Chapter 225 The Great Army Presses the City
Looking at Lin Muyang also disappearing into the night, Xiang Zixi's heart suddenly felt a trace of melancholy.
When did you become so promiscuous? Or are you a ruthless person at all?
"What should we do next?" Xin Zeyang asked faintly, "There is still more than an hour before dawn!"
Xiang Zixi looked up at the sky, turned around and said to Xin Zeyang and Qian Yingying, "You should go back to Qian's house immediately and take the necessary things and take the little fat fat to avoid it for a while!"
"What about you?" Qian Yingying blurted out, "Where are you going?"
After this night, Qian Yingying's understanding of Xiang Zixi had another layer. Slowly, she has accepted Xiang Zixi and has really begun to look up at her.
"I still have something else to do! It seems that I'm going to see that old witch for a while!" Xiang Zixi smiled gently, reached out and patted Xin Zeyang on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Although Yingying is a spoiled lady, the essence is not too bad, so you are responsible for her safety!" Take care of my two fat maids! I promised them that I would marry for their glory! So, please!"
"But is it really okay for you to say it yourself?" Xin Zeyang frowned slightly, and his handsome face was disapproving.
"Who dares to say if I can't do it? Don't worry, I'm not that impulsive! Besides, this palace is not only one empress dowager, but also a Xiahou!" Xiang Zixi raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Ziqing's greatest strength is to combine inside and outside. Now I just make her unable to look at each other and catch her off guard! Humph! I have offended Xiang Zixi and want to treat it as nothing. How can it be possible?
"I didn't plan to argue with her, but I didn't expect that she would take an inch and force her again and again. Good, since I have touched my bottom line, I will fight back with all my strength!" Xiang Zixi clenched her fist hard: "I will make her understand why the flowers are so red! Well, don't hesitate any more, we don't have much time! Let's go!"
Xin Zeyang knows that he can't convince Xiang Zixi. Since he can't do it, don't drag her down!
"Let's go!" Xin Zeyang grabbed Qian Yingying's arm, grabbed Qian Yingying who didn't want to leave, and left the place abruptly.
Looking at Zixi, he flashed to a nearby family, took off his cumbersome skirt and changed into a light night coat.
After touching the burden he stole from the barracks, he suddenly opened the burden and saw a few letters suddenly appear in his sight!
Gently lit a candle, quickly opened these letters, simply browsed, and suddenly shrank Zixi's pupils!
There are also ministers who support Ziqing in the court! There are even a few important ministers of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!
The last letter suddenly attracted Xiang Zixi's attention. She quickly pulled it out and suddenly took a breath of cold air!
The Dark King of Qi will combine with Princess Ziqing in the name of supporting Yao to help Princess Ziqing seize the capital of Yao! In other words, even if Xiang Zixi destroys the grain and fodder of the right army, if the king of Qi turns to support Ziqing, the lost grain and fodder can be replenished in an instant!
The capital is in danger!
Xiang Zixi suddenly tightened her eyebrows. What should she do? Now that Ziqing has returned to the capital, the news in the capital is probably not to spread! At dawn, the purple army gathered around the capital, and behind it was the grain and fodder support of the king of Qi. Even if he did not enter the palace and only fought a war of attrition, I'm afraid the capital would be dragged down!
There are so many people in the capital, and both the fixed population and the floating population need to consume food! Once food is scarce, there will be chaos in the city! If the Empress Dowager raises her flag to abolish the emperor at this time, she will instantly get the unanimous approval of the ministers who supported Princess Ziqing in the court! I'm afraid that at that time, even if Xiahou Junhao has the ability, he will not be able to recover!
The form suddenly became grim!
Xiang Zixi collected these letters, pondered for a while, resolutely put them in his arms, quietly left the house, and galloped in the direction of the palace.
With the gold medal, Xiang Zixi passed through the guard of the gate of the capital unimpeded. But even so, Xiang Zixi was keenly aware that these guards had many new faces.
Are these people Xiahou Junhao or the Empress Dowager? Princess Ziqing has arrived in the capital, but why is the Empress Dowager still standing still? Is she still waiting for any opportunity?
With this question, Xiang Zixi passed directly through the main hall behind the gate and quickly ran in the direction of the Kunning Palace where the empress dowager lived.
Just as Xiang Zixi was about to approach Kunning Palace, her natural sixth sense told her that she could not act rashly. Looking up at the majestic and luxurious front porch of Kunning Palace, his body lightly clung to the vermilion pillar, gently turned over and jumped onto the roof, gently crossed the other side of the roof on the roof, fluttering down, grabbed the eaves and turned over deftly, and suddenly appeared in the side courtyard of Kunning Palace.
