Chapter 80: Into the Trap
Han Xiluo was suddenly full of curiosity. Fortunately, the position she was standing at this time was not far from the palace gate. You should be able to hear something.
I saw the maid say to the guard: "Concubine Li is going to Linglong Xuan. It's the token."
When the guard sees the token in the maid's hand. Immediately open the palace gate and let it go.
And right now. The curtain of the carriage was lifted. Concubine Li's beautiful face poked out of the car. He said to the guards, "If anyone asks about Hongu. You said that you didn't see the palace go out. You know what?"
"Yes." The guard said respectfully.
Watch the carriage slowly move out of the palace gate. The more Han Xiluo thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Isn't Linglong Xuan Situ Mujin's jewelry store? The most favored concubine in this palace actually wants to go out to buy jewelry by herself. It's unreasonable. The most important thing is that she actually sealed the guard's mouth. That means she's not just buying jewelry. There must be some other purpose. Han Xiluo's mind was spinning rapidly. Such a great opportunity. She didn't want to miss it.
Just as she was about to walk towards the palace gate. A figure suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The defenseless Han Xiluo was really taken aback. When seeing the person coming clearly. Dissatisfaction suddenly appeared on his face.
"Chasing souls. Are you going to scare your master and me to death?"
"The princess can't leave the palace." Soul Chaser said lightly.
"How did you know I was going out of the palace." He could read minds. Han Xiluo looked at him with some surprise.
The soul chaser didn't speak. Just glanced at the palace gate with his eyes.
"Uh. Now that you know it. Then don't get in my way."
"The prince ordered that the princess should not leave the palace." Soul Chaser still said expressionlessly.
"The command is dead. Man is alive. This special situation always needs to be treated specially. What's more, now the prince is not in the capital. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. He still has clairvoyance."
It's just that the soul chasing is still in front of Han Xiluo. Motionless.
"Well, I said, why are you so brainless. I just want to see what the hell that Concubine is up to. It's not to die. As long as she doesn't find out."
"They deliberately wanted to lure the princess out of the palace." Chasing souls is helpless. can only be explained.
"Hmm." Didn't I happen to see them going out of the palace?
"This dog came here with the princess according to a certain scent." As the leader of the Dark Guard. The ability to chase souls in all aspects is undoubtedly the strongest. Tracking included.
After chasing the soul so said. Han Xiluo found out the problem. Hum. Since you guys want to play. The princess is going to play with you.
"People have set traps waiting for us to jump in. If you don't go. That's not a waste of time. Right?" Han Xiluo raised his eyebrows and looked at the soul chaser.
The soul chaser was suddenly full of black lines. Why is her own princess thinking different from others? The average person wouldn't jump into it after knowing it's a trap. But her own princess felt that she couldn't let her family be busy in vain. She's too confident in the end. Still too boring.
"Follow her and we're sure to get something. Maybe you can know if she was the one who poisoned and framed the Queen Mother. Or maybe she's not at the behest of someone. And is it that she went out this time to meet the person behind the scenes?" The more Han Xiluo spoke, the more excited he became. Suddenly I felt like Detective Conan.
"The prince will look into this matter."
"But the prince is not here now." Han Xiluo really wanted to pry his brain open. See if it's all paste. Why is it so brainless?
"And the prince said. From now on you are my man. So you have to listen to me." Since the soft one doesn't work. It's just hard to come to.
Soul Chaser seemed stunned for a moment.
"We just have to follow her secretly now. See what the hell she's going out for. Or who you meet. Definitely won't let them find out. If we can find out something today. Wouldn't it be much more convenient to find out after the prince came back? Right?" Han Xiluo is both soft and hard. In short, she must leave the palace.
The eyes of the soul chaser finally met Han Xiluo's gaze.
"We don't ride in carriages either. You will take me with you. Let's hide in the shadows and watch secretly. It's good."
Soul Chaser seems to be still engaged in a mental struggle.
But Han Xiluo was a little impatient. In case of further delays, you can't keep up with Concubine Li. Wouldn't it be a shame.
"Hurry up. Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll go myself." Han Xiluo crossed his waist and glared at the soul chaser.
