Chapter 333: The Abandoned Palace
"How did you end up here?"
Wen Qingzhu asked this, and did not shy away from Jiang Yue and the others.
Goudan was very scared, he also knew that he couldn't tell the truth completely, and stammered to explain: "I, I was almost captured by a woman who lived in the cold palace before, and then I met my sister and handed him over to the palace guards, but I found that there was something wrong with the city gate, so I was sent to the Qianyuan Palace, saying that this side is the safest." ”
Hearing his answer, Wen Qingzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, there were nine points of truth and one point of falsehood.
In this way, you can fully win the trust of people.
Wen Qingzhu asked again, "Why did the guards send you here?" Do you know who you are? Where are you from? ”
The dog began to get a little nervous and stuttered even more.
"He, he said that I didn't cleanse my body, I was going to send it to Si Tiantai, to go to cleansing, I, I don't know who I am, I was raised by an old eunuch, I grew up in the cold palace."
After asking all the words, Wen Qingzhu got up and turned his head to look at Jiang Yue with a frown.
"Your Majesty......"
Jiang Yue looked at the dog egg silently for a long time.
Just as he was about to speak, the dark guard guarding in front stepped back.
"Your Majesty, they're here!"
Jiang Yue couldn't care about the dog anymore, and ordered with a calm face: "Has the news gotten out?" ”
The secret guard responded: "It's out, but I don't know why General Lu didn't respond." ”
Wen Qingzhu saw that Jiang Yue had no time to care about her courage, so she turned around and carefully inquired about the strangeness at the city gate.
Although Jiang Yue didn't pay attention to him directly, his subordinates kept staring at the dog.
He was still very scared, but Wen Qingzhu was here, and he began to think about it very cooperatively.
After a while, a crossbow bolt suddenly came in from the window.
It penetrated directly through the window and was fixed in the side hall of their house.
And when they looked, they saw only a letter on it.
Someone immediately went to fetch it, and after reading the letter, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, it's General Fu!" He said to reassure His Majesty that he would settle it as soon as possible-"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yue saw that there was no danger over there, so he simply walked over and took the letter.
As a result, his face suddenly turned blue.
Then he threw the envelope on the ground fiercely, and said extremely coldly: "Hei Jiren can't even guard the city gate!" Rubbish! ”
There was silence in this room for an instant, and Wen Qingzhu was even more shocked in his heart.
The Imperial City has actually been lost!
Jiang Yue's people no longer had time to pay attention to the dog.
She led the dog to Wei Guifei's side, and then their figures covered part of her and the dog egg.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Qingzhu asked the dog with his mouth: Did the guard say anything before leaving?
She believed in Wei Yu very much, since he would send the dog to Qianyuan Palace.
That means that he had expected the situation at the city gates.
The poisonous gas outside was permeating, and Wen Qingzhu inexplicably thought of Qiaoyu's worries.
There is also the piece of deerskin that Fu Lie found before.
Normally, the high priest would not have thrown away the deerskin unless he died.
But just now they were in the front hall, and they clearly did not notice that this high priest had the determination to fight against the water.
Thinking carefully about what happened in the front hall before, Wen Qingzhu found that the high priest seemed to be very familiar with Wei Zheng.
But Wei Zheng has been in Jiangcheng for many years, doing things for the emperor.
Qiaoyu had said before that the high priest would hardly leave the obstacle of the Yue Kingdom.
After the complete defeat of the radicals, the conservatives slowly made a move.
But these actions are not obvious.
But today, it seems that these conservatives of the Yue Kingdom seem to know everything about the affairs of the palace.
Goudan suddenly tugged at her sleeve and said in a very slight voice: "That brother's person, it seems that the people in the Praetorian Guard are not the same as before. ”
Not quite the same?
Wen Qingzhu pondered, the forbidden army is the elite army that the emperor has always held in addition to the secret guard.
He was the first to protect the safety of the emperor and the imperial palace.
If Wei Yu can find out this step, he must have found something.
Wait a minute!
Wen Qingzhu suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart, Hei Jiren is good at investigating cases and extorting confessions, and his methods are extremely selfish.
