"Takekage, is that you?"

Ye Shuhua shouted several times in succession before he heard a weak voice.

"Miss, yes...... It's me. ”

Bamboo Shadow was shot with a flying needle halfway through the escape, and there was a drug on it, and she didn't have the strength to escape, and then she was caught here.

Ye Shuhua's hope in her heart was completely destroyed after she found out, and the news did not spread, and there was little hope for Li Zhen to find herself.

At this time, she really regretted that she had acted rashly.

But when I thought that Bamboo Shadow was locked up with me, at least the rope should be able to be untied.

"Bamboo Shadow, do you still have the strength?"

Bamboo Shadow slowed down for a while, he had a special physique, so he recovered faster than others.

Slowly sat up and said, "Yes." ”

The two of them were back to back in the dark, Ye Shuhua's wrist was trapped very tightly because of her struggle, and there was no room to move, but there was a bamboo shadow.

She began to try to untie the rope.

It took a lot of time for the Bamboo Shadow to unravel in the end.

The ropes of both of them were untied, and when she took off her hood, she found that she was locked in an iron box as she had guessed.

There is a small opening on one side of the door, which is used for observation and food and drink.

The door should be locked on the outside, and if you want to get out, you have to open the lock on the outside.

They were inside, and it was impossible to open them.

"As long as you open this small opening, when there is no one outside, your subordinates can stretch out their arms and pick the lock with one hand."

Bamboo Shadow's lockpicking skills are top-notch, so you can give it a try.

At that moment, she listened to the movement outside, it was very dark in the iron box, and she didn't know if it was day or night outside.

I thought about whether I could hear a thing or two by listening to the sound, but it was surprisingly quiet outside, and it was obviously not possible to listen to the sound.

The small mouth of the meal was unlocked, and she used the friction between her palm and the iron piece to push it away little by little.

It wasn't until a crack appeared that I could see that it was night.

Moreover, the iron box in which he was locked was kept in a room, the doors and windows were closed, and the guards were outside.

So it is just right.

When he got the chance, Takekage took out a thin needle in his hand, bent it, and reached for the lock outside.

Li Wei's plan is steadily progressing.

Liyang City was completely messed up by him.

At the same time, the people were panicked, and the death of the emperor was also completely spread.

Li Zhen led the troops to arrest the people who caused chaos, but he was still a step too late.

Li Shuo was at the gate of the city, and he didn't intercept any suspicious people.

Li Wei twisted his eyebrows and pondered, what is the purpose of Li Wei to create chaos?

Storming the palace?

Even if he attacked the palace, it would be useless, he took the throne of the emperor, but he couldn't sit still, how could he convince the public if he blatantly seized it?

Serve the public?

Li Zhen suddenly thought of something.

Hurriedly rushed towards the palace.

On the other side, Ye Shuhua and Zhu Ying successfully came out of the iron box, rescued Zhao Ai, and quietly knocked out the guards at the door and escaped.

Maybe Li Wei didn't expect that she would be able to escape from the iron box, so she didn't arrange many secret guards.

escaped smoothly, just arrived in a dark alley, and saw the picture of people fleeing outside.

"What's going on? What's wrong? ”

"It must have been Li Wei's ploy." Zhao Ai said.

"Let the city fall into panic, is he going to take advantage of the chaos to enter the palace and seize the heir?" Ye Shuhua guessed.

Zhao Ai didn't know Li Wei's plan, but his final goal was definitely to be the throne.

"It should be. Second Imperial Princess, thank you for saving me, the most important thing now is that you go and inform the Second Prince. ”

Ye Shuhua nodded, and looked at him again: "To prevent being caught by Li Wei again, you must be careful and find a place to hide." ”

"Rest assured, I can take care of myself."

After Ye Shuhua left, Zhao Ai looked at the people fleeing in panic, and a child Xu was separated from his family and cried in fright.

He immediately picked up the child and ran with the flow of people.

Ye Shuhua returned to Yunwei Palace, but he didn't see Lizhen, only heard Ji Cui say that he went to look for him and never came back.

Ye Shuhua didn't have time to find where Li Zhen was, but went straight to the palace.

Inside the Imperial Palace, on the Chaoyang Palace.

Li Wei sat on it in a dragon robe, holding a jade seal in his hand, and on the desk in front of him was an edict of succession.

