The night was dark.

The ink color has long stained the clouds in the sky, but it can't dye through the Ganquan Palace on the ground.

In the garden of Ganquan Palace, the unique beast statue cannot be illuminated in detail under the sparse flame halo.

You can only see the outline and lines, but you can't see the smooth stone surface, whether it has become a fine animal hair.

Under such light and darkness, it seems that all these statues have broken the stone carving seal at night and come back to life from the earth.

Standing on the road of Ganquan Palace was not the official on duty in Xianyang Palace, but the guards brought out by Zhao Ji from Yong.

Although these guards were dressed in Lang official attire, they were not subject to Lang Zhong's order, and only obeyed Zhao Ji's orders.

They stood straight, like a god who watched over a resurrected beast.

The First Emperor, who had fallen asleep and was woken up.

Only led Zhang Han and two guards of Gai Nie to Ganquan Palace with three city defense troops.

Stand outside Ganquan Palace.

Through the white veil covering the window lattice, the First Emperor could clearly see the candlelight, which was three times brighter than the bedtime candlelight.

It was late at night, and the lights in Ganquan Palace were still bright.

The face of the First Emperor.

It's calmer.

Waving his hand to wave away the people of the palace, the first emperor turned his index finger upside down and knocked on the gorgeous door of Ganquan Palace.

The palace door was vigorously pulled open from within, and a slightly frightened maid showed her face.

The moment she saw the First Emperor, the maid's body shook instantly, and then she lowered her eyebrows.

"Meet Your Majesty."

The First Emperor stood still, did not immediately go inside, and looked through the open door at the scene inside the Ganquan Palace.

"You're afraid of me."

The maid did not retort, and took two steps back to the side.

She half-bowed her head.

If the First Emperor's gaze fell on her, he could just see the even more panicked look on her face.

"The villain is blessed, and he is in awe."

"Go and inform the Queen Mother, I'm here."

"Yui."

The maid bowed her head in response and walked towards Zhao Ji's dormitory palace located near the Ganquan Palace.

The footsteps are rhythmic and the frequency is steady.

Soon, the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard from the inside out.

Another maid, who was exactly the same as the maid who opened the door, trotted to the first emperor, her voice a little panting.

"The Queen Mother, please let Your Majesty in."

The First Emperor half-turned his head.

To Gai Nie, Zhang Han said: "You are waiting outside, no one is allowed to enter, and no one is allowed to leave."

"Yui."

Zhang Han agreed.

Gai Nie didn't respond, dragged the lower half of his blood-colored white clothes and said, "Your Majesty can't get out of the eyes of the ministers."

"I'm safe, just as safe as I am in Chang'an Jun's Mansion, wait."

"Nie ......"

"If you don't obey the order, go back to Chang'an Junfu."

The First Emperor turned his head and stepped inside, followed by the handmaidens who followed suit.

Gai Nie's face was numb, and he was silent at the back of the First Emperor.

It wasn't until the figure of the First Emperor gradually became invisible that he said, "Only."

Gai Nie, Zhang Han closed the door of Ganquan Palace.

The two of them stood in front of the gate of Ganquan Palace like two door gods.

The three city defense troops who had not been arranged did not dare to come out, they were honest and stood beside Gai Nie and Zhang Han with a dead heart.

They didn't know why this incident alarmed the First Emperor, they didn't know why they were taken to the Empress Dowager Zhao's bedroom, and they also didn't know what Empress Dowager Zhao's surname was.

They prayed in their hearts that they would survive tonight.

They know.

It's extravagant hope.

They all experienced the slaughter at the gate of Xianyang City.

Zhao Ji brought a convoy of guards from Yongdi, but because of the loss of control of a convoy guard, all of them died under the bronze Changge of their city defense army.

Yesterday's convoy guards, today's city defense army.

What's the difference? Yes.

What is the difference? Not too.

The First Emperor stepped into the Ganquan Palace, with an old sword with an old scabbard pinned to his waist.

