Bai Feng was wearing the military uniform of the Imperial Forest Army, and because of the head armor, Bai Ying almost didn't recognize it.
Seeing that it was her elder brother who came, the tense strings in Bai Ying's heart suddenly dropped, she immediately grabbed Bai Feng's hand and said, "My concubine ordered me to come to Shoukang Palace for help, she is still imprisoned in Beiyuan, why is brother here?" Where is the prince? How is the prince? "
Bai Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, "My lord is well. My lord is currently in Shoukang Palace. We entered the palace to save the princess from the palace."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying was completely relieved, but said, "The prince is in Shoukang Palace?"
Bai Feng nodded, "My lord is here to find the whereabouts of the princess, and to bid farewell to the empress dowager, but just now our people searched in Shoukang Palace for a long time but failed to find the concubine. We were in a hurry, and saw you coming , is the princess safe now?"
Bai Ying nodded hurriedly, "Well... I'm just worried about the prince."
The figures of the two brothers and sisters were hidden behind the bamboos in the rockery, and the snow was falling, but it was not a place to talk. Seeing that the next group of people was coming, Bai Feng lifted Bai Ying by the shoulders and sent her to the high wall, and then jumped Once inside the palace walls, the entire Shoukang Palace was in a deep sleep, only the faint yellow light was shining in the back hall of the Empress Dowager.
In the apse, Nanny Chen looked at Yan Chi who was kneeling on the ground with red eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness... why... why did you come to this point... tonight is His Highness's wedding night, you..."
The Empress Dowager was lying on the bed with a pale complexion. Seeing that the air was getting less and more out, Yan Chi looked at the Empress Dowager with heavy eyes, stepped forward and took the hand that the Empress Dowager was grabbing carelessly, "Grandmother, grandson is not filial, it's over At this point, the grandson has no choice."
There was a hooting sound in the queen mother's throat, and it took a long time before she said, "You... you just go... Grandma understands."
Yan Chi's eyes moved slightly when he heard these words, but for a moment he couldn't tell what the Empress Dowager meant. The Empress Dowager held Yan Chi's hand tightly, "Okay, good boy, go, go and find Wan girl, from now on, never again... no need … don’t have to come back…”
Tonight is Yan Chi's big wedding night, and Mother Chen never expected that Yan Chi would break into the Shoukang Palace at night, and she didn't understand that the Queen Mother seemed to have expected this, and she didn't look surprised at all, and she didn't understand why the Queen Mother let Yan Chi Chi never has to come back, what happened
Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Yan Chi's heart was filled with turmoil. If the Queen Mother hadn't known the emperor's secret, how could she have said such words
How did the Queen Mother know? Yan Chi subconsciously had doubts, but now was not the time to question them.
Yan Chi hadn't stayed in Beijing for a long time since he was a child, if he had any friendship with anyone, it was only the Empress Dowager and Princess Gong. He could only use the two of them to break the situation. Yan Chi originally thought that the Empress Dowager's trial would be extremely difficult, but he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager had already understood it.
Yan Chi's heart was filled with grief, and he was about to say something when he suddenly heard a few birds chirping outside the window, no bird would dare to show his head in such heavy snow, it was undoubtedly Bai Feng's secret signal, which meant that he had found Qin Wan The whereabouts of Yan Chi's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Grandson is unfilial, please take care of the emperor's grandmother, grandson returned to Shuoxi, and prayed for the emperor's grandmother every day, if there is a day, grandson will plead guilty to the emperor's grandmother..."
While speaking, Yan Chi let go of the Queen Mother's hand, and kowtowed three times towards the Queen Mother.
After kowtowing, Yan Chi got up and backed up, turned around and left the apse. Nanny Chen's eyelashes were filled with tears, looking at Yan Chi's back and the queen mother who was also crying on the bed, she was at a loss for a while, Yan Chi walked quickly After leaving the apse, he was about to find Bai Feng to meet him, but suddenly he saw a little man standing under the eaves.
