Chapter 42: Dilemma
When the three of them arrived at the east gate, it was almost dawn, and they could barely be regarded as "returning to the palace before dark".
But this time the entry into the palace was not so smooth.
Because after the year, the forbidden army adjusted the change of defense system in Miyagi. After the time passed, the guards at the palace gate changed from Li Baoquan's left guard to Luo Zichang's right guard.
Not only did Ye Tianhuai look at the face, but even Li Baoquan felt that the face was raw.
If it was usual, it would be nothing, and no one dared to stop the emperor and the imperial chief from entering the palace. But this time was different, they also brought Qin Baozhu who entered the palace for the first time.
Sure enough, the guards stopped Qin Baozhu.
"Name." The Praetorian Guard asked, as usual.
"Chen Lan."
"Tickets."
Qin Baozhu stood still and did not move.
Ye Qianhuai said: "The people I want to bring into the palace also have to be investigated in such detail?" β
The janissary looked at the clothes and should be the captain of a team, he glanced at Ye Tianhuai, his expression was cold, and said: "Recently, Beijing has not been peaceful, the forbidden army has issued a clear order, all those who enter the palace must verify their identities, please Your Majesty do not embarrass the general." β
Ye Tianhuai felt a wave of anger in her heart, she knew that Gu Shihai didn't take her as an emperor seriously, but she didn't expect that even a six-rank lieutenant under him would dare to treat her sideways.
She hadn't been angry for many days, and the last time she was angry was when she had an argument with Gu Shihai in Jingshou Palace.
Now it's because of his men.
This Gu Shihai is really angry.
"What's your name?" Ye Qianhuai frowned and asked.
The captain gave a standard military salute and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the captain of the 12th Guards of the Right Guard Outpost of the last general, Chu Dingguo." β
Ye Tianhuai suddenly grabbed Qin Baozhu's wrist and said, "Chu Dingguo, I guarantee her personality, she is absolutely not suspicious. Are you still going to have to struggle with her? β
Men and women do not kiss each other. Ye Qianhuai's move made the people around him look sideways.
Ye Tianhuai had already looked at it in her heart, if it was not good for the palace maid, she would give Qin Baozhu a lower-grade title.
Clinker, that Chu Dingguo didn't eat soft and hard, and said officially: "Since it is a person who wants to follow His Majesty, it is even more necessary to investigate it thoroughly, so as not to get out of the spies." β
After speaking, he glanced at the subordinates beside him, and the two immediately stepped forward and couldn't help but take Qin Baozhu away.
Ye Tianhuai was anxious in his heart. She whispered to Li Baoquan: "You go to the palace first and bring your people." β
Li Baoquan nodded and walked into the palace quickly.
Ye Tianhuai said to Chu Dingguo: "Since it is my person, how do you want to investigate, I am watching from the side." β
After speaking, she followed the two guards who escorted Qin Baozhu.
Seeing that she was so persistent, Chu Dingguo immediately followed, and walked all the way to the outside of a hut in the outpost, Qin Baozhu was brought in by the two, but the door of the house was closed in front of Ye Tianhuai's eyes.
"Your Majesty stays." Chu Dingguo stopped Ye Tianhuai.
He was born tall, and with such a stop, Ye Qianhuai couldn't surpass half a step.
"Get out of the way." Ye Tianhuai said sharply.
"The last will not obey." He said it with all his might.
Ye Tianhuai was even more angry in his heart, but he was helpless, so he could only hope that Li Baoquan would bring someone over soon.
However, half a quarter of time passed, and Li Baoquan was nowhere to be seen. Under the empty palace walls, only Ye Tianhuai and Chu Dingguo confronted each other.
At this moment, a woman's muffled snort of pain suddenly came from the room.
It was Qin Baozhu's voice.
Ye Tianhuai's heart became even more anxious.
She had just said those impassioned words to Qin Baozhu half an hour ago, but she didn't expect that bringing her into the palace would harm her life.
Why hasn't Li Baoquan come yet? Ye Qian said in his heart, he couldn't wait any longer.
The person in front of him, like Gu Shihai, was not afraid of Ye Tianhuai's majesty at all, and was not even afraid of any of her actions, her coercion and temptation were useless.
An electric light flashed in Ye Tianhuai's mind.
