The rumor of Queen Xi's fall from grace spread wildly in the palace, and Xi Yunzhi also seemed to confirm this rumor, since the emperor left angrily, she did not go out of the palace gate, and sat quietly all day without speaking. No matter who asked to see her, she refused one by one.

But Ruyi Ruyue frightened them, the lady of the past few days, she has eaten little, and she has been locked in the palace all day long without speaking, so if it goes on like this, how can you get it.

Xi Yunzhi was reading books and embroidering in the palace, and it was not difficult to pass the time.

On this day, she was a little sleepy in embroidery, so she fell asleep on the embroidery stand, but in a daze, she had a feeling of being watched again, and this time she did not open her eyes immediately, but closed her eyes and waited for the opportunity.

The feeling was getting stronger and closer, and Xi Yunzhi closed his eyes tightly, trying to make himself look like he was really asleep.

At the last moment, from the top of the Kunning Palace, which was closed with the gate closed, three or four guards quietly pounced down, and captured the person who was approaching Xi Yunzhi in one fell swoop.

Xi Yunzhi heard the movement, so he raised his head from the embroidery frame, thinking that he had caught the black shadow, but he didn't expect to see a person wearing the clothes of a palace maid.

The four guards pressed her to the ground and didn't let her move, Bu Qin walked out of the back hall with a cold face, saw the palace maid who was captured by the guards he arranged, glanced at Xi Yunzhi, and asked:

"Is that her?"

Xi Yunzhi walked out from behind the embroidery frame, came to the captured palace maid, looked at her carefully, and then shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like ......."

The husband and wife were wondering, but they heard the captured palace maid say loudly:

"Of course it's different, it's Lao Tzu."

As soon as the palace maid spoke, Xi Yunzhi heard this familiar voice, and approached the person in disbelief and looked at it carefully.

"I'm Zhang Yan, let them go, it hurts my neck to death."

“……”

Xi Yunzhi was startled, and hurriedly let the four guards go, wanting to help Zhang Yan, but was pulled by Bu Qin vigilantly, after Zhang Yan was contacted by the guard, he got up from the ground alone, rubbed his neck that was about to break, and said to Xi Yunzhi:

"I heard that you have been in retreat recently, and you don't eat or drink, so I wanted to come and see you, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this."

Zhang Yan looked at the questioning look on Bu Tan's face as she spoke, so she simply didn't do anything, and ripped off the human skin mask on her face, revealing a face with scarred scars.

Xi Yunzhi had seen her face more than a thousand times when she was treating her, so she naturally wouldn't admit her mistake and ran out from behind Bu Tan.

"It's really you. What are you doing here? ”

Xi Yunzhi looked at Zhang Yan in surprise, she had been sending people to look for her since she entered the palace, but the people sent had never found her whereabouts, and she didn't expect to see her suddenly now.

Zhang Yan shrugged her shoulders and said, "Didn't you hear that you were so scared that you didn't eat or drink?" I just wanted to come and see you, but I didn't expect to step on your trap. ”

Xi Yunzhi said a little apologetically: "I'm really sorry, a few days ago I saw a black shadow coming out of the wall in Kunning Palace, and I wasn't sure of the identity of the other party, so I came up with this scene to attract the king into the urn, and I wanted to see if I could catch the black shadow." ”

“……”

Bu Qin let the four guards disappear into the darkness again, Xi Yunzhi pulled Zhang Yan to sit down on the soft couch, only to hear Zhang Yan speak again:

"What the hell. They are Ryukyu ninjas, how can you catch them in such an ambush. ”

Zhang Yan's words not only stunned Xi Yunzhi, but even Bu Qin was attracted by her words and asked, "Ryukyu ninja?" ”

Zhang Yan looked at them, nodded and told the truth.

"yes. Since you entered the palace, I have been mixed in the Kunning Palace, that night after the shopkeeper shouted, I also followed up to see, I saw that her eyes were always staring at a wall, I thought it was strange, and then after I went out, I went to the various palaces to investigate, fortunately the general ...... Oh, the emperor didn't have a concubine, otherwise I wouldn't have found out so quickly. ”

Xi Yunzhi and Bu Tan glanced at each other and asked, "What did you find out?" ”

Zhang Yan replied: "The identity of the black shadow." After a pause, Zhang Yan didn't hide it, and confided: "The black warrior next to the princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom is him." After I sneaked in, I couldn't understand what they were saying, but I was sure that the princess wanted to kill you, and she once wiped her neck against the pot of peonies you gave her, and I remember it very well. ”

When Xi Yunzhi heard this, he was already in a cold sweat, looked at Bu Tan, and saw that he also had a surprised look, only to hear him also speak:

"I've heard of the ninjas of the Ryukyu Kingdom before, but I've never seen them, so can they really get out through walls?"

