After the entrance of the cave came out, Eleven jumped up first, and then pulled Qiu Xiaobei, who climbed up with weak feet, into the cave, and then Fan Shenxi, and another shadow guard who protected Fan Shenxi.

I don't know what happened in the cave for the time being, but the first thing that came into view was a platform, and the black hole inside didn't know where it led, as soon as he got to the platform, Qiu Xiaobei couldn't support it anymore and sat on the ground a few times, and on the other side, the shadow guard opened the wheelchair he brought up and let Fan Shenxi sit on it.

Qiu Xiaobei didn't care about resting, got up and went to Fan Shenxi's side, rolled up his sleeve to check him, sure enough, the inside of his arm was red and swollen from rubbing, she was so distressed that she hurriedly took out the wound medicine and smeared it on him, afraid that he would hurt, and puffed out her cheeks to blow him.

He was drugged with one hand, and stroked her hair with the other, and his eyes became a little pale: "Your husband is incompetent, and you have to worry about him." ”

If his legs were good, he could have carried her all the way up, instead of making her worry about him all the time, because it was hard to carry a child, and she had to work hard for him.

Qiu Xiaobei rubbed the medicine for him and pulled down his sleeves: "Husband and wife are one, there is nothing I worry about for you and you worry about me, who is not good, the other is not happy, isn't it?" ”

She wrapped her hand around him, kissed him on the back of her hand, and looked up at him with a sweet smile: "You don't have to worry about me, I promise your love, there are many, many good fortunes, I and the child, will be fine." ”

He had protected her well a long time ago.

He paused, and then smiled, although it was faint, but she just thought he smiled beautifully.

After resting, they began to make their way to their goal, the black hole.

……

Wei Qing was going to be angry.

She deliberately said that she didn't go to Yuhong Courtyard with Fan Shenxi because she was sick, she just wanted to touch the treasury of the East Palace and steal something.

Even if Empress Ling has been dead for many years, the three armies she once commanded have long been disrupted and re-interspersed in various armies, but it is said that as long as you can take out a token of Empress Ling's former characteristics, even if some of the soldiers have been assimilated, there will also be more soldiers who will come out to support you.

Not to mention, there is also the legendary strange soldier, as long as there is that token, you can summon the strange soldier who has disappeared for many years back!

When she knew that this token was likely to be in the warehouse, she naturally had to look for it secretly, and it would definitely be impossible for Fan Shenxi to succeed in the situation, but Fan Shenxi would go to live in another courtyard for a few days, which was not her chance.

Although the personal maid said that such an important token is placed in the treasury, is it too casual?

"The most dangerous place is also the safest," she said to the maidservant at the time, "just because everyone thinks that such an important thing cannot be placed in such a conspicuous place, the more important it is, and no one knows what the token looks like, and you don't know if it is placed in front of you." ”

Anyway, it's just a probe, even if there is no them, Wei Qing is somewhat self-aware, with Fan Shenxi's dislike for her, it is not necessary to treat her differently after staying in the courtyard together for a few days, it is better to put the opportunity here.

No matter how she is not treated, she is also the crown princess appointed by the emperor and the queen mother, on the surface, the people in the East Palace dare not be disrespectful to her, so she took advantage of this to steal the key from a steward who can enter and exit the treasury and count it, and imitate one.

With a false pretense, she transferred some of the guards guarding the treasury, and for the rest, she first let her people go up to find fault and block their view, and she sneaked in herself.

Because she was able to make a splash in this group of East Palace guards, she must have the prestige of the handmaid close to her, and because the token was too important, she had to go in and find it herself.

Compared with the heavy security outside, I really entered the warehouse and found that it was very ...... inside Quiet, inexplicably, a few wisps of chill appeared in Wei Qing's heart.

She let herself think wildly, and made an appointment with someone outside about a stick of incense, and when the time was up, she would make trouble again to give her a chance to go out.

In the storeroom, there are many shelves, many cabinets, and all kinds of boxes and boxes, and even treasures that are not put away and placed directly on the table, such as a tall two-meter tree made of fine jade in the center, red coral, extinct calligraphy or ancient paintings hanging on the wall, and pearls as big as pigeon eggs hanging as decorations......

There is no need to rummage through the cabinets, these things that are just placed outside are priceless, she never knows, how can a prince who has only risen in recent months and has not been paid for many years come from such a rich family background?

Rao is wealthy family, she has seen a lot of treasures, she is a little moved, fortunately, she still remembers her first task, pressed it down and began to rummage through the cabinets to find it.

She thought that one day she would really become the master of the East Palace, and even the entire palace, then everything here would be hers, and she might not care when the time came.

