Chapter 184
The night was quiet, and the night in the capital was as quiet as ever.The shops on the street had long been closed, and there were not many people left in the night market, only a few teams of soldiers from the Imperial City Division patrolling the streets and alleys.

On the outskirts of the capital, Xiao Sui leaned on his wheelchair and watched the mechanism open in front of him, revealing the entrance of the secret passage.

20 years.

Twenty years ago, he was isolated and helpless, and fled in a hurry from the secret passage with his youngest son.Now he came to this secret passage again, everything is ready.

"Lord."

The subordinate came to his side and said in a low voice, "The young master sent a message that the soldiers of the Imperial City Division on duty have withdrawn, and we can act now."

Xiao Sui took out a black mask from his sleeve and tied it behind his head, leaning on the armrest, he stood up from the wheelchair.

"it is good."

The trouser legs drooped down, revealing a piece of wood.

Even for Li Mingji who was raised by himself, Xiao Sui didn't fully trust him, for example - he concealed the fact that he could walk normally.

Having been entrenched in Yangzhou for many years, he invited the best craftsmen in Yangzhou, changed more than a dozen materials, and finally created this pair of prosthetic limbs. After years of training, Xiao Sui is no different from a normal person.

However, this prosthesis cannot be used for a long time, otherwise his original leg will also be in unbearable pain.So most of the time, he is still in a wheelchair.

Tonight's time is enough to deal with the emperor of the Yong Dynasty.

"go!"

He walked down the dark passage first, followed by a group of people in disguise, and disappeared into the night with him.

……

Imperial city tower.

The guarding soldiers held their spears and stood upright.

With a louder beating, his shift was over.The soldier relaxed his body, yawned, put away his spear, nodded with the soldiers on shift as usual, and walked down the tower.

The more I walked, the more I felt wrong.

Why are there less than half of the soldiers on duty tonight?Could it be that there was some urgent matter and he was transferred away?
The soldier staggered down the steps and yawned several times, feeling that he would be particularly sleepy tonight.Could it be that you haven't had a good rest these days?

Looking back inadvertently, the soldier rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was so sleepy that he was unconscious, otherwise why would he feel that there was a fire on the tower? ……etc!
The soldier's face changed, and he grabbed the spear in his hand, "Who is it!"

A flying arrow fell from the sky and pierced his forehead.

The soldier's eyes widened and he fell to the ground.

……

The wind in the capital seems to be getting a little stronger tonight.

Shu Yao lay flat on the bed, staring at the carved begonias on the top of Ba Bu's bed.

The wind was rustling, and even the Persian cat curled up on the couch was frightened. With a "meow", it jumped onto the bed in panic, stepped on Shu Yao's chest through the quilt, and wagged its big tail .

Shu Yao fished it into her arms, patted its back comfortingly, and took a long time to calm the cat down.

She has no one to coax her, I really envy the kitten.

This was the most restless night for Shu Yao to sleep.

Li Mingji was called to the palace by Emperor Yong's edict in the afternoon, and he has not come back yet, otherwise he should have come to Haitang Courtyard to accompany her.

There must be something big happening in the imperial city in the near future.Li Mingji and uncle, they all noticed it.

Shu Yao felt nothing a few days ago, but as time went by, that feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense.Especially in these few nights, she was having the same dream repeatedly, dreaming of her wedding with Xie Yanzhou, dreaming of Xiao Sui attacking the city.

Although most of the things in the dream didn't happen, Shu Yao always felt that the dream was inextricably linked with reality, but somehow changed the direction.

Moreover, that group of rebels had a strange attitude towards her.Not long after she was locked up, guards came in and took her to a palace, separated from Emperor Yong's family, and brought Chunrui and Songzhen.

She was also taken away by the disciple who was suspected to be quite powerful in the rebel army...

The more I think about it, the more restless I become.

Shu Yao felt that she couldn't lie here anymore.

This time is just right, she can directly tell Emperor Yong that she couldn't sleep at night because of the nightmare, dreaming that Xiao Sui led troops to attack the imperial city, and asked her uncle to make more preparations.

Putting down the Persian cat, Shu Yao got up and called out to the door: "Pine needles—"

No one answered.

Shu Yao finally realized what was wrong, put on her coat and hurried out of the small courtyard, and heard Chunrui arguing with a stranger outside the door.

"Master Su will not rest in peace. I will do justice for the heavens and wipe out the treacherous and charming concubine. Please Princess Huaxi come out, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

"Su Qin's official career was not going well, his sword went sideways, and he killed himself in the Chengqian Palace, but our princess never went out and never provoked him. What does his death have to do with our princess?"

Su Qin, Lord Su...

It was the official who crashed and died in Chengqian Palace in the dream!

No wonder Shu Yao always felt restless tonight.The prophecy in the dream came true, Xiao Sui broke into the imperial city and used her as an excuse to provoke a rebellion!

How to do how to do?
As her mind became more and more blank, Shu Yao stepped back in the direction of the Begonia Courtyard, and bumped into a tall and slender figure.

"...Li Mingji?"

Shu Yao was slightly taken aback, grabbed Li Mingji's hand, and pulled him into the room, "Come with me!"

The imperial city is her home, where she grew up.Moreover, the rebels came after her, and it was impossible for her to escape, so as few innocent people as possible could be implicated, the better.

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Li Mingji paused, and put away the words he was about to say.Outside the door are Xiao Sui's people, knowing his relationship with Shu Yao, they will not hurt Shu Yao right now, but Li Mingji is not going to spare their lives either.

But Shu Yao quickly opened the mother-of-pearl lacquer dowry beside her bed, grabbed a drawer of gold jewelry and ran out, stuffing them all into Li Mingji's arms.

"They won't hurt me for the time being, I'll go with them. You take these away, and ask the rest of the servants in the house to bring some money, and escape quickly."

The capital will not be peaceful for a few days, the sooner you can escape, the better, these things are enough for Li Mingji to avoid this disaster.Shu Yao remembered that she hadn't heard the news of Emperor Yong's death when she died. As long as she survived for a few more years, her uncle would definitely be able to hold on to the Great Yong River.Just thinking of her own ending, she couldn't help but shed tears, and her tone was a little hopeless: "This princess will die soon... In short, you put these away and escape to live."

The noise was getting closer.

How could the guards of the princess mansion stop the rebels.Shu Yao collected herself, tightly held the token given to her by Emperor Yong, and urged, "Li Mingji, hurry up!"

She could feel Li Mingji's trance.

What is he doing in a daze at this time?
"Li Mingji..."

He seemed to smile.

It was her familiar smile, cold and gentle, but for some reason, it made people shrink back.

"Jiaojiao is so kind to me."

She has agreed to her uncle's marriage offer, can she not treat him well?She really loves Li Mingji, but how likely is Li Mingji to win against that apprentice?Deng Tuzi is so crazy, maybe he will directly kill Li Mingji.

The black shadow moved, and the group of people had already broken into the small courtyard. The leader kicked open the door and shouted: "Where is Princess Huaxi?"
