Chuxiu Palace, at night.

Due to the violent thunderstorm a few days ago, Chuxiu Palace was completely collapsed after being hit by a thunderstorm.

Therefore, it has been in a state of rebuilding for a long time, and in addition to the many workers busy during the day, it has become an empty and cold place at night.

After all, construction had only just begun in it, and no one lived in it, so there were no royal guards on duty at night.

Not only did there not be a single lamp in the courtyard of the entire Chuxiu Palace, but even the lantern at the door was black, so that at this time of day, if the moon was bright, you could vaguely see the general situation inside.

But if the moon is obscured by thick clouds, the whole courtyard is a dark place where you can't see your fingers.

At this moment, the moon happens to be obscured by a thin cloud that is not too thick, so although it is not completely dark, the visibility is very low.

It stands to reason that no one wants to come to the Chuxiu Palace, which is so dark, but there are always exceptions to everything, that is, if you look carefully, you can dimly see that there are two figures gently pushing open the door of Chuxiu Palace, and after entering one after another, they quickly close the door.

And among these two figures, one of them was still carrying a lantern in his hand, but he didn't light it, obviously he also deliberately blew it out, the purpose was not to let others see that they sneaked into Chuxiu Palace.

These two people are none other than Yanyu and Phantom Lotus, who went to the gate of the Yeting Cold Palace before and planned to enter the Light Shadow Building but failed to get their wish.

Since what they planned to do when they came here couldn't be seen by others, they could only make this decision and sneak into Chuxiu Palace.

After entering the Chuxiu Palace, the two of them quickly rushed to a pool in the corner of the garden in the dark.

As for the purpose of the two of them coming here, they naturally took out Princess Yuanfeng, who had been hiding there by the Phantom Lotus, from the cave at the bottom of a pool in the corner of the garden of Chuxiu Palace.

At that time, Princess Yuanfeng was dormant and transformed into a golden-crowned black-tailed frog, so even if she was placed in an underwater cave for a long time, it didn't matter.

But Yanyu still thinks that it is safer to take Princess Yuanfeng to her Zhongcui Palace as soon as possible, in case during the reconstruction of this Chuxiu Palace, the bottom of the pool will also be cleaned by the way, then it will be easy to find Princess Yuanfeng.

And even if Princess Yuanfeng is not found during the reconstruction, once a new concubine moves in, there will be people inside all day, and even at night, there will be eunuchs and palace maids on night duty.

At that time, it would be very difficult for Yanyu and Phantom Lotus to enter and pick up Princess Yuanfeng again.

"Noble Lian, you carry the lantern and wait for a while, and I will go down and take Princess Yuanfeng out of the cave. The pool is not deep, and if all goes well, the subordinates will be able to return in a quarter of an hour at most. ”

When she came to the edge of the pool in the corner, Phantom Lotus whispered to Yanyu.

"Okay, go back quickly, be careful?"

Yanyu nodded and whispered.

"Don't worry, noble Lian, my subordinates promise to complete the task and bring Princess Yuanfeng back safely."

Phantom Lotus whispered.

After finishing speaking, after handing the lantern blown out in her hand to Yanyu, Phantom Lotus quickly transformed into a golden-crowned black-tailed frog and jumped into the pool, and soon disappeared.

When Yanyu carried the black lantern and looked at the surrounding Chuxiu Palace garden with low visibility, he also inadvertently recalled the bloody scene that happened a few days ago.

That is, when Concubine Qi was trying to kill Yanyu, she was stopped on the spot by the emperor who arrived in time, perhaps because she knew that her vicious and murderous side was seen by the emperor with his own eyes, and even if she was not executed in the future, it would be the fate of her life in the cold palace.

So Concubine Qi decisively crashed to death on a thick beam, blood splattered on the spot, and she died.

For such an ending, it always made Yanyu feel very uncomfortable, and she regretted a little that she shouldn't have just thought about teaching Concubine Qi a profound lesson, and deliberately pretended to faint.

If she hadn't pretended to faint at that time, she might have been able to grab Concubine Qi in time, and she would have been able to stop Concubine Qi who was bent on death.

Although the emperor will send Concubine Qi to the cold palace afterwards, at least she will not die so miserably.

Maybe as time goes by, Concubine Qi can figure it all out on her own, and then repent of it, and it may not be impossible to win the emperor's forgiveness again, and it is not impossible to leave the cold palace and return to normal life.

But at this moment, Yanyu knows that it doesn't mean much to regret it, after all, people can't be resurrected after death, and everything can only become an eternal regret.

Yanyu also secretly swore in his heart that regrets like this would never happen again.

Although she understands that there will inevitably be all kinds of open and secret fights with other concubines in the future, she will learn the lesson of Qi Concubine Niangniang's blood this time, and will use a more secure method to deal with them, rather than acting too extremely.

She always felt that it was stupid to fight to the death by any means, and even if she won, she would still lose a lot of things.

