cabinet first lady

Chapter 62 At dawn, race against time

In the three days after telling Yin Ji how to trick Xie Zhao into the capital, Ruan Muyang never heard the news of Xie Zhao's arrest from Zhang Anyi, so he guessed that something might have gone wrong, and it was more complicated than she originally imagined. up.

Counting the days, it was already the sixth day after Emperor Ling's death.In late spring, when the weather gets warmer, corpses tend to rot easily. I am afraid that the smell of corpses will soon spread from the bedroom, and it will be impossible to hide it.

So eradicating Luo Jie and Xie Zhao is a race against time.

Ruan Muyang sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the lush green bamboos in the courtyard, his mind was spinning rapidly.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps.

Fang Fang walked in and said, "Ma'am, someone from the palace said that the empress asked you to enter the palace immediately."

Ruan Muyang's heart tightened.

I'm afraid Yin Ji borrowed the name of Queen Qiu.Sure enough, something went wrong.

Walking in after Fanglang was Zhang Anyi's guards who had arranged to guard the Zhang Mansion, Chuanyun Courtyard, and even watch over her.

Even though he was anxious and wanted to rush into the palace, Ruan Muyang still had a calm expression on his face, looked at the guards and said, "The empress summoned me, should I go or not? Do you want to report to the second master first? "

"This..." A look of embarrassment appeared on the guard's face.

The palace servants waited outside the courtyard, it was really too late to report to the second master before coming back.

The empress's edict cannot be resisted either.

The guard frowned, weighed it in his heart, and said: "The empress's edict cannot be disobeyed, and this subordinate personally escorts the madam."

"it is good."

Even though there were palace people following, the guards followed with six people, watching Ruan Muyang get off the carriage and enter the palace before giving up.

"You, go and tell the second master that the empress has called his wife into the palace."

"Yes."

The palace people still brought Ruan Muyang to the abandoned palace where they met Yin Ji last time.

Hearing footsteps, Yin Ji turned around.

"But what went wrong?" Ruan Muyang asked.

Yin Ji nodded, with a solemn expression: "King Yong'an is too careful. I sent someone to pretend to be Xu Hou's old department to contact his people and wanted to see him, but he was still unwilling to leave the post house for half a step. When I saw the edict, I was extra cautious. The Empress also sent a killer, but he was protected by guards in secret, so he couldn’t get it. If you directly issue an imperial edict to let him enter the palace, I’m afraid he will not only resist the edict, but also suspect it.”

Xie Zhao obviously came prepared.

If the action is too obvious, it will arouse Xie Zhao's suspicion.After all, Emperor Ling hasn't shown his face for a long time.

If he finds out, it would be bad to use the excuse that the Holy Majesty was murdered by a traitor to instigate the ministers and the army.

Many thoughts flashed through Ruan Muyang's mind, but he rejected them all in the end.At this time, if the success falls short, she will be extremely unwilling. "Then what else can I do?" Her tone was also a little dull.

"Right now, I still have an idea, but I don't have a concrete solution, and I don't know if it can be realized." Yin Ji's strategy is actually higher than Ruan Muyang's, but he just entered the official position when the late emperor was old, and he was still a small Hanlin. I don't have access to those core things at all, and I don't know much about them.The reason why Ruan Muyang can think of many ways is because she knows many little-known things.

When Yin Ji said this, he paid great attention to Ruan Muyang's expression, as if all this had something to do with her.

His voice is rare and serious, without the frivolity of the past.

That's what makes it serious.

Especially in such a palace where the spring is not warm and not a blade of grass grows.

Ruan Muyang asked him suspiciously: "Do you have any other thoughts? Tell me, maybe I can think about it with you."

Yin Ji walked out from the shadows, walked to the only corner of the palace where the sun could shine, turned around and looked at Ruan Muyang and said, "The Luo steps are no longer dangerous, and the biggest threat to King Yongan at this time is probably Mr. Zhang. But Mr. Zhang His actions are impeccable, so that King Yong'an will not be able to grasp the slightest clue. If he is allowed to catch a flaw, he will be overjoyed and overjoyed, and his vigilance will be relaxed at that time."

Ruan Muyang, who was still standing in the shadows, had a cold light in his eyes.

"What are you thinking of?"

Yin Ji smiled and said: "Mrs. Zhang is too worried. Although the official is now heavily relied on by the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince, he has no power or power in the court. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, he must have the support of important officials. This person must be Mr. Zhang. In the eyes of the empress, a subordinate official is also inferior to Mr. Zhang. With the current ability of the subordinate official, trying to get Mr. Zhang's idea is tantamount to shaking a big tree."

