Chapter 459 Chess Pieces
Following Hua Zhaoyi's voice.
Everyone stopped and turned around, and saw the twelve-year-old Zhan Yihang struggling in the lake. It seemed that he could not swim at all and was snorted several times.
"Yihang, mother will go down to save you." Hua Zhaoyi said and then jumped down.
Seeing this, the maids and palace maids following behind her dared not stay on the shore any longer. Now that their master had gone ashore, they would definitely have to go down as well to rescue the twelfth prince.
Suddenly the lake was in chaos.
"You go down and save them." Emperor Jingming looked at the guards accompanying him.
He spoke.
The guards no longer had any scruples and immediately jumped into the water to rescue people.
Soon, Zhan Yihang, Hua Zhaoyi and others were brought up.
"Yihang, wake up, wake up quickly, don't scare your mother." Hua Zhaoyi cried anxiously while holding Zhan Yihang, reaching out to gently pat his face.
"Take the twelfth prince and leave the palace quickly." Emperor Jingming arranged, his face looking very ugly. How could he fall into the lake out of nowhere?
After hearing this, the guards went to embrace the twelfth prince.
Hua Zhaoyi looked at Emperor Jingming and said, "Your Majesty, Yihang's breathing is very weak. Can you ask the imperial physician to check on him now? I'm afraid it will be too late to leave the palace."
"It's too late, you and your son just stay here!" Nan Jiao spoke first, looking coldly at Hua Zhaoyi who was in very good condition.
She had seen her at the imperial banquet.
She was the youngest of all the concubines in the harem, with skin as white as jade and a round and petite face, not looking her age at all.
Hua Zhaoyi was stunned. "Princess Jin, what do you mean?"
Nan Jiao didn't even look at her, but looked at the Emperor Retired and Emperor Jingming: "Grandfather, Father, please leave the palace immediately. The Twelfth Prince will be fine."
She spoke the following words with full assurance.
Although Emperor Jingming felt sorry for his son, looking at the fire burning in the distance and Nan Jiao's stern tone, he naturally listened to her.
When Hua Zhaoyi saw Emperor Jingming was leaving, she cried and said, "Your Majesty, Yihang is your youngest son. His face has turned blue now. Please feel sorry for him."
Nan Jiao walked towards her, looked down at her, and said coldly: "If you felt sorry for the twelfth prince, you wouldn't push him into the water!"
Quiet
The crows were silent!
Everyone looked at Nan Jiao, what was she saying?
Hua Zhaoyi pushed the twelfth prince into the lake?
Emperor Jingming frowned and looked at Nan Jiao: "You mean Hua Zhaoyi pushed Yihang into the water?"
Nan Jiao said firmly: "Yes, it was Hua Zhaoyi who pushed us. She deliberately delayed the time because she didn't want us to leave the palace."
"Princess Jin, what are you talking about!" Hua Zhaoyi shouted with her eyes wide open, hugging Zhan Yihang tightly.
"Drag the mother and son away!" Nan Jiao looked at Lu Linjun who was dressed as a soldier. She couldn't argue with her here.
Hua Zhaoyi let Zhan Yihang fall into the water in order to prevent them from leaving the palace.
She naturally couldn't let her succeed.
She will deal with her after they leave the palace and reach a safe place!
She never expected it.
The person hidden deep in the palace turned out to be Hua Zhaoyi, who was of low status and not very eye-catching. Before she suspected Concubine Xi, she had never suspected her.
"Your Majesty, please save Yihang. His pulse is very weak!" Hua Zhaoyi pleaded with tearful eyes looking at Emperor Jingming, her face full of heartache.
"Instead of spending time here crying and begging me, you might as well leave the palace quickly and let Nan Jiao help him and take them away!" Emperor Jingming said in a solemn and majestic voice.
He is an emperor.
If he still can't guess what Nan Jiao said, then he is really stupid.
Hua Zhaoyi is related to the descendants of the Xuanyuan tribe!
When Hua Zhaoyi saw the guards coming to pull her away, she waved her hands and refused to leave, shouting and yelling. For a while, the guards did not dare to touch her, after all, she was a concubine.
Nan Jiao's eyebrows darkened, and she didn't care about her throwing tantrums, and directly knocked her out with a palm!
Everyone: “…”
The palace maid brought Hua Zhaoyi with her.
The guard picked up Zhan Yihang.
The group left the palace in a grand manner.
Out of the palace gate.
Nan Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. There was less smoke above the palace and it looked like the fire was almost out.
Before leaving the palace.
She had asked the guards to find her eldest brother and tell him to leave the palace as soon as possible. She also asked the firefighters to leave as soon as they put out the fire and not to stay any longer.
A moment later.
People in the palace came out one after another.
Bang——
There was a deafening explosion, a giant mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the ground shook slightly.
Some people screamed and huddled together in fear.
Emperor Jingming's face instantly turned ashen. Someone actually blew up the imperial palace. Fortunately, they all ran out just now, otherwise they would all be affected.
The emperor was furious, "How dare they!"
They actually secretly buried explosives in the palace, and the royal family knew nothing about it. If Nan Jiao hadn't been smart enough to discover the abnormality, they would have ended up in trouble.
Nan Jiao looked at the commander of the Lu Lin Army who had already come out, "Commander Mu, you lead the Lu Lin Army to evacuate everyone now, and then have someone close the city gate!"
"Yes, Princess Jin!" Mu Shuangcheng said respectfully. He was leading people to put out the fire before, if she hadn't sent someone over to notify them to retreat.
They must still be in the palace at this moment.
"Where's the prince?" Nan Jiao looked around but didn't see her eldest brother.
"His Highness hasn't come out yet? I let him go at that time." Mu Shuangcheng was slightly stunned. He remembered that the prince left before them.
Nan Jiao said calmly: "You go and arrange your affairs, I will go find the prince."
No need to think.
My eldest brother must have gone to the East Palace.
She was able to think of letting them retreat, so she naturally arranged for people to go to the East Palace.
Mu Shuangcheng immediately ordered Lu Linjun to evacuate the people present.
Nan Jiao walked towards the Emperor Jingming, the Retired Emperor, and said, "Grandfather, Father, you go to the Prince of Jin's Palace first. I'll go find the Crown Prince. Remember to have someone keep an eye on Hua Zhaoyi."
"Go ahead and be careful." Emperor Jingming said seriously. How could she know so much? If it weren't for her today, they would still be staying in the palace.
"Yeah." Nan Jiao nodded.
Let Molan go together to see Princess Jin.
She took Jinzhi to the East Palace.
"Master, you are so amazing." Jinzhi said with admiration. She had already made the judgment while she was still dazed.
"Because I'm in the bureau, and I know that person well." Nan Jiao said calmly that today's explosion was just a fuse.
It means they are going to take thorough action!
The smile on Jinzhi's face disappeared, and her voice turned cold, "You mean he showed up?"
Nan Jiao smiled faintly: "We should meet soon."
Now she finally understood why he betrayed Shura Gate, just because of the incomplete treasure map.
Because he didn't want her to go to the royal tomb.
In his heart, Wang Ling was more important than their friendship.
Or rather.
There has never been any friendship.
From the moment he appeared in front of her, it was intentional. If she hadn't accidentally obtained the treasure map, perhaps she would have become a chess piece on his chessboard.
It became a sharp sword in his hand.
