The sky in Wangjing City was gloomy, and the front of Zhaoyang Palace was covered with overcast clouds.

All of a sudden, the whole Yu country was about to change drastically, and the few insiders in the palace were all panicked.

After giving instructions to her sons and daughters and the palace people, Queen Fang hurried into the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace, which was usually deserted, with the tokens. She suddenly pushed open the heavy wooden window, calmed down, and then picked up a flat white jade bird Whistle, and blew a long whistle towards the sky.

The whistle made no audible sound.

At least no one else in the same palace heard the whistle.

Empress Fang stared at the sky outside the window for a moment, then took a few steps back and stood on the empty floor tiles in the side hall. A cold wind whizzed past her chest, making her heart feel icy cold.

This most honorable woman in the world just stood quietly in the center of the hall with a calm expression, saying that this might be the most difficult moment in her life.

After a while, a gust of wind blew outside the window, and Fang Hou was blown so hard that his eyes could not help squinting. In the blink of an eye, eight figures kneeling on the ground appeared on the brightly lit floor tiles in the hall. Wearing a black cloak, one corner of the cloak is embroidered with a "seal" character with deep black lines.This is Xiao Ronglian's last and most elite force left in Wangjing Imperial City.

Empress Fang was silent for a moment, then raised her hands to the people kneeling on the ground, and asked the leader with a black cloak, "An Yi, what's the situation outside now?"

The leader with the black cloak waved his hand back, and the eight of them stood up in unison without making a sound.He secretly turned around and reported back to Queen Fang: "Your Majesty didn't pass out because of extreme anger, he must have been poisoned."

Empress Fang was a little unsteady, she fell back a few steps, and said in a daze, "Have you been poisoned?"

An Yi continued: "Yes. I have heard about the symptoms of His Majesty when he fainted. If I am not mistaken, the poison Your Majesty was infected with came from the West Sea. It is called 'Thousand Day Dive' and is a chronic □. It is necessary to give a person the secret medicine for three full months. During and after the medicine is administered, the poisoned person looks like an ordinary person, and nothing can be seen from the pulse. The poison will lurk in the human body for three years After three years, once the emotion is too intense, it will be poisoned. After the poisoning, the person will fall into a coma. The coma lasts for more than a hundred days. The body is used to support the medicine, and soon after the person wakes up, the body will be dry and weak. died."

"Based on Empress Dowager Xiao's thinking, His Majesty should also be poisoned by this kind of poison."

Empress Fang thought in a daze, yes, that's about it.

She didn't know when she got rid of Emperor Cheng's control over her and contacted her old department outside, but instead of escaping to contact Xiao's family at the first time, and uniting courtiers to condemn Emperor Cheng, she continued to pretend to be humiliated. He relaxed the enemy's vigilance as if he was imprisoned, and secretly mobilized his confidantes to poison Emperor Cheng. After waiting for three years, he waited for the most suitable time to strike, and calmly dealt them a severe blow.

First, he assassinated the crown prince on the northwest border, as if he had expected to transfer away the only prime minister Xiao You who could control the overall situation after the emperor's fall, and by the way Fang Qiyou, the cavalry envoy who defended Gyeonggi. wait for them.Then he sent people to burn the apse of the imperial palace, and burned down the ice coffin of "that person" placed in the apse, causing Emperor Cheng to fall down in a rage, and all the dragons and dragons in the imperial capital were in chaos. .When the overall situation is certain, let Chengdi wake up and leave a "legacy" to push Xiao Guifei's son to the throne. In the end, the Xiao family can still control the power in the name of supporting the young master.

At that time, Fang Xiao Gaozheng and other aristocratic families in the imperial capital will be trampled under their feet and thus decline.

But now, Fang's family is still at the border, while Lord Xiaohou is in Huaicheng. The real power in the hands of a group of courtiers is still not enough to shake the Xiao family. Once the emperor falls, who else can turn the tide?

I heard An Yi clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Queen Qi, according to the news I received a quarter of an hour ago, Qin Zheng, the deputy Tiqi envoy who was temporarily acting as the Tiqi envoy, was assassinated and seriously injured. Wan Xu took over."

Wan Xu is the son-in-law of the Xiao family.

