Outside the hall, the snow was falling, and the Funing Gate was still extinguishing the fire.

With a clang, the door to the inner sanctum opened and closed again.

Fu Jiuqu looked at Li Fu, who looked anxious, and said coldly: "Knowing that the official family is sick and disobedient, they are noisy outside, and their hearts can be punished. Gonggong Li, the official family has issued an edict, and it is forbidden to quarrel in the Funing Palace, and the violators will be waiting for the court staff."

Li Fu sighed and looked at him without saying a word.

Fu Jiuqu only heard it, and continued: "Order the palace attendants to extinguish the fire within two quarters of an hour, and the violators will wait with the court staff."

"Ah...... This, this...... Is the villain coming?"

"It's not you. Is it me?" Fu Jiuqu looked at him, raised his chin, "Back up."

Li Fu pursed his lips and straightened his back.

"That's right." Fu Jiuqu said, "Just go out like this, put the shelf up, and think about how Yang Huaimin was on an errand before? Yes, that's it. Be louder and let them all get out of here."

Li Fu looked at him bitterly.

With a bend of his back, the whole person collapsed again: "Villain, villain...... Don't dare ......."

Fu Jiuqu squinted his eyes, "The official commands, don't you dare? Father-in-law wants to be a handyman for the rest of his life? Don't you want to share a little more for the official family?"

"The villain thinks about it, but it's ......."

Fu Jiuqu turned sideways, opened the door of the inner hall, and said lightly, "Why don't you go in and ask the official?"

Zhao Zhen's slight cough came from the hall.

「…… Go...... Spread the word of the word...... Let them ...... Shut up...... Get out of the Funing Palace...... I...... Not dead yet......

Li Fu's face turned a little pale, and he saluted, "Yes, villain, villain leader."

··

Watching Li Fu go out crookedly, Fu Jiuqu exchanged a look with the guards guarding the door.

"You cover me."

"Understood." The guard said, "Commander Wei will answer at Donghua Gate."

The Imperial City Division is near Donghua Gate, and it is most convenient to leave from there. However, if anyone really noticed that he had entered the capital, Donghua Gate was also the most dangerous place.

Fu Jiuqu shook his head, "I'll leave from Xihua Gate."

··

The palace is heavily guarded, from Daqing Hall to Funing Palace, full of guards, and birds can't fly out.

Fu Jiuqu followed the guard and walked out, and when he passed the corridor outside the Imperial Palace, there was a sudden burst of footsteps in front of him, and the armor and waist knife rubbed a harsh sound in the dark night, and when he heard it, he knew that there were a lot of people.

The guard and Fu Jiuqu glanced at each other.

"What should I do?"

Fu Jiuqu: "Stand back!"

Before the voice fell, a soft shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Kunning Palace, who is in front of you? Don't shy away from it yet!"

Guard: "......"

In front was a large number of forbidden troops who went to fight the fire, and behind them was Empress Cao's guard of honor. Caught on both sides, they have nowhere to run.

Nervousness is like a hook tearing at people's hearts.

Plop, plop!

The guard clenched his fists, as if he had been immobilized, and when he saw the crowd coming slowly, his forehead was sweating, and he didn't move until his arm was grabbed by Fu Jiuqu and retreated to a dim corner against the wall.

Click, click, the sound of footsteps is clear to the ear.

There was a strong sense of low pressure in the air.

The guards stared at the ground, at their shoes, and wanted to shrink into the cracks in the ground.

Fu Jiuqu stood against the wall, his fingers picking at a stone, and with a fierce force, he threw it in the direction of Empress Cao.

"Ahh

A palanquin man staggered two steps amid the screams, and his body fell forward.

The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and a group of people screamed and shouted "saint".

Shoulder stopped.

The group of forbidden soldiers on the opposite side were also frightened enough when they heard the sound. The man at the head rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and before the man arrived, the voice had arrived.

"Saint!"

"Is the saint alright?"

That voice was Cao Yi.

"I'm fine." When her shoulders were tilted forward, Queen Cao held on to the handle, and a palace maid came to hug her, and the palanquin man did not fall to the ground instantly, so she was not injured, but was startled by the sudden accident.

"What's the matter with you?"

Cao Yi scolded the sedan chair man with a cold face.

"If you fall to the saint, how many lives do you have enough to pay?"

The man clutched his injured thigh and begged for mercy.

"The villain walked well, I don't know if he was hit by something......

Before the man's voice fell, Cao Yi's eyes had already caught that on the edge of the corridor on the palace wall, there was a long figure standing on the side of the forbidden army, with his head down, still a sharp figure in the crowd.

He was hidden in the darkness, and he didn't pay much attention to it. But the lights suddenly lit up in the courtyard of the Imperial Palace, and the light shone from the other end of the palace wall, just enveloping him who was standing on the side.

As soon as the fire lit up, everyone looked at it in unison.

The man seemed to be unable to stand the direct fire, turned sideways, and raised his sleeves to hide his face.

