After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 53 Palace Change

After a while, people suddenly came outside Jingshou Palace.

A guard dressed as a school captain hurried in from outside the palace. Luo Zichang obviously knew him, and when he saw him from a distance, he went to the palace gate to greet him.

The captain looked anxiously and whispered a few words into Luo Zichang's ear. Luo Zichang's face suddenly changed. He gave a brief order to General Wuwei, the right Yamen guard beside him, and quickly followed the captain, without even looking back at Ye Qing.

Take a look.

Ye Qinghuai saw this scene from the window of the mansion.

Luo Zichang abandoned her and left in a hurry, either because there was trouble at Li Baoquan's place or because the situation outside Chengtian Gate became tense.

After Luo Zichang left, General Wu Wei also came out of the courtyard and deployed the manpower of the right yamen guard outside the door.

While no one was watching, Ye Qinghuai stood up quietly and took down the Long Yuan Sword from the wall.

The sword was heavy and long, and it was difficult for her to carry it with one hand. Hanging it on her waist would cause her to stumble.

Ye Qinghuai took off the sword sheath with a leather belt from the shelf on one side and put it on the scabbard. This sword sheath matched the Long Yuan Sword. You could put the leather belt through your shoulders and carry the sword on your back.

There was a slight heat coming from the hilt of Longyuan Sword.

Holding the sword again, Ye Qing had mixed feelings.

It was the edge of this sword that cut her throat in the previous life.

This is indeed no ordinary weapon. Ye Qinghuai still clearly remembers that the last time she held this sword, she felt a stream of heat flowing from the hilt into her palm and into her heart.

It made the blood all over her body boil.

At the moment when Ye Qinghuai was hesitating, there was suddenly a faint sound of fighting not far from the palace gate.

"Zuo Yawei has rebelled! Li Baoquan has rebelled!" someone outside the palace shouted.

His voice caused the left and right government guards who were confronting each other outside Jingshou Palace to pull out their swords.

"The army in front of the palace is listening to the order. The left Yamen guard intends to rebel, so kill him on the spot!" General Wuwei pulled out his long sword and shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a massacre outside Jingshou Palace.

The situation was about to break out. Ye Qinghuai put the holster of the Long Yuan Sword on his body, tightened the belt, and stepped out of the main hall door with the sword on his back.

There were sounds of killing outside the palace, but there was no one left in Jingshou Palace.

Ye Qinghuai stepped out of the gilded threshold of Jingshou Palace.

A bloody smell hit his nostrils.

The wide palace road outside Jingshou Palace was full of fighting guards. The troops in front of the right Yamen Guards came well prepared, all wearing soft armor, but the guards of the Left Yamen Guards only wore the green narrow robes they wore on duty.

Sleeve guard robes are not the same in terms of armament, and the situation is almost one-sided.

Not only did the left and right government guards outside Jingshou Palace take action, but there seemed to be other Imperial Guards exchanging fire in the distance. Because they were far away, Ye Qinghuai could not clearly see the situation in the distance.

But she knew that the Left Yamen Guards outside Jingshou Palace could not withstand it for much longer. And once the Left Yamen Guards were defeated, then she, the emperor, would most likely be controlled by the Right Yamen Guards. By then,

Luo Zichang had many ways to accuse Li Baoquan's left Yamen guard of treason.

So not only could she not save the officials petitioning outside the palace today, but she would even have to pay for the imperial army in the palace, which was the only one loyal to her.

At that time, she will really be like a bird with broken wings, imprisoned in this deep palace built with red walls for the rest of her life, and become a puppet manipulated at will by powerful ministers.

A stubborn cold light flashed in Ye Qinghuai's eyes.

She would never allow such a thing to happen.

She will never give in.

In this life, she will never be a caged bird for others to enjoy.

Even if there are violent storms outside the cage, and there are open and covert attacks, she will still break out of this cozy cage made of fairy tales and lies.

