On the evening of the day when the emperor drove out of the palace, at sunset, the city gates were closed, and in the cool autumn evening wind, Xie Shangshu's mansion, located in the northeast of the palace and within a quarter of an hour's sedan chair, ushered in the yellow gate of the digital palace.

The envoy of the Yellow Gate came straight to the point, following the emperor's will, and asked Xie Lian, Shangshu Xie, to go to Da Chong'en Temple that night, not only to discuss the matter of empress Xie's entry into the Taimiao Temple, but also to ask Xie Lian, as a patriarch, to come forward to comfort the prince who lost his mother.

The edict read out was quite emotional. Xie Lian, who received the edict, came out tremblingly with the support of two maids, knelt down tremblingly, and wiped away tears while listening. .

The envoy came with tears in his eyes, some good words of comfort, both inside and outside, to Xie Lian and others humanely expressing the emperor's grief and self-blame for Empress Xie's death, almost to the point of not thinking about food and drink, and losing his bones.

The emperor went to the Da Chong'en Temple to worship the Buddha this time for the first time, and it was also because of inexplicable mourning, and the prince was weak and destitute, crying day and night. Lingering on the sick bed, I still hope that for the sake of the late queen, I will support my sick body no matter what, and work hard.

The more Xie Shangshu cried, the more angry he became. Everyone rushed to help him up, only to see that his hands and feet were weak, foamy saliva flowed from the corners of his closed mouth, his eyelids drooped loosely, and there were some spots left in the corners of his eyes. Cloudy tears.

To be entrusted with the emperor's order, you need to ensure that Xie Lian Shangshu is brought to Da Chong'en Temple. No matter what the reason is, the other party will regard it as a rebellion. Count as resistance?It’s impossible to pull a dead body back to hand over to the emperor——

In the midst of a dilemma, the steward of Xie Shangshu's mansion stepped forward and kowtowed to the envoy: "Xie Xianggong is now a candle in the wind. Within a year, he has lost his children. I don't know if the envoy can report the situation to His Majesty and ask to take back the holy order." , so as to save the husband from running around?"

Hearing that the envoy from Huangmen refused, the head steward led the servants to kowtow again and again, and suddenly there was a scream in the hall. It turned out that Xie Lian had passed out. To fall to the ground.

The head steward hurried over, and in front of the envoy, pinched the person and gritted his teeth. During the period, someone brought ginseng soup, and after Xie Shangshu poured it, Xie Lian's eyelids moved, but they did not open.

The envoy from the Huangmen frowned when he saw this. Although the butler was busy, seeing that Xie Lian was getting better, he hurriedly ordered people to help Xie Lian back to the inner hall. Seeing that Shangshu Xie Lian's face was pale and he was in trouble, the housekeeper suggested again: "If you have to leave tonight, can you let the gentleman go back to the house to rest for a while, the villain will send someone back to the doctor immediately, and give the minister a dose." Medicine, wait for the villain to take good care of your husband before going on the road?"

The chief steward spoke earnestly, and his love for protecting the lord was beyond words. Huang Men came to ponder over and over again, secretly thinking that this request was reasonable, and besides, Xie's mansion had already deployed manpower, but he did not believe that Xie Lian could take the opportunity to escape. After hesitating for a moment, he readily asked the elder The butler nodded slightly.

The head steward was overjoyed, and opened his mouth to call a servant without hesitation: "You set off immediately, and invite Mr. Xu, who often treats the husband, to come. Hurry up, and don't miss the important thing."

The servant was a middle-aged man of about forty years old, of medium build, with normal facial features and nothing special. The envoy glanced at him, and casually called a subordinate, and told him to go and return quickly with the servants of the Xie Mansion.

After the two left under orders, the butler invited the envoy to sit down, served tea and snacks, and stood beside him with his hands down.

Laishi drank the second pot of tea, but couldn't hold back any longer, and called the butler to ask where the doctor lived. The butler gave a detailed address, but it was on the other side of the city. Turning his face, he suddenly got up, pushed away the respectful butler of the Xie Mansion in front of him, and strode straight into the inner hall.

Forcibly came to Xie Lian's bedroom. The maids who had been taking care of Xie Lian just now were still there. The envoy shouted "Xie Shangshu", but no one answered. Flashed out from the side, and stopped him: "Mr. Xie is the Minister. Although the empress died at the beginning, she is still the grandfather of the current crown prince. Your Majesty is only issuing an edict to invite people. Your rampage is really disrespectful, right?"

Huang Men came to make him realize that he was in the way of others, and he took a step back with a livid smile on his face, while the Huang Men who followed him on both sides came out wolfishly, and directly knocked the housekeeper away. The envoy let out a cold snort, and strode into the inner room. The maids were all there, but the bedding on the magnificent bed was neat, but there was no figure of Xie Lian?

"Not good!" Huangmen almost blurted out the decree, and saw that the servants on the left and right had put the steward of Xie's mansion up, his face became more and more gloomy, and he asked with a smile, "Your Majesty's grace is prosperous, Xie Shangshu pushes you so hard, What is the reason? Is it possible... It is more important to invite him out quickly, and follow the slaves!"

The housekeeper was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he smiled slightly, but didn't answer.

Huang Men came to let him know that he had already frightened the snake, the matter had been lost, and it was impossible to draw Xie Lian out. He firmly believed that Xie Lian was still in the mansion, and the number of soldiers in Xie's mansion was only more than three hundred, so there was nothing to worry about.Afraid that the servant who took the opportunity to leave just now would attract reinforcements, thinking about this, the envoy from the Huangmen came to make a decisive decision, and softly shouted: "Follow the holy order, search the house!"

