Chapter 219: An Extremely Dangerous Night Detective
"If you're afraid, just stay outside Concubine Jing's palace, I'll bring a team of guards in, and you and another team of guards are outside the palace ready to meet us at any time." Nalan Qiqing said not reluctantly.
"Mother, isn't that good? If Your Majesty knew that you had risked your life, I am afraid that we would have been blamed afterwards for not stopping you. After all, so many people died last night, it was enough to see that there was a problem in this Jing Concubine Niangniang's palace. Please think again. Yu Die persuaded with great difficulty.
"I've made up my mind, and I don't need to persuade anymore. Because I and Sister Jing are like sisters, how can I let her die so inexplicably? No matter how dangerous it is, I have to do it, and if I don't find out about this matter, I won't be at ease in this life. Nalan Qiqing said undoubtedly.
"Well, in that case, Die'er, Die'er is willing to go in with you, Die'er was raised by Niang'er, as close as a mother's mother, so taking care of Niang'er is Die'er's greatest wish, and please fulfill Niang'er." Yudie saw that she couldn't persuade Nalan Qiqing, so she had to compromise and say.
"Good! Let's go together, time is running out, go and prepare as I ask, and leave on time in a quarter of an hour. Remember, tell all the guards and palace maids in the palace not to spread the news of my going to the palace of Concubine Jing's sister to His Majesty, if it alarms the saint, the palace will not spare it! Got it? Nalan Qiqing said briskly.
"Die'er obeys, please rest assured." Yudie said respectfully, and after finishing speaking, she turned around and went to arrange.
After seeing Yudie leave, Nalan Qiqing gently stroked the double-sided embroidered screen ornaments, and said softly: "Sister Jingfei, the Holy Lord during the day is also for my good, and he didn't let me go to see you, saying that the scene was too bloody and chaotic, and I was afraid that I would have nightmares when I saw it." However, no matter how terrifying the scene is, you are also my sister, how can my sister bear to let you stay there so miserably, tonight, let my sister accompany you? Talk to you well, and if you have a spirit in heaven, give me some hints, so that I can avenge you! ”
Saying and talking, Nalan Qiqing's eyes blurred again, and she couldn't stop shedding tears again, holding the embroidery screen in her arms and crying softly.
When she was crying very sadly, she didn't notice that on the embroidered screen she was holding in her arms, the woman on the side of Concubine Jing was embroidered, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing an extremely evil smile.
About a quarter of an hour later, after hearing the cry of the rain butterfly and the sound of footsteps, Nalan Qiqing hurriedly stopped crying, quickly wiped away her tears, and walked towards the door of the dormitory with the embroidered screen ornament.
When they came to the gate of Fengming Palace, there were already two teams of royal guards waiting there, one of which was carrying a gorgeous sedan chair.
With the support of Yudie, Nalan Qiqing just entered the sedan chair and sat down, and then ordered to set off.
Since it was almost midnight at this moment, it was very cold and silent on the way, empty, and the moonlight was hazy, the visibility was very poor, and the wind was gusting, so if the faint of heart really did not dare to walk here at this time.
Fortunately, Concubine Jing's palace was not far from Nalan Qiqing's palace, so soon the sedan chair stopped at the gate of Concubine Jing's palace.
"Queen Qiyu, Concubine Jing's palace has arrived, do you want to go in now?" As soon as the sedan chair was steady, Nalan Qiqing heard a royal guard outside the sedan chair respectfully asking for instructions.
"Carry the sedan chair in, just go to the main hall, and the other team can stand by in place." Remember, no matter what you see, don't easily enter Concubine Jing's palace, unless we are confirmed to be really in danger, we can come in to rescue, otherwise just quietly watch what happened, and report it to me afterwards. Even if you come to the rescue, don't come in all of them, if I die, you must be left alone, and tell His Highness the Crown Prince what happened. Nalan Qiqing said calmly.
"Yes! Subordinates obey! The guard said respectfully.
Then, Nalan Qiqing and Yudie in the sedan chair felt that the sedan chair was suspended again, and staggered forward.
Maybe it's because the road is not easy to walk, the sedan chair is a little slow and a little bumpy, Nalan Qiqing and Yudie support each other to sit firmly.
When the sedan chair stopped again, the guard's respectful voice came from outside the sedan chair again: "Queen Mother, the main hall has arrived, please instruct." ”
"Are you finally going to see Sister Jingfei? Come, Die'er, you lead the way, the palace is going to worship Concubine Jing's sister. Nalan Qiqing said with a sigh.
"Yes, sis. Slow down, sis. Yudie carried the lantern, got out of the sedan chair first, and then helped Nalan Qiqing to walk and said.
"Die'er, I remember that Your Majesty said during the day that Concubine Jing's sister's head is in the main hall, so go there to worship. Calm down for a while, and don't scream at what you see, lest you get into trouble with the Guards. Looks like it's about to give birth, right? I want to see if I will fall into a coma? Is there really something out there pretending to be a ghost! Nalan Qiqing got out of the sedan chair, glanced at the main hall not far away, and said in a persistent tone.
