Outside the city, there was wolf smoke, but inside the palace, it was surprisingly quiet, when Ning Hong received the report, he only said that Ning Yi led people to break into the imperial city in an attempt to force the palace, and was stopped by the little prince and Qin Taiwei under the city gate.

Ning Hong immediately said angrily: "He is really so bold, come here, take my holy decree, go to the patrol battalion to transfer troops, and he will definitely bring the rebellious ministers and thieves to justice——"

The chamberlain hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty-the slave can go to transfer troops, but--but who in the city can lead the troops now-"

Ning Hong waved the fold on the bookcase to the ground, and said angrily: "What about the civil and military officials in the court!" When I'm fine, I make noise in front of me all day long, why is it that all of them are useless now? ”

The waiter's expression became more and more ugly, and he reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that because of the marriage between the little prince and the county lord, you have grounded some generals who speak for the little prince before——"

Ning Hong looked a little annoyed and said: "Didn't I also want to vent my anger for the county lord, these people also followed their father and Prince Lao Kang to quell the war back then, and they must have protected Prince Lao Kang's only son, but the county lord is also the pearl of the queen mother's palm, can I let her be slighted?" ”

Where did the chamberlain dare to question Ning Hong's decision-making, he just said with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty naturally has Your Majesty's considerations, but - now- who should we look for?" ”

Just when the two of them were at a loss, a woman's voice came in and said, "The concubine is willing to go-"

Ning Hong looked outside, only to see that the Qin family was brought in by the palace people, she took off the wide hat and untied the cloak, and the people in the hall saw clearly that the Qin family was not dressed as a daughter, but with long hair and high ties, and the clothes on her body were also dressed in a riding dress with wide shoulders and narrow waist, and a pair of ink-colored boots under her feet.

She took out something from her waist and presented it with both hands, Ning Hong looked at it, and understood, he nodded and said: "The old prince once followed the first emperor, and he was meritorious from Rong, although he was later disarmed and returned to the field, but the prestige of the old days is still there, with his token, plus my secret order, and the identity of Mrs. Qin, there must be no problem." ”

Qin knelt on the ground respectfully, and said loudly: "Father once said that Xiliang women can also go to the battlefield, but the concubine is the only daughter in the family, and the father is soft-hearted, but now the situation is critical, and the concubine is willing to transfer troops on behalf of His Majesty to eradicate the traitors——"

Ning Hong glanced at the Qin family fixedly, and suddenly asked, "Mrs. Qin, are you—have you thought about it?" ”

Qin's body shook suddenly, and his teeth bit his lower lip tightly, almost bleeding: "Concubine body-concubine's body and mind have been decided-"

Ning Hong suddenly praised and said: "Okay, it is worthy of my Xiliang daughter's family, bold and strong, come here, hand over my token to Mrs. Qin——"

When the Qin family walked out of the prince, the night had already entered the deepest depths, and the surrounding darkness was almost like thick ink that could not be dissolved, she clenched the things in her hand, clamped her legs between the horse's belly, and with a clear sound, she took a few government soldiers and went in the direction of the patrol camp.

On the other side, bad news suddenly came from the county lord's palace, it turned out that the county lord heard the news of the regent Ning Yi's rebellion, and he was so angry that he fainted.

Ning Hong immediately summoned the imperial doctors to go for diagnosis and treatment, but no one had a way to deal with it, and the news soon spread to Yikun Palace, Zike saw that the old princess was sitting in front of the tablet of Prince Lao Kang, half-closed her eyes, and twisted the Buddha beads in her hands one by one, so she considered and said: "Old princess, look at the current situation, do we still have to wait?" ”

The old princess slowly opened her eyes, chuckled and said, "God help me-Zike, pass the order down, surround the county lord, and no one is allowed to let go, including the little emperor-"

Zike's feet trembled, she forcibly stabilized her mind and said, "Could it be?" Wouldn't it be too impatient? ”

The old princess glanced at her obliquely and said, "Impatient? Zike, don't you know what you've done since the first day you did things for me? Rebellion, why are you afraid? ”

Zike hurriedly knelt down and said in a deep voice: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, it's just that we have so many people in the palace, if we go to the county lord, then there will be no one to guard the Yikun Palace, isn't it—isn't it—"

At this time, Zhu'er, who was standing in the corner, suddenly spoke: "Aunt Zike, what's wrong with you?" The one in the dormitory is like that, are you still worried about what she can do? Old princess, Aunt Zike, if the master of Yikun Palace is at ease, it will be handed over to the slave maid——"

Zhu'er knelt on the ground sincerely, the old princess nodded with satisfaction, and then stretched out her hand, Zi Ke supported her in a timely manner, she said: "Let's go, I still want to see that Jiang Lian'er, I can't die of illness, after all, if you want to inherit the imperial power logically, you need the identity of the county master." ”

Zike saw that the old princess had made up her mind, so she could only help her out, Zhu'er stood in front of the dormitory, looking at the originally heavily guarded Yikun Palace, and only a few guards were left who were transferred, then turned around and went in, and only went out after a while: "A few of you, there are several side doors in Yikun Palace, in order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation there, you go over and have a look." ”

Zhu'er and Zike have always been trusted by the old princess's side, and others naturally dare not listen to her words.