Not long after, the gate of Xie Shangshu's mansion was opened again, and hundreds of heavily armed imperial troops entered in line.

Yuxian hurriedly walked at the front of the line and entered Xie's mansion, she couldn't help but look up, under the slanting shadow of the bright moon, the mansion's eaves were already silently filled with gunmen ready to go.

When Empress Xie died in a fire in the harem, she had a premonition that the emperor was about to take action against Xie's family, but she never expected that after a very emotional royal mourning edict, only a few days later, the emperor would turn his back on him People, wielding the butcher's knife against the queen's mother's family, have the intention of exterminating the family.

She didn't know what the leader Wei Yixiao was thinking, she knew that his original intention was to join hands with Xie Lian to get rid of Zhao Rang, now that Xie Lian couldn't protect himself, the leader was alone and alone, but Zhao Rang had the emperor's backing, so it might be difficult to shake him.

Besides... why does that man look a little bit foxy?In terms of appearance, it is simply annihilating all living beings.

Yuxian had to join in this matter, but after discussing with Mr. Tao, she decided to ask for this opportunity, just to save one person in the pool of blood that was destined to be slaughtered that night.

So after entering Xie's mansion, Yuxian went straight to the inner room, and searched all the way to the remote turret, but failed to break into four wing rooms, her forehead was already sweating, her attentive ears were pricked up even more, I'm afraid that Xie's mansion can't hold back and start to fight. If they find someone, they can fish in troubled waters, but finding someone in the shadow of swords and swords is obviously hard work.

Fortunately, hard work paid off, and he searched for a few more houses. Yuxian finally found the person she was looking for in the deepest part of the back garden near the mansion. , turned his head towards the door, but his eyes were calm.

Yuxian tentatively asked: "Miss Zhao? Changle?"

The girl's eyes rolled, and finally she had a little life: "Who are you?"

Although the voice was weak, Yuxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it, she slowly approached Changle, stopped three or five steps away, and said softly: "I will talk about this later, I will save you, we have to leave quickly Here, otherwise you will be killed in a while."

There was no intention of bluffing in her words, even though the Imperial Army received the order to kill those who resisted without mercy, women and children are not allowed to fight with weapons, but once the killing ring is broken, there are also some people who are sexually motivated. What's more, even if Changle survived and fell into the hands of the leader, Yuxian didn't think it was a good thing.

It's a pity that what she said was sincere, but Chang Le was indifferent. She looked at Yu Xian steadfastly, and shook her head for a moment: "I won't leave, I should have died a long time ago, and I ended up today just to survive."

Yu Xian was suffocated, bit her lower lip, and took another step towards Chang Le, Chang Le suddenly said sharply: "Stop!"

Before she finished speaking, she slid out a pair of female red scissors from her sleeve, and she quickly pushed her neck, Xuenen's skin immediately bled, and Changle said indifferently to Yuxian: "I won't bother others for a while. Do it, just go to see the King of Hades by yourself. You go, I don't want anyone to save me."

Yuxian took a deep breath and listened quietly. The house is located in a remote place, and there has been no other changes until now. She looked back at Chang Le who was holding the scissors upside down, and asked directly: "Don't you want to see your brother again?"

Chang Le was obviously startled, and Yu Xian took the opportunity to persuade him: "Zhao Rang, right? I have seen him before, he is very different. It's just that his current situation is also very bad, don't you worry about him?"

"Brother...what's wrong with him?" Chang Le's face melted, and his voice trembled slightly.

"You come with me, and we will find a way to reunite your brothers and sisters." Yuxian said calmly, "If I lie to you, it's not too late for you to commit suicide. When the time comes, you can hang yourself by jumping into the lake or take poison. The method is your choice. Why bother like now?" Is it worthless to get blood dripping like this?"

Chang Le remained silent, looked at Yu Xian for a moment, and asked hesitantly: "You, you really came to save me? Is it Big Brother...?"

"Yes and no. You and I are both daughters who can't help ourselves. Since saving you is within my power, why should I refuse to save you?" Yu Xian said, reaching out his hand to Chang Le, "Let's go!"

Chang Le no longer hesitated, threw away the scissors, and shook hands with Yu Xian.

But when they got out of the house, the two found that the best time to escape had quietly passed away. After walking two more steps from the back garden, they heard the sound of swords clashing, one after another, mixed with the cries of women, Fighting and shouting between samurai and samurai.

Yuxian pulled Changle back with a quick response, and went back the same way. She left Changle in the house and went out to check it out. When she came back, she frowned and said to Changle: "Oh no, there are forbidden troops everywhere, I can't take them with me." You go out through the gate like no one else, do you know where there is a way out?"

Chang Le pondered for a while and said, "Come with me."

Carefully avoiding others, the two of them sneaked all the way to the other corner of the back garden. The shouts of killing soldiers gradually weakened. At the end of the wall, there was an inconspicuous small door. The iron general on the door was already wearing a rusty coat.

"I have been here since I came here, and I have always wanted to escape, so I used the music skills I learned at the beginning to perfunctory, and finally let the man allow me to walk freely in this backyard-but although few people come here, Is there a lock on the door, can you do it?"

Yu Xian smiled at Chang Le, pushed her back, pulled out her waist knife, and slashed at the iron lock, sparks overflowed, and the iron lock fell with the sound, she put the knife back into its sheath, and pulled Chang Le up: "Go quickly!" !"

Chang Le was in shock, her heart was beating like a drum, and she rushed into the night with Yu Xian in one go.
