Chapter 217 These two people actually joined forces!
Night falls.
A big fire suddenly broke out in the cold palace.
"The fire is breaking out! Come and save people!" an eunuch shouted.
Soon the cold palace became noisy.
Among the crowd coming and going carrying buckets of water to put out the fire.
Concubine Rong dressed up as a eunuch and quietly found the contact person.
Concubine Rong avoided inspection by riding in a carriage that was used to carry swill out of the palace.
As soon as she left the palace, she immediately got in touch with Rong Xiong's people.
"Take me away quickly." After leaving the palace, Concubine Rong felt that she could breathe much more smoothly.
"Please get in the car quickly."
Concubine Rong sat in the carriage arranged by Rong Xiong's men and came to a private residence.
She smelled the stench on her body and was disgusted.
How could she, a noble imperial concubine, end up in such a state?
After she went into the house and washed up, Rongxiong also came.
Rong Xiong saw that his sister had regained her usual self-confidence. He urged her, "You have to stay here for now. When the time is right, I will send you out of the city."
There was hatred in Concubine Rong's eyes.
"Brother, you must help me kill Pei Ye, Chu Li, Ye Hanting, and that bitch Shu Guifei!"
Rong Xiong's brows were furrowed. His sister had offended too many people!
Except for Concubine Shu, which one of these people is easy to kill?
"You should take good care of yourself first. I have arranged everything in the palace. You don't have to worry."
"Brother, what about them?" Concubine Rong asked unwillingly.
Rong Xiong sighed, "It's not difficult for you to let me solve the matter of Concubine Shu, but Pei Ye has 100,000 imperial guards behind him, and Ye Hanting is surrounded by many experts, so they can't get close to him at all. As for Chu Li, you tried it last time, and even the mystic master couldn't do anything to him!"
Concubine Rong grabbed Rong Xiong's arm and begged, "No, you have to think of a way for me. I hate it so much. If it weren't for them, how could I have faked my death and escaped? I will have to live in hiding from now on!"
Concubine Rong felt extremely aggrieved and couldn't stop crying.
Rong Xiong comforted him, "Okay, I'll find a way to deal with them slowly."
The person he wants to deal with now is Emperor Qingyuan.
He felt that the mastermind behind this incident must be Emperor Qingyuan.
It is true that he coveted the throne, but he did not intend to take action during the reign of Emperor Qingyuan.
His original intention was to launch a coup d'état in the name of his sister and children after Chu Li ascended the throne and seize the throne of Great Chu.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Qingyuan could no longer tolerate him.
At the moment, he is the only one who has ascended to Dabao, and he can deal with the others one by one.
He would not tell his sister his thoughts for the time being, lest she act on impulse and ruin his plans.
"Brother, please at least teach Chu Li a lesson for me. Ever since he became smart, I've been unlucky. It's all his fault!"
Rong Xiong saw that his sister was really wronged, so he suddenly had an idea and asked, "Are Chu Li and Pei Ye mortal enemies?"
Concubine Rong nodded, "Yes, I have seen them quarreling before, and it is no secret that they are not getting along."
Rong Xiong smiled slightly, "Then let's sow discord between them and let them bite each other."
"Okay, thank you, big brother!" Concubine Rong felt relieved. If big brother took action, Chu Li and Pei Ye would just wait to hurt each other!
......
Wu'anhou Mansion.
The spies came to report.
"Master, we don't have to do it ourselves this time. Today, Commander Pei led the Imperial Guards to go out on business, and the Crown Prince just came back from outside the city. When the two teams met, neither of them was willing to give way, and then the two of them fought. Commander Pei was injured, and the Crown Prince was seriously injured. He is currently recuperating in the East Palace."
Rong Xiong clenched the big knife in his hand and cut the willow tree in front of him into two halves.
"Good! Very good!" In this way, he can start working hard.
After the spy left, the suspicious Rong Xiong looked at the guards behind him and said, "Let our people in the palace find out if the Crown Prince and Commander Pei are injured?"
"Yes, master."
As night fell, after Rong Xiong confirmed that Pei Ye and the prince were both injured, he summoned his subordinates who were waiting outside the city.
Rong Xiong looked at his men, raised his torch, and said sternly:
"Go straight to the palace! Except for Emperor Qingyuan's head, leave no one alive, kill them!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
In the middle of the night, Rong Xiong led his men into the palace, and the first palace gate was quickly lost.
The sound of fighting resounded throughout the palace.
Rong Xiong suddenly felt uneasy when he saw the vulnerable guard.
Even if Pei Ye was injured, it would be impossible for them to move freely with so few imperial guards.
He had fought in wars for many years and immediately realized that this was a conspiracy.
"Come on!"
"withdraw!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light exploded in the air, the signal was sent, and Pei Ye's voice echoed throughout the palace gates.
"kill!"
When Rong Xiong saw Chu Li not far from Pei Ye, his pupils shrank suddenly and he thought to himself, oh no, he has been fooled!
These two people actually joined forces!
Faced with the imperial guards who had been lying in ambush, Rong Xiong's subordinates were vulnerable.
Pei Ye laughed wantonly, "Marquis Wu'an, do you think that if my men are guarding the palace gates and I don't let your sister go, Concubine Rong can leave the palace safely?"
He glanced at Chu Li and said, "Rong Xiong, we have been on guard against you since you came back!"
"The so-called discord is just a play between me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince and I have a good relationship!"
The corners of Chu Li's lips twitched. Why did this guy sound so ambiguous?
"Bastard!" Rong Xiong was furious.
His subordinates were soon surrounded and killed by the imperial guards, leaving only Rong Xiong and a few of his trusted subordinates.
Pei Ye watched the imperial guards besieging them, smiling as he watched, "Your Highness, your plan seems to be working!"
Chu Li smiled faintly. More than ten days ago, she had approached Pei Ye to discuss cooperation.
Although Pei Ye is arrogant, he also understands the seriousness of the situation.
If he captured Concubine Rong himself, Rong Xiong would definitely take revenge on him, so he chose to share the risk with Chu Li.
Chu Liming understood that in the face of common interests, there are no eternal enemies. As long as the interests are consistent, consensus can be reached.
"We have escaped a disaster, and Commander Pei has done a great job in protecting the emperor. Only a fool would not cooperate with such a mutually beneficial thing."
Pei Ye played with the dagger in his hand and looked at Chu Li with a smile.
"But next time I'll still want your life."
Chu Li sneered, "Who isn't?"
Pei Ye smiled. He liked Chu Li's personality more and more.
Rong Xiong swung his sword to kill the imperial guards. Pei Ye jumped off his horse and slashed at Rong Xiong with his sword.
Just when Chu Li was trying to distance himself from the matter and find a quiet place to watch Pei Ye fight.
Suddenly, a cold light came towards her.
