The palace maid Zhang Caihua hurried into the room holding up her skirt, "My dear concubine, something bad has happened. The thieves have broken into the palace and are killing people everywhere." The concubine had already heard the rumors and asked in a trembling voice: "Where are the guards? No one is there. Stop the traitors?" "The guards stood by and watched. Everyone said that His Majesty was killed, and that it was the women in the palace who killed him, so the traitors wanted to kill all the women in the palace." "Your Majesty is really" " It seems like this. No one has seen your Majesty for a month. ""A month? The last time I saw your Majesty was half a year ago," the imperial concubine said quietly, thinking of the past love, it felt like a lifetime ago, and then she realized the danger at hand. , "What should I do? Where has everyone gone?" "The Queen Mother is hiding, the concubines have their own places to go, and the noble concubine must find a way quickly." "Iwhere am I going? I don't know anyone. "Isn't the Loulan Kingdom's delegation living in the Huaixi Pavilion outside the city? Prince Loulan is the imperial concubine's brother, why not go there?" "I don't know the way." The imperial concubine was married from the Western Regions and has never left the palace. step. "I know, as long as you follow the road, you will reach the Huaixi Pavilion not long after exiting the west city gate." The imperial concubine felt that her legs were getting weak, "Caihua, you you can't leave me." "Of course, I am from Loulan Kingdom The concubine who followed the concubine into the palace will not leave you even a step." The concubine felt relieved. With Zhang Caihua's help, she stood up reluctantly and looked at the things in the room. "Should we bring something?" "No, King Loulan. There must be everything there." "That's right." The imperial concubine had a simple idea and walked out of the room tremblingly without even changing out of her royal-style clothes. "Where are the other maids? "I sent them away. We want to escape from the palace. The more people there are, the easier it is to do bad things." The imperial concubine was already at a loss. No matter what Zhang Caihua said, she walked out of the palace with her support. She felt that Zhang Caihua was particularly strong today. "Caihua. Slow down, my feet are weak and I can't walk too fast." "Well, there is a well in front of you. You sit on the edge of the well and rest for a while. I'll go explore in front. Road." The imperial concubine insisted on walking to the well. Zhang Caihua laid out a handkerchief. The imperial concubine sat down to take a nap. She heard faint sounds of shouting and fighting in the distance. She couldn't help but feel frightened, and grabbed the palace maid's forearm, "Caihua, don't go, I'm scared." Zhang Caihua turned around and gently held the concubine in her arms. She entered Loulan a year before the concubine married the emperor of the Central Plains. In the king's palace, she quickly became the princess's favorite and most trusted maid. For five years, he has been by the imperial concubine¡¯s side. Help the concubine to overcome difficulties of all sizes. She has the ability to make others like her, and she also has the ability to easily erase feelings. This is what she has been trained to do since she was a child. Zhang Caihua let go of her hand. The imperial concubine seemed to be asleep. She slowly leaned back and suddenly sped up. Fall into a deep well. Letting the imperial concubine die painlessly was the only compromise Zhang Caihua could make. The task was completed. Zhang Caihua stood by the well and looked for a while. It was dark below. It would take a long time for someone to find out that the imperial concubine died here. Zhang Caihua took out a hosta belonging to the imperial concubine from her sleeve and placed it on the edge of the well. Perhaps this would help the imperial concubine's body be discovered earlier. Zhang Caihua suddenly turned her head and saw two people standing under the wall. One person wore the costumes of the low -oriented of the palace, about forty years old, and looked dumb. It seemed that he had never laughed in this life. With his status, he was not qualified to appear where the concubine palace gathered. The other person is dressed in a tight-fitting Jianghu style, which is even more incompatible with the palace. "Who is he?" Zhang Caihua asked coldly, staring at the Jianghu people warily. The handyman was obviously an acquaintance of hers. "This is the Dragon King Gu Shenwei." The servant's voice was not old at all, and he no longer needed to hide it. Zhang Caihua's vigilance did not relax, as if she did not believe what the servant said, "Have you changed your appearance?" Gu Shenwei nodded. He pretended to be a hero and broke into the palace. He had not yet restored his original appearance, "Why did you want to kill her? " Zhang Caihua turned around and glanced at Shenjing, "Didn't the Imperial Master tell you? " "Well, the Loulan Kingdom's noble concubine died in the palace for no apparent reason. This will make the Central Plains and Loulan Kingdom have a bad relationship with each other and undermine the Central Plains' control of the Western Region. "You know very well." "I haven't thanked you for your help over the years." Gu Shenwei said that neither Dongmen Sima Gao Enci nor Qin Yeming, who pretended to be a low-level servant, could get much from the palace. Confidential information can only serve as a transmitter, and the real explorer is Zhang Caihua. Zhang Caihua is a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall. The Lotus Girl had long made a plan to cause chaos in the world, and had prepared her troops in advance for this purpose. The experiences of Xue Niang and Gu Shenwei inspired her, so she sent a disciple to the Loulan Kingdom to find a way to enter the palace to get close to the princess, and then followed The princess married to the Central Plains together. This was part of the plan, but before the wider plan could be implemented, He Nu turned into Huo Yun. The disciples of Xiaoyue Hall will not give up their mission. Zhang Caihua originally had to lie dormant for many years before returning to serve the imperial masters, so after she heard about the turmoil in the Western Region, she