40. Chapter 40

As soon as the words came out, not only Su Ying, but even Su Xu and Mrs. Su, who came to inquire about it, were stunned.

The crown prince was not in Beijing, the emperor died violently, there was a feudal queen to control the harem, and there was a regent outside to control the government soldiers to blockade Changning, and the two princes' mansions that had already opened the mansion had already been surrounded by the Feng Weizhou faction of the palace corps, in such a situation, Su Yao actually said that he wanted to enter the palace, isn't this crazy!

Su Ying stared at Su Yao's sleeve with wide eyes, hoping that she could calm down and think about it and not be rash, but Su Yao ignored it at all, just turned around and knelt straight down towards Su Xu, raised the brocade bag in his hand, and said: "Three days ago, His Majesty summoned Ah Yao into the palace and gave Ah Yao a key.

"You mean ......"

"That's right, His Majesty passed away suddenly, there was only the queen by his side when he died, and he did not leave a will, right and wrong all depend on the queen's words, it must be unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Prince, the palace left Beijing, I am afraid it will not be easy to return to Beijing. Now there is no palace change in the palace, precisely because the talisman that commands the forbidden army in Beijing is not in the hands of the queen and the regent, if the talisman is found by the queen first, the consequences are unimaginable. Su Yao said word by word clearly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly shouted towards the void, "Ah Jiu!" ”

A beautiful woman dressed in black with her hair tied up quietly appeared in front of everyone.

Su Xu narrowed his eyes, Su Yao still had a shadow guard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which he didn't expect, it turned out that Ye Lin had always been worried about the Su family, was he still monitoring?

Su Yao didn't have time to think about what Su Xu was thinking in his heart, and ordered: "I order you to go to the Huaiyang Eldest Princess's Mansion immediately, and tell Xu Shenyan that I will wait for him at the Dingwu Gate on the north side of the imperial city."

Ah Jiu left in response.

Su Yao made a blessing to Su Xu and Mrs. Su, and said: "Ah Yao has never asked her father and mother to worry about it, and she feels ashamed of the ancestors of the Su family. If A-Yao goes and doesn't return, please forgive her daughter's unfilial piety. ”

"Do you know that this is a difficult and dangerous place, and if you are a little careless, it will be the entire Pingxi Su clan?" Su Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Yao with a stern expression seriously, his daughter has always been unconcerned about herself, and she doesn't care about anything, but at this moment, her weak shoulders have to bear the burden of the fate of the entire Yan Dynasty. She never dodged, nor shirked, Su Xu suddenly felt that she couldn't understand Su Yao. It turned out that she understood everything, but she was just obscure.

Su Yao smiled and said: "Xu Gongzi studied under the Yunyun Mountain, and his skills in medicine and poison are very superb, if A-Yao can't come back, he will definitely disfigure himself, and he will die to show his will, and he will never let the queen catch the handle." At that time, Dad can announce to the world that Ah Yao died of illness, Ah Yao has always been in poor health, so it is so logical that he will definitely not implicate the Pingxi Su family. ”

When Mrs. Su heard her say this plan lightly, she only felt frightened and covered her mouth in disbelief. Where is this what a girl raised in the boudoir can say, disfigured herself to die, why did she come up with such a cruel way to kill herself...... What's more, this is so thoughtful, but it is not chaotic.

Su Xu only felt that his heart was hit by some blunt object, and he was so heavy that he couldn't speak. Well, this is his daughter of the Pingxi Su family, and she has such a backbone, and she will never back down, and she will never be reluctant.

Seeing Su Xu nodded solemnly, Su Yao saluted again and said, "There is one more thing, the prince of the regent has entered Ayao's boudoir twice, but he has not alarmed the guards in the mansion, which shows that there are still weaknesses in the vigilance of my prime minister's mansion, and my father will definitely strengthen the defense of the mansion." Ah Yao went to change her clothes without delay. ”

After finishing speaking, Su Yao turned around and walked towards his boudoir.

Su Ying looked at Su Yao's back in a hurry, and suddenly her eyes were wet. My sister's back is straight, her steps are not disordered, and her back is sparse and calm, as if she really carries the whole world on her shoulders, and if she is a little worse, she will be doomed. She has always felt that her sister doesn't care about everything, and she has to worry about everything, but who ever thought that she was wrong, and her sister understands life better than anyone else.

