As the organizer of this event, Hua Xi'er really didn't know what to say in the face of the chaotic situation in front of her.

Originally, everything went smoothly, and she also left a good impression in front of many officials' families, and she may be able to find someone to help if something happens in the future. But suddenly, a group of eunuchs with knives rushed in, and drove the officials' families to the side hall. She hurriedly sent someone to inform Zhao Huan, but Zhao Huan asked her to cooperate?

Hua Xi'er thought for a long time before she realized that these eunuchs were not thugs, but people sent by Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan probably wanted to use the families of these officials to threaten the officials with something.

Hua Xi'er didn't expect that she would be drawn into such a fight. If, she said that if Zhao Huan failed, wouldn't she be able to escape?

There was a cry in the hall, and the women huddled together, cowering at the group of eunuchs with knives. The appearance of this group of eunuchs is very different from that of ordinary eunuchs, ordinary eunuchs do not have beards, but these people have stubble on their chins, and their facial contours are relatively stiff, and they are fierce and vicious.

Hua Xi'er took a closer look and found that one of them had a very familiar face, so she was shocked, and walked up to the person in three or two steps and asked, "You are from my palace, right?" ”

The man gave her a cold look and did not speak.

Hua Xi'er pulled her personal palace maid over, "Look, you see, he is in my palace, right?" ”

Lu Wu was in charge of the dispatch of the eunuchs and maidservants of the first palace, so she naturally recognized it, she nodded her head and pulled Hua Xi'er aside: "Master, don't ask more, otherwise you will get into trouble." ”

Hua Xi'er stomped her feet anxiously: "How can I not ask?" I am here to hold this banquet, and if the lives of these ladies are in danger, do you think I can still live? ”

At that moment, the door of the temple was opened, and a man in a brocade robe entered. The man looked to be about thirty-five years old, with a fair complexion and a thin face, and his dark eyes looked around the hall coldly.

Hua Xi'er held her breath the moment she saw him.

Is this Zhao Huan? No, it's not, but he looks too similar to Zhao Huan......

Hua Xi'er was shocked, and at this time, an official's family recognized him and exclaimed: "First Emperor! ”

Like thunder exploding in their ears, everyone present turned their heads and looked at the comer.

Only a few of them have seen Zhao Yan, and they looked at it for a while to confirm: "It's indeed ......"

How so?

Wasn't the first emperor supposed to die a long time ago? Even if you weren't dead, you shouldn't be in this palace.

The palace gate is guarded by the people of King Yu, and there are strict inspections in and out, and it is impossible to fish in troubled waters.

Isn't it the first emperor?

As soon as Zhao Yan came in, he ordered: "Tie their hands and feet with ropes." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, all the officials' families were tied hand and foot, and only Hua Xi'er remained. Hua Xi'er looked at Zhao Yan tremblingly, and fell to the ground.

"Who is she?" Zhao Yan asked sideways.

"Hua Xi'er, one of Your Majesty's concubines."

It turned out to be someone from the Shen family.

Zhao Yan looked at her a few times, and then gave his hand a look. The subordinates understood, and walked towards Hua Xi'er with a knife.

A swing of the knife.

Zhao Zhen took Zhao Yuanhong to meet Jiang Qibai. Jiang Qibai briefly told him about the situation in the palace.

The little emperor said in the middle of the banquet that he was going to change his clothes, but he still doesn't know where he is. The family members of the officials were all kidnapped by the eunuchs armed with knives and locked up in the side hall of the Fuyun Palace.

As for the identity of the eunuch and the whereabouts of Zhao Huan, it is still unknown.

Zhao Yuanhong analyzed: "Your Majesty's disappearance at this time is to prevent someone from taking him hostage, but he will definitely send someone to negotiate with Daddy, if Daddy agrees to his conditions, the officials' families should not have to worry about their lives, but if Daddy doesn't agree, Your Majesty is afraid that those family members will be slaughtered." In this way, the officials will work together to force the father to agree and protect their wives and children. ”

I have to say that such a method is really inferior.

Jiang Qibai sighed: "So we shouldn't act rashly for the time being, and wait for the messenger to arrive." ”

You have to figure out the enemy's purpose first.

In less than a cup of tea, they waited for the person they were waiting for.

Someone broke into the north town and shot an arrow, and the arrow was tied to the letter. The man fled after completing his mission, and his movements were very neat.

The subordinate sent the letter in, and the three of them opened it and read it, only a few simple words

- "Within three days, hand over the head of King Yu Xiang." ”

The faces of the three of them gradually became solemn.

Zhao Huan came for Zhao Zhen's life.

Jiang Qibai angrily tore the letter apart, "Whatever!" Let's lead the troops to break in, how many can we save! ”

Zhao Zhen was silent, and even Zhao Yuanhong didn't speak.

"You don't really want to fulfill his wish, do you?" Jiang Qibai was incredulous.

Zhao Yuanhong sighed: "Things are not that simple. Now that we are leading troops to break in, none of the families of those officials will survive. At that time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will resent their father, and everyone will be enemies of their father. ”

Jiang Qibai was extremely irritable: "Then what do you say!" ”

"I didn't expect that yet." Zhao Yuanhong said frankly.

