Jiaochu

Chapter 521 Fire
Two days later, Emperor Qi held a banquet for Yan Lianjue alone.

Ye Xingye and the seven princes looked at it and understood in their hearts that the prince consort was decided. Needless to say, Ye Xingye was happy. Although the seven princes were not sad, they were not happy either.

Ye Xingye happily asked people to pack their bags and prepare to go back.

As a result, something happened that night.

The palace guards surrounded the residence of Ye Xingye and the seven people, and they were not allowed to let out even an ant, let alone a human being.

Ye Xingye didn't know why, and even if he asked the guards, they all had evil looks on their faces, as if they wanted to eat people. With Yanfei's current skills, it was not difficult to sneak out quietly. He went out first to inquire about the news, and when he came back, he told Ye Xingye that someone had poisoned the dinner, and both Emperor Qi and Yan Lianjue were poisoned.

Ye Xingye's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he walked around with his hands behind his back, almost frowning in worry.

She also imitated him and walked around with her hands behind her back. He walked to the door and looked outside. She also followed him and looked outside. Suddenly she heard someone shouting that he was missing.

The fire spread quickly, and soon the flames could be seen. Seeing that the direction of the fire was towards Xuande Hall, the guards rushed to put out the fire regardless of where they were. Ye Xingye also wanted to see what was going on but was stopped by Yan Fei. He went to find out the news first. If anything happened, let Ye Xingye and Ye Lingxi will go first, and Long Shadow Guard will escort them to a safe place.

About a quarter of an hour after Yan Fei left, a group of guards rushed over and surrounded the courtyard with open fire. The leading guard did not explain anything and just asked people to take him down. The guards rushed into the courtyard and started fighting with the Long Shadow Guards. Ye Xingye took Ye Lingxi and left first under the cover of two Long Shadow Guards. When the guard commander noticed that the person was trying to escape, he ordered people to shoot arrows, regardless of whether the person was dead or alive.

At the critical moment, Yan Fei arrived and captured the guard leader first, so that the guards did not dare to act rashly. The Long Shadow Guards had prepared the carriage. After both of them got on the carriage, the group left quickly. On the road, only torches were seen flashing, and a group of people left. Silhouettes of the team were running around, and there was a faint sound of killing in the distance, as if the palace had changed.

When he was approaching the palace gate, Yanfei knocked out the guard commander and threw him down. He took the token and prepared to leave the palace. However, he saw that the palace door was wide open, unattended, and there was blood on the ground. After leaving the palace, Yan Fei asked a Long Shadow Guard to go to the city gate to inquire. If the city gate was also open, he would leave the city immediately. Ye Xingye was very worried when he thought of Meng Jingxiu and wanted to go to the inn first. Yan Fei asked two Long Shadow Guards to pick him up at the inn.

The Long Shadow Guard found a small courtyard in the city in advance, which could be used as a temporary hiding place in case of emergency. Yanfei drove a carriage there first. Not long after arriving, the Long Shadow Guard who went to the city gate to inquire came back. Yes, it was reported that the city gate was closed.

When I came here just now, there was nothing unusual on the street. Every household had their doors closed and everyone was sleeping.

Ye Xingye walked around, staring at the door anxiously. Finally, he heard someone knocking on the door. Correcting the code, Long Yingwei opened the door. Besides Meng Jingxiu, there was another person. Ye Xingye only saw her and didn't care to look at anyone else. He quickly came over and took her into the house. After entering the house, he was illuminated by the light in the house and realized that there was another person. When he saw that it was a young man, he felt a little disgusted. Waiting Recognizing it was Mu Qi, he threw it away.

Meng Jingxiu was somewhat surprised to see Ye Lingxi. She was even more surprised to see another rouge mark on her forehead. She also felt even more surprised to see that she didn't seem to recognize her. The reason for this must not be just a few words. She could speak clearly and first clarify the matter in front of her. She asked Ye Xingye what happened and why he sent someone to pick her up in the middle of the night. Ye Xingye habitually glanced at Yan Fei to ask for his opinion. Yan Fei took Ye Lingxi walked away, leaving the two of them to talk alone, while Mu Qi went outside.

Ye Xingye told the story about Emperor Qi's poisoning and the guards taking people. Meng Jingxiu was very surprised and said, "Could it be that they thought you were responsible for the poison?" Ye Xingye shook his head hurriedly, "It wasn't me," Meng Jingxiu said, "I I know it's not you." Yan Fei explained the situation of the fire again.

