Chapter 208: Advance and Retreat

"Shaoyin, you must leave the palace safely!"

Faced with the increasingly complex situation, Yan Keran could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Du Shaoyin's legs would be faster than the imperial guards.

Since Du Shaoyin parted with Yan Ke Ran, he has been very careful along the way and always pays attention to the expressions of others. This road to leaving the palace is completely unfamiliar. He can only rely on Yan Ke Ran's few words and cannot ask others at all.

During this period, I also took a few wrong steps. Fortunately, there was no error in the general direction. When Du Shaoyin finally saw the Tongtian Gate Tower, he breathed a sigh of relief. He just had to pass through the Tongtian Gate without being discovered by the imperial guards. Du Shaoyin straightened his back and walked towards the Tongtian Gate. When he passed through the city gate, he was indeed questioned.

Du Shaoyin cleared his throat and forced himself to learn from the Imperial Guards to speak, "I am ordered by the lieutenant to leave the palace to do business! Why, do you still have to stop it?"

The guard looked at Du Shaoyin's slightly awkward outfit and wanted to continue interrogating. Du Shaoyin shouted directly: "It's not too late. If it delays my business, then Captain Yan blames him, you will take responsibility!"

Seeing that the guards were frightened, Du Shaoyin walked directly outside the city without waiting for the other party to agree. He was about to succeed, but he met a person riding a horse at the gate of the city. When Du Shaoyin walked past him, the person's eyes kept staring at Du Shaoyin.

"Stop!"

Du Shaoyin pretended that he didn't hear it and continued to walk forward. He wanted to run, but he also knew where his legs were the opponent of the four legs of the horse.

The man on the horse stomped his feet and stomped his hands in the air, reached out to touch Du Shaoyin's back neck and grabbed it. Du Shaoyin was also a martial arts practitioner. The strong wind behind him had already indicated the coming of danger. Without waiting for him to turn around, he bowed down to avoid the attack, and ran away with the trend.

As soon as he ran two steps, his legs were hit by a heavy object. His center of gravity was unstable and he fell directly to eat shit. Du Shaoyin wanted to resist, but the man behind him had already ridden on his back and cut his hands behind him.

"You dare to use the tricks of the eagle in front of me, Dan Tai Qiuan!"

"How? Fourth Brother, where is the edict?"

King Xiang repeatedly asked questions, and King Yu simply spread his hands and said, "The edict is gone. Now that you think I am suspicious, I will naturally stay in the capital to cooperate with the investigation."

"The fourth brother is so bad! The fourth brother is also the son of his father. The fourth brother is absolutely unable to do such a thing as killing a monarch and killing his father. However, why did the fourth brother happen to appear in the Lizheng Hall and why did the father die in the arms of his fourth brother? These fourth brothers must give me a reasonable explanation to all ministers!"

All the officials nodded in agreement, and Liao Zhen gave a comment and said, "Since the emperor has passed away, the most important thing for the current plan is to start dealing with the emperor's affairs. As for pursuing the real murderer, it will take time to distinguish the severity!"

Everyone could hear Liao Zhen’s obvious responsibilities, and King Xiang was not angry. He ordered: “The fourth brother stayed in the palace first. As for him, he would be sent to Dali Temple with the chef and be tried together with Zhou Xunliang!”

"Fifth Brother!"

Yun Xuan also wanted to plead for Xuan Shaoning, but King Xiang's attitude had already told her clearly: Don't even think about it!

King Yu patted Yunxuan on the shoulder and shook her head, and then followed Chen Yuanzhen to leave. Yunxuan watched Xuan Shaoning be dragged away, and then watched his father's body be carried away, but she was powerless.

"Today, Japan is the day when my father summons you to the palace. It is the day when I return the power of government affairs to handle government affairs, but unexpectedly..." King Xiang choked and said unhappy. "The death of my father is even more regretful for Daliang! My father asked me to handle the government affairs during his lifetime. In the future, I must maintain the stability of the government affairs and have no choice but to do so!"

Cai Xiang stood up and expressed his position at the right time. "I will obey Your Highness's order and will do my best to assist Your Highness!"

Since the Prime Minister had made his statement, the remaining officials could only kneel down to King Xiang. Three of them were forced to kneel and were reluctant, but they understood that this was not the time to care about these things.

Needless to say, Liao Zhen always supported King Yu. The remaining two were Jiang Weizhen and Xiao Moyan. They were both familiar with Xuan Shaoning. Seeing him dead, they were unable to help because of their humble official positions. Especially Xiao Moyan, he saw Xuan Shaoning's grievances, and he believed in Xuan Shaoning's character, and even more believed in King Yu's character. He also saw Yan Keran's dilemma, both of whom had to perform his duties and help classmates.

