Chapter 114: Exploring the Palace at Night
Outside the prison, the night was as dark as ink, there were no stars and no moon, only the torch hanging high on the stone wall was burning brightly, illuminating the door of the cell.
As soon as the two o'clock arrived, a fairy-like moon-white figure swept out of the gate of the prison, and the speed was so fast that people thought it was a gust of wind blowing.
When Shen Yunxi got out of the prison, he went straight to the direction of the harem, and a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.
Inside the prison, the door of the cell was wide open, and the guards in the corridor were unconscious, and there was a bloody stain on the face of the guards who had spoken ill of her earlier, which was shocking under the reflection of the torches.
Although Shen Yunxi entered the palace to treat the queen mother many times, he was in Linhua Hall every time and did not go to other palaces, so he was not familiar with the geographical layout of the palace, and he didn't know which direction Zhong'an Palace was in.
She walked cautiously in the corridor with palace lamps, and when she was hesitating whether to go left or right at the corner, a palace maid came to her.
Shen Yunxi immediately dodged and hid beside the pillar of the corridor, pursed her head and thought about it, when the palace maid walked in front of her pillar, she suddenly reached out and pinched the palace maid's neck.
The palace maid looked at the woman in front of her in front of her with a light veil and pinched her neck, and said with difficulty: "You...... Do you want to do ...... What the? This...... This is the Imperial Palace! ”
"Don't be afraid. As long as you take me where I want to go, I'll let you go. Otherwise, ......" Shen Yunxi didn't say the latter words, but her tone was full of danger.
And the hand that pinched her neck increased a little harder.
Seeing this, the palace maid nodded in fright. Compared to fate, it is nothing to let her lead the way.
"Let's go, take me to Zhong'an Palace."
……
According to Shen Yunxi's light skills, they easily dodged the guards on the periphery, and about half an hour later, she came to the front of Zhong'an Palace under the leadership of the palace maid.
Under the maple tree in front of the palace gate, as soon as Shen Yunxi let go of her hand, the palace maid was about to open her mouth and scream, Shen Yunxi's eyes were horizontal, and the knife rose and fell, slashing at the back of her neck, and before the palace maid's scream came out, Shen Yunxi covered her mouth with her hand.
Then he placed her under the maple tree, and with a 'poof' he tore off her clothes, tied her behind her backhand, and gagged her mouth, and only after making sure that she would not break free easily, she looked left and right and walked out.
Looking up and looking at the high palace wall, Shen Yunxi's eyebrows twisted slightly, and then, he had to be lucky to climb over the wall.
However, before she could get up, she suddenly felt a cold wind behind her, and her keen sideways flashed, but the residual force of the palm wind that slashed at her still swept on her body.
"Hmm!" She exclaimed, clutching her left shoulder and taking five steps back.
Shen Yunxi bit his lip tightly, but the red blood had already flowed from the corner of his lips.
"Who are you?" The man pointed at her angrily and snorted coldly.
Shen Yunxi frowned and glanced at the injured left shoulder, but he didn't expect that this left shoulder would be unlucky to recruit someone else just a few days later.
However, this scene reminded her of the scene when she was facing each other with Night Immortal Xuan when she was in Shattered Jade Xuan that day.
Then, she raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said to the black-clothed masked man, "You and I are both intruders in this palace, so why bother asking. ”
After speaking, he snorted coldly and was about to turn around and leave.
After hearing his words, the man in black was stunned for a moment, and then stopped her movement and said, "Slow! ”
Shen Yunxi turned her head, her eyes were cold, and her thin lips opened lightly: "What?" Do you still want to fight me again? But she didn't. This is the palace, and she won't be stupid enough to bring in the Guards in order to compete with him, and I'm afraid it won't be a small injury to her left shoulder.
The man in black didn't speak, only frowned, and then said tentatively, "Is it Yunxi?" ”
When Shen Yunxi heard this, he was stunned, who? I would have guessed that it was her. But, he immediately reacted, looked at the man in black, and said, "Is it Yihan?" "There are only a handful of people who can call her Yunxi. Among the men, it seems that only Shen Mutian and Xiao Yihan call her so.
Hearing this, the man in black was overjoyed, he took off the black masked scarf, strode in front of Shen Yunxi, and said, "It's me." ”
Shen Yunxi also took off the light veil, hid in the shadows under the maple tree, and said to Xiao Yihan questioningly, "Why are you dressed like this?" Could it be that she is also here because of Su Jieyu? ”
"That's right." Xiao Yihan nodded, and told the reason: "I heard early this morning that you were imprisoned in the prison because of the affairs of the Queen Mother, I wanted to go into the palace to find the emperor, but the emperor avoided it, saying that he had his own judgment on this matter, and I didn't have to worry about it." But how could I not be worried?
After returning home, I carefully scrutinized, you treated the Queen Mother first, how could you have murder intentions for her, and this time, poison was detected in the decoction given to the Queen Mother, the decoction was made by your hands, and it was tormented in the imperial pharmacy, either the people in the palace did their hands or the people of the Rui Palace, and you only entered the palace a few times, except for Su Jieyu, you did not have a grudge with anyone.
Therefore, I plan to go to this Zhong'an Palace tonight to find out if this matter has anything to do with Su Jieyu. But I didn't expect to meet you here, so it seems that my inference is even more correct. ”
Shen Yunxi's eyes lit up and said, "I didn't expect you to scrutinize things so clearly. ”
However, it is not unreasonable for Xiao Yihan to have such an idea, after all, the grievances between her and Su Jieyu are only known to him, and no one else knows.
Feng Linye: They will cast the main focus of suspicion on her, which can also be explained. They don't know about some things, and the queen mother is biased to drink the poison in the medicine she prescribes, and when they suspect who is the murderer, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally her.
Xiao Yihan smiled slightly, and then when he saw the blood remaining on the corner of her lips, the smile in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a deep apology, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to hurt you." ”
Shen Yunxi shook his head and said, "Needless to say, I'm sorry, you didn't mean it." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the high palace wall beside her, and she said, "Let's go, let's go in first." ”
Xiao Yihan stared at her injured left shoulder, and asked with some concern, "Are you okay?" ”
"Don't doubt me." Shen Yunxi smiled and said, then turned around, jumped for life, and climbed over the wall into Zhong'an Palace.
Seeing this, Xiao Yihan was slightly stunned, and then shook her head helplessly with a smile...... However, he didn't delay, he re-tied the black scarf, and then followed her and climbed over the wall.
Entering the Zhong'an Palace, Shen Yunxi glanced at the surrounding environment slightly, and then turned his head to Xiao Yihan and pointed to the brightly lit room.
Xiao Yihan nodded clearly, and walked cautiously towards the room with Shen Yunxi.
It's just that the two of them are a little strange, there are a lot of guards outside the palace, but there is no one guarding in this palace, but it seems that their cautious appearance feels a bit excessive.
However, these two people are just thinking about it, and they don't think much else.
When they walked to the room, Shen Yunxi and Xiao Yihan glanced at each other again, and then the two of them jumped up at the same time and landed calmly on the roof.
The two squatted down one left and one right, and then Xiao Yihan gently opened a thin slit, breathed up, and peeked into the room.
However, when he peeked into the situation in the dormitory through the narrow gap, Xiao Yihan suddenly understood that there were no guards waiting in this courtyard when he first came.
