Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

The following servants and servants couldn't see the emperor in the blink of an eye, and they were all out of their wits. They only found the mysterious steps when they got close. How could they dare to be negligent? I just hate that the entrance is very narrow, and only one person can enter. Now the leader on duty will take the lead After rushing in, everyone guarded the driver with all their heart and soul, but after driving only ten steps, they saw the safe and sound emperor and Concubine Zhao.

The emperor frowned and asked Zhao Rang: "You haven't seen that person's appearance, so you can tell the difference between fat and thin, height and age of men and women?"

Zhao Rang shook his head: "I just saw something strange from the corner of my eye just now. When I chased him, the figure of that person had disappeared in the tunnel. This person does not need lighting, so it can be seen that he is very familiar with the path here, and the minister is incompetent..."

"...Jingdu doesn't need to blame himself," the emperor said with a smile to Zhao Rang, "it happened so suddenly, if it wasn't for you, it would be hard to guarantee that today, I will suffer a bloody disaster."

Although the volume of his voice was low, it was enough for the followers who followed him to hear clearly. The eunuchs were the most able to see the wind and turn the rudder. Hearing the words, they all knelt down to congratulate the emperor, and complimented Concubine Zhao for her loyalty and bravery.

This was exactly the result Li Lang hoped for. Seeing the easing of the atmosphere, he suppressed his smile, looked up at the top of the tunnel, took the lantern from the waiter, and lit it into the depths. However, the tunnel was deep and dark, and the light was no match The fire is so weak that there are still no five fingers beyond one arm.

At this time, there was some commotion at the entrance of the tunnel, but the attendants who stayed above came to report the discovery and presented the murder weapon used by the assassin: a small sleeve arrow, most of which was the arrowhead, with a faint blue light on the front and the blade. It was poisonous.

Li Lang's face was livid, and he didn't say a word.

Zhao Rang carefully lifted the sleeve arrow from the short and slender shaft, looked at it for a while and shook his head slightly: "Although it is sharp, it is just an ordinary iron tool, and the workmanship is not special. I am afraid it will be difficult to find out its origin."

"No need to trouble," Li Lang snorted coldly, motioning for Zhao Rang to also bring a lantern, and walk to the depths. After Zhao Rang caught up with him, he slowed down, with a gloomy expression, "in this authentic scale And the degree of concealment, there is no doubt that the palace was completed and accessible when it was first built, otherwise I grew up in the palace when I was young, so there would be no rumors at all."

Zhao Rang nodded silently. The Jinling Palace was first built in the early days of the Chu Dynasty, and Jinling was entrusted to Jinling by the King of the East China Sea. It is difficult to know the tunnel in the palace, but there is no clear record of such a large-scale construction project, and there are few people who know it. It can be imagined that it is a very secret matter that the kings of the East China Sea and the throne have passed on at the same time.

Li Lang's throne was usurped by killing his brother and expelling his father, even if he was a taboo, it is indeed wrong, no wonder he knows nothing about the secrets of the palace.

Zhao Rang understood Li Lang's concerns almost immediately, glanced at the back, and lowered his voice to a whisper between the two: "Your Majesty is worried, is this assassin sent by the Supreme Emperor?"

Li Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to signal the subordinates to step back a few feet away, and then said: "The outside world only knows that he was imprisoned in the deep palace, and there were even rumors that he died when I was practicing, but unfortunately, I killed him with nothing. The stigma of my father's heinous crime, but I don't even know whether my father is alive or dead. Over the years, I have searched everywhere secretly, but it was in vain."

At this point, Li Lang suddenly stopped and sneered, "Jingdu, he must be alive, and he is in Jinling City!"

Zhao Rang responded for a while, and said for a moment: "It's very possible. I just don't know if this matter has anything to do with the family of your Majesty's elder brother who died early."

The emperor's pupils were constricted and his expression was gloomy. After a while, Zhao Rang walked again. The two of them were preoccupied and stopped talking.

