Master of Rebirth

Following Zhang Bixian to a remote garden, Zhou Ying ducked into the back of the rockery, and there was actually a hidden space inside.A young man who was still unconscious was leaning against the stone wall with his hands bound behind his back, his head hanging down, and he couldn't see clearly.

"This place was accidentally discovered when I was a guard in the palace when I was young. It has been many years, and few people know about it." Zhang Bixian said with a smile: "Fortunately, there is this place, otherwise there is really no way to hide it." he."

Although she knew that Zhang Bixian would not mistake Wang Qi, Zhou Ying still hurriedly squatted down and pulled the man's hair to confirm.Seeing that it was indeed Wang Qi, Zhou Ying was slightly relieved.

"Where did you find him?" Zhou Ying raised her head and asked.

Zhang Bixian said: "On the way to Lenggong."

Seeing that Zhou Ying untied Wang Qi and removed the cloth that was gagged in his mouth.Zhang Bixian was afraid that Zhou Ying would misunderstand that he was disrespectful to Wang Qi, so he hurriedly explained: "When the subordinates found the prince, he was tied up. After carrying him here, the subordinates were anxious to find the prince, and they were afraid of the prince. When he woke up and saw no one around him, he would call for help, alarming the nearby guards, so he had to gag his mouth."

In fact, Zhang Bixian thought too much, Zhou Ying didn't care about these things, but felt that Zhang Bixian found out that Wang Qi was very strange.He quickly stood up, pulled Zhang Bixian's sleeve and said, "Brother Zhang, tell me how you found Wang Qi."

Zhang Bixian paused for a moment, and then explained what happened in detail.

It turned out that after the explosion and fire in the cold palace, people in the palace were panicked.The Imperial Army and the Habayashi Guards not only had to protect the safety of Emperor Liang, but also stabilized the hearts of the people in the palace, and also organized people to fight the fire, and the busy people were turned on their backs.Although Zhang Bixian has the trust of Emperor Liang, he is not a direct confidant of Emperor Liang after all, so he is naturally not qualified to go to the bedroom for personal protection.He learned that Zhou Ying took people to Lenggong, so he asked the prince to go to Lenggong for help.Unexpectedly, halfway on the way, he accidentally found Wang Qi unconscious in a bush.

"The subordinates know that the prince and the young master have a good relationship, and also know that the prince has been in the inner punishment court, and the young master has had a lot of troubles with you. Fortunately, there was no one in front of him at the time, so the subordinate decided to hide the prince. Here. How to deal with it later is entirely up to Lord Hou to decide." Zhang Bixian said.

Zhang Bixian's words are already very clear. Anyway, the person is here, whether to kill, release or hand over depends on Zhou Ying's meaning.

Wang Qi is now a prisoner of the imperial court, there is no need for Zhang Bixian to take such a big risk to save him.Knowing that he was doing it all for herself, Zhou Ying was very moved.

Patting Zhang Bixian on the shoulder, Zhou Ying said: "Brother Zhang, thank you very much."

"Master Hou, don't say that. When Marquis Pingnan was convicted, if you hadn't tried your best to protect him, his subordinates would have been convicted together. You not only have the grace of knowing you, but also the grace of saving lives." Zhang Bi Xian hurriedly saluted and said: "If you say it is the prince's fate, fortunately, the subordinate happened to pass by that road. If it was a few hours later, at dawn, he would definitely be discovered by the guards in the palace."

Although grateful for everything Zhang Bixian had done, Zhou Ying did not dare to take it lightly.Wang Qi was not tolerated by Emperor Liang, and was very likely to be taken away by Shen Yingjie.Zhang Bixian was able to save him, whether it was a coincidence or someone designed it, it is hard to say.

"Wang Qi, Wang Qi." The most important thing right now is to quickly ask Wang Qi what happened. Zhou Ying quickly shook Wang Qi, trying to wake him up.But Wang Qi didn't respond at all.

Zhang Bixian said: "Master Hou, the prince must have been drugged, and I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while."

