Chapter 371

She ignored him. She quickly gathered her hair, arranged her messy clothes, took down the token from his waist, and rushed out of Cuiyun palace.

In the whole Cuiyun palace, there was no one else except Zhu Sheng. No matter how loud his voice was, no one could hear him.

When Xia Yuanqiu left Cuiyun palace, she met a lot of guards on the way. She showed Zhu Sheng's token, and there was no barrier for her to pass.

If at this moment out of the palace, will be the best opportunity, but she ran in the opposite direction, toward the discussion hall.

Zhu Sheng put the emperor under house arrest, and it must be Zhu Sheng's confidants who knew the place of house arrest, and Zhu Sheng's confidants must be in the political hall to take care of Zhu Sheng's affairs.

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped into the hall, a figure came out of the dark and appeared under the light.

"Miss Zhuo Er, what are you doing here without your highness?"

This is a middle-aged man in his early 40s. He has short eyebrows, rat eyes, and a small goatee on his chin. He is very insidious.

As a saying goes, a person's face is born from his heart. The gloomy appearance of his face can prove his inner darkness. As expected, those who are with Zhu Sheng are not good people.

"The Lord authorized me to meet the emperor." She raised the token in her hand.

The middle-aged man's eyes were suspicious. He glanced at the token in Xia Yuanqiu's hand and said in a cold voice, "the Lord asked you to see the emperor. What are you doing in the political hall?"

"The LORD said that only when I find you can I see the emperor." She had to gamble. She had no other chance.

The middle-aged man coagulated in front of Xia Yuanqiu and said, "is this really what the LORD said?"

Xia Yuanqiu raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "what? Are you going to confront Zhu Sheng with me? "

He was a counselor. Although he was highly valued by the king of Liang, he knew the difference between a minister and his wife. Moreover, he was the most beloved of the king of Liang.

He hastened to smile: "Miss Zhuo Er is serious. That's not what I mean by villain!"

Xia Yuanqiu hums coldly: "not this meaning, what does that mean?"

Seeing that Xia Yuanqiu was angry, he gave a dry smile and said, "Miss Zhuo, please come with me. I'll take you to see the emperor."

Xia Yuanqiu took a deep breath and tried to keep the smooth color on his face. He said in a light voice: "lead the way ahead."

The middle-aged man brings Xia Yuanqiu into the back hall of the political hall. There is a study in the back hall. Outside the study, there are four guards with knives guarding the door of the study.

How can a study be guarded by guards? There must be heaven and earth in this study.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man led her directly into the study. Looking at it, the whole wall was full of books. Besides books, there was nothing else, not even a book case.

The middle-aged man also did not avoid Xia Yuanqiu. He went directly to a collection of books, reached out and moved the collection. After a few clicks, the bookshelf opened from both sides, revealing a delicate carved door. The middle-aged man pushed open the carved door and made a gesture to Xia Yuanqiu: "miss two, please!"

Things went so smoothly that she was suspicious. She suspected that this guy had deliberately led her in, so as to temporarily block her steps.

But at this point, she can't retreat. She has no power to restrain Zhu Sheng. It's a trick. If she wants to restrain others, especially martial arts practitioners, it's not easy. In this case, maybe the emperor is really locked up. Even if she falls into prison again, she can at least determine the emperor's life and death.

Thinking of this, she went into the carved door without hesitation. As she expected, as soon as she entered, the carved door would be closed, and she had no way back.
