Chapter 142 The Emperor's Favored Concubine is Heartbroken (38)

Just now, when Concubine Shen entered the room, he was worried that something might happen to her.

For a moment, he even regretted taking Concubine Shen out of the palace.

If anything happened to her in there, he would blame himself for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, Concubine Shen was safe and returned to him unharmed.

"Now that you have the things, why do you look so unhappy?" Shen Qingjiao looked at Helian Yu with his lips tightly pursed, and laughed teasingly.

Helian Yu then noticed his own loss of composure, and looking at Shen Qingjiao's beautiful face, he had a feeling of regaining what he had lost.

After calming down a little, Helian Yu said calmly, "Nothing, now that we have the things, let's go back to that house immediately."

Shen Qingjiao was about to nod when she suddenly remembered something, and told Helian Yu that before going to the mansion, they had to go to a place first to buy a necessary item.

Helian Yu was a little puzzled, but he chose to believe Shen Qingjiao unconditionally.

So, the group came to the cloth shop next to the brothel.

Shen Qingjiao bought a piece of black cloth.

Cut the black face scarf and headscarf into seven pieces according to the number of people.

Afterwards, she kept one copy for herself and handed the remaining six to Helian Yu, explaining softly.

“When we go to the neighborhood later, we need to wear black scarves and headscarves to hide our identities so that others don’t remember our faces and cause trouble.”

Helian Yu chuckled and nodded in praise, "You are still the most careful."

The group came to the alley next to the house.

Before the shift change time, Helian Yu immediately ordered his men to tie up the two people in front of the residential compound gate.

The guards stuffed their mouths with rags, dragged them into the alley, and reported to Helian Yu.

Then, Helian Yu ordered all the guards to enter the inner courtyard and capture all the guards inside alive.

The guards took orders and jumped into the high wall together.

After a fierce fight, things soon returned to calm.

The guard came back and reported, "Reporting to the Third Prince, all the guards have been captured."

Helian Yu nodded and whispered to Shen Qingjiao, "Let's go in and take a look."

Led by the guards, the two came to the door of the underground armory.

The heavy iron gate blocked the two people's way.

Shen Qingjiao took out the key from her arms and handed it to Helian Yu.

Helian Yu took the key and opened the iron door, and it was pitch black inside.

A guard nearby immediately lit a torch.

The fire immediately illuminated the entire underground armory, allowing Shen Qingjiao to clearly see the furnishings inside the armory.

Looking around, countless knives, swords, guns, spears and other weapons were arranged neatly, with sharp blades and flashing terrifying light.

What surprised Shen Qingjiao the most was that there were five cannons at the innermost part of the warehouse!

Shen Qingjiao was secretly amazed. Prince Jing was so powerful that he could even get his hands on cannons.

Looking around, she found two large brown barrels behind the door and asked Helian Yu curiously, "Third Prince, what's in there?"

Helian Yu immediately signaled his men to go and check.

"Prince, there is a large amount of oil inside." The guard replied after confirmation.

Shen Qingjiao guessed that Prince Jing might have placed the oil barrels here because he was worried that the location of the arsenal would be leaked one day.

Once the people inside discovered that something was wrong outside, they would pour oil on the weapons and set them on fire, thus burning down the armory.

Shen Qingjiao's lips curled up.

However, Prince Jing does not have to wait until that day.

Now, she was kind enough to help him.

So, Shen Qingjiao looked at Helian Yu and said, "Third Prince, I just found the waist badge of Prince Jing's Mansion on the steward. In other words, this arsenal is most likely owned by Prince Jing."

"Prince Jing is not a good person. Now that we have come to the armory, we might as well burn it down to prevent Prince Jing from using these things to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate."

Helian Yu nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll do as your Majesty wishes."

He was not interested in these weapons and had no grudges against Prince Jing.

But since Concubine Shen said she wanted to burn this place down, he listened to her.

Under Helian Yu's order, the guards poured the oil in the oil barrel onto the weapons.

After that, everyone exited the armory.

The person closest to the warehouse threw the torch in.

When the torch met the oil, there was a bang and a line of fire burned up, illuminating the entire armory.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the line of fire had formed a wall of fire.

The fire spread quickly. In just a few breaths, half of the armory was on fire, with thick smoke and flames rising.

After brushing off the dust on her body, Shen Qingjiao was in a good mood and shouted to Helian Yu, "It's done perfectly! Let's go back."

Helian Yu nodded, and the group returned to the ground and walked towards the gate of the house.

But as soon as they walked out of the house, a group of men in black suddenly fell from the sky.

Looking at the murderous man in black in front of her, Shen Qingjiao's pupils shrank slightly.

This is how the same thing?

It's clearly not time yet, how come the next shift to take over has arrived so soon?

The system was also surprised, and finally understood after checking.

"Host, your drug could have made the butler unconscious for half an hour, but the butler had received similar training and woke up quickly. When he found that the key was missing, he immediately sent someone over."

Shen Qingjiao sighed heavily.

But it’s too late to regret now.

She counted the men in black in front of her, there were twenty-five of them.

And on their side, excluding her, there were only six people.

The difference in numbers was too great. If she wasn't careful, she might lose her life here.

The men in black began to surround them, gradually shrinking the encirclement.

In the sunlight, the swords in their hands gleamed coldly, like the god of death descending to the earth.

Helian Yu frowned and was about to fight his way out.

Behind him, a loud shout suddenly came, "No fighting in the street!"

Shen Qingjiao was overjoyed.

This is Huo Haochu's voice.

Turning around, she saw Huo Haochu leading a large group of soldiers towards her.

A rough count revealed that there were about twenty people.

Shen Qingjiao's heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

Including the people on Helian Yu's side, their total number now exceeds that of the men in black on the opposite side!

When the man in black saw Huo Haochu and the soldiers behind him, his face froze.

The leading man in black gritted his teeth, raised his hand and ordered, "Retreat!"

A few seconds later, the man in black disappeared.

Only Shen Qingjiao, Helian Yu and their group were left there.

Shen Qingjiao didn't dare to recognize Huo Haochu.

She sneaked out of the palace this time. It would be terrible if Huo Haochu discovered her identity.

So she lowered her head and pinched her throat to shout, "Thank you for your help, sir."

After saying that, Shen Qingjiao reached out and pulled the corner of He Lianyu's clothes, and whispered, "Let's go back to the palace quickly."

He Lianyu nodded, "Okay."

Huo Haochu's gaze was fixed on the thinnest person in the team ahead.

Just now, when he and that person's eyes met, he always felt that the other person's eyes seemed to be seen somewhere before.

Looking at his figure again, there is a sense of familiarity.

Helian Yu, Shen Qingjiao and their group began to move towards the palace gate.

Huo Haochu became suspicious and shouted loudly, "Stand still!"

When Shen Qingjiao heard this, she felt something was wrong. She gave Helian Yu a look and ran away.

Seeing that the man did not listen to his orders and instead ran away in a hurry, Huo Haochu narrowed his narrow eyes and his face became gloomy.

He waved his hand and ordered the soldiers behind him, "Capture them for me!"
