Chapter 354 The Eve of the Wedding
The sun gradually sets, and an orange-yellow ball hangs on the horizon, as if the sun has broken a hole, and the broken gold inside is flowing.
The afterglow was very warm. First, curls of smoke rose from the villages outside the capital. Slowly, a spark called life was thrown into the city, igniting the smoke. The hawkers doing business also packed up their things and returned home one after another.
A few school-going children with braids were walking among the people. There was a yellow dog behind them. It was unknown whose 'guard' they were.
Amid the shouts and the barking of dogs, the team patrolling the city finally returned to the palace.
This is the time when the guards are most relaxed, because in everyone's minds, if someone doesn't go home to eat at this time, they will have no time to do things like murder and arson.
Therefore, the seemingly heavily guarded palace is actually a wooden house that is about to decay. As long as one pillar is broken, the entire house will collapse.
So at this time, Pei Mo's people sneaked into the guards.
Because the fewer people who knew about this operation, the better, so Pei Mo did not tell the commander of the Royal Forest Army, although if the commander of the Imperial Forest Army was willing to help him, this operation would be even more powerful.
But Pei Mo knew in his heart that the Daoists were not conspiring against each other. He and the commander of the Royal Forest Army just admired each other, and they were not ready to entrust their backs to him. Moreover, if this matter was exposed, then the people involved would definitely
a lot of.
Pei Mo didn't want to drag innocent people into trouble again.
"Because the emperor will attend Fang Anren's wedding tomorrow, there will be continuous patrols in the city tonight by the imperial guards. At this time, the palace's defenses are relatively loose. Concubine Rong must be brought out before midnight."
This was what Pei Mo told Wu Yi, and Wu Yi kept it in mind. At this time, Wu Yi changed his appearance and mingled with the team guarding the palace gate.
Every time a team left the palace gate, a count was recorded on May Day. By the time of Haishi, five teams had left, including the one led by the commander of the Royal Forest Army.
At this time, it was time to enter the palace gate. The heavy vermilion door required four people to push it. Once the palace door was locked, no one could enter or exit. However, Wu Yi was not worried. They had already planned another way to escape.
"You guys, go patrol the west side of the palace. You guys, go patrol the harem. Keep your eyes open. The tasks tonight are heavier. After tonight, you can rest as you please."
The head guard frowned and ordered the group of lax guards in front of him. There was no other reason. The main reason was that the second prince came and told him to patrol well. If he didn't do his job well, he would be killed.
That posture seemed like something was going to happen in the palace.
The governor secretly spat at the second prince, but he still had to patrol according to the second prince's instructions. After all, the second prince insisted on his death, and he had no way to resist.
Wuyi and his men were lucky enough to be assigned the task of patrolling the harem, so it seemed more reasonable to approach the Palace of Rejuvenation.
At this time, in the Palace of Rejuvenation, Jin Yu was made up to look like a noble concubine, and the concubine was hiding in the corner. There was also a thin woman in black on the beam. This was the secret village cultivated by Mingyue Tower. This woman, a woman from the world, would
Although his light skills are not as good as Pei Mo's, they are more than enough compared to those of the guards in the palace.
Her task today is to cooperate with May Day to take the imperial concubine out of the palace.
There were many candles burning in the palace, and the room was so bright that people's shadows could be clearly printed on the windows, so the guards of the second prince who were guarding outside the house only needed to look up at the shadows to know whether the imperial concubine was inside.
As the May Day team passed by the Palace of Rejuvenation, a few bird calls suddenly came from the treetops in the distance. People in the room understood that this was a signal for action, so Jin Yu, who pretended to be a noble concubine, immediately knocked over the lit candlestick and deliberately
Pretend to be careless.
The candlestick overturned in front of the bead curtain, and the flame ignited the curtain. The imperial concubine shouted, "It's on fire, it's on fire!"
Seeing that the fire was not big enough, the woman in black threw a few more books into it. The fire roared loudly, and the flames even touched the pillars.
Bright firelight can be seen through the window.
"It's flooded, no good, go put out the fire quickly!"
The guards outside the palace exclaimed that their mission was to prevent the imperial concubine from leaving the Palace of Rejuvenation, and at the same time to ensure the safety of the imperial concubine. Therefore, this fire must be put out.
Wu Yi led the team to a stop, "Oh no, the Palace of Rejuvenation is on fire. Go get water quickly!"
With this cry for fear that the world would be in chaos, the small place suddenly became a mess. Wu Yi stepped forward anxiously, "It's so good, why did you catch fire and didn't open the door? If something happens to the noble concubine, how can you bear it?"
Do you take this responsibility?"
Because the people guarding the Palace of Rejuvenation were sent by the second prince and did not belong to the palace. The people in the palace were all arrogant. Although they were all slaves, the people in the palace just looked down on the guards in other palaces.
Not only do they look down upon them, but they also give them little shoes to wear behind their backs.
This made the guards of the second prince very worried. If they knew that this job was so thankless, they would not take it even if they were beaten to death!
So the second prince's bodyguard nodded and bowed with a smile on his face, "Open it right away, open it right away, Sir, please calm down."
The guard opened the three locks tremblingly, and then the door of the Palace of Rejuvenation was pushed open. Someone came with water. When May Day went in, a bucket of water was poured on the burning curtain.
"Quick, a few more buckets!"
Two or three buckets of water splashed on the curtain, the sparks were completely extinguished, and there were water marks everywhere in the palace.
Wuyi lowered his voice and scolded, "Why are you guarding the door? If I hadn't discovered it in time, the whole palace would have burned down."
The guard glanced at the 'concubine' who was huddled on the bed, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter that there was a fire. What was important was that something was wrong with the concubine. Fortunately, the fire was extinguished and everyone was fine.
"My lord, please calm down. I have disturbed my lord." The guard endured his heartache and took out the broken silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Wuyi's hand.
He has magical powers, otherwise the little ones wouldn’t have the chance to see the power of the official!”
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. The guard thought he was well versed in the world, but he didn't know he was being smart.
After receiving the money on May Day, I laughed in my heart, and the expression on my face and eyes softened a lot, "Okay, I count you lucky, fortunately it's not a big deal, just forget it, there are a lot of things in the palace, so I won't
Report the fire in the Huichun Palace, and then go and do your best."
"Okay, okay, thank you sir, thank you sir."
Wu Yi threw away the broken silver in his hand and led the people away, his face was full of pride, and the guards behind him had to treat him with kindness. It was really exciting!
The guard locked the door of the Palace of Rejuvenation and wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he didn't know that the concubine in the room had long been replaced by someone else.
In this way, Wu Yi left the palace with the imperial concubine and walked all the way towards the Fang family where Yan Ru was.
