outside the imperial city

Jing Junxi looked to the east.The forbidden area of ​​the palace, but heard the noise of the crowd talking over there.

"The one in front is the west gate of the imperial palace." Gongsun Liu stretched out his fingers from the thick cloak, "You can go in directly, and the soldiers guarding the gate will not stop you. But after you go in, you have to defend against Lin Jun. I That good brother, even though he is still in the Royal Forest Army, has also been demoted."

"Then you said that before to reassure Mr. Yao and Grandpa Cao?" Jing Junxi hugged Qiulianjian tightly.

Gongsun Liu blushed: "Wow, how can there be? In short, go quickly. Be careful in everything, as long as you don't do anything out of line, they won't hurt you. But if you are arrested, you can't go again I'm looking for the emperor."

"Oh, okay." Jing Junxi took a deep breath and walked towards Ximen.

Gongsun Liu watched him enter the door, and lowered the brim of his hat: "Next, I'll go meet my old subordinates."

Jing Junxi walked to the entrance of the west gate of the palace, hesitated for a moment, and then climbed up the steps.There were two guards guarding the gate. Jing Junxi looked left and right, and found that the guard on the right nodded slightly to him.

A few steps of steps, but it seems very long to walk.Walking through this door, he is no longer Jing Junxi who was protected by Master and Mr. Yao, but Ji Pengcheng, the last descendant of the court and royal family who everyone shouts and beats.No one can protect him except himself.

Jing Junxi pinned Qiulian to his waist, slapped himself on the face with both hands, and said to himself in his heart: "Cheer up, Jing Junxi! It's just to find the emperor, it's no big deal!"

Fortunately, he grew up in the palace, so he was not frightened when he entered the door.Jing Junxi was wearing the prince's uniform that Gongsun Liu had given him from nowhere, and with the face of the Ninth Prince on his face, he walked cautiously into the depths.

"Ninth Prince," someone stopped him, "Why are you here?"

Jing Junxi turned his head tremblingly.He will not change his voice, and he has never heard the voice of the Ninth Prince, if he speaks, he will definitely reveal his secrets.

It was soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who stopped him.Seeing that his expression was not right, the soldier asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable about you? This, this, what else is around your waist?"

Qiulian!Seeing him stretching out his hand to grab it, Jing Junxi immediately hugged the sword in his arms, pouted and shook his head.

"Ninth Prince, what's the matter with you?" the soldier asked, "Do you need me to escort you back?"

Jing Junxi shook his head, and walked in the direction of the queen's bedroom.Soldiers followed.Jing Junxi suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Presumptuous!"

He spoke quickly and anxiously, thinking that the soldier couldn't tell the difference.

"Okay, okay, I see." The soldier was frightened by his sudden anger, and retreated, "I won't follow you anymore."

Jing Junxi took a few steps forward, walked around an alley, confirmed that there were no footsteps coming from behind, and then turned to another direction.

It's just a soldier, so it's so hard to fool, what if there are more?Jing Junxi put his hand on Qiulian's sword hilt, ready to draw the sword out of its sheath at any time.

The west side of the palace is basically the sleeping quarters of the concubines, and there are relatively few guards on patrol. Jing Junxi stepped down bravely, but the guards he met were only three or five, and none of them were as warm-hearted as the first soldier.All the way unimpeded.

But it is not the case when it is close to the queen's bedroom.More than a dozen people walked back and forth in front of the Queen's bedroom, and most of them were women, pretending to be enjoying the flowers and drinking tea, but they were actually guarding the door.

Maid?It seems that the emperor is inside.Jing Junxi thought about it in his heart, how to lure them away?

Before Yao Fanglan left, he gave Jing Junxi three pills, each of which has different uses, but unfortunately there is only one of each, it depends on how to use it.

Jing Junxi squatted in the corner, and took out a small bag containing pills from his arms.Although there were only three pills, Xiao Doudou was already stuffed to the brim.Jing Junxi dug out for a while, took out a red pill, and held it in his palm.

