auspicious time has come

Jiang Zhengfu sat cross-legged on the straw couch without even opening his eyes.

When Liu Qian saw this, a sneer flashed in his eyes: "Master Jiang has been reluctant to write the statement of guilt because he just wanted to delay time... But His Highness doesn't care about such dispensable things at all, and Mr. Jiang's calculations are doomed. It's going to fail."

Only then did Jiang Zhengfu open his eyes and look at him. Days of detention and suffering hadn't faded away the sharpness in his eyes: "Liu Qian——Li Wei poisoned the saint with the help of a stray dog ​​like you, right?"

This matter was exposed, but Liu Qian did not see panic.

After all, who gets flustered by what a dying person says?

He stood there leisurely, and said: "We have met for a while, His Highness intends to protect the dignity of the nobles for Mr. Jiang, and I hope Mr. Jiang will not be ignorant of flattery—"

The waiter had already brought the drink to Jiang Zhengfu.

Jiang Zhengfu got up slowly, but raised his sleeves and swung the wine cup off the tray.

With a sound of "Dang--", the wine cup shattered and splashed.

"I, Jiang, became an official at a young age. I have been an official for [-] years, and I deserve nothing! How can I get the rebel Li Wei and you and other castrates to commit the so-called death act on this trumped-up charge!"

Liu Qian sneered angrily: "Master Jiang really has a good character! If you don't want to die on your own, then don't blame me for being unable to take care of your face for Master Jiang... It doesn't matter how important the subordinates are, so please invite Jiang Your Excellency, please bear with me!"

The servant took out the prepared white silk, and suddenly wrapped it around Jiang Zhengfu's neck.

Bai Ling was tightened in the hands of the servant, who was already very sick inside, but Jiang Zhengfu, who was only supporting the majestic Jiang Zhengfu on the outside, was struggling with all his might.

Looking at the embarrassing appearance of Zhongshu Lingbu, who used to be aloof, as if the eunuchs would feel dirty if they looked at them more, Liu Qian only felt very happy in his heart.

"Wait a minute—"

It was at this time that a voice suddenly came.

Liu Qian looked back, saw the person coming, and was slightly taken aback: "Why did the immortal master come here?"

"Come here at the order of Your Highness." Immortal Master Puzhen, who was accompanied by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Taoist priest, approached slowly, and looked at Jiang Zhengfu indifferently: "Your Highness has something to say, and let this man live for now. Your Highness has other uses."

Now everyone in the palace knows that he is highly valued by Princess Yongyang, and the servant immediately let go of the white silk in his hand upon hearing this.

However, Liu Qian was dubious: "...Why did Your Highness send you, Master Immortal, to pass on the message?"

"This matter is very important because Pindao made a very ominous hexagram last night..." Immortal Master Puzhen did not go into details, but looked at Jiang Zhengfu with an inscrutable expression, "The key to resolving this hexagram lies in this person. "

Liu Qian's eyes moved: "The meaning of the immortal master means..."

He subconsciously listened to it, but in the next moment, a towel suddenly covered his mouth and nose. Before he had time to react, he felt his limbs become weak with his breathing, his eyes fell into a blank, and he soon lost consciousness.

The servant next to Jiang Zhengfu was also stunned by the Taoist in the same way.

The next moment, Master Jiang, who had escaped from death, saw the Immortal Master Puzhen, who was like a bone fairy, took out a bundle of hemp rope from the wide sleeve of his robe, and threw it to his apprentice: "Quick, tie him up! "

"Master Jiang, hurry up and put on the robes and scarves of this servant... Although the guards outside were fainted by the poor medicine, they will wake up soon, we have to leave here as soon as possible! Immortal Master Puzhen went to pick off the servant's robe, while urging Jiang Zhengfu, his tone full of urgency to run for his life.

"Master Immortal...why do you want to save Jiang?" Jiang Zhengfu asked in bewilderment.

"This is what the Marquis of Dingbei told me earlier...Let Pindao try to ensure Lord Jiang's safety no matter what!" Immortal Master Puzhen replied while helping Jiang Zhengfu change his robes.

"Jing Shi..." Jiang Zhengfu suddenly said, "Is this false allegiance to Li Wei by the Immortal Master also a sign from Jing Shi?"

Immortal Master Puzhen nodded sadly.

Where is the hint——

It is clearly coercion!

That Ding Beihou didn't do anything about personnel, he only said that if he refused to do so, he would tell the story that he was the prince's eyeliner - so how could he survive?
But at the same time, Dingbeihou also revealed to him that the prince is still alive, as long as he works hard, he will have a bright future in the future——

Immortal Master Puzhen felt that she was a horse at this time, and had no choice but to run forward after the big cake painted by Hou Dingbei.

As for simply staying to serve Princess Yongyang?

Not to mention the day when the North Marquis cheats the corpse back and exposes his affairs, just talking about the viciousness of that woman's heart, the Princess Yongyang, is beyond what he can bear—

The woman was going crazy all the time, and every time he heard those crazy words, he felt suspicious of life, felt chills all over his body, and even had nightmares at night, but she still pretended to be unfathomable on the surface, and was forced to accompany her. She goes crazy together!
In the days when he was going crazy with others, he really couldn't go on acting for a day!
He can only put all his eggs in one basket and gamble with Dingbeihou!

