Without Father-in-law Yu serving by the emperor's side, the emperor ate the soothing prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor Xu, so no one woke him up to report that he held the token of the eldest princess of Sheng'an and followed the guards of the city gate to block the gate of the capital at midnight.

Not long after Midnight led people to guard the city, a team of men and horses came to the gate of the city, and Midnight looked up and saw that it was King Ryan.

Midnight was surprised, "Lord Wang? Are you going out of town late at night? ”

King Ryan nodded, "This king is going to the Big Buddha Temple to investigate the case." ”

Midnight resolutely adhered to Zhou Gu's orders, but under the banner of the eldest princess of Sheng'an, "Can the prince go again tomorrow?" Our eldest princess is also investigating the case, and today she was assassinated in the palace with the queen's mother, and the eldest princess has a new clue, and ordered her subordinates to come to the city gate, from now on, no one is allowed to go out of the city unless His Majesty decrees. ”

He paused, "The prince is no exception. ”

Ryan Wang was stunned, "This ......"

He wanted to say that this king also has an important case to investigate, if Ming'er goes to the Big Buddha Temple again, I'm afraid it's too late, but in the middle of the night holding the token of the eldest princess of Sheng'an, there must be a reason, he struggled for a moment, "What if this king invites the prince's will?" ”

Midnight thought that the prince didn't explain this, but if it was the prince's prince's will, it should be no problem, after all, the prince and the Protector's Mansion were on the same line, if he really let King Ruian out of Beijing, it would be his own decision, so he nodded, "It's okay." ”

King Ryan was not embarrassed for midnight, and immediately turned the horse's head, "It's okay, this king will go to the East Palace." ”

When King Ryan arrived at the East Palace, he was led to the prince's study.

Yan Shen had already lost several games of chess, and he was killed by Yan Echo without leaving a piece of armor, he was extremely helpless, thinking that he was very honored to experience the nature of the third brother today?

Yan Shen almost regretted staying in the East Palace to accompany him.

Hearing that King Ryan was coming, Yan Shen asked in a low voice, "Third brother, should I avoid it?" ”

Yan Echo shook his head, "No need. ”

Ryan Wang is a smart man.

After King Ryan came, he saw that there was a fourth prince Yan Shen in the prince's study, he was surprised in his heart, thinking that the four princes were smart and begged to come to the prince.

After he saw the salute, he explained to Yan Echo that he had been stopped at the city gate.

Yan Echo already knew that when Zhou Gu was doing this, although he did not send someone to ask him, but made his own opinion, but after many years of reading tacit understanding, he also understood what Zhou Gu meant, if the emperor pursued this matter, he would not be involved as a prince, he felt that it was good, lest the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the capital follow out.

He said to King Ryan: "Is the prince really in a hurry? ”

King Ruian glanced at Yan Shen, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this king returned to his house, and checked the file of the Big Buddha Temple again, after thinking about it, he still felt that there was something wrong with the Big Buddha Temple, and I was afraid that there was something untrue." Regarding Concubine Li's case, this king feels that he is afraid that there will be trouble after closing the case like this. ”

Yan Echo nodded, "That's what the prince said." ”

He asked, "How many people does the prince bring?" The wounds on your body have not been healed, so you have to be careful. ”

I agreed.

King Ryan said: "This king has a hundred people." ”

Yan Echo pondered for a moment, "It's not enough, go to Zhou Gu to borrow half of the Jingwei of the Protector Mansion!" ”

didn't say that he should go back to King Ryan and bring more manpower.

King Ryan remembered that he was guarding the city gate with a large number of people at midnight, and he was a little uncertain, so he asked tentatively: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that this king's trip is dangerous?" ”

"The night is dark, and the safety of the prince is also extremely important." After Yan echoed and said, he instructed Xiao Quanzi, "You follow the prince to talk to Zhou Gu, after Zhou Gu agrees, you also follow the prince to the Big Buddha Temple, if you meet with your own people in the Big Buddha Temple, you will say that the prince went to the Big Buddha Temple, it is to ask for Lone's will." ”

Xiao Quanzi blinked, "Yes." ”

King Ryan also felt that the killer he encountered last time was really powerful, and this time it was so late at night, maybe someone would dare to do it to him again. In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that his own people met, could it be that Su Rong and Ye Guixue also went to the Big Buddha Temple? It's quite possible. However, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, it is better for him to borrow half of Zhou Gu's Jingwei, if something really happens, there is also the East Palace and the Protector Mansion with him, it is better than taking a large number of people from the Ruian Palace out of Beijing alone.

So, King Ryan took his leave, left the East Palace, and went to the Protector's Mansion.

Zhou Gu couldn't sleep, turned off the lights, and lay on the bed.

Hearing that King Ryan was coming, he spread the word at the door, and wanted to borrow half of Jingwei to go out of the city, accompanied by the father-in-law of Xiao Quanzi of the East Palace, Zhou Gu sat up, didn't say a word, and waved his hand, "Go and spread the word to Midnight, transfer half of the manpower, and bring King Ryan out of the city." ”

There is the will of Yan Echo, and he agrees happily.

So, King Ryan turned back to the city gate again, and transferred half of the Jingwei to King Ryan in the middle of the night, and King Ryan went out of the city smoothly.

After King Ryan left, there was no movement at the gates, and no one left the city.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind blew and thought to himself, King Ruian really invited the prince's will, and he should be on the same line as the East Palace, as for the rest of the people, no one left the city, because he was guarding the city gate like a wooden stake, and he didn't dare to be afraid of being exposed and scared back, or did his son-in-law think too much, in fact, everyone is very responsible now?

At least the eldest prince's faction, the eldest princess was locked up in the dungeon of the Ruian Palace, and the eldest prince was trapped in the palace by the Imperial Forest Army, which is really honest. Although the second prince is now only involved in a concubine, he should not dare to act rashly. The four princes took refuge with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As for the rest of the people, no one came to force them out of the city, and it was always a good thing for him not to have to fight with people.

Su Rong didn't know that after she left the capital, Zhou Gu sent all his people to guard the city gate with the captain who guarded the city.

After leaving the city, the carriage drove in the direction of the Big Buddha Temple, because the eagle's beak cliff is ten miles behind the Big Buddha Temple.

Su Rong said: "I chatted with Qin Luan, the daughter of Cheng Qin Yuan in the former imperial history, in the East Palace today, it is said that before the Qin family's accident, Mrs. Qin had been to the Big Buddha Temple, so I think King Ruian is afraid that he has not dug deep into the hidden things hidden in the Big Buddha Temple." The eagle's beak cliff is ten miles away from the Big Buddha Temple, not far away, belongs to the range of the mountains behind the Big Buddha Temple, I am afraid that it is inseparable from the Big Buddha Temple. ”

Ye Guixue thought thoughtfully, "If the location of the gold collection in the eagle's beak cliff is inseparable from the Big Buddha Temple, then the big Buddha temple is afraid that it will not be clean." The abbot is even more involved. ”

"Yes." Su Rong nodded, "So, first send a team of people to block the Big Buddha Temple." ”

Returning to the snow at night, "From all the people brought today, transfer out a hundred people, and hold the token of the prince of the East Palace." ”

Su Rong also had this plan, glanced at Feng Ling, Feng Ling immediately jumped out of the carriage, and together with Yun Ze, Yin Yue, and the secret guards of the four princes, each team named twenty-five secret guards, and went to the Big Buddha Temple in advance.
