After nightfall, most of the people in the palace were transferred, leaving less than 500 people, scattered throughout the palace. Jiao Changqing brought the news of "martial law in the whole city" to Meng Xilan.

"Niangniang, the emperor's army is here."

Meng Xilan frowned lightly when she heard this, and then slowly stretched out.

"It's a matter of time, now, there are not many people in the palace, so we have to ask for more blessings."

The palace doors were all locked, and they could only be opened from the inside, but when the war broke out, I don't know how many people would rush into the palace like crazy. After all, in their eyes, this is the safest place in the capital.

"Niangniang, there is still no news of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside......"

Jiao Changqing sent someone to inquire for a long time, but there was no news at all.

Meng Xilan took a deep breath and said, "Since there is no news of him in this city, and Chu Jingchuan has not found him, it means that he is out of the city now, and he is safe for the time being." ”

Gao Welfare has always been cautious and cautious, and he will not leave clues for Chu Jingchuan to follow.

Meng Xilan walked to the window, looked out of the window silently for a while, then turned her gaze to look at Jiao Changqing and said, "Actually, the person I am most worried about now is not the prince, but ourselves. ”

When Jiao Changqing heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, but there was no timidity or uneasiness on his face.

"Niangniang, in fact, you don't have to stay in the palace all the time, you can leave."

"This palace is the queen, how can you escape?" Meng Xilan's voice was light, but her attitude was very persistent.

When Jiao Changqing heard this, he was silent for a long time.

is as stubborn as her, and he can't take her.

"If even I escape, the Zhou clan will become a big joke in the eyes of others."

When it comes to life and death, being alive is certainly the most important thing, but the honor of being a member of the Zhou royal family still needs someone to protect it.

Suddenly, someone from outside the palace came.

Song Qing'er took a palace maid and asked to see her outside.

Ever since her daughter was sent out of the palace by Meng Xilan, she has obeyed Meng Xilan's words and has no objections.

"Mother, have you heard?" As soon as Song Qing'er came in, she couldn't wait to grab her hand, and asked with a little emotion: "The emperor is here, are we going to be saved?" ”

Meng Xilan looked at her and said, "Now is the most dangerous time. Chu Jingchuan is bent on preparing for the war, he will transfer all the people in the palace, and we can only rely on ourselves. ”

Song Qing'er's face turned pale when she heard this: "Rely on ourselves?" How is this possible......"

Meng Xilan said in a deep voice: "There is still something that is impossible at the moment. ”

Song Qing'er's shoulders trembled slightly: "How can those palace maids and eunuchs succeed?" And the people outside are like hungry mad dogs. ”

They are all a group of helpless people, and they are barely able to protect themselves.

Meng Xilan said lightly: "Don't underestimate them. ”

No matter how useless he is, he also has his strengths.

Meng Xilan took Song Qing'er to the courtyard at the back, where the palace maids and eunuchs who had been gathered by her were preparing their own weapons.

The palace maid collected a lot of fragments of porcelain plates, which were extremely sharp, and they were not lost to those swords that could take people's lives lightly.

Song Qing'er looked at them and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Mother, they are ......"

Meng Xilan stood behind her and said softly, "Protect yourself, they have all learned how to protect themselves." ”

If you give it a try, you may still have hope of life.

Song Qing'er was silent for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly curled the corners of her lips, revealing a melancholy smile.

At such a time, no one will come to save them. Before the emperor's army could be reached, the people of the capital would rush into the palace and steal everything here to vent their fear and anger.

Song Qing'er turned around and glanced at Meng Xilan, and nodded silently: "The concubine understands." ”

The cold winter is cold, and everything is so unkind.

……

A shrill cry woke Carefree from his sleep.

She sat up, cold sweat on her forehead, and hurriedly called Mingyue.

Mingyue was sleepy-eyed, looked at her at a loss, and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Who's calling?"

"Huh? No one...... "Mingyue went outside with her coat on her coat and took a closer look.

The courtyard was silent, and there was no one but the guards patrolling back and forth.

Mingyue returned to Wuwu's side and wiped her sweat and back: "Your Highness, it's okay outside, you must be having a nightmare." ”

Carefree caressed his chest, gasped deeply, and calmed down for a moment.

She clenched her hand uneasily, "Mingyue, you go and bring the child over." ”

Her heart was pounding, and she always felt that something was about to happen.

A lot of the Chu family's guards have been transferred, and the whole house is panicked.

After a while, Mingyue was wrapped in a big coat and carefully escorted the little master over. "Your Highness, the child has just fallen asleep......"

Worry-free took the child in his arms, and his heart was a little more stable. Her mind was restless, but the daughter in her arms slept soundly.

Mingyue lit a candle and came over to accompany her, and said softly: "It must be during the day, His Highness was frightened, so he had a nightmare." ”

Carefree shook her head slightly, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

Suddenly, there was a slight movement outside.

