PFC Chapter 265 Trapped in the Imperial City
Chapter 265 Trapped in the Imperial City
Ugly hour -
The guard at the north gate was obviously sleepy and ignored the wind no matter how high he stood or how cold it was.
A vegetable cart drove out alone, with Chong Zhi pretending to be the vegetable seller. Ran Qianxi and Jin Mo hid carefully in the vegetable cages and dared not breathe heavily.
The guard stopped the vegetable cart in a pretentious manner, and after asking some questions, he completed the so-called inspection. It was unknown how many times Tan Qianhuan had watched her leave.
"You follow in secret."
Upon receiving the order, the painter Mochun, the winemaker Suqi, the zither player Wushi, and the housekeeper Liao? followed together, drawing four handsome figures under the night sky.
Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away, Tong Jian came up and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"Inspect the troops."
Tong Jian saluted neatly: "Yes."
"Also, we need to have multiple connections with them to fully understand all the movements in the Imperial City."
"My subordinate understands."
Ten miles outside the city
After abandoning the car, the three changed into casual clothes and walked for a while to the quietest place in the forest. Chong Zhi and Jin Mo Shu realized that someone was following them.
Chong Zhi: "Wait."
Jin Moshu's ears twitched slightly, his face looked cold under the moonlight, and he felt a throbbing sensation: "Someone is following us, at least four people."
Ran Qianxi was startled, then turned around and clasped his hands.
"I wonder where this hero came from?"
Upon hearing the sound, the four people realized that they were exposed, and appeared from the bushes behind them, from the trees, and from all directions. After landing, they saluted in unison.
"My boss."
The name, which sounds unreasonable, is actually the result of their friendship in Hangzhou.
Looking at the four extremely handsome faces, Jin Mo and Shu Chongzhi looked displeased...
Ran Qianxi: "Did Tan Qianhuan ask you to come?"
The four of them glanced at each other and were about to lie, but they didn't know that Ran Qianxi already knew everything.
Mochun raised his eyebrows and laughed evilly a few times: "Haha, why do you say that, Boss? We don't know who that is."
Ran Qianxi: "Come on, why are you pretending?"
At this time, the wine chef Suqi also came forward and asked: "What is your relationship with the man the host mentioned?"
Ran Qianxi waved her hands helplessly and didn't intend to pay any attention.
"You are still playing the pig to eat the tiger. Go back and tell him that I have someone to protect me, and tell him not to worry. I will not leave and never come back."
The three of them turned and left. The four people who stayed there exchanged glances with each other again, and then left Wu Shi behind and returned together.
Two days later, the Imperial City
Because it was early morning, the city gate was wide open and there were many people living downstairs. Seeing three figures standing under the city gate, the captain rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Second miss?"
He was a meritorious soldier who followed Ran Qiongxi in the war. Although he was just an unknown vanguard soldier on the battlefield, he was rewarded for his merits and became the captain of the capital after returning victoriously.
Wen Yuanye climbed down from the city wall and looked carefully. Although he was still several meters away, he clearly confirmed that it was Ran Qianxi.
"Go and report to the Emperor!"
The soldier saluted and said, "Yes."
A moment later, Baili Yong Yu Chaoshang, who heard the news, hurried over!
"Xi'er!"
Seeing his figure, Ran Qianxi smiled helplessly, but before she could open her mouth, she was embraced by strong arms.
"Xi'er."
The two sentences Xier said expressed his longing and excitement, without any extra words. At this moment, in his arms, Ran Qianxi seemed to feel the warmth of her previous life. This familiar feeling made her scalp tingle, as if the person standing in front of her was Baili Yong from her previous life.
"Your Majesty...you..."
Baili Yong let go of her and couldn't stop smiling.
"Xier, have you made your decision?"
Ran Qianxi paused for a moment and said, "Yes, it's done... I..."
"Okay, I swear on my life, choose me and I will never let you make the same mistake again."
He didn't even wait for the other person to speak her true feelings. He didn't want to hear them. He just wanted to hear the joy of being chosen, so he hugged her tightly again.
Chong Zhi and Jin Moshu, who saw everything, felt as if something was clamped on their throats and they had no right to speak. The person in front of them was the emperor of the dynasty. No matter if he was the young leader or the young master of a manor, they all seemed so insignificant under the absolute power.
The three of them had been in the imperial city for some time, so they settled down early. Ran Yuelian still lived in the Hanlin Academy, and the emperor's control had not ended yet.
Tan Qianhuan was overjoyed when he heard the previous words. He believed that Ran Qianxi would come back, but he had been waiting for a month and still hadn't seen her, and many apricot flowers in the garden had already bloomed.
He realized that waiting any longer was not a solution, he had to resolve everything before Ran Qianxi died for the first time.
The ceremony of crowning the queen was delayed because Ran Qianxi had repeatedly declined, so her presence made the people in the harem even more afraid, especially Xie Jun. It seemed that the endless struggle for favor from the previous life was about to come again as scheduled, and Ran Qianxi knew that she could not wait any longer.
The Queen Mother's birthday banquet has arrived. Everything on this day is the same as in her previous life, except that she should be happy and free now, except that in her previous life there is the shadow of Tan Qianhuan here.
She tried to make Baili Yong believe that she had released Ran Yuelian and relaxed the guards at Prince Shen's Mansion, Shang's Mansion, Yang's Mansion, and Zuoqiu's Mansion, but these were indeed signs of danger.
A few days later, Baili Yong seemed to understand the scam, because she called out the name in her dream again, just like in her previous life!
"Tan Qianhuan..."
He was furious that day, but he knew clearly that Ran Qianxi had Tan Qianhuan in her heart, but he still couldn't accept this unintentional call.
"We are really going to repeat the same mistakes..."
He knew what caused the rift between them in the previous life, and he also knew the reason why Ran Qianxi committed suicide after the country was destroyed and her family was ruined!
In that life, he didn't know how long it had been, he suddenly heard the sound of a long knife cutting a throat, saw a burst of blood gushing out, and the woman who loved to wear red clothes fell in white clothes in the hall of Yifeng Palace. Seeing the reactions of the people around her, they were as panicked as ants, and they cried without the look of a powerful official. Xu Yuanchao knelt on the ground and touched around randomly, but he couldn't touch Ran Qianxi. He saw a silver figure pondering for a moment and then turned away. The moment the door of the hall closed, he was only one step away from the dragon throne.
He woke up in shock, and Xier called Sun Long with a hoarse voice. He immediately realized that something was wrong. He looked around, wondering if God had given him a new life and given him a chance to defend everything again.
Now he was unwilling to believe such an outcome. He still wanted to try his best and use her closest people to make her return to him willingly, but those so-called close people were actually being saved by her little by little.
Shu Xuanhe had proposed to lure the enemy deep into the city, but he still wanted to remain perfect in Ran Qianxi's heart. Now it seems that the only way is to lure Tan Qianhuan to the imperial city alone and then wipe out the enemy completely.
About half a month later, Ran Qianxi suddenly found that she was slowly being restricted by him. She knew that Baili Yong had discovered her distracted mind. She knew that arguing was useless, but in the end, the argument turned into a cold war between the two.
