!"
Like the frightened palace maids and eunuchs, the sound of golden swords and halberds intersecting and near. The raging fires ignited in some palaces, this indifferent scene made the Weiyang Palace, which had been in peace for a hundred years, panic.
Liu Jia knew since she was a child that there was a Queen Wei living in the Jiaofang Hall. When she was in the palace, there were naturally very few people talking about her in the Zhaoyang Hall. But when she traveled to the people, everything about her father, mother, and Queen Wei was talked about by everyone. After hearing it for a long time, she gradually became disliked by the Jiaofang Hall, and even if she came back, she would take a detour. Speaking of which, this was the first time she had observed Wei Zifu's appearance so carefully. Wei Zifu was indeed a beauty, and even though her eyes were vicissitudes of her temples and her frosty temples could not hide her peerless charm.
"As soon as things have come to this point. Do you think your father would spare you if he is safe and sound?" Wei Zifu said lightly. "We mother and son... no, even the lives of all the people in the Wei clan are all just looking at this night, whether they can succeed!"
"Things. !" Liu Ju buried his head in pain and said in a muffled voice, "It's not that far. Even if Ji Zhen's affairs are really done, the father may not really attack us. Blood-related relatives, after all..."
"Ju'er!" Wei Zifu bent down, raised Liu Ji's head, looked at him flat, and said calmly. "Your father may let you go, but you will never let the Wei family go, and I will not let me go. If you are willing, you will lose the help of Wei's arm and entrust your future destiny to your father's mood to fluctuate. Then you can still ride out of the city and go to Ganquan Palace to claim crimes. In this way, your father will not punish you severely."
"Mother!" Liu Ju Youran sighed, unable to speak.
"You are a filial child. But filial piety cannot make you ascend the throne. You have the power of life and death. When you take action, you should take action, don't regret it later." Wei Zifu said. "Everything tonight is just that you must ascend the throne."
Liu Ju closed his eyes in pain and said, "I am afraid that the child will not escape. After a thousand years, Shi's pen is like a knife." After that, he broke away from Wei Zifu's hand and stumbled towards the outsider.
In the brightly lit hall, only Wei Zifu was left alone. She looked at her son's sad figure and knew that he had accepted the path he had chosen for him. Whether he was willing or not was no longer important.
"Historical pen is like a knife? Historical books are written by people. And the emperor has the final say in life and death. "Wei Zifu sighed and said.
At this time, Cui Yiyi walked into the hall with a small step. She came to Wei Zifu and reported softly: "Empress!"
"What's up?"
"Someone came to report that Princess Guangyu had returned in the evening."
When Liu Jia heard about her, she suddenly felt her heart in her throat.
Wei Zifu narrowed his eyes and said, "When the Prince's Mansion came, the palace gate was locked. So, she is still in the palace now?" Wei Zifu looked up at the fire that lit up half of the night sky, and the faint sound of fighting came from his ears. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "God's will is so. Yiyi, do you think so?"
"Yes, Empress."
"Let her come out and see people alive, die, and see corpses."
Wei Zifu's eyes like a poisonous snake made Liu Jia shudder in the secret passage. She slid along the wall softly and sat on the ground. Thinking of the chaos that would last for no time, and she didn't know if she could hide in the palace until the arrival of the reinforcements. Her heart was confused, and she no longer had the determination and strength she had when she was sent to Jin Il-jeong.