The mayfly shaking the tree is ridiculous.

But Yin Ji was well aware of his abilities, so he spoke very frankly, without seeming ridiculous at all.

Ruan Muyang looked at him carefully.

She remembered that Zhang Anyi had said that Yin Ji was by no means so simple, and there was nothing to be afraid of now, but not necessarily in the future.

But in the future, Zhang Anyi will become stronger.

She still has confidence in him.Thinking of this, her face softened a lot.

Seeing the relaxation of her face, Yin Ji's eyes flashed a trace of unclear emotion.Afterwards, he continued: "After the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he needs the support of Mr. Zhang, so as long as it does not threaten the status of the prince, the empress will tolerate it and will not easily touch Mr. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang should rest assured."

Everything he said was reasonable, Ruan Muyang felt that he was worrying too much.

"You can also trust me this time. Our goal is to eradicate Xie Zhao." Yin Ji said with sincerity in his eyes, "Besides, I don't have any concrete ideas yet, just talking about it."

Ruan Muyang remained silent, his eyes darkened.

Yin Ji didn't bother her either, he just stood there and looked at her.

On the eve of the death knell of the palace, under the chilling atmosphere, there was a rare tranquility.

Suddenly, a spring breeze blew and lifted their hair.

The darkness in Ruan Muyang's eyes also seemed to be dispelled.She looked at Yin Ji with clarity in her eyes. "What you said is indeed the only way. I know one thing that can make Xie Zhao very happy when he finds out, and most likely he will ask to enter the palace to face the saint. But, you must promise me one thing."

Yin Ji hooked his lips.He knew she had a way.

"Okay." He agreed without hesitation, "If Mrs. Zhang is worried, I can swear a poisonous oath."

Ruan Muyang nodded, tensed his body, clenched his fists with his hands hanging by his sides, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes and said: "That flaw is Shen Wei."

"Shen Wei is the son of former Dali Temple minister Shen Lian who secretly survived?" Yin Ji helped her investigate this matter at the beginning.

He frowned, feeling that the matter didn't seem strong enough.

Ruan Muyang nodded, then shook his head again, with a confident and determined smile on his lips: "That Shen Wei is not Shen Lian's son, but her daughter. She disguised herself as a man to take part in the imperial examination and even joined the cabinet. It is to rehabilitate Lord Shen Lian and Shen. My husband Zhang Anyi has always known about this."

Knowing a shocking secret again, Yin Ji looked at Ruan Muyang in surprise and even amazement.

How many secrets does she hide under her calm, calm and dignified appearance, and how much does she know?
He thought it was a big secret to know that Shen Wei was Shen Lian's son, but he didn't want to discover not all of them.Fortunately, he was still confident in this back then.

Shen Wei, a woman, tricked everyone into participating in the imperial examination and returning to the gold list, was selected into the Imperial Academy, and finally entered the cabinet under the emperor's nose.Zhang Anyi and Shen Wei are guilty of deceiving the emperor!
This is not an ordinary incident, but it challenges the majesty of the royal family and despises the supreme imperial power!Let Emperor Ling and even the first emperor lose all face and be ridiculed by future generations.

Therefore, the Holy One will not bear it!

Ruan Muyang could understand Yin Ji's surprise at this time, as if she knew it at the time, and digested it for several days. "If Xie Zhao knew about this, he would definitely feel that he had seized a huge and deadly handle, and he would go to the palace to face the saint regardless of everything." Her tone was calm, and her voice was like the sound of gurgling water, without any meaning obvious emotions.

But Yin Ji could imagine the scene she described in her voice.After her words fell, he naturally continued: "At that time, what awaits him will be surrounded by the imperial army, and it is justified to take him down in the name of resisting the decree."

Yes, Emperor Ling once decreed that anyone who approached the bedroom privately would be killed without mercy.

Ruan Muyang's heart was not as relaxed as Yin Ji's.Her heart was heavy.

This is the last time, after Xie Zhao died, she will no longer have any obsessions, and will never lie to him again.

Yin Ji felt her emotions, and very tactfully did not tease her as usual, saying that she was cold-hearted.

"What I asked you to promise me is that you can't let Xie Zhao tell the truth about this matter in public." Ruan Muyang didn't want Zhang Anyi to have an accident, nor did he want to harm Shen Wei.

