Xiao Wanyao reacted sensitively and asked, "Miss Yanran is for Shangguan Yunfan?" It seems that you must have known each other for a long time, otherwise why would Miss Yanran risk her life for this matter. ”

Yanran looked at Xiao Wanyao, if she only talked about her appearance, she was the same as her, but she knew that there was a big difference between people, and the reason why Shangguan Yunfan paid for her regardless of the cost must be for a reason, and she came for that reason, and also for a curiosity about her.

Seeing Yanran staring at herself strangely, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "If it's inconvenient for Yanran girl to speak, you don't need to speak." ”

Yanran smiled and didn't say anything more, she wanted to know what she was worthy of someone like him, and if she was the one who replaced his most beloved money and filled the emptiness in his heart, "I'm afraid I'm going to stay here today, and tomorrow I'll dress up as a queen and go to visit the scenery in the palace......"

Speaking of this, there was a sly look in her eyes, and Zhu'er and Xiao Wanyao naturally understood the deep meaning in those eyes.

That night, Yanran and Xiao Wanyao slept in the same bed, and the two of them barely slept. Yan Ran asked a lot of things, most of them about the matter between Xiao Wanyao and Shangguan Yunfan. Then I asked Xiao Wanyao what she likes to do on weekdays, how to get along with Guo Ping, and other things. After all, Yanran is here, she will inevitably meet Guo Ping, and she must not let Guo Ping find out who she is.

Because here, in addition to Zhu'er and Cui'er, it is Guo Ping who knows Xiao Wanyao the best.

Early the next morning, Yanran and Xiao Wanyao got up at the same time, and Zhu'er, in order to prevent other people from knowing, claimed that the queen was a little tired and got up later. After that, he quietly brought a set of palace maid's clothes and sent it in. Yanran put on the queen's clothes, and Xiao Wanyao changed into the palace maid's clothes.

Zhu'er looked at Yanran, who changed into the queen's dress, and grew her mouth again in shock, she was exactly the same as Xiao Wanyao, especially when she put away her edge and learned Xiao Wanyao's every move, she was simply the same person.

After a qiē was ready, Yanran said, "Okay, I'll take you out for a walk, and you can adapt when the time comes." ”

Zhu'er paused and reminded, "The queen mother, you have to call yourself the palace, you can't say me again, although the queen often talks about me in front of the emperor, but try not to say this, it will be suspected by other ill-intentioned people." ”

Yan Ran paused slightly, "Someone else? Zhu'er nodded and said while helping Yanran sort out her clothes, "Naturally, those people in the harem who have never been used to looking down on the queen mother." ”

Yanran glanced back at Xiao Wanyao, "What if they provoked me?" What to do? ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled indifferently, "Do what you want, just grasp the proportions." With her words, Yan Ran raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a wicked smile, after all, she grew up in the people, and she lived and did things very casually, there were many rules in the palace, and she couldn't learn so many things at all. So sometimes there is still a little bit of Xiao Wanyao's charm between gestures.

Fortunately, Zhu'er will always be by her side and remind her at all times, which makes Xiao Wanyao feel much more at ease.

After a few people were ready, they took a few palace maids out of Xiyun Palace together, and arrived in the back garden, it was winter at this time, and there was more than a month to reach the end of the year, and the best scenery in the back garden was the winter snow plum, which was in full bloom.

The concubines of the harem often come here to enjoy the flowers, and Yanran walked in front, and soon after entering the merlin, she said that she was a little tired and wanted to take a rest. After that, Zhu'er and Xiao Wanyao, who pretended to be a palace maid, helped her to a nearby pavilion to rest.

There Xiao Wanyao changed into the clothes of the attendants, and in the morning it was time to change shifts, so she had to catch up with the patrol guards on night duty before they left the palace. As soon as the qiē went very smoothly, the captain of the patrol guard rushed to pick up Xiao Wanyao, and several people didn't say anything, and quickly sent her away.

After that, Yanran let out a sigh of relief, looked at the snow plum outside the pavilion, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "Zhu'er, let's go enjoy the flowers, the plum blossoms here are blooming very well." ”

Zhu'er nodded and reminded again, "Queen Mother, you should call yourself this palace." ”

However, Yanran had already gotten up and walked out, forgetting what Zhu'er had said. Zhu'er chased after her helplessly, hoping that she could get through the tricks.

