Could it be that their target is someone from the palace?

Ever since Shangshu Yao Wenchang was killed in the palace, the number of guards patrolling the palace has increased significantly.

Li Heng said that the matter of Minister Yao was very complicated. Xu Jinyi was now in Wei Prison, but his life was not in danger. This was completely different from the rumors in the palace that Xu Jinyi would be executed in the autumn.

In other words, the real murderer is someone else, and Xu Jinyi is currently taking the blame.

why?

Who is the real murderer that the court has to go to such great lengths to conceal?

Just as Ji Xingyao was daydreaming, she moved her ears slightly and heard very soft voices outside.

The pronunciation was very strange, she had never heard it before.

She moved her body slowly, trying not to make any noise, and finally reached the wall, where sporadic voices came into her ears.

“**$$%%>….”

“*%……%”

Very obvious foreign accent, they are from southern Xinjiang!

Ji Xingyao held his breath, his heart pounding.

The people of Southern Xinjiang and the people of Taifeng experienced a century-long war, with heavy casualties on both sides.

The hatred between the two nations has been passed down from generation to generation and has accumulated from generation to generation. The disgust for each other has penetrated deep into their bones.

The dispute over southern Xinjiang became a major concern for every Taifeng emperor.

Therefore, when the King of Southern Xinjiang offered his daughter to marry, Li Zhao agreed almost immediately.

Once the southern border is unified, Li Zhao will become an emperor unprecedented in the Taifeng Dynasty.

However, the transactions between the royal families will not change the hatred between the people in the short term.

The people from southern Xinjiang kidnapped her and her life was in danger.

She just wanted to accompany Wen Yuan peacefully for three months, and then return to the modern era smoothly. She didn't want to encounter death again.

The pain of death was so unforgettable that she always woke up in the middle of the night. She could only calm down when she opened her eyes and saw the night light above her head.

At this moment, the only thing you can do is save yourself.

Ji Xingyao's hands were tied behind his back, making it very inconvenient for him to move.

Fortunately, her waist was flexible. After she bent her waist, she curled up her legs and passed them through the arms, and her bound hands returned to her front.

She tore off the black cloth covering her eyes, and after adjusting to the strong light, she found herself in a dilapidated temple.

The Bodhisattva in the middle of the temple was covered with spider webs, the gold paint on the upper body of the Bodhisattva was mottled, the wooden beam above the head was broken, and there was a big hole in the roof. Ji Xingyao was currently under this hole.

Through the leaky window, she saw three people from southern Xinjiang.

The people of southern Xinjiang wore Han Chinese clothing, and their deep-cut ethnic features were very obvious, and it was obvious at a glance that they were not from Taifeng.

This dilapidated temple only has a main entrance and exit, and the people from Southern Xinjiang are not far from the main entrance, so her chances of escaping are slim.

How to do?

She had no self-defense equipment on her body, and the knot on her wrist was very special, made by the people of southern Xinjiang. Ji Xingyao tried to bite the rope with her mouth, but she couldn't bite it open after trying for a long time.

Time passed by minute by minute, and her chance of escape became zero.

In Yonghe Palace, Li Zhao was comforting the anxious Wen Yuan.

Just as he coaxed Wen Yuan into drinking some lychee honey, a guard outside the palace came asking to see him.

Eunuch Zhou whispered in Li Zhao's ear, "Your Majesty, traces of people from Southern Xinjiang have been found in the suburbs of Beijing."

After the envoys from Southern Xinjiang sent Amire to the imperial palace, they had already left the capital. Why are there still people from Southern Xinjiang in the capital?

Li Zhao's expression remained unchanged. He waited for Wen Yuan to finish drinking the lychee honey before standing up and saying, "A Yuan, you should have a good rest. I'm leaving first."

"Your Majesty, Ling'er..."

"I'm here, don't worry."

Li Zhao's words made Wen Yuan feel a little relieved. Now that she was pregnant, she couldn't go anywhere and could only place her hopes on others.

This feeling made her very uncomfortable, but she was stuck in the quagmire and had no choice but to rely on others.

She prayed in her heart that Ji Xingyao was safe.

As Li Zhao stepped out of the Yonghe Palace, his expression suddenly changed.

"Where are they in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Li Zhao had already arranged guards outside the capital, and any news about people from southern Xinjiang would be reported immediately.