"Okay, I promise you." Yin Ji looked at Ruan Muyang's downcast look, and couldn't help but sighed, "He may not appreciate you." Although she calculated Zhang Anyi into it, she maintained it everywhere. It's still him, but when the truth comes out, he may not understand her thoughts.

She will be the one who suffers at that time.

"I have my own measure in this matter."

Why didn't Ruan Muyang know?She had no choice but to use him. She loved him, so of course she couldn't see him in danger.

Yin Ji raised his head slightly, as if he was looking at the sky, or at the glazed tiles on the palace, and said in a distant tone, "I will order you in a while, and tell King Yong'an about Mrs. Shen's disguise as a man, and he will investigate immediately. Tomorrow if it is fast, and the day after tomorrow if it is slow, we will definitely see the outcome."

"Then wait until everything is known."

After separating from Yin Ji, Ruan Muyang left with the palace people, and saw Zhang Anyi standing there when he was almost at the gate of the palace.

Her heart skipped a beat.

"Why is Second Master here?"

Zhang Anyi smiled gently, straightened her hair that was blown up by the wind and said: "I heard that the queen suddenly called his wife into the palace, so come and have a look if you're worried."

The places close to the palace gate were heavily guarded, and he treated her nicely in full view of everyone, as if holding her on the tip of his heart and pampering her, which made Ruan Muyang blush and dared not look around .

"Does the second master want to go back with me?" she asked.

Zhang Anyi said: "No, I still have to go back to the cabinet. By the way, brother Jiang told me today, please trouble Madam to go to Jiangfu in a few days."

"Jiangfu?" Ruan Muyang asked suspiciously.

Zhang Anyi nodded: "He wants you to persuade Luo Yu, Luo Yu is now in Jiangfu."

Didn't Luo Yu already get the divorce certificate?

I'm afraid Jiang Hanyun also has feelings for Luo Yu.

Ruan Muyang's heart sank and he sighed.

The entire Luo family is in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and soon they will step into hell, Luo Yu must feel extremely uncomfortable.With hundreds of lives separated between them, it's hard to pretend that nothing happened, and it's probably impossible to go back.

"Okay. It's still early, I'll go directly to Jiangfu." Ruan Muyang, who got into the carriage and left under Zhang Anyi's gaze, heaved a sigh of relief.

She didn't see Zhang Anyi's eyes that were getting colder, and she didn't know that he had just inquired that the empress was not in Ganquan Palace today.

When he arrived at Jiang Mansion, Ruan Muyang went to pay Mrs. Jiang first.

"Mrs. Zhang is here. You are one of Luo Yu's best friends, please persuade her." Mrs. Jiang sighed and said, "This child is also our Jiang family who can't help her."

From Mrs. Jiang's tone, Ruan Muyang heard something unusual.

When the servants took her to Luo Yu's residence, when she saw Luo Yu, she was startled by Luo Yu's pale face.

"Luo Yu, how did you get into this state?"

Thinking back when I first met Luo Yu in Zhu's Mansion, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, charming and unruly, with a radiant look, but now she has become like this.

At this moment, Luo Yu's whole body is like a walking dead, with no business on his face.Her eyes moved only after hearing Ruan Muyang's voice. "You go down first." She said to her mother-in-law who was looking at her.

The mother-in-law looked at Ruan Muyang, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, Second Miss Luo."

After the mother-in-law left, Luo Yu looked at Ruan Muyang: "Sister Ruan, why are you here?"

"Master Jiang asked me to persuade you." Ruan Muyang looked at Luo Yu's figure and felt that she was thinner than last time, "Although from the standpoint of a bystander, you will think that I am standing up and talking It doesn’t hurt your back, but I still want to persuade you to think about it. The matter of the Luo family—it’s hopeless. Your Majesty is kind to you, and you should live a good life. I think Master Jiang treats you—or—"

Luo Yu interrupted Ruan Muyang's words: "I know how he treats me best. Besides, even if he really changes his mind, can we still be together? Sister Ruan, I'm in so much pain right now, I can't live or die. Being watched by people every day, life is better than death."

"How can you want to die?" Ruan Muyang held Luo Yu's hand.She didn't expect Luo Yu to have the thought of dying.

"I can't blame you for the Luo family's affairs. Even without you, your grandfather would—" After all, Luo Jie is Luo Yu's grandfather, and Ruan Muyang has to worry about her feelings.

Luo Yu's eyes turned red: "I know, grandfather - he has done a lot of bad things, and it's his own fault, so I don't blame anyone. But he is my grandfather after all. I originally wanted to talk to Luo Yu It would be a little easier for the whole family to die together, but now they are trapped here."

