The poison entered the throat and killed instantly, and the man in black died instantly.Yaohua's footsteps stopped, and he didn't approach anymore."
What the hell is going on, isn't he the one who came to answer you, what happened" As soon as he came back and saw this situation, before he could figure out what was going on, the man in black committed suicide and died, and there was no time to stop it."
Those who disobey will naturally be punished."
Although he replied to Taiyue, Yaohua's eyes fell on Xiao Heng next to Taiyue.When Taiyue heard this, he naturally thought that the man in black committed suicide because he was angry with Xiaohua and was punished by Xiaohua, and couldn't help but feel angry, "You are too cold-blooded, even if he really did something wrong, but he came to answer you, you" Yaohua didn't answer, and took in Xiao Heng's expression.Xiao Heng's face did not change except for a flash of surprise from beginning to end.Tan Taiyue became more and more annoyed, he was accusing her, saying that she was cold-blooded, but she ignored it at all and did not react at all.At the same time, on the other side, when the early dynasty ended, the drama of the early dynasty was performed in front of the civil and military officials in the court, and then Xiao Yan, who finally had some free time, went back to the palace where the queen lived with Xu Min, and ordered the eunuch to continue to guard outside and enter the palace, open the mechanism, and go down to the secret room to see Xiao Heng and Xiaohua who were imprisoned.In the secret room, it was empty, and a small passage dug into the iron cage from outside the iron cage was horizontal, and there were many excavation tools scattered at the entrance of the cave.The faces of the two of them changed suddenly, and the first to blurt out was Xu Min, "How could someone come to save them last night" Xiao Yan's hands clenched inch by inch."
Don't be afraid.It's okay, it's okay, as long as we can catch your father before he appears in front of the civil and military officials to expose us, and don't let him have a chance to meet the civil and military officials," Xu Min immediately forced himself to calm down, turned around and took Xiao Yan's hand to comfort Xiao Yan, and also comforted himself.But having said that, except for the eunuch who was guarding outside at the moment, how could they send someone to arrest Xiao Heng who had escaped At this time, the eunuch who was supposed to be guarding outside the palace hurriedly ran in, opened the secret passage that had not yet been closed, and came to the secret room through the secret passage that had not yet been closed, and bowed his head to Xiao Yan and said: "Prince, someone outside came to tell him, saying that Lord Baili asked to see him in the imperial study, and the servant asked the person who came to tell him to wait outside the palace now." ”"Lord Baili, why is he here, the people of the Baili family" Xu Min, who finally calmed down, was still tense on the string, and he couldn't help but be nervous for a while.According to her efforts during this time, the Baili family among the four major families of Nan Yaoguo has always lived in a simple place and has not asked about court affairs for many years.Yesterday temporarily convened all the civil and military officials and today's early dynasty, no one from the Baili family came, how could he suddenly enter the palace now to ask for a meeting, "Did the person who came to tell him say who came from the Baili family?"
”The eunuch still lowered his head, and did not notice that the iron cage in front of him was empty, and because of the angle and orientation, he did not see the excavation tools scattered on the ground and the excavation openings on the ground, let alone the anxiety of Xiao Yan and Xu Min at this moment.Xu Min couldn't help but be silent, only to hear Xiao Yan speak at this time: "You go to reply to the people who come outside, just say that I don't want to see it, let Bailixi go back." ”"Yes."
The eunuch nodded, and then turned and went out.Xu Min did not object, and the top priority at the moment was to arrest Xiao Heng back immediately.But how to catch it, Xu Min scratched his head.Not long after, the eunuch who went out came again, "Prince, the person who came to pay the obeisance just now came again, saying that Lord Bailixi insisted on seeing the prince, and he had something very important to say to the prince, please go to the imperial study to see him." ”"I've already said it, I don't want to see it, he's deaf and can't understand" Xiao Yan couldn't help but get angry and glared at the eunuch.The eunuch shuddered, "Yes, the slave is right away" and so on. ”Xu Min seemed to suddenly think of something at this moment and interrupted the eunuch.Although there is really nothing to see in Bailixi, especially at this time.And what will happen to her and Xiaoyan next, they can't say it themselves now.But instead of letting Xiao Yan be anxious and worried here with her, it is better for her to carry all the problems.Xu Min then turned his head and said to Xiao Yan: "Since he wants to see you so much, then you should go and meet you."
As for this, I'll figure it out.Believe me, I will. ”"But" "No, but, trust me. ”Xu Min nodded resolutely, his voice firm.Seeing this, Xiao Yan looked sideways at the already empty iron cage, shook Xu Min's hand with his backhand, and turned to go out.The eunuch was a little confused, he didn't know what Xu Min was talking about and how to find a way, and he raised his head instinctively under the drive of doubt, and then he suddenly saw that there was no one in the iron cage in front of him, and there was a dug passage on the ground.The eunuch couldn't stop being startled, and after reacting, he hurriedly went out with Xiaoyan, not daring to say anything."
