Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Female Corpse in the Cold Palace's Dry Well

The night is endless, and a cat owl skims through the air.

King Chen's square face was half dripping in the moonlight, and half was sunk in the shadows. The extreme contrast between light and darkness renders several strange and inexplicable colors for his indifferent and clear smile.

"This king really doesn't know whether to call you Lu Gongzi or the Third Highness at this moment, I don't know why Prince Solo of the Udan Kingdom sneaked into my Dayi Palace?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you," Lu Qiange's eyes were as cold as frost, ignoring the displeasure of King Chen's raised eyebrows, and his words were concise and straightforward:

"If you remember Master's life-saving grace when you hear about people's righteousness, don't expose me in front of people, and when the matter is done, I will stay away from your palace immediately."

King Chen's smile was low:

"I'm afraid that if you want to leave then, the fourth sister will not want to. Didn't you notice that Ji Yan already has a heart for you. ”

Lu Qiange's complexion suddenly became ugly, his purple eyes turned round, and he reprimanded:

"Don't talk nonsense, who can stand your precious sister? Besides, I have someone in my heart all morning! ”

King Chen pursed his lips, and his smiling eyebrows and eyes were facing the night sky:

"Who knows what will happen in the future? Hurry back to Kunning Palace, be careful. In the future, we often met in the palace, and it seems that this 'fifteenth covenant' is not very meaningful. ”

Lu Qiange nodded in agreement and bowed slightly:

"Since we see each other often, I won't say 'cherish' to you anymore and say goodbye."

The words will turn around, and hurried away with a steel knife in hand.

"Why don't you give him the news that Gu Yunxi is in the palace?"

On the other side of the red wall, the slightly pale female voice arrived as scheduled, and King Yinchen drove the glazed flickering gaze, and turned to the remnant wall with slightly narrowed eyes:

"Why bother? It was not yet the time for him to go head-to-head with the Admiral of Dongchang. The more and more the sons want to know, what he has to keep secret from the sons......"

"Huang'er, what's wrong?"

On the other side of the red wall, King Chen's words came to an abrupt end, which aroused the woman's vigilance, and she only asked in a deep voice and stopped speaking.

"The mother concubine is at ease, but a bird came by mistake, and the sons can deal with it."

On the other side of the wall, King Chen raised his eyes, hooked his lips and smiled as cold as a knife, and his long figure blocked the moonlight, projecting a distorted and terrifying image on the ground.

His body was filled with the aura of hellish death, like a bloodthirsty ghost reopening the gates of purgatory and returning to the world as a curse.

More than ten meters away, there was a palace maid standing with a lantern, her eyelashes raised high, and she looked at King Chen with a frightened and puzzled expression.

I saw King Chen striding forward, his body was as full as a swallow, and his brocade clothes were flying. At the wrong time, his hideous face had already reached the palace maid, and a pair of eagle falcon eyes shimmered with bloodthirsty scarlet light.

"Smack" –

The palace lamp fell to the ground, and the faintly flickering candle flame finally resisted the destruction of the night wind, and a cold whirlwind hit it, and it disappeared into the darkness and silence.

At the same time, the palace maid's mouth opened in panic and stunned, and her dry shout was pulled up, and her neck was tight.

The palace maid's eyes widened in fear, and the blood-curdled eyeballs were about to fall out of her sockets, desperate and painful to experience the feeling of being stretched out and stuck in her throat. Her feet gradually lifted off the ground, and her body as light as a piece of paper was lifted and suspended in the air by a strong arm of King Chen.

It was getting harder and harder to breathe, her feet were uncontrollably slashing, her hands were clamping the thin five fingers on her neck to pull them apart, and her nails were scratching into the flesh to no avail, and she couldn't struggle to escape.

King Chen's hand was unusually strong, and he pinched her fatal place steadily, and his five fingers tightened more and more.

In a moment, the girl's body stopped twitching, and the cold palm drooped weakly, and there was no longer life.

King Chen let go with a sly smile and threw the body to the ground, his eyes cold and warm:

"You've seen it all, this king naturally can't keep you."

Straightening his clothes, King Chen took out a jade pendant from his mouth, leaned over and stuffed it into the palm of the palace maid, his smile seemed to be quenched with ice ballast, and he was extremely cold:

"I came down from Grandpa Bai's waist in the morning, I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon......"

——

The harem was noisy in the morning.