Someone in the Imperial Hall was asking, "What's going on outside?"

Cao Yijun's face changed slightly, and he replied, "It's okay, the sage's palanquin man kicked his foot. Funing Hall walks the water, you are careful of the candles—"

The people inside responded, and the lights faded away.

Seeing that the man was hiding behind the forbidden army again, Cao Yi saluted Queen Cao.

"It's been a long time since the fire in the Funing Hall burned, didn't the saint go to see the official house?"

If you go to the Funing Temple, you have to turn around.

Empress Cao looked at him quietly and showed a faint smile.

"Fukang just sent someone to say that the abdominal pain was like a twist, and I passed the imperial doctor, and I was not very relieved. I'm going to go over and have a look......

Cao Yi smiled, "The eldest princess has a consultation with the imperial doctor, so I think it's okay. This place is not far from the Funing Palace, why don't my sister go with me, so it is important to visit the official's house?"

Empress Cao's gaze swept over and sighed for no reason.

"No, I'm not going. They didn't want to see me when they wanted to come to the official house. It's important to put out the fire, you can take someone first."

Cao Yi's lips moved, and under Empress Cao's sharp gaze, a handsome face flushed slightly, and he slowly lowered his head, "I carry a sedan chair for the saint."

The night was dark, and the cold air in the long corridor was overwhelming.

A gust of wind blew, blowing Empress Cao's clothes erratically, and the hairpin rings in her hair collided slightly in the wind, making a few Qingyue tinkling sounds.

Her eyes crossed the crowd and closed nonchalantly.

"That's it. I'll go with you to the Funing Temple."

Cao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, saluted, walked to the shoulder chariot, replaced the injured sedan chair driver, lifted the shoulder chariot, and waved vigorously at the group of forbidden soldiers. qδ

"You all follow. Be fast!"

The Praetorian Army replied, "Yes."

The group turned around and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The guard's body weakened, and the whole person fell on the palace wall, touching his beating heart, and let out a long breath, "The king of the county, you can scare your subordinates to death."

Fu Jiuqu glanced at the crowd in the distance, "Let's go."

··

Coming out of Xihua Gate, Fu Jiuqu went back to the Eldest Princess's Mansion again, and it was already early in the morning.

The snow fell a little heavier, and Cheng Cang waited anxiously outside the mansion alone, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him coming.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine." Fu Jiuqu glanced at him and climbed over the wall.

Going back to his own house and being a thief is something Fu Jiuqu never thought about before.

He did not return to the Qu Pavilion, but went to Fu'an Yuan.

At this point, Zhao Yuqing had already fallen asleep, he didn't have hope, he just wanted to see his mother and leave, but he didn't expect that the red lanterns hanging on the eaves during the New Year's Festival were still on, and the lights in the room had not been extinguished, and the thin figure of his mother was revealed on the window paper.

Fu Jiuqu's heart was sour, and he walked to the window and knocked lightly.

"Mother, the unfilial son has come back to see you."

The door creaked open, and the long wind swept up Zhao Yuqing's body, and she hurriedly ran over with the support of Mrs. Qian, and saw her son standing in the snowstorm, tears in her eyes, crying and laughing.

"You son of a, why did you come back? Eleven, did you leave her and Xianyu in Yangzhou? You, how dare you? Do you know how much of a sin it is to return to Beijing without an edict?"

If you want to say that you are bullying the king, if you are small, at least you will leave your post without permission.

Fu Jiuqu didn't think so, and laughed brokenly.

"It's okay. It's a big deal to depose again."

Zhao Yuqing coughed twice, kept slapping the snow foam falling on his body, and then turned around and called Mrs. Qian, "Go get some hot water to wash the ninth master."

Mrs. Qian's eyes were stained with tears, her face was full of smiles, and she kept responding.

Zhao Yuqing said again: "You go in person, don't alarm others."

Mrs. Qian nodded, "The villain understands, understands. Ninth Master, sit down in the warm pavilion, look at this freezing, your face is white."

Fu Jiuqu helped Zhao Yuqing to walk inside, and answered her questions one after another respectfully. Zhao Yuqing's face was full of joy of reunion after a long absence, and her eyes fell on her son's face and she was reluctant to move away.

However, when the door was closed, the mother immediately pulled down her face.

"Get down on your knees!"

Fu Jiuqu was stunned, "Mother?"

Zhao Yuqing's face was slightly gloomy, "Kneel!"

Fu Jiuqu knelt down silently and looked up at his mother's appearance.

"The child is unfilial, and the mother is tired......

"Humph!" Zhao Yuqing sneered: "I eat and live well, and my life is very comfortable, what are you tired of?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Fu Jiuqu coldly, "I think you're tired, right? I think that Mei Niangzi has made you bothered to work hard, look at you thin, and people are also dark, is Eleven not wanting you, and I don't care about you......

Fu Jiuqu: ......
