rebirth will be hard to find

When the Dragon Hall was on fire, His Highness the Crown Prince was standing beside the old emperor's Dragon Tower, listening to Xu Ze, Chen Taiyi and the imperial physician ordering to discuss the condition.He is not in good health, and he has become a doctor after a long illness these years. He can still understand some of the things discussed by the few people, but it is because he understands that his mood becomes heavier.

The old emperor was poisoned by a strange poison, and it was not the poison that Liu Xiteng had impregnated as they thought before.The old emperor's poison is a chronic poison, at least he has to take the medicine for seven days in a row. This time the poison was caused by Liu Xi's medicine, and the toxicity of this poison is irreversible, that is to say, even if many people in the future Ze has a way to detoxify, and it is impossible for the old emperor's health to get better again.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the old emperor who was sleeping on the bed, feeling extremely heavy.However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and someone shouted in panic, "It's out of water!"

At the beginning, the few people around Long Da did not take the phrase "running the water" to heart, but frowned in displeasure because of the noise of the palace guards—this is the Longteng Palace, and the emperor's residence is naturally well-guarded and well-prepared.Not to mention that there are so many guards around, there is also water everywhere in the Longteng Hall, and the ordinary fire can't start at all!

It was the prince who heard the difference, and was about to lift the curtains to go out to have a look, when he saw Li Lin running in with a face of panic, and shouted when he saw him: "His Royal Highness, something happened! Kerosene, when you see the fire, it will catch fire, the fire is already big..."

As soon as Li Lin's words fell, the imperial physicians in the dormitory were a little flustered, but because the crown prince was still there, each of them managed to calm down, but their faces were a little ugly.

The prince pursed his lips, turned his head and walked to the window.He raised his hand to push the window to see the situation, but his fingertips were scalded and retracted as soon as they touched it.His heart sank, and he simply kicked the window open.

With a "boom", the flames sprang up, and the scorching air swept across the bedroom in an instant.

His Highness the Crown Prince stared at it, and there was already a sea of ​​flames. He knew that there was no way to escape from places like the main entrance and windows.It's just that he didn't understand, where did those assassins get the ability to get the oil into the Longteng Palace in a grandiose manner without the knowledge of all the guards in the palace?Even if Liu Xi has deep trust in his hands and eyes, with his own strength, this is still impossible!

"Your Highness, what should we do?" Seeing that the situation was not good, some imperial physicians couldn't help asking anxiously.

"I can't get out, the fire is too big! This kerosene is not an ordinary kerosene. The fire ignited within a few breaths. People outside noticed it at that time, but no one in the bedroom escaped." Get out!" Li Lin looked at the fire gradually burning in from the window, his face was frighteningly white, but the fire light reflected on his face, his expression was inexplicably calm.

As Li Lin's voice fell, the imperial physicians suddenly panicked.

His Royal Highness took a look at Li Lin and asked, "How do you know that kerosene is extraordinary?"

Li Lin replied after hearing the words: "I have seen it! My father belongs to the Ministry of Industry. I have been fond of water conservancy since I was a child. I used to travel around with my elders. This kerosene was originally produced underground. When I traveled with my elders, I saw it in the mountains by chance. However, it looks very ordinary, but it will catch fire, and the water will not extinguish it!"

Following Li Lin's words "Water can't be extinguished", there was a dead silence in the dormitory, and many people even showed despair on their faces.

His Royal Highness was unmoved, and asked, "Where did you see this kind of kerosene?"

Li Lin pursed his lips, looked up at the prince, and said in a deep voice, "Linzhou!"

His Highness the Crown Prince's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he didn't ask any more questions.

Li Lin turned his head and glanced at the window kicked open by His Royal Highness, the fire had already burned in along the gap, and the heat wave was rolling in.The situation was already a little critical, he no longer hesitated, and asked: "Is there any way for your Highness to get out?"

From the beginning to the end, the prince was very calm and calm, and even had the mood to ask him about the kerosene, so Li Lin was sure that he must have a way out.

Sure enough, the crown prince lowered his eyes and said, "There is a secret way in the Dragon Hall to leave."

Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and after he was relieved, he felt that the clothes on his back were already wet with sweat, and he didn't know whether he was scared or was baked by the scorching heat.

But immediately afterwards, the prince said again: "This secret way has always been known only to the emperor, and I don't know where the organ and the entrance are."

I don't know how calm you can be? !If the prince in front of him was not a dignified prince, Li Lin would be able to yell at him immediately.But at this moment, he couldn't care less about it. If there is a secret path, there is always hope. He immediately shouted to the imperial physician and guards in the dormitory: "Don't be dazed, are you waiting to die? Find it quickly!" !"

As if waking up a dreamer with one word, everyone started to rummage after Li Lin's words fell.The walls, floor tiles, furnishings, and even the dragon bed where the old emperor was lying were all searched, but nothing was found...

************************************************** ******************************

Chu Yi was planning to take Cheng Zian back to Longteng Hall to wait for the result, but she remembered something halfway, and walked towards Leng Gong as soon as she turned her footsteps.