It's good to talk about the shelves and some unlocked boxes and boxes, but more of them are locked, and the keys that Wei Qing has prepared in the past two days can only open a few of them, but there are no token things that can be opened.

The guards of the East Palace are not so easy to fool, and if they can come in this time, it is somewhat because they are afraid of the title of the crown princess, and they may not be able to find a chance next time, and if it drags on, as soon as Fan Shenxi comes back, let alone think about it.

Every time she was in front of the prince, she had the feeling that he saw through her completely and wanted to do something sneaky.

So after thinking about it for a moment, she was going to pick the locks.

She picked the most hidden box or chest to pick, but when she picked two locks, except for being blinded by the contents, she did not find what she wanted, and the door to the inner storeroom, that is, the room where she was, was kicked open.

It was so sudden that she didn't even have a warning, so she could only get the stolen goods and Cheng Lu in front of Jing Ning and another steward, she held the crime tool in one hand and the lock in the other.

Jing Ning shouted in surprise: "Crown princess? How could it be you? ”

At this shout, the people who didn't come in behind knew who had stolen into the warehouse.

"I, I'm ......" Wei Qing really couldn't find the words, so he simply stood up, took out his aura, and asked Jing Ning in turn, "This palace is a dignified princess, what's wrong with coming in the East Palace treasury to find something?" ”

Jing Ning probably realized that she would be so shameless, and said with a smile: "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not agree that you could come in." ”

"This palace is the master mother of the East Palace, and these should be managed by this palace."

"Then Your Highness must agree." Jing Ning said politely, "Why don't you go back first, and when His Highness comes back, then ask him to discuss?" When the time comes, the minions will no longer stop you from coming here. ”

Wei Qing snorted, walked to the door, and said coldly to Jing Ning and the steward: "This is a matter for the palace and His Highness, if you slaves don't worry about it, and don't let it go, it's really disturbed by you that I don't feel good at all." ”

When Jing Ning and the others retreated to both sides, she walked out with her head held high.

Wei Qing was naturally not so annoyed, but it was just a "Zhengda" reason for herself to leave here, so she held on to her aura and Jing Ning, thinking about going out first, and then talking about her identity as the crown princess, they didn't dare to do anything to her, what she should be worried about was how Fan Shenxi would pursue her after she came back, and she had to think of a way first.

It's just that she didn't expect that this matter would spread out quickly, not only did everyone in the East Palace know, but also heard about it outside, and the princess couldn't wait to sneak into the treasury before the prince handed over the rights of the "master mother" to her when the prince was away.

Even if this era is a little more tolerant of women, it is also based on the fact that on the basis of men (husbands, fathers), Wei Qing's behavior can be regarded as stealing, so offensive to their husbands, women listen to spurning, men shake their heads, thinking that their own backyard is going to enter this wife, won't their money be ruined?

Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife is to let the wife guard the backyard and money for herself, the crown princess is good, she is just married, and she steals her husband's things while the prince is away, it's simple.

After Wei Qing knew these rumors, he was so angry that he crushed the veil, and immediately called Jing Ning to reprimand, Jing Ning said innocently, he thought it was a thief at the time, so he naturally brought a group of people in, who knew that it was the crown princess, so many people, the mouth was on them, Jing Ning said that he couldn't control it, and he couldn't find out who said it first.

Without waiting for Wei Qing to continue to accuse, the Queen Mother came to announce her past, which was nothing more than to reprimand her for not being like words, being unstable, being too greedy, being too impatient, etc., and punishing her to copy a copy of the Heart Sutra.

However, at this time, her personal maid brought her a piece of news that shocked her.

Xiao Tao was very young when she was by Wei Qing's side, and learned Wei Qing's temperament ten out of ten, she helped Wei Qing to make trouble in front of the guards guarding the warehouse, and the guards endured her for a long time, and after "discovering" someone broke into the warehouse, she was finally able to be unkind to her as a matter of course, and beat her out with a palm, and it was definitely not going to be killed, but she was still beaten with internal injuries.

Wei Qing herself was angry, where to manage the maidservant, Xiao Tao could only go to the imperial doctor to take a look, fortunately, the princess's name was still easy to use outside the East Palace, although it was just a little maidservant, but there were also imperial doctors who were willing to take a look at her and prescribe a prescription for her.

She originally wanted people to boil medicine for her, when she was in the Duke of Wei's mansion, she mostly wanted to please her little maid to do things for her, but in the East Palace, it is not that she can't move, the people in the East Palace are well-trained, at least the people who are the princess and the princess are very polite on the surface, if they don't do it, the kind of thing that bullies them because the princess is not favored will not happen in the East Palace.