Looking at this method, it is in line with Shen Yingjie's usual style, but life is always full of accidents. Zhou Ying once firmly believed that Wang Qi was dead. Now that she has witnessed Wang Qi's "resurrection" with her own eyes, Zhou Ying really dare not jump to conclusions up.

"Brother Zhang, who knows which way you go to Lenggong?" Since Wang Qi couldn't speak, Zhou Ying could only ask from Zhang Bixian.

Zhang Bixian said: "Master Hou, that road is the shortest one from His Majesty's bedroom to the Leng Palace. Unless there are other circumstances, anyone who is familiar with the terrain of the palace will subconsciously choose that road."

At this moment, several thoughts flashed through Zhou Ying's mind.Each one was enough to make him break out in a cold sweat.

The emperor, the crown prince and Shen Yingjie may all be the ones who left Wang Qi there.However, the emperor has been ill in bed for a long time, and after this severe injury, he may not have the extra energy to care about these things.Shen Yingjie was tied up in the palace, and the guards saw him in the cold palace with their own eyes, so there was not enough time.In this way, only the prince has the energy and ability to plan such a good show in the palace.

Besides, Zhang Bixian has been helping to check the guards since he entered the palace, and he went to Lenggong to help out on a temporary basis. He took the initiative to ask the prince for orders, and neither the emperor nor Shen Yingjie knew about it.Perhaps it was the crown prince who tricked Wang Qi away from the Internal Punishment Court.He originally planned to kill Wang Qi and blame Shen Yingjie, but the cold palace suddenly exploded and caught fire, attracting the attention of the entire palace.The prince knew that Zhao Jing was worried about Wang Qi, so he would definitely rush to the Leng Palace immediately. It was already too late to kill Wang Qi and throw him in.So he resorted to tricks and let Zhang Bixian discover Wang Qi.

The prince knew that Zhang Bixian belonged to Zhou Ying, and if he found Wang Qi, he might secretly inform Zhou Ying.In addition, Zhou Ying has always created a face that cannot tolerate Wang Qi outside. If she sees Wang Qi, she will definitely kill her secretly.The purpose of the prince is to use Zhou Ying's hand to get rid of Wang Qi.In this way, whether Wang Qi died at the hands of Shen Yingjie or Zhou Ying, it has nothing to do with the crown prince.If Zhao Jing wanted to hate him, he couldn't blame him.Sure enough, after Zhang Bixian found out about Wang Qi, he really only told Zhou Ying.

If all of this is done by the prince, then it is really a good plan.Zhou Ying sneered in her heart.But if so, who was the bound man that the surviving guards of Huanyiyuan saw in the cold palace?Besides Wang Qi, who else would Shen Yingjie take hostage?Zhou Ying was puzzled.

"Master Hou, are you alright?" Seeing Zhou Ying's uncertain face, Zhang Bixian couldn't help asking worriedly.

After recovering, Zhou Ying said, "I'm fine. Are you sure there was no one around when you found Wang Qi?"

Zhang Bixian was quite sure at first, but now seeing Zhou Ying's serious face, he also hesitated, "When I found Mr. Wang, the first reaction of my subordinates was to check if there were other people nearby. Until I was sure that there was no one, Only the subordinates dare to hide him. However, there are many masters in the palace, many of whom have higher martial arts than the subordinates. If they deliberately hide their tracks, the subordinates may not be able to find out."

"When you found Wang Qi, he was casually left in the grass, so you could see him at a glance?" Zhou Ying continued to ask.

After carefully recalling the scene at that time, Zhang Bixian said: "I can't see it at a glance. The place was remote and it was dark at that time. If you don't look carefully, it's really hard to find it. It's also because the jade pendant accidentally fell into the grass. Only then did I realize that there was a person lying in it. However, when the sky is completely bright, you will definitely be able to see it at a glance. Lord Hou asked this way, do you think that the prince was deliberately thrown there, waiting for his subordinates to find out?"

