After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

"The imperial city has been locked. No one is allowed to enter or leave," said the general guarding the palace gate.

He was arrogant and didn't care that he was facing a high-ranking official in the imperial court.

Song Nihuan poked her face out of the carriage and said, "It's me."

She had just left from Shunzhen Gate today. Before that, she often went in and out of the palace gate to travel between the orphanage and the Song family. Most of the generals guarding the gate knew her.

"Madam Mingde?" the general asked in surprise, then he remembered that she had gone out today and had not come back yet. Now that she is back... should he let her go or not?

We don’t know how chaotic the palace is.

"Let me in. I have a close relationship with the emperor. If the emperor were here, he would ask you to open the door and let me in." Song Nihuan said.

Her voice and tone were so firm.

Seeing that Xie Yunji was also going in, the general hesitated for a while, but finally opened the door.

I think a civil servant can't cause any trouble. A prosperous era depends on civil servants. Civil servants will avoid palace coups like the current one.

All the civil officials who went to court this morning were locked up, but this man was determined to go in, so he kindly reminded him, "Thank you, sir. Once you go in, it will be difficult to get out."

Xie Yunji nodded and told the driver, "Tell father to lock the door and not to worry too much."

The driver received the order and ran towards Xie's house.

The palace gate opened.

Xie Yunji drove the carriage and took Song Nihuan to the palace.

The general guarding the gate looked at their backs and muttered, "All the cabinet elders have been locked up, and this one is the only one left outside. He even took the initiative to go in. What a shame..."

"It happened suddenly. I didn't change the carriage and couldn't avoid you. I'm sorry." Xie Yunji's voice came from outside the carriage, "I will explain it to His Majesty when I see him."

His voice was clear and deep, and he remained calm at this moment. Song Nihuan was infected by him and also calmed down and said, "It's okay."

She just wanted to see Xie Tan as soon as possible and find out who was forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Can Xie Tan suppress this storm...

Walking in the familiar corridor, it is not as orderly as before, but instead has a eerie feeling.

Suddenly, I heard a "whoosh" sound. It was the sound of an arrow!

There was a captivating gleam in Xie Yunji's eyes, and before Song Nihuan could react, he pulled her out of the carriage.

As soon as they landed, the carriage broke into pieces, and manuscripts were scattered all over the ground in the dust.

A few pages fell at her feet. She looked at the rice paper with flowers painted with gold threads. The brush strokes were smooth and flowing, the characters were natural and beautiful, and the running script was subtle and sharp.

It was written in Xie Yunji's handwriting, and the first chapter clearly read "Strategies for Commanding the Army".

However, at this moment, he ignored the hard work he had put in writing after many late nights, and instead held Song Nihuan's shoulders, looked at her carefully, and whispered, "Are you hurt?"

"No." She said, looking at the archers on the wall as if she was frightened, and said, "Who are they..."

Xie Yunji then stood up, his brows stern, and said coldly to a certain place in the air: "I am Xie Yunji, the second assistant of the cabinet and the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace. What do you want to do by shooting such a cold arrow in the inner palace?"

In fact, he was not afraid. No matter who rebelled or who eventually ascended to the throne, the civil servants would remain standing, especially those like him who did not take sides.

The traitor should even be concerned about his identity.

After all, the pen of history is as sharp as a knife. What verdict each emperor gets in history, what reputation he leaves behind, and what posthumous title he gets are all written by influential civil servants.

Facing the cold arrows shot by the archers on the high palace walls of the corridor, Xie Yunji's eyes were like cold stars, and he showed no fear at all. He blocked Song Nihuan behind him.

"No matter who you are, anyone who goes to Yuji Palace will be killed without mercy!" the man said coldly.

But seeing this person introduce himself as someone from the cabinet, I thought that the cabinet elders who were locked up were all stubborn and didn't write a single word of the imperial edict. If this person could go...

"Who do you say you are?" asked the man on the wall.

"The Second Minister of the Cabinet, Xie Yunji." he said.

"Okay, go ahead." After a moment's hesitation, a voice came from the top of the wall, "As for the woman next to you... shoot!"

A cold arrow came flying through the air from behind her with a whoosh.

Song Nihuan didn't even see what happened, she just felt a tightening around her waist, and Xie Yunji actually turned her from his back into his arms. However, the direction of the arrow was too sudden, so he had to reach out and catch the arrow.

The cold arrow instantly pierced his palm.

Bright red blood oozed out and dripped at her feet.

She looked up at him in shock. His expression remained unchanged. He pulled out the arrow with his other hand, crushed it and threw it on the ground.

"You are so brave! If you hurt her, none of you will be able to leave this imperial city!" Xie Yunji's eyes were hard and his voice was harsh. He looked extremely cruel and furious.

The murderous intent was so overwhelming that she had never seen anything like it before.

But, but he is a civil servant. Although he is a child of a noble family and practices swordsmanship, it is only for the purpose of strengthening his body. How can he compare with these desperate criminals?

But Xie Yunji didn't know that she misunderstood him.

"I'm fine, don't be so stubborn." Her voice was trembling, and she gently pulled his sleeve, "What if they really kill you..."

He squeezed her hand and whispered, "Don't worry."

She tore off a strip of cloth from her dress and hastily bandaged his injured palm.

A delicate touch came from the palm of his hand, and ripples appeared in Xie Yunji's heart.

He lowered his eyes and looked at her infatuatedly.

"Do you fucking want to die?" the man on the wall shouted.

Xie Yunji sneered contemptuously and even made a gesture of invitation to the person on the wall.

Song Nihuan looked at him in astonishment. Xie Yunji's temper was really... How could he be such a person! ?

She didn't know what Xie Yunji was thinking. Since they let him in, it meant that his colleagues in the cabinet had unified their thoughts and actions and would not write edicts for the usurper.

The emperor's personal guards were already controlling the area outside the imperial city, but they did not dare to rush into the imperial city to rescue him. The rebels in the imperial city were so disorderly, which meant that they had not found the emperor.

The two sides are in a stalemate.

No matter who becomes emperor, he cannot write the edict to establish himself as emperor. He has to rely on civil officials to affirm and flatter him.

He is the only one in the cabinet who has not been controlled yet.

He was right that the fool who wanted to seize the throne was waiting for him.

"So what do you want? Who is this woman?" the man on the wall shouted, "Is she the emperor's favorite concubine, the future queen?"

Song Nihuan's hair stood up in an instant. She knew that if she fell into these people's hands at this moment, she might as well die immediately.

Suddenly, her hand fell into a warm palm.

The blood flowing from that palm dyed his white clothes red, but he was completely unaware.
