Chapter 613 Dog Cave
After Luo Yunxuan left the bedroom, his face looked very ugly.
The murderous nature that Qin Zhong had just displayed made him feel disgusted and a little scared.
Can he really get what he wants by cooperating with such a group of jackals and tigers?
In fact, they are a three-party collaboration.
However, compared with King Xiling and Qin Zhong, Luo Yunxuan still has too few cards in his hand, and he is the most passive one among the three parties.
He was afraid that these two people would turn their backs on him after the task was accomplished.
The death of the Fourth Prince Luo Xinran is still vivid in my mind.
He didn't want to follow in Luo Xinran's footsteps.
He now had to find a way to leave himself a way out, and the first step was to secretly protect Concubine Rou.
However, when he walked into the side hall, he found that there was only Xie Chuxue in the side hall, and there was no sign of Concubine Rou.
Xie Chuxue was still dressed in that simple and elegant outfit, with a pure and beautiful appearance. At first glance, one would think that she must be a kind and gentle beauty.
She stepped forward and bowed.
"Why is the prince here?"
Luo Yunxuan: "I came to see my mother, where is she?"
Xie Chuxue: "She doesn't feel well. I asked someone to take her somewhere else to rest."
When Luo Yunxuan heard this, his face immediately darkened.
"Why didn't you let me know before you sent her away?"
Xie Chuxue seemed to be frightened by his stern tone and her body trembled slightly.
"You were talking about business just now, and I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't inform the prince. Did I do something wrong?"
Luo Yunxuan was disgusted by her pretentious look.
"Stop pretending, Concubine Rou is my mother. Without my permission, no one can take her away. Send her back to me now!"
Xie Chuxue pursed her lips and said aggrievedly.
"Why are you so fierce? Concubine Rou is frightened. Keeping her here will only make her feel worse. I am sending her away for her own good."
Luo Yunxuan sneered: "For her own good? You are doing this just to restrain me through Roupin. You are treating Roupin as a hostage."
Xie Chuxue: "How can you say that? We are in the same boat. We will definitely not harm you. You have to trust us."
Luo Yunxuan was too lazy to bother with this woman anymore, so he turned around and left the side hall to ask King Xiling for an explanation.
Prince Xiling was standing in the corridor, admiring the moon tonight.
He listened to Luo Yunxuan's explanation of his purpose and said with a smile.
"Chuxue is right, we are indeed doing this for your and Roupin's good.
Concubine Rou is too timid. It will not be good for either her or us if she stays here.
It would be better to let her go somewhere else for shelter.
When the matter is done, we will return Roupin to you.
You don’t have to worry about it.”
The meaning of this statement is very clear.
They took Concubine Rou away on purpose.
If Luo Yunxuan wants Concubine Rou to return safely, he must be obedient and help them succeed.
Luo Yunxuan was filled with hatred, and the fingers hidden in his sleeves involuntarily clenched into fists.
He seemed to have gone through some painful struggles, and finally lowered his head and said obediently.
"My mother is timid and in poor health. I hope my uncle's people can take good care of her. I only have this mother, and I don't want to see anything happen to her."
King Xiling was very satisfied with his compromise and soothed him in a gentle voice.
"Don't worry, we are all family. I will definitely have someone take good care of her and make sure that she will be fine when she returns to you."
King Xiling: "It's almost time, we should go in."
Luo Yunxuan: "Yeah."
The two returned to the bedroom and smelled a strange fragrance mixed with blood as soon as they entered the door.
Then they saw four rebels lying on the ground in a disorderly manner.
Their necks had been pierced by scissors and they were dead.
The emperor who was supposed to be lying on the couch was nowhere to be seen, leaving only messy bedding.
Prince Xiling and Luo Yunxuan's expressions changed at the same time.
They immediately called in a group of rebels who were on duty at the door.
Luo Yunxuan questioned: "How did you guard the door? Everyone in the room was dead, and the emperor ran away, but you didn't react at all? Are you deaf?!"
When the rebels saw the scene in the bedroom, they were all sweating profusely.
They had been guarding outside the door and indeed did not hear any sound at all.
Until they entered the room, they thought everything was normal in the bedroom!
At this time, Xie Chuxue also walked in.
When she learned that the emperor had escaped, she was very surprised: "Wasn't the emperor fainted? And he was poisoned, how could he escape?"
Luo Yunxuan thought of a possibility and his face turned pale: "Could he be pretending?"
Prince Xiling said sullenly, "Impossible. The Imperial Physician is one of ours. He takes the Emperor's pulse every day and is certain that the Emperor has been poisoned. He also fainted just now."
Luo Yunxuan thought of the way his father vomited blood just now. That was definitely not something he could fake.
"Then how did he get away?"
King Xiling's eyes swept around the room one by one: "There must be a secret passage in this room."
He immediately ordered all the furniture in the bedroom to be moved away and searched the walls and floor inch by inch.
One of the rebels knocked on the wall in front of him, his face changed, and he shouted, "This wall is empty!"
They couldn't find the mechanism to open the secret door, so they simply broke it down violently and forcibly removed it.
A dark secret passage appeared in front of everyone.
King Xiling said with a pale face: "Go in and take a look."
A group of rebels walked along the secret passage and finally came out of the rockery cave in the imperial garden.
They took a detour back to the bedroom of Weiyang Palace and informed Prince Xiling and Luo Yunxuan of the result.
Prince Xiling said gloomily, "It seems that the emperor escaped through the secret passage, but he was poisoned and couldn't run far. He should still be in the palace. Send someone to search and find him!"
Luo Yunxuan was worried: "What if he escapes from the palace?"
Prince Xiling: "What can he do if he escapes? The entire Shengjing City is already under our control. Unless he can grow wings and fly out of Shengjing, he will never be able to escape from our grasp."
…
All the palace gates have been captured by the rebels, and the palace walls are too high, so even the most powerful masters cannot fly over them.
Luo Yechen and Bu Shengyan couldn't find a way to leave the palace.
When the two were at a loss, Gan Fu spoke at the right time.
"I know a place where I can leave the palace."
Luo Yechen and Bu Shengyan looked at him together.
After a moment.
The three of them squatted in a remote yard.
In front of them was a high city wall.
Gan Fu moved the stones piled at the base of the wall, revealing a hole half a person's height.
Bu Shengyan was very surprised: "Why is there a hole here?"
Gan Fu said embarrassedly.
"This was originally a dog hole, but it was later discovered and reported to me. I thought it might be useful in the future, so I didn't have it blocked up, but blocked it with stones, just in case."
