Chapter 365 If you wanted to harm me, my uncle would not have kept you here until now!
After Dongzi brought a few children into the house, he bowed to everyone.
After Li Xi's introduction, Li Cong realized that these young men were actually his granddaughter's subordinates, and each of them was so powerful that they were actually trained by his granddaughter herself.
Although I knew that Li Mulan was powerful, but... I didn't know she had such ability.
Li Cong looked proud, and then he thought of something and asked hurriedly, "The Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace and the Valley Master of Divine Doctor Valley are still at the mansion. Can you brothers go and take a look?"
Dongzi and Erbao looked at each other, and Erbao bowed to Li Cong, "Don't worry, Master. No one will go there. If they really go..." Erbao pursed his lips, "It's just bad luck for them."
Li Cong was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he was losing his mind. Who dares to touch the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace?
Suddenly, Dongzi turned around and flew out the door, "Who is it?"
Situ Tianming came over leisurely, carrying a sword, "Hey, Dongzi is here!"
Dongzi then put away his weapon, saluted respectfully, and said with a smile, "Fifth Master, why are you here too?"
Situ Tianming nodded, "I just came to take a look, I didn't expect you to be here, that's the best."
At this time, Li Xun followed out and bowed to Situ Tianming, "Please trouble Alliance Leader Situ to make this trip. My Li family will be grateful."
Situ Tianming waved his hand, "No need to be so polite, we are all family. Actually, my master is here, so you will be fine. I just ate too much at dinner, so I came over to take a walk. Okay, in that case, I'll go watch Master and the others play chess. You guys...go and do your own things."
After saying that, he tapped his toes and flew towards the yard where Mo Yan was.
Li Xun's face was full of admiration. His niece was really lucky to have so many people protecting her. Even by association, they were protected as well.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Xiao Linzi ran in hurriedly and almost fell down in his panic.
"Your Majesty, run! They are coming in. The palace gates are all closed, and all those who broke in are experts."
Chu Jie was reviewing the memorials carefully at the moment. When he heard Xiao Linzi's voice, he calmly put down his pen and asked, "Where are you?"
"Just reported that we have passed Chenghua Palace."
Chu Jie took his time and put away the memorial he had just reviewed. "Someone come."
"master."
"Bring the Queen Mother to the back hall."
"Yes."
After the secret guard left, Xiao Linzi looked anxious and said, "Your Majesty, why are we going to the back hall at this time if we don't run away?"
Chu Jie glanced at him and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Bring me a coat. It's cold at night."
"Yes Yes."
This little Linzi, Chu Jie doesn't have to worry about these things on weekdays, but today he seems to be frightened by this situation.
Isn't it? This is the imperial palace. Dare to break into the palace. This King Cheng really has no dignity at all. He is not afraid of being drowned by the spit of the world.
When the Empress Dowager came over, her face looked very ugly, and Nanny Qian beside her also looked pale.
Chu Jie didn't say anything, just bowed and took his people to the back hall.
More than a dozen secret guards appeared and provided close protection.
Arriving at the back hall, Chu Jie led his men to an empty courtyard where few people usually came.
Xiao Linzi asked softly, "Your Majesty, why are we here? Shouldn't we notify the Regent immediately?"
Chu Jie pushed open a door, and the dust rushed in his face, choking him and causing him to cough a few times. Xiao Linzi hurried over to stand in front of Chu Jie and shield him.
Chu Jie was not a squeamish person, he pushed the man away and said, "The emperor's uncle has his own things to do. All I can do now is to protect myself and not cause trouble for him."
Seeing that everyone had entered the house, Chu Jie glanced at the Empress Dowager and said nothing. Then he skillfully found the mechanism and opened the secret passage.
Several secret guards went in first, and only let the little emperor in after finding nothing unusual.
Chu Jie looked at the Empress Dowager, "Grandma, please go in."
The Empress Dowager had a dazed expression, but she did not hold back and was supported by Nanny Qian as she entered the secret passage.
Chu Jie followed closely behind. The secret passage was very long and it took them a quarter of an hour to reach a room.
The room was very simple, with a few simple tables and chairs, and they were covered in dust.
The Empress Dowager covered her mouth and nose with her hands, seeming to find it unbearable.
"Xiao Linzi, clean it up."
There was no response. Chu Jie looked back in confusion, "Xiao Linzi?"
"Hey, here I come, Your Majesty, I am here."
Chu Jie frowned, "What have you been doing? Clean it up so that the Empress Dowager can have a rest."
"Yes."
Xiao Linzi wiped the chair with his clothes and asked the Empress Dowager to sit down.
The Empress Dowager frowned and sat down, then she spoke, "Where's your uncle? He's not coming?"
Chu Jie said solemnly, "King Cheng brought an army of 100,000 here, and the emperor's uncle has his own things to do. I am the emperor, and I cannot rely on the emperor's uncle for everything."
"One hundred thousand troops?" The Empress Dowager stood up suddenly. "What does he want to do? Rebellion?"
Chu Jie sneered, "It's not been a day or two since he wanted to rebel. Grandmother, aren't you very clear about this?"
The Empress Dowager choked and pursed her lips, "Do you know his plan?"
"know."
"Do you know why it wasn't stopped sooner?"
Xiao Linzi wiped a chair clean and brought it to the emperor. Chu Jie sat down without any panic, "Why did you stop it?"
The Empress Dowager looked at the child in disbelief. It seemed that he was very different today and no longer as innocent as before.
Then, the Empress Dowager smiled bitterly. How many royal family members are naive?
"You knew King Cheng's plan all along?"
Chu Jie smiled, "I don't think I completely understand him. But is it hard to guess what he's thinking? Grandmother helped him enter the capital, so couldn't she guess a thing or two?"
The Empress Dowager's face turned visibly pale when she heard this. This child...
"I... didn't mean to hurt you."
"I know."
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt somewhat comforted, but before she could react, the little emperor's next words made her feel as if she was falling into an ice cave.
"If you wanted to harm me, my uncle wouldn't have kept you here until now!"
The Empress Dowager looked at the little emperor with complicated eyes. He looked so much like her son. They were indeed father and son.
I don't know how long it took, but there was some movement outside.
Chu Jie frowned. That's not right!
Sure enough, the sound of swords clashing was heard outside.
Chu Jie stood up suddenly. No one else knew about this secret passage. What was going on?
The little man looked at the people in the room with sharp eyes. Except for a few secret guards blocking the door, the rest were the Empress Dowager, her servants and Xiao Linzi.
When the Empress Dowager saw his expression, she immediately explained, "It's not me."
When Chu Jie's eyes swept over Nanny Qian, she had a confused look on her face and hadn't reacted yet.
