Imperial capital, imperial palace.
Yi Xiaoqiao stood at the gate of the towering palace. The wall was as red as blood and the tiles were as bright as light. Under the sunlight, the glazed tiles emitted a light halo. This place is as sacred as a fairyland.
"Madam, please." The father-in-law made a gesture of invitation, and said to the smiling behind Yi Xiaoqiao, "the girl will wait outside. No one can enter the palace."
"Madam." Looked at her with a worried smile.
"Don't worry, wait for me!" Yi Xiaoqiao is not worried.
She is just a general's wife. If they really want to be against her, they won't give her a chance to enter the palace. They can solve her outside. Since they let her enter the palace, they won't kill her.
But she was not sure whether it was the emperor's meaning or... Another person's meaning.
Walking slowly along the open palace road, I can only hear the echo of her footsteps on the open path, one after another, like stepping on the tip of people's heart, which makes people feel a little afraid for no reason.
The deep palace road leads to the unknown distance. No one knows whether it is right or wrong, good or bad.
"Mrs. mu." In front of a palace, my father-in-law stood and saluted: "it's still some time before the Palace Banquet. Please wait here. When the Palace Banquet starts, you can see general mu."
As he spoke, he made a sign of invitation, motioned her to go in, and stepped back.
There was no one around. Not to mention the people attending the Palace Banquet, even ordinary palace maids and eunuchs could not see one.
Yi Xiaoqiao doesn't panic. Panic is of no use at this time. It will only make him inferior. Since he asks to wait, wait.
However, Yi Xiaoqiao did not enter the palace, but went to the small garden on one side. It was summer. The flowers in the garden were just blooming, the trees were hidden, the flowers swayed, and the flowers on the branches were in full bloom. However, the road under his feet was not easy to walk. The stone path was full of moss, and the weeds were hidden under the flowers.
Along the path to the depths of the flowers, moss and weeds can be seen everywhere.
Obviously, it has been deserted for a long time.
It seems that the Emperor didn't ask her to enter the palace, but someone made an opinion.
Yi Xiaoqiao realized this and turned to leave. Just after taking two steps, he heard messy footsteps at the door. Obviously, a large number of people came.
She glanced at the house with broken doors and windows, turned and left without hesitation, quickly shrank behind the house and got into the grass hidden by weeds.
The door opened with a squeak, the footsteps stopped in front of the door, and a man's harsh voice came.
"Are you sure the assassin is hiding here?"
assassin?
Is that her?
"I'm sure. I just saw it with my own eyes. She was carrying a dagger and looked flustered. She was going to Qingyun hall. She happened to be caught by the slave and fled here. The slave had just been paying attention to here. She didn't come out. She must still be inside."
Yi Xiaoqiao listened to the sound and quietly leaned out her head to check. At a glance, her anger was born in her heart. She really underestimated the people in the palace. She thought they wouldn't be so brazen framed. She didn't want to dig a pit and jump for her.
It's troublesome. If she is caught, neither she nor Mu Yian will have a good result.
At the moment of thinking, several officers and soldiers had rushed into the hall.
Yi Xiaoqiao had no time to think about it. He saw the palace wall on one side, ran up for a while, scratched his hands and pedaled up, and jumped out of the wall.
After landing, Yi Xiaoqiao didn't hesitate. He just chose a direction and left. Anyway, the palace is so big, I'm afraid it's not easy for them to find her. Now the most important thing is to find the way out of the palace and run first.
Unexpectedly, he just took two steps and saw a man standing in front of him.
The man, dressed in sky blue clothes, stood not far away. He was about to look at his face, but he heard an angry drink from inside.
"There are traces on the wall. It seems to have run away from here!"
Yi Xiaoqiao's heart was shocked. There was no time to take a closer look. He hung his head and walked quickly past the man.
"Stop."
Behind him came a dignified voice, which sounded familiar?
Yi Xiaoqiao's footsteps stopped, and she froze in place.
"Turn around."
Turn around?
Listening to the familiar voice, although Yi Xiaoqiao was very nervous, he slowly turned around. As far as his eyes could reach, he was a man in his forties and fifties. His face was broad and dignified, especially his eyes seemed to see through everything.
It was Yi Xiaoqiao's familiar appearance. Once upon a time, she snuggled in his arms and listened to him explain to himself the problems encountered in the operating room and the countermeasures. At this time, he wore clothes she didn't recognize and looked at himself with dignity. He was clearly a familiar person, but his eyes were so strange, like thousands of years apart.
Yi Xiaoqiao opened his mouth and said "Dad" in his throat.
"You are not from the palace." Yi Lan frowned, especially when he saw the blush on Yi Xiaoqiao's eyes, as if he had been hit by something in his heart. He had been trained to be a heart of stone. Suddenly he was hit and moved.
"Who are you and know me?"
Yi Xiaoqiao shook her head and heard the cluttered footsteps approaching. She had no time to say more and turned and left.
"Wait, come with me." Yi Lan led the way in front. With Yi Xiaoqiao, he quickly turned into a rockery.
"Stay inside and don't come out."
His voice as like as two peas' father's voice, Yi Xiaoqiao can't help but nod when he listens.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the sound of shouting could be heard faintly.
"Right phase." The former commander stopped in front of the rockery and saluted Yi Lan: "can you see that someone has just passed?"
Yi Lan looked without a wave: "who?"
"It's a woman in blue clothes and a dagger. She's an assassin who wants to assassinate the emperor."
Yi Lan took a cold breath: "assassin?"
"Yes, you can see it?"
"This......" Yi Lan was silent, as if thinking.
Yi Xiaoqiao's heart as like as two peas, but he is not his father after all. If he takes the emperor into account, he will tell her where she is.
Yi Xiaoqiao clenched his fist, leaned tightly against the wall and held his breath.
"I saw the girl in water blue." Yi Lan pointed in a direction: "just run over there."
"Chase!" A team of bodyguards chased up.
Yi Xiaoqiao hid in the rockery and breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't want to hear a strange voice outside.
"Do you really see the woman in blue running over there?"
