Chapter 535: One Hundred Secrets Must Be Missing
How powerful is the emperor of Daliang Kingdom, whether it is the ministers in the court or the ordinary people of the people, I am afraid that once I open my mouth, I can say that I can talk for three days and three nights without pause. Not to mention, Prime Minister Liu Cheng's family was beheaded a few years ago, and the same tragic fate in the Six Princes' Mansion two years ago, this emperor's words, hundreds of lives under the executioner's big knife, everyone dare not forget it, let alone pull the dragon's beard.
No matter how dissatisfied they were, and even felt that this was an insult and contempt for themselves, they could only follow what these palace maids and eunuchs who usually didn't look down on them said. He didn't bring anything, he didn't bring anything, so he walked into the city gate alone, leaving only a back that was still somewhat indignant and unwilling.
So a man went in, and the man brought more people and things from his house all the way was immediately placed in other places, and when the man finally came out, they went up and sent their master home. As for how long it will take, it depends on whether the banquet tonight goes smoothly or not, and whether there will be another major accident that can be said to be expected.
Two more men entered, and the carriage followed a few paces. Impatient people will find such a wait a kind of trouble. However, for Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan, two people with special abilities, there is no problem. Rao is so, the emperor seems to be very considerate to them, originally thought that they would have to wait forever, maybe at least half an hour, Gonggong Li, who was following them, suddenly got off his carriage at this time, accompanied by two little eunuchs, and walked over.
Gonggong Li gently knocked on the screen window, and after arousing the idea of Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan, he told them that the emperor had made preparations in advance, and the two of them could enter through the other exit, so there was no need to wait so long.
The emperor's "intimate" is "intimate", but Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan don't think he has any good intentions, it is estimated that they are afraid that they will wait too long, and they will have many dreams at night, so they don't have the patience to wait, so they left. Then tonight's banquet will be meaningless. He simply opened another passage so that they could enter without waiting. Of course, whether you can get out so smoothly after entering is only up to the emperor.
After all, they had to go in, and Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan didn't think about escaping halfway. After all, the monk can't run the temple, the Xianwang Mansion is here, and the baby is still here. Whatever they say, it is impossible to do such a thing. Since they can wait a little less, they are happy to enjoy this privilege for once.
Gonggong Li returned to his carriage, walked in front of Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan, led them to turn a corner, and walked on another road. Xuanyuan Yichen was born and raised in this palace and didn't go out until he was a teenager, and he knew at a glance that he was just following him to a side door of the palace.
It's just that Xuanyuan Yichen hasn't walked on this road again for a long time, and together with Liu Qingyan's sight, he has never left the scenery outside the screen window. At first, it was still a crowded queue. After walking for a while, the situation was slightly better, and the carriage and horses in front of me were at least not so crowded.
Xuanyuan Yichen suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at Liu Qingyan, who was almost next to him, and said softly: "Look, is it the carriage procession of King Xiande?" ”
Liu Qingyan was actually looking at this, after all, the chariots and horses of the Xiande Palace's chariots and horses had their special marks on them, and as the chariots and horses of the palace, they were naturally a little different from other civil and military ministers. On both sides of the carriage, there were more than a dozen guards, as well as a few maids. In the past, King Xiande's side would never follow so many maids, so it seems that Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan couldn't help but guess whether King Xiande brought his princess, that is, the former princess of Mongolia, Li Yusheng, out with him.
Although Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan are unfathomable in martial arts, even their hearing and eyesight are beyond the reach of ordinary people, but hearing may be able to hear through anything, but there is really no way to see through things. The screen on the window of the carriage of the Xiande Palace's mansion must have been specially made, no matter how Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan stared at each other, it was impossible to see the situation inside the carriage. And the people inside were extremely quiet, and the two of them could only guess based on the number of people who followed the more than the previous number of maids, Princess Xiande must have come with King Xiande.
After a while, the carriage of the Xiande Palace, as well as other carriages, were left behind the carriage that Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan were riding. And their carriage, along with the carriage of Gonggong Li in front, gradually stopped. In front of it, there was a much smaller gate. However, the number of people guarding this city gate is much more than usual, and presumably, the emperor has already been prepared.
