Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!

As night fell, the sky condensed into a vast dark blue. From a distance, the ten-mile-long street outside the palace was lit up like a sea, and the prosperity was still there. The fire in Dongchang and Fusi in Nanzhen has been extinguished, but the gunpowder smoke has not yet dissipated. The air is mixed with an unpleasant smell of burnt earth, showing an unclear atmosphere.

The silence in the deep palace is like stagnant water, like the silence before a storm.

At this moment, a horse galloped in, and the sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the night. The guard guarding the gate stood in front of the horse and shouted: "Who is going to the palace gate at night?"

The horseshoe slammed, and there was a rustling sound. The girl in red on horseback raised a pale face, revealing the gold medal at her waist and said: "It's my palace."

"Queen empress?" Liang Yourong was covered in blood and was seriously injured. The guards held a torch and looked at her for a long time before recognizing her. He suddenly said in amazement, "How did you get hurt like this? Hurry up and declare a doctor!"

"No, let me go in the palace." Liang Yourong's hand holding the reins was red with cold, and the blood was condensed into red icy slag, and he said weakly, "What happened to your majesty?"

The head of the guard replied: "His Majesty was assassinated today, and he is recuperating in the Hall of Nourishment."

A strange color flashed in Liang Yourong's eyes and warned: "Listen, I don't think I have seen my palace tonight, don't say anything!"

After that, she spurred her horse, galloped all the way into the palace, and ran toward the Hall of Yangxin by copying the trail in the dark.

At the same time, somewhere outside the palace wall, Shen Xuan was also riding a ride with Xiao Changning, rushing to the only Beizhen Fusi that was not involved in the civil strife.

The night wind was bitter, and the white breath that he exhaled was condensed into mist and frost.

Xiao Changning was riding on a horse, leaning in Shen Xuan's arms, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank you. If you didn't force the palace to practice self-defense and horse-riding techniques, I might Long gone."

Shen Xuan stretched out a hand from her waist to grasp the reins, and said in a low voice: "The minister is hopeful. Your Royal Highness will never use them the day."

"No matter what, I still want to thank you for your foresight. I hope that after dawn, it will be a prosperous and peaceful day."

The horse's back was bumpy, and Xiao Changning's breath was a bit unstable. After a pause, she looked back at Shen Xuan's stern face and asked: "Where are you going after sending me to Beizhen Fusi?"

"The beasts bite each other, and the civil strife will only end if one of them dies." Shen Xuan's slightly heavy breath sprayed on the side of Xiao Chang Ningmin's ears, causing a slight itchy throb. He said, "I have to go back and continue to fight side by side with the East Factory."

Xiao Changning was surprised, "You came here alone, I thought Huo Jie had been dealt with by you."

Shen Xu laughed: "Three thousand Jinyiwei, how can we solve it so quickly? Just knowing that His Royal Highness has been kidnapped by Yu Yunqing and the Queen, the minister can't rest assured, let Jiang She and Fang Wujing contain the main force of Huo Wei for the time being, so that the minister can have Opportunity to find you."

"You went to the meeting alone, and came alone?"

"Come alone."

"It's too dangerous!" Xiao Changning's slightly lowered heart was picked up again, and his voice trembled, "Yu Yunqing's Nanzhen Fusi Li has 300 people in ambush!"

Shen Xuan had no fear, her eyes lit up terribly in the darkness, and said, "Now there are three hundred corpses. What's so terrible? There are far more than three hundred people who have been killed by the minister in his lifetime."

"I know you are very strong, very strong, but..." Xiao Changning looked at Beizhen Fusi, who was faintly visible in the distance, and said with fear, "But if you have any accidents, this palace will suffer for a lifetime."

Her voice was very small, as if the wind had blown away, but Shen Xuan still heard clearly, and the corners of her mouth raised an inconspicuous arc.

The gate of Beizhen Fusi quickly appeared in front of her, and Shen Xuan slapped the horse's hip with the back of a knife, speeding up and running.