This plum garden is very close to the East Palace, here in the southeast corner, and farther away from the West Cloud Palace, but the snow plum here is the best one in the entire palace. So despite the cold winter, the concubines of the harem also like to come here to enjoy the flowers.

Yan Ran is only interested in money and treasures, but she has no talent for flower appreciation, and the reason why she still stays here is because she knows that there is a priceless sword in the palace. So she was thinking about how to get in, and she was also observing the patrolling guards near the Imperial Palace. This was very important for her to fall into the East Palace at night to steal.

Just when Yanran came to a corner of the wall, separated from the East Palace, she suddenly heard a woman's voice from the woods. Yanran and Zhu'er couldn't help but look over there, and heard the woman say coquettishly, "That side is the East Palace, where the emperor and I used to live for many years." ”

Zhu'er's voice was Huo Yongdie's, she didn't want Yanran to meet Huo Yongdie, so she stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, it's a little cold here, let's go back." ”

Yanran also heard what the person said, she had lived in the East Palace before, so she didn't listen to Zhu'er's words, and walked towards her curiously, and when Huo Yongdie and Shi Xuezhen saw the queen, they couldn't help but be stunned. Xiao Wanyao is the most afraid of the cold, so she rarely walks so far to enjoy the flowers here. The two of them would come over often, but it was the first time they had seen the queen here.

Yan Ran didn't know these two people, but looking at their clothes and the fact that there were so many palace maids and eunuchs behind them, she knew that they must be concubines in the harem. Zhu'er was worried that Yanran would make a mistake, so she stepped forward and whispered to remind her, "The one on the left is the virtuous concubine Huo Yongdie, and the other is Shi Guiren who was just summoned into the palace by the emperor not long ago. ”

Yan Ran was extremely smart, standing in place and glaring at the two of them, Huo Yongdie and Shi Xuezhen glanced at each other, although they were displeased, they still couldn't help but step forward and salute, "The concubine sees the queen's mother!" ”

"Get up! You two have the heart to enjoy the flowers here. Yan Ran said with a cold face.

Huo Yongdie remembered the four slaps she received when she saw her, although the emperor said that he wanted to support himself, but he heard that he went to Xiao Wanyao's place, but he was drunk and spent the night with her, and he didn't know how this fox spirit confused the emperor.

Yan Ran also noticed Huo Yongdie staring at her with resentment on her face, and snorted coldly in her heart. Shi Xuezhen saw that Huo Yongdie didn't speak, she had just come to the palace not long ago, and she didn't want to offend the queen because of this, so she stepped forward and saluted, "The concubines and concubines have nothing to do, so they often come here to enjoy the flowers. ”

Yan Ran was stunned, it turned out that the person who spoke just now was her, and she originally wanted to ask about the East Palace, but now it seems that the queen mother and this virtuous concubine do not get along well, if they greet each other with a smile, it is too fake, so they raised their heads and walked past them proudly, and strode away with Zhu'er.

Here, after Xiao Wanyao left the palace safely, she breathed a long sigh of relief. The carriage sent her directly to Shangguan Yunfan's residence, and when she got off the car, Shangguan Yunfan was already standing at the door waiting.

Seeing her, Shangguan Yunfan couldn't help but smile and blurted out, "Ah~ You are the most beautiful palace guard I have ever seen." ”

Xiao Wanyao glared at him and hurriedly walked inside, "What about Zhenling?" I heard that she was injured, is she feeling better now? Is there any news of the earth-shattering? Where is he being held? ”

Shangguan Yunfan followed closely behind her and strode with her, originally wanting to say something else and want to take a good look at her, but she didn't expect her to be in a hurry to do these things as soon as she came, she helplessly put away the smile on her face, and replied with locked eyebrows, "Zhenling is inside, Zhentian I have already sent someone to investigate, there is no news yet, Mingjun should have hidden him, but I tried my best to find someone to find out his whereabouts." ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded and continued to walk forward, Shangguan Yunfan had a sour taste in his heart, and took a step forward to stop Xiao Wanyao.

