Chapter 311

Chapter 311 So many traitors!

Emperor Liang De smiled and asked, "Are you hungry? Eat something first."

Without waiting for Xue Qingyin to answer, he ordered the palace maid to bring the food. The preparations were thorough, and it was clear that coming to the other palace, or even staying in the other palace, was all part of the emperor's plan.

"I... will you serve the princess?" The palace maid walked to Xue Qingyin and spoke carefully.

Most of the palace maids here were trusted by Emperor Liang De, and they knew that they were going to detain Princess Xuan.

So they were a little afraid that Xue Qingyin would cry, make a fuss, or even hang herself.

Xue Qingyin exhaled and responded, "Okay."

No matter what happened outside, she had to take care of herself first.

The palace maid was greatly relieved when she heard the voice.

This person is really... stable.

Xue Qingyin actually thought about whether she should play the role of a pitiful little white flower in front of the emperor, and be so angry that she was dying, and whether she would be happy only if she really forced me to death.

But she thought about it carefully... it's a bit harmful to the body, forget it.

And the dog emperor's eyes are too sharp, her tricks can't be hidden from him at all.

Forget it... Xue Qingyin thought, and immediately lowered her head and took two bites of cakes.

There was a heater burning in the palace, and snowflakes were flying outside.

They were eating quietly here.

Dou Ruyun led the former Xingyuan Army troops and ran all the way to the other palace.

The other palace was built on the mountain, which was easy to hide.

However, the trees near the palace were cut down, just to prevent assassins.

"What should we do? How can we sneak in to save the princess?" Someone said worriedly.

Dou Ruyun was very calm: "Old rules."

The eyes of the people behind him lit up: "Yes, what should we pretend this time?"

Dou Ruyun walked out of the forest in a swagger.

Soon they arrived at the gate of the other palace.

The gate was guarded by the imperial guards, and when they saw them, they shouted: "Who are you? Dare to trespass into the other palace?"

Dou Ruyun was wearing armor.

This is specially prepared for them by King Xuan...

It is convenient to blend into the team.

"We are the left guards, and we are ordered to come to the other palace to protect the emperor." Dou Ruyun said calmly.

Just like when he called himself "Xingyuan Army Captain" and entered Xingzhou openly.

The imperial guards and the guards have their own powers, the former guards the palace, and the latter guards the imperial city.

The two sides rarely deal with each other.

They can't deal with each other.

The imperial guards were a little hesitant when they heard their origins. After all, the two sides were not familiar with each other...

"Where is the badge?"

Dou Ruyun immediately took out his badge.

He was from the Xingyuan Army, and later became the head of the guards. He had to pretend to be familiar with the military system, and he could do it easily.

"Don't waste time, the Xue family has been captured, and we just need to catch Xue Ning and bring him to justice!" Dou Ruyun said again.

The imperial guards immediately relaxed: "Follow me."

Dou Ruyun and his group have been traitors to Daliang for so many years, and have been operating in the Meng clan for many years.

If they hadn't been brave enough, how could they have persisted until now?

When the guards led them to the shade, Dou Ruyun only gave a look, and the men he brought immediately rushed over and quietly dealt with the guards.

"That's where the princess is... Let's go!" Dou Ruyun said in a deep voice.

They are traitors, and have nothing to do with King Xuan on the surface. It's most appropriate for them to rescue people.

Even... they can kill people here as an excuse to purge the court.

Thinking of this, Dou Ruyun was so excited that his blood boiled, and he felt that revenge for Prince Zhang was just around the corner.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark.

They touched the vicinity of Xue Qingyin's palace... "Where are the guards?"

"Strange."

"Could it be that they set a trap and deliberately waited for us to get in?"

Dou Ruyun also felt strange, frowned and said, "Wait!"

Then he climbed up the high platform alone, carefully groped the pillars, and ran towards the window of the palace.

The window was propped up, and an adult man could climb in...

But there was no need to climb in.

Dou Ruyun found that the palace maids had fallen to the ground, and there was nothing inside.

Where is the princess?

Dou Ruyun's eyes changed.

At this time, footsteps were faintly heard, and Dou Ruyun quickly climbed out.

Two eunuchs were holding palace lanterns in front, and the guards followed quickly.

"Everyone has fallen..."

"It's over! The princess won't be kidnapped, right?"

Dou Ruyun heard their anxious voices, leaned against the wall, and held his breath slightly.

It seems that this is not a trap set by the emperor...but someone really got there first!

The eunuch went in to check, and came out with an even uglier face: "The food is only half used, and two plates are broken. Hurry, report to His Majesty."

When Dou Ruyun heard this, he rushed out without hesitation and killed a guard.

The others jumped out immediately and moved their knives.

