Ling Jing looked at the princess with a strange look on his face and said, "Princess, are we developing too fast?"
Princess Jingchu was startled when she heard this, then her pretty face turned red and she said angrily: "What are you thinking? You, I want you to stay with me so that you can be prepared to respond to the changes in the capital at any time. Do you think I want to be with you?"
.....and you......"
Having said this, I felt a little embarrassed to speak.
Ling Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Can you finish what you're saying at once? It's easy for people to misunderstand you."
Princess Jingchu pouted and thought, I am not angry with you.
But when it came to business, the two of them had no time to continue bickering. Ling Jing frowned and said, "Has Han Yu made any noise recently? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so anxious to call me into the palace."
The princess nodded, her eyebrows seemed to be rippled, and she said worriedly: "We never found that batch of goods last time, and now that so many days have passed, I'm afraid Han Yu has already made arrangements."
Ling Jing tapped the table next to him with one hand and muttered: "Then what are your plans?"
The princess glanced at him, sighed quietly, and said: "My father has not had any suspicion of Han Yu yet, nor has he taken any precautions against him, and the two masters in the inner palace obviously will not listen to my orders. I am now
The only people who can use it are you and the masters from Dongchang."
Ling Jing raised his eyebrows and was a little dissatisfied with the princess's statement. What do you mean by someone who can be used? But at the moment, he didn't care about it so much and said: "Then we are very passive now, we can only wait for Han Yu blindly."
He launched a conspiracy, but there was no way to stop him."
"That's all we can do." The worry on the princess's face couldn't go away, and there was a faint feeling of palpitations in her heart. She seemed to have a premonition that big changes would occur in the capital in the near future.
But what Ling Jing was thinking about was not only the royal family and Han Yu, but how to preserve himself and the people in the Huai'an Prince's Palace in this great change. This was the most important thing.
"Princess, I can promise you this, but please send someone to bring Lianyi into the palace. I'm afraid that the Ming Church will send someone to do her harm."
The princess smiled slightly and said: "I have already sent someone to handle this matter. I know you feel sorry for that girl and want you to stay in the palace obediently. How can you forget Lian Yi."
Ling Jing did not comment, then discussed with the princess for a while, got up and rushed to Huai'an Prince's Mansion.
For five consecutive days, the capital remained as calm as ever, but beneath this strange calm, there seemed to be an invisible whirlpool brewing. Once this vortex broke out, it would surely turn the capital upside down.
Ling Jing had already informed the people in the palace and told them to be careful, but with Zhu Junmi, a master, protecting him, he could finally feel more at ease.
As for Tang Hao and Li Qing, because the attitude of their fathers in their families is still a bit unclear, he can't say what it will be like in the end.
On this day, Ling Jing, Princess Jing Chu, and Lian Yi were drinking tea in the Baihua Garden, but the princess looked very absent-minded.
"Princess, your tea is already cold." Lian Yi and the princess have been friends for many years. Seeing her in a daze while fiddled with the tea in the cup with the teapot lid, Lian Yi couldn't help but remind her with a smile.
"Oh...what?" The princess seemed not to hear what Lian Yi said and was stunned for a moment before asking.
Lian Yi covered her mouth with a smile and pointed at her tea cup.
Ling Jing listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Princess, you have been worried and distracted these past two days, so don't worry yourself too much."
The princess rolled her eyes at him and said fiercely: "I want you to take care of me, you big bad guy. Now that Lian Yi is here, do you still dare to bully me?"
Ling Jing smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and said, "Of course I don't dare."
Lian Yi chuckled, and the princess's face seemed a little happier, looking at Ling Jing arrogantly.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the palace, and then the whole courtyard seemed to shake. The teacup in front of the princess trembled rapidly, and then fell to the ground with a snap.
"What's going on?"
The expressions of the three of them changed drastically, and the tremors were so violent that they were comparable to an earthquake.
In just a moment, the entire Baihua Garden seemed to be in chaos. The maids and eunuchs were running around in panic, not knowing what was happening.
"Oops." The princess seemed to suddenly think of something, her face became extremely pale, and she said urgently: "Boy Ling, come with me quickly, let's go to Fengtian Palace."
"Fengtian Hall? Isn't that the place where the emperor goes to court?" Ling Jing paused and looked at the princess in confusion.
"Don't ask so many questions, come with me quickly." The princess pulled him and walked outside, not caring that Lianyi was beside her at this moment. The three of them walked through the Baihua Garden and saw the maids running around on the road.
He walked away, looking panicked. Outside the palace gate, there seemed to be the sound of columns of troops advancing, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
"Princess, there is a large army outside that has surrounded the entire Baihua Garden. You should run away quickly." A eunuch on the road reported to the three of them in panic, and then ran away to another place.
The princess trembled twice and almost fell down. Ling Jing and Lianyi quickly supported her.
