Chapter 412: Chase and flee

Outside Chaohua Palace, Nangong Yang, who was leaning on the hilt of the knife with both hands and resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, looked at the closed door of the hall, and asked, "How long has the second prince been in?"

"Sir, it's about one stick of incense."

The office next to him quickly responded.

"It feels a little bit wrong."

Nangong Yang narrowed his eyes, "Don't wait, go and go in and take a look."

After saying that, he pressed the hilt of the knife and walked towards the hall gate, and the people around him followed closely behind.

The closed hall door was directly knocked open. Nangong Yang took a calm face and quickly passed through the hall door with a group of subordinates and headed straight for Concubine Li's bedroom. The palace maids and eunuchs around him were too late to avoid it and no one dared to stop him.

If Concubine Li had not lost her power, let alone Nangong Yang's move, even if the governor came here in person, the eunuch in the hall would dare to stop him outside.

But today is different from the past. Small figures like them are best at changing their minds and putting their own mistakes.

Looking at the closed bedroom, Nangong Yang raised his hand and stopped the person behind him. After all, he was the concubine, and his identity was there. Even if he lost his power, he would not be able to collide casually. The rules that should be followed must be abide by. Otherwise, if Concubine Li really wants to make trouble, even the eldest prince may not protect him.

He stepped forward a few steps and bowed slightly, "Imperial Concubine, Nangong Yang, can the Second Prince be in the hall?"

After waiting for a while, there was no movement inside.

Nangong Yang slowly raised his head, his eyes became sharper. He resisted the urge to kick the door, raised his anger again, and shouted loudly: "Please open the door, please open the door!"

The next moment, a baby cries came from it.

Nangong Yang was stunned for a moment and asked to the palace maid beside him: "What's going on? Where did the child come from?"

"Back, I'll report to you that it should be Princess Ning'an's child!"

The palace maid replied in a low voice.

Hearing this, Nangong Yang was silent for a while, frowned and looked at the palace gate, and the baby's hissing sound like a broken lung continued to come out of it.

Something is wrong! Why has the baby cried never stopped?

He felt aroused in his heart, looked at the palace maids around him and said, "You guys go and push the door open!"

Several palace maids did not dare to disobey, so they walked to the palace gate and pushed it together, but the gate did not move at all.

"Sir, the door is locked from the inside!"

Nangong Yang's eyes flashed, he unsheathed the knife and strode forward. The sharp sword light was like a thunder, accurately cutting the crossbar inside along the door crack as thick as a finger.

Then he kicked the door and two heavy doors suddenly opened.

A faint smell of blood suddenly drifted into Nangong Yang's nostrils. His face changed and he rushed in directly. He saw Concubine Li's personal palace maid lying on the ground, and a month-old baby was lying on the bright red blood and howling.

"Search it for me! There must be a secret passage here, find it!"

Nangong Yang looked around and ordered to the subordinates who followed him.

"yes!"

The surrounding guards immediately dispersed and began to carefully search every corner of the bedroom, bookcases, antique potted plants, and columns, and every possible place with mechanisms, which were their targets for inspection.

"Don't let go of every inch, you will definitely find it!"

Nangong Yang was furious in his heart, and he actually let the second prince slip away under his nose. If he couldn't catch him back, he would not even be able to take over as the position of governor.

Without mentioning this identity, those who hold a grudge against him will not take the opportunity to take the lead!

A moment later, when someone checked the ground, he hit the stone slab at the entrance of the secret passage. His face changed. After listening carefully to the sound of the knocking, he immediately stood up, "Sir, I found it!"

When Nangong Yang heard this, he immediately walked over and knocked it with a scabbard. From the sound that came out, it can be judged that the bottom was indeed hollow, but the thickness of the stone slab was not small. He pried the tip of the knife along the gap, and the stone slab did not move at all.

"Go and find the tool and pry it open!"

The conversation was divided into two parts. After Liu Feng and others entered the secret passage, they continued to move towards the exit of the cliff to the east.

Not long after, a muffled sound came from behind, and everyone's face changed, because it means that the entrance had been discovered and the person who was undercover was destroying the stone slab.

"People ahead quickly!"

Li Jun, who was at the end, said, carrying Ning An and ran away directly. Concubine Li and Ning Yang in front of him had to speed up.

The palace is quite large. Even if you walk in a straight line, it is about a thousand meters away. The secret passage is winding and twisting, and the distance is at least several times more. In addition, it is stuffy and smells bad. Concubine Li, who has always been pampering, quickly became exhausted and slowed down.

"Huh, no, no, I can't run anymore."

Concubine Li held the wall, panting, and slowly stopped.

"Mother, hold on for a while."

Li Jun was also very tired at this time, after all, he was carrying a person on his shoulders.

Concubine Li leaned against the wall in sweat and waved her hands. Her lips turned white, her chest was fluttering rapidly, and she was panting, and she felt even more troublesome to speak.

"Zhenxi King, please help me."

Li Jun had no choice but to ask Liu Feng for help.

"Zhou Qing, please bring the imperial concubine!"

In the entire team, except for him and Zhuang Hai, Zhou Qing's physical strength is OK. With her natural divine power, she is also a woman, which is the most suitable one.

Zhou Qing nodded, walked to Concubine Li, and said, "I offended."

Then he directly carried Concubine Li on his shoulder, which scared the other party to exclaim. The team continued to move forward, but in order to avoid the pursuers behind, their speed could not slow down at all. In this way, a second person who was exhausted soon appeared.

"Lu Yi, come and take the little princess."

Lu Yi was also very tired at this time, but after a look at the little girl who fell to the end, silently holding the wall step by step, gritting her teeth and persevering, her heart softened and she went over and carried her back.

After running for a while, Li Jun's pace began to slow down. He hesitated for a moment, and finally put down Ning An, who was still in a coma on his shoulder, and then continued to move forward.

This scene happened to be seen by the little princess Ning Yang in front of him. The little girl who had been silent suddenly shouted, "Don't leave the emperor's sister, let me down."

This time, everyone in front of them stopped.

"There is no way, I really don't have the strength to carry it anymore. I can't get out of this secret passage."

Li Jun said expressionlessly.

Concubine Li, who was lying on Zhou Qing's shoulder, showed a sad face, her lips moved, and finally closed her eyes.

"No, you can't leave my princess. This sister, please put me down and I'll stay. Please take my princess away."

Ning Yang said that he was about to slide down Lu Yi's back, but the other party pressed him firmly.

“Dadadadada······”

A burst of rapid footsteps approached quickly from behind, and the pursuers were about to catch up.

"We're catching up from behind, don't be too late, go!"

Liu Feng said, turned around and walked to Ning An, squatted slightly, and then said to Li Jun: "Let her on my back."