The accident happened at this moment!

An assassin was ambushed on the roof ridge beside the road.

Almost at the same time, Shen Xuan sensed the murderous intent from the depths of the darkness, and hurriedly turned around, drew his sword and looked in the direction of the assassin! But before he had time to make a move, he only heard a snorting sound. An Xiuchun knife flew out of Beizhen Fusi first, and accurately knocked down the assassin on the eaves.

The danger was lifted, Shen Xuan's tight muscles relaxed a little, and she held the frightened horse steady, looked in the direction where the Xiuchun Dao was flying, and spit out two cold words: "Thank you."

"It's all from my own family, you don't have to be polite, Admiral Shen." A hearty and familiar female voice steadily heard, slowly walking out of the shadow of the alley with a bit of unruly freedom.

The darkness faded from her, and the moonlight was cold, revealing the beautiful and heroic face of the woman in brocade clothes.

"Yueyao?" Xiao Changning couldn't say anything, "Aren't you in Kaifeng?"

"The chaos in the middle of Beijing, how could the courtiers leave you and the emperor alone?" Yue Yao was wearing a flying fish suit with an embroidered spring scabbard in her hand, walking slowly, pulling out the blade from the dead assassin, and then again. The assassin’s nightwalker wiped away the blood stains, and then he looked back and smiled brightly at the moonlight, “Sneak back, don’t say anything.”

With that, Yue Yao gave an order, and the gate of Beizhen Fusi opened with a creak, and dozens of Jin Yiwei clinging to torches rushed out, standing in two rows at the door, bowing to Xiao Changning on horseback and said: "Kow to see Changning The eldest princess!"

The torch is bright, and Beizhen Fusi is instantly bright as day, illuminating this pure land.

"You!" Xiao Changning slid off his horse with the help of Shen Xuan, and pointed Yue Yao's smooth forehead.

Seeing Yue Yao still smiling facelessly, Xiao Changning's heart moved, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to hug Yue Yao tightly, breathing tremblingly: "Just come back..."

On horseback, Shen Xuan looked at Yue Yao, who was embraced by Xiao Changning, her eyebrows wrinkled, her expression cold.

What a murderous look!

A chill rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, Yue Yao couldn't help but shiver,'haha' let go of Xiao Changning with a dry laugh, and said to the horseback with a murderous Shenxuan: "Well, your Royal Highness will give it to me. Yes, Admiral Shen, don't worry, haha, hahaha."

Her eyes were erratic, she didn't dare to look directly at Shen Xuan, and while laughing dryly, she asked in a low voice and guilty conscience: "His Royal Highness, have we been exposed about stealing'Baby'? Why did Admiral Shen see me and look like he wants to kill?"

Xiao Changning also looked inexplicable, shook his head, and said with his eyes: Impossible! This palace would rather die than surrender than confess you!

Besides, Shen Xuan is not an eunuch, and what Yueyao stole was not his Laoshi’s ‘baby’...

The two of them flickered, arguing for a long time to no avail, so they had to turn their heads together, looking at the frosty face of Shenxuan eagerly.

Shen Xuan rode on a high-headed horse, with a powerful momentum. The blood-stained black cloak was hunting in the wind, and she looked at Yue Yao and said coldly: "The more you caress, the better you don't hug and hug your Highness. ."

With a guilty conscience, Yue Yao nodded hurriedly: "Admiral Shen said that."

Shen Xuan's expression turned a little, and then she put a soft tone, and said to Xiao Changning on the side: "His Royal Highness will take a rest in Beizhen Fusi, and tomorrow will be in front of Ci Ning Palace."

Yin Shi...In other words, Shen Xu intends to defeat Huo Jie's Jin Yiwei in one fell swoop before Yin Shi, and then enter the palace to rescue the emperor controlled by the Queen Mother?

Xiao Changning understood it, and nodded seriously: "Yinshi enters the palace to help, my palace understands."

