This is completely different from the script, okay? Hua Chun raised his eyebrows, and was about to reason, when He Chang'an at the front said: "In this case, let's go back to the palace to get the imperial decree first, and then lead people."
are you crazy? Hua Chun stared, not to mention it was too late to go back to the palace, even if he could go back, the emperor couldn't make the imperial decree. It was obvious that they were going to secretly send people away, so how could they still frame them in black and white with yellow brocade? Isn't that clearly letting the world know that the emperor is playing for selfishness
He Changan turned his head back, his eyes were full of deep meaning, Hua Chun was taken aback, swallowed all the words, and resignedly followed him to turn the horse's head and walk on the way back and forth.
"Follow me." He Chang'an said: "The person guarding this door is obviously not right, if we forcefully barge in, we will put people off."
That's right, Huachun nodded, his brows relaxed a little. If she cared about it, she would be chaotic, but fortunately, He Changan was still rational. The two took a detour to Huafu's backyard, abandoned their horses and climbed over the wall.
He Changan moved gracefully, stood on the top of the wall and looked in. There were soldiers on patrol, but not many, after all, Huafu is not a big place.
"Brother, let's fly all the way over this roof."
"Okay, second brother." Hua Chun nodded: "But you may have to give me a hand first."
Slightly taken aback, He Changan lowered his head, and saw Hua Jinghua hanging on the wall with half of his hand hanging on the wall with his tongue out, apparently exhausted.
By the way, he doesn't know martial arts.
With lips curled up and a low smile, He Changan reached out to wrap his arms around his waist, lifted him up, and said, "Hold me tight."
Hua Chun obediently stretched out her hand, tightly strangled his neck, and then felt weightless for a while. The two jumped off the courtyard wall, climbed up to the eaves, and went to the main courtyard silently all the way.
Hua Mansion was under siege, and the people inside were panic-stricken. Fortunately, the Wan family left early in the morning. Otherwise, Hua Chun would feel a little uneasy if he had to choose someone to rescue. Even if you do things too much, it's still your own father.
Now it's easy, no need to make any choices, just go directly to the main courtyard and take Father Hua out and run away.
"Hua'er?" Hua Zhengrong's face was full of frost, he looked like he was three or four years old, he looked at her in shock and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Hua Chun said: "I'll save you."
Hua Liuying fled privately, and the Hua family would suffer. The emperor must have thought of a way to save her, so it is good to send the old man and Qing Niao away now.
"Okay, okay!" Hua Zhengrong was so moved that he followed them over the wall without looking back.
He Changan hesitated slightly: "Don't you care about the others?"
Hua Chun looked at Father Hua, who waved his hand: "Mr. Ren ran away with Liuying early in the morning! Mrs. Wu is protected by Concubine Shu. If you have extra strength, why don't you go and bring Fifth Young Master out?"
Miss Fourth doesn't want it anymore? Hua Chun frowned and was about to speak when the sound of armor colliding came from a distance.
"Go!" He Changan shouted, immediately rolled Master Hua onto his horse's back, then looked at her anxiously, motioning for her to go ahead.
Hua Chun gritted his teeth and rode his horse into a gallop. He Chang'an followed him and commanded from behind: "Go to the south gate and leave the city."
As early as when Hua Jinghua was declared into the palace, he received the emperor's order to prepare things for the Hua family to escape. But time was short, and there were only the carriage and bedding, together with Qing Ling, waiting outside the south gate.
"The driver will take you to a safe place." He Changan put Hua Zhengrong down and sent him directly to the car: "Don't worry, they are all arranged by the emperor."
"Hey!" Hua Zhengrong burst into tears of gratitude: "Then I'll go first."
Hua Chun pursed her lips, watching him get into the car without looking back, she couldn't help feeling a little bit sympathetic to Hua Xiayu and Hua Jing'an, they are both their own flesh and blood, so Hua Zhengrong shouldn't miss them.
"Master." Qing Niao frowned: "There is no need to leave as a concubine, as a concubine can stay by your side as a maid."
"No." Hua Chun shook his head: "I'm not even sure if I can save my life, what kind of maid are you?"
Those who can save their lives, Qing Ling really wants to say, as long as today's catastrophic day passes, there shouldn't be any major problems tomorrow.
However, seeing her serious expression and thinking about it, she obediently got into the carriage.
As the moon entered dark clouds, the coachman yelled, and the carriage set off on the road.
"Are you sure you don't want to go together?" He Chang'an looked at him worriedly: "If Concubine Hua is not found in Tianming Palace and the emperor doesn't press down, the Hua family, including you, will be the only one who will be able to help you." I can't run away."
"I know." Hua Chun nodded: "But it's not the end yet, so I have to fight for it anyway, what if there is a turning point? If I leave now, then the rest of the Hua family will really die. "
He Changan pursed his lips, and there were many things in his eyes, which made her a little uncomfortable.
"Let's go, go back to the palace." She said: "It depends on tomorrow if it is life or death."
He Changan nodded and followed her into the palace.
With a gloomy face, the emperor came out of Huiming Palace again.
