Tang Ning pursed her lips tightly and stood in front of the door looking ahead.
"I told you, brother just took medicine, and the imperial doctor had already ordered him to rest."
"I know Mr. Yue is worried about things in the palace, but Canglang has already brought the black-armored guards into the palace to protect him. Your Majesty also knows that my brother is injured, so he will not be angry with him because of what happened tonight."
She was petite in stature, but had an unmistakable look on her face.
"During this period, things have been going on outside, which has disturbed my brother. Mr. Yue is a person that I trust, and I don't want to see his injury lingering for a long time."
"There is a commotion outside. I will bring someone to accompany my brother to protect him. Mr. Yue, please go back and rest first."
Yue Fengcheng looked closely at Tang Ning's face. Even though she showed no signs of abnormality, he couldn't help but look into the Crane Hall.
Originally, he was a little skeptical about the unexpected news. He had personally seen Xiao Yan staying in the Crane Hall, and had seen the imperial doctor coming in and out several times to treat his injuries. He had also heard Xiao Yan's voice with his own ears. How could it be possible that Yan was not in the capital for a long time.
But at this moment, looking at Tang Ning who was standing in front of him and refusing to let him in, he suddenly became a little convinced.
Yue Feng was Emperor An's "eyes" who stayed by Xiao Yan's side. Xiao Yan quietly left the capital, but he knew nothing. He had no way to explain to Emperor An, and he remembered what Lu Chongyuan had promised him...
Yue Fengcheng's face darkened: "Princess Princess, there is no need to put words down on me. I met the governor to discuss business with him, but why did Princess Xiangning block her in every possible way, as if she didn't want me to come in?"
"In the past, even if the Governor was seriously injured, he would definitely not leave the affairs of the Privy Council and the Palace alone. But this time since he was injured, he has not shown up. Even when I asked for permission to see him, he repeatedly blocked me. Let Canglang take care of everything."
"The princess is stopping me like this, is it because the governor is injured, or has she conspired with others to kill the governor a long time ago, so she doesn't dare to let me in?!"
Yue Jian shouted sharply: "How outrageous, the governor has already said that he will not see outsiders while he is recuperating."
Yue Fengcheng did not retreat at all: "I have been following the Governor for many years. When did I become an outsider? There has been so much noise outside, but the Governor refuses to show up. What are you trying to cover up?"
The person he was carrying behind him was also Xiao Yan's person, but he didn't know that Xiao Yan had left the capital, and he didn't know Yuefengcheng's identity. Hearing Yue Fengcheng's words about this matter, he couldn't help but become suspicious of Tang Ning and the others.
"Mr. Yue is right. He has followed the governor for many years and has the most trust from the governor. The princess will not let him see the governor."
"Yes, the Governor has not shown up for a long time, and such a big thing has happened outside. The Privy Council also needs the Governor to preside over it."
There was a noise in front of the hospital, and Tang Ning looked ugly.
Yue Fengcheng said in a deep voice: "Please step aside, Princess, I must see the Governor tonight!"
"I said no!"
"Is it impossible, or do you not dare? Could it be that you really harmed the governor?!"
Tang Ning saw that the expressions of those behind Yue Fengcheng had changed, but she had no way to explain to them, so she only led people to block in front of the Hexi Hall and not allow anyone to approach.
Yue Fengcheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he said sternly: "Well, you Song Tangning, the governor has protected you in every possible way, but you actually harmed him. Something must have happened to the governor, let me break in!"
Tsukimi hissed: "How dare you?!"
Yue Fengcheng sneered: "You see if I dare, I want to see if the person inside is the governor!"
The people brought by Yue Fengcheng were also loyal to Xiao Yan. When they were instigated, they only thought that something had really happened to Xiao Yan. They stepped forward with swords in hand. When the swords were at war, a cold shout came from the Crane Hall.
"Yue Fengcheng, what do you want to do?"
Everyone outside stopped.
"The Overlord."