She is fearless and unwilling to look back, just to see the real and cruel vast world outside the cage.

Even if thunderstorms knock down her feathers, let rain disrupt her sight, let wind and frost erode her bones, she will never bow her head.

This is the family motto of the Ye family, this is the character of the Ye family, and this is the spirit passed down from generation to generation through the blood of the Ye family.

It is better to break than to bend, and it is better to die than to yield.

Ye Qinghuai raised his hand and held the Long Yuan Sword on his back. The handle of the sword seemed to be even hotter, so hot that Ye Qinghuai's body started to burn.

For a moment, Ye Qinghuai felt that Long Yuanjian seemed to have woken up.

She pressed the scabbard hard, and then pulled the long sword out of the sheath with another force.

The sword made a low sword cry, like a dragon's roar, resounding throughout the palace.

The guards who were fighting were startled by the roar of the dragon and couldn't help but look at Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai raised the sword with both hands and pointed it straight at the sky. Her expression was stern, but her eyes seemed to be burning. Ye Yunhan, the ancestor of the Ye family, seemed to have awakened in this sword. Spanning two hundred years and seven generations, the Ye family was the greatest

The emperor regained consciousness in Ye Qinghuai's bloodline.

This made her feel excited and filled her whole body with strength and confidence.

The next moment, Ye Qinghuai rushed into the fighting crowd with a sword, and pierced the body of a right-hand yamen guard with one sword. The soft armor was as brittle as a piece of paper in front of the Long Yuan sword, making it useless.

Ye Qinghuai withdrew her hand cleanly, and the man fell at her feet. Her hand was stained with warm blood, carrying a pungent smell.

"Generals of the Youyamen Guards, immediately put down your swords and guns. I will pardon you and others. Otherwise, those who committed trouble will be just like this person!" Ye Qinghuai shouted.

The battle was stagnant for a moment, and then General Wuwei, who was not far away, looked at Ye Qinghuai with a look of death, and he said loudly: "No one in the right yamen guard of the Forbidden Army is greedy for life or afraid of death!"

After saying this, he swung his sword and slashed at the enemies around him.

This sword caused the men and horses on both sides to fight again.

Ye Qinghuai frowned and subconsciously clenched the sword in his hand.

This is her first time killing someone.

She doesn't want to kill anyone.

Even though she knew that these were enemies and had to be killed, she was unwilling to kill them.

Because in her eyes, they are not only her enemies at the moment, but also Dajing's soldiers. Every time one of the guards here dies, Dajing feels like a drop of blood is lost. Every time Dajing loses a drop of blood, Ye Qinghuai will feel heartbroken.

They should have used their knowledge to serve Da Jing, but because of her incompetence as an emperor and the chaos of the imperial court, they died here, meaninglessly.

Ye Qinghuai didn't want to see such bloodshed.

So she tried hard to solve these problems in a peaceful way.

But with little success.

Ye Qinghuai held the Long Yuan Sword tightly with both hands and rushed out without looking back. She raised the sword and slashed without any hesitation.

This is imperial power. Imperial power means bloodshed. There is no right that does not require bloodshed. If you don't kill people, you can't establish authority, and if you don't establish authority, you can't deter your subjects. Ye Qinghuai said to herself in her heart.

There is a prosperous age of He Qing and Haiyan in her heart. For the ideal of this prosperous age, these people in front of her have to die.

One day, she will comfort the souls of today with a peaceful world.

Ye Qinghuai swore silently in his heart.

She didn't know how many people she killed or injured. She fought side by side with Zuo Yamen, like a member of the forbidden army, fighting all the way to the palace gate.

After more than half a moment, Ye Qinghuai finally stopped to take a breath. She raised her head and saw the Xuanqing Gate between the front court and the harem right in front of her. Behind the Xuanqing Gate, the shining eaves of the Hall of Supreme Harmony were in front of her.

There was a solemn light under the noon sun.
