Section 255 The Shadow of the Palace
Zhao Yue, who had insight into the conspiracy, and the conspirators all understood a truth.
Once the conflict between the fundamental interests of Emperor Zhao and Cangzhao was triggered, the emperor and Zhao Gonglian turned their faces, and the affection of the monarch and the ministers was gone.
Further down, it can only be that the emperor distrusts Cangzhao more and more, hates Cangzhao more and more, and with Zhao Ji's temperament, it is easy to want to deal with Cangzhao as soon as possible.
Whether Cangzhao is wronged or not is not important in the eyes of the emperor.
The emperor can get out of this matter as soon as possible and enjoy himself again, which is the most important thing in Emperor Zhao Ji's heart.
Even if the emperor found out in time that he had wronged Cangzhao and felt guilty, Cangzhao would not have a chance to turn over again.
The **** role of the emperor cannot be guilty.
The more guilty the emperor is, the faster he will die. The more his family is ruthlessly eradicated, the more it will quickly become a passing cloud. In this way, the emperor can quickly and completely forget about this incident that made him feel guilty.
The conspirators calculated that due to the long distance, Zhao Gonglian and the main members of the family could not get the news in time to react. In this gap, they will be able to turn their hands into clouds and rain with their hands, gain all the advantages, and rectify Cangzhao to the point that they have no power to resist and counterattack.
Late at night.
The Great Song Dynasty Palace is like a huge beast lying in the ice and snow, using the night to disguise its ferocity and wait to devour the people who pass by at any time.
On the city wall more than ten meters high, only a group of imperial city guards held torches, shivering listlessly in the wind and snow.
The climate at this time is much colder than the planet under the greenhouse effect, and although spring is approaching, it is still freezing to death. If the Imperial City Forbidden Army stood still and was on duty, they would soon be cold and stiff all over. You have to be constantly moving and moving. in exchange for heat.
It was so cold late at night. The blades of the iron armor were frozen by the wind and snow, and there was no sound of the metal of the armor skirt, only the heavy footsteps of the shuffling and the occasional low complaint that the ghost weather was so cold that the sound spread to the dead silence and pitch black in all directions.
Suddenly, two black shadows appeared at the foot of the imperial city, and when the patrol passed, the two flying claws were thrown onto the tall city wall, and the steel hooks wrapped in thin skin hooked the battlements silently. In the blink of an eye, he slipped into the city with a flying claw, and with a shake of his hand, the flying claw fell off the battlements and was skillfully caught and put away, and the body disappeared into the darkness as soon as the cat appeared.
The whistling wind perfectly concealed the little noise they made.
The patrol soon turned back and did not notice anything unusual.
The imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty is not large compared to the empires of the Tang Dynasty, but it is still a behemoth.
Zhao Yue followed Shi Qian through the palace, avoiding the guards, passing through the rockery ...... of the palace corridor, and turned a little confused. With his genius-level IQ, he couldn't remember the path, but Shi Qian was as familiar as visiting his own home, and finally turned to a palace.
This is the place where Emperor Zhao Ji cultivated his daily life and listened to the lectures of the 'Immortal Chief'. Dongxiao Palace is also the alchemy place of 'Immortal Chief'.
Dongxiao Palace is not too far from the emperor's bedroom, but it is a large closed and independent courtyard. The scenery inside is magnificent and mysterious, and it is like a fairyland when the flowers bloom. The Huashi Gang that harmed the Great Song Dynasty people miserably. The extent of its enormous cost can be reflected here.
Zhao Ji can't live here, and every time he takes the jade to pass by, he will bring a large group of eunuchs to serve him.
This is the place of cultivating immortals. Non-physical mortals are qualified to live, so as not to defile the treasure and lose their aura, and affect the emperor's cultivation of the Tao to become an immortal, so there is no arrangement of palace maids. The cleaning of the Dongxiao Palace was carried out by the eunuch chief Liang Shicheng's henchmen and eunuch heads.
Only the guards guarding outside and a few eunuchs who were on duty that night were in the Dongxiao Palace.
