Chapter 401 A car crashed into the city gate! (seeking a monthly ticket)
Across half of the garden, Concubine Shu also immediately spotted the Empress Dowager and the others.

With a look of surprise on her face, Concubine Shu tightened her steps a little, and when she arrived in front of the Empress Dowager, she respectfully saluted.

"At this hour," she asked with a smile, "how did you come to the Compassionate Peace Palace?"

The Empress Dowager said, "Why are you here?"

"The concubine didn't sleep well all night, the rain last night was too disturbing." Concubine Shu took the place of the maid and supported the empress dowager, "The concubine thought that you were also disturbed by the rain before and couldn't sleep well, so I wanted to come and see Look at you. It would be great if you are still asleep, and if you are awake, I will have breakfast with you."

"It's still you who are careful," the empress dowager said lightly, "There is nothing wrong with Ai's family, so get up when you wake up. You should go back first."

When Concubine Shu heard this, her face showed embarrassment, and she said hesitantly: "You want to take a walk in the garden? The concubine will accompany you."

The empress dowager looked at her twice: "Forget it, just follow."

After speaking, the empress dowager walked away.

Concubine Shu supported her and followed her all the way without asking her destination.

She actually knew where the empress dowager was going.

Concubine Shu can feel like a fish in water in the Compassionate Ning Palace, so how can she not have some eyeliner?
The little lady in charge of cleaning outside the palace gate was the one who tipped her off.

Therefore, Fu Jieyu entered the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Not long after, the prince hurried out, and another person went to the direction of the Zhonggong. The news quickly reached Concubine Shu's ears.

Concubine Shu, who was sleeping drowsily, lost her drowsiness in an instant.

Concubine Shu didn't know what Fu Jieyu had complained indiscriminately, but it was only a few things that could make the empress dowager anxiously look for the empress before dawn.

A group of people walked outside the central palace, just in time to meet Queen Cheng.

Empress Cheng greeted the empress dowager: "My son is about to go, I don't want my mother to come."

"Since we met here, let's go back to Ai's house." The Empress Dowager said coldly.

The queen nodded naturally.

Concubine Shu helped the Empress Dowager to walk, and when she passed by the Empress, she glanced at her.

Lines of sight intertwine, and soon, it will be closed with one touch.

Empress Cheng saw the solemnity in Concubine Shu's eyes.

The visitor is not good.

A servant in the distance hurriedly ran to report: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress, the rebels outside attacked the city, and the defenders vowed to defend the capital to the death, please rest assured."

Empress Cheng clenched her fingers and followed the empress dowager back to the Palace of Compassion.

The nuns serve tea and refreshments.

The empress dowager tapped the table with her fingertips and asked, "Among the maids who came with you, is there one named Fangrui?"

When Nanny Zhong heard this, she subconsciously looked at Empress Cheng.

Empress Cheng pursed her lower lip.

Now that Fangrui was mentioned, she completely understood the empress dowager's intentions.

The fact that Mrs. Yongning Hou left the palace that night was revealed.

"Fangrui," Empress Cheng said calmly and calmly, "I left the palace last month."

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows: "Going out of the palace?"

"Yes," said Queen Cheng, "the family sent a letter asking when she would be able to leave the palace, and wanted her to return to her hometown to get married. My son thought that she had been serving her for eight years, and he was diligent and diligent, so he gave her some dowry money. Let her go home."

"It's a coincidence," the empress dowager snorted coldly, "But Aijia, the word 'qiao' is the most unbelievable thing!"

Empress Cheng raised her eyes and looked at the empress dowager: "Why did the empress mother say that? What's wrong with Fangrui?"

"She has a fellow villager named Li who is the guard of the palace gate?" the empress dowager asked again.

Empress Cheng decided to pretend to be stupid. After hearing this, she would not answer indiscriminately.

"Really? I don't know," said Empress Cheng and turned to Nanny Zhong again, "Do you know about this?"

Nanny Zhong lowered her eyes and said, "Your servant has never heard of it."

Only then did Empress Cheng face the Empress Dowager again: "I really don't know, what is the Empress Dowager asking?"

"I know you won't recognize it," the Empress Dowager urged Xia Momo, "What about Guard Li? Hurry up and bring him here."

The atmosphere froze.

Even breathing is tight.

At the same time, on the city wall, Wan Cheng did not dare to take a big breath.

Although he grew up in troubled times, he had never encountered two armies fighting so closely.

Looking out from the turret, the ladder car can almost hook the city wall directly.

Bao Kui yelled to stop the enemy from assuming the ladder, and for a while, the city wall was in a mess.

In the chaos, I don't know who yelled: "The car crashed into the city gate!"

Bao Kui almost jumped up.

He couldn't believe his ears.

I didn't see the charging car at all before, even if there was, it should be at the rear of the enemy army. Why did the charging car suddenly go around to the front and hit it?
It's all to blame for the weather!

It was dark and foggy.

If this is summer, the sky will be bright before Maochu!
Bao Kui was so anxious that he didn't care whether it was dangerous or not, so he threw most of his body out of the city wall, wanting to take a look in the direction of the city gate.

Unfortunately, nothing can be seen clearly.

He didn't even hear the rumble that should have been caused by the car crashing into the door in such a mess.

A few soldiers were afraid that Bao Kui would fall, so they rushed up. They were at a loss, some grabbed their arms, some hugged their waists, some pulled their thighs, trying to pull Bao Kui back.

Seeing this situation, Wan Cheng understood, covered his head and rushed out, grabbed Bao Kui's belt with one hand, and pulled his waist card with the other.

Several people tried hard, and when they fell back on the city wall, everyone fell on their backs.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wan Cheng hid the torn badge in his sleeve, and stepped back to prevent Bao Kui from seeing him.

Bao Kui fell badly, and he really didn't bother to see who dragged him back one by one, and he didn't find that his belt was taken away.

All his attention was on the enemy.

Wan Cheng rubbed his arm that hurt from the fall, and rushed down the city wall from the steps on the other side.

Now that the car has reached the gate of the city, as long as the latch is removed, the car will be able to smash open the city gate!

He hurried to the city gate.

Dozens of guards stood inside the door, looking extremely serious.

Unexpectedly, none of them went to the gate, and the city gate remained motionless, showing no signs of being hit at all.

Wan Cheng was shocked.

However, all the guards saw him: "Who?"

It is impossible to hide, Wan Cheng heartbroken, took out his waist card, and said: "There are not enough manpower on the city wall, the commander asked you all to go up the city wall!"

The guards look at me and I look at you, obviously not understanding this order.

"We are all gone, what should we do here?" someone asked.

"The guards at the North City Gate will be here soon," Wan Cheng made up a random sentence, "is it time to explain? Hurry up, hurry up!"

Military orders really do not allow detailed questioning.

Although the messenger in front of him was not wearing a battle robe, his attire made him look like a servant in the yamen.

Furthermore, the token is right in front of your eyes.

They asked no more questions, and trotted away.

Wan Cheng watched them leave, the other soldiers nearby were also very busy, no one cared about him.

His heart almost jumped out of his throat. He just turned his back and walked to the city gate. Suddenly, a person appeared from behind and grabbed his neck from behind.
