Chapter 53: The Black Flower

Concubine Li was upset, and when Concubine Zhang Xian asked about the prince, the wine glass in her hand tilted, and some of the wine spilled out.

The little turtle stood behind Concubine Zhang Xian with a wine jug, and an imperceptible hint of a wicked smile flashed on her face.

He looked at Xing Yao, who was looking at him with two eyes, his gaze very sharp.

He didn't dare to look directly, and hurriedly added wine to the two mothers.

This is the code he discussed with Concubine Zhang Xian in advance.

Concubine Zhang Xian immediately changed the subject and said, "Sister, why don't you take a look at such a beautiful flower?" It's going to be dark later, and I can't see it if I want to. ”

Hearing that the topic had changed, Emperor Li Guifei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you sister for your kindness, this palace has been uncomfortable recently, and I don't want to walk." ”

"Then let the crown princess go and see it for you, if you like it, pick some back and arrange flowers for your sister in a vase. How about I lead the way myself? Concubine Zhang Xian made a flattering appearance.

Emperor Li Guifei wished that she would hurry away and agreed, but she was worried that Xing Yao would speak nonsense, so she advised: "Xia Chan, you are new to the city, you must understand the rules." ”

Xing Yao nodded toothlessly as she had requested.

Concubine Zhang Xian led Xingyao around the back garden, asking and asking about the East Palace from her, but she either said she didn't know, or she just smiled.

Concubine Zhang Xianfei did not get any useful information from her.

"Have you ever seen a black flower?" Concubine Zhang Xian's thinking seemed to be jumping, and she changed the topic in an instant.

Xingyao shook his head.

"Because it's too precious and difficult to cultivate, this palace is reluctant to take it out." Concubine Zhang Xian stopped, looked at Xing Yao and said, "But you saved Prince Sheng's life, and we have never thanked you." The prince has always complained about this palace, and this palace is also ashamed. Since today is an opportunity to repay, how about taking you to see it? ”

Xingyao was curious and nodded.

"Okay, I'll let Grandpa Turtle take you there." Concubine Wang Xian smiled with satisfaction.

The little turtle took Xingyao out of the back door of the back garden, entered a small forest, and through the small forest, he saw a nursery, in which there were several thatched houses.

Entering one of the thatched huts, there were indeed black flowers that the wind spirit had never seen before, the flower stems were not high, each rod was about 3 large leaves, and the flowers had a single stem top, and the shape was large, like an upright wine glass.

Xing Yao was watching intently, and suddenly several people rushed in, all masked, surrounded her, and pointed their swords at her.

The little turtle was also tied up by the five flowers.

"What are you going to do!" The little turtle asked them angrily.

"It's noisy!" The masked man said as he gagged the turtle's mouth.

"Who are you?! Say! The masked man at the head asked Xing Haruka sharply, the tip of his sword pointing close to her face.

Xing Yao thought to himself, even if this is a sparsely populated garden, it is also in the palace of King Sheng.

How could a large number of robbers appear in such a heavily guarded place? Unless it's an insider disguise.

"My name is Xia Chan." She replied calmly, her face unchanged.

The masked man didn't expect such a seemingly weak woman to be afraid at all.

He implemented the second step ahead of schedule.

He raised his arm, and the two masked men outside escorted another person in.

Apparently a girl, with a black cloth on her head, it seems that her mouth is also gagged, and she is sullenly "ah".

"We brought the summer cicadas from the summer rice row, you are a fake summer cicada. Say! Who are you? The masked man asked again.

"Joke!" Xingyao said disdainfully.

Her father, Mitzer, was a well-known local lawyer, and she memorized the "Ming Law" as a three-character scripture since she was a child.

If these masked men were civil robbers, they wouldn't care about the impersonation of the show girls, and there was no need to risk entering the palace to meddle in things.

If they belong to the government, they can be publicly arrested and interrogated in court, so how can they use such an unseemly way to extract confessions?

Unless they are from the East Factory, the West Factory, or the Jinyi Guard.

The factory guards can indeed arrest people at will, even if they arrest the royal family and nobles, but they don't need to be masked at all.

There is only one reason why they are masked, and that is because they are unwilling to show their true faces.

Who would be so disguised?
