Chapter 565 Enemies meet
Empress Dowager Yuan's hands were shaking from a headache, but she had no time to think about anything else.
It was because she felt that her headaches now came faster and more violently than before, and the pain was so severe that her head felt like it was going to explode.
Empress Dowager Yuan was supported by Nanny An and lay down on the bed. Little did she know that the person they were looking for was on the highest Phoenix Tower in the palace, holding a sniper rifle.
The gun was pointed at the Cining Palace where Empress Dowager Yuan was.
Ji Yuntang gave himself a very clear division of labor. Empress Dowager Yuan was protected by eighty-eight secret guards, and ordinary people could not get close to her.
She had to find a way to get rid of these elusive secret guards, so that the pressure on Hua Feixue and Yuan Jiuan would be relieved.
In terms of close combat, Ji Yuntang would definitely not be a match for these people, but the same could not be said for long-range shooting.
The bullets were fired much faster than the power of Qinggong, and there was no way they could dodge them.
Ji Yuntang’s shooting skills are very accurate, and she is the only one who can use a sniper rifle.
Therefore, this task can only be done by her.
Empress Dowager Yuan was lying in bed and had finally fallen asleep when she was awakened by a deafening noise.
She frowned and called Nanny An, looking a little unhappy.
"Madame An, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"
Nanny An rushed in in a panic and said, "Empress Dowager, something terrible has happened. Another large army has broken into the palace."
"I looked at the leader, he looks like... like..."
Her face was pale and her lips were trembling constantly, and it was impossible to tell who she looked like.
Seeing that she was hesitant in her words, Empress Dowager Yuan became a little impatient and forced herself to sit up from the bed.
"Who does the leader look like?"
She thought it was the supporters of the four great families causing trouble again, and was about to send Zhu Wei out to wipe them out in one fell swoop, when she heard Nanny An say: "Looks like... looks like the Crown Prince..."
Upon hearing this answer, Empress Dowager Yuan was stunned and did not react for a moment.
She asked, "Which prince?"
The first person she thought of was her son Yuan Chao, and her heart was slightly excited for a moment.
But soon, Queen Mother Yuan remembered that Yuan Chao had been killed by the rebels of the four major families today.
Although he wore the crown prince's court robes, he did not complete the process of establishing the crown prince, so he is not the crown prince yet.
Given his personality, there is absolutely no way he would lead his troops to force the palace.
The excitement in her heart disappeared, turning into endless depression and sadness, and Empress Dowager Yuan's face also turned cold.
Seeing this, Nanny An mistakenly thought that she was angry, and hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager, please calm down. It's not that I don't want to say it, but the person who led the troops outside to force the palace looks too much like Prince Chu Yi."
"I was afraid that you would not be able to bear it if you knew it, so I..."
Empress Dowager Yuan: "..."
Empress Dowager Yuan: "!!!"
She froze for a moment, her eyes widening in shock.
It has to be said that the impact of the two words "Chu Yi" on her was no less than anything that happened today.
Empress Dowager Yuan asked, "Did you mistake the person?"
Nanny An responded tremblingly, "Absolutely not. Not only this servant, but many people outside saw it."
"Moreover, beside His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is also Prince Chengxuan, who has brought tens of thousands of troops in. Now the entire palace has been surrounded by their troops."
Empress Dowager Yuan was startled and forced herself to get out of bed. She ignored her headache and immediately ordered, "Come and help me change my clothes."
She had to go out and see for herself whether the person outside was Chu Yi.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have been hard for her to believe that Chu Yi was still alive.
After Nanny An changed Empress Dowager Yuan's clothes, she helped her out the door.
As soon as I walked out of the Cining Palace, I saw a group of soldiers holding long swords rushing towards me. Behind them, there were two tall figures vaguely visible.
It was too dark outside and it was drizzling, so Empress Dowager Yuan couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, but the strong aura of the two people made it difficult for her to ignore it.
It was not until she got closer that she could see clearly that the person leading the group was a man in red.
That face was alluring and charming, full of romance. Her long black hair was draped behind her, fluttering in the wind. Her dark and deep eyes were slightly raised, making her look wild and uninhibited. It was hard to forget her at just one glance.
Even if Empress Dowager Yuan died, she would never forget this face.
Who else could this be but Chu Yi, the man she has been looking for for two years?
However, Chu Yi used to be crazy and dressed very sloppily, which made it easy for people to ignore his handsome looks.
But now he is completely different. He exudes an aura of majesty without even being angry, and he should not be underestimated.
When he looked over, he was clearly smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Queen Mother Yuan felt very guilty, but at this moment, she still had to put on an excited expression.
"Prince, it's really you. Where have you been these past two years? Do you know how hard I have been looking for you?"
Hua Feixue sneered and said mockingly: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother are really forgetful. Didn't we just meet three days ago? How could you forget about me so quickly?"
Empress Dowager Yuan's body stiffened. She suddenly remembered that three nights ago, when she was on her way to find the Imperial Preceptor, she did see a figure in red and was frightened by him.
At that time, she felt that the other person looked very much like Chu Yi, but she also felt that Chu Yi could not possibly still be alive.
Even if he were alive, he would not be able to live in the palace.
After all, she had been looking for him for two whole years, and had turned the palace upside down, but she still couldn't find him.
If he really lived right under his nose, it would be a terrifying thing to think about.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is such a joker. I have always lived in the palace. When have I ever seen you?"
When she finished saying this, she suddenly realized that Chu Yi didn't seem to be crazy anymore?
Could it be that he is here to seek revenge on me?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Hua Feixue's voice rang out.
His expression seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were full of hatred.
"You have never even met me, but you buried me. Who did you bury? Could it be that you deliberately found an imposter to replace me?"
Empress Dowager Yuan: "..."
She couldn't refute this question at all because it was indeed a fake.
"I have sent people to search for you for two years. There are notices posted everywhere, but Your Highness the Crown Prince has never appeared."
"Until seven days ago, someone found a body with your identity token, and I mistakenly thought it was you..."
"Since you are still alive, you should have shown up earlier, so that I could hand over the power to you and there would be no need to appoint a new crown prince."