"It's the Governor..."
Yue Fengcheng became more confident when he saw that the vague figure did not show up.
"He is not the Overlord!"
Yue Fengcheng's face turned stern and he glared at Tangning: "Song Tangning, how dare you let someone pretend to be the governor, catch them!!"
The people behind him took the lead when they heard this, and the scene immediately became chaotic. Yue Jian protected Tang Ning, and the owl guards in the courtyard were not afraid of the people brought by Yue Fengcheng when they took action. Tang Ning soon saw blood as he watched. But the people in the courtyard were uneasy.
"Be careful, he dares to come here with only so many people..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard someone knocking open the gate, and several black shadows were falling towards this side from outside the courtyard wall.
Yue Jian said sharply: "Yue Fengcheng, how dare you collude with outsiders!"
Yue Fengcheng was not afraid at all: "I am just worried about the safety of the Governor. Princess Xiangning is persecuting Governor Xiao. Everyone in the courtyard is accomplices. Take them all down."
"If there is resistance, life or death will not matter!"
The people who broke in were surrounded, and fighting was also heard in the outer courtyard. Those who followed Yue Fengcheng in realized that something was wrong and wanted to stop. It was too late, and those who were let in were merciless.
There were more and more dead people around, but there were not a few who came forward. Seeing that the owl guards in the courtyard were unable to respond, Yue Jian swung his dagger and hit one of them in the neck, grabbed Tang Ning and retreated quickly.
"Girl, come in!"
Tang Ning dragged Xue Ru while Yue Jian protected them.
Tianqing saw that the situation was not right and did not dare to stay inside anymore. When he saw someone chasing him into the Hexi Hall, he flew forward and kicked the person out, while Tang Ning and Tang Ning were forced to stagger towards Hexi Hall. Retreat inside the hall.
Blood splashed on the door, the sound of fighting became more intense, dead bodies lay in front of the Hexi Hall, and Tianqing and Yuejian were no match for them.
Tang Ning knew that she couldn't help them if she stayed, and would even hold them back. When she saw the two of them fighting, she asked her to go first. She quickly pulled Xue Ru and ran towards the inner room.
Xue Ru held Tang Ning's hands tightly and said, "Sister..."
"Don't be afraid."
Tang Ning said with a pale face: "Retreat to the Leap Carp Platform. There is a boat below. After rowing a little further, there will be a secret passage. Let's go through the lake!"
She touched the letter cigarette she kept in her arms. She had prepared it early in the morning. Once it was used, Canglang and everyone buried in the capital would do it directly.
The Canglang people might not have no chance of capturing An Di in the palace, but it would be too risky for the Imperial Guard and others to take action, and once the Xinyan was used, everything would be exposed.
Xiao Yan's forbearance and planning over the years had all come to nothing. If he had not obtained the military power in the northwest, he might not have the chance to start over again after withdrawing from the capital.
Tang Ning only held the letter cigarette and hesitated whether to let it go. After leading Xue Ru to the Leap Carp Platform, she said to Xue Ru: "Don't be afraid, jump down..."
"Sister!!"
In Tang Ning's eyes, Xue Ru's pupils suddenly widened as she was about to climb over the fence. The next moment, she hit her hard, grabbed her and rolled to the ground, and the place where they were standing was pierced by a crossbow arrow.
"Girl!!"
When Yue Jian came in with blood on his body and tried his best to kill the besieged people, he saw someone slashing at Tang Ning with a knife.
Xue Ru ignored Tang Ning and lay on top of her.
"don't want!"
Tang Ning watched the knife falling downwards, and her heart was filled with despair: "Aru!!"
boom!
A long sword flew over in the air, and the man who had just slashed with the sword was nailed to death in front of the imperial concubine's couch by the force of the sword. The fallen long sword was blown away by another long spear.
Tang Ning grabbed the letter cigarette in her hand and stared blankly at the figure jumping over the railing of the carp platform, her eyes blurred with tears for a moment.
