With a shout, the imperial guards were about to ask who was coming, but when they looked closely, they found that it was the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming and Princess Yu Feng Yuheng. The guards saluted respectfully, not daring to ask why the two wanted to enter the palace at this time, let alone what the matter was, and quickly let them go. After all, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng could enter the palace anytime and anywhere, so there was no need to interrogate them, and of course, they did not dare to interrogate them.
So the palace gates were opened and the two men were welcomed into the palace, and the horses were taken into their care.
The two of them were in a hurry. Without saying a word, they dismounted and walked towards the palace. Their steps were fast, and it was obvious that the situation was urgent. The guards at the palace gate were a little puzzled and whispered: "Didn't His Highness the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu go to the hunting ground? Why are they back? And at this time?"
"Who knows! The masters' affairs have never been something we can analyze clearly. Maybe the emperor suddenly thought of something and asked them to come back to do it! The Sixth Prince left the palace at twilight hour, so he should not have arrived there yet. Anyway, let's be alert. The Ninth Prince came back in such a hurry, maybe the Sixth Prince will also return to the capital in the middle of the night!"
"Alas! We have finally had peace for a while, is there going to be another disturbance? I feel like something is not right with His Highness the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu today, and I don't know what's wrong, but they just look different from usual." The man said as he looked into the palace gate. The two people who had entered first had already disappeared, and his doubts became even greater.
"There's something wrong." Another person obviously didn't want to care about these royal affairs. "Anyway, it's the two of them, so there's nothing wrong with that. As for what they want to do, that's not something we can control."
"That's right." The man put away his doubts, waved his hand, and continued to stand at his post.
The two who entered the palace followed the route in their minds and headed straight for their destination, whispering to each other: "This should be the way, right?"
"That's right. According to the map drawn by Sun Qi, we will follow this road for another incense stick of time, go around half of the lake, and pass through two gardens, and then we will see the death row."
"Yes. Anyway, be careful and leave immediately after picking up the person."
As he was speaking, he looked up and saw a man walking towards him. He was dressed in the official robes of a minister. He was obviously stunned when he saw the two of them, and then hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Your humble servant greets His Highness the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu."
Ministers in the palace? The two looked at each other and came to this conclusion. However, they did not dare to say too much. They just stood there and looked at the man for a while. After a while, the man who was identified as Xuan Tianming was the first to ask, "It's getting late, why don't you leave the palace?" The palace did not allow ministers to stay at night, so it was not wrong for this man to ask such a question.
The visitor still said respectfully: "Many people from the Imperial Hospital have followed the emperor to the hunting grounds, leaving me to take charge tonight."
"Oh." The man nodded and said nothing more, but he heard the woman next to him say, "You are the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, but there are no masters in the palace tonight, so it is of no use to be a doctor."
Hmm? A strong doubt instantly spread in that person's heart. He even looked up at the two people in front of him again. Only when he was sure that they were really Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng did he lower his head again. But he kept asking the same question in his heart: Why did Feng Yuheng say that? Who he was and whether he was an imperial physician, shouldn't Feng Yuheng know it very well?
The person who came was none other than Xu Mao, who was sent to the palace by Feng Yuheng from Baicaotang. Who doesn't know him? Feng Yuheng should know him. If Xuan Tianming was unfamiliar with him, Xu Mao would not think it was strange. But when such words came out of Feng Yuheng's mouth, there was something indescribably strange.
Xu Mao lowered his head, constantly thinking about what was going on, but the two people opposite him did not suspect him, and even "Xuan Tianming" was still saying: "The king and the princess have important things to do, you can leave!"
Xu Mao subconsciously stepped aside to make room for the two men, and only looked at them from behind when they passed in front of him. This glance made Xu Mao frown.
Not like! A terrible thought suddenly came to my mind. The back figure doesn't look like! Is this really the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu? Why do they look like them from the front, but look so strange from the back? Especially that woman. Although Feng Yuheng is also a martial artist with an excellent foundation in Kung Fu, she still walks like a lady from a noble family, with a feminine and graceful figure.
But the one in front of him was much more sturdy, like a simple martial artist. He stood up straight and strode forward, his steps in step with the men, not inferior to them at all.
Xu Mao broke out in a cold sweat, and his calves were trembling. He was afraid of his own thoughts, and worried that he was overthinking. What if the two of them really had an emergency? Feng Yuheng was also in a hurry when he had an emergency, which was not surprising. Besides, it was dark, and he might not have seen him clearly.
Thinking of this, he stepped back step by step, and gradually he could no longer see the two people going away, so he hurried back to the Imperial Hospital.
The appearance of these two people sounded a warning bell to Xu Mao, and at the same time, Xu Mao's episode also made the two people very worried. Especially the woman, perhaps influenced by the unique intuition of women, she couldn't help but ask: "Will that man just now see the flaw? Why do I always feel that he seems to know us? Oh, I mean he knows the ninth prince and the princess of Dashun, and our performance just now was too unfamiliar, will there be trouble?"
