Three days later, Kaishan Temple had already banned people from entering the temple one day in advance, and the people in the palace were also ready to worship.
Early in the morning, Ji Wuhen took a bath and burned incense, and told Ji Wenzhan to leave the palace with a dozen guards. Before leaving, he told Ji Wenzhan some things and told him not to be careless.
It was a matter of life and death for the Zhennan Palace. How could he be careless and immediately set up an ambush, just waiting for the man to fall into the trap.
His father told him that a person would come out to attack the palace when he went to Kaishan Temple to worship. They only needed father and son to work together to capture this person. This person's identity is very important, she is the most important person to Mo Zeshen.
Ji Wenzhan thought of Lu Qingtang at the beginning, but then he thought about how Mo Zeshen would use her to attack the palace because she was a female. Later, he thought of Dong Chengbin, that thin man who always kept silent.
He was ordered to come to Nanzhou with Mo Zeshen to frame them. He must be Mo Zeshen's most important subordinate. If he were captured and negotiated with Mo Zeshen, there might be room for change.
After preparing everything, Ji Wenzhan began to wait for the man to be arrested.
…
At Kaishan Temple, Lu Qingtang had already changed into men's clothes. Ling Guang, Yu Bai and a dozen other guards followed her to escort her to Zhennan Palace.
Before leaving, Mo Zeshen repeatedly told him to be careful and not to be careless.
He pulled Lu Qingtang's hand, always feeling fuzzy in his heart, "If something is wrong, you must turn around and leave. Leave others alone, and you must save your own life."
"Although Ji Wenzhan is your brother, he is also the prince of Zhennan. His heart is always with Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Although I have repeated these words again and again, don't be annoyed. I don't want to worry about you anymore. …”
As he spoke, he held Lu Qingtang in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Actually, I don't want you to take risks."
Lu Qingtang pushed him away, curled his lips and said, "Then can you guarantee Ji Wenzhan's safety?"
Mo Ze shook his head without thinking.
Lu Qingtang rolled his eyes at him, "Then it's over!"
She stretched out her hand to straighten his collar, "Be sure to watch out for Dong Chengbin. If you kill him at a critical moment, blame it on Ji Wuhen."
After saying that, she got on the horse, but Mo Zeshen still told her to be careful.
Lu Qingtang waved to him to go back, picked up the reins and led the guards behind him out of Kaishan Temple.
As soon as she left the temple, she saw Ji Wuhen's carriage not far away. The word "Zhennan" on the carriage was very eye-catching, and there were only dozens of guards behind it.
Something's wrong!
She immediately turned the horse's head and asked everyone to hide in the grass nearby.
When the carriage passed by, the curtain was inadvertently lifted by the wind, and Ji Wuhen was seen sitting alone in the carriage wearing a black crane cloak.
Ji Wenzhan was not brought with him to pay homage to such a big event, so he should have known that Mo Zeshen would set up an ambush, and he should not have brought only such a small number of people.
unless……
He set an ambush in the palace!
But how did they know that they would go to Zhennan Palace? Could it be that there is a traitor among them?
Lu Qingtang thought for a while, then looked back at Ling Guang behind him, only to see his clear and stupid big eyes looking at him, with confusion and innocence in his eyes.
not him.
Then it’s falling snow.
It was not that she suspected Luoxue herself, but that when she came to Kaishan Temple two days ago, someone was bound to spy on her secretly. There are many secret guards in the palace, and it is easy to eavesdrop on the conversation between a mother and her daughter.
At this time, Ling Guang spoke, "Is something wrong, Princess Chen?"
Lu Qingtang frowned slightly, then shook his head, "Let's leave quickly."
After getting on the horse, they soon arrived at Weinan County. However, Lu Qingtang did not go directly to the Zhennan Palace. Instead, he took the guards to the tea stall to drink tea. While they were drinking tea, Lu Qingtang walked to the entrance of an alley, took out two lancets used for surgery in the space, took off the blades, wrapped them in a piece of cloth, and stuffed them into his sleeves.
Returning to the tea stall, he called the guards to mount their horses and went straight to the Zhennan Palace.
Today's Zhennan Palace is quieter than in the past. The door of the palace is open, as if to welcome someone.
Sure enough, they set up an ambush.
Lu Qingtang looked back at the guards behind him and asked Yu Bai to accompany him in while the others waited outside.
Yu Bai felt something was wrong and said, "Princess Chen, there is an ambush in the palace. I'm afraid it's too dangerous for just the two of us? How about we go back to the prince to discuss it again."
Lu Qingtang shook his head, "I've come here, how can I have the gift of turning back?"
With that said, she took out the blade hidden in her sleeve and handed one to Yu Bai, "Remember, if they take you, don't resist. It's important to save your life."
After saying that, she put the blade under her tongue, and Yu Bai followed her example and hid the blade in his mouth.
Lu Qingtang stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked into the gate of Zhennan Prince's Mansion with Yu Bai.
As soon as he entered, the door was closed with a bang, and then several guards rushed out. According to what Lu Qingtang said, Yu Bai fought with them for a while, then pretended to be exhausted and fell to the ground. He and Lu Qingtang were tied up and locked in separate rooms.
The guard responsible for leading the capture of her was named Chi Xin. After capturing Lu Qingtang, he released a flare into the sky.
He knew Lu Qingtang, and Lu Qingtang also knew him.
He stood in front of Lu Qingtang, looking at her suspiciously, as if he was doubting his ability.
Caught the thief who attacked the palace so easily?
Moreover, there are only two so-called thieves. According to the prince's opinion, even if there is not a thousand troops, it should still be an army. How can it be two people?
Was it a mistake?
He didn't think much and turned around to tell Ji Wenzhan about this.
As soon as Ji Wenzhan heard that the other party was Lu Qingtang, he immediately panicked and quickly asked Chi Xin to lead him to see her.
As he walked, he asked, "Did you hurt the princess? Did you make the princess suffer?"
"Are you saying that you can't even tell the difference between men and women? It's okay if you can't tell the difference. You still dare to tie people up. What if a delicate woman is tied up and broken?"
Chi Xin was so scolded that he didn't dare to refute.
Ji Wenzhan was right. In fact, he saw at a glance that Lu Qingtang was a woman disguised as a man, so he should have reported it immediately. But that was not what the prince ordered. He only said that no matter who entered the house, he would be taken down and tied up immediately.
You know, she is the prince's sister. If something happens to her, she may lose her head.
Arriving at the room where Lu Qingtang was imprisoned, Ji Wen and Chixin were guarding outside while he went in alone.
Chi Xin hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed Ji Wenzhan's order.
Opening the door, Ji Wenzhan walked in. Lu Qingtang was leaning against the corner with his hands tied behind his back. Her face was covered with mud, her hair was messy, and the hairpin on her head was missing. She was in a miserable state.
Ji Wenzhan felt distressed all of a sudden. He walked forward quickly and wanted to reach out to untie the rope from her body, but Lu Qingtang immediately avoided him.
