The palace was bustling with noise, and at midnight, Yifang could even feel the smell of blood brewing in the air of the imperial city.
Yi Fang, who had been tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, suddenly sat up straight and vigorously opened the tasseled bed cover, "Here comes someone."
Cui'er and several maids hurriedly walked in from the outside holding candles. Immediately, the originally dark room became as bright as day.
"Empress."
Yifang glanced at the slightly window, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He bent down to put on his shoes, and a palace maid came up to help in panic. Cui'er didn't know what Yifang wanted to do.
"Empress, what are you..."
"I can't sleep for a long night and want to go out for a walk."
"Empress, at this time..."
It was already midnight at this time, and the emperor had not returned to the palace yet because he had to deal with important matters. However, Eunuch Li came to convey the order, telling them to protect the empress tonight.
Cui'er is none other than someone who knows what major events happened in the palace today. She is a direct participant in today's events. She is also the one who deliberately delivers poison to Hua Piaoxue and Bi'er to create opportunities. So she knows very well that at this time,
With the blood types everywhere in the palace, countless people are bound to pay their lives in this palace battle. Although the emperor seems to be sure of victory, the empress is the emperor's only weakness. If there are still cronies of the prince lurking somewhere in the palace,
But something bad happened.
Cui'er tried her best to persuade Yifang not to go out, but she didn't expect that this time Yifang's attitude was extremely determined. He insisted on going to the Imperial Garden at this time, and even wanted to go to the Shouyan Hall on the side of the Empress Dowager.
, Tweetie doesn't know what her master wants to do, but she heard that after a woman becomes pregnant, her mood will be extremely unstable. Especially her master was greatly stimulated today, so Tweetie gave her a few words of advice.
I didn't see any results, so I stopped trying.
There were dozens of people, and a dozen palace maids in front were holding palace lanterns with glazed flowers in their hands, leading the way. Cui'er carefully supported Yi Fang and walked behind.
Cui Er originally wanted Yifang to drive her away in a sedan chair, but Yifang insisted on walking alone, so Cui Er had no choice but to obey.
The group of people left Longyang Palace and passed through the entrances of several palaces and gardens. They all received curious looks from the night-watch slaves.
Tonight is an unfair night. All the palace concubines did not dress up carefully and sit there all night long to see if they could wait for the news of the emperor's good fortune, as they did in the past.
The palace door was closed early, for fear that what happened in the East Palace would be contaminate to himself or his family, and at the same time, he was also afraid that civil strife in the palace would endanger his own safety.
Why is this Concubine Yi so different? She is obviously pregnant and cannot take any risks, yet she still wants to leave the palace at this time.
However, despite being curious, these people could only hold their breath and bow their bodies, watching Yifang and his group leave, not daring to pry in the slightest.
When they came around a small bridge with flowers, Yi Fang paused. She saw a palace on the other side of the bridge, brightly lit, as bright as day. There were also vague sounds of misery.
The screams were mixed with the sound of swords clashing. That palace was the East Palace.
Although this place is still far away from the East Palace, and Yi Fang is followed by countless masters, Cui'er and others are still very worried and keep urging Yi Fang to leave here as soon as possible.
Earlier, I heard that things were not going well today. The concubines in the East Palace were all captured without any effort, but the prince, surrounded by dead soldiers, broke through the siege. At this time, he did not know where he was, and the prince did not know either.
I don’t know how he got the news or how he escaped.
The emperor has decreed that the imperial city has been sealed and no one is allowed to enter or exit, so the prince should still be in the palace. If he is still somewhere in the east palace and wants to take the empress as a hostage, they and others will be responsible for their death.
.
Faced with everyone's worries, Yi Fang raised his eyebrows slightly, with an indifferent expression. He said nothing, swaying his skirt, and slowly walked towards the direction of Shouyan Hall. Seeing this, the people who followed him all had long hair.
He breathed out a sigh of relief.
When she was about to reach the entrance of Shouyan Hall, Yifang suddenly stopped moving. She looked at a pavilion on the roadside, and then at a coral stone rockery next to it. She held her hands on her waist, her eyes bright and clear. No one knew that she had stopped.
What to do, but as long as Yifang stays far away from the East Palace, they will have nothing to say. They just wait until Yifang is tired, and they, who are slaves, will serve him well and go back to rest.
Yifang stared at the rockery for a long time, then suddenly put his hands on his waist and said with a haggard look on his face: "I am a little tired and want to rest here for a while."
Cui'er heard that Yi Fang was tired, looked at the dark night sky and the silence around her, and thought for a long time: "Your Majesty, I have called a sedan chair to pick you up and take you back to the palace to rest. It's cold and windy outside, so don't hurt your Majesty.
