At this moment, the emperor was quite calm and composed. He had never made preparations without any confidence, so even if this was a case of forced marriage, he would not disregard his own safety.
"If I don't give myself a hand in this, then there will be too many assassination attempts in the future. I will have to survive. Of course, I have to be careful." The Emperor poured himself a cup of tea and leisurely sipped on it as he watched the battle unfold.
It would be a lie to say that they didn't feel any heartache. These secret guards had also taken a lot of time to nurture them. Thus, when the emperor saw that his men were injured, his heart ached.
But this was the battlefield. When they were training them, they should have long since expected such a day to come.
"Well, I knew it. But how are we going to get out? " This was the most worrying matter of all. He had originally thought that he would be able to take the Emperor away from this place, but there were simply too many people.
Another option was to wait for the rescue troops to return to the capital, but that would take several days.
Although they had the dark guard's help now, in terms of numbers, the other side still held the absolute advantage.
This time, they had forced Shangguan Xiong into a corner, they might send all their troops to attack the Imperial Palace, and before long, all of them would be captured.
"It's true that there aren't any. How did This Emperor know that he would meet such a day?" But if we can hold on until the rescuers get here, it shouldn't be a problem. " Before that, the Emperor was fully prepared.
They were in the palace, stubbornly guarding the same place. If the other party couldn't enter, they couldn't leave. Although a stalemate had been created, this was also the best situation.
This war lasted for two days, and the flowers Song Xiangsi had been waiting for in the Prince's Mansion were about to bloom. However, she had not gotten to the one she was waiting for, the entire capital was now under the control of Shangguan Xiong's men.
Including this mansion, Song Xiangsi had thought that Meng Huanghun would return soon, but who would have thought that the entire mansion was already surrounded. They could not go out, nor could outsiders.
"Lovesick, what do you think we should do now? Xuan'er is still in the palace, so I don't know how the situation is going over there. In these two days, she had experienced all sorts of ways in life and her attitude towards Song Xiangsi had finally improved a little.
At this time, the golden-faced concubine had already left the prince's mansion and was returning to her own home. However, her situation was not looking any better.
The entire capital was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. Everyone was scared out of their wits and no one dared to offend these foreign invaders.
"For the past two days, because of that old fellow Shangguan Xiong, I've been unable to do any more business." Song Xiangsi got angry when she thought about the amount of money she had earned in the past two days.
At that time, he had lent 50,000 silver to Tang Yi. He clearly knew that he wouldn't be able to take it back, but he had earned that money with great difficulty. In the blink of an eye, he no longer had any business.
[Who dares to come out and wander around the capital now?] Everyone passed the time in waves of fear.
Having had his men return and settle down his shop and mansion, Song Xiangsi felt that he could no longer sit still and wait for death.
Song Xiangsi was only at ease when she was with Meng Yuan Xuan.
That night, Song Xiangsi, dressed in night clothes, reached the outskirts of the Imperial Palace in the dark. She was very careful, as if she would look back three times at a time and be cute if anyone saw her.
However, this was a battlefield. Not only was it extremely easy for her to be discovered, she could not detect any suspicious people or things.
At this moment, when Bai Ruo, who was standing on the roof, saw her like this, she couldn't help but descend from the roof and bring the person up.
"Since you're so scared, why would you want to come out?" A familiar voice resounded above her head. Song Xiangsi knew that this person definitely knew her.
However, he couldn't remember who it was no matter how hard he tried. It was as if he had suddenly forgotten. He turned around and realized it was Bai Ruo.
"You … I... Long time no see. " She stuttered for a long time, and the last few words that came out of her mouth made Bai Ruo smile.
It had been a long time since they last saw each other. Back then, in order to help her and Meng Ling Xuan achieve their goals, he had left the capital.
He didn't expect that the next time he came back, it would be at such a time. As soon as Bai Ruo arrived, she went to the Prince's Mansion to look for Song Xiangsi. Fortunately, she was still fine.
"Indeed, long time no see. "Where are you going now, sister-in-law? I'll take you there." It was not an order, but an order. With how dangerous it was now, Bai Ruo would not let Song Xiangsi go alone.
"Eh? Actually, no, I can do it myself. But if you insist on sending me there, that's fine too. But you won't go away later, will you? "
There was a kind of desire for others to bring her along, but she was also afraid that if Bai Ruo could not always protect her, Song Xiangsi's little thoughts would be seen through.
Even though he was someone who could be said to be able to beat three gangsters in the modern world, in this era, other people knew how to play lightness skills. If he used some tricks, he really wouldn't be able to live!
"Don't worry, I'll bring you to find your husband." Bai Ruo patted Song Xiangsi's head, wanting to give her some sense of security.
This feeling was very familiar, but he really wanted to resist. Song Xiangsi felt that Bai Ruo's attitude towards him was considered to be surpassing her, so she showed a very rejecting attitude.
No matter what, Bai Ruo finally brought Song Xiangsi safely into the palace from the heads of the guards that surrounded the palace.
He really did feel like he was flying. Song Xiangsi only felt as if her body suddenly lost all weight before she reached the palace.
She saw that Meng Ling Xuan, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, seemed to have lost some of his weight. However, his expression was still as cold as ever. Beside him was the Emperor. The two of them were playing chess.
Meng Ling Xuan's hearing was very sharp. How could he hide such a small sound? He knew that there were people on the beams, so he was a little surprised. Who else would want to enter the Imperial Palace without batting an eyelid?
"Who are you?" Why aren't you coming out yet? " Meng Ling Xuan's voice was very penetrating. Song Xiangsi really wanted to rush over immediately, but she could not.
She was now by Bai Ruo's side. Even if she wanted to go down, the roof was so high and she couldn't fly. How was she going to go down?
Bai Ruo who was at the side acted as if she was watching a show. She had no intention of leaving. Since he did not understand, Song Xiangsi naturally could only follow him and not move.
"Sigh!" "Bro, look at how my husband is calling me. Can I go down now?" Song Xiangsi tugged on the corner of Bai Ruo's clothes and carefully probed. She also did not understand why she had to freeze on the roof in such a cold weather.
The weather was not cold, but the temperature difference at night was rather large. Song Xiangsi felt a slight chill.
Perhaps because she felt the coldness of the person beside her, Bai Ruo affectionately pulled her down. After all, this woman wasn't hers.
