The person in front of me suddenly appeared without warning, and he was also the eldest prince whom the emperor had always placed high hopes on.

It can be seen how happy the emperor is at the moment: "I knew it, - you will be safe and sound." The emperor's voice was low, obviously afraid of being heard by people outside.

Xie Junnan then stepped forward, because he was concerned about the presence of people outside, so he didn't make a sound, he just cupped his fists at the emperor.

The emperor's smile grew stronger. He put down his pen and approached the two of them. He lowered his voice and said with obvious pleasure, "This secret passage has been sealed for almost 40 years. I never thought it would be opened again."

The eldest prince's gaffe was only for a moment, and he returned to his stern look in the blink of an eye: "Father,

The second brother and the others have already returned, and they can send troops to attack the palace at any time." After a pause, the eldest prince asked: "Is the father all right in the palace these days? ".

"Except for the restriction of movement, everything is fine for the time being."

Xie Junnan was suspicious when he heard this: "Zhuge Wangyan and the others just put the emperor under house arrest and did nothing else?".

The emperor sighed softly: "He wanted to, but he didn't dare."

The eldest prince said: "He is waiting for an opportunity, he wants a legitimate reputation, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone to say, not to mention that once my uncle betrays him, even if he ascends the throne, he will not be able to secure this position."

The emperor's uncle in the mouth of the eldest prince,

Xie Junnan knew that he was the emperor's younger brother. He was also raised by the old matriarch and the old matriarch together with the emperor. He went to play in the mountains and rivers, so his whereabouts... No one knows at all, and this is the reason why Zhuge Wangyan and the others dared not act immediately after they put the emperor under house arrest.

But now...

Xie Junnan shook his head and chuckled.

They don't need to worry too much.

The emperor suddenly sighed softly: "Although I am fine, but the queen...".

The eldest prince's pupils shrank: "How is the queen mother?".

The emperor closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "The queen was poisoned by them and put under house arrest, and now I don't know what to do."

The eldest prince's face was gloomy for an instant, and there was an undisguised killing intent in those piercing eyes.

Xie Junnan reminded the two of them: "Your Majesty, First Prince, time is precious, Your Majesty should evacuate from the secret passage first, the grassroots at the exit have arranged for people to meet them."

The emperor nodded, but he still warned: "Leave a life alive."

The eldest prince was displeased: "Is the father still thinking about the brotherhood?".

"No." The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Keep him alive, I will kill him with my own hands!".

Xie Junnan: "...".

There is something different in the palace, but no one outside knows about it, maybe it's because all this is about to reach a critical moment, so the outside of the palace is also vaguely shrouded in a layer of gloomy and unclear haze.

In the general's mansion of Zhenjun, Ziqing held the letter paper in his hand. He looked solemnly, read the contents of the letter paper carefully, and then handed the letter paper to the candlelight and burned it to ashes.

The man standing in front of the table looked cold and serious, but there was a rather shocking scar on his plain face, which made him a bit more ruthless, but...

But Ziqing got up and approached him: "Let's go, go see my parents and the others."

The man nodded, followed Ziqing to open the door and go out.

In Chen's and Li Mu's yard, Liuli was dressed as a maidservant and Xiaoyue Xiaoliu was working as a female celebrity here. The two little girls were already used to wielding knives and sticks. Also a little absent-minded, a peony has only embroidered leaves, and has already pricked its hands several times.

Chen Shi and Li Mu watched from the side, shook their heads, sighed with a smile and talked more.

When Ziqing strode in, seeing the scene in the room, he seemed to be slightly taken aback. The indescribable warmth passed through his heart quietly, causing his steps to pause slightly.

"Second brother!" Xiaoyue was the first to spot him, threw the things in her hand, and ran towards Ziqing.

Liu Li's back froze, she only lowered her head lower, as if she didn't hear.

Ziqing patted Xiaoyue's head, approached Mrs. Chen and Li Mu, frowning slightly: "Father, Aunt, we have to get out of here."

Everyone in the room was startled, they couldn't even hold the glass, and looked at him.

Chen's face changed, but what he asked was: "Did something happen to your uncle?".

It's not that something happened, it's impossible for the General's Mansion to be unable to protect them, so when Ziqing said this, the first thing that came to Chen's mind was the safety of Wan Tuxiu.

But Ziqing shook his head: "Mother, don't think about it, my uncle and the others are fine, and he also found his uncle, just in case, we have to leave the general's mansion tonight." Ziqing turned sideways, The person behind stepped aside: "His name is Lu Bin, and he was sent by my uncle to deliver a letter to me. He also arranged for us to leave tonight."

After realizing it, Li Mu was about to send someone to invite the old lady over immediately, but he only finished speaking halfway, when the old lady and Nanny Wu appeared outside the door, she asked: "Is Xiaoqi really alright? ".

The old lady Ziqing looked at him and nodded: "My uncle is fine, and I have found him. Now the situation in Beijing is becoming more and more tense, and we should not stay any longer."

