Qin Sanyue paused for a moment, then stopped immediately. Her face was expressionless, and there was a faint coldness in her eyes. She quickly felt that the elegant shadows behind her had stopped.

That's right, her pause was a test! As expected, they took action, changed the target, and shifted the target to her.

Just because the child she held in her arms was just a fake doll, and they thought it was Brother Fourteen.

It is unknown whether it was the killer sent by the Queen or Concubine Hua.

A tile cracked on the tile cover of the palace wall opposite. It was a slight sound, but it was clearly audible.

Qin Sanyue looked over following the voice and saw a familiar face. She immediately felt relieved. With him here, there was nothing to be afraid of!

There was a tearing sound as the black figure's clothes cut through the air, and soon, four people surrounded Qin Sanyue, surrounding her in the center.

No matter how hard she fought, she couldn't break out of the encirclement unless she put down the child in her hands.

They just surrounded her quietly, without making any movement for a long time. One of the men in black said in a cold voice: "Give the child to us, and we will let you live."

Qin Sanyue sneered: "Who are you? You dare to murder even the emperor's heirs. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will catch you and send you to the Criminal Division to punish the nine clans?"

The leader in black suddenly said with a sudden tone: "Stop talking nonsense to her! This is not the emperor's son. This is just the son of Hui Gui and Wen Shichu of the imperial hospital. If the emperor knew about it, not only Hui Gui but Wen Shichu would be executed. Even if you die, you can’t save the child, but if you give the child to us now, you can still save Huigui.”

Another man in black said with a "hehe" sneer: "You would never dream of who sent us here."

Another group of figures hidden on the palace wall faded away, presumably they also heard the gossip.

"If you want a child, it depends on whether you have the ability." As soon as Qin Sanyue finished speaking, her figure swayed and stood out. In terms of kung fu, she was not the best, but when it came to escaping, she could escape faster than anyone else. .

The emperor asked An Lingrong to fill a pot of wine for him and said: "Mr. An Gui, there are rumors in the palace that the fourteenth elder brother born to me and Hui Gui is not my biological son. For the first time, I feel flustered, afraid of verification and afraid of the truth. If it's not my own child, isn't that a big joke? I am the emperor, and I am a majestic emperor, so I don't dare to go for a paternity test."

An Lingrong comforted him: "Your Majesty, the fourteenth brother born to Huigui looks very similar to the emperor, and his facial features are also very similar. His chin is exactly the same as the emperor's, and his eyebrows and eyebrows look like Huigui's. How can he be an outsider?" Where is the heir? Anyone with a discerning eye will see that he is the biological child of the Emperor and Hui Guiren!"

The emperor's mood improved slightly. He downed a glass of strong wine in one gulp and sighed softly: "I have already told people a joke. My concubine is always here, enjoying all the glory and wealth, but she wears a cuckold on me. , How am I inferior to a eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? It’s a joke. Anyone who betrays me will be cut into pieces."

As he spoke, the emperor was already three-thirds drunk, his face showed a slight peach blossom, and he looked at An Lingrong with drunken eyes and said: "Mr. An, I see that you don't compete for favor, and you are not in a hurry. I don't know why, but I am so angry with you. I have a bit of a good impression, and I feel that a beautiful woman in this world is not as good as being able to maintain prosperity, have an indifferent mood, and only an indifferent person who is indifferent to gains and losses has a different flavor."

An Lingrong gently took out the wine glass from his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you are drunk."

The emperor shook his head with misty eyes and said, "No, I'm not drunk."

The emperor held her hand and whispered in her ear: "You come with me, I will take you to see Brother Fourteen."

An Lingrong said blankly: "Your Majesty, didn't you just ask Qin Sanyue to carry the fourteenth brother out?"

The emperor said softly: "You come with me."

The emperor gently moved a row of bookshelves against the wall, and only heard the sound of an iron door slowly opening. There was a secret passage behind the bookshelves.

The emperor held up a lantern and took An Lingrong's hand through the underground passage. This was a passage wide enough to accommodate five people walking side by side. The surrounding walls were paved with marble. From the looks of it, it had been built for a certain number of years. It's time.

An Lingrong's heart moved. It meant that this passage had been built when the late emperor was here.

It turns out that there is an underground secret passage in the Emperor's Yangxin Palace. Specifically, there should be three secret passages, one leading to the "Shou Kang Palace" of the Queen Mother, and two other secret passages, I don't know where they lead.

An Lingrong stepped on marble, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes. She tiptoed along the wall.

The underground passage was so dark that she could barely see the road ahead, but there were sporadic and weak lights not far ahead leading her.

The emperor's steps were getting faster and faster, and soon he was no longer visible in front of him. The weak light was the lantern in the emperor's hand.

He was in a hurry, too anxious to wait for An Lingrong.

Soon, An Lingrong saw a door made of marble. The door was inlaid with colorful gems. The gems reflected light inward and flickered.

An Lingrong stared at the door blankly. What was behind the door?

As he got closer to the door, the damp smell gradually became weaker and weaker, and the candlelight became stronger and stronger. An Lingrong guessed that this was the exit.

Sure enough, it was the exit. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time. The ground was covered with dust and fallen leaves, making a creaking sound when stepped on, which was particularly strange in the quiet night.

Originally thinking that the door was the exit, it was just a vent. An Lingrong had no time to stop and continued walking forward looking for the light.

The huge spider webs on the wall made her scalp numb, and there were white feather-like things floating in the air, which were strange and weird. Not far away, another stone door appeared. The iron door was surrounded by orange and dark copper, and there was a faint trace on the door. There were also words, but they couldn't be identified, and then a burst of fragrance came out.

An Lingrong gently opened the iron door, and the inside was filled with fragrance and the golden walls were brilliant.

There were flower ponds four or five meters apart inside. The flowers were swaying and the fragrance of flowers was coming, but An Lingrong held his breath.

This is Zhu Youhua. The fragrance of the flower can be intoxicating, causing difficulty in breathing in mild cases and fainting in severe cases.

The emperor gave her a handkerchief, and the two of them covered their faces with the handkerchief. When they were almost at the exit, they let go of the handkerchief.

There was a faint light coming from outside, it was the light of torches.

The emperor said: "Mr. An, the person sitting in the sedan chair is Brother Fourteen. You know medical skills. Tonight, Qin Sanyue will lead away the ambush. You don't have to worry about Qin Sanyue. Xia Gao will protect her. I will personally take care of her." You and the fourteenth elder brother were sent to Tonghua Terrace, which is where King Guojun lives. Further in is where King Qinghe lives. You quietly sent the child to Concubine Shu to be raised. The Queen Mother was unwell and contracted the cold. , for fear of infecting Brother Fourteen, and in order not to alert others, I secretly asked you to accompany me there."
