First, I entered the door with a hard head.

The inside of the door is naturally much cleaner than the outside, and there are a few dead people, and it is no longer as miserable as outside.

Lu Li walked briskly along the familiar corridor.

The parrots under the corridor are still there, only the palace maids and eunuchs are missing.

Lu Li pushed the door in, and sure enough, he didn't see a single figure.

The tanuki jumped off the table with a bang.

Lu Li slapped it over.

The tanuki meowed and returned to the table aggrieved.

Lu Li quickly turned the screen, and a bloody breath came to his face.

Naturally, there is no one behind the screen.

When I saw it, I saw two buckets under the bed, and the color in the buckets was a little strange. Lu Li thought for a moment before he suddenly understood that a blood-stained cloth towel on the edge of the barrel gave him the answer.

More than half of the brocade quilt on the bed fell to the ground, and Lu Li subconsciously reached out and lifted it, and saw a large patch of blood on the mattress, which was shocking.

Lu Li stood in a daze for a long time, and his chest hurt violently.

"Your Majesty ......" The timid voice of Xiao Luzi sounded at the door.

Lu Li raised his head and walked out slowly.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't have time to clean up outside the palace, and the adults are waiting in the imperial study." ”

Lu Li walked to the bottom of the corridor, stood holding on to the pillar for a while, and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately give Gu Lingxiao the pattern of the tunnel, and ask him to take the remaining golden armor guards into the tunnel to find the whereabouts of Ah Kite and Jun'er." In addition, inform Cheng Yu and ask him to take his cronies to the exit of the tunnel to find it. ”

"Your Majesty, Cheng Shizi did not come to the court today." The path bowed his head.

Lu Li frowned: "Didn't come?" ”

Xiao Luzi hurriedly said: "Ding Guogong said that he took his cronies to the city gate to help last night, and there has been no news back until this time, and the people from Guogong Mansion are looking for him." ”

Lu Li's heart was tight again.

Seeing this, Xiao Luzi had to comfort him: "Cheng Shizi has always been careful, and he must have found something to delay." The minion immediately sent a message to Commander Gu and General Xue, and he must get Niangniang back as soon as possible! ”

Lu Li knew that he had to do this, so he nodded in agreement.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly ran out, but Lu Li stood at the door, reluctant to leave.

The civil and military officials in the imperial study are still waiting for him, and that is the "right thing" he should do at the moment.

However, he has already failed Ah Kite too many times for the sake of "business".

What happened to Fanghua Palace last night, he still didn't know until this moment.

A kite has always been very squeamish, and it must have hurt so much blood after shedding so much, right?

When she needed him the most, he wasn't around.

Because of his negligence, she had to endure unprecedented fright when she was in such danger, could she stand it?

fù people give birth, nine deaths and one life.

Will she be able to come back safe and sound?

She, can she blame him?

Chapter 135: What Do I Want Her Life To Do?

Last night's battle was fierce, and there are naturally many things that need to be dealt with today.

Lu Li and the civil and military officials discussed in the imperial study until the afternoon, and finally sorted out some things that should be handled.

The rebels have not taken advantage of it, but they are still besieging the city, and it is clear that there is still hope.

There is no doubt that their "hope" is pinned on the iron cavalry of Beiyan.

There's still no news from Falling Cloud City, somehow.

Calculating the time, the time for the people of Beiyan and Xiliang to arrive in the capital should not be much different. Lu Li and the generals all muttered a little, and they were extremely vigilant about this matter.

Beiyan's wolf ambition is already known to passers-by, but who knows about Xiliang?

The tunnels in the palace have been leaked, and it is obvious that they can no longer be used in the future.

Lu Li immediately ordered to go down, and ordered the golden guards to block the entrance to the tunnel immediately after the search was completed, so as to prevent repeating the mistakes of the past.

All that's left is to regroup and prepare for the next battle, and by the way, check the ghosts inside to find the missing person.

