It has been several months since Zhang Xuan's family moved to the palace. Although the Qi Palace is vacant, the periphery is still on high alert. Of course, if you can enter the mansion through the periphery, the possibility of being exposed will be greatly reduced. After all, the master no longer lives in the mansion, and most of the guards have been transferred to the palace, and there are only the most basic patrols in the mansion.

The next night, three black shadows climbed over the high wall of the Qi Palace and got five hundred taels of gold. The Shanyuequan combination was naturally about to start taking action.

Before this, Zhao Huangquan disguised himself as a lowly servant who cleaned the toilet and entered the Qi Palace. After two days of staying in the Qi Palace, she discovered a loophole in the palace, and the three of them made a detailed plan.

With the three of them being very skilled in martial arts, it was not a big problem to avoid the vigilance of the outside world. They used the big tree to climb over the high wall and went directly into the back garden of the royal palace.

The three of them were hiding in a corner of the back garden. Zhao Huangquan knew that although there were no patrol soldiers in the back garden, there were several female guards hiding. Although they were very few, they were even more threatening. As long as they appeared in the back garden, they would inevitably be exposed by the hidden female guards.

However, the target of the three was not the Qi Palace, but the Imperial Palace. Where they entered, there was a small river that could swim into the Neihu from the small river. This Neihu, called Biyuan, connected the back house of the Qi Palace and the Imperial Palace.

This is the defensive loophole that Zhao Huangquan has shown. It is difficult for them to enter the heavily guarded palace from the front, but they can swim in the vacant Qi Palace and enter the inner palace, directly avoiding the outermost layer of military guards and the second layer of guard patrols. They will face the defense of the personal female guards directly.

The three of them were ready. They took off their coats, wore tight water, and carried the carry-on items wrapped in layers of oil cloth, and quietly penetrated into the river, swimming from the small river to the inner lake a hundred steps away.

Zhang Xuan's wife and daughter have lived in the palace for several months. From the beginning when they were not used to it, to the later time they gradually adapted to the empty and spacious palace, they finally gradually got used to the palace life.

Two months ago, Pei Zhizhi gave birth to a son, named Zhang Qi, and was immediately named Prince Pengcheng by the Empress Dowager. Zhang Xuan's eldest son Zhang Ting was named Prince Beihai last year, and his daughters were named Prince Prince. It was because of the laughter and running of several children that the palace, which had always been deserted, began to become lively.

Although Lu Qing did not want her children to be bound by various palace rules, Lu Qing still kept in mind her husband's instructions and moved into the palace for safety reasons. Therefore, Lu Qing was unambiguous in terms of safety of her family and children, insisting on protecting her female guards in close proximity. Not only herself, but also sisters and children, and children were not allowed to leave the room after dark.

Lu Qing was assassinated by Meng Haigong once, leaving her a deep memory. If Wu Niang hadn't appeared in time, she would have died that time. When the assassin came to her, she was so close to the god of death.

As soon as the sky got dark, a female guard came to report: "Your Majesty, the prince is not in the room."

Lu Qing was stunned. Why wasn't her son in the room? She asked quickly: "Have you been looking for it at the second wife? Are you practicing martial arts with the second wife?"

"I came from the second wife, and the prince did not go to practice martial arts today."

Seeing that it was already dark, Lu Qing didn't know where his son was. The palace was so big, where could he run?

More importantly, Lu Qing knew that her son was a gentle child, not a naughty child. She was a little anxious and hurriedly ordered her to go and find the prince quickly!"

At this moment, Yang Jier walked in with a smile, "Sister, don't look for him anymore. I know where he is?"

"Speak quickly! Where is he?"

"With the Zen master, the two are playing chess!"

The Zen master is the son of Princess Nanyang, Zen Master Yuwen, and the son of Yuwen Shiji. Yuwen and now serve as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Chang'an. Because of his brother Yuwen's hatred for killing his father, Princess Nanyang basically cut off the relationship between him and his wife, and she refused to hand over her son, Zen Master Yuwen to Yuwen Shiji.

Zen Master Yuwen is two years older than Zhang Ting. Both of them are in need of friends, so they have a good relationship. They study together, play chess and fish together, and practice swords and martial arts together. The two are inseparable all day long.

Lu Qing patted his forehead, why did he forget the Zen master? His son did not come back, and there was a greater possibility of being with the Zen master.

Lu Qing then said to his confidant maid Li Xiang: "Go and tell the naughty boy, come back immediately after playing chess, otherwise his mother will be angry."

"I understand!" Rika took a bow and walked quickly.

At this time, Yang Jier stepped forward and sat down and said, "Sister, it's too close to go to Zhangshui! Let's go farther away. How about going to Zhuo County? Go to my elder sister's parents' home to see."