The old matriarch nodded: "That's true, no matter how well-protected the general's mansion is, there will always be times when everything is sparse..." And the people in the general's mansion, no matter who they arrest, are their weaknesses.

Chen was slightly panicked: "But where can we go right now? There's already a curfew outside, isn't it a living target for so many of us to go out?".

Standing beside Ziqing, Lu Bin suddenly said, "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince said that there is a secret passage leading to the palace in the Xie residence."

"That's right, I almost forgot about it." The old lady smiled and said, "As I get older, my memory has deteriorated."

Madam Wu was a little worried: "But old lady, isn't the secret path a maze?".

"What are you afraid of?" The old lady smiled and said, "The secret path was designed by me and the old lady together. I can't remember the details, but I still remember the general idea."

Ziqing nodded: "If that's the case, then we...".

"Second Young Master, it's okay, it's okay!" A servant hurriedly ran over from outside the door, and hurriedly said as soon as he entered the door: "Second Young Master, Zhuge Wangyan is here!".

Everyone in the room was shocked.

Ziqing's face also instantly became extremely ugly.

Zhuge Wangyan came here at this time, obviously the person who came was not good!

Taking a deep breath, Ziqing's eyes turned cold instantly, and he told Lu Bin: "I'll go ahead to deal with Zhuge Wangyan, you take my parents and they go first."

"No!" Mrs. Chen hurriedly stepped forward to hold Ziqing back: "Then Zhuge Wangyan was originally a jackal, tiger and leopard, how could you...".

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm sensible." Ziqing patted Chen's hand: "The most important thing right now is that you all be safe first, and besides, I'm not alone. There are guards left by my uncle in this house. nothing will happen".

Chen's face was still full of worry.

Ziqing turned to look directly at Lu Bin: "My parents and the old lady are safe, please."

Lu Bin clasped his fists: "Second young master, don't worry! In the end, the general will definitely protect the safety of the master, wife and others, and will never let him suffer any harm!".

Ziqing nodded, he patted Chen's hand, and touched the heads of the two younger sisters. When he left, he looked at Liuli, and seeing Liuli staring at him, hesitant to speak, Ziqing pursed his lips at her. With a smile, he turned and walked out.

Chen was anxious to follow, but Li Mu reached out and grabbed her.

The old lady persuaded her: "It's time for us to leave now, and we can't let Ziqing worry about us anymore."

When Chen heard this, she only tightly pinched her five fingers.

When Ziqing went to the gate to meet Zhuge Wangyan, there was also someone from the general's mansion who went out at the back door.

In front of the gate of the front yard, the guards gathered, each with their weapons ready for battle. When Ziqing came over, they made a way out on both sides.

The door was not opened, but Ziqing knew there was someone outside, so he didn't open the door when he stepped forward, but through the heavy door, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he could see the person standing outside the door through the door.

This person is Zhuge Wangyan. He is wearing a light yellow brocade suit and a cloak. His handsome appearance is vaguely evil. He is standing here in front of the gate, with the folding fan in his hand beating on the palm of his hand. .

"Prince Yan came to visit late at night, I don't know when?"

Inside the door, Ziqing's slightly high-pitched voice came from a muffled voice.

The folding fan in Zhuge Wangyan's hand stopped. He raised his head and looked at the door: "I'm visiting late at night, and Ziqing treats guests like this? Why don't you open the door and invite me in?".

Inside the gate, Ziqing frowned slightly: "The night is getting dark, and there are still female relatives in the mansion, I'm afraid it's inconvenient. If Prince Yan has something to say, let's just say it like this."

Zhuge Wangyan sighed softly, and there was obviously some helplessness in that laughter: "Is Ziqing afraid of me?".

Ziqing did not return.

The folding fan in Zhuge Wangyan's hand began to tap lightly in his palm again: "Ziqing, you are the first man I've been tempted by in these years."

This sudden confession...

Ziqing's face was gloomy, and he only looked at his fists in his sleeves. He thought of those days in Taocheng Prison, and the conditions that Zhuge Wangyan made for him, and the veins on his forehead could hardly be covered.

Zhuge Wangyan was not angry when he couldn't respond, he just sighed and said: "If I had changed the way back then, maybe you should accept me today."

"Impossible." Ziqing gritted his teeth slightly, and his voice was extremely decisive.

Zhuge Wangyan sighed softly: "It seems that I still understand too late...but..." He raised his voice again: "Ziqing, you are too proud, with your temper, maybe even if you do it all over again... , I will still be the same as before, no, maybe I will be even more unscrupulous..." So speaking of it, I still softened my heart after all.

Ziqing didn't want to hear him say these things: "If Prince Yan is fine, I'm sorry I won't accompany you." Ziqing turned to leave.

"Let's make a deal." Outside the door, Zhuge Wangyan suddenly laughed, and there was an obvious taste of calculation in that laughter: "Give me a chance, and I will help you keep your brother, how about it?".
