"That's right." Yinzhen nodded and ordered Sixi to call Hongshi. As soon as he said this, Nala was secretly anxious. She had already learned about everything here from Xiao Ningzi, but Hongshi kept saying it.
He never showed up, which made her very uneasy. If Sixi didn't find Hongshi in Kunning Palace, Yinzhen would definitely become suspicious. But where is Hongshi now and whether he has left Yikun Palace.
In fact, Hongshi never left, just hid behind everyone. Because he was dressed in guard uniform, others just thought he was the imperial guard who came with Yinzhen, and no one raised any suspicion.
After killing the Xu family, he went to see the Xu family. Before coming, the Nala family had told him that the Xu family was on their side, and they could use her confession at the critical moment to make Jiang Yue take the blame.
Although Xu didn't want to get involved in this troubled water, she had no choice but to obey her. Because she had secret contacts with Nala, once the latter fell, she would not have a good life. Of course, she would not have a good life.
, this is not the only reason, Nala promised to her that as long as she is willing to do this, he will help her get rid of her status as an official woman and become a palace concubine again, and it will no longer be the lowest promise.
After explaining the Xu family, Hongshi sealed all the doors and windows before anyone came over, turning it into a secret room that no one could leave; and asked Jiang Yue to lie on the dead Xu family, covered in Xu's blood.
, at this time, he had already felt that Jiang Yue was about to wake up. After doing this, the people who had originally chased him back had already turned back. When they realized that something was wrong, they wanted to open the door and come in to take a look, but due to the obstruction of things and Hongshi, he secretly pushed back.
After being blocked and unable to enter, Guarjia and Yinzhen arrived one after another. After hearing Yinzhen's voice and the obviously increased force outside the door, Hongshi stopped blocking and even secretly pushed the cabinet aside.
, so that the guards could push the door open. At the same time, he flicked the bead he had been holding on Jiang Yue hard on Jiang Yue, prompting him to wake up.
It has to be said that Hongshi grasped the timing very well. When a group of guards rushed in, Jiang Yue woke up just in time, and he hid behind the door to avoid everyone's eyes. Then he took advantage of everyone to be seen.
Shocked by the scene, he quietly blended in with the guards, followed them to the outside of the main hall, and waited for an opportunity to leave.
He heard what Yinzhen and others said, and knew that if he didn't leave, he would be in serious trouble, so even though it was not the most appropriate time, he still had to try to leave here.
Hongshi moved out at a speed that was as unobtrusive as possible, but he was spotted by the guard beside him after he had left a short distance, and whispered: "Where are you going?"
Hongshi whispered: "I'm a little anxious and want to go for a while." Before the man could speak, he added: "I really can't bear it any longer. I'll be back soon. Don't tell the commander."
Seeing how pitiful he said, the man didn't feel too embarrassed and said: "Okay, okay, go back quickly, don't take too long."
Hongshi nodded repeatedly and moved towards the palace gate. Ling Ruo, who was sitting in the palace, vaguely saw a figure flashing outside and asked doubtfully: "Who is there at the palace gate?"
Nala was secretly frightened, and after guessing something, she took a pretentious glance and said, "There is no figure there. I think Concubine Xi stayed up all night and was dazzled by what she saw." Before Ling Ruo could say anything, she added:
"Xiao Ningzi, go outside and take a look."
Before Xiao Ningzi agreed, Ling Ruoyi said: "Yang Hai, you and Xiao Ningzi go out and take a look. Although there are so many guards outside, there won't be any problem, but you still have to be more careful."
"Hey!" Yang Hai agreed, and walked out of the hall with Xiao Ningzi towards the entrance of the palace. Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Ningzi kept looking around. He knew Nala's thoughts best, and he also knew Hongshi's thoughts.
Since he entered Yikun Palace dressed as a guard, he has not appeared again. It is very likely that he is still in Yikun Palace. When he was about to reach the palace gate, Xiao Ningzi found an extremely hidden figure.
Hidden in the shadows, you can't find it unless you look carefully.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, it was most likely Hongshi. We had to find a way to get him to leave quickly. Thinking of this, Xiao Ningzi pulled Yang Hai's arm and said, "Okay, I've seen it all, where is it?"
Someone, please go back."
Yang Hai has always been very wary of Xiao Ningzi. Now that he heard what he said, he couldn't believe it. He shook off his hand and said, "What are you doing in such a hurry? I haven't even looked carefully yet."
"There is only such a small place, it is unobstructed, you can see it at a glance, how can you be more careful." Of course Xiao Ningzi knew that he could not persuade Yang Hai, so he kept blocking Yang Hai when he spoke.
His gaze, hands behind his back, kept swaying in the direction he just saw.
The person hiding in the dark was Hongshi. When he found something moving in the palace, he immediately found a hidden place to hide. Fortunately, at dawn, it was the darkest time, so he couldn't see clearly with only the lights.
Otherwise, there would be no place for him to hide.
Hongshi noticed Xiao Ningzi's gesture towards him, and knowingly used his body to block him, moving towards the palace gate again. During this process, Xiao Ningzi kept holding on to Yang Hai, making the latter quite uncomfortable.
Because he was upset, "If you don't want to go over, just stay here, but don't block me." When he said this, he suddenly saw a figure flashing behind Xiao Ningzi, and immediately became alert, ignoring Xiao Ningzi's words.
Pushing him away with all his strength, he chased after the figure, but when he got behind the palace gate, he found that there was nothing there, not to mention the figure of a human being, not even the shadow of a cat.
Damn it, that person just now must be the real killer of Xu Guiren. Xiao Ningzi must have let that person go on purpose. Thinking of this, he glared at Xiao Ningzi and said coldly: "I hope you are here before the emperor."
I can explain it in front of you."
After that, he quickly returned to the palace and said: "Your Majesty, Master, I did see a figure outside just now, but because Eunuch Ning deliberately blocked my way, I was unable to catch up with that figure."
Yinzhen glanced sideways, staring at Xiao Ningzi who walked in with Yang Hai and said: "This is happening, Xiao Ningzi, why are you blocking Yang Hai?"
Xiao Ningzi knelt down and cried out: "If you go back to the emperor, I am wronged. There is no suspicious figure at all outside. It was Eunuch Yang who was blinded by his own eyes, and it all fell on me. Besides, there are so many imperial guards outside the palace.
If there is someone, how could he not be found?"
Hearing this, Yinzhen couldn't make a good judgment for a moment. After thinking about it, he ordered the guard commander to go out and ask the guards outside if they had found anything.
The leader of the guards went out and asked around, and then came back and said: "When I returned to the emperor, I didn't find anyone suspicious, but it was a guard who went out due to internal emergency. Maybe the figure that Eunuch Yang saw was him."