After returning to the boudoir and quickly changing into a dark suit and pants, Su Yao tied his long hair into a ponytail and then into a bun in front of the bronze mirror, smiled at the delicate face in the bronze mirror, and turned to leave.

Su Yao may not have imagined until she died that one day she would do something to visit the palace at night. This dress was made by her quietly looking for a tailor, and she planned to wear it when Ye Lin ascended the throne and left by herself, but she didn't expect it to be used so quickly. Maybe this set of clothes is her mourning clothes, I just hope that she won't die too miserably, and she can leave a whole corpse for Su Yao.

Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is the mansion of civil officials, there is no shortage of masters, Su Xu can't rest assured that Su Yao broke into the palace alone, and sent the most loyal dead soldier under his command to Su Yao and went with her.

The entire palace has been surrounded by the soldiers of the regent palace, and on the north side of the imperial city, in addition to the Liulan Hall where the fourth prince Ye Ji lives alone, there are still people living in it, and the other palaces are either abandoned, or they live in concubines who have long fallen out of favor, and the defense is relatively weak, and there is still an opportunity to take advantage of it. Moreover, the fourth prince Ye Ji is a person from the East Palace, although he may not be able to accept her, it will not cause new trouble. At this moment, not making extraneous branches is already the best result that Su Yao expected.

Su Yao was carried by the dead soldiers in the mansion with light skills, but he walked faster, and the Xiangfu was not far from the imperial city, and he soon arrived in the north of the city.

Unexpectedly, Queen Feng thought of a place with her, and was afraid that someone would sneak into the palace and ruin her good deeds, so she added a lot of troops in the northern part of the imperial city, just like a copper wall, it is even more difficult to enter than to ascend to the sky.

Su Yao's heart sank when she saw this scene, and the master was still stunned, not to mention that she was a weak female rogue who had no power to restrain the chicken, and it was almost impossible to enter the imperial city without knowing it.

After hiding in a secret place and thinking about it, Su Yao was about to give the order to patrol along the walls of the imperial city, waiting for an opportunity to find the weak point, when he was gently patted on the shoulder.

Su Yao was startled, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat, but when he turned around, he saw that the people who came were Ah Jiu, who was going to the Huaiyang Eldest Princess's Mansion to find someone, and Xu Shenyan, who came over. Obviously, Xu Shenyan also brought the dead soldiers in the house, and they were standing neatly behind the two of them at this time.

As soon as Su Yao was about to speak, he saw Xu Shenyan raise his hand and make a "quiet" gesture, and said in a low voice: "I have already seen it, the Yong'an Gate and Chengtian Gate on the east side of the imperial city, the Mingyou Gate and Jingfeng Gate on the west side, the Shunyi Gate and Changle Gate on the south side, and the Guangyun Gate on the north side are all heavily guarded, you guessed well, only this Dingwu Gate is the weakest defense."

Su Yao's brain almost exploded after hearing this, he raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, and said, "You said the strength of the Dingwu Sect...... The weakest?! ”

How many soldiers did the regent dispatch? How many soldiers are there in the Regent's Palace?!

Su Yao thought about it, and Xu Shenyan had already answered: "Not only the soldiers of the Regent Palace, but also the Yulin Army of the Imperial Palace."

When Su Yao heard this, his head hurt even more, and he was surprised in his heart, and blurted out, "How did the queen mobilize the Yulin Army?!" ”

"The rules set by the founding emperor can be transferred by the emperor and queen. Fortunately, the forbidden army only listened to the dispatch of soldiers, otherwise...... I'm afraid that His Highness has nothing to do, just waiting to be captured. Xu Shenyan paused when he said this, his eyes flashed slightly, and said, "If you are not mistaken, Miss Su is preparing to enter the palace to find the talisman?"

Su Yao nodded, and she was also blunt, she already knew the relationship between the Huaiyang Eldest Princess's Mansion and the East Palace, so she was naturally relieved Xu Shenyan, so she said frankly: "That's true, Your Majesty has entrusted it to me, and I will definitely get the talisman tonight."

Xu Shenyan nodded, didn't say anything anymore, and said in a low voice: "Do you know how to do light work?"

Su Yao's head shook like a rattle, she is the eldest lady of a scholarly family, where will she learn light skills? "No, it won't."

Xu Shenyan frowned when he heard this, no, he still thought ...... If not, how can you get in?

