The night was hazy, and the thin falling rain cast a thin veil over the faintly sprinkled moonlight, making the already dim light even more dim.

After Xiao Ciyu, who had already stepped on the ground, observed the terrain by the hazy moonlight, he easily jumped a few times and directly climbed into the backyard of the rouge shop with the dark guard.

In the courtyard, most of the lights have been extinguished, except for one hut, which still emits a faint yellow light.

…

Palace.

"Lan Xi, sit down and rest for a while." Bai Yinran rubbed her eyes and sighed lightly, "You are going around like this, so that my eyes are spent." ”

Concubine Ning also agreed: "It's just to investigate the situation, and there are secret guards to protect you, so you don't have to be too nervous." ”

"I understand..."Shen Lanxi slowly paced to the nearest chair and sat down, but then, her brows tightened again, "But he just walked in person, and I was still nervous..."

"If you want to reap, you have to pay, don't you?" Concubine Ning soothed, "He is the one who knows the whole thing best, if he can go and see it for himself, the chances of discovering the secret will be much greater." And as long as there is a harvest, he will be considered to have earned this trip. ”

"But I'm afraid, this is also part of the other party's plan." Shen Lanxi frowned, "For example, deliberately leaving a flaw to lure him over, so that he would be in danger..."

"This..."Concubine Ning and Bai Yinran glanced at each other.

They understood what Shen Lanxi meant, and she was worried that they had misguessed each other's intentions in the first place. If the other party does not decide to delay the trip, but decides to bait directly in Yuzhou, then this trip will be dangerous.

"I don't rule out the possibility you said, but I think this possibility should not be big." Concubine Ning pondered, "The junior brother is from Yuzhou, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know about it. If he has three long and two short in Yuzhou, none of these officials in Yuzhou will be able to escape.

"If something happened to him, these people had to be buried together, and if he was only injured, he would have taken care of these people himself.

"Even if these people are planning to change the dynasty directly, they should ensure that King Jinyang can ascend to the throne as soon as possible, right?

"But right now, there is King Cheng Nan and a prince in the capital, and they don't have any advantages."

"I think so too." Bai Yinran nodded, "It's not a wise move to do it on your own turf, besides... I don't think Concubine You has the guts to do so. ”

Concubine You is a cautious person, and she has always looked forward to doing things. Decisive attack on the emperor? She felt that Concubine You couldn't do this.

The woman, at most, stabbed her in the back.

After some persuasion by the two, Shen Lanxi finally relaxed a lot.

But after a turn of thought, she found a detail from Bai Yinran's words: "Yinran, you just said that Concubine You doesn't have the guts..."

"Isn't it?" Bai Yinran was puzzled.

"No, I'm just thinking..."After grasping the point, Shen Lanxi's thoughts quickly became clear, "The reason why she has fallen into this fate is because she cares too much about it, and she always likes to think about her family."

"So, will it be the same when she's doing the thing at the moment?"

"What are you trying to express?"

"In order not to cause a big upheaval and involve the family, that... Could the emperor himself not be her target? After a pause, Shen Lanxi said again, "Or, at least her purpose is not to make the emperor hurt on the surface..."
