Chapter 566: Le Yao enters the palace
In the dead of night, the entire Yongjing City was shrouded in an inexplicable atmosphere, so that the streets were pitch black, like a dead city.
The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong has been surrounded by the Han family's army, and according to the requirements of Concubine Mi, not even a fly can fly! But even if the lockdown is tight, there are times when something goes wrong, and a small head comes out of the most remote corner of the back alley of Zhonghonghou's Mansion, which is overgrown with weeds, and no one thought that there would be a dog hole hidden here!
Le Yao cautiously looked left and right, and was greatly relieved after making sure that no one had found out. She slowly moved out of the alley and ran out as fast as she could.
Obviously, it was not very late, but the entire Yongjing City had been quiet, the originally bustling and noisy street market was silent, so the shops and storefronts on the street had been closed, and there were patrols on the streets from time to time.
The thin and small figure rushed through the market, deftly avoiding the sight of countless officers and soldiers, and finally stopped in front of a house at the city gate.
Le Yao looked around for a while to confirm that no one was following, and then knocked lightly on the door. Soon the door was opened, Zhou Xiaoyan pulled Le Yao into the courtyard, and Qi Yu behind him cautiously closed the courtyard door.
"Le Yao, why are you here? It's not safe to have a big night! Zhou Xiaoyan couldn't help but blame.
Everything that happened in Yongjing City during this time was beyond their expectations, they didn't expect to be involved in such a danger, and at the same time, they were very worried about Hua Qingyan who was in the center of danger. The current situation of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion is obvious to all, and the Lejia, as the minister of the court and the in-laws of the Marquis Mansion, will naturally be affected. Moreover, Yongjing City has begun to curfew in the past few days, and if Le Yao is caught running out this night, it will also give those people a very good handle to control Le Jia, so Zhou Xiaoyan feels that Le Yao is very reckless.
Also thinks so is Sun Yunyun.
Since Hu Qing followed south, Sun Yunyun took Hu Baizhi to live in the small courtyard rented by Qi Yu and Zhou Xiaoyan. She is the elder of these children. I can take care of some of them on a regular basis. And when they get together, they can come up with ideas.
Sun Yunyun was pulling Hu Baizhi Pharmaceutical, and when she saw Zhou Xiaoyan pulling Le Yao, her face changed greatly: "Why is Miss Le Yao here, it's so dangerous outside, you have to think about yourself and your family!" ”
"I know, but I'm worried." Le Yao ran with a dry mouth all the way, and poured a glass of water from the table without hesitation, "Uncle Yaozong and Daddy didn't come back after going to court today, and the palace detained people. And I don't know when I will return. I'm worried. Yun Suiyi is ambitious, and Han Mi'er is ruthless, I think they are very dangerous. ”
"What?" Sun Yunyun's movements froze, and he almost didn't knock over the medicinal powder in his hand. She is a woman in the end, and she has no power in this Yongjing City, so the news is a little closed, and she doesn't know about Hua Yaozong and their detention in the palace. At first glance, when Le Yao talked about it, she was also very worried.
Several people looked at each other, although they were also very worried, but at the moment it was useless, and they couldn't help at all. Not to mention going to the palace to save people, it is very dangerous to even go out of this courtyard to the street.
"How is this good, the emperor is not here, the regent is not here, and now that Yun Suiyi has taken over the power, isn't he going to rebel, and now he has put those ministers under house arrest in the palace, and there is no one in the entire Yongjing City who can compete with them!" Sun Wanyun was so anxious that she walked back and forth in the room, frowning but there was nothing she could do.
Hu Baizhi's expression was a little dazed, obviously not paying attention to this.
Their family Zhou Rong followed Hua Qingying on the expedition, and there was a letterhead back the day before yesterday, saying that they had just arrived at the border pass and happened to encounter an attack by the northwest barbarian army. Hu Baizhi was worried for several days, looking forward to Zhou Rong's letter every day, but there was no news for the past two days, and she was worried that she would not think about it.
Hu Baizhi originally didn't want Zhou Rong to go to the northwest with him, after all, Zhou Rong is no longer the Zhou Rong of the past, they have only been married for less than a year, and this little day of love and love has not passed enough, how can they be willing to separate.
But Zhou Rong has his own ideas, he wants to make military merits and then ask for a petty official, he doesn't need to have much power, as long as he can have his own career to protect Hu Baizhi and protect their family. He is a dignified seven-foot man, and he doesn't want to nest in this small pharmacy all day long to help them.
But where is this military merit so easy to grasp, isn't this just a war! This is a life-or-death thing, and if one is not good, you will lose your life. Therefore, Hu Baizhi is worried every day, afraid of hearing the bad news from the northwest.
"I don't know what happened to Zhou Rong." Hu Baizhi sighed faintly.
