Chapter 55: The Royal Secret

This thought was just a flash, and then I thought that so many years of cultivation were not in vain, anyway, Ling Jun had already been on Biyou Mountain and had seen a group of fellow disciples, and the matter between her and Ling Jun was only one sentence from the master, what did it matter if the county lord was not the county lord, she was not a person who was greedy for power. And Ling Jun is even easier to speak, he is a casual cultivator, there are no strict rules, fame and fortune are really a passing thing for him, so as soon as this matter is over, they will return to Biyou Mountain, and the master and elders will testify, and the matter between her and Ling Jun will be completed.

After three or four days of such a leisurely life, there was a waiter who came to report that Concubine An made trouble in Yukun Palace. Yukun Palace is the queen's bedroom, and it is very disrespectful for a concubine to make trouble there.

The three of them glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts: Sure enough, something happened!

When they arrived at Yukun Palace, the queen was closing her eyes, leaning on the couch and checking her pulse by the imperial doctor, not knowing whether she was angry or frightened. Zhiying looked around and found that Concubine An was not here.

The imperial doctor over there diagnosed the pulse, prescribed the medicine, and sent it out by the palace maid. The queen slowly opened her eyes, and her gaze fell on Zhiying.

"The palace has a few words to say to the lord of Zhiying, and everyone else retreats. ”

As soon as these words came out, more than 20 palace maids and attendants withdrew one after another, and Zhijie and Ling Jun glanced at each other and went out.

Zhiying slowly helped the queen up, and served the queen to drink a cup of tea before asking, "I don't know what the queen wants to say to me?"

The queen supported her forehead with her hand, obviously looking very uncomfortable, and she calmed down before she spoke: "You must have heard that Concubine An made a big fuss about Yukun Palace." ”

Zhiying nodded, "Yes, I just heard about this and came here." ”

The queen smiled bitterly: "In vain, I have always regarded myself as a **, and a few days ago I told you that the country and the people are safe and the royal dignity is righteous, but now even I am disturbed by a concubine here, really..."

"Why should Niangniang be presumptuous," Zhiying comforted: "In my opinion, there must be something strange about this matter, maybe even Concubine An herself may not understand what happened." ”

"You mean to say that Concubine An is controlled by people without knowing it?"

Zhiying shook her head, "It's hard to say what the situation is with Concubine An, but she has been guarding herself in the Lingxi Hall these days, and when I went to see her, she was also happy, and this state couldn't be pretended, so she suddenly turned her face, there must be a reason for this." She didn't tell the queen about the key, otherwise the queen would not have given up, and now she didn't want to make any more trouble.

"I don't know what Concubine An and Niangniang said, making Niangniang unhappy?" asked Zhiying sideways.

The queen's face changed, and the royal secrets were not enough for outsiders, "It's just some old things, but I didn't expect her to know at a young age." "Is there really a ghost in this world? After this, the queen's heart was shaken, but she didn't plan to tell Ying Ming yet.

Zhiying sees the changes in the queen, and things are really not that simple, but since the queen herself doesn't want to say it, Zhiying will not be difficult. "I don't know where Concubine An is now, I want to go and see her. ”

"It's in the side hall, go by yourself. The queen was terrified, her mind was damaged, and she had no energy to greet Zhiying anymore.

Zhiying knew that the queen was uncomfortable, so she didn't say much that she went to the side hall.

Entering the side hall, Zhiying found that it was heavily guarded, but thinking of Concubine An's "feat" of beating the forbidden army before, these people should not be embarrassed for her. Sure enough, Concubine An could still laugh when she saw Zhiying.

"You've come to see me, that's rude. "Her hair was a little messy and her clothes were wrinkled, but there were no visible injuries on her body, and overall, she wasn't too embarrassed.

"What's going on?"

"Probably for people to take advantage of. Concubine An sighed, "I was used to being unknown before, but now I am a little uncomfortable." ”

Zhiying ignored her self-ridicule, but asked, "What's going on today, I don't think the queen's face is very good." ”

Concubine An sneered: "You said it too tactfully, not only is it not very good, it is simply like ashes." ”

When Zhiying saw the queen, although her face was bad, she was not as concubine An said, from this point of view, the queen is also a person who is used to covering up, but the blow is too great, and she has not eased up for a while.

"Then what did you say to the queen to make her like that? Zhi Ying said curiously.

"It's just some rumors. I was just trying to disgust her, but she reacted so much that I suspected that the rumors were true. ”

"What rumors?"

"When the queen was young, she didn't like Your Majesty, but liked a guard, and then the two almost eloped, but the queen temporarily changed her hexagram, and the guard committed suicide with a sword in a fit of rage, and swore before dying that he would come back to take revenge on her. ”

"I see, but she said before, 'Zi Bu is strange and confused', but she didn't expect that she was still carrying a curse. ”

"Hmph, sanctimonious. Concubine An said disdainfully.

