Chapter 727 Entering the Palace Again
House arrest? !
Li Beifeng's face changed suddenly, and he stared at her suddenly: What's going on?
She, is under house arrest? !
The girl wrapped her clothes, shook off the white snow falling on her collar, and looked up at Li Beifeng with her hands behind her back. She was bare-faced and looked at Li Beifeng softly: She is pregnant with your child, but you don't even care about her safety?
Zhou Qiuning's words made Li Beifeng silent.
At the same time, anxiety and worry surged in his heart.
After not seeing Zhao Ying for two or three days, he finally realized that something might have happened.
But now Li Beifeng's identity is sensitive, and he doesn't know what happened in the palace.
What's going on? !
Li Beifeng didn't care about anything else, and stared at her quickly: What do you know? Why was she under house arrest?
What's going on? !
...
Listening to Li Beifeng's anxious words and his worried look at the moment, Zhou Qiuning gradually put away the smile on her face.
Then, she glanced ahead again.
Not far away, the towering red walls and the majestic palace gate were covered with heavy snow!
Today, the only person who can put her under house arrest is probably only one person...
Zhou Qiuning turned around and stared at Li Beifeng's face: Who do you think it is? !
Li Beifeng's face changed slightly, and he thought of something: Emperor Zhao? !
Sure enough!
No wonder the past two days have been so weird, no wonder the news of Prince Zhaonan's death was released so easily!
Everything, he did it? !
A sharp coldness suddenly flashed across Li Beifeng's face.
Why did Emperor Zhao put Ying'er under house arrest? !
What does he want to do?
Or... does he want to regret it?
The reason?
Zhou Qiuning glanced at him meaningfully: Can't you think of it?
Li Beifeng said in a deep and cold voice: Ying'er is a threat to him?
It seems that he is reluctant to give up the imperial power in his hands after all!
He had expected that Emperor Zhao would go back on his word, but he didn't expect that this day would come!
That's right!
Now that Ying'er has eliminated Prince Zhaonan, once the news is announced, it will certainly cause an uproar in the world, and Ying'er's prestige will naturally reach its peak!
At this time, Zhao Ying is already capable enough to threaten Emperor Zhao's status!
At this time, Emperor Zhao will indeed be unable to sit still!
Of course, perhaps it's not just this reason!
Zhou Qiu Ning glanced at Li Beifeng again, but shook his head gently.
Li Beifeng frowned: What do you mean?
She is pregnant!
Zhou Qiu Ning's mouth corners slightly raised: She entered the palace this time, and the news of her pregnancy could not be concealed at all...
What do you think, if the news of the eldest princess of Dazhao getting pregnant before marriage spreads, how much damage will it cause to the Dazhao royal family?
Li Beifeng was stunned. Indeed, the news that the eldest princess got pregnant before marriage was enough to shock the world. For the sake of the face of the Dazhao royal family, Emperor Zhao might...
Of course, there may be another reason...
Zhou Qiuning suddenly stared at Li Beifeng's face. After a moment, she said thoughtfully: Do you think Emperor Zhao knows whose child she is carrying? !
When this was said, Li Beifeng's face suddenly sank.
Do you know?
The answer is already obvious!
When Li Beifeng saved Emperor Zhao before, he had already revealed his identity.
Emperor Zhao was not a fool. He could see the relationship between Zhao Ying and Li Beifeng.
Therefore, it goes without saying who the father of the child in Emperor Zhao's belly is.
It's about to come out!
How do you know this?
Li Beifeng seemed to remember something and looked up at her.
Zhou Qiuning rolled her beautiful eyes and said boredly: I was free and had nothing to do. I went to the palace yesterday and accidentally found out some news!
What, what are you going to do next?
Enter the palace!
Li Beifeng spoke in a deep voice.
After learning that the identity of the child in Zhao Ying's belly might have been exposed, he couldn't sit still!
If Emperor Zhao knew that the child in Zhao Ying's belly was his, Emperor Zhao would never let the child survive.
Therefore, Li Beifeng must go to the palace to see Zhao Ying as soon as possible to confirm her safety.
...
It was late at night.
The imperial city, covered in heavy snow, was silent.
The imperial guards guarding the palace put on thick armor and sweaters, but they were still frozen stiff in the cold wind.
Rows of troops patrolled in the imperial city, and occasionally a few whistles were heard.