Her desperate appearance reminded Ruan Muyang of his previous life.

It was also a marriage full of purpose. In the end, the Ruan family was ruined by Xie Zhao, and she was the only one who survived.

When she knew the truth, she also wanted to die, and wanted to die with the Ruan family.

Later Xie Zhao sent someone to kill her.

Thinking about it now, if Xie Zhao hadn't sent someone to do it at that time, she might not be able to persist and would choose to commit suicide.

Thinking of this, and looking at Luo Yu's appearance, her eyes turned red with empathy. "Luo Yu, you have suffered." She pulled Luo Yulou into her arms.

In the past, she treated Luo Yu as her younger sister.

In Ruan Muyang's arms, Luo Yu finally burst into tears: "Sister Ruan, I really can't live anymore. In Jiangfu, looking at Jiang Hanyun, my heart is even more complicated. Sometimes I think of my relatives who are about to die. I will think of his kindness and feel guilty, please help me."

There are hundreds of lives between them, and it is the extermination of the clan, whoever is in Luo Yu's identity can't let it go.

The Luo Mansion was confiscated, and now Luo Yu was alone. After the people in the Luo Mansion were beheaded, the world would really be so big that there would be no place to stay.

A person who has nothing to miss in this world is really ashamed, just like what she said, he can't live anymore.

Ruan Muyang thought for a while, but he didn't even have a reason to persuade her to persevere and survive.

"You have to take care of yourself first." She didn't know how to persuade her.

Luo Yu leaned into her arms and nodded: "Jiang Hanyun said that he will let me go when I recover, and I will take care of him as soon as possible. I don't want to see my grandfather and the others for the last time."

Ruan Muyang lowered his eyes.

I'm afraid that even if she recovers well, Jiang Hanyun won't let her go.

This is mutual torture for the two of them.

We chatted with Luo Yu for a long time, and talked about many things before she got married. Ruan Muyang didn't leave until she drank the medicine and became sleepy.

Coming out of the room, she met Jiang Hanyun standing at the door.

For Jiang Hanyun, what he did was for righteousness, and the impeachment of Luo Jie to death will be recorded in the annals of history to be admired by future generations. Naturally, Ruan Muyang also admires him, but from the perspective of a woman, standing on Luo Yu's side, But she couldn't develop a good impression of Jiang Hanyun.

Her voice was involuntarily cold: "Women should never be involved in the machinations of the court. Luo Yu's thoughts are so simple, it was you who harmed her. If you didn't marry her, even if you are now in prison with the rest of the Luo family , She is fear and resentment at most, but she will never be as sad and desperate as she is now."

Ruan Muyang condemned every word and sentence extremely, Jiang Hanyun did not refute: "I did harm to her."

Seeing the pain in his eyes and the forbearance of looking at Luo Yu's closed door, Ruan Muyang sighed, and his tone softened: "I have tried all the methods, but it didn't work. Luo Yu has no way to survive." The reason. Are you going to keep her locked up like this?"

"If it's not like this, once she leaves the house, I'm afraid she will commit suicide." Jiang Hanyun clenched his hands behind his back tightly into fists.

"But if you lock her up, she will be tortured to death." Ruan Muyang paused, hesitated and said, "Now you can only find a way to give her a reason to live. Why have you been married for several years and have no children? "

Jiang Hanyun frowned tightly, and pursed his lips, as if it was hard to say: "We haven't consummated the house yet."

No wonder.

Ruan Muyang was afraid that he would be thinking about it, so he immediately reminded: "Using children to give her a reason to live is not the only way. If you do this, it will hurt her, and it will only make her hate you more."

"I know. Don't worry, I won't." Jiang Hanyun is a gentleman, "Thank you Madam Zhang, I will find another way."

Ruan Muyang nodded.She still believed in Jiang Hanyun's character.

"I hope Mrs. Zhang can come and spend more time with Luo Yu when she has time."

"I will."

After leaving the Jiang Mansion, Luo Yu's pale face, full of tears, and a depressed mood appeared in Ruan Muyang's mind, which could not be recovered for a long time.

She hoped that Jiang Hanyun could give Luo Yu a reason to live.

Otherwise, Luo Yu is really...too bitter.

In the middle of the night, the post house in the capital.

Xie Zhao received the news from his subordinates with disbelief on his face. "You mean, that Shen Wei is a woman? Is it the daughter of Shen Lian, the former Minister of Dali Temple? And Zhang Anyi intends to vindicate Shen Lian?"

