431. Chapter 431: This woman is cunning

As he spoke, the voice slowly faded away, and then, some noisy footsteps rushed from everywhere to the place where there was a flame, listening from the footsteps, Jian Ye and Jiang Shiwei glanced at each other, there are people with extremely high martial arts, there are also some rough minions, an abandoned courtyard, why are there so many people?

"I'm really worried that they'll wonder if someone set the fire on purpose. Jin Xi stroked his chest and said, "I'm scared to death, it seems that the security here is not as tight as I thought." ”

Rong Qingyi glanced at the position of Jin Xidu, in fact, it was just a black shadow, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see that it was a person squatting on a branch, and said slowly: "That's because they believe that no one will come here, or they suspect that a courtyard that has been abandoned for decades, they should have stayed here for a long time, except for some minions in the palace, it is estimated that no one has come to this place." ”

After waiting for a while, there was no sound of footsteps coming here from the direction of the Phoenix Pavilion, and Jian Ye and his party came down from the tree, leaving Jinxi to stay where they were, and the others walked in the direction of the Phoenix Pavilion.

Although it is not far from the Phoenix Pavilion, it is obvious that the situation here is worse than before, there are not so many trees and thorns, and the line of sight suddenly becomes wider, so that if it is not for the heavy night at this time, the lanterns hanging on the Phoenix Pavilion are not big, and they are swaying in the wind and rain, and their group will be discovered immediately, and they will not be able to hide people at all.

"Looking at it this way, there must be a Tao in the Phoenix Pavilion. Jiang Shiwei said again in an affirmative tone.

"Hmm. Jian Ye replied softly.

The door is closed, closed very tightly, and the door is not opened, and naturally it is not clear whether there is anyone in the gatehouse inside, and there is no one in front of the door, and it is very deserted.

Jiang Shiwei looked around in the dim light of the lantern, stretched out his hand and touched the gate and the stone platform in front of the door, and said softly: " There are no trees and thorns here, the ground is also very clean, it seems that someone has been cleaning, and the small stone platform in front of the door is also very smooth, indicating that there will be people sitting here guarding during the day, so treat an abandoned yard a little too carefully, if it is really a yard that has been abandoned for decades, at most it is to find a few old eunuchs to stay here, the palace is negligent in management, and the old eunuchs are not diligent, there should be weeds here, and the trees are dense with thorns. ”

Rong Qingyi ignored Jiang Shiwei's speculation, and only stared quietly at the gate of the Phoenix Pavilion in front of him, this gate was closed, how to get in?

"The walls of this palace are not short. Jiang Shiwei looked at Rong Qingyi with some schadenfreude, the light was unknown, but he stayed in the prison for a long time, and it was better to see things at night than during the day, seeing the hesitation on Rong Qingyi's face, "I have martial arts with Jian Ye, you can find a way to get in, and Jinzhong will not be a problem, you, if Jian Ye takes you with me, I'm afraid it won't work, if there is someone with superb martial arts inside, as soon as he hears the sound of landing, he knows that someone has broken into the courtyard, naturally he won't-hey, what are you going to do?!"

Rong Qingyi completely ignored Jiang Shiwei's ridicule, walked directly to the door, raised his hand and pulled the copper knocker on the door, in the night, the knocker made a crisp sound, startling everyone else.

Jiang Shiwei was just about to speak out again to stop him, when he heard someone inside ask dissatisfiedly, "Who is it?"

"The emperor sent me down to take a look, why is there a sudden noise here, what is the fire outside?" Rong Qingyi asked in a somewhat shrill voice, covering up her original voice, at first glance it sounded a little like the voice of the princess, and she couldn't hear that it was a woman at all, and there was some anger in her voice, "The queen mother and the emperor's mother and son have gossiped for a while, and you have made such a disturbance here, are you looking for death!"

The people inside probably didn't react for a moment, and then said, "Who are you? Haven't you always been here?"

"Are you deaf?" Rong Qingyi stood in front of the door, adding three points of arrogance to his tone, "I just said that the Queen Mother is chatting with the emperor's mother and son, and the things here have always been hidden from the Queen Mother, the prince is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he can't leave for a while, so you should be willing to come here! Although the rumors are a bit exaggerated, they must be somewhat credible, and I am afraid that I will lose my life here." Open the door, it's stormy outside, and I'm not in the mood to be wordy here, and the emperor is still waiting to talk back. ”

Someone approached the door, and then the bolt was opened, Jiang Shiwei's eyes widened, he glanced at Jian Ye, and stood against the wall next to the door with the three of Jinzhong, and said to Jian Ye with his mouth: Scare me a lot!

The person inside opened the door and glanced at Rong Qingyi, who was standing at the door, dressed in black, hanging his head slightly, unable to see his facial features, looking a little thin, it seemed to be a young father-in-law, looking at the figure was the first time he saw it, the person only opened a small half of the fan, and blocked it with his body.

