The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 211 The Finale
In extreme panic and anger, the Queen Mother turned her head and scolded indiscriminately: "Murong Shen! If you hadn't invited the emperor here on your own initiative, how could such a thing have happened today? It's all your fault. You! You still want to leave! You are a wolf!"

"Queen Dowager, I would like to clarify a few points. First, if it wasn't for the empress dowager, you set up a trap to kill Weichen's fiancée, and I would not go to the palace to invite the emperor. Could it be that you did not cause all this? Second , the third prince has long had the heart of rebellion. He has been preparing for more than ten years, and finally chose to launch it today. Then no matter where the emperor is, there will be difficulties today. It's just that the emperor is with you in Lin Xiangfu, after all, it is not as good as coming to the palace. Thirdly, why did the minister leave? It was because the emperor did not trust the minister! If that is the case, what is the use of staying?"

Murong Shen's words made the Queen Mother speechless, her face was extremely ugly.There was also a burst of regret in my heart.

If she had known early in the morning that the execution of Ye Zhaoqing would cause such a catastrophe, she would never have done so!

However, Ye Zhaoqing still has to die, she can choose to borrow a knife to kill...

What the queen mother regretted was that she used the wrong method.

Seeing her expression, Ye Zhaoqing understood what she was thinking. She didn't want to stay here for a moment, so she grabbed Lin Xirong's hand and said, "Xirong! Let's go!"

"Okay!" Lin Xirong nodded without hesitation.

Ye Zhaoqing looked at Li Yu again.

Li Yu stood there with an awkward expression, but refused to leave.

The emperor immediately became angry: "Li Yu! Are you going to see me splatter three feet of blood in front of you before you leave?"

"Father emperor!" Li Yu couldn't help but his liver and gallbladder were torn, and he called out to the emperor in pain.

Ye Zhaoqing frowned, walked over and grabbed his hand: "Time is running out! Are you dawdling because you want everyone to die here?"

Li Yu suddenly choked up and couldn't speak.

Ye Zhaoqing took advantage of the situation and pulled him out!
Along the way, Li Yu turned his head three times a step at a time. Every time he turned his head, Ye Zhaoqing would straighten his face. Soon, the three of them walked out of the hall.

"Emperor! Why didn't you stop them?" The Empress Dowager suddenly became anxious: "Even if Dora is buried with him, that would be good?"

The emperor suddenly turned his head when he heard the words, and shot his eyes like lightning: "Mother, do you also think that the son will definitely lose?"

The eyes were so sharp that the Empress Dowager immediately lowered her head, not daring to meet her: "What is the emperor thinking! Of course, the Empress Dowager believes in you! However, the current situation is at stake, and the soldiers who are making trouble outside will rush to you soon." Come in, you and I are powerless, if Master Murong is here, maybe we can resist one or two, but you let him go!"

"The one who has no power to restrain the chicken is you, the empress, not me." The emperor sneered and said, "Empress, the prince has left now, and I just gave him the amulet while there are many people. I believe that he will lead his troops to rescue us."

"Is this true?" The Empress Dowager heard a hint of joy on her face.

But soon the joy turned into worry: "But, the soldiers from outside will attack soon, can we wait until then?"

"Don't worry! They're not that fast!" The emperor sneered as he said, reached out and took out a firework from his pocket, walked into the courtyard and threw it into the air.

In an instant, thousands of people rushed over from all directions, some fought with the surrounding guards, and some stood guard outside the courtyard.The golden armor on those men gleamed in the sun.

"Golden Armored Soldier?" Seeing this, the Empress Dowager was taken aback immediately: "Aren't they not in the capital?"

"He has come back in secret." The emperor said in a deep voice, "It is impossible not to keep any influence around me!"

After hearing this, the queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, and then completely relaxed.

And somewhere near the outer wall of Lin Xiangfu, Lin Xirong led Ye Zhaoqing and the others to a hidden bush. She rolled up her sleeves, kicked the dirt on the ground, and revealed a square iron plate on the ground: " Open it, there is a tunnel below, which can lead to the outside of the city!"

"Isn't your father aware of this?" Murong Shen bent down and lifted the iron plate, revealing the dark hole underneath, raised his eyes and asked.

"Yes." Lin Xirong nodded immediately when she heard the words: "My mother and many family members in the mansion have already left the tunnel."

"No wonder you chose to follow me without hesitation." Ye Zhaoqing laughed immediately upon hearing this.

Seeing her expression, Lin Xirong couldn't help but blushed, and said: "At that time I rushed into the living room, and I was worried that I couldn't find a reason to persuade the emperor to let you leave with me, but I didn't expect that you would directly ask me if I would like to with you."

"You still hesitated for a while, the queen mother was cheated to death by you!" Ye Zhaoqing laughed again, but when she caught a glimpse of Li Yuzhi standing aside, she immediately comforted: "Don't worry, your father It's impossible for the emperor to not have a set of hole cards in his hand, but he didn't show it until the last moment. Do you think he doesn't know that Lin Xiangfu has this secret path? Otherwise, he wouldn't let you leave with us."