This is a small garden. In this midsummer season, the flowers and plants are lush and suitable for hiding.
He rolled a donkey on the spot and suddenly hid under a osmanthus tree, looking at the movement of Kunning Palace from one side.
Sure enough, just as Xiang Zixi had just hidden her body, a figure flashed away from the door of Kunning Palace and disappeared in an instant!
Who will appear in the Empress Dowager's bedroom at this time? Although the name of Kunning Palace is the same as that of a dynasty in the era when Xiang Zixi lived, the architectural style is completely different. The eaves are somewhat exotic, which obviously distinguishes other palace styles. If you guess correctly, this should be a palace specially built for the empress dowager, which is the architectural style of her hometown and a means to please the empress dowager.
Xiang Zixi is not very strange to this kind of building, but it can't be said how familiar it is. After all, in her era, most of such houses were antiques and were for tourists to visit. The real residence is to live in a 100-storey high-rise building.
Therefore, Xiang Zixi chose the safest way when he was not fully sure, that is, to wait and see what happens!
Since there are also people who visit the palace at night, no matter what the other party has or what purpose they have, they just need to hide their bodies and observe clearly!
The terrible team directly under the empress dowager should be somewhere in the capital, but it will never be in this palace compound, otherwise it won't be a mess? If the imperial army and the secret army stand up to the bull, no one will be safe.
In this case, the empress dowager must also use her tokens to mobilize the army. Is it possible that the purpose of that person visiting the palace at night is for this?
So, if the inference comes true, is the other party an enemy or a friend?
At this time, the figure suddenly appeared in front of the door again and gently opened the door when everyone was sleepy in the morning.
Huh? Colleagues?
Xiang Zixi narrowed her eyes. From the other party's movements, Xiang Zixi found that the other party's technique was somewhat similar to her. Really? Choose to steal from the palace compound at this time? Is this thief too shrewd or too stupid?
Xiang Zixi slowly straightened up and took a few steps closer to the direction of the figure.
Looking up at the sky, it's already dark time, and it's almost dawn!
When Xiang Zixi hesitated to mix in with the maid's clothes again, the black dress suddenly stopped all the movements in his hand, dodged and left the door of the hall.
It's so strange. Why did he leave again? Was it discovered?
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a little maid of honor to carry a lantern, followed by several maids, holding a basin and towels in her hand, and bowed her head in the direction of Kunning Palace.
The figure flashed gently and suddenly appeared behind the last little maid of honor. Then the little maids opened the door so grandly and disappeared on the eaves.
Gently raised the corners of Xiang Zixi's mouth. Sure enough, this person is walking with himself!
Xiang Zixi will not miss this good opportunity! Just as the last little maid turned around and closed the door, she paused to Zixi's body and instantly climbed into the room. She flashed, hid behind the pillar, moved several times, and suddenly hid behind a wardrobe, holding her breath.
A timid voice sounded: "Empress dowager, please change your clothes!"
An old woman's voice came from **. Her voice was slightly tired. Obviously, she didn't have a good rest and whispered, "Alas, it's finally this day! You don't have to wait for it today. Let's all retreat!"
Yes! Empress Dowager!" After putting down the things in their hands, several little maids knelt down and saluted, turned backwards and left.
Xiang Zixi turned slightly and looked at **. ** sat a well-maintained middle-aged woman, who looked young, about 40 years old.
The woman only wore a middle coat and looked very bad. Obviously, she didn't fall asleep much last night.
Although there is a haggard look on her face, it can still be seen that this woman must have been a beauty when she was young. After giving birth to a child, her figure is still exquisite. Xu Niang is half old, and her charm still exists!
Xiang Zixi's eyebrows are slightly locked. Is this empress dowager waiting for someone?
The Empress Dowager slowly stood up from **, sat straight in front of the dressing table, looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help saying to herself, "My enemy, why don't you come to see me? After today, whether we can meet again in the future depends on God's will!"
Xiang Zixi's heart is even more puzzled. Isn't this empress dowager a spring heart rippling? Listening to this tone, he is obviously an equal man!
Sure enough, the next moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind the screen by the bed: "Manniang, didn't I come to see you?"
Hearing that sound, Xiang Zixi once thought that her ears were deaf! It's him!
Hearing that sound, Xiang Zixi, who peeped in the distance, almost accelerated his heartbeat and messed up the frequency!
I never thought of it! I really want to break my head, but I didn't guess! The person the Empress Dowager wants to wait for is him!
If you don't have the ability to never forget, if you don't have the ability to never forget, I'm afraid you will really be fooled!
