Chapter 358: The Imperial City Takes the Throne 12
The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, it seems to be for the occasion, and tonight's moon also disappeared into the clouds, and no trace can be found again.
Ning Yuanxing and Jiang Chi Liunian followed the unknown private secret passage, and sneaked into the palace unconsciously, and at the entrance, there was already an informant in the palace who answered the three of them.
"Your Excellency." The man in the eunuch uniform stood at the exit, because it was pitch black all around, so whether the image of the person was blurred, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see what that face looked like.
After this person respectfully saluted Ning Yuanxing and the others, he took a step back and let Ning Yuanxing and the others come out.
"How's the situation in the palace?" Ning Yuanxing still looked indifferent, it seemed that even in a palace full of dangers, it could not make him have the slightest sense of crisis, he glanced at the person lightly and asked.
While taking out the eunuch service prepared in advance for Ning Yuanxing and the others, the eyeliner replied: "The entire palace has been controlled by the prince's people, and the Taiji Hall where His Majesty is located is even more of a key place, and it is not easy to sneak in." ”
This is the truth, the Taiji Hall has been heavily guarded, and the person who delivers meals to the emperor every day must also have a waist card to enter, Xiang Ning Yuanxing, a person who looks very eye-catching and does not have a waist card, if he approaches the Taiji Palace, he will definitely be suspected.
Ning Yuanxing hadn't reacted much, but he was a little anxious.
The crown prince would definitely expect Ning Yuanxing to come to the palace, if the two bumped into each other, it would be a dead end!
He turned his head and said to Ning Yuanxing, "My lord, this trip is very dangerous. You still don't risk your life, if you have anything to say, leave it to your subordinates to convey it, and your subordinates will definitely complete the task. ”
When Jiang Chi heard this, he also hurriedly expressed his attitude, and said to Ning Yuanxing: "My lord, Liu Nian is reckless, let his subordinates do this matter, let Liu Nian want to send you back, what's the matter." Let's start from scratch. ”
"Jiang Chi. This is not a trivial matter, what are you still doing here? Don't think things are messy enough? Liu Nian frowned and said unhappily, although Jiang Chi's archery skills are very powerful, but the melee combat is quite average. If he is discovered. Must have died a terrible death.
Jiang Chi glanced at Liu Nian. He sneered at each other: "I'm fooling up? Passing years, you said the opposite, right? What can your reckless nature do? What if someone finds out and implicates an adult? Haven't you thought about it? ”
"Hey, hey, hey! I don't want to hear what you say, when have I ever been implicated in an adult? "Passing years are unhappy.
"You've always been reckless in doing things, and you still need someone to say it?" Jiang Chi pursed his lips and said.
Liu Nian's brows furrowed even deeper, and he was about to refute, but Ning Yuanxing interrupted the words of the two, glanced at the two of them coldly, and said, "At this time, there is still a lot of arguing, do you want to be discovered?" ”
"The subordinates don't dare!" Liu Nian and Jiang Chi said in unison, and found that they said the same thing as the other party, and the two quickly turned their heads again, not giving in to each other, Ning Yuanxing regretted it a little, was it the right decision to bring the two of them?
He sighed and said weakly, "Who said we were going to enter through the main entrance?" The palace has a secret passage leading to the Tai Chi Hall. ”
"Your Majesty actually dug a secret passage in his palace?" Liu Nian was surprised, thinking to himself what kind of habit is this, so that he wants to make a hole in his house? What to do if it collapses?
Probably seeing the thoughts of the passing year, Ning Yuanxing glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't worry too much about the affairs of the emperor's family." ”
was named separately, Liu Nian's face burned a little hotly, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Yes." ”
Taiji Palace, after the emperor read the book for a while, he was about to fall asleep, he scattered the guards in the palace, and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, who knows, just went to bed, he saw several figures flickering in front of him.
The emperor's nerves all over his body tensed, he picked up from the bed suddenly, and was about to call someone, who knew that those figures actually knelt directly in front of him, "Weichen is late, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”
How could this voice emperor be unfamiliar, but he still asked tentatively, "Is it a long journey?" ”
"It's really a micro-minister." Ning Yuanxing knelt on the ground and whispered, he raised his head, a pair of bright eyes with a little light in the darkness, as dazzling as the last light in the darkness.