The two of you come and go, Zhao Zhen just listened, and only said to Jiang Qibai after a while: "You monitor the situation in the palace, investigate Zhao Huan's whereabouts, and you must catch Zhao Huan." ”

Jiang Qibai nodded: "Of course I won't let that kid go." ”

"At least for three days, the families of officials will not have to worry about their lives, and we should not act rashly when we do not have a complete grasp of the opponent's situation." Zhao Zhen asked again: "How are the officials?" ”

"Zhao Huan didn't do anything to the officials, some of them have already come here." Jiang Qibai glanced at Zhao Zhen: "Do you want them to know about the letter?" ”

Zhao Zhen faintly: "Do you think they won't know?" ”

Since Zhao Huan wants to use officials to put pressure on him, he will inevitably tell the officials how to save his wife and children.

Zhao Zhen didn't want to meet those people. When they met at this time, they were nothing more than begging him to sacrifice himself to save their wives and children with snot and tears.

"I'll go back first." Zhao Zhen said.

"Okay." Jiang Qibai went out with him.

They didn't go far before the two heard another shocking news.

There is news in the palace that the first emperor Zhao Yan suddenly appeared in the Fuyun Palace.

Zhao Zhen and Jiang Qibai's faces turned pale.

This person, they couldn't find it all over the country, how could he appear in the palace?

Impossible.

"Is there a mistake?" Jiang Qibai asked his subordinates.

The subordinate replied, "Our people have seen it, that person is indeed the first emperor, and he will never be mistaken." ”

"And where did he come from?"

"This ...... The subordinates didn't pay attention. ”

Jiang Qibai ordered: "Transfer the records of entering and leaving the palace gate for half a month, and check them carefully one by one!" I want to see who helped this thief enter the palace!" ”

"It's useless." Zhao Yuanhong said calmly: "If it was really infiltrated into the palace, it was not found out at the beginning, and now it is even more a needle in a haystack." Instead of wasting manpower doing useless work, it is better to do something more practical. ”

Jiang Qibai sneered: "Oh? More practical? What is more practical, you tell me? ”

Zhao Yuanhong thought for a while, and his tone was not shocked: "In my opinion, it is more reliable to check from the inner court." It is very unlikely that the first emperor sneaked into the palace from outside the palace, because the inspection was very strict. Every time I entered the palace in a carriage, I had to get off the carriage and have people inspect it, not only in the carriage, but also to check whether the carriage had a mechanism. It was so tight that it was almost impossible to bring a large living person into the palace. ”

"Well, I think there's another possibility. The first emperor himself was hidden in the palace. ”

Zhao Yuanhong's words woke up the two of them at once.

"Over the years, we should have taken it for granted that the first emperor was on the run, but for fourteen years, we haven't even found a single trace. But we never conducted a search inside the palace. Zhao Yuanhong continued.

Zhao Zhen affirmed his son: "What you said makes sense. Qibai, you should take a good look into this matter. ”

"Yes." Jiang Qibai couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yuanhong twice.

He'd always heard that this kid was smart, and today was the first time he'd seen it.

It lives up to its name.

When the hundred officials rushed to the Fusi of Beizhen, they learned that the king of Yu had returned to the palace, so they turned around and went to the palace. Nearly 100 people gathered in front of the palace and knocked on the door to see the prince.

It attracted hundreds of people to watch, curious about what happened.

Yixuan boiled a bowl of soothing soup for the man. After returning from Beizhen Fusi, his whole mood was not quite right, and he didn't answer when he asked him why, Yixuan still heard about the general situation of the matter from Yuan Hong.

used Zhao Zhen's life to exchange the lives of the families of hundreds of officials, and Zhao Huan thought of it.

However, it may not be a trick that Zhao Huan came up with, it is so vicious, it is more like Zhao Yan's handiwork.

Zhao Yan suddenly ran out, which was completely unexpected by Yi Xuan, she had gradually forgotten about this man, good and bad, almost forgotten.

She found that Zhao Yan always had a way to come out and intervene when her life was good and disrupt her peaceful life.

Zhao Zhen was looking at the map of the palace, imagining Zhao Huan's escape route and where he would hide now. Yi Xuan pulled the map out of his hand, gently touched the man's face, and said, "Drink some soup, then go to sleep, don't think too much." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at her for a while and asked, "Are they still at the door?" ”

Yi Xuan lowered her eyes, picked up the spoon with her fingers, scooped a spoonful and fed it to Zhao Zhen's mouth, coaxing him to drink it.

Zhao Zhen opened his mouth obediently.

"It's still there. I'll talk to them later, don't worry. As she spoke, Yixuan fed another spoonful.

Zhao Zhen smiled, his eyes were gloomy and a little strange: "How many of them did you say wanted me to die?" ”

Yixuan frowned and glared at the man seriously: "You are not allowed to think like this." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and touched her handful, "Don't worry, I want to guard you, how can I be willing to die?" ”

Yi Xuan couldn't hear him say the word death now, and her eyes turned red, "Bah, don't say this kind of thing." They haven't put a knife to your neck yet, what are you afraid of? ”

Zhao Zhen lowered his eyes and his voice was hoarse: "I'm afraid I'm guilty." ”

Yi Xuan's heart was sour.

She hugged the man and gently touched his lips, looking aggrieved and stubborn: "So what? ”