You continue to keep watch outside, and no one is allowed to come in without the orders of me and the prince."
Xu Min commanded the back of the eunuch.The eunuch nodded, turned around and said "yes" to Xu Min.In the blink of an eye, only Xu Min was left in the secret room.Xu Min immediately squinted his eyes and examined the secret room, and then quickly searched the secret room to see if there were other secret passages in the secret room.The eunuchs guarding do not know martial arts, and since the people who came to rescue Xiao Heng and Yaohua can sneak into the palace, it is easy to avoid the eunuchs guarding outside the palace gate and enter the palace unknowingly.But Xiao Heng was sick after all, or more precisely, he was poisoned by her and Xiao Yan, his body was weak, and he couldn't do his luck at all, and Xiao Heng couldn't suppress his cough, which couldn't be stopped at all, even if the other party joined forces with Yaohua, who was strong in martial arts, to take him out, in this case, it would inevitably alarm the guards patrolling the palace, so they shouldn't have walked from above, so there must be other secret passages in the secret room.It's just that Xu Min can't figure it out a little bit, since someone saved Xiao Heng, why didn't Xiao Heng show up directly and choose to leave, and this secret room under the queen's bedroom, she also inadvertently discovered it some time ago, Xiao Yan and the queen had lived here for so many years and didn't know it, so she and Xiao Yan were actually not very clear about this secret room, plus they had hidden the above organs before, and they didn't have more time to check the entire secret room.Time, passing quickly.Xiao Yan's side, in the imperial study, when Xiao Yan passed, Bailixi was still waiting patiently.After many years of Taoguang and obscurity, he deliberately ignored the government and politics, giving the outside world the illusion of living in a simple place, and Bailixi couldn't count how many years he hadn't entered the palace."
The prince has arrived" Suddenly, a sharp announcement spread from the outside to the inside.When Bai Lixi heard this, he instantly removed the look on his face, turned to face Xiao Yan who walked in, and saluted Xiao Yan tremblingly in front of the eunuchs and guards outside the door, "The old minister has seen the prince. ”"Excuse me."
Xiao Yan continued to walk inside as he spoke, passing by Bailixi's side, "I don't know if the Baili Boss has to meet me, what is the matter I just returned to the dormitory where the Queen Mother used to live, thinking of the killing of my father, and the bits and pieces of getting along with my father after being taken back to the palace by my father, I feel sad, so I asked the person who came to tell me that the Baili Boss is gone, and I hope that the Baili Elder will not take it to heart." ”Bailixi didn't answer immediately, slowly turned his body back along Xiao Yan's trend, always facing Xiao Yan, and after Xiao Yan stopped and looked over, he deliberately glanced at the door of the imperial study that was still open behind him, the meaning was obvious, "Where is the prince, it was the old minister who disturbed at this time."
The prince and the emperor have a deep relationship with their father and son, and they finally got back together, and asked the prince to take care of his health, don't be too sad. ”Although Xiao Yan was small, he also saw what Bailixi meant, and after thinking about it for a while, he instructed the eunuch guards outside: "Close the door, no one is allowed to come in without my order." ”"Yes."
The guards outside received the order and immediately closed the door of the imperial study.Now, Xiao Heng has an accident, Xiao Yan, the prince of Nanyaoguo, who was just found by Xiao Heng some time ago, is the rightful heir, and the civil and military officials are now in a hurry to find Xiao Heng's body and kill Yaohua, they are already discussing the time of his accession to the throne and preparing for the enthronement, and the guards and eunuchs in the palace are naturally obeying his orders."
Alright, the door is closed.In addition to coming to comfort me, if there is anything else that Lord Baili has to say, please say it directly. ”"The prince is really smart, and he can see it.The old minister is here, and there is indeed something very important to say to the prince, there is a news about the emperor, I don't know if the prince wants to hear it now, "Obviously he is still the child of the past, he was taken out of the palace by the queen, but once he returned from the catastrophe, he dared to poison his father and the emperor, which is really impressive."
Bailixi looked at Xiao Yan in front of him, and he didn't beat around the bush when there were only two people left.Xiao Yan's face suddenly changed, and he clenched his little fists nervously, "What news is he and my father, of course I want to hear it" "That old minister doesn't know whether this news is good news or bad news for the prince at present" "You said it is." ”Xiao Yan's fists clenched tighter unconsciously."
That's good, that's all the old minister can say."
