Chapter 207 House arrest in disguise
Nanny Jiang came to Zuo Xiang's mansion in a carriage from the palace. After the guard went in to report, Li Xing personally came to the gate of Zuo Xiang's mansion to greet her, but she did not enter Zuo Xiang's mansion because of an urgent matter, and her future intentions were simple. After talking with Li Xing, Li Xing was invited into the carriage.

The carriage didn't go towards the palace, but headed towards the Prince Chen's Mansion, because Madam Jiang had to obey Concubine Xian's order to invite Uncle Li, the housekeeper of the Prince Chen's Mansion, into the palace together.

"Mother Jiang, why did the emperor faint suddenly? Wasn't the emperor still well when he went to court in the morning?" Sitting in the carriage, Li Xing asked solemnly, who was sitting in the same carriage with him, Mother Jiang.

After hearing Li Xing's words, Mother Jiang explained to Li Xing clearly about the emperor's coma and what happened afterwards. Li Xing's face became more and more serious when he heard it, and he felt that the emperor was poisoned. Being in a coma is definitely not easy!
"If Eunuch Lin was really the one who poisoned, then he couldn't have poisoned the emperor for no reason, maybe he was under the influence of others." Li Xing sorted out the matter and expressed his doubts and opinions.

Mother Jiang was puzzled: "But now Eunuch Lin has committed suicide in fear of crime, and we haven't found any other clues!"

Li Xing had a cold look in his eyes, "If he was really instigated by others, then his death would not be so simple! He has served the emperor for so many years, and he never poisoned him sooner or later, but at this time, Prince Chen Not here, the First Prince, the Empress, and the right minister have also been imprisoned one after another, and now that the Emperor is in a coma and no one is in power, who will be the ultimate beneficiary?"

Mother Jiang thought that Li Xing was suspicious of Concubine Xian, so she frowned, and said to him in a somewhat cold tone, "Does Prime Minister Zuo mean that my concubine's murderous hands?"

As soon as Li Xing heard her words, he knew that Madam Jiang had misunderstood him, so he quickly clarified, "That's not what Li meant, it's just Madam Jiang, think about it, after the emperor is in a coma, there will definitely be someone who treats him to take charge of the government. , and the harem cannot be in power. This is an iron rule that our Shengyuan Dynasty has had since the founding of the country. There are four princes in the emperor. Except for King Chen, the eldest prince is not here, so there are only two princes and four princes left, Li said. At this point, Mother Jiang should understand!"

Mother Jiang heard Li Xing's words, and suddenly felt a chill in her body. Thinking about what Prime Minister Zuo said, the fourth prince was young, so the final beneficiary of the emperor's coma was not the second prince?If it was really the second prince, wouldn't it be as simple as just letting the emperor fall into a coma and then take over the throne for the emperor?
In the absence of the Prince Chen, the Eldest Prince was reduced to a prisoner, so he chose to attack the Emperor at this time... Nanny Jiang, who was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people in the harem, suddenly thought of an extremely terrifying answer.

She raised her head in horror, her face turned pale: "Li Zuoxiang, I remember that the second prince was still in Chengde Palace when I left the palace just now!"

Thinking of Concubine Xian staying in the Chengde Palace to serve the Emperor and the ambitious Second Prince in the same hall, Mother Jiang felt chills from head to toe.If it is true what Li Zuoxiang said, the second prince wanted to be in power with bad intentions, then he is not just poisoning the emperor?
When Li Xing saw Mother Jiang's pale face, he also felt very bad in his heart, thinking that he had the secret talisman that Situ Minglie gave him when he returned to the door that time, which could mobilize the hidden guards under Situ Minglie's hands, He hurriedly said to Mother Jiang: "Mother Jiang, the matter is very urgent now, you go to Prince Chen's Mansion to tell the situation of Emperor Li Shuhuang and the imperial concubine, and ask him to send someone to find Prince Chen and the others quickly, so as to stop what happened in the capital. Tell Chen Wang about the matter, I will go to someone first, then we will go to the Hou Mansion to find Master Xu, and we will meet at the Hou Mansion by the way!"

When Mammy Jiang heard Li Xing's arrangement, she knew that he must have something to do, she nodded quickly, opened the curtain and asked the driver to stop the carriage, stopped the carriage and put Li Xing down.

After Li Xing got off the carriage, he found that he was in the street next to the flower street from Yixin Pavilion, so he didn't go to hire a carriage, and strode directly towards Yixin Pavilion.

And Mammy Jiang didn't delay any longer, and let the coachman drive straight to Prince Chen's mansion at full speed.

