Chapter 142 The Prince Is Safe
Chang Ning quickly got up and supported Fu Rong with both hands. "Sister-in-law, you are an imperial concubine, how can you give such a great gift." Chang Ning said to Fu Rong. "Chang Ning, don't treat me as a concubine anymore, just treat me as the ordinary Emei disciple two or three years ago. I really miss that time, you, me, and the elder sister lived together in Emei and in the Green Willow Villa How nice it would be if time could turn back the days we lived. I, Fu Rong, am not afraid of life and death, but Wen Run is so young, I really don’t want him to die. Seeing our friendship in the past, save Wen Run.” Fu Rong broke down in tears and said.Chang Ning's heart skipped a beat, she is also a mother, mother and child are connected, so why don't you know Furong's thoughts, but there are too many scruples about saving the prince, if you don't do it, your father will be dissatisfied, and it will be bad for Qingming and the Zhang family in the future .How to keep Furong's child without being suspected by his father, Chang Ning thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a good way.She had no choice but to comfort Fu Rong, saying: "Sister-in-law Huang, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. You can try to contact Qingming again and see if they can do anything."

Nanjing, Jiulong Temple, Qingxiu Hall.

Without too much effort, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min got rid of Jin Yiwei's pursuit, crossed the back wall, walked through the woods, and arrived at Qingxiu Hall.King Yin Ye had been waiting in the Qingxiu hall for a long time. Seeing Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min coming, he stood up to greet him, "Wuji," paused, and then said, "Hi, Mrs. Master." "Uncle, your family is welcome. Min Min, come to meet uncle." Zhao Min ignored him, and said coldly to King Yinye, "Commander Yin, please sit down." After hearing this, King Yinye sat down without saying much. "Uncle, I heard from Zhu'er that both cousins ​​have been placed under house arrest in the palace. Is there such a thing?" I was about to retire and return to my hometown, but my wish failed. Now that Nanjing is in turmoil, my uncle has nothing else to ask but to keep his family safe. Now in Nanjing, only you, the Zhang family, can talk to King Yan, so my uncle has no choice but to look for you "Yin Ye Wang begged. "Commander Yin, it stands to reason that you and King Yan have never been hostile. Even if the city of Nanjing is destroyed, you will not lose your life. Why are you so worried?" Zhao Min asked King Yinye. "The leader's wife doesn't know that the Imperial Forest Army is in charge of the last line of defense outside the palace city. If the Yan army enters the city, the Imperial Forest Army must resist and defend the imperial city to the death. Otherwise, Jin Yiwei will kill the hostages under house arrest. My two sons will be placed under house arrest in the palace." , I am also in a dilemma." "Oh, so that's the case. If you can rescue your two sons from the palace, wouldn't you have nothing to worry about?" Zhao Min asked. "Of course, if my two sons can be rescued from the palace, Yin will definitely open the door to welcome the Yan army." Yinye Wang Yizheng said.Zhao Min thought to himself, indeed, the building is about to collapse, everyone has their own concerns.During Qingming Changning Guangding's big wedding, King Yinye was still in high spirits, but now he is begging Wuji to protect himself.If Wuji really became the emperor back then, if this day came, these so-called brothers would probably do the same.

Thinking of this, Zhao Min smiled and said: "Commander Yin, don't worry, Wuji and I will do our best to protect your family. It's just that we are deep in the inner garden of the palace. Ji should study carefully." "Mrs. Master, I know that you and Wuji will definitely help me. The Xichang and Fan Yao's Jinyiwei newly established by the eunuch Chang Hai in the palace are deployed. The specific deployment is not very clear. However, before I came, I had I have prepared the palace layout for your reference." Then, he took out a scroll from the cabinet and spread it on the table. "My child is under house arrest in Suzaku Palace, three houses away from the outer city," Yin Yewang said. "This location is not far from the outer city gate, so it shouldn't be difficult to rescue them." Zhang Wuji asked. "Where is Princess Changning imprisoned?" Zhao Min asked. "I'm not sure about this, but if important people are under house arrest, they are usually detained in Xuanwu Palace." King Yinye pointed to a house in the center of the deep palace. "Okay, Commander Yin, I'll go back and study the rescue method, and wait for our good news." Zhao Min closed the scroll and said. "Then thank you Wuji and the leader's wife." King Yin Ye got up and kowtowed, watching the two go away.

On the way back to the hotel, Wuji bowed his head and remained silent.Zhao Min held Wuji's arm, and said with a smile, "Wuji, what do you mean when a tree falls and the monkeys disperse?" "Yes, when the building is about to collapse, everyone is looking for a way out for themselves. Back then, I always felt that my brothers were loyal people for the sake of the common people, now it seems that I was really wrong." Wuji's hand firmly wrapped around Zhao Min's shoulder, his eyes were full of affection.

