Emperor Xiaocheng did not give up on the Pei family army's military seal.
Today is Emperor Xiaocheng’s last gamble.
Emperor Xiaocheng had originally planned to have the Empress find an opportunity to take the women in the palace away. If Song Huan was "unfortunately" abducted by the men in black, they could use this opportunity to force Pei Yan to hand over the military token...
Princess Shangjia's recent incident actually saved the Queen a lot of worry.
She looked at Song Huan, her eyes narrowed slightly. "Song, it's right for you to listen to Marquis Pei, but you won't listen to me?"
Song Huan: “…” Unable to refute.
It is indeed a feudal society, where the one with a higher position can openly oppress others.
"I dare not."
Song Huan took a deep breath, suppressed his inner complaints, and raised his eyes with a calm expression, "Since it is the Queen's kindness, then I will trouble Miss Hongying to lead the way."
Pei Yan suddenly stood up and grabbed Song Huan's wrist, "I forbid you to—"
"Husband."
Song Huanhui held Pei Yan's hand and stopped him from saying anything.
The system had just warned her in her ear that if Pei Yan insisted on keeping her at this time, Emperor Xiaocheng would take action against Pei Yan in advance.
The Pei family army that secretly entered the capital could not enter the capital until the hour of Xu at the earliest. It was not the right time yet, and rashly angering Emperor Xiaocheng would only put Pei Yan and his men at a disadvantage.
Song Huan's eyes were determined. Even if she really encountered an accident and lost her life this time, she could come back again.
She said calmly, "Wait for me, I will be back."
Pei Yan couldn't help but purse his thin lips into a straight line. His wife was so sure. Could it be that what happened today had also appeared in her dream?
"Go quickly and come back soon." He narrowed his eyes, and his voice sounded a little tense for some reason.
Song Huan curved his eyes and replied with a smile, "Okay."
"Madam, I will go with you." Jin Yue said.
The Queen is so aggressive, who knows what she is hiding behind the scenes. She has to follow and take care of the lady.
But the moment she spoke, Song Huan saw a red health warning box suddenly appear above her head...
"No, you wait here for me to come back."
"lady……"
"Be obedient, Jinyue."
Song Huan turned to look at Cui Yuning again. If he took her there, the Fourth Prince might send someone to protect her. However, the people sent by the Fourth Prince were to protect Cui Yuning, and had nothing to do with her.
If something unexpected really happens, with the heroine by her side, she would probably be even more of a cannon fodder.
"You are waiting in the hall too." Song Huan said to Cui Yuning.
As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid named Hong Ying had already walked up to her and stood silently waiting for her.
Song Huan: "Miss Hongying, please lead the way."
Hong Ying bowed, "Madam Hou, please—"
When Song Huan followed Hong Xing out of the Xuande Hall, he heard the sound of dancing and music again in the hall.
At the same time, several charming dancers passed by her.
Song Huan saw a few familiar faces among the dancers. They were the ones who had appeared in Ning County's kitchen...
She slowly exhaled. Pei Yan must not fail this time...
But after Song Huan left, Pei Yan was still worried.
He called Pei Shen and whispered something to him.
Pei Shen nodded and left. Seeing this, Emperor Xiaocheng secretly sent someone to follow him.
"Master," the Fourth Prince's personal bodyguard asked in a low voice, "Would you like me to go and take a look?"
The Fourth Prince pondered, his eyes glancing at Cui Yuning, who stood opposite him with his head bowed. A hint of cruelty flashed across his eyes. "No need. This matter has nothing to do with us."
However, in just a moment, Pei Shen returned to Pei Yan's side.
…
"Miss Hongying, where are you taking me to change clothes?"
The night was pitch black. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Song Huan felt that the area within his sight was gradually becoming desolate.
Hong Ying's steps became faster and faster: "Don't worry, Madam, we are almost there."
"……Um."
Song Huan responded softly and knocked on the system: "System Master, are you sure it's a dangerous event?"
System: "Dear, I'm sorry, please wait a moment."
"You will encounter too many dangerous variables if you leave Xuande Hall. This system is currently calculating and screening..."
Song Huan: “…”
"Can you be more efficient?"
"Even though the worst-case scenario is death again, I'd rather not die if I can avoid it!"