"It's hard to say now." Everything is speculation right now. There is no evidence and the prince is involved. It is really inconvenient for Zhou Ying to say what he thinks in his heart. He can only say: "After learning that the fake Jinli is Shen Yingjie, we all It was determined that Shen Yingjie tricked Wang Qi away from the inner punishment courtyard. The surviving guards of the Huanyi courtyard also said that when they found Shen Yingjie in the cold palace, there was indeed a man who was tied up in the palace. Since Wang Qi If he didn't die in the cold palace, it means that the man the guards saw was not Wang Qi. But if it wasn't Shen Yingjie, who would abduct Wang Qi from the Inner Punishment Court and throw it in the grass?"

"Master Hou, instead of thinking about it here, we might as well wait for the prince to wake up and ask him." Zhang Bixian said.

Zhou Ying smiled wryly, "I know that too, but when will Wang Qi wake up?"

Perhaps God also understood Zhou Ying's difficulties. As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Qi yelled.The two were overjoyed, and quickly squatted down to see Wang Qi's situation.

"Wang Qi, are you awake?" Seeing that Wang Qi frowned slightly, as if waking up, Zhou Ying quickly reached out and patted his face.

Not long after, Wang Qi finally opened his eyes.He looked blankly at first, only to feel a splitting headache.The scene before coma came into his mind like a revolving lantern, and Zhao Jing and Shen Yingjie appeared in front of his eyes in turn.Wang Qi shuddered, while her body was still numb, her consciousness had a reaction first.

"Lenggong, gunpowder... Stop Zhao Jing from entering the Lenggong... Shen Yingjie..." Although her head was dizzy, her eyes couldn't see clearly, and her mouth was even worse, Wang Qi still subconsciously clung to the person in front of her , an incoherent warning.

Seeing that Wang Qi was like this, and still worried about Zhao Jing's safety, Zhou Ying had mixed feelings in her heart, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Zhao Jing is safe and well."

Hearing that Zhao Jing was fine, Wang Qi finally let go of her tense nerves, let go of Zhou Ying's hand, and limp on the ground limply.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Bixian untied the water bottle from his waist, and said to Zhou Ying: "Master Hou, he will feel better if he drinks some water."

After taking the kettle, Zhou Ying asked Zhang Bixian to help Wang Qi up, and personally fed him some water.After a while, Wang Qi was finally fully awake.

Seeing clearly that the people in front of him were Zhou Ying and Zhang Bixian, Wang Qi was a little surprised.He looked around calmly, and seeing that the people from Zhengxihou's Mansion were not there, he shifted his gaze to Zhou Ying again, his eyes hard to hide his guard.

"This is a cave on a rockery in the imperial palace. It is relatively remote. You were stunned and still in the grass near the cold palace. Uncle Anyang rescued you. In order not to let the guards in the palace find out, he hid you Here." Sitting down opposite Wang Qi, Zhou Ying didn't even try to show off, and asked directly: "Wang Qi, the situation is urgent now. I have a few questions to ask you. I hope you can tell the truth. How did you get out of the internal punishment court?" Why is the one who escaped in the cold palace in the grass near the cold palace?"

Wang Qi didn't answer him, but said: "How is Leng Gong doing now? Where's Ah Man?"

"The cold palace exploded, and more than a dozen guards were killed. Shen Yingjie's body was not found at the scene." Zhou Ying deliberately concealed Zhao Jing's shock because of Wang Qi, and said, "Don't worry, Ah Man is fine. No matter what Regardless of the relationship between Zhao Rui and I, we have the same attitude towards Shen Yingjie. You know this very well. We have confirmed that the explosion in the Leng Palace is related to Shen Yingjie. If you know anything, please tell me."

Although he really wanted to confirm with his own eyes whether Zhao Jing was safe and sound, Wang Qi also knew that he was not allowed to move freely in the palace at this moment.Knowing that Zhou Ying would not appease Shen Yingjie, Wang Qi looked at Zhang Bixian behind him, seeming a little worried.