……

It was dusk when we returned to the Emei Hotel.Zhiruo, Luliu, and Qingming have been waiting in the hotel for a long time. "Mother, what's the matter? Is there a way to save Chang Ning?" Qingming asked anxiously.Zhao Min unfolded the map in his hand on the table and said: "This trip has been very fruitful. Not only did I have the layout map of the palace, but I almost determined where Chang Ning was imprisoned. I also reached a tacit understanding with King Yin Ye, and I can pass through the defense of the Imperial Forest Army without much effort." , it will be much easier to enter the palace." Zhao Min said while looking at the map. "Mother, when are we going to rescue Chang Ning?" Qingming asked hastily. "If Chang Ning is imprisoned in Xuanwu Palace," Zhao Min pointed to the map, and said, "Xuanwu Palace is located in the center of the palace, densely covered with checkpoints, and it is very difficult to approach unless there is someone inside to respond. From this point of view, Fu Rong is really the only way to save Chang Ning .”

"However, Fu Rong insists on us saving her prince first, so what should we do?" Lu Liu asked Zhao Min.Zhao Min thought for a while and said: "It's not too difficult to bring her prince out of the palace. Taking the prince out of Nanjing City is exactly what Mr. Wen wished for. The main reason is that there are too many scruples about saving the prince, and the royal family fights. It is a bloodline struggle. If the King of Yan knows that we saved Mr. Wen’s flesh and blood, he will definitely be suspicious, and there will be a gap with Qingming in the future. Even if the child is rescued, as long as he can find it, he will not only be executed, but will also be implicated in a lot of troubles. Innocent. Now I have to find a way to get rid of the Zhang family, the Sun Moon Sect, and even Emei and Wudang, and at the same time save the child. Let me think about it again." "Mother, if it doesn't work, go to the palace Now, more than 200 Sun Moon Sect masters led by Zhou Dian have been scattered all over Nanjing, and they can be transferred at any time. Also, Yang Zuoshi also rushed to Nanjing from the Western Regions." Qingming said to Zhao Min. "Why is Yang Zuo envoy here? Hasn't he already lived in seclusion outside the Great Wall and doesn't care about world affairs?" Zhang Wuji asked puzzled. "Wuji, Yang Zuoshi's daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and Fu Rong are all in Nanjing. Now that Nanjing is in turmoil, how can Yang Zuoshi not worry about it?" Zhao Min said to Wuji.Zhao Min suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to Qingming: "There is a way, Qingming, you should immediately contact Yang Zuoshi and ask him to come to the residence to discuss matters. Mother has something to talk to him about."

In the imperial city and deep palace, Chang Ning savored the sweet-scented osmanthus cake sent by Fu Rong. "Little sister Chang Ning, Junior Brother Qingming has news." Fu Rong said happily to Chang Ning. "Oh, what news?" Chang Ning asked quickly. "Today in the imperial garden, when the court lady delivered tea, a handkerchief was placed on the tray. Apart from embroidered landscapes, there was also a small poem on it. I don't know what it means. Come and take a look, little sister Chang Ning." Chang Ning took the handkerchief , there is a small poem above, "There are friends thousands of miles away, and guests are scattered with autumn leaves. Come to listen to the water chestnut song and visit the three thousand worlds." After looking at it, he said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this is a Tibetan acrostic poem. , the first four words - there is a visitor. You are going to have a distinguished visitor." "A visitor, who will it be? What is the matter?" Fu Rong asked puzzled.Chang Ning thought for a moment, and said: "No accident, it should be to save Wen Run. In fact, it is not difficult to bring Wen Run out of the palace, because Wen Run is the blood of Mr. Wen, and my father will punish him." , really have too many scruples. Riyuejiao, Emei, Wudang, including our Zhang family, are not convenient to come forward. If you guess correctly, there is only one person who is suitable for this matter." "Who could it be?" "Your grandfather, Guangming Left Envoy Yang Xiao." Chang Ning said word by word.

……

"How could it be my grandfather?" Fu Rong asked puzzled. "Your parents and elder brother all live in the palace. Visiting relatives is a good reason to enter the palace smoothly; besides, your grandfather is alone and has returned home, so no one else will be involved; more importantly, your grandfather lives in seclusion in the Western Regions. The Western Regions are not the territory of Ming Dynasty, so you don't have to worry about being chased and killed." Chang Ning said frantically. "Grandpa is already seventy years old, and my child is less than one year old. The Western Regions have been a place of bitter cold since ancient times. How can I rest assured?" Fu Rong said sadly, tears streaming down her face.

