Xinlan followed Xiyue's instructions, lowered her head and walked quickly in the direction of Jingde Road.

Shen Qing had already said that this hour was the time for the handover of the garrison, and it was the best time for them to escape. As expected, passing around the corner, the whole road was extremely cold, and it was dark ahead, and there were no street lights.

The cold wind was shining, I don't know if it was because Xinlan was too nervous, but she felt that she could only hear her own footsteps on one road, which made her more and more uneasy.

I kept silently thinking in my heart, as long as I arrived at Shunde Road, I would be safe after meeting with my mother, don't think about anything and don't be afraid...... However, her hands still trembled, and she pulled down her cloak, but she didn't notice that a sharp gaze was watching her every move in the attic not far away.

Seeing that after another intersection, you can see the palace gate of Shunde Palace, Xinlan's eyes gradually let out light, as if victory is ahead.

Who knows, after taking a few steps forward, a bright candle suddenly lit up at the intersection, Xinlan's body stiffened, and the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of tall figures standing on the avenue on the left side of the intersection, and those people lit torches in their hands, as if an invisible net had been opened, completely enveloping her thin and small.

"Who's coming?"

The voice of Yan Sù, the head of the East Palace guard, echoed in the wind, Xinlan didn't turn around, she just stood stiff at the fork, and the strong pressure finally crushed her last trace of control.

"Ahh

"Chase!"

The running wind lifted Xinlan's hat, I don't know how long she ran, seeing that the gate of Shunde Palace was in front of her, she suddenly shook her figure, stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell forward.

At this time, countless long swords pointed straight at her, and those cold footsteps surrounded her, Xinlan gasped for breath, and at some point, tears had moistened her face.

"Crown Princess, let's arrest it!"

"No...... Not ......"

What the? So far, does the princess of this Yi country still want to resist? The commander of the guards of the East Palace frowned, picked up the torch on the side and shone it in front of Xinlan, and the woman on the ground slowly raised her head, this glance surprised the commander.

"No, slave, slave is not the crown princess......"

The other end.

Xiyue suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of Jingdelu, I don't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to hear Xinlan's voice.

Hmph, that idiot, did you really think you were going to take her away? It's just an attempt to use her to distract those people.

Shen Qing's words couldn't be believed for a long time, after so many things, Xiyue thought for a long time, and felt that there must be a traitor by her side, Xinlan didn't have the courage yet, the only possibility was Shen Qing!

This can also explain why he has failed to frame Du Yuanxiu three times and twice, and the news seems to have leaked out a long time ago. The reason why she still kept Shen Qing was that she felt that he was still useful. Shen Qing will definitely tell the prince of Chenguo about his inquiry about the Jingdelu garrison, then Jingdelu will become a trap.

This trap was dug by Xiyue herself, so she sent a Xinlan over.

Walking quickly on the uninhabited path, Xiyue remembered very well that Wu Huiyun had taken them to the palace through the guò road.

The closed gray palace door was in front of her, and Xiyue's face finally showed a relaxed smile, as long as she passed through that window, she could sink into the woods, and it would be easy to find the way.

I didn't want to, and my feet suddenly slipped, "Hey-"

She slammed down the stairs, her ankles limped, and the sharp pain and numbness filled her calf.

"Damn it!" I actually broke my foot at this time!

Xiyue looked at the protruding black shadow on the ground hatefully, and reached out to pick it up, and it was actually a round and huge pebble! How can there be pebbles in this place? The dark clouds spread out from the top of her head, and the moonlight fell on her body, and Xiyue saw clearly that there were several pebbles in front of the stairs, scattered in twos and twos.

"It seems that the princess's luck is not as good as mine."

A cold voice sounded from behind, Xiyue was startled, and immediately turned around, "Who?!" ”

She raised her head in surprise, only to see a woman slowly walking out of the shadows, with a cold look in her eyes and a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Du, Du Yuanxiu?!"

"The crown princess is so late, walking so fast, where are you going?" There was not the slightest emotion in Du Yuanxiu's tone, she didn't seem to see Xiyue's wolf appearance at the moment.

Xiyue slowly moved her body, and looked behind Du Yuanxiu vigilantly, not knowing why the other party appeared here, her brain suddenly shook, "You put this pebble?!" ”

"I'm just a princess."

"Hehe, I can't blame me for this, if you fall obediently, it won't affect your sister." Xiyue felt that there was no need to hide anything at this moment, and the other party could be said to have been prepared.

Du Yuanxiu's eyes were cold, but he didn't answer her.

In the shadows, Xiyue's hand slowly reached into her sleeve, just one Du Yuanxiu, who was not her opponent at all.

