Chapter 221: Uninvited Guest

Chu Xiaoxiang pursed the corners of her lips, and was about to say something, but Helian Chen had already turned around and helped push the waterwheel, placing herself in the team of rescuers in the palace.

The waterwheel with the double-layer round wooden barrel was pushed to the West Palace by everyone.

Giant curtains of water poured down from the waterwheel.

Chu Xiaoxiang stood aside and watched all this quietly.

In a trance, she saw a figure walking in a different direction in the crowd.

Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, could that person be the so-called perpetrator?

She was a little surprised and hesitant, as if someone was holding her hand.

After Helian Chen helped push the waterwheel, he saw Chu Xiaoxiang standing aside a little stunned, as if he had something on his mind. Somewhat uneasy, he walked up to her and took her by the hand.

Not far away, an elongated voice, "Your Majesty has arrivedβ€”" resounded through the entire half of Qiongyu.

A young man in a bright yellow dragon robe, surrounded by everyone, strode forward and walked towards here in a dignified and solemn manner.

The guards and maids present knelt on the ground one after another, shouting three times in a row.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live......"

Mu Xun pursed his lips lightly, and a trace of displeasure gathered between his eyebrows. "There is a fire in the West Palace, where is the concubine now?"

He was saying with some concern, this West Palace is where Concubine Yi lives all year round.

When the emperor was alive, Concubine Yi has always been the favorite of the emperor, but unfortunately because she gave birth to six daughters but no sons, she could only be a concubine after all. Succumbed to this harem.

Concubine Yi didn't complain a word, because she had a beautiful temperament, and she regarded this wood as her own since she was a child.

Mu Xun is also like a biological mother to Concubine Yi.

I heard that Mu Xun was asking about the whereabouts of Concubine Yi, and in the crowd, a young man in official uniform stepped forward.

"Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Yi went out of the palace yesterday to burn incense at Huguo Temple outside the palace and listen to the abbot there. She confessed before leaving, and came back in three days......"

"Three days?" Mu Xun was slightly stunned, took a deep breath, sighed softly and said, "It seems that I am too worried." However, Aiqing, what is the reason for this trip to the palace that you can check? And by whom? ”

Wu Nanmu was a little surprised, and said: "Your Majesty, although the reason for the water in the palace has not yet been investigated, the lowly position also thinks that this arson case is very strange. Someone has been sent to investigate, and I believe that there will be results soon......"

Mu Xun was about to say something, when he saw the Queen Mother wearing a cloak and walking over from not far behind.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, and I actually saw a fire coming from the palace. What the hell is going on? ”

The Queen Mother had a question on her face, and Mu Xun hurriedly replied: "Queen Mother, you haven't rested yet?" Suddenly, for some reason, there was a water in this palace, and I am investigating...... the emperor."

"If that's the case, Your Majesty can rest early and wait until tomorrow to investigate the matter. You have a lot of opportunities every day, don't be tired of yourself......"

The Queen Mother was a little distressed, but Mu Xun suddenly frowned: "Although the West Palace caught fire, the concubine happened to be out of the palace again." But if a few days later, when she comes back, she sees this mess, and the emperor is worried that she will not be able to stand it......"

"Besides, who did this arson? The emperor hasn't investigated it clearly, and he can't sleep......"

Mu Xun was saying, and the Queen Mother shook her head: "You, my emperor is so attentive and hard-working about everything. That's why I work hard all day long......"

"The emperor knows that the queen mother is worried about her sons. The emperor was very moved, so he should work harder. ”

Mu Xun was saying when a young woman walked out of the crowd.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the folk girl saw something just now, I don't know if I should say it?"

"Oh? It turned out to be Princess Ji, if you have something to say, just say it" Mu Xun was a little surprised, but quickly nodded.

After glancing at Helian Chen behind Chu Xiaoxiang, Mu Xun's eyes showed a trace of disappointment......

At this time, Chu Xiaoxiang nodded: "Your Highness, the folk girl just saw that there was an abnormal figure among the firefighters, that person looked about 1.87 meters tall, but when he passed through the crowd, his face was pale, and the direction he went was just the opposite of everyone else......

Chu Xiaoxiang said, suddenly coughed softly, and raised his voice: "The people's daughter suspects, could this person be related to the arsonist?" ”

Mu Xunyuan opened his eyes: "Is there such a thing?" ”

Chu Xiaoxiang nodded: "This is absolutely true, Your Majesty." ”

Mu Xun said and nodded: "Then it is better to follow Princess Ji's wishes, I will find someone to draw it." After that, it will be famous in the world? ”

"Maybe you can give it a try......"

Chu Xiaoxiang was saying, saying in his heart, although he couldn't find that person 100% by doing this, it shouldn't do any harm.

Mu Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, as if they were in a straight line.

The Queen Mother on the side suddenly had clear eyes, and Chu Xiaoxiang's words made her shake her head.

"No, don't ......"

"The Queen Mother?"