The problem is that Xiao Tao herself spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the princess's attempt to steal the prince's treasury has been spread, she always feels that everyone in the East Palace has bad intentions, if she gives them to decoction for herself, she doesn't know what to put in her medicine, and wants Wei Guogong to marry other maids to fry, but there are only a few in total who can marry over, the nurse's injury is not healed and she can't get out of bed, and the others have to serve by the princess's side, and in the end, she can only decoct herself by herself.

A person in the dining room found a corner where no one was staying, following Wei Qing, she didn't have the master's life but learned the master's disease, she couldn't stand it when she was choked by the smoke, and kicked over the shelf on the side angrily, the shelf was put in such a corner of the place is useless, and a lot of debris was accumulated, and it was not very firm, and she kicked it and fell down, and even turned out with a few jars, one of which poured out some medicinal residue, which was the kind that had been tormented.

And it looks like it fell here not long ago.

Xiao Tao felt strange, what kind of medicinal herbs needed to be hidden in such a secret corner?

So, taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, she picked up the dregs of the medicinal herbs, and then roughly straightened the shelf, and continued to pretend to boil the medicine for herself, and then quietly found a time to go to the hospital again, and looked for the doctor who begged her to see the dregs.

"This ...... This is a tocolytic. ”

Xiao Tao was taken aback: "Are you sure?" ”

Before this in the East Palace, there was only one side concubine, who had died, and the crown princess had just entered the East Palace, and she had not yet been rounded, so who was this fetal pill that was only shelved for a few days?

When she told Wei Qing about this, Wei Qing couldn't believe it: "Are you serious? How is this possible, the crown prince, isn't he not good? ”

"Niangniang, who said that the prince is not, he can't," after all, he is a woman, and when it comes to this kind of thing, Xiao Tao is also a little embarrassed, "He said that he was not in good health, but he didn't say that he couldn't, he couldn't, maybe he was deliberately confusing you." ”

"But he doesn't have a woman next to him now...... No, there are many palace maids around him, so he said that Jing'an follows him every day, and this time the other courtyard also followed. "Maybe I already have a leg with the prince.

Wei Qing sat up straight, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, if there was really another woman who was pregnant with the prince's child before her, it would have a great impact on her status, "But if there is really a woman who is pregnant with his heir, why doesn't he say it, why don't you give her a name?" ”

It is nothing for the master to pamper his personal palace maid, and the emperor has a precedent of making the palace maid around him a concubine.

"Could it be, Your Highness, that he wants to protect that woman?"

When Wei Qing heard this, he nodded: "It's possible." ”

Don't look at Fan Shenxi's momentum now, but as long as he can't stand up for a day, his existence will be embarrassing, and his heirs will be remembered by everyone, so it's not impossible for him to protect the other party and hide it.

But this also shows even more that Fan Shenxi's attention to that woman, no matter what her feelings for Fan Shenxi are, she does not allow it.

Her hand grabbed the handkerchief and twisted it unconsciously, Xiao Tao saw it, and said with relief: "Niangniang don't worry, since she is carefully hidden by His Royal Highness, the identity of the woman must be lowly, as long as you find out, are you afraid that there is no way to deal with it?" Moreover, it is not certain that it is His Royal Highness now, maybe it was the palace maid who colluded with the guards to defile the palace? If it's the latter, you've also caught the handle of the East Palace, haven't you? ”

In this way, Wei Qing raised the corners of his mouth coldly.

On the other side, a eunuch hurriedly found Jing Ning.

"You say, the residue of those tocolytic pills is gone?"

"Yes, we're all piled together, and then we will dispose of it together every once in a while, and we haven't dealt with it after being busy for the past two days, and I felt that it was wrong when I passed by today, and I checked it and found that it was gone."

After all, it is a very obscure thing, if you deal with it every day, it is easier to attract the attention of others if it is too frequent, so collect the unused medicine residue into a piece and dispose of it once in a while.

"Why can't you see it, have you checked it out?"

"Have you looked for it, but, I heard that at noon, the maid Xiao Tao next to the crown princess used to decoct medicine nearby, just imagine, the people in the dining room are their own people, and they know a little bit about the situation of Grandpa Pei, and there has been no accident in three months, and the medicine residue disappeared as soon as she came."

"You mean, maybe she took it?" Jing Ning frowned deeply, "If that's the case, things may not be good, you go and look for it, don't be mistaken." ”

After the eunuch left, Jing Ning immediately contacted the person in charge of keeping an eye on the crown princess, and got the news that Xiao Tao went to the imperial hospital twice in one day, and immediately reported this time to the prince in the other hospital.

However, at this time, the crown prince was exploring a cave between the mountain walls with Qiu Xiaobei and two shadow guards.

