Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"The Royal Guards outside have just handed over their shift. The next batch will not arrive for an hour, and we don't need to 'go out'." Ying Yi pulled Xu Yixing all the way to the small garden behind the garden. Wherever they went, they saw people lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

"Are they alive?"

"They are all alive. The poison used by Ying Si this time is not fatal." Ying Yi pushed her towards the rockery behind the small garden. He pressed his hands somewhere and immediately a stone wall opened. It turned out to be a secret passage.

"Yingyi, wait a moment. I don't know what Yingwu said to you, but I don't want to leave now, and I can't leave." Xu Yixing stood in the leeward side of the rockery, shouting at the top of his voice for fear that Yingyi couldn't hear clearly.

Ying Yi covered his face, but his eyes revealed a trace of pity. "Master, Ying Wu has conveyed your meaning, but now something has happened. The emperor was killed in the grassland. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you will be the first to bear the brunt." Ying Yi said, looking at the baby in Xu Yixing's arms, who started crying because of the wind and the bumps.

"What do you mean?" Xu Yixing was confused. What murder? Who was murdered? Where did this news come from? However, Xiaobao's crying quickly brought her back to her senses. She wrapped her cloak tightly to cover Xiaobao, thought for a moment, and immediately gritted her teeth and went into the secret passage.

If what Ying Yi said was true, then if he didn't leave, he would definitely be killed. The queen suddenly appeared in Miaozhou and gave birth to a prince. Was she going to hand over Daxia to the little baby? Those princes would eat them alive if they got the news! If the news was wrong, at worst, he could come back and give Lu Anyuan an explanation later. It was much better to explain to him than to confront those princes.

The secret passage was long and winding, but after entering, the wind was much quieter, and Xiaobao's crying was not as severe. Xu Yixing followed Shangyingyi with gritted teeth, and he was in a very bad state now. However, no matter how bad it was, it was not as serious as when he was trapped in the bandit's nest. It was the road he chose, so there was nothing to complain about.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally emerged from a dirt hole. A snowstorm had arrived, and Xu Yixing was almost unable to open his eyes because of the wind. Fortunately, there was a carriage waiting for him nearby, so he quickly got in and closed the doors and windows, and then he felt his body warm up.

"Ying Si? It's you. You are waiting for me here." There was a "child" sitting on the side seat of the car. It was Ying Si who had not been seen for many days.

"I heard that the master gave birth to a little master. Yingyi was worried and asked me to follow the car." Yingsi muttered silently for a few times. Xu Yixing reached out and handed Xiaobao to him. She was also very worried after being trapped in the secret passage for so long.

Ying Si held the child and looked at him left and right, turning him over and over, then took out a handkerchief and was about to cover the child. How could Xu Yixing have ever seen such a scene?

"what are you doing!"

"This child won't stop crying. We still have a long way to go today. It would be better for him to sleep so that he can suffer less."

"No." Xu Yixing took the child. She knew that what Ying Si said made sense, but she was afraid that it would harm the body of such a young child. She absolutely refused to do so. So she held the child in her arms and gently patted him, without any impatience.

Ying Si saw this and felt a surge of envy in his heart. If his family had not ignored him and neglected him because of his illness, perhaps he would be like a normal person now?

Shaking his head vigorously to drive away the thoughts in his mind, Ying Si said in a low voice: "Master, the young master is in good health, you can rest assured."

Xu Yixing looked out the window. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. He didn't know where he and his men were going. "What happened? Why did they say the emperor was murdered? And why are you here?"

Ying Si knew she would definitely ask, so he cut to the chase. It turned out that they had received their respective orders and dispersed to complete their tasks, but not long after, they suddenly saw the seal code. At that time, the previous emperor had passed away, and he knew that this matter was related to his master. He thought that something had happened, so he hid according to the seal requirements, and hid for more than half a year.

It was not until about a month ago that he saw the secret code of his own shadow guard. Then he packed up everything and headed for Miaozhou. When he got here, he met Shadow Five and Shadow One one after another. Only then did he realize that his master had abandoned them and fled for most of the past half year. Now he was found and imprisoned by the emperor, so he tried every means to get close to him.

However, earlier today, bad news suddenly came from the grassland. The emperor went deep into the grassland to look for the location of the royal court, but not only did he not find it, he was ambushed by the Hu people and died in front of the army. So he decided to break into Baiyuan and take his master away.

"Do you still remember Yingba? He was ordered to find a suitable weapon for his master. He heard that there was a Eagle-flying Wolf-head Knife that was once used by the Khan in the grassland, so he followed the caravan into the grassland to gather information. He has been in the grassland for five months, and it was he who brought back the news of the emperor's assassination."

Xu Yixing's face looked a little unnatural. He had just casually said the words about looking for weapons, and his original intention was just to hope that people would go far away and look around. He didn't expect Yingba to be so concerned that he would actually lurk in the grassland for such a long time just for a knife.

"But, but is this information accurate?" Even if Yingba was hiding in the grassland, it couldn't be that he "happened" to see Lu Anyuan lost and "happened" to see him being killed? If so, he could have warned him and saved his life. Besides, there were so many soldiers and horses on the expedition. As long as Lu Anyuan didn't go to investigate alone in a fit of rage, how could he be injured by chance?

Ying Si heard her confusion and patiently explained, "It's not a coincidence, it's because Ying Ba is hiding in the royal court."

"What?" Xu Yixing was shocked. His people were hiding in the royal court? If he had known they were so capable, he should have let them kill the Khan directly and provoke internal strife among the Hu people. Why would he send troops?

"That knife was used by the Khan, so it is naturally in the royal court. The caravan that Yingba followed was formed by the former Arabs who traveled back and forth between the grasslands and the Central Plains. Unlike our Daxia caravan, the royal court has no hostility towards them and always invites them to stay around the royal court so that they can trade goods."

"I see." Yingba is a man of brute strength, which should be more in line with the views of those barbarians. No wonder he has been able to stay for so long.

"The royal court began to migrate in August. Yingba managed not to follow the Arabs back, but stayed in the royal court. It was inconvenient for us to communicate with each other, and we were only connected today. I didn't expect that the first news he sent back was that the emperor was dead."

"What were the original words?" Xiaobao was probably tired of crying and fell asleep peacefully. Xu Yixing stopped comforting him and was worried.
