Chapter 456: The Storm Rises (28)

"So...... He didn't lie to me...... Mochen's ....... that guy."

Xia Qing muttered to herself, and the powder in her hand was completely sprinkled by her. She frowned, and there were countless doubts in her heart.

"I don't know what you're hearing. But what I know here is that the boss behind your Drunken Immortal Mansion should not be a person from the palace. ”

"What? Not from the palace?"

"Yes. Although I am not in the capital all the year round, I am mixed in the rivers and lakes, but the things in the court, King Rui will still tell me. According to the words of our spies here, the Drunken Immortal Tower has nothing to do with the people of the Imperial Palace. If they had anything to do with the palace, King Rui and I would naturally not have gone there. ”

After listening to Bai Yushi's words, Xia Qing's hanging heart finally let go of a little, but she still couldn't completely relax. The doubts in my heart came up again.

"If it's not in the palace or the court, then it must be someone in the rivers and lakes, is that what it means?"

Xia Qing lowered his eyes and looked at the swarthy ground, he really didn't dare to imagine who the person behind the curtain was. There was a name that was constantly stirring in her heart, but she didn't dare to confirm it. She was afraid.

She was worried that the name would come true, but she was even more worried about how she would face this person after the name came true. Perhaps, if she didn't know about it, she would be much easier. But now, she already knew that there was no way back.

"Naturally, it is. On the rivers and lakes, there should not be many people who can have the means, the ability, and the ability to get their hands on such a huge Qinglou that has existed for so long........."

"So, do you have a choice in mind?"

Xia Qing found that when she said this, she was trembling unconsciously. She thought that she would be calmer, but she didn't expect that she would tremble so much.

"I have such a candidate in my heart, but I don't know if I want to say it. ”

Bai Youshi patted his big face, raised his eyebrows, and looked a little frivolous, "I'm afraid that the person who said it will collide with the one in your heart, and when you cry for me here, it will be troublesome........"

"Don't worry, I won't cry. Who is this person, I just want to know, if it is really that person I can't ......."

"Okay, then I'll say it. But first, this is my guess, and I haven't been verified. ”

"Good. I'm just ....... curious to know if it's ...... him."

"Mochen. ”

Before Bai Yu Shi could finish speaking, he had already said the name on his lips.

Xia Qing's eyes widened, and her mouth opened wide.

"Mo...... Mochen?"

She blinked, confused. The name wasn't the one in her heart. She thought that the man,

It's Qu Ziyan.

"Isn't this the person you just thought?"

Bai Youshi tilted his head, and a seemingly nonexistent smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "That's the best, I was just guessing." After all, over the years, in addition to making money and comparing prices, Zuixianlou has been quite low-key at other times, so I haven't checked it carefully, but with some understanding of that guy, I feel that he must have more than one identity........."

"Yes, the person I am thinking about is not him..... but since you think it is Mo Chen, it is him, after all, you know more about this thing....... if it is him, then it is normal for Shunzi Xiang to appear here, he is the godson of the prime minister, if the emperor wants to get something from him, it is normal. ”

Xia Qing took out a small handkerchief, picked up some of the ashes of Shunzixiang and put them up.

"What are you trying to do here?"

"I'm going to take some back, I'm going to ask Mei Niang what's going on. By the way, I also want to ask Mochen........"

"This kind of thing, you'd better not ask directly, the more you know, the more you won't do any good........"

"But I know enough, not much...... Did you find something there?"

"I found it, but not the one we were looking for. It's a ...... Something useful. ”

Bai Yushi's voice sounded very leisurely, and compared to the nervous appearance just now, he was very relaxed now. It just means that he's found something very nice.

"I haven't looked here yet, I'll look for it now........"

"Is there anyone in there?"

"I just heard a voice, too. ”

"Hey, look, those palace people have fallen!"

Bai Yu Shi pressed Xia Qing's head, and took her to hide behind the screen.

Just now, when Xia Qing got up to look for something, there was a voice outside.

"There must be someone in there! Hurry up and find someone! If something goes wrong, we'll all have to lose our heads!"

"Yes!"

The people outside blew up all of a sudden, and immediately took action.

Xia Qing and Bai Youshi hid behind the screen, and her hands were cold with fright. Bai Yu was quite calm, just carefully covering Xia Qing's mouth.

"Don't make a sound. ”

He whispered in her ear, the moist and warm breath swept over Xia Qing's ears, and she couldn't help blushing.

"Uh-huh........"

She nodded very slowly, her face flushed.

"Your Excellency, here you are! We suspect there is a suspicious character inside!"

Outside, several guards were holding spears in their hands, cautiously waiting for orders. A man who appeared to be a prefect stood not far away, squinting at the door of the inner sanctum.

"Someone's in there?"

"Yes! There were a few palace people who fell down there just now, and we suspect that someone had knocked them down with drugs, and there was a teapot over there, which should have been thrown there by the person who slipped in. ”

A guard stood next to the man, reporting carefully.

They are also responsible for today's affairs. Didn't look at it here, this sin is a felony. It's okay if it doesn't spread out, but if it is passed out and the emperor knows about it, their heads will never be saved.

"You've been guarding?"

"Yes, I've been here since I found it. That traveler was definitely still in there. ”

"Since you know that there are assassins, why don't you go in and look for it, and it is a fool to stand guard outside the door!"

The chief slapped the guard on the head, and his face hated that iron could not become steel.

"What is the emperor doing with your group of rice buckets!

"My lord, spare your life!

The guard knelt on the ground, and the spears in his hands fell to the ground with him, making a crisp sound.

"Don't go in and look for it, are you going to let me collect your body here?"

"Yes!"

The guards heard the chief's order and kicked open the door of the inner hall of the Shaohua Palace.

It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.

A few guards carefully held their spears and walked around to check.

"Search me carefully, if anything, none of you will survive tonight!"

"Yes!"