But when it comes to managing the army, there is no talent.
Especially among the forbidden army, there are many people from high backgrounds, and a lot of them are not used to Hei Jiren.
At least Wei Yu is one of them.
However, because of the Wei family's tutoring, Wei Yu and official and private affairs are extremely clear.
Hei Jiren himself did not have the ability to manage the army, he knew this very well.
In order to make up for his shortcomings and prevent the emperor from seeing that he is not up to the task, he will inevitably find someone who is more trustworthy to help secretly.
I'm afraid that the truth is that the person who secretly helped had no different intentions from the beginning.
Wen Qingzhu stood up and looked at Wei Guifei.
Both seemed to understand what was the cause of the incident.
But now the question is, who is the person who capsized Hei Jiren?
Finally, Jiang Yue retreated to their side.
The secret guards brought in by Jiang Yue had already died on the sixth floor, and although there were casualties on the other side, their various poisons and poisonous gases were too insidious.
In order to protect Jiang Yue, many secret guards could only desperately block the danger for him.
Those people of the remnants of the Yue Kingdom are getting closer and closer.
Wen Qingzhu was hesitating, whether to tell Jiang Yue that there was still a passage here.
But she was a little worried, in case someone was guarding below.
"Your Majesty, please retreat! They're coming! ”
As soon as one of the guards spoke, he fell to the ground, emitting a peculiar rancid stench.
Wen Qingzhu was shocked, these people from the remnants of the Yue Kingdom were really terrifying.
The poison she had last time, if Fu Lie hadn't brought the antidote, I was afraid that she might not be able to resist it.
Wen Qingzhu didn't choose: "Your Majesty, I know of a possible exit." ”
Jiang Yue looked back and saw Wen Qingzhu continuing to walk inside.
Wei Guifei led someone to follow in.
This place was not occupied by the enemy, and Wen Qingzhu saw the familiar bed.
After getting to the bed, she flipped the switch, and a dark passage opened.
Jiang Yue looked at her in shock.
Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this place was told to me by Zhu'er, do you know now, why can't Your Majesty protect her?" ”
Facing the suspicious Jiang Yue, Wen Qingzhu chose to reply half-truthfully.
Jiang Yue's eyes changed and changed as she looked at her, but in the end she still sent someone down to investigate. Love Book House
Half an hour later.
Everyone went to the tunnel, and Jiang Yue sent someone to guard the entrance.
Shortly after coming down, Wen Qingzhu once again encountered the corpse of the old woman.
When Jiang Yue saw this old woman, his expression was obviously shocked.
Wei Guifei was also directly stunned.
The people present, apart from them and Wen Qingzhu, may never know the identity of this old lady again.
Staring at the old woman for a while, Jiang Yue didn't know what kind of psychology he had, so he sent someone to bring her corpse.
Wen Qingzhu took them to the fork in the road.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Jiang Yue looked at her quietly: "You decide which way we go?" ”
After pondering for a moment, Wen Qingzhu pointed in a direction.
This direction was the one she was most unsure of.
The group walked all the way, and after about two quarters of an hour, they came to an upward ramp.
In this quiet tunnel, there is a very strange fragrance flowing in the air.
Jiang Yue squinted at the entrance, his face dark.
After hesitating again and again, Jiang Yue still sent someone to open the way.
In less than a quarter of an hour, they all came out.
I came to a palace that had been abandoned for a long time.
Wen Qingzhu saw at a glance that hidden under the barren surface was the former glory of this palace.
If you look closely, you will find a chair here, and every window is delicate and luxurious, and your heart is trembling.
The place where they came out was a side temple.
It also came out from behind a bed, and this bed was actually made of agarwood.
It exudes a faint and elegant fragrance that has been aged for years.
Wen Qingzhu led the dog and followed the secret guard all the way, observing the surroundings all the way.
When he arrived at the window, Wen Qingzhu pushed it open.
A puff of dust suddenly flew in front of her, and she was just about to raise her hand to fan the dust away, when she suddenly saw a flower bush in the yard.
Those words weren't—
Is the flower embroidered on the sachet that Liu Liangren gave her?
