451: Lives hang by a thread
"Is my father here?" In the silence, Yin Zhitong asked out loud.
He didn't know why everyone's expressions looked so strange at the moment.
"It could be someone else." Jiang Ying said in a low voice: "If someone else finds us, we will lose, so we can't make a sound, you know?" β
Yin Zhitong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but after a while, he still nodded to her and obediently stopped talking.
The group stopped moving for a while, standing in place, in a dilemma.
No one knows what to do.
It would be best if reinforcements came to pick it up, but if the secret passage was accidentally discovered, the person who came came to clear it...... If they go any further, it will be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
Going back is even more unrealistic.
Inside and outside Weiyang Palace, it must have been surrounded by layers at this time.
As time passed, several people were even able to hear the sound of cold sweat dripping.
As Concubine Chen said, there was indeed someone coming ahead.
At this time, even Jiang Ying and the others vaguely heard the movement, which became clearer and clearer as the footsteps approached...... It is not difficult to notice that the footsteps of the people coming are chaotic, and the formation is not small, and there is a faint sense of menacing!
"This secret passage seems to be the direction leading to Weiyang Palace, be sure to check it carefully! Don't let go of any suspiciousness! β
Such a voice could be heard from afar.
The identity of the person who came has been decided.
I can only flee back!
At least there's a glimmer of life!
"Keep an eye on the ...... along the way Although there is only one path in this secret passage, there may be places to hide on both sides! Jiang Ying snatched the lantern from Yin Zhitong's hand. Blow out the candle flame and say.
ββ¦β¦ Just do what Sakura says. The queen pushed Concubine Chen's hand away and said.
She looked at Jiang Ying, suddenly smiled, and said, "You are a very good boy, and you are a good match for him." β
What the?
Jiang Ying didn't understand for a while, but when she reacted, she was suddenly pushed hard by the queen.
"You guys go quickly." She urged.
"...... What are you doing here? β
"Sister!"
"They just want my lifeβ"
If she is found, they will no longer be threatened.
There are too many people who have died because of her.
Existential moments. She said she didn't want to bother innocent people anymore.
The queen said. One side backs away.
Jiang Ying was shocked, and stretched out her hand to stop her: "Queen Mother, never-cough!" Cough! β
A burst of unknown powder was sucked into the mouth and nose, choking several people and unable to breathe for a while.
The queen smiled complicatedly.
Originally, it was used to carry it over the years. Something used to prevent Yin Ziyu from approaching her. Now it comes in handy by accident.
A few people could barely open their eyes. When he regained his senses, the figure of the queen was no longer in front of him!
"Sister! Sister! β
Concubine Chen was shocked and hurriedly caught up.
Xin'er stumbled closely behind.
Jiang Ying's mind flashed in the confusion. When the queen turned around, she handed something into her handsβand at that moment, she vaguely saw a pair of eyes full of tears and smiles.
didn't have time to think about whether she was hallucinating, she subconsciously wanted to catch up.
"Girl, don't!" Yun Li grabbed the person tightly, and persuaded with a trembling voice: "Girl, be calm!" β
"Queen Mother......" Yin Zhitong realized that something was wrong, her voice became terrified, she choked and shook off Jiang Ying's hand, and went to chase the queen.
Jiang Ying's heart turned a thousand times, and her whole brain was buzzing.
She had never had such an experience watching others go to death in exchange for the possibility of her own life, and for a moment she only felt that her feet were filled with lead, and she couldn't move half a step, and all that was left in her ears was the sound of a rapid and disordered heartbeat.
But do we want to die together?
She has no relatives and no reason with the queen, and today's danger is just an accident that was implicated, and her life must not be given away for no reason like this.
She is still waiting for Brother Jin to bring back from the soul grass, and she is still waiting to marry him and give him many, many monkeys-
If Brother Jin can't see her when he comes back, how will he be sad?
She didn't want to die at all.
The funeral of righteousness is certainly a sensation, but it is also a contempt for life!
Jiang Ying suddenly broke free of Yunli's support and strode forward.
"Girl!!" Yun Li's life was frightened, and he hurriedly wanted to catch up.
She's a foolish girl!
But after seeing it for a while, Jiang Ying had already turned back quickly, and there was a dark figure in her arms, which could vaguely be identified as the little prince!