Hailan, the maid of Concubine Shu of Chonghua Palace, did not return all night, and the attendant came out to look for her, and found her body in the dry well outside the cold palace.

In addition, the leader of the Inner Court Forbidden Army, who was in charge of investigating the matter, also found a jade pendant in the palm of the deceased's right hand.

After some interrogation, an insider confessed that this jade pendant was the ornament on the waist of Bai Quan, the father-in-law in charge of Yongning Palace.

The commander of the forbidden army immediately took people to the palace of the imperial concubine to get people, and wanted to take them to the court to punish the crime.

Bai Quan is young and romantic, and he can be described as a raccoon dog with Minglan, so that he can have an affair with the palace maid with a humble status in the palace.

Suddenly, the lawsuit went up, Bai Quan cried under Wan Yuyao's knees and grabbed the ground, the non-Dao jade pendant had already been lost, and asked the imperial concubine to be the master with him.

And Wan Yuyao is also a calf protector, and she suppressed the consul of the forbidden army with the power of the concubine, and forced him to set up a court in the courtyard of Yongning Palace to interrogate Bai Quan with her.

Bai Quan was not on duty last night, and he himself was not in the palace. During the interrogation, Bai Quan's expression was ethereal and flickering, and finally Wan Yuyao lost patience with him, and repeatedly pressed him, Bai Quan finally explained in public the matter of lingering in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion after he was on duty last night, and in order to prove his innocence, he confessed the names of the bustard and the flower girl.

Wan Yuyao was so angry when she heard this, she beat her chest on the circle chair, and scolded her own head for being bloody.

The forbidden army hurriedly sent people out of the palace to verify, and after twists and turns, Bai Quan can be regarded as clearing the charge, but the infamy has already been carried out in the six palaces.

Subsequently, Bai Quan's purchase of mansions in various parts of Gyeonggi and the purchase of 100 acres of land in the suburbs were also picked up one by one. As far as his current rank of servant within the fifth rank is concerned, he has already constituted the crime of trespassing.

The emperor was furious because of the Bai Quan case, fined Bai Quan a hundred boards, confiscated the income outside the palace, expelled him from the palace and never hired him, and also reprimanded the imperial concubine for this matter, asking her to keep an eye on her subordinates.

The imperial concubine touched the emperor's scales inexplicably, and she was aggrieved and angry, but she didn't know who framed her this time and hated her teeth. After a while, he almost burned the entire Yongning Palace.

The deep purple in the sky overlapped, and the twilight was thick.

Gu Yunxi commanded his subordinates to busy dinner in the small kitchen, listening to the cooks talking about Yongning Palace while they were busy, it is said that Bai Quan failed to survive the punishment, and died halfway.

Gu Yunxi was just filling his ears for this, and most of his thoughts were still on Gu Yunyao.

Thinking about the harem and falling out of favor is all in someone's thoughts, and it's not worth making a fuss about.

The bubbling heat at the back of his neck floated, Gu Yunxi was stunned, and turned his head curiously to see King Chen, who had delicate eyebrows, staring at her with a harmless smile.

Gu Yunxi frowned, touched the back of his neck with his hand uncomfortably, and said lightly:

"Your Highness, are you here again? …… Is there something wrong? ”

King Chen grabbed her and dragged her outside, Gu Yunxi didn't follow, and broke free a few times:

"Your Highness, let's go to the side to play first, the slave has something to do!"

King Chen's eyebrows fluttered, his eyes were bright and bright, and he said excitedly:

"You come with me, and I'll be back soon!"

He took Gu Yunxi to walk quickly out of the gate of Chuxiu Palace, turned left and ran along the straight palace road for more than 100 meters, and then turned over the red wall.

Gu Yunxi stopped in his footsteps, and saw the handsome and steady figure under the fiery red maple tree.

Her eyes froze for a while, she looked at it in a daze, and saw that he was also looking over here, with a picturesque face and a calm smile.

Qiu Feng is in full swing lining his blue python robe, the gold and silver thread embroidery is realistic, the twilight is brilliant and aggressive, and the bright colors outline his delicate lines clearly, which is particularly good-looking.

“…… Overseer ......"

When Gu Yunxi muttered, his slightly trembling voice shattered in the wind.

It is clear that there are only four or five days of separation, but the moment of meeting is like half a year, each other's eyes meet, and their hearts are surging.