Le Yao looked at Hu Baizhi, and then looked at the unswerving faces of the people who gritted their teeth and said: "I want to enter the palace to have a look, doesn't it mean that the third prince and Nayun Suiyi manage the government at the same time, I think that if such a big thing happens, the third prince will definitely not sit idly by!" ”
"Then if he can't manage it, maybe he is also under house arrest?" Qi Yu frowned and said, "And the third prince and Yun Suiyi are compatriots of the same mother, and he is also greedy for this power and is in the same stream as Yun Suiyi, after all, for the sake of his own brother's affection, Yun Suiyi will not be embarrassed with him." ”
Although he knew what Qi Yu said about Tsuji's speculations, these speculations were not unreasonable. They didn't know the three princes well, and they didn't know who he was. Even if they are acquainted, they still know people and faces, in case the three princes are really in the same group as Yun Suiyi, wouldn't Le Yao come to the door so rashly!
So none of them agreed with Le Yao's idea.
Le Yao, who was denied, was extremely anxious, she felt that Yun Suiyan was a good person, and it was impossible to be in the same league with Yun Suiyi, but she couldn't come up with evidence to convince Sun Wanyun of them. She also knew that they were right to be appreciative, but she was also worried that she would not agree with her. However, time waits for no one now, and she doesn't want to hear the news of the death of her father and Zhongyong from the palace tomorrow morning!
Le Yao looked at the gloomy sky and felt that she couldn't wait any longer, if she didn't take a look for herself, she couldn't feel at ease. She gritted her teeth and said, "Aunt Wanyun, you take care of Bai Zhi and Xiaoyan, I'll go to find out the news, you don't have to worry about me, I'm measured!" ”
Saying that, without waiting for Sun Yunyun's reaction, he rushed to the door and opened the courtyard door and ran out!
"Huh! This kid! After Sun Wanyun came back to his senses, he hurriedly chased out, but it was dark outside, where was Le Yao's figure. She stomped her feet anxiously, "How is this good, Miss Le Yao is really messed up!" If she is arrested, won't she cause trouble for Hou Ye and them again! ”
Sun Yunyun thought for a while, and felt that this would not work, she still had to go and get Le Yao back!
She turned around and carefully instructed Zhou Xiaoyan and Qi Yu not to go out before she came back, and then stepped into the darkness with firm steps.
But just after taking two steps, Sun Yunyun felt that something had hit him, and then rolled to the ground. It was very light, and Sun Yunyun didn't feel how much weight it was. She stopped and subconsciously searched the ground, only to find that it was a small paper ball.
Sun Yunyun was a little suspicious, but she still picked up the paper ball and opened it, and there was only one line of words on it.
- Madame, rest assured, the girl is safe.
Sun Yunyun's originally apprehensive mood was instantly appeased, obviously Lord Le or Zhongyonghou secretly arranged someone around them to protect their safety. This paper ball must have been passed on to him by the secret person, and he didn't want to let himself get into danger while protecting Le Yao's safety. Sun Yunyun breathed a sigh of relief and looked around into the darkness, although she couldn't see anyone, she felt a lot more relieved.
She clenched the paper ball and walked back, intending to continue guarding the children.
Besides, Le Yao, I don't know if she was lucky, but hiding and hiding along the way really made her safely at the foot of the imperial city. Avoiding the sight of the patrols, Le Yao squatted in the corner of the wall and looked at the towering and tall city wall, a little at a loss. Although she is wild on weekdays, she doesn't even know the kung fu of a three-legged cat, and she hasn't practiced a peerless light skill, so she can't climb into this city wall at all. But if you don't turn it over, will you drill a dog hole? But how could there be a dog hole at the foot of this imperial city!
Le Yao looked at the city wall at a loss, and at the same time a little frustrated, she really couldn't do anything at all, she wanted to save people but was stopped by the city wall, she didn't succeed or something, she was really unhappy!
At this moment, Le Yao suddenly found that there was movement above her head!
Le Yao was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back to look up, and happened to see a person appear on the city wall, as if he wanted to come out of the palace!
Le Yao's eyes widened, because the distance was a little far away, and it was dark at night, so she couldn't see the person's face clearly, but she was sure that she could vaguely see that it was a girl!
Girl? A girl who turned out of the palace could it be a palace maid who escaped from the palace? But where did the palace maid have such courage to just climb over the wall and leave the palace, and how could she have such good skills?
Just when Le Yao was puzzled, the girl on the city wall had already jumped and landed on the ground lightly and steadily. The girl had obviously discovered Le Yao as well, but she stood on guard but didn't attack rashly, but asked in a calm voice, "Who is there?" ”
The sound was familiar. Le Yao blinked, feeling as if she had heard this voice somewhere, although it was deliberately suppressed and a little low, it was still easy to distinguish. Le Yao has a good memory, and soon found the answer in her mind.
"Princess, it's me, I'm Le Yao!" Le Yao was overjoyed, she didn't expect that she would actually meet Yun Zixi!
"Le Yao?" Yun Zixi frowned and recalled the name, took a few steps forward, and finally saw Le Yao's face clearly through the faint light, "Oh, you are the girl of Lord Le's family, I remember you." ”
Le Yao nodded again and again, and Yun Zi asked strangely, "What are you doing here on this big night?" Want to go into the palace to save your father? ”
