99 Chapter 98
The three of them were already tied together, and in the process of knocking the chamberlain unconscious, they pulled and pulled each other, and it took a lot of effort in vain, but now seeing that the other party had fainted, the three of them lay on the ground panting, and breathed calmly.
Time was pressing, Wei Yunqing just panted and said, "Let's quickly find a way to untie the rope and escape!" β
As soon as the words fell, I heard a whine of different timbres on the left and right.
Wei Yunqing then remembered that the mouths of these two people were still blocked, and she was the only one who could speak. She turned to the right, and Cao Jun was facing her, her head tilted, and she bit the corner of the exposed cloth, and pulled it out at once.
Cao Jun sighed: "It's suffocating the slave!" β
Wei Yunqing turned to the left again, the strip of cloth in Yang Yi's mouth was stuffed too tightly, and there was not much exposed, if she lowered her head to bite, she might touch his lips. But she didn't think too much for a while, and just wanted to tilt her head to bite, but found that Yang Yi's face was red, his eyes were turning left and right, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.
Wei Yunqing's movements suddenly stopped, retracted his head and said, "Anyway, it's not in the way, let's take it later." β
The anticipation in Yang Yi's eyes quickly turned into disappointment at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
If it weren't for the wrong timing, Wei Yunqing would have wanted to roll his eyes and scold him - when was it, could he still think about those charming flowers and snow?
Wei Yunqing ignored Yang Yi, lowered his head to study the ropes on the three of them, and said after a while: "Gonggong Cao, you move forward and sideways, yes, that's it, I'll untie the rope in your hand first." β
Cao Jun was a little surprised: "Then there will be Lao Niangniang!" β
Wei Yunqing bent down with all his strength to reach Cao Jun's hands tied behind him, and his waist was about to bend before he bit the knot with his teeth and tried his best to untie it. When her teeth hurt and her mouth was sore, the knot loosened her face, and she rested for a while, and finally bit the knot open.
Feeling that his hand was loose, Cao Jun immediately broke the bruised wrist out of the knot, first untied the rope on his body, and hurried to untie Wei Yunqing's body, and only then did he go to tear off the cloth on Yang Yi's mouth and slowly untie it for him.
Wei Yunqing got up and rubbed the red marks on his body, and cautiously leaned out.
At this moment, the sky is dark, but the inside and outside of the Qianqing Palace are brightly lit. No one was watching the outer room, but footsteps could be heard outside the palace, and it was clear that they were guarding outside.
What Wei Yunqing said to the waiter just now was actually not all lies. Regarding Zheng Xiang's rebellion this time, Wei Yunqing felt that he was just messing around. If a eunuch wants to succeed in rebellion, it is simply wishful thinking. At most, Zheng Xiang can occupy the palace and kill Yang Yi, and it is impossible for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the royal family to allow Zheng Xiang, a eunuch, to rob the Great Liang River. And Da Liang's military power is not in Zheng Xiang's hands, if he wants to win the throne by force, it is really far away! If she herself is really Yang Yi's concubine and is pregnant with his child, maybe she can succeed in playing a coup d'Γ©tat, but Zheng Xiang will never succeed, his identity determines that he is not right, without the support of public opinion, and he doesn't even have troops, let alone soldiers.
It's just that, judging from just now, Zheng Xiang seems to be quite confident in his rebellious move, and she can only attribute it to the inexplicable arrogance created by the narrow vision of a eunuch. But no matter whether he is narrow-minded or not, whether he can succeed in the future, if he doesn't want to save himself, she and Yang Yi will definitely have to die first.
The trio soon regained their freedom and wondered how to escape.
"It's probably impossible for us to escape together." Wei Yunqing frowned and thought, "There is a group of people watching outside, we can't escape." β
If they don't escape from the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible, the ropes on their bodies will be untied in vain.
"How's that for good?" Cao Jun was so anxious that his forehead sweated, and he suddenly said, "It's better to let the slaves and maids be bait and lure them away!" β
"I'm afraid it's useless to lead away." Wei Yunqing's expression was solemn, "Zheng Xiang is afraid that he has already controlled the entire palace at this time. β
"Well, that's good!" Cao Jun was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
Yang Yi thought about it for a long time, and then made up his mind: "Sister Yunqing, I'll go outside to persuade them to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, you take this opportunity to escape from the back first!" β
According to Yang Yi's meaning, he attracted the attention of those guards in front and let Wei Yunqing run from the other direction.
"What's the use of me running away?" Wei Yunqing shook his head, she was just incidental, the only person Zheng Xiang really cared about was Yang Yi, he was the orthodox heir of the Liang royal family, even if he didn't kill him, it would be useful to keep it. It's like her, but she's just an imperial concubine, and it's not qualified to threaten the ministers of the former court.
Yang Yi lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry Sister Yunqing, it's all my fault...... I shouldn't have re-used Zheng Xiang, I didn't know he was so bold as to ......"
"It's useless to talk about that now." Wei Yunqing interrupted him and said mercilessly, "I told you to stay away from Zheng Xiang a long time ago, you don't believe it, now that this kind of thing happens, you can naturally only blame yourself." But instead of blaming yourself, think about how to get through the current situation. If we can't get by, we're all dead. β
Yang Yi's face turned red when Wei Yunqing said it, and he couldn't refute it. Cao Jun listened silently, looking at his nose and nose, but he didn't hear it.
"Let's find a place to hide first, in case Zheng Xiang comes back and sees no one here, maybe he thinks that we have all escaped." After thinking about it for a while, Wei Yunqing had to come up with a solution that was not a solution, "But remember, no matter what happens outside for a while, you can't come out by yourself." Being able to hide for a while is a moment. β
"Good!" Yang Yi nodded vigorously, where did he dare to mess around with bad things again?
