The emperor ascended the throne, and on the same day he was crowned queen and crown prince, and the entire Nansang Dynasty rejoiced.
During the banquet, the envoys frequently toasted and congratulated each other, and there was an endless flow of words at the scene.
Yan Changkong was like stars over the moon, surrounded by many royal family members and ministers, unable to escape.
There were so many people drinking and drinking, it was overwhelming.
Tian Bao and Bai Yu saw the opportunity and secretly left the scene, cleverly avoiding the secretly watching eyes, and when they reappeared in front of others, they had become beautiful palace maids and eunuchs.
The banquet was in full swing, and the imperial garden was full of hurried maids and eunuchs, responsible for delivering food and wine to the banquet. The presence of two people among them did not arouse any suspicion.
"Nan Sang should have sent someone to keep an eye on us. If we don't go back for at most one stick of incense, Nan Sang will notice and become suspicious," Tianbao spoke quickly while lowering his head and walking hurriedly.
Bai Yu nodded, "We must also make a quick decision and rush back as soon as possible to respond."
From the imperial garden to the rear palace complex, the journey is smooth.
But if they continue to go north along the road, the secret defense will become more and more tight. Now it is daylight and it is not easy to hide. The two of them can't go in halfway.
The patrolling guards spotted the two figures, "Who are they, stop!"
Tianbao and Bai Yu looked at each other and rushed forward without saying a word.
At this moment, a deep voice sounded from behind the two of them, "Stay back."
The imperial guards who were about to pursue them immediately stood by, the hidden guards who flew out of the darkness also returned the same way, and the archers who drew their bows and arrows on the roofs of each palace went into hiding again.
The two of them turned back, and at the other end of the road, a figure in a red formal suit was walking steadily, with a noble aura. When the hem of the robe moved slightly, the four-clawed dragon pattern embroidered with gold thread shimmered.
Yan Changkong looked indifferent, as if he had expected that the two people opposite him would come to break into the forbidden area.
Tianbao and Bai Yu had equally indifferent expressions, as if they had expected that he would come after them.
"Miss Su, Mr. Bai, if you want to visit my Nansang Palace, you can do so in an open and honest manner, why bother to disguise yourself." When they were three steps away, Yan Changkong stopped, with a faint smile on his lips.
Bai Yu blocked Tianbao behind him and blocked the other party's gaze. He raised the corner of his mouth, as if chatting naturally, "Cross-dressing is a personal hobby, and there is no need to talk to outsiders about this kind of thing. As for visiting the palace, where is the clear sky and white sun now? Not fair and honest? Prince Nansang left the banquet with many distinguished guests and came after him in such a hurry. Does he want to go shopping with us? "
"That's true."
"We were just about to go there and have a look. In that case, could we trouble Prince Nansang to show us the way?"
Bai Yu pointed to the deserted palace in the north.
Yan Changkong did not hesitate and walked directly in that direction, "Since you two are curious about that palace that has been abandoned for many years, it doesn't matter if I take you to see it."
Seeing that he was leading the way seriously and without any bodyguards around him, Bai Yu moved his eyes slightly, exchanged glances with Tianbao, and both followed.
"The prince knows our identities and still dares to come here alone. Bai admires his courage." Bai Yu praised him casually and poked Tianbao's finger in secret: "Bao, be careful of fraud."
Tianbao: Within a hundred steps, I can take his head in one breath.
Bai Yu: If he dares to come alone, he is sure to save his life. He should have obtained the bargaining chip to negotiate terms with us.
Tianbao: He is also our bargaining chip.
A thumb was raised in front of Tianbao, but she pressed it down.
Ahead, Yan Changkong just opened his mouth, "Su Jiuni, the leader of the eight madmen on the Nine Nations' Wanted Order, and Bai Yu, the wise man... you two are so famous that I have always wanted to see them with my own eyes. As for your courage, you are... Otherwise. I am just betting that Miss Su could save Emperor Long Yuan's life in Long Yuan back then, but she will not kill me at will today. If the girl is really murderous, it will be useless no matter how many helpers I bring. "
He stopped and turned around, smiling at the girl, "Miss Su, am I right?"
The three of them had passed through the palace complex where the harem and concubines lived, and the scene on both sides gradually became deserted.
The white marble floor was covered with dust that had not been cleaned for a long time. The flower beds on both sides of the road were overgrown and messy. There was a thick layer of dead yellow leaves under the flower beds. The autumn was desolate and desolate everywhere.
The hustle and bustle in the imperial garden became distant, making the space in front of the deserted palace quiet and eerie.
Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the smile on Yan Changkong's face. Then his pupils shrank suddenly and he quickly grabbed Tianbao's arm to retreat, "Tianbao, be careful!"
Unfortunately it's still a little late.
The white marble floor tile where he and Tianbao were standing suddenly sank, and they fell weightless. It happened so fast that people were caught off guard.
When Bai Yu calmed down, his body was held up by a force and thrown upward.
He looked back and saw the girl's always calm and calm face below the ground. He watched with his own eyes as a vine whip flew out of her hand and brought down Prince Nansang, whose smile had not disappeared.
Immediately, the white marble floor tiles returned to their positions and fit perfectly with the ground, making it impossible to see what was underneath.
The whole thing happened as fast as lightning, and the final scene was the stunned face of Prince Nansang.
Bai Yu stood in front of the floor tile, his teeth clenched and his eyes cold.
Sure enough, there is a fraud.
He did not stay where he was, but turned back and rushed to the Royal Garden Banquet Hall.
He believed in Tianbao's ability, and as long as Yan Changkong was in her hands, she would be safe and sound.
Rather than staying here and wasting time looking for agencies, he has more important things to do.
He had to rush back to pick up Grandpa Du and protect Tianbao. The person he cared about most was to help her.
The place where Tianbao fell was a huge hole in the ground. The entrance to the hole above was sealed. There was no light in the hole and it was so dark that you couldn't even see your fingers.
After she landed on the ground, she immediately groped for the situation, ignoring the thuds and groans of heavy objects falling around her.
Judging from the solid feel of her feet, she could tell that the ground here was actually made of iron. She tapped her fingers on the ground, and sure enough, there was a clanging sound on the iron.
Based on the fact that he was forced to roll down the sloping terrain after falling, he concluded that the cave was winding downhill.
"Miss Su, stop probing. I made this place specially with pure iron. It cannot be cut easily to prevent the magic soldiers from escaping. I know you are very capable, but you can't escape from here unless you I'll turn on the mechanism." In the darkness, the man's voice sounded strange, as if he was injured.
Tianbao said quietly, "Turn on the mechanism, or I will kill you."
"The girl wants to take my life, she can do it at any time, but there is no need to rush. This place is quiet and you won't be disturbed when talking. How about you and I talk openly and honestly?"
After Yan Changkong finished speaking, he leaned back against the iron wall and pressed the bones of his right leg with both hands.
The intention was to trap Su Jiuni and Bai Yu, but unexpectedly they had already fallen. Su Jiuni was able to turn the tables and threw Bai Yu out and brought him down.
He was caught off guard and fell hard, breaking his right leg bone.
Taking two deep breaths, he forced himself to suppress the pain in his legs. When he didn't hear the answer for a long time, he called again, "Miss Su?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the vine whip around his neck suddenly tightened, almost suffocating him.
The girl's cold voice came from the other end, "What are you talking about with me?"
