The concubine's concubine smiled charmingly, and the villain king would not hesitate to tease h

Empress Dowager Li finally turned pale.

The two have been fighting since the beginning of their ascension to the throne, but every time the Queen Mother ended in failure, her eyes reflected hatred, and she suddenly shouted to the inner room: "Ker, come out, we won't get married anymore!"

But no bride came out from inside.

Empress Dowager Li called out again: "Ke'er?"

After a long time, someone finally came out of the inner room. He was dressed in red and covered his head, but when the bride took off her own veil, it was not the familiar face of the Empress Dowager Li.

"Hongying? Why are you?"

Wen Xun'er was also surprised, why is Hongying here?

"Hongying has met the emperor and queen!" Hongying bowed to Xiao Jiwei and Wen Xun'er.

Xiao Jiwei nodded lightly, and looked at Empress Dowager Li: "It's best for Empress Mother not to get involved in this dispute, otherwise, you will only be the one who suffers!"

The implication is that she should not interfere, including this marriage!

Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word, she got up suddenly and went to the inner room, only to find that Xiao Muke was unconscious on the bed.

"Ke'er?" Empress Dowager Li's anxious voice came from the inner room, and she was relieved when she confirmed that Xiao Muke was just in a coma, her face changed a lot.

"What do you want to use her for?" Outside, Wen Xun'er asked Xiao Jiwei.

The latter turned to look at her and said nothing.

Beside Wen Xun'er, Cang La hid behind Wen Xun'er in fear, with wet tears still hanging on his face.

"Cang La, go and sleep in the tent inside. When you wake up, your brothers and sisters will be in front of you." Xiao Jiwei patted her head.

"Really?" Cang La looked at Wen Xun'er in disbelief.

Wen Xun'er patted her on the shoulder reassuringly: "Go, the emperor said well, he won't lie to you!"

Xiao Ji glanced at Wen Xun'er indifferently, and Cang La was dragged into it by Qiuyue.

"Your Majesty, the wolves stopped us for the time being, but the Xuanshen Cult had clearly prepared a lot of bows and arrows. If things go on like this, when it gets dark, we won't be their opponents at all."

Xiao Jiwei nodded: "Let Zhang Yuan lead everyone back up the mountain."

Chunsheng took the order and went out to convey his will. Behind him, Xiao Jiwei said again: "Let her in."

After a while, Wen Xun'er saw a familiar figure coming in from outside, it was none other than Qingran.

Did Xiao Jiwei use the Twelve Shadow Guards?

"Greetings to the emperor and empress!" Qingran saluted respectfully.

Xiao Jiwei looked at Hongying who was at the side: "Take her there."

Qingran took the lead and walked out together with Hongying. Not long after, the sound of arrows outside suddenly stopped, and Wen Xun'er vaguely understood what——

Just now, the people outside shot arrows recklessly, obviously with the intention of annihilating the entire army inside, but at this moment, Hongying appeared and the arrows stopped. Could it be understood that Hongying was actually the hostage being held hostage?After all, she witnessed the last moment in the imperial mausoleum, and Wan Yin took Hong Ying away at the risk of risk.

But how did Xiao Jiwei persuade Hongying to obey his arrangement.

"Your question, I will explain it to you later." Apparently knowing what she wanted to ask, Xiao Jiwei interrupted her train of thought, "Later Zhang Yuan will lead people to retreat, you go with him, and the people inside will be handed over to you gone."

"Are you going to confront Wan Yin directly?"

Xiao Jiwei nodded: "You forgot, I still have his poison on me, it's time to end it!"

Wen Xun'er suddenly blocked his way: "I'll go with you!"

Xiao Jiwei's dark eyes fell on her, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he rejected Wen Xun'er's proposal: "No need."

The seemingly random words, but with a tone that cannot be rejected, Wen Xun'er keenly felt that these two words were not the same as before.

She suddenly remembered that time when the late emperor passed away, Xiao Ji left in danger when faced with a change in the palace.

At that time, he also did not allow her to be with him, but at that time, his tone was more worried about her being in danger. In other words, that refusal was protection.

But the two words at this moment were somewhat indifferent, as if he simply didn't want her to follow, other than that, it didn't involve any other emotions, that is to say, this refusal was his original intention.

For some reason, Wen Xun'er felt a slight emotion in her heart, feeling a little lost for no reason.

Xiao Jiwei's figure had already left the camp.

She didn't know what was going on outside, and it wasn't long before someone walked in, it was Qingran.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor ordered his subordinates to protect your safety." She was dressed in black, with an indifferent expression, and saluted Wen Xun'er respectfully.

Wen Xun'er was worried that no one would tell her about Hongying, but she came unexpectedly.

"What happened to Hongying?"

"She listened to the bad guys before and almost harmed the emperor. The emperor gave her a chance to go undercover at the Xuanshen Sect, so her stay at the Xuanshen Sect during this period was not a betrayal, but just a message to us. .”

Wen Xun'er was puzzled: "If this is the case, shouldn't the emperor know about the Xuanshen Sect's lair early on? Why do you need to make such a big circle and make a big wedding to lure Wan Yin out?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know. Although Hongying is not a traitor, Wan Yin is extremely suspicious and doesn't believe Hongying. Although Hongying is in the Xuanshen Sect during this period, the information she has obtained is limited, and the lair of the Xuanshen Sect Being in a busy city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is not a good place to kill, and luring him out is the way with the least casualties."

"The Xuanshen Sect is in the downtown area?"

"Yes, it's just underground on North Street."

Wen Xun'er suddenly realized.

The most lively market in Licheng is the North-South Commercial Street from the north to the south of the city. There are dense residents and many vendors. In addition, there is no curfew in Beihan, so it is quite lively no matter it is day or night. If you are in that place If the Xuanshen sect is attacked, the other party is likely to take ordinary people as hostages. Not only will they be helpless, but they will also suffer heavy casualties.

But it's different in the hunting grounds.

In addition to hundreds of officials and their families, there are professional imperial guards here, with the least casualties.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Yuan came to her camp and gave instructions to retreat.

Wen Xun'er didn't say anything more, and walked up the mountain together with Empress Dowager Li, Xiao Muke and the others.

There, a passage had been cleared by the imperial guards, so the road was unimpeded, except for the scattered corpses on the road.

Cang La was so frightened that she tightly grasped Wen Xun'er's hand, while avoiding the corpse, but at the same time looking for familiar faces in the corpse.

"Don't be afraid, your brothers and sisters are all safe and won't be in these."

Wen Xun'er relieved Cang La's fear with one sentence, she raised her head, staring at Wen Xun'er with shrinking pupils: "Really?"

"Well, they are all waiting for us on the mountain, as long as we pass safely, we can join them!"

Only then did Cang La relax, and he stopped looking around all the way.
