Chapter 159: Leaving the Guilt Behind
Rong Yixuan's eyes widened, watching her hurriedly open the cell door and step into the prison, and for a while she was stiff and overwhelmed.
"Lord, if nothing else, someone will come to the sky in a while, and there is a carriage for traveling in the woods outside, with water and dry food in it, and it is an ordinary carriage when the exterior is torn off. The city gate has just been opened at this time, and the king should not receive the order to close, the prince first went out from the north gate and then detoured to the west road, where there should be people to pick up the prince, and the prince can take the golden order to face them. The fine iron sword given by the emperor was stolen not long ago, and it is expected that it will also be handed over to the prince in the future. Please go straight to Yunzhou and don't look back. Ruoyun took out the golden order and stuffed it into his hand, and the other one had already been taken out of the treasury of King Huai's Mansion and transported out of the city early.
King Huai did not report the theft of the golden order and the fine iron sword in the treasury by the rest of King Rong, and did not seem to want to participate in the confrontation of the Rong family's power. Relying on Zhang Yu in Yu Linwei's secret communication book and others, and pretending to travel outside the palace to ask someone to prepare a car and horse, she must have taken a great risk to do this, fortunately she found a secret way out of the palace, and did not bother Yu Linwei to let him go, which somewhat cleared Zhang Yu.
The emperor may have been aware of this, but she had no choice but to let go with Shuyan and the others - and Shuyan had already used herself as bait to rescue Rong Yixuan in exchange for her.
"You...... How could you ......" Rong Yixuan was obviously shocked, and hesitated to reach out to hold her, but she dodged sideways.
"The prince pretended to attack the Qingping Sect, so he was stranded on the border of Yunzhou and secretly communicated with General Zhao, and the prince was not nowhere to go. General Zhao did not desperately return to Beijing to pick up the prince, presumably there are not a few people in Beijing and along the way. The emperor returned to Beijing suddenly. Although these horses are not powerful, they have become the back road of the prince. She smiled, and such a great sin was as trivial as talking about rouge gouache in her mouth.
Rong Yixuan looked at her in a daze. I wanted to open my mouth several times but couldn't say anything, and the hand that wanted to hold her was suspended in the air.
Ruoyun looked at him with cold and heroic eyebrows, thin lips and silent eyes, and secretly sighed what a stunning scenery he would be if he was that carefree prince, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling: "Lord, the princess still has her life because she is the daughter of an important minister, but the princess is desperately asking for the princess's life." At this moment, he has been dethroned and imprisoned in the dark room. If the prince is destined to see the princess again, please be kind to her - she is a woman who is willing to give everything for the sake of the prince. ”
"Ruoyun, but I ......" Rong Yixuan's eyes suddenly looked at her with an extremely sad look. But he took a step forward, but she took two steps back.
"Lord Wang, Ruoyun has not broken her word, Ruoyun will never be an enemy of the prince and force the prince into a dead end. But. Ruoyun will not be an enemy of the emperor, ignoring innocent lives and the palace with a different surname. She looked up. There was a thick exhaustion and coldness in his eyes.
She looked at the sky getting brighter and brighter, and understood that it was already time for Shuyan to speak, and said to him with a pain in her heart: "Lord, please don't waste Shuyan's kindness, he must ...... So, please Lord Wang" After speaking, she couldn't bear to say any more, and stood with her head down.
The refreshing young man, the young man who accompanied Rong Yixuan. The young man who rescued her from Chu Mansion, the young man who saddled up and rode behind the horse and did whatever it took for his master. From now on, she is afraid that she will never hear him call her "Miss Su" again. It was his will, and she had no choice but to go along with him.
Die generously, or steal your life and seek a turnaround. Shuyan chose the former, and Rong Yixuan had to choose the latter. His gaze passed through the prison, as if he was about to look at the place where Shuyan was, and his eyes changed from anxiety to sorrow, from resentment to calm.
At the end, he clenched the golden order and said calmly: "This king, I know the way." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a shouting and shouting outside the door, Ruoyun hurried to the thousand-pound iron door, and the delicate iron door lock was destroyed, and the heavy door slowly opened.
Looking out, the rest of the troops had already scuffled with the guards, and Huai Wang's people seemed to pretend to be ventilated to report that most of them were evacuating, and Huai Xuanmo should have sent an urgent report to the palace to enter the palace at this moment, and Yu Linwei and most of the forbidden troops were all going to the palace because someone was storming the palace.
I only heard a few loud noises, it was a secret signal, without further ado, Ruoyun pushed him beside him, and he retreated to the wall.
"What are you going to do?!" Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Rong Yixuan couldn't help but feel anxious, and was afraid that she would retreat when she stretched out her hand, so he almost shouted, "Could it be that you don't leave?!" ”
Ruoyun shook her head and said calmly: "If I run away from this matter to avoid crime, how many innocent people will be destroyed?" The prince doesn't have to care about me, I am in the concubine position, and the emperor is very favored, and he will not want my life. ”
The words "grace" seemed to burn Rong Yixuan, his face was painful, and then he shook his head: "I can't leave you!" He said almost categorically, reaching out to take her wrist without hesitation, and ordered, "You go with me!" ”
She was so shocked by the strength of his big hand that she couldn't break free, and in a hurry, she grabbed the hairpin with her other hand and stabbed him at the back of his hand.
Rong Yixuan let go of her hand, she had already retreated a few steps away, her eyes were full of coldness: "Lord Wang, please leave alone." ”
"Lord Wang! Come on! Otherwise, it's too late! "Someone outside came to Rong Yixuan, and the few guards guarding the door had already been knocked down.
