Chapter 63 Telling the Heart [2]

The vertical arched hall that stood majestically for hundreds of years collapsed in the sea of ​​flames.

Zhao Fengci handed Zhu Rong over to the imperial doctor who came in a hurry. He ignored the burnt leg and began to look around for Wen Xuechao.Just before he rushed into the hall to save people, he had told Wen Xuechao to stand far away to avoid being hurt by the collapsed wooden beams.Now that the Chuigong Hall was razed to the ground by the fire, the Zhenbei Army and the Habayashi Guards had rushed to the harem to fight the fire. The colonnade was burning with a "cracking" sound, and the surroundings fell into silence.

A charred token slipped out of Zhao Fengci's sleeve and fell into the embers all over the ground.He stretched out his hand to pick up the token, and there was a burning tingle from his fingertips, before he realized that the prince was dead.

The billowing smoke from the imperial city went straight to the sky, and the flames illuminated half of the sky.

Behind him, Yubayashi Wei led the horse, Zhao Fengci tied the wound on his knee with sackcloth, gritted his teeth and got on the horse: "Let's go."

He had to go to the harem immediately with the prince's token to prevent the prince's troops in each palace from lighting the fire letter.

As for Wen Xuechao, even if he searched the entire Miyagi, he still had to find his whereabouts.

Zhao Feng resigned with the crown prince's badge and issued an order to the surviving Xuanpao army. The Zhenbei army and Yulin guards worked together, and within half an hour, most of the eyes and ears of the prince who had been placed in the palaces were captured.He confirmed that Concubine Yue was fine, and as soon as he walked out of Renming Palace, he saw Bai Wan bringing Habayashi Wei to report.

"Your Highness, the charred corpse found in the middle palace is not the queen." Bai Wan's face was serious, "Habayashi Wei said that there was a chariot coming out of the middle palace at Haishi, and the queen probably ran away at that time."

As soon as Bai Wan finished speaking, a lieutenant general of the Yandong Army also dismounted in front of Renming Palace, and stepped forward to report to Zhao Fengci: "Your Highness, the guards at the southern city gate are here to report. Wen Shizhen saw that the prince was defeated. He took the family members of the mansion and a hundred guards, killed the city gate guards, and escaped from the city overnight."

Zhao Fengci froze for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Send someone to chase immediately."

He paused, as if he suddenly thought of something, he called to the retreating lieutenant general: "If you meet a family member of Wenfu, no matter male or female, you must be captured alive."

"Yes!"

Although he knew that the thought in his mind was too absurd, that thought was always lingering.Wen Xuechao disappeared from Miyagi out of thin air, could it be that she followed the Wen family?

The fire in the harem was gradually brought under control. Except for the middle palace and several surrounding palaces that were destroyed by the fire, most of the rest of the palace were not affected due to the timely discovery of Huoxinzi.

Zhao Fengci led his men and horses to rummage through the palace halls, looking for traces of Wen Xuechao.The eunuchs and court ladies stood several rows in front of the corridor, waiting tremblingly for the sergeant to come forward to search for them.

They quietly set their eyes on King Huai not far away.This master defeated His Highness the Crown Prince and became the new master of the imperial city overnight, but there was no trace of ecstasy on his face.The whole body exudes a creepy coldness, which makes people shudder.

Zhao Fengci didn't find anyone in the harem, and was about to take someone to continue searching the front palace, but he heard Bai Wan sent the guards of the Habayashi to report that he had been found.

With Wen Xuechao's whereabouts, Zhao Fengci's heart suddenly dropped: "Where is the other person?"

Habayashi Wei bowed his head: "Master Bai said that the young master is in the racecourse outside Yanfu Palace."

*****

Wen Xuechao and Zhao Fengci witnessed Zhu Rong rushing into the Chuigong Hall, and the figure was gradually engulfed by the flames.

Before Wen Xuechao could speak, Zhao Fengci said: "Go to Bai Wan's people first, don't move around, I'll save her."

The matter is urgent and there is no room for further consideration.Standing in a dark corner, Zhao Fengci stretched out his hand to caress the corner of Wen Xuechao's eyes while there was no one around, and then led the guards in front of the hall, and rushed straight to the burning Chuigong Hall.

There was still a little warmth in the end of her eyes, Wen Xue smiled lowly, turned around and walked towards Habayashi guard who stayed behind at the bottom of the steps.

Bai Wan dispatched most of the Habayashi guards to put out the fire in the harem, and the rest were all outstanding martial arts fighters in the Habayashi army, staying to protect King Huai's safety.When everyone saw Xue Chao approaching, they all nodded to him.They didn't know Wen Xuechao's real identity, they only knew that he was the personal guard sent by Lord Bai to His Highness.

