Not only Ru Xi was surprised, but others also had surprised expressions, and the most surprising thing should be Baili Yi and Baili Yang, who had lived in the palace for more than 20 years, and they didn't know that there was such a secret room.

Retracting his gaze, Baili Yi asked, "Father, what kind of place is this?" Erchen had never heard of it before, and he had never been there. ”

"This is an underground palace built by the former emperor, which is used for refuge, and you can leave the palace from the back of this secret room." Bailiyan said, pointing to the other side, where there was a looming door, and if you didn't look closely, you thought it was a fake door.

"Does anyone else know?" Bailiyan asked.

Bailiyan thought about it, shook his head and nodded, and said in an uncertain tone: "I don't know this, but what is certain is that in addition to the queen mother and me, as well as Xiao Luzi, no one else should know about the mechanism in this secret room, even if you know that there is a secret room, you can't get in." ”

Not long after Ru Xi and the others left the imperial study, Ye Yong led the people of Xiaoyao Pavilion to arrive.

I saw that there were weak and powerless guards lying around, but I didn't see the figure of Bailiyi, and it took a lot of hard work to break into the palace, but in vain, Ye Yong suddenly became angry, grabbed a guard on the ground, and asked fiercely: "Where is His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

The guard tried to open his eyes, and said weakly: "The crown prince and the emperor have fled." ”

"Where did you flee?"

The guard shook his head, Ye Yong threw the guard down, and said to the people who accompanied him: "Go!" ”

As soon as he left here, Mu Guozhang led the guards to rush over, and saw that there was no one else in the imperial study except for those guards, and said angrily: "Dig three feet into the ground and find out Bailiyan." ”

As soon as the words fell, a small voice was heard coming from the foot of the wall of the imperial study: "Dad! ”

When Mu Guozhang heard the reputation, he saw Concubine Yan leaning against the wall, the whole person was dying, he strode over and asked, "Didn't you leave early?" Why are you still here? ”

Concubine Yan's slightly raised eyes closed one by one, looking very tired, and she had used all her strength to call that "Dad".

Seeing this, Mu Guozhang injected his true qi into Concubine Yan's back, and after a while, Concubine Yan opened her eyes again, and the whole person looked much better.

She glanced at the fake Mu Guozhang who had died of anger, and then at the Mu Guozhang in front of her, and cried and laughed: "I knew that my father was not that kind of person, he actually didn't care about Yang'er's life or death." ”

Concubine Yan pointed to the dead corpse hatefully.

If she hadn't climbed to the wall with all her strength to avoid the sight of Bailiyan and the others, at this moment, she would definitely have been caught by Bailiyan.

Mu Guozhang didn't have any expression on his face, glanced at the corpse, and said, "I told him to do that, and what he did was what I meant." ”

"What?" Concubine Yan was shocked, just now she was glad that her father was not such a cold-blooded person, at this moment, her heart fell to the bottom again, "Yang'er is your own grandson." ”

"He's my own grandson, but he's also Bailiyan's own son, what do you think he's done? He has always been working against me, his heart is towards Bailiyan, he doesn't have my grandfather in his heart at all, in this case, why should I take care of him? The more Mu Guozhang spoke, the more angry he became, he glanced around, and said, "It is because of him that Bailiyan has the opportunity to escape, and this account is counted on his head." ”

Concubine Yan shook her head: "This is not Yang'er's doing, but Ru Xi's girl." ”

When it comes to Ru Xi, Mu Guozhang thinks of Ru Boyuan, the military power he worked so hard to get was destroyed in the hands of Ru Boyuan, and now, Ru Boyuan's daughter has come to ruin his good deeds.

"That girl did all my good deeds, I won't let her go." After Mu Guozhang finished speaking, he asked Concubine Yan to help her up and said, "Send Niangniang back to Mingrui Palace." ”

"Nope! I won't go back, I'm going to go with you, Yang'er is still in Bailiyan's hands, and I won't let Bailiyan hurt him. Concubine Yan shook her head vigorously.

Bailiyang had a headache when Mu Guozhang heard these three words, and Concubine Yan kept mentioning them, so Mu Guozhang shouted angrily: "He is not worried about you, what are you worried about him doing?" Send the mother back. ”

Even if Concubine Yan was not poisoned, she didn't have much strength, her body was weak at the moment, and the two guards could only follow them if she exerted a little force.

"Dad, I'm not going back." Concubine Yan turned around and begged, but Mu Guozhang pretended not to see it and led everyone in the direction of Jiade Palace.

There is no one in this palace who can threaten Bailiyan, and the only one who can threaten Ru Xi is the maidservant who came in with her.

As long as one of them can threaten Bailiyan, there will be a turnaround, Mu Guozhang raised a treacherous smile.

If this servant girl is useless, then he has two last moves.

Early this morning, since Da Baili Yi and Ru Xi left the Jiade Palace to go to the imperial study, the entire palace has been surrounded by guards, and there are countless guards guarding each palace in front of and behind the palace, and people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.

The Jiade Palace is more heavily guarded than other palaces, and before Ru Xi left the Jiade Palace, he had already let the lotus painting go to Guo Meiren, and then asked the guards to escort the lotus painting and Guo Meiren to the imperial study.

Aoyagi originally wanted to follow, but Ru Xi didn't let her, so she stayed in the Guardian Palace.

Even if she doesn't go out, the news in this palace still spreads quickly, when she heard that Ru Xi and others were trapped in the imperial study, Aoyagi was very anxious, but she didn't know martial arts, and she couldn't even get out of this Jiade Palace, so what could she help?

Aoyagi thought about it, and then thought of someone, perhaps, she could help.

But when she came to Su Liangdi's palace, the palace maid told her that Su Liangdi was not there, Qingliu was disappointed, and the palace maid saw this and comforted: "Sister Qingliu, don't worry, I heard that the emperor and the prince have escaped from the imperial study." ”

Hearing this, Aoyagi happily grabbed the palace maid's hand and asked, "Are you serious?" ”

The palace maid nodded: "It's true, but this palace is surrounded by Mu Guozhang, even if you escape from the imperial study, you can't escape the palace." ”

"That's right!" Letting go of the palace maid's hand, Aoyagi hung his head again in frustration.

The palace maid said: "As long as there is no news that the emperor and they were arrested by Mu Guozhang, it means that they are safe." ”

Aoyagi smiled and nodded, and walked out.

When he was about to approach the gate of the Jiade Palace, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Aoyagi immediately stopped and flashed behind the tree on the side, and looked sideways at the door, and saw Mu Guozhang leading a large group of guards swaggering in.

"Grab me the man on the picture." Mu Guozhang stood still, opened a portrait, and from a distance, Aoyagi saw that the painting on it was herself, what did Mu Guozhang do with her?

Aoyagi thought about it carefully, and guessed Mu Guozhang's purpose, she must not fall into Mu Guozhang's hands.

However, with so many guards searching, how could she hide?
