Chapter 170 Visiting the Palace at Night
Song Xi's eyes were cold and there was no surprise on his handsome face, as if he had expected such a result.
"Uncle Xiong, from tomorrow onwards, you will not be allowed to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit anymore. Just submit the memorial of disarmment and resignation to someone. After Li Shijie has dealt with Xiang Rui and the others, he will probably take action against you next."
"How dare he——!" Xiong Jianlin immediately stood up with a slap in the face, with a trace of unnoticeable panic on his angry face, "Aren't the things the emperor has done in the past few days ridiculous enough? I have already become crippled and resigned, and I want to kill everyone?!"
He actually had the answer as soon as the words came out of his mouth, but he felt a little hard to accept it.
Wu Zongmin was not that confused when he came to the throne. After being the emperor for more than ten years, he completely changed his appearance. The ambitions he had at that time were all empty talk. He promised to treat the virtuous and corporal, but it turned out to be a waste of time.
Fortunately, he has quietly sent his family away from the capital, otherwise his family would be ruined today!
"The emperor's recent decisions are indeed a bit strange. Although I have made some guesses, I cannot predict the overall situation. Tonight I want to sneak into the palace to find out the situation and investigate his cards and plans."
Song Xi thought twice and decided to strike preemptively, taking advantage of the chaotic situation to strike hard at the enemy.
All forces were waiting for the opportunity to move, and he thought it would be easy to fish in troubled waters.
"I'll go too!" Xiong Jianlin volunteered, "The Forbidden Palace in the Imperial City is heavily guarded, and Wu Zongmin is surrounded by experts. It's too risky for you to go alone. Uncle Xiong has to protect you and come back safely to rest assured."
Song Xi's heart felt warm, but she smiled and shook her head in rejection.
"Uncle Xiong, it's better to stay here and wait peacefully. I plan to act together with Han Shan and Luo Zhou. Bai Lang will also accompany me. Returning safely will definitely not be a problem."
He brought sufficient manpower to the capital this time. In addition to the secret guards of the sword group and the sword group, Hanshan and Luozhou, who were extremely powerful, also joined the team. The mythical beast White Wolf was invincible.
It's not a dragon's pond or a tiger's den.
Of course, this is limited to sneaking into the palace at night. It may not be that simple to assassinate the emperor. Even if Hunjun is killed by luck, reinforcements coming one after another will kill them in the palace.
Song Xi had no plan to kill the king, and he did not want Emperor Yuanfeng to die so happily.
His close relatives all died in despair, Wu Zongmin should also experience the feeling of betrayal and separation, and the end of the road!
Xiong Jianlin glanced at the giant white beast lying next to him, and then at Hanshan and Luozhou standing on his left and right. He couldn't help but have a look of envy on his bearded face, and most of the worries in his heart had settled down.
I don't know where the nephew's wife came from. The spiritual pets and guards around him are so different. He has already competed with Han Shan and others in martial arts in Yanzhou, and his strange skills are indeed not something ordinary people can withstand.
With their escort, Song Xi's trip will be safe and smooth. He, a clumsy person, should stay behind to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to his eldest nephew.
"Okay, Uncle Xiong will be waiting in the shop for you to come back. Sneaking into the forbidden palace at night is no small matter. You have to be careful and don't try to force yourself."
Song Xi nodded with a smile, "I will, don't worry, Uncle Xiong."
…
At three o'clock in the morning, the night falls deep.
Song Xi and others, dressed in nocturnal black clothes, secretly sneaked into the palace. The white wolf once again transformed into a young black snake and entangled itself in his hand. He used his spiritual consciousness to scan to avoid all the secret guards and forbidden troops.
The group of people came to the outside of Mingxin Hall, quietly stunned the nearby guards, followed the noise to the emperor's palace, and hid on the roof to spy on Emperor Yuanfeng.
At this time, the emperor was ready to go to bed. His old face was full of fatigue, his cloudy eyes were green and black, and he was yawning continuously, looking a little depressed.
Concubine Liu, who had just been released from confinement yesterday, was wearing cool clothes, holding a tray and standing by the bed with a sweet smile. Seeing that the emperor was becoming irritable and unhappy due to his drug addiction, she immediately stepped forward to help him take the elixir.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take the longevity pill. I'm still waiting to practice Taoism with you and enjoy the bliss of Wushan together."
Emperor Yuanfeng responded lazily, with a flash of madness and murderous intent in his lowered black eyes.
He drank the elixir with some fine wine, and within half a quarter of an hour he was back to full health.
Concubine Liu entangled her in a charming manner, her restless bare hands began to rub everywhere, her red lips opened and closed, and all kinds of obscene words and words continued to heat up the atmosphere in the room.
The energetic Emperor Yuanfeng smiled coldly, grabbed her long black hair when she was not prepared, pulled her to the ground with a strong pull, and stepped on her fragile head with his bare feet.
"Yao Yao is used to pleasing me and is completely obedient to me. There is an interesting game today, so you can play it with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, several unfamiliar eunuchs walked in and tied Liu Concubine to the dragon bed without the emperor's instructions.
Liu Bi herself had no martial arts skills, and was unable to resist even after being suppressed by a group of people. The sudden turn of events frightened her into disgrace, and she immediately begged the emperor for mercy with a face full of panic.
Emperor Yuanfeng was completely unmoved and did not change his original plan despite her crying and coaxing.
What happened next was so bloody and cruel that the snoopers on the rooftop no longer wanted to watch anymore.
Song Xi ordered Han Shan to stay here and closely monitor the emperor's movements, while he took Bai Lang and Luo Zhou to the Imperial Study Room, intending to take advantage of the lax defense to search the emperor's secret room.
They were pretty lucky, relying on Bai Lang's spiritual search to quickly find all the hidden compartments.
Song Xi and Luo Zhou quickly checked each one to see if they could find any special clues.
After a quarter of an hour of hard searching, Song Xi finally found some secret documents and tokens. There was also a proposed imperial edict hidden in the treasure box in the secret room. When he opened it, he understood the emperor's thoughts.
"I see……"
Song Xi deduced the emperor's plan based on these scattered objects, and felt a sense of clarity in his heart.
Wu Zongmin was so greedy for power that everyone thought he would not appoint a prince early. The rampant behavior of the He and Zheng families finally angered Sheng Yan, otherwise the foolish emperor would not have made such a desperate decision.
Song Xi's deep black eyes glanced at the name on the imperial edict, and the corner of Song Xi's mouth curved into a sarcastic arc.
"You're lucky kid. You can always make money by picking up leaks. I wonder if you have the destiny of a true dragon and can comply with the emperor's heart and become the co-leader of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
After finding out the emperor's plan and wishes, the two of them returned everything to their original places. Today's trip was just for exploration, and they were not prepared to interfere in other things.
The three people and one wolf quickly left the palace and ran towards Mipu easily into the night.
Passing by an ordinary house on the way, Song Xi suddenly stopped with a gloomy face, turned over the wall without saying a word, and headed towards the clear goal.