After walking for about a stick of incense, Li arrived at the Flower Street where Yixin Pavilion was located. At this time, the door of Yixin Pavilion was closed because it was not yet time to open the door to welcome guests at night.

Walking to the gate, Li knocked vigorously on the door three times, and a rough male voice came from inside. The male voice was very impatient, but he opened the door anyway, only to see a man in a guard uniform standing Beside the door, seeing Li Xing standing outside the door, he said impatiently: "Master, it's not yet time for our Yixin Pavilion to open, why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing that the guard directly regarded him as a guest who came to Yixin Pavilion for entertainment, Li Xing was not happy, but he didn't bother with him. He said to the guard in a deep voice: "Brother, Li has something urgent to see The top card of your Yixin Pavilion, can you help Li Mou in and let me know?"

The guard saw that Li Xing insisted on seeing their top card in Yixin Pavilion after hearing what he said, and said aggressively: "It's not time yet, you can't hear me, can you?" After finishing speaking , I have to start to drive Li Xing.

Li Xing was pushed and shoved by him, and he could barely stand his body, and his face didn't have a good expression, and he showed his official authority. With his face ashen, he said to the guard in a cold voice: "Will you You are disrespectful to me, Li, and be careful that I will make you unable to eat!"

The guard was a fine person, and when he saw Li Xing standing there in a fine attire, he knew that he must be either rich or noble, and coupled with Li Xing's expression at the moment, he also cringed a little.

He didn't push Li Xing any more, but with a hard face, he yelled at Li Xing impatiently: "Okay, okay, come in first, I'll call you right now, it's really troublesome!" After finishing speaking, he turned around Go inside.

Li Xing snorted and walked in after him.

After entering, Li Xing did not listen to the guard and wait in the lobby of Yixin Pavilion, but followed the guard directly to the backyard where Ni Ji lived.

When the guard saw Li Xing coming, he thought he was impatient, so he didn't say anything, but glared at him, and cursed in his heart: Old pervert!
Soon the two came to the room where Niji lived in the backyard, the guard knocked on the door of Niji's room, and soon there were footsteps coming from the room, and the door was quickly opened .

"It's time for my young lady to rest, Dasha, why are you bothering me?" Ling'er's cold face appeared in front of the guard and Li Xing, looking at the guard and said in a cold voice.

Hearing Ling'er's questioning, the guard called Dasha hurriedly pointed at Li Xing and Ling'er beside him with a fawning smile, "I didn't mean to disturb Miss's rest, it's just that this person surnamed Li insisted on asking me to take her with me. He came to look for Miss, and I had no choice but to bring him!" After speaking, he gave Li Xing a hard look, as if he was blaming Li Xing for causing him to be scolded by Ling'er, but Li Xing didn't take it seriously. His eyes are set in eyes.

When Li Xing saw Ling'er, he guessed from Dasha and her words that she must be the number one maid called Niji that Situ Minglie said, so he cupped his hands and said to Ling'er: "Miss Ling'er, Li has something urgent I want to find your lady, can you help Li go in and talk to your lady?"

Ling'er looked at Li Xing's face that was somewhat similar to the Li Feiran she had seen last time, and then thought of his surname, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you Li Zuoxiang?"

Li Xing nodded, "It's Li."

Ling'er didn't say much when she heard the words, she turned around and walked into the room.

The big fool didn't go away. When he heard Linger say that Li Xing was Li Zuoxiang just now, thinking of his disrespect just now, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He hurriedly apologized to Li Xing politely: "Li Zuoxiang, Xiao Those who have eyes but do not know Mount Tai have offended me just now, and I hope Lord Zuo Xiang will not blame the young one!"

Li Xing glanced at him absent-mindedly, waved his hand at him and said: "Go down, just don't tell others the truth about being here, if Li gets a little bit of wind, Li will definitely not let you go you!"

After listening to Li Xing's words, the big fool saw that Li Xing didn't intend to blame him, so he hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then retreated.

After a while, Ling'er who had entered inside came out again, she gave Li Xingfu a blessing, and said: "Miss is already waiting for Li Xiang in the room, please come in, Li Xiang."

Li Xing nodded, and followed Ling'er into the room without saying a word.

In the hall of the room, Niji was sitting on a chair in a red dress. Seeing a man coming in behind Ling'er, she knew that he must be the Li Zuoxiang that Ling'er had just mentioned, so she stood up from the chair and gave the Li Xing saluted.

"Li Zuoxiang is here, what's the important thing?" Ni Ji asked with a smile on her alluring face.

