Wei Qinghan? !

Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan were taken aback for a moment, they never dreamed that the person Xiao Huan mentioned would be him.To be honest, this is not framing. Wei Qinghan is indeed the son of a criminal minister who should have served his sentence long ago. They have been carefully hiding him in the mansion for so many years.

How could the prince know this?Ever since Xiao Shixian sent people to find Wei Qinghan last time, Xiao Yan and Liu Muchen have secretly strengthened the guard in the mansion, not to mention that Xuanning Palace also has internal support in the East Palace, it is impossible for Xiao Huan to catch Wei Qinghan no matter what.

Is it...

Liu Muchen stared at the Daoming yellow imperial edict, a guess was born in his heart, but he was quickly strangled in the cradle by him.

This cannot be Xiao Shixian's will. If he really wanted to pursue this matter, he would not have summoned him privately back then.

Only Xiao Huan can make such a decree.If he can tell this matter frankly, it means that Wei Qinghan is likely to have fallen into his hands, not to mention how Xiao Huan found out about this matter, since he has done this in the name of Xiao Shixian Therefore, it is impossible for them to escape unscathed today.

Seeing the strange expressions on Xiao Yan and Liu Muchen's faces, the leader's smile became more and more arrogant: "My lord, please."

Liu Muchen pulled Xiao Yan's clothes from behind, and the latter secretly held his hand. Only one word came out of their hearts: run!

In any case, they can't be caught without a fight. Once they fall into the hands of the prince, there is no room for reversal.

but……

Liu Muchen looked at the formation in front of him that was enough to surround them, if he wanted to run, he must do it, if they do it here, it would be open resistance, and Xiao Huan would have another reason to punish them.

"It's better than..."

"No." As soon as Xiao Yanfang opened his mouth, Liu Muchen interrupted him involuntarily: "If you fall into their hands, you will be a piece of meat and potatoes. No matter what I think, as long as the crown prince doesn't take that seat, they will I will definitely watch you to death, I am not at ease."

Xiao Yan chuckled lightly: "When did Ah Chen lose confidence in himself?"

Liu Muchen didn't take it seriously: "I bet on you, I can't afford to lose."

Xiao Yan's heart moved, he moved his lips to the side of Liu Muchen's face, and was about to kiss Fangze, when suddenly there was a loud noise in front of him.

A group of traffickers and pawns came from both sides of the road, each of them pushing a cart loaded with jumbled sacks, which bulged high and placed in front of people, obstructing the view very much.

"Alas! What are you doing! Get out of the way!"

"What are you talking about! I want to transport these things to the pier, and you will be in charge when the ship leaves late!"

……

It's a fairly spacious road, and you can pass by borrowing a seat from each other, but the two groups of people quarreled for some reason.They didn't seem to care about the officers and soldiers around them at all, and the more noisy they became, the more they quarreled in front of Xiao Yan.

"What! Say it again!"

"What's the matter! Do you want to do it?!"

……

"Alas! What's the matter with you!" The commander was distraught by the smoky people in front of him. Seeing that they didn't listen to persuasion, he got angry and ordered the officers and soldiers under him to step forward and suppress them.

Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan looked at each other, somewhat confused about the scene in front of them.

Suddenly, Liu Muchen felt his knee was lightly smashed by something.He was slightly taken aback, and looked along the place where the stone flew from. When he looked, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He tugged on Xiao Yan's sleeve, the latter obviously also noticed the movement on the other side, the two secretly exchanged a look, and quickly slipped off the horse while there was a lot of trouble ahead.

The commander had a headache surrounded by those noisy traffickers and pawns, he casually glanced forward, saw that no one was there, his face turned livid, and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

The group of people who had been arguing just now suddenly turned into little white rabbits, and they retreated obediently to the two sides, but in the empty street, apart from a snorting horse, there was no one else like Xiao Yan and the others. shadow.

"You should be fine here." Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan were dragged around, and finally ran into an unnamed alley in the city.

Liu Muchen looked at the young man wearing a bamboo hat in front of him, and said joyfully, "Ah Xu?!"

Yu Wenxu smiled lightly. He has been in charge of the Yuwen family these years, and has experienced many hardships. His bearing is much better than before. He is no longer the cold and thin boy who only knows how to endure and has no power to restrain a chicken?

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Did you find those people outside?"

Yu Wenxu nodded slightly, and explained: "Since I got the news that the prince and you are going back to Beijing, I have sent people to guard the gate of the city every day. As expected, as soon as the prince entered the city, he was followed by the prince's people."

After listening to Yu Wenxu's words, Liu Muchen knew that he had a good understanding of the situation. Although he was not an official in the court, most of their family's business was with the court, and he had a good friendship with Han Ke. He wanted to know something The basic things are not difficult.