Shen Yun nodded, her black cloak almost blended with the night. Finally, he took a deep look at Xiao Changning, and then turned his horse's head...

"Wait." Xiao Changning suddenly called him.

Shen Xuan moved for a while, turned back on horseback, and stared at her.

Xiao Changning walked to Shen Xiu and stood there, looking up at him and said, "Chen Xiu, come here with your ears."

The horse's back was high, and Xiao Changning's neck was sore from the back. Shen Xuan stayed in without knowing it, pondered for a moment, or leaned over on horseback, trying to keep her eyes level with her as much as possible.

The next moment, Xiao Changning put his arms around his neck and gently kissed his lips on tiptoe.

This kiss was like a dragonfly, and it was separated at the touch of a touch, Shen Xuan's icy eyes melted, revealing a slightly surprised look.

In the moonlight, Xiao Changning touched his forehead, and a little sparkling light jumped in his beautiful and exquisite eyes, and said in a low voice, "Shen Xu, do you remember what the palace said? When the sacrificial storm is over, I will It's all over to you... So, you have to return safely."

The wind passed through silently, and the moonlight was lonely. Shura, who was **** on the horse's back, restrained his hostility and exchanged a kiss with the beautiful Emperor Ji who was standing under the horse.

Shen Xuan rubbed her lips with her thumb, and said in a deep voice, "The minister dare not forget."

Yue Yao couldn't believe her eyes! She seemed to have seen something terrifying, her eyes widened, her mouth wide open, and her throat briefly fell silent because she was too shocked.

It wasn't until Shen Xuan swung his whip away that Yue Yao came back to her senses, blinked, and stretched out her hand to close her chin. She put on a serious face, turned to look at the two rows of brothers holding torches at the door, and asked loudly like interrogators: "What did you see just now?"

Jin Yiwei from Beizhen Fusi unanimously said: "I didn't see anything!"

Yue Yao asked again: "What did you hear?"

Jin Yiwei collectively shook his head: "I heard nothing!"

"Very good." Yue Yao nodded, stretched out his hand to pat the brothers who are not squinted and blind in time, and said seriously, "It's worth noting that the caresser has carefully cultivated you for many years."

"After going to Yueyao, hurry in, and I will go to confront the one from Ci Ning Palace tomorrow." Xiao Changning smashed his mouth, seemed to be still reminiscing about the gentle wind and drizzle of the kiss before reaching out. Yueyao pulled into Fusi of Beizhen.

At the moment when the gate of Beizhen Fusi closed, Yue Yao's doubts and shocks finally couldn't help but burst, and an unbelievable wailing broke out from inside: "Your Majesty! What did I see just now? You really like him. NS?!"

"Huh?" Xiao Changning asked, taking it for granted, "Can't it?"

"But he is an eunuch!"

"Shhh! Keep your voice down."

Xiao Changning covered Yue Yao's mouth, pursed his lips, and said slyly: "I also recognize the'eunuch', he has to be in this life."

"His Royal Highness, wake up!"

Tonight, the more caresses, the more irritated you are. The guards of Beizhen Fusi Jinyi who watched the night at the door pierced their ears and looked at the sky collectively: However, the humble servants did not hear anything!

Dark clouds obscured the moon, and the capital was plunged into a deep gloom.

The door of the Hall of Nourishment was slammed open, and the gust of wind poured in. The bright yellow gauze in the room was rolled up and the candlelight trembling tremblingly in the wind, shadowy.

Xiao Huan sat up on the couch swiftly, looked nervously at the dark door, and hugged into the bedding and said, "...who is it?"

The red shadow flashed in, Liang Yourong closed the door with his backhand, leaving a row of moist blood on the door frame with his palm. She gasped and said weakly: "Hush...Your Majesty, it's a concubine."

"Queen?" Xiao Huan's eyes widened, and he stumbled over to bed, looking at Liang Yourong, who was covered in blood, and said at a loss, "You...you bleed a lot of blood! Why did you get hurt like this?"