"The subordinates must follow the princess." The soul chaser finally spoke.
"Then don't hurry."
"But." Chasing the soul never imagined that one day he would encounter something that would make him feel at a loss. If you want to use light work. It is bound to have physical contact with the princess. But that's the princess. How dare he.
"But your sister, yes. The leader of the dignified secret guard is such a mother-in-law." Han Xiluo naturally knew what he was worried about. So just take his hand. Wrap it around your waist." All right. Let's go." As a modern person. Physical contact with the opposite sex is nothing.
But chasing souls is different. I saw that his whole body was stiff at this time. Especially the hand that was around Han Xiluo's waist. It feels like it's already a stone.
"What a daze. Let's go." Han Xiluo's patience was really about to be worn out by him.
Chasing the soul is shocked. That's when I came back to my senses. That's already the case anyway. You can only bite the bullet. A flying body. Instantly lost into the air. Disappear.
To say that the tracking ability of soul chasing is really not covered. Even if they were delayed for so long. It only took a quarter of an hour. The soul chaser has already discovered Concubine Li's carriage. So they followed in the shadows.
The direction of the carriage is indeed not in the direction of Linglong Xuan. Instead, they sailed out of the city. It looks like there will really be a lot of gain this time. Han Xiluo became more and more excited.
Out of town. The carriage headed for a small road to the east. Drove on the bumpy side road for about half an hour. The carriage stopped in front of a dilapidated log cabin.
It seems to sense that someone is coming. The door to the cabin is opened from the inside. A man with a sturdy figure walked out. A look of vigilance.
After seeing who it is. His expression relaxed slightly. But it's still a gloomy look.
"The master said. The people in the house are no longer of use. Ordered me to come and dispose of it." It was obviously the maid beside Concubine Li who spoke.
"Hmm." The big man answered in a deep voice. Then he turned around and walked inside the house.
Han Xiluo, who had been hiding not far from them, naturally heard their conversation word for word. Looks like they're going to deal with someone. Master. Who is the master of their mouths? Who is the person in the house who is going to be dealt with? And what is the origin of this maid beside Concubine Li. All the questions instantly surged into Han Xiluo's heart. Her eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.
Soon. The big man took a man out of the house. Look at the reminder should be a woman. Han Xiluo's gaze was firmly fixed on the unconscious woman. She wanted to know who the hell that woman was. But the woman's face was obscured by her stray hair. She couldn't see clearly.
Come to the carriage. Concubine Li's maid stepped forward slowly. She slowly reached out her hand. Slowly remove the loose hair on the woman's face. And the woman's true face is gradually becoming clearer. When the loose hair is completely pulled away. Han Xiluo couldn't help but gasp. It's her. Han Xiluo's eyes widened. Stunned, he looked at the unconscious woman. Qingrou. How could she be here.
And at this time, the chasing soul around him was when he saw Qingrou. There was also a hint of doubt on his expressionless face.
"Hmm. Put her in the wagon." Concubine Li's maid seems to have confirmed the woman's identity. Then he said to the big man.
The big man didn't answer. Just put the unconscious Qingrou into the carriage. And Concubine Li, who was supposed to stay in the carriage. It's gone.
Han Xiluo couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of him for a while.
Why did they catch Qingrou? What do they want to do with Qingrou. Where did the concubine who was supposed to be in the car go. This question after question made Han Xiluo's mind confused at the moment.
It's all there. And whose conspiracy is it.
The carriage in front of the wooden house suddenly moved. Heading in the other direction.
Han Xiluo came back to his senses in an instant. Now is not the time to ask questions. Anyway. She must not let anything happen to Qingrou.
Han Xiluo glanced at the soul chasing beside him. Her eyes were so determined.
Chasing the soul naturally understands what the princess means. So one flew away. Continued to follow.
It's getting darker and darker. And the carriage didn't seem to mean to stop. Where the hell do they want to take Qingrou.
"Princess. It seems that they are going to go out of the Southern Shu Kingdom. Shall we continue to follow?" Chasing the soul used the sound transmission technique to say to Han Xiluo.
