The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 12 The Palace Gate
Nie Chuanpei is leading two teams of guards from Nanhua Gate to cross the Tengyun Bridge on the moat and change defense to Xuanhe Gate.The original guards on both sides of Xuanhe Gate retreated, and retreated along the corridors on the left and right sides of Xuanhe Gate to Beique Gate and Nanhua Gate respectively.

Chang Ji ran across the Tengyun Bridge, and the guards in front of Xuanhe's gate saw someone rushing towards them, and they all grabbed the sabers around their waists.

Nie Chuanpei said loudly: "Your Highness, stop!"

Chang Wei ignored him and rushed over.

Nie Chuanpei shouted: "Your Highness! The palace is under martial law, and no one is allowed to approach the gate of the palace. Otherwise, they will be punished as treason."

Before Chang Ji got close to Xuanhe Gate, two guards had already stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders, one left and one right, trying to stop her.The thick and powerful hands of the two guards were like iron hoops, Chang Ji broke free from their restraints and ran straight towards Xuanhe Gate.

"Your Highness!"

Nie Chuanpei was ruthless and selfless. When Changji was fifty steps away from Xuanhemen, he drew out the saber at his waist according to the law.Seeing the commander drawing his sword, all the imperial guards immediately drew their swords, and there was a sound of sword drawing in front of Xuanhe's door.

Chang Ji kept walking, without squinting, his two cold eyes fixed on the two palace gates that were as tall and heavy as mountains in front of him.

She wants to break through!

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Panting, Tan Qing chased after her, hugged Chang Min's waist from behind, and dragged her back a few steps, "What is Your Highness going to do? Right now, martial law is underway. If Your Highness breaks through the palace gate, It's treason. Conspiracy!"

Chang Wei was taken aback for a moment, she trembled and panted, and said to Tan Qing: "I want to go back to Shenshan Mansion..."

She turned to look at Nie Chuanpei and said, "I want to go out."

"The gate of the palace is under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." Nie Chuanpei said solemnly, "If your highness must leave the palace at this time, you must show your majesty's imperial decree. If not, please show your royal jade card when the palace gate opens tomorrow. Of course you can leave the palace."

Emperor Chu was in charge of the imperial conquest, and everything in the palace was in the hands of the queen. To get a jade tablet from the palace, one had to go to the Zhonghe Palace to ask the queen.Even if she is willing to ask, the queen may not give it.

Chang Wei frowned tightly, and continued to move forward. Nie Chuanpei raised his hand and placed the long sword between him and Chang Wei.He wanted to intimidate Chang'an with this, but Chang'e didn't change his face, his eyes were cold and gloomy, sharp as a sword, and he stared at Nie Chuanpei closely.

She took a step forward, and another step.

Nie Chuanpei stood still, in this silent confrontation, he felt oppressed for no reason.He twisted his eyebrows and looked at Chang'an, bean-sized beads of sweat had unknowingly formed on his eyebrows, the tip of the sword was about to touch Chang's chest, he paused, and took a step back holding the sword.

Seeing him retreating, all the imperial guards followed Nie Chuanpei to Xuanhe Gate.

"Your Highness..." Tan Qing yelled worriedly, not knowing what to do, she couldn't persuade Chang Wei, so she had to follow Chang Wei step by step.

When he was ten steps away from Xuanhe Gate, Nie Chuanpei couldn't retreat anymore, he suddenly pointed the tip of his sword at the ground, and knelt with the sword: "I beg your Highness to step back, at this moment, His Highness can't get out of the palace gate no matter what... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Chang'an's hand passed by her waist, a bright cold light came out from her waist, and the flexible and cold blade of Kun's sword was attached to Nie Chuanpei's neck.

"Open the door." Chang Ji said coldly, "Don't think that I dare not kill you."

Seeing this, all the imperial guards changed their faces, holding the hilts of their swords with both hands nervously, their sharp blades were all facing the long shafts, but none of them dared to step forward, they could only anxiously maintain a vigilant posture.

"Your Highness!"

Tan Qing stomped her feet anxiously, she had served Chang Wei since she was a child, she understood Chang Wei's temperament, let alone killing a guard commander, now the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here to stop her, if she wants to kill, she can do it with a single sword Kill people.

I can only say earnestly: "Your Highness! Your Highness absolutely must not! If you kill the commander of the imperial guards, you will really be treasonous. If your Highness does this, even Shenshan Mansion will be destroyed."

Her words finally made Zhang Wei feel apprehensive. She glanced at the palace gate that was close at hand, and then at Nie Chuanpei who was kneeling on the ground. She grabbed the clothes on his shoulders with one hand and held Nie Chuan with a sword Pei said to the guards, "Open the door."

Blood was already seen on Nie Chuanpei's neck, and he straightened his neck without changing his expression.All the imperial guards looked at each other, and no one dared to move.

"Open the door!!!" She sneered again.

"Your Highness, don't embarrass them. They can't open this palace door if they want." Nie Chuanpei calmly explained under the edge of Kun's sword, "Any palace gate in Tai'an Palace has double locks inside and outside. Once it arrives, the inner key and the outer lock fall at the same time, not to mention the outer lock, it is the inner key..."

He pointed to the place where the key was placed under the palace gate and said: "You need the jade key in your majesty's hand to open it. Now that your majesty is personally conscripting, the jade key is in the hands of the queen of the palace. Even if your majesty kills me, you can't open it without this jade key." Get the palace gate."

Chang Ji looked at Tan Qing, who nodded hurriedly and said, "What the Commander said is true, it is true, Your Highness, put down the sword first."

Nie Chuanpei said: "Your Highness, please go back to the palace first. I assure Your Highness that the Zhonggong will not know what happened tonight. Tomorrow, I will try to send His Highness out of the palace. What do you think?"

Chang'an narrowed his eyes to look at him. Seeing her hesitation, Tan Qing took the opportunity to persuade her, "Your Highness, just listen to what the Commander has to say. Your Highness is going out of the palace today, not to mention being charged with treason, and even implicating Shen Shan Mansion and the Fourth Princess. The Eldest Young Master is now on the battlefield, fighting every day. Many people's lives are counted on him. If he is not careful, thousands of people will die. When His Highness fell into the water, the Eldest Young Master was worried all day long. I have to send several letters a day to ask. Your Highness is fine now, if something happens again, how can Eldest Young Master go to battle and kill the enemy with peace of mind?"

Chang Ji remained silent, and after a while, she let go of Nie Chuanpei.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she had put away the sword.

Nie Chuanpei also put his saber back into its sheath, and still respectfully saluted Chang Wei with his fists cupped: "It's getting late at night, I escort your highness back to the palace."

Chang Wei turned around and walked back, Tan Qing hurriedly raised the palace lantern to lead the way, and Nie Chuanpei followed behind her a few steps.After walking a few steps, Xuanhe suddenly heard a loud noise outside the door, like thunder, as if the ground was shaking.

Chang Ji immediately turned his head, and Nie Chuanpei also stopped, showing panic.

Immediately there was another loud noise outside Xuanhe's door, Chang Ji heard it clearly now, it was the sound of the drum on the turret outside Xuanhe's door, the drummer seemed to be in a panic, and he beat the drum out of tune .

When the last drum beat stopped, Nie Chuanpei looked in the direction of the palace gate and asked dully, "How many times did the drum beat?"

"Nine strokes." Chang Ji said.

Nie Chuanpei's complexion suddenly turned pale, and there was a heavy sound of the gate being opened outside Xuanhe's door.At this moment, everyone realized that the outer lock of Xuanhe's door was unlocked.

The gate of the palace that was strictly prohibited to enter and exit after the martial law is about to open!