Cao Jun also responded in a row, and now there is no other way but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
At that moment, the three of them rummaged through the way, and after making a trade-off, they found three hiding places and hid in them respectively, Wei Yunqing finally reminded him again, no matter what situation he encountered, don't take the initiative to stand up.
Yang Yi hid behind the curtain at the bottom of the bed, the bed was against the wall, and the curtain on the other side of the wall kept hanging to the ground, Yang Yi was lying there, even if someone went to the bottom of the bed, they might not be able to see the person hiding behind him in a dim sight, which was the safest place. Cao Jun hid in the closet, lying sideways, covered with some clothes, and was quite hidden. Wei Yunqing hid in a space formed by a large vase and cupboard, she regretted that she didn't know how to shrink her bones, otherwise she would hide in a vase.
After everyone around quieted down and got through the initial tension, Wei Yunqing couldn't help but feel a little absurd. At the moment of life and death, they are playing hide and seek, which is child's play...... It's not such a child's play, and they can't do anything else.
I don't know how long it took, the waiter who had been unconscious by Wei Yunqing woke up, and his confused vision swept away the empty room, his pupils shrank, and he immediately jumped up, shouting as he ran: "Oh no, the emperor is gone!" β
The shouts of the chamberlain startled a great commotion, and there was a rush of soldiers outside.
Wei Yunqing listened carefully, if all the people outside left to look for them, they should hurry up and escape. It's a pity that although there is chaos outside, there are still many people, and if they go out now, they will fall into the net.
After a while, Zheng Xiang hurried over, and Wei Yunqing could hear Zheng Xiang's roar outside: "Are you eating dry rice?" You can't stand the three people who are tied up like zongzi? What use do I want from you! β
I only heard a miserable scream outside, and Wei Yunqing's body trembled, and then Zheng Xiang's angry voice: "They won't be able to run far, search for me!" β
Wei Yunqing cheered him up in his heart: Quick! Send more people out to search! Search them all!
She knew that Zheng Xiang was mad at the fact that they had escaped temporarily, and she was afraid that it would not be long before he came back to his senses, so she hoped that when he lost his mind, he could quickly transfer everyone away, so that they could have a chance to escape.
However, to Wei Yunqing's great disappointment, after Zheng Xiang sent people out to search, he took a few people back to the Qianqing Palace.
Looking at the ropes scattered all over the ground, Zheng Xiang smashed a large decorative porcelain basin with all his might, and said angrily: "It's really a thing that is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, so it can still let them run!" I'm mad at our family! β
"Gong Zheng is angry, this palace is ours, and those three people will not be able to run far." Someone beside him reassured.
Although Zheng Xiang understood this principle, he was still angry: "Our family has been planning for so long, if it is bad for him, I will definitely destroy his nine clans and let him die without a whole body!" β
Wei Yunqing silently mocked in his heart, you haven't become the emperor yet, so you are thinking about the destruction of the Nine Clans? Come to think of it, she hid a little deeper.
"Gonggong Zheng, the slave maid thinks this matter is too strange." Someone around Zheng Xiang was puzzled, "There are so many people guarding outside, why did they let them escape?" β
Wei Yunqing, who was hiding in the shadows, chuckled in his heart.
Zheng Xiang's face turned pale, narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "You mean...... Did he let people go? He was a little annoyed now that he had done it too quickly, otherwise he would have been tortured.
"The slave doesn't think so, even if he lets people go, there are still so many people watching outside, how can he disappear quietly?" The man said again.
Wei Yunqing suddenly remembered that the owner of this voice was Xu Gui'er, when she first entered the palace, he was the one who came to guide her around the palace, at that time she still thought that this person was very clever, but now she hopes that he will not be so smart......
"Xu Gui'er, what do you mean by this?" Zheng Xiang was annoyed by the escape of Wei Yunqing and the others, so naturally he didn't have time to play dumb riddles with Xu Guier.
Xu Gui'er hurriedly said: "The slave maid is ...... A few of them might still be in this house! β
Zheng Xiang was stunned for a moment, looked around, and immediately said, "You guys, search for me!" β
As soon as he heard this, Wei Yunqing knew that their hide-and-seek journey was over. In the midst of lightning and fire, she jumped out of her hiding place and ran towards the door like an arrow from a string. There were not many people brought in by Zheng Xiang, Wei Yunqing escaped them in three or two clicks, and fled all the way to the gate of Qianqing Palace.
However, after all, two fists were invincible to four hands, and she was stopped by two brocade guards guarding outside, and Zheng Xiang then chased after her, glaring at her angrily and said: "Our family knows that you are a cunning slut, and I almost deceived you!" β
Wei Yunqing only sighed in her heart, she was arrested, Yang Yi and Cao Jun were not far away, it seemed that they would not be able to pass this hurdle after all.
"If it weren't for Xu Gui'er, you would still be in the dark at the moment!" Seeing that there was no room for change, Wei Yunqing sneered and was not polite.
"You're hardened now! I'll see if you can laugh later! Zheng Xiang shouted angrily.
Wei Yunqing was about to talk back, when an attendant suddenly rushed in and shouted in a panic: "Gonggong Zheng is not good, our people, our people have been scattered!" β
"What?" Zheng Xiang's face changed greatly, "Tell me clearly!" β
The chamberlain shouted in a panic: "Father-in-law Hui, yes, it's General Yan!" He, he led people into the palace! Now the front is no longer defensible! β
As he was talking, there was a shout of killing in front of him, and Zheng Xiang suddenly looked up, his face pale. 166 Reading Network