Mu Xun looked surprised, at this time, although the Queen Mother vaguely knew something, she only said after all: "Your Majesty, the mourning family means that if Your Majesty does this, it is very likely that you will be startled." What the Mourners mean is that it is better to investigate this matter secretly? ”

"Investigating?" Although Mu Xun was slightly stunned for a moment, he looked at the resolute appearance of the Queen Mother, and unconsciously gave in: "Okay, just follow the mother, the emperor will send someone to secretly investigate this matter......"

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said, "Princess Ji, I can't imagine that you are so concerned about the affairs of our earthly country?" ”

Chu Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Queen Mother, these are nothing. That's what we should do. ”

Chu Xiaoxiang said, a smile appeared on his face.

At this time, the Queen Mother's eyebrows frowned slightly, fleetingly.

Although it was only for a second, Chu Xiaoxiang was a little surprised, blinking his eyes lightly, thinking that it was just an illusion.

Since then, the palace of the Dust Country has maintained peace on the surface, but secretly it is investigating the arson.

A few days later, Chu Xiaoxiang and Helianchen's dormitory suddenly had an uninvited guest.

That day, Chu Xiaoxiang and Helian Chen were having dinner in the dormitory, when suddenly a figure of a man in black flew from the eaves outside the dormitory.

Chu Xiaoxiang was a little curious, stood up and walked out, about to look, but at this time, a line of darts inlaid with plum blossoms flew out in front of her eyes.

Chu Xiaoxiang hurriedly dodged to her side, and a row of darts flew over her head in unison, landing on the palace gate behind her without any hair.

Chu Xiaoxiang subconsciously walked over, and at this time, Helian Chen noticed the movement outside and walked out.

"Princess, what's going on?"

Helian Chen asked with some doubts, Chu Xiaoxiang pursed his lips lightly and said, "It's nothing." ”

After saying that, she walked towards the position of the darts, and pressed a note under the silver darts: "My life is not long, I hope my sister will return quickly." ”

Although the handwriting on the note is smooth, it is very neat, and there is a hint of unruliness.

Chu Xiaoxiang stared at the words on the note, and his vision was a little blurry for a while.

Although Chu Xiaoxiang is just a soul crossing into the body of this princess of Ji Guo named Ji Range.

But now the moment she saw the handwriting, she was so sad that she wanted to cry.

Chu Xiaoxiang felt that this should be the host's original memory.

Helian Chen was a little surprised, stood aside and asked Chu Xiaoxiang: "Princess?" ”

Chu Xiaoxiang nodded, handed the note in his hand to Helian Chen, and said, "Don Ma, my brother has an accident......

Helian Chen was a little puzzled, looking at the note and sure enough, there was a line of handwriting written on it, but in an instant, he said to Chu Xiaoxiang: "Princess, are you sure that these words were written by your brother himself?" Isn't it a prank done by someone!? ”

Helian Chen was asking, Chu Xiaoxiang shook his head, and was about to say something.

Suddenly feeling a headache, Chu Xiaoxiang's mind vaguely surfaced the memories of the princess who was really called Ji Range.

"I'm pretty sure that this handwriting is indeed my brother's dyeing!"

Chu Xiaoxiang bit his lip heavily and said, at this time, Helian Chen was stunned: "Princess, then I will accompany you back to the palace!" ”

As soon as Helian Chen's words fell, Chu Xiaoxiang shook his head and refused: "Donkey, I'll go back by myself." You're here with a tougher task......"

"You mean, the Four-Power Agreement?"

Helian Chen asked, Chu Xiaoxiang pursed his lips lightly.

Seeing Chu Xiaoxiang's silent expression, Helian Chen frowned: "Without the princess by his side, for Helian Chen, life is better than death." ”

"What is the Four-Power Agreement? Anyway, the time is not the same sooner or later, but once the princess is lost, Lian Chen will never be able to find the princess again......"

"But," the corners of Chu Xiaoxiang's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything more after all, "Okay, let's leave with Your Majesty tomorrow, and then get up and go back to Ji Kingdom." After dealing with my brother's affairs, we will come back and work on the four-nation agreement! ”

Seeing that Chu Xiaoxiang didn't push himself away again, Helian Chen nodded a little happily: "Everything will be done according to the princess's wishes." As long as the princess is there, where is Lian Chen's home! ”

All around, it was pitch black.

When Concubine Yi first returned to the West Palace, although the place had been cleaned up, the places that were surrounded by smoke looked a little dark.

She took a deep breath, no wonder last night, when she was in Huguo Temple, she suddenly dreamed that a small fire broke out from the place where she was lying.

Now this dream has become a reality.

Nishinomiya!

Concubine Yi's breathing began to become heavy, as if the treasure she had always cherished was suddenly snatched away by something.

At this moment, behind her, there was a sound of footsteps.

"Your Majestyβ€”"

The guard was about to make an announcement, but Mu Xun suddenly stopped, waved his hand, and interrupted him.

When he was young, the concubine cared for and loved him like his own mother and his own son.

and even gave him those things that he didn't know before.

In Mu Xun's heart, Concubine Yi is sometimes even closer than the Queen Mother.

However, now that he saw Concubine Yi in front of him, standing in the West Palace with such a heavy heart, she looked a little old.