Li Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "You mean, if the gate of the mansion is breached at the last moment, my father and grandmother will escape from the tunnel?"

"It should be like this." Ye Zhaoqing nodded upon hearing this.

"Great!" Li Yu's anger was swept away in an instant.

Needless to say, Ye Zhaoqing and others desperately speeded up and ran deep into the tunnel. The tunnel has been built for many years and looks a bit dilapidated, but the bottom is not damp, and it can accommodate two people walking side by side.

I don't know how long they walked, Ye Zhaoqing and the others finally came to the end of the tunnel.

"Do you know where it is outside?" Murong Shen asked Lin Xirong.

"It's a separate courtyard of the Lin family on the outskirts of the city." Lin Xirong replied: "The place is a bit remote, and people who don't know the inside story can't find it at all."

"Now we can only hope that there is no response from the third prince in the Lin family, otherwise, what is waiting for us will not be a good thing." Murong Shen said, and suddenly lifted the iron plate above his head.

A bright light pierced through, but there was no movement outside.

After waiting for a while, Murong Shen was the first to jump out of the tunnel. He leaned over and pulled Ye Zhaoqing up from the tunnel, followed by Lin Xirong and Li Yu.

There was an orchard outside, and it was mid-winter at this time, and there was nothing in the orchard, and it was easy to see if there was anyone around.

"Xi Rong, since your mother and the others escaped from here, they should be near here." Ye Zhaoqing searched around, but couldn't find anyone, so he couldn't help asking.

"They must have gone there!" Lin Xirong reached out and pointed towards a pavilion not far away.

"Xi Rong, it's not convenient for us to go there. If you want to see your mother..." Ye Zhaoqing said apologetically.

"It's okay! As long as she's safe, it's the same whether I see her or not!" Lin Xirong said immediately.

Ye Zhaoqing's eyes suddenly showed a touch of emotion.

While the two were talking, Murong Shen had already sent out a contact signal.He turned around and glanced at Li Yu, and said: "Prince, in order to save your father, we have to go to the nearest Qingzhou army to ask for help. Would you like to go with me?"

"Of course I am willing!" Li Yulang replied in a loud voice: "In order to save my father and mother concubine, I will do my best!"

"Okay! Then let's go!" Murong Shen said, turned his head to look at Ye Zhaoqing firmly, and said in a deep voice, "Wait for me here for two days!"

"Okay!" Ye Zhaoqing nodded immediately when he heard the words, and at the same time quickly said: "The third prince can't catch anyone in the prime minister's mansion, so he will definitely find this place along the secret road. If he moves to another place, I will give you a signal!"

"Okay!" Murong Shen nodded, stared deeply at Ye Zhaoqing, turned around suddenly, and left without looking back.

After walking not far, he suddenly blew a whistle, and soon, two fast horses came running not far ahead, Murong Shen and Li Yu got on the horses, and soon ran away.

Ye Zhaoqing had been standing there watching their backs, and only looked away when she couldn't see them.

Lin Xirong looked at her enviously, and said, "Master Tai Tuo is so responsible, I really envy you."

"Xiyun!" After finishing the words, someone suddenly shouted in the distance.

Ye Zhaoqing was very familiar with this voice, and immediately turned his head to take a look, only to see Murong Jin running over from outside in big strides.

"You don't have to envy me, look, isn't your lover here too? And he treats you well." Ye Zhaoqing laughed immediately.

Lin Xirong looked away shyly.

With Murong Jin here, soon Ye Zhaoqing and others, as well as Mrs. Lin, also secretly transferred out of this other courtyard of the Lin Mansion, and they didn't dare to stay here for too long, and walked as far as they could.

It's just that Ye Zhaoqing was still a little worried, she wished she could go further.

"Don't worry, the situation is not that bad." Seeing this, Murong Jin immediately comforted her and said, "The emperor is an old fox after all, how could he be easily taken down by the third prince? Lin Xiang's mansion is still as stable as an iron barrel, It's just that the situation in your natal family's Ningguo Mansion is not so good."

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhaoqing's face remained unmoved when he heard the words.

Murong Jin glanced at her and saw that she was not nervous, so he said: "Your father Ye Chen, Marquis of Ningguo, was killed by the Third Prince."

"Where are the others?" Ye Zhaoqing was not surprised by this, the third prince is cruel, and under that round, kind-looking face hides a vicious soul.

"Others, Mrs. Ye heard her son's death, so she was so angry that she couldn't breathe, so she followed suit. Mrs. Ning Guohou lost both her husband and her son. She only had one daughter to rely on, but the third prince didn't want to take her in." Murong Jin said in a deep voice: "Besides, Mrs. Ning Guohou doesn't intend to be filial for Ning Guohou."

"That's up to her!" Ye Zhaoqing sneered immediately after hearing this: "She has been married to Ye Chen for so many years, and she has enjoyed the glory and wealth that ordinary people can hardly enjoy. She has to pay something, she doesn't care, someone will take care of her .”

