Chapter 333: Finale (17)
Ouyang Zhen looked at her slightly old face, and couldn't help choking up: "Auntie, following this palace has made you suffer a lot. "From the day Huadi City was broken, Aunt Wan Hui has been by her side, taking care of her, encouraging her, and trying her best to cheer her up whenever she is discouraged.
This affection has long surpassed that of the master and the servant, but is more like a mother and daughter.
Wan Hui was also moved. Ouyang Zhen looked at the sky, wiped away his tears, and said to Wan Hui: "Call Xiangye Xiangling, and take the little prince and the little emperor out with the palace." ”
She cheered up, and urged the palace people to carefully pick up the prince and emperor, and quietly walked out of the "Yunxiang Palace", Wan Hui only had time to pack a few small clothes, so she hurriedly followed.
The night was still deep, and there was not a single sound heard around, only the palace people followed him silently. Ouyang Zhen clenched his sleeves and looked around nervously, but fortunately, there was no one. The queen must have guarded the palace gates on all sides, but there was no obstacle in these palaces.
Ouyang Zhen led the palace people all the way to the "Yanxi Palace".
When she arrived at the "Yanxi Palace", Xu was woken up in her sleep, and she didn't sleep deeply, and the sideburns on her head were not messy. When she saw Ouyang Zhen hurrying over with the two children in her arms, her heart sank, and she hurriedly said, "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”
Ouyang Zhen ordered the palace people to hug the prince and the emperor to rest, and then whispered in Xu's ear: "The queen wants to force the palace!" Now that the emperor is besieged on the side of the 'Ganlu Palace', the concubines have to find a way to contact the people outside, but they have to put the prince and the emperor on Sister Xu's side in advance. The concubines thought about it, and only Sister Xu had the courage in the whole palace. ”
As she spoke, she knelt down, her face full of exhaustion and prayer. Xu's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly helped her up: "Sister Ouyang's child is the child of this palace, you can rest assured that you can put it here in this palace." But how do you get in touch? If the queen dares to force the palace, she must have closed the palace doors on all sides. ”
Ouyang Zhen nodded, gritted his silver teeth and said: "Yes, now that the 'Ganlu Palace' has been poured with fire oil, the queen has forced the emperor to issue an edict to appoint the eldest prince as the new emperor within two hours, and he will automatically abdicate due to illness and become the emperor in name only." The emperor is dealing with him over there. Now it's almost too late. The concubine has to give it a try anyway. ”
With that, she turned to leave.
Seeing that her face was pale and her steps were messy, Xu knew that she must be extremely tired, so he hurriedly grabbed her and said, "You sit here, why do you want to call someone to come to the palace." ”
Ouyang Zhen glanced at her gratefully, and hurriedly said: "The concubine is going to find Zhang Fang, her brother is Jing Zhaoyi, and he has half of the command of the Shangjing Guards, as long as he can control the entire Chu Jing, the queen will also be afraid of three points." ”
Xu nodded, and instructed the people in the palace: "Go, call Zhang Xiaoconcubine Niangniang over, so that she doesn't have to freshen up, and say that the palace and Rou Jieyu have a big matter to call her over." By the way, the palace people who led two teams to carry their shoulders went over and took turns to carry them. Be quick! ”
After she finished speaking, she carefully ordered the chamberlains in the palace to come over and guard the palace gate and side gate of the "Yanxi Palace".
Xu said to her: "These are all sent into the palace by the father of the palace to protect the palace, according to the palace, Sister Ouyang should not go back, the palace is safer here." ”
Ouyang Zhen was relieved. After a short while, Zhang Fang was carried over, she was frightened, and when she saw that Ouyang Zhen and Xu were both in the hall, she exclaimed: "Niangniang, what happened?" ”
Ouyang Zhen didn't have time to talk to her in detail, so he hurriedly asked, "Is there a way for you to contact your brother Zhang Qiu now?" Zhang Fang lowered her head and thought carefully, and said after a while: "Last time, Mrs. Liu Guo wanted to come over and beat the concubine to death, but fortunately, Rou Niangniang arrived, and the concubine was fine." When the elder brother found out, he was uneasy, and he was afraid that the concubine would suddenly suffer some disaster, so he taught the concubine a secret method to quickly hand him the news. ”
Ouyang Zhen's eyes lit up, and Xu Shi asked repeatedly: "What is going on?" ”
Zhang Fang hesitated for a long time before whispering: "This method is more troublesome, go out from the side door of the concubine's 'Jinhua Palace', bypass a rockery, the flowing water under the rockery is an undercurrent, and it can lead to the outside of the palace." As long as a sealed letter box is placed through a small hole over there, it can float down the water to a people's pool outside the palace. My brother has sent a confidant to live there, and as long as there is news, he will definitely know. ”
When Ouyang Zhen heard this, he faced Xu in surprise. This method is too mysterious, if the water flow is unstable, wouldn't it be a failure?
Seeing that the two didn't believe it, Zhang Fang was a little anxious: "The concubine and brother really tried, and there will be no mistakes." That place was discovered by my brother by accident when he was surveying the terrain outside the palace. It's just that it's night, and I'm afraid that only my brother will know tomorrow morning at the latest. ”
Ouyang Zhen thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's believe it once." And you will send the letter with me. ”
She touched the holy decree in her arms that brought the temperature on her body, and there was a dragon-shaped jade ring, if it really didn't work, she would release the holy decree first. Then he sent someone with the jade ring to find a way out of the palace to find Jing Zhaoyi and Zhang Qiu.
Zhang Fang saw that the two of them looked solemn, and she was also terrified in her heart, so she had to take Ouyang Zhen over......
……
Zhao Qingling got Chu Huotian's signal, and when Ouyang Zhen left the palace, he quietly went out of the "Ganlu Palace" by looking for the secret passage in the palace. Each emperor has a secret way in his own palace, and in the event of a mutiny, or assassination, this is the best way to escape.
Therefore, Chu Huo Tiancai is not afraid of the queen's threat, but it is a pity that this secret path cannot be used as a last resort. Chu Huotian wanted the queen's thousands of people to accompany him to guard the 'Ganlu Palace', and according to his patience, he sat in the "Ganlu Palace" and watched the leaks drip bit by bit.
He believed that his most trusted advisor would bring in the rescue for him, and that the woman he loved the most would deliver the news for him.
And he, sitting quietly in this dangerous place, restrained the queen's thousands of soldiers.
The fire outside the hall was blazing, and almost the entire "Manna Hall" was illuminated at a glance.
Chu Huotian didn't move, and Li Jingcai bowed down and stood beside him. Chu Huotian's somewhat sunken eyes swept towards him, and suddenly chuckled: "You kid, now there are only two of us left left, when everything is settled, what do you want to do most?" ”
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, if the slaves and maids can go out safely, the first thing is to eat enough and sleep again." These days, the slaves and maids can't sleep, and they can't eat. ”
A trace of emotion flashed on Chu Huotian's handsome face, and he suddenly laughed: "Okay!" When you go out, I will let you rest for a few days, and you can choose from delicious food and wine. He smiled heartily, as if he was not at all worried that the outsiders would attack or set fire to the temple.
Li Jingcai also smiled. Yes, it will be safe. The emperor is not afraid, and he is even more afraid.
The fire outside the temple grew brighter and brighter......
