Before she could get closer, Takekage stopped her, and the two of them hid under a tree.

"Miss, there are at least a dozen secret guards outside the small courtyard, and there are no less than twenty people inside. We can't get close at all, and if we do, we'll be discovered. ”

Ye Shuhua twisted his eyebrows, "The guards are so strict, it seems that the people inside are the ones who want to win the throne." Since they're all here, wouldn't it be a pity not to see who it is? ”

In the courtyard, the man wearing a mask once again opened his mouth and ordered: "If there is chaos in the city, there will be an opportunity." Three days later, you take your brother in your hand and create a riot, remember to be fast, and evacuate quickly after you are done. ”

The man bowed his head and said, "Yes, master." ”

Then he dodge and left.

At the same time, a person walked out of the room, this person was Zhao Ai, who had disappeared for a while, and his hands and feet were chained and shackled.

The body has lost a lot of weight, and the cheeks are sunken, and the cheekbones appear more prominent.

It's a little less kind and a little more angry.

He was also really full of anger, and sat on one side, directly holding the man's teacup and drinking it all.

His hands were covered with mud, and he didn't feel dirty, so he just picked up the snacks on the table and sent them to his mouth.

"How long are you going to lock me up?" He munched on his snack and slurred.

"Come on, when the dust settles, you'll be free."

Zhao Ai didn't wait to swallow it and stuffed another piece of snack.

"Freedom? Did you say that freedom let me go, or did it kill me? ”

The man smiled coldly and did not speak.

The dark guard behind him was immediately clear, and one person dragged him back into the house with one arm and one arm backwards.

Zhao Ai seemed to be accustomed to it, and let him come out for a while every few days, and when the time came, he would put him back in the dark iron box.

The Dark Guard had already replaced the new tea cups and snacks, and one of the Dark Guards whispered something.

The masked man, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, showed a sinister smile.

"Well, it's just a good time."

He muttered to himself, then raised his hand to signal that they didn't have to act rashly.

The hot tea cup was placed in his nose, he sniffed it gently, the fragrance was light and elegant, and he tasted it again, it was sweet and mellow.

"Today's tea Qixingzhai is a good seven-night tea, since Your Excellency is here, sit down and taste it. Taste the difference between the tea of this Li country and your Huaguo. ”

Ye Shuhua was lying on a tree next to the wall outside the courtyard, covered by branches.

Extremely difficult to find.

But it was still noticed by the other party.

She didn't panic, and she didn't run away.

Calmly jumped from the tree to the wall, and then jumped into the courtyard as a buffer.

The other party was dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, Ye Shuhua only looked at the familiar figure, but could not see his face.

However, she could probably guess who the other party was.

"Li Wei, we are old acquaintances, what are you still doing with a mask? Afraid I won't recognize you? ”

Li Wei laughed, "The second imperial concubine is really smart. ”

After saying that, she really took off her mask and revealed her face, Ye Shuhua looked at it, and she really guessed correctly.

It turned out that the mastermind behind all this turned out to be Li Wei, who disappeared without a trace.

The other side.

Li Zhen also learned a piece of news from Li Shuo's mouth, and immediately had a guess about the person who was trying to seize the throne.

"If it is really as Uncle Huang said, what he saw in Liyang City was really Li Wei, then the person behind him who tried to seize the throne was him! All the conditions are met, and there are people who want to take the throne and ambitions, only him! ”

Li Shuo locked his eyebrows, "Then I will now order someone to be wanted in the whole city and arrest Li Wei!" ”

Li Zhen shook his head: "His weapons have all been transported to Liyang City, and there should be a lot of people under him, you can't catch it at all during the whole process, and you will scare the snake." ”

"What then? We wait for the other side to attack before we act? ”

"Naturally not, but we have to think of a foolproof plan, and we can't act rashly until then."

Li Zhen pondered for a while, and ordered: "You go and send someone to tell Uncle Huang, let him keep his mouth shut, I will go back first, and I will tell you when I think of a plan." ”

When he returned to Yunwei Palace, it was already dark, and he wanted to discuss it with Ye Shuhua.

But seeing that Ye Shuhua was not at home, Zhuying was not there, only Ji Cui was alone, and when he saw Li Zhen come back, he told the truth what Bai Ri heard from Yin Kang and Yin Jian.

