Chapter 877
"Master Zhang, what if I say that I have a reason to meet His Majesty?"

When Bai Jinli said this, she took out a very tightly wrapped thing from her arms and slowly opened it.

As soon as the thing appeared in front of Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang showed a look of horror and disbelief, his body trembled slightly, and he almost knelt down.

"This... how could this thing be in your hands?"

"It's just that His Majesty entrusted me to keep it for a while. Depending on the situation, today is the day to return the property to its original owner."

Hearing what Bai Jinli said, Mrs. Zhang instantly understood a lot of things, and he let out a breath of relief almost inaudibly.

But soon, his heart raised high again.

His Majesty's ability to hand over such an important thing to Lord Qingping shows that he already knew something and was already prepared.

Therefore, although the current situation in the palace is special, he believes that His Majesty has a solid foundation in his heart, and it is very likely that he has already prepared in advance.

But even so, he was still worried.

Because it is very likely that the tortoise shell was involved in this matter.

Can His Majesty's safety be guaranteed?
Moreover, why did His Majesty give such an important thing to Lord Qingping for temporary storage?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if someone close to His Majesty told him about it, he might not believe it.

Wait, is this His Majesty's real intention?
"Mr. Qingping, what are your plans?"

"Wait. Is Boss Zhang hungry? Eat something to fill your stomach."

Bai Jinli opened her snack bag, and handed a piece of pastry to Mrs. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang didn't hesitate, took it and thanked him, and started to eat, nodding while eating.

"I never thought that pastries that looked sweet and greasy in the past tasted so special."

"Master Zhang, try this again." Bai Jinli handed over another wrapped strip of beef.

"This beef strip is chewy and soft. It's really good. It would be great if the soldiers on the front line could eat this." Mrs. Zhang sighed and then continued.

"However, speaking of it, the soldiers on the front line are lucky now. I heard that you sent a lot of dried meat to the front line, as well as delicious food for them to make."

"Mr. Qingping Township, you are truly a righteous person."

Bai Jinli blushed a little when she heard Mrs. Zhang's praise. She was actually just worried about her husband.

As for the other soldiers, there are concerns.

After all, the front line is the protection line of Da Qi. Only by appeasing the soldiers on the front line so that they have no worries, can Da Qi not be invaded by villains, and they can continue to live and work in peace in Da Qi.

"Mr. Qingping Township, be careful, someone seems to be coming." Mrs. Zhang said this with a defensive face, and stood in front of Bai Jinli very righteously.

"It's mine." Bai Jinli looked at the sixty-year-old man standing in front of her and was slightly moved, and quickly explained.

As soon as the words fell, Xiang Ming's figure appeared in front of them.

"Are you in danger?" Bai Jinli asked.

"Thank you for your concern, master, no."

"Well, what's the current situation in the palace?"

"It looks normal from the outside. There are guards with knives in every hall of the harem, but the Queen's Kunning Palace seems to be looser than other palaces."

"The Royal Study Room is heavily guarded by Qianqing Palace. I don't know the specific situation inside."

"The imperial hospital is also temporarily closed, and all the imperial doctors are unable to enter or leave."

"The palace people walking outside are all low-level palace people. They don't know what happened at all, and they are busy step by step."

"All palace gates are strictly forbidden to enter and exit. The people guarding the palace gates have changed, not the previous ones."

"Oh? This is a bit intriguing." Bai Jinli rubbed her stomach lightly and muttered.

According to her previous written and filmed understanding of the imperial palace's seizure of the heir apparent, whenever she reached this step, there was turmoil and blood flowed like rivers.

But why does the current situation seem so weird?
"Second fire and third fire, do they have any news?" Bai Jinli continued to ask.

"The latest news I just received. The second fire has not responded yet. The third fire has fulfilled its mission and captured and killed the man in black. Now it is lurking in the prince's mansion, looking for the old lady."

"Ah."

"Master, the fire is back."

"In addition to the big fire, there are other people coming." While speaking, Xiang Tea heard a secret signal between them and a strange footstep.

"It's mine." Master Zhang said.

As soon as they finished talking, two figures came in one after the other.

One is the big fire, and the other is the people around Mr. Zhang before.

"How?" Elder Zhang looked at the person kneeling in front of him and asked him to stand up.

"Your Majesty was trapped in Qianqing Palace by the prince, and the third and fourth princes were also there, but they were tied aside. Now your majesty, the third and fourth princes' lives are safe for the time being."

"The prince is at Qianqing Palace? When did it happen?" Mrs. Zhang and Bai Jinli were a little confused.

The prince at this moment should be in front of the prince's mansion.

How did he come to the palace without making a fuss?
"I don't know."

"Who is that father-in-law?" Bai Jinli asked.

