Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 295 Arrested, one escaped

In the middle of the night, the cold wind howled like the roar of a monster, light rain mixed with fine snow fell, and the whole capital was freezing cold.

Outside the Prince's Mansion of Chen County, the imperial guards surrounded the Palace on the third floor from the left, and the guards in armor stood upright, as if they were stone statues that could not feel the cold.

In the palace, two young servants lowered their heads and walked quickly on the bluestone road. A man holding a black umbrella came in front of them. They stopped and called out respectfully: "The chief executive." Light and low, as if afraid to startle someone.

Chen Qi hummed, and the two servants bowed and left quickly with their heads buried.

Chen Qi frowned, his expression was very bad.Ever since the palace was surrounded by the forbidden army, the wind from outside became more and more unfavorable to the prince, and the whole palace fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was terrified, and they dared not speak loudly when they walked, for fear that if they made a loud noise, they would call in the forbidden army from outside .

He walked outside the study, adjusted his expression, and knocked on the door: "My lord, my servant Chen Qi."

"Come in." The voice of Prince Chen came from inside.

Chen Qi opened the door and went in, saluted first, and then said: "I don't know if the lord has recruited the servants, what orders do you have?"

Li Cangze was writing something with his head down. After a while, he put down the pen, folded a thin piece of silk gauze into the size of a copper plate, and stuffed it into the wax pill.

"You go out right away," Li Cangze handed him the wax pills, "find a Xingwang mutton soup shop on Cuiliu Street in the west of the city, and hand this letter to the shopkeeper there."

Chen Qi took the letter, put it in his sleeve, and said, "Your servant will go now."

"Don't blame me for asking you to go out and take risks," Li Cangze said, "If you hadn't run for me, they wouldn't have believed it."

Chen Qi hurriedly said: "Slaves dare not, it is the duty of slaves to serve the prince."

Li Cangze smiled and said, "You can do this for me, and my plight will be resolved in a short time. Then you will be the biggest contributor. But if you leak the news..."

Chen Qi's heart trembled, and he promised: "Even if the servant dies, he will not leak any news!"

"This king naturally trusts you," Li Cangze said. "Tomorrow, this king will let your youngest son be the steward of the granary. This is a reward from this king in advance."

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!" Chen Qi said gratefully, but his heart felt cold. The lord was threatening him with his family.

"Go early and come back early," Li Cangze said in a gentle voice, "I am waiting for your good news."

Chen Qi saluted and left the room.

He touched the wax pill in his sleeve. He has always been loyal to the prince. The prince has never been so cautious before. This time he used his family to threaten him. Obviously, the content of the letter is not trivial. Even for his confidant, the prince must be cautious Be cautious.

Chen Qi swallowed his saliva, and left with heavy steps.

In the study room, Li Cangze's expression darkened as soon as the door was closed, and his handsome face looked eerie under the light of the candlelight.

Unless it was a last resort, he didn't want to take this move, but this time, the emperor probably really didn't intend to let him go.

The imperial guards outside the palace became more and more heavily guarded day by day, the queen mother was trapped in the Shouchun Palace, the emperor beheaded and relegated all those who spoke for him, and those who took refuge in him hurriedly separated themselves.But today, Fang Zhaoyi was caught and Hua Yingchu moved into the palace. He had a premonition of urgency, and if he didn't do it himself, it would be too late!
In Li Cangze's eyes, there is a kind of determination and ruthlessness in his eyes. He has endured long enough. The emperor has cut his wings step by step. Even if he escapes by chance this time, all his power will shrink. Then his wish will never be possible. Achieved!
Waiting, never waiting for the right opportunity, although it is dangerous for him now, it is also an opportunity.He has to stir up great chaos in Dayan before he can take the opportunity to seize the throne!
Chen Qi returned to his own yard and entered a room where sundries were piled up. He moved a table and kicked the third brick in the corner, and a half-person-high entrance was immediately exposed on the wall, and he walked down the steps. , is a dark underground passage.

Li Cangze has the heart to fight for the world, so how could he not leave a way out for himself.Under the Chenjun Prince's Mansion, there are criss-crossing secret roads, several streets leading to all directions of the capital, and two directly leading to the outside of the city.

However, there are only two entrances to the secret passage, one is naturally in Li Cangze's yard, and the other is in the utility room of Chief Manager Chen Qi that no one would expect.

Chen Qi got in with the lantern, checked the direction, and walked quickly along a passage.

Half an hour later, in a wing room in the backyard of a band, Chen Qi pushed open the bed board and jumped out from under the bed.

Taking out a set of clothes from the closet and changing quickly, Chen Qi opened the door and went out.The sounds of singing, dancing and laughter from the front yard could be faintly heard. A few sons and daughters walked forward drunkenly with Mei Ji in their arms. Chen Qi followed them to the front yard, and then mingled with the people coming and going, and left quickly. Lefang.

He didn't notice that one of the people who smelled of alcohol raised his eyes to look in the direction he left, and continued to joke with the beauty in his arms as if nothing had happened.

Chen Qi avoided the night patrolling soldiers, and chose to walk in unmanned alleys. He looked around vigilantly all the way to prevent anyone from following him, and walked to Cuiliu Street with a lot of twists and turns.