She suddenly remembered what Lu Yanchen had said to herβ"Elder Gu Ge will not hurt His Majesty's life." At least for now, he would never do that. β
Ye Tianhuai made a decision in his heart.
She pressed the knife on her side with her right hand, and pulled the knife out of the sheath cleanly with her backhand, and then she flipped her wrist, and the tip of the knife pointed straight at Chu Dingguo.
Chu Dingguo was slightly stunned, but there was no fear in his eyes, and said: "Weichen is the leader of the Xingrui fifteen-year martial arts school, even if he is bare-handed, he is not afraid of the sword in His Majesty's hands. Please Your Majesty, don't ask for your own suffering. β
"Are you really not afraid?" Ye Tianhuai put the knife horizontally on his neck, his eyes were sharp, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Let her go." β
They were not afraid of her. But they were afraid of her death.
Chu Dingguo looked at the waist knife that Ye Qian held around his neck, and subconsciously pressed the long sword on his side.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" He stared cautiously at the mad emperor in front of him.
Ye Tianhuai smiled helplessly: "I, the emperor, deserve to be bored, anyone can ride on my neck." Now it's hard to get a confidante and talk about it, but I see that I'm going to die here. Chu Dingguo, what do you mean by saying that I deserve the whole emperor? β
With that, her knife was embedded in the flesh for a few more minutes, and thin blood streaks flowed down her white neckline.
Chu Dingguo panicked instantly, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, don't get excited. β
Ye Tianhuai looked at him with a dead heart, but the long knife in his hand did not mean to take it down.
The two were stalemate for a while, Chu Dingguo stood up and pushed open the door behind him, and after a while, Qin Baozhu came out behind the two guards.
She didn't seem to be in trouble, but her left hand was covering her right arm, and it seemed that her right arm was out of force.
The two guards came out, and when they saw Ye Tianhuai's appearance, they immediately knelt down in shock, while Qin Baozhu leaned against the door of the house, his face pale in shock.
On the contrary, how many people have seen the scene of the emperor killing himself in front of him?
"Alain, come here." Ye Qianhuai's voice was unexpectedly calm.
A gust of night wind blew, and the two strands of broken hair scattered in front of Ye Tianhuai's forehead swept her eyelashes, but she didn't even blink her eyes.
Qin Baozhu walked up to Ye Tianhuai's side and looked at the blood on the side of her neck with some concern.
Ye Qianhuai put down the knife at this time, put the knife into the sheath, and said, "You remember, I have the same fate as her." β
After speaking, she took Qin Baozhu and walked towards Jingshou Palace.
"Your Majesty......"
As soon as Qin Baozhu spoke, he was interrupted by Ye Tianhuai's blue face: "Let's talk about it when I go back to the palace." This is not the place to talk. β
The two walked side by side, and in the moonlight, the two shadows were stretched for a long time.
Walking all the way to the east of the door, Ye Tianhuai saw Li Baoquan leading a team of men and horses to argue with the right guard guarding the door from a distance.
Li Baoquan's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw Ye Tianhuai walking from a distance with Qin Baozhu, and he immediately trotted up to meet him.
Seeing Ye Tianhuai's appearance, Li Baoquan exclaimed: "Your Majesty ......"
Ye Tianhuai interrupted him and ordered: "Go to the Tai Hospital to pass Zhou Shouyi and ask him to go to Jingshou Palace immediately." She glanced at Qin Baozhu beside her, and added, "Bring the wound medicine." β
Li Baoquan responded and left.
Ye Tianhuai walked to the east door, and the left and right guards who were arguing on both sides had lost their leaders at this time and were looking at each other.
In the group of people brought by Li Baoquan, the first kid Ye Qianhuai looked familiar, she thought about it carefully, wasn't it the guard who usually guarded the gate of Jingshou Palace? The waist knife she was carrying at this time was still his.
She walked up to the guard, untied the knife from her waist, handed it to him, and said, "I have run out of your sword." β
The guard raised his head to look at Ye Tianhuai, and when he saw the blood on her neck, his expression trembled.
Ye Tianhuai raised his hand and wiped it on his neck, and after a glance, there was not much blood.
She smiled at the guard, "The knife is pretty handy." β
After speaking, she glanced coldly at the right guard guarding the door, and they all looked at Ye Tianhuai, with fear and awe in their eyes.
Ye Qianhuai didn't speak, and left with Li Baoquan's people.