"What if I get scars again? I don't want to become a woman covered in scars!"
"Dear, the dangerous events have been screened out."
The system ignored Song Huan's complaints. The electronic soundboard said calmly, "The screening results show that there are three sources of danger that could cause harm to your life."
Song Huan: "Tell me quickly! Which three?"
System: "Danger source - first location: one kilometer away..."
Song Huan: "...Are you stuck?"
System: "..." Silence is always golden.
Song Huan: "System Master?"
System: "...squeak...ziz..."
Make two meaningless syllables.
"Ah! You crappy system!"
"At such a critical moment, your broken system actually went offline?!"
Song Huan was so angry that he almost had a heart attack: "I think you just want to trick me!"
She angrily closed the system conversation, her mind becoming increasingly tense.
Fortunately, this broken system has a history of being unreliable. To be on the safe side, Song Huan made more preparations before going out this time.
When she left Ning County, she went to Shengyuan Teahouse specifically to ask for special smoke pills and antidote that could prevent people from being infected. Song Huan touched the things in her sleeve pocket and breathed a sigh of relief.
If someone wanted to harm her, she would throw a cigarette at that person first.
And she also has a short blade hidden in her waist belt...which can be used to save her life when necessary.
"Walk slower, Miss Hongying."
Song Huan's breath sounded a little breathless, "I'm a little tired from walking."
Hong Ying paused abruptly, turned around and asked, "Madam, are you tired?"
Song Huan tapped his chin lightly: "Yeah, I'm tired."
"Then Madam, please take a rest." Before she finished speaking, Hong Xing suddenly took out something from her sleeve and threw it to Song Huan.
White powder was scattered all over the place. Song Huan quickly turned sideways, but some of it still fell on her face.
"What are you doing!" Song Huan shouted, his face instantly turning cold.
Hong Xing remained calm, "Madam, don't you feel like you can't open your eyes?"
Is this white powder also a drug?
Song Huan's body couldn't help but sway slightly, and his eyes gradually became blurred.
It seems that the Queen had her sent away on purpose, not to let her die... at least not now.
She raised her hand to rub her eyebrows, and her wide sleeves covered most of her face.
Song Huan staggered back two steps, slid his fingers down, and stuffed a green pill into his mouth.
"Madam, are you okay?" Hong Xing said these words with concern and expressionless face, walking towards Song Huan step by step.
After Song Huan took the pill, her mind became clearer. However, when she left Xuande Hall, the system had warned her not to fight against "Hong Ying" head-on. This person's fighting power was much higher than hers, and fighting head-on would only threaten her life.
In this case, it is better to take advantage of the situation and delay it as long as possible.
Song Huan's eyes flickered, and he fell forward very cooperatively...
Hong Xing caught the person and held him on his shoulder. He looked around until he was sure that everything was quiet. Then he half-carried and half-dragged the person to a palace not far away.
Seeing the palace maid dragging Song Huan into the cold palace, the secret guard who was ordered to follow Song Huan flew away and hid behind the corner.
The commander ordered that if they saw Madam Pei Hou in danger of her life, they should rescue her.
This person has fainted now. Should we save him or not?
...Let's just wait and see what happens.
"Aunt, the person is here."
In the cold palace, the queen's confidante, Hong Gu, was sitting in the middle of the yard making tea.
Opposite her was a snow-white beauty couch. She didn't even look up when she heard that. She just pointed at the couch and said, "Put the person on it."
Hong Ying: "Yes, aunt."
However, when Song Huan was put on the step, Hong Gu saw her drooping skirt from the corner of her eye, and her hand that was making tea could not help but pause.
After a moment, she suddenly sneered, "This girl from the Song family actually wore the imperial robes of the Tang family. She's really not afraid of bad luck!"
Down syndrome?
Song Huan concentrated, is this talking about Pei Yan's mother?
But what does this "aunt" mean by suddenly saying this?
As soon as the thought flashed through her mind, Hong Xing asked the question in her mind.
"Tang? Who are you talking about, aunt?"
Song Huan: “…” Well, it really fits the plot development.
"Who? Yeah, she's been dead for over ten years now, I'm afraid no one in the world remembers her anymore."