Along the way, there was no fork in the tunnel, and it was still dark, and the sound of numerous footsteps in the tunnel was even more ear-piercing. After walking in silence for a while, Li Lang suddenly realized something, and said to Zhao Rang: "Jing Du, your quiet There must be a secret passage in the Hua Palace, and you disappeared mysteriously that day, and finally the answer has been revealed. I don’t know where the entrance to the secret passage is, and it will probably not take a while to investigate thoroughly.”

"Yes." Zhao Rang whispered, "However, Jinghua Palace is not a critical place, and it is better for His Majesty to search from the bedroom."

Li Lang remained silent for a long time, and said for a long time: "Have you ever thought about it, why did you pick it at this time? I have been on the throne for almost six years, if you want to make trouble, why not take advantage of my precarious time..."

Before Zhao Rang opened his mouth, the width of the tunnel where two people walked side by side suddenly narrowed, and it was only for one person to pass through. There was a faint light shining in front of them, and the two looked at each other. Zhao Rang said: "Your Majesty, step back!" .”

Li Lang frowned, displeased: "How can a subject order the emperor?"

While speaking, he grabbed Zhao Rang's shoulders, trying to pull away the people blocking the front, Zhao Rang couldn't laugh or cry, instead he held Li Lang's arm, pushed him aside abruptly, and said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble! How can the emperor do whatever he wants?" Dangerous?"

Hearing this, Li Lang stopped insisting, and looked at Zhao Rang fixedly, with deep eyes and difficult expressions.

In the end, the two servants passed through the entrance first and climbed up to the ground. The rest of the people were still waiting in the tunnel. After a while, the two who went up went back to the tunnel. Their faces were terrified and they knelt down to Li Lang, but they looked at each other. Do not take the initiative to report aloud.

Li Lang was impatient and yelled at him sharply, one of them kowtowed and said: "I dare not speak clearly, please ask the Holy One to see it in person."

"I'll go up first." Seeing this, Zhao Rang said first, and without waiting for Li Lang's answer, he stepped into the narrow passage. Li Lang glared at the two servants angrily.

When he landed on the ground, there was still light rain at this time, and when the rooster crowed, the sky was still gloomy and gloomy, but even so, it was not impossible to distinguish the location of this place. The silhouette of the palace in the mist and rain is the empress dowager's bedroom that no one in the inner palace can mistake.

The other opening of this tunnel is actually in Tai'an Palace, hidden in the garden behind the palace.

No matter how powerful his concentration was, Li Lang's face suddenly changed at this moment, he stared blankly at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, clenched his teeth, unable to speak.

"There is something strange, Your Majesty." Zhao Rang waved back the servant, turned to Li Lang, and stretched out his hand to Li Lang, intending to comfort and remind him, but Li Lang suddenly raised his hand and beat Zhao Rang's arm to the side , the corners of his eyes were full of anger: "Strange! There are hidden mysteries everywhere in this palace. I am stupid and deceitful, weak and incompetent. It is really difficult to penetrate these endless mysteries!"

In an instant, his eyes were as frosty as ice, and his tone of voice was as cold as a cold wind. Zhao Rang was silent, took a half step back, not avoiding Li Lang's glaring, and said gently: "Now that it is time to enter Yin, Your Majesty should also prepare to go to court early. Stay longer Here, it is also easy for people to notice, and it is not beneficial to thoroughly investigate the strangeness."

The two almost confronted each other, and after a while, Li Lang calmed down, the ice melted, and he tilted his head and sighed slightly: "You...why... also, if you stay here, you won't be able to scare the snake."

The emperor let go, and all the servants immediately felt relieved. Although it is well known that Dongchu's supreme mother and child are not close, but it seems that the last time the emperor insisted on burning down the Buddhist hall to show the estrangement between the two, of course it can be avoided. Avoid -- no matter how bad it is, don't want it to happen when you are on duty.

At the moment when the group of people returned from the original road of the tunnel, Li Lang went to the court to discuss matters, but before boarding the car, he stopped suddenly, turned around to Zhao Rang, stretched out his arms to embrace him, and embraced him without hesitation, saying loudly Like a gnat, exhale like this: "Jingdu, only you, don't hurt me."

