In the depths of the splendid palace, it was quiet in the Kunning Palace, where the queen was located. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Empress Gu, the mother of a country in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was resting on the stepping bed in the inner room.

In the corner of the beast-faced, double-eared, three-legged copper furnace, it is exuding bursts of fragrance. A faint smoke rose up, and through the curtain of red and gold, Queen Gu's face loomed.

Suddenly, the sound of soft footsteps sounded in the house, and the person who came carefully lifted the curtain and said softly: "Niangniang, there is a letter from the Guogong Mansion." ”

Empress Gu's brows frowned slightly, her eyelashes moved, and she slowly opened her eyes to the beautiful phoenix mother. At this time, looking at his henchman Mingyue, he provoked with a smile, and asked in a lazy tone: "Oh? How so? ”

Mingyue's head lowered, and her voice became softer: "The plan failed." ”

Empress Gu's eyes suddenly became sharp. Let Mingyue help herself up, tidy up her clothes and walk to the side of the chaise longue and sit down, then said lightly: "Say it." What's going on? ”

Mingyue didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly elaborated on the words from the Guogong Mansion.

After hearing this, Queen Gu's eyebrows condensed deeply, and a trace of doubt flashed on her face: "It's not her?" But the man was sure. ”

At this time, Mingyue opened her mouth and said: "Niangniang, the eldest prince did not succeed in sending the county lord of Yuanzhen back to the house, so do we have to plan to continue?" ”

Empress Gu raised her eyes and glanced at Mingyue, her long armor swept over the small table beside the concubine's couch, and she made a decision in her heart, and said affirmatively: "What that person said will not be wrong." You tell it to go down, and the plan goes on as usual. ”

Mingyue pursed the corners of her mouth, and stopped talking.

When Empress Gu saw it, she smiled and said, "What do you have to say?" Why are you still spitting up? As her confidant, Mingyue knows almost all secret things, and she has always won her trust.

Mingyue said hesitantly: "At that time, that person said that the inheritor must be the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo. The slave maid thought that Dingguo Gong had more than one daughter. Will it be ......"

Empress Gu's eyes froze.

Then he smiled as if he remembered something. Slowly shook his head, and said affirmatively: "It won't be Lu Zijin." ”

Mingyue was puzzled: "How can Niangniang be so sure." ”

Empress Gu smiled meaningfully, "Because the heir of the Lu clan can't have royal blood on him." ”

Mingyue raised her head in shock, and suddenly realized: "No wonder Niangniang wants the eldest prince to marry the county lord of Yuanzhen." The slave maid was still wondering why she didn't ask for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry the county lord of Yuanzhen. ”

Empress Gu chuckled, but she denied Mingyue's words: "No." Even if it weren't for this reason, I wouldn't marry her for Han'er. ”

Mingyue was puzzled and looked at Queen Gu. Seeing that he had no meaning to explain, he stopped speaking and stood quietly aside.

.........

The master and servant here were discussing Lu Chenxi, and on the other side, in a mansion not far from the Dingguo Mansion, there were also people talking.

A tall man who looked to be about thirty years old and had a scar on his face was kneeling on one knee and replied to the person above him: "Master, my subordinates have taken a closer look. That Yuanzhen County Lord really doesn't look like the person we're looking for. Her subordinates saw her seriously injured and there was no one around to rescue her. ”

The Scar Man sat on top of a masked man.

At this time, listening to his words, a slightly puzzled voice came from under the mask: "Do you see clearly? The voice sounded young, not very old, very young.

The scar man nodded affirmatively, "Subordinates will never be mistaken!" ”

The masked man didn't speak, and through the mask, the scar man couldn't see what his expression was, so he just knelt on one knee in silence.

It took a long time for the scar man to hear the faint voice with a little coldness: "The Holy Maiden's instructions will not be wrong. You get up first. ”

The scar man stood up in question, bowed to the masked man, and asked, "Master, what should we do next?" ”

The masked man did not answer his words immediately, but bowed slightly to the thin man who was standing behind him, who had been like a shadow, and the thin man left knowingly. After a while, he came out with a black wooden box and handed it over with respectful hands.

The thin man from beginning to end didn't say a word. It's really like a shadow.

The masked man took the box, and the thin man silently retreated behind him again.

The scar man looked at the scene in front of him suspiciously, but out of awe of the master in his heart, he didn't ask.

The masked man handed the black wooden box in his hand to the scar man, and his hand holding the box was white and slender, with a strange paleness, which looked like a woman's hand.

But when the scar man saw that hand, his pupils couldn't help but shrink. After holding back the fear in his heart and respectfully stretching out his hands to take the box, the scar man finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, what is this?" ”

The masked man didn't answer his question, but just looked at the box in his hand, glanced at it, and ordered, "You give the contents of the box to Wakahime, she knows what to do." ”

The scar man replied respectfully, and then retreated with the box in his arms.

After the scarred man left, the thin man who had been standing without speaking looked at the masked man and said, "The master thinks that the county lord of Yuanzhen is the person we are looking for?" His voice sounded hoarse and uncomfortable.

The masked man didn't seem to feel the unpleasantness of the voice, and when he heard this, he turned his head to look at the thin man, and there was even a smile in his voice: "I'm not sure either." According to the instructions given to the Holy Maiden, it is very likely that it is her. ”

The thin man fell silent and stopped talking.

The masked man seemed to be unconscious, and continued: "Before, Ruo Ji sent a message back to say that the death she gave to the county lord of Yuanzhen before seemed to have been cracked. ”

The thin man was startled, and suddenly raised his head to the masked man. The sunlight outside the window filtered in through the crack in the window and shone on his face, clearly reflecting the panic, disbelief and faint joy on his face.

"So...... If you say that......" The thin man's voice sounded again, but this time it seemed a little incoherent, "Isn't it just a statement, a description ......?"

The masked man looked at the thin man's appearance, and his eyes were also moved, and he knew why he was so excited.

If it was really certain that the Lord of Yuanzhen was the person they were looking for, maybe even he would be the same. They had waited too long for this day. Almost everyone is desperate.

However, although it has been a long time and they have paid a great price, they have finally found the person they have been looking for.