What Jing Junxi knows now is only the most basic swordsmanship and physical skills.He doesn't know how to do light work, and he can't do things like Jing Lishuo and Yao Zanglan, so his actions are greatly restricted.If only I had worked harder before.

Jing Junxi squatted down and walked back against the wall.When he got to the door, Jing Junxi squeezed the pill and smashed it towards the wooden door. The pill exploded and several sparks burst out.Jing Junxi quickly shook the burning grass in his sleeves onto the sparks, and the sparks immediately turned into flames.

"On-fire-la-"

After Jing Junxi shouted, he went out from another direction.

The maids and guards guarding in front of the queen's bedroom heard his cry, and they all stood up as expected, and ran towards the direction closest to the fire source.Jing Junxi smiled and slipped into the queen's bedroom.

"That's it?" A maid stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Another maid also stopped.

"I seem to see the Ninth Prince... Oh, forget it," the maid shook her head, "Let's go."

The queen's bedroom is not too big, Jing Junxi quickly went around and found nothing.

"No way, if there is nothing, why are there so many people at the door?" Jing Junxi thought to himself, "Or do you want to make people think that there is something here, and then set up a trap? No, I have to hurry while those people are not there." Come back and get out of here."

He took a few steps outside, felt wrong again, and turned back.Yao Fanglan said that the emperor is likely to be in the queen's bedroom. If he knows the queen well, he should be right.Let's check it out again.

Having made up his mind, Jing Junxi's first thought was to get under the bed to take a look, but unfortunately, there was nothing.He lifted the bed curtain again, but still found nothing.

By the way, what is this woman thinking, even the emperor dares to hide it.I've only heard of the golden house of Cangjiao, but I haven't heard of her husband.Jing Junxi opened the closet angrily, and the closet was full of all kinds of brocade clothes, which dazzled him.

"Is this okay? Everyone is still putting out the fire and saving people. I don't know why there is such a big fire all of a sudden." The maid's voice sounded, and Jing Junxi reflexively got into the closet and closed the door.

Something hit his back, Jing Junxi covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming.

Another maid said: "However, I still care a little bit. If the Ninth Prince really came, but we didn't entertain him well, the empress would be angry when she came back."

The two maids looked around the room, but found nothing.One of them said: "Look, no. Let's go back and help everyone."

The other said: "Well, it seems that I was really wrong."

When Jing Junxi heard their footsteps going away, he turned around to see what was hurting him.

"One..." Jing Junxi didn't know how to describe it, so he simply twirled the black thing with his hands.Suddenly the back of the closet opened, like a door.

An aisle stretched in, and only the dim candlelight came out.Jing Junxi swallowed his saliva, held Qiulian tightly and walked inside.

It is connected to a secret room that is not too small. There is a bed, a table and a chair, and there are expensive landscape paintings on the wall.Fragments of the bowl were scattered on the floor, as if there had been a previous dispute here.

Lying on the bed alone, skinny, but still full of energy.

He is sleeping.Trapped in such a place, but still sleeping so peacefully.If not Emperor Shaoxuan, who else could it be?

Emperor Shaoxuan.Jing Junxi's fingers tightened suddenly.This is Emperor Naiyun, the chief culprit who ordered the destruction of his country and massacred his family.He didn't want to hate Jing Yanshuo, so all the hatred was directed to this defenseless emperor.

Now, even he can kill Emperor Shaoxuan.By killing Emperor Shaoxuan, his revenge was complete.From now on, he can be himself at ease.

Jing Junxi's face became weird, and Qiulian unsheathed three points, bringing out a ray of light.It was that ray of light that calmed him down.

It was Jing Junxi, not Ji Pengcheng.He promised Jing Yanshuo that he would not retrieve that name and everything related to that name before leaving the teacher.If he killed Emperor Shaoxuan here, what would Yao Fanglan do?What should Jing Yanshuo do?