After getting out of the carriage, the privileges enjoyed by Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan came to an end, and like the other civil and military ministers, none of the personal guards and Yahuan and others who had followed behind them could follow up, and they didn't have to or couldn't carry anything on them.
After some nonsense and arrangement, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan walked into the city gate empty-handed, letting the others continue to guard the city gate, and Gonggong Li obediently followed behind them. The moment he stepped into the city gate, Liu Qingyan secretly sneered: The emperor has calculated thousands of calculations, but after all, there is one less calculation. Guarding against the people who followed them, guarding against the things they were carrying, but no one was looking for a hand to search them. The things on the bright side were naturally left outside the city gate, but only she knew what was still hidden on Liu Qingyan's body.
However, there is one thing, that is, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan are very clear, there must be a mistake in the hundred secrets, and if it is this omission, the emperor will definitely regret it at that time. Of course, even if there was no such omission, Liu Qingyan's body did not hide these things that he didn't have, or he was simply searched out and detained by those people, but with Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan's extraordinary kung fu, they would never be trapped in danger like last time, and they could finally escape.
This time, there were only two of them, husband and wife, not with the baby, and once something dangerous happened, they could easily leave the palace without saying a word. Unlike last time, one of them was seriously injured and the other was pregnant, both of which were in very bad physical condition. And this time, both of them are physically strong, without any burdens and troubles, and no one can stop them from doing what they want to do.
Of course, at best, nothing will happen tonight, like a most ordinary dinner. Then, between Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan, plus the emperor, nothing will happen. It's just that this must not happen. Therefore, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan did not have this hope at all. I can only hope that at the dinner, the scene two years ago will not happen, and there is no need to force the husband and wife to escape from the palace in this desperate way.
The venue for the dinner was the same as the last one. There are countless palaces in the palace, and there are many palaces dedicated to holding various banquets. I really don't understand why the emperor likes to invite Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan to the banquet so much, and always arranges it to be held in this palace. Could it be that the emperor has the idea of "where he falls, he will get up from there"? It's just that, in the eyes of Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan, it is more likely that "the first time I fell was ignorance; The second time you fall in the same place, you are stupid; If you fall in the same place for the third time, you are hopelessly stupid", and the emperor's approach is undoubtedly stupid to death, stupid to death!
It can be seen that this palace has really made a lot of preparations. From a distance, I saw that outside the palace, two rows of lanterns were hung high, almost illuminating the night sky above the palace. The guests must have not arrived yet, and the banquet had not yet begun, but from a long distance, the melodious music could be heard coming from that direction. However, perhaps even the musicians who played these pieces sensed that this banquet tonight would not be a good one, so that there was a faint atmosphere of worry and danger lurking in their performances.
Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan are also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they can understand a thing or two just by listening to it superficially. As the husband and wife walked, they looked at each other, and they didn't have to say anything, but just told each other with their own eyes that they must be careful. Not only because of the music played by the musicians, but also because from this music, the couple already heard the hidden sound of breathing. And within their line of sight, they could clearly see a lot of dark shadows that were pitch black and indistinguishable. But even if you can't see what it is, you can no longer understand in your heart that those are nothing more than the black-clothed figures specially arranged by the emperor and waiting for the opportunity to move.
Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan seemed to disagree, but in their hearts, they had already secretly raised the spirit of 120,000 points and made emergency preparations. It is even more rare that the hands of the two people are not held together, but each is shrunk in their sleeves, just waiting for the unexpected situation, they can take out the corresponding weapons in the shortest possible time and take immediate action.
The two of them walked seemingly casually, and at the same time looked back at Gonggong Li. Gonggong Li took the two little eunuchs and silently followed behind them. When they were in person, the pair of eyes that were so honest and heartfelt, and full of old feelings, in the places they couldn't see, clearly turned into a pair of slightly cunning but insidious eyes, looking left and right, up and down, front and back, and even staring at the two figures in front of them from time to time, looking deadly. He didn't react for a while, just in time to see Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan suddenly turn around, and he didn't even have time to take back his damn eyes that wanted their lives, but were more likely to want their own lives. Fortunately, his reaction was not slow, and he quickly lowered his head. I only hope that Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan are the same as themselves, and they didn't react for a while, so they didn't see anything at all!