"Chen concubine... it's okay." Liang Yourong staggered, leaning on the door frame and barely standing still. She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and the remaining makeup on her face remained unfading, but her lips were still scary white, as if she would fall to the ground in the next moment, turning into a cold corpse.

She lost too much blood, fearing her life would be in danger.

Xiao Huan held back his fear, picked up the robes stacked on the side of the couch and randomly pressed it on the wound on her shoulder, trembling to stop her bleeding.

"It's useless." Liang Yourong opened her eyes, her eyes regained a little composure, stretched out her blood-stained hand to hold Xiao Huan, and squeezed tightly, trembling quickly, "Your Majesty don't care about me, put on your clothes quickly. , The concubine sent you out of the palace."

Her strength was so great that Xiao Huan was a little bit painful when she was caught, and said in a daze, "Go...where to go?"

"It's fine to go anywhere, leave here at night and hide." Liang Yourong pushed Xiao Huan and urged, "Quick!"

Xiao Huan was afraid that she would burst the wound with anger, so he nodded hurriedly, and tremblingly picked up the clothes next to the couch and put them on.

Liang Yourong looked around, and saw the bright candles in the room, red silk all over the room, and the red words on the window lattices, and the longan and red dates on the table...

This was supposed to be her wedding night in the bridal chamber, but now it has become a great irony.

She raised her eyes, and forced the soreness in her eyes.

"Queen, I am ready." Xiao Huan stood neatly in front of Liang Yourong. He saw Liang Yourong's wet red eyes, and he was startled slightly, and said, "Queen, you cry..."

"Let's go, Your Majesty, it will be too late." Liang Yourong turned her head away, avoiding Xiao Huan's probing gaze.

She grabbed Xiao Huan's hand and pulled the door open. Seeing that the guard who was knocked down at the door had not woken up, she breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Your Majesty is following the concubine, don't want to speak, don't want to let go."

Xiao Huan looked at the young wife who had only been married for a day before him, at her bleeding shoulders and cold and red fingertips, and there was a moment of loss and struggle in his eyes, and he muttered: "Queen ......Why do you want to save me?"

The night is cold, the wind blows on the face like a knife, and the moonlight is like frost, so cold that it can almost freeze people.

Liang Yourong familiarly led Xiao Huan around the patrolling soldiers, and dived out of the hall by night. For a long time, she replied weakly and firmly: "The concubine said that from now on, the concubine will protect your majesty."

There is a horse tied beside the palace road outside the temple, which she left behind when she came.

Liang Yourong took Xiao Huan and hid behind the horse, blocking his body with the whirling shadow of the tree. She looked at the young young man in front of her, her pale lips trembling slightly, and said: "The concubine may not see the years to come, but at least tonight, the concubine must fulfill the vow."

There was water in Xiao Huan's eyes, and he choked: "The Queen Mother will not let you go. You are my wife. I should protect you..."

"The concubine also hopes to see the day when your majesty becomes stronger, so strong that he will not be swayed by the East Factory, and will not be..." She paused, and Fang gritted his teeth, "I will not be held hostage by the Queen Mother. The concubine enters the palace. , I just hope to help your Majesty stir up the turbidity, but after all, this blood filled with blood is spilled in the wrong place and almost made a big mistake."

"Queen..."

"Your Majesty, you probably don't know. The concubines actually met your Majesty when they were very young."

Xiao Huan opened his mouth slightly, and said in amazement, "When I was very young?"

Liang Yourong nodded, looking back on that snowy night many years ago, the corners of her pale mouth swung slightly. This slightly sad smile in the moonlight was actually the only smile she had after entering the palace.

"It was many, many years ago, and it was also a snowy day. The empress dowager lost her beloved son and was depressed all day long. My father sent me to the palace to accompany the bridesmaid. One night, I lost my way in the palace and went shopping. In an old and secluded utility room, I suddenly heard a weak cry for help coming from inside..."

