Better to live forever [Rebirth]

As soon as he returned to the Marquis of Zhenbei, Zhu Dingbei immediately arranged for Gu Chao'an to change into the clothes of a mansion soldier. He said to Gu Chao'an, "I can only wrong Uncle Chao'an. Grandpa doesn't know that I will arrest you today." If you take it out of the palace, you can't let him know your real whereabouts in a short time. I will arrange for my close relatives to take care of you, but if there is anything, please be sure to tell them."

"... I've dragged you down."

Gu Chao'an was moved in his heart, he knew the price of Zhu Dingbei's doing this very well.

After he left the palace, the emperor would be furious, and the first person to investigate would be the Zhenbeihou Mansion, which had a close relationship with him.He didn't expect that Zhu Dingbei didn't send Luo Jing out of the capital while Luo Jing hadn't sealed the city gate, but took the risk of keeping him in Zhenbeihou's mansion.In this way, it is natural not to let the old uncle know of his existence, so as not to show his feet when His Majesty the Emperor presses him.

Knowing Zhu Dingbei's good intentions, he naturally had nothing to say.Zhu Dingbei squeezed his hand tightly, smiled and comforted him: "One family doesn't talk about two families, you can live in the mansion with peace of mind, and it will be fine after a while."

He didn't expect it to be so smooth. When Gu Chao'an settled down and returned to his small courtyard, he closed the door and turned around to see Ning Heng waiting for him with a gloomy face.

"How did you come?"

"Ask me?" Ning Heng gritted his teeth, "If it wasn't for the news from the Imperial Forest Army, I would not have known that the Marquis of Zhenbei showed his skills today! How dare you go there by yourself! What will you do if things come to light?! Why? If you don't tell me clearly in advance, you keep me in the dark! If you have an emergency, I don't even have a second hand to save you! You are so mad at me—"

Zhu Dingbei changed his clothes in front of him, threw them into the brazier and burned them, and changed into regular clothes.

Seeing that he was really angry, he said helplessly: "I don't worry about others. And this time it went smoothly beyond expectations. When I went, I found that our plan hadn't been implemented. Someone on the other side took the opportunity to attack my uncle, so I had no choice but to act in advance."

Their original arrangement was to set the harem on fire, lure the emperor away, take advantage of the chaos to take Gu Chao'an out and mix with the Royal Forest Army, and send him out of the palace as a wounded man who had rescued the fire.

Unexpectedly, the emperor had already been entangled by someone, and there was an opportunity for the hidden guards to be repelled by Gu Chao'an, coupled with the opportunity for the Imperial Forest Army to change defenses, it could be said that the right time, place and people were in harmony. Zhu Dingbei sneaked into the emperor's palace without hesitation. Chao An took it away.

Ning Heng said with a cold face: "Do you know how dangerous your actions are just now? Before you returned to the Zhenbeihou Mansion, there was chaos in the palace. You know how afraid I am that you will be trapped in the palace! You know I don't know if I-"

"Aheng, don't be so busy getting angry, I will accept the punishment whatever you want after this matter is over. Now let's talk about the business first. You said there is chaos in the palace, what's going on?"

Seeing that he didn't take his anger into his eyes at all, Ning Heng held his breath in his chest, stared at him with a cold face for a moment, saw that he was not timid when he looked at him, and the anger in his heart was gone. He had no choice but to say sullenly: "It can be seen that you are not the only one who feels that the opportunity is bestowed by heaven. As soon as you left the palace, a few dead soldiers broke into the Yangju Palace and tried to take the ancient army division hostage. But they soon found that he was no longer among them. It was a trap, and we had to retreat immediately. But with so many dead men appearing, the emperor's hidden guards would not be able to find them unless they were all dead. So the two sides started fighting, and His Majesty the Emperor has rushed back. However, those dead men all committed suicide by taking poison , Gu Chaoan's whereabouts become empty."

Zhu Dingbei said with deep eyes: "At that time, I felt that someone wanted to attack us first, so I acted first. I didn't expect... Although the group of dead soldiers did not complete the task, but the emperor fought so vigorously, there must have been many people Have you noticed that he is hiding someone in Zhengyang Palace?"

Ning Heng frowned and said, "This matter is not that simple. If Li Dang's people are behind the attack, they have already learned the news of the disappearance of the ancient army division. I think they will definitely use it and threaten the emperor to do something."

"At this time, there should have been success."

Zhu Dingbei looked out at the sky, and then said: "It's too early now, we don't know what the emperor will do next. The most important thing now is to hide my uncle well, and we must not let him fall into the emperor's hands again." hands."

"No matter what the price, don't you regret it?"

Ning Heng asked seriously.

Zhu Dingbei smiled wryly, "If it matches the Zhu family's glorious status, I will naturally not regret it. But if the emperor really doesn't want to give the Zhu family a life, how can I figure out whether it's worth it or not? All I know is that this There is something I have to do. Ah Heng, things are not at their worst—"

Before he finished speaking, Shui Sheng hurriedly said outside the door: "Master Hou, the palace decree calls you and the old Lord Hou to enter the palace immediately."

Ning Heng grabbed Zhu Dingbei's wrist and shook his head at him.

Zhu Dingbei comforted him: "If the emperor gets angry again, he won't want to kill me and Grandpa in the palace. Don't worry, Grandpa doesn't know about this matter, and I will deal with it well."

"No, I won't let you go."

