Seeing that there were only these three guards in front of him, Zhao Zhao was determined to win, but he had to make sure that their movements would not attract other retainers.

Zhao Zhao led at least seventeen or eighteen people, which was more than enough to deal with three people. Although the guards in the backyard of Prime Minister Lu's Mansion were weak, they must not underestimate the enemy. If the guards in the front yard heard the news and came over, they would be ready to attack.

Can't escape.

"Go to the front of the kitchen to see what's going on first. It would be bad if there is an ambush in front of you." Zhao Zhao looked at the carriage that was bound to win, and kept thinking about his next action in his mind.

As long as you take away this carriage, you can go back to the palace to testify against Lu Huiling's crimes.

Deng Xin led a few people around to the front, while Cheng Liang was now at the back door of Prime Minister Lu's Mansion, preparing to open the back door so that Zhao Zhao could drive the carriage and run out later.

When they were all ready, Zhao Zhao made a little noise.

Guard A looked over again warily and said, "There is really movement, and it's not the sound of the wind."

The other two guards naturally heard these knocks on the door, and they looked at each other: "Go and have a look."

Just as they approached the wooden door, Zhao Zhao and several soldiers stepped forward and twisted their necks three times.

Then he opened the curtain of the carriage, and the fishy smell of mutton hit his face, making Zhao Zhao cover his nose and frown.

The other soldiers also covered their noses: "General..."

Zhao Zhao turned around and ordered: "Hide the bodies of these three people. If there is nothing unexpected on Deng Xin's side, just don't let them discover them."

The soldiers nodded, placed the guards' bodies next to the firewood pile, and covered them with firewood. This way, even if someone came over, they would not find the bodies so quickly without seeing them.

Zhao Zhao turned over the pile of sheep and found that the palace maid's body was pressed underneath. Zhao Zhao resisted his nausea and took out the small statue of the palace maid in his arms to compare it: "Yes."

"General, how do we take the body away?" a soldier asked.

Zhao Zhao frowned as he looked at the pile of sheep carcasses, then turned to look at the front kitchen, hoping that nothing would happen to Deng Xin.

Then Zhao Zhao threw down the curtain and sat at the front of the carriage. He turned around and said to the soldiers following him: "If the people in front are alarmed, go to Deng Xin's side to help resist. Cheng Liang will take over."

I."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, several soldiers quickly ran to the front to meet Deng Xin.

"Drive!" Zhao Zhao whipped the horse, and the horse screamed. Under Zhao Zhao's control, it ran straight to the back door.

People in the front yard heard a sudden scream and rushed to see it, but Deng Xin was guarding the front. How could he let them pass so easily? He quickly rushed out from other places to stop the front yard guard.

At the back door, Cheng Liang also knocked out the concierge at the back door. After seeing Zhao Zhao's carriage approaching, he quickly shouted: "General! Here!"

"Hurry up and meet Deng Xin!" After Zhao Zhao saw the door, he whipped the horse again and urged the horse to run over there. The horse screamed and rushed straight out.

Cheng Liang asked two soldiers to follow Zhao Zhao to protect him, while he and his men rushed to the front yard to meet Deng Xin.

A group of guards gathered in the front yard, and the housekeeper Fang Lu also hurried over. Seeing the chaotic situation, he quickly ran to the kitchen to take a look. When he saw that the carriage was gone, he shouted: "Quick! Go after the carriage!"

Fang Lu never thought that this should be an extremely easy task to complete, so why would someone suddenly come to snatch the carriage?

Fang Lu and others panicked for a moment, and a group of guards quickly chased them out, but Zhao Zhao had already run away.

Deng Xin and Cheng Liang delayed the actions of Fang Lu and others. Seeing that Zhao Zhao had escaped, they quickly jumped over the wall and escaped.

Their purpose was not to kill the guards of Prime Minister Lu's Mansion, but when they saw that the bodies were in their hands and it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, they hurriedly ran away.

Zhao Zhao drove the carriage and ran all the way back to the military camp. No one followed him, but when he arrived at the military camp, he was able to take out the body of the palace maid.

Deng Xin and Cheng Liang held back the guards of Prime Minister Lu's Mansion, and when they jumped over the wall to escape, they quickly escaped in the other direction.

They were not wearing military uniforms, so Fang Lu naturally could not recognize who they were. As long as they delayed for a while, until Zhao Zhao brought the bodies back to the palace, the task would be considered completed.

After Zhao Zhao hurriedly returned to the military camp, the guards at the gate hurriedly greeted him. They all moved the mutton down. This corpse was to be presented to the emperor, so it must not have a strong smell of blood.

In order for everyone to see clearly the strangle marks on the palace maid's neck, Zhao Zhao also ordered people to wipe away the blood stains of the lamb on the palace maid's body, leaving only her palace clothes.

The palace maid is a bit older, and she has devoted most of her youth to the palace, but now she has no choice but to go astray, which ultimately leads to her own unlucky death.

After Zhao Zhao returned to the military camp, his whole heart calmed down. He looked at the sky above his head and saw that the snow was no longer falling. This bright world would eventually see the light of day again.

"Your Majesty, please get on the sedan chair and go... It's snowing on the road, so your body is just right, it will be slippery..." Aunt Yun Xi helped Concubine Mei out, and when Eunuch He Sheng came to pick up Concubine Mei,

A sedan was specially set up. Although Concubine Mei was now considered guilty in the eyes of the emperor, she was still the empress in charge, and her status was very noble, so she could not be neglected easily.

Xia Rongxin looked at the sedan chair, only glanced at it and then stopped looking at it: "I'll go on foot."

Xia Rongxin couldn't calm down. She never thought that it would be Zhi Guiren who would harm her. She had to think carefully about what to do in front of the emperor later.

Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu followed behind. Seeing that Concubine Mei did not get on the sedan chair, they naturally understood what she was thinking.

Aunt Yun Xi was very anxious. Concubine Mei was only in good health. How could she walk to Qinzheng Hall in the wind and snow like this? She looked back at Princess Wangshu and Princess Jing, hoping that they could help persuade the empress.

.

But Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu looked at Aunt Yun Xi's eyes and shook their heads. Aunt Yun Xi had no choice but to give up and help the empress to walk cautiously towards Qinzheng Hall.

The imperial doctors were afraid that there would be some trouble, so they hurriedly followed behind.

Liang Huanqing turned around and saw a young imperial physician of seventeen or eighteen years old standing among the many older imperial physicians. He couldn't help but sigh: "Can you still enter the imperial hospital at such a young age?"

Qi Wangshu looked back and said, "I am a child prodigy, a gifted imperial physician."

Liang Huanqing nodded, and coincidentally, the young Imperial Physician Shentu raised his head, saw Princess Jing looking at him, and lost his mind for a moment.

Liang Huanqing met his eyes, and then turned her head indifferently and followed Concubine Mei. Liang Huanqing didn't think much, but just mentioned it by accident. All she was thinking about was meeting her at Qinzheng Hall later.

Your Majesty, how can we tell Lu Huiling's crime in a favorable way?

I don’t know how Liang Ji and Zhao Zhao are doing their work at this time.