"Yes, Queen Mother, it's about to give birth, you should be careful about the road under your feet." Yudie carefully helped Nalan Qiqing towards the main hall.
When Nalan Qiqing and Yudie walked into the main hall, what caught their eyes was a skeleton shape folded into the shape of "Pin", and there was a butterfly pattern in the center of the skull eyebrows on the top, which was obviously the head of Concubine Jingniang!
"Ah......" The moment she saw the skull, Yudie screamed in fright, but soon realized that Nalan Qiqing had told her before, so she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, so she forcibly held back just a little scream.
And Nalan Qiqing was mentally prepared because she had heard of the tragic situation here before she came, but when she saw Concubine Jing's head for the first time, she still felt cold all over her body, and her breathing accelerated, obviously frightened.
However, her psychological quality and adaptability are very strong, so in addition to being surprised, she still restrained herself very rationally, and did not panic like a rain butterfly, shouting and screaming.
"Sister Jingfei, my sister has come to see you! How did you die so miserably? Who made you like this? If I let my sister know one day, I will definitely break her body into thousands of pieces, so that I can solve the hatred in my heart. Sister, I don't know where you are now? I don't know if you're doing well? Woo woo......" Nalan Qiqing said as she stared at Concubine Jing's head with tears streaming down her face.
"Niangniang, you mourn and change, take care of your body! This Jing Concubine Niangniang Ji has her own natural appearance, and she will definitely live well. If she had a spirit in heaven, she would not want to see you so sad and hurtful! Yu Die also persuaded again sadly.
Just when Nalan Qiqing and Yudie were crying and worshipping in front of the main hall and Concubine Jing's head, the time finally came.
At the moment when Zi Shi arrived, he saw the royal guards who were following them and were responsible for protecting them, one by one, their legs weakened, and they fell to the ground, and soon they were motionless.
Subsequently, Nalan Qiqing and Yudie also felt more and more sleepy, and soon slowly fell to the ground, completely falling into a coma.
And the other team of royal guards guarding outside the gate of Concubine Jing's palace, when they saw Nalan Qiqing and Yudie, as well as the guards who came in with them from a distance, fell to the ground, they didn't care about Nalan Qiqing's deliberate advice before, and they all rushed in one after another until they had to ask not to break in.
It's just that a few people rushed in, and they fell down again with a crumbling edge. Obviously, there must be something strange about Concubine Jing's palace at this moment.
When the guards in the back saw this scene, combined with the previous statement of the queen mother, they also became extremely entangled.
If you obey the words of the queen, you have to stay outside the palace gate, and you must not enter to save people unless you have to, but record what you have seen and heard, and inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince afterwards.
The disadvantage of this is that if something happens to the queen mother, His Majesty will definitely not let them go, and their lives will also be lost.
But if they didn't obey the words of the queen mother, they all rushed in, but the queen mother was not rescued, and they themselves died, so no one could tell His Royal Highness the prince the ins and outs of all this, which was equivalent to disobeying the queen mother's instructions.
Then the queen's practice of risking her life and visiting Concubine Jing's palace at midnight has lost its meaning, and it is equivalent to sacrificing her life in vain and doing useless work.
Just when the last two guards decided to leave one to guard the door and the other to report to His Royal Highness the Prince, they suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness hit them, and before they could understand what was going on, they collapsed.
At this point, it is equivalent to everyone who followed the queen mother before to fall asleep.
Just after the guards at the gate of Concubine Jing's palace fell asleep, a dark shadow jumped to the door, glanced at the royal guard who fell to the ground, and said to himself: "Isn't this the guard of the queen's palace?" Why are you here? Could it be that the queen sent them to investigate the case? Fortunately, the ** spell in my eyebrows still works, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come in and check it out tonight. Hey, let's not worry about this for now, it's the right thing to do when I get in and check it out. ”
Then the black shadow then jumped into Concubine Jing's palace and looked at it carefully.
This black shadow is none other than the golden-crowned black-tailed frog, intending to explore the smoke and rain of Concubine Jing's palace at night.
The reason why he turned into a golden-crowned black-tailed frog is that he doesn't want others to recognize him, especially the murderer hidden in Concubine Jing's palace who he is, after all, the other party is in the dark, and he is in the light, if the other party can recognize himself at a glance, then the investigation work behind will be too passive.
Another reason is that although Yanyu doesn't know who the murderer is, the person who can kill the entire palace so ruthlessly must not be a mortal, so if she doesn't incarnate a golden-crowned black-tailed frog that is much stronger than a mortal, she has no ability to compete with the other party at all.
And even if she turns into a golden-crowned black-tailed frog and still can't beat the other party, she can still escape by water, so that there is one more chance of survival......
