Undercover investigation
It was night, and the whole palace fell silent. Xiuzhen Pavilion was dim, Shangguan Jing quietly turned over, glanced at the sleeping people, fumbled with the dagger hidden under the pillow and lifted the quilt, opened the cabinet and took out a set of night clothes, and tiptoed out of Xiuzhen Pavilion.
There is no moon tonight, and the gray sky seems to have been splashed with a layer of ink, gloomy and heavy.
Shangguan Jing hid the dagger in his sleeve, covered it with a black veil, wrapped his long hair, and jumped onto the roof in an instant.
Shangguan Jing thought that it was easier to fly the eaves than to hide from the patrolling Praetorian Guards on the ground.
There were twice as many Praetorian Guards patrolling the palace at night than during the day, and under such pressure, Shangguan Jing could only take one step at a time, and it seemed that there were Praetorian Guards all the way, and Shangguan Jing had to lie on the roof to find the right time.
Tonight, she had to go into the study anyway.
Shangguan Jing always had a feeling that she would find the answer she wanted in the imperial study.
In the past few days when she entered the palace, she often walked around, seemingly admiring the beautiful scenery in the palace, but in fact she was secretly surveying the terrain. Wherever she went, she would silently write down the location so that she could act in the future.
Shangguan Jing came to the imperial study in the dark, and cleanly eliminated the two guards guarding the door.
She didn't even think about pushing the door directly, and she didn't notice the existence of another person in the imperial study - that person was Murong Chen!
Murong Chen came out of the Qinzheng Hall tonight, and finally got rid of Su Lin and came to the imperial study alone, but he didn't expect to meet Shangguan Jing in disguise.
Destiny!
Murong Chen panicked in his heart and hid behind the bookcase. He was still holding half a jade pendant in his hand.
Of course, at this moment, he naturally didn't know that the person who came in was Shangguan Jing.
Shangguan Jing was also careless, only thinking about finding some clues and evidence that could be used, completely forgetting the most basic viewing environment.
She walked in and gently closed the door, grabbing steps forward to rummage through the bookshelves.
Murong Chen quietly poked his head out to look at her, and the jade pendant in his hand clenched even tighter.
Shangguan Jing was still rummaging in a hurry, and finally found the deeds of her Shangguan family.
The book clearly recorded the rise and fall of her Shangguan family.
Shangguan Jing's gaze swept over, and only at the end of the book did she pause and read carefully. The more I look at it, the more annoyed I become, and the more I look at it, the more chilling I feel.
Thinking back to her Shangguan clan, she has been loyal since the establishment of Da Liao and has never exceeded any courtesies of monarchs and ministers.
However, in this cold book, it is recorded that Shangguan Cheng is like an adulterous colleague with the enemy, and he intends to rebel, which is really a great rebellion. The Shangguan clan, both male and female, are assigned to the frontier. His son Shangguan Jing fell off a cliff, his life and death are unknown, and he is regarded as missing.
It's hilarious! She's alive and well! They live right under their noses.
It seems that today's Daliao is not only in a mess, but even the ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense has become stronger, which is really gratifying!
Shangguan Jing closed the book heavily, slammed it back on the shelf, turned around and rummaged through the other books.
Murong Chen subconsciously hid back, wanting to wait for Shangguan Jing to leave before coming out, but he didn't expect him to accidentally lean on the bookcase behind him, and the untidy bamboo scroll on the bookcase fell to the ground, piercing the silence of the room.
Shangguan Jing almost subconsciously showed the dagger in his cuffs, fixed in place, and his whole body was tense.
She swallowed in fear.
"There is a ...... in the imperial study," she said secretly in her heart.
Murong Chen hid in the dark, and Shangguan Jing walked in the direction of Murong Chen.
The temperature of the whole room seemed to be frozen, and only the sound of each breathing could be heard quietly.
Before Shangguan Jing could reach his side, Murong Chen picked up the bamboo scroll on the bookcase and threw it at her.
Shangguan Jing subconsciously dodged sideways.
Murong Chen fled from the place where Fang Cai was hiding in a trance.
