The current Sun Mansion is not more concerned about the nature of the academy than before, and he can take the opportunity to do business by playing side balls, and he is now a court official, so he naturally has to guard against people's eyes and ears and leave no handle on others.

After Zhao Nanxing was assigned to the frontier, the procedures for his appointment in Dali Temple were quickly transferred from the Ministry of Officials, allowing him to go to Dali Temple in a righteous and bright manner. At the same time, after Wei Zhongxian defeated the Donglin Party, he vigorously promoted the officials who had been suppressed by Zhao Nanxing, and a number of eunuch officials held important positions in the court.

Zhu Tongmeng, a member of the eunuch party, was appointed as the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, Guo Yunhou was appointed as the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, Huo Weihua was appointed as the criminal department of the Imperial Palace, Cui Chengxiu was appointed as the secretary of the Taichang Temple, etc., and even Ruan Dacheng, a traitor of the Donglin Party, also sought the position of Taichang Shaoqing in the eunuch party.

At this point, the situation of Donglin single-handedly controlling the government was completely broken, and in addition to Ye Xianggao, who was recuperating from illness, only the second assistant Han Kuang was left struggling in the cabinet, and the rest were eunuch ministers such as Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei and others.

Just when Sun Yueling was at a loss, Princess Zhu Huiyan brought him a piece of news through Liu Qing: Concubine Cheng Li Liemei was trapped in Changchun Palace by Wei Zhongxian because of her confrontation with the Hakka family, and all food supplies were cut off.

Sun Yueling was shocked when he heard this, Li Liemei is Li Ruobing's only daughter and his younger sister, Li Ruobing repeatedly told him before leaving, if Li Liemei has something, how can he explain to Li Ruobing?

After sending Liu Qing away, Sun Yueling paced back and forth in the mansion, unable to feel at ease.

Li Liemei's temperament is extremely strong, and this time she offended the Hakka family, presumably even the queen couldn't save her. With the character of Keyin Yue's retribution, thinking of Concubine Zhang Yu who was forced to death by her, Li Liemei's fate is in danger. This incident seems to be accidental, and it cannot be ruled out that Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan did it deliberately, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence, not long after Li Ruobing left Jingshi, his daughter suffered immediately.

But he is a foreign minister, how can he save Li Liemei, who is in the deep palace? The people who could save her were few others except for Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian. This is Tianqi's family matter, it is impossible for him to go directly to Tianqi to intercede, and Wei Zhongxian is his opponent, let alone pull down his face to beg him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Sun Yueling finally made up his mind, broke into the palace to save people, and secretly took Li Liemei out of the palace. This is what Li Ruobing explained to her when she left, and it was really impossible to take her out of the palace, it was better than being tortured to death by the Hakka family and others.

Thinking about it, he decided to sneak into the imperial city in the middle of the night and quietly take Li Liemei away. But this idea seems simple, but in fact it is dangerous and abnormal, there is a forbidden army stationed in the imperial city, heavily guarded, and there are many masters, he wants to sneak in secretly, and then bring a woman out unknowingly, I am afraid it will be difficult to ascend to the sky.

But he had to think that this was the only way he could think of at the moment. And we can't delay, otherwise who knows what unimaginable things will happen.

In the middle of the night, Sun Yueling was dressed in a black night-walking waterproof suit, covered his face with a black scarf, brought the claws borrowed from Fang Yichen, and wrapped the long sword on his back tightly with a black tarpaulin, and touched it near the Taifu Temple. He planned to sneak in from this position, because the Taiye Pool in the Imperial City was adjacent to this street, and as long as he climbed over the high wall of the Imperial City and dived into the Taiye Pool, he could quickly approach the Miyagi.

After rescuing Li Liemei at that time, it is bound to be more comfortable returning from the original route, greatly reducing the possibility of him being discovered by the imperial city guards.

To be honest, although he has entered the imperial city and the Qianqing Palace, he has really never been to the harem. Although he had done his homework before the action, and had clearly memorized the palace layout, porch and aisle in the harem, he was still apprehensive in his heart, after all, this was the Forbidden City, which broke into the emperor's residence late at night and had an extremely complicated geographical location, and if he was slightly negligent, it would lead to a catastrophe.

At this time, it has passed the ugly hour, the sky is as black as ink, only the faint moonlight is sprinkled, Sun Yueling raised his body and quietly, and quietly came to the foot of the imperial city, only to see the winding imperial city wall winding from the front, unattainable, and it looks extremely heavy and solemn against the background of the forest trees, giving people a strong sense of psychological oppression.