The two were hesitating, and they saw a government soldier rushing to Dadadi's Pegasus, marched to the front of the defense, and said loudly: "The government soldiers of the Chang'an Mansion are shouting in front of the Chengtian Gate, intending to break through the siege city, and the queen mother will send a decree, and the regent Wangfu soldiers will immediately raise troops and go to Chengtianmen with me to support." The rest of the people must not relax their vigilance, and give the rebellious ministers and thieves an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

Rebellious thieves? Su Yao sneered in his heart, such a rebellious act with the intention of usurping the throne, he dared to label others as a chaotic minister and thief, the regent palace is indeed good, and the bad things are also done so frankly. Seeing that the soldiers of the Regent's Mansion left with the cavalry on that horse, Su Yao turned his head to look at Xu Shenyan, "Chang'an Mansion...... Is it Autumn Palace? ”

Xu Shenyan nodded, "When your shadow guard went to look for me, the crown prince of the East Palace, Zhan Shi Cui Shu, was a guest in the mansion, so he sent someone to the Chang'an Mansion to find her to buy us some time." ”

Su Yao nodded, so it was. It turned out that Qiu Yu and the Chang'an Mansion were on the side of the East Palace early in the morning, no wonder she obviously didn't love Ye Lin, but she was so worried at that time. Not to mention being childhood sweethearts who grew up together, even if they are ordinary strategists, they must not want Ye Lin to collapse.

Just thinking about it, I heard Xu Shenyan continue: "It's a pity that although the soldiers of the Regent Palace's palace have withdrawn, there are still so many feather forests left, and Miss Su will not work lightly, it is still very troublesome."

Ah Jiu, who had never said anything, suddenly spoke, "The slave has a way. ”

Su Yao and Xu Shenyan looked at Ah Jiu in unison.

The woman's face as delicate as a rose was as expressionless as ever, and she said word by word: "The head of the feather forest guard, the slave and maid know."

She knows?!

Su Yao had to sigh at the mystery and magic of fate, the Yulin Army was directly under the emperor, and it was not necessarily a sincere rebellion, but it was just a matter of listening. If Ah Jiu could successfully rebel against the head of the Yulin Army's guards, they would have saved a lot of fighting and killing, and they would be able to sneak into the palace quietly.

Seeing that Ah Jiu gradually walked out of the shadows and walked towards the group of Yulin Army, Su Yao secretly told the dead soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Huaiyang Eldest Princess's Mansion to prepare to stop. Ah Jiu can't have an accident, if he can't negotiate, he can only come hard, never give the Yulin Army a chance to breathe, if necessary, all of them will be annihilated, so as not to ventilate the message to the queen, and they can't go to get the talisman. Su Yao is a modern person after all, and he can't help but feel uncomfortable when he thinks that he is very likely to fight and kill for a while.

Seeing her look like this, Xu Shenyan said softly: "The eldest lady grew up in Pingxi, naturally she has never seen such a bloody thing, if the countermeasure fails, she will be called to go down, and when the obstacles are cleared, the eldest lady can reappear."

Su Yao nodded, grateful to Xu Shenyan for his thoughtfulness, and saw Ah Jiu beckoning to this side firmly, Xu Shenyan stepped out, and with a wave of the leader's hand, a team of Yulin put down the weapons in their hands and fell down on one knee.

Su Yao followed Xu Shenyan out of the shadows, and when he passed by the leader, he heard the leader whisper: "Subordinates see the queen mother." Please also ask the mother to ...... in the future Treat Chan well. ”

The Queen? Su Yao shuddered, and reacted that the leader meant that he had recognized Su Yao's identity as Ye Lin's wife, Yu Lin obeyed the emperor's orders, but he didn't say which queen obeyed the order, the first emperor was dead, Feng Weishu was naturally no longer the queen, and their defection was also a noble reason.

It's just, Achan? Is this Ah Jiu's name? This leader, sure enough, was successfully rebelled for the sake of Ah Jiu's face. She always thought that Ah Jiu would not be an ordinary girl, she must have a story in her, but now it seems that it is a big secret.

It's just that this is not the time to dwell on these, Su Yao said "um", and followed Xu Shenyan into the palace gate after his head was bowed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he didn't walk a few steps before he met Ye Ji who came to answer. Su Yao turned his head to look at Xu Shenyan, he was so powerful that even Ye Ji in the palace could be notified? Before he could speak, Xu Shenyan shook his head and explained, "I didn't inform Ye Ji below."