The harem didn't know who was causing the trouble, and people suddenly panicked. They said that Concubine Hua might have been killed. He repeatedly explained to the Queen Mother many times that Concubine Hua disappeared because of disputes, and the Queen Mother was also skeptical.
The imperial guards searched everywhere in the palace. The huge palace probably won't come until dawn.
"Where is Prime Minister Hua?"
"Wait in Zichen Palace with Gong Yuhou."
Quickening his pace, the emperor stepped into the Zichen Hall, and saw He Changan staring at Hua Jinghua with concern, who was sitting motionless on the side, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Everyone sent away?" he asked.
He Changan regained his senses and nodded: "What is the emperor's plan?"
Hua Chun also looked up at him.
"Prince Xi hasn't seen any movement for the time being. I thought he would come out to say that Concubine Hua had fled privately, but he didn't." Yu Wenjie thought for a while, "So let's wait until tomorrow to see what happens."
He Chang'an nodded, then lifted his robe and knelt in front of him: "I have something to ask the emperor."
Slightly startled, Yu Wenjie was a little surprised: "You beg me?"
"Well, it's rare to ask for it once." He Chang'an smiled: "But this time the matter is a bit serious, please the emperor to save Jinghua's life no matter what."
Hua Chun paused and looked at him: "Second Brother..."
"I know that the emperor has always been upright, but he should have changed his mind about Prime Minister Hua." He Chang'an said: "So even if Concubine Hua made a huge mistake this time, please forgive Jinghua's life."
The emperor was slightly displeased: "If no one makes a big fuss tomorrow, you don't need to say that I will save her life. But if someone deliberately provokes trouble, even if I am the emperor, I can't do much."
Hua Chun also knelt down and tugged on Lahe Changan's sleeve: "Second brother, don't worry too much, the emperor is more human now... No, I mean he is more human, he won't watch me die in vain."
"That's right." After thinking for a while, He Chang'an stood up, looked at the person next to him and smiled, "I was the one who panicked a bit. If it can be saved, the emperor has no reason not to."
"It's my luck to have someone like my second brother who loves me like my own brother." Hua Chun sighed, "I don't know what blessings I accumulated in my previous life."
The emperor snorted coldly: "If you have time to talk nonsense here, why don't you go to rest early, maybe what will happen tomorrow."
"Okay." Hua Chun said: "I'll sleep in the side hall of Zichen Hall."
He Chang'an followed suit and nodded: "I have slept in the same bed with you, and now the gate of the palace has been closed."
"No!" Hua Chun and Yu Wenjie answered in unison, quickly and crisply.
He was stunned, frowned slightly, and looked at the two people in front of him again with curious eyes: "Why?"
Because you have to reveal your secrets in the same bed! Hua Chun smiled dryly and looked at the emperor, who said solemnly: "There must be a lot of places that need you tomorrow, and you will definitely not be able to sleep in the same bed with her. You can sleep in the side hall alone. Look at the brochure."
When you are so nervous, can you see a ghost? He Changan frowned, but before he could resist, Hua Jinghua had already supported him and walked out.
That's right, he thought about it, if he really slept in the same bed, it would be embarrassing if something happened. Shaking his head, He Changan resigned to his fate and went to the side hall.
After the gate closed, Hua Chun felt her legs were weak, she crawled to the emperor's feet and squatted down, with a frustrated face: "I have a bad feeling."
"I have it too."
"Then what should I do?" Hua Chunping said: "I haven't been regarded as the first prime minister in the ages, and I haven't left my name in history. I can't just be implicated like this."
"It's not enough if it's gone." The emperor said, "It depends on how you behave tomorrow."
The worst plan is that everyone knows that Concubine Hua fled privately, and then the Hua family will be implicated, and Hua Chun will be demoted along with it. With the support of the Queen Mother and him, there will be no severe punishment.
However, it turns out that Yu Wenjie still thought too simple.
As dawn broke, news came from the palace—according to the report from the guards at the West Palace Gate, Concubine Hua had left the palace with her maid of honor, and she was holding a fake waist card, which was only discovered now.
The queen mother was furious, and wanted to hide it and deal with it privately, but the news flew all over the court and the public in an instant, as if she had grown wings.
So above the court, Li Zhongtang directly impeached him, asking the emperor to deal with the matter strictly.
"It's unheard of and unheard of for a concubine to escape privately. It really shames the royal family and embarrasses the emperor!" General Meng also said: "According to the law, concubines who flee privately should be arrested and executed, and their family members should also be held accountable. "
Hua Chun closed her eyes, she also wanted to behave well, but faced with the questioning and condemnation of the court, she could only kneel down and kowtow to the emperor.
"Concubine Hua is the prime minister's younger sister." Prince Xi stood beside him and said calmly: "The emperor has always favored the prime minister, and this time is no exception. But forgive me, if the emperor gives a lighter punishment for such a matter, then the harem Those who want to escape are even more unscrupulous, and my royal face will be lost again and again."
The emperor said: "I know how to measure. Concubine Hua has done something wrong, and the prime minister should sit down. However, the prime minister has made many achievements, so it should be able to offset some of the guilt."
