Chapter 109: Remove the mask
Murong Yan wanted to accompany him, but Xiao Chengxi did not agree, but refused with a smile: "The Third Highness has such a noble status, how can he appear in such a place, I just went around, isn't the Third Highness still at ease!" β
The third prince didn't say much, Xiao Chengxi didn't give anyone a chance, so he was led by a eunuch from Fu'an Palace and came to the courtyard where the palace maid lived.
This huge palace, in the eyes of outsiders, is very glamorous and beautiful, but it is where those concubines, princesses and princesses live, and the place where these palace maids and eunuchs live is very simple, and the place where the palace maids of Ling'an Palace live is in the most remote corner of this palace.
When Xiao Chengxi appeared in the courtyard, the palace maids all whispered, and after bowing carefully, they hid.
Xiao Chengxi didn't have time to lament the tragic fate of these people, turned around and said to the eunuch who was leading the way beside him: "This father-in-law, it's good to wait for me at the door, I don't want them to be so afraid of me!" β
This old eunuch has been on an errand in the palace for so many years, and he has naturally been familiar with it for a long time, and naturally he has also seen the special preferential treatment of the third prince Murong Yan to this Xiao Chengxi, and he didn't even dare to ask, so he gave Xiao Chengxi a salute and walked out of the door.
Xiao Chengxi took a deep breath, she hoped that she was not mistaken, when the palace maids walked in front of her, everyone lowered their heads, only one palace maid quickly looked up at her, and this glance was profound!
Xiao Chengxi was appeased from house to house, and every time she went to a house, she put down some scattered silver, because the situation of these palace maids really distressed her!
Seeing this windfall, the woman in the small palace began not to be afraid, but she didn't dare to approach, until she finished the last room, she didn't meet the palace maid again, Xiao Chengxi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, could she find another way!
A little dejected, she walked out, and just turned a corner, a timid voice sounded: "Princess! β
Xiao Chengxi suddenly turned around, and saw that it was the abnormal little palace maid just now!
After calming down his excitement, Xiao Chengxi asked calmly, "What, you have something?" β
Seeing that Xiao Chengxi didn't have a little arrogance, and spoke to her so gently, the little palace maid knelt on the ground with a plop: "Princess, the slave and maid are brave, even if they want my little life, the slave and maid will admit it, as long as the princess avenges the slave and maid!" β
Xiao Chengxi thought it was something, maybe she was too sensitive, she was not interested in these dirty things in the palace at all, but looking at the poor little palace maid on the ground, she was also a little soft-hearted, so she reached out and pulled her up: "Why did you just tell me?" β
The little palace maid looked up at Xiao Chengxi: "The slave maid thinks that the princess is upright, and she is not the same as other princes!" That's why slaves dare to do this! β
No matter what happened, Xiao Chengxi was willing to listen, so he nodded: "Get up and talk!" The little palace maid was pulled up by Xiao Chengxi.
After just now, the little palace maid also had a bit of a taste of openness, so she said: "Princess, the slave maid is called Lan'er, and she has been in this Ling'an Palace for four years. β
Xiao Chengxi listened quietly, and encouraged this Lan'er to continue with his eyes.
"A while ago, His Royal Highness wanted to find some people to help transport some things, and the slave maid heard that the salary was good, so she recommended her younger brother to His Royal Highness through connections, but then ......" Lan'er sobbed suddenly.
Shipping something?! Xiao Chengxi suddenly became sensitive, what is it that makes this fourth prince so careful!
"But later, unexpectedly, these things were robbed by a group of bandits, I heard that many people were hacked to death by that group of bandits, but my brother rolled into a snow cave, was able to escape, and desperately ran back to deliver the letter, but as soon as he came back, he was caught by the Fourth Highness and executed!" Lan'er said this, full of grief and indignation!
Shipping stuff!? Bandits! This made Xiao Chengxi shocked at the same time, and suddenly sensitively noticed something, she almost decided that this gang of thieves must be Tangjiashan, and what was robbed was specially sent to them by the four princes!
Xiao Chengxi looked at Lan'er in front of him and asked nervously, "Did your brother tell you anything!" β
Seeing Xiao Chengxi's very serious question, Lan'er was heartbroken, and said everything he knew: "My brother did find me first, he was very panicked at the time, he once said that in his life, he had never imagined that so much gold, silver and jewelry were piled together, and if these things were lost, the four princes would definitely die of distress!" β
"Does the fourth prince know that your brother has looked for you?" Xiao Chengxi felt that this Lan'er knew these things, and she would definitely be killed by the four princes, how could she still live until now and let herself encounter it!
"My brother was executed, Lan'er didn't dare to look at it, and she didn't dare to say half a word, the fourth prince shouldn't know that his brother had seen Lan'er, so Lan'er only remembered this matter deeply, and only thought that one day, she would be able to avenge her brother!" Lan'er said resolutely.
