Xu Bai ran directly to the Nanya.

Even if the Nanya is fully dispatched, there will definitely be left-behind people in the Nanya. The capital tonight is really not quiet. He runs around alone, and he cannot guarantee that he can reach the prince.

He already knew very well what Huai'en meant. He would definitely not tell the emperor's condition how he was a taboo. At least, he would not tell him. However, what the emperor was most concerned about was obviously the prince. The love for his charity was no exception.

Of course, as for the emperor who always valued him and paid attention to his words, he would just listen to it. If he was really grateful, he would feel a little sorry for his own mind.

He ran away from the imperial city and ran towards the west city. On the way, he met patrol officers and soldiers. He either went around or hid, waiting for the other party to pass by before continuing. The movements in the imperial city may not be transmitted here, but he did not dare to take it lightly. Apart from his own manpower, even if he met the patrolling Jinyiwei, he would not foolishly go forward to express his identity.

The Nanya was quiet, as always, probably Zhao Huchen had ordered that the Nanya gate was closed at this moment, and no one could see it at the door. Just a few lanterns at the door were swaying and projecting the dim light onto the stone lion in front of the door.

Xu Bai stepped forward and pulled the door knocker. The dull sound made by the door knocker on the door spread far away in the quiet night. At the same time, there were also shouts of shouting on the high wall behind the door.

"Who is outside the door!"

It was a sentry tower set up by the Nanya near the gate. It was above the sentry tower. Even near the Nanya gate, even within a hundred steps, there was nowhere to hide.

"The East Palace urgently reported that hundreds of households left behind in the South Ya came out to speak!"

Xu Bai knew that the other party had seen him a long time ago, but he probably couldn't open the door if he didn't reveal his identity. The elite soldiers and generals in the southern yamen were probably taken to the East Palace by Zhao Huchen. Except for the officers of more than a hundred households left behind, the other lieutenants may not recognize him.

Especially at this moment, he was still wearing a soldier's clothes.

Instead of explaining for a long time, it is better to just talk to someone who knows him.

Almost not long after, a familiar voice sounded from the whistle: "The Nanya has been closed tonight, and people are not allowed to enter and exit. If there is any urgent report from the East Palace, just report it directly outside the door!"

There was a rustling sound on the whistle. I wonder how many crossbows pointed at Xu Bai at this moment. Xu Bai coughed: "Fang Shouqiong, it's me!"

"Mr. Xu!"

Fang Shouqiong's voice sounded on the whistle, and then a sound of footsteps sounded. The gate of the Nanya slowly opened: "Sir, why are you going back to the Yai alone? Didn't Lord Zhao say you have entered the palace?"

"I will explain these things to you later!"

Xu Bai walked into the gate: "Are there any horses in the yamen? Prepare a fast horse for me. Now, how many people are there except you in the yamen?"

"Less than a hundred people!" Fang Shouqiong looked solemn: "As Lord Zhao ordered all his brothers to rush to the East Palace. In addition to the necessary staff to guard the prisons in various places, only a few dozen people left me to guard the house!"

"Very good, you did a good job!" Xu Bai nodded: "Continue to be optimistic about the portal. I am going to the East Palace now and find a few smart brothers to accompany me!"

"Sir, wait!" Fang Shouqiong ordered. Not long after, a few fast horses and a few energetic Jinyiwei appeared in front of Xu Bai.

"Li Wuya, my deputy household, a local from the capital, is clever and skillful. He takes his guard to the East Palace!"

Fang Shouqiong pointed at the Jinyiwei who was leading his horse and said to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai nodded and turned over and said, "Look at the door. Before dawn, Lord Zhao and I were not going back to the yamen in person. The gate of our yamen is not allowed to open again. If you break through, you will kill me no matter how hard you do!"

"I understand!" Fang Shouqiong nodded: "Sir Zhao also told me!"

Three fast horses ran out of the gate of the Nanya. The gate of the Nanya was closed heavily behind them. The crisp sound of horse hooves rang out on the long street, heading towards the East Palace in the distance.

One mile away from the East Palace, Xu Bai could see the army that was heavily guarded by torches. The three of them showed their badges and were led in by the troops guarding the outside. When they arrived outside the East Palace, they saw that the inner guards were basically all from the South Yamen, Xu Bai finally felt relieved.

