Chapter 1004: The Beginning of the New Year
Lu Cancan's intuition told her that something big must happen in the palace tonight, and Gu Moxi already knew about it.
"Anyway, you leave first."
Gu Moxi didn't seem to intend to tell Lu Cancan what was going on, he just asked her to leave, but the more he did this, the more Lu Cancan could feel the seriousness of the matter.
"I'm not leaving."
What happened recently is really too weird and abnormal, Lu Cancan is fed up with the feeling of being kept in the dark and not knowing anything and being treated as a fool, either Gu Moxi will tell everything to himself, or let himself check.
She's not willful, she's just too eager to know the truth.
"Cancan, will you listen to me once?"
Gu Moxi's tone carried these pleadings, when the matter was over, he would definitely tell her everything, but the time was not yet ripe, because even Gu Moxi himself didn't know how things would develop.
All he could do was not let these things affect Lu Cancan.
"Everything I do is for you, for Dayan, can you believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but I have my own things to do, and since you don't want to tell me, then please don't stop me, okay?"
Lu Cancan wanted to catch up with the group of black shadows just now, but Gu Moxi had no intention of letting her go.
He wants to protect Lu Cancan at all costs, even if it makes her annoy him, it doesn't matter.
Behind Gu Moxi, a few people walked out, and Lu Cancan remembered that they were Gu Moxi's secret guards.
"Cancan, I'm sorry."
"Do you want to do it with me?"
"I just want to take you to a safe place for the time being, I'm sorry Cancan, I have to do it now."
Gu Moxi took a step back and motioned for those secret guards to take Lu Cancan away.
She knew that Gu Moxi's secret guards were all skilled, and she would have no chance of winning if she fought hard with these people.
In that case, it is only necessary to outwit.
Lu Cancan shook a shot, looking as if he was planning to escape, but when those secret guards approached, he spilled a handful of white powder from his hands.
The secret guards knew that Lu Cancan was a ghost doctor's apprentice and would use poison, and they all thought that it was some kind of poison, so they immediately retreated, taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Cancan quickly turned around and fled.
The secret guards were afraid that they would be poisoned, and they all wanted to get rid of the powder on their bodies immediately, and they couldn't chase Lu Cancan, but they found that the powder didn't seem to be poisonous.
If you look closely, it turns out to be just ordinary flour.
"Master, we'll chase after you right away."
"No need."
Gu Moxi watched Lu Cancan's figure disappear into the imperial garden, even if she chased it now, Lu Cancan would definitely not be caught, she would definitely try her best to escape, and the secret guard might hurt Lu Cancan at that time.
"But master, our plan has already begun, and there is no way to stop it now."
"Keep doing what you have to do."
Gu Moxi raised his head and looked at the sky where not a single star could be seen, the wheel of fate had already turned forward, and no one could stop it.
Lu Cancan hid in the shadows for a while, making sure that no one caught up.
Even the secret guards have been brought into the palace, what does Gu Moxi plan to do?
She saw that there was no one outside and walked out quietly, and the sound of armor clashing came to her ears, as if someone was coming.
She jumped up the tree next to her, and saw a group of Praetorian guards passing under the tree, all heavily armed, wearing heavy armor and sabers, and their bodies were full of murder.
On weekdays, the forbidden army would not wear it like this, and they looked like soldiers who were about to go to war.
Battlefield?
Lu Cancan raised her head and looked at the palace, she stood on the tree, and could see the lanterns on the palace banquet not far away.
The forbidden soldiers seemed to be waiting for something, and they all stood quietly in the shadows, and they couldn't be seen unless they were particularly careful.
These people don't seem to be the same group of people as the black shadows that Lu Cancan saw just now, could it be that there is still a group of soldiers in the palace? How did they get in?
The more Lu Cancan thought about it, the more strange it became, she jumped from the tree to the roof on tiptoe, and found that there were not only forbidden soldiers in the palace, but also many fewer palace maids and eunuchs.
She nimbly jumped on the rooftop, trying to see if anyone was suspicious.
Slightly, she seemed to hear an exclamation, but faintly, but she heard it.
Jumping down following the sound, Lu Cancan saw a little eunuch lying on the ground, his throat was cut by someone, and he was about to die.
Lu Cancan looked at the little eunuch's wide eyes, and he didn't bat at himself.
She closed the eunuch's eyes, and she felt that his blood was still very warm, and even the blood on his neck showed no signs of coagulation, he had just been killed.
Perhaps, the man who killed him was around here.
There was a chill coming from the back of her head, and before Lu Cancan's brain could react, her body had already moved, she flashed the sword behind her and then pulled out the soft sword from her sleeve, entangled the man's sword.
The advantage of the soft sword is that it is flexible, and the femininity and dexterity of women can complement each other with the soft sword to overcome the rigidity with softness.
The man obviously didn't expect Lu Cancan's martial arts skills to be so high as a woman dressed as a maid, his wrist was stabbed by the soft sword, and the long sword fell to the ground out of his hand, and when he wanted to pick up the long sword, Lu Cancan's sword was already aimed at him.
"Who are you and why are you in the palace."
Lu Cancan stared at him tightly, wanting an answer, but the man sneered and hit Lu Cancan's sword blade directly, and he was angry at that time.
Seeing the corpse on the ground, Lu Cancan was a little stunned, dead?
She lifted the black veil from the man's face, whom he had never seen before.
Just when she wanted to see if there was anything on this person that could prove his identity, she suddenly saw a fire not far away.
"Go to the water, Fengzao Palace is to go to the water!"
The gong in the palace sounded, and the emperor and all the ministers at the palace banquet also heard it, and as soon as the queen heard that her palace was on fire, she quickly got up and wanted to tell the palace people to put out the fire, but the emperor did not hurry to let the queen sit down.
"The play hasn't started yet, don't worry, queen."
The queen couldn't understand what the emperor was saying, but the emperor said that no one was allowed to leave, and she could only sit down again.
The Fengzao Palace not far away was on fire, except for the courtiers and the emperor, everyone went to put out the fire, and the ministers became more and more confused why the emperor could still sit still.
"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is a fire in the palace, which means that the next year will be prosperous, so you Aiqing will drink this cup with Shu!"
Seeing that the emperor was smiling on his face, the ministers looked at each other and wondered if the emperor was crazy, but they all picked up the wine glass in front of them.
Except for Yang Yan.