They were wearing armor, and they looked like people from the Longwu Army, but also like people from the Imperial Army.

The guards couldn't tell who was who. Their first reaction was to shout, "They are Xue Ning's men!"

"Why are there so many traitors?"

"Quick, quick!"

The area around the palace was in chaos.

Dou Ruyun raised her eyebrows and thought, OK, I can put all the hats on Xue Ning's head.

And where is Xue Qingyin now?

She has been taken out of the palace.

The person holding her put her down gently and smiled, "Didn't expect me to come back and kill you?"

Xue Qingyin cursed, "You are so bold, you are worthy of being the original male protagonist!"

She looked at He Songning in front of her and said coldly: "It's none of my business. The emperor didn't think of it."

However, He Songning was not in a hurry to escape at this moment. Instead, he wanted to turn around and pick her up first. Xue Qingyin was really a bit unpredictable in his mind.

He Songning looked at her blankly: "I wonder when will I see your panic?"

"In the next life." Xue Qingyin said impatiently.

She said and touched her belly: "I was only halfway through my meal, and you were kidnapped and taken away. You are really indifferent."

When He Songning heard her scolding him, he actually smiled happily.

"Master, are we leaving?" someone on the side asked.

That person was Kou Zhengming, who had rebelled from the imperial guard before.

Kou Zhengming looked at Xue Qingyin and probably didn't like the tone of her conversation with He Songning, so he said coldly: "With her, the rest of the journey will be smooth."

Xue Qingyin sighed: "Take me as a hostage?"

At most, it would only threaten King Xuan.

I'm afraid it won't work for the emperor...

If she was going to die, the emperor would probably just cry sadly, turn around and spread He Songning's ashes.

Oh no...

Xue Qingyin suddenly remembered what Emperor Liang De said earlier.

She looked at He Songning and said innocently: "I'm afraid it's a step too late."

He Songning narrowed his eyes and said nothing, as if he was studying her expression and behavior, trying to deduce her true thoughts.

And Kou Zhengming couldn't help but ask first: "It's too late? What do you mean?"

Xue Qingyin sighed: "Everyone should know now...Xue Ning, the son of the Xue family, rebelled and stabbed Princess Xuan to death."

She said and pointed to herself: "Well, I'm already a dead person outside. If you take me as a hostage, who will recognize it?"

I hope King Xuan won’t be sad...

Xue Qingyin didn't care on her face, but she couldn't help but tighten her heart.

Kou Zhengming sneered: "If I take you to see King Xuan, will he not be able to recognize his wife?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "A bastard like you can't even see King Xuan in person."

Kou Zhengming's tone was a little impatient: "Then are you telling us to kill you?"

Xue Qingyin tilted her head and stared at He Songning: "Are you going to kill me?"

He Songning said in a gloomy tone: "How could I be willing to kill you?"

He stroked the hair beside her ear: "The sword has no eyes, I will leave you in the forest to wait for me."

"If I come back victorious, you will share the kingdom with me, okay? When you entered Prince Xuan's palace, you took the name of concubine. If I marry you, I should use the most noble etiquette in the world."

"If I make a mistake and die outside,... Qingyin, you can accompany me to the underworld in this mountain forest."

Xue Qingyin was so angry that she scolded him: "Who wants to live and die with you?"

He Songning smiled happily, and the sparse moon shadow fell on his face, making it difficult to distinguish between good and evil.

He said: "But you have no choice. I want to live and die with you."

Xue Qingyin was so angry that she reached out to catch him.

He Songning straightened up and turned around: "Let's go."

Kou Zhengming couldn't help but glance at him with fear, swallowed his doubtful words, and followed He Songning down the mountain obediently.

The other two guards took Xue Qingyin to find a hole in the forest to hide.

After hiding, they quickly followed He Songning's figure.

In the blink of an eye, Xue Qingyin was the only one left in the cave.

She was a weak woman who was pregnant and didn't know how to fight. She stayed here without food or water. She could only hope that He Songning was alive. Only if he was alive and sent someone to bring her food could she survive.

If he dies, she dies too.

The cave was pitch black, and the tentacles were made of cold rocks.

Under the moonlight, the branches outside looked like demons with teeth and claws, which was frightening to look at.

Xue Qingyin sat there and smiled slowly.

What He Songning did was a bastard thing.

But he took her away from the emperor, and he went to war without intending to take her with him.

...This is really a great good deed!

It is difficult to leave here, but is it still difficult to escape from the emperor?

…

As Xue Qingyin said, "it's a step too late."

While she was eating, the second imperial edict had been passed on.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Someone stumbled and ran to King Xuan. He raised his hand and stroked the snow from his face, his mouth open and his eyes straight.

"News came from the other palace, saying... that the princess was killed by Xue Ning."
