Wishful Things

Confirming again and again that he had never seen the figure of Wu Jingming, the son of Prince Dingnan, the fingers that Emperor Qingming tried to clenched trembled uncontrollably again.

Why isn't Prince Dingnan here? !

Prince Dingnan's son...

Queen...

Queen Mother...

Thinking of a possibility, Emperor Qingming seemed to be able to sense the chill emerging from the deepest part of his heart, his limbs and bones were immersed in the bottomless cold pool, and the icy water submerged his head little by little. It was so cold that his blood froze all over his body.

If this is the case, it will not only be that people are missing, not only that all the most important hostages in his hands have escaped, but it also means that... the Xu family, the Yan Palace, and the Wu family... are going to openly rebel together!

The Xu family colluded openly with Prince Yan's Mansion, so he didn't have too many surprises...

But how could the Wu family do it? !

Yes, the Wu family is biased towards King Yan, which is a huge thorn in his heart that has never been pulled out, but what he guards against is that the Wu family is neutral on the surface, but in fact is secretly helping King Yan...

But now this matter...

If the Empress and Wu Jingming really escaped, then the Wu family would have put their rebellious intentions on the surface, and they would not just help each other in secret!

Ordinarily, this is not something the Wu family can do, nor is it Wu Jun's usual style of doing things...

Before the situation is clear, he blatantly helped King Yan to rebel, which is tantamount to claiming the name of a traitor and traitor. Does the dignified Ningyang Wu family even care about the face of the family?

The aristocratic family is hypocritical and noble, and those who are willing to be seen by others are all so-called glamorous and dignified aristocratic families to maintain the prestige and aloofness in the hearts of the world, so how can they give up their face and send their daughters who are sent to the palace to be the queen? The eldest son who was rewarded to be an official in Beijing escaped from Beijing in such a ridiculous way? !

Yes……

Out of Beijing!

There are frequent accidents at the moment, it may not be because of Xia Tingzhen's name to confuse his attention!

If all of this is really the arrangement of Xu and Wu's family, Zhang Luo's purpose of making such a big show is definitely to escape from the capital!

"Han Yan!" Emperor Qingming suddenly raised his eyes, his pale complexion showed a cold livid color, and every vein and blood vessel was almost clearly visible.

"The minister is here." Han Yan took a step forward.

"Send me an order to block the exits of all the city gates immediately! People must be strictly guarded, and no one will be let go! If there is even the slightest difference, you will all raise your heads to see me!"

Han Yan's heart trembled: "Yes!"

"In addition to those assassins, the duke of the town needs to be found as soon as possible. The duke is seriously injured. I—— don't want to see him make any mistakes!"

The emperor's tone was so cold that he almost lost his composure. When the ministers heard this, their hearts fell heavily.

Is the emperor suspecting that all this today has something to do with Lord Zhen Guo? !

How could Duke Zhen do such a thing!

When talking about loyalty, righteousness, uprightness, up to the court, down to Liming common people, who would not think of General Xu first?

When he was young, he followed the late emperor to conquer Daqing, and over the years, he helped His Majesty put down countless hidden dangers. Compared with Xia Shoufu, who manipulated power, ruled out dissidents by all means, and was a gossip around the emperor, Zhen Guogong is the real backbone of Daqing!

Xia Tingzhen fell down again and again——

Ke Zhen Guogong is different!

At such a juncture, if the Duke of Zhen is rebellious, it will be like the last mountain supporting the country collapses, and the hearts of the people will inevitably fall apart, and even the morale of the army will be a heavy blow!

Xu Jiajun's prestige is intimidating inside and outside, not to mention that the Duke of Youzhen personally sits in the town!

I can't think about it, I can't think about it, and if I think about it again, I feel that the sky is going to collapse!

The faces of the ministers turned pale, and the surroundings fell silent for a while.

This silence is like an abyss, black and bottomless, at the edge of it, giving people only fear.

"Brother, will Madam come back? Why did those people arrest Madam?" The choked up voice of Princess Jingrong broke the silence.

Princess Yufeng silently glanced at the emperor's dead face.

Ignorance is fearlessness, her family, Xie Dingning, is really strong...

After a while, Emperor Qingming looked at his younger sister.

"Don't worry, I'll be back—"

This tone was not so much to appease his sister, but more like a promise to himself.

"Your Majesty, the traces of the assassins and others are being pursued and investigated everywhere. Your Majesty's dragon body is unwell. This temple is not a place to stay for a long time. It is better for the ministers to escort your Majesty back to the palace first, and then make the remaining arrangements." A minister said. suggested.

Hey, no matter how bad the stall is, it can't be ignored.

No matter how useless the emperor is, he can't just throw it away.