Zhao Rang froze all over, forced a smile and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the Empress Dowager has not yet been settled."

Hearing this, Li Lang moved his lips slightly, but without making a sound, he just hugged Zhao Rang heavily and left in the chariot.

Standing blankly in the slanting wind and drizzle watching the emperor leave, Zhao Rang felt a chill that pierced his bones.

He didn't dare to rely on his wisdom in front of Li Lang. This young man who is used to counterattacks from the Jedi is very likely to have become suspicious of him. Zhao Rang didn't know if he had enough courage and ability to survive until the overall situation was determined and the uncertainties could not arise. At that time, I don't know how Li Lang will treat him at that time——

At this moment, Zhao Rang felt deeply tired, and awe and desolation for the unpredictable fate spontaneously arose in his heart.

After returning to Chengxian Palace, because he was too sleepy, Zhao Rang had a simple breakfast. After writing in Deming Hall for a while, he put away the scroll and sat on the Arhat bed for a rest. There seemed to be someone else walking around, so he opened his eyes slightly, and suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of him, and he felt that the person's breath was hot, and when his lips were touched, he was startled, the person had already taken a step back, staring at him stupidly. Him, half a smile is not a smile.

"Ming'er..." Zhao Rang sighed softly, "Do you know that you almost ruined something important today?"

Li Ming was dressed in a small yellow dress, and his facial features had not changed, except that there were some black and purple bumpy spots extending from his cheeks to his neck, which made people look tired.

Hearing Zhao Rang's words, Li Ming was not surprised, but instead beamed with joy: "You really recognized me! I was dressed like that, and I didn't even dare to look in the mirror. You can still recognize me."

Zhao Rang smiled wryly, but his brows were tightly furrowed: "If it wasn't for me, someone else captured you alive earlier, what would you do? Your suicide is a small matter, and the situation that your mother worked so hard to manage was not completely destroyed by you?"

Li Ming's expression was gloomy. He had already closed the doors and windows of the house. At this time, he boldly sat next to Zhao Rang, raised his eyes and said, "I don't understand. It's already come to this point. Why don't you just get rid of Li Lang? Can there be fewer dead people in the novel? Even if it is the emperor, the names of those who died unexpectedly are long and full..."

Zhao Rang's eyes turned cold, and he said without expression: "Is the prince going to break his promise to me?"

Seeing that Li Ming was slumped and silent, he softened his tone a little bit: "How can someone who seeks state affairs be as reckless and impulsive as you? If a change of ruler in the world can be accomplished by simply killing the emperor, then who can secure the throne?"

However, Li Ming heard it in a bad way. He only felt that Zhao Rang's implication was that he was not qualified to sit on the ninety-five seats, so he couldn't help defending himself: "But today, don't you also lead Li Lang to this place?" Is it Tai'an Palace? That tunnel was meant for him to discover, so it's not a big deal. Besides, if it wasn't for me, your sister..."

He stopped abruptly, and Zhao Rang hurriedly asked: "Changle is really in your hands, how is she?"

Li Ming didn't want to be straightforward, he turned to Zhao Rang, and said solemnly, "Hug me like you hugged Li Lang before, and I'll tell you."

Zhao Rang was secretly startled, could it be that their every move in the tunnel was watched by Li Ming?But the tunnel is so narrow, with cliffs on both sides, where should he hide?If there is another universe in that tunnel, it can be said that there are many institutions. The person who designed it at the beginning must be a genius from the sky, supplemented by the power of the king, and then he can succeed.

He kept his composure, leaned over, embraced Li Ming, paused for a while, and let go silently.

"What Li Lang can give you, I can also—" Li Ming's eyes flickered, a little proud, "Your sister fell into the hands of Hui Hai, she is ugly, and she wants to design to ruin her and me's innocence. I think it's too early to kill Hui Hai, just to take her corpse, the golden cicada, to get rid of its shell."

Zhao Rang was moved, and Huo Ran straightened up and said, "Please explain in detail, what's going on?"