The man waved his hands and said, "No matter if it's a mess or not, there's not even a master in the palace right now. He's just an imperial physician. Even if he can see something, what can he do? Can he mobilize troops or send out generals? What's more, even if he can see something, it's just a guess. At least from what you and I can see, it's definitely the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu. Who can do anything to us?"
The woman smiled coldly, "You are right. Who can do anything to us? We just need to get the people out. It doesn't matter whether the Dashun Palace is in chaos or not. It is none of our business."
The two of them went straight to the death row, occasionally talking in low voices, until they arrived at the door of the death row and stood in front of the guard. The "free walking function in the palace" of these two faces worked wonders again, and the guard opened the door without asking any questions.
Originally, the death row was managed by Xuan Tianming, and Feng Yuheng was free to come and go. Even if the two of them came at this time, people would automatically regard them as urgent. There was no need to ask about the Ninth Prince's affairs. No matter what he did, it was for a reason, and he was definitely on the same front as the emperor. This was a rule that people had long recognized in their hearts. Therefore, until the two of them entered the death row step by step, no one dared to say a word of objection.
Finally, the two stopped in front of the cell of the Eighth Prince Xuan Tianmo. When they looked at Xuan Tianmo again, they couldn't help but shudder. Too miserable! This was their common thought. They had only heard that the Eighth Prince of Dashun was thrown into death row, but they didn't expect that he could be so miserable.
The man asked someone to open the cell door and walked in with the woman. The woman walked closer and looked at Xuan Tianmo's face very carefully, and even reached out to touch it a few times, as if she was checking the integrity of this face. She nodded to the man until she was satisfied, and then heard the man say to the guard: "Untie him, the emperor wants to deal with him in the enclosure, the king and the princess will come back to pick him up personally."
This reason was quite convincing. Xuan Tianmo had become so rotten that the guards could hardly bear to watch. They had been wondering all day when they could finally get rid of this person. Until today, when they heard that he would be dealt with in the enclosure, people did not doubt him. So two people came forward and took Xuan Tianmo down from the shelf. But with a "thump", Xuan Tianmo fell into the dirty water on the ground, which sobered him up a little.
He looked up and saw "Xuan Tianming" and "Feng Yuheng" at a glance. He immediately gritted his teeth and cursed at the top of his lungs: "Xuan Tianming! Feng Yuheng! What are you two doing here? Are you here to laugh at me? Don't worry, I won't let you go even after I die. I will summon your souls underground day after day, and one day I will summon your souls underground as well. Then we'll fight and see who can beat who!"
The Eighth Prince's shouting did not cause any ripples in the incident, and even confirmed the identities of the two people in front of him. The guards heard him swearing and kicked him twice.
"Feng Yuheng" couldn't bear to see the Eighth Prince's face covered in dirty water, so she quickly said, "Alright, my father is still waiting in the enclosure, and he will be executed tomorrow morning, so we can't delay any longer."
"Xuan Tianming" nodded, stepped forward, picked up the person on the ground, held him in his hand like a chicken, and walked out with big strides.
Feng Yuheng followed behind, along with several guards, and no one suspected anything. Because the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming was originally arrogant, and he was the only one who was in charge since he was a child. No one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do.
After leaving the prison gate, someone asked, "Your Highness, do you need help?"△≧.*(.*)△≧,
“Xuan Tianming” shook his head: “No need, you just keep guard, I will leave the palace soon.” After saying that, he pulled “Feng Yuheng” and hurriedly returned along the same route.
The two hurried along the way. Even though they met countless palace servants, they ignored their greetings and kneelings, and only rushed to the palace gate. The palace gate had been locked, but knowing that the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu were entering the palace, they still left the door open for them. When they left the palace, they still rode one horse each, and then put the Eighth Prince horizontally in front of the horse ridden by "Xuan Tianming", and rode away with him. What was left behind, in addition to the slightly stunned expressions of the Imperial Guards, was the unwilling cry of the Eighth Prince.
The imperial guards watched the two horses and three men hurried away, and someone said, "Why don't you bring a royal carriage? It's very tiring to carry a person like this."
"I don't know where they are going. Looking at the direction they left, they weren't heading towards the paddock, were they?"
The imperial guards at the palace gate were puzzled, but not as much as Xu Mao. Xu Mao had been fidgeting since he returned to the Imperial Hospital. He was the only one on duty at the Imperial Hospital tonight, and even Sun Qi had gone to the enclosure with him. He wanted to find someone to talk to, and wanted to find someone to analyze why the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu suddenly returned to the palace at this critical moment, and what on earth were they doing there? Unfortunately, he was the only one in the empty Imperial Hospital.
He walked out and stood in the yard, frowning in thought, when he heard the palace people chatting: "Did you hear that His Highness the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu took the Eighth Prince out of the death row?"
Xu Mao's heart skipped a beat, and he finally realized that something was really wrong!
