Chapter Seventy-Seven: Trespassing on the Forbidden Land

After hiding Ni Yan and her maid in the bushes, Situ Youning took Qi Haotian to step into this forbidden place of the Ji Palace, when he was on the outer wall of the courtyard, Situ Youning's heart was inevitably a little uneasy, but when she thought of what Feng Yumo might have done to herself yesterday, a wave of anger overwhelmed her, and she had to do something to dissipate her anger.

The wall of the courtyard is much shorter than the outer wall of the palace, because the place where he lives can clearly see the appearance of this courtyard across the river, and he almost died because of this courtyard, so Situ Youning looked very carefully in the process of observation, the back wall of this courtyard and the back wall of the palace are the same, which made Situ Youning very surprised, since it used to live in Feng Yumo's favorite woman, then why did he let her live in the most unsafe courtyard in the palace? Under his own 'coercion', the housekeeper finally told the reason.

The original courtyard was called 'Feng Wu Ting', which was where Feng Yumo's deceased mother once lived, since the death of his mother, Feng Yumo did not arrange anyone to live here, until the woman in the painting appeared, the courtyard was not originally against the outer wall of the palace, it was after the woman lived in, it was expanded to the current state.

The moment he entered the courtyard, Situ Youning felt a chilling air, although it was inferred from the scenery seen outside that there must be a bamboo forest inside, but the area was amazingly large, from jumping off the courtyard wall to seeing a stone path about one meter wide in the middle, it took a lot of time for the two of them.

Stepping on the still wet soil, Situ Youning remembered what Feng Yaoyi had said to himself about the death of the woman in the painting, and couldn't help but shudder, although there is a moon tonight, and it is very round, but the dense pillars block all the moonlight, walking in the bamboo forest, except for the spider webs that are encountered from time to time, it is almost impossible to see the situation inside.

After groping their way forward in the darkness for some time, the two finally walked onto the stone path in the middle, and their eyesight recovered in the moonlight, and they walked towards the inside of the courtyard.

"Hey, you're still awake, aren't you?" In order to eliminate the fear in his heart, Situ Youning tried to wake up Qi Haotian.

But except for the faint sound of breathing, Situ Youning didn't get any response from Qi Haotian, she could only try to think of something happy or sad, in short, it was good to let herself forget her situation at this time, but what appeared in her mind was still the appearance of the woman in the painting when she died tragically, although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but listening to Feng Yaoyi's narration, coupled with the dense jungle on both sides of her side, Situ Youning could feel the tragic situation of the woman at that time for some reason.

Although her timid personality and the idea of wanting to run around completely conflicted, and she was ridiculed by people other than Situ Shaoqi because of this, but this did not affect Situ Youning's determination at all, she thought that courage should be grown up in continuous experience.

After walking tremblingly for about a few minutes, the vision in front of her began to widen, and Situ Youyou was relieved to follow, but at this moment, her feet were empty, and the two of them fell towards a pool beside them, and at the critical moment, Situ Youning pushed Qi Haotian to the shore and fell into the pool alone.

"What a negligent one." Situ Youning trembled and looked at Qi Haotian who was sitting beside him, and couldn't help but be glad that he didn't fall, otherwise he would have died in the arms of his favorite thing.

I was relaxed for a moment just now, and I didn't notice the pool next to me, but now I look at the whole yard, except for the bamboo forest, there is only this pool and a stone bridge in front of me, there is a pavilion on the stone bridge, a stone table and four stone benches are placed in it, not far from the pool, is the two-story house where the two are now.

Situ Youning looked back at the house behind him, now he didn't have time to wonder what was inside, his eyes casually swept over a wooden sign hanging above the door, the wooden card was gently swaying in the wind, and there seemed to be some pattern engraved on it, but it was not very clear in the moonlight.

Situ Youning shuddered, fed Qi Haotian some things, and after helping him change the medicine, she helped him walk towards the wall not far behind the house, and after bypassing the house, she found that there was a large open space between the house and the wall, which was overgrown with weeds.

