That night, the East Palace was awakened by the fire.

When the palace maid came to report, Xiao Min and Lu Bingzhen were in a good dream. After hearing the news, the two put on their clothes and got up. Xiao Min lifted his sword and walked out of the East Palace.

Before leaving, Xiao Min did not forget to ask his father-in-law to brush the frost, "Brush the frost, tonight is in chaos, be sure to guard the East Palace and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." "Father-in-law Fushuang also knew that the situation was dangerous, and hurriedly agreed, and gathered all the guards in the East Palace to Jinghe Palace, and all palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to act without authorization, and anyone who dared to walk around would be killed.

The night was dark, Lu Bingzhen changed into a capable arrow sleeve, sat in Jinghe Palace, and on his side was a longbow as good as snow jade and cold light, which was the longbow folding spring. Zhu Persimmon and Xue Cha waited from the side, and Leng Buding heard Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess say, "You don't have to serve tea tonight, you two should also go and change into smart clothes." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Persimmon and Xue Cha knew that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess had already known the identities of the two of them, and immediately stopped hiding it. After changing their clothes, the six female secret guards, Zhu Persimmon, Snow Tea, Pear Branch, Durian, Citrus Aurantium, and Turpentine guarded Lu Bingzhen together.

Lu Bingzhen thought of Queen Wen who was alone in the deep palace, and his eyebrows were stained with sadness, "Father-in-law Fushuang, can there be anyone in the palace of the queen's mother?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the Queen Mother has long been properly protected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The queen mother is now in the queen mother's Shoukang Palace. Shoukang Palace is far away, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the rebels dare not go there. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bingzhen's frowning brows did not loosen. The fact of tonight is that there are nine deaths, and the sword has no eyes, what should I do if I hurt His Royal Highness the Prince?

After thinking about it, Lu Bingzhen finally couldn't sit still, and suddenly stood up from the stool, "No, I'm going to take a look." Father-in-law Fushuang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the six female secret guards also repeatedly dissuaded him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, by all means. The son of a daughter can't sit down. The sword has no eyes, if you go, the slaves and maids will not be able to explain to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"If you talk about the body of a daughter, isn't His Royal Highness the Prince? Even if I stay here, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still be able to hear from you? ”

Father-in-law Fushuang gasped, he didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to be so outspoken. "But, Your Highness, you, you, you." Lu Bingzhen knew what he wanted to say, but he just felt that she couldn't do anything with a woman.

Lu Bingzhen didn't say much, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he immediately handed over the folding spring. Lu Bingzhen took it, tried the bowstring a little, and suddenly shot an arrow.

The arrow flew out of the hall at a very fast speed, and after a clang, the arrow was fixed in a copper coin on the shadow wall outside the hall.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the East Palace held their breath for a moment, and then they were stunned and quiet.

"How?" Lu Bingzhen looked back at the people in the East Palace. Father-in-law Fushuang still had a sad face, "Your Highness, in the end, the sword has no eyes." ”

Lu Bingzhen waved his hand to stop his next words, "Father-in-law Fushuang, you should just tell me the nearest way to the front hall of the court." ”

Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was so resolute, Father-in-law Fushuang had no choice but to guide her.

Along the way, the face of the frosty father-in-law was full of sadness. Lu Bingzhen comforted him twice, "Father-in-law Fushuang, you don't have to worry. I had studied martial arts when I was out with my parents, and although I was not as skilled as His Highness in archery, I was gifted in archery, and I could shoot bows and arrows that were twice as far as the average number. I will be able to keep myself safe and help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Besides, it may not be safe in this East Palace. If someone attacks, it will be enough, but if someone moves, and his mind starts a fire from the outside, will we not become turtles that catch turtles in the urn? ”

"Your Highness, don't make fun of this. Since the renovation of the East Palace before the wedding, these things have long been taken into account, not to mention arson, even if someone wants to dig a tunnel to enter the East Palace, it is difficult. Father-in-law Fushuang was still chattering and whispering, trying to persuade Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to return to the impregnable East Palace.

Suddenly, he saw Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess raise her hand to signal them to stop, followed by the six female secret guards of persimmon, snow tea, pear branch, durian, citrus aurantium, and pine knot. In an instant, all eight of them stopped in unison.

In order to hide people's eyes and ears and avoid unnecessary trouble, the East Palace group did not have torches or lanterns. It is completely relying on the bright moonlight tonight, walking through the long palace road. After they all stopped, they saw Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess quietly draw an arrow, aim it at the side and forward, and then shoot it in one go.

However, the six female secret guards, including the frost and the persimmon, the snow tea, the pear branch, the durian calyx, the citrus aurantium, and the pine knot, did not see anything in front of the side.

