How dare the people around the jade concubine be so bold and close the door while the fire broke out in the inner hall of Taiji Palace? Thinking of the secret guards who were killed and injured for most of the casualties, Meng Hui believed that the person who was following her today was very likely to be the dead soldier cultivated by Sun Zhao.

Everyone in the palace thought that the jade concubine hated the three princes and the dead concubine because she was suspected of murder, and even the emperor and the queen didn't expect that she would actually take refuge in Sun Zhao.

The jade concubine obviously has a son by her side, even if the mother family is powerless, but the seventh prince Bingxue is smart, very favored by the emperor, and there are a number of teachers and staff around her who are willing to support, no matter how you look at it, she is qualified to compete.

Who would have thought that she would let her son give up the throne? Even Meng Hui, an alien soul, thought that she would take this opportunity to bring down Sun Zhao and continue to fight with the eldest prince.

"The third prince didn't show up? Why is there no one outside the palace to save the driver? As soon as Meng Hui mentioned the culprit Sun Zhao, he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched.

The guard replied, "There is no news from the Third Prince for the time being. The palace gate was blocked from the inside, and people from outside could not enter. I'll send you to a safe place, and I'll go to the Hokubu Gate to see if I can let reinforcements in. ”

The Hokubu Gate is the most remote and smallest gate of the Imperial Palace, even if there are people guarding it, there will not be many people, and if you want to receive reinforcements, it is the best and only choice.

The guards brought the two to a junction, and if they wanted to get to the cold palace, they needed to go straight through this wide crossroads. "The county lord will wait behind this gate, and I'll go out first to see the situation."

The guard took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, his expression extremely solemn. He cautiously slipped out of the small door and walked forward against the palace wall, first cautiously looking to the right, and then poking his head out to look to the left.

Meng Hui saw that his body was obviously loose, and the front should be safe.

"County Lord, let's go." The guard turned around and beckoned to her, and before Meng Hui could step out of the small door, a sharp arrow suddenly shot from the opposite side, and with a bang, it sank into the guard's chest from behind.

Rosewood whimpered, Agarwood covered her mouth tightly and didn't dare to make a sound, Meng Hui dragged them back to the door like a puppet, and her head was also buzzing.

She didn't know how she had bolted the door shut, and grabbed the two maids and ran back as fast as she could. The young faces of the guards kept coming to her mind, the confusion and fear of being shot by the arrow, the worry in their eyes when they looked at them, and the blood that kept pouring out of their mouths......

The three of them shuttled outside the palace walls, and soon got into the apse of a palace that had been rummaged through. Meng Hui let go of the agarwood and red sandalwood, and pinched his hands fiercely, letting the pain dispel the guard's face.

"You can't go to the cold palace, there must be an ambush there." Meng Hui looked at the ground blankly, and had a new layer of understanding of Sun Zhao. "His plan is really rigorous, and all the details are so thoughtful, not only counting the hearts of the emperor and the queen, but also the hearts of everyone in the palace."

Those who tried to resist Sun Zhao, like the guards who had just died, would think of fleeing in the direction of the cold palace, because it was relatively safest.

Sun Zhao would think from the standpoint of these people, in order not to leave hidden dangers, he must have sent someone to guard the cold palace after thinking about it.

"So now, the whole palace is not safe." Meng Hui was soaked with sweat, and the arrival of night did not take away the heat, but added more danger.

Agarwood turned pale and proposed, "Why don't we just wait here?" It's been rummaged through once, and no one will come again. ”

"People rummaging through here won't come again, and there won't be anyone else. From the outside, it is impossible to tell whether the palace has been looted, and even if it can be seen, maybe there will be people who will walk around with the intention of picking up leaks. Meng Hui finally stopped panting, but his heartbeat was still fast.

She inexplicably remembered the recruitment notice she saw in the sun, and the so-called need to deal with emergencies alone, did she mean such a situation? Meng Hui's heart is congested, the novice village tasks have all encountered rebellion, won't the future tasks of scattered immortals and immortals fall apart?

"Then what should I do, county lord? I don't want to die, I don't want the county lord and Agarwood to die-" Zi Sandalwood had always tensed her nerves, but now that she was a little safer, she was relieved and couldn't stop crying.

Agarwood didn't even have the heart to blame her for speaking unlucky, sighed, and took her hand to show comfort.

Meng Hui felt that he couldn't go on like this, and no matter where he hid now, it was almost as dangerous as running outside. Since it's possible to hang up, just give it a go. "Let's go to the North Martial Gate!"

There is such an unexpected thing as a jade concubine, the emperor and the queen can protect themselves at most, Taiji Palace and Fengyi Palace are no longer safer than they just thought, Meng Hui never thought of approaching these two palaces.

They are powerless, and it is impossible for them to go outside to fight; There may be thieves in each palace at any time, and blindly hiding will only consume physical strength in vain, and when you really encounter danger, you don't even have the strength to escape.

"Instead of wasting time and effort, it's better to take the initiative and see if you can pick up reinforcements. There is no wall on the Hokubu Gate, there are no archers to guard the high places, and there must be imperial guards to attack from the inside, so we must open the gate while the two sides are fighting. ”

Agarwood and Rosewood nodded without hesitation, either passively waiting for death, or surviving in danger, and it was clear which path to choose.

"Someone's coming, let's go!" Meng Hui heard messy footsteps outside the main gate, she lowered her voice and pulled the two of them, and quickly went around the back door.

"Ahem...... Cough...... I don't treat the old seven well, why don't you ......"

The inner hall of Taiji Palace is full of corpses. The emperor sat paralyzed on the ground, without the authority of the Son of Heaven. He kept coughing up blood against the cylinder, his vision was blurred for a long time, he couldn't even open his eyes, and every breath was tormented.

Maintain the habit of clarity all year round, so that he will not lose consciousness at this moment, but unfortunately his body can't keep up with his brainpower, and he will soon admit defeat.

Yu Concubine closed her eyes, held a teapot in her hand, and kept pouring water on the thick cotton cloth to cover her mouth and nose.

Her situation is also not good, and the fighting outside is not over, which means that the royalists are still stubbornly resisting. She didn't dare to go out easily, the sword had no eyes, if she broke out indiscriminately, she would only die, hiding in the inner temple and being burned by smoke and fire, she would always wait for life.

Hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Yu laughed sharply and harshly, and her hoarse voice was full of sarcasm. "The emperor keeps saying that he treats him well, but what is the result? The emperor has already made up his mind to make the eldest prince the crown prince! So what is my son? A shield to block his sword?! ”

The emperor didn't speak, and in the thick smoke, the jade concubine couldn't tell whether he was unconscious or speechless. She thought coldly that instead of watching her son being sent to a remote fiefdom, it would be better to make a contribution to the dragon and be rich and glorious!