It appears that things have gone bad to a certain extent.

Next, Empress Dowager Xiao will definitely send someone to seal Zhaoyang Palace, trap her and her two children in the palace, hold the empress hostage to deter the frontier army, and get rid of them directly once they succeed in taking power.

The palace is no longer safe.

Empress Fang's thoughts changed, and she asked in a deep voice: "If you want to bring His Majesty out of Jingren Palace, can you do it?"

An Yi bowed his head and replied: "The first thing Empress Dowager Xiao will do after mastering the defense of the palace is to send troops to defend Her Majesty. If the eight of us go there, although we can break through the heavy defense and take His Majesty away, at that time, Empress, you may be trapped in the palace." It is difficult to get out of Zhaoyang Palace."

Empress Fang just pondered for a moment, and then quickly made a decision: "Don't worry about Jingren Palace anymore, Xiao Shi still dare not do anything to His Majesty for a while, send one of you to take the Fourth Prince away from Concubine Xiao's palace, if she If you ask, give this to her." Queen Fang pulled out the phoenix hairpin from her head with her backhand, and handed it to An Yi, "Tell her, I will definitely keep her son safe, and if you don't want to be used by that woman of the Xiao family, hand her over to An Yi. Me. The rest of you followed me out of the palace from Beiji Gate, and the leader brought the fourth prince to meet me outside Beiji Gate and leave with me."

"Anyi, if you have a channel to spread the news, quickly send a letter to General Fang and Lord Xiao Hou, and ask them to lead troops to the capital to control the situation; If he can contact other people under his command, let them quickly send more people to Wancheng to reinforce the right minister to protect the crown prince."

The eight people headed by An Yi agreed in unison: "Yes."

After dispatching Ba An, Empress Fang took a deep breath, and hurried out of the side hall with her footsteps like the wind. Her luxurious and spacious sleeves fluttered lightly in her hasty footsteps. There is no one in the side hall.

The clouds outside the hall were heavy, covering the sky in the center of the imperial capital in deep and shallow layers. The shadows were cast on the palace that symbolized the highest power, and the faucet outside the hall was covered with a layer of faint gray.High above the sky, strong winds were blowing, and the banners in various parts of the imperial palace were fluttering, as if blowing down the bustling desolation of the place.

Empress Fang urgently called together dozens of people in the palace, glanced sideways at the children standing on her left and right sides, calmed down a little, and said calmly to the people below: "Time is not enough!" There are too many, what I will tell you next is about your life and death, you must listen carefully."

"Now that the queen mother is forcing the palace, she will send people to surround it in no time. Zhaoyang Palace is no longer safe. This palace can't protect you now. It's best for you to collect important things immediately and leave Zhaoyang Palace within half an hour. , go to the Huanyi Bureau and the Dianle Division respectively, and pay attention to cover your whereabouts on the way to avoid people's eyes and ears, after you go, someone will naturally arrange your place."

Empress Fang looked at two of the four confidant ladies beside her, and said indifferently: "Huaxue and Ningshuang, these two groups are handed over to you respectively, and you must protect them. But if any of them If you have a different intention," said Queen Fang, looking down, her voice sank, "Shoot or kill."

Rao Huaxue was extremely calm on weekdays, so there was some anxiety in his eyes: "Master, what about you? What about you and the two little masters?"

Empress Fang said: "If you escaped, the Empress Dowager may not have to search for you to vent her anger, but I cannot stay here."

Huaxue and Ningshuang are not ordinary court ladies, but specially trained martial servants. They are not only tough in mind and humane, but also agile in martial arts.At this time, hearing Queen Fang's meaning, Ningshuang couldn't help but frowned and said: "If the master wants to go, please bring your slaves and Huaxue with you."

Empress Fang shook her head, without further explanation, she just said: "Don't say too much, you guys leave quickly."

When An Ba carried the sleeping Fourth Prince to the Beiji Gate, he saw an ordinary carriage hidden in the shelter outside the palace gate, and the person dressed as a driver with a hat on the front of the carriage was An Yi. .

When An Ba hugged the five-year-old fourth prince into the carriage, he opened the curtain of the carriage, and inside were the empress and princes and daughters who had changed their appearance.When An Ba was about to put down the fourth prince, Queen Fang stretched out her hand and hugged the child.