Liang Yourong said concisely and calmly narrated, "I told the guards who were looking for someone in the palace. The guards smashed open the door and carried out the almost frozen Princess Changning and Your Majesty. At that time, Your Majesty was still very young. , About three or four years old, like an exquisite porcelain doll, it shatters at the touch of a touch... However, your Majesty must not remember it."

Xiao Huan really didn't remember.

Liang Yourong stopped talking with the footsteps of the night guard. When the guard was away, she coughed dryly and turned around and said: "It's only a quarter of an hour to change shifts. Your Majesty will get on the horse."

Xiao Changning looked at Liang Yourong with a complicated expression.

Eleven years ago, he and A sister nearly died in the hands of the jealous Queen Mother Liang, but were rescued twice by her niece. I have to say that fate is turning around and good fortune makes people.

"quick!"

Under Liang Yourong's urging, Xiao Huan stepped onto the horse with a complicated mind. His eyes were clearer than ever before, and he looked down at Liang Yourong on horseback, and said firmly: "The queen's life-saving grace, I will not forget."

Liang Yourong was startled, then slowly paled with a smile.

However, her smile had not yet fully burst, and it had turned into panic. As if perceiving the danger, her eyes quickly became cold, and she turned around to look at the end of the palace road, and said vigilantly: "Your Majesty, go!"

However, it was too late.

The torches on the side of the road were bright, and countless guards poured out from both sides of the palace road, blocking her and Xiao Huan's way out and retreat.

The bright torch stung her eyes. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was trapped in the swords and swords of the guards, and there was no way out.

The queen mother was still wearing a majestic dark purple robe, wearing a jade phoenix crown, and slowly walking out on the arm of the grand palace lady Yu Kou, and said in a deep voice: "The night is so late, where are the queen and the emperor going?"

Knowing that there is no hope of fleeing, Liang Yourong's face is ashamed, and the expression of pleading in her always arrogant eyes: "The empress dowager..."

Empress Dowager Liang narrowed her eyes and interrupted her and said: "You Rong, you are a good boy, don't mess around, send the emperor back to Ai's house."

"Niang, the concubine always thought you were right, and Dongchang was the traitor, but you are holding the emperor in such a way, it's too..."

"Fools talk about right and wrong, and the only big thing will win or lose! If the Aijia wins today, the Aijia is right!" Empress Dowager Liang said sharply, "Bring the emperor here!"

Liang Yourong shook his head and supported the body at the end of the crossbow, firmly and resolutely guarding Xiao Huan, and said sadly: "If the empress is defeated, the concubine is willing to apologize with death; if the empress does not understand, the concubine will also die. Proof, never help Zhou to be at the mercy of others!"

"You!" Empress Dowager Liang raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Okay, okay! The Ai family will do you! Your death, the Ai family will be counted on the head of the Dongchang, and it will not be in vain to cultivate you for many years!"

Having said that, she waved her hand, without the slightest nostalgia in her eyes, and ordered: "The sky has no eyes, the queen has died in the hands of the Dongchang rebels!"

The guards got orders and raised their halberds to stab Liang Yourong's scarred body!

"Queen!" Xiao Huan shouted sadly.

Liang Yourong closed his eyes in resignation...

At this moment, a few arrows flew, shooting down all the guards who had time to kill the queen in the future! Then, the sound of neat footsteps came, Yue Yao and Xiao Changning each led by Jin Yiwei from the Fusi of the Qianbei Town, and outflanked the chaotic Empress Dowager Liang and others!

"From the perspective of this palace, it was not Dongchang who murdered the queen, but another traitor?" In the depths of the fire, Xiao Changning stepped on his horse, staring at the Queen Mother Liang with smiling eyes.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind, and the situation is turned upside down in an instant.

Empress Dowager Liang's eyes dazzled, and she said bitterly: "Xiao Changning, are you not dead?"
