"Li'er, what time is it?" didn't close his eyes, kept staring at the copper kettle dripping, calculating the time the two of them waited in the secret room; There was less and less food and water, but Zuo Zhaoyi did not appear again, Tuoba Jun leaned on Feng Luoli's shoulder and asked a little uncertainly,

Feng Luoli looked at the copper kettle dripping not far away, "It's the third watch!" It's still early, you can sleep a little longer! Feng Luoli said softly, her voice as calm as water was full of the power to reassure Tuoba Jun,

Five days have passed, Feng Luoli calculated, Emperor Taiwu's sudden death, the situation in the imperial court must be extremely tense; Knowing that Tuobajun's heart was swallowed up by this unknown fear little by little, he became more and more uneasy, and all Feng Luoli could do was to constantly comfort him and give him strength.

At the beginning of 452 A.D., Zhongchang served Zongai to assassinate Emperor Taiwu, and he did not mourn secretly, and the prince Tuoba Huang was also buried in the East Palace; Later Emperor loved the edict of Empress Jiao Helian, killed the second prince Dongping King Tuoba Han, and set up the third prince Tuoba Yu as the crown prince, and changed the Yuan Yongping.

Yunzhong Palace: Empress Helian sat on a cork armchair with a worried expression, and the outside of the palace was guarded by heavy soldiers; On that day, Zong Ai forcibly entered the palace and took away the queen's seal, and there must be a big event in the court, but his own dignified mother of a country was grounded here;

"Sister!" Zuo Zhaoyi walked in slowly, and after carefully observing the surroundings, he walked to Queen Helian's side and saluted and sang;

"Sister, why are you here?" Empress Helian hurriedly helped Zuo Zhaoyi up, and asked a little anxiously,

"Although Zongai has selected guards who are not children of the clan to guard here, there are still many loyal and patriotic people among them, and I have the opportunity to come to see my sister under the secret dredge of the patriarch Tuoba Pi!" Zuo Zhaoyi explained as concisely as possible,

"Sister, how is the situation in the palace?"

"Sister, the situation is critical, I'll make a long story short, the emperor and the crown prince are dead, Zong Ai has executed the second prince Tuoba Han to set up the third prince Tuoba Yu as the emperor and change the Yuan Yongping! Not only that, Zong Ai also took the opportunity to execute many loyal ministers and good generals! Sister, now that the comfort of the society is tied to you, you and I both know the character of the three princes; Once Jun'er falls into their hands, the prince's bloodline will definitely be gone, and your and my lives will definitely be lost! ”

When Empress Helian heard Zuo Zhaoyi say this, she was horrified, Zong Ai used her own orders to bring disaster to the country and the people, didn't she make herself a sinner through the ages? "Sister, you have always been smart and witty, and you are a person full of wealth, what do you say your sister should do?" Empress Helian looked at Zuo Zhaoyi and asked,

Zuo Zhaoyi's expression was resolute, and she comforted Queen Helian, "Sister, you don't have to panic!" Then he looked around, and then leaned sideways and whispered in Queen Helian's ear, "Sister! Now, as the queen's concubine, you and I try our best to protect the royal bloodline, and at present, the court is turbulent and the palace is uneasy, and you and I can only survive by working together! ”

Empress Helian looked at Zuo Zhaoyi and nodded vigorously, "Sister, don't worry!" My sister will do her best! Live up to the emperor's grace! ”

Zuo Zhaoyi didn't have any lingering after leaving the Yunzhong Palace, so he hurriedly returned to the Shiqian Palace. After nightfall, Zuo Zhaoyi walked into the imperial circle dressed as a palace maid, and after checking around, she quickly walked into the imperial horse prison where the imperial circle order was located.

The door of the secret room suddenly creaked and slowly opened, Feng Luoli and Tuoba Jun immediately became alert, and they looked at each other and held their breath and didn't dare to make any sound.

"Jun'er, Li'er!" Zuo Zhaoyi's voice sounded in the secret room, and it fell on the ears of the two like a heavenly sound,

Tuoba Jun was just about to run out from behind the last row of shelves, but was grabbed by Feng Luoli, signaling him not to act rashly, Feng Luoli moved to the front row of the shelves alone in the dark, and saw his aunt and a minister-like person appear in the secret room with a servant and a maid,

"Auntie!" Feng Luoli screamed softly, and his figure appeared in front of Zuo Zhaoyi, and then looked at the minister wearing a hood and a dark purple collared robe on Zuo Zhaoyi's side.

