The time is approaching, the sky explodes, fireworks burst out, and it looks extremely dazzling in this palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs on errand have raised their heads to see.

Ning Yunxiao, who was sleeping in the bedroom, was also awakened.

"When?" She asked, sitting up.

The two palace maids were looking at the window, and turned around as if they were frightened.

"Back to Niangniang, it's time." They said, they liked to say it in their hearts but condemned it, "I don't know who is so bold as to set off fireworks in the palace." ”

"Changing clothes." Ning Yunxiao said, stepped on the embroidered shoes and stood up.

"Changing clothes? It's so late! The two palace maids were stunned, "Where are you going?" ”

Ning Yunxiao frowned, "Change your clothes and prepare the lanterns." ”

As soon as the two palace maids were excited, they immediately responded, one brought his clothes, and the other went outside to prepare lanterns.

It will be early autumn in half a month, and the wind at night will add a bit of coldness.

The palace maid just took the lantern out of the wing room, and there was a sound behind her, and the voice was the same as that of a centenarian old woman, no, it was not as good as an old woman, just like a ghost, which made people feel goosebumps, "What are you doing?" ”

"Mom!" The palace maid was startled, and hurriedly turned around, while retreating, and saw that it was a person, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a big night, you appear behind others silently, what do you want to do!" ”

Zaiyi's face was not good, "I haven't asked you what you're doing sneaky!" ”

"What can I do?" The palace maid said, taking out the candle from the standing stone lantern, and lit the candle in the lantern in her hand, "The queen asked me to prepare, as if I was going out and changing clothes!" ”

"Where are you going out?" Zai Yi asked.

"How do I know!" The maid said, and when the words fell, the door of the bedroom was pushed open from the inside, and she immediately walked over.

Zai Yi has been extremely afraid and resentful of Ning Yunxiao since he was poured that mouthful of medicinal herbs in the morning, and when he saw Ning Yunxiao come out, he immediately hid aside, and faintly heard Ning Yunxiao ask the palace maid, "Which side just set off the fireworks?" ”

Firework?

Zai Yi was puzzled, she also heard the movement of the fireworks, but she didn't think that Ning Yunxiao also wanted to watch the fireworks.

Hearing Ning Yunxiao's question, the palace maid immediately pointed to the east, "Niangniang, it's the east." ”

As she spoke, another firework bloomed in the eastern sky, verdant and verdant.

Ning Yunxiao looked sideways, and after the green fireworks bloomed, they bloomed in the air one after another, connecting into one piece.

Extremely excited in her heart, she lifted the hem of her skirt, and her steps were a little faster.

It's done! People have already infiltrated the palace! Seeing that the movement was so big, it was already luring the rest of the officers and soldiers over.

At the same time, Bai Chenlin, who saw the fireworks and paced out, was already in his heart, and that was the direction of the palace gate in the east.

"Let's go see who's setting off the fireworks." He immediately commanded the officers and soldiers.

"Yes." The officers and men received the order and hurried away.

Bai Chenlin waited for half an hour, but he didn't see the officers and soldiers come back, but he waited for the military division who led 4,000 officers and soldiers to monitor outside the training ground.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what's going on? The subordinates felt something unusual. The military advisor didn't understand the situation either, and asked anxiously.

Before Bai Chenlin could speak, there was a shout outside, and the piercing sound of gongs and drums rang out, from far to near.

"There are assassins! There are assassins! Come on—" Listening to the voice, you can tell that it is the officers and soldiers who shouted again.

"Nope! If you are not an assassin, the assassin will not be so blatantly aggressive, and you will not be discovered, go and see. Bai Chenlin didn't want to say anything, and walked outside the palace gate as he spoke.

The military advisor hurriedly followed, "His Royal Highness the Prince, wait for his subordinates to gather officers and soldiers, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his subordinates, how can I meet the assassin?" ”

"The main hall said it wasn't an assassin." Bai Chenlin said, as he stepped out of the palace gate, a figure rushed over, and he raised his foot and was about to kick it over, only to hear an exclamation, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave has something important to report." ”

Bai Chenlin frowned, flicked his sleeves, and paused.

"Who are you?" He asked, such an ugly voice was not in his memory.

"The slave is the meaning of the slave." Zai Yi came closer, Shi Li said.

Bai Chenlin saw that it was her, and his heart moved, "What do you have to report?" About Ning Yunxiao? ”

When asked what he meant, he immediately said, "Exactly!" There were fireworks in the sky just now, and Ning Yunxiao hurried out when he saw it. ”

"Your Highness, this Ning Yunxiao really has a move!" The military advisor also immediately said that he had said before that Ning Yunxiao didn't just say it, look, now that there is a move, don't be in a hurry to take precautions.

Bai Chenlin didn't know where to use him to remind.

With these few words, the officers and soldiers who shouted that there were assassins had already run over, and the closer they got there, the clearer they could see the blood stains on his arms.

The military advisor didn't mean to go up to help, but said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this officer and soldier can run here, and so can the assassins, so let's leave quickly." ”

"There's no hurry." Bai Chenlin said, walked up with a step, but after a few steps, he saw that the officers and soldiers and their bones were soft, and as soon as the hand that struck the gong stopped, the whole person fell to the ground so straight.

"Ahh

Bai Chenlin frowned, his steps quickened, he stopped beside the officers and soldiers, stretched out his hand to touch the latter's veins, and immediately judged: "It's a drug." ”

"Drugged?" The military advisor who followed was stunned, why did he use drugs instead of killing them directly?

