Chapter Twenty-Eight Hours Out of the Palace

On the second day after being placed under house arrest in Donglin Pavilion, Ji Ping was closely monitoring the situation around Yong'an Palace until the evening, Dong Zhuo did not move.

He thought that Dong Zhuo must have been stepped on by him a few days ago and could not act for the time being. But after all, "Shengqing" is too fat, with a thick butt. Although he stepped on it hard, it should be nothing big.

On the third day, until the afternoon, Dong Zhuo still didn't move. Geng Zhong had no news of digging tunnels, and Ji Ping was a little anxious.

He doesn't remember the specific time when Dong Zhuo poisoned He Hou in history, but it should only take three or five days. Moreover, now that Liu Xie ascended the throne, those scholars are also afraid that He Hou will rebound and all hope that He Hou will die. In this case, it is almost inevitable that Dong Zhuo will kill He Hou, and it is only a matter of time.

Ji Ping had a premonition at this time that if Dong Zhuo wanted to act, it would be tonight.

After dinner at dusk, the palace maid who delivered the meal left. Just when Ji Ping was anxious, he saw Geng Zhong not far from Donglin.

...

In Yong'an Palace, the sky was getting darker, and He Hou, who was wearing palace clothes, was dazed in front of the corridor again, his eyes were red and swollen, and his plain face was pale without a trace of blood.

The eunuch Pan Yin stood behind her.

Queen He was originally a strong woman, but in recent days she experienced major changes, from taking charge of the world to having nothing, her two brothers were killed, and her mother, Wuyang Jun, stayed in the palace and refused to leave, and now she was controlled. The most important thing is her son, who was in danger because she was stubborn in the imperial power, and now she didn't know her life and death, which made her heart burn and heartbroken.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, followed by a guard shouting: "General."

A voice shouted: "The lord is now ranked among the third Duke, and he has a noble status and will be called Duke Dong in the future."

"Empress, Dong Zhuo is here, come back to the bedroom." Pan Yin hurried to help Queen He.

Dong Zhuo is here? Thinking of his son's previous explanation, He Hou was shocked. With Pan Yin's support, he ran back to the bedroom. He closed the door and sat down. A voice shouted outside: "Empress Dowager, Mr. Dong is asking for a meeting."

Queen He trembled, touched the poisonous antidote in her arms, and gritted her teeth and said, "I have rested, I have so much inconvenience. Let Dong Qing come again tomorrow."

Pan Yin also looked pale.

Bang! The palace gate was forcibly opened, Dong Zhuo hung his long sword on his waist, twisted and walked in, and smiled drunk and said, "Empress Dowager, I have important matters to ask for my opinion."

Two servants followed him, but there was no Lu Bu who he regarded as a parent-child. It seemed that Ji Ping's disgusting move in the court played a role.

Empress He angrily scolded: "Dong Qing went to the palace late at night, what's the point?"

Dong Zhuo waved his hand to send the two servants away, took out a jade pot, came to Hehou, and said, "Empress Dowager, I give you two choices, one is to serve me, I guarantee you happiness and worry-freeness. The other is to drink this pot of poisonous wine and accompany you to the foolish emperor...hahahaha!"

"Bold! Dare to offend the Empress Dowager!" Pan Yin cursed and rushed towards Dong Zhuo, but was kicked down by Dong Zhuo.

"Rebel!" Empress He was shocked and angry and cursed: "How dare you have such a ridiculous and filthy heart, you will be punished by God! It is scolded by the people of the world!"

"Haha!" Dong Zhuo said with a laugh: "It's ridiculous, so how ridiculous I am as ridiculous as the foolish Emperor. I heard that he also let the palace maids get along with the dog. It's so ridiculous. Why should the Empress Dowager miss such a foolish monarch? And I followed me and be happy every day. How could the people in the world know about the affairs of the palace!"

After saying that, he was about to pull the sleeves of Hehou. Pan Yin hurriedly hugged Dong Zhuo on the ground and said loudly: "Escape quickly, Empress."

Empress He wanted to retreat, but Dong Zhuo was not bad at all. She couldn't retreat. Seeing that Dong Zhuo was about to pounce on him, Empress He pushed hard in shame and anger, but Dong Zhuo grabbed his arm. Empress He was angry and slapped Dong Zhuo, snatched the poisonous wine in his hand, and then raised her head and was about to drink it all.

"Empress!" Pan Yin cried anxiously.

Dong Zhuo was suddenly slapped, and most of the time he woke up. In a rage, he drew out his long sword, waved his sword, and cut off one of Pan Yin's arm.

Pan Yin's face was pale, blood was gushing wildly, but the remaining arm was still holding Dong Zhuo's legs tightly.

Dong Zhuo was splashed with blood on his face, his expression became even more ferocious. He kicked Pan Yin away with a fierce kick, waved his sword and was about to cut toward He Hou.

Suddenly, with a strange sound, a big green snake suddenly rushed out of the darkness, wrapped around Dong Zhuo's waist and abdomen, swung its tail and knocked the long sword in his hand to the ground.

"Ah! Ah!" Dong Zhuo screamed strangely, and with both hands, he struggled hard to run outside the bedroom, and said, "Big Snake, there is another big Snake, save me!"

Almost at the same time, several people ran out from behind the bedroom, and they were Ji Ping and Geng Zhong.

When Ji Ping saw He Hou falling to the ground, he hurriedly ran over, but saw a layer of blue-black on He Hou's pale face, his body trembled, and he looked at him with his eyes open, as if he was surprised and happy, as if he was nostalgic, and regretful... His lips moved, and he could not make a sound, but tears kept flowing out.

Pan Yin, who fell on the side, hissed: "Your Majesty, save the Queen Mother quickly."