"What's the situation right now? When I come back this time, I feel as if the entire capital of Shangjing has been taken over by the crown prince."

Yu Wenxu looked worried, he glanced at Xiao Yan, and sighed: "It is our incompetence that caused Mr. Wei to be arrested, and even Prince Xuanning's residence was sealed."

Liu Muchen was slightly taken aback, Xiao Yan sneered and said: "It seems that the prince came prepared this time, and really wants to play with this king."

Yu Wenxu: "That day, Ke'er went to the palace to visit Mr. Wei, and unexpectedly, the prince caught him. After some disputes, both she and Mr. Wei went to prison, and even Uncle Han was implicated."

Liu Muchen was thoughtful: "In this way, it is a lie to let Big Brother Han go back to King Jingqin, but it is true to arrest him?"

Yu Wenxu shook his head: "Not necessarily, the edict was issued to Brother Han earlier, not to mention that it was true that Prince Heng assassinated the emperor, he was captured by the prince himself that day, and later the court received news that Prince Lian led troops to the north... ..."

Liu Muchen frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, he hesitated and said: "So, even the prince led the troops to the north, it may be because of the news that Prince Heng was arrested... even the prince came all the way. , has anyone been injured, has any city been robbed?"

Yu Wenxu shook his head: "I've never heard of it."

"That is to say, if it wasn't for the crown prince who deliberately blocked the news for fear of causing panic, or there was no such thing..."

Xiao Yan naturally knew Liu Muchen's thoughts, he said: "Uncle Lian has the iron voucher of the Danshu given by my father, unless he really wants to rebel, he can be labeled at will. I can't eat and walk around."

Liu Muchen felt a little uneasy in his heart, he said: "The prince is only the supervisor of the country now, so he dares to target Prince Lian, if there is not enough evidence..."

Xiao Yan's expression froze suddenly, and there was a trace of cold killing intent in his eyes: "That is, he is sure that the father will not wake up."

This short sentence made Liu Muchen and Yu Wenxu's heart skip a beat, but in fact, they both had such doubts in their hearts.

Yu Wenxu frowned: "Lord Mo of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Fu of the Ministry of Household...But many officials who had been involved with the prince in the court in the past, many of them were dismissed under various names..."

Liu Muchen glanced at Xiao Yan, just like Xiao Yan accused Xiao Huan and Pan Xu of making weapons for being indiscriminate, now it is finally Xiao Huan's turn to attack Xiao Yan.

"I want to go to the palace." Xiao Yan said suddenly.

Liu Muchen: "To see the emperor?"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly: "You must first understand Father's situation before you can make any further plans."

Yu Wenxu showed a worried expression: "But now even the city is controlled by the prince, let alone the palace, not to mention that they can arrest the prince with legitimate crimes. If they want to enter the palace, I'm afraid..."

Liu Muchen chuckled: "Then let's get in."

Yu Wenxu was stunned, Liu Muchen took out something from his sleeve, it was the token that Xiao Yi threw to himself before he died, he said at that time that he would always use it in the future, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Seeing things and thinking about others, that resolute and handsome face reappeared in Liu Muchen's mind in an instant.

He shook his head and said to Yu Wenxu: "Axu, let's enter the palace first. If you haven't come out by tomorrow morning, you should try to contact Brother Han. He is now camping outside the city."

Yu Wenxu's lips moved slightly, he hesitated to speak, and finally he put away his worried face, and nodded solemnly.

"A Xu has grown up, so Uncle Han can rest assured to give Miss Han to him." Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan each got a black cloak with a hood, and took the most hidden path to the inner palace.

Xiao Yan laughed when he heard this, "How old-fashioned are you when you say that?"

Liu Muchen was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "It's just that time flies like an arrow."

Xiao Yan took a deep look at Liu Muchen, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little delicate. After an unknown period of time, they both stopped.

Liu Muchen poked his head out from the wall, looked in front of the heavily guarded palace gate for a moment, and said with a chuckle, "Fortunately, it's still the same group of people."

Back then they were chased by the prince's men in the palace, but thanks to Xiao Yi's subordinates, they were able to escape smoothly.

"Who?!" The general who guarded the gate saw two people wearing black cloaks, who looked like they were not good at first sight, came to this end, and the alarm sounded in his heart.

Liu Muchen flashed the badge in front of the general, who was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Xiao Yan behind him.

Ever since he heard about the changes in Beijing from Han Xun, Xiao Yan gave up the idea of ​​spreading the news of Xiao Yi's death to the capital.Although Xiao Huan may have already got the news, it is impossible for him to reveal this matter before the court receives the subpoena, so that the people in the court will think that Xiao Yi is still alive, so Xiao Huan will move his subordinates. Power is not so easy.

