The emperor's dormitory was closely guarded by the Praetorian Guards, and it was tightly surrounded. The emperor's bones have been sent to the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the dormitory is empty at this time.

When the four of them entered, the inner sanctum was still the same as it had been a few hours ago, in disarray.

Qin Yan circled around the bed tent, flew up and landed on the beam, and carefully inspected the scene.

There was not a trace of dust on the top of the bed tent, and there was no way to find any suspicious traces; The beams and the roof are intact, and there is no difference in the slightest. He hung upside down from the beam with some puzzlement, and after searching for a long time, he did not find a clue.

Qin Yan jumped off the beam.

"But what did you find?" Chu Jing asked eagerly.

Qin Yan shook his head.

"This person's martial arts are not weak, from the discovery of the jade seal to the present two hours, if someone in the palace answers, it will be difficult to find!" Qin Yan told the truth.

Chu Jing's brows furrowed.

The queen still kept wiping away tears.

Qin Yan looked at the queen secretly, her eyes were already swollen from crying, and her worried appearance was not fake.

"Qin Yan, this king orders you to go all out to find the jade seal, no matter what the cost, you must recover the jade seal as quickly as possible!" Chu Jing frowned tightly and said solemnly.

"Qin Yan is ordered!" Qin Yangong received King Jing's order, and said one more: "Lord Jing, who else knows about this matter?" ”

Chu Jing raised his head and looked at the queen.

The queen shook her head, "There are only four people here!" ”

"Lord Jing, please also preside over the overall situation, Qin Yan is afraid that he will search the palace if necessary!" Qin Yan put the worst possibility in front of Chu Jing and the empress.

"It's okay, the reason for searching the palace has already been thought of by this king, you just go!" Chu Jing turned around, "Queen, I still want to trouble you to keep a night in the palace with this king!" ”

After all, the queen is the commander of the harem, straightening her clothes and bowing to Chu Jing, "Let the imperial uncle work so hard and the palace is ashamed!" ”

Qin Yan looked at Gonggong Cai again, "Gonggong Lao accompanied Qin Yan to Zhaoyang Palace." ”

"Okay, General Qin, let's leave now!" Father-in-law Cai made a gesture of please.

Qin Yan and Gonggong Cai went to Zhaoyang Hall together.

Just after the second watch, a pair of black shadows fell from the high wall on the west side of the Forbidden Palace.

The two of them were as light as swallows, walking silently, and disappeared all the way through the palace wall to enter the Chenghua Gate.

Tonight, the palace is brightly lit. The patrolling Praetorian Guards kept shuttling back and forth, until the harem was very silent, and there was no imaginary mourning.

The two went straight to the Zhaoyang Palace, looked at the queen's bedroom surrounded by several floors from a distance, exchanged glances, went around the apse from the side, and found a place that was not easy to be found and floated to the roof like two feathers.

As soon as he hid his figure at the backs on both sides, he saw Qin Yan walking out of the hall in armor.

"Guard this place, no one is allowed to enter without the order of me and Lord Jing!" The sound was still like broken ice, and the Praetorian Guards guarding the door shivered involuntarily.

Qin Yan walked out of the range of Zhaoyang Palace, and suddenly turned his head and stared at the roof silently, as if he had telepathy, he always felt that someone was secretly watching him.

Quietly went to the front hall, walked half a way around and went to the harem again, only this time it was the back wall of the Zhaoyang Palace.

After Qin Yan left, the two figures were in one place, and they lifted the roof tiles and looked inside.

The house was brightly lit, and dozens of palace maids and little eunuchs were tied up and thrown in the outer hall. The two glanced at each other, closed the roof tiles, floated off the roof, and landed on the back wall to escape to the Imperial Garden not far away.

Qin Yan walked around to the back wall, flew onto the roof, and carefully inspected the top ridges on both sides, and the passive tiles immediately fell into his eyes.

Instantly narrowed his eyes with a cold color, and secretly wondered in his heart: It's just night, I can't wait to come, isn't the jade seal still in the palace? can retreat safely under his nose, and his skills are not weak.

He couldn't guess which side of the force this man was. When the jade seal was lost, only the prince was in the palace and had been in and out of the dormitory, and it was said that it was originally meant to be passed on to him, so he didn't need to take the risk of stealing it. But if you have the intention to blame the trouble, then it is a different matter.