"Then what should you do now, you can't stay in the queen's side hall all the time. ”

"Don't worry, when the queen comes to her senses, she will let me go back. "Concubine An is confident.

Zhiying was surprised to see her so fearless, "You're not worried about the consequences of angering the queen at all?"

"What's there to worry about, it's not like I haven't messed with it before, Imperial Garden, don't you remember?"

Zhiying was speechless and changed the subject, "What were you like before?"

"Before?" Concubine An was puzzled for a moment, and then understood, "You mean before I came back from the dead, right? At that time, anyone could scare anyone. ”

Zhiying's intuition told her that Concubine An was telling the truth, but she still couldn't quite imagine Concubine An being bullied, after all, she had only seen Concubine An after the resurrection.

"Don't look at me with that kind of disbelief, if you didn't know my details, you dare to say that you can see my skills at a glance?" Concubine An said mercilessly.

Zhiying was forced by her to have nothing to say, so she had to retreat, "I see that you are fine, so I won't stay longer." ”

Concubine An was dissatisfied: "Why is this so, don't let people tell the truth." ”

Zhiying only couldn't hear, three steps and two steps out of the side hall, the queen drank the medicine and fell asleep, and Zhiying didn't bother. On the way back, Zhijie and Lingjun were waiting for her halfway, and the three of them went through the matter again, but they still didn't gain much.

"It's not always like this, how long and how long will it take us to finish this matter?" said Zhijie with some annoyance.

"I did notice one thing. Zhi Ying said thoughtfully.

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that Concubine An has a guard next to her who is unusual to her. ”

"There is such a thing?" Zhijie was stunned, "Didn't you just say that the queen likes guards, does Concubine An like it too?" ”

"I don't know if Concubine An likes it or not, but the guard's eyes when he looks at Concubine An are definitely not ordinary. "Zhiying likes Ling Jun, so she can feel that when she really likes someone, even the eyes are different, that kind of uniqueness, which cannot be described in words.

"Well, even if there are guards who like Concubine An, it's a big deal that there is another royal secret, and it has nothing to do with what we want to investigate. ”

"That's not the case. Ling Jun said, "If there are really guards who like Concubine An, then it will have something to do with the person who resurrected Concubine An." Imagine, a guard, powerless, who loves the harem concubines but doesn't dare to let her know, and can't help her, at this time, a person with the ability to defy the sky suddenly appears, and is willing to take the initiative to help this poor person, do you think he will be tempted?"

After hearing Ling Jun say this, Zhijie began to think about this possibility, "You are right, if such a person appeared when Concubine An was dying, it would be a lifesaver to grasp no matter what." Moreover, Concubine An's ability after resurrection also shows that the people behind the scenes hope that Concubine An will become stronger. ”

"What about the key, the people behind the scenes are obviously trying to take advantage of Concubine An, is our presence here also the result of calculations?" asked the question with a skeptical attitude, he felt that there were too many conspiracies.

Zhiying and Lingjun glanced at each other, and their concern was obvious. If, as the festival said, it was a trap from the beginning, and the purpose was to invite the king into the urn, then their situation would be very bad.

"Since we came, there will always be a time when things will come to light, and it is useless to be anxious. Zhiying calmed down, "The top priority is to investigate that guard clearly, and whether Concubine An's matter has anything to do with him is a key point." ”

"Yes, if he just loves Concubine An and is ashamed to express it, it's nothing, if he really has something to do with Concubine An's resurrection, then he must have made a deal with the people behind the scenes. Ling Jun added.

After listening to these analyses, he shook his head and tried to digest this information, "Now the guard is the key, then the senior sister will let you bring that guard here, what is going on, let him explain it himself." ”

Zhiying thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, so he really went to the Lingxi Hall to capture the guard.

It's not that Zhiying is reckless, but this guard is alert, and ordinary words can't deceive him, so he has no choice but to come up with a killer feature: the secret of the guard's love for the concubine. He was so angry that he raised his hand to draw his sword, but fortunately Zhiying was one step ahead of him, snatched the sword and subdued him.

"If you want to kill, you have to listen to the venerable, if you want to find evidence against Concubine An from me, don't be delusional. "This guard is very young, but he is full of pride, and he looks like he is at home.

Zhiying admired his spirit of not being afraid of death, "If you were like this when Concubine An died, she wouldn't have come back to life." The guard had prepared for the worst, but when he heard this, his expression changed drastically. Sure enough, the instinct of holding profit was correct.

"You don't have to be hard-mouthed, I know it all. Zhiying gave him an affirmative look.
