Chapter 253: Suddenly
When they were about to arrive at the Shenwu Gate, Bai Ling and Fourteen dismounted and slowly walked towards the palace gate.
The Shenwu Gate looked a little strange tonight, and despite the distance, Bai Ling could already see that there were many more people guarding there than usual, and even the light of the lantern was more dazzling than before.
The people of the Shenwu Sect also saw Bai Ling and Wei XIV returning from a distance, and the two guards trotted towards the two with spears in their hands.
Wei 14 motioned for Bai Ling to stop, and when the two of them ran close to them, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
The two of them saluted Wei Shishi in unison, and then looked at Bai Ling with their fists clenched, "The Holy Lord has summoned Bai Siyao!" ”
"Now?"
"Yes! It's been a long time coming. The guard replied.
Bai Ling followed the guards and walked quickly towards the Shenwu Gate, and she and the two horses of the Fourteenth were also led away by the accompanying guards, and the man turned around and asked, "The humble position has led people to patrol under the palace wall for a few rounds, but they haven't found Si Yao, I don't know where Si Yao went?" ”
Bai Ling smiled, "I had a good ride tonight, so I went to the outer street, where is the saint, I'll go and explain to him in person." ”
"The emperor is now in Chuxiu Palace."
Bai Ling and Wei XIV glanced at each other.
The guard said again, "Please wait here at the palace gate, Gonggong Qiu should go to other palace gates to wait at this time, and send someone to call him over, he will bring Si Yao over." “
"Okay."
Bai Ling was taken to the Shenwu Gate, and in the night, she saw several backs in the direction of the Donghua Gate.
She waited with her back against the cool palace wall, and sighed softly, "It seems that tonight is going to be a sleepless night again, and Fourteen doesn't have to leave, come with me for a while." ”
"Hmm." Wei Fourteen held his arms in his arms and stood against the wall with Bai Ling.
The two waited for a long time, and Wei Shixi suddenly heard a familiar footstep and came over with a breathless gasp. Bai Ling was a little sleepy and dozed off while standing, and Fourteen poked her shoulder, and she immediately opened her eyes.
"Oh, hey, my little ancestor!" Qiu Shi ran this way with a trembling voice, he held the front hem of his clothes in both hands, and the silk clothes reflected the light of the lantern in front of him, so that people could see the outline of his belly rolling and rolling clearly.
When he ran to Bai Ling, Qiu Shi wiped the sweat from his head, "When is this still riding?" Why don't you ride early or late, but you go out tonight? ”
"I've been going out every day for the past few days." Bai Ling replied, "Father-in-law, do you want to slow down first, I'll see you."
"No, no," Qiu Shi's eyes occasionally caught a glimpse of Wei Shixi, who was standing silently behind Bai Ling, although he knew the identity of the other party, he still couldn't help but shudder the moment he saw it, he reached out and pulled Bai Ling to his side, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and go with us, hey, I'll tell you what's going on on the way."
"You're in such a hurry, it seems that something is wrong?"
"It's not just a big deal, it's a big thing!" Qiu Shi twisted his eyebrows and said, "Even the noble concubine and Ning Concubine are sitting in Chuxiu Palace at this time." ”
"Guifei and Concubine Ning are also there?"
"A few days ago, didn't Lin Jieyu keep shouting that she couldn't sleep at night and had no strength during the day?" Qiu Shi said in a low voice, "As a result, after nightfall today, the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace appeared in her own flower garden a villain made of paulownia wood, with Lin Jieyu's birthday written on it."
"You won't suspect the concubine, right?" Bai Ling took over the conversation, "Why did Niangniang also pass?" ”
"Alas, as soon as I pushed the door at that time, there was a treasure duck standing outside."
Bai Ling was stunned, Chengqian Palace and Chuxiu Palace are on both sides of the central axis of the palace, what is Bao Yuan doing in Chuxiu Palace?
"I didn't listen to what happened after that, let's hurry to Chuxiu Palace, the Holy Lord should have something to ask you."
Bai Ling understood, and she hurriedly followed Qiu Shi, but Qiu Shi still turned back from time to time, "Little Ancestor, you hurry up, are your legs and feet not good before?" ”
"My feet are healed." Bai Ling replied, "It's just that if we run over and wait until we reach Chuxiu Palace, I will be as out of breath as Gonggong Qiu, so how can I go back to the Holy Lord." ”
Qiu Shi was stunned for a moment, as if this was the case, he scratched his ears and cheeks and looked at Bai Ling, "You're not in a hurry?" ”
"After all, it's the magpie father-in-law, and the intention is still good."
Qiu Shi couldn't cry or laugh, "Our family doesn't always report good news, it's just that it happened to be my turn to serve by the side of Long Live Lord today, and when I came, Gonggong Huang told me again, I must first tell you what happened to Chuxiu Palace and then bring you over, but I can't catch you here, and I delay the time."
Bai Ling raised his head suddenly, "Gonggong Huang also personally ordered this?" ”
"Yes, you must not live up to our family's reminder," Qiu Shi glanced at Bai Ling with some concern, "The matter of witch Gu has never been a trivial matter in the palace, and the people in the palace who died were quite light, if they were to get up, the family would all die neatly." ”
Bai Ling nodded.
As he approached Chuxiu Palace, Bai Ling was visibly aware of the change in the atmosphere.
After all, Qiu Shi is a father-in-law with a sense of joy, and the words that come out of his mouth are difficult for people to perceive fear, but the corridor outside Chuxiu Palace is now full of eunuchs and palace maids from various palaces, blocking the corridor that was not spacious in the first place.
Bai Ling faintly heard the sobbing sound of a palace maid coming from the crowd, but when she tried to look sideways, she only saw the lowered faces of the palace people, and from time to time there were eyes that were cast at her with curiosity and fear.
Qiu Shi opened the way in front of him, and Yuan Zhen was standing at the gate of Chuxiu Palace at the end, and he was really called.
For the first time, Yuan Zhen didn't hurt Qiu Shi at the first sight of him this time, which made Qiu Shi a little uncomfortable.
Bai Ling also glanced at Yuan Zhen a few more times with some concern.
Today's Yuan Zhen couldn't say what was wrong, but Bai Ling felt that there was some kind of eerie and terrifying aura on his body that was even worse than before.
His triangular eyes were already so vicious that people didn't dare to look at them directly, and tonight was even more chilling.
It was like a person trembling in a murderous house, and suddenly a hidden gaze was staring at him.
Yuan Zhen made a way and motioned for Bai Ling and Wei Shixi to enter, and when Qiu Shi was about to go inside, his cold hand was choked on Qiu Shi's shoulder.
"The emperor said, the two of us are on standby outside."
Qiu Shi shook off Yuan Zhen's hand with a spirit, "What are you doing, what are you doing!" Hands-on! ”
If it was usual, Yuan Zhen would have been sarcastic, but today he didn't, he didn't even snort. Qiu Shi dusted off his right shoulder, and stood on both sides of the gate of Chuxiu Palace with Yuan Zhen like left and right protectors.
Standing outside, Qiu Shi's afterglow also kept sweeping to the side, and he always felt that today's ghost-faced Yama was a little too quiet.
At this time, Bai Ling had already entered Chuxiu Palace.
As she passed by the rose garden, she suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood in the air......
