The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

The person who was speaking was a young woman, wearing an elegant peach-pink dress embroidered with gold, which was very eye-catching. The women around her were also dressed exquisitely and elegantly, and it was obvious that they were of high status.

Mu Lianzhi barely recognized him when he glanced at him.

Her background and status were not enough to allow her to participate in upper-class social activities. The few palace activities she had luckily attended were basically just a familiar sight. Except for the ones she paid special attention to, she was completely in the dark and had no idea of ​​her own identity.

But anyone who caught her attention had a grudge against her, and even if they were familiar with her, they would never stand on her side.

But everyone had a deep impression of her. Add to that the complicated relationships between Beitang Yi and the various factions, most people were envious, jealous and resentful of her. Those who wanted to make friends with her did not dare to step forward in such occasions.

So, for a moment, no one spoke, but many people stood on the same front with the woman:

"Hey, the tiger is not at home, and the monkey wants to climb up the tree and be the king? Don't you know where you are?"

"That's right. Let alone your status, even if it's about the seniority, it's not your turn to give orders, right? People from small families are really bad, they don't know any rules at all."

"Yes, this is the imperial palace, how could there be any danger?"

"Madam Beitang, we call you Madam because we are giving face to Master Beitang. Do you really think you are second to none? Don't listen to her."

The woman waved her hand. Seeing that the crowd, who had just quieted down a little, was about to disperse, Mu Lianzhi also became a little angry. She straightened her body and shouted angrily:

"If you are deaf, go find a place where you can listen."

"You are not afraid of death, but you don't care about the old, weak, women and children here? If something goes wrong, who among you can take the responsibility? What's wrong with the palace? The palace is so big, there can't be any omissions, assassins can't get in, and people can't die?"

"If you are not well-informed, just shut up!"

"You know who this lady is, but you still want to argue with her. With all your abilities, why don't you persuade the Grand Secretary to take the exam for the top military scholar, and let the civil officials go into battle to kill the enemy?"

"Don't you know what prevention is?"

"Do you think I want to cause trouble here? Isn't I considering your safety?"

Mu Lianzhi almost said, "Are you all waiting to be slaughtered?"

Her face darkened, her voice rose, and her cold aura was fully released. Suddenly, everyone around her was stunned, and the meaning of her few words was also very clear:

She is the wife of Beitang Yi, the master of Yutian Pavilion, and she has inside information.

As she expected, as soon as she said this, the people in the courtyard became hesitant. They looked at each other, obviously unsure.

At this time, some people pushed the leaders, and some people spoke to ease the atmosphere:

"Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Beitang, we are all here to have fun, so don't hurt the harmony. If you have anything to say, just say it out loud."

"Yeah, no one has any ill intentions."

As he was speaking, there was a sudden "bang" sound, and the ground seemed to tremble faintly. Someone screamed:

"Did you hear anything?"

There was an obvious commotion in the field, and everyone instinctively turned around and looked around.

The sound of fighting drifted in, and it was very clear if you listened carefully. Someone's face changed in fear in an instant. Mu Lianzhi heard it more clearly, and she raised her hand again and shouted:

"Those who don't know martial arts, take your children inside and go east. Those who know martial arts and bring their servants will stay behind. Everyone should support and take care of each other, and don't crowd."

"This is the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Guards are all around. As long as we don't make a scene, nothing will happen. Just wait for the guards to arrive."

As Mu Lianzhi was speaking, there was a sudden "bang" and a man in black fell directly into the wall. A bloody knife flew towards them, scaring the nearby women so much that they screamed and the scene became chaotic.

Leng Yun kicked the knife away with a tip of his toes. Leng Yu also flew over to help. Mu Lianzhi then jumped directly onto the corridor step and shouted:

"Everyone, go inside. Keep calm. Those who are good at fighting and strong should stay outside to be on guard!"

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was actually breached. With a few loud bangs, several guards and eunuchs fell to the ground, spitting blood. Several men in black also rushed into the courtyard with knives. Seeing this scene, Mu Lianzhi was really stunned.

Apparently, the palace also had protection arrangements for the courtyards of the female members of the family.

According to common sense, if someone really wanted to do something today, shouldn't they go to the Hanlin Academy or the place where the treasure is hidden in the palace? Why would they really come to this courtyard to kill the female relatives?

The reason she spoke just now was really because she saw the child's sudden flash of inspiration and wanted to be prepared for any eventuality.

Not right.

Could it be that someone is trying to take advantage of the situation and attack one of the women here or is trying to stir up some trouble?

Thinking of this, Mu Lianzhi broke out in a cold sweat:

"Go inside and close the door!"

After jumping down, Mu Lianzhi waved and pushed the women towards the inner room:

"Shadow Six, go help!"

"Miss, please go in first~"

"I'm fine, go quickly, they can't hold on, let's die together, go!"

Mu Lianzhi shouted, and Ying Liu picked up a long sword on the ground and flew over. Mu Lianzhi helped a woman who was about to fall and quickly pushed her to the maid, then turned around and hugged the little girl beside him.

After helping to push everyone into the house, Mu Lianzhi turned around and said:

"Close the door, close the door quickly, no one inside is allowed to come out."

"Everyone, come together! Stop them at all costs and wait until the reinforcements arrive!"

Except for a few family members of generals, most of the guards outside the door were servants. They slammed the door shut. Mu Lianzhi didn't know martial arts, so she could only dodge, observe, and try to find a solution.

Who is this directed at?

With a quick glance, she discovered that the old lady from Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion and Yu Miaoxin were also fighting hard. The old and the young were really beyond her expectations.

The two had some martial arts skills, but they were obviously not very powerful. They could only help rescue the soldiers and eunuchs on the ground. Mu Lianzhi put on gloves, moved towards the two, and pushed them back:

"Old Madam Yu, Miss Yu, you can't help here. The people in the house need you to calm them down and keep them under control. Leave this to me. Go and hold them down. Don't make any more trouble. Leave this to me."

Signaling them to take away a seriously injured guard, Mu Lianzhi took advantage of their inattention and broke the neck of a man in black, then shouted:

"Everyone, team up three against one, back to back, kill!"

"Cold Cloud and Cold Rain, both defense and assist, Shadow Six, send a signal for help!"

As soon as she said this, everyone in the field moved.

The guards who were originally scattered, at a disadvantage or injured helped each other in defense, and their fighting power was obviously improved. The black-clothed men were few and scattered, and with the help of Leng Yun and Leng Yu's appropriate attack, the soldiers who were originally forced to retreat were able to resist the offensive. Their confidence increased greatly, and they fought hard -