"Go to the palace gate." Bai Chenlin said, striding away, "The main hall suspects that the officers and soldiers guarding the palace gate have been drugged. ”

The military advisor followed suit, remembered something, and turned back to the palace maid and said, "You go to the training ground immediately and let Cheng Liang bring someone over." ”

Before he could respond, Bai Chenlin said coldly, "No need." He's dead. ”

"What? He's dead? The advisor was stunned.

"Isn't it damn to make trouble and make trouble to upset the main hall?" Bai Chenlin said that it was not found out that Cheng Liang was the prince's person.

"Damn, shit!" Where did the military advisor dare to say that "sin does not lead to death", he didn't understand what "crime" Cheng Liang had, and wondered in his heart what method Ning Yunxiao had come up with, but he couldn't understand it.

……

In the prison, the prince was waiting for the commander of the Praetorian Guard to bring someone to rescue him, and he suddenly heard the discussion of the two errand generals outside, and couldn't help but get a little closer.

"If you want to say that Cheng Scales is really unlucky, he was executed because he fought a few times with the commander of the Praetorian Guard."

"Yes, and I didn't even leave the whole body, and I was thrown into a mass grave outside the palace!"

"It's not a mass grave, I heard that the officers and soldiers who carried the corpses were too troublesome, so they were thrown into dry wells."

"What? Dry? How so? Which one is it, I'm going to leave the palace tomorrow morning, and I guess I won't come again in this life, so I'll go and worship. ”

"I don't know, you have the heart, help his family more when you go back."

"Family? He seems to be an orphan......"

"I don't know ......"

Listening to this conversation, the prince sighed unconsciously.

I didn't expect to let Cheng Scales avoid it like this, but he still didn't avoid it, it must have been fighting with the commander of the Praetorian Guard that caused Bai Chenlin's suspicions.

This Bai Chenlin is really ruthless, he didn't even arrest and interrogate him, and he couldn't save it if he wanted to, and even if it wasn't for these two young generals, he wouldn't know that Cheng Scale's body was in a dry well in the palace here.

Just thinking about it, I heard the two young generals outside exclaim, "What person? Hold it! ”

Here it comes!

The prince's heart sank, and he stood behind the prison door with plastic surgery.

Soon, the Praetorian Guards outside raised their swords, solved the two young generals, and immediately came to open the door.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard saluted, "Your Highness has suffered. ”

"It doesn't matter." The prince paced out of the cell.

As soon as the commander of the Praetorian Guard brought people in, it attracted the attention of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and when they saw the prince coming out, they shouted one after another, "Your Royal Highness the prince, save me and wait out!" His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

The prince straightened his sleeves and put on the cloak brought by the Praetorian Guards.

"Let them out, keep them under strict guard, and if they don't keep them, they will have bad intentions." He said, walked through the next cell, and asked, "What about Concubine Xu and the nineteenth brother?" ”

"No one knew that they faked their deaths, and their subordinates also listened to His Royal Highness's orders and did not interfere, and the funeral officials had already put Concubine Xu and the Nineteen Princes in the coffin, because they didn't know what to do, and they were temporarily shelved in Concubine Xu's palace." The Commander of the Praetorian Guard said, "Your Highness is going to deal with this matter first?" ”

"Don't worry, it's urgent to see Empress Ning." The prince said, "How many people have infiltrated the palace?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there are as many as three hundred." The look of the commander of the Praetorian Guard is quite strange, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many spies, but they are still installed by Li Yiyan so many people, although some of them may have been installed by Li Hanyu, the last emperor of the Tianyuan Kingdom, but it is silent, which makes people feel creepy.

If these three hundred people sneak into the palace secretly, killing someone will be as simple as a common thing.

The prince obviously had such thoughts, and his expression couldn't help but be a little solemn.

When everyone got out of the prison, the Praetorian Guards led the way with torches, and the prince instructed as he walked, "Divide into four groups to take back the four palace gates, and the officers and soldiers who resist will be killed on the spot." ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard immediately turned back and pointed to the four junior generals, "You each bring two hundred people to go, take down the palace gate and release signal flares." ”

Bai Chenlin transferred 4,000 officers and soldiers to the training ground, although the remaining 1,000 officers and soldiers were divided into four units, each of which had 250 people, but excluding the patrols, there were only 178 in each palace gate.

"Yes." The four young generals responded and soon heard the sound of Suosuo's footsteps, and the eight hundred Praetorian Guards hurried past the prince.

The prince then said: "The scales are dead, and the body is thrown into a dry well, and someone is sent to find it, and it is buried thickly." ”

"Yes." The commander of the Praetorian Guard was slightly stunned, "When the matter is closed tonight, my subordinates will personally bring someone to find it." ”

"Where is Empress Ning now?" The prince snorted, he didn't think that Ning Yunxiao would wait for his subordinates to find him in the palace, so it was estimated that the first one to wait was not his subordinates, nor him, but Bai Chenlin.

"This ......," the Praetorian Guard commander said.

"You can't go wrong with Chengzhimen." The prince said, his steps quickened, and a large number of Praetorian Guards followed behind.

On the steps of the Chengzhi Gate, Ning Yunxiao had already arrived, and from a distance, he saw the guards dressed in black, masked, and quickly jumping over with light skills, jumping like grasshoppers.

Even though the word isn't very pretty, her first thought really was this.

However, the two palace maids behind them were not so calm, and they still had time to think of an adjective for these guards, they only had the word "assassin" left in their minds, and they put it into action and shouted it, heartbreaking so that the guards over there followed suit.

"Assassins—there are assassins—" They hugged each other in fright.

Ning Yunxiao supported her waist and walked towards the guards, and suddenly saw that behind the guards, a carriage also followed, and a person poked out of it, she immediately recognized it as Qingzhu, and Qingzhu also recognized her, and waved her hand vigorously.
