At noon, when the decree came down, the people of the palace were gathered in the courtyard in front of them, and a large number of them knelt on the ground.

The content of the decree is very simple, "Ling Zixu, the king of Pingnan, defended himself in the court, and all the people in the palace were not allowed to leave the palace, and the violators were immediately beheaded, and they were here!" ”

Ling Zixu wiped a cold sweat and secretly rejoiced that he still had a chance to defend himself, indicating that the emperor did not believe in those slanderous accusations and wanted to listen to himself.

When Ling Zixu was escorted out of the palace, an uninvited guest came to Hecui Palace, Windy City.

He Mengxi pretended to be surprised: "Wind Chief, why haven't you left yet, oh, I understand, you have to wait until the dead of night and leave unnoticed, right, it's okay, understand." ”

"How do you know I'm leaving, just for your words, I won't leave!" Windy City leaned against a tree.

"Don't, don't, what are you doing with me, it's important to save your life, let's go!" He Mengxi persuaded falsely.

Windy City was angry, with an expression of laziness to pay attention to her.

After pausing for a moment, Fang Youyou said: "The prince is leaving, let me take a good look at you, so your task of leaving me is complete!" ”

"Oh!" He Mengxi looked like this.

She looked at Fengcheng and suddenly smiled: "Ling Zixu can prevent the wrong person this time, the palace is like this, I don't bother to pay attention to his women!" ”

Windy City said that he actually asked me to protect you, but he didn't bother to say it, and since then he has been guarding the door of Hecui Palace.

At nightfall, a large number of officers and soldiers entered the palace, saying that they wanted to search the palace.

Except for the Hecui Palace, all the places were full of officers and soldiers.

Although the words came that it was not allowed to disturb the inner family, the screams and cries continued one after another, so He Mengxi couldn't stay in the room, and sat side by side with Windy City on the roof of the Hecui Palace.

The lights and candles in the palace at night shined like day, which reminded He Mengxi of the night when Ji Fan and Aunt Qinyu came to commit the crime, it was also such a bright night, but it was hidden bloody and dangerous.

Windy City sat with her in the shadow of the tree, in the bevel of the roof, covered by the eaves, looking at everything that was irreversible around her.

"Is there any news from Wei Feng?" He Mengxi asked in a low voice.

"Hmm!" Windy City replied faintly.

"What is the result of the court's self-defense?"

"Not optimistic!"

"No, Ling Zixu is not very good at quibbling, how can he ......?"

Windy City glanced at her, unhappy with her implicit sarcasm.

After a pause, he said, "There is a lot of incredible evidence, and it is difficult to put into words!" ”

"Evidence of his rebellion?"

"Hmm!"

"Is it ......?"

He Mengxi was just about to ask something more, when he suddenly heard a voice in the distance: "Don't run!" ”

The two of them looked behind together, only to see a woman's figure rushing out of the Splendid Palace in the distance, as if she was holding something and was about to jump into the pond, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers.

The thing he was holding was knocked down, and countless torches moved past, and soon a voice shouted: "Found it, found ......"

The two of them bowed down, and He Mengxi asked Windy City, "Do you see what it is?" ”

Windy City pondered for a long time: "It's like some letters!" ”

"Maybe it's a foreign letter, and I have to do a full set!" He Mengxi thought thoughtfully, "Windy City, have you thought about it, why did you find it in the Splendid Palace?" ”

Windy City said without thinking: "Someone deliberately let it go, the maid who rushed out is a mole!" ”

As soon as these words came out, He Mengxi laughed silently.

Suddenly, there was another commotion in front of them, and the two turned their heads, only to see the direction of the study on fire, and then, a team of officers and soldiers came to put out the fire, and after fighting for a while, the fire was finally extinguished, but the study was a ruin.

"Someone deliberately set the fire!" He Mengxi made a timely judgment.

