Chapter 49 Submission?

……

Soon, they searched the entire room and found no less than ten files on the case of Empress Zhenyuan's fire and the case of Prime Minister Su's adultery with the enemy and implicated in the case of nine clans.

Xiangyue sat down at the desk and looked it up carefully, just after finding out these files, the more she looked at them, the more serious her expression became, the more angry she was, her fists clenched harder and harder,

Rusu, who was watching from the side, showed deep worry on his face.

Finally, Xiangyue finished reading all the scrolls, and her eyes have been crying for a round. Relying on these, the truth of the year can be revealed slowly.
But she didn't understand why the truth was buried here, and what happened back then was not written here.

Another question arose in Xiangyue's mind, why didn't the late emperor bring the sinners to justice?Instead, it fulfilled them.

With these unknowns, Xiangyue said to Rusu:

"Put these all together, we have to take them out of the palace."

Sighing, she suddenly understood: "If you guess correctly, this place must be the Department of History and Economics. This is what the Queen Mother is afraid of."

"Ah." Rusu looked around with surprised eyes, such a small space is unbelievable.

At this time,

Fuyue looked at a certain place on the wall, she approached slowly, touched it with her hands,
With a "drip", she accidentally touched the mechanism, and the stone next to it opened. She looked around and saw a wooden box inside.

She stretched out both hands to take out the wooden box, keeping it intact, rubbed the dust on the surface, and immediately polished it. She carefully observed the surface of the box, it was not so easy to open, and the mechanism was extremely complicated.

At this time, Rusu had already wrapped the dossier with clothes, and she was ready to leave with her shoulders.

"Your Majesty, are we going to leave at this time? The sky outside is probably still dark."

Hear this,

Xiangyue took off a piece of clothing, and the wooden box was wrapped up quite a bit, and it took up one of her waist when she carried it on her back.

Subsequently,

She went to the desk and picked up the sword, took out the torch at her waist and blew it on, blowing out the candles, turned around and left here.
-
The two returned the same way, and just as they were about to show their heads, they saw the guards patrolling outside. Fortunately, Xiangyue reacted quickly and shrank back.
After waiting for a while, she poked her head quietly again, and crawled out when she saw no one.
Rusu followed closely behind, and when she came up, she nervously closed the wooden plank and recovered a bit,
The two fled.

Along the way, the two of them were cautious and clever, so they escaped from the palace smoothly and went to the bamboo forest they were familiar with outside the palace.

When it was almost time for Chaoyang to show up, the two quickened their pace.

——At the same time, the concubines' bedrooms in the palace were guarded by guards.

All the empresses in the palace looked puzzled and at a loss,

There was such a big commotion in the palace overnight, and they couldn't help worrying that if the emperor was really murdered, what should they do, what should they do, thinking about it, they all felt restless.

The imperial concubine sitting on the couch sighed:
"I don't know what happened to Daddy."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Lord Shangshu has a high official position and strong strength. If the emperor is really unlucky, they must also need Lord Shangshu's prestige to win over other ministers."

Hearing Bihuai's words, the imperial concubine was still uneasy. After all, her father had always been loyal to the queen mother, so no matter how they thought about it, they would have grudges.

Seeing her mother's appearance like this, Bihuai didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only silently wait by her side.
-
On the other side, Muxi Palace.

"Your Majesty, the palace is in such a mess now, tell me, will Master be okay?"

Bamboo Warbler clasped her fingers, extremely worried.

Seeing Mrs. Xi Gui, she was quite calm, she frowned and said:
"Father is so attached to the Queen Mother, accidents are inevitable."

"Ma'am, are you not worried at all?"

"So what can we worry about, even we are trapped here now, we can't go anywhere, if Dad surrenders, maybe we can survive."

Although Xi Guiren's tone was flat, the sadness in his eyes was still revealed.