Shangguan Jing's reaction was also particularly shocking, and as soon as she parted her face, the bamboo roll passed in front of her eyes.
Shangguan Jing stepped forward and pressed Murong Chen's shoulder, intending to pull him back, Murong Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist, turned around and clasped her.
Shangguan Jing swung his dagger and stabbed at him, and the imperial study full of bookcases was very small, not enough for the two of them to fight here.
In fact, after Shangguan Jing saw Murong Chen clearly, she dispelled the idea of killing him, because she still had to find more evidence by approaching Murong Chen, and she must not spoil the overall situation because of this.
Every time she attacked Shangguan Jing, she skillfully avoided Murong Chen's vital point, and she didn't know when she had withdrawn her cold dagger and fought with her bare hands.
Murong Chen also felt her intentions - this person was skilled, but he didn't look like he wanted to take his life.
He found a gap and grabbed her hands and buckled them up.
"Who are you?" Murong Chen asked eagerly.
Shangguan Jing was silent, and a cold gaze flashed across his eyes.
Shangguan Jing raised his right leg above his head and kicked him in the head. Murong Chen was kicked and stunned, his head was dizzy, and he fell to the ground.
Outside the Imperial Study, the patrolling Praetorian Guards heard the movement and rushed towards it. Shangguan Jing glanced at Murong Chen, who had fainted on the ground, and jumped out of the window to escape.
In fact, Murong Chen didn't really faint, he was awake all the time. He just wanted to let her go.
More often than not, he has other thoughts.
The next day, the whole palace became nervous, and the Praetorian Guards during the day also increased. Early in the morning, the palace maids and eunuchs in each palace had to go through strict scrutiny if they had been out of the house last night, or were on duty at night.
In just one morning, the assassination of Murong Chen in the imperial study spread in the harem.
Leng Yang was furious when he heard this, and directly scolded Su Lin, at this time he should have been dragged back to the room and lying on the bed with his butt covered.
And Murong Chen clearly didn't hurt anything, but kept pretending to be dizzy and lying on the couch.
Leng Yang was next to the couch, and all the palace maids in the inner hall withdrew, leaving only the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital to gather together and secretly make trouble-
What the hell is wrong with Your Majesty? After a long examination, there were no other injuries or internal injuries, so why couldn't I wake up?
Murong Chen lay down here, no matter what he did, he couldn't get in the oil and salt, which could hurt those imperial doctors. The imperial doctors didn't dare to look directly at Leng Yang at all, because her face was already very dark, and if anyone who was not afraid of death dared to look at her directly at this moment, it was estimated that she would see blood later.
It's not easy to do this job as a doctor now! They are about to be questioned at every turn, and they express their panic!
"What's going on? How long has it been! Leng Yang began to go crazy again.
Seeing her son lying here, she didn't feel good.
Before the imperial doctors could speak, they saw Concubine Shu crying and crying.
Not long after she had a miscarriage, she was still very weak, her face was pale, and she didn't fix her makeup like other concubines, and it seemed that she rushed over because she was in a hurry.
Leng Yang glanced at her lightly, his face full of disgust.
A concubine like her, Leng Yang, has long been commonplace.

Thank you again for your support of my novel and for your affirmation. Many people ask me why I keep interrupting the update, and the novel is not serialized for a few days, whether it is impossible to write. I have to make it clear here - first of all, the novel has always been under my control, and there is absolutely no such thing as being impossible to write. Secondly, I am a student party, and my schedule is usually to get up at 5:50 in the morning and finish class at 11:30, followed by classes at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and 9:50 in the evening self-study. At this time, I was able to go back to my dorm to rest, and it was almost eleven o'clock after washing, so I could only start coding at night. It's usually about 12 o'clock.
Sometimes I'm so sleepy, lying on the bed with my phone, falling asleep with my phone on the code, and it's normal for the phone to hit my nose and mouth.
So, having said all this, I hope you can understand the difficulties of being a student party.
However, I will try to spare as much time as possible to code words and not fall too far behind.
Finally, thank you again for your referral votes. Love you 😘
