The bell of the second watch in the palace struck twice, and the spring banquet had already ended for half an hour, and after the invited guests left the palace one after another, the palace returned to silence and peace after the noise disappeared.

In the moonlit imperial garden, Ah Zhao held a sword in one hand and a lantern in the other. The woman in red followed.

The begonia flowers are still blooming delicately, Wei Ning stopped when she saw it, she stretched out her hand to caress the petals, and there was occasionally a slight sound of wind in the silent night.

"Ah Zhao, do you remember my mother?"

"Yes."

Wei Ning laughed. "Look at my memory, you came to me when I was eight years old, when the queen mother had already died."

"Since my subordinates entered the secret guard camp, they have also had the honor to meet Empress Ruan a few times."

Wei Ning wasn't surprised, but just asked him, "What kind of person do you think my queen mother is?" ”

Ah Zhao thought about it carefully and replied: "The queen mother is a very gentle person, she is the same to everyone, always with a smile. Compared with other concubines, she is the kindest person in the palace. ”

Wei Ning didn't speak for a long time, and just when Ah Zhao thought she wouldn't answer, she suddenly said, "I'm about to forget the appearance of the queen mother, those things have been too long..."

Ah Zhao did not speak.

Wei Ning didn't care, and continued to walk forward. Ah Zhao glanced at her, and followed her with a lantern.

There was a faint commotion, Wei Ning stopped to look at the source of the sound, and many lanterns suddenly lit up there, and she asked, "Ah Zhao, what's going on over there?" ”

Ah Zhao let out a strange birdsong, but it didn't look like a birdsong, but like the sound of some wild beast.

A dark guard dressed in the clothes of a palace secret guard, with only a pair of eyes showing all over his body, appeared in front of them in an instant.

Wei Ning glanced in that direction again, and a trace of uneasiness welled up in his heart. "What's going on?"

The dark guard half-knelt on the ground, bowed his head and replied in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, there is an assassin in Fengyang Palace." ”

Wei Ning's eyelids jumped, she didn't have time to think about anything, she turned around and went in the direction of Fengyang Palace, and as she was walking, she suddenly remembered the secret guards who guarded the palace a few days ago, but she couldn't help but worry about it, why didn't she arrange more people at that time?

Ah Zhao saw that she was getting more and more anxious, and flew forward to block Wei Ning. "Your Majesty's dragon body must not be damaged in the slightest..."

Wei Ning took a deep breath, thought for a while, and then ordered: "Ah Zhao, you go to Fengyang Palace immediately now, and you must ensure that the princess is well-treated." ”

Ah Zhao selfishly didn't want to leave Wei Ning, but he had been by Wei Ning's side for so many years, and he had long understood the weight of Wei Ning in her heart, and I was afraid that whatever he said would not work. He winked at the guard behind him, then whispered, "Yes." ”

Wei Ning stayed where he was and watched him until the black figure completely disappeared into the night.

Mo Yi cautiously observed the surrounding environment, and then made the same voice as Ah Zhao to summon the nearby secret guards.

Wei Ning walked up to him and said in a condensed voice, "Mo Yi, take me to Fengyang Palace." ”

Mo Yi knelt down, bowed his head and said calmly: "Your Majesty, your subordinates only obey the orders of Commander Zhao. ”

Wei Ning heard his expected reply, didn't say anything, turned around and left, and was walking briskly when he suddenly lifted his skirt and ran.

When Mo Yi heard her footsteps, he immediately raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a distant back, and he hurriedly used light skills to catch up with her.

Seeing him in front of her, Wei Ning took a slight breath, she looked up into his eyes, and said calmly: "Mo Yi, that is my own sister who is connected to my flesh and blood, I can't stay in your protection and wait for news, I have to go to see her in person." ”

Mo Yi saw the stubbornness in her eyes, in fact, he always knew how tough the heart of the person in front of him was. So he finally compromised.

Mo Yi said: "Offended, Your Majesty." ”

Immediately, he picked up Wei Ning and jumped up, running quickly on the beams of the palace.

The whirring wind echoed in his ears, Wei Ning's hair was blown up, and a few strands of hair stuck to his face. She stretched out her hand and whispered, "Thank you." ”

The voice immediately disappeared into the wind.

Mo Yi didn't speak, but Wei Ning knew that he must have heard.

Mo Yi jumped on the roof of a palace again, and he heard another voice from the wind. Then he took Wei Ning and landed firmly on the ground, he blocked in front of Wei Ning, and drew the sword on his waist.

It was an abandoned palace, the floor was overgrown with weeds, and the vermilion paint on the walls had peeled off. There was a rusty lock on the door of the main hall, and there were cobwebs everywhere, apparently no one had come for many years.

More than a dozen people suddenly appeared on all sides, and the sword reflected a cold light in the moonlight.

They slowly approached step by step, and Mo Yi protected Wei Ning behind him and tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.

Wei Ning pushed him away, stood in the middle and asked, "Can you tell me what your intention is to come uninvited this time?" ”

But no one answered, but only saw one of them raise his knife, wave his hand and make a gesture. Loud and loud: "Up." ”