At this time, the Shoukang Palace had already had a curfew, and all the servants had rested. Yan Chi turned around and walked towards the figure. When he got there, he saw Yan Sui's face pale from the cold. Yan Chi hadn't seen him when he came, which shows that He just came out, but none of the servants of Shoukang Palace found him, how did he know that an outsider came
Yan Chi walked up to Yan Sui, but Yan Sui didn't panic or cry out, just stared at him blankly, and then glanced behind him again.
Yan Chi knew who he was looking for, so he couldn't help but knelt down and said, "She's in the palace, I'm going to take her away, do you remember the instructions she gave you?"
The snow covered his head and face and was blown under the eaves by the cold wind. Yan Sui stood there blankly, as if he didn't feel the cold at all. After a pause, he nodded slowly. Yan Chi touched the top of his hair, Patted his immature shoulder again, raised his chin to signal him to go back.
Yan Sui gritted his teeth, turned around and took two steps stiffly. Hearing the sound of Yan Chi's leaving footsteps, he suddenly turned around and looked at Yan Chi. He followed Yan Chi subconsciously, as if he wanted to leave with Yan Chi, but But he stopped abruptly, and after a while, he turned around and walked quickly towards his side hall.
…
Qin Wan and the others were extremely anxious.
With the situation tonight, there must be martial law inside and outside the palace. Although Bai Ying is good at fighting, she cannot defeat a hundred with one enemy, not to mention that the imperial guards are equipped with bows, crossbows, swords and swords. If Bai Ying was captured, she lost her only chance.
Outside the high wall, the wind and snow made the ten guards hardly able to hold on. If they were walking and moving in the wind and snow, it would be fine. Guarding so motionless, the cold had already penetrated into the marrow of the bones, except for one or two bodies. Extraordinarily strong, the others have already lost their minds and their hands and feet are stiff.
The snow water seeped into the armor and drenched the clothes, taking away the remaining body temperature. Soon, the clothes next to the body were also frozen into hard shells, and the whole body rustled when walking. He simply sat down on the leeward side, but in this way, people were even more dizzy from the cold. Just when everyone was about to be unable to hold on, a group of guards suddenly walked over the palace road not far away. Jun, when they saw someone coming, they were all refreshed.
Beiyuan is remote and there is no patrol guard. There are also dozens of people who came this time. It seems that they are here to replace them.
Several people struggled to sit up and looked at the visitor expectantly, but the leader Xiaoqiwei frowned slightly.
"Whose order are you here?! Commander Lin?"
Bai Feng walked in the front and said calmly, "You brothers have worked hard. Commander Xiao Lin asked us to come. An urgent report came from Yingzhou. Commander Lin has been sent by His Majesty to do other things. Now Commander Xiao Lin is in charge The guards in the palace, the brothers go to rest first, and come back to change defense after dawn."
Having said that, Captain Xiao was relieved, he had never seen Bai Feng before, if he came here under the order of Commander Lin, it would be strange.
Everyone else was happy, and some couldn't help but cheered. Bai Feng led the people and stood outside the courtyard gate. Then the Xiaoqiwei waved his hand and planned to take the people away. Xiaoqiwei walked in the front, subconsciously moving Rubbing his shoulders, but just as he passed by a soldier of the Imperial Guard, Lieutenant Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the person who passed him lowered his head, his face hidden under the helmet I can't see it clearly, but he followed in the team, clearly in the back position, but the whole person's aura is very different. This Xiaoqiwei doesn't know how to describe it, but he always feels that this person must not be just an ordinary soldier. He stopped to look at this person for a while, and suddenly, he keenly caught the sharp light in this person's eyes. At this moment, Xiao Qiwei gasped, and immediately shouted, "Stop! Who are you?!"
Yan Chi had already passed by Captain Xiaoqi, but he didn't stop when he was yelled at by Captain Xiaoqi, as if he didn't know that it was him who was called by Captain Xiaoqi.
But Captain Xiao was unwilling to give up, and took a few steps forward to grab Yan Chi's shoulder, "What about you, which battalion are you from..."
