The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 249. Start attacking
Although the plans made by Pei Zhang Xi and King Nan were arguably perfect, there was always a gap in every perfection. After all, Lu Jing Yu still felt anxious. He still did not manage to sleep after quite some time even though Pei Zhang Xi continued to hug him.
"Yu'er, do I have to force you to sleep?" Pei Zhang Xi found out that Lu Jing Yu had not yet slept and tightened his arms around Lu Jing Yu's waist.
"But I'm really not sleepy Your Majesty." Lu Jing Yu knew he had been caught and flipped his body to face Pei Zhang Xi.
Indeed, Lu Jing Yu's eyes were still open without the slightest sign of sleepiness. But the light of those eyes clearly showed that the owner should immediately rest himself.
"You sure?" Pei Zhang Xi spoke seriously.
"Yes. I'm really not sleepy right now." Lu Jing Yu replied without hesitation. He was not sleepy at all.
"Want me to help you?" Pei Zhang Xi asked seriously.
"Will His Majesty be able to help me sleep?" Lu Jing Yu furrowed her brows.
"Yes. But it depends whether you want to." Pei Zhang Xi replied with a smile on his lips.
"I want. I'm already tired. But my eyes really can't be compromised." Lu Jing Yu replied without the slightest hesitation.
"Because you've decided, don't regret it." Lu Jing Yu just felt something was strange when she saw the smile of Pei Zhang Xi that she was so familiar with. But by the time he realized what Pei Zhang Xi might do to force him to sleep, it was too late for him to retract his words. Pei Zhang Xi's hand had shrewdly slipped into his nightgown. Also, the man's lips had already closed his mouth. Soon, Lu Jing Yu did not remember anything after that as she was already late in the game of Pei Zhang Xi who could always indulge her. And by the time Lu Jing Yu woke up the next day, it was already noon. The sun was shining brightly outside the room.
Lu Jing Yu opened her eyes that felt heavy. Pei Zhang Xi pardoned him last night because he knew that Lu Jing Yu was already too tired. After seeing Lu Jing Yu already unable to open her eyes anymore, she stopped her activities.
With still heavy eyes, he touched the empty spot beside him and realized that it was cold, indicating that Pei Zhang Xi had left their bed a long time ago.
"Xiao Bei, come and prepare some water for me to take a bath." Lu Jing Yu called Xiao Bei after putting on his outer robe.
Xiao Bei had indeed been waiting for Lu Jing Yu to wake up. Before leaving, Pei Zhang Xi also forbade Xiao Bei to wake Lu Jing Yu up and allow Lu Jing Yu to sleep longer. After all last night was not an easy night for Lu Jing Yu. So when Lu Jing Yu called out to him, he immediately went in and prepared to help her.
The water prepared for Lu Jing Yu's bath had been heated again and again. In the eastern palace there was no natural hot spring pool like the one in the residence of King Rui.
"Your Majesty, what can I help you with?" Xiao Bei immediately pulled the curtain before asking.
"Has His Majesty left?"
"Yes Your Majesty. His Majesty has been gone since the morning blind. His Majesty and master Mo Han as well as master Mo Ting left before sunrise." Xiao Bei replied. At that time he also slept and was awakened by the servant who was ruled by Pei Zhang Xi.
"It's His Majesty." Xiao Bei immediately helped Lu Jing Yu get off his bed.
"Your Majesty, before His Highness the Crown Prince left this morning, His Majesty asked the servant to convey to His Majesty if today the Little Prince will be in the Peace palace to accompany the Emperor's Majesty." Xiao Bei said as he helped remove Lu Jing Yu's outer robe.
"Yes. I understand Xiao Bei." Lu Jing Yu nodded. He knew very well the reason why Pei Zhang Xi sent their son to the Peace palace. If there was a safest place in this palace the answer would be of course the Peace Palace where the Imperial Majesty spent most of his time. In addition to the palace's royal guard, the Peace Palace is also guarded by the forces of the Emperor's Majesty who is only loyal to the Emperor's Majesty. Before the Emperor died, they would never acknowledge another master. So even though these troops were all around, they would not move if it had nothing to do with the Imperial Majesty unless there was a direct order from him.
Moreover, no one would have expected that Pei Zhi Hui would be there. The rebels must have thought that Pei Zhi Hui was in the eastern palace or the pavilion belonging to Consort Su the way the latter had done.
While Lu Jing Yu was preparing herself to deal with the bad things that might happen, the troops led by General Yuan who was Pei Zhong Min's men had moved. Pei Zhong Min was also within this army. But he was a little bit behind. He would only appear when his army would win and press Emperor Pei An Long to the bottom.
The large army of Yuan generals walked on the main street of the capital. While the people who were previously running their activities immediately withdrew. They were quickly directed to enter their home by the soldiers of King Nan in disguise. They looked more like they were clearing the way for these rebels.
With a quiet and unimpeded road approaching, they reached the palace quickly. Tearing down the guards standing guard in front of the gate easily. Then it entered and spread throughout the palace to take over the situation. At this time Emperor Pei An Lonh, the Kings as well as the ministers were conducting a morning trial inside the main hall. And that's where the main forces of these rebels are headed.
A palace, always had their guards not the least. In every street, the guards would keep moving watching the situation. If these rebels wanted to go to the main hall, they would naturally have to defeat these guards.
In just an hour, they finally arrived in front of the main hall. Pei Zhong Min who looked at this state of affairs with a satisfied look.
Just one more step. He would be the number one person in the Empire and he was the one who would sit at the highest place in the place in front of him and receive the respect of everyone. At that time, he would see who would dare to resist and disobey his orders. Imagining the moment that was about to happen, the smile on his face grew wider.