As he spoke, Bailixi slowly approached Xiao Yan, lowered his head and lowered his voice and said to Xiao Yan: "It turns out that the rumors outside are wrong, the emperor is actually not dead, and the old minister's people saw the emperor outside the palace early this morning." ”Xiao Yan's complexion suddenly changed again, obviously white, and he couldn't stop taking a step back.Although he secretly poisoned Xiao Heng and experienced so much outside, he was still a child after all, "Your people really saw him" "Don't panic, the prince is on your side." ”Bailixi stretched out his hand, and calmly clasped Xiao Yan's small shoulders in a timely manner, calming Xiao Yan's panic, the surface was no longer as trembling as when he saluted Xiao Yan just now, and his chaotic eyes were full of essence.Xiao Yan was stunned, nervous, and looked at Bai Lixi's eyes vigilantly, "What do you mean by this?"
"If the person who reported the news to the old minister, if the word was not wrong, yesterday it was the crown prince that you personally told the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty that Yaohua killed the emperor and took away the emperor's body. ”Speaking of which, there is no need to say more, Bailixi looked at Xiao Yan in front of him, whose small fists were about to clench his green tendons, the corners of his lips full of wrinkles were faintly hooked, and then his words quickly changed, and he said backwards: "However, Lao Chen also remembers that when the queen was still there, she had a lot of kindness to the Baili family.Although the old minister is now old, he still dare not forget.The emperor's treatment of the prince and the queen like that was really chilling, although the old minister wanted to save it, he was powerless, and he always blamed himself.Therefore, the old minister understands the prince's mood very well, and the old minister is also willing to help the prince. ”That's right, the words that are being spread outside now are indeed what he said yesterday himself.Now, Xiao Heng is not dead, which means that he is lying to everyone.Although Bai Lixi didn't say any more, his words were already showing him that he was very clear about his intentions, but he later said that he wanted to help him Xiao Yan gradually bit his lip, and at the same time he was extremely nervous, he didn't dare to believe it.But if Bailixi really wants to be unfavorable to him and is on Xiao Heng's side, then since he already knows everything, wouldn't it be better to directly welcome Xiao Heng into the palace, there is no need to go into the palace to tell him this.And if his people hadn't really seen Xiao Heng, he couldn't have known that Xiao Heng was still alive.Bailixi was not in a hurry, waiting for the fledgling Xiaoyan to take the bait.This bait is simply a lifesaver for him at this moment, he has no reason to refuse, and it is impossible for him to refuse.Gradually, the atmosphere in the study fell into silence.Sunlight seeped into the study through the closed doors and windows, shining on the ground next to the door.Half a sound, Xiao Yan stared at the unfamiliar Bailixi in front of him, he had almost never been in contact with him before, and he had never been to Baili's house, "You really want to repay the favor and are willing to help me" "The old minister doesn't tell lies, and obeys the prince's orders." ”"Then if I want you to send someone to kill him, so that he will never have a chance to return to the palace, and there will be no way to appear in front of the civil and military officials" If he had known that there would be a change in the moment, he should have killed him directly after luring Yaohua back and imprisoning him last night.Now, the person has fled, and there is no one in his hands to use, and the guards in the palace cannot be sent to do this, he really can't refuse Bailixi's "allegiance" at the moment, even if his words are false."
The old minister took the order.From this moment on, please stay in the palace with peace of mind, wait for the day of enthronement, and wait for the good news of the old ministers. ”Bailixi gave up his hand and left immediately.Xiao Yan watched until Bailixi's figure disappeared outside the open door of the imperial study, and unconsciously took a step backwards again, his back hit the leg of the table behind him, alternating nervousness and disbelief.After a while, Xiao Yan retracted his expression, quickly left the imperial study, and went to the queen's bedroom again.In the secret room below the queen's bedroom, Xu Min was still looking for a secret passage, and she had already found one.After listening to what Xiao Yan said when he came back, Xu Min stopped his movements all of a sudden, and suddenly turned around to look at Xiao Yan, who was also incredulous, and blurted out: "What do you say, the people of Bailixi already know everything that your father has done to us, and he still wants to help you" Xiao Yan nodded, "You say, can he be trusted, but now in addition to believing him, what else can we do" "He has been living in seclusion for so many years, ignoring the government, how could he suddenly stand up and help you at this time, if it wasn't for his purpose, Send someone to spy or something, how could his people be so coincidental to see that your father is not credible, of course he is not credible. ”After a slight pause, despite this, Xu Min also knew in his heart that there was really no way to refuse Bailixi at this time, because they really had nothing to do about Xiao Heng who was rescued.As long as Xiao Heng comes back, they will be completely finished, and this return is at any time for Xiao Heng now, like a knife hanging above her and his heads, which may fall at any time, "In this way, let's wait and see what happens, even if he has another purpose, when he really kills your father and the emperor, and you successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor, we will slowly deal with him step by step." ”"Well, that's what I thought at the time."
