Tao Guiren's hand holding the child was already shaking.

Although he also knew that once he entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea, but he never expected that the depth of the water was far beyond her imagination.

In order to remove the obstacles for his grandson to compete for the throne in the future, did he completely lose the last bit of face and dignity of this old guy?

This fang is really infuriating.

Tao Guiren is a smart girl, but she has not yet reached the point where she has finished this black-hearted old fritter, her mind at the moment is like being struck by lightning, a blank one, and she doesn't know what to do.

Tao Guiren didn't know what to do, but the eunuchs and palace maids behind her couldn't stand it.

Although they were slaves, they also cared about their own lives, and now they were going to abandon them all after hearing about it, and they suddenly became a pot of porridge, like a swarm of headless flies, desperately bumping back and forth in the main hall of Deyang Palace.

The problem is that there are still some armies in the palm of Fu Wan's hands, and these troops, under the instruction of Fu Wan, slaughtered those crazy eunuchs and palace maids, and immediately controlled the scene.

Looking at those companions who were lying in a pool of blood, although the eunuchs were still afraid, they did not dare to make another attempt, but only covered their mouths, stared at their frightened eyes, and did not dare to move when they stayed in place.

After Fu Wan glanced at everyone indifferently, and then said slowly: "You are all the ministers of the Son of Heaven, as the so-called king's ministers have to die, you are here to guard the foundation for Your Majesty, and those who act recklessly will be killed." ”

After that, he didn't look back, didn't look at Tao Guiren, turned his head and led some of his cronies to the outside of the hall.

And some of the dead soldiers under the control of the ambush retreated outside the hall, carefully guarded, to see who dared to take a step out of the Deyang Palace, and then killed on the spot.

As soon as the figure disappeared, the hall suddenly fell into a wail.

The eunuchs and court ladies crouched on the ground, weeping bitterly over their fate, which they could already see.

Tao Guiren stood in place, his beautiful eyes were slightly red, and he trembled all over, not knowing what to do.

"Wow~!"

The baby in his arms suddenly let out a cry, which awakened Tao Guiren's consciousness.

She shook her head vigorously, looked down at the baby in her hand, her teeth clenched her lower lip tightly, and the panic in her eyes gradually calmed down, replaced by a hint of calmness and strength.

If it was only herself, Tao Guiren might have given up hope now, after all, she was just a weak woman, and in this shocking situation where the capital was attacked every day, she was just a drop in the ocean, unable to influence or change the situation on either side.

There is only one reason that can get her out of this regular state, if it exists.

Because she is a mother.

Holding the baby in his hand tighter, Tao Guiren turned around and began to look at the eunuchs and palace maids.

When she was young, her eyes fell on the body of Ma Xun, who was a regular attendant.

Tao Guiren passed through the wailing eunuchs and palace maids and came to Ma Xun's side.

Ma Xun also had a look of disgrace at the moment, and when she saw Tao Hua coming over, she couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Nobleman, ...... you are?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Tao Guiren kneeling to the ground towards Ma Xun with a "poof".

Ma Xun was shocked when he saw this, he weakly stretched out his hand to stop Tao Guiren, and said, "What are you doing, noble, get up quickly!" ”

Tao Guiren stood up, and she whispered to Ma Xun: "Today's situation, this palace is afraid that it will die on the eve of the day, and it is powerless to return to the sky, but Xi'er is young, and it is the dragon bloodline of His Majesty, so she must not die in this kind of place. ”

Ma Xun's calloused veteran hands were trembling at the moment.

"Your honor, this ...... Alas! The old slave is favored by His Majesty, and he is often taken care of by the Taifu on weekdays, and the nobleman has nothing to say to the old slave...... It's just that there are dead soldiers guarding outside this hall, and the old slave has no power to kill chickens, how can he go, but he can walk out of this hall? ”

Tao Guiren looked around, and saw that everyone was either crying bitterly, or howling at the bottom of the scream, and then said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from the regular servant, the back of this Deyang Palace, in fact, there is a secret passage, which leads directly to the outside of the palace, but it is very narrow, and it can only allow one to get out at a time." ”

Ma Xun suddenly perked up when he heard this, and said, "Really? ”

Tao Guiren nodded lightly and said, "It shouldn't be wrong, this is a time when Your Majesty was drunk and specially told me, and he also instructed me not to tell outsiders...... His Majesty has suffered many hardships since he was a child, and he knows the way to protect himself, so he secretly ordered someone to dig a secret passage in the apse of the Deyang Hall to escape in danger. ”

Ma Xun said in a low voice: "If this is the case, the old slave will protect the nobles and escape!" ”

Tao Guiren shook his head and said resolutely: "If I disappear in this hall, it will inevitably arouse everyone's suspicions, once people know about the secret passage, they will inevitably be robbed at that time, and the dead people outside the hall will find out, and I am afraid that no one will be able to leave at that time." ”

Speaking of this, Tao Guiren sighed and said: "This palace stays here, stabilize everyone, Ah Weng holds Xi'er, and takes off from the dark passage, if the sky can see mercy for Ah Weng to escape this catastrophe, please also ask Ah Weng to hand over this child to my brother Tao Taifu, please ask him to see that blood is thicker than water, help my sister raise this child, and tell him the cause of my death today, let my brother kill the ambush, Dong Cheng and other thieves, avenge me." ”

When Ma Xun heard this, he couldn't help but tremble, he looked at Tao Guiren in surprise, and he was swinging all over.

"Nobleman, you must not take your life ......"

Tao Guiren said in a low voice: "The stakes are very high, time is pressing, Ah Weng doesn't need to persuade me, I will tell you the secret passage......"

After that, Tao Guiren whispered a few words in Ma Xun's ear.

Then, without waiting for Ma Xun to answer, he saw Tao Guiren turn around and shout at the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall who were still crying: "What's the use of crying here? Can crying make people outside cry to death, and can crying save our lives? ”

After shouting out the words, I saw many eunuchs and palace maids turning their heads together, looking at Tao Guiren who was shouting with surprise on their faces.

Tao Guiren strode to the middle of the Deyang Palace, and shouted at the people in the hall: "There are foreigners attacking the city outside, and there are traitors murdering inside, isn't it ridiculous that you are still crying here and waiting for death?" ”

After saying that, I saw her beckoning to Ma Xun and said, "Zhongchang waiter, please come over for a while." ”

Ma Xun trembled and walked to Tao Guiren's side.

Tao Guiren stretched out his hand and handed the child to Ma Xun, and said: "Zhongchang is old, stay in the rear later, protect the prince for the palace, and the rest of the people, if you want to live, just find something to take advantage of in this hall and take a way out!" ”

Ma Xun took the child from Tao Guiren's hand, and tears glistened in his old eyes.
