Book with Emperor

Chapter 212
Three hundred miles from Langya, there is a town in Guoyang County, the name of the city is Liu, the beginning of autumn has passed, the weather is cold, but this city with tens of thousands of people is extremely lively, the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants are all showing a strange restlessness .

"Have you heard about the incident in the capital?"

"What's the matter, you're so nagging?"

"Keep your voice down...the capital, someone has rebelled!"

"What?! Who? Who's wrong?"

"I also guessed. My nephew went to the capital to visit relatives a few days ago, but he couldn't even enter the city gate. The entire imperial city was surrounded by the imperial army. The nearby cities have stepped up their guards, and they are checking day and night. The city gates have to check the guides three times."

"Hiss! You're so nervous. The last time this happened was something that happened to Prince Qing a few years ago. Could it be that someone really wants to turn against you?"

"As long as the five countries don't go to war."

"..."

When Cen Wu went down from the second floor of the inn to get the medicine, he heard the people eating in the lobby discussing and guessing about the sudden martial law in the capital, and it was no surprise that some people even thought about whether the five kingdoms were at war.

However, she knew that the truth was far more serious than they thought.

It had been seven days since they escaped from the capital that day, and because of the support along the way, they arrived in Liucheng without any danger, but the news from the eyeliner who stayed in the capital shocked her.

On the night of the chaos in the south of the city, after they left, Shuang Hanzhou retreated from the enemy alone, and brought the seriously injured Qin Guanyue back to the Emperor's Mansion. It also surrounded the Emperor's Mansion for seven days.

During this period, no one entered or left the Emperor's Mansion, and what was even more strange was that there was no news from the Imperial Palace. Ning Zhao did not respond to this, and Daxi stopped court for seven days.

General Lingyun Lou Binghe wrote a letter to participate in the crime of treason by the emperor's teacher, but no one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty agreed, and no one convicted him.

The ancestors have edicts, the emperor's teacher is respected, under one person, above ten thousand people, once the dynasty breaks the law, only the emperor will punish.

Even if Qin Guanyue plotted rebellion in public, as long as the emperor does not speak, no one can convict him.

Cen Wu doesn't know Ning Zhao as well as King Qing, but he also knows that Ning Zhao will never tolerate betrayal, and it is repeated betrayal. However, Qin Guanyue has not been convicted for seven days, so it must be impossible.

She didn't know what Qin Guanyue did to delay her conviction, but she also knew that Lou Binghe would not let the entire Emperor's Mansion go, and the arrow that Qin Guanyue hit that night was enough to kill her.

She took the medicine and went back to the second floor. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Xiao Sheng standing by the window, and a white pigeon passed by in the sky outside.

Cen Wu was not worried that he would suddenly betray and leak their whereabouts, otherwise he would not have desperately helped them out of the city that night.

Glittering golden weapons, military ban...

Anyone can see that Qin Guanyue has been planning for a long time to send his young master and princess out of the capital.

Thinking of Qin Guanyue again, she felt even more complicated.

It has been three years since Prince Qing's mansion was destroyed, and no matter how deep the hatred or pain was, the most unbearable moment passed in their hearts.Before they had time to hate Qin Guanyue, they witnessed the scene of her desperately saving them, which made it difficult for the people in Yongzhou to say hate for a while.

In addition, she happened to be the young lady whom her young master had identified...

She sighed, not knowing exactly what Xiao Sheng was planning, and she had no time to care about it.

"Young master, the medicine is ready."

Before she had time to knock on the door, Lei Yu opened the door from the inside and silenced her, "The princess is asleep."

Cen Wu nodded, put the medicine on the table, and looked up to see Yue Wentian who was fainting by the bed and guarding the princess.

"Young Master, the capital is still under martial law, Ning Zhao hasn't moved yet, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice hasn't issued a sea arrest document. These days, the concubine's body can't bear it anymore after traveling day and night, so how many days do you want to rest in Liucheng?"

"Well, rest for three days before starting."

Yue Wentian quietly looked at the sleeping Princess Qing, and stroked the hair on her sideburns for her.

"That……"

Cen Wu hesitated, "Where is Xiao Sheng?"

Yue Wentian paused for a moment, then withdrew his hand lightly, and tucked the quilt for Princess Qing, "Let him go."

Cen Wu said sarcastically, "Why, do you think she did the right thing?"

"It's right for her to live, and I don't care about the others."

"Then why did you leave her behind?"

"That was her choice."

Cen Wu watched him walk out of the inn, and said slowly, "Qin Guanyue can't hold it anymore."

Lei Yu was startled, "How to say?"

"After leaving the capital, he guarded the young lord and the princess every step of the way. I saw him release a carrier pigeon just now, and now he left in a hurry. It must be that the capital couldn't hold on anymore."

Lei Yu hesitated to speak, but suddenly the waiter downstairs came forward and delivered a letter, which was sealed with sealing wax and painted with plum blossoms.