Xingwang Mutton Soup Shop is not difficult to find at all, it occupies a large shop, the signboard on the door is very conspicuous, at this time the shop door is closed, there is no light inside.

Chen Qi walked to the base of the wall in the backyard and jumped into the yard.As soon as he took a few steps, a sword with a cold light stabbed from the slope, and he narrowly avoided it.

"Stop!" Chen Qi hurriedly shouted in a low voice, "I came here at the master's order, looking for the shopkeeper of your store."

The man glanced at him, then walked out from the dark place, with a simple face like an honest man, and his smile was also simple: "It turns out that it's Chief Chen of the Prince's Mansion of Chen County."

Next, he led Chen Qi to a living room, and after a while, the shopkeeper walked in from the door.

The shopkeeper also had an honest look, but his eyes were very shrewd: "Mr. Chen visited late at night, could it be that the prince has figured it out?"

Chen Qi didn't know what he meant, and he didn't know the identities of these people, but he didn't intend to inquire at all, he just wanted to complete the task immediately and return to the palace.

"Are you the shopkeeper?" Chen Qi first wanted to confirm his identity.

"Not bad." The shopkeeper said.The person before also nodded beside him.

Then Chen Qi took out the wax pill and handed it to him: "This is the letter that the prince asked me to hand over to you."

The shopkeeper took it, crushed the wax pill with two fingers, and shook the letter inside.He had just skimmed through the letter, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and a cold shout: "Surround the yard and don't let anyone out!"

The expressions of all three people in the room changed.

Chen Qi's first reaction was to snatch the letter from the shopkeeper, stuff it into his mouth and swallow it.

"Director Chen, come out quickly, we are here to meet you!" Someone shouted.

The shopkeeper's eyes were fierce: "You framed us!" He said and slapped Chen Qi.

His martial arts are very powerful, Chen Qi took a step back and did not dodge, and was hit by a palm to the corner of the wall to vomit blood.

"This is sowing discord!" Seeing that he was about to slap again, Chen Qi quickly explained, "I'm being followed!"

The shopkeeper reacted subconsciously just now, but now he suddenly realized that if the outsiders were really with Chen Qi, they wouldn't have yelled such a voice and put him in a dangerous situation.But he was still very angry, this person was too careless, causing them to be exposed too!

"I'll go!" The shopkeeper cursed angrily, and shouted at his subordinates, "Let's go!"

However, it was too late, a large number of soldiers rushed into the yard, fighting with the shop assistants, the door of the living room was kicked open, and a middle-aged man with a serious face stood at the door.

"Tang Zhongchen!" Chen Qi blurted out, with fear and despair in his eyes.

Tang Zhongchen waved his hand behind him and ordered coldly, "Arrest them all!"

More than a dozen people rushed in, and the three people in the room rose up to resist. Chen Qi, who was seriously injured, was quickly captured alive. The shopkeeper and his men overturned everyone and rushed towards the door.

A group of elite soldiers protected Tang Zhongchen and retreated, and more soldiers surrounded the two shopkeepers.

The guys in the shop also died very quickly, and there were only two shopkeepers, who were very brave. The ordinary soldiers were no opponents at all, and a large area fell quickly, and the two could escape.

"You guys go too," Tang Zhongchen said to the elite soldiers protecting him, "We must catch them!"

"No, Mr. Tang, our duty is to protect you." One person said.

"Stop talking nonsense! Go!" Tang Zhongchen said eagerly, "Don't let them escape!"

After Tang Zhongchen urged him several times, these people rushed forward.As soon as they joined, the pressure on the soldiers dropped sharply, and they quickly suppressed the two shopkeepers.

The injuries on the two shopkeepers gradually increased, and they became more and more unable to hold on. The subordinate suddenly fought his injuries and shot Tang Zhongchen with a short knife. At the same time, his abdomen was also stabbed through.

"Master Tang!" Everyone was shocked and shouted in a hurry.

Tang Zhongchen backed away in a panic, tripped over his own foot, tilted his body, and the dagger missed the spot, stabbing his left shoulder, and a stream of blood spattered out.

The shopkeeper took advantage of the moment when everyone panicked, chopped down a soldier, rushed out of the encirclement, jumped over the wall and flew out.There was shouting and fighting outside, and the soldiers surrounding the yard fought with the shopkeeper.

"Master Tang, hold on!" an elite soldier shouted, "Please call for a doctor!"

"We must catch him!" Tang Zhongchen forced himself to finish his sentence and passed out.

The alleys outside are narrow, and there are not many soldiers who can fight against the shopkeeper at the same time. The shopkeeper has no intention of fighting and just wants to escape. Not long after, relying on the darkness and familiarity with the terrain, he fled the soldiers and fled.

In the thick night, on a roof in the distance, two figures stood one behind the other, their black clothes rustling in the cold wind.

"General," said the man behind, "that man has escaped, so there is no need for us to take action."

The man standing in front with his hands behind his back was tall and straight, with a pair of cold eyes darkened by the night: "Go and follow him, and help him if necessary, so that he won't be caught."

"Yes." The people behind answered, jumped off the roof without making a sound, and chased in the direction the shopkeeper left.
