Chapter 46: The Secret Decree
Liu Yuling and Su Xueyi flashed out like a gust of wind, rushing towards the imperial city, looking at Su Ye who was worthy of stepping into the palace gate in shock.
"Looks like we're still late. Liu Yuling was annoyed and said angrily, "It's all to blame on those bastards of the Liuyun Sect, they have to follow us, otherwise we wouldn't have wasted so much time and put Senior Brother Su in danger." ”
"What now?" asked Su Xueyi anxiously.
"When we went out, Master warned us that the palace is forbidden and we must not trespass. Liu Yuling sighed, "The only way to do this is to go back and ask the master to see if the master has any way to rescue Senior Brother Su, hey...... I hope that Senior Brother Su can survive this period of time......"
"How long will it take?" asked Su Xueyi with a pale face.
Liu Yuling shook her head and said, "I don't know, Master's thoughts, we, as disciples, don't dare to speculate in vain, let's go back first!"
She grabbed Su Xueyi and was about to retreat together, but saw Su Xueyi stubbornly shaking her head and gently brushing her away: "Senior Sister Liu, you go back first, I'll save Xiao Ye......"
"How can you save it?" Liu Yuling glared at her, "With your strength, you can't even pass the level of the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace gate." ”
Su Xueyi gritted her teeth and was silent.
"I can't leave Xiao Ye ......alone," Su Xue looked resolute, "If I had to wait for Senior Ye to decide, I'm afraid Xiao Ye would have died a long time ago." ”
She broke free of Liu Yuling's wrist and hurried forward, heading straight for the palace.
Liu Yuling froze in place, seeing that Su Xueyi was about to get out of her sight, her heart was crossed, and she suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Wait, let's go together, I don't believe that the worldly place of the palace can trap me!"
She caught up with Su Xueyi in a few steps, grabbed her arm, smiled slightly, and without waiting for Su Xueyi to react, the white light on her body lingered, and when she jumped into the air, she turned into a streamer and flashed into the imperial city.
"Hey...... These two stupid girls. Where the two disappeared, a man in Tsing Yi suddenly flashed out, stomping his feet in anger.
The man looked at the position where the two of them fell into the imperial city, gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, but could only sigh helplessly and turn around and leave.
Su Ye didn't know that her sister and Senior Sister Liu had also gone deep into the imperial city because they saved themselves.
His consciousness was hazy, and before he could reach the Chenyue Palace where Princess Yue was located, he completely fell to the ground and passed out.
When he woke up from his daze, he was already in a fragrant, elegant and luxurious room.
Su Ye opened his eyes and saw that the bed was silky, warm as spring, the gauze tent was intertwined, completely covering the whole big bed, the whole room was filled with a light fragrance, and the surrounding layout was exquisite, staggered, looking rich and elegant.
He subconsciously frowned, very uncomfortable with this fragrant woman's boudoir, turned over and sat up, and brushed open the gauze tent with one hand.
Thinking of what happened to him before he fell unconscious, he was distraught, and hurriedly looked over his shoulder, only to see that the wound had been bandaged at the moment, and no longer leached blood.
"You're awake!" a cold voice sounded from the room.
Su Ye followed the voice and stared at it, only to see Princess Yue in a purple dress, sitting quietly at the table in the room, still looking at him as cold as the moon.
"Thank you!" Su Ye got up, poured a glass of cold water on the table, and threw himself up.
He moved his right arm, and after feeling that there was no serious problem, he forcefully tore off the gauze wrapped around the wound, and under the gauze, the wound penetrated by the black ruler of the Moon Princess had completely recovered at this moment, leaving no traces.
"This ......" Princess Moon looked at the recovery of his wounds, shocked and unbelievable.
"My body is different from ordinary people, and my ability to recover from injuries is much faster than ordinary people. Su Ye said in a deep voice, "It's that black ruler that looks weird, after a blow, it can actually make people bleed all the time." ”
"That's the star ruler that Master passed on to me. Princess Moon replied, "Only Master's secret blood clotting mud can stop the bleeding. ”
"Your master?" Su Ye was surprised.
Princess Yue nodded, facing his doubts, but did not continue to answer, just was silent for a long time, and said gently: "Master Su, I saved your life today because I want to ask you to do me a favor......