Xiao Chengxi was suddenly very happy, he didn't expect that he could really get such an important clue!
"Lan'er, you come with me in a while!" Xiao Chengxi suddenly decided that Lan'er was a very important person, and she needed to protect her with all her might!
Just when Xiao Chengxi was a little excited, a few clapping hands suddenly sounded, and he didn't expect that the third prince Murong Yan actually turned out of that corner, and his face changed from the previous warmth to some cold taste!
When Xiao Chengxi saw the appearance of the third prince, he immediately frowned: "Third Highness, what do you mean?" β
"I really can't imagine that Princess Chengxi is such a shrewd person!" Murong Yan approached calmly step by step, but the tone was very cold, without the gentle taste of the past, and there was no trace of it, "However, a woman, so smart, will get into trouble!" β
Xiao Chengxi suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and his heart chuckled, only then did he remember the warning given to him by Murong Yixuan who ventured into the palace last night, and when the third prince in front of him showed this face, Xiao Chengxi realized how naΓ―ve he was!
What made her feel a little confident was that Yan Feng was secretly protecting herself, so she no longer paid attention to Murong Yan in front of her, since she had torn her face, there was no need to entangle with him, so she shouted straight to the side: "Yan guard!" β
"Hahaha......" Murong Yan sneered for a while, "Xiao Chengxi, are you smart, or are you too smart!" Yan Feng's wooden guard was already transferred away by my Ruobing! β
Before the words fell, Murong Yan had already come to Xiao Chengxi, and stretched out his hand to grab this Lan'er, this Lan'er was very important, Xiao Chengxi made a decisive move, and slammed it on Murong Yan's wrist, Murong Yan didn't expect Xiao Chengxi to have such a quick and dexterous movement, he was unprepared, and he was slapped on the wrist by Xiao Chengxi's palm firmly, and his body couldn't help shaking, and he almost fell!
This time, Murong Yan felt that his face was dull, and a murderous look flashed: "Xiao Chengxi, you really don't know what to do!" β
The nine princes in the Qingxiao Palace, except for the stupid Nine Emperors, in terms of martial arts, they are the weakest among the three princes, which is also one of the reasons why Xiao Chengxi succeeded!
I saw the third prince roaring angrily to the side: "Ruobing! β
A delicate woman suddenly fell: "Your Highness! β
When this Ruobing fell in front of Xiao Chengxi, Xiao Chengxi couldn't help but be surprised, where was the close guard in front of him, it was obviously her!
This Ruobing, not only the clothes, dress, headdress, and this face are exactly the same as him! What's going on!
Looking at Xiao Chengxi, who was staring at him in surprise, Murong Yan smiled, approached Ruo Bing, and reached out to tear off the human skin mask on Ruo Bing's face, this action made Ruo Bing take a step back without a trace, and gently dodged more ambiguous movements.
Murong Yan didn't care, and stretched out his hand to support Ruobing's pretty face: "It's hard for my Ruobing, such a beautiful face, and I insist on wearing a mask with a scar!" β
Xiao Chengxi understood what Murong Yan said just now, it turned out that Ruobing used this method to lure Yan Feng away!
"Bring Xiao Chengxi back to me, that Lan'er, can't let her live!" Murong Yan said very coldly, and no longer paid attention to Xiao Chengxi's surprise!
In the face of such a change, Xiao Chengxi couldn't react, in front of Ruobing, Xiao Chengxi didn't even have the strength to fight back, the words of the third prince Murong Yan just fell, Ruobing had three cold lights in his hand, and ran to Lan'er, Lan'er's chest was suddenly nailed into three flying knives, only the red tassel leaked outside At the same time, the slender fingers pointed at Xiao Chengxi, Xiao Chengxi was suddenly paralyzed and couldn't move.
The third prince looked at Ruobing's neat shot, nodded with satisfaction, and walked up to Lan'er: "I really can't imagine that you still know such an important thing that has allowed you to live for so long!" After saying that, he only slapped Lan'er on the face twice and left.
The third prince Murong Yan left the Ling'an Palace of the fourth prince with Xiao Chengxi with satisfaction, and a pair of eyes in the corner saw all this clearly, looking at the direction in which Xiao Chengxi was taken away, clenched his fists, but galloped in the opposite direction, and flew directly into the military camp of the seventh prince.
Murong Yixuan was nervously arranging everything, others were not in the palace, but the things in the palace were clear, and things were developing according to his expectations, but at this time, his right-hand man Qing Hanke hurriedly walked in from outside, and when he saw Murong Yixuan, he handed over the note in his hand: "Yixuan, this note just flew into my hand, it is about Princess Chengxi!" β
"Chengxi!?" Murong Yixuan immediately stretched out his hand and took the note, and there was only one sentence on the note: Xiao Chengxi has discovered someone who should not be discovered, and he has been taken by Murong Yan to the secret room in the northeast corner of Ling'an Palace, save him quickly!