Eleven and another shadow guard twelve, each took a night pearl and barely illuminated the passage, and the road they were walking on, at first, four people could still walk together, and the more they walked, the narrower it became, and now only one person passed, and they were getting more and more shaky, from barely feeling the slope, to the arms that needed to support both sides to prevent people from sliding down.

Finally, when they all had to hunch their backs to walk, Eleven, who was walking in front, came with the news that they saw a stone gate only one meter high, which was still arched.

Eleven tried to push hard, the door did not move at all, and then tried to break out, the door opened, when opened, because of the reason that it had been closed for a long time, a lot of dust fell down, under the illumination of the night pearl, you could see the flying dust, Eleven waved his hand, and bowed his body to get in first.

Qiu Xiaobei waited for a while, and waited until Eleven came out with "It's okay" before she got into it for the second time.

As soon as he entered, Qiu Xiaobei was shocked by everything he could see.

Don't look at the narrow and low corridor outside, the arch is so high, but the world inside is bigger.

She and Eleven stepped on a semicircular ground, the side of the semicircle is a ditch, standing on the side of the door and looking out, the ditch is just a little bit, and when she stands on the edge of the semicircle, she looks at it, the ditch is three or four meters wide, you can see how big the overall area is, the ditch flows like a liquid like silver water, on both sides of the ditch, one is the semicircle where they are, and on the other side there is ground twice as large as this semicircle, but the ground is also divided into two pieces by the vertical ditch connected with the semicircle ditch.

The whole picture is a large face, the middle half is divided, the other half is vertically divided, a total of three faces, the vertical ditch extends until the end of the ground, and then flows down like a waterfall, and below, there is a "silver well", or "silver lake", which is larger and wider than the three pieces of ground they are on combined.

In addition to the magnificent "Silver Water Lake" that can be felt from such a distance, what attracted her attention more was that on the three faces, there were two soldiers wearing armor, but this was not the shape of the armor that she saw as the armor general was transformed by aura, but the real armor, the person wearing the armor closed his eyes, judging from the shape and complexion, it was not a living person, but a dry corpse.

Because of the shock, Qiu Xiaobei stayed for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Eleven had stood like this for a long time without reacting, this really didn't look like the usual well-trained, and besides, they had been in for so long, why didn't they hear Fan Shenxi and Twelve call them?

"Eleven?" She shouted to the shadow guard, but the other party didn't react at all, and she didn't have the patience to wait, so she turned around first to look at the small arch behind her that was more than one meter high, and saw Fan Shenxi, who was in a wheelchair, being pushed in by Twelve.

"Heavy!"

Qiu Xiaobei called him and walked towards him, she didn't go far, she returned to the door in a few steps, but when she approached Fan Shenxi, she found that he was wrong.

He didn't look at her, he didn't even give her a look.

It would be nothing if it was in a safe place, but in this unknown and potentially dangerous place, with her understanding of Fan Shenxi, he should be the first to confirm whether she was okay or not.

"Heavy? Your Highness? ”

Qiu Xiaobei frowned, and stretched out his hand worriedly to put it on his shoulder, which was almost a subconscious act, and never thought that it would be stopped, and this time, before she touched Fan Shenxi, Twelve jumped out from behind, pulled out the saber that the guard should have dressed and swung at her, if she didn't feel that something was wrong and be careful to push it away in time, the knife would have to separate her neck.

"What do you do?"

She held her neck with one hand in disbelief, and her eyes stared at the twelve who were blocking Fan Shenxi, what made her even more unthinkable was that Fan Shenxi finally looked at her, but her cold and guarded gaze was like looking at a strange enemy.

"What's going on, what's wrong with you?"

"Who?" Twelve swung her knife at her as she tried to get closer, forcing her back again, unaware of her at all, asking, "What do you want to do?" ”

What's going on?

"What's wrong with you?" She first asked Twelve, and then turned her head sideways to look at Fan Shenxi, "Your Highness, I, Xiaobei, how can you not recognize me?" Wait a minute...... What does it taste like? ”

As soon as she came in here, she was first shocked by the current scene, and the low temperature here would affect people's sense of smell, so that she ignored the faint fragrance in the air.

If she hadn't misjudged, it was a hallucinogenic aroma that was so potent that before you knew it, you would have poisoned yourself and not know that what you were seeing was not real.

And because she is immune to all kinds of poisons, this hallucinogenic aroma can't affect her, but what's the use, among the four people, Fan Shenxi, who is in a wheelchair, has a higher force value than her, and I don't know what they see, if she treats her as a bad guy and wants to kill her, can she escape from the two powerful shadow guards?

What to do?

Calm and calm, everything is mutually reinforcing, she can find the antidote, she stared at Fan Shenxi's cold handsome face, gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
