Chapter 176: Finding the Assassin
After coming to Xianya Palace, Chen Yetan assumed the alias "Sandalwood", and using her eight-inch incorruptible tongue and her special pill incense powder, she finally got a map of the palace from a head of the guard.
It's just that this map is just a very simple map, and you can only get a rough idea.
But even this is enough, the Royal Foresters usually gather in the outer city, where they have their identity cards, and if you want to find Wang Yifeng, you should go to the outer city.
The palace is divided into three places: the palace city, the inner city and the outer city, the palace city is where the concubines live, the inner city is the place where His Majesty and the ministers deal with the government affairs, and the outer city is usually the gathering place of the Imperial Forest Army and the Jinyi Guard.
It's just that the Imperial Forest Army is stationed in the palace, and the Jinyi Guard is often outside to handle cases.
On the avenue, shaking the identity card that Gardenia got for herself, Chen Yetan walked to the outer city in a good mood, anyway, she is now the palace maid of Xianya Palace, and no one will do anything to her.
What is called "there are people in the palace who are easy to do", Chen Yetan can be regarded as experiencing it now.
Suddenly, a group of guards came from the front, but they didn't look like they were patrolling, and they all looked serious, as if they wanted to arrest someone.
Chen Yetan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, and said in his heart: It's just right, come forward with silver to bribe, maybe these people just know Wang Yifeng?
Judging by the clothes they are wearing, they should still be first-class Imperial Guards!
Thinking about it, Chen Yetan made up his mind, followed with ease, and said to the person behind him: "Eh, big brother guard, wait, where are you going?" ”
This guard looks honest and honest, and he is very easy to start with at first glance.
He didn't stop, didn't look at Chen Yetan, and only said indifferently: "Don't hinder our office, otherwise I will be unkind to you." ”
Chen Yetan stretched out his hand, took out a piece of silver and gave it to him, looked at him with simple eyes and said, "Brother Guard, don't worry, I just want to inquire about something, do you know a person named Wang Yifeng?" If you say it, the money is yours! ”
Although it is broken silver, but at least five taels are available,
The guard did show a look of heart, but he didn't answer her for a long time.
At this moment, the team suddenly stopped, and in front, a leader of the guards walked over.
The leader of the guards looked quite young, only about twenty years old, handsome, but with a bit of demonic meaning in his eyes, he did not have the majesty of the Royal Forest Army at all.
I saw him come to Chen Yetan, looked at her with a smile and said, "Girl, who are you looking for?" Why don't you ask me? ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the guard.
Suddenly, the guard hurriedly snatched the silver from Chen Yetan's hand and respectfully placed it in front of him.
For some reason, the leader of the guard always gave her a very familiar feeling, as if she had seen it somewhere, and the voice was very familiar......
A flash of vigilance flashed in Chen Yetan's eyes, and then, she smiled and said to this person: "Brother Guard, I just want to inquire about someone, his name is Wang Yifeng, do you know him?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the guards immediately cast strange glances at her.
The young leader of the guards looked at her for a while, then put away the money, chuckled, and said, "What are you looking for him?" ”
"Uh...... Some time ago, I was fortunate to see the demeanor of Wang Gongzi by Concubine Chen's side, and I heard that he was on an errand in the palace, so I thought about asking him if he needed help. ”
When it comes to lying, Chen Yetan has never blushed or beat.
Hearing this, the young leader of the guards looked at her with an unchanged expression and said, "It turns out that you are from Concubine Chen's palace......"
As he spoke, he shook his head with some pity, then waved his hand and said, "You guys should arrest her." ”
Chen Yetan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but take two steps back, looked at him in surprise and said, "Why did you arrest me?" I'm a concubine! "Love
Could it be that Concubine Chen's registration card doesn't work?
Chen Yetan couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart, and a bad premonition rose.
At this time, two guards came over to control her, Chen Yetan wanted to deal with them, and then escaped with light skills, but when she thought of her current identity, she couldn't act rashly, so she had to let these people arrest her.
Without struggling, she would have suffered less.
It's just that Chen Yetan still couldn't help but look at the leader of the guards and said, "Why are you arresting me?" Moreover, do you recognize Wang Yifeng? ”
The leader of the guard smiled, and instead of answering her words, he turned away.
Then, two guards escorted her and followed the man.
Seeing that Chen Yetan was still asking like this, one of the guards couldn't help but tell her, "Are you really stupid or fake stupid?" The young leader of the guards in front is the Wang Yifeng you are looking for! ”
Chen Yetan was startled, turned his head to look at him in some surprise and said, "What? If he is Wang Yifeng, then he is the younger brother of the queen's mother? ”
The guard nodded, and at the same time, another guard glanced at her again, and said, "You girl is really big-hearted, if you are caught by us, you can ask for more blessings, I'm afraid that Concubine Chen won't be able to protect you later!" ”
This is what puzzled Chen Yetan, she never figured it out, what are these people doing with her?
So, she asked again: "Eh, you have arrested me, and it is boring to walk along the way, why don't you tell me, why did you arrest me?" ”
The guard saw that she did not give up, so he replied: "I just got the news that Concubine Chen used the hand of the queen mother to murder the queen mother, and now the queen mother is furious and orders her subordinates to control everyone in the Xianya Palace, at this time, Your Majesty, the queen mother and the queen mother, should go to the Xianya Palace, right?" ”
What the? Concubine Chen plotted to kill the Queen Mother?
Chen Yetan frowned, but she didn't believe it in her heart, because although she didn't spend much time with Shang Kelan and Shang Kelin's brother and sister, she also knew that Shang Kelan was not the master who would kill innocents indiscriminately.
And Shang Kelin didn't want to be held accountable when he was assassinated, how could his sister do something to the Queen Mother with such a mud bodhisattva heart? Isn't this an overt attempt to find death!
Thinking about it, Chen Yetan shook his head.
Immediately, she looked at Wang Yifeng, who was walking in front.
This back...... And that side ......
Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light flashed through her mind, and for a moment, Chen Yetan's eyes were stunned and froze in place!
She remembered that this Wang Yifeng was exactly the same as the back of the person who assassinated Shang Kelin that day, and even the voice was the same!
In other words, the person who shot Chen Yetan with a dart that day was this guard pretended to be Wang Yifeng!
In an instant, Chen Yetan understood.
Where is Shang Kelan's shot at the Queen Mother? It is clear that the queen wants to attack the brother and sister of Zuo Xiangfu!
At this time, a guard pushed her and said impatiently, "What are you in a daze?" Let's go! ”
Chen Yetan came back to his senses with a serious expression.
She had to hurry back to Xianya Palace and tell Shang Kelan about this!
At this time, inside the elegant palace.
During the unitary time, the afterglow of the sun fell on the yard, and the orchids bloomed quietly, Shang Kelan took the watering can and watered the orchids accompanied by gardenias.
