The man looked at Concubine Chen and nodded slightly, "That woman, she should have been killed a long time ago." ”

Then Shen Xi only saw Concubine Chen attached to the man's ear, and after whispering a few more words, the man turned around and left, as for what he said, Shen Xi didn't know or know.

After the man came out, Shen Xi saw this and quickly pulled Chang Qing to hide behind the tree on the side, she looked at the back of the man leaving, and then looked back at Concubine Chen in the room, and soon she got up and blew out the candle.

Shen Xi had too many doubts in her heart, but obviously, she couldn't find the West Courtyard herself, and even Chang Qing hadn't heard of it. This palace is so big, how many secrets are hidden, and why did Concubine Chen choose to kill people now?

Shen Xi and Chang Qing came out of the cold palace, so they quickly went to Chang Yi and Lu Qingyi against the wind, she always felt that there would be a lot of things involved tonight, and the most important thing at the moment was to rescue the woman in Concubine Chen's mouth.

Because Chang Qing was timid, Shen Xi didn't let her follow, maybe there would be some cruel and bloody pictures.

Chang Yi and Lu Qingyi had just gotten off the banquet and were about to go to Shen Xi.

Hearing Shen Xi's words, Chang Yi's expression was solemn, "The West Courtyard was the palace where my mother lived when she first entered the palace, and no one has been there since she moved out of there." ”

Shen Xi felt even more strange after listening to Chang Yi's words, "What does Concubine Chen mean?" There should be someone in the West Side. ”

If there was no one in the West Courtyard, how could Concubine Chen let people kill people.

Lu Qingyi's expression was solemn, "Maybe there are people hidden there that we don't know all along." Saying that, they didn't care much, so they hurried to the West Courtyard.

Since Concubine Chen pretended to be crazy and stupid and entered the cold palace, she still wanted to kill that person, it must be very important to her.

Chang Yi and Lu Qingyi quickly rushed to the West Courtyard, which was not as desolate as they imagined, Shen Xi looked at everything in this courtyard, as if it had just been swept over, and there were candles flickering in the house, which further showed that there were still people living here.

Lu Qingyi protected Shen Xi behind him, Chang Yi cautiously pushed open the door, and no one seemed to have touched the furnishings inside, only seeing a candle that was about to go out still shaking, and no figure was seen.

Chang Yi also saw a portrait of his mother on the wall, he had not seen his mother since he was born, and his impression of her came mostly from the painting and his mother's description of her.

I heard that his mother is very understanding, but there are often times when she is a little willful, and she is not favored when she first enters the palace, and she doesn't even know who the emperor is.

Whether she's happy or not, no one knows.

A woman, locked in the palace all her life, and she can't see the scenery outside the palace walls for the rest of her life, Shen Xi thought, even if she is favored, she won't be happy!

It is also difficult for a favored woman to gain a foothold in this palace, so Concubine Lan died overnight shortly after giving birth to Chang Yi.

And the emperor who doted on her didn't even give her a decent funeral, saying that it was unlucky for someone to cut himself.

This is also the reason why Chang Yi has hated the emperor for so many years.

Chang Yi looked at the painting, as if he had seen a mother he had never met, he walked towards the painting, the painting was still very new, there was no dust on it, the concubine in the painting was in her twenty-eighth year, smiling brightly.

Chang Yi's eyes were slightly red, even though he had never felt Concubine Lan's maternal love, but he knew that if she was alive, she would definitely love him very much.

"Bang dang!" 軒軒書

Just as Chang Yi was about to take the painting down, he heard a voice, he paused, and Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi also held their breath.

Lu Qingyi looked at the sound, and under a table, he only saw a sneaky figure hiding there.

Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi glanced at each other, she walked lightly in that direction, only to see an old woman with scars on her face hiding in fear, she curled up, and when she saw Shen Xi, she stepped back in horror, opening her mouth but only whimpering.

When Shen Xi saw the old woman like this, he stepped forward and comforted him in a soft voice: "Grandma, don't be afraid, we are here to save you." ”

The old woman still didn't dare to approach Shen Xi, her eyes were hideous, and she shook her head desperately.

Shen Xi always felt strange when she saw the old woman's reaction, and glanced back at Lu Qingyi, after Lu Qingyi shook her head, she slowly retreated, and when she saw Shen Xi retreat, the old woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"If she has been locked up here since Concubine Lan's accident, and she hasn't seen anyone for so many years, it's normal to be afraid when she suddenly sees someone And looking at her appearance, she should have suffered a very painful torture before."

Lu Qingyi's voice was flat as usual, but he was shocked when he said this.

A person who has stayed here for 20 years, if she is either coerced by others, or has a last resort, she does not know how she has lived in the past 20 years.

After a long time, the old woman seemed to feel that Shen Xi had no ill will towards her, so she came out of the corner slowly, she bent her back, walked to Chang Yi, and looked at him carefully.

The old woman wanted to reach out and touch Chang Yi's face, but her back was already bent, and even if she lifted her toes, she couldn't touch Chang Yi's face.

When Chang Yi saw her like this, he squatted down, and the old woman touched his face.

The old woman was a little excited, she opened her mouth, and she didn't know what she was talking about, but she saw her tears flowing down her face.

When Shen Xi saw the old woman like this, he had doubts about her identity.

She found paper and pen, walked up to the old woman, handed her the pen and paper, and said softly, "Grandma, may I ask what you were talking about just now?" ”

The old woman glanced at Shen Xi, then took the paper and pen, and wrote stroke by stroke: "He and Concubine Lan really look alike." ”

Shen Xi glanced at the word, and then showed it to Lu Qingyi, thinking that she was the palace maid or someone close to Concubine Lan, otherwise she would not have ended up like this, she must have known clearly about the events of the year.

"Concubine Lan, was it killed?" Shen Xi looked at the old woman and asked extremely firmly.

At the mention of this, the old woman stepped back in fear, as if thinking of something she did not want to recall, and had been whimpering loudly, but unable to speak.

When Shen Xi wanted to ask again, a masked man suddenly broke in outside the door, holding a sword in his hand, pointing directly at the old woman, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, Shen Xi subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop in front of the old woman, but fortunately, Lu Qingyi's eyes were quick, and he grabbed a teacup and knocked off the masked man's sword.

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the masked man's sword was knocked off, and he shot quickly again, but was intercepted by Chang Yi.

Chang Yi and the masked man fought hotly, and Shen Xi frowned slightly, "This person was sent by Concubine Chen." Even if he was masked, Shen Xi could identify it from his figure, but unfortunately, she never knew what his identity was and what his relationship was with Concubine Chen.
