After a while, Wei Ning'er heard the sound of banging on the door.

Bingruo was about to ask, but Wei Ning'er covered her mouth and whispered: "Don't say anything, if it is someone who wants to harm me, it will be terrible. Since they dare to set fire, there will be consequences."

hand!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." At this moment, E Ning's voice came to mind from outside.

"Ening, you knock on the door, I'll go in and take a look!" Hu Shijie shouted, then flew over the palace wall and landed steadily on the ground.

"Brother Wenhao!" Wei Ning'er was overjoyed when she saw it was him.

At this moment, Ening also split the big lock that locked the palace door outside and opened the palace door.

"Your Majesty, there's a fire. Please follow the servants and others to take shelter!" E Ning said respectfully.

Wei Ning'er nodded and went out with them, only to see blood on the ground, and all the guards who were originally guarding outside had their heads disfigured.

"Did you kill them?" Wei Ning'er's face turned slightly pale and she asked in a trembling voice.

"No, the slaves were lurking around according to the emperor's order. When they found the fire and came over, they were already dead!" En Ning immediately reported.

"Take your Majesty to a safe place first, and then ask someone to put out the fire!" Hu Shijie shouted loudly. At this moment, a large group of guards ran over.

"You came just in time, come and put out the fire!" Ening shouted.

"No, there is murderous intent, protect the empress!" Hu Shijie shouted violently, and then pulled out the sword from his waist.

Ening also noticed the abnormality, drew his sword and shouted: "Stop whoever comes!"

"Sir, I and others are here to put out the fire under orders!" the leading guard shouted from a distance.

"Firefighting? What are you doing with your veil on? You're so sneaky, why don't you get out of here!" Ening shouted coldly.

It was dark at night, and it was not until these guards arrived that Wei Ning'er and the others discovered that these guards were wearing veils. After being shocked, they realized that something was unusual.

Wei Ning'er held on to her fox fur cloak tightly, fearing that others would see that she was pregnant and harm the child in her belly.

"Sir, I have indeed been ordered to put out the fire!" The guards pressed forward step by step, the knives in their hands flashing with cold light. They were about to force Wei Ning'er and the others into the Yanxi Palace.

"Whose order are you following? The emperor is on a tour, and the biggest master in the palace is your concubine. Your concubine has given orders, and she ordered you to get out of the way." Ening shouted loudly.

"Ening, don't talk nonsense with them, get out!" Hu Shijie's face darkened, he firmly protected Wei Ning'er behind him, and rushed out with a loud shout.

Ening originally wanted to delay for a while and wait for his men to come, but at this time it seemed that the guards would not give him that chance.

The two of them waved the long swords in their hands vigorously and faced the guards. The two of them were highly skilled in martial arts. They killed the guards in a short time and protected Wei Ning'er as she walked to the palace road to the side.

"Your Majesty, someone must have bribed the guards and wants to harm your Majesty. Now we can only go to the emperor's palace to take shelter. We have people there. We will make a decision after dawn!" Ening said as he walked.

With Bingruo's help, Wei Ning'er still couldn't keep up with them and stopped panting.

"My queen is not feeling well, please walk slower!" Bingruo shouted in a low voice.

"What's wrong with the empress?" Hu Shijie was shocked.

Wei Ning'er leaned against the palace wall and kept panting, with cold sweat breaking out on her face.

"Did the empress have a fetal movement?" Bingruo was shocked and turned pale.

Wei Ning'er shook her head gently: "I'm just a little tired!"

Hu Shijie and E Ning were both stunned when they heard this, and it took them a while to come back to their senses.

"No wonder the emperor repeatedly told us to protect the empress before leaving." E Ning suddenly realized and said in a deep voice: "Empress, although the emperor brought many people on tour, there are too many people in the palace now, and the slaves

There are very few people whose letters have been bribed. Assassinating the master is a serious crime that will destroy the nine tribes. Let's not be impatient and go slowly to the Yangxin Palace. There are still the imperial guards left by the emperor. Tomorrow, the empress will issue an order to summon the generals who will stay in the capital.

I will come here to give you some advice, and then give instructions to the guards and commanders. It is already late, and there is no distinction between us and the enemy in the palace at this time, so it is not convenient to announce them. The slave has the emperor's secret decree, and everything will be decided tomorrow. There is no need for the empress.

Worry, you will be safe after tonight!" Ening said this and blamed himself a little, blaming him for being too careless, but nothing like this has ever happened in the palace in the past few years, and no one was prepared.

The guards in the palace are all carefully selected disciples of the Eight Banners, especially those with a slight title. Anyone who is not from a famous family will definitely not betray the royal family. The imperial city is heavily guarded, and those who want to assassinate the empress are definitely not sneaking into the palace from outside.

, the master must have bribed someone before leaving, and wanted to put the imperial concubine to death.

"E-Ning, do you still remember Beren, the guard commander of the Shenwu Sect?" Hu Shijie whispered.

"Do you suspect it's him?" Ening suddenly choked: "It is very possible that the empress was stopped by Beren outside the Cangxia Gate when she left the palace privately. If the servant hadn't arrived in time and used the emperor's instructions, the empress would have

This time it will be much worse!"

"The imperial concubine was causing trouble that time, could it be the same this time?" Wei Ning'er's expression changed drastically.

"My Lady, Belen is most likely a confidant of the Imperial Concubine. According to the rules of the palace, the guards of the Shenwu Gate can only guard the palace gate and are not allowed to patrol the inner palace. Could it be that those guards just now were those guards in disguise?" Hu Shijie

He said with a solemn expression.

"It's very possible!" Ening nodded.

It was not very close from the Yanxi Palace to the Yangxin Palace. In addition, Wei Ning'er was physically handicapped and walked very slowly. Along the way, they were surprised that they did not encounter a group of guards on patrol at night.

"Something unusual!" Hu Shijie said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the palace is so quiet. I wonder what's going on?" En Ning said solemnly.

"Don't go to Yangxin Hall yet, maybe they are waiting for me to fall into their trap!" Wei Ning'er suddenly stopped.

"Yes!" Ening and Hu Shijie looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. They will never think that we will return to Yanxi Palace. Let's go and go back and take a look. You won't get burned standing outside Yanxi Palace. And... Yanxi Palace

It is closest to Cangxia Gate. If necessary, you can leave the palace for temporary refuge. En Ning, if it really comes to that point, can the E family protect this palace?" Wei Ning'er asked in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Madam, although my servant's Ama has passed away, the E family is full of loyal people, and the servant's brothers are all good people. The eldest brother and the third brother can be regarded as frontier officials. Although they are not in the capital, the E family is heavily guarded.

Moreover, the second brother E Shi has been appointed as the commander of the left wing vanguard. I have a secret order from the emperor to allow the second brother to transfer troops from the forward camp to the E family to protect the empress!" E Ning said respectfully.

"Go back to Yanxi Palace!" Wei Ning'er had already made up her mind. At this point, in order to protect the child in her belly, she no longer cared so much.