Xiao Yan nodded.Xu Min then took Xiao Yan's hand again, and the two of them stood together in the secret passage, "Although we can only take one step at a time now, no matter what, I will be by your side." ”At noon, the three of Yaohua, Xiao Heng and Taiyue, who left, arrived at the nearest beach.The body of the queen was buried on the island where the old man had been living, and the only way to go was by boat.After eating some dry food, Yu Taiyue went to prepare the boat.I got on the boat, hired two experienced boatmen, and sailed in the direction that Yao Hua pointed out.In the distance on the shore, a group of people who had quietly followed and monitored Yaohua for a period of time immediately ordered one of them: "You go back immediately to report the situation." ”After saying that, the leader waved his hand, took the rest of the people to hire a boat, and continued to follow.He who is commanded receives the commandment, and does as the leader commands.In the capital, in the Baili Mansion, after listening to the proclamation, Baili Xi was scheming, and after drinking the tea in his hand unhurriedly, he entered the palace again.In the imperial study, this time Xu Min accompanied Xiaoyan to see Bailixi.She wanted to see who this hundred miles was."
Prince, the old minister is ashamed, the people sent out by the old minister lost the emperor on the beach, and they haven't had time to do it yet.""
Seaside" Xiao Yan keenly grasped these two words and couldn't help repeating them.Bai Lixi nodded, "But don't worry, the prince will continue to send people to search, and once he finds it, he will do it immediately to ensure that nothing is lost."
In addition, when the old minister entered the palace, in addition to wanting to report the situation to the prince, he also wanted to ask the prince to think about it, according to the prince, what you know about the emperor, he did not return to the palace, but left, but where did he want to go" Xiao Yan didn't speak, he had already thought of where Xiao Heng was going, and he definitely wanted Yaohua to take him to the island where his mother was buried, no wonder he didn't come back immediately after he was rescued to expose him.Xu Min heard what Xiao Yan said, and also knew that the queen was buried on a small island.At this moment, listening to Bai Lixi say this, he also thought of Xiao Heng's whereabouts all of a sudden, but he didn't expect that at this time, in Xiao Heng's heart, seeing the late queen would win over coming back to expose Xiao Yan and her conspiracy.From this point of view, maybe Xiao Heng is really ashamed of the queen and really regrets it.Bailixi waited for a moment and didn't wait for an answer, "Prince" "I think he should" "Wait, please go out first, Lord Baili, let me and the prince think about it alone, and then tell you after thinking about it." ”Xu Min hurriedly interrupted Xiao Yan and didn't let Xiao Yan tell Bailixi directly.Xiao Yan was interrupted by Xu Min like this, looked at Xu Min, and then looked at Bailixi, "Then you go out first." ”"Okay, the old minister will step back first, but this matter should not be delayed, please think about it as soon as possible and inform the old minister."
Obviously, Xiaoyan spoke, but was interrupted by the little girl in front of him, Bailixi laughed instead of anger, and withdrew temporarily.As for Xu Min's identity, Bai Lixi naturally also sent someone to investigate secretly, but the result was the same as the result sent by Xiao Heng to investigate, that is, nothing was found, and I don't know where she came from, it is really not simple at a young age."
Why don't you let me tell him right away" When the door of the imperial study was closed again, only he and Xu Min were left inside, Xiao Yan asked Xu Min with some puzzlement."
All along, I know how much you hate your father, and I know that you don't believe in him anymore, and you don't want to forgive him, and at the same time, I myself think he deserves to die, so I help you take revenge.But now, he escaped, but he didn't come back immediately to expose you, but went to the place where your mother was buried first, maybe he" "Do you want to intercede for him now" Without waiting for Xu Min to finish speaking, Xiao Yan had already heard the meaning of Xu Min's words, and suddenly interrupted Xu Min, and for the first time in history, he strained his face at Xu Min, like a stimulated hedgehog suddenly erecting a spike, "Even so, I didn't expect that you would intercede for him." ”"That's not what I meant," Xu Min tried to explain."
Not the best.Needless to say, since he went to the island where the queen mother was buried, let him die there to make amends for his mother's sins. ”When the words fell, without giving Xu Min another chance to persuade him, Xiao Yan asked Bailixi, who had just gone out outside, to come in, and told Bailixi the location of the island where the queen was buried, and asked Bailixi to immediately send someone over to kill Xiao Heng.Baili Xi bowed his head and went down with Xiao Yan's personal order.Xu Min didn't speak again, not annoyed that Xiao Yan was angry with her, and knew in her heart that her words of intercession for Xiao Heng just now only touched the pain of the queen's death and the depth of his hatred for Xiao Heng.It's just that his order, coupled with the appearance of the hundred miles, Xu Min couldn't help but have a rather bad premonition in his heart.After seeing Bailixi, Bailixi's first feeling to her was "cunning and cunning, hidden deeply", this feeling will not be wrong, she is very sure:
