When she came out of the Xinling Palace, the scarlet smoke was still a little foggy, she never thought that she just wanted Yu Chimu to help her drag Yin Ruoting for a while, so that she could carry out the next plan, but this man was so resistant that he almost threw his sleeves and left. His reaction was a little confusing to the second monk, and he looked up at the four big words "Xinling Wangfu" on the plaque, the woman frowned and shook her head, and then got into the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion and drove back.

Wei Chimu admitted that he was really a little angry with the woman who smoked. He knew what Yin Ruoting, the daughter of the Yin family, thought about him. Although she is now in the prince's east palace, every time she meets her in the palace by chance, she will be courteous to herself, and even once deliberately fell, just to show him her palace sand mole.

This woman's thoughts were so clear that Wei Chimu was extremely disgusted. And now, the woman Scarlet Smoke actually wants to push herself in front of Yin Ruoting for her so-called plan? Isn't that a bit excessive? A heavy color welled up in the man's deep eyes, and his thin lips were pursed, revealing that he was in an extremely bad mood at this time.

Mu Wang on the side saw this situation, he didn't dare to come out, he hadn't seen his prince show such emotions for a long time, thinking that the princess was really not simple, he could be angry like this, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't have the courage to ask, so he had to wait with his head down.

When the mood gradually subsided, Wei Chimu restrained his expression and said coldly, "Send someone to keep an eye on Concubine Hua in the East Palace, and tell this king everything she has seen and what she has said for twelve hours." ”

"Hand a post to the Prince's Mansion, and the king will visit in a few days."

When the carriage was about to stop at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the scarlet smoke suddenly made the coachman turn his direction and drive into another alley, and after about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped again. Scarlet Smoke got out of the car, raised her head slightly, and when she saw the two big characters "Yan Mansion", the corners of her mouth raised an arc, and at the moment when she was about to arrive at the Prime Minister's Mansion, for some reason, a thought flashed in her mind, so without hesitation, she came here.

Reaching out to clasp the knocker, when Uncle Lu came to open the door for Scarlet Smoke, a smile appeared on her face and she called softly, "Uncle Lu." ”

"Hey, it turned out that Miss Yan was back, and it just so happened that Mother Liu made pastries, come into the back room and taste it." As soon as Uncle Lu saw that the person who came was Scarlet Smoke, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face, half-hugged her, and greeted her cordially, "Acui is still talking these days, I haven't seen Miss for a long time, and I miss it very much......"

Scarlet Yan listened to Uncle Lu's words, and a little warmth welled up in her heart, since Shao Yan went to southern Xinjiang, she would run to Yan's Mansion if she had nothing to do, and she became familiar with the people in the mansion as soon as she came and went. Walking into the house, within a few steps, Scarlet Smoke saw a familiar figure.

As if sensing her gaze, the man turned around slowly, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a smile of satisfaction on his beautiful face, the woman's plump figure will hold up the slightly ordinary clothes with a unique style, this woman is not long ago, because of the miscarriage of the city storm - Wu Ying.

Wu Ying and Scarlet Yan looked at each other and smiled, and said, "You're here, Hao'er has been very peaceful recently, and the little guy seems to know that he won't stay in my stomach for long, and he won't make a fuss, which makes me feel a lot better." ”

Since experiencing that incident, Concubine De seems to have changed as a person, and she pounces on the child who is about to be born in her womb wholeheartedly, exuding a maternal brilliance around her body, gentle and gentle like a puddle of water, as if the sinister situation she experienced before to protect the child has never happened, and Scarlet Smoke's heart suddenly felt a little emotional.

"Hao'er, this child, is not born yet, and he will feel sorry for his mother." Scarlet Smoke chuckled, "The time for childbirth is almost coming, you have to rest more these days, I have asked people to prepare everything, you just need to give birth with peace of mind." ”

Hearing this, Wu Ying bowed her head and looked at her high bulging abdomen with a loving face, "Okay." After that, she raised her eyes and suddenly said meaningfully, "If you like it, why don't you give birth to one yourself?" ”

Scarlet Smoke was stunned when she heard this, and coughed lightly uncomfortably, "Ahem...... Why is Brother Wu not here? ”

Seeing that Scarlet Yan diverted the topic, Wu Ying pursed her lips and smiled understandingly, and then said, "He had to buy any ingredients in person, saying that he would come back to make porridge for me, he was more sensitive than me, and he was a man of all kinds, I couldn't stop him, so I went with him." ”

Since not long ago, Scarlet Yan agreed to Wu Yixin's request, he has lived in the Yan Mansion, in addition to taking care of Wu Ying, he will also walk around the Shantang and learn some simple medical skills. As he said before, as a little-known concubine of the Wu family, even if he disappeared suddenly, not necessarily how many people would care, so without much effort, the scarlet smoke made the person "Wu Coixin" completely disappear in the Wu family.

Hearing Wu Ying's words, Scarlet Yan nodded, "I have something I want to ask you about this time." ”

"You ask," Wu Ying smiled with relief.

"Before leaving the palace, have you seen Concubine Hua in the East Palace?" Scarlet Smoke got straight to the point and asked directly.