As soon as the words fell, Captain Xiao's hand fell on Yan Chi's shoulder, but before he could exert force, a stronger force fell on his wrist, and Captain Xiao felt a piercing pain, and he was still Before he could react, the whole person was thrown to the ground in a dizzy situation. In an instant, all the people who came to exchange value were shot like leopards. The fish and meat were slaughtered. After the initial shock, Captain Xiaoqi immediately realized that there was not much to do. However, before he could yell out, more force fell on the side of his neck. Captain Xiaoqi's eyes suddenly bulged, and even He couldn't even cry out so he closed his eyes.
"Clean it up and drag it into the yard."
Yan Chi gave the order, without further words, he walked towards the courtyard.
Qin Wan in the room raised his heart when he heard the movement. If it was just for exchange, it would be impossible for someone to enter the yard. Either they came to interrogate the two of them, or Bai Ying was discovered. Which one it is is a great disadvantage to her at the moment.
Qin Wan didn't have anything long on her body, and she didn't even bring her dagger with her. However, in the face of the upcoming danger, she straightened her dress and sat down in front of the couch calmly and tenaciously.
With a sound of "squeak", the door was pushed open, the wind and snow outside the door were drawn in, and a long shadow cast into the door, Qin Wan tensed his back, with a cold expression on his face, but suddenly, A figure flashed in, and Qin Wan met a pair of worried eyes. Qin Wan was startled, thinking for a moment that he was dreaming.
Yan Chi hurried to the door, opened the door and saw Qin Wan sitting indifferently in front of the couch, he was overjoyed at first, and then saw Qin Wan's vigilance and indifferent attitude, and felt distressed immediately, He walked faster and pulled Qin Wan into his arms, "Wanwan—"
Qin Wan came to his senses when he leaned in front of Yan Chi, "You! Why did you enter the palace! Is the emperor planning to do something to us?"
Yan Chi said "Yes", "Zhao Yu followed orders, but I saw through it."
Qin Wan grabbed Yan Chi's arm tightly, "Then why do you dare to enter the palace?"
Yan Chi smiled, and raised his hand to close the cloak on her body, "You are in the palace, I will come too."
Qin Wan's heart was moved, "Then what should we do now?"
"I have met the imperial grandmother, we will leave the capital tonight."
Leaving tonight means that the plan has been advanced. Looking at Yan Chi's Imperial Guard clothes, Qin Wan wonders whether Yan Chi can cope with the sudden change. Yan Chi can see her worry, "Don't worry, I will be able to smoothly."
Qin Wan's heart is at ease, but she can't be completely at ease. There are many guards in the palace, and martial law is even more severe in the imperial city. How can she leave the palace? How to get out of the imperial city
"Bai Ying went to Shoukang Palace..."
"Yes, she is outside."
Qin Wan felt relieved and hurriedly said, "Leave the palace now?"
Yan Chi glanced at the hourglass in the corner of the room, shook his head, "Wait another quarter of an hour."
At the same time, a carriage slowly approached among the endless stream of people in front of the noon gate.
More and more officials were called, and the imperial guards guarding the gate of the palace cheered up and did not dare to be slighted. Seeing the new carriage, the imperial guards thought it was some other general and civil servant, but waited. As soon as the car door opened, a middle-aged woman in a plain white cloak walked out. The middle-aged woman was wearing a hood, with a slender figure, her face was hidden under the hood, but she could vaguely see her appearance. It can be seen that the person is quiet and elegant.
The guards of several guards looked at each other in blank dismay. Who came here at such a late hour and in such a chaotic time
Everyone only knows that His Majesty has summoned many generals, but they don't know which noble lady His Majesty has summoned
Thinking in this way, the lady has already walked forward with an umbrella under the umbrella, and the wind and snow are howling. According to the imperial order of the palace, the old mother holding an umbrella stepped forward and said, "Princess Gong Gong is asking to see Your Majesty, please pass it on—"
