The snow outside the window was falling one after another, Bai Ying stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Princess, it's Yin time."
Qin Wan's slightly closed eyes opened, and he turned to look out the window. The dim light in the room was projected out, revealing a snow-white courtyard. Qin Wan looked at it for a moment, then suddenly opened the window and stretched out his hand. Although there were two The charcoal basin, but at this moment the charcoal fire in it has been burned out, there is only this little warmth, when the window is opened, the biting cold wind blows in immediately, even Baiying is shivering, and Qin Wan sticks out the window The hand is even more painful like a needle prick.
"Is there no sound outside? Where is the nanny now?"
Bai Ying said, "Yes, there's no sound. The nanny went to the right wing, but the lights in the right wing were not lit, and it was too cold outside, she couldn't bear it at all."
Qin Wan withdrew his hand, closed the window, and wiped his face with his cold hands.
Yinshi is the middle of the night, the time when a person sleeps the most soundly, even if he insists on not sleeping, it is also the time when he is the most tired and exhausted, and it is so cold tonight, even if the guards outside are in good health, they will not be able to sleep under the wind and snow. After standing in the middle for two hours, my energy has long been exhausted.
Qin Wan signaled Bai Ying to get closer, and ordered in a low voice, "Now is the best opportunity, I'm afraid it will be exchanged later, you go to the Shoukang Palace and find the Queen Mother, I guess the Shoukang Palace is now outside I am afraid that the guards are also guarding, in order to block the way to ask for help. If you cannot enter the palace gate, you should go to the south of Shoukang Palace, near the courtyard where His Royal Highness Nine lives. That must be where the guards are weakest. "
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying hurriedly said, "But it's not right to leave Wangfei here alone."
Qin Wan shook his head, "They won't kill me, you go quickly, after such a long time, he still has encountered something outside, the emperor will definitely not spare his life... If it's not at this point, I don't want to disturb Empress Dowager, but besides the Empress Dowager, I can't think of anyone else who can save us."
Bai Ying's eyes darkened, "Yes, that servant immediately went to Shoukang Palace for help."
Qin Wan listened carefully to the movement outside, "Go through the back window."
Bai Ying nodded, followed Qin Wan to the back window, opened the window, and the wind and snow outside came in at once, Bai Ying quickly turned over, said "Princess be careful", then turned and walked towards the backyard wall, Bai Ying was agile, and even the towering palace walls could not stop her. Qin Wan closed the window when she saw her disappear completely. Once the window was closed, Qin Wan hurried to the front to listen, and heard that there was only wind and snow outside. The voice just let go of my heart.
Even if the Empress Dowager was not critically ill tonight, her body and mind could not withstand any waves at this moment. Qin Wan wondered if this call for help would make the Empress Dowager's condition worse, but at this point, she had no choice but the Empress Dowager.
The nanny who was in charge of guarding the two of Qin and Wan had long been curled up on the low couch in the wing room. Looking at the heavy snow falling outside, and thinking of the imperial guards standing outside, she finally let go of her worries and entered her dream. , and outside the courtyard separated by a wall, ten imperial guards were covered in wind and snow, and several of them could no longer hold on to the courtyard wall, but soon, the snow turned into snow water and wet everyone's clothes. Even the leader Xiaoqiwei couldn't help it.
One said in a low voice, "Captain, how long are we going to stand? With such heavy snow, it's really..."
"Shut up." Xiaoqi Lieutenant yelled in a low voice, "Commander Lin personally explained how many of us are there. He didn't say anything. We must not leave without authorization. You know who is inside. Something big is going to happen tonight. It's a matter of losing your head!"
"But... this subordinate can't hold on anymore. If this goes on, we will all fall down."
Lieutenant Xiao Qi swept around the group of people, "You guys, stand in the lee and take your time, come and change us later, unless Commander Lin sends someone to change us, I can't do anything about it."
One person murmured, "I'm afraid Commander Lin can't think of us. Did the captain hear it? There seems to be an accident in the direction of the front hall, and there is a lot of movement."
The imperial guards outside the imperial city all returned to the palace, there are so many people, there is a lot of noise, but Xiao Qiwei ignored the words, still said, "Do your job well."
Everyone didn't dare to say more, and a few who couldn't bear it turned around the corner and stood in the leeward place.
Baiying groped towards Shoukang Palace like a cat. The palace tonight was indeed not peaceful. There were more and more imperial guards on the way from Beiyuan to Shoukang Palace, which was several times more than the usual martial law. Fortunately, Baiying often followed Qin Wanting to enter the palace, if it wasn't for this, I'm afraid it would be hard to find a hiding place.
When Baiying tried her best to get to the Shoukang Palace, as Qin Wan expected, the palace had already been surrounded by the imperial guards. Alone, even if Bai Ying is physically strong, it is impossible for her to break through such a blockade and break into Shoukang Palace.
Bai Ying waited for a while, only to see that the gate of Shoukang Palace was closed, and the palace was completely dark. She only suspected that the Empress Dowager didn't know what was going on outside the palace. So, it would be impossible for anyone to come out of Shoukang Palace. Bai Ying was hiding in the dark, I started to feel in the direction of the palace of the Ninth Prince Yansui, and when I reached the southeast of Shoukang Palace, I saw that there were a lot fewer Imperial Guards here. The Imperial Guards here only use patrol system, and no one is guarding them. However, there are more people on patrol than usual. There were twice as many people, this group of people had just passed by, and the next group of people came again in the blink of an eye, Bai Ying frowned, although her cheeks were sore from the cold, cold sweat was still overflowing from her forehead.
Watching the five teams walk past, Bai Ying didn't find a chance. Thinking of the time constraints, Bai Ying couldn't take care of so many, the sixth team of patrolling imperial guards just walked past, Bai Ying jumped under the palace wall, but At this moment, the seventh team turned the corner, and the first person saw a black shadow flashing past, and then flashed the torch, "Who! Who is in front?! Come on—"
The guards at the head shouted and charged under the palace wall, but Bai Ying could only temporarily hide behind a clump of dwarf bamboo and rocks under the palace wall. The guards fought each other, seeing that the imperial guards were getting closer and closer to search, suddenly, another black shadow flashed by not far away, the man in the lead had his eyes lit up, and immediately chased after the black-clothed man, "Over there! Chase—"
Bai Ying breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the imperial guards walking farther and farther away, although she didn't know what was going on, she still wanted to take this opportunity to sneak into the Shoukang Palace first, but just as she turned around and was about to climb the wall, behind her was Suddenly a strong wind hit, Bai Ying's heart rang alarm bells, she turned around and threw out a punch, but the person who came seemed to know her way, so she caught her fist head-on, the next moment, the person came violently got close to her...
"it's me-"
The sudden voice stopped Bai Ying's counterattack, and she stared at the figure in front of her, "Brother?!"
Bai Feng's eyes were full of urgency, "Why are you here?! Where is the princess?"
