Not long after, dozens of fast horses galloped out of the palace!

Lu Jinxi couldn't see where all the horses had gone, but at a glance, he saw that the number of the Imperial Guards at the gate of the palace quickly tripled.

Soon, the eunuchs all returned.

But those who returned to the palace with them were all the important civil and military ministers in the court!

Standing on the promenade, she glanced over and saw Wei Binggan, the current grandfather, Tang Ruijing, the right servant of the Ministry of War, Fang Shaoxing, the left servant of the Ministry of War, and the cabinet ministers, and even Ji Heng...

Some of them are still wearing the court clothes at the banquet, and some have changed their court clothes and wore regular clothes...

Everyone looked shocked and inexplicable, as if they had been summoned to the palace in a hurry.

The little palace maid who was serving in the front of the famous imperial palace came out of the hall, and only saluted Lu Jinxi and invited her to the side hall, saying that it was windy outside, and told her to avoid it.

Lu Jinxi entered the side hall.

This is the place where the maids and eunuchs prepare or rest on weekdays. When the fire was lit, she sat by the fire, but her heart could not be calm.

At the second quarter of Haizheng, another group of eunuchs went out from the palace;

Haizheng three quarters, the palace gate releases the key;

Four quarters of Hai Zheng, the imperial guards in the palace have been standing in the long corridor all the way from outside the Taiji Gate, and there is a series of numbers in front of the Taiji Hall.

The night suddenly became long and torturous.

Lu Jinxi was waiting in the side hall, and she couldn't help but feel sleepy. It was only after leaning on the armrest of the rose chair for a while, before he could fall asleep, he heard the sound of drums from the distance outside the imperial city.

Just in time.

On New Year's Eve, there is no curfew inside and outside the capital. During the busiest time, with the sound of drums, there are countless firecrackers from far and near, and people's laughter.

Fire tree silver flower, a day that never sleeps.

But then, a series of loud bells rang in the middle of the night when there should be no bells!

"when"

"when"

"when"

The huge capital, the boiling crowd, almost all fell silent!

So the hurried horse hooves like raindrops can finally be clearly heard by everyone, coming from the wide open outer city gate and driving in along Chang'an Avenue all the way!

Go straight to the Imperial City!

A horse took the lead, and the sergeant above held a mysterious black military flag in his hand.

He just ran ahead, shouting loudly—

"Quickly retreat! The general is still facing, quickly retreat!!!"

The sudden and violent snowstorm made his voice sound hoarse, as if galloping in the border desert, the yellow sand under the moon...

Just shouting all the way, came to the Tai Chi gate.

Lu Jinxiren was in the side hall, and when he heard the voice outside, he only felt vague and could not hear clearly, and only roughly captured the words "returning towards" and "rescue".

But then the palace gate opened.

That long voice sounded grand in the daytime, but in the snowy night of New Year's Eve, it was eerie and eerie!

The dense snow flakes blocked Lu Jinxi's sight.

At this distance, she could only see a horse galloping in from the palace gate, and a heroic figure turned down from the tall horse, only a vague shadow in the snow.

It was clear that she couldn't see clearly, but the moment she saw this outline, there was a thunderous shock in her heart!

It was a solemn and heavy figure, walking from far to near, step by step, walking towards the Taiji Hall with his feet on the mountains and rivers.

Cold armor, snow-splattered boots!

The strong wind lifted the black cloak he was wearing on his shoulders, and the dark silver unicorn pattern embroidered on the back swelled and pierced deeply into people's eyes!

A ferocious iron blood!

Those are the eyebrows and eyes carved by the wind and snow, condensing the vicissitudes of the years and the wind and sand, but what settles down is a proud, full of eloquence!

Without the cover of the beard, without the cover of the thick robe.

He has bright eyebrows, a high nose and thin lips, a broad chest and a strong waistline...

Step by step.

Go down the steps and go up to the last step.

The wind is too crazy.

Snow too fast.

However, there was a smile on his lips, a smile that was inevitable and fearless!

Lu Jinxi took a step back, unable to stand still.

All the thoughts in his head exploded in an instant, crowded into a mess, and it was impossible to tell which side was the head and which side was the tail.

In the trance of shaking, only heard the loud call that went straight to the sky—

"Xuan-"

"Wuwei Town State General Xue Kuang has an audience!"

Chapter 180

Lu Jinxi couldn't remember how he returned to the Grand Master's Mansion.

All she knew was that when she came back, the maids were all terrified, and looking at her covered in snow and cold, they all had expressions of horror on their faces.

A group of people lit the lights and shouted "The eldest young lady is back", and another maid called "Prepare hot water and ginger soup", so they crowded around her and walked into the house.

But Lu Jinxi felt that there was no direction under his feet.

Every step feels like stepping on a cloud.

Even with those calm and clear eyes in the past, they looked at the familiar sights in the Grand Master's Mansion, and only saw the psychedelic light, and the shadows overlapped, as if in the darkness that was not illuminated by light, At any time, there will be man-eating beasts rushing out!

On an ordinary way back to the house, she was so thrilled that she walked out of the ground!

"Madame, madam, are you alright?"

In the middle of the night, the wind chimes were still waiting in the room, but they were a little sleepy, leaning on the chair outside to take a nap.

As soon as heard the movement outside and came out to see it, was immediately terrified.

Whether it's her or the other people in the house, it's been three and a half years since she followed this eldest grandma who remarried, how have you ever seen her look like this?

"Don't be a nightmare, right?"

A woman said tremblingly.

The wind chimes hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Jinxi over, and together with the rest of the maids, took off her snow-soaked robe. At the same time, she raised her eyebrows and said to the old woman, "What nonsense!"

The old woman was embarrassed.

Everyone in the room looked at each other in dismay, seeing Lu Jinxi's appearance, only to feel that his heart was up and down with him.

The wind chimes asked again: "Only the eldest young lady is back, hasn't the eldest son come back?"

"I didn't come back. When the old slave was waiting outside the door, I saw a lady, and she didn't even take the car, as if she came back by herself."

The other woman who was in charge of waiting outside the door spoke cautiously.

After listening to the wind chimes, there was a moment of pause, and then he instructed: "Then send someone to the gate of the palace to ask and see when the eldest son will come back."

"I can't ask." The other little maid lowered her voice, and her expression was filled with fear. "When Madam came back, martial law was already enforced in the imperial city. Now the streets are cleared of people."

"..."

The wind chimes finally couldn't say anything.

Even if you are a fool, you should realize it at this time. I am afraid that something terrible has happened in the palace.

It's just that little people like them can't do anything.

At the moment, they can only restrain the fear that spreads in their hearts, do the things in their own hands, and tighten the string in their heads at the same time.

The wind chimes served Lu Jinxi, changed into warm clothes, and put a blanket over her. Seeing that she was just sitting on the heated kang in a daze and unconscious, she was so anxious.
