The north wind was strong overnight, the whole capital was in a state of silence, and the sound of the palace people crying in the Chongzheng Hall came out, and the mourning bell rang heavily.

Mingzhu woke up from her sleep and saw Dong Hui and Mama Su kneeling in front of her bed with solemn expressions, so she said, "You guys are here, where are Su Mei, Xia Lu, and Xia Xue?" ”

"Su Mei is injured, and she is recuperating in the Guangming Palace at this time." Dong Hui looked at Mama Su: "As for Xia Lu and Xia Xue, Mama Su is a witness, so it's up to her." ”

Mama Su's slightly mean face showed a little sadness: "Xia Lu is dead." She was shot to death with a poisonous needle by the legless woman, and Xia Xue was guarding the woman at this moment, so she couldn't come to see the princess. ”

Mingzhu's heart sank, her nose was sore, and tears almost burst out of her eyes, and she endured it for a long time before she could hold back, and said in a dumb voice: "Where is that woman now?" ”

"It's also in the Guangming Palace." Mama Su's little eyes showed a fierce light: "The old slave originally wanted to kill her, but the princess said that she probably knew the whereabouts of the concubine, and asked the old slave to catch her alive as much as possible, and the old slave also felt that it was too cheap to kill her like this, so the old slave let her live." ”

Mingzhu listened to Mama Su's tone, guessing that Jiang Shanshan's situation must not be better, thinking of Concubine Min and Princess Huayang, she also had a headache: "Didn't you come out of trial?" ”

Dong Hui said: "She refuses to say anything, she refuses to say how to torture, she has to go in person to say it." ”

Mingzhu got up and got out of bed: "Then let's go over." ”

The palace people immediately took the clothes and came over to help Mingzhu clean up and dress up, the dress was still worn when she was a little girl, although it was urgently processed and modified by the palace people overnight, but it was still a little short to wear. Fortunately, Yu Wenbai died, and everyone had to mourn, so if they put on a linen dress outside, they would be able to get by.

Mingzhu's whole body was in pain, especially when she turned her head, she leaned in front of the mirror and saw that a large piece of her neck on the right side was bruised, as if it was left by Yu Wencong when he stuned her with a palm knife before. couldn't help but scold: "Don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will definitely cut you with a thousand knives." ”

Aunt Mu happened to come to see her, and when she saw that she was going out, she frowned: "There is still chaos in the palace at this time, you yourself are like this, what are you going to do if you don't raise it honestly?" Concubine Min and Princess Huayang naturally have someone to search, and you can't help much, so keep it in peace. ”

Mingzhu just shook her head, she didn't want to stay in the palace for a long time, she couldn't wait to finish what she was doing, hurry back to hug Zhuangzhuang, and look at her family. There is also a father, when she was kidnapped by Yuwencong before, she heard the mother and son of the Empress Dowager Min say that her father was surrounded and fled to the Changxin Palace, she asked Mulberry before, and Mulberry told her that her father went out of the palace again, but she always felt a little unsteady, and she had to see it with her own eyes to rest assured.

Aunt Mu pulled her aside and said in a low voice: "At this time, the Empress Dowager is talking to the King of Yanping County, why don't you go over and take a look?" ”

Mingzhu smiled: "Thank you Auntie, but what did I do in the past?" ”

Aunt Mu was very frustrated: "I just don't want you to get into trouble with Niangniang to the point of inextricability, maybe you go over and take a look and persuade it, Niangniang will change her mind or not......"

"No, it won't." Mingzhu said with certainty: "But aunt, don't worry, my mother has always protected me at the critical moment, I remember it." If my aunt really feels sorry for me, send me a warm sedan chair, I really hurt a lot. ”

Aunt Mu hurriedly arranged for someone to arrange it, and directly carried the warm sedan chair to Mingzhu. When the warm sedan chair passed outside the main hall of Changxin Palace, Mingzhu lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see Fu Zifei standing alone outside the palace gate, poking his head out and looking in, presumably peeping at Yu Wenguang, so he put down the curtain in disgust.

Along the way, as Aunt Mu said, there was chaos everywhere, no one cleaned the snow on the road, the flowers and trees were destroyed to the point that they lost their original appearance, heavy blood marks could be seen in many places, and traces of fire and attack could be seen in several palaces, and the corpses were invisible, and occasionally a few palace people were also wearing mourning clothes.

Dong Hui said proudly: "The princess didn't see the scene last night, even if it is called purgatory, many palace people are like headless flies everywhere. It's all our Royal Highness, after being ordered to treat the funeral, he arranged for people to clean it up, and gave ten orders in a row, which is what it is now. ”

Mama Su also said: "The princess doesn't know yet, His Royal Highness was stopped outside the capital before, and these fools thought he couldn't get in, but our Royal Highness suddenly made a lot of big guys, relying on those big guys, the elite soldiers attacked the city wall, and they joined forces with Yue Guogong and others, so that they could control the capital and enter the palace smoothly." ”

Mingzhu is full of blood, these big guys that Mama Su said in her mouth, you don't need to ask, they are naturally the giant bed crossbow that they made out of the half-cut cut, as for the big guy who attacked the city wall with the help of the elite soldiers, it should be a modified bed crossbow that can shoot treadmill arrows. Then she understood what Yu Wenchu meant by his words that he couldn't come to save her, he was intercepted outside the city, how could he save her?

But even so, the men and horses on their side did not suffer much loss, thanks to his usual proper preparation and arrangement, so that he was not defeated when the crisis suddenly came.

In the distance, some people scolded loudly, and some people shouted wildly, mixed with crying, and it was very chaotic to listen to. Once the son of heaven is a courtier, there will definitely be someone who is unlucky, Mingzhu instinctively didn't want to care more, so he ordered the palace people who carried the sedan chair: "Take a detour, go over there." ”

However, she wanted to dodge, but people refused to let her go, someone rushed over, staggered and fell in front of her soft sedan chair, clinging to the edge of the soft sedan chair and refusing to let go: "Princess Ying, Princess Ying, sixth sister-in-law, please save my mother, I will make you a cow and a horse, and I will make you a cow and a horse!" ”

It's Princess Corning.

Mingzhu opened the sedan curtain and looked at Princess Kangning in front of her. She had completely lost her usual elegance and luxury, she did not wear a cloak and cloak, she simply wore a plain brocade jacket, the jacket was torn, the silk wool inside was exposed, the skirt she wore was also covered with mud and blood, her hair was unkempt, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was full of panic and pleading.

Princess Kangning clasped her hands together and pleaded: "Sixth sister-in-law, sixth sister-in-law, I haven't done anything to you in normal times, my starling brother is dead, please let my mother go." ”

Mingzhu looked up into the distance, only to see that on the passage not far away, several palace people dragged the crazy Concubine Xiao, one pulled her hair, one twisted her arms, one stepped on her, and some people slapped her hard, Concubine Xiao couldn't resist, she could only cry loudly, that look was not ordinary miserable.
