As Xiaolin walked, she gradually slowed down due to fatigue, and fell to the end and approached the woods.

Two figures in the woods suddenly jumped up, covered Xiaolinzi's mouth, and dragged him into the woods.

Xiaolinzi struggled desperately, but suddenly saw Tai Sui covering his mouth and Yao Guang squatting beside him, and immediately stopped struggling again.

In the distance, the guards continued to curse the eunuchs, but did not realize that there was one missing.

"Hurry up! What are you pickled people? Hurry up!"

"Don't blame the uncle for being rude?"

Tai Sui gently let go of his hand: "Don't yell, it's me!"

Kobayashi said in surprise: "My benefactor!"

As soon as he shouted, Kobayashi subconsciously covered her mouth and nose, turned her head and looked around, and asked anxiously: "Why are you sent to guard the tomb? What's the situation in the palace?"

Kobayashi also lowered her voice and asked, "My benefactor still doesn't know the situation in the palace?"

Yaoguang shook his head blankly: "Since Ding Laogui and the husband Lei who are neither male nor female have controlled the power, our Beidou Department's right to enter and exit the palace has been taken back. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, the defense allows us to prohibit us from going in and inquire."

Tai Sui interrupted Yao Guang's words in a hurry and asked Kobayashi: "Tell me quickly, what's going on in the palace?"

Kobayashi's expression was ugly and replied, "Empress, the Queen Mother and the Prince are both under house arrest. Eunuch Lei controls the inner court, and his followers are all under control."

Yao Guang was surprised: "What? What about Eunuch Zhou? He is the eunuch with the greatest power in the inner court."

Xiaolinzi's eyes turned red and she choked and said, "Eunuch Zhou... said he was put into prison, but in fact he had been poisoned to death. Eunuch Zhou's people were also caught and killed. Even we little fish and shrimps were driven to guard the tomb."

Yaoguang and Taisui looked at each other with a serious expression, and both felt that the matter was so serious that it was beyond their imagination.

Kobayashi wiped her tears, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly looked up: "By the way, there is something very strange. After Eunuch Lei controls the power, the first thing he does is to run to Eunuch Lei to find a gin wine pillar."

"Gin Pagoda?"

"Yes! Just put it there, against the wall, a gin column that is more than one person tall."

Tai Sui asked vigilantly: "What did Lei Yungong look for that?"

Kobayashi shook his head: "I don't know, he couldn't find Jin Jiuzhu, so he quickly sent someone to stop the killing of Eunuch Zhou. Unfortunately, he went one step late. Because all the eunuchs around Eunuch Zhou were killed, he could not ask about Jin Jiuzhu's whereabouts. Eunuch Lei was so angry that he went crazy."

Tai Sui and Yao Guang looked at each other. Tai Sui thought about it and asked, "Lei Yungong just controlled the harem, and the first thing he did was to find Jinjiuzhu. Even if this thing is pure gold, it shouldn't be?"

Yaoguang nodded affirmatively: "There must be ghosts in it!"

The two looked at Kobayashi together.

"In the end, did he find it?"

Kobayashi shook her head, then smiled proudly again, quickly looked around and lowered her voice: "Eunuch Lei thought that only Eunuch Zhou and the eunuch beside him knew the whereabouts of the Jinjiuzhu, but... I knew it too, but I didn't tell him."

Tai Sui and Yaoguang's eyes lit up, and Tai Sui asked anxiously: "Do you know? Where is the gin wine pillar?"

Kobayashi didn't hide it and said, "The golden wine pillar was given to Eunuch Zhou by the late emperor. After the grand ceremony of the late emperor, Eunuch Zhou was heartbroken and used this golden wine pillar as a burial object to accompany the late emperor. Almost all the people who knew about this matter were dead, and I saw it by accident."

Tai Sui and Yao Guang took a deep look at each other.

"Don't tell others about this, it's better not to mention it." Tai Sui thought about it and told Kobayashi: "There may be some secrets here. If you miss the whim and Lei Yungong knows it, you will definitely kill you to silence you."

Kobayashi was startled and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

"Well, then this is the case first. Let's send you back. You follow the team to the imperial tomb. Don't be afraid. When this matter comes to an end, I will definitely find a way to get you back to the palace." Tai Sui promised Kobayashi.

"Okay, I believe in my benefactor." Kobayashi also became serious. After all, he had been in the palace for ten years and knew the rules of the palace. If the team arrived at the imperial tomb and the number of people he had checked was gone, it would be a big trouble.

Besides, where can I go if I don’t go to the imperial tomb?

...

Kunning Palace.

There were lanterns hanging under the door, and several eunuchs and guards stood outside the door, looking at Zhao Defang with helpless expressions.

A door panel has been set up under the door, and Zhao Defang is laying a mattress up.

Prince Zhao Zhen walked out of the palace with a thick quilt and pillow. When Zhao Defang saw it, he hurried forward to take the quilt.

The prince looked at the simple bed and was a little worried: "Uncle Eighth, it's cold at night, you're sleeping here..."

Zhao Defang put the pillow in place and smiled brightly at him: "It's okay. Your uncle's body is fine, it's okay."

Liu E walked out of the palace and saw this and sighed softly: "Old Ba, why don't you... just sleep in the palace."

The prince also nodded: "Yes, there are so many houses."

Zhao Defang shook his head and looked serious: "Sister-in-law, don't say stupid things! Defang stays here to protect the safety of his sister-in-law and nephew. If he stays in the hall, he will inevitably be verbal and ruined his reputation. Besides, even if he does not ruin his reputation, if they say that I, Zhao Laoba, have entered the palace in the name of this, and it will be rumored that the world will be in chaos if it spreads out."

Liu E wanted to speak but stopped, but just sighed softly.

Zhao Defang spread the quilt, glanced at the guards and eunuchs outside, turned around and said to Liu E and the prince: "Sister-in-law and nephew will go back and rest. Defang, but if you are there, you won't hurt you!"

The prince bit his lip and suddenly said, "My nephew is a junior, how can I let my uncle guard the gate for me! Uncle, please wait..."

He turned around and ran into the palace.

Zhao Defang looked at his back and shouted: "Zhener, what are you doing?"

The prince turned his head while running and replied: "I'll go and move the bedding and sleep at the door with Uncle Eight."

Zhao Defang was stunned for a moment, looking at the prince's back as he ran away, nodding with a smile, with sadness and relief in his smile.

The guards and eunuchs outside the door watched all this and were speechless. Only a small eunuch standing outside quietly retreated and hid in the night to report the news.

The night is dark, and a light in Kunning Hall is like beans.

Liu E was sleeping sideways, with tears hidden at the corners of her eyes, and she looked mournful, and obviously she was not happy in her dreams.

Suddenly, a thunder sound came from outside, and the lights on the table were in a daze. Liu E suddenly woke up and sat up suddenly, sweating all over, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of fear.

She gasped for a while, listening to the thunderstorm outside, it took a while to recover.

"Is it a nightmare?" she murmured, with a bitter smile on her face, and she fell backwards and fell on the bed.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly flew across her eyes. Liu E was shocked and looked tensely. She saw a figure wearing a strange mask standing at the head of the bed and looking at her, revealing a pair of cold and sharp eyes.

Needless to say, the person who came was the mysterious Doumu Tianzun.
