Chapter 051: Asking for help
The three of them silently stopped what they were doing and looked at the cat next to them, which was bigger than a slap.
"Let's dig first, what if we can get there?" Qin Ranran didn't want to give up this glimmer of hope, and his subordinates began to move again.
After digging a hole the size of a dog hole, Lu Yi's hand continued to grope around the edge of the dog hole.
"This seems to be covered by a stone slab, Lu Jiu, help me."
The three people in the tunnel were busy in full swing, but General Weiyuan's mansion was like a frying pot, and the corners of Mrs. Qi's mouth immediately bubbled.
"Go and inform the general of this, let the general attack the face saint, hurry, hurry!"
"You go to the Cheng'en Mansion immediately, and ask the Duchess of Cheng'en to wait for me at the palace gate with the sign given by the queen mother that you can enter the palace at any time."
After Mrs. Qi finished instructing the person who reported the news, she quickly changed her clothes and hurried out.
When I walked to the outer courtyard, I saw my husband, who had already changed his clothes and was about to go out. The two looked at each other, nodded, and set off to move the rescuers.
General Weiyuan's Mansion was a moment farther away from the palace than the Cheng'en Mansion, and by the time Mrs. Qi arrived at the palace gate, Mrs. Song was already waiting there.
"What's the matter so in such a hurry, you still have to bring a sign, can't you deliver the post?" As soon as Mrs. Song saw Mrs. Qi get out of the carriage, she walked over and asked.
Mrs. Qi's expression was extremely serious: "Something happened, let's go to the palace." ”
Mrs. Song and Mrs. Qi have been friends for a long time, and knowing that she is not a targeted person, she didn't ask any more, showed her token, and the two walked towards the Changchun Palace where the queen was located.
When she arrived at Changchun Palace, the queen was drinking the tonic medicine prescribed by Qin Ranran for her, she gently stroked her lower abdomen with both hands, and had a gentle and warm smile on her face.
"Niangniang, Duchess Chengen used the token you gave and entered the palace with Mrs. Qi." Bang Qiu's pace was a little faster than usual, and he walked into the inner room.
The queen's brows furrowed slightly, and she stretched out her hand and said, "Go and see." ”
Bang Qiu carefully held the queen's arm and walked to the main hall together.
"Mother." When Mrs. Qi saw the queen appear, she directly stepped forward a few times and knelt down to bow, "The concubine begs the mother to take the concubine to find Your Majesty, General Pingxi's mansion is in trouble." ”
The queen only felt that her heart was beating violently, and Mrs. Qi regretted that she was quick to talk when she saw this, so she had to add the last sentence, but if she didn't pass through the queen, she wouldn't be able to see Your Majesty directly, and her husband had to wait for the inner servant to report when he entered the palace, and His Majesty agreed, which was too much delay.
"Bang Qiu, prepare three sedan chairs, and go to the study." When Emperor Deqing ascended the throne earlier, the queen was also a person who experienced strong winds and waves, and after a few breaths, she calmed down her emotions and gave orders.
"Your Majesty, the change of guard in the palace has been arranged, this is the duty table and drawings, please take a look at it." Lu Chengan took a large drawing and a thin pile of paper and handed it to the bangs on the side of Emperor Deqing.
Bangs hung his head and handed it over respectfully.
Emperor Deqing looked at Liu Hai's actions with satisfaction, took the drawings in his hand, and looked at them carefully.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Qiancheng of the Yuwei Camp asks to see you." The voice of the chamberlain sounded respectfully outside the door.
Emperor Deqing didn't look up, but only said lightly: "Xuan." ”
Lu Chengan immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will retire first." ”
"It's okay, you can stay and listen." Emperor Deqing didn't let him withdraw, "Bangs, you are guarding the door, no one is allowed to approach, I can only trust you now." ”
Liu Hai's eyes were filled with tears of excitement: "The slave must protect His Majesty even if he dies." ”
"Where is the saying of ten thousand deaths," Emperor Deqing looked at Liu Hai with a smile, "Besides, if you die, there will be no one like you around me." ”
Bangs quietly touched a handful of tears and withdrew.
"Zhang Qing, what's the matter?" Emperor Deqing's expression was serious when he saw Zhang Qiancheng.
"Your Majesty, they moved, the family of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan has already gone out, and after a few turns, they have avoided our people, and they have not found out where they have gone for the time being."
For some reason, after hearing this, Lu Chengan felt a little uneasy.
"The deputy overseer in the five military camps has been very close to Zhennan Hou recently, last night, the deputy overseer was on vacation, and Zhennan Hou left the deputy overseer to drink all night, and the two talked very happily, and finally went into the study together to talk secretly."
"Today, my subordinates reported that the 8,000 people of the Fifth Army Battalion are ready to attack at any time."
Emperor Deqing looked at the paperweight on the desk silently, and only after a moment did he ask, "Have you found out who is behind the Marquis of Zhennan?" ”
Zhang Qiancheng respectfully lowered his hand: "Fushou Palace." There should be one more person among them, but since General Lu adjusted the change of defense in the palace, this person has not appeared, and he is an extremely cautious person. ”
Emperor Deqing sneered: "Extremely careful? Who else can have this kind of thought, except for the fifth and seventh? ”
"Zhang Qing, how is the Yuwei battalion prepared?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Yuwei Battalion is ready, and once someone attacks, it will be punished!"
"My net worth and life will be handed over to the two Aiqing."
"The minister will not dishonor!" Both of them knelt on the ground at the same time.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Mother took the Duchess of Cheng'en and the wife of General Weiyuan and said that there are 100,000 urgent matters for Your Majesty to decide. General Weiyuan also entered the palace and said that he had something extremely important to tell His Majesty. The sound of bangs sounded outside the door.
Emperor Deqing replied lightly: "The queen is not the kind of person who doesn't know the severity, come in." ”
The door of the study opened, the queen's face was calm, and the Duchess Chengen and General Weiyuan followed behind the queen with their heads bowed.
"Father-in-law Liu, don't let people come over and disturb our deliberations." The queen's gentle voice sounded, and the bangs retreated.
"Your Majesty, someone broke into General Pingxi's mansion, and the people in the mansion sent blood-stained handkerchiefs for help." The queen blessed her body and motioned to General Weiyuan's wife to present the veil.
When Lu Chengan heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he grabbed Zhang Qiancheng beside him.
"Lu Qing, you take five hundred guards, go back to the house and have a look." Emperor Deqing didn't ask much, and waved his hand directly to let Lu Chengan return home.
Lu Chengan bowed down, hurriedly arched his hand towards the queen and the others, and walked out quickly.
"Ah Sheng, you go behind the screen to rest for a while, and I will say a few words to Zhang Qing and Qi Qing."
The three queens bowed and retreated, and Duchess Chengen hurriedly took out the pill from the queen's sleeve and served the queen.

"Where the hell has Mr. Ma gone?" The fierce tall man walked around the courtyard a few times and said restlessly.
"Big brother, don't worry about it, forget about the fire, anyway, the tunnel has been blocked by us, and they can't escape if they want to." A shorter man following behind him said viciously.
"Set fire, lest we won't be able to walk on our own for a while!"