Zhuying saw that the empress was a knife-mouthed bean curd heart, so she comforted:
"Your Majesty, this servant knows that you are also worried about the master, Your Majesty, you will be fine."

"It's comforting me this time." Mr. Xi forced a smile, and continued:

"Otherwise, think about how to escape?"

"Ah?" Zhu Ying's eyes widened: "Your Majesty, there are guards guarding the door."

"Then climb over the wall and get out." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Zhuying.

Bamboo Warbler wrinkled her face and said:
"It's too risky, ma'am. If she is discovered, she might die on the spot." After speaking, she shook her head repeatedly.

Mr. Xi, looking at the other party's timid appearance, said without hesitation:
"If you are afraid, then I will go by myself. I don't want to stay like this forever. If I can leave the palace, then I will go to Su Yan. Maybe there will be a turnaround."

"Your Majesty, you trust Su Zhugong too much, he might not be able to protect himself in the battlefield now."

"Bah, bah... what are you talking about?"

Seeing the eyes of the empress staring at her, Zhu Ying immediately admitted her mistake:

"I'm sorry, empress, the slave is wrong, but empress."

Before she could say the second half,
Xi Guiren interrupted: "There is no but, let's act tonight."

"Ok."

Zhuying looked at the other party's firm eyes, and could only helplessly respond, who made the other party her master, and she followed the master unconditionally.

At this time,

Mr. Xigui had a flash of inspiration, and when he thought of something, he asked, "I don't know how sister Liu is?"

Bamboo Warbler replied shallowly:

"What else can I do? It must be the same. I will be imprisoned in the palace." After speaking, she took out the cloth and prepared to pack her bags.

Xi Guiren looked at it and packed it up too.

-

Outside the palace, the Xu Mansion was surrounded by Zou Changqing and his men.

The Xu family, old and young, were all trapped here,
Zou Changqing stared at Xu Shaoxian and finally asked:
"Prime Minister, you can understand that Xu's power is gone. Now is a good time to find another monarch. Don't disappoint the last chance given to you by the Eleventh King."

At this time, Xu Shaoxian remained silent, the anger in his heart had already burned to the top of his head, seeing his wife, children and family members surrounded in the courtyard, none of them dared to move.

At this time,

The Eleventh King had arrived at the gate of the Xu Mansion. He slowly opened the curtain, got out of the carriage, looked up at the plaque of the Xu Mansion, smiled contemptuously, and then strode forward into the mansion.
A subordinate is responsible for leading the way.

When they came to the compound, looking at the scene, the corners of their mouths could not help but rise in satisfaction, and walked past them to the lobby.

Seeing him coming, Zou Changqing immediately got up and said, "My lord."

The Eleventh King just smiled at him, then looked contemptuously at Xu Shaoxian and Xu Tuo, walked to the upper seat, and sat down.

"My lord, you are really resourceful. You have been hiding for so many years, and now you are so powerful that you can seal off the palace overnight and pledge loyal ministers at the same time. You are really stupid." Xu Shaoxian said through gritted teeth.

Xu Tuo on the side said in a tone: "It's all some insidious and cunning tricks."

Eleven King laughed instantly:
"Hahahaha, the second son is still so ignorant of current affairs, he was dismissed from his official position, demoted to a commoner, and he still has an arrogant face. It's really mud that can't support the wall."

After speaking, he threw a sharp look at Xu Tuo.

When Xu Tuo saw the other party looking at him like this, he immediately couldn't restrain his anger, and stood up abruptly. He wanted to yell at him, but his father stopped him.

"Tuo'er, sit down."

Listening to his father's order, he had no choice but to sit down obediently.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shaoxian said:
"As long as the prince releases my wife and children, I will obey the prince's orders."

The Eleventh King smiled wantonly:
"The prime minister knows the current affairs, well, let's take a trip to the prime minister's palace."

finished,

Eyes met Zou Changqing, the two of them coincidentally looked at each other and smiled.
