Chapter 787 Re-entry into the palace

  The palace is built on the mountain, and behind it is a steep mountain wall. Although a secret door is opened, it is impossible to travel normally.

   The maid who received Wei Wuxie's order was a good hand.

   It rained heavily last night and the mountain road was slippery.

   He stabilized his body and quickly ran into the dark night.

  Qiao Zhao and Shao Mingyuan were naturally not asleep at the moment, they all stood by the window and looked in the direction of the palace where Emperor Ming Kang retreated.

   The sound of fighting came from the night, and standing here seemed to smell the blood, and the mountain wind whistled on the face, although it was midsummer, it was still cool.

   Shao Mingyuan draped a coat over Qiao Zhao, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and asked warmly, "Is it cold?"

  Qiao Zhao raised his head and smiled: "Fortunately, I guess someone is coming."

Shao Mingyuan sneered: "The emperor's incident really led to the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods. Now Jinlinwei, Jinwuwei, Yulinwei and the internal training army led by Dongchang are all involved. No matter which side wins, this is the case. Qingliang Mountain will be washed with blood."

  Qiao Zhao looked out the window: "The emperor is obsessed with cultivating Taoism, and he has not established a prince for a long time. The fruit of today is the cause of the past."

   As the two of them were talking, Chenguang reported from outside the door: "General, Eunuch Wei's subordinates are asking to see you."

   Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Zhao looked at each other, no surprise.

   "Invite him in."

   Shao Mingyuan and Qiao Zhao walked to the flower hall and saw someone coming.

   The person who came was in his thirties, with calm eyes and a resolute expression. At first glance, he knew that his skills were good. When he saw Qiao Zhao, the two immediately greeted him: "I have seen Mr. Hou, Mrs. Hou."

   "Father-in-law doesn't need to be too polite, I don't know why you came here at this time?"

  The servant immediately said: "King Mu said that Jinlinwei and Yulinwei were moved, and now they are forcibly entering the palace. We can't stand it for too long, so Gong Gong ordered me to ask Lord Hou to help me."

  Shao Mingyuan was silent for a while, then said indifferently: "Uh, I wonder how Mr. Chang wants Ben Hou to help you?"

  The inner servant quickly glanced at Qiao Zhao: "Mrs. Hou is rejuvenating with a wonderful hand, and the factory master asks Mrs. Hou to come over and try to wake up the emperor early so that this palace change can be stopped."

   "No!" Shao Mingyuan categorically refused, "I don't need to say more about the palace becoming dangerous. No matter what, this is a matter between men. How can I let my wife get into danger!"

"Master Hou, our factory master said that as long as Mrs. Hou can go, the safety of Mrs. Hou will definitely be put first. Even if the palace gate is breached, we will send Mrs. Hou away from the secret door in time, never Endanger her safety."

   "Sometimes, people are not as good as heaven-" Shao Mingyuan's tone still did not loosen.

   He and Qiao Zhao had actually reached an agreement that if Wei Wuxie sent someone to invite him, he would eventually come with them.

   In order to be safe in the future, Prince Rui must win this battle, so the risk is necessary and worthwhile.

   But now, Shao Mingyuan naturally cannot agree easily.

   "Master Hou, do you have the heart to watch Qingliang Mountain bleed into rivers of blood, and Daliang's orthodoxy is subverted by chaotic ministers and thieves?"

  Shao Mingyuan smiled: "I can't bear such a responsibility, but I still say that, the struggle of the world is a matter of men, and no responsibility can fall on my wife."

   "Hou Ye's words are good, but once King Mu succeeds, I don't know how many noble ministers will be washed in blood, and it may not be easy for Hou Ye to keep his family safe..."

  The two of you came and went, Qiao Zhao finally said, "Tingquan, the emperor is in trouble. As a member of the Liang Liang, I really should do my part, so let's go with this father-in-law."

   When the servant heard Qiao Zhao's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at Qiao Zhao with almost tears of gratitude.

  The factory master has already explained that if he can't invite the champion Mrs. Hou, then there is no need to go back, and he will kill himself.

   "Then I'll accompany you." Shao Mingyuan held Qiao Zhao's hand, and when the waiter's lips moved, he wanted to say something, and said coldly, "This point must not be changed."

   "Okay then, I'll ask Hou Ye and Madam to clean up and go with the little ones."

  The two put on their shoes for going out and followed the servants to the palace under the cover of the night.

   Although it was difficult to enter from the back mountain, Shao Mingyuan dealt with this kind of thing with ease. He carried Qiao Zhao on his back, and jumped in the mountains and forests like an ape. He didn't wait long to see Wei Wuxie.

   Wei Wuxie showed a relieved smile when he saw the two of them: "Finally, it's time for Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou, and the two of you will come with us soon."

  Under the leadership of Wei Wuxie, Qiao Zhao quickly met Emperor Ming Kang.

  Ming Kangdi lay quietly on the dragon bed, rolling up layers of gauze, revealing a pale face.

  The man who once stood at the top now looks no different from an ordinary old man who is terminally ill.

  Qiao Zhao walked over.

   "Mrs. Hou, do you think the emperor can wake up early?" Wei Wuxie asked anxiously.

  Qiao Zhao stretched out his hand and landed on Emperor Ming Kangdi's wrist, pursing his lips slowly.

  Wei Wuxie became more and more nervous, he couldn't help raising his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

   King Mu's commotion involved all the Janissaries to fight like this, which he didn't expect.

  If the emperor can only wake up after two days, I am afraid it will be too late.

   Time passed, and Qiao Zhao retracted his hand and looked at Wei Wuxie: "Eunuch Wei, how long can you hold on outside?"

   Before Wei Wuxie could speak, Qiao Zhao emphasized: "How long can you resist with all your strength?"

  Wei Wuxie thought for a while and said, "At most, around noon tomorrow."

   "No, not at that time." Qiao Zhao shook his head directly, "I can at most make the emperor wake up at dusk tomorrow, and then I will be helpless."

"But-"

   "Eunuch Wei, I'm just a newcomer to medicine, not a living fairy."

  The expression on Wei Wuxie's face was uncertain, he hesitated for a long time and gritted his teeth: "Okay, then it will be at dusk tomorrow!"

   Qiao Zhao said again: "Even so, letting the emperor wake up early still has an impact."

   "What impact?"

   "I said it before, even if the emperor wakes up, he can only last for a quarter of an hour. If he wakes up early—"

   "Could it not even be a quarter of an hour?"

   "That's not true, but the emperor will bleed to his death after that. How to explain it to Baiguan Xungui at that time will still be a headache for Eunuch Wei."

   Wei Wuxie's expression changed, but in this situation, he had no other choice but to nod his head: "Let's find a way, now ask Madam Hou to give the emperor acupuncture."

   "Eunuch Wei really thought about it?" Qiao Zhao took out the silver needle and finally confirmed, "If this needle goes down, there will be no room for change."

   "After thinking about it, ask Mrs. Hou to give needles!"

  Qiao Zhao nodded, holding the silver needle tightly, aiming at an acupoint on the top of Emperor Kangdi's head and stabbing it in.

   At that moment, Emperor Ming Kang's brows moved, Wei Wuxie almost fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, Emperor Kang looked like a living dead, and then he recovered.