A cry of pain came from the front, and the seven of them moved in unison and looked at Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess at the same time. Father-in-law Fushuang led the way because he really couldn't persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Princess. The six female secret guards are because, from the time they were sent to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, the orders they received were to obey all the orders of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.

The seven of them did not believe that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess had the ability to protect herself or even help His Royal Highness. After all, the nobles of the family are good at socializing, contacting, and taking care of the backyard, and the seven of them have never heard of any noble girl of the family who is good at riding horses and archery, and killing thieves.

The seven of them saw Lu Bingzhen's solemn face, "There is an assassin wearing a night suit, I don't know where this person came from." Let's go pry his mouth open. ”

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Lu Bingzhen, who thought that Father-in-law Fushuang was going to say some clichés again, wanted to stop him, but heard him seem to be determined and said, "Your Highness, leave these dirty jobs to the slaves and maids, don't let these things dirty your hands." ”

Father-in-law's movements were fast, and it took almost a few words to pry open the assassin's mouth. Lu Bingzhen was a little incredulous, he didn't expect that his father-in-law, who was always smiling on his face, would have such a ruthless side, it seems that everyone in the East Palace is not simple.

However, what Lu Bingzhen didn't know was that after this night, her image in the eyes of everyone in the East Palace had also changed into an image of being able to seek politics and kill people with martial arts.

"Your Highness, this assassin was sent to the East Palace by His Majesty, but it just happened to bump into us." East Palace? Lu Bingzhen frowned, he couldn't imagine why His Majesty would do this at this time? Could it be that His Majesty really wants to kill the East Palace to pave the way for King Yu.

"He said what His Majesty was going to send him for." The wrinkle in Grandpa Frost's eyebrows deepened, "As you expected, he intends to kidnap you and bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to his knees. ”

Hearing this, Lu Bingzhen seemed to have heard some big joke. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the lives of an unknown number of people tied to him, how can he give up the low-hanging fruit throne for a wife who has just been married for less than half a year.

These days, Lu Bingzhen is not blind, she can see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has affection for her, but she doesn't believe that this love will be more important in His Royal Highness the Prince's heart than the lives of hundreds of people in the world.

"I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not only send someone to the East Palace, but also to the Queen Mother's Harem. Fortunately, at this time, the queen mother was already in Shoukang Palace. Father-in-law of Whisking, can the garrison of Shoukang Palace be sure to be sufficient? ”

Father-in-law Fushuang replied categorically this time, "Your Highness, rest assured, a dark passage was specially dug during the renovation of the East Palace, and the exit is near the Shoukang Palace." If Shoukang Palace really can't resist the rebels, those people escorting the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to the East Palace are more than enough. ”

After listening to Father-in-law's explanation, Lu Bingzhen finally let go of half of her heart, and she immediately clapped her head and said, "Since this is the case, we have nothing to worry about." Now go directly to the place where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is. ”

And at this moment, the situation around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not optimistic.

"But I didn't expect that my father was still struggling to survive, and he would have to find ways to contain his son. Does he really think that he can live to be a little nine, a little ten, or a little eleven to grow up? He is a father, why can't he tolerate his son so much, why does he have to kill Gu and King Yu? ”

Seeing that the king of Yu under the banner of "Qingjun's side" approached step by step with the support of the assassins secretly cultivated by his father. Xiao Min looked at King Yu with a hint of pity in his eyes, "Fool, I really think that our father and emperor are still worried about the relationship between father and son." Right now, the Assassins are helping you, but if I arrive, I'm afraid the Assassins will be slashing at you soon.

My father's purpose was not for any of us, but to contain the power of his two adult sons and make his throne more secure. ”

Seeing the assassin approaching step by step, Xiao Min sneered and continued, "Okay, since my father and the emperor don't care about the relationship between father and son so much, then the minister doesn't have to worry about the warmth of his father in the years when he was young. If you come, you don't have to stop, and let them see the real combat power of the East Palace. ”

As he spoke, there was chaos in front of the Qinzheng Palace, the forces of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Yu were at war, and there were assassins with unknown positions roaming among them, harvesting the heads of both sides from time to time to balance the situation on both sides.

Just when Pei Jian was ordered to activate all the secret guards in the East Palace, Xiao Min saw several figures appear at the small door on the side. The figures of those men did not look like sergeants belonging to any of the current forces, but rather a ...... Fern and whisk.

During the time he was carefully observing, Lu Bingzhen once again pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back and hit the nearest guard beside King Yu. In just a moment's effort, the guard fell on King Yu's body with a thud.

Several of the people who were fighting were taken aback by this sudden change, and when they were stunned, Father-in-law Fushuang had already relied on his attributes of the terrain to lead Lu Bingzhen and the others through the inspection of the East Palace Sergeant and approached His Royal Highness the Prince.
