() "No......"

Chang Lei looked reluctant.

"Big brother, I just came back from Yangzhou, and you drove me to Shuzhou again?"

"The stakes are high, not child's play."

Qi Yuan's face was serious, and he didn't have the slightest intention of arguing with Chang Lei.

"Mainly, Yin Qingqi said that she has often dreamed of a black cat recently, and, with an old man who is in his last years, there is a jade pendant hanging on the old man's body, on which is written the word 'hour'."

"Hours, that's not ......"

Chang Lei is an intelligence worker, so he naturally knows the meaning of twelve hours in the palace.

At the twelve o'clock of that year, it was a nightmare for almost everyone, and the emperor also relied on this organization to gradually stabilize the deceit of the harem.

In the palace, if there is a palace maid who dares to talk too much, and whispers in private about a certain lady or the emperor in the palace, what awaits her is the screams in the palace early the next morning.

There was once a palace maid who was dissatisfied with what her master had done, and whispered to another friend that the day was fine.

The next day, the sky was still hazy and cold, and the patrolling guards looked sleepy, and when they walked to the gate of the maid's palace, they accidentally kicked a round ball, which was tightly wrapped in black cloth.

The guard was curious, and originally thought it was a certain elder brother's Keju, so he lowered his head to pick it up, and when he put his hand up, he felt the sticky touch and the fishy smell.

The head of the palace maid was seen alive, and it was passed down in the palace for a long time at this time, and the other person who spoke to her at that time was afraid of being implicated, and wanted to escape from the palace overnight after knowing what happened, but still did not escape the fate of being beheaded.

For the entire palace of the subordinates, mothers, and courtiers, twelve hours is a lingering nightmare.

"That's right, that's the organization."

Qi Yuan nodded in agreement.

"How did you find them?" Chang Lei looked puzzled, I heard that after the death of the queen's mother, the emperor had buried her in the tomb of the queen as a burial, in order to keep those unsightly secrets, and there is also a saying that the emperor disbanded them and let them return to the field.

"Didn't you say that they were buried in the tomb of Immortal Mountain with you behind the scenes?"

Changsheng Mountain, the gathering place of the royal tombs, only the queen mother can receive this honor and be buried in front of the ancestors.

After the death of the queen, the emperor specially built it for her

A temple, once to pay tribute to the soul of the mother, besides, the royal tomb was originally a forbidden place, in order to let the queen who is so loved by the people be worshipped, this temple was specially built between Changsheng Mountain and the capital.

"They didn't die."

Qi Yuan shook his head and denied this statement, "It's Ama who asked him to hide his identity and return to the mountains and forests, and never appear again." ”

"Some people have not escaped the pursuit of the enemy."

Qi Yuan frowned, but did not tell the truth.

In fact, the emperor naturally did not worry about placing such a group of people on his own territory, and the only way to get rid of them was to prevent future troubles.

"Well, that's understandable."

Chang Lei knows that he is also a smart person, and he can't understand the truth that a companion is like a tiger.

"But there are still three people alive, one is the second brother, who is now in seclusion in Shuzhou, one is the fourth, and now in the palace of the sixth elder brother, and the other is the sixth master." Qi Yuan paused and took a sip of tea to relieve his dry mouth, "He lives in the capital now, and I arranged a place for him, which is extremely peaceful." ”

"You mean, let me go to find the second child in Shuzhou?"

Chang Lei asked tentatively.

"That's right."

Qi Yuan's eyes gradually became gloomy, "Now that Dong Yu has fallen, I'm not sure if there will be another Dong Yu, I hope to control the battle." ”

"How so?" Chang Lei looked indifferent, "Now the biggest forces in the court are the sixth elder brother and the Xue family, the soldiers are fat and strong, and the elite soldiers in other people's families are not enough for the court to stuff their teeth." ”

Chang Lei seemed to suddenly realize something, and his surprised expression couldn't hide it.

"You mean, you're worried that Xue Tan will rebel?"

Qi Yuan nodded.

"He has always wanted to take Yin Qingqi away, you don't know, right?"

"I know." Chang Lei frowned, Xue Tan had indeed mentioned this matter many times, but almost all of them were in a drunken state.

When he was in Yangzhou, Qin Louyu was also unhappy about this, Chang Lei saw it in his eyes, and did not report it to Qi Yuan, after all, who can't say that children are in love.

Every time Xue Tan woke up the next day, it was as if it had never happened, even if Qin Louyu asked again and again, Xue Tan only said that she was drunk and hallucinated, where was there any Yin Qingqi.

"He even told me in front of me that he would lead troops to attack for Yin Qingqi."

Yuan slammed the table, and a compelling momentum overwhelmed Chang Lei's atmosphere and did not dare to breathe.

"Did he really say that? But why is he still willing to obey your orders and go to Yangzhou to investigate Siniang's whereabouts? ”

"Xue Tan was not sent by me." Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression gradually became serious, "You mean to say that you always thought that he was sent by me?" ”

"Huh?" Chang Lei was also full of doubts, "He and Du Jiang have been saying that the prince sent him to Yangzhou, besides, I know that the two of you have a private relationship, and before I went to Yangzhou, didn't you care that you had eaten and drank together?" This ......"

"What else did he say?"

Qi Yuan hurriedly asked.

"He told me that the reason why he didn't go to Shuzhou to take up his post was to investigate Siniang's case, and at this time, Jinghonglou became a pot of porridge, if you can't find Siniang's whereabouts, I'm afraid the situation will be unfavorable to you."

Chang Lei pondered for a moment, thinking about what Xue Tan had said in the past.

"Du Jiang listened to his words, naturally he didn't have time to confirm it, and there was no way to confirm it, besides, he had been in correspondence with Dong Yu, so he naturally knew the identity of Xue Tan in the capital."

"That's not right." Chang Lei suddenly remembered something, "Since he knew Xue Tan's identity, why didn't Xue Tan expose it on the spot when he pretended to be a weak scholar?" ”

"Xue Tan is not Dong Yu's person."

Qi Yuan shook his head, there was only one possibility at this time, that is, Xue Tan had reached an agreement with some people, and the content of this agreement was naturally about what Xue Tan wanted the most.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid the one who sent Xue Tan to Yangzhou is the sixth brother and the sixth elder brother."

"Sixth Elder Brother." The sad expression on Chang Lei's face was not revealed, things were getting more and more troublesome, Qi Yuan and the sixth elder brother were constantly fighting, and although the war had been calmed down at this time, it still needed a long time for disaster relief and reconstruction.

"By the way, what is the relationship between Xue Tan and the second child in Shuzhou?"

Chang Lei only remembered the purpose of Qi Yuan's going to Shuzhou by himself.

"Do you remember where Dong Yu tried the army for the first time?" Qi Yuan didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"It's in Shuzhou." Chang Lei thought bitterly, although there was no evidence, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was Dong Yu's ghost.

"The one who helped Du Xue Tan defeat Dong Yu for the first time was the second child."

The smile on Qi Yuan's face gradually disappeared, and in its place, a deep chill was felt in its place.