"Guest officer, someone outside asked me to deliver this letter to the two of you."

Lei Yu's expression froze, and he immediately jumped down the stairs and landed at the door of the inn. After some investigation, he shook his head at Cen Wu, indicating that he had left.

Cen Wu unfolded the letter and took a look at it, then his expression changed, and then he immediately turned and entered the room.

"Little Lord."

Yue Wentian took the letter, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his lowered left hand was slowly clenched.

[Shuanghanzhou leaves the capital, Zhao wakes up after being assassinated, Qin Guanyue is plotted against, and will be executed three days later. ]
Cen Wu's eyes were cold, "It seems that there is a third person trying to take advantage of this war between Yongzhou and the royal family."

Three days ago, Kyoto, Langya Imperial City.

After the rain seven days ago, the entire capital city seemed to have entered autumn overnight, and the bustling and noisy imperial city suddenly fell silent.In addition to the unloading workers, Dongshi Xifang lost a lot of businessman Fuji, and even the busiest south of the city was deserted for the most part.

There were only several times more patrolling soldiers than before, and the Emperor's Mansion surrounded like an iron barrel.

On the second floor of Dongying Building, Han Zhengwei stood leaning on a railing, looking at the bleak imperial city, with only a few scattered rich and noble sons behind him, secretly discussing what happened in the capital.

In fact, not only people outside the capital didn't know what happened, but also people inside the city didn't know, and they didn't dare to discuss it, and no one even dared to go out easily.

People only know that overnight, the world was turned upside down, His Majesty was assassinated, the emperor conspired against him, shot Yu Shizi to death, the palace was surrounded by forbidden troops, and no one could enter the palace in a hurry, including the leader's decree. Lou Binghe in the Imperial Master's Mansion.

And the group of folk workers who participated in the imperial banquet were also retained, including Feng Jinci who was disguised as a woman.

The whole court was silent like cicadas, everyone knew that something big had happened, but no one dared to act rashly, even if General Ling Yun made a memorial to sue the emperor for treason, no one dared to judge.

Only Han Zhengwei knew what happened that night at the imperial banquet. He watched Yue Wentian take people away with his own eyes, and also watched Shuanghanzhou take away the dying Qin Guanyue, and then the sword god in white and Ling Yunqi stayed on for seven days.

During these seven days, Shuang Hanzhou stood in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion with his sword in his arms, without eating, drinking, sleeping, or resting. can come out.

Han Zhengwei's heart was cold. He knew that Qin Guanyue had suffered multiple injuries. The arrow almost pierced her heart. If she couldn't seek medical treatment in time, she would basically die.

He tried to send someone to sneak in to deliver the medicine, but he couldn't find a chance at all. Lou Binghe even sent someone to guard the dog hole of the Emperor's Mansion, so he couldn't go in at all, and was even warned by his own father.

He gripped the railing tightly, feeling more and more anxious until someone hurried upstairs.

"Second Young Master!"

The servant was sweating profusely, and nervously leaned over, "Go...go! People... people are gone!"

Han Zhengwei was overjoyed, "Who left? Lou Binghe took someone away?"

The servant wiped his sweat and panted, "No, it's that sword god! That white-clothed sword god just left the Emperor's Mansion suddenly and flew away!"

Han Zhengwei's mind went blank, "...where did he go?"

"Leaving the city! Master Lou Ling Yunqi has already rushed into the Emperor's Mansion—hey! Second Young Master! Where are you going! The master told you not to let you go!"

Han Zhengwei left him behind, ran downstairs like crazy, and rushed out of the Dongying Tower, only to find that the quiet imperial city suddenly became agitated.

Those closed doors were opened, and there were suddenly many people on both sides of the street, and they all went to one place—the north of the city.

Han Zhengwei realized something, his face turned pale, and he immediately pushed through the crowd and rushed to the north of the city.

The crowd grew, and Han Zhengwei became more and more anxious. Just as he was about to get angry, the crowd suddenly fell silent.

After the deathly silence, there was a sound of orderly and crisp armored boots on the long street. As the crowd consciously parted the empty street, he saw the thin figure surrounded by Ling Yunqi.

Qin Guanyue, who was dressed in white, took off the lofty emperor's uniform, and only wore a simple plain robe, her long hair was loose, and a white silk covered her pale and thin face, covering her eyes. You can see her tight thin lips and soft chin.

But on the seventh day, she was so thin that Han Zhengwei almost didn't recognize her. If she wasn't walking slowly, almost no living people would be angry.

She just held the hand of the maid beside her with no expression on her face, and under the escort of Ling Yunqi, she walked slowly across Chengbei Avenue, and walked towards the palace under everyone's eyes.

Han Zhengwei stood on the side of the road, staring blankly at the heart of her chest, which was obviously much thicker, and blood seeping out could be faintly seen.