"This is the general of the Leping King's chariot cavalry, Tuoba Pi! What about Jun'er? Zuo Zhaoyi saw Feng Luoli's thoughts, and opened her mouth to explain,

"Uncle Huang!" Tuoba Jun appeared in front of everyone, bowed to Tuoba Pi and said,

"Jun'er! You've suffered! Tuoba Pi helped Tuoba Pi up and said with a sad expression,

"Lord, this place is not suitable for a long time! I think it's better to leave quickly! Zuo Zhaoyi suggested meaningfully,

Tuoba Pi nodded, "Quick! You two change clothes with Huangsun and Miss Feng! Tuobapi commanded the servant beside him,

After a while, Tuoba and Feng Luoli changed into the clothes of servants and maids; Zuo Zhaoyi looked at Tuoba Jun and Feng Luoli, with a deep distress and reluctance in her eyes, "Jun'er and Li'er will be safe when they leave here no matter what!" ”

"Jun'er, you take this, what is the situation to use for self-defense, you have to remember that as the grandson of the Tuoba royal family, the prince and grandson of the family are provoking the entire Northern Wei Dynasty on their shoulders at any time, and all the royal blood is important! The Northern Wei Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji is important! Tuoba Pi handed a dagger with a golden sheath inlaid with jasper to Tuoba Pi and said solemnly,

Tuoba Jun took the dagger and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Uncle Huang!" Remember today's teachings! ”

"Good! Let's get out of the palace! Tuoba Pi was very satisfied with the calmness on Tuoba Jun's face, the momentum of thick accumulation and thin hair, and he was worthy of being the emperor's grandson.

Feng Luoli and Tuoba Jun followed behind Tuoba Pi in the clothes of maids and servants, and walked out of the Tian'an Temple cautiously all the way; The palace was very silent, except for the guards of the forbidden army, who were several times more unfamiliar than usual, and there was no one else in sight.

Zhongchang served Zongai removed most of the forbidden guards in the palace, and set up many checkpoints at each palace gate, in order to arrest the emperor Sun Tuoba Jun, who had disappeared these days. Even the general Tuoba Pi, who entered the palace to worship in the name of entering the palace, had to be strictly inspected when entering and leaving every palace gate; In just half an hour's journey out of the palace, it took more than an hour to reach the Chengming Gate of the West Gate of the palace city, and one more step away from this place of right and wrong.

"General! Why did you come out of the wrong door today? A guard dressed as the chief of the guard of the Janissary stopped Tuobapi's car and asked with a bit of inquiry,

"Those who worship the emperor, bow down and introspect, swagger in and out of the main gate without self-control are really polluting the spirit of the emperor! Wait for a little guard chief with no rank to stop the car and ride the general's car, what is the so-called reason? Tuoba Pi's face did not change, he glanced coldly at the chief of the guard who spoke, suppressed everyone with a condescending momentum, and asked with a dignified voice and burning words,

"The subordinates don't dare! It's just that this little brother, with his humble eyes on his face, the emperor has an order, if he encounters a suspicious person, he must be checked and interrogated by Zixin. Acting as an order, there is no intention of offending the general! Seeing that Tuoba Pi was a master who was not easy to provoke, the chief of the guard immediately turned his spearhead and defended Tuoba Pi, who was dressed in servant clothes,

"What's the matter?" A hoarse, domineering voice came from not far away,

Feng Luoli cautiously looked out of the corner of his eye, and there was a familiar man sitting on top of a tall red horse, who often served Zong Ai, Feng Luoli recognized the figure of the murderer who killed the emperor that day, it was him;

Zong Ai rode a horse and approached Feng Luoli step by step, his heart was so nervous that he almost jumped out of his chest, Feng Luoli couldn't help but secretly clench the corners of his clothes, his palms were dripping with cold sweat, and suddenly a soft palm held Feng Luoli's cold hand;

Feng Luoli looked at Tuoba Jun, who was sitting on the wheel like herself, side by side with her; I saw that his expression was calm, one hand was holding Feng Luoli tightly, and the other hand was pressed on the golden sheath dagger; At this moment, Tuoba Jun's god-like appearance was deeply imprinted in Feng Luoli's heart, and he was not as afraid of death as Fang Cai.

"Report! Da Sima, the secret room of the apse of Tian'an found the grandson of the emperor! "Suddenly, a forbidden army ran to Zongai's horse to report,

Zong Ai's eyes sank, and the tyrannical aura immediately rose, grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards the palace. Feng Luoli's hanging heart was put down, and then Tuoba Jun's expression eased a lot;

Seeing this, a violent aura rose in his face, and he glared angrily at the chief guard guarding the door, and actually whipped him, completely ignoring the chief guard who was beaten with blood and thrown far away, and shouted "Drive!" The carriage drove out of Miyagi and departed.