"Back to the lord, this was revealed by Xu Hou's old department, saying that it was an expression of sincerity to the lord."

In the past, Xie Zhao also had contact with Shen Wei a lot.He tried hard to recall the details of the contact with Shen Wei, and said suspiciously: "Shen Wei can hide so many people and get mixed up in the cabinet?" The court gathered the most intelligent people in the world, and no one found out. Shen Wei is a woman?

But when he thought about it again, Shen Wei's figure was indeed much smaller than that of ordinary men, and his appearance was also indistinguishable.

Maybe it really could be a woman.

"If Shen Wei is really a woman, then Zhang Anyi probably knows the truth. The two of them committed the crime of deceiving the emperor! They will definitely die!" Xie Zhao's eyes flashed coldly.

On the side, his confidant said: "My lord, isn't it just that we have no way to get rid of Zhang Anyi? Reporting this matter to the Holy One doesn't require us to do anything at all."

A smile appeared on Xie Zhao's lips, suppressing the joy in his heart, he shook his head and said, "I still can't believe that Xu Hou's old department, so I have to be careful about fraud. In this way, when it gets dark, you Send someone to investigate secretly to confirm whether this Shen Wei is a man or a woman."

"Yes."

If Shen Wei is really a woman, then God is helping him.

This time he, Zhang Anyi, was certain to die.

In the evening, when Shen Wei returned to the official residence from the palace, it was almost Haishi when he was about to fall asleep.

She is very careful on weekdays, even when she sleeps, she doesn't let her hair down, and she wears tight clothes.

Sleeping until midnight, she suddenly heard movement, opened her eyes, and saw two men in black standing in the room.

She exclaimed, "Come here!"

Those two people swung their swords suddenly, they didn't hurt her, they just aimed at her hair bun and skirt.

Shen Wei didn't know martial arts, so after hiding twice, his hair was messed up, the black hair fell down, and the skirt of his clothes was pulled away by the sword, revealing a large piece of skin on his corset and neck.The skin is delicate and the black silk is like ink, and the unique fragility and softness of women can no longer be concealed.

Isn't it just a woman?Still a beauty.

Her complexion changed drastically, she clutched the skirt of her clothes tightly, and asked sharply, "Who are you!"

The two men in black didn't bother, they glanced at each other and left quickly.

Hearing footsteps outside, Shen Wei immediately closed the door.

"Master Shen, what happened?" asked the guard outside the door.

Shen Wei squeezed Qingsi together and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I thought there was a thief, but I was wrong."

After confirming that the guards had left, she finally relaxed.Not in the mood to clean up the mess left after the fight in the room, she pursed her lips tightly, feeling a bad premonition.

The two men in black returned to the post in the thick night.

Xie Zhao, who was waiting for news, was naturally still awake.

"My lord, my subordinates have confirmed that Shen Wei is indeed a woman."

"Okay!" Xie Zhao was overjoyed, his eyes were extraordinarily bright, brighter than the dancing candles in the room, "I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, and tell the emperor about such an important matter." It was not too late, he was afraid that Zhang Anyi would be so treacherous people think of countermeasures.

One of the men in black hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, but the Holy Majesty said that no one is allowed to approach the bedroom without permission, and those who violate it - will be killed without mercy."

Xie Zhao didn't take it seriously: "My brother is kind and soft-hearted. As long as I say a few nice words, he will probably change his mind. Besides, Luo Jie's charges have been confirmed. With his character, if I report Shen Wei again , he might thank me and reuse me."

As expected of brothers, they have been rivals since the late emperor until now. Xie Zhao knows the character of Emperor Ling very well.

But this time he was wrong, the one who really sits in the palace is not Lingdi at all.

Zhang Mansion, Chuanyun Courtyard, when the sky was getting bright and the night had not faded, Ruan Muyang was awakened by a knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Anyi, who also woke up from his sleep, had a hoarse voice, which was very nice.

An invisible voice came from outside the door: "Second Master, Mr. Shen is here and wants to see you on something important."

"Okay." Zhang Anyi turned his head, and saw that Ruan Muyang also opened his eyes, reached out to caress her face and said, "Shen Sikong has something to do with me. It's still early, madam, please sleep a little longer."

Probably because both of them are still sleepy, the tenderness at this moment is the most real these days.

"it is good."

After Zhang Anyi put on his clothes and left, Ruan Muyang's drowsiness slowly dissipated, and his eyes regained clarity.