Nanjing, Emei Hotel. "Master Zhang, Mrs. Master, why are you looking for Yang Xiao?" Yang Xiao asked, bowing his head. "Yang Zuoshi, I'm looking for you today because of Furong's son Wenrun. Yin Furong met Qingming and Luliu before, and asked them to find ways to take Wenrun out of the palace and stay away from the disputes between the court and the opposition. It's just that Wenrun is the flesh and blood of Mr. Wen. He has too many scruples about going out of the palace. Wen Run is the great-grandson of Zuo Envoy Yang, if Zuo Envoy Yang takes him away, it will be logical." Zhang Wuji said to Yang Xiao.Yang Xiao smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Yang Xiao understands the good intentions of Zhang Hierarch. I will enter the palace tomorrow to visit them without regret. After that, I will go to the Western Regions and never return to the Middle Earth. Yang has passed the age of seventy. Farewell, I don't know if we can meet again. Buhui couple and Tiancheng's grandson, there will be Lao Zhang and the leader's wife." With reasonable hands, he bowed and prostrated.Zhang Wuji got up quickly and helped Yang Xiao up, the two looked at each other for a long time without a word.Looking at Yang Xiao, who is over seventy years old, with gray temples, he remembered that when he was a child more than 30 years ago, he brought Yang Buhui to Siwangfeng and met Yang Xiao for the first time, as if it just happened yesterday.

Imperial City, Kunning Palace.

"Furong," Mr. Wen said while slumped on the dragon chair, his eyes confused: "I heard from Jin Yiwei that the prince Wen Run is gone?" He took Wen Run to see his grandfather. Seeing that Wen Run was young, Grandpa couldn't bear Wen Run's death in the flames of war, so he took advantage of his family's unpreparedness and took Wen Run out of the palace with a brocade box interlayer. After discovering that Wen Run was missing, Furong knew The crime is serious, and I just want to die." Fu Rong said in tears. "Forget it, forget it, the Yan army is about to besiege the city, and now almost all the princes and grandchildren in the city can escape. If the Yan army breaks the city, the king of Yan will not let Wen Run go, and his life must be in danger. Before, I was still thinking, how You can keep the prince safe, and your grandfather robbed Wen Run, which is exactly what I want, and it can be regarded as leaving a royal blood for my Zhu family. The robbery is good, the robbery is good." Mr. Wen shook the folding fan in his hand, and unexpectedly Laugh out loud. "Your Majesty, grandpa is over seventy-seven years old. The Western Regions are a place of bitter cold. Wen Run is less than one year old. Even if he is taken out of the palace, he does not know how he will live or die in the future." Fu Rong said weakly.Mr. Wen stood up from the dragon chair, stepped forward to help Fu Rong, and said, "Instead of waiting to die in the palace, it is better to forget about each other. Fu Rong, you should also find a way to escape from the palace, and don't accompany me to die here." Now." "The emperor is here, and Furong is here. The emperor is gone, and Furong will never live alone." Furong said firmly. "Why bother, if you can escape from the palace, you can still go to the Western Regions to look for your grandfather. Wen Run is so young, you can't live without a mother. Have you been to Chang Ning these two days? These days, I think of a lot of things from the past , Miss her a little bit, come with me to have a look."

Imperial city, deep palace, small courtyard.As long as it doesn't rain, Chang Ning goes to the small yard to bask in the sun every day.The small yard is very small, only a stone table, a few stone benches, and four walls can be accommodated. Chang Ning enjoys the only hour of sunshine here.Young Master Wen and Fu Rong walked directly into the courtyard without the guards notifying them.Seeing Mr. Wen and Furong coming, Chang Ning was a little surprised, got up and said, "Chang Ning didn't know that the emperor and his sister-in-law had arrived, so he was far away to welcome them. Chang Ning is handcuffed and fettered, so it is inconvenient to salute. I hope the emperor and his sister-in-law will not take offense." "Chang Ning Little sister, why do you and I need to be so polite? Thinking back to those years, when you were more than ten years old, you traveled with me all over the world, and the emotions are beyond the reach of others." Mr. Wen said to Chang Ning. "Then Chang Ning will not be polite. Brother and sister-in-law, please sit down." Seeing that Mr. Wen and Chang Ning both sat down, Chang Ning said, "Thank you brother for taking care of you these past two months. Although Chang Ning is a prisoner, he has not been punished." The suffering of the prison, the three meals a day, are delicious, Chang Ning thank you here." "Chang Ning, your words are embarrassing to the emperor, and I have no intention of imprisoning you for more than two months. It's just that the two armies are fighting. If you are released, the morale of the army will be in chaos. There is no choice but to place you in the palace. Once the siege of Nanjing is lifted, the emperor will let you out of the palace." "Emperor brother, what are your chances of winning the battle of Nanjing?" Chang Ning stared at Mr. Wen and asked.Mr. Wen thought for a moment, and said: "It is better for jade to be broken than to be whole. As the king of a country, you must do it with all your strength." Stop fighting and negotiate peace with my father and king." "It's too late, King Yan has already approached the city, and he refuses to negotiate peace with me." Mr. Wen murmured.
