The courtyard outside Ci'an Palace was deserted, the door lintel made a sharp and harsh friction sound, and the smell of dampness and mildew hit your nostrils.
This place has been deserted for a long time. In this huge palace, there is currently only one maidservant who sweeps the house and one eunuch who does menial work. They are probably transferred here temporarily.
The Imperial Guards behind them followed them and did not retreat when they reached the door. They arranged their positions one by one and surrounded Ci'an Palace tightly.
Xia Chu looked at the position of each of them in turn. Looking in Xiao Yuanzi's eyes, he thought he saw that the emperor had sent guards to guard him. He felt sad and stepped forward to comfort him in a low voice: "Little Marquis, you can Treat them as mere decorations and don't take them seriously."
Xia Chu looked at him sideways, smiled, said nothing, turned around and went straight into the main hall.
Although Xiao Yuanzi's words were unintentional words of comfort, in Xia Chu's eyes, they were really just decorations. He thought about the current situation in his mind.
Who revealed Lan Yuying's identity
He was extremely on guard and sent her to the Xu Mansion as soon as possible. Even the matter of blood collection was arranged at Yinweizhai. Could it be that Yue Feng pulled her to follow her at that time
Take blood? Take blood!
Xia Chu suddenly understood. He stood up and slapped his palm on the table. There was a 'pop' sound, and in the empty hall, Xiao Yuanzi, who was spreading the bedding in fright, sat down on the ground.
Xiao Yuanzi turned to Xia Chu with a sad face and asked aggrievedly: "What's wrong, Xiao Hou..."
However, Xia Chu made a silence gesture to him. Xiao Yuanzi opened his mouth, closed it again, stood up on the bed and continued to spread the quilt.
Xia Chu pinched his eyebrows. He finally knew what the problem with the antidote was.
Blood!
There's something wrong with Lan Yuying's blood...
He had refined that prescription many times for the emperor to try. The only difference was that this time the medicine was replaced with Lan Yuying's blood.
Has Lan Yuying been poisoned
Why didn't he notice it at all the last time we met
Now that the emperor is going to capture Lan Yuying, it may not be a bad thing.
If Yue Fengwan was really targeting Lan Yuying, she would be safer inside the palace than outside the palace. In any case, he would have to find a way to meet Lan Yuying.
It seemed that the emperor didn't know that he knew martial arts. Although there were quite a few guards guarding the door, they didn't know about martial arts.
If Eunuch Li really sent someone to inform the Marquis, the Marquis would definitely go to the palace overnight to ask the Emperor what happened, and the Emperor would not really do anything to the Marquis.
But this cold face must be shaken off.
I don't know if Xiao Mubai is back. What would he do if he learned that he was under house arrest by the emperor
When Xia Chu thought of this, his eyes lit up. He turned to Xiao Yuanzi, who was waiting beside him with the bedding spread out, and asked, "Does the emperor give me food?"
"Ah?" Xiao Yuanzi was dumbfounded. He looked at Xia Chu's muttering and changing expressions, and he was already muttering in his heart. He was suddenly asked such a question, and his brain had not yet reacted.
"I'm hungry." Xia Chu sighed.
He was already in a hurry to get into the palace, and before he had time to eat dinner, he was hungry and suffered so much, which made it even worse.
Now that I have figured out some things, my mind is relaxed and I suddenly feel hungry.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, you didn't say you would give me food. Otherwise, my servant would have two other cowards. Will you please step down, little Marquis?" Xiao Yuanzi stuttered a little at first, but then he became more and more embarrassed as he spoke.
Xia Chu, who had always been a picky eater, waved his hand without thinking. He would not be reduced to the point where he had to settle for just two cornbread...
"Princess Yirou, did you hang yourself here?" Xia Chu walked to the middle position, looked at the carved beam above his head, and asked Xiao Yuanzi.
"Ah?" Xiao Yuanzi was startled again by him. The master's thinking was jumping too fast. He said he was hungry just now, why did he ask this now
"No, I don't know. My slave wasn't here on duty that day. What's wrong?" Xiao Yuanzi glanced at the gloomy surroundings, folded his hands around his chest and rubbed his arms up and down.
This Princess Yirou was hanged, not starved to death, so it’s not that evil...
"I seemed to hear her talking to me." Xia Chu pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Yuanzi's face turned pale. Ninja smiled and continued to scare him: "She said that she was actually very wronged and regretful. She wanted to find someone to talk to, so that I stayed at the place where she was hanging from the beam so that I could have a good conversation with her."
Xiao Yuanzi's legs were already swaying. Xia Chujian was almost frightened, so she waved her hand to him: "Princess Yirou asked you to step back. Don't disturb us before dawn, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yuanzi kowtowed to him, then kowtowed to the empty middle beam, got up and ran away.
Xia Chu looked at his fleeing back and quickly covered his mouth with his hand and laughed. It seemed that Xiao Yuanzi would not dare to take a step into the hall tonight.
He walked to the bed, pulled off a piece of silk rope wrapped around the curtain, tied it to the sleeves of his wide robe, turned up the corners of the clothes and stuffed them into his belt.
In just a short time, he had skillfully transformed his elegant green robe into a smart outfit...
In his previous life, he regained the body of a girl. He was not used to it at first when he changed into women's clothes. The skirt and sleeves were very inconvenient. He changed it many times over and over again. Now he can easily change into a men's robe.
Xia Chu moved his hands and feet, feeling very satisfied, and walked towards the window with light steps.
The windows should always be open for ventilation, but there was a thick layer of dust. Fortunately, I had changed my clothes, otherwise the dust would have spread everywhere.
He didn't want to leave any mark on the window sill, so he took two steps back slightly, ducked down and easily got out, his movements were agile and he didn't stir up any dust.
After Xia Chu landed, he quickly rushed to a large water tank. He silently calculated the position of the guards outside. After planning a route, he stood up from a palace wall and stepped lightly on the tiles. , has passed over the heads of the two guards to the opposite side.
The two people guarding below felt a gust of wind above their heads at the same time, and they looked at each other with a gloomy air. One of them looked a little panicked and said, "Did you feel that something moved by just now?"
The other person swallowed his saliva and tried to calm down: "Big, it's probably a bat."
"It's a bat! How can a bat be so 'swish'?" One of them spat at him. After speaking, his face became more and more panicked. He glanced around, moved closer to him and lowered his voice: " It won’t really be as noisy as Xiao Yuanzi said…”
"Bah! You can say this casually, you're going to lose your head!" Another person quickly interrupted him sharply.
"Bat?" Xia Chu's lips curved into a smile, and was secretly laughing at what the other person said.
He glanced at the moonlight, stopped stopping, raised his breath, and took advantage of the night to quickly fly towards the direction of Yongxin Palace...