It doesn't matter if the jade seal is really taken away by the prince, after all, the prince is the prince who was personally established by the emperor during his lifetime, and sooner or later he will inherit the throne. But if it falls into the hands of others, this civil strife is doomed to be inevitable.

Where were the six princes at that time?

Qin Yan pondered: When he left the Evening Fragrance Pavilion, the six princes were still there, and it would only take two quarters of an hour to come and go to the Fenglin Xiaozhu, even if he had time to enter the palace when the prince had already come......

Floating down from the roof, hiding in the dark and thinking quietly.

The two people in the imperial garden not far away watched Qin Yan go and come back, and this vigilance was enough to be impressive.

The two of them talked softly with their heads on their heads.

There are countless palaces and palaces, and it is impossible to find them one by one.

According to the news they got earlier, the two waited in the dark for a long time, and finally found an opportunity, and entered the emperor's bedroom one after the other, carefully checked the traces in the room, and found nothing.

Mu Qingyan came down from the beam, and when he turned around inadvertently, there seemed to be a touch of gray on the bedpost behind him.

gave Mu Qinghan a look.

Then he threw out the ruthless brocade on his wrist and wrapped it around the top beam, and climbed the brocade with one hand and half hung in the air to look at the bedpost carefully. Sure enough, a palm-sized forefoot print was clear and shallow.

Nodding towards Mu Qinghan, the two of them left the emperor's dormitory as fast as possible and went to the harem.

At this time, Qin Yan returned to the side hall from the Zhaoyang Palace to see King Jing and the Empress.

"That's a woman's forefoot print!" Mu Qingyan spoke in Mu Qinghan's ear.

Mu Qinghan nodded and shook his head again.

The two knew that they had no way to find it, so they decided to leave the palace as soon as possible, Qin Yan's martial arts should not be underestimated, and it would be troublesome if they were discovered.

Quickly moving along the secluded path to the west side of the palace wall, and when they came to a palace, they encountered the patrolling Praetorian Guards converging, and the two flew into the courtyard to hide.

The courtyard is not big but delicate and gorgeous, and the lights are bright to illuminate a plaque hanging on the main house, there are children's crying and the voice of the palace maid coaxing, among which there is a female voice who is angry and scolding the palace maid.

Mu Qingyan suddenly laughed in her heart, why did she forget this person! If you want to say that the most likely person in this palace to covet the jade seal, it is none other than this person.

Gently tugged at the corners of Mu Qinghan's clothes, and spit out two words between the opening and closing of his lips, "There is a play!" Then he covered his body and approached the window.

Mu Qinghan glanced at her and didn't seem to be joking, so he followed her whereabouts.

The two entered the hall without a moment's effort.

"There is a dragon and a crouching tiger in this palace, be careful!" Mu Qinghan grabbed Mu Qingyan, who was going to the inner room.

Mu Qingyan nodded, followed behind Mu Qinghan and looked through the gap in the curtain to the inner room on the west side where the child was crying, and saw three people dressed as palace maids standing in the middle of the ground, and a woman in palace clothes was sitting in front of the table, in her early twenties, with gorgeous clothes and decorations, very beautiful.

The two turned around and entered the inner room on the east side, the room was very neatly tied, and the brocade quilt and gauze tent had not been replaced in time, and the bright colors showed the glory of the past.

I searched all the places where I could hide things in the room, and even the secret room behind the bed was found, but I still didn't see what I was looking for.

It was more of a mezzanine than a vault, with some valuable trinkets and two sets of civilian clothing, all of which belonged to women, and nothing suspicious.

Mu Qinghan refused to touch the things that belonged to the woman, frowning and guarding the door.

Mu Qingyan was not so kind, his big eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't let go of the clues. Finally, she was asked to touch something in a corner of the wall, grinned at the corners of her mouth, and unceremoniously put it into her arms before coming out.

It was this thing that helped her a lot later.

The two of them went out of the inner room and discussed in the dark, but Mu Qinghan couldn't screw it, so he had to accompany her in the hall.

Mu Qingyan stared at the woman in palace clothes from outside the curtain, and refused to miss a look.

As the night deepened, the palace was boiling, and the Praetorian Guards received an order from Prince Jing to inspect the palaces and count the number of people.

