A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 696 What is this doing?

The servant ran to the central garden out of breath, found the butler, and panted anxiously: "There are officials from outside, outside!"

The housekeeper's heart sank, and he hurried to the front yard to have a look.

Seeing the person's clothes, the housekeeper immediately recognized the person from Dali Temple.It was not the officials of Dali Temple who led them here, but the eunuchs in the palace.

The officials entered the gate of the palace and lined up on both sides.

The eunuch stood in the middle with his whisk in hand, as if he was a little impatient waiting.

The butler stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Eunuch, this is..."

The eunuch waved his fly whisk, looked at him from the corner of his eyes, and said with a squeeze of his voice: "Our family is here to pick up the two children of Princess Yin Wu by order of the Empress Dowager, and go to Dali Temple."

The housekeeper said: "The child is still young and has never been out of the house. How dare you ask the Queen Mother to take the child to Dali Temple?"

The eunuch said: "Blood test to see if it is the blood of King Wu of Yin."

After all, the eunuch didn't give the housekeeper any room to maneuver, so he waved his hand and let the servants go directly into the inner courtyard of the palace to look for the two children.

Seeing this, the servants of the palace rushed to stop him.

The eunuch shouted sharply: "Bold! The Empress Dowager dares to disobey the edict. Is the Yin Wu Palace trying to rebel?!"

The situation this time is different from the last time the Ministry of Criminal Justice broke into the palace to take people.

Last time, the people from the Ministry of Punishment were beheaded first and then played. If it was still the case this time, the housekeeper would have followed Meng Yan's order to let the guards beat him to the ground. But this time, the Empress Dowager is here to move forward, so they can't fight recklessly, otherwise it would be treason.

The eunuch shouted loudly, and everyone in the palace froze.

The butler didn't stop him.

Then the eunuch took a few yamen servants, walked through the front hall, and went straight to the backyard. On the way, he also arrested a servant of the palace to lead the way.

***
As the sun rose, the sun became hotter and hotter, covering the entire capital city, baking the air slightly distorted.

There are still pedestrians on the streets, and because of the weather, it is even more noisy.

The city gates of the capital are open for the people to enter and leave the city, and soldiers guard every gate.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of hooves rolling outside the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city gate couldn't help but follow the sound, but couldn't see the figure clearly for a while.

In the distance under the scorching sun, galloping horses were seen, and the people on the horses were shrouded in a gust of wind, sand and smoke that came from afar day and night.

The dust and smoke were turned white by the sunlight, and quickly flew back and dissipated.

As the distance got closer, the sound of the horse's hooves became louder and louder. The soldiers could vaguely see the flying horse's hooves wildly, the mane fluttering like waves in the wind, and the muscles of the forechest loosened violently with the running movement, reflecting the oily light.

When they got close enough, they could finally clearly see that the galloping horses were a group of people in black suits.

Seeing that they were approaching the city gate, they showed no tendency to slow down.

The soldiers at the city gate couldn't help being fully on guard, some clenched their spears tightly while others drew their sabers around their waists, ready to stop them at all times.

Some soldiers shouted: "Those who enter the city are not allowed to gallop on horses! Whoever is coming, please rein in your horse and stop!"

But the opponent still didn't stop.

It wasn't until they ran under the city gate in one breath, and the soldiers' swords and guns were a foot ahead, that the people who ran at the front suddenly raised their arms and took back the reins.

The hooves of the horses were raised, and the heat from the horses sprayed the soldiers all over their faces.

Yin Heng sat on the horse with a sad expression and stared at the soldiers blocking his way, then raised his eyes to look at the streets in the city.

Seeing someone riding a fast horse at the gate of the city, the people on the street were afraid of being accidentally injured, so they quickly retreated to the side of the street to observe the situation.

Yin Heng raised his hand and threw something to the soldier.

The soldier caught it behind him, held it up for a look, and quickly knelt down.

Yin Heng said in a low and flat voice, "Get out of the way."

The soldiers quickly moved to the sides again, out of the way.

Yin Heng rode his horse and rushed up the straight road behind the city gate, and said a word: "Send the Seventh Prince back to his residence."

Chongxian followed closely behind, and when he passed by the soldier, he bent down and took the token from the soldier's hand.

Yin Rong tried his best to follow behind on horseback, and when he entered the city gate, Yin Heng had already left.

Yin Rong's face was ashen-colored from exhaustion, and he was eating and sleeping all the way, traveling day and night, so he didn't look gentle and refined at the moment.

The city gate immediately dispatched soldiers to escort him, Chongxian also left Chongli and Chongxiao behind, and was responsible for safely delivering Yin Rong to the Prince's Mansion.

Yin Heng's fast horse ran all the way across the long street, passed through the empty alleys, and when it reached the Qingshi Road in front of the Wangfu Gate, the horse's hooves finally slowed down and rattled.

A group of attendants followed behind.

Yin Heng was standing in front of the house, and saw that the gate of the palace was open, the front yard could be seen faintly, and there seemed to be people on office errands standing there.

The servant heard the sound of horseshoes and ran out to have a look. He almost wept with joy, and shouted, "My lord is back! My lord is back!"

Yin Heng dismounted from his horse, strode up the steps and entered the house.

All the officials of the Dali Temple turned their heads to see him, all of them looked terrified, and hurriedly clasped their fists in salute.

Yin Heng stood in the door frame, glanced lightly at these people in the front yard, there was a sense of overwhelming coercion in his calm eyes, and said: "What are you doing?"

The yamen servants were tense, not daring to raise their heads, let alone answer.His back was drenched with sweat.

What would happen if they said they were here to take King Yin Wu's child?
Can't even think about it.

But if they don't say it, everyone in the palace is not dumb.

The mother said with tears in her eyes: "The prince is back, the concubine has been detained in Dali Temple, and now they are going to arrest the prince and the young lady, saying that they have obeyed the Queen Mother's order..."

Yin Heng walked past the Yacha, dressed in a black robe, it was obviously a scorching summer day, but the places he passed were threateningly cold.

He said: "When will the Queen Mother be able to command the dogs of Dali Temple?"

Here, the housekeeper was worried, seeing that the eunuch entered the backyard of the palace as if entering his own backyard, so he followed.

After entering the inner courtyard, the eunuch pushed open the door, and saw that the room was decorated like a child's place, with two small beds in the room, and the mother was cleaning the room.

When Mammy saw someone barging in suddenly, before she could stop her, she was pushed aside by the eunuch's orders.

The eunuch raised his feet and walked towards the two small beds, but when he stood by the small bed and took a closer look, his expression was uncertain, and he immediately reached out to lift the small quilt on the small bed.

However, his hand was about to be only a few feet away from the small quilt, and before he could touch it, there was a sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air very quickly, and Kan Kan slashed close to his ear.

There was a buzzing sound in the eunuch's ear, which made his eardrums tremble.

He didn't realize what happened, he just felt a bone-chilling chill across his arms at the same time.

The eunuch looked up and looked back, only to see Yin Heng standing at the door at some point, looking like a ghost.Those eyes, looking at him indifferently, seemed to have decided his life and death.

Chongxian stood beside Yin Heng, the sword he was wearing with him, only the scabbard was empty.

And the sword was firmly nailed to the wooden screen behind the eunuch, and it swayed from side to side with that domineering force.