When the emperor saw Ning Yuanxing, his heart finally relaxed, and he quickly stepped forward to help Ning Yuanxing up, and said, "Aiqing......"
Before he finished speaking, Ning Yuanxing made a silent gesture and said, "The wall has ears, so there is no need to say polite words, Your Majesty." ”
The emperor thought about it, his gaze fell on the figure outside, even in the middle of the night, the Taiji Hall was still heavily guarded, God knows if there would be people with a very keen sense of hearing among those people?
The emperor sighed, he didn't expect that he would be so sneaky as an emperor.
"Far away, I ask you, is Zhen Ning really poisoned?" The Emperor asked earnestly.
When Luo Jia told him the news today, he couldn't believe his ears, his emperor, that girl who would never let herself suffer, be poisoned, and stupidly poisoned? How can it be?
Now that Ning Yuanxing has returned, but there is no Zhen Ning by his side, the emperor's heart is half cold.
Ning Yuanxing didn't know how the emperor would know about this, he lowered his eyebrows, and replied seriously: "The minister is guilty of not protecting the princess, and on the day Weichen learned that His Majesty was trapped in the palace, the princess was ......."
The emperor's last hope was defeated, he sighed heavily, and said: "I didn't expect Luo Jiaxin to be so ruthless, and he could be ruthless to his sister, it was my mistake at the beginning." ”
I knew that I should have killed that evil obstacle in the first place, so that I wouldn't have caused such an incident.
However, now the emperor is also sure that the throne must not be passed on to that person!
However, what he cared about the most now was the elegy, he looked at Ning Yuanxing, and asked, "Then, has the emperor's poison been cured?" ”
"......" Ning Yuanxing saw the emperor ask her, so he lowered his head. Ashamed: "The minister doesn't know ......"
"Huh?" The emperor was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why, he looked at him and wondered: "You don't know?" Or is it the emperor's son? ”
"No...... Whether the princess was rescued or not, the minister really didn't know at the moment, and the moment he learned that the imperial city was controlled by the prince, the minister returned to the imperial city with his subordinates, so ...... Whether the princess was rescued or not, now ......"
"Confused!" The emperor slapped himself on the thigh. He frowned. Looking at Ning Yuanxing, he said, "How can you leave Huang'er outside alone?" What if something happens to her?! ”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that King Fulu is by the princess's side. It's going to be fine. Ning Yuanxing said with relief.
Behold. When the emperor heard that Luo Yanchuan was also by his side. In an instant, he was not calm, he looked shocked, "What did you say?" That bastard actually ran out of the Imperial City? Still by the emperor's side? ”
The emperor's eyes when he looked at Ning Yuanxing changed suddenly. "Far away, why are you so stupid? Where did you leave that person in the emperor? Don't you know the relationship between the two of them, now is the time to fight for performance in front of the emperor, your move is really inappropriate, no, you can go back now, you don't need to interfere in the affairs of the imperial city. ”
The emperor began to issue an eviction order, and he was even more afraid of staying with Luo Yanchuan than the crisis in the imperial city.
Ning Yuanxing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, King Fulu and the princess are in love, if the minister has to intervene, it will only make the three of them unhappy, if you want to assist the princess, you don't need to use the marriage contract to bind us." ”
"Confused, that kid of the Lu family, how can he be sincere to the emperor, he must have something else for the emperor!"
The emperor's impression of Luo Yanchuan has been low to the bottom, and now that he knows that person actually left the imperial city without him, the emperor is even more angry in his heart, he should have grounded that person!
"Your Majesty, between the princess and King Fulu, the minister can't get in." Ning Yuanxing shook his head.
He recalled what the elegy said to him when he was in Xie Mansion that day, Ning Yuanxing still felt that his heart was pumping, and it hurt badly, if he did this a few more times, he would probably be crazy, right?
Seeing Ning Yuanxing like this, the emperor wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ning Yuanxing, he looked straight and said: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to solve the prince's affairs, the minister has something to ask, did Your Majesty know from the beginning that the prince had the intention of rebellion, so before the prince forced the palace, he had already transferred the jade seal?" ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ning Yuanxing appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Yuanxing is really smart, that's right, I have already transferred the jade seal, and the reason why Luo Jia has not moved now is also because the jade seal is gone." ”
"Then whose hands did Your Majesty put the jade seal?" Ning Yuanxing then asked.