After walking more than a dozen steps in Ganquan Palace, all I saw were maids, and there was no eunuch.

Not far ahead is the palace of Empress Dowager Zhao.

In front of the palace gate, Zhao Ji wears a phoenix crown, holds it with both hands, and puts it on her waist in front of her, dignified and virtuous.

On the left and right sides of the Empress Dowager Zhao, there are more than a dozen maids from Ganquan Palace, none of these women are palace maids in Xianyang Palace, all of them are brought back by Zhao Ji from Yong.

When the First Emperor was three steps in front of him, Zhao Ji bowed slightly and lowered his eyes.

"Meet Your Majesty."

The maid who opened the door for the First Emperor stood behind Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji's voice fell, and the maid who opened the door bowed halfway, and even all the maids bowed halfway.

"Meet Your Majesty."

More than a dozen maids spoke in unison, their voices were very neat, and there were not many trills.

The First Emperor glanced at his biological mother.

Silently, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and then calmed.

He lowered his head, let out a soft "um", pushed open the door of the palace, and was the first to enter the palace.

"They're all waiting outside."

Zhao Ji ordered casually.

A dozen maids should claim "only".

Zhao Ji entered the palace.

Before entering, the maid who rushed to open the door nodded.

After Zhao Ji entered the palace, the maid who opened the door walked quickly towards the Ganquan Palace.

She walked quickly, quickly, as if she was being chased by something.

As she walked, she ran.

His hands swayed from side to side, and his face was as pale as snow.

Running to the gate of Ganquan Palace, she grabbed the gate of Ganquan Palace with her hands that were not stained with dust, and pulled it violently.

It wasn't the guards she was familiar with who had been trained by Yu Teng in Zhao Di to greet her.

It's Gai Nie, who is dressed in white and has blood left.

It is Zhang Han with murderous intent on his face.

"Your Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Zhang Han squinted at the maid and warned coldly.

The maid calmed her mind and said coldly: "The Queen Mother's old illness has recurred, and she ordered me to go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to grab medicine and get out of the way!"

Zhang Han's brows furrowed.

He did not believe the words of the maid.

But the key is not whether he believes it or not, but since the maid dares to say such a thing, then nine times out of ten it is Zhao Ji's instructions.

It's about Zhao Ji's safety, so this maid, will he stop it or not?

Stop, that is to offend Zhao Ji.

Afterwards, it is likely that Zhao Ji will be labeled as "I don't care if I live or die".

He Zhang Han, can he stand it? Will it die?

Although he is Lang Zhongling, he is also a confidant of the First Emperor.

But compared with Zhao Ji, who has the dual identities of the queen mother and the biological mother of the first emperor, the difference between these two identities is unreasonable.

Today, it seems that the first emperor came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

But Zhang Han didn't believe that the First Emperor would really do anything to Zhao Ji.

Others don't know the first emperor, Zhao Ji's mother-son relationship.

Zhang Han, as the confidant of the first emperor, knows it.

Whatever imprisoned Yongdi was all to coax the ministers.

From beginning to end, the first emperor's closest person was Zhao Ji, even when King Xiang of Qin Zhuang was alive.

But if you don't stop it, you don't listen to the orders of the First Emperor.

There is a high probability that he will not die, but he will definitely lose the trust of the First Emperor, which is not the result he wants.

"Please write down the name of the medicine you need and the weight you need on the bamboo slip, and the official will go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to get it."

Zhang Han made a suggestion for himself.

But Zhang Han's double is complete, not the double of maids.

"The matter is urgent, I will go in person, and the Queen Mother will be uncomfortable for a while. If you don't want to murder the Queen Mother, get out! ”

Zhang Han was in a dilemma.

glanced at the maid next to him when he opened the door, he didn't move, didn't speak, closed his eyes and glanced at Gai Nie, who cursed in his heart.

You are cunning, you don't speak, you don't do anything, and you throw the matter of offending the Queen Mother on me.