An Ba raised his eyes slightly and said nothing, then he quickly changed his appearance outside the car, sat next to An Yi and whispered: "Boss, where are we going now?"

Before An Yi could answer, he heard Empress Fang's voice quietly coming from behind the curtain of the car: "Go to Jingfu."

Jing Fu.

Outside the courtyard, there is a cool breeze blowing, dead branches hang down, and the cold water in a small lake outside the curved fence of the 24th Bridge sloshes, with occasional small ripples spreading out in circles, and then gradually returning to silence.

Two tall, handsome men walked slowly side by side on the small road in the mansion, one of them put his hand on the other's shoulder, this natural gesture was slightly intimate.

The taller man tightened his hands slightly, and hugged the person beside him, with a gentle voice: "Jia'er, do you feel better these two days?"

Xue Jia nodded in response, and said with a smile, "I've been fine for a long time, it's because you care too much."

Gu Huaiyu frowned unhappily, stretched out his hand to tighten Xue Jia's fur collar, and then continued to walk with him in his arms: "You burned for several days as soon as you burned, how can you say that nothing happened? Don't be angry with yourself. You don't care about your body, you should pay more attention to your diet, and tell me early if you feel uncomfortable."

Xue Jia turned her face slightly to look at Gu Huaiyu's side face, with a delicate and gentle smile: "Isn't it because you are always by my side? It doesn't matter if I have something, even if I don't care, You have nothing to worry about."

Gu Huaiyu frowned and wanted to be angry, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, so he said: "It seems that I will have to watch you closely by your side in the future, and you will never be able to leave me in the future." .”

Xue Jia smiled and said nothing.

Not in the future, he could not do without this person very early, very early on, every quarter of an hour of his life with this person is full of joy, he just wants to stay by this person's side, keep pace with him, and draw a prison for him .

Just when Gu Huaiyu was holding Xue Jia and was about to walk up to the arch bridge in the middle of the lake, he saw a blur in front of him. A man in a black cloak was already standing on the head of the bridge. The pair of eyes under the hood are particularly deep and deep.

Gu Huaiyu was startled, and subconsciously wanted to protect Xue Jia behind him, but the shoulders under his hands struggled forcibly and leaned towards him.Gu Huaiyu didn't care about anything else, he quickly pulled Xue Jia back a few steps, grabbed Xue Jia's shoulders firmly, and protected him in front of him, then turned his head and looked at the man standing on the bridge over there.

In fact, at this time, Gu Huaiyu had already reacted. With this mysterious figure's ability to appear and disappear, if he really wanted to assassinate the two of them, it would not take any effort at all. They had already died at the hands of this person just now.It's just that he still maintained his vigilance in his heart, and his eyes were vigilant.

He was careless. Recently, there were many things in Beijing, and he didn't think much about his own safety.Now that Xiao Xiang is out of Beijing, even if he dies in the mansion, there may not be someone who will stand up for him.Although using such a master to kill a small retainer of him is suspected of killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, but the heart of defense is indispensable.

Although Gu Huaiyu was well-informed, Empress Dowager Xiao immediately sealed off the palace ban after the incident. The palace change that happened half an hour ago has not been reported yet. He still doesn't know that the sky in the imperial capital is about to change completely.

I saw the black cloak standing there, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Jing, don't worry, I am not an enemy, and Mr. Jing and his wife are harmless."

Gu Huaiyu let go of Xue Jia's hands, frowned and said, "Then may I ask your Excellency?"

Seeing that black cloak raised his hand, he flipped his hand to stand up a black iron order, and said calmly: "Mingguang listens to the order."

Gu Huaiyu was taken aback for a moment, and saw that the small token, the size of a girl's palm, faintly flowed under the skylight, and a "seal" character was engraved on it.That is the general order.

Gu Huaiyu stared at Xuan Tie Ling, as if he understood something, he let go of Xue Jia, took a step to the side, then slowly bent down, folded his sleeves in front of his chest, and hung his forehead on his arms, deeply He bowed down and bowed down, respectfully said: "Ming Guang is ordered."
