The night gradually faded, the sky slowly brightened, and the candles that had been lit overnight in the Huanbi Hall had long been extinguished.

The faint light that penetrated from outside the hall shrouded the people in the hall, reflecting the faces of the people in the hall with different expressions.

The woman in the Holy Sect turned pale, and she jumped towards Zhao Zhen with a little force on her toes on the ground, but as soon as she moved, Liu Congguang had already rushed in front of her and waved his sword to block her.

It is known that the people brought by Wang Shouzhong also immediately fought with the people in the Holy Sect, and the people under Liu Congguang also stepped forward to protect Zhao Zhen and the others.

It's just that the woman was already restless at this time, and after more than a dozen moves, she was stabbed in the left rib by Liu Congguang's sword, and she was captured, and the man dressed as an inner servant in the Holy Sect was also invincible because he was besieged, and he was captured, and the rest of the people in the Holy Sect were also taken down.

In just a few moments, the previous unfavorable situation was reversed.

Wei Yanxiu saw that the people who came with him before were either injured or arrested, and he was entangled by the man in black and couldn't get out, seeing that he was also surrounded, and it was difficult to stand alone, he quietly put his hand into his arms and touched something round, raised his hand and threw it towards the people around him.

Hearing only the sound of "boom", a burst of white smoke rose up, everyone was shocked, hurriedly closed their breathing, covered their mouths and noses, and then their eyes were fascinated by the white smoke, and they all stopped their movements.

When the white smoke cleared, everyone looked into the hall again, and saw that the bound people in the Holy Sect were still there, and the person named Wei Yanxiu was nowhere to be found.

Zhao Zhen's eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself, "Escape technique? The Hidden Gang? "He had heard Zhao Xian talk to him about being attacked overnight, and he had also heard of 'Escape Technique' and 'Hidden Gang', but he didn't expect to see it in the palace today. It seems that in addition to the Holy Sect, the Hidden Gang is also eyeing him.

When the first trace of morning glow appeared in the sky, it was already bright, and the palace people were busy going in and out of the Huanbi Hall to wipe and sweep, and a large group of people in the outer hall or friends or enemies had retreated completely, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a little blood on the ground, who would have thought that what happened here in the second half of the night.

Zhao Zhen and Cao E welcomed the black-clothed man who had saved them into the hall, and said gratefully, "Thank you for the rescue, I don't know what Your Excellency will call you?" ”

The man in black slowly removed the mask and looked at them with a smile, Zhao Zhen was surprised, "Little lady? ”

No wonder when he was in a critical moment, the man in black was so protective of him, but it turned out to be Concubine Yang, the little lady who had always treated him like a parent.

Seeing that Concubine Yang's face was tired, Cao E hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit down, but unexpectedly touched a hand of blood, and asked with concern, "Is Concubine okay?" ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he immediately took a few steps forward, helped Concubine Yang to lean on the couch, and turned his head to Cao E and ordered, "Quickly call the imperial doctor here." ”

Concubine Yang shook her head, as if she was extremely tired, but she still said to herself, "It's okay, a little skin trauma, just apply some golden medicine, no need to alarm others." ”

Cao E knew that Concubine Yang didn't want others to know about herself, so she lowered her head and pondered for a moment, turned around and walked to the corner cabinet, opened the cabinet door and took out a bottle of good healing medicine and white gauze.

Concubine Yang saw that Cao E was smart and careful, and immediately had a good impression of the new concubine Hui.

Concubine Yang took a breath, took Zhao Zhen's hand and said, "Zhen'er, last night the people of the Holy Sect instigated the palace turmoil, obviously trying to kidnap you, although this time it did not succeed, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no next time, according to today's view, the Holy Sect still has remnants in the palace, you must not relax." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, and then asked in surprise, "Little Niangniang knows the Holy Sect?" ”

Concubine Yang was silent for a moment and said, "I knew about it for a long time, and I also reminded you. ”

Zhao Zhen thought sideways for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "It turns out that in the early summer of last year, I sent someone to Tianzhang Pavilion to find the relics of the first emperor, and the black-clothed man who led people to the Huanyi room to inquire about the Holy Sect is Xiao Niangniang?" ”

"It's me, it's inconvenient for me to come forward to inform you at that time, so I can only warn you in this way, Zhen'er won't blame the little lady, right?" Concubine Yang sighed.