Standing in the center of the main hall was Li Zheng and half of the courtiers in the court.

They have all taken refuge in Li Wei before.

"Lizhen, what if you oppose it alone? Look, this is the will of the people, half of the courtiers are supporting me to become emperor, outside, those wandering people, tomorrow will all praise me and flatter me as emperor. ”

"What if you're a prince? Without the support of the court and the support of the people, he still can't sit on the throne of the emperor. ”

Li Wei's laughter is rampant, all plans will be settled tomorrow, and the world will only think that he is the most suitable for the emperor.

Li Zhen smiled, "Do you think people's hearts are so easy to buy?" You create chaos, make the people think that the Li royal family is useless, and make everyone disappointed in the Li royal family, and then your people will rescue in an orderly manner, control the people and appease the people.

Do you think you can't see this little plan of yours? ”

"Even if you can see it, it is my people and me who can protect the safety of the people, as long as they know this."

Li Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at him, his eyes full of contempt, "It's you Li Zhen, do you really think you have the ability to fight against me?" ”

"Has Ye Shuhua been missing for a few days? You don't know where she is, do you? ”

Hearing this, Li Zhen's brows tightened, "You caught Hua'er!" ”

"Hahaha, that's right, but don't worry, I'm still threatening you with her life, so I won't kill her, she's safe."

"You should have guessed that, right?"

Li Zhen clenched his hands into fists and glared at him fiercely: "What do you want!" ”

"It's very simple, you submit to me, like the ministers, support me to become emperor, and convince the rest of the ministers. Ye Shuhua's life will remain intact, otherwise ......"

He lengthened his voice, then clapped his hands, and saw the dark guard pressing the two people into the main hall and throwing them directly to the ground.

Li Zhen saw that it was Ye Shuhua and wanted to go up to hug her, but was stopped by the secret guard next to him with a sword.

"Hua'er!"

Ye Shuhua was weak and weak, struggled to get up, looked up at Li Zhen, smiled and shook his head.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

She really didn't expect that Li Wei guessed that she would escape and come to the palace.

It's as if he knows what's going on in his heart.

And coming to the palace by himself seems to be part of his plan, if he is arrested again, he can successfully threaten Liji.

He and Takekage were in a maze again, and in addition to being able to barely stand up, the people next to him didn't even have the strength to raise their arms.

She was dragged up, and the dagger of the man behind her was pressed against her cheek.

Just listened to Li Wei said: "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, if you delay for a quarter of an hour, she will be scratched on her face once, and twice in a quarter of an hour, anyway, the dagger under my hand is very sharp and thin, it should be enough to scratch her face more than a dozen times." ”

The dagger was sharp, and it was cold on the cheek.

Ye Shuhua couldn't help but be afraid in her heart.

There was horror in his eyes.

Li Zhen was angry, but Ye Shuhua was held in his hands, so he had to agree.

"Well, I promise you! But you can't hurt Hua'er, otherwise not only will you not get the support of everyone, but I will also let you die without a place to bury! ”

Li Wei scoffed at his pale and empty threat and smiled: "Okay, I'll give you an hour's time, I'll wait for your good news here." ”

Li Zhen was let go, and he took a deep look at Ye Shuhua before leaving.

Ye Shuhua also replied to his reassuring look.

The other ministers were also frightened, cowering and standing in place, only a few of them were willing, most of them were detained and forced to helpless.

Li Zhen left, and those ministers were temporarily locked up in the side hall.

Zhuying was taken away, and Ye Shuhua's people who blamed Li Wei were escorted into the inner hall.

The people in the palace were all controlled by Li Wei, including the palace maids and eunuchs, who were also obedient to his orders.

He sat on a cushion, and the table in front of him was full of food.

Ye Shuhua was thrown to the ground, because he had no strength, and crawled directly in front of Li Wei.

Li Wei was sitting there, staring down at her.

Her face is delicate, beautiful and refined, like a lotus out of the water, delicate and gorgeous, and people can't help but pick it.

The extremely vague emotions that have been buried in Li Wei's heart, at this time, are like vines, and they begin to grow arbitrarily.

He remembered Ye Shuhua's pipa dance in his mind, and he was shocked.

It's all fresh in my mind now.

It's just, how could she like that waste.

In addition to his good skin, his wisdom and strategy are not as good as his own, what is there to like?
