Xiao Yi and Xie Li stood outside the gate of Shengjing City, looking at the flying clouds on the wall through the cone curtain.

"The Emperor and the Empress?" Xiao Yi asked in a low voice.

When they received the news last night, everyone was taken aback.

Yaoguang has been locked up by the emperor for so long, did he kill them at this last moment?

But what was the purpose of killing them?

He was uneasy, and he couldn't help but think that it was the truth of the matter.

"Looking at it like this, I'm afraid the emperor and queen have really passed away." Xie Li looked through the shallow tulle.

The soldiers at the gates of the city did not seem to be particularly strict in checking passers-by.

Xie Li's eyes flashed slightly, and he saw Mr. Qian San staggering out of the city gate.

"Mr. Qian San has appeared." Xie Li lowered the cone curtain and pulled Xiao Yi's clothes, "Go to the woods first." ”

Xiao Yi nodded, picked up a large bag of fruits and vegetables at his feet, and the two quietly entered the woods like an ordinary couple.

In the woods, Mr. Qian San made eighteen turns before reaching Xie Li and Xiao Yi.

"Mr. Qian San, how is it in the city? Is the emperor really gone? ”

Xie Li asked in a hurry.

Mr. Qian San wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded slightly, "It was last night that the prince passed away, yesterday the prince entered the palace, and the emperor and queen died after a while, and now the prince is still in the palace." ”

"How's it going?" Xiao Yi thought of the prince's old-fashioned and gentle temperament, and his heart was even more uneasy.

"The palace has not heard of anything else happening, and Yaoguang has given this matter to the crown prince." Mr. Qian San pursed his lips, "I think that if it was really Yaoguang's hand, he shouldn't have attacked the prince so quickly." ”

Xie Li nodded and added, "In the past, Yaoguang was able to run rampant in Shengjing City, all because the emperor was alive, but now that the emperor and the queen have died together, then the center of power in Shengjing City is the prince, and it is impossible for those old ministers to watch the prince suffer the enemy alone." ”

"Makes sense, it's me who wants to fork in." Hearing Xie Li's words, Xiao Yi nodded.

"But...... The emperor and queen passed away at this time, ......" Xie Li glanced up at Xiao Yi shallowly, "It's not that I'm too careful, this situation is extremely beneficial to us, and it is also for the crown prince." ”

Xiao Yi didn't think of this stubble, but out of respect for the prince's character, Xiao Yi shook his head firmly, "No, the prince is a person who abides by etiquette, if he doesn't care about the life of the emperor, how can he let Yaoguang bounce in this Shengjing City for so long." ”

"Yes." Xie Li shrugged, "That ......"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, "Could it be that the emperor broke it off on his own?" ”

Xiao Yi was taken aback, and was stunned at Xie Li's equally surprised expression, "Maybe...... Who? ”

At this moment, Mr. Qian San's green pine and green cypress, who were guarding outside the forest, suddenly shouted loudly and swept towards a place.

As soon as the cold light flashed, Xiao Yi and Xie Li pulled their legs and wanted to run.

"It's me." A crisp clash of swords rang out, and a familiar voice rang out.

"Yi Shizi, Miss Xie, it's me, Shen Qiong."

Xiao Yi and Xie Li maintained a posture of lifting one foot and landing on the ground with one foot, and turned around and glanced at it very quickly.

Sure enough, it was Shen Qiong in military uniform.

"Arjun?" Xie Li was surprised, turned around and stood still, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and there was a little surprise.

Xiao Yi also breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for Qingsong and Qingbai to put down their swords.

"Sure enough, it's you." Shen Qiong took the sword and said in surprise. Nine cakes in Chinese

"Why are you here?" Xiao Yi stepped forward and looked Shen Qiong's dress up and down.

"Guarding the gates?" Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow.

The second son of Shen, who is Qingjun of the Shen family, has been reduced to the point of guarding the city gate, which is really ......

Shen Qiong keenly caught the surprise in Xiao Yi's eyes, and sighed helplessly, "It was Yaoguang who asked me to guard the city gate, and the purpose was to catch you." ”

"Then you still run out, is there anyone following you?" Xie Li interjected, and looked behind him with his feet on his feet.

"Princess, no one." The green pine and green cypress swept away the troubles early in the morning.

"Oh." Xie Li nodded.

"It's a long story, but Shizi, Miss Xie, you still need to go in, right?" Shen Qiong looked at Xiao Yi, "Yaoguang has already received the news that you are outside Shengjing City, I heard that King Chen's father and son are also about to arrive in Shengjing City in the next few days?" ”

"Well, I have to enter sooner or later, but because I don't know the situation in Shengjing City, I have been investigating for a while." Xiao Yi and Shen Qiong are also friends in Shengjing City, and they also have the relationship between Xie Li and Shen Meng, so he didn't try too much.

"There is a lot of chaos in Shengjing City, Yaoguang didn't expect the emperor to die suddenly, so her plan can be regarded as a failure."

"Be specific." Xiao Yi's face was gloomy.

"Lan Yuwei and Gyeonggi Wei are now in my hands, because it was Yaoguang who controlled the life of the emperor before, so we didn't dare to act rashly. And now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ready to attack. Shen Qiong took out a letter from his arms, "This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entrusted me to give to the prince." ”

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, "So you waited for me on purpose?" ”

"Yes, let's read the letter first." Shen Qiong nodded and smiled shallowly.

Taking advantage of Xiao Yi's efforts to read the letter, Xie Li asked, "What about your sister, how is the situation?" ”

"My sister is still in the palace, I will pick her up tonight."

"Did you get hurt or frightened?"

"No, isn't it clear about my sister's temperament, Miss Xie?" Speaking of Shen Meng, a trace of pride quickly flashed across Shen Qiong's face.

"That'll be fine." When Shen Qiong said this, Xie Li was relieved.

"The prince is going to force the palace tonight?" Speaking of this, Xiao Yi also finished reading the letter, "But those three thousand palace guards don't recognize people, how can he command those palace guards?" ”

Shen Qiong obviously didn't expect this, and was slightly stunned, "Didn't the palace guards listen to the emperor's will?" ”

"Yes, but the emperor is gone." Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "In order to prevent such a thing as forcing the palace, the palace guards have always only obeyed the command of the work order. Yaoguang has been in the palace for so long, hasn't he mastered the work order? ”

Xiao Yi glanced at Shen Qiong, whose face suddenly changed, "You didn't ask the prince?" ”

Shen Qiong shook her head, "I don't know the relationship between this. ”

Xiao Yi sighed, "Also, it's all royal secrets. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered how King Huan had controlled the palace guards, and his heart suddenly tingled.

Without waiting for the stinging pain to spread, he made up his mind, "I'll go into Shengjing with you, and I'll go into the palace tonight." ”

While Xiao Yi was talking to Shen Qiong, Mr. Qian San quietly glanced at Xie Li.

Got something to say?

Mr. Qian San nodded, and Xie Li followed him to another tree.

"What's wrong?" Xie Li asked in a low voice.

The anxiety on Mr. Qian San's face can't be faked, and he wants to avoid Xiao Yi, I'm afraid it's about the old man of Qianliang.
