Ten diligent days: the fields are still

Chapter 350 The Strange Emperor

"The emperor must be working in the imperial study right now. Let's go this way."

Passing through a garden and passing through several doors, there were many people coming and going along the way, but most of them knew Li Hao and Zhao Yibo, so they didn't dare to ask too much.

When someone stopped to ask, Li Hao brought up the princess as a way to get away with it.

Because they entered the palace during meal time, they did not meet any concubines.

When we arrived at the door of the imperial study, there were also guards guarding the door.

Li Hao patted his chest and pointed to the window beside the bushes, "Just jump out of the window."

Yuan Lai is thin and walks lightly, making her suitable to be a vanguard. She stepped on the shoulders of Li Hao and Zhao Yibo, climbed onto the windowsill, and carefully swung her legs into the house.

Fortunately, she had experience in this area, so it was no problem at all.

Slipping behind the screen, the emperor was talking to someone.

She opened her eyes and saw a hideous black shadow emerging from behind the emperor.

The dark shadow disappeared in a flash.

Yuan Lai rubbed his eyes and looked again. The emperor was already lying on the table.

As soon as Li Hao and Zhao Yibo climbed into the house, Yuan Lai immediately stepped forward and pressed a dagger against the emperor's neck.

She knew this position very well.

Zhao Yibo picked up a pen and planned to write on the paper, but then he thought again and gave up, deciding to wake the emperor up.

The emperor was surprisingly calm when faced with the three people who suddenly appeared in the room.

Even yawned.

"I can agree to anything you ask for."

As expected of an emperor who climbed to power by stepping on thousands of human bones, he was not afraid at all when facing a dagger.

Yuan Lai said, "We already know that you poisoned yourself. We are here to ask you to issue an order to spare our friend."

"Poisoning himself?" The emperor suddenly sneered, "He's quite ruthless to himself."

What do you mean?

Zhao Yibo searched the bookshelf next to him, "Let them go and everything will be fine. Otherwise, we will... kill... kill you."

Li Hao patted Zhao Yibo on the back and said, "Yes, issue the order quickly. You were caught doing something bad, shouldn't you blame yourself first? Finding someone to take the blame is nothing."

The emperor lowered his eyes to look at the dagger lying in front of him, then smiled at Yuan Lai and said, "Your dagger can't kill me. However, I can help you write the imperial edict."

The emperor pointed to the brocade box at the bottom of the bookshelf and said, "What you are looking for is inside."

Zhao Yibo opened the box and took out a blank imperial edict.

The emperor waved his hand, wrote some words on it, and then stamped it with his own anti-counterfeiting seal.

"Since ancient times, imperial edicts written in person have been extremely rare. Are you satisfied with this?"

"Is this imperial edict effective? Don't bully us because we are not well educated." Li Hao picked up the imperial edict and looked at it left and right, but couldn't figure out what it meant.

The emperor actually raised his hand as if swearing an oath and promised, "This imperial decree will definitely work. If it doesn't work, the emperor will not have a good death."

Yuan Lai subtly sensed something strange in the emperor's words.

"No, go summon the Minister of Justice to the palace right now and release him in front of us."

The emperor was helpless, "If I want to summon someone to the palace, what's the point of an imperial edict?"

makes sense.

Yuan Lai nodded to Li Hao.

Li Hao took out a bottle and quickly poured the liquid inside into the emperor's mouth.

The strong smell of alcohol instantly rushed into Yuan Lai's nose, and he suppressed the urge to cough.

The emperor slowly lost consciousness and fell into a state of anesthesia.

"This knockout drug really works!"

"Hurry up, saving people is important, he might wake up at any moment."

Li Hao and Zhao Yi Bo took the imperial edict to rescue people. To be on the safe side, Yuan Lai stayed here to delay time.

Estimating the time, Yuan Lai quietly climbed out of the window and returned the same way. He saw the princess coming towards him from afar.

She quickly climbed into the sedan chair and followed the princess's team out of the palace smoothly.

"Where is Mr. Li? Isn't he going to see the Seventh Prince?"

"Princess, Mr. Li has probably left the palace first."

"Forget it, let him be."

Arriving at the palace, Yuan Lai observed for a long time before finally waiting for the opportunity to climb out of the sedan chair.

She immediately hid in an alley and beat her calves hard.

Leg numbness is also a problem at critical moments.

I don’t know whether Li Hao and Zhao Yi Bo succeeded in rescuing people.

Will Lou Zhengze release the person after seeing the imperial edict?

Oh, I hope there won’t be any complications along the way.

"Yuan Lai! Yuan Lai!"

At the intersection, someone was calling her softly.

Yuan Lai turned around and saw three familiar carriages.

The rescue was successful!

She took a step forward excitedly, but found that her legs were out of control and she fell heavily to the ground.

Zhao Xiaotong and Lu Zhuo ran over, picked up Yuan Lai without saying a word, and stuffed her into one of the carriages.

"Let's go before curfew!"

Li Hao, Zhao Yibo and Su Deyi each took a car to deal with the security guard's inspection.

