I pretend to be affectionate in front of my foe

As soon as these words came out, a rumor gradually spread in the palace that the emperor was dying of illness and was about to die.

When the ministers heard the news, they entered the palace one after another, and knelt in front of Xiao Yiyang's bedroom one by one, begging the heaven to bless the king of the country.

Everyone's attention was focused on the sadness that the king of a country was about to die suddenly, Xiao Yiran waited for the opportunity to join the Xiaoyao army who had sneaked into the palace a long time ago.

Concubine Xiao Gui stood by Xiao Yiyang's clothes in dismay, her eyes were swollen into walnuts, and she knelt by the bed and cried non-stop.

Xiao Yiyang was lying on the huge bright yellow dragon bed, his pale face was in stark contrast to the bright yellow, at first glance he looked like a paper figurine, fragile and thin.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has escaped!" A guard rushed in rashly, knelt in front of Xiao Yiyang's bed and kept kowtowing: "They cooperated with each other and killed many of us."

Xiao Yiran's slightly closed eyes opened instantly after hearing these words, before he had time to speak, he vomited a mouthful of blood as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Guard all the doors in the palace! Don't let them go out!" Xiao Yiyang yelled hoarsely, struggling to sit up, but before he could sit still, he fell down again, his whole body convulsed with anxiety.

Seeing this, Concubine Xiao Gui was so frightened that she hurriedly called the imperial doctor, but was stopped by Xiao Yiyang: "Help me up."

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Xiao Gui's voice was full of tears, she still wanted to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Xiao Yiyang again: "Hurry up and help me up!"

"Yes..." I don't know if it was because of excessive grief, Concubine Xiao Gui felt dizzy as soon as she got up, she tried her best to hold back the discomfort to help Xiao Yiyang up, but at the next moment she suddenly screamed and fell on Xiao Yiyang's lap.

Seeing this, the palace servants helped her up in a panic, but a little palace maid suddenly yelled and stepped back again and again: "Blood...there is blood under your mother's skirt!"

Xiao Yiyang leaned on the head of the bed out of breath, he looked in the direction the maid pointed, and what he saw was a dazzling bright red.

The strong smell of blood hit, Xiao Yiyang retched subconsciously, but only felt a rusty smell in his throat.

"Your Majesty, take care of yourself!" Eunuch Cheng wiped the blood stains on Xiao Yiyang's chin, and said coldly in his ear: "Your Majesty, you and the concubine's child are going first, he is waiting for you underground."

Eunuch Cheng's voice was cold, and he looked at Xiao Yiyang with hatred in his eyes.

In the next second, Xiao Yiyang's mouth was covered with a poisonous handkerchief.He struggled with all his strength, but he still couldn't avoid the handkerchief.

Xiao Yiyang stopped struggling, Eunuch Cheng pretended to wipe his mouth for him, and then helped him to lie down: "Your Majesty, don't get too excited, it's not good for your health, lie down and rest first."

"Come here, take Concubine Xiao Gui back for treatment." Eunuch Cheng called the maid to take Concubine Xiao away as he spoke.

Although Xiao Yiyang was lying down, his eyes were fixed on Cheng Gonggong, he gritted his teeth, but could not make a sound.

After receiving the order, the guards immediately went to the prime minister's mansion, and reported to the prime minister about Xiao Yiran's escape. They surrounded each palace gate and began to search for Xiao Yiran and his group.

The prime minister's power is Xiao Yiyang's greatest support, now that Xiao Yiran intends to rebel, the prime minister and the emperor have become grasshoppers on the same rope.

With the prime minister's order, Xiao Yiran became a traitor and traitor who wanted to usurp the throne, and became the target of the entire palace.

"My lord, what should we do? The gates of the palace are guarded, and most of our people are outside the palace!"

Lie Ren looked at the closely guarded troops around him, and silently drew out his sword to block Xiao Yiran.

"Wait for the opportunity, rush out, and join them."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of patrolling soldiers passed by them, Xiao Yiran quickly dodged and hid in the corner with Lie Ren.

