Chu Rui carefully pulled Yuan Shanjia and walked to the end of the stairs, but he was blocked by a wall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The walls were covered with moss, visible through the glow of the Night Pearl, and some round-shelled insects crawled around on it.

Chu Rui stroked it on it, startling the insects and flying away.

He then took out a handkerchief and put it on the wall, put his ear on it, and stopped quietly, and after carefully identifying it, he heard no one outside, and then he tinkered with the wall and opened the door.

Chu Rui went out first, holding a sword in one hand and Yuan Shanjia in the other, escorting her forward.

The exit of the secret passage is behind a cave in a rockery, and it is very secret. The cave is about five meters in a zigzag. The entrance to the cave is obscured by a plant that resembles a vine, and long rattan strips hang from top to bottom, blocking the entire entrance.

The vines that opened the entrance to the cave faced a small lake, sparkling and reflecting the moon, glowing with silver. No wonder the stairs up are a little damp, it turns out to be against the lake.

There was only one stone platform at the entrance of the cave that could just be settled, and if the two of them hadn't faintly seen the light, they might have fallen into the water if they were cautious.

There are several raised places around the rockery, which are very cleverly designed to allow people to settle down just right. If you want to go to the shore, you can step on those rocks.

But if you don't know this secret passage and come out of it, where would ordinary people think of stepping on those rocks to go around the rockery to this side near the water? This shows the secret of this secret passage.

Yuan Shanjia observed, this should be the back garden of Yonghua Palace, which is a little remote from the main hall, and it is closer to the back cover room where the palace maids and eunuchs live, but there is no one at this time.

Chu Rui took Yuan Shanjia for a short circle in a twist and turn, and he didn't meet anyone halfway.

All the people in Yonghua Palace were sent out by the Queen Mother on the grounds that they could not be disturbed, leaving only a few henchmen to help, and all the Imperial Forest Army was only guarding outside the Yonghua Palace, and the patrols on the roof also avoided the roof of Yonghua Palace, and they did not dare to disobey the orders of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said that trespassers should be killed, and no one wants to die.

Even the crown prince and queen and the palace concubines were all turned away, and no one dared to let them in.

Looking from afar, you can see a lot of people standing at the gate of Yonghua Palace, there are men, women and some children, no one dares to close their eyes and sleep.

Even the disfigured Eighth Prince of the Empress was standing gloomily beside the Empress and the Crown Prince at this time.

The main hall of Yonghua Palace was brightly lit, and several eunuchs and palace maids quickly went in and out, carrying basins of blood and water, and the atmosphere was quiet and solemn.

Chu Rui took Yuan Shanjia to a window, fortunately, the window was half-hidden, otherwise the cloth used by the palace to wipe the window would not be able to be poked open with his fingers. Through the half-hidden windows, you can faintly see half of the inner sanctum and the screen inside.

The screen shaded the emperor's dragon bed, and bright yellow curtains poured down from the roof, and the sides were bound by ropes.

The screen is somewhat transparent, so through the screen you can vaguely see a group of people surrounding the dragon bed.

The Queen Mother did not go inside, but sat on a heavy wooden chair covered with bright yellow cushions outside with a condensed face.

In front of her lay a man on the ground, tightly bound, with his mouth gagged, unconscious, his eyes tightly closed.

But even so, his appearance can be seen to be very handsome.

The Queen Mother looked at him straight, as if she had seen something vicious, and her eyes were filled with chilling emotions.

Yuan Shanjia looked at the person on the ground, and had some doubts in her heart, whether she had seen this person somewhere, she always felt a little familiar.

When Yuan Shanjia was thinking, a person came out from behind the screen, it was Imperial Doctor Ding.

His dark blue robe was crumpled and not draped at all. The jade pendant on the waist used to press the robe has long been lost in the chaos.

His face was strange and serious, and he was a little sad, he knelt down respectfully when he came out, kowtowed twice, "Please also ask the Queen Mother to give her ministers a guarantee." ”

The Queen Mother's hand on the armrest pinched the armrest, and the green tendons on her head were a little raised, "If Imperial Doctor Ding has any requirements, just say." ”

She knew that this Imperial Doctor Ding was threatening her.

But she can't be angry at this time, even if this Ding Taiyi is an inch, she can't be angry now, only he can save the emperor.

Imperial Physician Ding couldn't care about these things at this time.

What he did this time was already hurtful, if he couldn't keep his family, then what was the use of doing all this?

"Your Majesty's request is very simple, no matter what the result of this time is, please ask the Queen Mother to keep your subordinates' families, and Your Majesty will do her best to complete this meeting!" He raised his head sharply, his eyes looking straight at the Queen Mother.

There was some kind of insistence in his eyes, which made the Queen Mother have a desire to avoid it. But she has been the queen mother for so many years, and her willpower has always been relatively strong, so she endured it at this time.

She knows what matters most to her. Therefore, at this time, you must not offend Imperial Doctor Ding.

What's more, Imperial Physician Ding's family was of little use to her. Even if it fails in the end, it is just a way to vent your anger. When the time comes, Imperial Physician Ding will be dead, so what if she loses her words!

"Hongu agreed!" The Queen Mother squinted and nodded, with some danger in it, "I only hope that Imperial Doctor Ding will do his best to complete this treatment, otherwise even if you don't move your family, you won't be able to get out of it yourself." ”

Imperial Physician Ding replied calmly: "This is nature. After speaking, he continued to look at the Queen Mother, but did not move.

The Queen Mother looked at him a few more times, and said to the person who served her: "Go, prepare paper and pen." ”

So respectfully bowed her head that she didn't dare to look up at all, she had to act as if she hadn't seen anything tonight. She brought a pen and paper, and the Queen Mother wrote down the edict in a few clicks, and at the same time stamped it and handed it to Imperial Doctor Ding.

Imperial Physician Ding took it and looked at it carefully before putting it into his arms.

As for how to deliver it to his family, he naturally has a way.

"So let's get started." Imperial Physician Ding took off his robe, which was a little obstructive outside, tied the sleeves of his somewhat loose clothes with a rope, nodded to the eunuch prepared next to him, and said to the Queen Mother: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to avoid it, so as not to frighten you." ”

The Queen Mother knew what was about to happen, nodded, took a deep look at Imperial Doctor Ding, and went out of the main hall to the side hall to wait for news.

After the Queen Mother left, the eunuch took a knife from the table in the back. The knife was as long as an arm, glowing with a cold silver glow.

Under the light, the faces of both of them were a little treacherous, revealing a sinister aura, as if they were ghost-faced people from hell.

I saw Imperial Physician Ding put a black leg next to the unconscious man and gestured to the eunuch.

The black leg should be the one that the emperor was cut off, and it had been completely invaded by the poison so that it couldn't see its original appearance, as if it had been scorched. (To be continued.) )