After discussing it easily, Lu Li took away the civil and military officials and called Xiao Yingzi: "What do you think about the eunuchs in the palace taking advantage of the chaos to rebel?" ”

"Doesn't the emperor already have a number in his heart?" Xiao Yingzi lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, and her tone was light.

Lu Li was silent.

It's really weird. However, there are only a handful of people in the palace who are capable of this matter, and they are all people he trusts very much, which is a bit disturbing.

Xiao Yingzi lowered his head and said: "The eunuch rebellion, as long as you want to investigate, there are always some clues to follow; It's an authentic thing, and it's really hard to understand. ”

The map has always been collected by Lu Li personally, and apart from himself and Duan Ran, only Xiao Yingzi has hastily read it. Although those golden-armored guards knew the entrances to each palace, they didn't know the secret passages that ran through them, and of course, it was impossible to lead the rebels to accurately find the two exits of Yuxiu Palace and Yanxi Palace in just one or two hours!

So, what's the problem?

Although a special person has been arranged to investigate this matter, Lu Li still can't help but bother himself.

At this time, the Golden Armor Guard came to report that some thieves had been found in the tunnel.

Lu Li hurriedly called someone to escort him over.

I saw that there were two or three hundred thieves, all of them pale and dejected.

Lu Li couldn't help but stand up: "You also sneaked into the palace to sneak attack?" The war is over, why are you staying in the tunnels? ”

The captured soldier seemed to have been tortured, and it didn't take much trouble to tell the truth: "We are on the orders of the general, and we are waiting for the rabbit at the exit of the tunnel on the other side of the garden of the Chen family......"

Lu Li's face sank, and the soldier hurriedly changed his words: "...... Waiting at the exit to capture our fourth lady and King Ding'an. Later, the fourth lady said that it was a bottle of life-saving yào that fell in the tunnel, and the general sent us to follow the doctor into the tunnel to find it, but I didn't expect that there were too many forks in the tunnel, and we got lost......"

Lu Qi's head tightened, and he couldn't help but interrupt his words: "Ah Kite is in your hands? How is she now? ”

As he was asking, another group of soldiers returned, saying that they had captured a doctor.

It was Yu Shen who came in.

As soon as he saw Lu Li, he immediately knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

When Lu Li saw him crying, he was immediately frightened: "Ah kite, she ......"

Imperial Physician Yu hurriedly wiped her tears and said what she knew concisely.

Actually, he didn't know much.

It's nothing more than a difficult birth, a flight, and being captured, in short, none of them are good.

After hearing this, Lu Li sat down on the chair: "You mean, until almost dawn, the child has not been born, and Ah Kite has fallen into the hands of the old thief instead?" ”

Imperial Physician Yu hurriedly raised his head and said, "That's all Wei Chen knows, but things may not have taken a turn for the better. Niangniang seems to be the general who used magic to control the thief soldiers, and then lied to find yào, and deceived most of the thieves into the tunnel, after which there were only more than 30 thieves left to guard Niangniang, Niangniang and Duan Gongzi are people who are good at change, and maybe they can think of a way to get out! ”

When the captured ironclad soldiers heard that the matter of "looking for yào" was completely false, they all turned blue with anger.

Lu Li's face didn't look good: "After a night of difficult childbirth, she still dares to use spells?" Isn't that ......?"

Imperial Physician Yu lowered his head and was speechless.

Indeed, the body that was already at the end of the crossbow, and then forcibly used the secret technique, the consequences were unimaginable!

"So, Niangniang is no longer in the tunnel at the moment!" Xiaoyingzi was the first to distill useful information.

Lu Li was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Immediately send additional people to search all over the city, and at the same time strictly guard the city gates, and never allow anyone to go out of the city!" ”

Xiao Yingzi immediately went out to give the order.

Lu Li looked at Imperial Physician Yu, and still had a stomach full of questions that he didn't dare to speak.

Imperial Physician Yu knew his worries, but he could only pretend not to know.