"It's so late, it's not good for the crown prince and concubine to stay in the palace, what are you doing when you come out? Or did Mrs. Feng have a miscarriage, and the princess and concubine are in a good mood and want to come out late at night to admire the moon? She was sarcastic, and Du Yuanxiu's heart was poked by her full of wounds.

She changed her usual docile appearance, and her cold voice slowly flowed out.

"This palace is here to avenge my sister."

Avenge?! This is not like something that would come out of Du Yuanxiu's mouth. In Xiyue's impression, even if she suffers such a big loss, she should swallow it in her stomach alone!

“…… It's up to you? ”

Xiyue's eyes were cold, and Du Yuanxiu immediately took a few steps back vigilantly.

"Of course, it's not just me."

A rush of footsteps came, and in the blink of an eye, a large group of guards had appeared in front of Xiyue's eyes.

The bright sword made Xiyue's eyes widen suddenly, and in the bright candle flame, Xiyue saw that familiar face.

"Shen Qing, it's really you!"

Shen Qing's face was expressionless, he had always been the person by the prince's side, even if he had a little affection for Xiyue, it was just sympathy for this poor woman.

"As early as you left the Imperial Palace, the palace immediately notified Shen Guard."

Several guards stepped forward to protect Du Yuanxiu, but Xiyue was still not giving up and secretly calculating her chances of winning.

She was about to sprinkle the poison powder in her last struggle, when suddenly a silver light flashed, picking up the burden from her shoulders. "Ah, what are you doing?! Give the burden back to Hongu! ”

Shen Qing ignored the abuse of the woman on the ground and put away the burden. He had already noticed that from Fang Cai to now, Xiyue had been holding this burden tightly, and it seemed that it was very important to her.

There was a tingling pain in her ankle, and the pain was unbearable as soon as she moved slightly.

"If the crown princess puts her hand in her sleeve again, don't blame her subordinates for being unkind!" Shen Qing even noticed Xiyue's small movements, and several long swords pointed directly at her neck, glowing with cold killing intent.

At this moment, Xiyue finally knows what it is like to be cornered. There was her antidote in that baggage, and even if she escaped, she wouldn't be able to return to the Yun family alive.

Staring at Du Yuanxiu in the crowd, Xiyue had a terrifying smile on her face. However, the other party did not have the slightest fear, and just looked at her like this.

"Take her down!"

Immediately, someone stepped forward and erected Xiyue.

However, when passing by Du Yuanxiu's side, Xiyue stopped and refused to move forward. She stared at her eyes with resentment, "Do you think you've won?" Do you think you're going to end up better than me in the future?! Hehehe...... Look, the prince is no longer the prince you know, look at it, what will happen to you! ”

"Take her away!" Shen Qing frowned, what was this crazy woman talking about.

"The crown princess, it's cold, go back, and I'll hand it over to my subordinates."

Du Yuanxiu responded lightly, looked at the woman who was escorted down with a crazy smile, and recalled her words.

The prince is no longer the prince he used to be, how could Du Yuanxiu not know this. She looked at him the whole time. I've always loved him. How could he not be aware of the little changes in the crown prince since the death of His Majesty Emperor Chen.

But who will stay the same?

Whether it's him, or she.

……

"Your Royal Highness, you have taken down the princess of Yiguo."

In the bright imperial study, Dongfang Xu lowered his head and had a stack of folds in his hand. Although he has not yet ascended the throne, he is already familiar with what he should do as an emperor.

He replied lightly, but he didn't stop the brush in his hand.

"Your Royal Highness, it has been confirmed that it was the princess of Yiguo who caused Mrs. Feng's miscarriage." The public was on the side, just waiting for Dongfang Xu's words, how to deal with this troublesome princess of the Yi Kingdom. Kill her? What should Emperor Xiao of the Yi Kingdom do?

Dongfang Xu finally stopped moving, he took a deep breath and raised his head, without the slightest expression on his face.

"Put her in a prison and keep her strictly guarded, and don't pay attention to the rest."

Does His Highness mean that she should fend for herself? "Minions get it......"

The father-in-law retreated quietly and sighed in his heart. He also thought that this time the princess of Yi would definitely die. Everyone knows that she is a spy sent by Emperor Xiao to Chenguo, and now His Royal Highness still keeps her alive, is it because last time, she was kind to His Highness?

The father-in-law found that he was becoming more and more unable to see through Dongfang Xu.

Slowly walking to the window, Dongfang Xu looked up at the full moon covered by dark clouds, and his eyes were vague. He had already ordered someone to secretly keep an eye on Xiyue, as long as there was any movement in the prison, no matter who went to visit, he would take it immediately. As long as there are people from Emperor Xiao in the palace of Chenguo, Emperor Xiao will definitely let people kill her in order to prevent Xiyue from shaking out other things.

A cold wind blew, but an unfamiliar voice came.

"Your Highness, are you waiting for me?"