"How come I've never seen you?" the man looked Rong Qingyi up and down.

Rong Qingyi raised his head, glanced at the man coldly, and said disdainfully: "It's just that you have won the emperor's trust and sent you to guard here, what you want is nothing more than a wave, you made such a big move, so that the emperor had to send someone to ask for news, there are so many people around the emperor, do you have to know you to do it? It really makes the prince spoiled!"

Although the man still blocked the open half of the door, and his tone was not as stiff as at first, he still asked with a skeptical attitude: "Why don't you wear your father-in-law's clothes, but you get such a black dress?"

"Phew!" Rong Qingyi raised her voice slightly, "Which eye did you see that I was a father-in-law?!The father-in-law next to the emperor is a servant, but he is a good person below! The queen mother is there with the emperor, if she is dressed in the emperor's palace, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be discovered, and it is a matter of careful investigation, this is still taught by Aunt Fen, everything should be low-key!"

When the man heard Rong Qingyi mention Aunt Fen, his expression relaxed, opened the door, and let Rong Qingyi enter the courtyard, and was about to turn around and close the door, but he heard Rong Qingyi's voice, "What is this?"

The man was startled by Rong Qingyi's sudden raised voice, first looked anxiously at the direction Rong Qingyi pointed, Rong Qingyi took a few steps in one direction, stopped, the person didn't care about closing the door, hurriedly followed, thinking that this was the person in front of the emperor, and it was another person who came, it would be fine, and he didn't notice that the moment he walked away, the three people outside had already flashed into the courtyard.

It seemed that some wind was blowing in from outside the door, the man walked to Rong Qingyi's side and stopped, and looked back at the door vigilantly, the door was hidden, there was no one, he was not at ease, and he didn't care to see what strange things Rong Qingyi saw, and hurriedly returned to cover the door.

Rong Qingyi's sense of smell was very sensitive, she had already smelled the hellish cold aura on Jiang Shiwei's body near her, knowing that the three people outside the door had already come in, she breathed a sigh of relief slightly, straightened her body, and waited for the person to close the door and walk back.

"I don't know what you saw?" The person came back again, although he didn't know the identity and status of this person, but since the other party was from the emperor's side, and he was taken care of by Aunt Fen, he must be a person with a special status, and there would be nothing wrong with an honorific title in this tone.

Rong Qingyi patted his chest, as if he was shocked, "What the hell is this place?!" No wonder when she came, Aunt Fen told me not to be surprised no matter what I saw, the prince came here before, and never talked about things here with him, and I couldn't blame him, he has always been a strict-mouthed minion, which is why he has the emperor's trust, but what kind of hell place is this! Can people live here? In the end, it is the emperor, the emperor's thoughts, I really can't guess!"

Jiang Shiwei listened to Rong Qingyi talking there, and almost didn't laugh out loud, this woman is really cunning enough!

Jian Ye frowned slightly, he understood Rong Qingyi's surprise, here, it was not as clean as in front of the gate, the line of sight was open, but overgrown with weeds, the trees were mixed with thorns, the tall trees were very thick, the branches and leaves were also dense, darker than the sight outside, and the whole courtyard was almost like a ghost castle.

How can such a place be inhabited?

However, since there is no one living there, why does the emperor still care so much about this place?

"I don't know what you are doing next to the emperor?" the man asked hesitantly, unable to guess Rong Qingyi's true identity at all, but he was so frightened by her tone that he didn't dare to stare directly at Rong Qingyi's face.

"Below?" Rong Qingyi glanced at the man and said in an arrogant tone, It's an errand that doesn't often move in the palace, and you don't know it, but you can sue you, lest you look down on it, and the errand under is responsible for contacting a very important person outside for the emperor, and it is responsible for keeping a good eye on King Jian's mansion, and you probably know that Prince Jian is very loyal to our emperor, and the emperor is also very satisfied with him, but I am afraid that Prince Jian and Princess Jian have a deep relationship with each other, and if the Queen Mother detects something, it will be a big deal. ”

Jian Ye felt that Jiang Shiwei bumped himself with his elbow, glanced at Jiang Shiwei, and vaguely saw the ridicule on Jiang Shiwei's face, as if to say: This person in your family dares to talk about King Jian's Mansion and his own father-in-law and mother-in-law!

Jian Ye only smiled slightly, and didn't pay attention to Jiang Shiwei, he knew that if Rong Qingyi said something wrong at this time, if he said something wrong, he would be suspected by the person in front of him, saying that she was the most familiar one, and it was best to confuse the public, even if this person asked something, it would be easy for her to answer.

Over there, Rong Qingyi continued to look around, his eyes were full of darkness, and he couldn't see anything, only that the wind was blowing, there were no lanterns inside, only some faint candlelight in the gatehouse, which was very terrifying.

"It turned out to be a guard. The man breathed a sigh of relief, his tone and expression becoming more relaxed.