The bamboo raft and cart were prepared by Situ Youning during the day, except for the outer wall, Situ Youning kept pushing Qi Haotian to a remote place by the river, and successfully moved him to the bamboo raft, completing Qi Haotian's commission, looking at the bamboo raft in the distance and Qi Haotian who was motionless above, Situ Youning's guilt could not be eliminated for a long time, but Qi Haotian, who had been closing his eyes tightly, opened his eyes at this time, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Feng Yaoyi, I, Qi Haotian, will definitely not let you go!"

After returning to the house, Situ Youning definitely did not escape Ni Yan's accountability, she still knelt in front of Ni Yan's door in the middle of the night, in addition to her hair still intact, she had become the same as Qi Haotian, her whole body was covered with scars left by whips, as soon as she entered the palace, she was stopped by the guards with a timid face, Situ Youning didn't want to embarrass them, and obediently let them tie themselves up and bring them here, Ni Yan gave Situ Youning the charge of attacking the princess and fornicating with a man.

Because of the clues provided by Situ Youning, Liu Che released Liu Sheng despite the opposition of the ministers, and Liu Che did not continue to pursue the real culprit, but said that the time had not yet come, and Feng Yumo had been busy with Liu Sheng's affairs in the past few days.

"King Ji, why have you been looking absent-minded today?" When Liu Che asked this sentence, he began to be a little worried in his heart, since Situ Youning married him, an absent-minded appearance appeared like this when the three of them were discussing political affairs, and more than once.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've worked too hard for this today, and it looks like I need to take a good rest first." Feng Yumo quickly replied to Liu Che's words.

"You're right, you both should get some rest." As he spoke, he also glanced at Situ Shaoqi.

Situ Shaoqi looked at Feng Yumo with a smile, "I'm afraid King Ji can't rest now." ”

Feng Yumo and Liu Che looked at Situ Shaoqi at the same time for a while.

"The emperor doesn't know if you still remember the last time my eldest brother and He went to investigate the Hun secret agent incident?"

"Of course I do, but what does it have to do with this?"

"On the surface, it doesn't matter, because that spy has been caught by our two brothers, and I learned from him that the person behind the scenes last year took out a very important thing from the palace on the birthday of King Zhongshan."

Liu Che was a little shocked when he heard this, while Feng Yumo looked at Situ Shaoqi with a puzzled face.

"The reason why I didn't report it to the emperor at that time was because I was afraid that this matter would be involved in the King of Zhongshan, and Weichen was already sending someone to investigate in depth, and wanted to tell the emperor truthfully after the truth of the matter was revealed, but I didn't think that now the King of Zhongshan has been secretly involved by someone, so I have to say it now and ask the emperor to atone for his sins."

No matter how much he cherished Situ Shaoqi's talent, in the face of this matter, Liu Che couldn't help but get angry, "What do you mean by telling me about this now?" I just pardoned the imperial brother this morning despite the opposition of the ministers, and now you have this evidence against him, what do you want me to do! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister did not suspect the King of Zhongshan, but just wanted to find out many behind-the-scenes commanders through the King of Zhongshan."

"Many?"

Feng Yumo's eyes began to become cautious.

"The minister believes that this matter is not just a manipulation."

Liu Che seemed to agree with Situ Shaoqi's point of view, and after being silent for a long time, he set his eyes on Feng Yumo's body, "What does King Ji think?" ”

"There is indeed some truth in what Shaoqi said."

"Now what are you going to do?" Liu Che angrily didn't look at Situ Shaoqi.

"The minister only got the news of his subordinates yesterday, but when the king of Zhongshan was born, tens of thousands of people happened to be guests in the palace of the king of Zhongshan, and the time was as long as several months."

"What?" Liu Che stood up and looked at Feng Yumo in surprise, "Is this true?" ”

Feng Yumo sighed in his heart, he shouldn't have guessed that Situ Shaoqi was starting to take revenge on himself, "What Shaoqi said is true. ”

The hall fell silent for a moment.