As soon as the autumn wind blows, a faint strange fragrance blows to the face.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but think of that day, Liu Liangren gave her the fragrance of flowers in the sachet.
That kind of dried flower is made from this kind of flower?
Wen Qingzhu had a strong feeling in his heart for no reason.
This is Zhou Guifei's bedroom!
As if to confirm her conjecture, Wei Guifei's voice sounded in the room.
"Your Majesty hasn't come to see Sister Zhou for many years."
Wen Qingzhu turned his head suddenly, staring at Jiang Yue with complicated eyes.
This is really Zhou Guifei's bedroom.
Isn't that Zhou Guifei's dormitory and Qianyuan Palace, as well as the Xuanzheng Palace, all connected?
Jiang Yue's gaze deepened and deepened, but he didn't have much time to explain this matter to Wen Qingzhu.
He turned his head and instructed the next disposition.
When everything was arranged, Jiang Yue turned around and found that Wen Qingzhu was still staring at him like this.
Jiang Yue walked over and stood beside her, looking at the flowers outside the window.
recalled and said: "This flower bush was planted by me and Zhou Guifei together, I thought that the vitality of this flower was not tenacious, but I didn't expect them to bloom until today. ”
Wen Qingzhu was silent.
She knew that Jiang Yue was a kindling person, and he was on par with Uncle Wen.
All the people and things that threaten him will be eliminated and solved by him in the end.
Wen Qingzhu thought of the back of the secret room in the ancestral hall of his grandfather's house, and there were several letters written by Zhou Guifei.
She turned her back to Jiang Yue, lowered her head slightly, and finally asked, "Your Majesty, does Zhou Guifei's death have anything to do with you?" ”
Jiang Yue's body was shocked, for so many years, no one had dared to question him like this.
He wanted to scold and reprimand, but he found that he had no position.
If it weren't for Wen Qingzhu, they wouldn't have been able to get here, and they wouldn't have been able to avoid those remnants of the Yue Kingdom.
But after thinking about it, Jiang Yue felt that since Wen Qingzhu had already known about this, why didn't he tell him in advance?
"For the sake of your merits today, I will not punish you."
Wen Qingzhu laughed silently, this Jiang Yue is really hypocritical.
The emperor has been doing it for a long time, and he has forgotten how people do it?
She didn't speak, took the dog and left, and walked directly out of Zhou Guifei's once luxurious bedroom.
In the evening, most of the remnants of the Yue Kingdom were exterminated.
But the high priest Liu Liangren and others still retreated.
Wen Qingzhu sat in the Fengyang Pavilion and accompanied the dog to read a book.
When it got dark, Father-in-law Fang came over in person.
"Miss Wen, Your Majesty, please ...... He went over. ”
Father-in-law Fang looked at the dog, he really couldn't call such a name.
Wen Qingzhu didn't say much, and asked the dog to follow Father-in-law Fang after a few words.
After going out, Wen Qingzhu looked at the back of Father-in-law Fang, and suddenly asked, "Father-in-law, is Concubine Wei also where His Majesty is?" ”
Father-in-law Fang paused, then nodded, did not reply, and left with the dog.
This night, Wen Qingzhu has been dreaming.
In the past, it was rare to dream of his mother's mother, the Lu family, but Wen Qingzhu dreamed it this time.
Somehow, next to Lu's side, there was a woman who looked very similar to Lu's.
But Wen Qingzhu looked at her, as if he saw his own shadow.
She was dressed luxuriously, wearing a gorgeous palace costume made by her, with a gentle expression, and looked at Wen Qingzhu quietly.
Looking at it, Wen Qingzhu's vision became more and more blurred.
Then her eyes were bloody, and when she opened her eyes again, the deserted palace appeared in front of her.
Wen Qingzhu woke up suddenly and found that there was darkness in front of him.
Green Tao heard the movement, and Bing Candle walked in.
"Miss, are you having a nightmare?"
Wen Qingzhu turned around and got out of bed, walked to the window, and pushed it open.
The moon is sinking in the west, and a morning star has appeared in the eastern sky.