Wen Xuechao saw them chatting in a circle, she didn't step forward to interrupt, but stood quietly not far away, hiding her face under the helmet.

"Lord Bai said in the past that the prince's faction is no longer good, and only by following His Royal Highness Huai Wang." A Habayashi Wei said, "Now that the crown prince's power is gone, His Highness Huai Wang may be safe for the seat above."

"That's hard to say," another Habayashi guard glanced at Wen Xue, who was not far away, and said in a low voice, "Before entering the palace today, my father mentioned to me that tomorrow morning, the elders of the second courtyard pavilion will unite the six departments. Impeach His Highness Huai Wang."

Wen Xue frowned.Most of the Habayashi Army came from the children of officials with high martial arts skills. Presumably the father of this Habayashi Guard was an official of the court.

"His Royal Highness King Huai is holding the left and right tiger talismans, and what he did was justified, so what's the point of impeachment?" Another Habayashi guard interjected.

"Haven't you heard? His Royal Highness King Huai led his troops to surround the Imperial Prison yesterday and let go of the collaborator and traitor Wen-sama." Habayashi Wei said, "Didn't Wen Youcheng commit a capital crime? The Holy Majesty issued an order to kill, It will be cut off tomorrow, but who would have thought that something like this would happen again."

"The crown prince's affairs have failed, and the Wen family may also be implicated this time, right?"

"It's not just being implicated, the Wen family has been domineering in Guangyang for so many years relying on the influence of the court, and has already become a thorn in the eyes of the adults." The guard of the habayashi raised his eyebrows and said, "Just wait and see, Wen This time, I am afraid that the death penalty will be inevitable."

Several Habayashi guards were still talking about Wen's grievances with the royal family with relish, and they didn't pay attention to when the personal guard who was standing not far away left.

The entire imperial palace was in chaos tonight, naturally no one came to the racecourse outside Yanfu Palace.

Wen Xuechao bypassed the roadside path and walked into the stable.The moonlight sprinkled on the vast and empty grass field, melting his figure with the night.

Bingtao was the first to discover the existence of its master. It shook its mane at the approaching Wen Xuechao, and the bell around its neck rang pleasantly.Wen Xuechao took advantage of the moonlight outside the window to release the shackles on Bingtao.Bingtao hadn't seen his master for a long time, so he lowered his head and rubbed Wen Xuechao's shoulder with his horse's head vigorously.

"Let's go, let's take you for another run." Wen Xuechao stroked Bing Tao's snow-white mane and said softly.

Ever since he entered Zhongshu Province, he has been busy with court affairs all day long, and he hasn't been to the racecourse for a long time.Wen Xuechao got on his horse and pulled Bingtao's reins tightly.Bingtao got the order and rushed into the night like an arrow.

Wen Xuechao felt a little pain when the bumps hit the scar on his back.However, after running a few laps along the track, the familiarity on the horse came back.He gradually forgot the pain in his back and immersed himself in the freedom of galloping between heaven and earth.

The autumn wind whizzed past against his cheeks, and Wen Xuechao recalled the scene when he was 15 years old and lured Zhao Fengci to the racecourse by tricks, and entangled him in the race.

Teenagers don't recognize sadness and love to go upstairs.

Today, the knowledge is full of sorrow, and I want to say something.

Bing Tao spread his hooves and ran forward, running very happily.Wen Xue looked at the thick night in the distance, and slowly let go of the right hand holding the rope.That year, he was teetering on horseback, and Zhao Fengci hugged him from behind.At this time, there was no one beside him, if he really accidentally fell off the horse, it would be considered a one hundred and one thing.

Suddenly, he heard Zhao Fengci's voice behind him: "Wen Xuechao!"

Wen Xuechao thought it was his own illusion, how could Zhao Fengci know that he was here?When he came back to his senses, a sharp horse cry had torn through the sky, and Zhao Fengci rode his horse and galloped towards Wen Xuechao.

"You don't want to die?" Zhao Fengci sternly shouted, then leaned forward and grabbed Bing Tao's hanging reins.

Bing Tao slowed down and kept pace with Zhao Fengci's horse.Zhao Fengci looked at Wen Xuechao on the horseback, and saw a wanton smile on the corner of his mouth, and the stars in his eyes shone brightly against the moonlight.

Just like when I was a teenager.

Zhao Fengci's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Highness, I didn't drink any alcohol today." Wen Xue said with a smile.

