As midnight approached, the north wind whistled in everyone's hearts.

On this night, some people can sleep soundly and ignore the strife that is happening in the outside world. Some people watch carefully and follow the maximum benefit from it. Some people are in the cold wind, waiting for fate to come.

At night in the Qi Nian Palace, the lights are bright, and many people can't sleep. Those subordinates who accompanied Yingzheng were even more frightened, not knowing what Yingzheng was going to do, whether the butcher's knife would cut their heads tomorrow.

Xianyang was in a mess, and news came from all over the house, many mansions were plundered, and many people died. There are even some subordinate generals who also follow Chang Yu's private soldiers and secretly do some robbery. Everyone tacitly knows that there is no dirty thing in any house, so it's just a matter of not mentioning it.

But the one in the Qi Nian Palace did not make any statement on this matter. They all knew that Zhong Dian's intelligence network should be easy to find out. As for what punishment will be received, we have to wait for Yingzheng to decide, anyway, the Qi Nian Palace has been guarded by the garrison and is so dense that not even a fly can fly out.

To put it nicely, it is for everyone's safety; To put it mildly, I am still afraid that some people will escape.

Judging from the situation tonight, Xianyang is stained with blood everywhere, and Yingzheng does not have complete control over it. The original plan has repeatedly been variable, at least the two queen mothers in the Qin Palace are not the people who Ying Zheng can decide.

Mrs. Huayang lit the beacon fire at will, and Xia Ji walked around the palace at will, and no one dared to care. Even if Yingzheng goes back now, he can't influence the decision of those two. As Zhongli said, she is not Xia Ji's opponent yet, she is the pinnacle of the best powerhouse, there is only one chance to sneak attack, and if she wants to assassinate such a master again, she can only think long and reformulate a detailed assassination plan.

Ying Zheng could only wait for further news to arrive, and countless secret agents were sent out. And Zhao Ji was also anxiously watching, and even secretly summoned the ghost family, she didn't care how many people died in the palace, but Lin Ye, who was pregnant, couldn't stand any harm.

No one knew that the two Queen Mothers had secretly discussed, nor did they know what they wanted to do. But one thing is certain, that is, they will act soon, and they will take advantage of Yingzheng's absence to solve those obstacles. As long as it is a fait accompli, after Yingzheng returns to Xianyang, there is no way to take them.

Chang Yu, who was outside Xianyang City, couldn't see how the situation was developing, but he only understood one thing. No matter what happens in the Qin Palace, even if everyone dies, he will try to live until the day when Yingzheng returns. His life can only die at the hands of Ying Zheng, for the sake of those dead brothers, he can't implicate many family members, let alone the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji.

In the underground secret room of the Zhong Palace, Lin Ye and Hu Ji sat on the warm bed, surrounded by many concubines of Yingzheng. In order to allow these women to raise their babies with peace of mind, the Ice Girl moved most of the ice here in distress, so that so many people could live there.

The Ice Maiden frowned, and said in distress: "There are too many people coming, I can say in advance, if that old woman rushes in, I can only escape with Ye Zi and Orchid." If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself to follow behind, and whether you can catch up with the speed depends only on everyone's luck. ”

Hu Ji frowned and said, "What does my sister mean, Empress Dowager Xia Ji will attack Zhong Dian?" ”

The Ice Girl said affirmatively, "I don't understand those curved paths, but I can sense the danger with the smell of a peak martial artist. Xia Ji, the old woman, chose to go out when Xianyang would be chaotic, indicating that she was not injured at all, and everything was disguised for everyone to see. ”

"And the current situation, Zhongli, Xuefanlou and other women have accompanied Gongzi to Yongcheng, the Qin Palace is empty, and we don't have many top masters. The pinnacle of the best powerhouse, it's not something we can deal with, so many masters and group attacks in the past didn't hit her hard, not to mention only the two of Mindai and me? She had been assassinated by Zhongli, and Toshiyo had threatened her, so how could she not take revenge? ”

