Two days later, the national memorial ceremony was held as scheduled, and Emperor Liang Qin and a group of imperial relatives and important ministers marched to the City God Temple.

Seeing this scene, King Chang couldn't help but smile: The secret guards of the Fierce King's Mansion really didn't dare to stay here.

The national memorial ceremony is a major event of the country, and in order to show the royal majesty, the City God Temple has been sealed off and forbidden to enter since last night.

Fortunately, Gu Huanli had long been accustomed to these troublesome things of the royal family, so he ordered someone to send Yun Yun in early and pretend to be a monk and place him in the temple.

The people who can participate in the national memorial ceremony are all relatives of the emperor, and there are a few officials who are also second-class, judging from Lu Xuan's official rank, she should never be able to enter this City God Temple today.

But who is called Gu Huanli, a powerful backer? With him, it is not impossible to go to heaven and earth.

The imperial family would bring two guards with him, and Lu Xuan pretended to be an entourage and followed Gu Huanli with Lin Wei.

Although the name Lu Xuan is often mentioned by the civil and military officials, there is no one who has really seen her except for a few people from the household department and the criminal department who have really seen her among the second-rank and above officials.

The princes followed closely behind Emperor Liang Qin, Gu Huanli had always been lazy, and no one would say anything if he fell behind, so he took Lu Xuan and Lin Wei to drag slowly and leisurely at the back of the team.

As long as the crown prince is avoided, others will naturally not pose a threat to Lu Xuan's appearance.

In this way, Lu Xuan was able to sneak into the City God Temple without danger.

But the main purpose of Lu Xuan's trip was to guide King Chang, and when she came in, she avoided everyone, and at the same time avoided him, and how to naturally appear in front of him at the moment was something she should consider.

However, it seems that some people are more anxious than Lu Xuan, and I saw that King Chang, who had always avoided Gu Huanli, actually took the initiative to greet him today: "I've seen Uncle Huang." ”

As the saying goes, "Nothing to be courteous is, either a traitor or a thief", King Chang came up to greet him inexplicably, and Gu Huanli didn't even think about it to know what he was for.

Gu Huanli was not in such a hurry to send him away as usual, but asked him in an extremely gentle tone: "Is there something wrong with King Chang?" ”

King Chang hurriedly shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that the national memorial ceremony is about to start, and Uncle Huang is standing here, but who are you waiting for?" ”

Gu Huanli was silent, and King Chang spoke again: "I saw two guards coming by Uncle Huang's side just now, why is there only one Lin Guard left?" ”

Sure enough, he came to find out Lu Xuan's whereabouts.

Gu Huan Li simply nodded in agreement: "She went to the backyard to deal with some private matters, and this king really wants to wait for her, but it seems that it is too late at this hour." ”

After saying this, King Chang immediately glanced sideways at Lin Wei: "It's better to go over and join Your Majesty first." ”

Lin Wei nodded, and Gu Huanli looked at King Chang again: "Then King Chang...... Do you want to go along? ”

Finally found out Lu Xuan's whereabouts, King Chang was reluctant to give up, and when he saw Gu Huanli asking, he immediately shook his head and refused: "I, I want to make it easier, Uncle Huang will go first." ”

Gu Huanli didn't say much, then turned around and left, and before leaving, he specially reminded King Chang to be sure to do it as soon as possible, so as not to miss the hour.

Receiving Gu Huanli's guidance, King Chang didn't even have the slightest suspicion, and walked towards the backyard of the City God Temple without saying a word.

Seeing that King Chang had walked away, Gu Huanli stopped and looked at Lin Wei: "Follow the past, be sure to ensure the safety of Lu Xuan and Yun Yun." ”

Lin Wei received the order, and then came out of the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches.

At that time, Lu Xuan had been wandering in the most conspicuous place in the courtyard for a long time, when she felt someone coming from behind her, and when she saw that it was indeed King Chang, she went into the room where Yun Yun was.

King Chang followed cautiously, and Lu Xuan deliberately left a thin crack in the door, and when he saw the person inside through the crack, King Chang was almost so frightened that he sat on the ground.

"Is it really her, is she really not dead?" King Chang was only suspicious two days ago, but today it can be regarded as seeing is believing.

"She didn't come to see me when she lived, but appeared here, it seems that what Qingmeng said is true." King Chang muttered in his heart, and gradually strengthened his determination to extinguish his mouth.

On the other hand, he was instructed by Gu Huanli in advance, and the Hubu Shangshu, who had been slandered by King Chang in the court, found the right time to spread the news among the ministers-

"I heard that some people in the eastern suburbs of the military camp that were exterminated by His Majesty's order have escaped, and now they seem to be hiding in this City God Temple." Tobe Shangshu cautiously spoke to a few adults who were familiar with each other on weekdays.

Officialdom is often boring, but whenever there is some turmoil, it will be spread around as a pastime.

Sure enough, before a cup of tea was made, the news spread among officials from all walks of life.

The crown prince has many eyes and ears in the court, and this kind of news naturally can't escape his ears, and someone immediately made it clear to him.

"If you escape from the punishment of the Holy Command and can hide here, someone must be sheltered." The prince was keenly aware of this, and immediately thought of the previous—

When King Chang insisted on framing Lu Xuan in the court, the prince saw the connection between him and the eastern suburbs, and originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the martial arts, but in the end, both sides retreated.