Yang Ji'er recently had a task. Seeing that everyone was bored in the palace, Lu Qing planned to take everyone out for a walk. The whole family brought Empress Dowager Xiao with her and everyone took a boat out for a trip.

Although Empress Xiao felt that it was a bit inappropriate, the harem was decided by Princess Qi. Since it was Lu Qing's proposal, she would not object. Yang Jier, who was extremely happy, volunteered to plan the outing.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Youzhou is fighting, why are we joining in the fun? Besides, the important announcements of the court need to be printed by your mother before they can be issued. The empress dowager cannot be too far away from the capital."

Yang Jier muttered in a low voice, "Whatever she does is disappointing, let her stay in the palace, let's go away."

"It's me, the princess, who is going to appease the families of the fallen soldiers. I don't have time to go away. Now you won't talk anymore!"

Yang Jier had no choice but to give in, "Okay! Let's take a look at what fun places are near Zhangshui."

Yang Ji'er left. Seeing that his son had not come back, Lu Qing felt a little anxious and said to the people around him: "I'll go outside and take a look. You guys go with me!"

Zhang Ting played a bit too much today. He played chess with Zen Master Yuwen, and the two were hard to distinguish. After all, Zhang Ting was still a seven or eight-year-old child. He forgot to go home when he was playing very well. Although his mother asked his maid Li Xiang to come to him, he insisted on playing the chess game before leaving. Li Xiang had no choice but to wait aside.

Zhang Ting finally ate a big dragon from Zen Master Yuwen. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zen Master Yuwen had to push the chess and admit defeat.

Zhang Ting said proudly: "We will go down tomorrow."

"Today I made a calculation mistake, and tomorrow you will have no chance."

The two of them laughed and Rika said, "Young master won't go back yet, your wife will be angry."

Zhang Ting was shocked when he saw that the sky was already dark, "When is it now?"

"It's almost the hour of Hai."

"Oh no! Oh no! I'm going to be scolded by my mother."

At this time, Princess Nanyang walked up and smiled and said, "Ask your mother a mistake, and promise that she won't blame her next time. She won't blame her. Go back quickly!"

"Then I'll leave!"

Zhang Ting put on his outer robe and left. Princess Nanyang said to her son: "Zen Master, please send the prince back!"

"Mom, I understand!"

The two walked out of the palace one by one, and more than a dozen female guards were waiting for them outside the door for a long time. Zen Master Yuwen took a lantern and pulled Zhang Ting to the prince's carriage. The female guards got on the horse and followed them.

Princess Nanyang and Empress Xiao live in the East Palace, while Zhang Xuan's family lives in the West Palace. They have to pass through the entire inner palace, about two miles apart, and it takes some time to walk back, so they usually take a light and small single carriage.

Zhang Ting also had his own special carriage. Because he was the prince, there was a ridge on his carriage to show his dignity. The female guards also rode horses and followed him, watching the surrounding situation vigilantly.

Soon, the carriage came to Jinlin Bridge. Under the bridge was a small river connecting the Neihu. After crossing the bridge, it entered the range of the West Palace. Master Yuwen's family education was very strict. His mother did not allow him to step into the West Palace, so he would usually send it to Jinlin Bridge. Master Yuwen jumped out of the carriage and smiled and said, "The old rules, I'll send it here. Don't forget to admit his mistake to his mother."

At this moment, a female guard suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "Who is there? Come out!"

As soon as the female guard finished speaking, three cold lights shot out from behind a few big trees by the river. Zen Master Yuwen was not prepared at all, and all three cold lights hit him on the back. Zen Master Yuwen shouted and fell to the ground.

More than a dozen female guards immediately reacted and shouted, "There is an assassin!"

Several female guards protected the carriage, while the other female guards drew their swords and rushed towards several big trees. Three black shadows flashed behind the big trees and jumped into the river.

A female guard, Zhang Gong, shot three whistleblowers into the sky in a row. The sharp roar pierced the quiet night sky. This was the alarm of an assassin. The inner palace immediately heard the rapid bell of "Dang!Dang!Dang!"

The entire palace was alarmed, and a large group of guards rushed to the bridge first and asked loudly for the guard general: "Where is the assassin?"

"They jumped into the water, there were three!"

The general suddenly thought of something, his face pale, and he yelled, "Go to the Prince Qi Mansion!"

At this time, Lu Qing also hurried over under the tight escort of more than a dozen female guards. She saw the young man lying on the ground and was so shocked that she almost fainted. The female guard hurriedly supported her, "Princess, not the prince!"

Lu Qing was shocked and asked urgently: "Where is my son?"

"Mother!"