Li Zhen's heart tightened at the moment, his eyebrows jumped suddenly, he had a hunch that Ye Shuhua was in danger!

Immediately, he took Jiuyu to the alley, and found the yard all the way.

However, the building was empty.

The yard was empty.

But from the warm situation of the tea, it should be that the other party has just left!

He can't look for people in a big way, he can only look for them secretly.

After a sleepless night, Li Zhen searched almost all the courtyards centered on this courtyard, but found nothing.

He was anxious, but he had no clue, he didn't know where Ye Shuhua was, she must have been arrested, otherwise it would be impossible to have heard from him until now.

The other party must know her identity, and he will not kill her.

If he had been killed, he would have seen the corpse a long time ago.

Thinking about this, the tense heart is a little looser.

As long as you're not dead, it's fine.

Ye Shuhua, I will definitely find you!

He thought of a plan, and immediately turned around and went straight to the palace.

Ye Shuhua felt dizzy, there was a drug in the tea she drank, and after she drank it, she fainted directly.

Now she is tied hand and foot, and her head is also covered with a hood, and she has no idea where she is.

She lay on the ground for a while, her head was not as dizzy as when she first woke up, her body was not so soft, and she had some strength.

Then he puffed up his body and sat up.

There was a cold touch beneath her, like a piece of iron, and she tried to stand up again, only to kowtow.

Now she was sure that she should be locked up in an iron box.

The people outside heard the commotion, and shouted at the place, "Be honest! ”

Then there was a clang, and it closed again.

Ye Shuhua sighed and tried to struggle for a few moments, but the tied hemp rope was soaked in a special potion, and the more she struggled, the tighter it became.

She gave up struggling.

But the back of her hand was always like this behind her, and after a while, her arms became numb, so she had to lean forward and raise her arms to try to move.

When he was comfortable, he leaned back again.

At this time, she heard the sound of talking outside, and there was Li Wei's voice.

She hurriedly shouted: "Li Wei, let's talk about it if you have anything, why are you arresting me?" ”

"Don't you want the throne? I can actually help you! ”

After Li Wei instructed his subordinates, he turned his head and glanced at the iron box in front of him.

I raised my hand and patted it twice, only twice, but it was deafening inside.

"Can you help me? Second Imperial Princess, isn't it when I'm a fool? ”

"But don't worry, I won't kill you for the time being, your life is still of great use."

With that, he left.

Ye Shuhua listened attentively and said busily: "Hey, don't go!" What I'm saying is true! Let's talk again! ”

The man had apparently gone far away and hadn't listened to her at all.

Ye Shuhua sighed, not giving a chance to talk at all, it was really a difficult bone to gnaw.

"Don't talk in vain, it's better to store more physical strength with this effort."

The sound seemed to come from the outside, but it also looked like it came from the inside.

Just as she was wondering, the man said, "I'm locked next to you, and we're separated by a piece of iron." ”

Ye Shuhua heard that the person who spoke was Zhao Ai.

"How long have you been locked up?"

"Ever since Li Wei and I disappeared, I've been locked up by him."

Ye Shuhua secretly calculated that it would have to be locked up for half a year.

"Then do you know Li Wei's plan? How does he want to take the throne? ”

Zhao Ai shook his head: "I don't know, he is very careful, although he knows that I am locked up, I can't get out, and he won't tell anyone, but he still hasn't revealed it to me." ”

Ye Shuhua sighed, yes, if Zhao Ai knew, he wouldn't have locked them in a big iron box, separated in the middle.

I don't know if Takekage managed to escape.

She thought to herself.

She was snooping in the yard at the time, hiding in a tree, knowing that she would definitely be discovered, so she arranged for Bamboo Shadow to watch from a distance on the periphery.

All actions depend on her gestures, and the transmission of information also depends on her gestures.

Those who know are more than two gestures, and those who don't know are more than one.

To run away is to be zero.

At that time, she compared two to zero, hoping that Bamboo Shadow would take the news to Liji.

Find Li Wei and arrest him as soon as possible.

Just as they thought of this, the iron door was opened, and then it was as if they had thrown a man in.

Ye Shuhua couldn't see who it was, but she smelled a familiar smell.

It's Takekage!
