"Niangniang, the people from Cihe Palace have arrived." When night fell, Mama Li was ordered by the Queen Mother to take people to the side gate of the back garden of Guanju Palace.

"Let Mama Li come in." Chu Xiangwan had already changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and sat quietly in the dormitory alone, without even lighting the lamp. Tomorrow is the ceremony after the canonization, the reason why the queen mother chose to send her out of the palace tonight is because of the ancestral regulations, the queen can not see the emperor before the canonization ceremony, let alone sleep, therefore, tonight's Guan Ju Palace is destined to be quiet before the storm.

"The hour is almost up, Niangniang, the Queen Mother arranged for someone to send you out." Mama Li lowered her head, her voice was old and rough, like a soul messenger in the dark night, making people feel furious when she heard it, "The slave maid has a pill here, the Queen Mother has ordered, let you take it before leaving the palace, after taking this pill, it will become a state of suspended animation, and you will be awake after two days." The queen mother means that she is afraid that you will change your hexagram halfway, so you will not wake up until you leave the capital. ”

Chu Xiangwan smiled and said nothing, she didn't hesitate, and directly took the pill. In fact, the Queen Mother is too worried, since she has promised to leave Da Zhou, she will never go back on her word again.

But in a quarter of an hour, Chu Xiangwan's eyelids were no longer able to support it, and he gradually fell into a state of suspended animation, without breathing, which really looked like a dead person. Zizhang held her body and let her lean on her body, and Mama Li walked outside and beckoned two people dressed as eunuchs to come in. She said expressionlessly, "Carry people away, be careful, don't alarm the people outside." ”

"Yes." The heads of the two men were very low, not wanting to be seen by others.

"Mama Li, where are you going to send your mother?" Zizhang didn't immediately hand over the person to the other party, but asked Mama Li.

"Don't say I don't know, and even if I do, I can't tell you a little slave. These two people were personally appointed by the Queen Mother, and only they and the Queen Mother knew where to go, if you want to know, you might as well ask the Queen Mother. Mama Li rolled her eyes at Zizhang, if she hadn't been able to make a loud noise at the moment, she would definitely reprimand this slave maid.

Two people pulled Chu Xiangwan from Zizhang's hand, and one of them carried her upside down on his shoulders and walked out of the corner gate of Guan Ju Palace.

Although Chu Xiangwan couldn't move or speak, his consciousness was clear. She felt that she had been thrown heavily into a large wooden box, and her body seemed to be covered with a layer of sacks, and the wooden box was placed on a board cart, and in a moment she heard the friction of the wheels moving forward, which should have been pushed by the two people out of the Guanju Palace just now.

After walking for about an hour, it seemed that he had arrived at the gate of the palace, because Chu Xiangwan heard that someone had stopped the cart.

"It's so late, where are you going?" The palace gate guard stretched out a hand and blocked the front of the car.

"A few big brothers, in this coffin is a little palace maid who just died, and the chief manager said that the daytime luck was too unlucky, so let us transport it away at night." One of the little eunuchs nodded his head, his voice flattering and helpless. It turned out that they put Chu Xiangwan in the coffin and lied that he was a palace maid who died of illness.

"Which palace is it from? What's wrong? Tomorrow is the ceremony after the sealing, and the boss will explain that there can be no mistakes, you, open the lid of the coffin, let me see. "The guards are not at ease, and want to see what is going on.

"Yes, yes, yes." One of them nodded and opened the lid.

"Hey, why are people covered with sacks, shouldn't you two be ······ Rip the sack open for me. The guard ordered, somewhat confused.

"Don't be so close, this man," a eunuch slowly lifted the sack, and kept his mouth on it, "she died of smallpox, and her face was very ugly, don't be afraid." ”

"Slow down," the man lying here one day was sick with smallpox, and the guard was so frightened that he immediately took a few steps back, and covered his nose with his sleeve, he pointed to the lid of the coffin and said, "Quickly cover this for Lao Tzu, little rabbit, why didn't smallpox say it earlier, hurry up!" After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned the two eunuchs to leave quickly, for fear that he would be infected.

"Yes, yes, let's go." The two eunuchs exchanged glances, lowered their heads, and pushed the cart out of the palace gate without hurrying.

"Stop." As soon as he left the palace gate, he was stopped by someone again. The two of them didn't dare to slack off, they lowered their heads more and more, and their whole bodies froze in place as if they were facing a great enemy.

The night was dark, and when the people approached, they saw that it was actually the prince of law who stopped them.

"See the prince." The two men knelt down in unison.

"Where are you going in the middle of the night pushing a coffin?" Huangfu Jing saw that these two people were suspicious, so he stopped and asked.

"This palace maid died of smallpox, and the servants were ordered to drag her to a mass grave and bury her." The little eunuch wanted to use such a rhetoric to dismiss the emperor's respect.

"Smallpox? It doesn't matter, this king had smallpox when he was young, let this king see which palace maid it is? Huangfu snorted coldly, and had already asked his subordinates to lift the lid of the coffin.

"Lord Wang, this palace maid's face is already rotten, don't look at it, the slave is afraid of scaring you."

"Go away, this little fright will not be afraid of this king!" But just as he was about to uncover the sack on Chu Xiangwan's body, Huangfu Jingbian stopped. "Yes, you ······ Come on, take these two down. ”

The entourage behind Huangfu Jingbian heard the order and stepped forward to capture the two eunuchs, who knew that the two of them were also skilled, and they ran back to the palace wall with a twist and performed light skills, and then a harrier turned over, and both of them turned into the palace again.

"Don't chase it." Huangfu Jingbian stopped the movements of his subordinates. He approached the coffin, lifted the sackcloth, and sure enough, it was the queen. In fact, he suddenly attacked just now because he had already discovered Chu Xiangwan's identity. Chu Xiangwan's hand exposed from under the sack carried the Qianfu silver bracelet given by Huangfu Jingyao, and she had never taken it down since Huangfu Jingyao put it on Chu Xiangwan. Huangfu Jingbian has coveted Chu Xiangwan for a long time, and he will pay attention to Chu Xiangwan every time there is a banquet in the palace, so he recognizes this silver bracelet. As soon as he saw this silver bracelet just now, he knew that it was Chu Xiangwan, but it happened suddenly, and he wanted people to take down the two eunuchs and take them back for interrogation, but now he has changed his mind. Looking at this situation, someone has already seen Chu Xiangwan favored, so he wants to send her out of the palace before the ceremony, these two people returned to the palace, their master knew that he would not dare to make a noise, he might as well push the boat down the river and bring Chu Xiangwan back, anyway, he has wanted this woman for a long time, and now, he can finally enjoy this beauty alone.

"Give the man to the king and bring it back." The emperor commanded respectfully.

Everything that happened inside and outside the palace was quiet, the person who was going to ascend the throne was gone, and the person who captured the person lost the one who was arrested, and it was only a few hours in one night, and Chu Xiangwan had already turned his hand a few times.