Yun Li breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not too confusing at all......
"Let's go!"
Jiang Ying bit her lower lip tightly, ignoring the struggle of Yin Zhitong in her arms, she covered his mouth with one hand, and walked quickly in the direction of Weiyang Palace.
She can't do it with death, this is the only righteous anger she can do!
The next step is life or death, and let's fight to the end!
β¦β¦
The inside and outside of the palace, which is full of murderous atmosphere, is especially terrifying in the night, like a giant beast that is about to rise at any time, once it makes a move, it is enough to overturn the entire imperial city.
The sound of neat footsteps and the clashing of armor and swords seemed to have a sense of urgency in the darkness.
The blazing torches were held high by the soldiers, and they spread rapidly from outside the palace to the palace, like a long fire dragon.
An oil-walled carriage drove straight from outside the palace gate, and was closely guarded by silver-armored guards in front and behind.
Although the carriage was not bumpy, there was an uncomfortable coughing sound from inside the carriage.
Jin Qingyun was dressed in a homely sauce-colored robe, and his gorgeous hair was only wrapped around the top of his head with a dark blue ribbon, and he didn't even have time to crown his hair.
He clutched a letter tightly in his withered hands, and his eyes were red from the light of the fire outside the curtain, as sharp as if he were sharp, and as if he were ...... Fear.
He even wished he was dreaming.
But he must know the truth!
β¦β¦
In the Golden Luang Palace. Jin Yuming sat on the high dragon chair, rubbing the gold lacquer dragon relief on the armrest on the side of the chair, looking at the palace people who were trembling on the ground, looking a little playful.
"Did anyone find it?"
He asked aloud to the guards on one side.
"Hui Shizi, yet, not ......" The entourage was a little cowardly, and said before Jin Yuming spoke: "But the subordinates found a secret passage at the north gate of the Imperial Garden, which is likely to lead to Weiyang Palace, and the subordinates have already sent someone to check-"
"Secret Dao ......" Jin Yuming's eyes were cold, and he let out a cold snort that seemed to be a smile, gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "Sure enough." β
Yin Ziyu was really fascinated by that woman.
I was ready to betray him early. At the risk of the Yin family's downfall. and prepare to save the woman's life-
Just for a woman who hadn't looked at him at all......
It's stupid, pathetic and humble.
"Shizi!"
A sharp sound pierced through the main hall, and the armored soldier with the bloody breath on his body rushed in, and said urgently: "...... Duke Jin brought people into the inner palace, and his subordinates did not dare to stop him. Now we have rushed to the Golden Luan Palace! β
As soon as this statement came out. Several of the guards on Jin Yuming's side changed their faces one after another. Busy looking at Jin Yuming.
Jin Yuming's eyes were cold, and his hands holding the relief suddenly tightened.
How did he come!
No, how could he still move?
He was sure that the entire palace was under his control tonight. Not even a fly can fly out to report the news!
Could it be that King Qing has rebelled?
No, by no means.
He promised to support King Qing to sit on the throne afterwards, no one can refuse such a temptation!
ββ¦β¦ Shizi, should we retreat first? The guard asked.
If this matter is really known to the Duke of Jin, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"No need." Jin Yuming sneered and said, "Since you are here, you must know." Will the soldiers who are guarding outside the palace not recognize him? β
The people he brought into the inner palace today were all his cronies, and King Qing led the troops to guard outside the palace, but in order to be sure, he also transferred troops belonging to the Jin family to guard the palace gate with King Qing.
Those people didn't even know what he was doing when he entered the palace today, and they wouldn't even know that he was secretly doing it from Jin Qingyun, the head of the Jin family.
There was no need to think about it, it must have been the first time he saw Jin Qingyun, so he knelt down and saluted, and respectfully opened the palace gate to let him go.
"But if you let the Duke of Jin know that the prince secretly has a ...... with the king of Tongqing," Suiwei's face trembled.
"King Qing?" Jin Yuming got up from the dragon chair, still sneering, and said, "King Qing will come in handy soon." β
It's just a chess piece, and it's up to him to decide where to use it.
The oil-walled carriage drove straight into the front of the Jinluan Palace, the wheels rolling, and the bloody breath was stepped on all the way.
Jin Yuming stepped forward without hurry.
