Chapter 247

"Dark Eighteen, come here, go this way."

Su Rong once again sneaked into the Prince's Palace in the dim night, but this time it was An Shiba who followed behind him.

With the sparse tree shadows, Su Rong and An Shiba jumped down from the corner without sound.

Previously, Su Rong and An Shiyi had already visited Xiangyuan, they knew the location of Concubine Gu Huai, now it is very convenient to find the way.

only--

Perhaps it was because Prince Zong was summoned by Lu Guojun tonight. Compared with the last time, there were many more guards guarding the outside of Xiangyuan.

It seems that Prince Zong really cares about Concubine Gu Huai very much.

I don't know how the two got involved.

"The guards on both sides are closely guarded, first check the surrounding conditions of this courtyard before making a move."

Su Rong lowered his voice and whispered in An Shiba's ear.

An Shiba understood, he nodded, and after scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, he said cautiously: "General Su Rong, please rest assured, this subordinate will go right away."

Su Rong nodded.

This time, it was only the two of them who entered the Zongqin Palace.

Because of the many guards guarding them, Su Rong and An Shiba had no choice but to divide into two groups and act separately.

One lured the guards away, and the other wanted to knock Concubine Gu Huai unconscious and arrest her.

An Shiba looked at where the most guards were, so he headed in that direction, his slender figure flitting across the night sky very quickly, and even when he was about to get close to those guards, An Shiba deliberately moved There was a little noise.

Sure enough, just such a little movement immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards guarding here.

Among them, a guard calmly shouted in the direction of An Shiba: "Who is it!?"

However, An Shiba hid so well that these guards couldn't see a trace of him at all.

However, it caused a commotion among the guards. Suddenly, the head guard on the other side said to the guards here: "Is that Xiao Zhang who spoke just now? What were you yelling about just now?"

With that said, the chief guard came out.

The guard who was called Xiao Zhang also came out, he blushed, pointed to An Shiba's hiding place, and whispered: "Chief guard, I seem to have seen some movement over there just now. "

The head guard looked in the direction he was pointing.

Except for the leaves swaying in the breeze, nothing else can be seen at all.

The chief guard withdrew his gaze, and he said perfunctorily, "Did you misread it for a while?"

"This"

Hearing what the chief guard said, Xiao Zhang subconsciously thought that he was dazzled and misread.

Xiao Zhang nodded: "Perhaps I misread it."

"That's fine, since you're all fine, go back and watch."

The head guard couldn't help but yawned sleepily.

In normal times, he, the head of the bodyguard, would not be needed to guard the courtyard at all, but tonight the prince is not here, and he has been specially instructed to guard the Xiangyuan well. If the girl in the Xiangyuan If something goes wrong, he has to raise his head to see the prince.

So, the head guard lazily returned to the position he had just stood on.

After such a move, Xiao Zhang didn't dare to say anything anymore.

But his gaze still couldn't help looking in the direction where An Shiba was hiding from time to time.

Dark eighteen: "."

Dark Eighteen almost laughed.

He didn't expect that the guards in the prince's palace were so lazy, even one of the guards had noticed the movement, but he didn't even step forward to check it carefully.

It was perfunctory to the extreme.

However, this is for Dark Eighteen.

The difficulty of sneaking into Xiangyuan has to be increased.

These people cannot be fooled by small disturbances. It seems that only by making a big disturbance can these people be lured away.

An Shiba stayed at the spot to observe the guards again, and then left the spot without making a sound.

At this time, Su Rong still stayed in the corner at the beginning, waiting for An Shiba to come back.

Seeing An Shiba's figure at this moment, Su Rong asked, "How is it? How is the situation?"

"There are guards all around the courtyard, but there are few guards guarding the back of the courtyard."

An Shibajiang told what he saw just now, and he continued: "Besides, my subordinates also discovered that those guards are so tired now, it seems that they don't even have the thought of moving."

"Just now, my subordinate deliberately made a little noise. I thought those guards would come forward to search, but I don't know, the head guard is not even willing to perfunctory."

"It seems that we have to make some big moves to lure them away."

Speaking of this, An Shiba's tone suddenly paused, he looked at General Su Rong and said: "I don't know if General Su Rong knows where the kitchen of the Zongqin Prince's Mansion is?"

"kitchen?"

