Chapter 153: Sleepless Nights 3

Concubine Lian returned to her palace, and she dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs and walked into her room by herself. She was very uneasy all day today, she always felt that something bad was going to happen, and the two people in the secret room were the people she was most worried about. Even if those two men weren't dead, she had to make sure they were still in the secret room.

Concubine Lian skillfully lowered the chuang curtain, so that people outside could not see the scene on the chuang. She skillfully opened the secret passage again. Looking at the secret passage that had not changed from her when she left, Concubine Lian was a little relieved. Still, she quickly opened the secret passage and walked inside, and she had to make sure they were still there before she could really feel at ease.

It was difficult for Concubine Lian to walk step by step, her heart was beating fast. The passage was quiet, and there was no sound. Concubine Lian was looking forward to seeing the bodies of Xiao Xiazi and Ma Xiuying, but when she reached the end of the secret passage, she was completely dumbfounded.

At this time, there were no corpses in the secret passage, not even a human figure. If anything, it's that there's a new pile of dirt in the secret room. Seeing such a situation, Concubine Lian was completely dumbfounded, and she fell to the ground.

Soon, Concubine Lian quickly walked to the secret passage, hoping to see Xiao Xiazi and Ma Xiuying still in the secret passage, but to her disappointment, there was no one in the secret passage at all. She didn't have time to take care of the secret passage leading there, she had to get it back quickly. Otherwise, she would be dead. Knowing that Lu Dao would let that man escape, she should have killed that man earlier. But none of this matters now, the most important thing is that she wants to kill both of them before Xiao Xiazi and Ma Xiuying meet the emperor.

"Ma Xiuying, you forced me everything, I saw your son underground, don't hate me." Concubine Lian returned to her room, changed into a clean dress for herself, and threw the dirty clothes and dirty shoes into the secret room, and then she completely sealed the entrance to the secret room. She opened the curtain and slapped the roof three times.

"What do you command?" A black-clothed man appeared in Concubine Lian's room and knelt respectfully in front of Concubine Lian.

"Everyone knows Xiao Xiazi in front of this palace, tell everyone, let them all go out, find Xiao Xiazi as soon as possible, no matter who else is around him, kill him." Concubine Lian commanded coldly. Xiao Xiazi, Xiao Xiazi, this palace originally wanted to leave you a whole corpse, but I didn't expect you to run away, so don't blame this palace for being ruthless.

"The slave knows the way." The man in black agreed and quickly left Concubine Lian's room. The palace maids and eunuchs standing outside the door did not notice that Concubine Lian's room had entered anyone else, let alone that their partners were being chased by Concubine Lian. But even if they know the Tao, it's useless, they can't change anyone's fate.

"Come on, comb your hair for the main palace." After the man in black left, Concubine Lian raised her voice and commanded the people outside. Later, she will go back to the East Palace, so that the emperor can know that she has left. Although the emperor will not care too much, but now is the time for many events, and she can't cause trouble herself.

"Imperial Doctor Lu, please take a look!" Xiao Xiazi took out the token that Xiaoyun had given him just now and asked Lu Ting to register. Lu Ting only glanced at it, then shook his head directly and said: "Father-in-law, you are also an old man in the palace, you just said that the emperor announced the imperial doctor, and now you are holding the princess's token, how can this official register?"

"Imperial Physician Lu is right, it is the negligence of the slave, but the imperial physician can rest assured, the slave is really the imperial physician for Princess Ning, today the prince is newly mourned, everyone is in the East Palace for the prince to keep filial piety, who knows that Princess Lu Daoning is not feeling well, the emperor asked the slave to send the princess back to the Chuyun Palace to rest, and let the slave after the princess returns to the palace safely, immediately Xuan Imperial Doctor to the princess to see a doctor. At that time, the slave and the princess left in a hurry, and the emperor did not give the slave token, but fortunately, the princess also noticed this, so she gave the slave the token of Chuyun Palace. Seeing that Lu Ting wanted to regret not going to Chuyun Palace, Xiao Xiazi hurriedly explained. There are three points of truth and seven points of falsehood in his words, even if Lu Ting is smart, he would not have thought that Xiao Xiazi would dare to lie about the emperor's words.

"Give me the token!" Thinking of the emperor's usual love for Princess Ning, Lu Ting hesitated for a while, but still agreed to go to the doctor, after all, if the princess's illness is delayed, no one can afford to take care of it, and if Xiao Xiazi dares to fake the holy decree, he will go in vain at most. Thinking of this, Lu Ting directly registered the place and time of his visit in the registration book. I went out of the hospital with Xiao Xiazi.

Xiao Xiazi's heart was very anxious, although he carried the medicine box on his back along the way, he walked faster than Lu Ting, who walked empty-handed. Lu Ting looked at Xiao Xiazi's shortcut to Chuyun Palace, and knew that he was not lying, so he was relieved.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that just as they were about to approach Chuyun Palace, several black-clothed killers actually appeared on the road.

The appearance of the killer not only surprised Xiao Xiazi, but even Lu Ting was startled. At the same time, they looked at the killer in front of them in horror.

"You ...... Who are you? Over here...... This is the Imperial Palace...... You are not afraid of being seen......" Although Xiao Xiazi was very scared, he still protected Lu Ting behind him, wanting to protect Lu Ting.

