As soon as the sky was hazy, Qi Yuan changed into his regular clothes and quietly left the palace at night.

The guards at the palace gate were asleep, holding their saliva, and when they were about to drip onto their clothes, they wiped their cuffs with their hands.

It doesn't matter if you wipe it, in a daze, I happened to see Qi Yuan, who was tiptoeing, pushing open the door and planning to go out.

"Who?"

The guard was also alert, and hurriedly pushed the people around him, and the guard, who was still asleep, was excited and hurriedly picked up the spear in his hand.

"Who? Who's there? ”

After this toss, the four people guarding the palace gate raised their weapons in their hands and aimed them at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan sighed, with this kind of guard, how could it be possible that the East Palace would not mix in people? He also realized why Chang Lei was able to sneak into the East Palace every time he went smoothly.

It seems that it really has to be replaced, and Dong Yu has done a good job at this.

Qi Yuan didn't have time to think about it, a few spears were already about to poke in the face.

"It's me."

Qi Yuan's deep voice crossed the noisy quarrel, and then instantly became quiet.

"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

The original person had already recognized Qi Yuan.

"The subordinates are guilty, I don't know it's the prince."

The guards led the way, and knelt down first, and a few around him were still stunned, and when they saw him kneeling, they also kowtowed and admitted their mistakes.

"Get up."

Qi Yuan waved his hand, he didn't want too many people to know, if the matter was big, I was afraid that many people would gossip again.

After all, it was not appropriate to go to the generals who had made great achievements in the war early in the morning, for whatever reason, and now it was noisy enough, and it would be even more troublesome to lure the patrolling guards over.

"I'll go out for a walk, you stand down." Qi Yuan really couldn't think of any suitable reason, so he could only say casually.

"And..."

"Don't talk about it, otherwise..."

Qi Yuan's eyes shot like sharp blades, causing several guards to quickly bow their heads.

……

"You say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going out so early, what are you going to do?"

"Who knows, you said it would be a close friend?"

"Close friends? I think it's to see a girl, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes to go to Jinghong Tower......"

"Don't let the prince hear it, he hasn't gone far yet..."

……

Qi Yuan was naturally not so bored, listening to the gossip of a few subordinates, he just wanted to get out of the city as soon as possible and start investigating the truth of the year as soon as possible.

Those debts should also be repaid.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan's face became gloomy, put on the hat on his head, and ran along the path to the north gate of the city.

"You're too late."

Xue Tan was dressed in black, which looked somewhat similar to the night robe.

Qi Yuan frowned, this Xue Tan, not only did he not have respect and humility etiquette, but he even acted so weirdly. It's obviously a snitch, and I don't know where he got it.

"Let's go."

When Xue Tan saw him coming, he picked up a bag and was about to leave.

"What about your people?"

Qi Yuan looked around, yesterday Xue Tan said that he would bring someone to help.

"They're already on their way, they should be there now, I'll send them to find out the news first."

"Asking for news?" Qi Yuan was stunned, "Didn't you say that it was not easy to blend in there?" Or we'll pretend to be..."

"Of course not."

Xue Tan glanced at Qi Yuan coldly, "Are you the people who are your father and emperor very reliable?" As soon as I heard that the emperor had fallen ill, the trees had fallen and the macaques had scattered, many of them had fled, and most of the rest could be bought with money..."

"Besides..."Xue Tan paused, "How upright are you when they are all right?" These people in the palace, as long as they have money, there is nothing they can't do. ”

Although Xue Tan's method of doing things was extremely unruly, Qi Yuan also acquiesced in this method.

He knew very well that these people had guarded the wilderness mountain village for many years, and it was estimated that they had already had grievances, not to mention, they had been staying in the isolated village, almost no different from those imprisoned palace maids, and they would naturally flee if they could, who would be so loyal to keep the place where the birds don't.

But when Qi Yuan arrived there, he was still a little worried.

Similar to what I imagined, the mud house was scattered, and some farm tools and daily necessities were placed in front of the house, looking dilapidated.

"It doesn't seem like it's going to be easy here." Xue Tan snorted coldly, looking at the weeds in the village with only one path carved out, the dilapidated houses seemed to be about to collapse at any time, some of the houses were lit up, and the dim light passed through the window lattice, which looked extremely weird.

Qi Yuan noticed that there were several people dressed as farmers guarding at the entrance of the village, staring at him with burning eyes.

He pressed the hat even lower, trying not to make his face visible.

"It's okay, that's all in order." Seeing this, Xue Tan strode forward generously, not caring about their gaze at all.

"I'm afraid these people are all under my father's subordinates."

Qi Yuan quickly glanced at it, although several people were dressed in tatters, but judging from their burly figures, they were all Lian Jiazi, at least, in this kind of wilderness mountain village, there was no yellow face and thin muscles, which was very suspicious.

"Prince, have you ever thought that Qingqi used to live a life worse than this."

Xue Tan glanced at the blood stains on the ground, maybe it was chicken blood, and there were scattered feathers on the ground.

Qi Yuan didn't speak, just quietly followed the crowd, his heart like a knife.

This scene reminded Xue Tan of the woman who escaped from the mass grave at the beginning, with blood and pus on her face, hungry, and still waiting for Yin Qingqi who was waiting for her all night.

Xue Tan clenched his fists and tried his best to control his emotions.

Everyone here is guilty, Qi Yuan understands, watching Yin Qingqi being humiliated, but not helping, everyone is unforgivable, and they don't deserve sympathy.

"Here we are."

Xue Tan stopped in front of a house.

"This is the home of the maid who bought my aunt in the first place."

Xue Tan turned around and looked at Qi Yuan, waiting for his decision.

"Let's go inside."

Qi Yuan was surprisingly calm, without the slightest hint of anger, which also made Xue Tan feel strange, he was not a person who was very good at hiding his emotions, not to mention, even more so in Yin Qingqi's affairs.

But what Xue Tan didn't know, Qi Yuan had already crushed the corners of his clothes, his fingers turned white from exertion, and his eyes were full of blood, murderous.

It all started with the family in front of her, and she is still alive and well.

"Bang."

The silence in the village was broken, and the door was kicked open, and the already tattered wooden door was now broken into several pieces.

Qi Yuan's eyes were red, and he was about to get angry at any time.

"This is Qing'er's home?"

Xue Tan squinted his eyes and scanned the room, where only one woman was draped in her clothes in a panic.

That's her.

Qi Yuan stepped out in one step, and with a pair of hands like sharp eagle claws, he firmly grabbed the woman's pale and emaciated wrist, threw it off the bed, and with a muffled sound, it fell heavily to the ground, raising up a cloud of dust.