She paused slightly, and looked up at him, "What's wrong?" Is there something else going on? ”

Shangguan Yunfan took a deep breath, and didn't even know how to speak, "I'm not your subordinate, and it's not my obligation to investigate these things, don't you have something to say about it?" ”

Xiao Wanyao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry, so I ignored this." Shangguan Gongzi, I am really grateful for the things you have helped me do. It's just that I haven't had time to say that yet, and I'll thank you again later. ”

Shangguan Yunfan looked at her anxious appearance, and shook his head helplessly again, "Okay, that's it, I'll thank me after waiting for you!" But there's one more thing I have to offer. ”

Xiao Wanyao was just about to leave, but when she heard him say this, she stopped again, "What's the matter?" ”

"You still owe me 100,000 taels of silver, and I have an IOU! When are you going to give it back to me. Shangguan Yunfan had a faint smile on his face, to be honest, he was extremely unhappy now. Especially seeing Xiao Wanyao ignoring him so much, ignoring what he did for her, although she was willing, but seeing her as if she didn't care at all, she didn't feel good at all.

She nodded, "Well, I remember this, don't worry, I'll definitely give it back to you." Without the slightest error. Can you take me to meet Quakewrath now? ”

Shangguan Yunfan sighed slightly, in her eyes, is she so insignificant?

"Come with me!" With that, he turned around and walked with her to the place where Zhenling lived.

There, Xiao Wanyao saw Zhenling, her face was pale and sad, and when she saw her, she hurriedly got up. Xiao Wanyao stepped forward to support her, "Zhenling, you are injured now, lie down first, you can rest assured that I will definitely find Zhentian, and I will definitely not let him have anything to do." Now that I'm here, everything can be solved, trust me. ”

Xiao Wanyao comforted Zhen Ling, and after talking for a while, she let her rest and leave the room.

Walking out of the dormitory, in the main hall outside, Xiao Wanyao saw Shangguan Yunfan sitting there bored, remembering what he had done for himself, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid today's situation would be even more difficult to control.

walked forward, Shangguan Yunfan saw her come out, and also saw her coming, but he still played with a feather in his hand with a lazy face, blowing it up and down, and blowing it up again.

"This time, I really want to thank you, Shangguan Gongzi, if it weren't for you, I might still be trapped in the palace." She said lightly.

Chapter 231: Redemption

Shangguan Yunfan glanced at her lazily, "Miss, you finally remember me now!" ”

Xiao Wanyao walked up to him and smiled indifferently, "I still need the help of Shangguan Gongzi, but you can rest assured that in addition to the 100,000 taels of silver, I will pay you other expenses, and I will definitely not let you do it in vain." ”

He stared at her, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, but he shifted his gaze in just a moment, got up and laughed deliberately, "That's naturally good, I'll help you naturally for money, you didn't have money before, but now you are the queen of Chu, a little silver is nothing to you." I made the deal. ”

When she said these words, Xiao Wanyao didn't see the sadness in his eyes. just looked at him gratefully, "The money I paid will definitely satisfy you." ”

When Shangguan Yunfan turned his head to look at her again, his gaze had changed to his original appearance, "This is naturally the best, I don't know what the queen wants me to do?" ”

Xiao Wanyao put away her smile and said, "I need you to help me do two things, the first thing is to steal Xue Tianao's body from Lidu Mansion, and the second is to find the whereabouts of Zhentian, who was taken away by Mingjun." ”

Shangguan Yunfan took a deep breath, "I know. I'll send someone to investigate. ”

Xiao Wanyao nodded, her face sank, "My subordinates are also investigating, but Lidu Mansion is heavily guarded, we don't know where they put Tianao's body, so we need you to go over there to investigate." I know that you have a very good relationship, especially with the people of the government, so I guess this matter is not difficult for you. ”

Shangguan Yunfan smiled faintly, turned his head to look at Xiao Wanyao, with a puzzled expression, "Do you really believe that the corpse is Xue Tianao's?" ”

"I don't know, I just want to see it with my own eyes."

"You don't believe that!"

Xiao Wanyao glanced at him, then shifted her gaze, "I only believe what I saw with my own eyes." ”

Shangguan Yunfan looked at her, looking at her with a calm face, standing there casually, her eyes were clear, but she couldn't see through her heart now, sad? Heartache? Or despair? She buried all the qiē.

