Chapter 514: Everyone's Expectation
"Princess, now that the situation is critical, there is no time to hesitate! If we are all trapped here, not only will we not be able to help His Highness, but we will also be bound to him, and those treacherous people will take advantage of this threat. But if you can get out of here and avoid the worries of Your Highness, then there is still hope for everyone to be saved!"
Shen Jun was right. Princess, the lives of the slaves and maids were saved by His Royal Highness, if it were not for His Highness's generosity back then, I am afraid that they would have starved to death on the streets long ago. Since you entered the palace, you have treated us so well, you have never been a princess, and you have never treated slaves and maids as people. Over the years, His Royal Highness has always liked to be alone, and this big palace is always a little deserted, but since you entered the palace, it has been a lot more cheerful and lively. Now, it's time for us to repay the favor!"
Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi had just thought of a way, he immediately vetoed it, only to see Shen Junhe, the only one who remained by his master's side at this moment, and Xunmei and the three of them all rushed up, but they all strongly agreed.
It was as if they didn't realize that if they took the risk and tried it, they would probably die.
According to Cheng Jinzhi's original idea, since he couldn't break through and couldn't wait for foreign help, the only way was to use the cover of night to let the snow or Xunmei around him pretend to be himself, and rush out of the room under Shen Jun's resistance, so as to create chaos to attract the attention of the guards and the forbidden army, and buy her a little time to escape.
The house she was in now was located in the southwest corner of the backyard, and one of the windows in the room was facing a courtyard wall, and only one wall separated her from the palace could leave the palace and escape.
Although those forbidden soldiers were guarding the door, the rest of the house was only patrolling back and forth, and if the voices of the people inside Cheng Jinzhi's house were to attack the west, most of them would be attracted by the illusion created in a short period of time, and they would be negligent in guarding.
In this way, it is logical to free up some time to let Cheng Jinzhi slip out of the house through the window.
Since there is a locust tree with deep roots planted on the courtyard wall, as long as she can go out of the window smoothly, she can use this tree as a focus point to climb upwards and climb out of the wall.
This locust tree has many branches, and even if it doesn't have enough time to escape, it can at least hide in the dense branches and find a hiding place for yourself in the dark night, which can also reduce a lot of danger.
Although there is always a gap between planning and imagination when it comes to action, it is now almost the only way to go.
However, the reason why she hesitated and refused to reveal one or two until now was precisely because she didn't want these people around her to risk it for her.
Since she married into the palace as a concubine, in the past few years, in addition to Gao Heng's husband, whether it is stepping on the snow to find plum blossoms who serve her closely, or Shen Jun who always protects the lord, everyone in the palace is like a family member to her, and they are equally important existences.
She really didn't want to see any of them have any strengths and weaknesses, or accidents.
"Princess, there is no time, if you don't act at this time, you won't have a chance until dawn!
"Yes, you really don't have to worry about us, the person these forbidden forces are targeting you, we are worthless in their eyes, they won't embarrass us!"
"Sister Jin Zhi, go quickly, you must save Brother Gao Heng, we are here waiting for you to come back!"
In her ears was a strong urging voice, like a huge push, forcing her to put away all the worries and sorrows in her heart, take a step, and resolutely step out of this square inch.
However, as Xiao Heng's immature voice came, she only felt that her heart sank suddenly, and a helpless deep pain, accompanied by endless struggle, instantly filled her entire chest.
Why didn't she want to leave with Xiao Heng? Why didn't she want to take everyone to escape from this tiger's den and dragon pool?
However, it is still unknown whether he can escape smoothly, and if he takes the young Xiao Heng with him, he may not only be unable to escape in the end, but will only drag each other down.
She had previously learned from the forbidden army that the prince had set off from Lishan to return to Beijing, and he would arrive in the capital tomorrow to enter the palace to face the saint.
The return of the crown prince not only means that Gao Heng and his situation will be more dangerous, but also indirectly proves that Emperor Zhou has recognized Gao Heng's conspiracy to collude with Nanchu, so he chose to forgive this son who is still in the throne.
Even if the crown prince's original crime made Emperor Zhou feel painful, it was enough to make him lose his position as prince, but compared with Gao Heng's disobedient heart of colluding with the enemy country to plot rebellion, he could still be forgiven after all.
For thousands of years, in the eyes of emperors who have been in their hands and intend to build a foundation for thousands of generations, only imperial power will always be sacred and inviolable, and it will always be above everything.
As far as the crown prince and Empress Zhao are concerned, this moment should be the time when they are most proud of the spring breeze and have long nights and dreams.
Therefore, no matter what, Cheng Jinzhi knew that he would sneak into the palace and meet Emperor Zhou before tomorrow morning.
Only by standing in front of this blinded monarch and tearing apart the true faces of those rebellious ministers and traitors one by one, can it be possible to find a glimmer of life before Gao Heng runs out of ammunition.
Otherwise, even if she chooses to stay here today, how lucky she is to be able to leave her life in the end, and when he waits for the prince to ascend the throne as the emperor, whether it is the Yan Wangfu or all the people and things associated with it, it will also be impossible to escape death.
Thinking about it like this, Cheng Jinzhi finally stopped swaying, dragging mud and water, but exchanged clothes and outfits with Tread Xue.
Stripped of her long skirt and gold and silver jewelry, and put on a relatively simple and action-friendly dress, her whole person became serious.
I saw her tense face raise her eyes, her eyes staring heavily at the face in front of her who was also firm in her faith, and she moved her mouth and stopped.
Looking at each other, recalling the bits and pieces of the past day and night, each of them couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
She raised her hand to caress Xiao Heng's soft face, and just as a crystal teardrop was about to flow from her eyes, she suddenly turned around and took a deep breath, and the fists hidden in her sleeves were clenched painfully because they were too hard.
At this moment, she is willing to work hard with all the hopes of these people behind her.
"When I come back, I will definitely get you out!"
Cheng Jinzhi walked slowly to the window, tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and reached out to the window edge to make a gesture of opening the window, and his heartbeat also increased the beating rate.
"None of you should be missing. ”
There was a heavy answer behind him, but as soon as the words fell, a noise of breaking through the door was also heard.
And the figures outside the window who were originally shaking and patrolling, as expected, rushed in the same direction after hearing the movement.
Cheng Jinzhi's heart trembled, and when he landed, he only felt that his heart had torn countless slender openings, and the pain was unbearable, but he still tried his best not to look back.
She gritted her teeth, opened the window as fast as she could, and when she saw that there was no one around, she turned over and jumped out.