"En." Zhao Fengci didn't say anything, just bowed his head and kissed him.Wen Xuechao closed her eyes, and seriously responded to his kiss.

The moonlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the snow-white mane of Bing Tao.

"Xue Chao, everything is over."

"Let's go home."

*****

The Tai uterus failed, and died in the Chuigong Palace.King Huai raised his troops to rescue him, and returned with a great victory.The whole Wen family fled overnight and were captured by Zhenbei Army in the outer suburbs.

The sky in the capital changed overnight, and the Second Court of the Central Committee issued an order overnight to call all the ministers into the palace to discuss matters.The courtiers didn't sleep well all night, and they changed into court clothes early the next morning, and went to the palace for the morning court with their own thoughts.

The Chuigong Hall has been burned to ashes in a big fire, and it was changed to the Jiying Hall in the early dynasty.As soon as the cars of the ministers stopped outside the Meridian Gate, they saw the burned corridors on both sides of the palace road, and they felt a little uneasy.

Although King Huai saved Shengjia, the emperor only has one breath left.Today's morning court is presided over by the elders of the two courts, and His Royal Highness King Huai must also be present.I don't know what this guy is thinking now, but he already has plans for the position of Nine Dragons.

When everyone entered the Jiying Hall, they saw that King Huai had already stood under Dan Chi, and there was no one else beside him except a guard with a knife.The ministers didn't know how to address him now, so they could only kowtow and salute, shouting "Your Highness, thousand years old".

King Huai asked all the ministers to stand up with a calm face.

The envoys of the Nei Zang Ku made a copy of the damage in the palace and presented it. After the elders in the pavilion looked it up one by one, they handed it over to King Huai.The rest of the ministers didn't dare to make a sound, they just lowered their heads and listened to the elders talking with King Huai.

Mentioning that all of Wen's family members had been captured, the expression on King Huai's face finally changed, and he casually glanced behind him.The bodyguard was quite responsible, standing still in place.

"The old man has something to play." Yushi Zhongcheng suddenly stepped forward, and said unabashedly to King Huai, "Yesterday, the Yushitai listened to all the officials and jointly impeached His Highness for leading the army to surround the imperial prison."

King Huai obviously didn't expect to be embarrassed by Yushitai, his face turned a little cold.

"The state has rules and regulations, and the hall has court guidelines. All the officials have played, and His Highness has violated the taboo of the court by covering up treacherous ministers. Wen Yu, as a remnant of the Wen family, has brought disaster to the country and the people, and disturbed the court. I hope that His Highness will make a clear decision on this matter. Disregarding the law of the country for one's own personal interests."

"I hope His Highness will make a clear decision!" Wu knelt down in the hall.

Zhao Fengci hastily flipped through the papers presented by the Yushitai, and he understood most of it in his heart.The courtiers who participated in the impeachment were headed by the elders of the court, and they had more or less ties with the Wen family.Now if we don't take advantage of this golden opportunity to drive Wen's family to extinction, these people are afraid that something will happen to them, and they will sleep restlessly every day.

King Huai glanced coldly at the important officials in the palace, and his eyes fell on Bai Wan: "Master Bai also thinks the same?"

Bai Wan suddenly felt distressed, he did not kneel down with all the officials, knowing that His Highness was asking him to stand up and support him.So he took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I think—"

Before Bai Wan could speak in the future, a sudden change occurred in the Jiying Hall.

The bodyguard behind King Huai suddenly moved, he pulled out the Habayashi sword from his waist, and placed it neatly on King Huai's neck.

Bai Wan realized that the situation was wrong, and ran forward first, only to realize that he had unloaded his saber, and now he had nothing beside him.

The bodyguard threw the light helmet on the ground, and the people in the palace were shocked when they saw his face clearly.Who is this "guard" standing behind King Huai, if not Wen Ji?

"Let the people from Wenfu leave the city immediately," Wen Xue said in a deep voice, "otherwise I will kill Zhao Fengci."

Slightly flicking the blade forward, King Huai's side neck was soaked with blood.

Everyone didn't expect such a big reversal, and they all froze in place.

Bai Wan was also stunned for a moment: "Master Wen, Your Highness the Fifth Highness, this..." Where did this come from?

Zhao Fengci's eyes turned from astonishment to fierceness, and he was about to poke a hole in Wen Xuechao's body.

He understood what Wen Xuechao wanted to do.

The author has something to say: Teenagers don't know how to feel sad, but fall in love with the upper floors.Now that I know all the sorrow, I want to say it.Xin Qiji's "Ugly Slave · Shubo Mountain Road Middle Wall"
