Chapter 168: Escaping the Shackles

"Is the emperor crazy?!"

In the west side hall of the Leadhua Palace, a frightened and angry cry was blurted out and was blocked by the noble Jinren, and he dragged Yan Liwu into the inner bedroom in a panic.

"My little ancestor, are you going to die? Let others hear you, I'll have to lose my head! Stroking his chest and letting out a long breath, Jin Guiren's face turned pale, "What the emperor did was indeed a bit excessive, but you can't shout and insult the emperor like this, right?" Besides, these news are all inquired from elsewhere, and I am not sure whether it is true or not, it is always credible if the second prince or the prince of Dingyuan say it in person, what are you anxious about? ”

"When they come, it's too late for anything!" Yan Li couldn't wait to say, "The news came out from the envoys of the five countries for a long time, but Wen Moqing and His Royal Highness didn't move at all, thinking that they were controlled by the emperor and didn't allow them to come." Since they can't come, then I can only go out, whether it is Gongzi Chu or Boss Jun, I have to find someone to understand, and I can't passively wait for others to inform me of everything. ”

The days of sitting and waiting for death were really enough, and when the palace maid who was waiting for the envoy of Nan Qingguo came with the news, she just wanted to find Wen Moqing and Wen Moshu as soon as possible to make sure that she had learned whether the news was true or false.

What are you kidding to let her marry Wen Mozheng?!

Seeing that Yan Li was worried and packed up her things with a calm face, she didn't even cover up her clothes, and she knew in her heart that she was really annoyed, and she couldn't persuade her, so she had to help her put on a narrow-sleeved dress that was more convenient for her movements, and followed Yan Liwu all the way to the door of the inner palace.

"The emperor has decreed that the inner palace is forbidden to enter and exit today, and no one is an exception."

After walking to the door and being stopped by the guards and getting the above reply, Yan Liwu understood that the cunning Wen Jingyuan was completely severing her contact with Wen Moqing and others, and the news that she had decided to marry and make her Wen Mozheng's side room was probably not groundless, but a sure thing.

Knowing that she and Wen Moshu were in love, Wen Jingyuan far-fetched her and Wen Mozheng together, ignoring Wen Moshu's several marriage requests, what was the gloomy and suspicious emperor calculating? Wen Moshu promised not to marry her the night before, but now will she be shaken by Wen Jingyuan's unexpected marriage? And Wen Mozheng, the second prince who wants to compete for the throne, will refuse Wen Jingyuan's marriage in order to fulfill her and Wen Moshu? If Wen Mozheng didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order and agree to marry her, how should Wen Moshu react?

At that moment, Yan Liwu wanted to knock down the two guards and rush out of the inner palace, but when her fingertips touched the Huang Chengjian hidden in her sleeve, the cold touch made her suddenly think of Wen Moqing, and thought of his serious advice five times and three times.

Be calm.

Yan Liwu turned around and walked back, and when he arrived at the gate of the Leadhua Palace, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes and thought about it.

The two marriage arrangements involve her, Wen Moshu and Wen Mozheng, which have nothing to do with Wen Moqing, but Wen Moqing will definitely participate in them, as for his support for Wen Jingyuan's marriage or standing on the united front against this absurd arrangement, it is not clear for the time being, after all, Wen Moqing has always disagreed with the fact that she and Wen Moshu are together.

If Wen Moqing's position is ignored for the time being, there are two possible situations, one is that Wen Mozheng also stands up against the marriage, then there will be a situation where the two princes refuse to marry and damage the emperor's face, and many people will accuse them of ignoring the overall situation; The second is that Wen Mozheng was forced to reluctantly agree to marry her as a side room, if it develops like this, she will definitely not agree, and so will Wen Moshu, when the time comes, the last thing that may happen is that the two brothers have a conflict over this, from a delicate relationship between non-enemies and non-friends to an antagonistic relationship, and Wen Moshu will also become the only one who is at a disadvantage in this dispute.

A slight coolness flowed through her heart, she was not sure if there was a loophole in her speculation, she only felt that the net had been spread, and she was using her as bait, plotting to make Wen Moshu and Wen Mozheng brothers turn against each other in the insidious net.

Although it is not a father and son, it is also a flesh-and-blood uncle-nephew relationship, such cannibalism and forced each other step by step, is it just the illusory imperial power? No wonder Wen Moshu wants to escape, such days are overwhelming, life is better than death.

Yan Li's worry was complicated and heavy, and he didn't pay attention to Jin Guiren, who suddenly showed a surprised expression, and looked straight behind Yan Liwu.

His shoulders sank, and a light breeze blew in his ears.

"Pack up your things and follow me out of the palace."