After all, that man is famous for his watertightness, otherwise Xiao Huan would not have watched his military power rise day by day, but there is nothing he can do about him.

"This..." The general looked at Xiao Yan and didn't know what to do for a moment. Now Xiao Shixian made an order to take Xiao Yan down. Logically speaking, they should obey the imperial order, but they still held Xiao Yi's token.

Xiao Yan cut straight to the point and said: "There may be changes in the palace. This king wants to enter the palace to investigate now. Your lord handed over this token to me before he died. I hope the general will let us go."

"What..." The commander opened his eyes wide: "Dying?!"

His hand on the handle of the knife trembled unconsciously, and just as he was about to examine it carefully, he suddenly heard a dry cough from behind.

"Eunuch Zhang?" The general looked at the eunuch who was walking towards him, and said in a low voice, "What orders does the imperial concubine have?"

This father-in-law is the eunuch in charge of the Hewei Palace, and it is said that he came from the imperial concubine's natal family later. Liu Muchen saw him whispering to the commander, looking familiar, and thought to himself that they should know Xiao Yi and the imperial concubine more or less thing.

Sure enough, after hearing Eunuch Zhang's words, most of the hesitation on the commander's face disappeared, and he asked the soldiers guarding behind to retreat, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, Mr. Liu, please."

The hoarse voice moved Liu Muchen's heart. It seemed that he believed the news of Xiao Yi's death.

Eunuch Zhang bowed to the two of them, and said in a low voice, "Please follow me, both of you."

Liu Muchen nodded slightly: "It's time for you, Father-in-law."

Now everyone in the city wants to arrest them, the imperial concubine's sudden appearance may not necessarily be to their detriment, not to mention that she is Xiao Shixian's favorite concubine, if she helps, it will be easier to see Xiao Shixian without anyone noticing up.

The abacus in Liu Muchen's heart was pounding, and he was thinking about how to talk to the noble concubine for a while, when Xiao Yan suddenly said: "Since she can meet us inside, she must already know a lot of things, you don't need to worry too much."

Liu Muchen was taken aback for a moment, Xiao Yan's low tone made him feel a little weird, with the lesson of Xiao Yi's incident, Liu Muchen gained wisdom, and felt that some things should be asked clearly in person, he said: "My lord, what is this?" What's wrong?"

Xiao Yan tilted his head, his eyes were deep and strange, he held Liu Muchen's hand, and said in a deep voice: "You should stop thinking about it, and what kind of time flies like an arrow, always thinking about these things is not good for your health."

Liu Muchen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood Xiao Yan's thoughts. His head, which had been slightly drooping before, was buried deeper. He dug his fingers into Xiao Yan's palm, and felt the blood flowing in his body become sour. After a long time, he responded softly: "En..."

Xiao Yan felt that his eye sockets were a bit swollen, he squinted his eyes, and tried hard to see the road in front of him that gradually dimmed with the sky...

everything will be fine.

In Liu Muchen's impression, the Hewei Palace was always full of magnificence and nobility, but this time it was a little different. After walking only two steps, he felt a sense of lifeless oppression blowing over his face.

"Cough cough—cough cough—" the woman coughed violently from inside the room.

"Ma'am! Are you okay!"

"It's okay, ahem, it's an old problem..."

"Hmph, those old fellows in the Imperial Hospital know how to play with the wind. What kind of concubine De is? When the emperor wakes up, he wants her to look good!"

"Don't... talk nonsense." The woman's voice was extremely hoarse, and it seemed that she was struggling to speak a complete sentence.

Liu Muchen frowned: "This..."

Eunuch Zhang shook his head helplessly, he led the two of them to the front of the house, and said in a deep voice, "Mother, someone is here."

The room suddenly fell silent, and after a while, two maidservants pushed the door out. They lowered their heads and bowed to Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan, and after they entered, they quietly closed the door.

The imperial concubine was sitting on a red sandalwood chair, with her body turned slightly, she still had that magnificent appearance. If she hadn't seen her pale face and coughing so violently, Liu Muchen would almost have thought that the thick dark circles under her eyes were drawn by her. smoky makeup.

"See the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, coughed, and motioned for the two to sit down.

Seeing her like this, Liu Muchen couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty is short of breath again?"

The noble concubine waved her hand, and used the native method Liu Muchen taught her back then to regain her breath. After a while, she turned her head and stared directly at each other, which surprised Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan.

"Miss, you..."

"Before he left... did he say anything?"

The last word was drowned in the desolate sobs, the imperial concubine's eyes were red, when she met Xiao Yan and Liu Muchen, tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably, she half bowed her body, and there was another burst of shock that seemed to be able to shatter the heart and lungs Dramatic cough.