Rong Yixuan hesitated for a moment, the back of his hand cut and blood dripped down, and he stared at her defensively almost deadly, unable to move his steps.
"Lord Wang, you go quickly!" Ruoyun urged, standing firmly, Zhang Yu helped her and didn't know her purpose, if she left, the first person to suffer would be Zhang Yu and Xiaohong.
"Lord Wang......" The person who answered called hurriedly while fighting.
Rong Yixuan barely calmed down, no longer hesitated to turn around and leave, just took a few steps and looked back at her, as if that glance was going to engrave her appearance into his memory.
Once upon a time, she was tied to the head of the sandbank city and was in danger, but he came to save her single-handedly, fearlessly; Now that he is at the end of his rope and on the line of life and death, she is in danger alone, without regrets.
Ruoyun understood that at this point, she was afraid that she would never see him again, so she smiled slightly, showed peace and gentleness, and nodded at him.
A feather arrow almost stuck to his shirt and hit the iron door, Rong Yixuan dodged, and finally took the sword handed by his subordinates, and broke out of the prison under the protection of someone.
"Don't look back." The hand holding the hairpin slowly drooped, and she murmured, watching his figure disappear into the chaos, and she didn't know whether to say it to him or to herself.
Waiting for her to walk out slowly, the fight in the prison stopped, and most of the rest of Rong Yixuan's unintentional love war were evacuated, without the emperor's order, the guards who were vacated did not dare to stop her, not to mention that she walked slowly, calmly and leisurely, and had no intention of escaping with the rebellious party.
It is no longer necessary to take a shortcut and take the secret door and avoid the guards, Ruoyun walked slowly, glad that she only used Yulin Wei to communicate some news, and most of the movements were asked by Huai Xuanmo, as long as she went back to take on this charge, she would be able to protect the rest of the people.
Robbing the prison and storming the palace, such an earth-shattering fact is a bluff, a few firearms should have only blown up a few restaurants and warehouses, she guessed from Zhao Tian's movements, and wrote it in the letter in the cloth bag handed to Zhang Yu. It's just that no matter how she is, she can't protect the people who are caught
Ruoyun was wearing thin clothes, walking and stopping, her heart seemed to be hollowed out, there was no sadness or joy, as if the road back to the palace was not a road to hell, but a necessary way for her to be relieved.
As soon as she approached the palace wall, she saw a group of men and horses galloping towards her, and when they saw her, they rushed up and took her down.
She didn't resist, and let them escort her all the way to Chaolu Palace, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Rong Jinhuan sitting in the middle of the hall, his expression gloomy, his eyes sharp, and the terrifying majesty almost swallowed her.
Changde shrank at the door and didn't dare to come out, he couldn't figure it out, why would such a smart virtuous concubine do such a foolish thing? This time, he didn't even dare to give her a look, only lowered his head and glanced at her with his spare eyes.
"Although the minister is guilty of negligence, the incident happened suddenly, and the emperor asked the minister to investigate thoroughly." The person who spoke was Huai Xuanmo, although she was escorted in, there was no panic on his calm face, and he continued to talk to Rong Jinhuan with a posture that he didn't care about himself.
When Rong Jinhuan saw Ruoyun, the color in his eyes became a little more ruthless, and he waved his hand and let Huai Xuanmo go.
Ruoyun Waner smiled, rubbed shoulders with him, and secretly sighed that Huai Xuanmo shirked this matter as he did at the beginning, and he did it as he did not ask at the beginning and answered any questions.
She glanced at it and found that except for the emperor in the hall, there were guards and strangers in the palace, and half of the people in Chaolu Palace could not see it, so she knew that the people in Chaolu Palace were all taken away for interrogation, and just that Rong Jinhuan was here, she understood that he already knew everything.
Ruoyun knelt down in front of Rong Jinhuan, and knelt for the first time without arguing.
"You're here to confess your mistake to me? Or do you want to argue that this is all done by the rebellious ministers and thieves in Shuyan, and the news has nothing to do with you? When will I allow you to visit Hakodate? When are you allowed to go out of the palace to play? The carriage you asked Yu Linwei to prepare was lost by itself?! Looking at her obedient and indifferent appearance, Rong Jinhuan asked sharply, slapped his sleeves, and broke the cup.
Early in the morning, there was a chaotic party in Beijing, Shuyan was robbed and imprisoned first, and then the remnants of the party, which had not been thoroughly investigated, stormed the Suzaku Gate. The explosion in Beijing was raging, and the people were afraid that the Qingping Sect would attack again, and the streets were chaotic for a while, and it was difficult for the garrison to enter the city. Yulin Weicai and the forbidden army resisted the rebellious party that attacked the palace, but found that the thunder and rain were small, and the rescued Shuyan did not fight to the death, but fought and retreated, and brought reinforcements to the south.
The urgent report of the prison was long overdue, and the death row prisoner Rong Yixuan didn't know when he opened the unshakable fine iron door, sat in the carriage used by the palace concubine, and took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the north gate checkpoint that had not yet had time to close.
Most of the garrisons in Beijing and the divisions of the two states near Beijing happened to be transferred to Hongzhou to face the king of Jin, and Rong Yixuan's trip was unhindered, and he could never be recovered as soon as he entered Yao Huashan.
And what made Rong Jinhuan sad and embarrassed in every way was that his "favored" Concubine Su Xian left the forbidden palace without permission, and then disappeared in Hakodate and appeared in the prison, pretending to pass on the holy decree to visit Rong Yixuan, and then King Rong easily escaped from the ironclad cell!