"Princess, don't worry. Let's go see how your father is doing. As long as the emperor is still here, Han Yu may not be able to accomplish anything." Ling Jing said in a deep voice.
Lian Yi also said comfortingly: "Princess, you must not mess up your position now. With the young master here, you will be fine."
At this moment, a large number of soldiers wearing shawls and armor suddenly poured in from outside the door. They held crossbows in their hands. As soon as they came in, they formed a formation and shot at the three of them.
"Go quickly!"
Ling Jing unsheathed his sword and turned into several circles of light in front of him, scattering the incoming arrows. Then he protected the princess and Lianyi and jumped up to the roof, quickly running towards the depths of the palace.
Just as the three of them escaped, a general wearing a silver helmet walked into Baihua Garden.
"Did they run away?" After the general came in, he said solemnly, his voice cold and with a chilling air.
"General, my subordinates are incompetent." A person next to him reported back.
The general shook his head slightly, looked at the direction in which the three people were escaping, and said calmly: "These three people are extremely skilled in martial arts, and I can't blame you. However, these martial arts masters always like to do evil and go against the imperial court. Let them die this time."
It’s clean now.”
...
Ling Jing, Princess Lianyi and Lian Yi ran towards the Fengtian Palace. During this period, they saw soldiers all over the palace, guarding all the places in the palace tightly. The deeper they ran, the denser the troops inside were.
.
"I didn't expect that Han Yu secretly controlled the imperial army of the capital." Princess Jingchu looked extremely pale. The closer she got to Fengtian Palace, the more frightened she became. She didn't know what happened to her father.
"Princess, don't worry too much. The emperor is protected by two seniors from the inner palace, so nothing will happen to him." Lian Yi held her cold hand and comforted her softly.
"I hope so." The princess said in a daze, her palms covered with cold sweat.
The three of them were very skilled in qinggong, and soon arrived at the place outside Fengtian Temple. Standing in a hidden corner, they saw that the entire city wall outside Fengtian Temple collapsed, revealing a large section of incomplete space, and a crowd surrounded the outside.
Layers upon layers of troops surrounded the entire gap.
As for the situation inside, the three of them could not see clearly, but they also knew that the emperor must be trapped in the inner city.
"Ling Jing, you must save my father." Princess Jingzhen begged Ling Jing with her pear blossoms in the rain, her heart in confusion.
Lian Yi looked at Ling Jing with a worried look on her face. At this time, no matter how skilled the martial arts person was, how could he break through the layers of the army? Naturally, she didn't want Ling Jing to put himself in danger.
"Princess, there are at least tens of thousands of troops outside Fengtian Palace now. No matter how powerful the young master is, he can't break in." Lian Yi said with a frown.
Princess Jingchen looked at Ling Jing intently, then at the soldiers on the third and third floors outside Fengtian Hall, then she broke free from Lian Yi's hand and said: "You guys should run away quickly. It seems that Han Yu is
It is inevitable that he will win. He first blew open the city gate outside Fengtian Palace, and then led troops to surround him. He must be forcing my father to abdicate. Don't waste your lives in vain."
After saying that, he walked alone towards the direction of Fengtian Temple.
"Are you crazy?" Ling Jing grabbed the princess's arm, pulled her back, and said coldly: "Do you know that you are dying in vain?"
Two lines of clear tears fell on the princess's face and she said: "Then what can I do? My father is still inside, should I just live in an ignoble existence and not save him until he dies?"
Ling Jing's thoughts turned quickly. If he watched the princess go to die, he thought he would not be able to do it. But if he went in, there was no guarantee that he would be able to break through the siege.
"Don't worry, I never said I wouldn't save your father." Ling Jing frowned.
"Young Master..." Lian Yi became anxious when she heard this. Although she and the princess were good friends, it didn't mean that she could watch her own young master take risks for her.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything overestimate my capabilities." Ling Jing put his arms around Lianyi's waist, let her lean into his arms, and comforted her softly.
Princess Jingchu looked at the two of them with a complicated expression, wondering if she was too selfish. Why on earth did she ask him to help her? Moreover, the situation was critical now. Even if he was there, could he be guaranteed to survive?
"Go away, I don't want you to help me!" Princess Jingzhu said coldly with a heartache, and shook off Ling Jing's palm.
Ling Jing frowned and looked at the princess.
"I won't watch you die!"
Princess Jingchu felt a slight sting in her heart and struggled: "What does it have to do with you whether I live or die? You take Lianyi and leave quickly, I don't want you to stay here."
Ling Jing smiled slightly, then moved his hand and hit the princess's acupuncture point with a finger.
"Don't bargain with me, you know I'm a very domineering person."
Princess Jingchu's acupuncture points were restrained and she couldn't move immediately. She could only look at Ling Jing blankly, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Lianyi, help me take care of her. I'll go meet Han Yu for a while." Ling Jing retreated the princess into Lianyi's arms and said with a chuckle.