On the other side, the old princess took people to the palace of the county lord, and the entire palace was like a surging chess game, with treacherous waves, as if one was careless and could not recover.

But there was a chess piece that was overlooked, and that person was He Xi who was still in Hanyue Tower.

At this time, Jiang Anzheng knelt in front of He Xi with a worried face, but He Xi said very calmly: "I know that you are the Empress Dowager of the West, you must have a way to avoid the eyeliner in the palace and let me go to Yikun Palace, right?" ”

As soon as Jiang An wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, he heard He Xi say lightly: "You have wanted to go to Yikun Palace several times, but if my guess is right, you must not have seen the Empress Dowager Xi, the entire Yikun Palace is protected by iron walls, the news outside can't get in, the news inside can't come out, haven't you suspected anything?" Jiang An, you can hide so well under Ning Yi's nose, I don't think it's a useless person, okay, I'll make it clear at once now, this is the last opportunity to rescue the Empress Dowager Xi, the people behind the scenes can't hide anymore, if you can't rescue the Empress Dowager Xi today, don't say it's the Empress Dowager Xi, that is, Your Majesty may not be able to save her life, you can think clearly. ”

Jiang An was still struggling, things were indeed as He Xi said, almost seven days or so after He Xi entered the palace, he never received the next step instructions from the Empress Dowager Xi, until he waited patiently for a long time, but he felt more and more that something was wrong, the guards in many places of Yikun Palace had changed hands, and Ning Yi's news was also handed in day after day, and he hid it, it turned out that He Xi knew all this.

Jiang An's face suddenly fell, and he said as if he had lost the strength to support him: "Bypass the Hundred Gardens, there is a hidden path that can enter the Yikun Palace." ”

The corners of He Xi's lips hooked slightly, and just as he wanted to get up, Ruyi suddenly stopped and said: "Miss, now that there are chaos in this palace, you still have a big belly, you see-is it just a slave to do it?" ”

He Xi said firmly: "Only I can do this, don't worry, Ruyi, I will be careful." ”

When Jiang An took He Xi out of Hanyue Tower, he saw a person standing in front of Hanyue Tower, in the night, only a steel knife on his waist flashed with cold light, Jiang An was so frightened that his legs were weak, but Ruyi was protected in front of He Xi, but He Xi, I only felt that the person in front of me was very familiar, and I only felt that I had seen it somewhere.

The short service on his body was unusual, and when he came out of the shadows, Jiang An said meaningfully: "Guard Lu, why are you here?" ”

He Xi said in surprise at the same time: "Lu-Lu Ran? ”

Lu Ran was originally ordered by Mrs. Qin to come to protect the young lady in Hanyue Tower, but he didn't want that person to call out his name, He Xi turned against the light, Lu Ran couldn't see her appearance clearly, but he only felt that this voice was so familiar, and remembered Qin's words, this person is from the Great Calendar, could it be-

He subconsciously took a step forward, and when he saw He Xi's face clearly, his face was full of surprise and stunned that he couldn't hide.

At the same time, he also saw a stunned emotion in He Xi's eyes, but what surprised him even more was that He Xi seemed to be seven or eight months pregnant.

If he remembers correctly, the Qin clan once mentioned that He Xi was brought back not long after the regent, so this kid-

Obviously, there are a lot of doubts between him and He Xi, but now is not the time.

He Xi immediately said: "I am going out of the palace today, and everything is up to you." ”

Lu Ran immediately said, "Yes, little master." ”

Jiang An was a little strange, the little lord was not Xiliang's title, could it be - but now was not the time for him to get to the bottom of it, and the group quietly detoured through the back door of Yikun Palace from the path, but saw guards wandering left and right.

He Xi frowned, but in an instant, she calmed down and said decisively: "Go to the main gate." ”

Jiang An was already dead, from the time he came just now, he already knew what Ning Yu and the old princess had done, His Majesty and the county lord are now under house arrest in the county lord's palace, and the Yikun Palace is also heavily guarded, if you go to the main gate at this time, it will be tantamount to death.

He wanted to dissuade him, but Lu Ran seemed to be very obedient to He Xi's orders, and went to explore the way first.

Soon, news came back that the main gate was unguarded.

Jiang An almost screamed, he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and whispered: "How is it possible, there are even people watching the back door, how can there be no one at the front door?" Could it be - is it an empty city plan? ”

He Xi had a faint smile in her eyebrows, and she said: "Whether it's an empty city plan or a Hongmen banquet, it seems that today is all going to go." ”

Several people entered Yikun Palace in this way.

Yikun Palace was terrifying, only some submissive palace people hid aside, even if they saw strangers, they didn't dare to come out.

He Xi and the others went all the way to the Yikun Palace, glanced at Jiang An, and Jiang An took them to the Queen Mother's dormitory.

He Xi just entered the Yikun Palace, and heard a somewhat old female voice say: "It seems that the mourning family still underestimates you." ”