When Wu Ying heard the word "Concubine Hua", her expression was slightly cold, "You said the concubine of the Yin family, Yin Ruoting?" Seeing Scarlet Smoke nodding, she said slowly, "I've seen it twice, this woman is quite deep, and she has a vicious heart, so she is not an easy person to deal with." Has she been doing anything lately? ”

Looking at it, Scarlet Smoke's voice was slightly deep, "She and Scarlet Moon have joined forces, it seems that she is planning something, and I don't know for the time being, so I want to ask for some news from you." ”

The woman's brows furrowed slightly, and a soft sigh overflowed from her lips for a long time, she took out a hairpin from her arms and handed it to Scarlet Smoke, "I don't have a clue about this matter, you take this hairpin to the imperial dining room to find a maid, Xiangling." She was supposed to be the one I installed in the East Palace, but since I was no longer in the palace, I arranged a relatively safe place for her to go, maybe she could know something. ”

Scarlet Yan took the hairpin, looked at it in his hand, and then thanked Wu Ying, and stayed in Yan's Mansion for a while before returning to Xiangfu slowly.

The next day, Scarlet Smoke hid the hairpin in his sleeve, followed Scarlet into the palace with Scarlet Minister, came to the imperial dining room, and found the maid named Xiangling after a little inquiry.

When she took the hairpin out of her sleeve, a complicated expression clearly appeared on Xiangling's face, and it took a long time to slowly bless herself, "I don't know what Miss wants to know?" ”

Scarlet Yan glanced at her deeply, and said softly word by word, "I want to know what Concubine Hua and Concubine Scarlet in the East Palace are planning." ”

Hearing this, Xiangling was stunned fiercely, and then frowned, "It's really as Miss thought, but specifically, the slave maid doesn't know, it's just that about half a month ago, Concubine Hua installed some people in the house." I once overheard her conversation with Concubine Scarlet, as if to say that around the twentieth day of this month, one person will be put to death......"

"But the slave doesn't know who it is."

Is it about twenty days? Scarlet Smoke pondered for a while, now that October was halfway over, and when the Dark Guard reported that day, Crimson Moon said that they would advance the plan, which meant that they would take action on these two days. Thinking of this, Scarlet suddenly noticed that Xiangling's face was a little hesitant, and couldn't help asking, "Is there anything else you think is strange?" ”

Xiangling raised her eyes and said in a low voice, "The slave once saw Concubine Hua's personal maid pour a bowl of medicinal juice in the same place for several days......"

"Have you been to that place?" Scarlet eyebrows swept slightly.

Xiangling took a deep breath, "The slave maid brushed aside the turf in that place, and found that the dirt exuded a strange smell, and even seemed to have some ...... Eggs? ”

Eggs? Could it be some kind of Western Regions poison, or Southern Xinjiang Gu Thing? It's interesting. Scarlet Yan shook his head and smiled, let's not investigate where this thing came from, just the fact that the people in the prince's mansion privately kept poisons in captivity is enough for Wei Xian to be involved in a few books, the southern border is already turbulent, and the Western Regions or Southern Xinjiang will intervene in it, it is not difficult to imagine how much turmoil it will set off in the DPRK once this matter breaks out.

After learning the exact location of the eggs from Xiangling, Scarlet Smoke left the imperial dining room and headed there. If she guessed correctly, the eggs would hatch in the near future, and as long as she knew what it was, the tricks of Scarlet Moon and Yin Ruoting, she would have a way to make it self-defeating. After wandering around the palace for a long time, when she finally came to the tree that Xiangling had described, Scarlet Smoke could see at a glance that something seemed to be squirming under the land.

And just when she wanted to get closer, she was grabbed by a hand that stretched out from nowhere, and then the scene in front of her changed, as if she had come to the back of a rockery. Scarlet Smoke subconsciously wanted to elbow the person behind her, but she didn't want the other party to be faster than her, so she directly locked her firmly in her arms.

"Who are you!?" Scarlet Smoke whispered, a slightly dangerous light in her beautiful eyes turning.

"You don't need to know who I am," a hoarse male voice sounded behind him, "you just need to know that I saved you just now." ”

Scarlet Smoke frowned, "You saved me?" ”

The man said noncommittally, "I don't know what it is, I want to get in touch, I don't know if it's big-hearted, or stupid." ”

Hearing this, Scarlet Smoke's eyes narrowed slightly, she obviously hadn't seen the man behind her, but he invisibly saved his life, so his purpose may be the same as herself? Ignoring his words, Scarlet said lightly, "Your Excellency knows what it is?" ”

"That's the Mother of Bloodthirsty Insect Gu in Southern Xinjiang, and now it's already formed," the man's voice didn't carry a trace of warmth, "I live by sucking human blood, if you go directly just now, the eighty-one insect servants bred by the mother worm will pour out of the nest, and you will instantly turn into a dry corpse." ”

The woman's eyes widened, a trace of horror flashed on her face, she had naturally heard of such a thing as the Bloodthirsty Insect Gu, but she didn't want to meet it in the southern country, she was silent for a long time, her thin lips opened lightly, and she spit out a few words, "In this way, Your Excellency is from Southern Xinjiang?" ”