"There is more than one internal traitor, the inside and the outside should be combined, this game is big enough to be difficult to break!" Windy City's voice was muffled.

"What about Wei Feng, why doesn't he ......?"

"From the moment the officers and soldiers entered the palace, he was taken into custody!"

"So, now that you're the only free body, you're hiding from me, you're smart!"

"Will the princess hand me over?"

"Don't worry, no! Just stay here! He Mengxi said easily.

At this moment, a team of torches was erected at the entrance of Hecui Palace, and someone knocked on the door vigorously.

He Mengxi jumped down from the roof, and at this time, Qingmei came out of the West Chamber.

He Mengxi ordered: "All the people come out and bring me a chair!" ”

The door of the wing room was wide open, the chairs were moved, Qingmei, Ah Chun, Ah Xia, and Ah Qiu stood behind He Mengxi in turn, and the other little maids and servants stood behind.

The gate opened, and a group of officers and soldiers with torches rushed in, illuminating the palace as if it were day.

A general in armor followed behind, and when he saw He Mengxi sitting in the courtyard, dressed gorgeously and with a cold expression, he knew that it was Princess Chen Guo, and hurriedly saluted.

"He Rong has seen Princess Jinlin!"

"No courtesy, I don't know what happened when the general broke into Hecui Palace at night?"

"I didn't dare to disturb the driver, just because I searched the palace at night, and the incidents were frequent, so I came to remind the princess, if someone intruded, inform me, etc., at this critical juncture, I am afraid that someone will jump off the wall in a hurry!"

"You Lao reminds you, since the general is here, why not help the palace to give a word to Your Majesty, the palace is no longer easy to live in, I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it!"

"Princess Jinlin, don't worry, I will spread the word tonight, if there is nothing to do, Ben will retreat!"

He Mengxi was about to nod, but shook his head slightly.

He Rong was puzzled, and suddenly saw He Mengxi turning his head sideways and looking at the roof ridge of the east wing, He Rong was shocked and was just about to give an order, only to see a black shadow jumping up from the ridge.

He Rong exclaimed: "Sure enough, thank you princess, others, chase me!" ”

The officers and soldiers quickly retreated.

The lights and candles in the Hecui Palace are bright, and we are stepping up to pack up and prepare for leaving the house tomorrow morning.

Early in the morning, He Ronglai announced the holy decree, but instead of letting He Mengxi enter the palace immediately, he asked He Mengxi to testify in the court.

To testify, what to testify?

He Mengxi was confused, and thought about it, too, after all, he had lived in the palace for so long, and he couldn't get rid of it, or rather, he had to make an end with Ling Zixu.

Chongming Hall once again ushered in He Mengxi, who is also the current Jinlin princess Chen Meiyu.

"Princess Jinlin is here!" The palace people sang loudly.

He Mengxi was dressed in a costume, the hairpin golden phoenix spread its wings and swayed, the tassels hung down, the splendid mountains and rivers and flowers were dressed in court clothes, the steps were steady, and the expression was solemn and elegant, and appeared at the door of the Chongming Palace.

There was no sound in the hall for a while, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked over, only to see a beautiful woman, a cold expression, and a noble and elegant woman walking in.

The slender waist is curled, the steps are gentle, the skin is like snow, the skin is like porcelain jade, the eyebrows are handsome, the eyes are clear, the demeanor is reserved, the complexion is beautiful, and the wonderful wind and bones that are difficult to hide, such as the bright moon in the dark night sky, make the dull court a little brighter.

There was a low "tsk" sound.

The courtiers who had never seen Princess Chen were all amazed, and those who had seen her were also shocked by her powerful aura today.

The emperor of Shu is lofty, and He Mengxi pays a big salute.

"Chen Meiyu see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live!" He Mengxi shouted.

"Princess Jinlin, I have allowed you to enter the palace immediately, but before entering the palace, you still need to confront Ling Zixu face to face, but the courtiers are suspicious!"