Cheng Zian had never been to the cold palace, and he didn't know where Chu Yi was leading her to, so he just followed her.

Chu Yi also suddenly remembered that there is actually a secret way in Longteng Hall!The old emperor gave her a map of the secret passages of the Imperial Palace before his death in his previous life. The bottom of the palace was dug like a spider's web. Not to mention the Dragon Palace, there are several secret passages in the East Palace.It's just that these secret ways are all in the hands of the emperor, and even the crown prince will not know the existence of these secret ways unless it comes to the moment of passing on the throne!

If the prince was trapped in the Longteng Palace alone, Chu Yi had no hope of hugging him, because the prince would not know that there was a secret passage there, and even if he guessed it, he would not be able to find the mechanism.However, when the Longteng Hall was on fire, there were still imperial physicians and the old emperor who had been poisoned and unconscious in the sleeping hall, so as long as the imperial physicians could wake up the old emperor, they might escape through secret passages!

Hope was rekindled in Chu Yi's eyes, and he hurried to Lenggong——the most convenient secret road in Longteng Palace leads to Lenggong, but she doesn't like that place, so after walking through it once, she will go to Lenggong again. I have never set foot on that secret road.

With hope in his heart, Chu Yi walked quickly, walking ahead like a gust of wind, regardless of whether Cheng Zian, who was a little exhausted today, could keep up.Until she suddenly heard Cheng Zian yell "Be careful, Your Highness", and then she was thrown to the ground.

With a muffled sound of "Dole", an arrow slantedly inserted into the bluestone floor not far in front of Chu Yi.

Chu Yi's pupils shrank, and before he could feel the fear, Cheng Zian pulled her up, and then ran away with her - all the guards around Chu Yi stayed in the Longteng Palace to fight the fire. At this moment, except Cheng Zian Zian had no one else to rely on, and Cheng Zian didn't say that he was exhausted earlier, but now he was unarmed, unable to resist the cold arrow from the dark at all.

Several cold arrows were shot one after another, and Cheng Zian dragged Chu Yi to bury his head and ran wildly, but the back of his head seemed to have eyes, and he could always lead Chu Yi to avoid those cold arrows in time.

Seeing that the two of them were about to run out of range, four or five assassins finally jumped out from the dark with their swords in hand.

Cheng Zian's eyes froze, and he blocked Chu Yi behind him.

The villain died because of talking too much, so these assassins swung their knives at the two of them without saying a word.Cheng Zian held Chu Yi with one hand, dodged left and right, and finally got another knife wound on his body, and finally grabbed the knife.

With the long knife in hand, Cheng Zian's aura suddenly changed.She was still protecting Chu Yi carefully, but she was fierce when she swung her knife to meet the enemy.With just one person, he suppressed the four or five assassins facing him so that he was powerless to fight back.But that's all, the other party cooperated tacitly, and she couldn't find a breakthrough for a while, let alone take Chu Yi away.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a cold arrow shot from behind again.

That cold arrow was not aimed at Cheng Zian, she was never the target of these assassins, but she couldn't watch something happen to Chu Yi!

The sound of arrows piercing through the air came quickly, but Cheng Zian was entangled by the assassins in front of him, and all directions around him were blocked by those assassins, not to mention swinging a knife to defend, he just wanted to push Chu Yi away for a while. It is impossible to avoid it!

At the very moment, Cheng Zian raised his hand and pulled Chu Yi into his arms, and abruptly received the arrow with his back.

As the arrow pierced into the flesh, Cheng Zi'an let out a muffled snort, and a little fishy sweetness gushed out of his mouth.She gritted her teeth and swallowed the mouthful of blood, but her warm brown eyes were fierce and fierce like never before. With Chu Yi rushing out of the assassin's siege, he dragged the people and continued to run wildly.

Cheng Zian ran fast, and Chu Yi gritted his teeth and followed desperately—she didn't have Cheng Zian's ability to swing a knife to meet the enemy, so she could only try not to hold Cheng Zian back, although Cheng Zian had already suffered a lot of injuries because of her, But she couldn't let her risk her life here.

The two finally ran out of the range of the archer hiding in the dark. Cheng Zian dragged Chu Yi to run wildly. If he heard the footsteps behind him approaching, he would suddenly turn around and swing two knives.She left as soon as she touched it, but she was not besieged again.

Just like that, the two of them ran out of the cold palace all the way in embarrassment.

Most of the people in the cold palace are under confinement, so there are guards on duty outside the cold palace all year round, but today there was a rebellion outside the palace gate, and the Imperial Forest Army who was on duty outside the cold palace was also transferred out of order.The two ran to the outside of the cold palace with great pains, but found helplessly that there were only two imperial guards left to guard the gate.

"There are assassins!" Chu Yi still shouted.

The two imperial guards also saw the assassins chasing after them, and they rushed up bravely, but Chu Yi still saw no hope.She turned her head to look at Cheng Zian, and found that the look in his eyes was a little slackened due to excessive blood loss.

But even so, Cheng Zian still pushed Chu Yi and said, "Your Highness, you go to the cold palace to find a place to hide."
