Qingmei firmly blocked the carriage door and said in a panic: "Lady, what should I do?" She also saw that the group of people was not good!

Shen Ruohua looked at the Qinghua Gate not far from the carriage, as long as he could call the guards guarding the door, he could solve the current crisis, but the palace guards would not leave the palace gate, they couldn't see the situation here, so naturally they wouldn't come over to check, and the group of people was already approaching the carriage.

This carriage belongs to the British government, not the one that Shen Ruohua usually uses, and there is no coachman who knows how to do kung fu, the old coachman who drove the car was already so frightened that his face turned pale, trembling, and he couldn't even grasp the reins steadily, and before the group of people climbed into the carriage, they lost the reins and the carriage and ran away.

Qingmei's face turned even pale, there was no coachman, only she and Shen Ruohua were left to face this group of gangsters, what should they do, could they be arrested like this?

Shen Ruohua didn't look at the fierce and vicious person outside the carriage, his mind was racing, and he whispered to Qingmei: "Give me the flint!"

The guards of Qinghua Gate are leaning against the door and taking a nap, it is already the third watch, and the chief guard who patrols has not yet come, they can take advantage of this time to take a good rest. It's just that before they could sleep longer, suddenly a raging fire ignited not far from the palace gate, so they had to notice that the fire was not big, but it would not be able to be extinguished for a while and a half.

The guards couldn't care less about being lazy, and sent a few people to open the palace gate and take a look. When they arrived at the firelight, they saw that the carriage was burned to the point that only the frame remained, Shen Ruohua and Qingmei were standing by the carriage in embarrassment, and the group of people had disappeared.

"Shen, Lord Shen......" The guards looked at Shen Ruohua in surprise, not understanding why she burned her carriage and why she came to the palace gate so late.

Shen Ruohua waved his hand weakly, and said to the guard: "Open the door, I want to enter the palace to see the queen's mother, the mother is going to give birth in these two days, I really can't rest assured." ”

The guards were stunned, they didn't expect Shen Ruohua to come over so late to see the queen, and they didn't dare to stop it, so they escorted Shen Ruohua into the palace.

Qingmei was left at the palace gate, she is not a palace maid, nor is she a high-ranking female official, and she can't enter and leave the palace at will. Shen Ruohua hurriedly rushed into the palace with a few guards, and from the time the group of people appeared, Shen Ruohua had already noticed that the palace had not been taken down by King Dongping, at least at the palace gate, there was no abnormal movement, otherwise the group of people would not be in a hurry to do it before she entered the palace.

The lights in the Dongping palace are bright, the figures are longing, the faces of the little guys who come in and out are all dignified, the red lanterns hanging high in front of the gate have not been removed, and the big red carpet has not been put away, but the festive meaning has disappeared, and there is a sense of slaughter.

In the main hall of the palace, King Dongping sat on the upper throne with a gloomy face, and looked coldly at several powerful people sitting on the lower seat, listening to them. The British Duke was also among this group, and he looked at the night outside with a somewhat uneasy face, Qi Mingrui escaped from the Dongping Palace. According to the instructions of King Dongping, Qi Mingrui and Shen Ruohua were originally going to be eliminated in the Dongping Palace, not only because the two of them were deeply trusted by the Queen Mother, but also because they were too obstructive, and King Kang's matter was a lesson from the past.

Although he didn't like Qi Mingrui and didn't value it, he felt that Qi Mingrui was more and more like the Liang family, with the kind of self-righteous Qinggao that he was most tired of, but after all, it was his son, and Qi Mingxuan had his blood flowing in his body, although he didn't admit it, he couldn't hide Qi Mingrui's excellence.

He hesitated for a few days, and finally agreed to the king of Dongping, and then used Qi Mingrui's seal letter to try to get the northwest army map from the Liang family as a sincerity to follow the king of Dongping. The king of Dongping was very satisfied, and promised him that he would wait for the day of the great treasure, and he and the British government would have the hereditary title of meritorious service from the dragon's merits.

However, no one thought that before the banquet dispersed, Qi Mingrui would disappear! The British Duke waited outside the palace for a long time and didn't see him, and he didn't see him after searching the Dongping Palace, he had already escaped from the palace!

The British Duke looked at the deep night outside, and couldn't hear the voices of several powerful people around him who had already taken refuge in the Dongping Palace, and had an ominous premonition in his heart that Qi Mingrui's escape might become the biggest change in the night.

"The prince went to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Western Battalion, but why hasn't he come back yet, he should come back according to the time!" Hu Zhao, the secretary of the military department, frowned and said.

Linjiang Bogao Songping walked around with a restless expression: "Could it be that there is an accident, Xidaying is so close to Kyoto, it should have come back with soldiers a long time ago......" They have now become grasshoppers tied to a rope in Dongping Palace, and they can only hope for early success, and they can't help but be afraid.

King Dongping finally opened his mouth, but he was very calm: "It's okay, I have already sent people to the cave to observe the void." "The Queen Mother and the Emperor are there.

Everyone's faces calmed down a little, with the Queen Mother and King Dongping in hand, even if they are discovered, the court will be jealous, and there is still hope for success.

A small servant trotted into the main hall, and without looking at a few dignitaries with anxious looks, he walked straight behind King Dongping and whispered a few words in his ear. King Dongping's expression suddenly became much more ugly, and he waved his hand to let him go down, and said gloomily: "The Shen family has entered the palace." ”

This news made several dignitaries in the main hall a little more frightened than Qi Mingrui's disappearance, in order not to startle the snake, King Dongping did not let people do it immediately in the palace, the palace has not been controlled now, and the Shen family has now escaped into the palace, I am afraid that the queen will soon know the situation, and it will be difficult to control the palace again!

The scheming Hu Zhao twitched his face and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, there are still the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and a mere queen can't become a big climate." "Queen Xu's temperament is cowardly, she can't compare to the Queen Mother, and she can't support the overall situation alone.

But the British Duke became more and more uneasy, and for some reason he felt that the situation was getting worse and worse, and a great crisis was coming.

Time passed little by little, and a sound of a change was heard in the quiet Kyoto market: "The fourth watch has arrived......

Zhou Qiyou and the soldiers and horses of the West Battalion still haven't returned, and the King of Dongping and several powerful people have already understood that they must have encountered obstacles and something has changed!

Linjiang Bo Gaosong has turned pale, slumped in the chair for a long time and couldn't speak, without the soldiers and horses of the West Battalion, how can they accomplish great things, can they become traitors like this, and they will be killed at the entrance of the vegetable market? He still remembered that during the rebellion of King Kang, the people in King Kang's mansion were escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market to subjugate the law, and that would be their tomorrow!

King Dongping's face turned pale, he pondered for a moment, and stood up: "Everyone, follow me into the palace!" ”

Everyone was stunned, the British Duke and the Ministry of War Shangshu Hu Zhao took the lead in standing up, they understood the meaning of the King of Dongping, for the sake of today's plan only to enter the palace, with the chips in their hands for the last fight!