"The little lady is grateful for the grace of protection, Zhen'er is still grateful, how can she blame? It's just that Zhen'er is curious, how did the little lady know about the Holy Religion? And when the little lady practiced this skill, but never mentioned it. ”

"This matter is a long story, and I won't be able to explain it for a while, I just remind you that the Holy Sect Saintess is in this harem, and she is the person you need to watch out for the most." Concubine Yang stared at Zhao Zhen and said.

"Little Niangniang, who is the Holy Maiden of the Dao Holy Sect?" Zhao Zhen's heart moved, and he guessed a few points.

At this time, the door of the inner hall was gently pushed open, and a woman walked in with an anxious face, followed by Yan Wenying, who had not been seen for most of the night.

The woman saw Zhao Zhen sitting on the edge of the bed unscathed, and began to put down the heart that had been hanging, just when she heard the two of them talking about the Holy Sect and the Holy Maiden, she coughed lightly, Zhao Zhen looked back when she heard the voice, and when she saw the woman, she hurriedly waved to her.

"Sister Xian, come and sit down here, can you take care of your body?" When Zhao Zhen saw Zhao Xian coming over, he carefully looked at Zhao Xian's face, and saw that her face was as usual and her actions were neat, but she still asked uneasily.

At this time, Cao E had already cleaned and bandaged the wound for Concubine Yang, and when she heard the two talking about this, she knew that it was inconvenient for her to know too much about the harem, so she hurriedly bowed her head and retired.

Zhao Xian gave a salute to Concubine Yang, sat sideways on the chair, and said, "Brother Zhen, don't worry, my senior brother has excellent medical skills, and he recuperates for me every day. ”

He asked again, "The Holy Sect Holy Maiden that the concubine said about it, but that person?" After speaking, he pointed in one direction and said two words with only his mouth.

The person represented by these two words is also the person Zhao Zhen guessed in his heart, seeing Zhao Xian's mouth, he guessed correctly, and looking at Zhao Zhen's expression, it seemed that he was also suspicious of this person, Concubine Yang closed her eyes slightly and nodded slightly.

The hall was silent for a while, and Concubine Yang was silent for a moment, as if she had made up her mind in her heart, and then opened her eyes again, and said word by word, "I have always guessed that she also harmed the first emperor." ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes widened, unconsciously grabbed Concubine Yang's hand, and asked in disbelief, "Why is the eldest lady so guessing?" ”

Concubine Yang looked sad, "When the first emperor was alive, he was originally strong and diligent in political affairs, but later for some reason he became obsessed with the way of cultivation and longevity, the art of alchemy, but then his body gradually weakened until he died. ”

"Alchemy and Cultivation ......" Zhao Xian heard this, but her heart was "groaning", according to her understanding in another life, most emperors in order to seek longevity, eat a lot of pills, and most of them were poisoned to death, because the ingredients of the pills are mostly lead sand, sulfur, mercury and other substances as raw materials, which are extremely toxic.

Concubine Yang took a long breath again, her face showing indignation, "How did you come to those Taoist priests?" I had unintentionally found out that they had colluded with her, but the first emperor was addicted to this, and completely did not listen to the persuasion of others, and as far as I know, the first emperor was also detained by her in his own dormitory, and was not allowed to leave the palace for several days. ”

Zhao Zhen remembered that when he was young, his father loved him the most, but when his father was sick, he went to visit, but he was turned away from the palace, but now he knows what the reason is. "It turns out that this is the truth." Zhao Zhen muttered.

Then Concubine Yang said something even more shocking, "As the emperor, the first emperor originally did not have many heirs, but there were also six imperial children, but they died one after another, and the eldest prince died of illness at the age of nine, which has to be doubtful." If Zhen'er hadn't passed under her name after birth, I was afraid that I would have been poisoned, but fortunately, I was able to raise you with my own hands. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen had already gritted his teeth, and you can imagine how resentful he was.