He really liked the two of them and regarded them as his family.They saved their supposed enemy and raised him, knowing that he might later retaliate with what he learned from them.They protected him, trusted him, encouraged him, and praised him.Moreover, they are very strong, and they are like the sun to Jing Junxi.If I hadn't met them, I might still not be able to get out of the shadows and live the life of a normal child.

That day, in the mountain temple, he made a wish.It's not about success in revenge, nor is it about becoming the strongest in the world, but I hope that he, Jing Lishuo and Yao Zanglan can all live well.Yao Fanglan said that one day he will spread his wings and take off, but before that, he still wants to live with the two of them, learn from them, and enjoy their care for him.

He no longer wants to lose his family again.

What's more, now that the wings are not fully grown, if he kills Emperor Shaoxuan like this, he will definitely not be able to escape the chasing and killing of the rebels.

Jing Junxi took Qiulian back into the sheath, looked back at Emperor Shaoxuan, and walked out of the secret room.Next, just tell Yao Fanglan the location of Emperor Shaoxuan.Jing Junxi was about to open the wardrobe door when he heard discussions.The person who was talking to him this time was far away, so he quickly stopped his hands and listened attentively.

"what happened?"

"I heard that Yao Fanglan and Sun Jing, the magistrate of Beicheng Prefecture, joined forces with Lord Xie Cexie to cause trouble in the main hall. The troops and horses mobilized by the empress are rushing to the palace. I just received an order, let us also go to the main hall as soon as possible."

Jing Junxi put four fingers into his mouth together.My God, Master, you are playing too much, Master will really level the entire Jingyang City if something goes wrong.

It is actually very simple to save Yao Fanglan, but with his strength, it may not be possible to do it.It's dead anyway, fight it!

Jing Junxi turned and went back to the secret room, went to Emperor Shaoxuan's bed, and shook him: "Your Majesty, wake up."

Emperor Shaoxuan opened his eyes and sat up: "Qianyang? Why are you here?"

"I'm not the Ninth Prince." Jing Junxi said politely, "I'm a disciple of King Jinyuan, and this face was disguised by Mr. Yao Fanglan for me. Can you go now?"

Emperor Shaoxuan said happily, "Jian Shuo and Zang Lan are back? How's it going outside now?"

Jing Junxi said: "Please listen to me calmly. My master is on his way back from dispatching troops. Mr. Yao is dealing with the queen in the main hall. Your son Bei Qianling is going to the allies and will soon arrive in Jingyang."

"Very good, very good." Emperor Shaoxuan put on his shoes and stood on the ground, "I've been waiting for this day for a month."

"However," Jing Junxi said, "now all the officials in the court and the barracks in the city are in the hands of the Queen. Mr. Yao was arrested by her, and neither Master nor Prince Li came back. She is still mobilizing troops and preparing to suppress it by force. Now support outside the palace."

Emperor Shaoxuan's face sank all of a sudden: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that she didn't stop. It was my fault. I shouldn't have let her of unknown origin enter the palace in the first place."

"Do you know that she slaughtered the entire Yao family, as well as the former King Jinyuan and his wife?"

Emperor Shaoxuan hadn't been so shocked for a long time: "What did you say?"

Jing Junxi realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately fell silent.

"I'm so confused. Jingyang, Xichen, I'm sorry for you." Emperor Shaoxuan wiped his face, "Son, what's your name?"

At that moment, Jing Junxi felt that he should tell this person that his name was Ji Pengcheng, and he was the descendant of the dynasty and royal family that you destroyed.Look at you, you have fallen so low that you let the enemy save you.

But he didn't.

"King Jinyuan bestowed the name Jing Junxi."

Emperor Shaoxuan didn't ask why Jing Shuo named him: "Jun Xi, are you willing to take me away from this place? I must stop that woman from doing anything wrong."

"That's exactly what I mean." Jing Junxi clasped his fists and said.
