Chapter 19: Tsing Yi Yuehua

With a clang, the wooden box fell to the ground, as if it had hit a mechanism, and a row of small holes were revealed in the walls of the four walls of the secret room, and black smoke filled the air.

Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly covered her throat and nose, trying to pick up something on the ground, but she couldn't try the slightest strength in her hands!

I didn't expect the poison of this poisonous silk to be so fierce, and it happened in the blink of an eye!

The black smoke was thick, Ji Yunxiao held her breath hard, and used the hand that was not poisoned to get something, and the spider seemed to have eyes, and it was a burst of silk at her hand fiercely.

Knowing the fierceness of the poisonous silk, Ji Yunxiao didn't dare to slack off, but her mind became even more dizzy.

Ji Yunxiao sealed the acupuncture points on both sides of his shoulder, and a trace of red oozed from the corners of his mouth.

Toxic smoke is penetrating into the skin and cannot be left behind! Ji Yun smiled and made up his mind, pay attention to a quick solution.

However, the smoke became more and more thick, and the light of the night pearl was soon obscured.

Ji Yunxiao tried hard to open her eyes, I don't know if this poisonous smoke was mixed with something that confused her vision, and even she, a person who has practiced martial arts all year round, has reduced her night vision to no lower limit.

Just when Ji Yun was smiling and groping around, there was a sudden noise in his ears.

“…… Look around, there was obviously some noise here just now, if you enter the category of thieves and lose something, even ten heads are not enough for you to compensate! ”

"Yes!"

“……”

Have you been discovered?

Judging by the hearing, it should be above the secret room.

Ji Yunxiao looked at the black smoke on all sides, holding one of the poisoned arms.

smiled bitterly, it seems that today is destined to return in vain.

…………

Ji Yunxiao cautiously came out of the secret room, and as soon as he walked to his courtyard, he saw the housekeeper anxiously pacing there.

When I saw her coming, I was relieved at first, and then I quickly walked towards her.

"Butler, ...... you are here" was discovered? Ji Yunxiao was a little puzzled, but judging from the expression on the face of the wooden butler, it shouldn't be for this.

Really......

"The prince is in trouble!" The wooden butler had a solemn expression, "Follow me into the palace." ”

Ji Yunxiao was a little surprised, there are few people in Yeyang Kingdom who can still make trouble for Emperor Jiushu.

"What the hell is going on?" Talk as you go.

When they arrived at the gate of the Nine Princes' Mansion, there were already people waiting there with a carriage ready.

Seeing the wooden butler coming, the groom was about to get the horse mat, but the wooden butler raised his hand to stop him, "Unload the car, prepare two horses!" ”

It was rare for the subordinates to see such a solemn expression on the face of Mugu's house, and they were stunned for a moment, and after returning to their senses, the horse quickly went to unload the carriage and prepare the horse.

Ji Yunxiao was also fogged by his gloomy atmosphere, and was about to ask for the second time, when he heard the wooden butler look at the direction of the palace and said slowly: "The worship festival is going on as usual, and everything is fine, but when the envoys were feasted at the Xiting night, the queen took out a double phoenix cup that she had treasured for many years for the envoys to enjoy. ”

"Butler!" The man unloaded the carriage and led the two horses over.

"Get on the horse and say!" The wooden butler turned over, Ji Yunxiao didn't dare to slack off, took the reins of the horse, and jumped on a horse.

The horse's hooves galloped like arrows, and smoke and dust billowed all the way.

A conversation between the two was heard in the air.

"What the hell is going on?"

"The Shuangfeng Chaohuang Cup disappeared after the banquet, the queen is furious about it, the prince is in charge of the security of the palace this time, and he has been called by the emperor to the Qiankun Palace for questioning, and he hasn't gone out for more than an hour!"

It's a big deal that the queen's things are gone! It stands to reason that as long as all the people present are brought over and questioned one by one, it is easy to find the murderer of the theft.

Tonight, however, was different.

At the pilgrimage festival, the envoys of the island countries present are either the ministers of the island countries or the highly respected ministers of the DPRK and China, which is related to the face of the country.

What's more, this time it was the famous Nine Princes and Emperor Jiushu who were responsible for the safety of the palace!

No wonder the wooden butler was in such a hurry.

But......

"This is a major event in the palace, even if you bring a slave into the palace, it's useless?" Ji Yun smiled a little funny, wouldn't the wooden butler be in a hurry to go to the doctor and casually pull someone in to give Di Jiu a strong voice, right?

"You were able to help the prince escape from that group of killers that day, and afterwards he went in and out of the palace alone to obtain medicinal herbs, your courage and skill are by no means ordinary, and bringing you with you may be of any help to the prince." The wooden butler was resolute, looked at the palace towering in front of him, reined in his horse, and said, "Woo...... It's here! ”

Ji Yunxiao was helpless in his heart, and he was very unhappy with the wishful thinking of the wood butler, what kind of logic is this!

However, since everyone is here, she can't help but back down.

Or, when you attack her later, you will pretend to be deaf and dumb, and ignore anything, and this fire will not burn on her!

The wooden butler took the token of the Nine Kings' Mansion and entered the palace unimpeded.