The emperor has everything and looks down on the people, although he doesn't care about the life and death of the guards. But in the depths of winter, being in the open air all night is not something that people can resist. There are not many guards here, but they are all elite masters in Ouchi, and they can be regarded as having an identity, and they have a house to stay in to stay up late to stay warm and hide from the wind and snow.
At this time, the room was brightly lit, and seven or eight master guards were inside. Some are sitting withered. Some are whispering and laughing......
There were no patrols outside.
It should be that the palace has been peaceful for a long time. In the middle of the night, the guards couldn't bear the crime, so they lazily hid in the house to keep warm and comfortable.
Shi Qian gestured to Zhao Yue, grinned silently, and took the lead to touch the back window.
Zhao Yuelai didn't rely on force to kill the palace guards and make trouble in the palace.
His goal was the 'elixir' that the emperor enjoyed.
If you want to infiltrate the Dongxiao Palace, you must first solve the defense of these guards. If you can't kill, you have to be fascinated.
But he looked at the window and couldn't help but curse secretly, Damn, I forgot that it was glass. How do you put drugs in the house?
Unexpectedly, in order to make the eldest brother become the champion smoothly, he dedicated glass to decorate the palace and cancel the window paper, so that the emperor and his son could live more comfortably and beautifully. At this time, it has become an obstacle to action, invisibly protecting the Dog Emperor's elixir.
Time has passed, but there is no hurry.
He secretly observed the inside of the room, found a hidden angle, took out an object from the small backpack, folded it was as thin as paper, smooth but very tough, easily inserted through the gap in the window, the end of the thing into the room could still be slightly opened, it turned out to be elastic.
The drug was scattered into the house as soon as the air flowed, and there was no trace of it.
Shi Qian gently tilted the thing, so that the drug at one end also entered the other end of the room, put all the medicine away, and pulled it back silently.
He was extremely skillful and extremely fast, almost instantaneously complete.
Thanks to the fact that the window ridge is flat, not a concave and convex fit, and it is deformed for a long time, no one pays attention to it, and the gap is large. Otherwise, even if you move that baby sometimes, you don't want to insert it.
Shi Qian was obviously also very satisfied with his methods, and smiled triumphantly and silently at Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue quietly gave a thumbs up and praised it.
This is really a specialization in the art industry.
He can't really play this job, and most of the time he can only stare dryly. Even if the equipment is moved from time to time, it is difficult for the guards to complete it without being aware of it.
The drug is not timely, it is a colorless and tasteless drug given by Ma Xuanming, who is actively meritorious, and the effect is similar to that of confusing the grandmother, but the effect is stronger. If you don't pay attention to someone casting it, no matter how good you are, you won't be able to notice that you are surrounded by drugs.
After about ten minutes, Zhao Yue secretly saw that the guards in the house had been tricked, and they were fixed in one square as if they were fixed by magic.
Alright, it's time to do it.
The two quickly sneaked to the palace gate.
Shi Qian used something to insert it into the big copper lock that locked the palace door and pounded it a few times, and soon opened the lock and sneaked into the palace to top the palace door.
There is a faint light coming through the depths of the palace. It was for the eunuchs who kept vigil inside.
Zhao Yue and Shi Qian both have night vision eyes, and Shi Qian has patronized this place, and it seems that he has already understood the situation in the palace, and he can move forward in the dark.
When he arrived at the light, Zhao Yue saw that it was a small palace room, without a door, more like an open hall, in which two middle-aged eunuchs were on duty, but at the moment in the dead of night, no one was watching, and the two eunuchs were sleepy and sitting on the futon according to the pillar, holding the snow-white dust and falling asleep.
Shi Qian lightly pointed in the direction of the jade divine platform behind the eunuch.
The jade statues of the Taoist Sanqingzun are listed on the jade platform. There is a golden incense burner with incense in front of the three statues.
A little farther away from the incense burner, there is a delicate jade plate about a foot in diameter, and there is a jade bottle with a foot high carved auspicious cloud god lotus and green dragon on the plate. (To be continued.) )