How he wished he could tell the good news. But no.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Li called Imperial Physician Yu to get up and beckoned to him: "I ask you, Ah Kite her...... Did you say anything? ”

Imperial Physician Yu hesitated and shook his head.

"Has she ever complained?" Lu Li continued to ask.

Imperial Physician Yu thought for a while, and said cautiously: "When I was in Fanghua Palace, Niangniang always looked forward to the emperor coming up. Later, in the tunnel, Niangniang was a little delirious, and said a few words that Ren Xìng's words should not be true. ”

"Yu Shen, do you have something to hide from me?" How could Lu Li not see that the other party's words were insincere.

Imperial Physician Yu didn't dare to say anything, and almost knelt down again.

Lu Li glanced up at him: "It's useless to kneel, tell everything you know." ”

Imperial Physician Yu didn't dare to hide it anymore, so she had to tell the truth: "Niangniang has been depressed in the past two months, and the dystocia is probably not accidental." ”

Lu Li immediately looked up at Xiao Luzi: "Don't you always say that everything is okay with her?" ”

Xiao Luzi hurriedly knelt down: "Every time the slave goes to Fanghua Palace, the mother is not unusual, and the slave thinks it is ......"

Lu Li settled down, knowing that he couldn't complain about this matter, so he had to beckon him to get up.

Xiao Luzi insisted on kneeling: "There is one thing, the slave didn't have time to tell the emperor that when Niangniang came here yesterday afternoon, he stood in front of the door for a while, and the few words he heard were probably not good...... Niang Niang walked fast when she went down the steps, and Danyue almost didn't catch up with ...... next to her."

Lu Li thought about it carefully and asked uncertainly, "Did I say anything excessive?" Jingmin is often open-mouthed in front of me, and Kite knows it. ”

Imperial Physician Yu's face changed slightly: "I'm afraid that Niangniang is really careful." Yesterday Niangniang said some strange things, and Weichen only thought that she was guilty of old diseases and talked nonsense, and she didn't think much about it at the time......"

"What did she say?" Lu Li hurriedly asked.

Imperial Physician Yu hesitated: "Niangniang repeatedly asked Weichen if he had a knife, saying that he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise if there was an accident, he would have been busy for the past few months." ”

Lu Li was confused.

Imperial Physician Yu had to add: "Miss Luoxia said that Niangniang was sick, but Miss Danyue said...... said that the emperor wanted a child, and he also wanted the life of his mother. ”

"What do I want her life to do!" Lu Li was in a hurry, and Huo Ran stood up.

Xiao Luzi suddenly thought of something, but he didn't dare to speak.

Lu Li turned his head and looked at him: "If you have something to say, just say it!" ”

Xiao Luzi had no choice but to bow his head and say: "Niangniang heard you say yesterday that you want the concubine Niangniang to take care of the child, and then her face suddenly changed." ”

"That's it? It's just a joke......" Lu Li felt incredulous.

"Is this really just a joke?" The door of the hidden hall was suddenly pushed open, but it was Duan Ran who walked in with Lu Junnuo in his arms.

The two were followed by Lu Junnuo's two grandmothers, a wounded little eunuch, and several guards covered in blood who could barely see their human appearance.

Lu Li hurriedly turned around and greeted him: "Are you back?" ”

He quickly shook Duan Ran's hand, and then immediately rushed to the door and looked out.

Duan Ran said lightly: "Don't look for it, she didn't come with us." ”

Lu Li's smile immediately froze: "You guys...... Separated? ”

"Not separated. We fled, but she couldn't. Duan Ran said in a deep voice.

Lu Li's face changed greatly, and he immediately reached out and grabbed Duan Ran's collar: "What do you mean by this?" I told you to protect her......"

