very!
Something is wrong!
No matter how useless these Forbidden Army soldiers are, they will not be easily wiped off their necks without resisting.
Unless it was poisoned beforehand.
"Where is the body?" Li Yi suddenly raised his head and asked.
Lu Hancheng quickly asked someone to bring the corpse of the Imperial Army soldier over.
At first glance, Li Yi didn't feel anything was wrong, but when he touched their necks, he realized something was wrong.
The wound on his neck has not dried yet, but his body is already hard.
This can only mean that this group of soldiers guarding the east gate of the palace has died long ago.
Having his neck wiped was just a deliberate illusion.
Someone is deliberately hiding the fact that the Imperial Guards soldier was poisoned.
This shows that there is careful support from the enemy in the palace, and the status is very high, otherwise these Forbidden Army soldiers would not believe it easily.
And Li Yi immediately thought of King Fu's biological mother, Zheng Mengjing.
But how could she be so powerful that she could send hundreds of rebels into the palace without anyone noticing, and also poison hundreds of forbidden soldiers?
At this moment, Qinglong ran over quickly, "Your Majesty, I just asked you to clarify that they entered the palace through a secret passage, which led directly to a courtyard in the harem."
"What?"
Li Yi was furious and kicked a stone to pieces. He was furious and had murderous intent in his eyes.
He was really angry.
Who wouldn't be angry if there was a secret passage in their back garden?
The key is that his master doesn’t know yet!
The Imperial Guards on the left and right all looked horrified, with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads, and they were terrified.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats, this was the harem!
"That palace?" Li Yi asked.
Qinglong shook his head and said: "These people don't know either. The sky is too dark and it is really difficult to tell clearly. However, there is a rockery at the entrance of the palace, and the secret passage is inside the rockery."
"rockery?"
Li Yi narrowed his eyes and had complicated thoughts. There were many rockeries in the palace and there were gardens everywhere. Whose palace doesn't have rockeries?
Could it be...
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, the closest one here seems to be the Empress Dowager Zheng's palace, and her palace does have a rockery."
"This palace is the harem where she served the late emperor."
When they heard this, everyone was shocked. Could it be her!
Zheng Mengjing!
Li Yi clenched his teeth and smiled angrily, "Okay, I understand, I understand everything!"
"This bitch, how dare she!"
"I can now suspect that the letter about the previous martial arts fraud case was also written by her. No wonder it was written by a woman. It must be Young Master Yan who was instigated by her."
"Originally, I never took her seriously. After all, her every move is under my control, and she is not allowed to go out. It is impossible for her to get in touch with the outside world. Now it seems that I have underestimated her."
"If these thieves hadn't been unable to bear it, I would never have known!"
"You bastard, you bitch, this is my palace, and you dare to dig a tunnel. I won't be able to vent my anger unless I kill her!" He roared angrily, turned around and headed straight for Queen Mother Zheng's palace.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Li Yi made a silent movement and saw that he had already jumped onto the roof with his feet slightly raised.
Qinglong followed closely and quietly opened the palace door. Other masters of internal machine surveillance filed in, and the imperial army quickly surrounded the entire palace.
Li Yi did not break into the palace, but went to the rockery first, trying to find some clues.
Snapped!
By accident, Li Yi stepped on a branch.
The sound was originally too subtle to be heard, but a vigilant voice came from the rockery in front.
"who?"
"Who's there?"
"I see you, come out!"
The other party is very cunning and cautious, but the caution is a bit too much.
If there was no sound, Li Yi and the others might not be able to discover it.
But the other party made a big mistake.
The voice was low, with a hint of sharpness, like the voice of a eunuch.
Li Yi frowned. The voice sounded familiar. Wasn't it Liu Jin?
Liu Jin in Mr. Yan's house.
He used to be a eunuch, the late emperor's writing eunuch, and the dog beside King Fu and Queen Mother Zheng.
It's him!
Li Yi's confusion at first turned into excitement. It was really him!
King Fu buried the biggest nail in the capital. As long as he caught him, it would be equivalent to breaking King Fu's arm.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
"I can't believe it, I really can't believe it!"
An unruly voice slowly sounded.
Liu Jin was also surprised. How familiar was this voice?
Who is it?
Li Yi's figure slowly emerged from the darkness, holding hands as he walked out, "Eunuch Liu, I really didn't expect it to be you?"