Emperor Qingming pursed his trembling lips and nodded.

Li Ji raised his hand to help.

He was supposed to do it according to the rules, but at this moment, he realized that the emperor couldn't use any strength at all, almost all the weight of his body was on his arms.

Realizing this, Li Ji's heart jumped a few times.

The emperor's body...

At this time, the emperor's calm and cold voice sounded beside his ears: "Don't forget that the imperial concubine is still in the middle hall—"

Today's incident, no matter whether the Rong family was coerced by others or because of other reasons, but who instigated it, this bitch will not know!

What is the whole truth? He can't make a conclusion now, and the facts may not be as he guessed, but there is one thing...he will never let anyone escape from the city.

Once those people are allowed to leave the city, the consequences will be unimaginable...

All of this must be settled within the capital!

...

Just when everyone's attention was attracted by the fire in Dali Temple and some people wanted to seize the opportunity to rob the prison, a group of people covered in blood hid in an empty narrow alley.

Going forward in the narrow alley, out of this residential area is Weitang River.

The Taimiao is next to the Imperial Palace, and this is the only way to leave the Imperial Palace and return to the Zhen Guogong Mansion.

It was chosen here, one was unexpected, and the other was because most of the imperial guards were dispatched to the vicinity of Dali Temple, and the second was that this location was the most convenient and time-saving——

In this plan, time is equal to life!

The sound of horseshoes and wheels grinding sounded, and soon stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Three people quickly jumped out of the car.

"grandfather!"

"Duke—"

Xu Mingyi and Wu Chao walked into the alley quickly, and at a glance, the old man's shoulders were bleeding profusely and his lips were turning white.

"No problem, it's just a flesh injury!" Duke Zhen cut off the children's words and urged, "Quick! Don't delay!"

More than a dozen men in black with varying degrees of injury stepped aside immediately, and the people behind them appeared in Xu Mingyi's sight.

"The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Father, Uncle Wu... Hurry up and get in the car!"

There is no time to salute and greet.

Azhu quickly stepped forward to help the queen mother, and sent her and the queen into the carriage where Cui and Xu were.

"Wu Shisun! It's the poor Taoist!" A Taoist squeezed out from the corner, and when he saw the boy appear, he was so moved that he almost cried: "The poor Taoist knows that you haven't forgotten the villain!"

Wu Chao raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

Master Guoshi panicked, why did Wu Shisun have such an expression of "why is this guy here"?

It’s okay, it’s okay, opportunities are created by yourself!

He has never been the kind of passive person when it comes to hugging his thighs!

"Pindao understands that at such a juncture, the official business of the grandson and the general must not be delayed!" The National Teacher did not say any more, he chose another carriage and got into it quickly.

"...It was an accident. I didn't want to get into trouble, so I took it with me. I'll talk about it later." Supported by his son, Lord Zhen Guo glanced at the people behind him: "As for these two, Zhao Zhao and A Yuan came to make up their minds. .”

Xu Mingyi looked over and nodded, "Grandpa, get into the carriage to rest quickly, there are wound medicines in the carriage."

The two sons of Xu and Wu supported Zhen Guogong to get on the carriage.

"Thank you all for today—"

Wu Chao clasped his fists at the dozen or so men in black.

Everyone tore off their scarves to return the gift. Under the scarves were ordinary faces, not invulnerable objects.

Most of these people are still young, and a bloody battle has not seen any difference, but the thank you said by the young man made a few of them red-eyed.

The boy's eyes fell on those faces in turn.

These are all the secret guards of his Wu family who have been hiding in the capital for many years. Most of them have been kept in the dark since they were young. To put it cruelly, it is for this day.

But even so, he still can't be untouched. Everyone is a flesh and blood body, and there is pain and fear when fighting.

Some things must be done, and someone has to sacrifice. All he can do is to minimize casualties, and prevent these sacrifices and blood from becoming meaningless.

Grandpa said what he did was not wise, the wise don't have that choice, no one would do that—

If there is no such person, he will be that person.

"Young master, it's all done!"

Another black shadow flashed into the alley, it was Xiao Qi.

Everywhere deliberately confuses the court's sight, and all false clues to help the brothers escape have been arranged.

Wu Chao confessed: "Bring them back to the secret room of the teahouse to recuperate. No matter what happens or hears any news recently, they are not allowed to leave the teahouse. If there is something urgent, Mr. Mo and Mr. Jiu from the Pingqing Pavilion will make up their minds."

"Yes, subordinates, remember!"

According to the plan, the mule cart responsible for purchasing in the teahouse will arrive soon.

On the other side, the nanny holding the child was kneeling in front of Xu Mingyi and begging, "...my little prince can be used as a hostage anyway, please show me your hand!"

