Chapter 282: Exploring the Cold Palace at Night
"What, Hanqi Palace?" Mu Xiwan frowned and looked at the insatiable man in front of him, "Hanqi Palace is located in the middle of nowhere, and in the early years, it was a place for concubines who committed crimes, and it was a cold palace. Later, because there were dead people, no one went, and after a long time, it was deserted, and now it is just a deserted palace, where does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go? ”
"You don't need to know my purpose, remember your promise, what do I say you do, you just say you know where that place is?" Qi Cheng'an did not say his purpose clearly.
Mu Xiwan was curious, how did he, a prince of another country, know that there was a place called Hanqi Palace in this palace in just a few days.
"Say, you go in and out of the palace frequently, you must know this place." He didn't give Mu Xiwan a chance to make excuses at all.
"I know." Mu Xiwan hesitated for a moment, knowing that she couldn't say it, so she said in a low voice, "At the northwest corner where the north gate comes in." ”
"Oh, that's where it is." Qi Cheng'an nodded after listening, looking thoughtful.
"Can I go in, there are a lot of people tonight, and you and I can't avoid being seen by the palace maid or eunuch who suddenly came out here." Mu Xiwan cautiously observed the dark surroundings and found that it was very quiet.
"Don't worry, the prince's guards are following behind, and no one can get close."
Mu Xiwan was speechless, this guy has always been bold, and he came to the palace to attend the banquet, and only brought a guard behind him. But also, with his identity, let alone dying in Darong, even a little injury will cause a war between the two countries, and Feng Chengyi was also busy because of this matter a few days ago.
"You can go, Crown Princess." Coming out for too long will also arouse the suspicion of others, Qi Chengan has achieved his goal, so he will not embarrass her.
Mu Xiwan nodded, turned around and left without hesitation. Along the way, she deliberately chose a corner with poor lighting to avoid being seen.
As soon as she entered the hall, Feng Chengyi followed, grabbed her arm and whispered, "Where did you just go?" ”
"I have something to tell you." Mu Xiwan said in a low voice, and was about to speak, but when he saw Qi Chengan walking in slowly, he stopped again.
Feng Chengyi glanced at her reaction, guessed the general idea in his heart, and was not in a hurry to hear what was happening, but pretended that nothing had happened, and continued to return to his seat to drink.
Mu Xiwan followed and sat next to him, also looking like nothing had happened.
The dinner in the hall continued to be lively, and after a while, more than a dozen maiko wearing red veils walked in one after another and stood in the center.
Qi Cheng'an's vision on the other side was blocked, and Mu Xi saw the opportunity to act late, and quickly dipped his fingers in the wine and wrote the words "Hanqi Palace" on her table.
Feng Chengyi pretended to drink, his eyes were fixed on the action of writing in her hand, and when he saw these three words, he paused and glanced at her.
"Sword dye." Mu Xiwan whispered.
Feng Chengyi instantly understood, she asked him to send the sword dye to the Hanqi Palace.
"What did he say?" At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo music started, and the hall was lively for a while, and no one paid attention to this side, and the voice of speech was also muffled. Feng Chengyi looked at the dance in front of him without squinting, pretending to drink a glass of wine in his hand, and asked in a low voice.
Mu Xiwan glanced at the other side, and he didn't squint like him, even if someone saw it, they only saw the two of them drinking without communication, and no one could see their mouths moving and talking.
"Ask me the direction and location of the Hanqi Palace." Mu Xiwan said in a low voice.
"......" Feng Chengyi frowned, and seemed to understand Qi Cheng'an's intentions again for a moment.
"What does he want from there?" Mu Xi asked late.
"I don't know, no one has lived in Hanqi Palace for many years."
“…… I know. After a moment of silence, Mu Xiwan suddenly guessed his intentions.
"Huh?" Feng Chengyi raised his eyebrows.
"Hanqi Palace is a cold palace, the place in the northwest corner is loosely guarded, and there is generally no one to guard it, he wants to break through from that place and enter the palace in order to obtain something to achieve his goal." Thinking of this, Mu Xiwan naturally became nervous, and reminded him, "Let Jian Dye go, he will definitely visit the Hanqi Palace at night, no matter what he does, he can't let him succeed." ”
Feng Chengyi nodded in understanding, with a slight movement under his hand, and the person behind him leaned over.
Feng Chengyi whispered a few words, and the guard nodded and walked out quietly.
On the other side, Qi Cheng'an's bewitching body shook in front of his eyes, and he drank wine with a wine glass, but he didn't see anything.
In the dark night, there is a little crisis floating in the quiet atmosphere.
The Hanqi Palace in the northwest corner is shrouded in darkness by the shadow of the night, silent, only occasionally the cold wind blows, rolling up the sound of leaves and sundries on the ground, in this quiet and cold palace, it sets off a more strange atmosphere.
Suddenly, there were several noises outside the wall in the silent night, and I saw several figures in the dark night quietly jumping down from the wall and falling into the courtyard.
However, before those figures could stand firmly, more than a dozen people suddenly appeared around them, and the sharp blades quickly hit their necks one by one.
"Who!" Before the few people who were lurking in could make any moves, they were captured.
"Hey, it's so dark in the cold palace in the middle of the night, and there are still guests." One of Feng Chengyi's guards quipped in a low voice.
"Who are you?!" The man in black asked in a cold voice that seemed to be taking the lead.
They didn't know who the other party was, and it felt like they knew they were coming, so they set up an ambush here in advance. However, the plan to visit the cold palace at night was just issued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a quarter of an hour ago, so in such a short period of time, how could anyone know that their plan was still ambushed here?
"Who? Naturally, they are the ones who take your lives! Jian Ran walked out of the crowd and said coldly, "Take it all!" ”
"Yes."
It's night.
The dinner in the palace finally ended, Feng Chengyi took Mu Xi back to the East Palace, and when he left, Qi Cheng'an looked at the figures of the two and smiled unfathomably.
As soon as he left the palace gate, Jian Ran came out of nowhere quietly, and reported in a low voice: "All the people have been caught, and none of them will fall." ”
"Well done." Feng Chengyi nodded.
"So what now?"
"Take it to the dungeon of the East Palace." Mu Xiwan heard the conversation between the two and said in a low voice.
Tonight's action was swift and fast, and Qi Cheng'an definitely hadn't reacted at this time. But his people were arrested as soon as they were dispatched, and he would definitely suspect him, so these people could not be handed over to the government, and could only be brought back to the East Palace to be quietly disposed of by Feng Chengyi.
If it is handed over to the government, once Qi Chengan realizes that he betrayed him, he can't prevent the dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry and shaking off all his identities. If these people disappear without a trace, and he has nowhere to find them, I am afraid that he will think that the palace is closely guarded, and maybe it can also play a certain deterrent role for him.