In an instant, all the palaces and halls wept endlessly as if they exploded, and everyone knew that the childless concubines would be buried.

Mu Qinghan urged twice, taking advantage of the chaos to get out of the palace as soon as possible, so as not to get out of trouble.

She stared at the concubine with a dead eye, and the smile on the corner of her mouth showed when the man took his eyes away again. Just as he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to search that place, two people flew in from outside the courtyard wall on the east side, one after the other, and landed in the shadows and there was no movement.

The brother and sister stood up from the ground, crossed the beams of the room, and flashed into the corner of the wall to watch the changes in the room.

Almost at the same time, three people came outside the temple gate.

A young eunuch led two grandmothers.

"Stop! Which palace came from? The Praetorian guards guarding the gate stopped the three of them.

The little eunuch stepped forward two steps and shouted, "Presumptuous! I was sent by Prince Jing to pick up the thirteen princes to the Great Xiangguo Temple to guard the spirit! ”

The Praetorian Guard looked up and down for a long time, and recognized. Hugging his fists and saying politely, "It turned out to be Gonggong Xu, do you have a token?" ”

"There is no token, the queen mother's Yi is here!" The little eunuch lifted the roll of yellow silk in his hand, "Please go in with our family to announce the decree!" ”

Mu Qingyan listened to the people outside, still staring at the person in the Westinghouse with good eyes. Sure enough, as soon as the little eunuch arrived, he clearly felt that the man breathed a sigh of relief, and the original anxiety on his face turned into sadness, and tears were drooping with tears in his eyes.

Talk to Mu Qinghan in the form of voice transmission: "Brother Han, keep an eye on the two people on the east side, I will take advantage of the chaos to take what she is hiding." ”

"Yan'er Hugh has to be impulsive, the person who came in from outside the house on the east side is not weak, and I don't know which way it is." Mu Qinghan replied with a voice, and the two talked silently.

Mu Qingyan walked to the door along Fang Qi, and saw that a few people had already entered the courtyard, the little eunuch walked in the front, walking steadily, his heels did not touch the ground, and the two grandmothers who followed behind him lowered their heads, tall and strong, but walked silently.

"Brother Han, the person who answered is here, you have to find a way to stop the people hiding on the east side, as long as there is chaos, and I will take care of the rest!" Mu Qingyan returned to Mu Qinghan's side, and went to see the person in the Westinghouse again.

"Okay, be careful, smoke!" Mu Qinghan walked from the beam to the easternmost coffin, followed the coffin to the window, and turned out the window at the same time as the person who came to announce the decree entered the house, put his back under the eaves, and broke off a piece of tile.

"Concubine Jing and the Thirteen Princes take the order!" Gonggong Xu entered the temple gate and stood.

The women in the west room straightened their clothes and came to the central hall, and the three palace maids followed out with their crying children.

The guards who followed the door knelt neatly on the ground.

At this moment, Mu Qingyan fell from the beam to the table in the middle of the Westinghouse, and hid under the curtain that almost hung to the ground. After three or two strokes, he pried open the hidden compartment of the table, and a palm-length cloth bag fell on his hand, which was extremely heavy.

Almost at the same time, the man hiding on the east side was about to run along the wall to the window of the West House. The half tile in Mu Qinghan's hand slammed down, hitting the man's calf when he was defenseless.

Mu Qingyan came to the window, took advantage of the man's steady body and flew out through the window, and flew directly onto the roof, and the two ups and downs lost their tracks.

The man snorted and took two steps forward to stabilize his figure, and before he could find the attacker, a figure flew out of the west window and passed over his head. Immediately afterwards, the other half of the tile in Mu Qinghan's hand slammed into the door frame with a 'snap', and the person immediately climbed onto the roof and disappeared in an instant.

Another person on the east side watched everything that was happening, and couldn't stop it. I had to use what I had learned in my life to carry the injured person to the east as quickly as possible.

Everyone in the house heard the noise and rushed out, only to see two figures flying towards the east courtyard wall.

The Praetorian Guard shouted to the guards guarding the gate, "There are assassins, ...... east"

Before he finished speaking, his neck was cut off by the short sword drawn from the cuff by the grandmother behind him, and he died in front of the steps.