At that time, she bumped into Lord Zhen Guo by mistake, she thought to herself, Lord Zhen Guo is reliable, with Lord Zhen Guo protecting him, how could those assassins hurt her?

Halfway through, she suddenly felt something was wrong——

Why did Duke Zhen, who was still fighting with those men in black just now, stop fighting?

After killing those guards in turn, he took her and the little prince with him and ran away!

She is completely stupid!

The other party obviously wanted to take the little prince as a hostage, in case of accidents, to deal with possible pursuers on the road, but the pursuers did not appear in time, so she was brought here all the way!

She was sent to her door as a hostage first, and now she is begging to be a hostage. Her fate is too twists and turns!

"Take it along with you." Xu Mingyi confessed to Ah Zhu.

Now if she is asked to kill the old and the young with one blow, she will not be able to pass the test in her heart.

It's just stuffed into the carriage, there are not many of these one or two.

Ah Zhu hesitated for a while: "Girl, adults are easy to talk about, but I'm afraid the little ones will cry—"

"Isn't that simple?" Xu Mingyi glanced at her.

Ah Zhu nodded: "My servant understands."

Mammy was terrified to hear this half-understood dialogue.

As soon as Azhu finished speaking, she grabbed her up and stuffed her and the little prince into the carriage.

"We should go." Xu Mingyi looked at Wu Chao, then at Xiao Qi: "Be careful in the city."

"Miss Xu, don't worry!" Xiao Qi laughed.

It was rare for Wu Chao not to feel uncomfortable, and he also said: "Self-protection is the top priority in everything, and you can wait for news with peace of mind."

Xiao Qi responded: "My lord and Ms. Xu should also be careful along the way!"

Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi nodded.

Without further delay, the two turned and walked towards the carriage.

"Don't worry, I will take care of the Duke's injuries." As he walked quickly, Wu Chao did not forget to comfort the girl beside him.

He got into the carriage of Lord Zhen Guo.

Xu Mingyi went back to the original one, stepped on the front of the carriage, and told the driver: "Hurry up—"

The carriage moved immediately.

When Xu Mingyi got into the car, he saw the nanny leaning upside down in the corner, her eyes closed tightly, apparently unconscious.

And the other four people sitting in the car, from Cui Shi to Xu Shi, to the Empress and Empress Dowager, all had no abnormal expressions on their faces.

"Girl, what should I do with this child?" Ah Zhu stiffly hugged the crying child who had woken up from the start, and the adult just slapped the child unconsciously. For such a small and soft doll, she was afraid that her hands would not be heavy. It's gone again.

"Give it to me." Just as the queen was about to speak, she heard the girl rush ahead of her and say what she wanted to say.

Seeing Xu Mingyi taking the child, Empress Dowager Xu and the others all looked over curiously.

Will the grandson's (daughter) daughter-in-law still coax the children in the future?

In sight, the girl was holding the child in one hand, and with the other hand, she took out a small slender porcelain bottle from her waist.

The cork of the porcelain bottle was pulled out, and the girl pointed the mouth of the bottle over the child's nose and mouth.

The child's crying gradually weakened.

Then, the eyes were also closed.

Xu Mingyi returned the child to Ah Zhu.

Facing everyone's eyes, the girl smiled calmly: "It's quiet like this."

It's not a powerful drug, and if a child is young, he can sleep for a while after sniffing it lightly.

At special times, with special means, a cry spread out, and a group of people's lives were lost. Since she decides to take this child, she has the responsibility to deal with it properly, otherwise she will harm others and herself.

The Queen Mother also smiled: "It's a safe and good way..."

Her grandson's daughter-in-law was doing things in such a way that no one could find a single fault.

But... this should only be used as an emergency, and it won't be used on your own dolls in the future, right? The doll is in a panic, smell it, the doll doesn't sleep, smell it again?

The queen and Mrs. Xu came back to their senses and nodded in agreement.

In contrast, Cui Shi was very calm from the beginning to the end, without expectations or surprises, everything was reasonable in her opinion.

If I really want to say something, I'm quite proud-it's reassuring to have her family Zhaozhao in this car.

The carriage headed all the way towards the city gate.

Out of caution, no one in the car spoke again, and the atmosphere gradually tensed up in the silence.

No one dared to lift the curtain to look out, but they were always paying attention to the movement outside the car, calculating the distance in their hearts.

The city gate should be approaching soon...

Today's plan has been going well so far, and the most important step in this plan is to get out of the city.

All the preparations, all the sacrifices, all the misleading... are all for the purpose of being able to leave this cage-like capital.

Xu Mingyi's ten fingers were clenched unconsciously all the time - as long as this step is completed, the rest is to fight the court head-on, but there is no need to be restrained anymore!