"Father-in-law Xiao Xiazi, Niangniang said that you know too much news, let us see you, and solve it directly. It also includes the people around you to solve it together. So, old lady, I'm sorry. One of the men in black said to Xiao Xiazi and Lu Ting with a long knife in his hand. He then waved his hand behind him, "Find Xiao Xiazi's father-in-law, let's do it!" ”

"You ...... Since you know who I am...... We...... Imperial Doctor Lu was about to leave, and the servants stopped them...... "Looking at the killers who were getting closer and closer, Xiao Xiazi suddenly pushed the medicine box to Lu Ting, wanting to stop those killers himself. However, the medicine box was too heavy, and Lu Ting couldn't run at all with the medicine box, and soon they were surrounded by those killers.

Looking at these killers, Xiao Xiazi closed his eyes in despair, he knew that he was going to die this time, but he didn't expect that he would actually involve Lu Ting and die with him.

"Chief, these people are going to do something, can we save them?" Not far from Xiao Xiazi and Lu Ting, Leling's subordinates discussed in a whisper there.

"Of course you have to save it, but this little Xiazi is Concubine Lian's henchman, is she really willing to kill him? Or are they acting? The eunuch leader said hesitantly. The crown princess only said that she wanted them to save people, but she didn't say who she wanted them to save, but even if that little Xia Zi died, it would only be good for them and there would be no harm, but the old lady was too sorry.

"Boss, they're going to do it, and if they don't make a move, they won't have a chance." A eunuch who had been paying attention to Xiao Xiazi and the two turned his head and asked.

"Do it!" The chief eunuch ordered directly. Even if that little Xia Zi is useless, that old lady doctor is their own person, and they can't die without help.

"Yes!" The eunuchs who had been hiding next to them made a move, their skills were good, and the number of them was not less than those killers, and soon those eunuchs were fighting with the killers.

Xiao Xiazi took advantage of the fact that those killers didn't have time to take care of them, and quickly pulled Lu Ting to a safe place to hide.

Lu Ting looked at the battle in front of him, his face still calm. He didn't say anything, just stayed away from the battle and walked quickly towards the Chuyun Palace.

He is also an old man in the palace, although those people don't say much, but he also understands some things. Just now he wondered how the emperor could suddenly hand over Princess Ning to this little Xiazi. Although Xiao Xiazi is an old man in the palace and knows the entire palace very well, he is a confidant of Concubine Lian, isn't the emperor afraid that Concubine Lian will be unfavorable to the princess? Now, he knows that Xiao Xiazi must know the secret of Concubine Lian's invisible people. Otherwise, she would not have been in such a hurry to make a move on Xiao Xiazi.

Lu Ting followed Xiao Xiazi and didn't speak, the palace looks magnificent, but in fact, this is a big dye vat, and kind people can't survive here. In addition, there is another kind of person who does not live long, and that is a person like Xiao Xiazi who knows too many secrets.

"People are here, kill!" Xiao Xiazi originally thought that he and Lu Ting had escaped, but they didn't expect that the killers were not a group at all, and they had just walked out not far before they encountered another group of killers.

Looking at the killer who approached him again, Xiao Xiazi almost despaired, he had always known about Concubine Lian's group of secret subordinates, but he didn't expect that one day those subordinates would attack him.

Xiao Xiazi didn't need to talk to the killer much, and directly escorted Lu Ting to escape. He couldn't help but secretly feel lucky, although Lu Ting was also a burden, but it was much easier than the unconscious queen mother.

"Chase!" Seeing Xiao Xiazi and Lu Ting running away, the black-clothed killer quickly chased after him. Xiao Xia Zi knew that he and Lu Ting couldn't outrun these people at all, so he handed the medicine box back into Lu Ting's arms again, and found a piece of wood nearby, wanting to stop the killer from chasing Lu Ting.

Lu Ting knew that the purpose of these killers was Xiao Xiazi, and he not only couldn't help him by following Xiao Xiazi, but would also become a burden to him, gritting his teeth, Lu Ting quickly ran towards Chuyun Palace, hoping to find a helper there.

"Bang bang!" Because Lu Ting had been paying attention to the killer behind him, he didn't expect someone to come in front of him, and accidentally collided with Zhang Sheng, who came to find someone.

Lu Ting thought he was dead when he fell to the ground, so he closed his eyes and waited for death. Who knew that he waited for a while and didn't see the killer's long knife slashing on his body, he couldn't help but open his eyes and look ahead.

When Lu Ting saw that the killer in front of him had been surrounded by all the guards brought by Zhang Sheng, he smiled, and at the same time he was relieved. As long as he follows Zhang Sheng, he will be fine. But he hadn't run so hard for a long time, and his body was really a little overwhelmed, so he stayed there and gasped.

"Lord Zhang, there's a killer over there." Seeing that all the killers were caught by the guards in the palace, Lu Ting couldn't help but point to the direction he had just run in and said. If it wasn't for Xiao Xiazi saving him just now, he wouldn't have seen Zhang Sheng at all. Although everything that happened to him tonight was because of this little Natsuko. However, he still hopes that Xiao Natsuko can be safe.

"Everyone is searching for the killer with all their might, and no one must be spared." Zhang Shengyi waved his hand to let all the guards move. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. I don't know who will have the most laugh after tonight.

The guards went in time, and just as Xiao Xiazi fell to the ground and closed his eyes and waited for death, those guards appeared. They saved Natsuko, who was already seriously injured, in time.

When Lu Ting saw the injured Xiao Xiazi, he left and opened the medicine box and began to bandage Xiao Xiazi's wounds. finally let Xiao Natsuko save her life.
