Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 598 Trapped

That night.

When the moonlight rises and everything is quiet, the imperial city shrouded in the night is like a dormant monster, sleeping peacefully in the dark night.

But in the dead of night, there were three figures moving fast on the long street.

Gu Yanxi was protected in the middle, and soon came to the side door in the southwest corner of the palace. I saw that this small side door seemed to be forgotten because of its age, and the red paint on the door was already warped. Even at the top of the head, there are a few places with spider webs.

If it wasn't for the hidden guards who brought him in person, it would be hard for Gu Yanxi to believe that the gate in front of him would be connected to the palace full of flowers.

After the three of Gu Yanxi and the others arrived, the side door that was originally closed was opened from the inside, and then a rough-looking palace man poked his head out from the inside with his back bent. After seeing the three of Gu Yanxi, the palace man Only then did the face full of wrinkles and gullies show a sense of awe, and he greeted in a hoarse voice: "Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time, come in quickly."

Gu Yanxi looked at the face of the old palace man covered with vicissitudes of life, and stood there in a daze, but did not move at all, until the hidden guard who was protecting her side gently touched her elbow in private, and then Let her recover from the daze, and said in a slightly flustered tone: "Thank you!"

As if he didn't see the surprise on Gu Yanxi's face, the old palace man turned sideways and welcomed the three of them in, then pointed to the dark night ahead, and said, "Follow this direction and you will reach the bright Since the nobles are here to visit people in the palace, they should be very familiar with the current situation in the palace; the old slave has inconvenient legs and feet, and his ability is limited, so he can only help the nobles to come here."

After finishing speaking, the old palace man saluted Gu Yanxi and the other three, then staggered away.

That thin and hunched figure was soon swallowed by the night, if it wasn't for the gusts of night wind blowing in the night, which disturbed the broken hair on the ears and temples, Gu Yanxi might not have believed what he had just seen with his eyes.

The old man in the palace was full of old looks, and he looked like he was older than his grandfather. How did Feng Yichen know such a person?Moreover, he also stabbed this person firmly in the deep palace, for him to dispatch at critical moments?
The hidden guards led Gu Yanxi forward in the direction pointed by the old palace man, seeming to see Gu Yanxi's curiosity and disbelief, and one of the hidden guards took the initiative to explain Gu Yanxi's confusion: "Prince Zhaowen was a very kind man before his death. A considerate master, not only among the people, but also deeply loved by everyone in the imperial palace. This old palace man used to serve as a servant in the East Palace. Because he never forgot the old master, he turned to serve under the command of the young master. It's just that the life in the deep palace has tortured a good-looking person for many years. It's really embarrassing. Third girl, if the son succeeds in the future, it will be the fate of heaven. In addition, what is more important is that there are such people who have dedicated their lives without reservation to silently support him by his side and accompany him on this most difficult and dangerous road."

Gu Yanxi was very touched and said: "Feng Yichen once said to me that if you want to succeed, you must have the right time, place and people. I thought he had the right time and place, but after tonight, I finally know, It turned out that without my knowledge, he still took over all the people. That old palace man is a loyal and loyal servant, and he is even more admirable and stalwart."

After hearing Gu Yanxi's words, the two hidden guards did not respond in any way. Instead, after looking at each other, they both saw a faint smile in each other's eyes.

At this moment, they also understood why the master treats the third girl in Gu's mansion differently, not only because she is beautiful and smart, but also because she is a rare person in this world who understands the master; Accompanied by such people, they are happy for their master from the bottom of their hearts.

After putting away Feiyuan's thoughts, the dark guard said: "Miss San, when we arrive, please follow us closely at all times, and don't be disturbed by anything that happens on the road. Always protect you, Miss San, as for the Jinwu Guard, we have already arranged people, and our people must be waiting for us outside the Jinwu Guard's cell at this time."

As soon as she heard that even the Jinwu Guard under the control of her elder brother had Feng Yichen, Gu Yanxi couldn't help but smacked her tongue in her heart. She really deserved to be the one who had the last laugh when she killed Emperor Wu of Liang in her previous life. Every time she came into contact with Feng Yichen When the power left behind, she would be shocked by his strength; every time at this time, she would think, this man is really an amazing existence, and he has expanded his influence and strength to such a great extent in these few years alone. It is no wonder that when he started the incident, the country of Daliang fell into his hands very quickly.

Gu Yanxi knew very well that after entering the palace, he had to be careful in everything, so after hearing the secret guard's explanation, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

And the three of them, cleverly dodging and moving fast all the way, soon came to the vicinity of Jin Wuwei's cell.

Looking at the Jinwu Guard prison, which was illuminated by the fire almost as bright as day, Gu Yanxi hid in a cramped and narrow corner with two hidden guards, and stretched out their heads to look towards the door of the cell.

It can be seen with the naked eye that although the prison of the Jinwu Guards is not as well-known as the Heavenly Prison, no one should underestimate whether it is the manpower guarding or the appearance of the facilities; especially when seeing teams of Jinwu Guards patrolling with long guns, With a sword hanging on her waist, everyone walked solemnly and solemnly in front of the prison door. Gu Yanxi began to doubt whether she was a bit too naive in her idea of ​​meeting Tang Feng here; no wonder the secret guards prevented her from entering the palace and told her The situation in the palace is not as simple as imagined.

Now, after experiencing it herself, she realized that the words of dissuasion she heard were not fake at all.

Gu Yanxi rubbed his ears depressedly, rather scratching his head, "Isn't it just a prison cell in the palace, is it necessary to guard it so strictly? Compared with this, I think the sky prison is easier to enter; we What should we do now? We can’t just watch eagerly like this, can we? We don’t have much time, so we can’t waste our precious time here.”

Looking at the impetuous Gu Yanxi, the dark guard comforted her: "Third girl, don't worry, since I brought the girl into the palace, I will definitely let the girl fulfill her wish. Let's wait a little longer, and the person who will connect with us will be very soon." will appear."

Gu Yanxi thought about it, but right now she can only place her hope on that mysterious connector.
