Investiture of the Gods.
The Xiliang faction in the imperial court denied it.
They only said that it was training the troops.
It was obvious that someone was making a mountain out of a molehill.
The Xiliang Army was naturally warlike, so it was understandable that they trained with each other.
Moreover, the people in the Xiliang Army had left their homeland to come to the Central Plains.
Some of them missed their homeland very much, so it was reasonable for them to go back and visit.
Xue Pinggui heard these words. He was expressionless as he sat on the throne in the imperial court. In the end, he gave a strict order that the Xiliang Army was not to make any moves without an imperial order. If they disobeyed the imperial order, it would be regarded as a rebellion.
Everything that happened in the imperial court, Si Yang was crystal clear.
Of course, she knew.
After all, she was the driving force behind the scenes.
She had a part in it.
Taking advantage of the fact that Xue Pinggui was focused on the Xiliang Army, Li Yi began to secretly mobilize his men.
When the previous emperor was still alive, he had trained a sizable army in his territory.
Originally, he was going to lead the army to quell the rebellion in the name of cleaning up the emperor's side.
Unfortunately, Xue Pinggui beat him to it.
The Xiliang Army led by Xue Pinggui came aggressively.
In addition, the imperial court was unstable.
Chaos broke out in many regions.
That was why he had the initiative.
For the sake of the overall situation, Li Yi,
A brave warrior, decisively broke up all the forces into pieces. He immediately bowed down to Xue Pinggui. He was a low-key Wangye to the outside world. Xue Pinggui could only find out so much.
After coming to Chang 'an, Li Yi did not give up on his great cause. He was Wangye of the previous dynasty, the authentic royal blood. Although there were many restrictions, from another perspective, he was like a fish in water.
After the change of dynasty, the direct descendants of the previous dynasty still existed. Xue Pinggui did not have time to make a move. This was his opportunity. Not all the old officials of the previous dynasty were willing to let the world be ruled by a person of humble origin.
The current situation was a good time to make a move secretly.
In the palace, Siyang was nursing the fetus while constantly paying attention to Tuozan.
"The Emperor has used this as an excuse to change the guards in the West Palace."
Stirring the chicken porridge in her hand with a spoon, Siyang nodded when she heard the news from Cui'er. She lowered her eyelids and was not surprised.. "There is a Xiliang Army in the palace..... how can Xue Pinggui be at ease?
Now, Xue Pinggui was already afraid of the Xiliang Army, or rather, Xue Pinggui himself. Many of the Xiliang soldiers in the court had already been attacked. What was left was to clean up the palace.
Now he felt that Tuozan was like a hot potato. He could not be too cruel to her. Otherwise, it would make the Xiliang Army even more restless. But he had to suppress her. Otherwise, he would not be at ease on the throne.
"What is Tuozan's reaction?" Siyang would not believe that Tuozan did not do anything at this point.
Cui'er's face darkened. She squatted in front of Siyang and straightened out the wrinkles on her clothes. "The people in the West Palace have found that they are in contact with the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital. Miss, we have to be careful."
"Yes." The spoon stirred the porridge until it was no longer hot. Siyang dipped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth.
"Miss, let me warm it up for you."
"No need." Siyang shook her head and refused Cui'er. She put down the spoon and threw the bowl on the ground under Cui'er's gaze.
Bang!
The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke in half. The sound was crisp and clear.
"Miss, what happened …" Before Cui'er could finish, she saw her miss frown and hold her belly that was already showing. She cried out to her in pain.
"Quick, quickly summon the imperial physician. Ben gong's stomach hurts …"
Cui'er was frightened. She supported Siyang and did not know what to do. "Miss, miss … don't scare me."
The palace maids waiting outside all moved when they heard the noise. Siyang glanced at them out of the corner of her eye. She patted Cui'er comfortingly and raised her eyebrows.
Cui'er paused when she received this look. Then her eyes lit up. She nodded slightly and immediately shouted, "Your Highness, don't be afraid. I will go find the imperial doctors for you."
Everyone knew that the Empress's pregnancy was very important. If she gave birth to a prince, he would be the Emperor's legitimate son and the most important.
Because of the Empress's cry, the Jade Earth Palace was in chaos. After Xue Pinggui received the news, he rushed to the back palace immediately after court.
"The Princess is a success."
In the West Palace, Aya reported to the person lying on the bed.
The person lying on the bed moved at first. Then she suddenly sat up and pushed the curtain aside.
Tuozan's beautiful face did not have its usual luster. It was more haggard and pale, but now it was full of joy. She stared at the maid Aya and asked anxiously, "Is what you said true? You succeeded? "
"Yes, the Jade Earth Palace is in chaos. You also know the effect of the medicine. Once touched, it is impossible to save."
