Hearing the old eunuch's sharp cry, Tang Ji and Xiao Linzi's hearts began to beat fast.
Han Xinrong turned around and walked to the front of the team and whispered to Xiao Linzi: "A maid died in Concubine Li's palace. I will ask Xi Guan Bureau to find some smart people to collect the body. Remember not to make too much noise.
"
Xiao Linzi opened his mouth in surprise. Concubine Li was famous for being cruel and ruthless in the palace. Almost every other day, a dead palace maid would be pulled out of Lishu Palace, but this time it was only half the time since the last time.
It had only been a month. However, even His Majesty turned a blind eye to this matter, and they, as slaves, did not dare to discuss it. The top priority was to send Tang Ji out first, and they quickly responded: "Yes."
Han Xinrong nodded slightly and waved for the eunuchs to leave. Just as he continued to move forward, his nose itched unbearably. He quickly reached for a handkerchief, but the beige handkerchief fell to the ground. He also stood there and slapped himself.
He sneezed, stretched out his hand to rub his nose, and murmured: "Looks like I have to go to the hospital soon!"
He bent down to pick up the handkerchief, and accidentally glanced at the team of eunuchs who had just left. He saw that the figure following Xiao Linzi was moving a little strangely, and there was doubt in his eyes. There were no new eunuchs in the palace recently.
The eunuch couldn't let the erratic eunuch walk outside the palace at will, so he couldn't help but stood up quickly: "Wait a minute, Xiao Linzi, what happened to the person behind you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Linzi's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he still couldn't hide it from the old man's eyes. He remembered the princess's instructions and quickly reminded him: "Young Master Tang, leave quickly!"
After saying this, he ordered the team to move forward. He stopped and walked towards Han Xinrong: "Manager Han, what's the matter? Do you have anything else to say to the slaves?"
"Get out of my way." Han Xinrong had already discovered the clue, pushed him away, and shouted towards the retreating team: "Stop all of you, or else we will deal with it according to the palace regulations!"
After hearing his words, everyone stopped, except for the "eunuch" at the front who continued to move forward.
"Wantless, can't you hear what I'm saying?" Han Xinrong's eyes were already filled with anger, and he started to follow him. Unexpectedly, the figure started running wildly, and turned into another palace road in the blink of an eye. Only then did he realize what was going on.
He turned to Xiao Linzi and shouted: "Who was that person just now?"
Xiao Linzi was so frightened that he fell to his knees: "Deputy Manager Han, I don't know!"
"Don't you know who the person following you is?" Han Xinrong asked again and said nothing more. The identity of the other party is not important now. The key is that he colluded with the eunuchs to sneak into the imperial city and even entered the harem. If this matter is spread,
His Majesty has heard that things may change in their Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they need to catch the person first before the matter spreads!
Thinking of this, he pointed his finger at Xiao Linzi and said: "Get him for me, and the others will follow me to chase him!"
Immediately, a group of eunuchs quickly chased towards the palace road where Tang Ji disappeared.
As time went on, the incident became more and more serious, alarming the Imperial City's Forbidden Army and Yunxiao Guards. The search team had increased to a thousand people, and they wished they could turn the entire harem upside down.
...
In the evening, several afterglow clouds intertwined on the horizon, making people want to take a few more glances. On the street not far from the palace gate, Li Yu was wandering anxiously. Song Xiao had already told him what happened.
Thinking of something like this happening on the first day after arriving in Kyoto, he said a little upset: "You should let Tang Ji and the others wait for me at Zhaolin Palace!"
"Yes, I know my mistake." Song Xiao said with his fists clasped.
Jiu'er, who was standing aside, said softly: "Your Majesty, my young lady and uncle should be fine, right?"
Li Yu sighed, it's really hard to say. The rules in the palace are strict. No matter what the reason is, sneaking into the harem is a capital crime. I just hope they can get out smoothly.
After a few people waited for a while, they saw a group of palace maids appearing at the palace gate in the distance. After being interrogated by the imperial guards, they came out. A figure among them quickly caught their attention.
"Little..." Jiu'er was about to shout, but Li Yu covered his mouth.
The latter ordered to Song Xiao: "Song Xiao, bring Sister Jiang over. Let's find a place to sit down first to avoid suspicion."
Song Xiao responded with clasped fists and quickly walked towards the street ahead.
From time to time, in a nearby restaurant box, Jiu'er threw herself into Jiang Ran's arms: "Miss, how are you? Jiu'er is so worried about you."
"I'm fine." Jiang Ran touched her head to reassure her, then turned to Li Yu, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, and asked, "Is Tang Ji out?"
Li Yu put down the teacup, shook his head, and asked: "Isn't he with you?"
Jiang Ran shook his head slightly and briefly explained the separation between the two in the palace. He intertwined his hands and looked out the window uneasily.
Seeing this, Li Yu quickly stood up and comforted him: "Sister Jiang, don't worry, that guy has many tricks up his sleeve, and he will definitely come out safe and sound."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Song Xiao burst in from the door.
"How's it going? But Tang Ji came out?" Li Yu turned around and faced him. He glanced behind him but found no one.
Song Xiao took a breath, clasped his fists and said: "Prince Qi, I just got the news. It is said that a man disguised as a eunuch sneaked into the palace. Now the imperial army has blocked the harem and is searching for him with all his strength."
Hearing this, Jiang Ran nervously widened his jade eyes and asked anxiously: "What should I do?"
Li Yu pursed his red lips and held his chin in his hand. The harem was sealed. Tang Ji would definitely not be able to escape. In the past, it was not only difficult to keep him, but he would even get involved, but they were brothers who lived together and died together.
, it is impossible to sit idly by, please wave your sleeves and stop worrying: "I will go to the palace to ask for someone. Sister Jiang, please bring the wine back to the house first. Song Xiao, send two people to escort me."
"Yes!" Song Xiao responded and quickly chased after him.
Jiang Ran knew that not causing trouble for them at this time was the best help to Tang Ji. He held his hands against his chest and prayed softly: "You must come back safely."
Jiu'er also imitated her behavior and murmured: "God, please bless my uncle to be safe and prosperous. Jiu'er is willing not to eat delicious food all day tomorrow!"
...
The time is getting late and the sky is getting darker.
At this time, behind a heavy red-painted door in the harem, a figure saw a group of forbidden soldiers holding torches leaving. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, leaning on the back wall behind him, feeling desolate in his heart: "It's over now, I can't find you.
They will definitely not give up until I get there. It’s great that the male protagonist is the first to die when he enters the capital. This is the end of the book!”
At this moment, the footsteps of soldiers were heard not far away. Tang Ji was so frightened that his knees accidentally touched the door.
"Squeak~"
The door shook slightly and there was a sound.
The Imperial Guards are all well-trained, and no matter how subtle the sound is, they cannot escape their ears. The leader of the team was pointing at the red painted door and shouting: "The person is right there, search!"