Hong Gu smiled sarcastically, "Think back when the daughter of Duke Tang married the renowned Marquis Pei, everyone in the vast capital knew about it. Even three-year-old children said they wanted to be generals when they grew up, and marry someone like the Tang family's wife..."
As she spoke, she stood up and sat on the side of the beauty bed. Her fingers gently stroked the patterns on the imperial robe and murmured, "I took this dress off Tang Zheng with my own hands. She doesn't deserve to die in this dress..."
Song Huan: “…”
What the hell? What's going on? This woman is so creepy, she must be sick!
"Hongying, I'll go with you to Xuande Hall after I receive the signal."
Hong Gu said fiercely, "I want to watch Tang Zheng's son die with my own eyes!"
Song Huan: “…”
From this sentence, I smell the scent of the bloody love and hatred of the previous generation...
"But aunt, the Queen Mother has ordered that you not appear in front of the young Marquis Pei."
Hong Ying was embarrassed: "If you show up, I'm afraid the young Marquis Pei will recognize you..."
"No problem."
Hong Gu touched Song Huan's clothes, her eyes lingering: "Now that things have come to this, what does it matter if he finds out?"
——
At the same time, outside Pei Hou Mansion.
The deputy commander of the imperial guards led a thousand soldiers to surround the Pei Hou Mansion, and the deputy commander and his men knocked on the door of the Pei Hou Mansion.
But after knocking for a long time, no one responded.
The deputy commander felt something was wrong. "Someone! Break down the door!"
Before he finished speaking, a feather arrow streaked through the sky and shot straight towards the imperial guards.
The deputy commander's eyes flashed: "The emperor has given orders! Attack with all might! Kill without mercy!"
There were only more than 200 people in Pei Hou's mansion, including the secret guards. The imperial guards quickly gained the upper hand. After the first wave of people climbed over the wall and entered, someone opened the gate of Pei Mansion, and in an instant, the crowd rushed in.
Butler Pei stood under the eaves of the front yard, looking at this scene, he couldn't help laughing, and the wrinkles on his face became even deeper.
"Old Li, take the people to clear the outside, and leave the people inside to me."
"Okay, okay, I won't steal the credit from you." Master Li smiled when he heard that, and left the house through the back door with a group of people.
They had to ensure that none of those guarding outside Pei Hou Mansion could go back and report the news.
We must also ensure that every piece of information Emperor Xiaocheng receives tonight comes from them...
In an instant, a thick smell of blood filled the air.
Half an hour later, Master Li returned to Marquis Pei's mansion and met with Butler Pei.
He was covered in blood, carried back by the secret guards. His previously intact leg was now a bloody mess.
Butler Pei's eyes instantly turned red with blood: "Pei Xi, go get the doctor! Go quickly!"
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Pei Xi was also covered in blood. He hurried out when he heard the words, but he returned before he could even get out. "Butler Pei, the people around Qin and Manor Master Qin are here, and they've brought a doctor."
Qin Huai looked at the corpses lying in a mess on the ground and asked someone to clear a path for them to walk on.
"We have received accurate information. If Chen Zheng succeeds in controlling you, he will send a signal flare to Emperor Xiaocheng."
Upon hearing this, Butler Pei found Chen Zheng's body and unearthed two flares from his body.
With a soft sound, the dark night sky was briefly dyed red...
Outside the palace gate, the imperial guards saw the signal flare and hurried to Xuande Hall to report the news to Emperor Xiaocheng.
In a desolate cold palace in the palace, Song Huan was confused by the night wind.
The wind initially made her awake, but after that, it made her dizzy again... Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the cold palace.
A shrill voice came in: "Aunt Hong, Miss Hong Ying, the Queen wants to see someone."
Hong Ying responded, "Yes, I will take the person over with my aunt."
Song Huan's eyebrows jumped. These three people...really thought too highly of her.
She can't even handle Hong Xing...
"System master?" She tried to knock on the system again.
The result was not surprising at all. The broken system didn't even produce any meaningless syllables and was completely disconnected.
Her body was dragged up from the beauty bed, and Song Huan could hear their footsteps and the sounds of picking up the bolt and opening the courtyard door.
"Aunt Hong..."
The eunuch's shrill voice trembled, "The Empress specifically ordered me to come and help Miss Hongxing. You... please wait a little longer in this palace. I'll come and invite you back when today's business is over."