Ji Ping was shocked and hurriedly took out the antidote, chewed it into pieces and took it to his mother. He then snatched the kettle that had been prepared from Geng Zhong's hand and gave his mother water and medicine.

After drinking the water, the blue color on He Hou's face faded slightly, but it was poisonous and twitched from time to time in pain. He opened his mouth and murmured: "Bian'er... go quickly..."

Ji Ping wiped the tears from his mother's face, and felt scared. Fortunately, Geng Zhong and others found some intertwined secret passages inside the Yong'an Palace, so they could arrive at Hehou's bedroom in time. Otherwise, if they were a little late, their mother might have died.

At the same time, he was also a little lucky. It should be that his jokes from the court that day played a role and separated the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo did not bring Lu Bu this time, otherwise it would be the same as Xiao Qing's danger, but whether he could save his mother was still the same.

October, who was standing aside, also hurriedly helped Pan Yin bandage the wound.

At this time, a noisy sound came from outside.

Ji Ping looked at his mother's painful and powerless look and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He listened to Dong Zhuo's panic screams, and was even more angry. He turned to look at Geng Zhong and whispered: "You guys go out secretly to see if you can find an opportunity to chop Dong Zhuo?"

Now that Lu Bu is not here, they may be able to fight and chop off Dong Zhuo’s old dog!

At this moment, a noise came from outside, but the guards guarding Yong'an Palace heard Dong Zhuo's shout and rushed into the palace.

Damn, Dong Zhuo, this old dog is so lucky!

The opportunity has passed, and it is urgent to send your mother out first.

He was a little worried about Xiaoqing. After all, Dong Zhuo's guards had swords and swords. Xiaoqing was not invulnerable to swords and guns. He whistled, recalled Xiaoqing, picked up He Hou again, and said in a deep voice to Geng Zhong and the others: "Take Pan Yin with you and retreat quickly."

There is a secret passage behind the palace of He Hou. This interlaced underground secret passage in the palace of the Hou Hou is a special case of the Han Dynasty. Later generations were discovered at the Changle Palace site of the Western Han Dynasty. Some people believe that it was the use of concubines and love, while others believe that it was the product of the Han Dynasty's relatives in power and the empress dowager.

Ji Ping didn't care how this tunnel came about. He hugged his mother and was about to get off the tunnel. At this moment, Xiaoqing crawled back with some blood on his body.

Immediately afterwards, the two guards shouted and chased in. When they saw Ji Ping, they were shocked and were about to call, but they were secretly suppressed by Geng Zhong and others who were hiding at the door first.

Ji Ping looked at Xiaoqing's body with several wounds, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, and said in a deep voice: "Geng Zhong, don't use a sword to strangle them to death, pretending to be entangled by Xiaoqing."

Seeing the two Qiang and Hu soldiers strangled to death, Ji Ping's heart was like an ancient well. He tore off a piece of cloth from his mother's clothes and handed it to Geng Zhong: "Damn the fragments of the clothes and throw them on the ground."

A moment later, a group of soldiers rushed into He Hou's bedroom, but only saw some broken cloth and blood, as well as the two guards who were "hanged to death" by the big snake.

On the same day, Dong Zhuo said he was sick in the mansion. Two days later, he announced that He was eaten by a big snake in the palace and buried in Wenling with his clothes and hats, and ordered all officials not to wear mourning.

There is a side hall in Huailing Mountain, Beimang, where Geng Zhong and Duan Jin are guarding outside the door.

In the hall, Empress He lay quietly on the couch, looking at her son happily, feeling the joy of surviving the disaster.

Ji Ping frowned and applied a needle to He Hou, and dense sweat oozed out of his forehead.

After giving him, he removed the remaining toxins in his body, using the pair of bone needles given to him by Shi Taoren. This bone needle can transmit the strange aura in his body.

Ji Ping didn't know if it was useful, but more than a month ago, he helped Huo Xiaoyu get rid of dysmenorrhea, which was quite effective.

After that, he kept the bone needles in close contact. The night before, he realized that the breath in his body could remove poison, and he had the initial idea of ​​acupuncture and poison removal in his mind. Now he tried it on his body. Whether it succeeds or not, his strange breath is always good or bad for the body.

Half an hour later, He Hou vomited a mouthful of black blood, his face became paler, but there was no trace of green air, and He Hou himself did not have the pain and numbness of the remaining poison.

Ji Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, regardless of He Hou's opposition, he asked Geng Zhong to send He Hou and Pan Yin to Hedong County.

The rescue of his mother, Queen He, greatly increased his confidence. In any case, Queen He was poisoned to death by Dong Zhuo in history. Now, he has changed some things after all, at least he has freed his mother from fate.

This is a breakthrough, and he finally broke through a trace of the shackles of the historical trend.

He would have to return to the palace, otherwise if Dong Zhuo found out that he was missing, he would probably search all over the world and even find secret passages.

Moreover, in addition, he had to plan another thing, one thing he suddenly thought of when he dug through the tunnels that Geng Zhong and others was Taicang and Arsenal, which he had coveted for a long time.

Now Geng Zhong and others have dug through the tunnel from Xiyuan, through Beigong, and to Yong'an Palace. On the north side of Yong'an Palace are Taicang and Armory, which are guarded by Dong Zhuo.

Ji Ping thought, just as a big ticket, and asked Geng Zhong and others to add another effort to dig the tunnel into Taicang and the arsenal, and secretly smuggle the food and weapons stored there as his capital to get up in the future.

As for his own safety, he brought a long sword and a rope this time. Geng Zhong asked October to wait near Donglin Pavilion every day to support him. Once there is danger, he can escape from the window with his current strength and skills.