"You wait here now, I'll go find out what's going on first."

Ji Yun smiled and nodded, standing in the pavilion, watching the wooden butler leave.

The palace is important, and there are rows of guards patrolling back and forth in a moment.

Ji Yunxiao leaned against the stone pillar and raised his head to stare at the night sky.

Tonight's moon is exceptionally round and bright.

Illuminating the palace hall, the lights are in the shadows, and some are dreamlike.

In the past, I always laughed at this deep palace cage and was trapped.

How long has it been since you left, and you have begun to be nostalgic for that kind of prison life?

Carrying the world, gossip in hand, burning incense and silence, and not asking about the world......

She thought she would be like this for the rest of her life, but she couldn't escape the fateful hexagram after all!

Ji Yun laughed at herself, and suddenly a starlight caught her attention!

The star was shining brightly, but the star track was a little offset, as if it was approaching the crape myrtle star, but the closer it got, the more the starlight on the body dimmed.

Ji Yunxiao stretched out his hand, his fingertips slightly pointed, and he calculated.

However, no matter how she calculated, it came to nothing!

Her heart trembled! She has followed her master into the hexagram since she was a child, and there is no unbreakable appearance in the world!

Is this another portent?

Just as she was pondering, there was a sudden slight noise from the side of the rockery.

With good hearing, he can hear the other person's conversation word for word.

“…… Sister Ruyi, I heard that from Sister Mingyu, who was serving at the night banquet just now, is it true? ”

"No, I just came out of the West Palace after asking." Thinking about it, she was also miserable, and she was always behind. The court did things, but because of the last incident with the concubine, she was transferred to the front yard, I thought the time was a good errand, but I didn't expect it to end up like this! Ay!

"Sister Ruyi, don't be sad, at least you can get out safely now, but I heard Sister Mingyu say that as soon as that incident came out, the emperor and queen passed on the nine princes, one in the Qiankun Palace, and now it's almost two hours, and there hasn't been any breath yet."

"That's what you said, hey!"

"Sister Ruyi, do you think the Ninth Prince will be fine?"

"This ...... I can't say for sure! Let's not say that the theft of the Shuangfeng Chaohuang Cup is a dereliction of duty by the Nine Princes, and the queen is the biological mother of the prince, and the Nine Princes suppress His Royal Highness the prince everywhere on weekdays, this time the queen sees the opportunity and is not good to win back a game for the prince? ”

"Huh?" The little palace maid was a little surprised.

"Hehe, that's nothing. I'm most afraid, this incident is a play written and directed by His Royal Highness and the Queen! ”

"Well, this, probably not, I think...... Actually......"

"If you want to say anything, just say it, the princess and the guards have all been transferred to the Qiankun Palace, and there are no outsiders here." After the palace maid finished speaking, she was angry, "Unless you treat me as an outsider!" ”

"No, no, no, Sister Ruyi, don't say that, if it weren't for your intercession for me in front of the queen, otherwise, I would have been scolded to death by the rod, Ah Yuan's life is Ruyi's sister's, how can I treat my sister as an outsider." The little palace maid named Ah Yuan hurriedly explained, "But, sister, let me tell you something, you must not tell anyone." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"I ...... When I was refilling the lamp oil in the Changyan Palace just now, I saw a messenger with a panicked face, and I was curious and went over to take a look. As a result, I saw the messenger take out a cup from his sleeve, which looked very much like the queen's double phoenix cup, hmm......"

The little palace maid was covered with her mouth as she spoke, and the palace maid who called Ruyi covered the person, carefully checked around a few times, and after making sure that there was no one, she let go of her hand and lowered her voice: "Do you know what you're talking about?" This is a big deal, and if you are not careful, you will lose your head! ”

"I was also here to this serious matter, so I was scared away at the time, and I only told Sister Ruyi about you, I don't know what to do."

The palace maid Ruyi was silent for a moment, "Are you sure you really saw it?" ”

"It's true! Besides, there is only a double phoenix cup in the hands of the mother in the world, is it possible that there is a second one? ”

"You said this today, forget it tomorrow, and don't talk about it to anyone again!"

"Yes, my sister taught me a lesson!"

"......" The two of them left in a hurry.

Ji Yunxiao frowned and thought about it, there was such a big trouble, but the thieves were among the messengers, this matter was a little tricky.

She smiled, not worried, a little gloating.

At the right time, the wooden butler went and returned, his face was gloomy, and he sighed: "The prince asked you to go back to the house first, you go back first......"

"Well, butler, you ......"

"Niangniang handed over the little prince to me before her death, I will be where the prince is, this is what I owe to Niangniang."

"Mother?" It's rare to hear Di Jiushu mention things about his biological mother.

"The palace gate is going to be closed, and the whole city is closed for the night, so you can leave quickly." The wooden butler's back was thin, and he gradually grew old under the shadow of the lamp.

Ji Yun smiled and walked a few steps, looking at the lotus leaves that had revealed new shoots in the water, and there was a woman standing opposite at some point. If you don't look closely, you can't see it at all.

In the moonlight, the image was dyed with a layer of hoarfrost, and its shoulders were slightly shrunk, as if it had stood for a long time.