Previously, the crown prince had never regarded King Chang as an obstacle to his succession to the throne, after all, he really didn't deserve to be taken seriously by others.

But this time, King Chang actually raised soldiers and horses privately, and at the time of the East Window incident, there was a strategy to push the boat down the river to frame Lu Xuan, which really made the prince unable to ignore his growth.

In addition, Emperor Liang Qin clearly saw through King Chang's trick that day, but he still tried his best to block it for him, which shows that King Chang still has some weight in Emperor Liang Qin's heart.

The crown prince acted rather than kill a hundred by mistake than let go of one, and he would never allow anyone who threatened his succession to the throne to exist.

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but move some kind of thought, which coincided with Gu Huanli.

After thinking for a moment, the crown prince spoke to his cronies who came to report: "This person escaped death, he must have a grudge against his father, and the palace is worried about ......."

"Your Highness is worried that she will assassinate Your Majesty?" Cronies asked the prince.

The prince nodded: "I don't dare to rule out this possibility, although there is a leader of the Imperial Forest Army in the City God Temple at the moment, but the Imperial Forest Army still doesn't know about it, if someone takes this opportunity to escort ......"

As he spoke, the prince smiled meaningfully at his cronie.

At this time, if someone rescues him, he will inevitably be rewarded by Emperor Liang Qin, and such a plan to kill two birds with one stone is simply determined to win.

The cronies understood the prince's intentions, and immediately went out to preside over the rescue among the ministers.

Who doesn't want such feats? Although he has been robbed of his head now, it is not impossible to get involved in the corners.

Thus, an hour before the start of the national memorial ceremony, the ministers carefully gathered at the place indicated in the message of the Tobe Shoshu.

At that time, Lu Xuan had already left the room where Yun Yun was, and was replaced by King Chang, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Just outside the door, King Chang heard Lu Xuan and Yun Yun clearly, and Lu Yun decided that he forgot his righteousness for the sake of profit, and he was still shaken after Lu Xuan's persuasion.

King Chang was full of panic outside the door, and he couldn't wait to rush in after seeing Lu Xuan leave.

Seeing King Chang break in, she was not surprised, after all, she already knew that there would be such a link when she was planning countermeasures.

However, he hadn't seen King Chang for a long time, and he still couldn't hold back and rushed towards him with joy: "Your Highness." ”

She was fascinated and teary-eyed for a while, but King Chang pushed her hand away: "Why are you here, aren't you already ......"

King Chang didn't finish his sentence, but no one could guess what the omitted part was.

Only then did she come to her senses, and her mind was full of what Gu Huanli and Shen Xixu had said to her in the secret prison of the Criminal Department that day, and it was not until this moment that she believed it more and more.

"Your Highness knows about the fire in the barracks?" Yun Yun asked tentatively towards King Chang.

King Chang's expression dodged instantly, and he hesitated for a long time before responding: "That's all my father's order, and His Royal Highness can't do anything about it." ”

Powerless? It's a good sentence that there is nothing to be done, and when Tong Yun was tortured and questioned by the Criminal Department to defend King Chang before, he never felt powerless.

"What about Your Highness? And how did His Highness get out? Yun Yun asked.

King Chang began to turn his face and deny it: "My father has found the real mastermind of the military camp in the eastern suburbs......"

"But Your Highness knows it's fake!" Yun Yun was forced to collapse a little by King Chang's ruthlessness and unrighteousness: "Your Highness should know that Yun Yun only recognizes His Royal Highness from beginning to end." ”

King Chang became more and more flustered by what Yun Yun said, seeing that time was getting more and more urgent, and he was even anxious to break up relations with her.

"The barracks are gone, isn't it good for you to disappear while your father doesn't know that you're still alive?" Chang Dynasty asked, or pleaded.

From his eyes, he saw the kind of thought that Gu Huanli said was about caring for his personal life and death.

After being silent for a moment, Yun Yuncai raised his eyes to look at King Chang again: "Is it really as that person said, that fire was simply put by His Highness to save his life?" ”

Yun Yun never said the name of that person, but King Chang knew it in his heart, and immediately reached out to hold her shoulder: "Your Highness warns you, don't want to help him!" ”

"Then what if I insist on telling in front of the Manchu Dynasty and His Majesty that you are raising soldiers and horses in the eastern suburbs?" Yun Yun glared at King Chang angrily.

King Chang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and then looked at her with a grim face: "Then don't blame His Highness for not remembering the old feelings!" ”

With that, King Chang immediately took out the dagger he had prepared early in the morning from his waist, and at the same time, Tobe Shangshu, who heard his words outside the door, immediately rushed in.

Before King Chang could make a move, a group of ministers appeared in front of him, and the murder weapon in his hand was suddenly frightened and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Yun Yun was completely chilled: "Your Highness, you really want to kill me?" ”

On the other side was the rebuke of the Hubu Shangshu: "It turned out that it was His Royal Highness King Chang who raised soldiers and horses in the eastern suburbs, no wonder you framed Lu Xuan in every possible way before, and it turned out that you wanted to exonerate yourself!" ”

Tobe Shangshu's voice was impassioned, and everyone present could hear it clearly.