Lin Ye smiled bitterly: "If Grandma Xia Ji wants to attack the Zhong Palace, she will definitely come to kill me, and she will not have any killing thoughts against your sisters." All along, I've been thinking about a question, who arranged for me to be assassinated by Chiron that time? I have doubted many people, and I originally deduced that there was only that one, but now that I think about it, it should be one of the two queen mothers. ”

"There is no way, I have traveled widely, I know too many secrets in the palace, and some people must be willing to get rid of me, because only the dead can keep secrets. While the eldest brother and sister Zhongli are not there, it is a good time, and they will definitely not let it go. ”

Hu Ji continued: "Then taking advantage of the chaos in the palace, I said to the outside world that I was killed by Chang Yu's soldiers." Everyone is dead, there is no proof of death, even if the eldest brother comes back, there is no way to find out. Even if you know who is the hand, it is impossible to do something that violates filial piety. ”

"But there is one thing that is very confusing, the two queen mothers may have hidden masters around them, but if they want to attack the Zhong Palace, or even attack the secret room, only the Empress Dowager Xia Ji has this strength. But why did Empress Dowager Xia Ji do such a thing? Assuming that she really kills Yezi, not only will she not benefit at all, but she will also be resented by her eldest brother, and she will definitely count this account on Beigong's head in the future. ”

"There may be many fights between Beigong and Zhongdian, but everyone is for Daqin, and it is impossible to do anything to hurt the eldest brother. Thinking about it, Empress Dowager Xia Ji had no reason to kill Yezi. As for what Mrs. Huayang thinks, I don't know very well. These two queen mothers, one hides from people every day, and the other is acting every day, their thoughts are really hard to guess. ”

No matter how these women in the Zhong Hall guessed, they couldn't guess that the two Queen Mothers would attack the Zhong Hall in order to kill Lin Ye. But the Ice Girl was sure that Xia Ji would come, and she was ready to run away with Lin Ye and Hu Ji.

In fact, Xia Ji didn't want to kill Lin Ye at all, and on the way to the Zhong Palace, she thought about whether it was right to do so.

Those rebels in the palace have been quickly cleared by the joint attack of Zhongdian, Beigong, and Huayang Palace, and even Zuo Ge was captured by the Seven Swordsmen, and then asked what to do, and was killed.

There were sporadic fighting sounds in the distance, and the stupid Chang Yu actually sent such a bandit into the Qin Palace, and there was no discipline at all. They only saw the wealth of the Qin Palace, and when they entered the palace, they scattered to loot, which was simpler than the original Kailong Rebellion, and it was easier to clean up.

For those soldiers, Mrs. Huayang, Xia Ji, and Min Dai all gave one word: 'kill'. Daring to attack the Qin Palace is to despise them, not to mention that the Deep Palace has too many secrets.

Tonight's cold wind is blowing, and the sleeves of her clothes are swinging with the wind, and no amount of chill can affect Xia Ji's determination. She knew that Lin Ye was very important to Yingzheng, and she also knew that Zhao Ji had an agreement with her that if she wanted to kill Lin Ye tonight, it would ruin the sweet period between Beigong and Ganquan Palace.

But Xia Ji had to come again, because the tooth brigade was poisoned, and it was the same poison as Yingzi Chu back then. It turned out that Ying Zichu's death was also designed by Mrs. Huayang, and the people of Beigong were used to make Ying Zheng hate, but she was watching the jokes. Xia Ji has a deep sense of powerlessness, she is not afraid of anything in martial arts, but when it comes to intrigues, several Xia Ji are not Mrs. Huayang's opponents.

The antidote is only available to Mrs. Huayang, and she can't tell outsiders about it, because it will undermine the stability of the two clans. If Ying Zheng knew that it was Ying Zichu who was harmed by Mrs. Huayang, God knows what bad things this young king would do, the Mi clan is too important to Daqin, and destroying the Mi clan is to shake the foundation of Daqin.