As soon as Ye Ji got closer, he hurriedly said, "Why are you here?" There was no movement at all. I was thinking about whether I could break out of the Dingwu Gate and send a message to the third brother. ”

Only then did Su Yao understand that it was the two people who happened to bump into each other, and when he thought of Ye Lin, he hurriedly asked, "Where did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go, maybe he rushed back to Changning?"

If she goes too far, she is afraid that she will have a lot of dreams at night, although Ye Lin has a shadow guard with her, but if she has the intention of killing after the seal, she will definitely not send out wine bags and rice bags, she is ...... now I am very worried about Ye Lin's safety. Besides, Changning Jingnei is not very peaceful, Mo said that she still doesn't know if she can get out of the talisman by Shun Lì, and even if she gets it, she may not be able to keep it.

"If nothing else, we will arrive in Changning tomorrow morning. It's just that Changning is now controlled by the Yulin Army and the regent Wangfu soldiers, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the third brother has no military power in his hands, so I am afraid that it will not be easy to attack Changning. Ye Ji was worried, and his feet were not idle, and the group followed Su Yao in the direction of Wende Palace.

Su Yao shook his head and said, "As long as he returns safely, I will come to get the talisman tonight, and it will definitely be delivered to His Highness."

Ye Lin seemed surprised, but he didn't say anything, at this time, Su Yao's calmness and bravery, so that he suddenly understood a little, how could a person as cold as the third brother fall in love with this Su Yao.

Fortunately, with Ye Ji, a person who is very familiar with the palace, to guide the way, Su Yao and his party were able to avoid the Mingka secret post in the palace all the way, and the unexpected patrols were also quietly solved by the dead soldiers brought by Su Yao and Xu Shenyan, without alarming the queen, and arrived at the Wende Hall safely.

The first emperor Ye corrected was killed in the Wende Palace, at this time the situation in the palace was tense, the first emperor's dragon body was elsewhere, no one thought that at this time someone would venture back to the Wende Palace, and the outside of the palace was sparsely guarded. Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and called the dead man to go to find out the truth before sneaking into the secret room of the Wende Palace.

The secret room is still the same as it was, and even the coffin of the former crown princess is well displayed in it, and it seems that the seal has not had time to deal with the secret room. As the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, it seems that Ye Xiu is well versed in the temperament of the seal. Su Yao sighed in his heart. Ye Ji and Xu Shenyan were startled when they saw the coffin, and then they shivered, and they didn't know whether they were attacked by the cold air in the secret room, or they were frightened by the body of His Royal Highness Wende.

Su Yao walked directly to the dark grid where the twelve portraits of the emperor and queen were hung, and lightly switched it on, showing the small ancestral hall on that side in front of several people.

Xu Shenyan and Ye Ji saw these twelve portraits, and immediately knelt down and bowed, Su Yao secretly sighed in his heart that the ancients were really pedantic, while walking over, he took out a strangely shaped key from the brocade bag on his waist, opened the first portrait of the founding emperor, and β–‘β–‘ the key through the keyhole, and instantly heard a sound of a mechanism, and slowly stretched out a drawer-sized dark grid from under the portrait.

Ye Ji felt incredible when she saw this, and only then did she see that Su Yao was obviously not very familiar with the palace, but since she entered the Wende Palace, she was like a bag to pick up things, and she was skilled in operation, and she was doubting in her heart, so she saw Su Yao take out a brocade box from the dark grid.

"It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." Su Yao said as he walked outside.

Ye Ji and Xu Shenyan also walked out, but halfway through, Su Yao suddenly stopped again, raised his hand and shook the brocade box, the willow eyebrows twisted into a knot, and raised his hand to open the brocade box.

As Su Yao expected, the brocade box was nothing but a roll of brocade silk, and there were no talismans at all.

Su Yao picked up the brocade silk that was tied by a silk ribbon with a pale face, and a line of words was densely written on the thin ribbon: "Get it and go quickly, my son Ye Lin kisses it."

Go to ...... But where the hell is the Soldier Talisman?!

The faces of the three of them were pale, Su Yao gritted his teeth, and he didn't care about many etiquettes, he lifted his coat, stuffed the roll of brocade silk into the dark pocket on his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go."

Although Ye Ji and Xu Shenyan still had the whereabouts of the talisman in their hearts, they could see Ye Xiu's handwriting, and finally decided to follow Su Yao's arrangement and went out of the door.