King Chen squinted his eyes and smiled silently, pulled up the stupid Gu Yunxi and walked in front of Leng Qingtang.

Leng Qingtang stared at her delicate eyes and gradually glowed with water, her heart trembled, and there was a slight pain in her eyes.

Bowed his head and handed over a bag of candy in his hand to King Chen, seeing that he reached out to take it, there were a few scars on the five fingers of his left hand, and the color was added recently.

Leng Qingtang frowned slightly for a while, and was about to think about something, and another "overseer" sounded in his ear, flickering like gurgling water reaching his heart.

didn't have to think about it, Leng Qingtang smiled warmly at Gu Yunxi, pointed to the distant flower garden to King Chen, and said in a warm voice:

"Here, let's go over there and have candy."

King Chen looked at him stupidly, turned around and ran towards the flower garden.

Gu Yunxi watched all the way, and saw that King Chen had arrived at his destination safely, standing among the withered flowers in the autumn frost, opening the paper bag and grabbing candy to eat, he was just turning his head, looking a little worried:

"King Chen is getting older day by day, and the overseer shouldn't be like this."

Leng Qingtang glanced at the flower garden and smiled lightly, grabbed Gu Yunxi's two smooth little hands and held them into his palms, his eyes were soft:

"He's a fool, and he doesn't know any of this, so he's the only one who can take you out. Girl, I went out of the palace on an errand that day, and I didn't have time to greet you, so don't blame me. When I came back, I heard Liu Bingbi say that you looked for me, but something happened? ”

Gu Yunxi shook his head in relief:

"It's not important, the overseer has worked hard to go out, and he should have a good rest when he returns to the palace......"

She worked hard for a long time in the second half of the sentence, but she was always ashamed to say it, so she had to bow her head slightly.

Leng Qingtang's handsome face smiled, and he turned into his sleeve pocket and took out a large red satin square box, and put his hands in front of Gu Yunxi's eyes:

"For you, you and I have never given you a decent gift until now, and I really didn't do it well. Girl, open it and take a look, do you still like it? ”

Suddenly his face was burned red by the color on the box, Gu Yunxi's eyes lit up, he happily took it, and gently lifted the lid of the box, and saw that it was a round and delicate jade bracelet inside.

Leng Qingtang approached, put his hand on the girl's delicate shoulders and took her into his arms, and said in a low voice:

"When you see it in a shop outside, you can see that it looks good on your wrist when you see that it is of the highest quality in terms of water and color."

Gu Yunxi pressed the corners of his mouth:

"Overseer, I'm on an errand in the palace now, and I can't wear these ...... according to the rules."

Leng Qingtang said: "Put it away first, there will always be a day when you wear it." Girl, I won't let you serve anyone forever, if you want, you can go home with me now. ”

Gu Yunxi suddenly broke out of his arms and pouted:

"Then how to make Xu Niangniang, she treats me well."

Mo said that he came with a task, even if he didn't have the task of capturing the map assigned by his honor, Gu Yunxi was a little inseparable from Concubine Xu for a while.

At that time, she stood up for her subordinates several times, which made Gu Yunxi respect her from the bottom of her heart and serve her willingly.

Leng Qingtang suddenly felt in a lost mood, and his expression was a little helpless, and he joined hands with her again, his eyes lit up:

"Okay, I depend on you what you want, but the palace has not been peaceful recently, you have to be careful when you enter and exit, and if you are not sure about something, you will come to the celebrant to find me."

"Hmm."

Gu Yunxi thought of something at this time, and immediately looked bright:

"Overseer, don't you know yet, Sister Yun Yao is not an orphan, her parents are Min Guogong and his wife......

"I found out about this as soon as I returned to the palace."

Leng Qingtang's complexion in the twilight suddenly became obscure, as if he was wearing a solemn mask, and his eyes were as thick as mist, becoming deep and untouchable:

"Yun Yao is older, she has her own choices in everything, and others can't and shouldn't influence her thoughts."

Gu Yunxi's confused eyelashes fluttered, and he shook his head like a little water, and when he saw that the overseer's expression was as inexplicably dull as lead, he didn't dare to say anything more.

In the evening breeze, a five-fingered maple leaf swaggered down from the silent figures of the two opposites.

When Leng Qingtang saw it, his eyes were far away, and he sighed lightly:

"The leaves are falling, winter is coming......"
