In the past, Li Junci would visit the Leng Palace every now and then, but because of those jewelry, he had not been to the Leng Palace for several days.

This also made Xu Jinyi miserable, having to keep company with these plum trees every day.

Because she is new here, she is responsible for the entire Lenggong courtyard. You cannot enter the rooms inside the Lenggong.

If she went in, she would find that the furnishings inside were the same as when she left.

At night, Xu Jinyi, who was a little hungry, wanted to try her luck and plundered in the same direction as she had gone to the imperial kitchen to steal meals.

I was wondering if the layout of the imperial dining room would be the same, but I didn't expect that she was actually asked to steal it.

Eating the snacks happily, he sighed with a careless expression: "I didn't expect to be able to eat the same snacks. It's really good."

During the few days in the palace, Xu Jinyi already knew that their general's residence had been ransacked.

She was also very anxious to see the tyrant and exchange news about Gu Shaoyu for the safety of the general's mansion.

But after being in the palace for so many days, she didn't find a chance to escape. She was afraid that if she didn't take action, her father and brother would be put on trial.

She does have time now, but how can she go there secretly in the middle of the night?

She is good at martial arts, but there are also many imperial guards in the palace.

Li Junci over there looked at the news from the secret guard with an angry look on his face.

"So the three men disappeared out of thin air? There is no news at all for so long!"

The secret guard lowered his head: "Back to the emperor, there is no news about the man in the painting within a hundred miles of the capital, but my subordinates found other news."

"explain?"

The secret guard asked someone to bring up a hundred thousand taels of gold ingots. Before he could speak, Li Junci had already picked up a gold ingot and looked at it carefully.

He is very familiar with such gold ingots.

Five years ago, on June 6th, he opened the small box and found the million gold ingot left by the fairy sister.

It was with those gold ingots that he could successfully take revenge and seize the throne.

Later, he ordered the secret guards to redeem these gold ingots one by one.

"Although my subordinates can't find any information about those three people, they have found out the origins of these gold ingots."

Knowing that these gold ingots came from General Xu's mansion, Li Junci went to the dungeon himself regardless of what time it was.

At this time, General Xu could no longer see what he was like seven days ago.

The whole person seemed to be more than ten years older. There were more gray hairs on his head, he had lost a lot of weight, and his face was covered with stubble.

Li Junci stepped into the cell. Because of his late night arrival, rats were scurrying around in the dark and damp dungeon, and several of them crawled past Li Junci's feet.

Xiao Li behind him covered his mouth with fear in his eyes, but when he saw the calm emperor, he did not dare to scream.

I can only endure the numbness of my scalp and move forward.

General Xu's eyes widened and he didn't understand why the emperor appeared in front of him.

"The guilty minister bows before the emperor, long live the emperor." General Xu stood up and saluted with a weak face.

"I ask you, where did this gold ingot come from?"

General Xu's heart skipped a beat.

He leaned down in panic and said, "Your Majesty is joking, this is just ordinary gold. Didn't you see any difference?"

Li Junci said in a threatening tone: "Aren't you going to save your daughter? If you tell me, I will spare your daughter's life."

"This gold was obtained by the guilty minister through corruption over the years. I really don't know where it came from."

Hearing this, Li Junci smiled instead of getting angry: "Really? Then when we catch your daughter, we will see if you can still be so stubborn."

The next day.

The news spread that General Xu would be executed in three days.

Xu Jinyi, who was in the cold palace, only received the news the next day, and by this time she was anxious.

Why wait for the tyrant to come? She can't wait a moment longer.

He changed back to his true appearance, evaded the search by the Imperial Guards, and appeared at the entrance of the Yangxin Hall.

Little Eunuch Li stood guard at the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw the woman who suddenly appeared.

Not only because of her appearance, but because there were no palace maids or eunuchs around her, and she was not wearing palace clothes, her identity was not clear for a while.

The first one to react was the secret guard hiding in the dark.

Before Xu Jinyi could get close to the door of Yangxin Hall, a whole row jumped out, all holding swords in their hands.

Xu Jinyi did not come here today to assassinate the tyrant. Looking at the closed door, Xu Jinyi knelt down.

"Xu Jinyi, the daughter of General Xu, requests to see the Emperor!"

Little Eunuch Li pushed aside the secret guard: "Are you the daughter of General Xu? Come here, take this person down and imprison him until the emperor tells you tomorrow."

At this time in the middle of the night, Eunuch Li didn't have a good face even if he knew that this person was deliberately attracted by the emperor.

"My father-in-law, I have something important to see the emperor. Please inform me."

Eunuch Li frowned and spoke loudly: "Do it, put the person in the dungeon first."

A trace of determination flashed in Xu Jinyi's eyes. She must see the tyrant tonight, otherwise her father will be executed tomorrow.

Once imprisoned in the dungeon, who knows that the tyrant Ming Di will not remember to summon her.

Holding a long sword in hand, Xu Jinyi jumped up and approached the Yangxin Hall as light as a swallow.

Those secret guards are not vegetarians, and they don't care about the concept of bullying the more and embarrassing the less. They all go up together.

I saw the long sword in Xu Jinyi's hand turned into thousands of afterimages, sending out a cold light towards the secret guard.

The body shape was even more extreme, and for a while the two sides were indistinguishable.

Xu Jinyi shuttled among the ten people like a ghost, her slender waist twisting and dodging every sword attack.

There was a clanging sound of swords and swords outside.

After a quarter of an hour, Li Junci became interested inside. He knew very well how good his secret guard martial arts were.

If a person can persist among ten of them for a quarter of an hour, that's a great feat.

Li Junci opened the door, stood with his hands behind his hands, and looked up at the afterimages.

Li Junci's pupils shrank sharply after clearly seeing the martial arts used by the woman with her back to him, and his body reacted faster than his brain.

He pulled out the sword of the guard with a sword next to him and threw it away from above.

Seeing the secret guard's sword almost hurt the slender figure, my whole heart felt like it was being pulled hard by a big hand.

Xu Jinyi thought that the sword was going to hit her, but she didn't expect that someone would come to help, so she instinctively turned around to look.

At this moment, Li Jun Cifei stopped moving forward and froze on the spot.

His expression was dazed and stagnant, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

Not her!

Although their looks are equally stunning, they are two completely different faces.

Xu Jinyi was also shocked when she saw Li Junci.

I saw a man wearing the emperor's pajamas embroidered with two dragons playing with pearls. He had a tall and straight figure and delicate eyebrows.

Those pair of deep eyes revealed a coldness and aura that was formidable and frightening.

The secret guards also saw the emperor's move, and they all stopped.