Hearing the footsteps of the soldiers getting farther and farther away, the two hid for a while, seeing that there were fewer guards around, they waited for the opportunity to come out from the corner and walked along the place where there were few people.

"My lord, unless we can go to heaven and earth in this situation, otherwise..."

Lie Ren looked around anxiously, there were guards everywhere, and even more people were sent near the formerly sparsely populated Leng Palace.

Xiao Yiran frowned, observing secretly.

"I just saw someone sneaking in this direction. This is a dead end. They shouldn't be able to get out."

As soon as the words fell, a group of soldiers came towards this side, getting closer and closer to the direction where Xiao Yiran and Lie Ren were.

The soldiers had big knives pinned to their waists, and the ear-piercing sound of sword friction echoed in the palace walls, like a countdown to death.

"When will the people who meet us arrive?" Seeing that the soldiers were about to arrive, Xiao Yiran drew out his sword vigilantly and asked in a low voice.

"It should have arrived long ago, but it hasn't arrived yet, most likely because of an accident." Lie Ren hesitated, and said the worst result: "After we came in, the palace suddenly strengthened the guards. Although the emperor was unable to move, But he has already notified the Prime Minister..."

Before Lie Ren finished speaking, the searchers had already blocked the way out.

"My lord, this is the only way to get to other places. They think they are still here and can't get out."

As soon as the leading man gave an order, the soldiers began to search from corner to corner.

Xiao Yiran held his breath, he stared at the soldiers cautiously, already prepared for the worst.

At this time, he had already been charged with attempting to usurp the throne, and if he was caught, he would probably not survive.

Seeing that the two of them were about to be found, a large hole appeared out of thin air in the corner where they were, in a small area on the ground.

A man with a black cloth covering his face poked his head out of the hole, beckoning to them, "Come in, my lord, come with me!"

Xingfeng's outfit was so strange that he was so frightened that Lie Ren drew out his knife and blocked Xiao Yiran in front of him.

Xiao Yiran, who was protected behind Lie Ren, also looked at him suspiciously.

Seeing the dubious expressions of the two, Xing Feng pulled off the black cloth on his face, and said again: "My lord is me, the son is waiting for you outside the palace!" At the moment Xing Feng pulled off the mask, Xiao Yiran's tense expression instantly loosened, he glanced at Lie Ren, and got into the hole first.

Lie Ren followed closely behind, and the three of them didn't dare to delay for a moment, they raced against time to go out.

"My lord! Look here is a hole! They ran from here!" One of the soldiers found the hole, but it was so small that only one person could enter at a time.

When they chased out along the hole, Xiao Yiran and the three had successfully escaped.

The conditions in the cave were crude, and it was inevitable to be stained with mud and various unknown sundries when passing through it. When Xiao Yiran came out, he had already turned into a clay figurine.

He and Lie Ren are covered in dust all over their bodies. If you don't distinguish carefully, they are no different from beggars on the street. They look completely down and out.

Seeing Xiao Yiran again, Yan Yun's mood was different.

Xiao Yiran was travel-laden, the first time he saw Yan Yun, he was not surprised why he appeared in Wangcheng, but subconsciously arranged his appearance.

"Don't you ask me why I came back?" Yan Yun was the first to ask.

The dirt on his body could not be patted off, as if he was afraid that Yan Yun would see such a slovenly appearance, Xiao Yiran couldn't help taking a step back, and said softly: "I knew you would come."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yiran was still patting the ashes on his body stubbornly, never looking at Yan Yun, as if deliberately avoiding his gaze.

Yan Yun stepped forward, stopped only half a step away from Xiao Yiran, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yiran's face, fixed on Xiao Yiran's face, stared at him intently, and suddenly said without beginning or end: "You've lost weight."

Xiao Yiran froze when he slapped his clothes, he looked at Lie Ren, Lie Ren glanced at him, and ran away with Xing Feng.

"No." Seeing Yan Yun looking at him like this for the first time, Xiao Yiran suddenly became a little flustered, he couldn't help taking a step back, and murmured: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how can you tell if you are thin or not. "