"Uncle Anyang is one of his own people. If he hadn't sent a letter to Zhengxi Hou Mansion, Zhao Rui would not have known about Shen Yingjie and his son's rebellion." Zhou Yingdao: "You know all this."

Now that Zhou Ying had said so, Wang Qi had no other choice but to explain in detail how she was tricked into the cold palace by Shen Yingjie.

"So, you were indeed taken away by Shen Yingjie." Hearing Wang Qi's words, Zhou Ying frowned.

Wang Qi nodded and said: "That's right. Yesterday, Lord Hou said before he left that he would find a way to rescue me from the Internal Punishment Court. I didn't trust you, so I hid a sky cannon. After Shen Yingjie tricked me into the cold palace, The soaring cannon fell into his hands. He told me about the gunpowder hidden in Lenggong, and then put the soaring cannon into the sky, trying to lure Ah Man over and die together. I couldn't stop him, and was stunned by his medicine again. Later I don't know about it, I'm here after waking up."

"Master Hou, this is not right." After hearing Wang Qi's words, Zhang Bixian said suspiciously: "Shortly after the sky cannon went up to the sky, the guards of Huanyiyuan rushed to the cold palace. They clearly saw Shen Yingjie inside. The subordinates found out Although Wang Gongzi's place is near the Lenggong, there is still a certain distance. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth. It is impossible to return to the Lenggong before the gunpowder explodes. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Shen Yingjie is a scud, There's plenty of time to drop the Prince there and turn back, but why should he do that?"

Zhou Ying looked at Wang Qi and asked seriously, "Can you see that Shen Yingjie has other helpers?"

"No, I only saw him alone." Wang Qi shook her head and said.

Knowing that Wang Qi would not lie, Zhang Bixian said: "Master Hou, do you think the guard in Huanyiyuan may have misread it?"

"Maybe it's us who were wrong. We were calculated by someone with a heart, and we fell into the misunderstanding of preconceived ideas." As if trying to understand something, Zhou Ying's face was already ugly at this moment, and he said in a deep voice: "Maybe we were all deceived, thinking that he It's really the guard of Huanyiyuan. Because there is only one survivor, no matter what he says, there is no proof of death."

After understanding Zhou Ying's words, Zhang Bixian was shocked and said, "Master Hou is saying that there is something wrong with the surviving guard?"

"I have to find that guard quickly." As if unwilling to stop for a moment, Zhou Ying almost jumped up and said to Zhang Bixian, "Go and inform the prince and Zhao Rui, and tell them to be careful."

Zhang Bixian glanced at Wang Qi and said, "What about the prince?"

Zhou Ying obviously forgot about Wang Qi, but he was so preoccupied now that he really didn't have the extra energy to settle Wang Qi properly.

Although he didn't know what they were talking about, Wang Qi knew from Zhou Ying's expression that it must be a very important matter.

"It's important. Master Hou and Uncle Anyang go to work first. It looks safe here, so I'll hide here temporarily." Wang Qi said.

This is also a good way, Zhou Ying sighed, and said: "Now there are guards outside, you don't go anywhere when you stay here. After we finish our work, we will come to pick you up, and then we will find a way to send you out of the palace."

"Thank you, Lord Hou." Wang Qi cupped her hands.

Zhou Ying nodded to him, and hurried away with Zhang Bixian.

Wang Qi sat down leaning against the stone wall again, and the sunlight came in through the gap in the cave. Wang Qi knew that it was dawn, but did he and Zhao Jing really have dawn?

……

At this moment, Zhao Jing has been sent back to the East Palace.

After waving his hands to make the imperial physician and servants retreat, Zhao Rui sat down by the bed, looked at the pale Zhao Jing, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Jing'er, you have to cheer up. If Mr. Wang is here, he definitely doesn't want to see you like this." Zhao Rui persuaded earnestly.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Jing did not respond.Just when Zhao Rui was about to say something more, Zhao Jing murmured: "Father, do you also think Wang Qi is dead?"

"How could it be?" Although Zhao Rui thought so in his heart, he subconsciously denied it.