When he crossed the high vermilion threshold in front of the main hall, in the carriage that had just stopped, he was helped down by his entourage An old man in a sauce-colored robe was undoubtedly Jin Qingyun.
"Father-" Jin Yuming stepped forward and saluted calmly.
"Smack!"
However, before he could fully straighten up, he was slapped hard by Jin Qingyun.
The force was so great that he deflected half of his face, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears.
"Rebel!" Jin Qingyun didn't know whether he was angry or weak, although he was supported by his subordinates, his body was still trembling, and he asked angrily: "You still have the face to call my father!" How could you ever have a father like me in your eyes! β
Jin Yuming rubbed half of his numb cheeks, raised his head to look at him, and asked tepidly and impatiently, "Why did my father say this?" β
It's no longer the cowardly look of the past that was humbled by training.
Jin Qingyun's body trembled even more.
If this were not the case, he would probably be proud to have such a son who is not in danger!
"The father is not in a hurry, and allows the son to explain the cause and effect clearly." Jin Yuming waved his right hand and pointed to the military guards outside the hall, and said, "Father also saw it, these people were brought by his son to clear the rebelsβ"
"Rebels?" Jin Qingyun looked at him coldly.
Jin Yuming continued as if he hadn't seen it: "My father has been sick in bed these days, thinking that he has missed the situation outside, so naturally he doesn't know that even King Qing, who has always been peaceful on the surface, has a heart of disobedience, and even took advantage of the night to raise troops to attack the imperial city, and wash this Jinluan Palace in blood, intending to seize the throne. Fortunately, my son came in time with the troops to subdue him, otherwise, when the news spreads early tomorrow morning, let the world know that someone has succeeded in making trouble under the noses of our Jin family, I am afraid that my father and I will also have a dull faceββ"
"Tell the word!" Jin Qingyun's eyes were like torches, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at him and said, "If it weren't for your instigation, how could King Qing have the courage to steal the sky!" β
"Why did my father wronged me again?" Having said that, Jin Yuming did not show a half-aggrieved look on his face, but asked with a slight smile: "Although Yin Ziyu is useless, he is still sincere to the Jin family, and he is dignified, why does his son bother to change hands for this palace?" β
"To this day, you still won't admit itβyes, that's good!" Jin Qingyun gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to talk to you more, quickly bring the emperor and queen to see me!" β
"The Emperor?" Jin Yuming patted his head lightly, as if he had just woken up, and said busily: "Look at my son's memory, I forgot to tell my father that when my son came with the troops, Yin Ziyu and the unknown queen mother had unfortunately died under the rebel knife and became the soul of tonight!" β
Jin Qingyun's figure flickered, layers of coldness burst out in his eyes, and he looked at Jin Yuming, who was full of hypocrisy, and said word by word: "Then carry the queen's body over to see me!" β
He only needs to see her face clearly, and the truth will be revealed!
"The death is too tragic, my father has been weak recently, and it is the time to calm down, and I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to see this bloody scene in the middle of the night."
"Bring his body to me immediately!"
Jin Qingyun raised his voice suddenly, but he coughed violently uncontrollably because he was too excited.
"Look, what do I say? My father was not in good health, so he had to calm down and take care of his body first. β
Jin Qingyun waved away Jin Yuming's hand that pretended to be soothing his back, and reluctantly straightened up with the support of the two servants.
"Cover it up in every way, and you want to hide it from me for a long time!" He raised his right hand tremblingly, threw the letter on Jin Yuming's face with all his might, and asked, "Qingjun side?" I think it's because I'm afraid that the matter will be revealed, so let's kill people first! β
Knowing that he has become suspicious recently, he will wipe out all the clues at all costs, so that he has no evidence!
Jin Yuming indifferently opened the letterhead and looked at it, hastily swept the content of the letter, as well as the three words signed Yin Ziyu at the end, and immediately made a sudden appearance, and said with a smile: "Why did my father come to this bloody and filthy place late at night, because of this 'whistleblower letter' that I don't know whether it was true or false-my father would doubt me because of this ridiculous statement?" β
He actually missed the calculation that Yin Ziyu still had such a trick.
But who cares if it's true or not?
Although the queen is not dead, she will soon die.
It is impossible for him to let those so-called truths that have passed many years have a chance to surface again.
