The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

Yu Tingwan didn't know how long he had been listening there. Seeing that he had no intention of saying hello, he ignored him.

Returning to Yilan Palace, she placed the qin on the table and carefully touched the dragon pond and phoenix marsh on the qin. Sure enough, there were two shallow scratches.

Yu Tingwan wondered for a long time whether it meant two days later. Unexpectedly, at the second watch, he was woken up again.

"Girl, it's me."

"Axun?" Yu Tingwan opened his eyes drowsily and said in shock: "They will definitely find out if you use the drug twice."

"No." Ah Xun's eyebrows showed a hint of youthful cunning, "Pei Zhi withdrew the Dragon-Slaying Guards from the inner hall yesterday. There have been incidents in Chang'an City one after another, and he doesn't have enough manpower."

Yu Xiuyun's dead men had all sneaked into Chang'an City on the emperor's birthday. In the past two days, they had sneaked into the residence of King Wei's ministers and stole some information about Beihu to confuse people's attention.

Pei Zhi was furious, and batches of dragon-slaying guards were sent to search for the whereabouts of the Beihu spies in Chang'an City. The secret guards in Yilan Palace were all masters, and they had been transferred to perform tasks yesterday.

"Girl, we will leave at night in five days." Ah Xun paused, "Don't worry, the young master has given instructions and will take Qiutao with him."

Qiu Tao grew up in the Yu family. She knew exactly where the relatives and ancestral graves of the Yu family who could not be reached were. Yu Xiuyun had specifically told Ah Xun to either bring this person back or kill him.

Early the next morning, Yu Tingwan took out the copybook that Zheng Sui had sent to the palace, handed it to Ruyi, and told her word by word: "Take this copybook and practice it diligently every day. With your qualifications, your future achievements will be great." It will be worse than Xie Yun."

"The Concubine Xian mentioned last time that although you haven't learned calligraphy for a long time, you are very serious. She hopes that I will send you to Feiyu Hall for a few days to help her copy scriptures." Yu Tingwan smoothed Ruyi's hair and asked : "Are you willing to go?"

Five days later will be the 15th. On this day of every month, Concubine Xian will lead the palace staff to copy scriptures all night to pray for her daughter who died young.

"My slave is willing." Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that she had earned the favor of the Concubine Xian to earn face for her mother-in-law.

Yu Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief. The next few days were the same as usual, with no changes.

In the Zichen Hall, the emperor was sleeping soundly. The heavy curtains in the side hall were on fire, but within a moment it turned into a raging flame, spreading outward along the grease sprinkled on the ground.

There was chaos in the palace. In addition to Zichen Palace, Jiaofang Palace, which was not far from Yilan Palace, was also destroyed. Jiaofang Palace was usually unoccupied. Anyone could understand that it was deliberately set on fire.

The Yulin Guards rushed in to help put out the fire, and the emperor was carried to the Xuanshi Palace. Chen Xi said angrily: "The palace door is closed, let me investigate strictly!"

"Commander Chen!" A Yulin guard ran over panting, "Kaiyang Gate was also destroyed. The person who set the fire committed suicide on the spot. He should be a dead soldier."

Chen Xi's face became increasingly gloomy and he asked, "Is the fire out?"

"not yet……"

Kaiyang Gate was close to the Imperial Academy, and there were all the nobles inside. Chen Xi took a deep breath and said, "Besides the flooding in these places, what else happened?"

He had a bad premonition in his heart. Sure enough, as soon as the fire in Zichen Palace was extinguished, a palace official came in a hurry and showed a token. Chen Xi's expression changed, he backed away from the others, and asked: "But what does King Wei have?" What orders?"

"Commander Chen, I was ordered to monitor Yilan Palace. Just now..." The palace man closed his eyes, knowing that his life could not be saved. "Just now we discovered that the imperial concubine is missing."

"The imperial concubine made an appointment with the Marquis of Jiangling in Cangchi today. We thought they had an affair, so we sent two people to follow them. Until it was getting late, the imperial concubine did not come back, nor did the sent dragon-slaying guards."

Chen Xi cursed secretly and was about to call someone to go to Prince Wei's Mansion when he saw Pei Zhi had arrived. He calmly calmed Chen Xi and said, "Boyang, why should you panic? Do you and I rarely see people who are planning to cause trouble?"

"My lord, the imperial concubine is missing." Chen Xi did not dare to look at Pei Zhi and said bravely: "My subordinate neglected his duty, and the Marquis of Jiangling is also missing."

Pei Zhi's expression did not change, and there was still a smile on his lips. His whole body became a little colder, and he whispered softly: "Where is the person who is monitoring them?"

The Dragon-Slaying Guard of Yilan Palace's legs weakened, he knelt down to apologize, and said what he had just said from beginning to end.

"Have an affair?" Pei Zhi's voice finally became a little turbulent, "Chuang Gu's order is to block the city gates and all official roads leading to Sili, and we will see people dead or corpses."

On the trail from Chang'an to the south, a carriage passed by at high speed, raising dust in the darkness. Although the carriage was small, the horse was a fine war horse and could travel thousands of miles in a day.

The road was bumpy and Yu Tingwan was a little dizzy from the bumps. Qiu Tao patted her back gently.

Jiao Yue sat on the roof of the car, squinting her eyes to watch for anyone chasing her.

"Your Majesty, someone is catching up with me. This servant saw the fire."

Ah Xun's voice was quite relaxed: "How many people are there?"

"Not many, probably only seven or eight people."

Ah Xun breathed a sigh of relief. There was trouble in the city. The few masters around King Wei should have stayed in Chang'an City. As for the other Dragon-Slaying Guards, their skills were mediocre.

The bright moon looked at the fire getting closer and closer, the speed was abnormally fast, and her heart suddenly hung up.

An arrow was shot at her with the wind. Gaoyue couldn't dodge, and her arm was cut by the arrow tip.

At this time, in this weather, even an arrow could hurt her from such a distance. The bright moon's throat was tight, and the name rolled in her throat a few times, and she did not dare to say it out.

"The King of Wei... is the King of Wei."

Ah Xun found it inconceivable that the city of Chang'an was in such chaos, how could King Wei come to pursue him in person.

Yu Tingwan squeezed Qiu Tao's hand tightly and whispered: "If you really can't escape, you follow Jiao Yue and leave. I am a noble concubine, so I won't die after all."

These words were meant to comfort Qiu Tao. Yu Tingwan also understood that the reason why she could go so far today was because of the sacrifice of her brother's dead men. Pei Zhi would not let her go if the Zichen Palace was burned down.

Qiutao shook her head, "No, how can I leave alone?"

"Be obedient, and only one of you can survive."

The carriage stopped suddenly. Yu Tingwan smelled the smell of blood and subconsciously called out: "Axun?"

The car curtain was opened by the tip of the sword, and in front of her was a man in silver armor and a white horse, with a face as cold as ice, looking down at her.

"Your Highness..." Yu Tingwan got out of the car and glanced at Ah Xun who was captured alive. Jiao Yue seemed to be injured, kneeling on the ground, and drops of blood stained the grass under her feet.

"I have been careful to restrain myself, why do you still insist on leaving?"

Pei Zhi's heart was filled with anger. Since she didn't like men showing kindness, he restrained his feelings and never let her know. Since she didn't like being restrained, he endured in every possible way and even accepted Fu Xun hanging around her.

That day at Liangfeng Terrace, he heard clearly the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" played by Fu Xun.

"Speak." Seeing that Yu Tingwan was silent, Pei Zhi glanced at Fu Xun coldly and ordered the Dragon-Slaying Guard beside him: "Cut off one of Marquis Jiangling's hands."