Hearing this, Su Rong could guess An Shiba's intention in an instant.

He nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly pointed in another direction: "I remember, it seems to be over there."

After such a finger, not only Su Rong, but An Shiba was also stunned.

An Shiba smiled suddenly, good guy, if this fire can't be burned, what a pity?
Xiangyuan is only a short distance away from the kitchen of the palace. Once the kitchen catches fire, the guards guarding Xiangyuan will be the closest, and those who rush to put out the fire will definitely be the guards guarding Xiangyuan.

Prince Zong's arrangement gave them a good chance.

"it is good."

Dark Eighteen replied.

"How about this," he pondered for a moment, and then continued: "General Surong, I'll go to the kitchen to light the fire first, and General, how about sneaking into the Xiangyuan after the guards are lured away?"

"Just do as you say."

Su Rong didn't have any objection to this plan.

This time, bringing An Shiba here is considered to be the right person, he does not need to personally arrange everything, An Shiba has already drawn up the plan.

Hearing this, Shiba secretly said: "Then this subordinate will be one step ahead!"

As soon as the words fell, An Shiba's figure disappeared from General Su Rong's sight.

After he left, Su Rong withdrew his gaze, and then turned his gaze to Xiangyuan, waiting for the guards there to leave.

Dark Eighteen's actions went smoothly.

Not long after, the direction of the kitchen was filled with flames and thick smoke billowing.

"Go away!"

"The kitchen is flooded! Put out the fire!"

Immediately, there were bursts of panicked voices, followed by a scene of panic, "Well, what's going on here?"

"Why did the kitchen suddenly catch fire!?"

The guards guarding Xiangyuan were also puzzled.

But their duty now is to guard the Xiangyuan. As for fighting the fire, it can only be handed over to the guards on the other side.

However, the guards on the other side thought that the guards guarding the Xiangyuan would definitely go to fight the fire.

As a result, the guards in the entire clan prince's mansion did not move.

The maids who lived near the kitchen were also awakened by the thick smoke, and they all ran out in a hurry, shouting, and carrying water to put out the fire.

A few other maids rushed to Xiangyuan to ask for help.

Concubine Gu Huai, who was sleeping in the room, was also alarmed.

Concubine Gu Huai came out, and when she raised her eyes, all she saw was the fire that appeared from the kitchen.

"Xiaoju."

Xiao Ju is the maid who stayed in the Xiang Yuan to serve Concubine Gu Huai.

Suddenly hearing Concubine Gu Huai calling for herself, Xiao Ju hurried to Concubine Gu Huai's side. She covered her lips and coughed a few times, and said worriedly: "Why did the girl come out suddenly? There was a fire in the kitchen, and the thick smoke came out of nowhere for some reason. It floated to the courtyard here."

"Why did the kitchen suddenly catch fire?"

Concubine Gu Huai has always been vigilant, but when she heard this, her heart suddenly arose, how could it be such a coincidence?
Prince Zong happened to be away from the mansion, so something happened to the mansion?

Is it possible. Could it be that someone sneaked in to prevent fire on purpose?
Could it be someone sent by Lu Guojun over there?
Concubine Gu Huai was worried.

Xiaoju didn't think as much as Concubine Gu Huai thought. Hearing this, she said quickly: "The servant girl has already found out clearly. It is said that a maid who stayed in the kitchen at night fell asleep due to sleepiness and accidentally turned on the oil lamp. On the ground, and somehow, when she woke up, the whole kitchen was on fire."

The maid was also frightened and fled from the kitchen. ,

It's also thanks to her fate, if not, I'm afraid.
Just because of being too sleepy for a while, he couldn't even save his own life.

After hearing the explanation, Concubine Gu Huai's complexion improved slightly. She thought to herself: It turned out that the kitchen fire was caused by the maids in the mansion. However, as long as it wasn't someone sent by Lu Guojun, then she can rest assured down.

Similarly, this also shows that there will be no sudden accidents when Prince Zong enters the palace this time.

however--

There was more and more smoke in the kitchen, and the flames became more and more intense.

Seeing this, Concubine Gu Huai hurried to the gate of the yard, and was a little accidentally choked by the thick smoke drifting over several times.

She looked at the guards outside her yard and said, "Why don't you go put out the fire?"