"I have already sent someone to deliver the jade seal to the high priest, and now, it should have been sent out of the city and handed over to Zhen Ning."
"Handed over to the High Priest?" Ning Yuanxing frowned, he remembered the information he got from Jiang Chi today, and always felt that there was something strange in it, "Your Majesty, do you know that the temple has been surrounded by the crown prince a few days ago?" ”
"Something like this again?! When did it happen? The Emperor's eyes widened and he asked.
"Three days ago." Ning Yuanxing told the emperor where he got information from Jiangchi, and then he saw that the emperor's face changed drastically.
"Not good! It is very likely that Luo Jia already knows the whereabouts of the jade seal! The Emperor said.
Wasn't that the day he delivered his epistle to the high priest three days ago? The crown prince surrounded the temple three days ago, how could it be so coincidental? The only explanation was that the prince intercepted the news he had sent to the high priest.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, this matter shouldn't be as simple as we thought, if the crown prince already knows the whereabouts of the jade seal, why hasn't there been any further action? This shows that he doesn't know the news of the jade seal yet. ”
"It's also possible that the high priest is loyal to me, and he will never easily tell Luo Jia about the whereabouts of the jade seal."
How did the emperor know that when the loyal high priest met Qiu Yue, he would turn against him in an instant.
It is said that after Luo Jia confined Jiang Chi to the Prince's Mansion, he still refused to give up, and that night, taking advantage of the dark, he quietly ran out of the Prince's Mansion and went directly to the place where the high priest was imprisoned.
The guards guarding the courtyard where the high priest lived knew that Qiu Yue was inseparable from the prince, and the relationship between the two was tacit in the hearts of these people, but Luo Jia did not tell them that Qiu Yue had been grounded, so Qiu Yue easily entered the courtyard and came to the high priest's house.
"You guys, open the door." Qiu Yue instructed the guards guarding in front of the high priest's house.
"Yes!" The guard nodded in response, and saw the locked door open.
The high priest had already fallen asleep, and the room was dark and oppressive, but it did not hinder Jiang Chi's vision at all, his eyes, even at night, were like day, and he didn't have to worry about the light at all, but the guards still thoughtfully lit the lamp in the room, and saw a man dressed in white serving lying on their backs.
Qiu Yue signaled with his chin, and the guards stepped forward knowingly, woke up the high priest, and said, "Wake up soon!" ”
The high priest seemed to be still having some sweet dreams at the time, and after being about to wake up, he was still half-asleep, looking at Qiu Yue and still looking confused, but when he saw Qiu Yue's eyes with heterochromatic pupils, the sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
His eyes widened, staring at Qiu Yue deadly, that kind of naked-naked-naked gaze made Qiu Yue uncomfortable, a spark flashed in his heterochromatic eyes, and finally sneered at the high priest: "Have you seen enough?" ”
When the high priest heard Qiu Yue's voice, he came back to his senses, he fainted, his long golden hair shone softly in the light, and he smiled: "I've seen enough." ”
Qiu Yue didn't expect this person to really answer like this, and raised his eyebrows, "You're not afraid?" ”
"What's there to be afraid of? Judging by the color of your eyes, you must be a different species from that village, right? ”
That village is naturally the "Shenyin Village" that Qiu Yue voiced, and the people in that village regarded him as an alien, and even wanted to set fire to her, if it weren't for Luo Jia just passing by here, maybe at this time, he would have already arrived in the underworld.
Therefore, for the sake of Luo Jia, Qiu Yue must get the whereabouts of the jade seal and look at his ambitions.
Even if he is regarded as an outlier by the world in the future, and can only live a wandering life from now on, he will not hesitate to do so.
"Yes and what, no and what?" Qiu Yue had no intention of having anything to do with this person, his crimson left eye widened, and that eye stared at the high priest deadly, if it met that eye, there would be a feeling of infiltration.
The high priest didn't care, so he talked to Qiu Yue like this.
This couldn't be better, Qiu Yue smiled in his heart, saving him from asking someone to open that person's eyes again, he took a deep breath and said to the high priest: "Tell me, where is the jade seal?" (To be continued.) )