"What else do you have to say this time?"
Hearing this, Liu Jin, half of his body hidden in the darkness, suddenly changed. His whole body was shaking and terrified.
It's actually Li Yi?
How did he find it here?
etc!
He's not dead?
Could it be that he missed it?
not good!
In this short moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously wanted to escape, but as soon as his footsteps moved, he noticed figures moving around him.
"Don't bother, you can't run away." Li Yi said coldly.
Internal machine surveillance masters holding long knives sprang out from the surrounding darkness, surrounding him.
Liu Jin's heart was trembling with fear. She stood in front of the rockery, her face changing constantly, and she was at a loss.
Li Yi unfolded the folding fan, a chill flashed on Ruyu's face, "Do you still remember this folding fan?"
Liu Jin nodded, "Remember, Mr. Yan is the most precious treasure. It seems that you really killed Mr. Yan."
Li Yi nodded, noncommittal, "Tell me, why did you appear in my palace? And did you bring those bandits? Was it Empress Dowager Zheng's idea to enter the palace to assassinate, as well as Prince Fu, Mr. Yan Ge, and What will Zhu Chongyuan and the others do next?"
He approached step by step, and the fiery pupils in his eyes gradually gathered into a cluster of intense light, which was terrifying.
Liu Jin's eyes dodge and he lowers his head quickly. A look of pig liver color appears on his old face. He is shocked and frightened. Who would have thought that a long-planned assassination could be easily foiled?
The key is that the last trump card was leaked. I hope Li Yi doesn't know the truth, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted and the whole body will be affected by one move.
But who was he? He was an old man in the palace and he immediately realized what he was.
Knowing that he had no way out, he simply confessed. With a flash of his eyes, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Li Yi was stunned now, and so were everyone else.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I should not have stayed in the palace for no reason and peed at the door of Empress Dowager Zheng. I was really wrong."
"However, I don't understand what your Majesty just said. I just woke up from peeing and couldn't find a place, so I just settled here at the rockery."
"This has nothing to do with Lord Fu Wang, and it has nothing to do with Empress Dowager Zheng. It was a servant who came into the palace to deliver food to Empress Dowager Zheng. It was late and the palace was closed. I had no choice but to stay in the palace and ask for your Majesty's punishment."
"As for King Fu, he is still on the road and has no idea what happened in the capital."
"The Zhu Chongyuan mentioned by your Majesty should be the great traitor. I have absolutely nothing to do with that great traitor. Please tell me clearly."
Hearing this, Li Yi smiled, "He is such a sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued man. He is worthy of being the late emperor's pen-writing eunuch. Is that interesting?"
He slowly walked up to Liu Jin, looked down at him condescendingly, and said with a cold tone, "There is a drowning bucket in the house. Do you need to run out? You won't tell me that your eunuch is gone and peeing will be different." Bar?"
This humiliation of Chi Guoguo made Liu Jin's face turn blue and white.
"Do you think I'm that easy to deceive?"
"Eunuch Liu, tell me, who brought the thieves who entered the palace tonight?"
A trace of panic flashed in Liu Jin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She quickly lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, I have never..."
Li Yi didn't waste any time and kicked Liu Jin over, "Return to his pretense!"
"boom!"
Liu Jin clutched her chest in pain, as if she had lost her breath, half-knelt on the ground, and moaned in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really don't know, and I don't know what your Majesty said?"
"Don't think that I am very patient. I will give you one last chance. Who brought in the thieves who entered the palace to assassinate me? How did they get in?" Li Yi finally asked.
But Liu Jin made it clear that a dead pig was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, and he refused to acknowledge whether he was dead or alive. He insisted that he was here to deliver food to Empress Dowager Zheng, so he stayed in the palace after a delay.
"Your Majesty, you want to kill this old minister. I have no complaints at all. But I have never done what your Majesty said, so I dare not admit it!"
Hearing this, everyone present understood that this old guy refused to admit it.
If you want to kill someone, it's just a matter of one knife, but this old guy knows a lot of things, so killing him would be a waste.
As the direct link between King Fu, Mr. Yan Ge, and even Zhu Chongyuan, if he knew something in advance, Li Yi could seize the opportunity and turn defeat into victory.
"Okay, then I'll let you explain it clearly!" Li Yi's eyes turned cold and he snorted angrily, "Qinglong, bring this person up!"