As he walked into the Eastern Palace, more and more people were behind him. Su Xiu and others who had stayed outside the palace before entering the palace also rushed over. When Zhao Huchen saw him, Xu Bai had already arrived at the inner courtyard of the royal palace.

"Let's talk about it when you see the prince..."

Zhao Huchen couldn't help but ask, he had already had many problems at this moment, and Xu Bai blocked him back with just one sentence: "You can also see the prince!"

"I just came out of the prince, and Mr. Shang is also with the prince!"

"Yeah!" Xu Bai quickly walked into the inner courtyard. Almost as the notice sounded, he had already walked into the door. The prince and Shang Lu were talking about something. When he saw him coming in, he stopped the topic and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Why is this look..."

"How is the situation in the palace?"

The two asked questions almost at the same time, and Xu Bai bowed to them: "It's okay in the palace. The empress dowager personally sits in the Shoukang Palace. Xu Youzhen and Li Xian are planning in the center of the cabinet. Xu Chengzu led the palace guards to resist the attack of the rebels. When I came out, everything was under control..."

The prince handed Xu Bai a cup of tea, and Xu Bai took it up and drank it: "When he came out, he was in a hurry, and he was single again. He was afraid that he would not get out of the thief, so he got such a set of clothes and felt a little embarrassed!"

"I'll ask someone to get you a set of clothes. You are in the house in the mansion, so you should have the clothes you often wear!" Zhao Huchen said.

"Don't worry, I just came out and don't know what's going on outside. Tell me first!"

"The news has been sent to me since you ordered someone, and I have sent someone to go to the East Factory. There is already our secret stake nearby, so the authenticity of the news is still fine, but it is not easy to spread it!"

Zhao Huchen said: "The Northern Yamen gathered people and attacked a hasty attack. I don't know if it was Commander Yuan who could only summon so many people for a while or was planning to take action first and wait for the support of the people behind. Anyway, hundreds of Jinyiwei guards directly attacked the Dongchang Factory, but not long after, they were killed by the Dongchang people. The two sides were stalemates, and then a large number of Jinyiwei reinforcements came over. The latest news was that some Dongchang men rushed out of the siege and headed towards the imperial city. There was no news afterwards!"

"Have you not contacted Commander Yuan?" Xu Bai asked with a frown.

"No!" Zhao Huchen replied frankly: "This is Mr. Shang's suggestion. Tonight's drastic changes, it is difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends. Moreover, you are not here to stay. It is best for us to stick to the East Palace and wait for things to be clear and not to cause too many troubles!"

"Mr. Shang is a mature and steady word!" Xu Bai nodded to Shang Lu: "But now you can contact there, Prince..."

He glanced at the prince: "Summon Yuan Bin in the name of the prince. If he is not dead, he will definitely come to see the prince quickly. If he does not see others, the people from the Beiya will not be trusted for the time being!"

"Yes!" the prince nodded: "Huchen, go and send someone to do this immediately!"

Zhao Huchen turned and left. Xu Bai saw the look of the prince and Shang Lu's expectation. He knew what the two wanted to know the most at the moment.

"Prince, Mr. Shang, please feel free!"

"The thieves have gone directly to attack the imperial city. You can still feel at ease when you tell me!" The prince was anxious: "How about the casualties of the imperial guards in the palace? Have Cao Jixiang's gangsters in the palace been cut off? Did my father besieged? The most important thing is, how are the thieves who besieged the imperial city now?"

"The rebels are not worth worrying!" Xu Bai took a deep breath: "No matter what, the Jinyiwei besieged the Dongchang as promised, and most of Cao Qin's strength is on the Dongchang side. If Yuan Bin is doing things safely, the Cao family should have the Jinyiwei when besieging the Dongchang. This pair of steps was caught off guard. The Jinyiwei's troops were far more powerful than the Cao thief, so it was natural that Cao thief was pacified!"

"As for besieging the imperial city, they were just struggling to death!" Xu Bai looked at the prince and showed a reassuring smile to the prince: "If the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty could be broken by only a few hundred thousand people, my country in the Ming Dynasty would not be today!"

"Xu Bai's words make sense, especially after the Shi Heng incident, the palace strengthened the imperial guards. Not only Xu Chengzu's imperial guards, His Majesty also issued an order to summon a group of young children from the noble families in the capital to replenish the imperial guards, a group of dreaming mobs. I think they can't even climb the palace walls!"