I heard Zhu'er say that you must be careful about mentioning Xue Tianao's matter in front of Xiao Wanyao, and he mentioned it, but it turned out to be a little disappointed to him, because she seemed unusually calm, and she didn't have that kind of reaction as Zhu'er said. And the more Xiao Wanyao is like this, the more he can't help but feel sorry for her in his heart.

When I was in Hezhou before, there was a drunken night with her, her appearance was distressing, and now she is as calm as water, and she can't help but feel distressed.

Shangguan Yunfan used the connections in his hands to enter Lidu Mansion, and soon noticed a special place. The place was heavily guarded, and it was personally guarded by the Praetorian Guards in the palace, and it seemed to be very important.

He found an adult who knew the inside story and asked, "So many palace guards have come here, and it seems that there are very important prisoners in that place. ”

That adult received a lot of silver from Shangguan Yunfan, and they had business dealings with each other before, Shangguan Yunfan did not spare the money, no matter what they did, they got a lot of benefits, and these adults liked him very much.

Then he revealed to him, "It's not the prisoners who are being held there!" It's a corpse. ”

Shangguan Yunfan paused slightly, looked very surprised, and asked curiously, "How can a corpse be guarded by the Praetorian Guards in the palace?" Who is the one who died? ”

The adult was a little embarrassed, "This, I won't be able to sue Shangguan Gongzi." ”

"The dead still talk? Sooner or later, it's going to rot. Oh, this is the first time I've heard of a corpse being guarded by heavy soldiers. Shangguan Yunfan said with a smile.

The adult lowered his voice and said again, "This must be because it is not an ordinary corpse, it was originally intended to be buried thickly, but then regretted it, so I sent someone to guard it, and asked the priest to re-investigate the corpse." ”

Shangguan Yunfan nodded, frowning, I see, no wonder this corpse is kept.

When Shangguan Yunfan returned to Xiao Wanyao, his face was a little solemn, and Xiao Wanyao asked him, "Did you encounter any difficulties?" ”

Shangguan Yunfan said, "The emperor originally wanted to bury the corpse, but later after returning to the palace, he repented, and he must have doubted this, so he asked the emperor to re-examine the corpse." The corpse was now guarded by the palace guards, and without Guo Ping's decree, it was estimated that no one would be able to approach the corpse. ”

Xiao Wanyao frowned, which made her even more suspicious of the corpse. She took a deep breath, "It seems that Guo Ping doesn't want to bury that corpse for a while, if he wants to see it, he can only steal it." Can you do it? ”

Shangguan Yunfan paused for a moment, then nodded, "Of course you can, we can also give him a stealing beam to change the pillar." ”

Looking at Shangguan Yunfan, the corners of Xiao Wanyao's mouth hooked up a faint smile slightly, in her heart she was already convinced that the corpse was not Xue Tianao's, and the only thing that made her completely believe it was to get the corpse and examine it carefully.

"Is there any news that will shake the sky?" Xiao Wanyao asked.

Shangguan Yunfan shook his head and said, "I haven't found out his whereabouts yet, but I have already sent someone to keep an eye on where Mingjun lives, and his people are also looking for Zhenling's whereabouts." ”

Shangguan Yunfan tried to steal Xue Tianao's body, he first bought the prison officer, and bought a corpse from the prison that had just been sentenced to death.

On the other side, Xiao Wanyao secretly summoned her subordinates with a secret code to carry out her next plan.

On this day, Mingjun was discussing their next plan with Zhenhao, and it was at this time that Lei Luo arrived. Mingjun arranged for him to wait for him in another place.

Then he turned to Zhenhao and asked, "He must have come this time to send troops to the Wei State, and he wants to take us with him to continue to help him attack the Wei State." Now he has 400,000 soldiers in his hands, and he can mobilize half of the soldiers of the Chu State. In addition, Guo Ren also has some military power in his hands to cooperate with us. ”

Zhenhao nodded and said, "Our plans are almost arranged, the Mandate of Heaven has mastered the Praetorian Guard in the palace, as long as we can buy Lei Luo to get the talisman in his hand, we can force Guo Ping to abdicate and set up the third prince Guo Ren as the emperor, and then we can control him and control the entire Chu State." ”

Mingjun nodded lightly, "This matter can only succeed and not fail, and the people we arranged around Guo Ping are reliable?" ”

"Absolutely! If something happens here, he will attack Guo Ping. At that time, even if he does not use military power, he can still be allowed to 'abdicate'. Zhenhao said.

