Empress

Chapter 18 Draft Disaster

Not long after, there was a muffled sound of "bang" outside.

Yu An peeped through the crack of the door, opened the door immediately, and rushed out.

The two guards guarding the gate fell to the ground, and the wine jug at their feet was tilted here and there, flowing everywhere along the mouth of the bottle.

Yu'an clasped the door with both hands and looked out, seeing no one around, he supported the fainted guards with both hands, and dragged them into Chenghuan Palace one after the other.

The clothes of the guards were stripped off and exchanged with the two. One of the guards was dragged onto the bed and covered his face with a quilt, pretending to be sleeping, while the other was hidden behind the door of the inner room.

"Master, let's go!"

Yu An raised his hand and gestured to help Rong Cheng up from the bed. He was hot all over, and the medicine hadn't worn off yet, and his limbs were weak, so he could only lean on Yu An and reluctantly get out of bed.

The two changed into the clothes of the guards, opened the door to look around, and carefully left Chenghuan Palace.

Yu'an led the way, Rong Cheng followed behind, and the two walked towards the imperial garden.

Along the way, people came and went, and some palace officials walked towards them. They immediately lowered their heads and walked to avoid being recognized.

Cheng Huan Palace is quite a distance away from the Imperial Garden, and the two walked on thin ice, taking every step very cautiously.

Just when they were about to arrive at the Imperial Garden, there was a palanquin coming towards them in front of them, Rong Cheng was startled, and hurriedly pulled Yu An aside and knelt down.

The palace sedan passed in front of the two without even stopping for a moment.

Rong Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up cautiously, and just as he was pulling Yu An to leave, a female voice sounded like a silver bell, "Wait a minute."

The backs of the two froze.

The palace sedan stopped, and the curtain was lifted from the inside, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, with raised Danfeng eyes revealing a bit of meanness, "Kneel down."

Rong Cheng was afraid of showing his clues, so he hurriedly pulled Yu An to kneel down again, the two of them didn't even dare to lift their heads, and their breathing became heavy.

Rong Cheng's illness is still not fully recovered, and after taking the medicine given by Pan Tai, he couldn't even squat stably, his body was wobbly, and he managed to hold on to the ground so that he didn't fall.

Tang Guifei condescendingly looked at the swaying guards in front of her, and said with displeasure, "You can't even do a salute. Could it be that you haven't even learned the rules?"

Today she was dressed up to see the emperor, but unexpectedly, she was blown away. Hearing that the emperor went to Cheng Huan Palace to find that lowly trickster, she was already holding back her stomach, but seeing these two guards saluting and perfunctory, she couldn't believe it. Anger suddenly welled up in my heart.

Now even a slave dares to push his nose to his face, it is really abominable.

Rong Cheng lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "The servant deserves to die, I hope the empress will forgive me."

Concubine Tang Gui looked at Yu An who was beside Rong Cheng, "Why don't you speak?"

Yu An raised his head subconsciously, but was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by Rong Cheng, and when he was about to reveal his face, he lowered his head again, Rong Cheng explained: "Mother, he is dumb and can't speak."

"Oh? There are also dumb guards?" Concubine Tang felt novel, "Raise your face, and I will take a look."

Yu An's palms were covered with cold sweat, he quietly asked Rong Cheng for help, not knowing what to do.

Although Yu An entered the palace later, not many people have seen him, and it is hard to guarantee that the people around Tang Guifei have not seen him.

Seeing that Yu An was hesitant to raise his head, Tang Guifei emphasized her tone, "I ask you to raise your head."

Rong Cheng suddenly hit Yu An's head on the ground, kowtowed and said: "He was born really ugly, he threatened the empress, and I hope that the empress will forgive me."

Yu'an knew it in his heart, and kowtowed on his own initiative, the only sound was the sound of his head hitting the ground.

Concubine Tang Gui frowned, suddenly felt that she had lost the fun, and her thoughts of embarrassment were also dispersed. She flicked the armor on her hand, and said coldly: "Forget it, just kneel here for less than an hour. Don't get up."

Having said that, he left.

The palace sedan chair disappeared at the turning point at the end, Rong Cheng let out a long breath, turned to look at Yu An beside him, the two stood up tacitly, as if nothing had happened, they quickened their pace and came to the imperial garden .

There was no one in the imperial garden. They walked through the path next to the gazebo and came to a wall that had been in disrepair for a long time. Yu'an carefully looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he stretched out his hand and pushed aside the grass half a person's height in front of him, revealing a dog hole.

The dog hole is not big, but it is enough for the thin and thin stature of the two.

Yu'an made a gesture, indicating that he would go out to check the situation first, and nodded when he saw Rong Cheng, he lay down on the ground, and skilfully slipped through the dog hole.

After a while, there was the sound of knocking bricks on the other side of the wall.

This is the secret signal that the two of them have decided in advance. As long as Yu An passes and finds nothing wrong, he will tap twice on the wall brick.

It was the first time for Rong Cheng to go through a dog hole, he didn't care about the shame, he got into the dog hole and crawled through it easily.

The two arrived at Shenwumen smoothly.

There is also a dog hole in the wall next to the turret, which is covered by thick withered grass. Because it is too hidden, even the old people in the palace don't know it. It was accidentally discovered by Yu An when he was wandering that day.

There were guards in the distance, and the two moved carefully against the wall, and quickly ran into the turret when they were not paying attention.

Yu An burrowed into the grass and searched for a while before finding the dog hole. He paid attention to the movement around him, and gestured to Rong Rong: "Master, you go out first this time."

As soon as he goes out, he leaves the palace, if there is any accident inside, Yu An can stop it for a while.

Rong Cheng didn't know Yu'an's mind, his head was a little dizzy, he nodded in a daze, and got into the dog hole.

In an instant, a ray of light shot into his eyes, the sun was warm, and the sky above his head was no longer square.

Rong Cheng's heart was beating so fast that he didn't even notice that he sped up his hands and feet and crawled towards the long-lost light.

As long as you leave the palace, the bad days are completely over.

It seemed that after an incomparably long time, Rong Cheng finally crawled out of the dog hole, with the cool breeze blowing against his face, his eyes were bright, full of joy and anticipation.

Rong Cheng got out of the dog hole, patted the dust off his body, and hurriedly got up. Just when he was standing by the wall and was about to give An a countersignal, a sharp blade fell across his neck.

.........

Guan Hongfeng leaned lazily on the throne, looking at the beautiful girls below, he was not interested, and when he saw the good looks, he asked Eunuch Yang to put down the sign and keep it.

The queen smiled, "It seems that the harem will have a lot of younger sisters."

Guan Hongfeng was unmoved, since they were just decorations anyway, so it was natural to choose something more attractive.

At this time, the chief eunuch came to the queen's ear in a hurry, bent down and said something.

The queen's face was startled, "Is this really the case?"

The eunuch bit the bullet and nodded.

Seeing the queen's perplexed face, Guan Hongfeng squinted and asked, "What's wrong?"

The queen turned her head, hesitated to speak, and after a while, she leaned into Guan Hongfeng's ear, and whispered hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Long Ji and his servants sneaked out of the palace, and were caught by the guards."

Guan Hongfeng's face became extremely gloomy for an instant.
