Ever since she and Lu Yu left the palace that day, Xie Ningxia has really been staying in the palace for the past few days. Huan'er even felt that something was wrong, "Madam, have you been feeling uncomfortable in some way these past few days? This is the first time for Huan'er.
I see you staying in the palace for such a long time!"
Xie Ningxia was sitting at the table. When she heard Huan'er say this, she raised her head and said, "No, I'm just a little tired recently. Huan'er, please go out first and I'll rest for a while."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is hosting a banquet tonight, are you really not going to do it?"
"If I don't go, there's no point in going."
Seeing what Xie Ningxia said, Huan'er had no choice but to go out obediently. Huan'er felt very strange. Her Majesty has been staying alone in the palace for the past few days. No one can go in, and she doesn't leave the palace. She really seems to feel a bit like a queen.
.
When it was time for dinner, Huan'er stood outside the door and said, "Mother, do you want dinner now?"
Seeing that Xie Ningxia ignored her, Huan'er shouted several times but no one answered. Huan'er was worried that something had happened to Xie Ningxia and pushed the door open.
Seeing that there was no one in the front hall, Huan'er walked directly behind the screen and saw Xie Ningxia changing clothes, and what was returned was not ordinary clothes but night clothes.
"Empress..."
"Shh, don't talk." Xie Ningxia continued to put on her clothes. Huan'er looked at Xie Ningxia with a horrified look on her face until Xie Ningxia finished changing her clothes.
"Empress, where are you going? Don't scare Huan'er. Wuwuwu, your Majesty was already furious last time you escaped. If you leave again this time, what will happen to the Xie Mansion and what will happen to Huan'er?"
Xie Ningxia looked at the tearful Huan'er, "Huan'er, don't worry, I will definitely take you with me if I run away. But I have other things to do tonight and need to leave the palace. You can watch here and don't let others in. I
Go and come back quickly."
Xie Ningxia patted Huan'er on the shoulder and was about to leave, but she heard Huan'er say: "Is your Majesty going to sneak into the Ministry of War? Madam, sneaking into the Ministry of War is a capital crime. Huan'er begs your Majesty to think again." After saying this, Huan'er knelt down to Xie Ningxia.
Xie Ningxia turned to look at Huan'er, "Huan'er, I know it's dangerous, but no one except me is willing to help Prince An."
"Is everything you do for Your Highness?"
"Yes, King An treated you well before Huan'er. Do you really have the heart to see King An suffer amnesia from others for no reason?"
"Your Majesty, I can't bear anything to happen to Your Highness, but Huan'er cares more about your safety."
"I promise, I will come back safely. Lu Yu will hold a banquet today and the military department will definitely relax a little bit. If I can't come back, you can leave the palace and find a good family to marry."
"Why don't you ask Mr. Gu for help?" After asking this question, Huan'er immediately understood the conversation between Gu Li and Xie Ningxia last time. "Your Majesty, Mr. Gu didn't explicitly say that he won't help us, as long as..."
"Huan'er, His Majesty also said that Gu Li is a rare talent, and I don't want to drag him into trouble. I'm going to go back quickly, and Huan'er will help me hold them off first."
Xie Ningxia left. Huan'er looked at the direction in which Xie Ningxia left and tears fell again. "Mother, Huan'er will always wait for you to come back."
Xie Ningxia observed outside the Ministry of War for a while. The guard was relatively lax tonight. When the officers and soldiers at the door were changing shifts, Xie Ningxiachen took the opportunity to sneak in and hide behind the rockery. The most difficult thing now is how to enter the room where confidential documents are stored.
Xie Ningxia had already made a plan. She took the files and left. Don't rush to leave through the gate. First, she hid in the place where Gu Li's palace worked. Gu Li should enter the palace tonight to attend the banquet. Xie Ningxia had already planned everything.
Xie Ningxia hid behind the rockery and waited for a long time before their officers and soldiers left. Xie Ningxia secretly sneaked into the room to look for the files on the expedition to the southwest. Thanks to the documents inside, they were carefully arranged in order, so it was easy to find them when searching.
Even though Xie Ningxia had planned everything, she still accidentally knocked a book into the ground. After hearing the noise, the officers and soldiers outside were approaching the room, so Xie Ningxia had no choice but to find another way out.
She looked up and saw a small window high up, just enough to get out. Xie Ningxia climbed out and left quickly. Xie Ningxia escaped carefully, but when she passed a room, she was suddenly pulled in by a hand. Xie Ningxia subconsciously shouted "Help"
.
Immediately, the officers and soldiers ran toward the room. The room was very dark. Xie Ningxia couldn't see the face of the person opposite. She heard the footsteps of the officers and soldiers getting closer and closer. Xie Ningxia felt that the person opposite took off his cloak and gave it to Xie Ningxia.
He put it on and then lighted the candles in the room without haste.
As soon as Xie Ningxia saw Gu Li's face clearly, the officers and soldiers outside were already knocking on the door, "Open the door. If you don't open the door, we will shoot arrows."
Gu Li just glanced at Xie Ningxia and opened the door without saying anything: "What's the matter?"
The officers and soldiers didn't know that Gu Li was inside, "Sir Gu, I'm chasing after someone who sneaked into the military headquarters. I wonder if Mr. Gu has seen it."
Gu Li turned around and walked towards Xie Ningxia. Xie Ningxia didn't trust Gu Li now, so she could only beg Gu Li pitifully with her eyes. Gu Li looked at Xie Ningxia for a while and finally gathered her cloak for Xie Ningxia, "Sneaking into the Ministry of War secretly? This is a capital crime, please.
You must catch this person."
When those officers and soldiers saw Mr. Gu and a woman in the room, they understood everything and said directly: "Yes, sir, we will do our best to arrest this person." This chapter has been completed!