The others were scattered across three carriages, with some necessary clothes and food placed in the spare space, so they traveled light.

Sitting in Yuan Lai's carriage were Li Hao, Lu Zhuo and Jiang Dunhao.

Li Hao looked out from time to time, and the only sound he could hear in the carriage was the thumping of his heartbeat.

Yuan Lai actually didn't expect that he would come back to find her. After all, her life was not in any danger.

But if the emperor regrets his decision, the brothers will immediately become wanted criminals.

Therefore, the best solution is to leave Chu Liang as soon as you get out of prison, instead of going all the way to the palace.

But they came anyway.

Li Hao started the conversation, "Is there anything wrong over there?"

Yuan Lai shook his head. "It's okay. Your timing is very accurate."

"Yeah," Li Hao grinned, showing his teeth, and adjusted his nonexistent bangs. "I told you there can't be any problems. They're still getting angry with me."

Jiang Dunhao and Lu Zhuo reached out simultaneously and gently hit Li Hao's thigh. "Who rushed here so fast?"

Li Hao said as a matter of course, "Of course it's YiBo."

The four of them smiled knowingly.

Yuan Lai asked about the situation in the cell again.

Lu Zhuo clapped his hands and spoke with great emotion, like a storyteller. "You don't know, we were all tied to the wooden rack! Red-hot iron rods were about to hit us. That official asked some inexplicable questions. We definitely couldn't confess. If we didn't confess, we would suffer. They would torture us. I could even smell the smell of barbecue, and then Li Hao and Yi Bo walked in proudly with the imperial edict in hand. They saved us."

"Didn't Lou Zhengze have any doubts?"

After all, changing one's orders every day is a big taboo.

"I asked the prince to go with us," Li Hao explained. "I told him I had found an opportunity to explain everything to the emperor and requested an imperial edict. I also lied to him that I had the emperor's oral instructions, so he followed us to the prison to announce the edict."

It turned out to be the case.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally drove out of the gate of Chuliang State.

Everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Where are we going next?"

Lu Zhuo lifted the curtain and asked for his opinion.

A head appeared on the carriage behind. Chen Shaoxi said, "Why don't we go back to Xihu?"

"Yes," Li Gengyun came out from another carriage. "Didn't you say there was someone who looked like me? I haven't seen one yet! I have to see how much of a resemblance there is."

Coming from Xihu and going back to Xihu is also a place to go.

The brothers also had the same idea by coincidence.

But things did not go as planned. They wanted to travel all the way back, but the little girl named Zhaoli suddenly caught up with them on horseback and told them bad news.

The emperor changed his mind.

People have been sent after them.

"This emperor is schizophrenic. He was fine with everything he said that night, how could he suddenly change?" Zhao Yibo was indignant.

"Okay, now we have become the second "My Fair Princess". Let's all escape." Li Gengyun's words caused the other brothers to fight back and they received several punches.

"Then are we going to Xihu next?" Wang Yiheng asked.

Jiang Dunhao said, "Let's go! We've been falsely accused of being spies. If we don't go, it would be even more unfair."

He Haonan was carrying a few bottles of water from the river. Seeing that everyone looked worried, he asked what was wrong.

After getting Zhuo Yuan's answer, he was also very angry, "How can it be like this?"

Zhuo Yuan put the water into the carriage and said, "Then let's hurry up. If we keep going slowly, they will catch up soon."

Ordinary carriages were no match for well-trained war horses, and soon they saw the shadows of the pursuers.

For safety reasons, they decisively abandoned one carriage and let it continue to run towards Xihu State, while the other two carriages turned around and headed towards Leshan State.

However, the roads in ancient times were difficult to travel on, and with the rain, the dirt roads were muddy, which slowed down the speed a lot.

"We just can't get through the mud."

Chen Shaoxi pushed the cart forward with all his strength, his face flushed red.

Wiping the rain off his face, Lu Zhuo loudly encouraged everyone, "Brothers, work together, we will definitely be able to push it out!"

Li Hao was leading the horse in front, constantly looking back to check the situation, "This horse is not listening!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yibo immediately gave up the back and ran to the front to help Li Hao.

Zhao Xiaotong observed the wheels sinking and decisively distributed manpower, "Brother, you and Zhuo Yuan go to the side, I'll push from behind."

Sitting in the car, Su Deyi, Yuan Lai and the little girl looked like they were riding in a rocking car.

Yuan Lai felt very uncomfortable. "They are all going to push the cart. Can we sit on the cart?"

Su De slumped down in his seat with a clear conscience, "What's wrong with that? It's raining so hard outside, I won't go out."

"I won't go down either!" Zhao Li said loudly.

Jiang Dunhao, who was outside, heard this and responded, "Just sit inside and relax! We've covered the entire hundred acres of land, so two cars won't be a problem!"

"Yes, yes, that's right, this is just the beginning!"

“It’ll be out soon!”

"Don't let up, or the wheels will go back!"

"Yes, do it in one go!"

Yuan Lai found the sitting so uncomfortable that he finally couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out of the carriage.

"Let me help you!"