Li Xing didn't intend to have a long talk with Ni Ji, and directly placed the dark talisman that Situ Minglie gave him from his sleeve in front of Ni Ji, and told Ni Ji why he came.

After hearing Li Xing's words, Niji's face changed greatly, but she quickly calmed down, "If it is true what Li Zuoxiang said, then the imperial concubine and the emperor must be in trouble now, and I will send a signal to summon the secret camp. Dark guard, enter the palace to save the emperor and the empress. Please also ask Li Zuoxiang to go to the Hou Mansion to find General Xu Rong and let him lead the army to enter the palace with Li Zuoxiang to rescue the emperor."

Niji is a member of Situ Minglie, second in command to Mingtian and the others. She is the secret guard arranged by Situ Minglie to collect information in Yixin Pavilion, and also the link to call the dark camp.

And Li Xing came to her because Situ Minglie had told Li Xing that if there was anything that Li Xing couldn't solve, or if there was any trouble in the capital, he would come to Yixin Pavilion when he handed the dark talisman to Li Xing before leaving for the Shencang Dynasty. Find Niji and ask her to bring people from the dark camp to help.

After listening to Niji's arrangement, Li Xing did not stay in Yixin Pavilion any longer. He walked out of Yixin Pavilion and hired a carriage to drive to Xu Rong's Marquis Mansion.

After Li Xing, Ni Ji sent out a signal flare similar to fireworks into the sky, and as the signal flare exploded in the sky with half a stick of incense, a large number of people in black appeared in the backyard of Yixin Pavilion. A well-dressed guard.

Ni Ji explained the purpose of asking them to come here, and then went into the room and changed into a tight red dress with Ling'er who also changed into a convenient dress, and went to the palace with the men in black.

Nanny Jiang has also arrived at the Prince Chen's Mansion and told Uncle Li the ins and outs of the matter. After hearing this, Uncle Li wrote a letter without hesitation, and then called one of his confidant guards to hand the letter to him, and let him Hurry up and hand it over to Situ Minglie.

Afterwards, Uncle Li and Nanny Jiang got into the carriage together and went to the Hou's Mansion.

Hou Mansion, in Xu Rongde's study.

"What did you say, the emperor has been poisoned?" In the silent study room, a voice mixed with inconceivable Xu Rong suddenly came out.

"That's right, the emperor was indeed poisoned and passed out." Li Xing stood behind Xu Rong's desk, and when he heard Xu Rong's question, he hurriedly nodded in response.

"If what you just said is true, then the matter of the emperor being poisoned and comatose must not be that simple. I will use my army to enter the palace to rescue the emperor now!" Xu Rong quickly stood up from his seat with a gloomy face. Get up and walk out of the study.

Li Xing followed behind him and walked out with him, and went to wait in the lobby of the Hou Mansion.

After Xu Rong returned to the courtyard, he took out the soldier talisman entrusted to him by Emperor Yuan from the brocade box from his secret room, and then put on the armor he would only wear when going out. After everything was properly dressed, he went out Out of the courtyard to the lobby.

Nanny Jiang and Uncle Li who came later in the lobby had already arrived. When the three of them saw Xu Rong walking out in a suit of armor, their hearts became solemn.

Xu Jiaya came back from playing with Situ Junxi in Zuo Xiangfu all afternoon and saw Li Xing and the others and Xu Rong in armor. She couldn't hide her surprise on her face, "Father, are you going to an expedition?" After asking She also felt that something was wrong, because she hadn't heard any news about the war recently, and she hadn't heard the news that Xu Rong said that she was going to go to war.

Seeing Xu Jiaya's return, Xu Rong ignored her question, and said to her seriously: "Father is going to the palace to see the emperor, you stay in the mansion well for me, and you are not allowed to wait for me to come back anywhere!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't care about Xu Jiaya's shocked expression after hearing what he said, she nodded with Li Xing and the others, walked out of the Hou Mansion together with them, boarded a carriage and galloped towards the palace.

In the sleeping hall of Chengde Hall, Situ Chenhao asked Qian Xu to bring a few people here to strictly guard Concubine Xian and Emperor Yuan lying on the dragon bed, while he brought the eagle out of Chengde Hall and brought Huang Zhenzhong The guards fought.

Huang Zhenzhong is a member of Situ Minglie, and he got the news after Ying and Qian Xu brought people into the palace to fight all the way to Chengde Hall, and kidnapped Concubine Xian and Emperor Yuan. Later, he brought the imperial guards he led in the palace to come Arrived outside the Chengde Hall and fought with Qian Xu's army.

At the same time, Situ Chenhao and Ying also left the Chengde Hall to get rid of those who got in the way.