"Is it really the imperial guards summoned by His Majesty?" Xu Bai glanced at Shang Lu. When Shang Lu heard this, he choked slightly.

"It's my grandmother!" Zhu Jianshen said softly: "Don't hide this from Xu Bai!"

Shang Lu nodded slowly, "But there is no doubt that my nobles of the Ming Dynasty are loyal, brave and reliable!"

"I don't deny this!" Xu Bai nodded: "I saw many strange faces in the palace. Although these people did not resist the rebels on the palace wall, they were still very effective in stabilizing the situation in the palace!"

"It's good that the palace is fine!" Zhu Jianshen sighed with relief, "These damn thieves should all be searched and exterminated!"

"It's okay in the palace, the prince is fine here, so the thief can't jump anywhere!" Xu Bai said: "When Yuan Bin comes, ask them about the situation of the war, and see if we need to clean up the mess. As for the family scout and extermination of the clan, after tonight, I'm afraid that there will be many people's life to come to an end!"

"Has there been no movement in the other soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp?"

Shang Lu and Zhu Jianshen have some concerns. After all, he is in the cabinet now. After confirming that the prince and the palace are fine, what he cares about is whether the matter will become bigger and worse tonight.

During the last Shiheng Rebellion, the capital was rectified for more than half a year. Because countless people were implicated, the entire court was almost completely reshuffled. Such a thing was really not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

As the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, the army was also running everywhere in the Qing army. He could even say that even if there was no war in the Ming Dynasty during this period, the military strength and combat power of the Ming Dynasty had dropped by at least 30%.

If we repeat the same mistake tonight, it would be another disaster.

"After the last Qing army, the commanders of the various armies in the Beijing camp changed and kept. If they had any unfaithful intentions or were dissatisfied with the court, they would have been cleared out long ago!"

Xu Bai shook his head: "The stability of the army can still be guaranteed. Cao Qin has the intention to rebel, and it is not long. Even if he wins over people everywhere, the generals who have been replaced after the Qing army will not be dragged into the water so quickly. The Qing army of the court is not Bai Qing!"

"If you don't have a life tonight, there will be chaos outside. If you don't know what the situation is, you dare to send troops to quell the chaos. Don't think about it. That will definitely be a thief. According to the current situation, there is no attack on the East Palace, and there is only Cao Qin's thief in the imperial city. There should be nothing wrong. After dawn, the palace's orders and the orders of the Ministry of War should arrive at each army immediately, and there will be no chaos!"

"That's good!" Shang Lu breathed a long sigh of relief. His nerves were tense and he could not be exposed on his face, which made the prince even more anxious. Seeing Xu Bai explaining the situation clearly in a few words, he finally sat down with peace of mind.

"Crown Prince and Mr. Shang, thank you for your hard work in the middle of the night, let's take a break first. After it's too bright, I'm afraid there will be too many things to deal with. Let me leave the next thing!"

"Your injury has not been healed yet..." The prince glanced at him with some concern.

"He pretended!" Shang Lu smiled and pointed at Xu Bai: "Look at how he seemed to be injured!"

"Pretty?!" The prince was surprised.

"Internal injury, internal injury!" Xu Bai smiled awkwardly: "It has been much healed a lot, it's just an occasional attack. It's not a problem. I'm carrying medicine at any time!"

"You have to be pity for yourself!" The prince looked at Xu Bai with dissatisfaction: "Without my permission, don't even be injured in the future. The friendship between you and my king and minister should not end before it even begins..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Bai nodded repeatedly: "I'll go outside and wait for the people from the Beiya. The prince will rest with peace of mind. Mr. Shang, please hurry up and take a break. After dawn, there are too many things to do in the cabinet!"

"Go, do your own business well, and you can teach me about the cabinet's affairs!" Shang Lu smiled and scolded.

Xu Bai smiled and stepped back. The prince turned his head and looked at Shang Lu: "How?"

Shang Lu nodded slowly: "Didn't the prince just say it? What about this person? Do you need me to say it again?"

"I mean how he is?" The prince shook his head: "I naturally know a little about his ability, but I also know some of his reputation. In the past few months, there are not only one or two who say bad things about him in my ears!"

"If you use it well, he is the prince's Duke of Wei. If you use it poorly, maybe he will become the prince's Duke of Zhong!" Shang Lu pondered for a moment: "As for how to use him, it is the prince's business!"
