"Search! Search for me! Search for us carefully! If you turn Cining Palace over, you have to find someone for me! Wang Yue's hysterical roar echoed in Cining Palace, and this scene was quite similar to the scene in Qianqing Palace a few months ago.

Li Zhong and the sturdy eunuchs he brought with him were rummaging through the cabinets in Cining Palace, and they searched extremely carefully, not even letting go of the ground, constantly knocking, probing, trying to find out where the tunnels that were very likely to exist.

The emperor suddenly disappeared from Kunning Palace, and then appeared in Xiyuan, in the case of the Forbidden City's four gates closed, it is unrealistic for him to mix out, the biggest possibility is that there is such a tunnel, connecting the Forbidden City and Xiyuan.

This kind of thing is not beyond the scope of Wang Yue's understanding, this thing has existed since ancient times, not to mention the palace, even if it is an official eunuch, there are many people who have left such a back road in their own mansions, ready to be used on the day of escape. The engineering team of Zhenbao Zhai is efficient and skilled, and after tossing and turning in the Forbidden City for several months, there is nothing difficult to understand if they want to dig a tunnel.

What really made the old eunuch wonder was, how did Xie Hong come up with the idea of digging this tunnel, and for what? The distance from the interior of the Forbidden City to the West Garden is not short, and if such a large project is to be completed in August, it must have been carried out at the beginning of the renovation work.

But at that time, Xie Hong and the emperor still had the upper hand in the court, except for Liu Daxia's occasional stumbling and clamoring for the use of force, although the adults in the court were dissatisfied with Xie Hong, but in fact the situation was quite calm.

What's more, the proposal of the emperor to move to the West Garden and then repair the Forbidden City was put forward even earlier, far away when Zhenbao Zhai was preparing to open.

What did Xie Hong think about it, and he actually planned to dig a tunnel at that time? Could it be that he really has the ability to pinch his fingers and predict today's situation?

You must know that this major event of today's plot, not to mention outsiders, even Wang Yue, the direct participants, were all ignorant and were involved, if it weren't for many factors of inconsistencies, who would have expected that the outer court would take such drastic measures to persuade the Son of Heaven?

Therefore, although he was not surprised by the methods used by Xie Hong, Wang Yue still did not understand Xie Hong's foresight. Moreover, when he arrived at Cining Palace, something even more surprising happened, the Queen Mother was gone!

Although the old eunuch was still roaring, he knew very well in his heart that everything was over, and without the Queen Mother, it would be impossible for him to make all the forbidden troops obey orders and raise his sword against the emperor with his own prestige.

The Master of Ceremonies? It looks remarkable, but in the final analysis, all the authority of the eunuchs comes from the emperor, and the eunuchs just execute it on their behalf.

Wang Yue knew very well that a small number of henchmen and cronies might still follow him all the way to the dark, but the vast majority of the forbidden army sergeants, as well as most of the generals, would not be able to support a eunuch with all their hearts, unless there was an emperor standing behind this eunuch! And in the Forbidden City, the only one who can compete with the emperor in terms of name is the queen mother.

His eyes had already begun to darken, and the long-live cries that continued to erupt from the south were higher and higher, obviously Xie Hong had the overall upper hand, as for how he did it, how he used a group of scouts to defeat the elite of the two battalions of the forbidden army, Wang Yue didn't think about it at all.

The man was a wicked man, since he could have started planning months ago; Since he can dig a tunnel to let the emperor get out of his control; Since it can lay down the mechanism and blow up the Xihua Gate; Since...... So, is it rare for him to use some means to defeat the forbidden army? Hehe, our family has suffered a lot of losses, so it won't be uncommon and strange.

Now it is obvious that since there is no one in Cining Palace, the Queen Mother must have avoided it in advance, and the means used...... "Gonggong Li, the Queen Mother really didn't go out, the slaves and maids have been guarding outside the gate, and they haven't been lazy for a moment...... "Like Qianqing Palace, Wang Yue also has eyeliner in Cining Palace. At this time, the eyeliner was being forced by Li Zhong to pull his neck, Li Zhong's face was pale, his expression was hideous and terrifying, and he obviously began to enter a state of madness.

"Then you tell our family, since the Queen Mother didn't go out, where is she now? Where is it! Li Zhong roared.

"Slave maid......" That eyeliner was already scared silly, he was just an eyeliner, how could he know such a profound question?

"Lao Li, don't make a noise with him, it's useless, you go outside to take a look, have the people who went to Kunning Palace and Renshou Palace come back?" Wang Yue said suddenly.

"Yes......" In desperation, Li Zhong still retained a glimmer of reason, although Wang Yue's broken ship was about to sink, but he couldn't get down now, either sink with him, or try to make the ship float again.

There is a queen in Kunning Palace, although she has only just taken up her post, after all, she is also a name, with the emperor's surname, you shouldn't be able to take care of the queen when you drill the tunnel, right? What's more, in addition to the queen and the queen mother, there is also the queen mother, and the identities of these two women combined, they are always worthy of a queen mother, right?

"Father-in-law Wang, Father-in-law Li, in fact, ......" Hearing this, the eyeliner hesitated and opened his mouth.

"Huh? Say whatever you want! Wang Yue's heart was cold again, and his eyeliner had been forced by Li Zhong for a long time, and it was obviously not good news to say it at this time.

"Although the Queen Mother didn't go out, the Queen Mother came, and she should have been in Cining Palace......"