Body bones.”
Yifang shook his head and didn't make much excuse. He just looked at the night sky with a sad and somewhat empty look. Cui'er saw this and knew that Yifang must still be a little sad about today's events.
After all, Bi'er is the person who has been trained by her side. In addition, the princess, although not her biological aunt, is from the Hua family. She is about to marry into the Dou family. She must be betrayed by two people with such close status.
My mood is really not much better.
What's more, even if Cui'er, the personal maid, doesn't know very clearly about the entanglement between Yi Fang and Xia Yunshen, she can still detect some hints of it. But for such a thing, let alone her being just a maid, even if she is herself
The master's biological mother, Mrs. Hua, is still alive and she doesn't dare to mention it easily.
So Cui'er understood Yifang's thoughts and silently stepped aside. Everyone followed Cui'er and waited beside her.
Unexpectedly, Yi Fang sat there and said, "You all should step back, I want to be alone for a while."
Cui'er was immediately shocked, "Mother, you have a dragon in your body right now, how can you be here alone?"
The leader of the secret guards who followed also hurriedly spoke, hoping to dispel Yifang's idea.
In the eyes of everyone, Yifang has always been an excellent master who can be considerate of his subordinates and will not make it difficult for his slaves. But this time, Yifang was uncharacteristic and insisted on sitting quietly at this unusual time.
After a while, her expression became more and more fierce. If she hadn't been able to suppress it forcibly, her eyes and tone would have made her want to directly drag out the person who violated her order and deal with it.
Cui'er looked at Yi Fang's determination and had some doubts in her heart, but she could only obey the order and led the people to retreat to the corner of the small garden.
The distance there is not very far, but because the corner pillars and large clumps of flowers and trees block people's sight, people can't see the Yifang side clearly, but if something happens, it can be guaranteed in a moment.
Just arrived.
In addition, the garden is small and square, with a wide view and few places to hide. The secret guards and imperial guards checked it out first, and then sent people to guard the exits in the four directions to ensure the secret.
It's airtight, so you don't have to worry about anyone breaking in.
After everyone left, Yifang looked at the rockery for a long time, and sighed quietly: "Come out."
What she received in response was a gentle breeze, without any movement. If Yifang hadn't been so familiar with the scent, he would have almost thought it was his own imagination.
But the night wind kept blowing, and the fragrance kept reaching her nose, so she knew that her guess had always been correct.
"Come out, Your Highness, I know you are here." Yifang called again, but there was still no reply and no one was seen.
Yi Fang stood up with a solemn face, and simply walked to the front of the rockery, only a small step away from him, and said with a mocking tone: "Xia Yunshen, I don't have time to play with you. You should know that you are now
In this situation, if I wanted to harm you, I would have just sent someone to come and get you. I am the only one at this time, so logically speaking, I should be more afraid of you."
This time, there was finally movement.
The coral rockery reflected a ray of light in the night sky, and a small door opened from the rockery. A man covered in black and stained with dust bent over from the rockery, with a strong blood type aura on his body.
He stood in front of Yi Fang. Even though his clothes were in tatters, he still had elegant features and elegant eyes. His natural noble aura made him no matter how downcast he looked, his temperament was definitely incomparable.
"Empress Yi Fei."
Yi Fang took a step back, smiled, saw the wound on Xia Yunshen's arm, frowned, lowered his voice and said: "My time is limited, the people outside are guarding there, I will bring them all later
Go to the Shouyan Hall, you find a way to follow us, I will let the secret guards focus all their attention on me, and wait until we get to the Shouyan Hall, I will find an opportunity to get rid of them, you follow me to the secret passage, and then
Leave the palace."
Xia Yunshen kept looking at Yifang intently. After listening to her saying so many words, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Why?"
Yi Fang frowned, she heard Xia Yunshen's question, but she didn't want to answer the question, especially at such a critical moment. So she turned her head away, pretending not to understand anything and said: "You can't leave these people for a while.
It’s too close, they are all masters among masters, and you are already injured, so they may not be able to notice that there is someone following you.”
Xia Yunshen refused to let her go, so he took a step forward and grabbed Yi Fang's wrist. With a hint of frenzy on his usually gentle face, he said in a deep voice: "Why!"
Yi Fang was forced to look into Xia Yunshen's eyes, their eyes facing each other, each holding back.
After a moment, Yifang said without hesitation: "You saved me several times, and I will save your life today. From now on, we will not owe each other anything. The day we meet again, we will be mortal enemies."
Xia Yun was stunned, with a storm in his eyes. He gradually tightened his grip on Yi Fang, but finally loosened it suddenly and pulled away.
He didn't know what to say.
I didn’t have time to update it yesterday, so I’ll update it early today.