There was a fire in the Xuande Palace. Emperor Qi and Yan Lianjue were both placed here for diagnosis and treatment by the imperial physician. When he went over to check the situation, Emperor Qi and Yan Lianjue were rescued by the guard named Lei Qi. He was about to leave. At this time, he was noticed by the other party, and he hurried back after a delay. On the way, he saw groups of people wearing armor, who were not palace guards. I was afraid that some people couldn't restrain themselves and wanted to take the opportunity to seize the throne.

After hearing what he said, the two of them became more and more shocked. Yan Fei's expression suddenly changed and he walked out. They thought something had happened again and hurriedly followed him and asked him what was wrong. Yan Fei did not answer, but first glanced around the yard. Immediately he used Qinggong to fly up to the roof. The two Long Shadow Guards guarding the roof saw him coming up and were about to salute. He asked them if they saw anyone going out, and they shook their heads.

He used Qinggong to fly down and told him to leave the city as soon as the city gate opened without waiting for him. After that, he used Qinggong to fly away. Ye Xingye was confused when Meng Jingxiu suddenly screamed and startled him. He quickly asked what was wrong. She looked into the room and said, "Sister Lingxi is missing!" Ye Xingye was also startled when he looked inside the room. , I have no idea when the person disappeared.

Meng Jingxiu saw Mu Qi in the yard and asked him if he saw anyone going out. Mu Qi shook his head. Ye Xingye was even more surprised. He went to search around the house again, fearing that people were hiding, and searched everywhere he could. The person was indeed missing.

When daybreak came, the person still hadn't come back.

The Long Shadow Guards escorted the two people out of the city according to Yanfei's instructions. Just in case, Ye Xingye disguised himself. Meng Jingxiu was a woman disguised as a man and there was no need to disguise herself. The Long Shadow Guards also disguised themselves and went out in two groups. city.

Although there were officers and soldiers checking at the city gate, no clues were found. The two groups of people left the city smoothly. The Long Shadow Guards sent the two people away first, while the other two Long Shadow Guards stayed behind to support Yanfei.

……

A hint of Mengtan's fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose. She blinked her eyelashes slightly and slowly woke up. She opened her eyes and saw a snow-white bed curtain. She looked to the side and saw a pair of snow-white clothes sitting on a stool. When she woke up, His closed eyes also opened.

He poured a cup of tea, stood up and came over. She shrank to the corner of the bed alertly and did not accept the tea he handed over. He put the tea back on the table. She jumped out of bed and ran out while he turned around. He didn't stop her. She opened the door and ran out. He sat on a stool and drank tea, not in a hurry.

About an hour later, she came back again, hiding outside the door and peering in quietly with only one pair of eyes exposed.

"Lost?" he said.

She doesn't speak.

"When you remember everything, you'll know how to get out." He said.

She still didn't speak.

After a stalemate like this all morning, she got hungry, so she sneaked out again. When she saw a fruit tree in the garden, she picked a few fruits to cushion her stomach. As she was eating the fruits, she saw another person walking over. She remembered that face. I met him before in Die Yuan. He said his surname was Yan, and Yan Fei called him husband. He looked quite amiable.

She dared to call Mr. Yan, and Yan Miao came to greet her. He was not surprised to see her. She also saw that she had some fruits in her clothes and said that lunch would be delivered later. She asked him what After going out, Yan Miao said, "It's a little messy outside. Let's stay here for a few days. Once the chaos stops, it won't be too late for me to leave." She shook her head and said, "No, I can't stay for a few more days. I'll do it now." Let's go." Yan Miao said, "To be honest, everyone in the palace is looking for the Third Highness that the girl is following. If the girl is caught by someone now, she will probably use the girl to force the His Highness to show up. You might as well stay here for now and wait until the storm has passed before going out.”

She thought for a moment and nodded.

Yan Miao took her back, and she sat in the yard eating fruit, regardless of what the two of them were chirping in the room. After a while, Shiyi and Yaoyao came over with lunch. The two brothers and sisters looked about the same. Wearing white, if it weren't for the latter wearing a bun and a skirt, at first glance, I would have thought that I was dazzled, and one person turned into two people.

Seeing the two people walking into the house with the food, she stopped them and said they would eat in the yard. The two placed the food on the stone table in the yard and then left.