This maid was stopped, and afterwards she would only say to the Queen Mother that I was not.

It's not that easy to put it out of the way!

The palace doors are all double-opened, with two doors.

Zhang Han leaned forward, blocking the empty space of his own half of the door, leaving the empty space of Gai Nie's half of the door.

The maid glared at Zhang Han and snorted coldly.

Walking towards the empty half of the gate of Gai Nie, one foot stepped outside the gate of Ganquan Palace.

In a flash.

Gai Nie's eyes, hands, sword up!

The long rainbow runs through the sun, and the silver light appears.

Only two sounds were heard of the sword unsheathed and the sword returned to its sheath.

The maid continued to move forward, taking a second step.

The unprepared Zhang Han ignored the maid, his eyes widened, and he stared at Gai Nie, who had not done anything just now, his eyes were full of disbelief.

His Majesty did not give an order! How dare you kill her! You can't stop her back!

The maid who took the second step saw that Zhang Han did not stop her, and she was still overjoyed in her heart.

The maid, who was afraid that Zhang Han would regret it, hurriedly ran out of the third, fourth, and fifth steps.

The maid had already left Ganquan Palace in the second step, ran three steps outside the palace, and ran down the steps in front of the gate of Ganquan Palace, and her mind was slightly relaxed.

Gai Nie seemed to raise his hand just now, was he dazzled?

Thinking like this, she suddenly felt some pain in her neck and reached out to grab it.

She didn't control her strength well when she was running eagerly, and she grabbed it a little hard this time.

So, her body was still running.

However, the field of vision shifted from the Yongdi guards wearing Lang official clothes in front of them to the starry sky.

moved down quickly, becoming Gai Nie who closed his eyes and recuperated, looking at Zhang Han, who was angry with Gai Nie, and the three city defense troops with the sad look of a rabbit and a dead fox in their eyes.

Then her vision was the steps in front of the gate of Zhangtai Palace, and then a pair of thin legs in a maid's costume and still trotting.

Boom~

Wheel~

The scenery changes too quickly to be seen clearly.

Those legs are so familiar......

The maid's vision went dark.

Her consciousness was darker than her vision.

Her body ran two more steps before she threw herself on the ground.

Seemingly endless blood gushed from her smooth-cut neck.

On the ground, it was like a large red cloth that stretched and smelled of rust.

It was a headless corpse.

The maid pushed her own head down when she touched her neck just now.

The Yongdi guards of Ganquan Palace all clenched their hands tightly, and their eyes turned to Gai Nie with hatred.

But without Zhao Ji's order, they would not act on their own.

Zhang Han was extremely angry and scolded in a low voice.

"Why did you kill her!"

Gai Nie opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Han squarely.

"By Your Majesty's orders."

"Your Majesty didn't let me wait to kill!"

"No one is allowed to go in or out, but this maid has come out. Nie only kills her, you and I will not be considered against His Majesty's will, and corpses will not be considered people. ”

Zhang Han was angry, gritted his teeth and said: "This is the Queen Mother's personal maid!" If you want to die, don't take Han! ”

"The Queen Mother's personal maid, can she disobey His Majesty's orders?"

Okay, okay, take the words of His Majesty's order to block Han?

Zhang Han leaned closer, and his voice was three points lower.

In a mocking and mocking tone that only he and Gai Nie could hear, he said angrily: "If the Queen Mother is angry, you dare to do this?"

Gagnie's voice was as usual.

"Why not?"

Zhang Han's heart was beating violently, and he stared at Gai Nie's eyes tightly, and his heart trembled.

Gai Nie's eyes were very clear and quiet, with a hint of doubt, as if he didn't know the difference between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother's personal maid.

He seems to be serious......

He's crazy!

From this moment on, Zhang Han's mind was at the apex, and he didn't dare to relax at all.

Gai Nie drew his sword too quickly.

If not, he can't prevent it.
