Sensing someone coming in, the emperor turned around, and suddenly a person jumped into his arms.

Bei Gongchen raised his head, happily and slightly complaining, "Brother Emperor, we haven't seen each other for a long time, are you busy recently?"

The emperor touched her head apologetically, "Because many complicated state affairs have not been resolved, so I have been delaying. I know you are feeling uncomfortable during this time. You must be blaming me for delaying for so long, right?"

Bei Gongchen said in a low mood: "It can only be blamed on me not being able to see people, and a heartless man who hides evil intentions came in, and even hurt my father... Hey, let's not talk about this matter, I heard from Zhao Yuan that you were in a bad state when you came here. Terrible and hurt? Where is it? I'll have him come and look at it for you right away."

"No, I'm not injured, don't bother him, but it's true that he's in a bad state, let's sit down and talk about the specific situation," the emperor said.

The two of them sat on the chairs, and there happened to be tea on the table, faintly feeling that this matter might be very unusual, so Bei Gongchen didn't ask his servants to come in to make tea, but poured a cup for the emperor himself, and took care of everything. Asked suspiciously: "What happened?"

The emperor didn't drink tea, sighed and said: "This time, I was planning to go on a patrol in low clothes, and I stopped by to see you. I didn't expect to meet a long-planned thief on the way. We had no choice but to run for our lives. The prime minister also... Alas, an arrow in the chest fell into the river."

Bei Gongchen was taken aback and said, "What! Xin Yansheng?"

The emperor also looked very uncomfortable, and his voice was lowered several times, "I don't know if he is alive or dead now. We have worked hard to escape from the encirclement, but there are too few clues to find out who is behind them. Who wants to rebel, so I can only come to you to discuss."

Bei Gongchen frowned, stroked his chin and thought about it, and said slowly after a long silence: "...This is not a small matter. If you can find out your walking route in advance, you must have a force that cannot be ignored in the court. It may be a partner, you stay here first, I will send someone to the palace to spy on the news, if there is no trap set, I will send you back some time."

"It can only be like this now." The emperor sighed and nodded.

They were about to say something else when the door suddenly opened and a panting guard ran in, "Princess, princess, something is wrong!"

"What's the matter? You're panicking like this." Bei Gongchen frowned.

The guard panicked and said: "There is a group of dark people outside the gate of the palace. The leader ordered us to open the gate and come in to search."

Bei Gongchen slapped the table angrily, "How dare you dare to shout in front of the palace in broad daylight, who is so reckless!"

The guard said: "They said they followed the prime minister's order, and the prime minister also came."

"What did you say? The prime minister's order? He's here too?" Bei Gongchen opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but uttered three questions in a row as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt.

The guard hurriedly said: "It's true, the villain can see clearly from outside, although he doesn't know who the leader is, he dares to stand in the front, without blinking his brows, his face is serious, and his whole body is full of blood." It's definitely not deceiving people if you lose the atmosphere of being in the officialdom."

Bei Gongchen bit his lip, "No, if no one shows up, you can still suspect that a trap was set up. It is obviously not a lie to lead everyone to encircle and suppress the palace so straightforwardly. Could it be... that Xin Yansheng did all this by himself. Ghost?"

The emperor dismissed this conjecture, "Impossible, the arrows have pierced through the back, that is the deadly heart, how can a normal person not die, someone must be fishing in troubled waters."

Bei Gongchen grabbed the emperor's hand and said earnestly: "Now is not the time to identify whether it is real or fake, brother emperor, they are large in number and may be led by someone who seems to be the prime minister, even if I disagree, They will still rush in to search in the end. To be on the safe side, you should leave quickly. Except for Xin Yansheng, I only have General Chen who has made great military exploits for the court. Go to General Chen to take refuge first. I have dealt with these I will make peace with you as soon as I leave.”

"How can I leave you here alone? What if they hurt you." The emperor held her hand tightly.

Bei Gongchen said stubbornly: "If they dare, I will tell them to come and go. Don't think that the guards raised in my palace are all vegetarians."

The emperor asked: "But the gate has been blocked by them, how do I get out?"

Bei Gongchen thought for a while and said: "...Go to the garden. The wall there is not only tall but also wide. It is not easy to enclose the whole section. I will delay in front. You should hurry up at this time. It cannot be temporarily turned back."

There is no other choice, the emperor can only say: "Then be careful, don't force it when the timing is wrong."

"I see, Brother Emperor, hurry up and go." Bei Gongchen nodded and urged.

Watching the emperor leave, only she and the guards were left in the room, sitting on the chair again and absently knocking on the table, not having the guts to speak, the guards just squatted on the ground, anxiously waiting for their master to give an order .

