Chapter 132: The Emperor's Mind (18)
Hearing He Xuan's eloquent talk about the prison robbery, the holy queen straightened her clothes slightly and sat upright on the chair.
The status of the Holy Queen is noble, and the behavior of breaking into the palace is indeed abrupt.
Wu Xi made a salute, apologized for Fang Cai's faux pas, and saw that her face was slightly pale, so she slowly spoke, "When the soldiers were approaching the city, the imperial city was closed in one fell swoop. Yun Demon did evil outside, slaughtered several important ministers of the court, and left no slaves and maids in the palace, and even the general's mansion was destroyed, and none of them survived..."
Hearing the news, the Holy Queen was full of surprise.
"The He Mansion and the General's Mansion have always been called the 'sword and shield' of the royal family, and the sword and shield are one, so that the royal family is worry-free. Now that the 'shield' has been destroyed, how can the 'sword' be left alone? ”
The voice of the breath was extremely low, and it attached to Lin Qinyue's ears like a ghost, making her tremble, "Holy Queen... You said... Will the next target of Yun Demon be Hefu? ”
In the last few words, the breath was extremely low, forcing the Holy Queen, who had been on the throne, to breathe as well. Wu Xi did not let go of this detail, and continued with a slight ripple on the corner of his lips.
"The head of the He Mansion is trapped in the imperial city, and He Xuan has already entered the palace. He Yu died in the mansion, and there is no one in the He mansion..."
Words and sentences, interlocking, straight to the heart.
With such words, although the Holy Queen was frightened in her heart, she said lightly, "This has nothing to do with this palace..."
"The second lady of the He Mansion has been closed all the year round, does not ask about the world, and lives in the side hall of the He Mansion..." He once had a big quarrel with Ling Zunlin because of his admission to the He Mansion as a concubine, and even disobeyed the holy order..."
Hearing this, not only He Xuan, but even the Holy Queen looked at the masked man with a surprised face. He was dressed in a dark shirt, with a black cloak draped wide over his head, and a mask covering his face, revealing only a pair of slanted eyes.
The slightest mysterious aura is revealed from the inside out, making people slightly flustered.
It's like his eyes that seem to see through everything.
"What do you want?" A trace of darkness crossed her eyes, and the Holy Queen settled her mind and looked at Wuxi with great solemnity.
"It's easy!" The corners of his mouth under the mask raised slightly, "It's okay to only ask the Holy Queen to save the life of Prince Nanrong!" ”
Easy?
The corners of Nan Rongpuchu's mouth twitched slightly.
Wu Xi touched his nose and said lightly, "In return, I can bring Ling Mei back to the Imperial City safely." ”
"Si Ye colluded with the demons, intended to rebel, broke into the Qiancheng Hall at night, and was personally captured by the saint! Such a great sin, how can this palace interfere with? The Holy Queen frowned.
"But the Holy Queen also has a father who is deeply trusted by the Holy Lord!" Wu sighed lightly, "Cangyin Continent, who hasn't heard of the name of the Imperial City Lin Xiang?" ”
"Besides... The prince of Nanrong is famous for the country and the people, and has won the praise of the people in the north. Wu Xi changed his words and muttered, "In this special period, when you break into the Qiancheng Palace at night, you will immediately be convicted of a crime. I'm afraid there's something else going on. ”
Seeing that the Holy Empress was silent, He Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "With the joint persuasion of the Holy Queen, Lin Xiang, and my father, I don't ask for forgiveness for Prince Nanrong, but the Holy Lord will definitely look at the situation and give a few days of grace before executing!" ”
"It only takes three days!" ”
Wu Xi's eyes were like torches, looking directly at the noble lady on the throne, which was rude, but it made the people on the seat not feel uncomfortable, but their hearts were shocked.
"It only takes three days!" Wu Xi said firmly, "I can find evidence, clear the charge of Prince Nanrong, and return him to his innocence!" ”
Wu Xi and He Xuan sang and harmonized, and cooperated tacitly. The Holy Queen's heart moved, and she agreed to come down and shelter them in the temple to rest.
It is not easy to think that once the Holy Queen agrees, she will not only intercede for her father, but also shelter them in the temple and settle them in the temple, and even try to send them out of the city.
Every single one of these, once it fails, is a great sin!
Nan Rong Puchu couldn't help but look up at Wu Xi-
The person who spoke was smiling, upright, and his words were chiseled.
Nan Rong Puchu's inner words slipped into his mind, "The martial arts of the predecessors who are serious and fool people, compared to Ling Xiu, it is really surpassed. ”
……
Tonight's Northern Palace is not very quiet after all.
After Nan Rongpu quietly infiltrated the Holy Queen's dormitory, the palace was more heavily defended, and the patrol guards were even more secretive. Everyone in the palace was in danger and trembling.
The heavy darkness of the night came in, blocking the shadows of the night.
In a guest room in the side hall, He Yi has been by He Cheng's side, feeling a little tired. He Cheng saw that he looked tired and took pity on him for his fatigue, so he let him go back to his room early to sleep.
Xu has had too many trivial matters recently, and He Yi only felt extremely tired, but he fell asleep after a while and quietly fell asleep.
After sleeping for a while, he turned over and woke up, only to hear mourning and weeping around him. He looked around and found himself in a cave, sleeping on his knees, with dead grass underneath him.
At the entrance of the cave, I saw the vast mountains, the endless fields at the foot of the mountains, and the wild flowers in the depths of the fields.
Who's crying?
He didn't bother to enjoy the scenery in front of him, but just looked around.
The cry was gone, and a wolf howl shook the sky!
A thick bloody aura greeted him, and red lanterns lit up in the depths of the cave. The lanterns are getting closer and closer, and getting closer and closer.
Suddenly it flickered, and opened its bloody mouth!
Where are the lanterns! It's clearly the eyes of a pack of wolves!
He was terrified to the extreme, but he controlled himself so hard that he did not scream, his legs trembled, but he quickly got up and ran away as fast as he could.
The surrounding mountains receded inch by inch, gradually turning into forests. Thorns are dense and weeds are everywhere. But he stepped on it recklessly, leaving a trail of blood.
There were bursts of pain on the soles of the feet, new injuries that were not healed, and old injuries were added. But he didn't dare to stop for a moment, only heard the wolves roaring behind him, as if biting at the back.
He was running with all his might, sweating like rain, but suddenly he felt that his body was getting colder and colder.
"Yi'er! Don't be afraid! There was a gentle reassurance in his ears, and the man seemed to be rushing towards him, with a long sword in his hand and a graceful figure. He watched her get closer and closer, and his heart slowly relaxed.
Then, before he could wait for her to get to his side, he fell into the swamp hole!
"Boom!"
He Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly burst into tears.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and it seemed that the windows were open.
"No wonder the more I sleep, the colder I get, the colder I get." In the darkness of the night, he tugged at the quilt vaguely, trying to see if the window was closed, and saw a figure standing at the head of the bed.
Who!
He Yi sat up suddenly!
The man was dressed in a brown-black robe, tall and tall, and his whole face was hidden in shadows, so that he could not see it really. He Yi recognized the person at once, and he didn't know what his intention was, so he had to be cautious, get out of bed and bow.
The man smiled slightly, approached He Yi, and whispered something in his ear.
seemed to be a gentle and intimate move, but He Yi immediately stiffened and sweated coldly at this moment. His face was pale, and he was stunned for a long time, and seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said slowly, "I do!" ”
The man seemed to smile with satisfaction, and turned to walk away.
He Yi immediately picked up the coat at the head of the bed, followed resignedly, and disappeared into the deep night.
