Fengyi Palace is Liya's palace. Liya has been imprisoned in Fengyi Palace these days.

His Highness the Tenth Prince had a stern look on his face, and with the look in his eyes, he ordered in a cold voice: "Seal the palace gate! Not even a fly can be let out! Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with sadness, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Queen Dong still has the bones and blood of the late Emperor in her belly! Don't hurt her!"

His Highness the Tenth Prince ignored the Queen Mother and strode away with his men.

When he arrived outside the palace, he asked a middle-aged eunuch beside him: "Can your formation really prevent Liya from using witchcraft to escape?"

The eunuch bowed and said, "Don't worry, my dear brother, I've set up two layers of formations outside Fengyi Palace. That enchantress Liya won't be able to escape with her wings!"

His Highness the Tenth Prince snorted coldly, "It's best to do as you say, otherwise, I will make you a real eunuch!"

The eunuch smiled resolutely and said: "I have a blood feud with the witch doctor clan. How could I let her go so easily? Your Majesty, don't worry. You can just ascend the throne and become the emperor!"

His Royal Highness was coaxed by his words and smiled.

If the Queen Mother hadn't insisted on waiting for Liya to give birth to a child before dealing with her, he would have killed Liya long ago.

"However, the cause of this fire is strange. If you put out the fire, you will see the person alive, and you will see the corpse if you die!"

"Yes!" The commander of the Royal Forest Army took the order and left.

It was a time when autumn was crisp and the weather was dry. The fire shot straight into the sky and could not be extinguished for a while.

His Highness the Tenth Prince gave an order in a cold voice, "Surround Fengyi Palace! Whoever goes in to find Liya will be rewarded with five hundred taels of gold!"

After thinking for a while, he added, "No matter whether Liya is dead or alive!"

He could remember that when Gui Lin and the Fourteenth Emperor's brother were buried in the flames, someone came in to save them with a heavy reward, wearing a quilt soaked in water.

This is the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne. Those who risk their lives to gain a bright future should stand up and give it a try.

However, before anyone could enter, the dormitory hall of Fengyi Palace collapsed and became a ruin in a sea of ​​fire.

His Highness the Tenth Prince's face darkened, "Fight the fire! Even if it turns into a corpse, we still have to find the person!"

At this time, Liya had already used invisibility to escape from the palace.

Wearing the coarse clothes of ordinary people, she looked back at the soaring flames in the palace and felt a tragic feeling.

A'Zhu said happily: "Thankfully Queen Zhao helped, otherwise we would have been doomed this time."

Just when Queen Zhao was about to faint and she went to help her, Queen Zhao thrust a note into her hand without leaving any trace.

It says that there are secret rooms and secret passages in Fengyi Palace. Although they do not lead to the outside of the palace, they can lead to several places outside Fengyi Palace.

The members of the black witch doctor clan that His Highness the Tenth Highness had drawn over formed a formation around Fengyi Palace so that they could not use witchcraft to get out of Fengyi Palace.

But as long as you leave Fengyi Palace and avoid the range of the formation, you'll be fine.

Therefore, they came out of the secret passage and used invisibility to fight their way out of the palace.

In fact, these were all told by the Queen Mother to Queen Zhao, because Fengyi Palace was originally prepared for Queen Zhao. However, in the end, a higher-status East Queen Liya was killed, and Fengyi Palace was given to Liya to live in.

Liya's eyes dimmed slightly, "I will remember this favor."

A'Zhu said: "Master, let's get out of here quickly."

Liya said: "No, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Find a small courtyard in the city to live in. That little fox will definitely send someone to trace it secretly if he doesn't see my body."

According to ordinary people's thinking, after escaping danger, they would escape from the capital overnight, so she came under the lamp in the dark to catch him by surprise.

Besides, she is pregnant now and is not suitable for long-distance escape.

Moreover, she was not reconciled to not having seen the emperor's body with her own eyes. She at least found an insider to ask if what she found was actually the emperor's body.

…

The news of the emperor's funeral and the emperor's younger brother's enthronement had just arrived in Yuancheng, and then the imperial edict summoned Dongming Ziyu, Shangguan Ruoli and their four children to return to Beijing to attend the emperor's funeral and the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

This time, drawing on the lessons learned last time, the imperial edict did not generally mention bringing family members, but named them by name and was very specific and detailed.

Shangguan Ruoli sneered, "This little white-eyed wolf is really clever."

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "He was able to kill his father without leaving any trace at the age of seven or eight. Even I and the Jin Yiwei couldn't find any solid evidence. After growing up in the past few years, his skills must have improved."

Shangguan Ruoli sighed: "You also warned the emperor at the beginning to be careful about the dangers of raising tigers. Now he has suffered such a big loss. He deserves it."

Dongming Ziyu could only deal with the matter between their brothers. He could not force the emperor to kill His Highness Ten, nor could he take action on behalf of the emperor.

In that case, I'm afraid I won't be harmed, and may even become an enemy.

"Old Ten is so cruel and ruthless, even more so than my father. I'm afraid he won't worry about killing all the emperor's sons. I'm afraid none of our surviving brothers can escape the murderous hand." Dongming Ziyu's eyes were as deep as the sea, helpless and sad.

After all, nothing can be avoided. In this life-and-death game between father, son, and brother, there can only be one winner left in the end.

Shangguan Ruoli frowned slightly, "Knowing that that little bastard will make it impossible for us to go back, do we still want to go back?"

Dongming Ziyu's face darkened, "He is a little bastard, so who am I?"

Uh! Shangguan Ruoli chuckled and said, "The Queen Mother's eggs are the bastards. Tell me, what are your plans?"

Dongming Ziyu threw the imperial edict on the table, "Of course we won't go back. Does he think he is the emperor? The jade seal on the edict is fake."

Shangguan Ruoli took the imperial edict and opened it, "I didn't see anything."

She had never seen what the jade seal looked like. She had received the imperial edict and had not looked at it carefully.

Dongming Ziyu pointed to the place covered with the jade seal and said: "In the time of Emperor Gaozu, the real jade seal was once missing a corner. Although it was repaired, there was a gap in the corner, which could still be seen when the jade seal was covered.

"

Shangguan Ruoli took a closer look and pointed to the two marks on the edge of the seal, "Isn't this the case?"

"Yes, but there are slight differences in shape and thickness." Dongming Ziyu took down a volume of imperial edict from the bookshelf and opened it for Shangguan Ruoli to compare.

In this comparison, Shangguan Ruoli really saw the subtle difference.

The jade seal is the emperor's personal seal. It seems that the emperor was on guard against Lao Shi Dongming Ziling and hid the jade seal.

Dongming Ziling couldn't find it, so he simply made a copy.

Mo Xiang stepped in in a hurry and reported with a solemn look: "Your Majesty, Princess, Nanyun Lengyue has about 10,000 soldiers coming towards Yuancheng! In addition, Zhao Pansheng also mobilized about 30,000 people and came towards Xuanzhou.

!”

Dongming Ziyu's eyes were slightly sharp, "Where is Nanyun Youhan?"

Mo Xiang said: "Nanyun Youhan did not move, but lent the road to Nanyun Lengyue, allowing Nanyun Lengyue's 10,000 horses to pass through Nanyun, and together with Zhao Pansheng, attack Yuancheng and Xuanzhou from both sides."

Yuancheng and Xiyun are separated by Nanyun. If Xiyun wants to attack Yuancheng, he must either enter Dongming from Miao territory, go around from Dongming territory, or cross Nanyun.

Either...

Shangguan Ruoli looked serious, "There is a third possibility, we must guard against it!"
