Chapter 434: Uneasy
But in the final analysis, this really has nothing to do with the Eastern Palace. Hanguli could only sigh helplessly, then gently stroked her son's head and comforted him: "My child, although Aikeban is so reckless and lawless now, he will eventually receive the punishment he deserves. Even if no one can punish him for the time being, God is watching from above. One day, your grandfather and grandmother will surely know the crimes he has committed!"
At this time, in the royal palace, a gorgeous palace was filled with a faint scent of incense. The sunlight shone through the exquisite screen window and sprinkled on a soft couch.
I saw a beautiful concubine wearing a light silk dress, lying lazily on the couch. Her long black hair fell casually on her shoulders, making her skin look smooth and her face rosy.
At this moment, she was gently closing her eyes, like a sleeping fairy, enjoying this rare and pleasant time to the fullest.
Her graceful back was reflected on the screen window, like a beautiful painting. At this moment, a light sound of footsteps broke the silence.
A palace maid hurriedly walked into the hall. When she came to the concubine's side, she bowed respectfully, then lowered her head slightly, carefully leaned close to the concubine's ear, and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that they plan to take action in three days!"
Hearing this, the concubine, who had originally closed her eyes, slowly opened them. Her beautiful eyes were as clear and moving as autumn water, flashing with a barely perceptible light.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, and she responded softly: "Well, that's very good. However, in order to ensure that this matter can go wrong, we will help them secretly."
The maid nodded and said, "Yes, your majesty, rest assured. I will arrange it right away." After that, she bowed to the concubine again, turned around and walked out of the palace with brisk steps, leaving the concubine still lying on the couch, gazing thoughtfully at the blue sky outside the window...
In the gloomy and solemn royal mausoleum, Keremu and his guards had just enjoyed a simple dinner. After the meal, Keremu looked at Baixi with a serious expression and solemnly instructed:
"After everyone finishes their patrol, remember to have everyone pack up their belongings. We will have one last patrol early tomorrow morning, and then we will set off back to the palace immediately!"
After hearing this, Bai Xi responded respectfully, "Yes!" Then he turned around and quickly walked out of the room to convey the order.
Keremu walked slowly to the door, looking up at the stars twinkling faintly in the night sky. At this moment, he was filled with emotion. Because the one-month deadline for guarding the mausoleum of the empress dowager had finally come to an end, he would be able to return to the palace tomorrow.
Moreover, more than a dozen years have passed since he and Hanguli got married. During this long period of time, the couple has always been inseparable and has always supported each other. They have never been separated for a month like this time.
Thinking of this, Keremu couldn't help but feel a deep longing for his wife. Although he was in this cold and lonely royal mausoleum, as long as he thought of his gentle and virtuous wife in the East Palace, he would feel a little warmth and comfort in his heart.
After Bai Xi arranged the tasks and routes of the patrolling guards in an orderly manner, he did not stop there. He thought about it carefully and felt that relying solely on these visible sentinels might not be safe enough.
So he carefully selected several men who were agile, quick-witted and good at hiding their tracks, and deployed them in some inconspicuous corners around the residence to serve as secret sentries.
In this way, the movements in the area can be monitored from all angles to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
After everything was arranged, Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but he still did not dare to slack off. Then, he walked towards the room where Bayer lived with steady and light steps.
When he came to the tightly closed door, he stopped and listened for a while. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he reached out and knocked on the door gently, and asked softly, "Bail, are you asleep?"
At this moment, Bayer was busy packing her bag in the house. It turned out that the Crown Prince had promised her that she didn't need to rush back to the palace after returning to the capital, and could go home to accompany her husband for a few days before returning to the palace.
At the thought of soon reuniting with his long-lost lover, Bayer's heart was filled with joy and anticipation, and his hands moved faster and faster.
At this moment, a slight knock on the door reached her ears. Upon hearing the sound, Bayer immediately put down the things he was sorting and walked quickly to the door.
She reached out and grasped the door handle, slowly opened the door, and looked up, only to see Bai Xi standing quietly at the door.
Through the half-open door, Bai Xi caught a glimpse of the bundle that had not yet been packed, so he asked, "How is the packing going?"
Bayer replied with a smile, "It's almost done!" Then she stepped aside and invited Baixi to come in and talk.
Bai Xi did not step into the house. He stood quietly at the door, his figure as straight as a pine tree, and said solemnly: "I will just say a few words and then leave."
Bayer nodded and responded respectfully, "Brother-in-law, do you have any other instructions?"
Bai Xi took a deep breath, stared at Bayer firmly, and said quickly but clearly: "Wait a minute, when you have packed up, take your bag and sneak out of the back door carefully while it is dark. Remember not to be noticed by anyone!"
Bayer was puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"
Bai Xi frowned slightly and explained in a low voice: "After you leave here, don't go far away. You need to find a place with higher terrain to hide and prepare a fast horse. If you notice anything unusual, imitate the crow's cry, but be careful, the cry must be three long and two short. Once the signal is transmitted, you must immediately ride back to the capital and seek reinforcements to rescue you as soon as possible!"
Hearing his brother-in-law's serious and unquestionable words, Bayer's face turned pale instantly, and his originally relaxed mood suddenly became heavy.
She really couldn't understand why her brother-in-law suddenly made such an unusual arrangement on the last night since the Queen Mother passed away and was buried in the royal mausoleum. They had been guarding the royal mausoleum for a whole month, and everything had been peaceful and smooth.
So, she asked again with a nervous look: "Brother-in-law, are you saying that someone is trying to harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? But if that's the case, why don't we send someone to call for reinforcements now?"
Bai Xi sighed softly, shook his head helplessly, and slowly said, "There is nothing special. I just don't know why I have been feeling uneasy all day, and there is always a vague worry lingering in my heart. I am worried that some people will take advantage of this opportunity to deliberately plan to prevent the prince from returning to the palace smoothly. Therefore, out of caution, it is better to take some precautions in advance."
