In the crowd listening to Chen Bogu's words, two figures were struggling to squeeze forward one after the other, it was Zhang Lihua, the unkempt and unkempt concubine in coarse cloth clothes, and Chen Cheng, the princess of Ningyuan who looked similar, squeezed forward.

There are people everywhere, old and young, men and women, Zhang Lihua's strength is not very large, and she has to walk with the weak Chen Cheng in the crowded crowd, which is very difficult for her.

But this can't stop Zhang Lihua, although it is still far away from the carriage, she has to squeeze over, and she has to take Chen Cheng with her, because the person who preached loudly there was Chen Bogu, the king of Xin'an, and Yuan Xian, a servant of Shangshu.

These two people both recognize her and Princess Ning Yuan, and Chen Bogu has always been close to the Son of Heaven, Yuan Xiangang is upright, Zhang Lihua feels that after these two see her and Chen Cheng, they will definitely not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and will not lock her and Chen Cheng up as chaotic people for some purpose, and then poison her.

Zhang Lihua has experienced many ups and downs in the palace, knowing that people are separated from their stomachs, and people who smile and frolic on the surface may be planning poisonous plans in their hearts, she is the most favored by the Son of Heaven, and she has offended many people openly and secretly.

It's not for nothing that people want to replace her or get rid of her, even if they didn't have this kind of mind before, they will have it now.

Those concubines and beauties, most of them were sent into the palace by civil and military officials to please the Son of Heaven, and then waited for the opportunity to favor the harem.

People's hearts are sinister, and they must act steadily at critical times, so Zhang Lihua has been waiting for an opportunity.

Even if the rebels retreated, Zhang Lihua, who had been hiding in a house somewhere in Changganli, did not show up easily, nor did she let Chen Cheng show up easily, Zhang Lihua didn't dare to trust any officials and generals casually, and she didn't dare to reveal her identity and Chen Cheng's identity casually.

I won't entrust anyone to deliver the news, so I don't know if I'm sold, so I stupidly wait for the palace to send someone to pick it up.

And Changganli has been blocked by the official army, she can't run out with Chen Cheng, and run to the gate of Taicheng to identify herself to the forbidden army, so she can only wait, and live in the dirty and messy Changgan like other civilians.

When the chaos broke out that day, Zhang Lihua and Chen Wan escaped the clutches of the rebels thanks to the rescue of the monk Zhiyuan, and later Zhiyuan asked a family to shelter them, and from time to time brought food from Huayuan to satisfy their hunger.

Because Zhiyuan often walks among the people, he is very popular in Changganli, and the family that took in Zhang Lihua and Chen Cheng is kind even though the family background is not good, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Lihua and Chen Cheng spent that period of fear safely, and they have been hiding their identities.

And just when the official army repelled the rebels, Zhiyuan disappeared.

Zhang Lihua quietly inquired and found out that it was said that Zhiyuan was coerced by the rebels, and his life and death were unknown.

Without Zhiyuan, there will be no asylum asylum, Zhang Lihua and Chen Cheng continue to live in that family's house, there is no problem, but what to do next can only make their own decisions.

Chen Cheng grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and was cared for like the stars and the moon, she had never experienced anything at all, she had a soft personality and no assertiveness, and she only knew how to cry when she encountered something, so Zhang Lihua could only rely on herself.

She was born in a military family, has lived in the alleys since she was a child, tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, knew that people's hearts were sinister, and also knew that things were not in a hurry, so she finally survived for a few days, and finally waited for the opportunity - today, important officials from the imperial court came to Changganli to appease the people, and she could announce her identity in public to ensure that nothing went wrong.

The carriage where Chen Bogu and Yuan Xian were was in front of them, about fifty steps away, Zhang Lihua was already tired and out of breath at this time, and the people in front of her were getting denser and denser, and she was about to squeeze in.

If she squeezed forward alone after letting go of Chen Cheng, she was still a little sure that she would squeeze near the carriage, but Zhang Lihua couldn't let go, because she had to let Chen Cheng be rescued together.

Putting aside other factors, Zhang Lihua needs Chen Cheng to prove her "innocence" and prove that she has not been tarnished, so as not to make the official family feel sorry for her and not be favored.

The Zhiyuan monk who is well known to Chen Shubao can prove that Zhang Lihua has not been defiled by others, and Chen Shubao will definitely believe what Zhiyuan said, but now that Zhiyuan has been kidnapped by the rebels, only Chen Cheng is the only one who can testify.

You don't need to say much, as long as you ask the palace maid to give Chen Cheng a 'physical examination', you can know that Chen Cheng is a perfect body, and you can prove that Zhang Lihua is not lost - Chen Cheng also has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, since it is okay, of course Zhang Lihua is fine.

This is a statement prepared by Zhang Lihua for herself, so she must let Chen Cheng be rescued with herself, and now, they are about to be rescued!

It was easy to squeeze to a distance of less than thirty steps from the carriage, Zhang Lihua was no longer able to continue to move forward with Chen Cheng, seeing Chen Bogu talking loudly in the carriage, she decided to shout directly to indicate the identity of herself and Chen Cheng.

"New..."

"Assassin! There are assassins! ”

The sudden shouting interrupted Zhang Lihua's "King Xin'an", and the onlookers didn't react, but they saw that among the forbidden troops surrounding the carriage, someone went to pull Chen Bogu and Yuan Xian who were standing in the carriage.

Zhang Lihua was stunned when she saw this, and saw a feather arrow flying next to her, which shot straight into Chen Bogu's chest, and at the same time, he was ripped off the carriage by the forbidden soldiers.

"Murder! Killed! ”

Someone shouted in horror, and when Chen Bogu was hit by an arrow, Yuan Xian was also ripped off the carriage and protected, there was chaos around the carriage, and the people who witnessed all this near the carriage retreated in horror.

The crowd was already crowded, and the sudden assassination made many people's heads blank, and they involuntarily retreated, and on the roof of the house, the assassin who shot a cold arrow was shot down by the forbidden archers, and the other forbidden soldiers began to shout "catch the assassin".

The voices came and went, and many people had not yet come to their senses, only to see a commotion near the carriage, and at the same time, someone in the crowd shouted: "The officers and soldiers have killed someone!" The officers and soldiers have been arrested! The officers and soldiers are going to arrest everyone and kill them!! ”

The shouts of fishing in troubled waters made the already chaotic crowd boil, and many people thought that the government was deliberately luring everyone out, so that they could settle the accounts after they were all in a net, which means that the government did not have a good heart from the beginning.

Seeing that it was useless to blame the people, everyone couldn't help but run out in horror, wanting to escape.

The Suzaku Imperial Road, which was originally crowded and almost impassable, boiled instantly, and the people who rushed to the road desperately pushed the people in front of them, and they were desperately pushed by the people behind them.

Some people fell, some tripped up, and those who were in a hurry to flee tried to step over the people who fell to the ground at first, while more and more people didn't care so much and stepped on them directly, and a massive trampling followed, with cries, shouts, and roars one after another.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army, who maintained order on both sides of the street, tried to stop the riots of the crowd at first, but their actions made the people who did not know the truth more and more convinced that they were going to arrest people, and many dogs jumped over the wall to fight with the soldiers, and the scene began to get out of control.

Among the fleeing crowd, Zhang Lihua and Chen Cheng were also among them, and they were carried out by the crowd, unable to help themselves, getting farther and farther away from the carriage.

Zhang Lihua looked back at the carriage, anxious in her heart, wanting to shout loudly, but the noise around her was so loud that even if she shouted through her throat, she couldn't be heard.
