Chapter 382 My Sincerity
Deputy General Gao clenched his fists.
He gritted his teeth and said only one word, "Be patient! No one is allowed to leave their post!"
Everyone shouted, "Yes!"
When the person on the other side heard this, he became even more arrogant.
Prince Liang smiled and directed his men to keep pushing forward, using the excuse that they wanted to protect the emperor, but his hands kept pushing.
King Liang was giving orders and enjoying himself at the same time.
He tilted his head and said to Mu Chengyan, "Leave this here to me. The children in the hands of Deputy General Gao's wife are in your hands."
Mu Chengyan frowned when he heard this.
King Liang spread his hands and said, "You see, I can't leave here. Besides, I feel uneasy when you always wash your hands so cleanly."
King Liang is a fool.
But not absolutely stupid.
After so many actions, King Liang realized that Mu Chengyan was unwilling to get involved in any dirty work and kept himself very clean.
If the matter is really investigated in the future, he will be able to keep himself out of it.
"Mu Chengyan, if you want to cooperate, you must show sincerity. These children are your sincerity to me."
"Don't forget what we said before. We are in the same boat. We each have leverage over the other. That's the best partnership, don't you think?"
Mu Chengyan's eyes were gloomy.
Prince Liang smiled, imitating the gesture he had learned from Yun Zhao before, and said lightly, "Regent Prince, there is nothing in this world that can be gained without paying any price."
Mu Chengyan frowned, glanced at King Liang, and said coldly, "You don't need to provoke me."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Prince Liang laughed. He watched Mu Chengyan walk towards the Cining Palace and shouted at his back, "Remember, womanly kindness is a taboo!"
Deputy General Gao saw Mu Chengyan leave.
He was extremely anxious, as he felt that Mu Chengyan was going to cause trouble for Yun Zhao.
Looking at the soldiers who kept coming in front of him, he tried his best to stop them.
Suddenly, Doctor Li cried out in pain, and Deputy General Gao's heart tightened.
Then he heard Doctor Li shouting, "Help! There's an assassin! There's an assassin! Help! Come and save the emperor!"
There were flashes of swords and sabers in the house.
Deputy General Gao immediately went into the house and saw a masked assassin swinging a sword at the little emperor. Deputy General Gao was shocked and immediately stepped forward.
Suddenly, the room was in chaos.
The sounds of swords, cries, and desperate cries for help mixed together, like scenes from a human tragedy.
When Yun Zhao slowly opened her eyes, Qicai was taking care of her. She was so surprised that she wanted to call for help.
Yun Zhao waved his hand and said to Qicai Wuli: "Come here."
She panted heavily and lowered her voice, "Send someone to bring Deputy General Gao's wife and children into the secret passage."
Qicai asked, "Is this the secret passage we used to escape?"
Yun Zhao nodded.
Qicai called the people around him, but Yun Zhao held his hand and said, "Qicai, you are the person I trust the most. These children are my brother-in-law, Deputy General Gao, and the last bloodline of Doctor Li's family. I want you to take them to that secret passage personally!"
That secret passage once gave Yun Zhao a glimmer of hope.
Now that the palace is about to undergo a major change, she also hopes that this secret passage can provide these children with a way out.
Qicai nodded, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"
Fu Hai stood aside and whispered to Yun Zhao, "Queen Dowager, no one knows about this secret passage except me, you, Qicai, and General Xie..."
"But don't forget, there's someone else who knows."
That person, Yun Zhao, had entered the secret passage with him before.
Yun Zhao tightened his grip. "Now, there is no safe place in the palace. Only that place is relatively safe, and—"
"Mu Chengyan wouldn't touch a child. The child is innocent, he wouldn't do that."
Fu Hai moved his lips.
I mean, you can’t put your expectations on others.
But people in the palace are now in panic. A few days ago, Deputy General Gao’s wife was almost taken away, and it happened again yesterday. Several children were obviously frightened. Only that place was relatively safe.
Fu Hai understood that Yun Zhao had already made his best efforts.
She tried her best.
When Qicai was about to leave, Yun Zhao grabbed her wrist and suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
"Qicai, do you remember... back in Jiangnan, someone gave me a gunpowder mine?"
Fu Hai suddenly looked up and stared at Yun Zhao in a daze.
Yun Zhao lowered his voice, took a few breaths, and then said, "You... have Deputy General Gao's wife take it and bury it at the entrance."
Fu Hai then understood.
For Yun Zhao, in addition to trying his best, he also has the determination to ensure that everything goes well.
Qicai lowered her eyebrows and said, "I have buried gunpowder at the entrance. Anyone who enters through the main gate will be killed. Queen Mother, are you sure?"
Not many people know about this secret passage, and everyone knows who might be killed in the explosion.
"Well, go ahead." Yun Zhao said.
Qicai nodded and left.
After Yun Zhao finished all these things, she had used up all her strength. She collapsed on the bed, covered in cold sweat, and fell into a deep sleep again.
Seeing this, Fu Hai rushed out to boil medicine.
In the pavilion, Xiaoliu was enjoying the flowers and drinking tea. Fuhai's feet were sparking, "Xiaoliu, the Queen Mother has fainted again, why don't you go and see her?"
Xiao Liu drank the precious tea that Xie Jingmo had brought earlier, squinting his eyes in satisfaction, "Don't worry, I won't die. Let me enjoy it a little longer."
When Xie Jingmo arrived, before he even entered the room, Fu Hai said, "General Xie, the Queen Mother asked you to go directly to the Emperor after you return, saying that the situation is turbulent and Prince Liang might be angry. If Deputy General Gao doesn't make a decision, something big might happen."
Xiaoliu nodded in the pavilion.
Like watching a show, "Really? Prince Liang said, I'll come here first, poison Yun Zhao, then go back and wait for chaos over there, and then poison the little emperor. I say, Xie Jingmo, can you do it? If you can't, and can't bring Prince Liang down, then I'll have to poison my senior sister first, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself when I go back."
Fu Hai: “…”
Xie Jingmo: “…”
Fu Hai, "Xiao Liu, what are you talking about? This is your senior sister."
Xiao Liu nodded. "Yes, otherwise why would I sit here and talk nonsense with you? But if you are too useless to hold a high position, I have to protect myself, right? Anyway, my senior sister has enjoyed it, so it should be my turn to enjoy it next."
Xiaoliu narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Fu Hai was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "You..."
Xie Jingmo said, "Don't worry, I will let you live the good life that Yun Zhao has in the future. Just take care of her for me, and I will thank you handsomely in the future."
Xiao Liu looked at Xie Jingmo seriously, "Really?"
Xie Jingmo said seriously, "Seriously."
Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll trust you this time."
Xiao Liu said this and walked into Yun Zhao's room with an acupuncture needle.
Just as Xie Jingmo was about to follow in, he saw a young eunuch hurriedly coming in, holding up the brim of his hat that was about to fall over.
As he walked, he shouted, "Something big has happened!"