Zhang Yan shook her head: "Where." I stared at that palace for many days, those ninjutsu are powerful, but to put it bluntly, it is a trick, the light skills of the ninja are very good, you look at him as if he came out of the wall, in fact, he just changed the direction to hide, and then took advantage of the chaos of the crowd, and then mixed out. ”

Xi Yunzhi couldn't believe it: "How could it be a trick, I clearly saw him pass through the wall." ”

Zhang Yan looked at her, then at Bu Qin, and said: "You don't know martial arts, of course you can't see their movements, because it's too fast, but if it's the emperor or other people with strong martial arts, it's not difficult to see." ”

Zhang Yan's words made Xi Yunzhi feel that his hairs stood up, only to hear Bu Qin speak again:

"In this way, the princess of the Ryukyu Kingdom is still a dangerous person."

Zhang Yan knew that this Ryukyu princess was here to kiss, although Bu Qin has not yet accepted a concubine, but maybe she will be included in the palace after a while, and she can't help but remind: "Of course it's dangerous." If nothing else, just say that she used ninjas to deal with the shopkeeper, and it must not be tolerated. This time it's just to scare people, and the next time it will inevitably not be murder. ”

Bu Qin nodded and said, "That's right, since she dares to do it for the first time, she dares to do it for the second time." This cannot be left unguarded. ”

After Bu Qin finished speaking, he turned around and entered the back hall, and quietly left Kunning Palace from the other door, and then made arrangements.

Xi Yunzhi and Zhang Yan reunited after a long absence, they had a lot to say, Xi Yunzhi wanted to find her out when she entered the palace, but her disguise technique was perfect, so that people couldn't find any clues, and now that she took the initiative to appear, Xi Yunzhi didn't plan to let her go back to the darkness again.

"That's it for me, what kind of person is Xiao Luo, mediocre and brutal, how can he tolerate King Yu, I just blew the wind in his ears a few times, he really did it to King Yu, which also saves me a lot of trouble to retaliate against them, after you leave the capital, Xiao Luo will put the same crime as you in the Yuwang Mansion - collaborating with the enemy and treason, and beheading all over the house."

It was difficult for Xi Yunzhi to sympathize with King Yu's experience, but knowing Zhang Yan's complicated feelings for him, he couldn't help asking:

"Do you still love him?"

Zhang Yan was silent for a while, and then took a deep breath and replied:

"He treated me so cruelly, if I still love him, then I am really cheap......" he said, suddenly smiled, and said, "Do you know the way? Before they died, I had already gone to the prison to take revenge. I disguised myself as jailers and tortured them in prison in the same way, ha......haha

Xi Yunzhi looked at her mottled face, thinking back to how gorgeous this face was in the past, but she became a victim of a woman's jealousy.

However, hearing Zhang Yan say this, Xi Yunzhi did not see the imaginary happiness in her, but became more sorrowful, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly asked:

"Do I remember that King Yu and Princess Yu had a daughter, she was so young, but she was tragically implicated because of her parents' sins?"

“……”

Zhang Yan was silent for a long time, Xi Yunzhi saw that she didn't speak, nor did she urge, walked to the round table, picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea, and handed it to her.

"I said, I've been cheaply all my life, and they treat me like that, but when she prostrates at my feet and begs me to be her daughter, I still relent......"

Xi Yunzhi saw her burying her face in her palm, as if remembering the events of the past, she became painful, her thin shoulders couldn't help shaking, and her emotions seemed to be a little out of control, Xi Yunzhi couldn't help but step forward and patted her on the shoulder a few times to show comfort, and said:

"The child is innocent. You didn't save her because you were cheap, but because you had a better conscience than them. ”

Zhang Yan stared at Xi Yunzhi with red eyes, her face was tangled, she looked a little infiltrating, but the kindness in her eyes was clear, Xi Yunzhi in order to adjust the atmosphere and make her stop crying, she simply joked:

"I think you'd better put on your mask before we can talk properly."

“……”

Zhang Yan saw that Xi Yunzhi's expression was a little cunning, and couldn't help but glance at her, but then she obediently put on the human skin mask and restored it to the appearance of the strange palace maid, Xi Yunzhi was once again shocked by the ingenuity of her craftsmanship.

After Zhang Yan put on the mask, she said to Xi Yunzhi:

"By the way, I forgot what you said just now, I explored the princess's palace for a long time, and found that the princess is really narcissistic, usually when there is nothing to do, she always sits in front of the mirror, and she sits for an hour or two. You need to prepare early. ”

"......" After Xi Yunzhi heard what she said, he couldn't help but sigh: "What are you going to prepare?" She is a princess of the Ryukyus, and if her husband does not accept her as a concubine, it may affect diplomatic relations. ”

Zhang Yan was a little surprised by Xi Yunzhi's attitude: "Then you want to compromise?" However, I think the emperor seems to be still insisting. ”

Xi Yunzhi nodded: "Hmm." We're all still holding on. But ......"

The two were talking this, but there was a sound of Ruyi knocking on the door urgently:

"Mother, it's not good, the eldest prince fell into the water."

Xi Yunzhi was shocked, Zhang Yan also felt strange, when even if he disappeared into the darkness, Xi Yunzhi hurriedly ran to open the door of the palace, and walked out of the hall with Ruyi's footsteps.

Xiao An, how could her Xiao An fall into the water for no reason?

The author has something to say: thank you for giving me thunder...... I'm sorry, there was a change yesterday, but there was something temporary in the afternoon, and I didn't change it, so I made it up today.