The time seemed to extend infinitely, and the guard felt cold sweat on his forehead, which was as unbearable as every three autumns.

Suddenly, Bei Gongchen slapped the table lightly, and the guard raised his head suddenly in fright, saw her get up from the chair, pulled off the robe on her body, and said calmly: "Is it because I want to rush in?" Why don't you come to search the palace, I don't like what they want! What kind of cat or dog, I want to see what kind of air it is."

Glancing at the guard, he pointed at him, "You, call me as many people as you want, and move a chair by the way."

"Yes... yes." Leaving the room in a panic, the guard disappeared, and Bei Gongchen snorted coldly and stepped over the threshold.

-

Outside the gate of the palace, there was indeed a group of people blocking it, but no one cared about the heavy rain. If it wasn't for the flat terrain and no depressions, the ground they were standing on would almost turn into a vast ocean.

The leader is actually Xin Yansheng, with exactly the same face, and even the style of clothes he usually wears has not changed, it is simply frightening, as if he has just been summoned back from Huangquan Road.

A person behind half leaned over and said: "Prime Minister, they still refuse to open the door to let us go in and search, do you want to..."

As he spoke, he made a neck-scratching gesture, Xin Yansheng looked down at him coldly, the man immediately became timid, coughing awkwardly and backing away.

Turning his head again, Xin Yansheng said to the two guards guarding the gate tremblingly: "You are limited to open the gate of the palace within 3 minutes, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

"Ha, what qualifications do you have to say such words at your own risk?"

The closed door suddenly opened, and a group of people came out. Bei Gongchen sneered and stood tall in front of them. The housekeeper took a chair and placed it in the middle. Erlang sat down.

After taking the tea handed over by the maid, he took a sip slowly and casually returned it to the maid, with one elbow resting on the armrest of the chair, one hand slanted on Erlang's leg, and the corner of his mouth twitched with a strong aura pressure.

"With me sitting here, who dares to take a step forward!"

This aura is so powerful and their identities are so unusual that the people below can't help shrinking back, only one person not only did not retreat but dared to look straight into the line of sight, and said expressionlessly: "Princess, I advise you It's best not to hold on, open the door so that we don't get embarrassed."

There was nothing strange about the voice, and Bei Gongchen felt even worse in his heart, but he still didn't flinch, and sneered, "Xin Yansheng, do you think that you can do whatever you want because you are the prime minister? I have done something so treacherous that you are going to ransack the house." ! The evidence is not sufficient, I will not let you dispose of it."

"You didn't know what you did in the end." Xin Yansheng said.

Bei Gongchen said still: "I really don't know, so I have to trouble you to explain clearly what it means."

"You must pretend that you don't understand, then I'll tear off this layer of tulle." Xin Yansheng pointed at her, and said clearly word by word, "The emperor is going on tour in disguise, and I will work with Mr. Jia beside him." Companion, unexpectedly there were thieves chasing and killing me halfway, I accidentally lost them, and I caught one of the thieves and tortured him to extract a confession, only to find out that you are the mastermind behind the scenes! The emperor is being imprisoned in the palace by you!"

Bei Gongchen was so angry that he slapped the armrest, "You are talking nonsense! I get along well with him on weekdays, how could I have evil intentions towards the emperor's brother?"

Xin Yansheng said dismissively: "Since you are upright and you are not afraid of the shadow, let's go in and search, or are you actually being poked into a soft spot, and you are too guilty to prove your innocence?"

Bei Gongchen was so angry that he was almost speechless, "You...you fake, don't think that you can show off your power in front of me because you have Xin Yansheng's face and his voice, who on earth ordered you to do this?" Dogs do such brazen things!"

"Princess, it's just that you have been exposed for your ugly face. Is this what you are?" Xin Yansheng spread his hands, "I thought I could reason with you by saying that I was a fake and insulted like a dog without evidence. Talking, the result is still unlucky, since you are so arrogant and unreasonable, then I can only be tough."

"Who dares!" Bei Gongchen was so angry that he grabbed the teacup from the maidservant's hand and threw it on the ground below. The hot tea splashed with a bang, soaking Xin Yansheng's face. The tea shot out fiercely in the eyes.

"Anyone who obstructs me deliberately prevents me from investigating the truth, or intentionally kills the emperor, and he shall be beheaded according to the rules! Those who are not afraid of death can just take a step forward."

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate, no one dared to move a step, pulled out the scabbard of the guard beside him, under the pouring rain, Bei Gongchen pointed at the tip of the sword at Xin Yansheng, and said coldly: "I'm not afraid of you, a monster, here Turn black and white, want to go in, yes, just step over the corpse, I want to see if you are qualified!"
