The palace is built on the mountain, and there is a steep mountain wall behind it, although a secret door is opened, normal travel is not possible.

The chamberlain who received Wei Wuxie's order was a good hand, and he slid down the steep wall deftly, stumbling as he landed.

It rained heavily last night and the mountain roads were slippery.

He steadied himself and quickly ran into the thick night.

Qiao Zhao and Shao Mingyuan naturally didn't sleep at the moment, they all stood by the window and looked at the direction of the palace where Emperor Ming Kang's retreat was located.

The sound of fighting came from the night, standing here as if you could smell the smell of blood, the mountain wind was blowing on the face, although it was the height of summer, it was still cool.

Shao Mingyuan put a coat on Qiao Zhao's body, hugged her shoulders, and asked softly, "Is it cold?"

Qiao Zhao raised his head and smiled: "It's okay, I guess someone is coming." ”

Shao Mingyuan sneered: "The emperor's accident really brought out the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. Now that Jinlanwei, Jin Wuwei, Yulinwei and the internal exercise army under the command of Dongchang are all involved, no matter which side wins, this Qingliang Mountain will be washed in blood. ”

Qiao Zhao looked out the window: "The emperor is obsessed with cultivation and has not established a prince for a long time, and today's fruit is the cause of the past." ”

As the two were talking, Chenguang reported outside the door: "General, Gonggong Wei's subordinates ask to see you." ”

Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Zhao glanced at each other, and there was no surprise.

"Ask him to come in. ”

Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Zhao walked to the flower hall and saw someone coming.

The person who came was in his thirties, his eyes were calm, his expression was resolute, and he knew that he was good at a glance, and when he saw Qiao Zhao and the others, he immediately saluted: "I have seen Master Hou, Mrs. Hou." ”

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what I'm here for?"

The chamberlain immediately said: "King Mu said that he moved the Jinlin Guard and the Yulin Guard, and now they are forcibly breaking into the palace, and we can't stand it for too long, so the factory master ordered me to ask the Hou Ye to help me wait." ”

Shao Mingyuan was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Uh, I don't know how the factory boss wants Benhou to help you?"

The chamberlain glanced at Qiao Zhao quickly: "Mrs. Hou has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, and the factory prince implores Mrs. Hou to go over and strive to make the emperor wake up early in order to stop this palace change." ”

"No!" Shao Mingyuan flatly refused, "There is no need for Ben Hou to say more about the danger of the palace, no matter what, this is a matter between men, how can Ben Hou let his wife be in danger!"

"Master Hou, our factory father said that as long as Mrs. Hou can go, we will definitely put Mrs. Hou's safety first. Even if the palace gate is breached, we will send Mrs. Hou away from the secret gate in time, and we will never endanger her safety. ”

"But sometimes, people are not as good as heaven-" Shao Mingyuan's tone still did not loosen.

He and Qiao Zhao had actually reached an agreement, if Wei Wuxian sent someone to invite him, he would eventually come with him.

In order to be stable in the future, King Rui must win this battle, and it is necessary and worthwhile to take the risk for this.

But now, Shao Mingyuan naturally can't easily agree.

"Master Hou, can you bear to watch Qingliang Mountain flow into a river of blood, and the orthodoxy of Daliang being subverted by rebellious ministers and thieves?"

Shao Mingyuan smiled: "This kind of responsibility can't be afforded, it's still the same sentence, the battle in the world is a man's business, and no responsibility falls on my wife." ”

"Hou Ye's words are good, but once he is won by King Mu, I don't know how many noble ministers will be baptized in blood, and it may not be easy for Hou Ye to keep his family safe......"

The two of you come and go, Qiao Zhao finally spoke: "Tingquan, the emperor is in trouble, as a member of the Great Liang, I should really do my part, just go with this father-in-law to have a look." ”

When the waiter heard Qiao Zhao speak, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the eyes that looked at Qiao Zhao were almost grateful.

The factory has already explained, if he can't invite the champion Mrs. Hou over, then he doesn't have to go back, just cut himself.

"Then I'll go with you. Shao Mingyuan held Qiao Zhao's hand, and when he saw that the waiter's lips moved and he wanted to say something, he said coldly, "This must not be changed." ”

"Okay, just ask Master Hou and Mrs. Hou to clean up and go with the little one. ”

The two of them changed into their shoes and followed the chamberlain to the palace under the cover of night.

Although it was difficult to enter from the back mountain, Shao Mingyuan coped with this kind of thing easily, carried Qiao Zhao on his back, jumped in the mountains and forests like an ape, and didn't wait too long to see Wei Wuxie.

Wei Wuxian smiled with relief when he saw the two of them: "It's finally time for Master Hou and Mrs. Hou, the two of you will come with our family." ”

Under the guidance of Wei Wuxie, Qiao Zhao soon met the face of Emperor Ming Kang.

Ming Kangdi lay quietly on the dragon bed, rolled up layers of veil tents, revealing a pale and blue face.

The man who once stood at the top now looked no different from an ordinary old man who was terminally ill.

Qiao Zhao walked over.

"Madam Hou, do you think the emperor can wake up early?" asked Wei Wuxian worriedly.

Qiao Zhao stretched out his hand and landed on Ming Kangdi's wrist, and he pursed his lips for a long time and was silent.

Wei Wuxian became more and more nervous, and couldn't help but raise his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

King Mu's troubles involved all the Praetorian Guards to fight like this, which he didn't expect.

If the emperor can only wait for two days to wake up, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Time passed little by little, Qiao Zhao withdrew his hand and looked at Wei Wuxie: "Grandpa Wei, how long can it be supported outside?"

Without waiting for Wei Wuxian to speak, Qiao Zhao emphasized, "How long can you resist with all your might?"

Wei Wuxian thought for a moment and said, "At most, it will be around noon tomorrow." ”

"No, not at that time. Qiao Zhao shook his head directly, "I can at most make the emperor wake up at dusk tomorrow, and then I will be helpless in advance." ”

"But—"

"Grandpa Wei, I'm just a newcomer to the medical Tao, not a living immortal. ”

The expression on Wei Wuxie's face changed, and he hesitated for a long time and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then tomorrow at dusk!"

Qiao Zhao said again: "Even so, it still has an impact on letting the emperor wake up early. ”

"What impact?"

"As I said before, even if the emperor wakes up, it will only last a quarter of an hour, and if he wakes up early-"

"Can't you even do it for a quarter of an hour?"

"It's not, but the emperor will bleed to death after the time, and how to explain it to the hundred officials and nobles at that time is still a headache for Gonggong Wei. ”

Wei Wuxie's face changed, but in this situation, there was no other way, so he had to nod: "Let's find a way for this family, now ask Mrs. Hou to apply the needle for the emperor." ”

"Grandpa Wei really thought about it?" Qiao Zhao took out the silver needle and finally confirmed, "If this needle goes down, then there will be no room for change." ”

"Think about it, please ask Mrs. Hou to apply the needle!"

Qiao Zhao nodded, his hand holding the silver needle tightened, and stabbed it into a hole on the top of Ming Kangdi's head.

At that moment, Emperor Ming Kang's eyebrows moved, and Wei Wuxian almost fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that Emperor Ming Kangdi was still a living dead, and then he eased up.
