The twilight was dark, and a bent eyebrow moon hung alone on the canopy, cold and poignant. The dark gates of the city slowly closed, blocking out all the noise.

"Slow down, don't close yet, someone is going into the city" shouted loudly, breaking the silence of the night.

"Who is making a lot of noise here?" The leader of the guards guarding the city gate looked at the large group of people, his hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, the knife was already half unsheathed, and seemed to be ready to draw his sword against the group of people outside the city gate in the next moment.

"The squire of the Criminal Department has been ordered to go out of Beijing to investigate the case, and today I will escort Princess Yizhen, Lord Jingxian and Princess Zhidu back to Beijing, please let them go."

The leader immediately breathed a sigh of relief, put away the knife, and walked closer with a torch to take a look, sure enough, it was a good situation, and then looked at the carriage behind him, but the people in the team were wearing the guard uniforms of the three mansions, and they were thinking about raising their hands to open the door and release people, but the city gate guard behind him shouted: "My lord, the incident happened suddenly, the lower official was ordered by the superior, and today the Tiandu Gate should strengthen its vigilance, and no people should be released into and out of the Tiandu at will." Those who want to enter and exit the city gate must be strictly checked, so please forgive me and all the nobles, and the lower officials will send their subordinates to inspect and inspect, I don't know if it is possible? ”

The situation is in a difficult situation, if this is checked by someone else, it will be checked, but the royal family in this convoy is either the royal family or the royal family members of the territory, in case a few people in the car are unhappy, the last unlucky person will obviously be himself, and he hurriedly said: "I just said that in the car are Princess Yizhen, the county lord of Jingxian and the princess of Zhidu, and here are the tokens of each prefecture as proof." Besides, how can you be deceived by such a big thing, and you won't let you go quickly."

Guo Rong took the token to the city gate guard, but after the guard saw it, he still shook his head, "It's not that the lower officials won't let him go, it's just that the order is difficult to disobey, no matter who has to check."

A female voice came from the carriage behind him: "If you want to check the nonsense, check it, hurry up, the palace has to rush into the palace"

"Yes, princess" Guo Rong was so frightened by Yi Zhen that she responded, "You guys shouldn't be faster"

The garrison did not suspect that it was not Princess Yizhen in the car, and when he heard that the princess was annoyed, he looked at the worried situation and waved his hand, "Hurry up, don't delay the princess entering the city." ”

The soldiers quickly checked every car, and in a moment, the city gate opened again, and the convoy drove into Tiandu City.

In the past, at this time, Tiandu City was still bustling, but today the doors on both sides of the city road are closed, the streets are empty, quiet, and only the footsteps of officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth can be heard.

"County Lord, is this city too quiet?" Mu Xi is the most straightforward on weekdays, but today he spoke in a very soft voice, cringe, as if he was a little scared.

Huaxi glanced out through the curtain opened by Mu Xi, frowned, and said, "It's okay, don't think nonsense, scare yourself." ”

Yi Zhen, who was sitting opposite, lifted the curtain on the other side of the car and looked, "Huaxi, I'll send you back to the palace again." ”

"There will be a detour from the palace ...... the palace"

"Needless to say, I'm anxious about the emperor's illness, but I'm not in a hurry at this time, besides, this is close to the princess's mansion, I have to go back to the palace first, so I will send you back by the way." Yi Zhen couldn't question it, "You can also see that the door is heavily guarded, which means that the emperor's condition is not optimistic, and I am worried about ......."

Yi Zhen was silent, what was the use of worrying about it, it came too suddenly, and now he can only enter the palace to talk about it, but with his brother's ability, he will definitely not put his only daughter in danger, but at this time, I don't know what the situation is in the palace, can he handle it?

Huaxi didn't speak again, thinking about the safety of Susukino Shin, looking at the solemn night outside the car, quiet and quiet, but like dead silence, will it be a storm tomorrow morning?

After Dazheng Street, the car of Zhidu Wangfu went west, and Guo Rong escorted Yi Zhen and Huaxi to Xinwang Mansion, Yi Zhen went straight back to the house, and took He Yizheng with him by the way, and Guo Rong went back to Yamen to resume his life.

As soon as Huaxi returned home, he closed the door of the courtyard and summoned Manager Hu to ask Bo Yexin what he could explain before entering the palace. Mr. Hu piped, Susukino Xin entered the palace at noon, and told Huaxi what he ordered before entering the palace.

"Does Manager Hu know any news in the palace?" Mr. Hu is Susukino's right and left hand, and he should know the current situation in Tiandu best, seemingly calm but secretly killing. Now the slightest disturbance in the palace may turn into a major event that affects the whole body, which is related to the safety of Susukino Shin, Huaxi has not received accurate news, and his heart is inevitably worried.

"According to the news in the palace, it is said to be a sign of the wind, and people have not yet sobered up."

"What's going on in the other provinces?"

Huaxi's abrupt question made Manager Hu stunned, and then thought of what Sukino Shin said before leaving about the official order, so he replied: "At noon, the palace ordered the soldiers of the Tiandu Mansion and the guards of the infantry to lead the yamen to strictly guard the door, and no one was allowed to enter and leave at will. There is no movement in the provinces at the moment. The eldest king and the second king had already left the palace last night, and this morning the Duke of Xun and the king of Zhidu were also summoned to enter the palace. However, before noon, Xun Zhenglin went out of the east gate to the north, and the old slave had already sent someone to follow. ”

"North, are you going to the Mohan Grassland?"

"At the moment, it should be."

"Can the palace give a summons to the north? Didn't you find anything else from Xun Zhenglin? Huaxi glanced at Manager Hu, she didn't believe that Manager Hu, who had followed King Xin for many years, would only send someone to follow him and not take action during such a critical period?

As soon as Mr. Hu heard Huaxi's words, he was tempted, the prince was right, the county lord of his own family was silent, and it did not mean that she was an ignorant person who didn't hear anything outside the window, and she found a flaw in three or two sentences, "Qiyu county lord, in addition to finding the holy decree on Xun Zhenglin's body, the shadow also found a handwritten letter from the queen mother on the mezzanine of the clothes, which roughly means asking King Mohan to lead his troops to escort King Qin." ”

Huaxi was surprised, she didn't expect that Queen Xun would want King Mohan to ask for help? What is the reason for this move? It is said that Bo Ye's condition is unknown, if it really comes to the point of dying soon, the three adult emperors who are now eligible to inherit the throne are all born by her, which one succeeds to the throne She is the queen mother, and the Xun family is still a national relative. And King Mohan, Huaxi once learned from Susukino that this person has always been ambitious, and secretly colluded with Shinan Zaisuke, and Le Yi and Filip came to Dahua this time, named Hexi, but they actually came to ask for help. Queen Xun invited King Mohan out at this time, isn't it equivalent to luring a wolf into the room? Could it be that the emperor's uncle wanted to clean up the Xun family and was noticed by the queen, but if he wanted to clean up the Xun family, how could his father not know, could it be ......

Huaxi looked up at Manager Hu and asked, "Has King Xian entered the palace?" ”