"What?" Another thunderbolt on a sunny day, splitting the two big eunuchs were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, Wang Yue only felt that he couldn't breathe, the demon, it was really a demon, and even this kind of thing was counted in front!

The two queen mothers are obviously drilling the tunnel together. But how is that possible? The surname of those two people, Ge Wang Yue, knows very well, they are both very dignified women, even if Zhengde personally comes to persuade them, there is a crisis outside, I am afraid that they may not be able to persuade them, let alone let the two of them drill the tunnel together? The Empress Dowager even came from Renshou Palace to drill ...... Moreover, what did that demon think of the Forbidden City? How many tunnels did he dig? Wang Yue wants to cry without tears, this is the residence of the Son of Heaven, and it is not a ridge for planting sweet potatoes...... "Two fathers-in-law, it's not good, there is no one in Kunning Palace, and the queen is gone!" The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces drilled into the tunnel, and the two eunuchs looked at each other speechlessly, and at this time, the people who went to Kunning Palace also came back, bringing the last bad news.

"Wicked...... How the hell did he do it? Li Zhong's expression was no longer hideous, Wang Yue was even older than ten years old, his face turned completely pale in an instant, and he muttered helplessly, his heart full of puzzlement.

Death is a death sentence.

The last straw has disappeared, and the noise that is sounding outside Cining Palace also tells him another fact, the warrior camp has been defeated, and the emperor's soldiers and horses are killing Cining Palace, not to mention looking for the Queen Mother, just hold him hostage to the Queen Mother now, and it is too late to escape.

Therefore, he didn't think about his fate or anything, he was full of confusion in his heart, how did Xie Hong do all this? If he can't figure it out, he really won't be able to die!

His wish was satisfied, because the eyeliner suddenly added another sentence, with the old eunuch's dying clearness, he suddenly realized.

"In addition to the Empress Dowager, there is also Princess Yongfu ......"

"Hehe......" Wang Yue suddenly laughed, his voice hoarse, like metal rubbing, in the silence of Cining Palace, it was eerie and terrifying.

"Princess, let's go to the Imperial Horse Prison and Donghua Gate immediately! There are still ...... there," Li Zhong refused to give up. Just a few hours ago, he was still celebrating the impending victory, and now how could he suddenly become at the end of his rope? He didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand, such a gap was too unacceptable.

"It's useless, that demon has no last resort, and even Princess Yongfu has used this move, how can he leave that gap for us to drill?" Wang Yue shook his head dejectedly, but his thoughts were clearer than usual.

The emperor can't persuade him, it doesn't mean that no one can persuade the queen mother, as long as Princess Yongfu makes a trick, the queen mother must be shaken, and Princess Yongfu somehow said that the queen was moved, and the two girls came together, and the two queen mothers naturally understood the seriousness of the situation, so they ...... "Besides, even if he didn't have the idea of beating the imperial horse supervisor, but our messenger has already been sent, and not a single soldier has arrived until now." And now, the warrior battalion has been completely defeated, and a Teng Xiang right guard has been added, and the defeated soldiers have run all over the Forbidden City, and the other departments will not come just now, and they will not come now, even if they come, hehe, it is not to serve our family, but to our family! ”

Saying that, he sneered again: "Defeated in the hands of such a demon, our family is not wronged, but those adults in the outer court, calculating their own people, are all a top trick, after today, I want to see how they end, hey, it's a pity, I'm afraid our family can't see that scene, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity......"

Seeing that Wang Yue had no fighting spirit at all, the little momentum that Li Zhong had finally mustered up was also discharged.

Wang Yue's sigh He also knew that the messenger who asked for help from the outer court had already been sent, and the main force of the Beijing camp was so close to the Forbidden City, but he never saw the arrival of reinforcements, but faintly heard the sound of artillery from the south...... Obviously, the Jingying has begun to besiege the Ordnance Division, in order to understand what Li Zhong understands, isn't it the wealth and craftsmen inside?

But why don't these guys want to think about it, after the situation in the Forbidden City gets out of control, even if they really take over the Weapons Division, how can they last long? The overall situation is important, and this sentence is often on the lips of scholars and doctors, but every time it comes to a critical moment, these sanctimonious guys are duplicitous, thinking about their own interests.

"What the prince said is, let's be under Jiuquan, let's see how they end, hahaha......" Li Zhong no longer suppressed his emotions, his legs were weak, he sat down on the ground, and laughed out loud.

The eunuchs who were originally following the two eunuchs also knew everything when they saw this, the trees fell and scattered, and seeing that the building was about to collapse, these people no longer continued to search the tunnel, they all turned around and escaped from Cining Palace and disappeared into the night.

Although it may still be found out and liquidated in the future, it is a matter of time to escape for a while, staying by Wang Yue's side is a certain death, and a thousand cuts are light. Didn't you hear the shouts outside? The emperor wants to avenge Emperor Xiaozong, in the Forbidden City, who can harm Emperor Xiaozong except Wang Yue?

Even if it is liquidated later, it is better than being buried now, you know, now the emperor is killing the surname, and even has personally killed the knife, and the defeated soldiers have been shouting 'The emperor is coming'!

So, when Ma Yongcheng led the guards and rushed into Cining Palace, in the huge palace, he only saw two eunuchs paralyzed. However, he was not disappointed, because the arrest of these two eunuchs represented the final victory in the battle of the Forbidden City.