Su Ye took a step back, grabbed the black sword on the table, shook his head, interrupted her words, and said in a deep voice: "Between you and me, it has long been even, and now except for the life and death of the wind shadow, I will not participate in the royal dispute, so I advise you not to say it, I will not agree." ”
He held the sword in his hand, and without waiting for Princess Moon to reply, he hurried out.
"You are now in my Chenyue Palace, so no one will come to arrest you, but if you leave Chenyue Palace, as you are the murderer of Wang Xi, do you think the Praetorian Guards in the palace will easily let you go?"
"I have my own way. Su Ye replied indifferently and gently opened the door.
It was already dark outside, and the cold wind was blowing, and the ice was soaking his bones, which was just enough to help him hide his figure and create an opportunity to get out of the palace.
"What about this, can I let you stay?"
Princess Yue's hands were as slender as jade, and she calmly took out a piece of white sleeves and purple clothes from the bottom of her sleeve.
Su Ye looked back, his eyes suddenly froze, the black sword in his hand rang out of the sheath, and the sword stabbed straight ahead, and the tip of the sword with fierce killing intent instantly froze in the throat of the moon princess, which was as white as jade.
"What happened to my sister and Senior Sister Liu?" he asked urgently.
"As long as you promise to help me, they will be fine. Princess Moon looked into his murderous eyes without the slightest fear.
Su Ye didn't know why Senior Sister Liu and her sister fell into the hands of Princess Yue, but her palms with broken sleeves and purple clothes were indeed the things of the two of them.
"If I force you to give it? Su Ye handed the tip of the sword and pressed it against the skin of her throat.
Princess Yue shook her head lightly: "It's useless, Miss Su and your Senior Sister Liu are not in my Chenyue Palace, even if you kill me, you won't be able to save them." ”
"Where are they?" Su Ye's eyes swelled with coldness, and he shouted angrily.
"I'll tell you when it's over. Princess Moon ignored his anger and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, as long as you promise to help me, they won't be in danger during this time." ”
He hesitated in his heart and stalemate for a long time, but he still withdrew his sword in retreat.
He sighed to himself and asked intently, "Say, what's the matter?"
"Now the Praetorian Guard, Jin Wuwei, and Imperial Forest Army in Lingdu have been controlled by the imperial uncle and Wang Chengxiang, and the Lingdu has no military power available for me and my father, and the Hou Ye's family is imprisoned in the heavenly prison, although I have not been placed under house arrest by the imperial uncle, but the movement is already inconvenient, I want you to help me send a secret decree to the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Legion who is unaware of the border pass. ”
"Secret Purpose?" Su Ye frowned.
"My father and I are no longer available. Princess Yue stared at Su Ye, revealing a pleading face, "As a last resort, I have to trouble Su Gongzi." ”
The border pass where the Dragon and Tiger Legion is located, three thousand miles south of Lingdu City, even if he can go out of the city and bring the secret decree to the Dragon and Tiger Legion, I am afraid that the far water will not be able to save the near fire.
The mighty king has already controlled all the forces in the city, and with a flip of his hands, he can destroy the entire Chu Emperor's power at any time.
As long as the other party discovers that the Dragon and Tiger Legion has moved, in an instant, the situation can be determined.
"I'm afraid it's useless. Su Ye figured out the key and said in a deep voice.
"We still have a month to go. Princess Yue's eyes were filled with anticipation, "Uncle Huang still has the support of the Flowing Cloud Sect behind him, the reason why they have mastered all the armies and have not yet acted is to wait for an opportunity, I know that opportunity will not break out until a month later, so we still have a chance." ”
Su Ye's heart sank, and she remembered the March period that Aunt Ye said.
He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and suddenly realized that the situation in this city was much more complicated than he had imagined.
"Alright, I'll do this for you. Su Ye nodded, his eyes still condensed with fierce killing intent, and said, "But if there is any difference between my sister and Senior Sister Liu at that time, I will definitely not give up." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Princess Yue's eyes, and she happily responded: "Don't worry, they will be fine with my master taking care of them." ”
As she spoke, she stood up lightly, took off the black ruler from the bookcase in the room and quietly hid it in her sleeve, looked back at Su Ye and said, "Now, let's go to Mingyang Palace together, I will immediately ask my father for a secret decree, and then secretly send you out of the palace." ”
Su Ye responded lightly, put away the long sword, and followed her out of Chenyue Palace.
He followed closely behind Princess Yue, zigzagging through the palace, deliberately avoiding the patrolling Praetorian Guards, and finally came to the outside of Mingyang Palace after half an hour.