"I will explain to the Queen myself." Hong Gu said as she took a step forward and walked in front of the two of them.
The young eunuch wanted to dissuade him again, but was stopped by Hong Xing's look.
His eyelids twitched and he dared not say anything more.
During this period, Song Huan took out two pills from his right sleeve pocket.
There are two of them, one big and one small. The smoke pill is bigger. It will break into a puff of white mist the moment it is thrown on the ground. Anyone who smells it will fall to the ground after walking a few steps.
The small one can keep people awake when held in the mouth. Song Huan planned to hold her breath after she threw away the big pill. After they all fainted, she would put the green pill in her mouth.
Song Huan had practiced breath holding, so this was not difficult for her.
The only problem now was that she couldn't guarantee that she could knock out all three of them at the same time.
Especially Hong Ying, can she hit the target with one strike...
Song Huan is bald.
If I had known that Hong Xing was alone, I should have fought back. Now, it feels even more dangerous to fight back!
But she would try it anyway.
Even if she really couldn't fight to the death, she couldn't just do nothing and let them take her to threaten Pei Yan.
And now should be the most appropriate time. She remembered that the place Hong Ying brought her to was very remote, and there were not many guards patrolling nearby.
But if she got any closer to the Xuande Hall, she would be caught by the endless stream of guards outside...
Song Huan loosened his fingers and threw a large pill to the ground, holding his breath at the same time.
When she stopped breathing, the sound in her ears became a little swollen.
one two three……
Song Huan counted to five silently in her mind, and then she heard a "thump" and someone fell to the ground. It was the eunuch on her right.
"Aunt! There's someone!" Hong Xing cried out softly, and her expression instantly became nervous as she looked at the little eunuch who had fallen to the ground.
"Who is it?" Hong Gu shouted, "How dare you? Are you trying to save your life? Come out!"
However, all around was silent, with only the rustling of the night wind against the branches.
The secret guard who was following secretly was also shocked.
What happened? He didn't make a move!
Is there someone following us secretly?
For a moment, he was even more cautious and did not dare to act rashly.
Taking advantage of their panic, Song Huan used a little more strength to take out a drug pill from his sleeve pocket and threw it on the ground.
But this time, Hong Xing saw white smoke rising from the ground.
"Cover your mouth and nose! Auntie!" Hong Xing shouted, but inhaled a lot of smoke in the meantime and fainted in a moment.
In a split second, Hong Gu quickly retreated and ran towards the Xuande Hall, shouting as she ran: "Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
Song Huan: “…” Oops, it’s too late.
She opened her eyes expressionlessly, put the green pill in her mouth, then took a deep breath, lifted her skirt and ran in the opposite direction.
The speed was so fast that even the hidden guards were shocked.
However, what shocked the secret guards even more was that the palace guards rushed over after hearing Hong Gu's shout.
The secret guard's eyes flashed, and he didn't dare to help.
After pondering for a moment, he watched the two teams of imperial guards rush into the cold palace and then retreat back to the Xuande Hall.
For now, he alone could not save Madam Pei. He could only go back and bring the news to the commander.
…
Song Huan never expected that there was only a dead end in the opposite direction.
She ran into this desolate and dilapidated yard and had no way to go.
In the middle of the yard was the bed where she had just lain, and the tea that the "aunt" had made.
Song Huan only brought ten Miyan Pills with her when she went out, and she had just used up two, but the imperial guards from the palace kept coming to this courtyard looking for her...
"What a lousy plot!" Song Huan kicked the beauty bed. "There's no way to escape, right?"
The gate of the courtyard was slammed open, and a group of guards with swords rushed towards Song Huan.
"It's her! It's her! Capture her and bring her to the Queen!"
Maggie Cheung ran so fast that more than half of her hair was loose, making her look even more like a lunatic.
A knife was placed neatly across Song Huan's neck. The captain of the guards said in a cold and ruthless voice, "Don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, if this knife accidentally cuts your neck..."
"Oh."
Song Huan sneered. It was just a harsh remark, as if he couldn't do that to anyone.
She retorted in a deep voice, "Before I see the Queen, if you dare to hurt me with this knife, I'm afraid your head will fall off your neck."
The author has something to say: It’s her! It’s her! It’s her!
Our hero, little Nezha! (Collect)