It's just that I didn't expect that not long after the group left the Wende Palace, they were bumping into a team of patrol guards head-on, and the patrol leader was cunning, and before he got close, he shouted loudly and led all the patrols around him.

Su Yao, who was walking in front, secretly screamed in his heart, and retreated between the dead soldiers in a few steps, led by Xu Shenyan and Ye Ji, and fought his way out.

Su Yao grew up in a society governed by the rule of law, and had never really seen such a bloody and violent scene, and for a while, his stomach was rolling and he almost wanted to vomit, but he couldn't hold back it, holding his breath and breaking out with his eyes wet. I don't know how many people I killed, I don't know how much blood was stained on my dress, and when they successfully broke through and got rid of the people who were chasing after them, when they were relieved, Su Yao counted the number of people, and suddenly couldn't stand it.

She brought out ten people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, all of them elite, and Xu Shenyan brought fifteen people, plus Ye Ji's nine retinues, it was thirty-four dead soldiers, but now there are only nine left, all of them are covered in blood. Even Ah Jiu was injured, and the blood was dripping down his arm, and there was nowhere to bandage it.

Ye Ji and Xu Shenyan also hung up their colors, although they were slightly injured, they also saw blood, only Su Yao was alone, he didn't know martial arts at all, but he was best protected, and he was unscathed. She knew why, because she was Ye Lin's fiancΓ©e and the future queen, and they wouldn't let her have an accident no matter what.

Su Yao couldn't help it, but the tough battle just now was too tragic, a sense of astringency surged up at the tip of his nose, and his vision gradually blurred. Su Yao kept at his feet, raised his head and sniffed, and held back the tears that were about to erupt. She can't cry, especially at this time, Ye Lin is still in danger, she can't be weak.

After the battle, Queen Feng must have already known that they came out of the Wende Hall again, the queen must have guessed that something important was taken away by them, Changning couldn't continue to stay, Su Yao thought of the Jin Forbidden Garden adjacent to the East Palace, and said in a trembling voice: "We came out of Changning from the Forbidden Garden!" Ah Ji, you should know how to find His Highness, right? Let's go straight to him! ”

Ye Ji nodded, just what he wanted, although it was a little farther away, but it was the safest road.

The group sneaked into the forbidden garden in the dark, I don't know how long they walked, their clothes and cheeks were scratched by branches and trees in different ways, but they didn't care much, until the sky was already slightly white, and a few people were considered to have walked on the official road.

Su Yao has completely lost her body, Su Yao's body is already weak, and she basically relies on Su Yao's will to support her in the second half of the night, and now although Ah Jiu and Ye Ji are supporting her, she obviously feels that these two injured people are also about to run out of body.

Xu Shenyan also felt this sensitively, and simply leaned down and said, "It's better to continue with the eldest lady on your back."

Su Yao didn't care much about the different rules between men and women, in the final analysis, she didn't care about these stereotypes and bad habits as a modern person, so she nodded and leaned down generously.

When the sun was about to rise over the horizon, Su Yao finally heard the sound of Dada's horses' hooves in the distance, and a heroic figure gradually appeared in sight, with his back to the faint morning light, a dazzling purple dress, his clothes were flying, and his black hair was like ink.

This is the crown prince who should have been a hundred miles away, her fiancΓ©, the new emperor of Dayan, Ye Lin.

Su Yao didn't know why, when Ye Lin rode a horse and appeared in a purple dress and ran towards her in the morning light, her nose suddenly became sore, and her heart became extremely soft, and she even wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry.

Su Yao flipped off Xu Shenyan's back, stood still in place, watched Ye Lin get closer and closer, until he turned over and dismounted, his eyes were red and he saw that Jian Jian had not rested well day and night, his expression was almost crazy, he had long lost the breeze of the moon in the past, he pressed her shoulder tightly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Su Yao!" Who taught you to venture into the palace! ”

What if she's hurt, if she's ...... If she...... Damn, he couldn't protect her properly, and even put her at risk!

Su Yao looked at him like this, he only felt that his heart was full of something to overflow, he was still thinking about her, no matter whether he was thinking about Su Yao or him at this time, this person was standing in front of her alive at this time, caring about her safety!

Su Yao actually calmed down, showed a smile that turned everyone upside down, and said arrogantly: "My Su Yao's man is naturally protected by me."