Ye Zhaoqing was right. When Mrs. Ning Guohou was about to pack up her belongings and run away, the pregnant Ye Xiangwan came to the door and watched her be strangled. Afterwards, she buried Ning Guohou and his wife in person.

"Ye Xiangwan is also ruthless." Ye Zhaoqing was a little surprised when he heard the news: "It's really unexpected that she will do something to Mrs. Ye herself."

"There are a lot of unexpected things." Murong Jin said in a deep voice, "But the situation is becoming more and more pessimistic."

At that time, they lived in a small town five days away from the capital for a month. During this period, Murong Jin went out every day to inquire about news, and would bring the latest news to share with Ye Zhaoqing. She figured it out together.

"The Qingzhou army brought by your elder brother is inseparable from the troops of the third prince. The third prince has occupied the palace, and there is still half of the palace. It seems that there is still a fight."

"I won't hold on for a long time." Murong Jin said in a low voice: "The Third Prince's troops can no longer hold on, and now the troops from all over the country rushing to the capital to support the emperor and the prince have rushed to the capital one after another, failing, That's a matter of time."

"Those people in the palace, did the emperor give up just like that?" Ye Zhaoqing asked in a deep voice after a long silence.

"It's just some concubines, the emperor doesn't care, what do you care about them?" Murong Jin was a little puzzled.

"In that case, it's really cheap for that old Queen Mother." Ye Zhaoqing sighed after hearing the words.There is a sigh in the tone.

That day in Ningguohou's Mansion, she was looking forward to the Queen Mother's death, after all, that person was the culprit who murdered his father.Unexpectedly, so many people died in the palace, and the queen mother who left the palace early, saved her life because of this.

"Not really." Murong Jin shook her head when she heard the words, "These days, the people of the Third Prince have attacked so fiercely. The Queen Mother is worried that she is already ill. There are not many doctors in Dingguo's mansion. She is already a doctor." I'm struggling, maybe the queen mother will be dead long ago when the emperor wins."

"I hope!" Ye Zhaoqing said, suddenly remembered another person: "What about Concubine Rong?"

"Concubine Rong was the first to die." Murong Jin immediately said after hearing this: "The third prince was the first to kill after entering the palace."

Ye Zhaoqing didn't know what to say when he heard the words, so he just died?

The tense situation was still going on, time seemed to be very slow, and it seemed to be very fast. Before Ye Zhaoqing noticed it in a daze, another half month passed.

In the past half a month, for the sake of purity, she has not allowed Murong Jin to tell her the situation in the capital, and only when Murong Shen has a situation, will she tell her.

On this day, Ye Zhaoqing stayed up all night again, and suddenly felt a little sleepy in the afternoon, so he closed his eyes in a daze.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt her body lighten up, and then fell into someone's embrace.

The temperature woke her up, but there was a trace of familiar warmth. Ye Zhaoqing quickly opened his eyes, and saw Murong Shen, whom he had missed day and night for more than a month, was in front of him, but at this time he was different from usual , the newly grown beard on the corner of the mouth has not had time to shave off, and the whole person looks a little tired.

But those eyes were shining brightly.

"Did you come back just now? Are you not tired? Let me down!" Ye Zhaoqing said hurriedly.

"I'm not tired." Murong Shen said, but still put her down as promised.

Ye Zhaoqing looked at the person standing in front of him alive, but still couldn't believe it.Suddenly, she felt the ground move.

Ye Zhaoqing was startled, and suddenly lowered his head, only then realized that he was actually standing on the deck of a ship.

She turned her head, but she saw that the surrounding water was clear, and the green hills on both sides of the bank were endless. This place was no longer a place she was familiar with.

"Where are you taking me?" Ye Zhaoqing was a little confused.

"Didn't you say before that you want to wander around the world and live a peaceful life?" Murong Shen smiled slightly when he heard this, "I'll take you there right now."

"But, the capital..."

"The matter in the capital is over. The third prince has been put to death, and the emperor has returned to the palace, but he feels a little tired recently and has not gone to court." Murong Shen smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "That's right, the Queen Mother I'm critically ill, it's only been a few days, I don't want to enter the palace to honor her filial piety, that's why I took you out, why, you don't want to? "

"No." Ye Zhaoqing shook his head gently when he heard the words: "I am very happy, then, where is the prince?"

"Of course he is still his crown prince? But recently he has replaced the emperor to preside over the government. Don't worry, he will occupy that position in a few years." Murong Shen explained.

"That's good." Ye Zhaoqing nodded immediately when he heard the words.

Murong Shen stretched out his arms to hug her, and suddenly pointed towards her not far away: "Follow this river downstream, there will be a very beautiful village, let's go and settle there, what do you think?"

"We'll have to wait and see." Ye Zhaoqing frowned when he heard the words: "However, it seems that we are not married yet? It doesn't seem good for me to follow you like this?"

"Don't worry, we have the matchmaker's words, and the emperor's imperial decree..." Murong Shen immediately laughed when he heard the words: "You can pay homage when you get there."

"But the Empress Dowager's filial piety..."

"Take care of her filial piety!"
