Chapter 624: It’s a good time

Xie Changyuan nodded, "First find out the situation around the palace... The front of the palace is the main street, there are many guards, and there will be fewer people in the back alleys."

"Ah."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, "The corner door in the back leads to Miaoshan Hall... the people there are all our own, and you will have opportunities if you cooperate with them."

"That's good...I'll go out tonight."

The brother and sister made a tentative agreement.

The next time passed very slowly.

Hongxiu and the others came to report every once in a while. The guards outside were tight, and the back alley was even more heavily guarded.

Probably these Longlin Guards also know that if someone inside wants to escape, the back alley is the most likely place to escape.

The sky darkened little by little, and soon it was so dark that no light could be seen.

Aunt Li and the others prepared dinner.

Xie Changyuan thought about Xie Zhaozhao's body and persuaded her to be more careful.

It's just that Xie Zhaozhao really didn't have an appetite, so he just took two bites.

At this time, she was standing on the corridor in front of Han Yuexuan. Looking from a distance, she could see the light of torches surrounding the palace.

The noise that would normally come in the evening disappeared tonight, leaving only silence.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the firelight and murmured: "I wonder how Yun Qi is doing in the palace?"

……

It was dark, and all the imperial doctors gathered at Yulongtai.

Emperor Xuanwu had been in a state of confusion for ten days, spending only half an hour awake every day.

After diagnosing the pulse, the imperial doctor determined that he was poisoned, and the poison has now found its source - a pot of green plants given to His Majesty by His Royal Highness King Dingxi some time ago.

It was a pot of plant grown through special means. The volatile smell mixed with the smell of the incense that Emperor Xuanwu burned every day when he chanted sutras, and became a deadly poison.

Now it was discovered early, so the imperial doctor still had time to treat him.

If it were discovered any later, I'm afraid His Majesty's life would be at stake here.

This fact is really a big deal.

After the imperial doctor found out about this matter, Emperor Xuanwu happened to wake up briefly and immediately reported it to him.

Emperor Xuanwu was so frightened and angry that he took Yunqi, the king of Dingxi who had entered the palace to meet the emperor, to be put under house arrest in Anle Palace.

Today is the third day that Yun Qi has been under house arrest in Anle Hall.

However, the reason for His Majesty's poisoning and Yun Qi's house arrest has always been kept very secret here at Yulongtai, but for some reason, it spread everywhere and caused uproar outside.

Now Li Lu locked up all the people who knew about the matter and asked the people below to ask questions one by one.

The incident spread as a royal scandal.

Coupled with Yun Qi's identity and the strong supporters and wife family behind him, if they are restless, there may be even greater disasters.

However, everything was pointed at Yun Qi, and Emperor Xuanwu was furious. When he was awake today, he directly asked Long Linwei to seize control of the Dingxi Palace and pursue the poisoning matter with all his strength.

The prince stood under the corridor of Yulongtai, looking very solemn.

He had been wanting to see Emperor Xuanwu for the past two days, but he was rejected by Emperor Xuanwu.

Emperor Xuanwu was awake when he came today, but his request to see him was still rejected. Now Emperor Xuanwu is unconscious again.

The prince came and went slowly under the corridor of Yulong Terrace. He heard footsteps not far away. He stepped forward quickly and said, "Eunuch Li——"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Li Lu saluted the Crown Prince, "You have many things to do and are busy with official business. Why are you still here so late?"

"Eunuch Li knows why Gu is here."

The prince said calmly: "I'm afraid there is something fishy about my father's poisoning. Please ask Eunuch Li——"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Lu spoke quickly, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said to the Crown Prince: "Your Majesty has never held His Royal Highness accountable, and this matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness." "Your Highness, please calm down. Don’t interfere!”

The prince frowned, "How to calm down?"

It was his father who was poisoned, and it was his son who was heavily suspected.

How can this not matter? How can we not interfere?
Li Lu sighed: "I also know that His Highness is in trouble and worried, but this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface... You also know that His Majesty has always been somewhat dissatisfied with His Highness King Dingxi."

"Now the evidence of this matter points to King Dingxi. You have asked too many questions. If His Majesty also has doubts about you, then..."

Li Lu was silent for a moment and advised: "That's all I said, you have to decide what's right for you. Your Majesty said he won't see you. Even if you come as usual tomorrow, you still won't see him."

After Li Lu said this, he left quickly.

The prince stood in front of the Dragon Control Platform, looking at the countless imperial guards in front of the closed palace gate, and slowly closed his eyes.

After a while, the prince threw up his sleeves and left quickly.

When he left the palace, he passed by the Anle Hall.
It was heavily guarded there, almost like an iron barrel.

The prince glanced around and didn't stop even half a step, even moving three points faster.

……

In the Anle Hall, Yun Qi sat cross-legged on the couch by the window, his eyes slightly closed and his expression calm.

Everything was as expected and going according to his plan.

The worse the situation is now, the greater his gains will be in the future. I wonder how it is outside, Zhaozhao?
In fact, Xie Zhaozhao used to have a very calm and wise temperament, but it seems that after becoming pregnant, his temperament has become softer and more sentimental.

Even if she knew it was a trick, she would still be worried.

Yun Qi opened his eyes slightly and looked steadily at the floor in front of him, as if he could see Xie Zhaozhao's beautiful and worried face from there.

Yun Qi murmured: "It will be fine."

Just this once, everything will be fine after this.

……

The hours are getting later, and the night is getting darker and darker.

The sky is full of stars tonight, but it is a dark night without a moon, which gives Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Changyuan a chance.

Xie Zhaozhao ordered people to prepare for more than an hour and always pay attention to Miaoshan Hall.

The person from Miao Shan Tang was Yun Qi's confidant and was also extremely smart.

The people in the house and the people in Miaoshan Hall had never met, but they agreed on the time to take action through the sound of the watchman's bang.

At the end of Haishi, smoke suddenly billowed from the back alley of Dingxi Prince's Mansion and a fire broke out.

"The water is gone, the water is gone!"

Someone yelled, and in the blink of an eye, people were running around in the back alley, and the scene was out of control.

Long Linwei, who was guarding the back alley, was choked by the thick smoke and couldn't see clearly. He told the people not to rush around, but now that it was important to escape for his life when there was a fire, who could care?
Seeing that the time had come, Xie Changyuan patted Xie Zhaozhao hard on the shoulder and said, "I'll go out right away. You stay at home and stay at ease. I'll take care of things outside. Don't worry."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded: "Fifth brother, be careful."

Xie Changyuan also nodded.

He had changed into night clothes, and using the thick smoke and the people running outside as cover, he jumped up and took the opportunity to disappear into the night.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the direction in which his back disappeared. He was silent for a long time, and then said coldly: "Go and ask, if you want the soldiers from our house to help put out the fire."

Hongxia said "yes" and left, then came back after a while and said, "No need to say yes."

Xie Zhaozhao pulled his lips and smiled: "Oh, no need to forget it."