Under the cover of night, two figures quietly sneaked into the palace.
Zhou Qiu Ning was already familiar with how to sneak into the palace.
With her help, plus the unfathomable lightness of the two, they successfully avoided the eyes of many masters in the palace.
Where is she imprisoned? !
In the night, Li Beifeng appeared in front of the corridor of a palace and turned back to ask.
I don't know.
Zhou Qiuning shook her head and waved her hand: I just heard that she was under house arrest. I haven't found out where she is being held!
Li Beifeng frowned slightly.
As the eldest princess of Dazhao, Zhao Ying could not be held in the prison even if she was under house arrest.
Then the only possible place to be held is her residence or a palace.
Let's look for her separately and meet here when we have news?
Li Beifeng made a suggestion.
Zhou Qiuning did not refuse and nodded.
So, the two of them split up and shuttled silently in the palace in the quiet night.
However, after Li Beifeng searched Zhao Ying's residence and several other residences where he might be imprisoned, he still found no trace of Zhao Ying.
Li Beifeng, who had returned without success, returned to the original place, only to see that Zhou Qiuning had also returned.
how's it going?
No!
Zhou Qiuning waved her hands and sighed softly: I've searched all over the harem... but I haven't found her whereabouts. It's strange...
Zhou Qiuning was thoughtful and asked: Where can she be placed under house arrest? !
Could it be that it really is...a prison in heaven? !
When Li Beifeng heard this, he was startled: Is there a prison in the palace?
Yes, I have!
Zhou Qiuning nodded slightly and explained: "However, it shouldn't be called Tianlao. It is in an extremely hidden basement next to the harem and is heavily guarded." I heard that the people imprisoned there are all high-ranking officials and royal dignitaries who have committed serious crimes...
Hearing this, Li Beifeng's face suddenly darkened.
Could it be that Zhao Ying is being held there?
She is still pregnant. What if something goes wrong in a place like that? !
Although he thought it was unlikely, since he could not find Zhao Ying's whereabouts, Li Beifeng had no choice but to hold on to his last glimmer of hope and plan to go take a look.
Walk!
Where to go?
cell!
…
royal palace.
A heavily guarded courtyard on the eastern outskirts of the harem.
The surrounding area of the courtyard was guarded by countless heavy patrols.
In the dead of night, these forbidden troops patrolled and changed their guard, guarding this place.
Perhaps it was because the weather was too cold. The Imperial Guards were so cold tonight that they had to find ways to stay warm.
In addition, in the dead of night, people chatted occasionally in twos and threes, and relaxed their vigilance.
No one noticed that in the ghostly night, two figures quietly approached and sneaked in.
In the courtyard, the two Imperial Guards were still standing diligently in the cold wind and snow.
Look solemn!
Just then, a gust of cold wind blew.
At the same time, a faint fragrance came.
What does it taste like?
One of the Imperial Guards sniffed and frowned slightly.
At this moment, he seemed to realize something, and his body instinctively realized that something was wrong.
No, there is...
Before he could finish saying the poisonous word, the forbidden soldier's body collapsed.
The remaining colleagues' eyes were horrified at this moment. When they wanted to shout loudly, they were speechless. Their heads were heavy and their bodies were also limp and fell down.
In a daze, he saw two figures approaching, a man and a woman, boldly breaking into the dungeon.
…
In the dungeon.
The dim and quiet light slowly refracted on the cold walls.
Not far in front of the dungeon, in front of a table, several dungeon guards were gathering together to drink and play cards, and the noise kept coming.
Under the dim light, a ghostly shadow flashed silently.
At the same time, the jailer who was still playing cards stopped suddenly at almost the same time. Then, he quickly fell down.
Done!
Zhou Qiuning appeared at the side, clapped her hands and turned back.
Not far away, Li Beifeng walked slowly over, glanced at the unconscious jailers on the ground, and was about to walk inside without saying a word.
Who? Dare to break into the palace dungeon privately? !
An old and cold roar suddenly sounded.
At the same time, a fierce murderous aura instantly locked onto the two of them.
Anyone else?
Zhou Qiuning, who had just clapped her hands, turned her head and looked in one direction.
At the end of the corridor, stood an old man shrouded in black robes.
Deal with him!
Li Beifeng said expressionlessly before taking action.
They sneaked into the palace dungeon quietly. If the news was leaked, they might cause trouble!