Therefore, Yanyu is more inclined to convince people with virtue, use his every move to influence others, and always put himself in the shoes of others to think about problems, maybe many thorny battles can be better handled.

It's not a life-and-death situation at every turn, so that in the end, everyone is actually the loser.

Just when Yanyu was holding a lantern and standing by the pool waiting for the Phantom Lotus, he inadvertently fell into memories and self-blame, and suddenly felt that a white shadow seemed to flash in the corner of his eye.

So, instinctively, she withdrew her thoughts and looked in the direction of the white shadow leaving.

Since the moon has emerged from the clouds at this moment, the new palace of Chuxiu Palace, which is being rebuilt in front of him, can be seen more clearly, unlike when he first came in before, it was dark and almost impossible to see clearly.

It's just that when Yanyu saw not far away, it also scared her!

Because she saw that at a suspended thick beam of the Chuxiu Palace that was being rebuilt, there was a faint white figure floating there.

"You ......"

Yanyu instinctively blurted out, wanting to ask out loud who the other party was, but quickly closed her mouth again.

Because she knew that it was the dead of night at the moment, and every once in a while, there would be patrolling royal guards passing by, so she must not make any too loud noise, otherwise once the royal guards were brought in, her and Phantom Lian's plan to sneak in to pick up Princess Yuanfeng back to Zhongcui Palace might fail.

Thinking of this, Yanyu also took a deep breath and decided to walk over to see what was going on with the white figure floating in the air.

She felt that it might be too nervous to look dazzled for a while, after all, she was sneaking in at the moment, and it was inevitable that she would be a little weak and nervous.

When Yanyu carried the lantern and came to the bottom of the beam that had been reinstalled, he found that the white figure that had been floating in the air before was gone!

However, when Yanyu looked at the beam and looked around, he suddenly remembered, isn't this beam the one that was lying on the ruins when the palace collapsed and was killed by Concubine Qi's head-on?

And the position where Yanyu is standing at the moment also happens to be the place where Concubine Qi died a few days ago!

Suddenly, Yanyu's mind once again appeared in the tragic situation of Concubine Qi dying headlong on the beam and bleeding profusely.

The whole body couldn't help but feel a little chilly, especially the cool breeze behind her neck kept blowing, and she even had the illusion that there was a person standing behind her at the moment who was blowing her neck with his mouth.

So, Yanyu slowly turned around, intending to look behind him, and his heart could be more steady.

However, when she was halfway around, she saw a white figure out of the corner of her eye.

"Who are you?"

Yanyu finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, and quickly turned his body around as he spoke, directly facing the white figure.

When Yanyu saw clearly the ethereal woman in white in front of him, although he couldn't see it clearly, he still quickly reacted, that is, this bloodied woman should be the Qi concubine who died headlong!

"Concubine Qi? Is that you? ”

Yanyu also asked in a whisper in extreme shock again.

"I'm not Concubine Qi, I'm Qiaohui! I died so unjustly! I'm Qiaohui! I can't see if I'm dead! Hahahaha......"

After listening to Yanyu's questioning, the illusory white figure shouted in great despair, and even his tone was full of unwillingness, as if he was really dead.

Especially at the end, there was some crazy laughter.

"What? You're not a concubine? Are you Qiaohui? How is this possible? How can you be Qiaohui? ”

After listening to the other party's somewhat crazy words, Yanyu was also completely stunned! I couldn't help but ask loudly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it, because she knew that the question she had just made was too loud, and it was especially loud in such a quiet night.

At that moment, Yanyu knew something bad!

"Noble Lian, what's wrong with you? Why are you yelling at Concubine Qi for no reason? Didn't she die a few days ago? ”

Just when Yanyu was staring at the illusory white figure in front of her with regret and blankness, she didn't expect the other party to gradually become clearer and clearer, and finally became a phantom lotus standing in front of her and looked at her worriedly and asked.

She seemed to be holding something in her arms.

"Phantom Lotus? Why are you? ”

When Yanyu saw clearly that it was actually a phantom lotus in front of him, he asked in a puzzled whisper again.

"Noble Lian, of course you're a subordinate? Let's sneak in together to pick up Princess Yuanfeng? Look, the subordinates have successfully brought Princess Yuanfeng out. You won't forget it so quickly, will you? Are you alright? ”

Phantom Lotus pointed to a golden-crowned black-tailed frog in her arms and asked even more worriedly.

"Princess Yuanfeng? It seems that you are really a phantom lotus. But I obviously saw Concubine Qi just now? She also said that she was actually Qiaohui! Isn't it weird, don't you think? ”

Yanyu glanced at Princess Yuanfeng who was holding in Phantom Lotus's arms, and said with an incredulous expression.

And at this time, both Yanyu and Phantom Lotus heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside the gate of Chuxiu Palace, obviously it was Yanyu's exclamation just now that attracted the royal guards......
