Bian Ding and Jiang Yan, who were chasing Xia Chu along the way, saw only Xia Chu when they arrived, standing among the rocks halfway up the mountain with a stunned expression.
Jiang Yan estimated that the first group of officers and soldiers led by Tang Qi were about to arrive, so he pushed Bian Ding on the shoulder: "Go down and persuade the young master to leave first. It's too late and I can't explain clearly."
Bian Ding glanced at him and wanted to say something to him about why you didn't go down, but this was his own young master. He didn't seem qualified to say this, so he jumped down and whispered a few words next to Xia Chu.
Although Xia Chu was shaken, he was not dumbfounded until now. He was just observing the appearance and situation of the underground palace below.
Even if Bian couldn't decide, he would plan to evacuate first after watching for a while.
When Tang Qi arrived, it took him a long time to climb up the mountainside with his soldiers to check. After careful inspection halfway up the mountain, someone vaguely recognized the appearance of the underground palace. Tang Qi was very frightened. He quickly sent people to garrison and blockade the place, and he hurried back to report it.
The rockfall caused by the explosion injured many people at the foot of the mountain, and some of them were being helped or carried to Chang'an for medical treatment.
The people in Chang'an City were already frightened by the continuous explosions.
Seeing these injured people pouring into the city again, people were even more panic-stricken. This gave Xiao Yanjun an advantage. Now no one can bother to make trouble in his mansion.
Jingzhao Yin Heliantao sent people to the suburbs of Beijing to check, and at the same time he had to appease the people.
When the news reached the Jade Palace, Concubine Li was so angry that her teeth itched with anger and panic, and she ordered Lian Yan to invite Zi Luo into the palace.
"Is your master crazy? If he really wants to die, why should he discuss cooperation with me and just take my life?" Li Fei's body was trembling slightly.
On the one hand, I am angry, and on the other hand, I am really panicked...
Zi Luo was not angry when she repeatedly questioned her. She chuckled and said, "Why are you panicking? Your Majesty will probably leave this matter to Admiral Huo to investigate. Master helped you attract such an important person. At this moment, you want to What we need to do is not to do twice the result with half the effort?”
Li Fei's face was startled. What Zi Luo said was reasonable, but she still felt a little hasty in her heart. She frowned and asked, "His move has disrupted my plan. I am afraid that he is acting too hastily now."
Ziluo didn't care on her face and said very calmly: "This is a rare opportunity, and you won't be able to find it again."
Li Fei's originally gorgeous face was now very solemn. Know that this opportunity is fleeting.
But this life can only be won once.
Zi Luo looked at her hesitant look and told her the good news again: "Your Majesty, the side of Jincheng has succeeded."
Li Fei suddenly raised her eyes, her expression filled with unconcealable joy. After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
The corners of Zi Luo's lips curved into a smile, she leaned towards her ear and whispered.
Li Fei's face rose and fell as she spoke. After she finished speaking, Liu eyebrows furrowed for a long time before she felt relieved and nodded in agreement.
At the same time, in the Qingxin Hall, the emperor, who was supposed to be lying on the dragon bed and could not recover from his illness, was in full swing. Fortunately, Huo Tianxiu ordered Eunuch Li to bring the emperor with him when he threw the first cup of tea. Everyone retreated to wait in the distance.
Otherwise, such a loud noise would not be provoked to everyone in the palace.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. People outside think you can't afford to be sick." Although Huo Tianxiu knew that someone dared to use explosives in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing, he was extremely bold and arrogant.
But the emperor was too angry.
"What do you know!" The emperor pointed at him and angrily spat on his face.
Huo Tianxiu touched the saliva on his face. He knew it. It was not that after investigation, he found a mausoleum. There were no shortage of artifacts and funerary objects inside, but a coffin was missing.
But that's not an imperial mausoleum. At best, it's an unknown tomb built by the ancestors of past dynasties. Why would the emperor be so angry...
"Go away, why are you still an eyesore? If you don't get this coffin back, you can show me your head." The emperor became more and more angry and kicked him: "If you catch someone, don't let him live. Kill him on the spot."
If Huo Tianxiu hadn't received that kick on the butt, he would have doubted whether he had heard wrongly. As for letting him handle such a thing
And the emperor also ordered that if you can't find it back, why don't you bring it up to see him
Huo Tianxiu looked hesitant, and his lips were puckered and he wanted to open his mouth.
When he raised his head, he saw the emperor's lacquer-like eyes, half-squinting at him, as dark as the quietest night, deep and gloomy.
But the chill and coldness spreading deep in his eyes were clearly visible.
Huo Tianxiu swallowed his saliva, knowing that the emperor had a really angry look on his face. He didn't dare to argue anymore and said "yes" and retreated with a solemn expression.
Following his departure from the palace, Xia Chu returned to Prince Mo's Mansion and discovered another terrible thing.
He stood in the side courtyard where Su Qianle was originally detained, and within sight he could see the corpses lying strewn about in the courtyard. They were all dead from bleeding or poisoning.
There was another person lying on the ground at the door of the room. Xia Chu looked very familiar. He quickly walked a few steps over and turned over. His face was shocked, and he saw that the face was Han Ling.
Xia Chu saw that although his face was dirty, there was no bleeding from his orifices, so he quickly felt his pulse.
Although his heart was shocked, it was not life-threatening and he was not poisoned. He quickly called for people to carry him out, and ordered his subordinates to seal off the courtyard.
Xiao Mubai heard the news when he rushed back to the palace, and hurried to Han Ling's house.
Xia Chu was in the inner room applying acupuncture to revive Han Ling, feeding him medicine and asking some simple questions. Then he walked out of the room and saw Xiao Mubai coming up to him.
The two looked at each other and then walked towards the study in tacit agreement.
"Yue Fengwan's subordinate. Listening to Han Ling's description, I thought it was Fei Lian. Fei Lian said he had seen Han Ling struggling to climb the cliff and showed mercy to him. He reminded me to owe him a favor." Xia Chu As he walked, he looked very solemn.
"If so, Fei Lian should have witnessed how you survived. Why didn't he tell Concubine Li? Instead, it confirmed the news of your death and allowed us to successfully ruin the wedding." Xiao Mubai's expression was not much better.
"I don't know. Maybe Yue Fengwan doesn't look down on Concubine Li at all. He just wants to achieve his own goals and is too lazy to care about Concubine Li's life and death." Xia Chu shook his head and made random guesses.
Xia Chu's eyebrows tightened and she thought for a while. After entering the study, she continued: "I have always been curious about why he never revealed my woman's identity. Now that I see him taking Su Qianle away, am I also afraid? Su Qianle knew that I was a woman and couldn't take advantage of it, so that's why she never revealed it?"
Xiao Mubai felt that there was some truth in what he said, but he couldn't explain one thing. He said with a confused face: "Su Qianle should be useless now. If it is a kidnapping, let Mu Hong go, but instead kidnap Su." Qianle?"