Fortunately, Marquis Dingbei's Huabing returned to Huabing, but his requirements were not too high. Knowing that he could not hurt the extremely wary eldest princess, he told him that he only needed to wait for the opportunity to take down the eunuch Liu Qian——

Therefore, even though he was eager to run away at this time, Immortal Master Puzhen did not forget to take Liu Qian with him.

Liu Qian's trip was to bestow Jiang Zhengfu's death, so a rattan trellis for collecting corpses had been prepared outside. Immortal Master Puzhen and his disciples worked together to lift Liu Qian onto the trellis, covered him with a white cloth, and signaled that he was pretending to be a corpse. The servant Jiang Zhengfu came to carry him: "The situation forces me to wrong Master Jiang for the time being!"

Facing this slightly outrageous situation, Jiang Zhengfu, who had narrowly escaped death, did not hesitate for a moment. He raised the rattan frame one after the other with the Taoist disciple, and followed Immortal Master Puzhen who recovered his immortal posture with a flick of the whisk. Left here behind.

It is now known in the palace that Immortal Master Puzhen is valued by Princess Yongyang, and the "Tales of God's Will" from Immortal Master Puzhen's mouth are widely circulated, so this time even though she personally came to collect the corpse for "Jiang Zhengfu" However, the palace people didn't feel too much strange when they saw it, and they didn't dare to look directly at it or ask about it carefully.

So, in the dark, Jiang Zhengfu followed the other party out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But this method can only be fooled for a while, and it is too eye-catching to carry a "corpse" in the palace. Li Wei's subordinates will soon realize that something is wrong, so Jiang Zhengfu asked in a low voice: "Where is the immortal master going?" Where to go?"

"Going out of the palace..." Immortal Master Puzhen said: "Let's try to use the name of the eldest princess to get out of the palace..."

Jiang Zhengfu frowned slightly. He felt that this proposal was too risky and unreliable. After all, ordinary palace people in the palace did not mention it. with other feasible strategies.

But at this time, there was a very loud and sharp noise resounding directly above the palace.

Jiang Zhengfu's eyes trembled, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the strange noise.

……

A quarter of an hour ago.

Facing the interrogation by the inner palace guards, Qi Zhen opened the corner of the car curtain and said solemnly: "I was ordered by His Highness to go out to the palace for business, and now I am returning to the palace to return to the palace. "

The two imperial guards all knew her and knew that she was the most trustworthy person around the eldest princess. After hearing the words, they looked at each other and let her go.

Before entering the palace, those who followed the carriage casually disappeared, and the token of Princess Yongyang that Qi Zhen carried was also hung on the front of the carriage.

Along the way, the imperial guards who saw the token avoided one after another.

Inside the carriage, the dagger in Lan Qing's hand was always pressed against Qi Zhen's lower back.

But it doesn't mean that this order is hung in front of the car, it means that there is no forbidden place in the palace, and everything can be unimpeded——

As expected, the carriage was stopped by the guards in front of the White Marble Bridge leading to the Hall of Yanying: "Who actually drove horses and horses outside the Hall of Yanying? Do you know what crime it is for crashing in front of the Hall of Yanying!"

The carriage was forced to stop, Heng Yu estimated the time, looked at each other and nodded with the prince.

Lan Qing first pushed Qi Zhen out of the carriage.

The line of guards recognized Qizhen, and when they were about to ask questions, they saw another girl getting out of the car. The girl's dress was messy, and there were bloodstains on her body and face, but her expression was calm and calm——

The guards were stunned when they saw this: "Why did you drive your horses into the Yanying Palace?!"

At this moment, a group of thousand cavalry guards who were patrolling past here also came over to check the situation.

As soon as the guard finished speaking, he saw another person coming down from the car. The young man's robe was also dirty and bloodstained, but his face was...

"...His Royal Highness?!"

Several guards were shocked and looked at the person in front of them in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

The corpse of His Highness the Crown Prince is still in the Tai Chi Hall... Then what is in front of you? !

At this time, the sky was just dawn, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was covered in dirt but still dignified, stood in the twilight of dawn, falling in the eyes of everyone, extremely bizarre and weird.

And the Qianqi guard who went forward to check heard this exclamation, and when he saw the person in front of the chariot clearly, his face changed greatly.

The leader immediately drew his sword: "Presumptuous! Who dares to impersonate the late Crown Prince!"

Even if they were about to gather around, the leader would use pretense to cut off all possibilities and accidents. This is why Heng Yu and others dared to let the prince get off the carriage when they came outside the Yanying Hall—this thousand-year-old man in the palace The cavalry guards were already controlled by Li Wei, if not for this, the prince would have no chance of appearing in front of the officials at all.

Wang Jingyong, who was guarding the crown prince with Lan Qing on the left and right, swung a knife and cut off the leader's head without hesitation, held it in his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness returned to the palace and returned to court, you are being deceived, Now there is still a chance to make amends! If you insist on helping the rebels, you will end up like this man!"

This action greatly deterred the remaining thousand cavalry guards who didn't know the truth at all. After a few steps back, they all abandoned the swords in their hands and bowed down in panic: "His Royal Highness welcomes you back to the palace!"

Not far away, several officials who came to the early court heard this, and their feet suddenly stopped.

--what? !

--Who? !
But at this time, the several Ming Dysprosiums that Heng Yu handed to Lan Qing in the carriage had circled up to the sky one after another, sending out sharp ringing sounds that resounded throughout the palace city.
