Seeing that Li Yu's expression did not seem to be fake, Nian Yun felt that there was something strange about this matter, so he didn't say it explicitly, and said with a smile: "Nian Yun is fine, just thinking that the weather is starting to get cold again, and I don't know if the emperor is in better health, so I came to take a look." ”

Li Yu didn't doubt him, nodded and said, "It's hard for you to think about it, it's hard work." ”

Nianyun said: "In this way, Nianyun retired. ”

Li Yu sent her to the gate of the main hall, and she took the entourage waiting outside, and still went to Mingyi Gate along the same road.

When I got out of the door of the Xingqing Palace, I saw an old palace maid coming over, curtsied, and said, "Concubine Niangniang, Empress Taishang is invited." ”

Empress Taishang invited her to go, did she know something?

Nian Yun had some doubts in her heart, but she followed the old palace maid over.

After walking a short distance, Nian Yun felt that something was not right, and the old palace maid took her to the side hall next to the Datong Hall one by one, and she was about to walk to the Hanlin Courtyard.

It was the first time she had come to Xingqing Palace, but when she came, the old eunuch talked a lot, so she also paid a general attention to the surroundings, and it seemed that Queen Taishang should not live so remotely.

Then he asked, "Doesn't Empress Taishang live here?" ”

The old palace maid seemed to have some ears behind her ears, and she didn't squeak, but still took her and walked forward.

Nian Yun stopped his steps.

The old palace maid seemed to have eyes behind her back, and as soon as she stopped, she also stopped.

Nian Yun was alert and quickly took a few steps back, and several entourages such as Green Pothos and Qixi also immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly protected her.

The old palace maid slowly turned around and raised her head, her expression was strange, and her eyes were clearly a kind of gritted resentment.

I only heard the sound of "poof", and the old palace maid, who was still sluggish and old a moment ago, pulled out a soft sword from her waist with extremely neat movements, and as soon as she sent it forward with the strength of her hand, she slashed straight towards Nian Yun!

Qixi immediately took a step forward, although he was bare-handed at this time, he was tall and agile, and he kicked the old palace maid's wrist with a flying kick, and the sword momentum was out of sight, and it tilted to the side.

Qixi quickly took out a sharp pig iron dagger from his boots, and the rest of his entourage also flashed their daggers and came out to fight.

Nian Yun wasn't too surprised.

Since Xingqing Palace has contacted Qinzhou to try to kill the king, it is not too surprising to assassinate a noble concubine.

She had already expected that there might be danger when she came to Xingqing Palace, so the few entourages she brought this time, except for Lu Luo, the others were strong and agile eunuchs, even if the inner palace could not wear weapons, they also quietly hid daggers and came in.

Outside, there is still a team of Shence troops transferred by Qixi, guarding outside the Mingyi Gate. If there is a very urgent situation, Qixi releases a signal, and the Shence army will directly enter the palace gate to rescue the driver.

At this time, seven or eight sturdy palace maids jumped out of the Datong Palace, all holding long swords in their hands, blocking the way.

The leader shouted: "Guo Shi! Today is your time of death! ”

Qixi didn't say anything, he had already led someone to kill the general, and suddenly he heard the sound of a clangling collision.

Nian Yun was protected behind, intending to divide the other party's heart, his eyes shot sharply at the palace maid who was the leader, and coldly reprimanded: "You are waiting for you to live in Xingqing Palace, this palace has no grudge against you, why do you want to assassinate this palace?" ”

The palace maid was fighting with the concubine's entourage, and scolded: "You are cruel and vicious, bewitching and bewitching the lord, and you are delusional about the chicken Si Chen, causing chaos to the court, and today we will eliminate harm for the people!" ”

Nian Yun sneered: "Everything I do is for Your Majesty's worries, and you are the one who assassinates the master of the harem, and it is his crime that should be punished, and the nine clans should be punished!" Who instructed you to do such a rebellious thing? ”

Although the eunuchs used daggers, they did not have an advantage in attack range in the face of long swords, but the daggers were short and flexible, and they were much easier to use than long swords.

After dismantling a few moves, Qixi and the others found out that those palace maids were very ruthless, and every time they shot were killing moves, almost a deadly way of playing, forcing them to gradually become a little nervous.

The long sword in the hand of a palace maid stabbed straight into his chest, he dodged sideways, and the dagger in his hand stabbed towards the opponent's ribs, but the other party did not dodge or dodge, and directly turned the sword over his wrist and stabbed him in the waist again.

Qixi's strength is big and steady, and if she is stabbed, she will take half her life. But her sword is not played, this is clearly a way to fight with the same end.

Seven Hi had to withdraw his hand and kick her to the bottom of the plate, forcing her to take a step back.

The other party is a lifeless assassination method, but Qixi and they want to protect themselves and their master from injury, which is much more restrained in comparison.

The two palace maids surrounded Qixi, and he couldn't spare his hand for a while to release a signal to the Shence army outside the Mingyi Gate.

A palace maid's long sword slashed in front of the pothos, only two or three inches away from her face. She could clearly see the cold light on the sword, a faint green light.