Sun Yueling no longer hesitated, and with a shake of his hand, the ice silk rope of the Heavenly Divine Claw flew straight up to the head of the imperial city wall under the full of energy, and then he pulled it vigorously, flew up, and swept towards the wall head that was more than three zhang high.

He silently climbed on the wall, poked out half of his head to look inside, and saw that it was full of trees, flowers and grass, and it was clearly a no-man's corner. In the distance, the Taiye Pond Lake is full of water, the lights and candles are shining, and a lonely temple sits on the peninsula across the Taiye Pool, and a pair of neatly arranged forbidden troops patrol by from time to time.

He was overjoyed, and hurriedly collected his claws, jumped up, landed on the branch of the tallest tree inside, and then quickly fell down, diving in the direction of the Taiye Pool.

Located in the southwest corner of the Imperial City, very remote, he easily reached the peninsula across the Taiye Pool, and then evaded two patrolling guards and came to the Imperial Prison Quarters near the Imperial Palace.

The closer you get to Miyagi, the stricter the guards of the forbidden army in charge of guarding them, almost ten steps and one post, and one sentry in a hundred steps. He hid in the shadows of the leafy trees on the edge of the Taiye Pool, and quickly dived straight ahead along the embankment of the Taiye Pool, and soon came to the back of the War Bureau.

As long as you cross the moat in front of the battle, you can successfully sneak into the Forbidden City.

Sun Yueling's breathing couldn't help but become a little short, and his heartbeat accelerated.

He crouched in the shadows of the roof tiles of the War Bureau, peering at the Praetorian Guards patrolling the road ahead, waiting for the best moment. Entering the harem from this direction, you can reach Changchun Palace as soon as possible to implement his plan to save people.

But the closer you get to Miyagi, the more heavily guarded it becomes. This section of the road closest to Miyagi is full of patrolling forbidden troops, but if there is a negligence, he will leak his traces.

Taking advantage of a gap in the alternate patrols of the forbidden army, Sun Yueling launched, he raised his real strength, jumped up after a few steps to run, and threw himself on the roof tiles of the straight house opposite, like a meteor instantly piercing a corner of the sky. When he landed on the eaves, a pair of patrolling Forbidden Army soldiers passed from behind, narrowly avoiding the danger of being discovered.

The ten-zhang wide Miyagi moat lay in front of him, and it was impossible for him to jump over such a distance, so he could only dive into the water and sneak towards the Miyagi city wall. Soon, he swam across the moat and came to the base of the palace wall, and then shot the Heavenly Claw again, climbing the head of the palace wall.

Under the faint moonlight, the deep harem of the entire temple immediately appeared in front of you.

Sun Yueling did not hesitate any longer, and after observing the general direction, he quickly swept towards the direction of Changchun Palace.

The guards of the palace city are obviously much lighter than those of the imperial city, especially the current harem, there is not a single forbidden army in sight, and some are just some eunuch soldiers who are on duty at night. These eunuchs were just putting on a show, and they couldn't find him high and high at all, and it didn't take long for him to come to the eaves of the side hall of Changchun Palace very easily.

I saw that there were several young eunuchs guarding the front and back of the palace, obviously the Hakka family was afraid that she would sneak out, so they ordered someone to keep an eye on it.

Just as he was about to sneak to the main hall, by the moonlight, he saw a slender figure dressed in black climbing up under the northwest wall, carrying a black package on his back, which looked very strange.

His curiosity was aroused, it was the middle of the night, who couldn't sleep like him and ran to Changchun Palace, could it be that Fang Yichen or Huang Tianlai also came? He couldn't help but feel secretly surprised, now only the brothers who care about their cousins will care about Li Ruobing's precious daughter.

He leaned in silently, and saw that the man in black had climbed up to another side hall, and was slowly hanging the rope from it, trying to slide into the courtyard.

At this time, the moonlight shone on the man's face, and since the man in black did not cover his face, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it. This person is none other than Zhu Huiyan, the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty who forced him to marry last time.