Before dawn, Shen will look for it in the future, probably because Xie Zhao has already taken action.

It's not this morning, it's tomorrow, everything will be decided.

in the library.

"What happened?" Seeing Shen Wei's unusually pale face, Zhang Anyi frowned.Although the distance from the bedroom to the study was short, it was enough for him to wake up completely, and there was no trace of trance or fatigue in his expression.

Shen Wei said solemnly: "Last night, two men in black came to the official residence, slipped into my room, did not hurt me, but used their swords to pick apart my skirt and loosen my hair. It can be seen that they came with a purpose, and I am afraid they already know that I am a woman."

A dark tide surged in Zhang Anyi's eyes: "Do you know who it is?"

Shen Wei shook his head: "Those two men in black are extremely agile. I have been sending people to track them down in the second half of the night, but they haven't found anything." After the men in black appeared, Shen Wei didn't sleep anymore. People, I came to Zhang's mansion to discuss countermeasures with Zhang Anyi when it was almost dawn.

"Could it be Luo Jie?" Shen Wei asked.

In fact, Luo Jie was the first thing Zhang Anyi thought of.

Luo Jie has been in prison for a few days, and it is not impossible to bite them with a desperate fight, and he has also tracked down Shen Wei before.

"It's very possible." This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, Zhang Anyi's expression is rare and serious, but there is no panic.His calm and profound appearance can easily calm people's hearts, and makes people feel very reliable.His tone was as gentle as ever: "If it was him, he would definitely find a way to enter the palace and tell the matter to the Holy Majesty if he knew the news."

Shen Wei nodded.

Zhang Anyi suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at Shen Wei: "You immediately send people to guard the gates of the palaces. I will transfer people now. No matter who it is, for the current plan, the only way is to take risks and stop people at the gates of the palaces." , so that he can't see the Holy Spirit." A cold light flashed in his dark eyes, full of murderous intent.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

When they agreed and opened the door of the study, the sky was already white.The weather changes rapidly at dawn.

Presumably the other party is also hurrying up, and at this time, we must race against time.

The sky brightened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hearts of Zhang Anyi and Shen Wei became heavier and heavier.

At this moment, in the capital, there are many people who are paying attention to the sky and waiting for the dawn.

After Qian Yuan was executed, the Five Cities Military and Horse Command had fallen into the hands of Zhang Anyi, and there were many of his cronies.When he was personally mobilizing the manpower, Shen Wei hurriedly said: "There is no movement on the Luojie, but King Yong'an left the post at dawn."

"It turned out to be him." A gloomy emotion flashed in Zhang Anyi's eyes, and he said immediately, "Where is he?"

"I'm afraid I will arrive at the gate of the palace in half a stick of incense."

Zhang Anyi frowned, his expression had never been so solemn: "It's too late, just these people, follow me."

It was a bit difficult to rush to the gate of the palace in half a stick of incense.

He was racing against time, and Xie Zhao never let up, lest Zhang Anyi would notice and something might go wrong.Fortunately, it was just dawn, and there were only a few scattered pedestrians on the streets of the capital.Xie Zhao swung his whip, grabbed the reins, and galloped down one street after another.

When Zhang Anyi and Shen Wei arrived at the gate of the palace with [-]% of the troops, they happened to see Xie Zhao dismount.

Hearing the sound of hooves and footsteps of a large group, Xie Zhao turned his head subconsciously.

Looking into Zhang Anyi's eyes from a distance, he showed a winner's smile and walked into the palace gate.

Shen Wei watched Xie Zhao go in, biting his lips tightly.

It's only because it happened so suddenly, none of them expected that Xie Zhao would find out Shen Wei's identity.There seems to be an invisible big hand behind the scenes, controlling everything, controlling their life and death, making Shen Wei feel unprecedented crisis and powerlessness.

"It's too late." Zhang Anyi stopped.He looked at his pale face, and comforted him: "Now we can only think of other ways. The Holy Majesty has decreed that no one should approach the bedroom. We still have time." Then, he looked at the palace gate, his eyes full of tears. Endless darkness.

Anxiety was only a momentary thing, and Shen Wei quickly recovered with a firm expression.Dismounting from the horse, she walked side by side with Zhang Anyi and quickly walked towards the gate of the palace, and said, "Do you think this is too strange?"

Zhang Anyi remained silent.

As soon as they entered the palace, Zhang Anyi and Shen Wei were stopped before they reached Emperor Ling's bedroom.

There seem to be a lot of imperial guards in the palace today, and there is an unusual aura flowing.
