Chapter 226 He wants to escape!
"Hahaha, if I were him, I would be pissed to death."
Cheng Shengxuan didn't say anything to him, he just asked him.
"Is something wrong?"
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Chu Yuan was unhappy.
"Hey!"
"I can't come and see you if it's okay?"
"I've been busy with you these days. Please clarify one thing. I'm not your subordinate!"
Cheng Shengxuan nodded vaguely, poured him a cup of tea, and asked.
"But if nothing happens, will you show up here?"
I'm afraid you didn't go to tease Cui Xiaoshizi early, right?
"Ahem!"
Chu Yuan choked at these words and almost spit out his tea.
Seeing his gaffe, Cheng Shengxuan did not continue teasing him, but just asked again.
"So what's the news?"
When it came to business, Chu Yuan also changed his cheerful attitude and his expression became serious.
"A lot of things can be shipped out of the palace these days."
"And the place where you attacked before, there is no one there anymore."
He touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.
"So you said, Emperor Shunhe, is he..."
Cheng Shengxuan affirmed with a cold tone.
"He wants to escape!"
……
In the prison cell of the Criminal Division.
Under the leadership of the jailer, Shi Gui came outside a cell.
"Manager Shi, please."
Shi Gui gave the man a bag of silver.
"Thank you. His Majesty has decreed that our family should take the person to another place for interrogation."
Looking at the rather weighty bag of money, the jailer's eyes shone brightly, and the money could drip down three miles. He smiled very attentively, took it, and opened the cell door.
"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want. The younger one will leave first."
In the cell, Hua Ru stood up and looked at him.
"Where are you taking me?"
Shi Gui only said two words.
"Let's go."
Turn around and walk out first.
Hua Ru didn't know why, but considering the difference in force between the two, he still followed.
The two of them came directly to the palace entrance one after the other.
Xiao Chengzi had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw them coming, he quickly waved and shouted in a low voice.
"Master, I'm here!"
He jogged up to meet him and handed him a package.
"I've already taken care of the imperial guards guarding the door. Please hurry up. In half a cup of tea, the replacement will be here."
After saying that, he glanced at Hua Ru behind him and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just shook his head, sighed heavily and left.
After Xiao Chengzi left, Shi Gui handed the package to Hua Ru with a cold expression and a stiff tone.
"There are some broken silver, a few banknotes, and a change of clothes in here. Take this and go!"
Looking at the baggage in front of her, Hua Ru was stunned.
"Why do you do this?"
"Don't you hate me? After all, I used you..."
"Stop talking!"
Shi Gui interrupted her loudly.
"Go quickly!"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't even think about saving your master. The Queen has been given poisonous wine by His Majesty tonight. You can't save her alone!"
So don't do useless work and run for your life.
Hearing what he said, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Hua Ru's eyes.
Save the queen?
How could she possibly save him?
Looking down at the package in his hand again, Hua Ru looked up at Shi Gui.
"What about you? In fact, His Majesty didn't want to try me at all, right? Just let me go, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will incriminate you?"
"You underestimate my importance in His Majesty's heart. After all, I have served the Emperor for decades, and I am just a prisoner about to be executed. Your Majesty will not punish me for such a trivial matter."
Shi Gui turned his head and stopped looking at her. "Go quickly!"
Hua Ru lowered her head and said thank you, opened the door and walked out.
Looking at the door that was closed again, Shi Gui lowered his eyelids in loneliness.
No, His Majesty is most afraid of the servants around him being obedient and disobeying.
But Hua Ru's life was exchanged for his Majesty.
Thinking of this, he laughed to himself, shook his head, turned around and walked back.
Shortly after he left, the door that was originally closed was suddenly opened again, and then slowly closed...
After finishing the matter, Shi Gui quickly returned to the emperor's palace.
It was already late at night, and Emperor Shunhe not only did not rest, but was dressed neatly, with a black cloak with gold lines behind him, ready to go.
"Now that I've sent him away, just finish what you should do with peace of mind."
Hearing this, Shi Gui's eyes darkened, and then he nodded.
"I understand that I will never betray His Majesty's trust."
He was meant to serve the emperor for the rest of his life. Even if the emperor died, he would still be buried with him if there was no imperial edict for him to leave the palace to take care of himself.
Now it's just a matter of walking in front of His Majesty.
"Yeah."
Emperor Shunhe had no expression on his face, and he hummed in a neutral tone, then looked at the Qianlong Guard beside him.
"Leave two people behind, and the others will follow me out of the palace!"
In less than three days, the Cheng family's army will be able to attack the capital. Even if they close the city gates and threaten the lives of the people in the city, they will not be able to hold out for long.
Isn’t it the capital?
Isn't it the palace?
Just leave it to them for the time being. When he comes back from Dongxun and Southern Xinjiang with borrowed troops, he will definitely drive them out again!
Didn't the Cheng family unite Mu Yuan and Hui Yue?
Then I can also go to Dongxun and Nanjiang!
Emperor Shunhe gave the Qianlong Guard beside him a look, and the man placed a little blind man at Shi Gui's feet.
"In the days to come, you must carry these bamboo tubes with you at all times."
Emperor Shunhe's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
My dragon chair is not that easy to sit on!
Shi Gui always lowered his head.
"The slave obeys the order."
……
However, Cheng Jiajun arrived faster than he expected.
After hearing the news from the Qianlong Guard, Emperor Shunhe took the jade seal with him. Before leaving, he thought and thought again and again, and finally asked someone to bring the concubine Jiagui, and the group hurriedly left the palace.
He asked Qianlongwei to secretly transport the gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury a few days ago.
After all, that is his important bargaining chip for the emperor's return in the future.
snort!
I will never leave half a copper to the Cheng family!
……
At dawn, the soldiers guarding the city gate saw several carriages coming from a distance.
One of them waved them away with a bad tone.
"Stop going any further!"
"It's not time to open the city gate yet, so don't block the road here! Do you understand the rules?!"
Seeing their bullying attitude, Qianlongwei, who was driving the carriage, gripped the reins tightly and wanted to beat them up.
But the master told me not to attract attention.
A Qianlong guard walked over, holding a token. After seeing the token clearly, the defenders changed their arrogant attitude and treated him respectfully.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"Open the city gate immediately!"
"Okay, okay, little one, let's go right here."
After the captain of the city defenders sent the group off diligently, he ordered the door to be closed again.
"Boss, who are they? Why are you so polite to them?"
The squad leader slapped the man on the back of the head.
"What do you, a person who has never seen the world, know? What they have is the token of the Imperial Forbidden Army!"
As the carriage left the city gate, Concubine Jiagui looked at Emperor Shunhe next to her uneasily.
"Your Majesty, where are we going?"
Emperor Shunhe held her hand.
"Don't be afraid, my beloved, I will take you to a safe place."
"With His Majesty by my side, I have nothing to fear."
After saying that, Concubine Jiagui looked away and looked outside through the swaying curtains, with an incomprehensible look in her eyes.