"Haven't you all seen that the fire is going to burn into the yard here?"

"Miss Gu."

The head guard who was guarding the door came out, and he bowed his head and said: "This subordinate has been entrusted by the prince, and must guard outside the girl's yard. Only when the prince returns, can the subordinate leave."

What he said was true.

Prince Zong had indeed ordered him to do so.

But Concubine Gu Huai didn't think so. Now that she is in the palace, the fire started in the kitchen not far from her yard. Once the fire continues to spread, I'm afraid, when the fire is out of control, they will have to hug each other died.

Thinking of this, Concubine Gu Huai's attitude became a lot colder. She said coldly, "I'm alone, and I don't need so many guards from you. As the chief guard, then send half of the guards to put out the fire." , half of the guards stay to protect me."

"This"

The chief guard didn't want to agree at first, but seeing Concubine Gu Huai's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to agree to Concubine Gu Huai's arrangement.

As Concubine Gu Huai said, the chief guard sent half of the guards to the kitchen to fight the fire, and the rest of the guards stayed behind and continued to guard the Xiangyuan.

The head guard also stayed.

Immediately, the defense of the entire Xiangyuan was vacant.

at the same time--

The fire in the kitchen was finally brought down.

And Su Rong also quietly sneaked into the Xiang Yuan, he remembered which room was Concubine Gu Huai's room.

So, Su Rong took the opportunity to sneak in, and then, he found a hidden corner to hide.

but.

Concubine Gu Huai didn't stay in the yard too long.

Seeing that the fire in the kitchen was under control, Concubine Gu Huai was completely relieved. It seemed that everything was just an accident.

Even if Prince Zong is not in the house now, she can't scare herself, she has to trust Prince Zong, if he is fine, she will be fine too.

Thinking of this, Concubine Gu Huai returned to the room with Xiao Ju.

She was in a hurry when she came out, but she didn't clean herself up, now she was choked on a few mouthfuls of smoke, Concubine Gu Huai asked Xiaoju to fetch some warm water for her.

"Okay girl, please wait a moment, girl."

Xiaoju responded, turned around and went out.

But not long after Xiaoju left, the oil lamp placed on the table was suddenly blown out.

Immediately afterwards, the lamps hanging on the wall were blown out one by one.

In an instant, the room was plunged into darkness.

Concubine Gu Huai was taken aback, with the help of the moonlight coming in from the window, she could barely see the oil lamp on the table.

At the same time, Concubine Gu Huai's heart sank, she forced herself to calm down, and stared at the surroundings of the room warily.

There is no wind tonight, why is the oil lamp hanging on the wall blown out?

Hard to do.
There are other people hiding in her room! ?
Thinking of this possibility, Concubine Gu Huai was so frightened that her legs went limp. She pretended to be calm and was about to leave the room quickly, but she didn't know that just as she approached the door, the door was suddenly closed with a loud "slap" .

next moment.

A slender figure appeared in front of Concubine Gu Huai.

"Changqing?"

Under the darkness, Concubine Gu Huai couldn't see clearly, but she could vaguely see Chang Qing's face.

Concubine Gu Huai was overjoyed immediately, she was so excited that she was about to rush over to hug him, but saw him turn sideways again, and dodged away.

The visitor said calmly: "I am not Su Changqing."

"You are Su Rong!"

Hearing this, Concubine Gu Huai's complexion changed slightly, she remembered Su Rong's voice, and Su Rong was somewhat similar to Chang Qing, since he was not Chang Qing and knew that Chang Qing belonged to Su Changqing, then only Chang Qing Qing's own brother - Su Rong!
"Su Rong, why did you suddenly appear here?"

Even though Su Rong was Su Changqing's own brother, Concubine Gu Huai still hadn't let go of her guard, but she couldn't help thinking, could it be that Chang Qing asked Su Rong to come to the country of Lu to rescue her in person?

Could it be that Changqing has been rescued?
Thinking in this way, Concubine Gu Huai couldn't help asking, with a trace of hope in her eyes: "Su Rong, you, did Changqing ask you to come to me?"

"No."

Su Rong said expressionlessly: "However, this king also wants to take you back to see Su Changqing."

"you"

Hearing this, Concubine Gu Huai wanted to say something else, but all of a sudden, she felt a pain in her neck and passed out instantly...
