Chapter 1122 The Sneaky Mysterious Man
Emperor Yuanwu stood up and walked towards the back hall, where he was his temporary collapse. Once the memorial was too late, he would take a nap there.
He Yi lay down, and maybe it would take not long to get up to pay his respects. Emperor Yuanwu was not sleepy.
Eunuch Lu sat in front of his couch and took a nap with his hands in his arms.
Emperor Yuanwu could not bear to disturb Eunuch Lu, and he tossed and turned.
When Eunuch Lu heard the master's movement, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty can't sleep at night, but is there something wrong in his heart?"
Emperor Yuanwu asked: "Is there any suspicious person on my mother and Yuzhen recently?"
Eunuch Lu shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, our people did not find it."
Emperor Yuanwu said: "No matter what, I must be careful there. Don't let my mother and Yuzhen have any chance to disturb the matter."
Eunuch Lu whispered: "Yes, the servant obeys the order."
Emperor Yuanwu said again: "I am always worried when I go out alone."
Eunuch Lu advised: "Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do if you are not at ease. Miss Lingling sneaked into the palace. If it were the past, it would be nothing, but now the news is tight."
"If someone is sent to send him off, the consequences will be unimaginable. There are rules in the palace that women are not allowed to meet His Majesty privately. If those old ministers know, their old ministers will not be held to death?"
Emperor Yuanwu said, "I don't know why, I'm always a little uneasy."
Eunuch Lu comforted: "Maybe because Your Majesty has been reviewing the memorials for too long and not resting enough, causing you to feel restless. Your Majesty, it's late at night, you'd better take a break!"
Emperor Yuanwu snorted, but closed his eyes and fell asleep.
On the other side, Lan Lingling was familiar with the guards and prepared to rush out of the palace.
In order to avoid the guards, she had to change the route.
By chance, she met the mysterious man again.
Lan Lingling didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she turned around and wanted to leave.
But when I saw the mysterious man sneaking, he was heading towards Chengming Palace.
Lan Lingling saw that the mysterious man looked a bit like the King of Wu. She was worried that something might happen to Emperor Yuanwu, so she turned around and followed the mysterious man as soon as her fist hit the wall.
Lan Lingling was careful and avoided the guards while preventing the mysterious man from discovering that she was so nervous that she almost breathed rapidly.
After a while, she saw the mysterious man wandering around Chengming Palace, but there was no suspicious behavior, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Who is it?
What to do so late?
The blue spirit cat was on the eaves, quietly observing the actions of the mysterious man.
The mysterious man walked back and forth a few times outside Chengming Palace before he hid in the darkness.
Lan Lingling waited patiently for a while and after confirming that the mysterious man was not nearby, she jumped off the eaves, avoided the patrol guards, and came to the place where the mysterious man stopped.
She looked left and right and there was nothing suspicious about it. She was about to leave, but she saw the worm under her sleeves shining with a faint light.
Lan Lingling took out the small bottle and placed it on the stone slab and shook it gently.
The worms in the small bottle swayed in the curve, and the light flashed and dimmed.
She didn't hesitate anymore, pulled out the hairpin and pried open the stone slab. When she saw what was inside, her face suddenly changed.
"Which bastard actually gave Ace such a vicious poison!"
Lan Lingling cursed in a low voice, preparing to destroy the insect buried under the stone slab.
But suddenly, a figure flashed past the neighborhood of Chengming Palace.
It was that mysterious man, and it turned out that he had not really left.
Just as Lan Lingling was removing the Gu, he flew out of the darkness to attract the guard's attention.
"Who?!"
The guards found him.
But he seemed to be very familiar with the defense in the palace, and in just a blink of an eye he disappeared on the palace wall.
So, Lan Lingling became the villain.
Lan Lingling quickly covered the stone slab and ran away. She flew over the eaves and walked through the walls, on the palace walls, in the alleys, and on the roof, and ran out of the palace as fast as possible.
She can't be caught, otherwise she will be unable to explain.
She had to rush back to Taishu's mansion and tell His Highness the Uncle about this, and let His Highness arrange for her to come and relieve the Gu as soon as possible.
But the guards in the palace are so strict, how could she escape at will?
After she was discovered, the entire team of Jinwu Guards quickly dispatched and rushed towards her from all directions.
"Stop! Don't run!"
The torch lighted up, and the quiet and secluded imperial city suddenly became lively.
The sound of guards' armor, footsteps, and shouts... are constantly heard.
The more the noise, the more the noise.
Several iron chains flew towards Lan Lingling and wiped her body.
Lan Lingling didn't dare to be careless and ran out of the palace desperately.
Can't be caught!
Must not!
Lan Lingling took the opportunity to cover her cheeks and tried her best to avoid the attack and pursuers.
Seeing that she was flexible in body movements, Jinwuwei abandoned the iron chain.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The captain of the guard shouted.
In an instant, the crossbow and the sleeves were fired at once.
"It's over!" Lan Lingling wailed and fell head-on into a side hall.
It was a coincidence that the second coincidence tonight was that the mysterious man was also in the house.
"Little thief! Who are you?!" Lan Lingling immediately attacked the man without saying a word.
But the man's martial arts was obviously above Lan Lingling, and he quickly controlled Lan Lingling.
The man chuckled and suddenly pointed Lan Lingling's acupoints. He slowly retreated to the darkness in the room, and soon disappeared.
Judging from his figure, this mysterious man really looks like the King of Wu. Unfortunately, the light is too dark and he covers his face and can't see his appearance clearly.
"There is there! People are in the house! Surround them all!"
Outside, illuminated by torches.
The window frame was filled with fire, and the mottled light and shadow fell on Lan Lingling's face.
She was anxious, but she was helpless.
If she is caught, she will die! She will inevitably take the blame for the mysterious person. Even if Ace wants to protect her, it will be useless.
Seeing that the Jinwu Guard was getting closer and closer, he was about to open the door of the house.
Lan Lingling bit her lips tightly in anxiousness, and she closed her eyes in despair.
Suddenly, her lips were covered and a man dragged her back to the wall.
The man didn't know what mechanism he touched, but the wall of the house quietly cracked, revealing a small secret room.
Lan Lingling was taken into the secret room, and the moment Jinwu Guard stepped in, the door of the secret room was closed steadily.
The secret room was pitch black, and the person behind Lan Lingling took out a night pearl, and his face also appeared.
"Duke of Yue?"
Lan Lingling screamed in surprise.
Lu Mingyong put his hand on his lips: "Shh! Sigh quietly. Today\/I am on duty, and Yu'er sent me a message to me, saying that you have entered the palace, so let me come and take a look earlier."
Lan Lingling nodded: "There is a mysterious person..."
Lu Mingyong signaled Lan Lingling to look at the corner of the wall: "I was knocked unconscious."
There was indeed a person lying down there.
Lan Lingling immediately said: "He has given Ace a Gu..."
Lu Mingyong interrupted her: "There is too much noise outside. I must carry him to the office. I will lead the Jinwu Guard away. You can find a way out of the palace by yourself."
"You must stop the Grand Uncle who came to court and immediately tell him what you know. Without further ado, act quickly. If you are too late, you won't be able to meet Grand Uncle."