"That father-in-law may be related to the empress. The subordinates saw that he first went to the empress's Kunning Palace, and then returned to the Qianqing Palace after leaving there."

"Xiangming, let me know when Erhuo has any news."

"Understood, master."

After almost two cups of tea, Er Huo, who had successfully completed the layout outside according to Bai Jinli's instructions, came back.

Mr. Zhang has also used his own people to contact his old department in the palace during this time period.

"Mr. Qingping Township, let's go see His Majesty."

"it is good."

The two of them didn't break out in a fair manner, but planned to set a fire in the palace, and when the fire ignited and attracted all the guards guarding the palace, they quickly walked out through the side door.

Although there was chaos in His Majesty's Qianqing Palace, the entire palace still maintains a superficial peace for the time being.

After Bai Jinli and Mr. Zhang took advantage of the chaos and left the palace, they ran into the old guards that Mr. Zhang had contacted.

Those guards look the same as the patrolling guards with knives in the palace, so they don't attract the attention of others.

Mrs. Zhang, Bai Jinli, and Xiang Ming pretended to be pushed by these guards to go to Qianqing Palace, while Dahuo Erhuo and Mr. Zhang waited for an opportunity to mix with the guards.

A group of them walked on the way to the Qianqing Palace in an upright manner, and encountered other patrolling guards on the way.

Mr. Zhang's people faced the patrolling guards and nodded to them openly, then left coldly.

It was only when they reached the gate of Qianqing Palace that they were stopped.

"Please report, this subordinate has something to report to His Majesty."

"Bold! Who are you? Don't you know that His Majesty is recuperating because of his health?" The guard standing at the gate of Qianqing Palace instantly drew his knife and pointed at them.

"I'm a doctor, please let me know and say that Bai Jinli is asking to see you."

"..." The leading guard glanced at her and didn't speak, but clapped his hands to the side.

In an instant, Bai Jinli and the others were surrounded by a circle of guards holding knives, and a group of people with bows and arrows appeared not far away and aimed at them.

"What do you mean by that?"

The headed guard ignored their questions, turned around and walked into Qianqing Palace.

After a while, he came out with the father-in-law who took Bai Jinli and the others to the side hall.

"Yo, I really didn't expect it. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Qingping Township are really capable of tossing about. Since we are here, His Majesty invites you two to come in."

After actually entering the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Bai Jinli and the others immediately felt the unusual atmosphere.

There were quite a few people in the hall, and His Majesty Qi Heng was lying on the big bed in the inner room of Qianqing Palace with a sickly face, looking weak.

The third prince was wounded, tied up and sitting paralyzed on the ground beside him, with something gagged in his mouth, his face was full of anger and unwillingness.

The fourth prince was also forced to kneel on the ground beside him, and the situation didn't look much better than that of the third prince.

Instead, the prince himself, who should be on the wall facing the prince's mansion, held a bloody long sword in his hand and faced His Majesty lying on the bed, making his expression hard to see.

Beside the prince stood the deposed prince's side concubine Feng Qinghuang, her face was indifferent and indifferent.

In addition, there is a circle of the prince's people around. Those people seem to be low-key and quiet, but in fact, they are all masters with profound skills.

What attracted Bai Jinli the most was not these things, but the black powder piled up around His Majesty's bed by someone.

"His Royal Highness, what do you mean? Could it be that you want to kill the king and seize the throne?" Seeing this scene, Mr. Zhang immediately yelled at the prince.

"Killing the king? No, no, this prince has never thought about it that way."

"The only one is the prince, and he will be the emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom in the future. I see my father working so hard for the great Qi Kingdom with my lonely eyes, and my heart aches unceasingly."

"I have always wanted to solve problems for my father, but my father never had the opportunity to be with Gu."

"Even punishing Gu like this because he believed the rumors released by the third and fourth sect and wanted to spread rumors. It really makes Gu's heart very cold."

"However, Gu didn't blame his father, and he still wanted to treat his father well after succeeding to the throne, and treat his father as the filial and benevolent emperor, and give his father the honor and respect he deserves."

"No wonder, Gu did something wrong?"

"Master Zhang, you are also a senior figure in the Great Qi Kingdom, why don't you come and persuade Father Huang on behalf of Gu?"

Looking at them, the prince's eyes were filled with gloom and paranoia, combined with the noble python robe embroidered with gold thread and the bloody sword in his hand, it gave off a depressing undertone.

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the Daqi Kingdom. Although you are the Crown Prince, you should obey His Majesty's wishes."

"Your Majesty must have his reasons for everything you do. Whether you are a subject or a son, you should obey and respect him."

"But what's going on now? You hurt the third and fourth highnesses in front of your majesty, and you surrounded your majesty's bedroom like this, ignoring your majesty's body. What are you doing here?"