"My ministers, let's go back home first!"

"Your Highness, I will ask for a visit if you have something to do!"

What Xiao Moyan didn't expect was that he actually saw another classmate. He saw Du Shaoyin being tied up and was escorted up, and at that moment he could not control himself.

Yan Keran was also shocked. What he had hoped for did not happen in the end. When Du Shaoyin was escorted by Dan Tai Qiuan, the blood in his body solidified.

"Dan Tai Qiuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Report to Your Highness, Mo Jiang caught this person outside the palace gate. This person was sneaky and his official uniform was not very suitable for his words. He did not speak in line with the manner of the Imperial Guard. Mo Jiang suspected this person's identity, so he took this person and handed it over to Your Highness to surrender."

"What is your identity? Is it related to the poisoning of the father?"

No matter who said anything, Du Shaoyin only bowed his head and refused to respond. King Xiang looked at the imperial guards' uniform on him and turned to Yan Keran and asked, "Is this person your subordinate?"

Yan Keran's back was wet with sweat, and he didn't know how to answer. If he answered "No", he would push Du Shaoyin into the fire pit; if he answered "yes", then he would be unable to escape the responsibility of indulging his subordinates.

Xiao Moyan stared at Yan Keran. Their classmates had been here for ten years. He believed in Yan Keran too much. He knew that Yan Keran was a person who dared to act, even if the consequences were serious.

Yan Keran had no idea of ​​Xiao Moyan's existence at all. He looked at Du Shaoyin and Yun Xuan. Just as he was about to answer, Du Shaoyin shouted out.

"I am not from the Imperial Guard! I stole this official uniform from the Imperial Guard's Office!"

"Sure enough, the situation is suspicious! He was taken to Dali Temple for interrogation!"

Seeing Du Shaoyin being dragged away, Yan Keran was like a ray of light on his back, and there were millions of silver needles pricking his heart madly. He didn't even dare to look up at King Xiang. He was afraid that King Xiang would see the truth of the facts in his eyes.

"Captain Yan!"

"The last one will be here!"

"You are responsible for the official uniforms in the official office being stolen so easily!"

"It's because the last general is inappropriate in management, and the last general is willing to be punished!"

"Okay, I'm here to warn you that you should know what you can do and what you can't do! Today's thing is over. If you commit it again in the future, you will definitely be severely punished!"

King Xiang shook his sleeves and left. Yan Keran knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up until the sounds around him disappeared.

Sweat had already gathered into a pool of water on the ground. Yan Keran mechanically raised his head and found that everyone had left. He didn't know how long he had been kneeling, but he felt that his legs were no longer his.

Yan Keran held the ground and barely stood up, but because of her legs sore and numb, she was about to fall down. Someone happened to support him. Princess Yunxuan's face reflected in Yan Keran's pupils.

"I will meet the princess at the end!"

"Okay, don't kneel down again!"

Princess Yunxuan helped Yan Keran up and looked at him feeling exhausted, feeling quite distressed. So she pulled out the handkerchief she carried with her to wipe the sweat off Yan Keran's face. Yan Keran knew that this behavior was a great disrespect of the minister, but he did not move and let Princess Yunxuan's hand slash on her face.

This feeling was something Yan Keran thought about for too long, and it was always out of reach. It was also the best comfort after the repeated blows today, making Yan Keran forget all the bitterness, torture and fear.

The faint fragrance on the veil was enough to make him completely intoxicated. Even if he had to pay the price of his life at this moment, he would have no choice but to speak, as long as it was Princess Yunxuan.

"A lot of things happened this day too suddenly, and you must be exhausted." Yan Keran wanted to say something like "the last general's duty" and Princess Yunxuan put her finger on his mouth. "Even if others can't see your hard work, I can still deeply understand it. Captain Yan, I have something to ask for."

Yan Keran looked at Yun Xuan's bright eyes. Not to mention that it was one thing, he was willing to do even more things.

"Help me rescue Captain Xuan!"

Among all the things that Yan Keran is willing to do, this one is not included. He felt lost. Sure enough, what he cared most about in Yun Xuan's heart was Xuan Shaoning. But since Yun Xuan spoke, he had to do whatever he wanted. He once promised to satisfy all Yun Xuan's wishes, and he could not break his promise!

Yan Keran nodded, and Princess Yunxuan finally smiled. She stuffed the handkerchief into Yan Keran's hand with gratitude.

"Person Yan, you have been in close contact for ten years. I know that even if I don't speak, you will definitely save it with all your might. I thank you again!"

Seeing Princess Yunxuan going to bow, Yan Keran was scared and sweating. On the one hand, she couldn't bear to do so; on the other hand, there were many eyes and ears in the palace. If this scene was seen and spread to King Xiang's ears, she would be in trouble.
