dim lights

The night was getting darker, and the Mizong gnats that flew out when the moon was in the middle of the sky returned to Ji Minggui's palm one after another.These bugs seemed to be different from when they came, and the tip of their tails shimmered like fireflies.

Ji Minggui let the bugs fly, and signaled Shen Tingyun to follow him, and the two walked deep into the imperial city following the light of the bug swarm.

"Golden Moon Pavilion..." the little guard murmured while looking at the plaque in the palace in front of him.

There are guards guarding outside Jinyue Pavilion, as well as patrolling inner prisons.

"It should be the place where the concubine lives." Ji Minggui rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "Interesting, your prince went to pick up the emperor's wife?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shen Tingyun seemed very excited about the prince Qingyu, "Your Majesty has not long been enthroned, and he is still young. There may be someone in the palace, but he has not been sealed. The sixth palace is still empty. Besides The prince is not that kind of person."

Ji Minggui smiled and said: "Could it be that the little emperor has some hidden disease?"

Shen Tingyun stopped Ji Minggui to prevent him from talking nonsense to attract the guards and break into the palace. A few lives would not be enough to kill him.

"Well, I'll help you deal with the guards, and you sneak in." Saying this, Ji Minggui lit a stick of incense and asked Shen Tingyun to cover his mouth and nose.

Shen Tingyun did so honestly, and watched as Ji Minggui put the incense sticks into a hollow metal ball, and rolled the ball from the side of the palace wall to the feet of the guards guarding Jinyue Pavilion.

The guard quickly fell asleep.

"There are still patrolling guards, be careful yourself." Ji Minggui said as he walked in another direction.

Shen Tingyun grabbed the barefoot doctor and asked him what he was going to do.

Ji Minggui giggled twice, and said: "I'll go for a stroll in the palace, if I see your prince, I'll take him away, don't wait for me when I go back."

Shen Tingyun knew that he definitely didn't go to the palace to hang out.Ji Minggui was born in Jianghu, and his whole body is full of mysteries.I knew him because I was in charge of the cabinet when I was still in the dark cabinet, and I accidentally gave him a bite of food on the road, and was cheated by the other party, so I followed him to the capital.

When dating him, Ji Minggui used to make jokes and never talked about his life experience.But when he went to Kyoto to open a medical clinic, he could not afford to eat and had to treat the poor. Shen Tingyun felt that such a person was not a bad person, so he never looked into who this poor doctor was.

After all, everyone has secrets that no one knows, and Ji Minggui didn't know that he was not an ordinary royal guard in the royal mansion, but a secret guard carefully cultivated by the dark pavilion.

The guards outside the Jinyue Pavilion had fallen asleep. Shen Tingyun pushed open the main door and walked in. He didn't have much time. Once the patrolling people found the guards asleep, they would definitely be alert.

After all, Jinyue Pavilion used to be the residence of the concubine, and it was built very large. Gardenias bloomed all over the courtyard, and the fragrance was so strong that it was a bit choking.

Shen Tingyun walked through the front yard and found that the lights in the side hall in the back yard had not been turned off, so he quietly poked over to confirm whether the person inside was really the prince.

Sitting by the window, Qi Shiyu heard rustling voices, thought Yu Hanyi was coming, and said, "Your Majesty, after all, you are the king of a country, so it's better to have some face."

Hearing the voice of the prince, the little guard was overjoyed, stood outside the window and said softly: "My lord, it's me."

Qi Shiyu immediately opened the window, confirmed that the pattern of auspicious clouds embroidered on Shen Tingyun's shoulder was correct, and smiled at him.

"Your Highness, this subordinate is almost dying of worry, are you still laughing?"

Qi Shiyu said leisurely: "I'm not worried at all, because I know that even if the whole world doesn't want to care about it, Ting Yun will still come to save me."

Shen Tingyun's face was hot, please leave quickly.

Qi Shiyu was not in a hurry, straightened his clothes and asked him, "Tingyun, do you know why the emperor locked me here?"

Shen Tingyun shook his head: "Your Majesty wants to move the palace?"

"Yes and no." Qi Shiyu said, "He heard that the king is going to marry the princess, and he was jealous and wanted to trap the king here."

Shen Tingyun was startled.The emperor likes the prince? !

Then he felt unspeakably sad again.Even a ninth-five-year-old like His Majesty has admiration for the prince, so how can I deserve to like the prince?

"Tingyun, I don't know, is this face attractive?"

Shen Tingyun nodded without hesitation.The prince, Yushu Zhilan, is beautiful but does not make people feel distant, so no matter the age in the mansion, they are willing to get close to the prince.

"Then do you like this king too?" Qi Shiyu wrapped his arms around the little guard's neck from behind, pressed his chin against Shen Tingyun's neck, and rubbed against it.