Zhao Jing stared at the top of the bed with a pair of empty eyes, and his voice became extremely hoarse: "In the end, I killed him. If it wasn't because of me, he wouldn't be like this."

After saying this, Zhao Jing closed his eyes in despair, a tear slid down the corner of his eye and fell into his hair.

In Zhao Rui's memory, Zhao Jing never cried no matter how hard he encountered or suffered.Now that she actually shed tears for Wang Qi, it was obvious that she was really sad.

"I don't know if Wang Qi is still alive, but as long as I don't see the dead body, there is still hope." Looking at Zhao Jing who was crying silently, and thinking of Wang Qi, Zhao Rui felt very uncomfortable.But he knew that if Wang Qi really died, Zhao Jing probably didn't want to live anymore.Zhao Rui sighed, and continued: "Don't blame Marquis Dingbei, he hinted that the Imperial Army informed His Majesty and the Crown Prince that Wang Qi was dead, so it's not a bad thing for Wang Qi."

Zhao Jing still had his eyes closed, and his whole body was not angry at all, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"If you think about it carefully, the emperor will not let Wang Qi go. Even if he escaped in the cold palace, the emperor will not let him go just because he turned a bad luck into a fortune." Zhao Rui looked back, Seeing that there was no one in the room, he whispered in Zhao Jing's ear: "Instead of this, it is better to let the emperor believe that Wang Qi has died in the cold palace, so that the emperor's eyes can be taken away from him. We will find Wang Qi in the future." Qi can also find a way out for him and really save his life."

After hearing this, Zhao Jing finally opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Rui.

"Besides, as a father, I have a feeling that Wang Qi must still be alive." Knowing that there is something in his heart, Zhao Rui pretended to be relaxed and said: "The intuition of being a father has always been very accurate, otherwise it is impossible to meet the evil every time I fall into a desperate situation." Huaji. Wang Qi is a smart man, and he has survived many dangers. As a father, I believe that he will not sit idly by and will find a way to save himself. You have to trust him."

In fact, these feelings are all made up.Let Zhao Rui say with conscience, it was all blown up like that, unless Wang Qi was not in the cold palace at that time, it was impossible for him to be alive.But in order to keep Zhao Jing, he had no choice but to do so.Even if Wang Qi is really dead, he will find a way to let Zhao Jing live on this hope.

"Besides, according to Shen Yingjie's ability, do you think he will be confused because of a few guards? The drug on his body has fascinated the entire Inner Punishment Court!" Zhao Rui continued his efforts and continued: "Before We have seen the corpse with our own eyes, and Shen Yingjie can come back from the dead, not to mention that he has not even seen the corpse. Maybe he deliberately left Wang Qi's robe in the cold palace, just to stimulate you. Now our father and son are tripped Here, he naturally has no energy to deal with him, so he can do whatever he wants."

After hearing this, Zhao Jing's eyes really had hope rekindled. He sat up and said, "Father is right. The son took it lightly and fell into Shen Yingjie's trick. Wang Qi must still be alive."

After saying this, Zhao Jing jumped off the bed, put on his shoes and coat, and went outside.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Rui asked hurriedly.

Zhao Jing turned around and said: "Shen Yingjie sneaked into the palace desperately for revenge. If he is really not dead, he will definitely attack the emperor and the prince. I will protect the prince. As long as Shen Yingjie is caught, he can I know Wang Qi's whereabouts."

After saying this, Zhao Jing left without looking back.Zhao Rui groaned in his heart, but he didn't dare to stop, and hurriedly followed.

After asking the servants of the East Palace, they knew that the prince was taking care of Emperor Liang in the bedroom, so the two rushed over.

In the dormitory, Zhao Jingyan was holding a bowl to feed Emperor Liang medicine, and Zhao Jingyu was holding a handkerchief, ready to wipe the medicine juice overflowing his mouth for Emperor Liang at any time.