After she slipped down, Sun Yueling also jumped to the side lightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Princess, why are you here too?" ”

Suddenly, Zhu Huiyan was taken aback when she heard someone calling her behind her, and hurriedly turned around and sobbed at him, "You...... Who are you? Then, as if hearing his voice, he stared into his eyes and said, "Is that you?" ”

Sun Yueling took off his mask and said, "Yes, it's me." ”

Seeing his appearance clearly, Zhu Huiyan breathed a long sigh of relief, patted her heart, and sighed: "I was scared to death, I thought I was discovered." Then he asked puzzledly: "Why are you here, you are so bold that you dare to sneak into the harem." ”

Sun Yueling said: "After I received Liu Qing's report, I planned to sneak here to rescue my junior sister. What's wrong with her, is she okay? ”

Zhu Huiyan said: "She's fine, there shouldn't be any problem, but she is very depressed and a little irritable." You're going to get her out, no, how can that be? ”

Sun Yueling sighed and said, "I have no choice, I have to do it, I can't sit back and watch my junior sister starve to death by them, right?" ”

Zhu Huiyan smiled: "With me, how could she be starved to death?" Patting the package behind him, he said, "I secretly come to bring her food and water every few days, and she is so full that she can't die." ”

Sun Yueling didn't expect such a show, and said happily: "That's great, hard work princess, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Zhu Huiyan frowned and said angrily: "You big liar, why haven't you done what you promised me?" ”

"This ......" Sun Yueling couldn't imagine that the princess would never forget it, "There have been too many things that have happened recently, and I really can't keep busy." After I save my sister out, I will definitely find a way to open my mouth to the emperor so as not to disappoint the princess greatly. At this point, he could only continue to flicker, hoping to calm her anger.

Zhu Huiyan snorted lightly and said, "After tonight, if you don't take action again, be careful that I won't let you go." ”

Sun Yueling laughed, and quickly changed the topic: "Are we going to see my junior sister?" ”

Zhu Huiyan nodded and said, "Yes, I almost forgot about business." He took him by the arm and said, "Follow me." ”

The two came to the door of the main hall of Changchun Palace, Zhu Huiyan knocked on the door of the palace and whispered: "Sister Liemei, Sister Liemei......"

After a while, a slight footstep sounded, and the door of the hall was gently opened, revealing half of Li Liemei's head, and muttered in a low voice: "Oh, you are here, starve me to death......" Seeing Sun Yueling's face, he was taken aback, and sobbed, "You...... Senior Brother...... Why are you here too? ”

Zhu Huiyan said with a smile: "Your senior brother can't rest assured of you, so I came to see you." Don't let us in and talk yet. ”

The three of them entered the hall and sat down in the window position, Zhu Huiyan unwrapped the package, took out a lot of pastries, melons and fruits and other foods from the inside, and took out a large pot filled with water, handed it to Li Liemei and said, "Oh, this is what you want." ”

Li Liemei was overjoyed to take it, stuffed a few pastries into her mouth, and said vaguely while swallowing: "Thanks to you, Sister Huang, otherwise I would really starve to death." ”

Watching Li Liemei swallow and chew, Sun Yueling's heart was sour, and he said, "Senior sister, you have lost weight!" ”

Unexpectedly, Li Liemei pursed her lips and said to him: "It's not good to lose weight, do you want me to grow into a big fat man?" Hmph, it's not so easy for Ke Yinyue to starve me to death, she's wishful thinking, so I'll take it as weight loss. ”

Seeing that she was still so strong in such a situation, Sun Yueling smiled dumbly and said: "Senior sister, the master told me before the old man left, if you are persecuted in the palace, let me take you away." I came this time to take you out of the palace, to stay away from this inhumane deep palace, and never to ...... again."

Before she finished speaking, Li Liemei shouted, "If you don't go, I won't go." ”

Sun Yueling was extremely surprised and said, "Why don't you leave?" ”

"I'm doing well now, why should I leave?" Li Liemei glared at him and said angrily, "My father only thinks of me now, what did he do earlier?" At the beginning, I refused to enter this palace, but he forced me to come in, but now it's good, I will leave without saying a word. Does he still treat me as his daughter? He just treated me like a casual person, like a commodity that could be bought and sold at will! As he spoke, tears flowed down his cheeks, and his face looked more and more lonely and sad in the moonlight.

Sun Yueling sighed secretly and persuaded: "Master, he has no choice, you have to understand his hard work!" Since things have come to this point, leaving is the best option, why should you fight with him? ”

Li Liemei wiped away her tears with her sleeves, poured herself a large mouthful of water, and said: "He was the one who asked me to marry into the palace at the beginning, and now he is the one who told me to run away secretly, why should I listen to him?" You go and tell him that this time I won't listen to him again, I will never leave secretly like this, even if I die, I will die in the palace. ”

Sun Yueling hurriedly said: "Senior sister, if you have any accidents, how can I face the old man of the master?" ”

"You tell him it's my own decision, and I'm going to decide my destiny." Li Liemei looked directly at Sun Yueling with both eyes and said with a resolute expression. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