Ning Heng held his hand tightly, as if if he let go, Zhu Dingbei would never come back.

Shui Sheng said anxiously outside: "Master, the old Hou Ye has already got into the carriage and went to the palace."

Zhu Dingbei's expression changed slightly, he broke away from Ning Heng's hand, and said softly: "Aheng, wait for me to come back obediently, don't force me to knock you out."

"Longevity..."

Ning Heng clenched his fists and watched him walk away quickly.

Imperial City, Zhengyang Palace.

Looking at the empty palace, the emperor felt as if a knife had broken his heart.His eyes were half angry and half sad, but he couldn't say a word.The dark guards have already gone out to look for Gu Chao'an's whereabouts. The four gates of the capital are sealed off, and they are searching from house to house. Not a single corner of the palace has been spared.But so far, he has not received any useful news, and he doesn't even know whether these dead men took Liang Zixi away, or...killed him.

It wasn't until the eunuch Dongsheng hurriedly came to report that Zhenbeihou and his grandfather and grandson had arrived, that he made a move, stepped out of the bedroom quickly, and met the two in the outer hall of Zhengyang Palace.

"Zhu Chengyuan, I'm giving you a chance, where did you take Zixi?"

Before he could sit down, he walked up to the old Hou Ye and questioned him in a cold voice.

Zhu Chengyuan opened his eyes wide in surprise, his face changed suddenly, and he lost his voice and said: "Boy Chaoan disappeared? How is it possible?!" Then he looked at the emperor in astonishment, "He disappeared in the palace, who took him away, you sent Did someone check it out? You are about to be stared at by the person who is watching me, hurry up and chase the robber, if you have anything to say, wait until you find that child!"

Zhu Chengyuan's worry and shock were genuine. He did not conceal the news that he knew about Gu Chao'an's deep trap in the palace, and he did not deny his relationship with Liang Zixi. When he heard that he was kidnapped unexpectedly, he was shocked and surprised Afraid.Because if it wasn't someone from the Zhu family who did it, who could it be?No matter who it is, it must be bad for Gu Chao'an!

The eunuch Dongsheng noticed that the newly conquered Marquis of Zhenbei looked at the two blankly, obviously not knowing about Mr. Liang.

Seeing that the emperor was still looking at him suspiciously, Zhu Chengyuan suddenly lost his mind, and said irritably, "Your Majesty, it's really not me! I'd rather be me! What's going on? There's still something about Chao'an with you." Who knows? Who else wants to attack him?"

The emperor questioned, and the irritable old Hou Ye suddenly said angrily: "Your Majesty, don't you know who I am?! I did it and I did it! But I really didn't do it. I swear in Zong’s name! Tell me what’s going on, I’ll ask someone to help you find someone, you offended so many people, if Chao’an falls into the hands of those people, will there be any way to survive?!”

The emperor gasped, but the breath he held in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he took two steps back somewhat unbearably.

The eunuch Dongsheng was startled and hurried to support him.Emperor Zhenyuan backed away from him, "It's really not you... Then who is it, who could it be..."

He muttered to himself, looked at Zhu Chengyuan, and then at the gloomy bedroom, feeling at a loss for a moment.This time, how much he hoped that the Zhu family would be the one to attack. In this way, he could at least confirm that Liang Zixi's life was safe, but if it wasn't the Zhu family... just as the old Hou Ye thought, those people outside the Zhu family would capture Liang Zixi. Xi will only feel uneasy and kind.

Emperor Zhenyuan managed to calm his mind, and he said to the old Hou Ye: "You go out of the palace now, and bring someone to help me find someone. If you dare to lie to me..." He glanced at Zhu Dingbei who was still kneeling on the ground, He said coldly, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Your Majesty! You—"

Zhu Chengyuan couldn't help but turn pale with shock when he saw that he had to tear his face apart and wanted to take his grandson as a hostage.

However, this time the emperor really didn't care about the feelings of the monarch and his ministers, nor did he care about the achievements of the Zhu family in the past. He didn't trust Zhu Chengyuan, he didn't trust anyone.

No matter how unwilling Zhu Chengyuan was, he could only grit his teeth and leave.

The emperor didn't even look at Zhu Dingbei, and wearily ordered the eunuch Dongsheng to take him into the side hall and imprison him. He sat alone in the Zhengyang Palace, and had to issue orders mechanically, listening to disappointing news again and again.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Zhu Dingbei was probably the one who lived the most comfortable life in the side hall that was sealed off from all sides.He drank a few sips of the cold tea and touched his empty stomach—for today's hijacking, he changed his defense and entered the Imperial Forest Army from early this morning. He didn't eat anything at noon, and he didn't have time to eat at night.

He sat cross-legged in the chair, closed his eyes and thought about resting for a while. He hadn't had an easy day.

After a while, the door of the hall opened and a person walked in.He opened his eyes in a hurry, and saw Ning Heng stepping in by mistake, and pulled him into his arms all at once.

"Are you hurt? Huh?"

He groped Zhu Dingbei carefully, and when he saw him staring blankly at him, with the impatience in his heart, he retreated a little.

Zhu Dingbei laughed, but his eyes were hot. He leaned on Ning Heng's shoulder and asked him in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here?"

Ning Heng hugged him tightly, regardless of whether the palace door was closed, ignored the emperor's eyes and ears, locked him tightly in his arms, and said after a while: "You are here."

You are here, how can I not come?