"His Royal Highness, the chief guard of the East Palace asked to see him, saying that the surviving guards in Huanyiyuan remembered something important and wanted to tell His Highness face to face. Now, he is already in the side hall." Qin Hui walked in quietly, and said in a low voice. Zhao Jingyan said.

Emperor Liang was in a coma at the moment, and the decoction was not fed much at all. Zhao Jingyan was sweating anxiously, and said angrily when he heard the words: "Aren't Zheng Xihou and Zhao Jing in the East Palace? Is there anything I can tell them."

After saying this, Zhao Jingyan remembered that Zhao Jing had fallen ill because of Wang Qi's death, and Zhao Rui stayed with him every step of the way, just because he was afraid that he would be short-sighted if he couldn't think about it.Now, the two have no time to think about anything else.

"Brother Prince, why don't you go and have a look, I'm here with the emperor." Zhao Jingyu persuaded: "That guard is the only one who survived the cold palace, and he met Shen Yingjie again, which is an important witness .Maybe he really thought of something useful, so he rushed to tell us. Shen Yingjie's body was not found, and I always feel uneasy in my heart."

"Okay." Putting down the medicine bowl, Zhao Jingyan rubbed his sore forehead, and said to Qin Hui with a pleasant face, "There are a lot of things these days, and my father is seriously ill. There are many things, and I hope Eunuch Qin can take care of them. "

Knowing that Zhao Jingyan was tactfully apologizing to himself for his bad tone just now, how shrewd Qin Hui was, he immediately agreed and gave the crown prince a step forward, "The crown prince has spoiled this old slave, your majesty has treated this old slave with as much kindness as a mountain. Serving His Majesty is a slave's duty. Don't worry, the Crown Prince, this old slave will take good care of His Majesty and Fifth Highness."

"Then I will thank Eunuch Qin." Zhao Jingyan was very satisfied. He handed the medicine bowl to Zhao Jingyu, gave a few more instructions, and then got up and left.

When Zhao Jingyan entered the side hall, the chief guard of the East Palace and the guards of Huanyiyuan were already waiting inside.Seeing him come in, he quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Forget it." Sitting down on the seat, Zhao Jingyan asked wearily: "What important things do you guys want to say?"

The head guard hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the matter is of great importance. I really dare not make decisions, so I came here to report to you."

"What's going on?" Knowing that the head guard is not someone who has never seen the world, it must not be a trivial matter to make him so nervous, Zhao Jingyan asked quickly.

Looking down at the guards of Huanyiyuan who were still kneeling on the ground, the chief guard said, "Why don't you hurry up?"

"Your Highness, forgive me." Although the guards of the Huanyiyuan kept their heads down, their mouths were not sloppy. "Actually, I lied. I didn't see Shen Yingjie in the cold palace at all. The guards outside the hall only heard the brothers who entered the main hall shouting "Run quickly", so they ran out subconsciously. Unexpectedly, the cold palace exploded as soon as they ran out of the gate.

Hearing this, Zhao Jingyan's heart sank, and he said angrily, "In other words, Shen Yingjie might not be dead yet! If that's the case, why are you lying?"

"Your Highness, it's not that I lied on purpose, but that I had Shen Yingjie's accomplices at that time, and I really didn't dare to tell the truth." The guard hurriedly kowtowed and said tremblingly: "After the explosion in the cold palace, I didn't immediately faint. Before, there were two people who came here first, one of them was Shen Yingjie, and the other was..."

"Who is it?" Anxious in his heart, Zhao Jingyan couldn't help but bowed forward.

The guard looked up at Zhao Jingyan, his eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent, "It's the King of Hades!"

Before the words were finished, the guards flew towards Zhao Jingyan, and the belt wrapped around his waist turned into a soft sword.

Although Zhao Jingyan has experienced in the army for a period of time, he is still different from soldiers who have experienced many battles.Facing the sudden attack, although the brain had clear instructions, the body was still half a beat behind.Looking at the guard's ferocious face, Zhao Jingyan was stunned on the spot, and he still had fantasies. It turned out that the guard kept his head down, not because of fear, but because he was hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.