"Princess, stop!" The Praetorian Guard guarding the Mingyang Palace commanded the long knife and stopped the Moon Princess.
"General Qi wants to stop me?" Princess Yue's eyes were as cold as frost, and her breath was cold and piercing.
"The last general will not dare. The Qi general hurriedly bowed down and said in a deep voice, "But Your Majesty has already slept, you know, Your Majesty is sleeping, and no one is allowed to disturb him, so ...... The princess is still ...... Please come back!"
Princess Yue snorted coldly, ignoring the other party's obstruction at all, climbed the steps, forcibly crossed the Qi general, pulled the purple dress and walked towards the Chu Emperor's bedroom step by step, her cold eyes, with a fierce murderous intent, with the steps forward, she kept coldly looking at the Praetorian Guard soldiers holding weapons on both sides.
Su Ye lowered her head, hid the long sword backhand in her sleeve, and followed her all the way.
Seeing that he couldn't stop Princess Yue, General Naqi didn't dare to really make a move, and for a while, a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but soak out on his forehead.
He cursed to himself, kept his face calm, and hurriedly ordered the two elite warriors behind him to hurry up and inform King Wuwei.
The soldiers of the Praetorian Guards stationed in the Mingyang Palace, under the suppression of Princess Yue's cold killing intent, did not dare to act rashly at all, and could only watch as the two of them forcibly crossed the obstacles and broke into the room where Emperor Chu was sleeping.
"Father......" After Princess Yue entered the house, she called out, and the whole person instantly rushed to the bed.
A middle-aged man with a long beard and a kind face was startled by the girl who suddenly pounced, slowly sat up from the bed, coughed twice, and then said, "Yue'er, why are you here?"
"Come and see my father. Princess Yue looked at his pale face and asked, "Father, is the emperor in better health these days, and the emperor is embarrassed by you?"
Emperor Chu shook his head: "Although Yun Chong was disobedient and put me under house arrest here, he still has a trace of brotherhood in his heart after all, and he has never done anything to me, but I can't pass on my will now, and the Praetorian Guard and Jin Wuwei are completely controlled by Yun Chong, making me a puppet." ”
"It's because my father trusted the emperor too much before, and I didn't expect it to be like this. Princess Yue sighed and said, "Lord Hou's family is also in prison now, and the entire Lingdu City has been completely controlled by the prime minister and the imperial uncle. ”
"Hey......" Emperor Chu regretted, "Half a month ago, when Yun Chonglai asked me to inspect the Hou Mansion, I should have been vigilant, but I didn't expect it...... It dragged down the Feng family. ”
"Father, it's too late to say this. Princess Yue held Emperor Chu's hand and said, "I have another way." ”
She carefully told Emperor Chu what she thought in her heart and the identity of Su Ye standing behind her, and said in a deep voice: "As long as General Long's Dragon and Tiger Legion can return to the imperial capital before the imperial uncle acts, there is still room for redemption in all these situations." ”
"Do you want to ask for a secret decree?" Emperor Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "Yue'er, with Yun Chong's cleverness, he won't let you and your people out of the city, I'm afraid that the purpose of your coming here will already be known when you break through the Praetorian Guard." ”
"You know. Princess Yue said, "As long as I have my father's secret decree, I can take the initiative, and it is impossible for the imperial uncle to completely block the city gate and not let anyone enter or leave, right? ”
"Oh well. Emperor Chu looked at his stubborn daughter and sighed softly.
He put on a yellow robe, quickly got up from the bed, sat down in front of the desk in the room, took the golden brocade silk handed by the princess of the moon, and immediately wrote down the secret edict, and finally bit his finger and printed the blood mark.
The imperial jade seal was taken away by the mighty king, and the only evidence left for Emperor Chu was his blood seal.
"Yue'er, be careful. Emperor Chu handed over the secret decree to his daughter and reminded, "I understand Yun Chong's character, if you don't resist, he won't kill him all, but if you insist on blocking his path, he will also deny his relatives." ”
Yue'er understood. Princess Moon bowed her head in response.
Time was pressing, she told her father a few words, and quickly left Mingyang Palace with Su Ye.
The two of them walked forward quickly, walked to the open square outside the Mingyang Palace, and were about to find an opportunity to escape into the night, when a cold voice suddenly resounded in the void.