"The foundation of the country, a few women died, and they were resented by Zheng'er and Zhao Ji, it doesn't matter, I'm old anyway."

Natsuhime could only comfort herself like this in her heart.

The tooth brigade can't die, if she dies again, it is estimated that Gong Ming will return to Zhongnan Mountain immediately. The people in the outer palace only obey Chenxi's orders, and the tooth brigade is in the inner palace, and Gong Ming is also in love with her. Thinking of Gong Ming, Xia Ji could only sigh in her heart, this obedient child was really pitiful. The two women who were close to him, Qianxi and Tooth Brigade, one died, the other was poisoned, and they died shortly, and the kindness of the year was really paid off.

Natsuki blamed herself deeply for not doing anything for them. So this time, she can't let the tooth brigade die, and only by killing Lin Ye can she exchange for an antidote.

She knew that in addition to Min Dai, Zhong Dian also hid other masters, Ying Zheng went to perform the crown salute, and Zhong Li could not make the nest so empty. But these are not problems for Xia Ji, she only kills Lin Ye alone, and the others will not be entangled at all.

When Xia Ji's figure appeared in the Zhong Palace, Min Dai walked slowly, bowed lightly, and asked, "The Queen Mother is here tonight, for some reason?" ”

Xia Ji asked, "Is Lin Ye girl in the Zhong Palace?" ”

Min Dai didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Ye Zi is in the Zhong Palace, the Queen Mother wants to see her, why come over in person?" ”

At the same time, he said happily: "It turns out that the Queen Mother really did not suffer any major injuries, so it is good, fortunately in the misfortune, it can be regarded as not destroying the harmony between the Zhong Hall and the North Palace." ”

Xia Ji sighed: "Xiaomin, maybe after tonight, you will hate grandma to death." But I'll tell you something, no matter what I do, it's a decision I made privately, and it has nothing to do with Beigong. ”

Toshiyo heard that Xia Ji had something to say, and she was not a person who beat around the bush, so she asked directly: "What is the Queen Mother looking for in Yezi?" ”

Xia Ji said: "I'm here to kill her." ”

Toshiyo frowned and said, "If you want to kill my family's leaves, what did she do wrong?" Why don't I know at all? ”

Natsuki sighed again, "She didn't do anything wrong, she just knew too many secrets." Xiao Min, if she dies alone, I Daqin can be stable, otherwise there will be a big disaster. ”

Min Dai finally saw it, Xia Ji's heart to kill Lin Ye was very resolute, and she said: "The rules of the harem, women are not allowed to interfere in politics, including the three queen mothers, national affairs are what men should do, we just need to assist the king with all our hearts." ”

"You can't kill Yezi, she is very important to the king, not to mention that she is pregnant. If the Queen Mother wants to kill her, it will be one corpse and two lives, can the Queen Mother withstand the wrath of the king? If Ye Zi is really dead, I can't explain to the king, the king will be angry, and the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji will be even more crazy. ”

"If there is anything, we can negotiate slowly, if Ye Zi collides with the Queen Mother and makes you unhappy, when the king returns to Xianyang, we will go to the purple bamboo forest to accompany the wine and apologize. It's all a family, you can't do things perfectly, and if you really want to kill Hako, you can only walk over Toshiyo's corpse. ”

Natsuki looked up to the sky and sighed, no longer speaking. She also understands the truths that Min Dai said, and she also knows Min Dai's difficulties. But the specific details, especially the secret discussion with Mrs. Huayang, could not be mentioned to anyone.

The tooth brigade was deeply poisoned and her life was in danger, and she had no time to wait.

Stretching out a palm, Toshiyo stepped back and raised his palm to meet it, but he pounced, and Natsuhime's figure had already rushed quickly towards the underground secret room......