was not affected at all and continued to serve the imperial concubine and help her obtain the emperor's title. She was happy, but when the emperor suddenly lost interest in women, there was nothing she could do. The appearance of Qin Yeming changed Zhang Caihua's mission. Huo Yun's memory came and went, and his attitude towards Gu Shenwei was also up and down. After living in seclusion in Kongtong Mountain for a full year, Gu Shenwei pieced together her plan for the Central Plains and knew that there was a Xiao Yuetang lurking in the palace. Disciple, always ready. Qin Yeming first gained Gao Enci's trust and sent a secret signal to the palace through him. It took a full three months for Zhang Caihua to respond. From then on, she began to receive more instructions, collect information in the palace, and quietly forward it to Gao Enci. , and then he handed it over to Qin Yeming who came once a year. A few months ago, Qin Yeming sneaked into the imperial dining room with the help of Zhang Caihua. Only then did Zhang Caihua know that the person she was working for was the Dragon King Gu Shenwei. Hearing that the imperial master lived beside the Dragon King, Zhang Caihua no longer felt cheated and continued to carry out the new task assigned to her by Qin Yeming - to monitor the empress dowager. Gu Shen was careful and forgot to cancel the order issued by the royal master. Zhang Caihua waited for several years in order to kill the imperial concubine when the palace was in chaos. "Thank me? There is nothing to be grateful for after executing the order." Zhang Caihua's vigilance slowly lowered, "What other orders does the Imperial Master have?" "Take me to see the Empress Dowager." Gu Shenwei said, avoiding her question. "That old Taoist is very skilled in martial arts, so I don't dare to get too close." Zhang Caihua explained, reaching out and pointing outside the palace, "He escorted the Queen Mother out of the palace and returned to Kunde Palace. The Queen Mother disappeared without a trace." "East Gate. "Going out?" "Yes." "Come with me, you don't have to go back to the palace again," Gu Shenwei said. Zhang Caihua nodded, taking the Dragon King's words as orders from the Royal Masters. She glanced at the deep well for the last time and stepped towards the Dragon King and Qin Yeming. . There were no heroes intruding into the eastern part of the palace, but it was a bit more chaotic here. The maids and eunuchs were like headless chickens, asking each other about the situation, looking for places to hide everywhere, and few people noticed the strange combination of Zhang Caihua and the three of them. The guards at the east gate were as tight as the west gate. The palace guards were an independent group. They had heard many rumors and believed that the emperor had passed away. They were a little unsure about their duties, so they only guarded a few palace gates and did not control the Vietnamese. The gangsters who broke in through the wall will not be held accountable. When the chaos was over, the guards hoped that their actions would not make too big a mistake. Zhang Caihua's martial arts skills were average. Gu Shenwei supported her and jumped out of the palace wall. The streets were still deserted. Occasionally, soldiers on horseback passed by. Even he himself didn't know where he was going. Today's capital has lost the core of its power. How many of them have lost their power? There was nowhere to report the news. Qin Yeming found Gao Enci, Sima of the East Gate. Gao Enci arrived on horseback, came to Gu Shenwei, got off his horse, glanced at the unfamiliar palace maid, and said, "Zhenzhen Zihe entered the palace last night, so I didn't" "Well, Zhenren came from the east gate last night Did you know that a group of people were sent away? " "I just arrived at the east gate and saw Master Zihe. He had a letter from the Queen Mother and went back by himself after sending people away. " "I want to know where those people went. " Gao Enci glanced at the palace maid again. "It doesn't matter, she is also mine, and she gave you the news." Gao Enci and Zhang Caihua have been working together for a long time, and this is the first time they have met. "I followed them for a while." Gao Enci felt that the people sent by Master Zihe must be unusual, so he followed behind on his own initiative, "There were about 20 people, and they went directly to the Qizhang Bureau." Gu Shenwei was greatly surprised. , Su Ai saw with his own eyes that after the Jinpeng killer took away Lin Xiaoshan's son, he hid in the Qi Zang Bureau. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother also went there. Zihe Zhenren also heard Su Ai's words. He was making a dangerous move in the past. , or is there something to hide? "The Empress Dowager is no longer in the palace. You can lead the guards to appease the people in the palace." Gu Shenwei gave advice and rushed to Nancheng with Qin Yeming and Zhang Caihua. Gao Enci rode back to the east gate. When he saw the bewildered guards under him, he suddenly understoodIt turns out that Mr. Gu wants to make a great contribution to himself. Like the eastern part of the palace, there are no heroes in the southeast city, and the chaos is more serious. Especially the petty officials and stragglers in the streets and alleys, who know nothing about what is happening or their responsibilities, but have to answer the questions of the common people. They couldn't answer countless questions, and they didn't dare to answer them. They could only advise everyone to go back to their homes, not to do business, let alone hang out. The capital is not a jade city. The residents living in this city are not used to chaos. Their slow reaction has greatly prevented the spread of chaos. The door of the Qi Zang Bureau was open, but there were no guards or craftsmen inside. The entire courtyard seemed empty. The three of them quickly searched from front to back and found no place where anyone could hide. Gu Shenwei must see the Empress Dowager. He believes that all the clues about the annihilation of the Gu family are in the hands of this woman. He doesn't care about the chaos in the city, and he doesn't care who can ultimately benefit from the chaos. He must see the Empress Dowager. Suddenly he had an idea and guessed where the Queen Mother had gone.