Shen Tingyun seemed to be imprisoned, not daring to move, swallowing unconsciously.

"If you don't say anything, I will take it as your favorite?" Qi Shiyu's voice was like white cotton with needles hidden in it, soft and pointy, making Shen Tingyun's ears numb.

Shen Tingyun closed his eyes, afraid that if he took another look, he couldn't help but attack the prince.

"Is the palace safe?" The inner eunuch's voice came from the courtyard, Shen Tingyun secretly thought that something was wrong, the guard's matter was discovered by the inspecting inner eunuch.

Qi Shiyu's voice turned cold instantly, and he said to the courtyard: "Thanks to His Majesty, this king is still alive and well."

"The servants saw that the guards outside were lazy, so they already reprimanded them, and now they have sent a few more guards to guard them. Your Majesty will come over after handling the affairs in hand. Please rest assured, my lord."

Shen Tingyun couldn't say it well, and turned to look at Qi Shiyu.

"I can't go now." Qi Shiyu smiled lightly and grabbed Shen Tingyun's shoulders, turning him towards him, his eyes squinted, and there seemed to be hooks at the ends of his eyes.

Shen Tingyun was impatient, and said, "My lord, are you still laughing?"

Qi Shiyu apologized casually, and said, "You're kidding, escape with me, would you like to?" He didn't care about alarming Yu Hanyi.

It's wrong for the emperor to imprison the current prince for no reason. As long as he can get out, he won't be afraid of causing trouble.

"Of course!" Shen Tingyun laughed.The prince is not as powerless as he appears on the surface, the Qi family relies on martial arts, even though Qi Shiyu's father had no military power in order to protect himself, but the family tradition has never been left behind.

Shen Tingyun took out the seven-star dagger from his waist and held it in his hand, carefully opened the palace door to find the way for the prince.The eunuch who spoke in the courtyard has long since left, leaving only gardenias all over the ground.

"My lord, where are you going?"

"The main entrance!" Qi Shiyu followed behind Shen Tingyun, not afraid at all.

Shen Tingyun said yes, put his hand on the latch outside the hall, and pulled out the latch very gently without making any sound.

The soldier guarding outside the door sneezed, and Shen Tingyun followed suit.

"For some reason today, I feel very sleepy." The guard said.

The other answered: "There's no other way, it's important to keep the people inside, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, the Zhumen behind him were suddenly pushed away, and the guards had no time to react, only to see a short blade stretched out and a sword to seal his throat.

Seeing this, another guard immediately shouted loudly and ran into the depths of the night. Patrolling guards rushed to support from all directions.

Shen Tingyun threw the fleeing guard to the ground with a leap, sat on his back, gave him a good time, and then turned to look at the prince.

"Well done, but listen to my king now, run!" Qi Shiyu led Shen Tingyun, and ran in the opposite direction from where the guards were rushing.

Both of them are good at lightness kung fu, and they are good at running. They can run a few steps faster than the guards in the palace. A group of people are running wildly on the Zhuque Road, the main road of the imperial city, and there are constant night guards joining the chasing crowd.

Shen Tingyun glanced back, and couldn't help being amused: "My lord, don't we seem to have been kicked out by the big goose at the entrance of the village?"

"Why don't I see you talking so much on weekdays!" Qi Shiyu followed suit, laughed and ran, "We've arrived at the palace wall, prepare to climb over the wall, beware of night patrolling shooters."

"My lord please first, and my subordinates will leave." After finishing speaking, Shen Tingyun turned to the chasing soldiers behind him, and shouted to the crowd, "I used to be a fortified imperial city, but now it's like a leisurely courtyard, we can come and go freely. "

The commander of the guards had arrived and shouted in the crowd: "I'll deal with this arrogant boy, you go and stop the Lord."

"It's just what I want." Shen Tingyun leaped sideways along the base of the wall to the depths of the palace, followed closely by the commander. Shen Tingyun glanced back and saw that the prince had climbed over the palace wall on the ladder, and there were a few crooked people behind him. All the arrows passed by his side, and they couldn't hurt anyone, so they breathed a sigh of relief and turned to fight the commander.

Gao Huan entered the military camp at the age of 14 and entered the palace at the age of 17. He started as an imperial guard and became the commander of the guards for ten years.

The dark pavilion technique is not as fancy as the ones inherited from martial arts in Jianghu. It needs to be steady, accurate and ruthless, and it is best to hit the vital point with one blow. Therefore, once the opponent cannot be controlled for a short time, the moves will gradually weaken.Shen Tingyun knew that he would not be Gao Huan's opponent in a head-on contest, so he used retreat as an advance and kept hiding.

Gao Huan saw the timing right, twined the flowers in the air with two knives, and the sharp blades directly passed through Shen Tingyun's shoulder blades. Shen Tingyun staggered back in pain. It was planted heavily under the willow tree outside the palace wall.