Mingjun took a deep breath and slowly stood up, his gaze far-reaching, "I'll go meet Lei Luo." ”

Zhenhao saw him leave, and when he walked out of the study, he happened to come to Mingjun in the snow, and saw Zhenhao come out alone and pause slightly, "Where is Mingjun?" ”

Zhenhao said, "He's gone to see General Lei." ”

Xue paused slightly, knowing that the plan had already begun to be implemented, his eyes couldn't help but sink, "That Lei Luo is not a person who is easy to buy, is it okay to sue him directly?" Zhenhao didn't speak.

Xia Xue glanced back at him, "I have investigated Guo Ren, he is a waste wood, he has no eloquence, and if he finds such a person to inherit the throne, he can be lightly controlled." It's just that the people around him are not easy to deal with. ”

Zhenhao said lightly, "Don't worry, those people all support Guo Ren, naturally they want him to be the emperor, and when that time comes, it will be a piece of cake to deal with them again." ”

Xue nodded and agreed with Zhenhao's statement. However, at this moment, an internal attendant hurriedly ran in from outside, "Tell you, we have found the whereabouts of the Earthquake Spirit." Now send someone to follow her, what should her subordinates do? ”

Zhenhao and Xue glanced at each other, and Zhenhao said, "Send people again, and catch her as soon as you have the opportunity." ”

"My subordinates know!" The attendant hurriedly turned and went out.

Xue glanced at Zhenhao, "Do you want to sue Sù Mingjun?" ”

"Mingjun is busy now, let's go take a look first." Zhenhao said.

Xue nodded and left together. Sure enough, when they came to the place where the attendant had said, they saw Earthquake with her men, and they should be investigating Earthquake Heaven's affairs.

She looked pale, presumably the cause of her previous injury, this place was very hidden, the snow stared at Zhenling, remembering that when they were still in Qingfeng Garden, although they rarely met, but every time they saw it, there was a special feeling, they were all orphans.

Life was unfortunate when I was a child, and when I grew up, I became a killer, and every time I came back from a mission, I saw each other, and there were not too many words, but there was a look in that look that only they understood, no matter how serious the injury was, as long as I could come back alive.

They used to sit on the rooftop, invite wine to the moon, and think about finding a hidden place and a quiet life when they were old, although they knew that such a life was a luxury for them, but they still did not give up hope. Even if you go to hell after death, you don't regret living like this in this life.

They don't say much about each other, and they don't make any promises, but Zhenling has taught Snow a lot of things, and many times, Snow is very good for her when she is on a mission.

Xue has always been treated as Zhenling's sister, although they all restrain themselves from giving their feelings, which is the most dangerous for the killer, but she still can't help but treat her as her dearest person in her heart.

I still remember one time, when it was snowing to carry out a very dangerous mission, before leaving, Zhenling came to her, holding a jar of wine in his hand, "Hey, I've been idle lately, wait for you to come back, and have a few more drinks with me." ”

Just a simple sentence, full of hope, wishes, and helplessness. If I can't come back, who will accompany you?

That time it snowed to complete the task, but she was injured very badly, and almost died because of the deterioration of the injury, it was Zhenling who accompanied her, "Hey, little girl, I still have that jar of wine, when you are well, remember what you promised me." ”

They never promise each other, but in this way they expect another person they care about to come back alive while on a mission.

Now looking at the injured Earthquake Spirit, she wants to arrest her back, if she really goes back, she will definitely die in her own hands. An indifferent snowfall, her heart couldn't help but hurt, and she suddenly lowered her head and grabbed the clothes on her chest.

Zhenhao noticed her strangeness and looked back at her, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xue Xue raised her head, her gaze returning to her original indifference, "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly have a very strange feeling." She had no heart, but suddenly felt very stuffy in her chest. R1154