Wuwu's whole person immediately became alert again, Mingyue went out to check, only to see a wisp of white smoke coming from the direction of Xiyuan, and couldn't help but be startled.

"Your Highness, it seems that the house is running out of water."

Worry-free was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect his premonition to be so effective.

"It's out of the water, hurry up and go over to put out the fire."

Soon, there was a cacophony of shouts outside.

Mingyue was worried that the fire was too big, so she put on her cloak and went out to have a look.

Worry-free stay in the room and take care of her daughter.

The movement outside made the child sleep uncomfortably, and he started crying after a while.

Before she was brought over, the nurse had just breastfed her, so she had to pick her up and walk around, coaxing her softly.

Suddenly, the door of the house outside was opened with a bang.

This abrupt sound made Wu Wu tense his nerves all of a sudden.

She hugged her daughter and slowly walked to the front of the curtain, where a figure was faintly visible.

"Mingyue?"

She was very unsure in her heart, because Mingyue would never be so reckless in doing things.

The figure grew taller and taller as it drew nearer.

Wu Wu subconsciously took a few steps back and asked again, "Who are you?" ”

Just as she was about to open her mouth to call out, the curtain was lifted at once, and a strange and ugly face appeared in front of him.

"You ......" Carefree almost exclaimed, but he was afraid of startling the daughter in his arms.

Carefree didn't know what he was going to do, his left eye was wearing an eyepatch, his right eye was exposed, and his eyes were staring straight at the swaddling clothes in her arms, and his eyes were a little scary.

Wu Wu felt a pang in his heart, for fear that he would hurt his child, so he hurriedly turned sideways, protected the swaddling clothes in his arms, and said in a cold tone: "Who are you?" Dare to trespass on the General's Mansion! ”

The man snorted softly when he heard this, as if sneering.

Carefree met his gaze, and suddenly noticed that his eyes were different.

His eyes...... Why does it look so familiar?

Seeing that the man stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the swaddling clothes in her arms, Wuwu finally couldn't help but exclaim: "Don't touch my child!" ”

Her voice accidentally woke up her daughter, who had just fallen asleep, and provoked her to cry again.

Hearing the child crying, the person opposite immediately withdrew his hand, breathing slightly, as if he had something to say.

Seeing that his gaze was slightly relaxed, he raised his foot and was about to run back, but he grabbed his arm and pulled it back vigorously.

"Where else do you want to go?"

The man finally spoke, but his voice was stunned.

His voice ...... It's him!

The two looked at each other again, and Sanssouci recognized him clearly.

Tu Du let go of her, and then ripped off the blindfold and disguise from his face with his hands.

With a gloomy face, he raised his head to look at her: "Give me the child!" ”

He spat out the words coldly, he was here tonight for the sake of the child, not her.

Wuwu never thought that he would be able to see him again, and he was still in the capital, or in the Chu family.

"Great Khan...... she said in a trembling voice, and then subconsciously covered her mouth again.

These two words are a big taboo at this time.

She walked to the door in a bit of a panic, and saw that the courtyard was empty and there was no one, so she calmed down.

Tu Du saw her close the door and returned to him with tears in her eyes, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, as if she was smiling.

She was actually laughing, she was still daring to laugh in front of him!

"Give me the baby!" Tu Du repeated it again, and when he saw her raise her hand, as if she wanted to touch herself, she immediately brushed it away.

Wuwu couldn't help but be stunned, seeing him staring at him with burning eyes, he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Great Khan, how did you get in?"

As far as she knew, there were guards inside and outside the Chu family, and no one could get in or out.

Tu Du glanced at her, stretched out his hand to grab the child, but he couldn't avoid it, seeing that he directly picked up the swaddling clothes with his hands, he was afraid that he would hurt his daughter, so he hurriedly shouted: "You slow down." ”

Tu Du grabbed the swaddling clothes with his hands, looked down, and finally saw the appearance of his daughter.

Such a small person, with pink skin, wrinkled facial features, and let out a faint cry.

He had never seen a newborn baby, but the moment he saw her, he was so sure that he had no doubt that this was his child.

Wuwu watched him staring at the child in a daze, and couldn't help but feel sour, and said with a crying voice: "This child's birthday is the third day of the first month of November, and I haven't named her yet, and the milk name is only "baby" ......."

Hearing this, Tu Du's frowning thick eyebrows stretched slightly, and he wrapped one arm around the swaddling clothes, followed by stretching out his rough fingers and touching the child's forehead.

Her skin was soft as water, and he was afraid of hurting her. Who knows, the child who couldn't stop crying in the last second gradually stopped crying, her eyes were like a crescent moon, her small mouth was slightly open, and she looked at Tu Du fixedly, looking at this person who was very strange to her.

Her eyes seem to have magical power, deep and bottomless, as if she can look all the way into people's hearts.
