Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

The eunuch guarding the gate wanted to step forward to stop them, but his eyes shifted from Jing Li to Chen Duo and then to Qian Gang. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and in the end he closed his mouth and stood still.

His job today was not to argue with these people, but to guard the door.

Wang Xifeng walked quickly, but after turning the corner, she grabbed Qian Gang with a serious expression and asked him in a low voice: "Is there anyone we can trust to leave the palace?"

Qian Gang was confused: "Yes..."

At this moment, Chen Duo had completely understood what was going on. His expression was even more frightened than Wang Xifeng's. His face even turned pale. He whispered, "Liang Di is asking if there is a way to leave the palace without alerting the enemy!"

Don't alert the enemy?

What are you doing? You're scaring snakes...

Does it have anything to do with what happened just now?

After all, I have followed Zhou Dai for several years and have seen a lot of things, big and small.

Qian Gang suddenly reacted, his knees went weak and he almost collapsed!

It was Chunsheng who silently helped him up.

"Yes, yes! I have an acquaintance with whom I often go to the theater in private. He is a buyer and has to go in and out of the palace every day...

"He should be in the Shangshi Bureau right now, we can go there right away!" Qian Gang was a little stuttering at first, but he spoke more and more fluently and anxiously, "We can pretend to check the Shangshi Bureau's warehouse first!

"But you have to hurry! By this time, my brother should have settled the bill with the Imperial Food Bureau, received the order for tomorrow, and will be leaving the palace!"

Wang Xifeng said without hesitation: "Let's go!"

Jing Li glanced at the eunuch in his hands and asked Wang Xifeng in a low voice: "Then this person..."

"Take him to the Shangshi Bureau first. Knock him out, tie him up and throw him into the kitchen. He won't be able to run away." Wang Xifeng instantly made up her mind.

The group hurried to the Shangshi Bureau.

Two quarters of an hour later, the eunuch who was doing the shopping walked out of the palace with a badge on his waist, looking calm.

But today the palace gates were checked more strictly than usual. The city gate guards even checked his car inside and out. When they found that he had nothing smuggled, they looked at him in surprise and smiled:

"You're lucky, kid!"

Wave your hand to let him go.

When the eunuch left the palace, the carriage turned a corner at the end of the long street, where the guards at the gate of Daming Palace could no longer see him, and the eunuch jumped off the carriage.

In a few seconds, he unloaded the cart and abandoned it on the spot. He jumped on his horse, completely ignoring the crowds of people on the street, whipped the horse's buttocks, and galloped away!

In the Daming Palace, Wang Xifeng arranged for everyone to pretend to check the warehouse, especially Chen Duo, who stood with Jing Li in the dry goods room of the warehouse, pointing and whispering.

However, Wang Xifeng herself, led by Qian Gang, quietly slipped out from the side door of the Shangshi Bureau!

"Liang Di, do we really have to go to the Purple Palace? The Emperor and Grandpa Dai are not here, what's the point of us going there?" Qian Gang didn't dare to go over there.

"The Emperor and Prime Minister Dai may not be absent. But the situation in the palace is unknown, and I dare not make a loud noise. So I had to sneak in.

"If they are really gone, Qian Gang," Wang Xifeng looked at him with pity, "your master's fate will be in jeopardy."

Qian Gang's eyes suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "I'll take you there! For some reason, there are fewer guards today than usual, and I don't see many familiar faces.

"When they change shifts later, I know how to avoid them!"

Wang Xifeng narrowed her eyes: "You know?"

"My master told me." Qian Gang whispered, leading Wang Xifeng and walking quickly, "My master said that when he was young, his three uncles bullied him and always made him stand guard at night.

"My servant Master had a broken leg when he was young, and although it healed later, it still hurts a lot when it's cloudy or rainy.

"Later, he figured it out. When the guards were changing shifts, he was able to slip back to apply the medicine, then slip back to continue his night duty. No one ever found him."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Your disciples are so thoughtful and considerate in serving His Majesty, huh?!"

Qian Gang smiled and said, "In fact, both His Majesty and Grandpa Dai knew about it. I, the servant master, just didn't want to let the world know, so I went in and out quietly."

Without further ado, Wang Xifeng followed Qian Gang to a corner at the back of the Purple Palace, hid in the shadow of the pillars, and waited for the guards to take over their shifts.

But they waited for half an hour and the guards remained fixed on their posts without moving a single bit!

"If they really don't move, that's fine, I can slip in." Wang Xifeng frowned, "But if they move while I'm walking in, I'll be caught red-handed!"

Qian Gang was already sweating with anxiety. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "How about I go around to the front and make some noise to attract the attention of those people?"

Wang Xifeng shook her head and rejected the proposal without even thinking: "If there is nothing going on in the palace, and you are making noise outside the Purple Palace for no reason, the guards can kill you first and then discuss other matters.

"If something happens in the palace, and you show up again, they will only realize that I am the one behind it. Not only will your life be in jeopardy, but I will also be discovered."

After thinking for a while, Wang Xifeng ordered him, "You don't have to stay here. Go to Zhaoyang Palace and check on the Queen's condition. If she faints again, tell her that I sent you to pay my respects. Then leave quickly."

"If the Queen is awake, tell her that Zheng Fan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is causing chaos. Please take the Queen's golden seal to mobilize troops, surround the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and capture Zheng Fan, Wei Nan, and Wu Wei!"

Qian Gang said with a bitter face: "How can the Queen believe me if it's just empty talk?"

Wang Xifeng chuckled: "It doesn't matter, as long as the Queen is awake, you can tell her that I asked you to go for help, she will definitely believe you!"

Qian Gang was stunned.

Wang Xifeng patted his shoulder and said, "Avoid people, especially Madam Hai who is beside the Queen."

Qian Gang's face turned even more bitter: "Madame Hai is the Queen's confidant and is inseparable from her. How can I avoid her?!"

"If this matter is handled well, you will be credited with the greatest achievement. If it is not handled well, you and I will both die, as well as your master. So, you think of a solution!" Wang Xifeng smiled.

Qian Gang shuddered, but he gritted his teeth in the end, straightened his shoulders that had shrunk due to fear, and said with a fist: "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

He ran away with his back hunched.

Wang Xifeng watched him run away, then she raised her head slightly, closed her eyes, and whispered softly: "Ahem!"

The voice spread.

The guards at the gate were startled and looked at each other: "What's that noise?!"

The faces of several people turned gloomy. Four people were left at the main gate, and the rest formed pairs and began to patrol around the Zichen Hall.

After this sound, a window of the Zichen Palace that had not been closed tightly was pushed open by a furry white kitten's paw, and Su Yu jumped out lightly and nimbly from inside!

The patrolling guards were startled!

When they were about to catch it, Su Yu dodged it with three jumps and two dodges. They chased it for two steps before the leader shouted, "It's just a vicious animal, let it go!"

In the shadows, Wang Xifeng hugged Suyu who jumped into her arms, smiling: "My little insider, I have been raising you for a thousand days, and now I can finally use you!"