Han Xiluo won't do this. You can only turn your head. Nodding at the Soul Chaser. No matter what. She must find a way to rescue Qingrou. She and her father were both Nangong Liye's lifesavers. Even one died for it. One is still suffering from Gu poison. How could she leave her alone?
"The princess first found a place to rest. One of my subordinates is going to save Miss Qingrou." There was a hint of worry in the voice of the soul chaser. After all, the princess is not a martial artist. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it like this.
Han Xiluo couldn't speak. I could only shake my head. Let her rest in this deserted place and wait for him. Then you might as well follow him. In case you run into a wolf, a snake, or something. Then she won't explain it here.
Seeing that the princess refused to let go. Soul Chaser could only continue to follow Han Xiluo behind the carriage. Han Xiluo, who hasn't eaten for almost a day. Plus the fatigue along the way. Finally couldn't resist. Slowly leaned on the shoulder of the soul chaser and fell asleep.
Chasing souls is first stiff. It seems that there is some kind of ideological struggle going on. And Han Xiluo on the shoulder is the convention of moving forward. The head leaning on the shoulder of the soul chaser leaned back slightly. There was also a slight sound of dissatisfaction coming from his mouth. Chasing souls sees this. The face was stunned. It was as if something important had been decided. Then he hugged Han Xiluo horizontally in his arms. Because the posture suddenly became comfortable. Han Xiluo unconsciously leaned towards that comfortable place. And this move naturally made the soul chaser stiff. He suddenly noticed that his heart was beating a little faster. The soul chaser shook his head vigorously. No way. He couldn't think much about it. So he turned all his attention to the carriage in front of him.
And inside the palace at this time.
"The Queen Mother. You're awake." Ping'er suddenly exclaimed. Then he happily ran to the bedside.
The Queen Mother, who was lying on the bed, finally opened her eyes slowly. Due to the duration of the coma for too long. Her voice had become hoarse. She tried hard to make her voice louder. But it's still as thin as a mosquito." Hair. What happened. Mourning home. Mourning home."
"The Queen Mother. You've just woken up. Don't talk so much. The slave and maid will go and ask the princess to come and show you at once." After speaking, he didn't wait for the Queen Mother's answer. Quickly turn around and prepare to go to the side hall. But at this moment, I saw Chen'er running in in a hurry.
"It's over, it's over." There was a cry in Chen'er's voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Princess. The princess is gone." Tears fell from Chen'er's anxious eyes.
"The princess is gone. How could it be." Ping'er was visibly taken aback.
"Really. I've just looked for almost the entire palace. There is no trace of the princess. I asked a lot of people and they said they didn't see it. I wonder if the princess is out. So he ran to the gate of the palace and asked the guards. They all said they hadn't seen the princess." Dusty said with a sob.
"How so. Impossible." Ping'er thinks this can't happen.
There's no way to speak properly, though. But her ears are still good. From their words, the Queen Mother knew that it should be Han Ke'er who was gone. She opened her mouth. Swapping Ping'er.
"Ping. Ping'er."
It's vague though. But Ping'er still heard the Queen Mother calling her. So she walked quickly to the bed.
"The Queen Mother. You change slaves."
"Yes. Kerr. How. How." The Queen Mother tried hard to express it clearly. But it's still an intermittent sound.
"Slave ......"
"The Queen Mother is awake." Nangong Zhen's sudden voice interrupted Ping'er's words. Ping'er and Chen'er immediately knelt down.
"Back to the emperor. Yes." Ping'er tries to make her voice sound as normal as possible.
Nangong Zhen took a stride to the bed. I saw that the Queen Mother was looking at him with her eyes open. He couldn't help but laugh. But in the end, I endured it. Said softly: "Queen Mother. It's good that you're awake."
"Yes. Kerr." The Queen Mother was worried about Han Xiluo in her heart. Her name is still being shouted in her mouth.
Hearing the Queen Mother's voice so hoarse. Nangong Zhen couldn't help frowning. But when I heard the name of the person called by the Queen Mother. He suddenly sensed that something was wrong. To say that the Queen Mother is awake. Han Keer will definitely come over to see it as soon as possible. And she lives in a side hall. There's no way he's gone to see her.