Leave it to me!
Zhou Qiuning stopped Li Beifeng with words, then glanced at him and said with a faint smile: You'd better go find your eldest princess quickly and see how she is doing. Leave this person to me!
Li Beifeng was startled, a little surprised, a little worried and suspicious: Can you handle it?
Who do you look down on?
Zhou Qiuning pouted: If I can't solve it, how can you solve it?
When Li Beifeng thought about it, it seemed like the same thing.
Zhou Qiuning's strength is far superior to him. If he can't handle her, Li Beifeng's stay will probably be of no use.
Then be careful, don't show off if you are defeated!
After Li Beifeng gave his instructions, he walked towards the depths of the dungeon without much hesitation.
stop!
When the old man in black robe saw that Li Beifeng dared to barge in front of him, he immediately shouted angrily and rushed towards Li Beifeng.
However, Zhou Qiuning's figure stood in front of him like a ghost.
Your opponent is me!
…
Li Beifeng searched all the way along the dim dungeon. The dungeon was empty and filled with a strange and desolate atmosphere.
Finally, when Li Beifeng walked all the way to the end of the dungeon, he finally found a person being imprisoned in the innermost room.
However, when he saw the imprisoned person, Li Beifeng was suddenly startled.
In sight, there was a relatively clean and tidy cell.
Although the cell is simple and simple, it is well-equipped and the environment is not bad.
This place does not look like a prison cell, but more like a residence for ordinary people.
At this time, in the cell
There was a thick blanket on the ground.
There was a person sitting on the blanket.
A young man!
A young man with a vicissitudes of life and an unkempt appearance.
It looked like he hadn't showered or tidied his clothes for many days, and his whole body was dirty.
Especially the face that should have been very handsome, but now it can't see the elegant temperament of the past.
His eyes were dull, staring at the ground in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
It was not until a long time later that he finally seemed to realize the presence of someone and slowly raised his head.
Through the gap of the iron window of the cell, his eyes fell on Li Beifeng.
The next second!
His eyes, which were originally dull and dead, seemed to burst out with a ray of light at this moment.
His face seemed a little unbelievable.
Li...
Brother Li? !
The familiar name made Li Beifeng dazed for a while.
Zhao Jing!
He never thought that Zhao Jing would be imprisoned here?
A few months ago, under their joint planning, they successfully deposed Zhao Jing.
Then, Zhao Jing disappeared as if he had evaporated from the earth!
No one knew his whereabouts!
Unexpectedly, he was imprisoned here.
After not seeing him for a few months, Zhao Jing seemed to have completely changed.
The former prince of Dazhao and the emperor of Dazhao has fallen to the present state.
Li Beifeng still vaguely remembers that when he last saw Zhao Jing in the palace, Zhao Jing was full of vigor and vitality.
But now, everything has disappeared.
Zhao Jing did so many things that hurt the world for his ambition, and finally suffered a backlash!
This is his retribution.
Li Beifeng was a little dazed and surprised.
And Zhao Jing's call of Brother Li seemed to awaken some of Li Beifeng's memories.
I originally thought that your father would kill you!
Li Beifeng spoke softly: Unexpectedly, he still couldn't do it in the end.
Zhao Jing was silent.
It's been a few months!
He was locked up here for a few months, without seeing the sun!
From the emperor to nothing. Such a huge gap, he collapsed, uneasy, crazy... But in the end, he still accepted it all.
Perhaps, fate has been doomed!
I am just a useless child now, and I can no longer pose a threat to him!
Zhao Jing's face seemed to have an indescribable calmness: He didn't kill me, just because he didn't want to ruin his reputation!
Do you regret it?
Li Beifeng suddenly asked.
Regret it?
Zhao Jing murmured to himself: Maybe...
Maybe even he himself didn't know whether he regretted it or not.
But it's too late to say it now.
Brother Li, why are you here?
It seems that he hasn't talked to anyone for several months. Although Zhao Jing is disheveled at this moment, he seems a little excited when he sees Li Beifeng again: How is the outside now... Where did the emperor's uncle fight?
Li Beifeng was silent for a moment, and then he said: Prince Zhaonan, committed suicide!
Zhao Jing's pupils seemed to shrink suddenly, and the expression on his face was completely stunned.
It seemed that he heard some incredible news.
Suicide? ! !