Yan Liwu gasped and turned around quickly: "Wen Moqing? How did you get in here? ”

"Over the wall." Wen Moqing replied neatly, as if he was not in the mood to go around in circles, grabbed Yan Li's wrist and dragged it towards the Leadhua Palace, "You don't need to bring clothes or anything, just take your useful things, and leave as soon as you finish packing." ”

Wen Moqing's urgency confirmed Yan Li's ruminous speculation, his heart was cold, and his voice was lowered: "The emperor really pointed me out to the fourth prince?" What about Your Highness, where is Your Highness? Does he know that you are going to take me out of the palace? ”

"There's no time to talk nonsense with him." Breaking into the room and seeing that Yan Liwu had already packed up her things, Wen Moqing was slightly stunned, reached out and touched her waist and sleeve that she used to hide the Huang Chengjian in, and nodded slightly after making sure that the sword was in the sleeve, "There is progress." Alright, without further ado, I'll get you out. ”

Jin Guiren has been following closely behind the two, and when he heard Wen Moqing say that he would leave with his worries, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What is the prince going to do?" The guards of the inner palace have been ordered by the emperor not to allow anyone to enter or leave, even if you have a pass token, it is useless, do you want to force your way out? ”

Wen Moqing didn't answer, tied his sleeves, and casually stuffed a hastily folded note to Jin Guiren: "Jin Guiren had better go back to his room, and he shouldn't know what happened before and after." You have to take care of these worries these days, and if you have any trouble in the future, you can find these people on the paper to help, and I will repay this favor for her. ”

"What kind of favor do you say...... Jin Guiren was helpless, but he also understood that he couldn't stop anything as an outsider, so he had to leave the West Side Hall worriedly.

The rules of the palace, the laws of the previous dynasty and Wen Jingyuan's temperament, these words are far less familiar than Wen Moqing, but looking at him in a hurry like this, it can be seen that things are really to the point where he has to go, otherwise Wen Moqing will not take risks easily - over there, Wen Jingyuan just decided to let her marry Wen Mozheng, and Wen Moqing here is in a hurry to sneak into the Leadhua Palace to take her away, this is considered a disobedience to the holy order, right? Wen Moqing has always advocated steadiness and calmness, and if he had no other choice, he would never make such a decision.

Without saying a word, he followed Wen Moqing's side, and when he arrived at the secluded corner of the inner palace, Wen Moqing stretched out his arm and pointed to his waist: "Hold tight, don't move." ”

It's a little awkward, and it's still honest and obedient.

The palace wall is more than two people high, and the top is a smooth glazed tile, which is easy to slip and fall if you are not careful. Wen Moqing took a few steps back and jumped up, her slender arms tightly wrapped around Yan Liwu's waist, and when she jumped on the wall, she was on tiptoe and fell lightly to the ground outside the palace wall.

I am not afraid of heights, but the first time I was used as an accessory, I was inevitably panicked, and I still had palpitations after landing, pounding and pounding.

"I have asked Zhong Yue to wait at the gate of the palace, you go by yourself, and don't pay attention to anyone you meet on the road." Wen Moqing took out an ordinary bronze medal from his waist and handed it to Yan Liwu, "This is the pass card used by the palace maid when buying, and it can no longer be used after two minutes. ”

It is almost time to come out of the lead palace, and the Tianque Hall is in the opposite direction of the main gate of the palace, and it is too late to go to the Tianque Palace first and then leave. Yan Liwu didn't know if Wen Moqing was deliberately scaring her or if it was true, in this case, she couldn't take risks, gritted her teeth, and turned her head to run in the direction of the palace gate.

Wen Moqing's gaze followed Yan Li's thin back until she disappeared at the end of the palace wall, her eyes, which were deeper than the night, suddenly melted into a little softness, and her stiff fist slowly loosened.

This move, he made a very dangerous move.

As Wen Moqing said, Zhong Yue was waiting anxiously outside the palace gate, and when she saw Yan Li running out of breath from a distance, she immediately stepped forward to take her into the carriage.

"The young master was worried that there was Lian Song's eyeliner in the city, so he specially borrowed a friend's former residence in the suburbs of the imperial capital to live temporarily, and this trip would take two hours, not to mention it. Miss Yan, take a rest in the car, you didn't have much rest last night, and your body will burn down if you go on like this. ”

"How do you know I didn't sleep last night?" Yan Liyu frowned sensitively.

"Miss Yan said with a smile, Chu Yang and I have been guarding outside the Leadhua Palace, when will you turn off the lights, and who will go to and from the West Side Palace, we will all watch carefully with wide eyes." Zhong Yue was slightly dissatisfied when he heard Yan Li's worried tone, smiled, and was not in a hurry to explain, "The young master is really worried about Miss Yan, and has told us several times to guard the Leadhua Palace to ensure the safety of Miss Yan." Maybe in Miss Yan's opinion, this is surveillance, and we will feel disgusted, but those of us who have followed the young master for many years know very well that the young master just cares too much about Miss Yan, even if he is misunderstood, he doesn't care. ”

"Who's going to misunderstand him?" Yan Liwu argued without confidence, and then turned his attention back to business, "Zhong Yue, do you know what happened to Wen Moqing and them when they went to Yangcheng Hall today?" ”

Zhong Yue nodded: "The young master has roughly explained the matter. I don't know much about those calculations and the like, and I don't have the mind of the young lord to peel back the cocoon and analyze, the only thing I understand is that the emperor wants Miss Yan to marry the fourth prince. Not to mention the young master and the second prince in this matter, even Chu Yang and I will not agree, a person like Miss Yan who yearns for freedom without restraint should not be bound by anyone's orders - ah, these are the meaning of the young master, I just borrowed it. ”

Unrestrained, yearning for freedom...... When she decided to be with Wen Moshu, these were all abandoned by her, but now in exchange for it, there is no way back.

Yan Li sighed quietly, Zhong Yue hurriedly comforted him when he saw this, and then closed the carriage door and drove in person, driving away with Yan Li Worry outside the imperial capital.