Duan Ran raised his head and was confident: "If I don't escape with Jun'er, the final result will only be to take a few more lives and send a few more hostages to the old thief!" Jun'er is the bloodline of the first emperor, if it falls into the hands of the old thief, the old thief can justifiably support him as the emperor! When the time comes, there will be no shortage of emperors among the subjects of the world, who cares about your life or death! At this point, that woman is much more sober than you! ”

Lu Li slowly let go of his hand, and asked for a long time: "She...... Are you okay? ”

Duan Ran shook his head slowly: "Life hangs by a thread." But she is very sober, and she will not let herself and her children become the bargaining chips of the old thief to blackmail you. ”

"What do you mean......" Lu Li sat on the ground and muttered to himself.

Duan Ran knew that he didn't understand, he just didn't want to believe it.

Imperial Physician Yu and Xiao Luzi also knew. Therefore, no one responded to Lu Li's words, and he was left to sit in a daze.

Lu Junnuo was obviously frightened, and kept nestling in Duan Ran's arms, not speaking or crying.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Li finally raised his head: "When you finally separated, she ......"

Duan Ran said in a deep voice: "I'm still alive." ”

Lu Li clenched his sleeve tightly and didn't speak for a long time.

Duan Ran sat down on the chair next to him and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to be like this. She's not going to bother you, you know. ”

"You think I'm just afraid of trouble?" Lu Li raised his head suddenly, furious.

Duan Ran looked at him coldly: "Isn't it?" You gave up on her two months ago, so why do you want to be so heartbroken today? ”

"Nonsense! When did I give up on her?! Lu Li sat up straight suddenly, his face full of anger, as if he was going to rush out and fight with others in the next moment.

Duan Ran frowned and looked at him inquiringly: "You didn't give up on her?" So, the bàozhà in the Beiyan Post House is purely accidental? It was also an unintentional mistake for you to take away the chariot and horse honor guard and leave me and her in the post house? ”

Lu Li slowly straightened up: "Lost in the post house?" Didn't you come back with the guard of honor? As for bàozhà...... Wasn't that something we had already arranged? ”

Duan Ran stared at him for a long time, and finally asked in a dumb voice: "We have repeatedly confirmed when we arranged in advance, and there was someone to follow Kite and me at the banquet that day, and after knowing where we were arranged, they pulled out the lead in that place, right?" ”

Lu Li nodded blankly, and suddenly his eyes widened: "Could it be ......?"

Duan Ran looked at him deeply: "It's up." ”

"Impossible!" The little road next to him stood up with a loud scream.

When arranging the zhàyào that day, no one could predict where Su Qingkite and "Qin Jiao" would be taken, so the guards buried zhàyào in front of each palace building. In order to avoid accidental injury, they specially arranged two groups of people to follow Su Qingyuan and Duan Ran respectively, once the location of the two of them was confirmed, it was very important to destroy the zhàyào barrel there, and it was impossible to make a mistake!

Duan Ran moved his gaze to Xiao Luzi's body: "You didn't receive the news that the guards sent back that day?" ”

Xiao Luzi was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "How could it be that you didn't receive it?" It's the pavilion on the north side of the garden rockery, right? The guard pulled out the fuse from that side and came back to tell me that I dared to order the fire......"

Duan Ran stared at him for a long time, then turned his head to look at Lu Li, and asked in a bitter voice after a long time: "Did the guards deceive you, or did you deceive me?" ”

Lu Li raised his hand and grabbed his shoulder, his eyes gradually turned red: "You say...... Where are you located, zhà? ”

Duan Ran took two steps back, dodged his hand, and said gloomily for a long time: "If she hadn't worried about your safety, she would have taken the risk of running downstairs to find you...... She and I had already been crumbled in that pavilion. ”

"Such a big thing, why didn't you come and tell me earlier!" Lu Li's eyes were red, and he stood still against the stone screen, trembling all over.

Duan Ran looked at him across a table for a long time before he said, "I don't dare." ”

"Do you suspect that it's my ......" Lu Li was angry.

Duan Ran was silent.

After a long time, Lu Li asked in a bitter voice: "Does Ah Kite think the same way?" She was suspicious that I was going to kill her, and she became suspicious of me from then on
