With this contact, Ye Chu quietly handed the token that could prove his identity to Lin Muxuan under the cover of his wide sleeves.

"Take this thing and go to Zhuyin Temple to look for the Empress Dowager. The capital is in critical condition right now. I am under the control of others, so it is inconvenient for me to confront Ye Kang. The only one who can come back to turn the tide is the Empress Dowager!"

Lin Muxuan's eyes lit up when he heard the hurried voice in his ear.He put the token into his sleeve pocket without any trace, and quietly stepped back.

It was inconvenient for the doctor to stay in the inner house for a long time, and a servant woman came to watch him not long after.These women who rushed over had sharp eyes, not only staring at the doctor, but also at Ye Chu and her trusted female officer.

Ye Chu watched the servants coming and going without realizing it, and at the end he just said "I'm tired", and asked people to pack up and get ready to rest.

Lin Muxuan left the back house with the doctor, both of them knew medical principles, Lin Muxuan lowered his posture and deliberately asked for advice, so he chatted happily with the old doctor on the road.

They looked quite familiar, and when they went out, the familiar faces of the old doctor were there, so Lin Muxuan was less difficult to check.

Seeing that the task was accomplished, he casually found a reason to escape, then returned to his temporary residence in Ye's house, and told Wen Zheng what happened tonight.

Wen Zheng took a look at the token that Lin Muxuan put on the table, it was a polished phoenix hairpin.The pigeon's blood ruby ​​was held in the mouth of the phoenix, and it shone with a luxurious and incomparable light under the candlelight.

"This is something that only empresses can wear, and it is also an item that Chu Er became an empress, and the empress dowager ordered someone to deliver it to her."

Wen Zheng couldn't help sighing, it seems that the only way to break the situation now is to invite the Queen Mother back from Zhuyin Temple to fight against Ye Kang.

Although the queen mother has been devoting herself to worshiping Buddha in Zhuyin Temple, Wen Zheng knows that people will not be so clean as long as they are touched by the desire for power... I hope that the queen mother will be invited as a rescuer this time, so that no one will be left behind troubles.

The matter was urgent, Wen Zheng didn't dare to delay, so he and Lin Muxuan managed to leave Ye's house that night.

But at this time, the Ye family was heavily guarded, and when the two came in, they had passed the inspection by pretending to be distant relatives in charge.

But now they didn't have anyone to recommend them, and the guards guarding near Ye's house refused to let them go. Under interrogation, they felt more and more suspicious.

"How can the master let the servants go out to buy things at such a late hour... You two look a little strange, do you want to be runaway slaves?" The guard's eyes flashed fiercely, and he guessed otherwise.

There are many slaves in the rich family who are not willing to serve others. They took advantage of the night to flee with the belongings of the master's house. There are several similar incidents in the capital every year.

For such things, powerful families usually arrest them and impose family law in the courtyard in front of all servants.Among the servants who escaped and were caught back, those who were lucky could be killed, and those who were unlucky would be beaten to death.

As a guard who catches people, he will naturally be rewarded accordingly.

The guard licked his lips greedily, already seeing that Lin Muxuan and Wen Zheng didn't have the corresponding ID badges and master's warrants, so he thought of taking them down as soon as possible, charging them with the charge of fugitive slaves, so as to claim credit for himself .

The two looked at each other, neither willing to stand still.

Because of Ye Kang's intentions, the Ye family has now become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, not a place where they can stay for a long time.

Although the guard's reason for taking them down did not necessarily involve the struggle for imperial power, Wen Zheng was worried that things would change for a long time, especially if the Ye family told Ye Kang that the old fox would be alerted.

With such thoughts in mind, Wen Zheng took the lead and knocked out the guards blocking the back door.Lin Muxuan looked left and right, walked quickly to the stable and pulled out two fast horses.

"Can your body still hold on to riding a horse?"

After getting on the horse, Lin Muxuan took the reins and glanced at Wen Zheng with disapproval.

He originally wanted to persuade Wen Zheng not to ride a horse because of his injuries, and he might not be able to bear it due to the relapse of the wound halfway... But seeing the latter's attitude was firm, and at this time there was a faint commotion in the Ye family to call people, so he could only sigh. With a sound, he and Wen Zheng rode their horses straight to where the Zhuyin Temple was located.

The servants of the Ye family have strict rules, and they need to report to the steward when someone gets up at night.Lin Muxuan and Wen Zheng went out in the middle of the night and did not return, the Ye family steward couldn't help feeling suspicious.

After all, both of them are new servants. Although they are in the relationship with other managers, they are not enough to win people's trust.

Ye Kang issued repeated orders at home, asking everyone to be vigilant, how dare you not take Ye Kang's words to heart?

"Could it be a runaway slave?"

Noticing the anomaly, the steward who led the servants to chase him rushed over, only to see the back door was wide open, and the guard at home who was guarding the door passed out.

The steward suddenly changed his face, and when the servants who followed him found that there were two fast horses missing from the stable, the fear in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

"Send someone to chase after them, these two people must not be simple people," the steward yelled loudly, and soon sent someone to call the captain of the guard who was patrolling the Ye family, "They just entered the mansion today, so they came here with preparations. I hurried out at night, I must have got something!"

Although the guard didn't know what valuables had been lost by the master's house, he was quite unhappy seeing the panicked look of the steward and the embarrassment of his subordinate who was knocked out by the door.

"Master Xiang issued a ban, saying that everyone should be careful in the past few days, but something happened today. When Master Xiang comes back, none of us will be able to escape punishment!"

The captain of the guard stomped his feet angrily, and after leaving these words, he led a few good brothers behind him to the stables, took the horses and chased them out.

Because of Ye Kang's ban on the capital city, there was a sudden turmoil in the city, and the people began to close their doors before dark, and very few people dared to continue walking at night.

The loud sound of horseshoes sounded in the empty market, pointing out the direction for the guards who were chasing.

At first they needed to identify them based on the imprints of the horseshoes, but later they could already see the figures of the two riders in front through the moonlight.

People from the two parties came to the gate of the city one after another. Lin Muxuan took out his token as the palace doctor, threw it to the soldiers guarding the city, and asked them to open the gate.

The tokens in the palace were genuine. Seeing the imperial physician rushing out, the guards guarded the city, thinking that a relative of the emperor outside the city had an emergency.

Where did they dare to delay, they immediately opened the city gate wide, and under Lin Muxuan's order, they closed the city gate again after the two riders left the city.

The guard of the Ye family, who was a step behind, threw out his identity token angrily, and only said that he was ordered by Ye Kang to find out that he was suspected of being a spy of the enemy country, and he was hunting down at this time.

The soldiers guarding the city felt overwhelmed when they heard this, how dare they get involved in these matters, they opened the city gate without saying a word, and let the guards of the Ye family go out.