She couldn't help but gasp: "Be careful, the sword is poisonous!" ”

Nian Yun was also a little secretly frightened. Although she brought guards and weapons, she didn't expect Xingqing Palace to be so vicious, so naturally she didn't bring the imperial doctor.

Several guards were all entangled by the palace maid, and at this time, a palace maid had a free hand, although she couldn't get close, she threw her sword directly towards Nian Yun's face door in the air!

The palace maid used seventy or eighty percent of her strength, and the speed at which the long sword flew was also amazing, Nian Yun quickly squatted down at this time, but it was also a little dangerous to completely avoid the long sword.

Just as he was about to start, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky, and a figure rushed over with lightning speed, the speed was so fast that it was unbelievable, and he kicked away the long sword thrown at him, blocking in front of Nian Yun.

At this time, the attention of several palace maids was diverted, and they all besieged together, and the man's movements were decisive and neat, relying on a single dust, but it was three times and five divided by two to break the crisis, and beat the palace maids to the ground and couldn't move, only the air in the mouth but not the breath out.

Nian Yun fixed her eyes and saw that it was the long-winded old eunuch who had brought her in before!

This Xingqing Palace is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

The old eunuch knelt down on one knee at her, clasped his hands into fists and performed a standard military general's salute: "The old slave is late to save the car, and I hope that the mother will forgive the sin!" ”

Qixi was almost stunned, and it took a while to react, and he hurriedly took the other entourages to keep the uniform that was still alive in the palace maid, and prepared to keep it and take it back for interrogation.

Only then did Nian Yun notice that the old eunuch was still old, and his movements were slightly stiff at this time, the crown of hair on his head was shaved off, and his white hair was also scattered in embarrassment.

She hurriedly replied to the old eunuch with a half-salute: "Father-in-law is exempt from courtesy, and he is tired." ”

Then he personally went to help him get up, and said: "My father-in-law's skills are not trivial, how can he be buried in this Xingqing Palace all his life?" ”

The old eunuch said loudly with some pride: "The old slave had seen General Pei and Li Hanlin dance the sword with his own eyes in the past, and he secretly learned a few tricks, but it is a pity that it has been useless for many years...... Old slave ......"

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled like chaff, and he could no longer hide it, but in the blink of an eye, he fell to the ground.

Nianyun's face changed greatly, and Qixi hurriedly ran to help him up, but saw a long knife on his back, the wound had turned black, and the blood that flowed out was black.

Pothos exclaimed: "He's poisoned!" ”

The old eunuch seemed to have finally fulfilled the longing of his life, his face was still smiling, his lips moved, and he could not say anything more, he spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his head tilted and he lost his breath.

Qixi put his hand over to sniff and shook his head at Nian Yun.

Nian Yun's eyes shone coldly, and he pointed to the palace maids on the ground: "This palace has a number in my heart, so I don't need to leave a living mouth!" ”

After saying that, he ordered the body of the old eunuch to be brought back for burial, and then turned around and walked outside.

There are only a few masters of Xingqing Palace, and there are only a handful of people who can send out white linen, since they can't honestly be the princess of Xingqing Palace, then go and accompany the first emperor!

Before he reached the dragon pool, he was stopped by a group of people in front of him.

Nian Yun couldn't help but be angry, and asked, "Who is it, do you still want to continue to assassinate this palace!" ”

The man in front of him didn't care about etiquette, so he hurriedly ran a few steps forward, knelt down with a "poof", and burst into tears: "Concubine! It's all because I was confused for a while, delusional about the position of power, so I forged Bai Ma's internal life and made a big mistake! I also ordered someone to assassinate the concubine, I deserve death, I am willing to apologize for my sins with death, and please don't anger the other sisters! ”

Nian Yun looked at it, and it was the Cui family who had been named Emperor Zhaoyi.

This Cui Zhaoyi has become Niu Zhaorong's right-hand man since she acted in a good sister's sympathy for each other when Niu's abortion was born, and has been helping her to protect her for many years, and now she is even willing to die for her!

However, with this Cui family's degree of favor and ability, Nian Yun doesn't think she has this ability. In this Xingqing Palace, there is only one person who has the motive, ambition and skill to try to kill Li Chun and her.

Nian Yun was vicious for a while, and sneered: "Cui Zhaoyi is sincere to her sisters, but it's a pity that your good sister who desperately wants to protect her behind her has never just used you!" ”

She took two steps forward, stood still a foot away from Cui Zhaoyi, and said slowly, word by word: "Niu Zhaorong was poisoned as soon as she entered the East Palace, and it is impossible for the child to conceive at all, she failed to find an opportunity to blame others, so she designed to buy you with this!" ”

Cui Zhaoxun's face suddenly turned pale into a piece of paper, and he didn't say anything for a long time with his eyes open.

Originally, Nianyun came today, just to talk to the Emperor. Now it seems that the mess in Xingqing Palace will not be cleaned up.

Nianyun stopped looking at her and said to Qixi: "Bring in the Shence army waiting outside and guard it at the gate of Xingqing Palace." ”

He also instructed another eunuch: "Call Niu Zhaorong to Xingqing Palace, and say that it is the emperor's edict, if she doesn't come, tie her with a rope!" ”