Aya was very confident in her arrangements, "Your Highness can rest assured now. As long as the Empress has an abortion, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant again. As for the Emperor, it is even less important. He will not let the women in the back palace get pregnant again. In the future, he will only have one son, the First Prince. Even if he does not want to give the position of Crown Prince, it is not up to him."
"Good, good, good." After Tuozan heard this, she immediately clapped her hands and laughed. She laughed uncontrollably, "Let's see how they will bully this Princess …"
Peng!
With a loud bang, the door of the West Palace was kicked open, causing the master and servant in the hall to look in shock.
When they saw the person clearly, their expressions changed.
Xue Pinggui angrily strode in. After hearing what was said outside, he could no longer endure. The flames of anger spread from his heart, burning his eyes red and his face twisted.
"You, how did you …" Tuozan pointed at him, but couldn't finish her sentence.
"You want to ask why zhen is here, right?" Xue Pinggui sneered. He gritted his teeth and walked closer step by step, "Fortunately, zhen came. Otherwise, zhen would have missed your sinister and vicious methods."
"I didn't think that not only did you secretly harm the Empress and the child in her belly, you also made a move against zhen." Xue Pinggui had come to denounce Tuozan on behalf of Siyang. Unexpectedly, he learned something that made him even angrier.
What did she mean by he could not let the women in the back palace get pregnant, unless …
Thinking about it carefully, it really made him angry.
"Someone come, lock up this vicious woman for zhen." The furious Xue Pinggui didn't have any mercy for Tuozan.
"Let's see who dares to touch this princess." At this point, Tuozan calmed down. She waved aside the guards that came forward. She stuck out her chest and sneered at Xue Pinggui: "Xue Pinggui, think carefully. If you dare touch a hair on my head, my Xiliang army will immediately rebel. You haven't even sat on the throne yet, do you want to fall now?"
This kind of threat angered Xue Pinggui even more, especially the mockery on Tuozan's face. It made his eyes hurt and he thought of his sullen past in Xiliang.
Two steps forward, Xue Pinggui fiercely grabbed Tuozan's chin. Aya who wanted to go over was pressed to the ground.
Tuozan struggled a few times, but she wasn't Xue Pinggui's opponent and was firmly restrained.
"You're threatening zhen." Xue Pinggui was so angry that he laughed. Looking at the face in front of him, Xue Pinggui no longer had the tender affection he had in the past. It had completely turned into disgust. He felt really uncomfortable just by looking at it. With a forceful swing of his hand, he threw the tortoise to the ground.
Xue Pinggui looked down at her with a dark expression: "Don't worry, zhen will have the Xiliang Army that you rely on go see your father. Otherwise, zhen will let down their loyalty to your imperial family."
"You, Xue Pinggui, what do you want to do?" Tuozan's heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling.
"Zhen will not force people who can't be used." With a cold snort, Xue Pinggui raised the corners of his lips. It was cold and cruel.
Looking at him with wide eyes, Tuozan suddenly understood. The person in front of her was no longer her lowly prince consort. When he ascended the throne, he was the emperor of a dynasty.
"Tuozan has been locked up?" Siyang asked.
"Young miss, don't worry about that for now. The imperial physician said that your fetus is unstable." Cui 'er who was holding a bowl of medicine was very worried.
"Silly girl." Shaking her head with a smile, she lowered her head and carefully rubbed her stomach. Siyang said: "I'm just doing it for them to see."
"You really scared this servant." Cui Er wanted to continue speaking, but she stopped herself in the middle of the sentence.
Seeing that Cui 'er suddenly stopped talking, Siyang opened her mouth to ask. However, when she looked up, she saw another cold face. Cui' er was nowhere to be seen.
This girl.
Cursing Cui 'er in her heart, Siyang's lips curved and her brows relaxed: "Why are you here? The Xiliang Army is in an emergency right now."
"If I didn't come, would you hide what happened in the palace from me?" Li Yi said in a low voice. His eyes were cold.
Siyang didn't take his expression to heart. She rubbed her stomach carelessly: "I said it was fake, but you took it seriously."
"You …" Li Yi was angered by her attitude. He turned his head and took a deep breath of cold air. Otherwise, he was really worried that he would be angered to death by this heartless woman.
Looking at him, Siyang also noticed that his appearance was not very neat today. He must have hurried to the palace after hearing the news about Ban La and was worried about her safety. Thinking of this, she was touched.
"Okay." Sitting up against the soft pillow, Siyang took his hand and slowly put it on her bulging stomach: "Don't worry, he's fine."
Even though he was angry, Li Yi didn't refuse Siyang. After sitting down, he frowned and said with a stiff face: "Wang is worried about you."
Siyang didn't expect him to say this. She was slightly surprised and looked at him quietly. She watched as he carefully rubbed her bulging stomach and finally smiled.
