Still couldn't swallow this breath, Qing Li took advantage of the night to go to Yin Li to settle accounts. But when he walked outside Yin Li's door, he hesitated again.

She knew that Yin Li didn't like her, but instead of disliking her, she thought she was brainless and disgusted her stupid.

In the past, when the two of them served together in the house, they could get along simply. When he entered the palace, it seemed that he had changed.

The door, which she did not dare to enter, suddenly made a noise, as if the person in the door had opened the latch.

Qing Li hurriedly hid behind the pillars on the side, holding his breath, afraid of being detected by him.

At this time, Yin Li had already walked out of the room, he looked around, and he didn't feel anything wrong before disappearing into the night at a very fast speed. That is, in a blink of an eye, Qingli couldn't find his figure. "What are you going to do at such a late hour?"

Driven by curiosity, she quickly followed.

Yin Li's ear power was so good that he could hear the movement, and Qing Li cautiously kept his distance. But judging by his vigilant figure, this matter must not be so simple.

It's also a shame that the moonlight is excellent tonight, otherwise you won't be able to see it in the dark.

Moving neatly on the Echo Building, Yin Li frowned at the figure squatting in the corner, and couldn't help frowning: "Why do you have to ask me to come here?" ”

"It's quiet, it's easy to talk." Although the other party's voice was soft, it was much louder than Yin Li.

Qingli, who was hiding downstairs, could hear it clearly, but he couldn't recognize whose voice it was.

"What the hell do you want?" Yin Li said unhappily: "The silver that should be given to you is not a penny." This is the best ending for the matter. Don't be dissatisfied. ”

"The Queen Mother is holding on to this matter, how can it end." The man was not happy when he heard this: "You only give me such a small amount of silver, don't you want me to sit and eat nothing?" In any case, you must find a scapegoat and settle the matter completely in front of the emperor. Otherwise, if I fall into the hands of the Queen Mother, it will be absolutely impossible to keep my mouth shut, and then you don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. ”

"Threaten me?" Yin Li only felt funny, and his tone was full of frivolity. "You know I've never been afraid of this."

"Nature is not to threaten you, but to state the facts." The man smiled: "You can kill me now, but you also have to see if you have the ability to clean up the mess." Before I came to see you, I thought about the situation in advance. If I can't go back tonight, tomorrow morning, the secret you want to keep will be known to everyone. When the time comes, you won't be able to cover up the entire palace if you kill all the people in the palace. That's where it gets interesting. ”

"Hmph." Yin Li's face was cold, and the moonlight reflected the cold light in his pupils, looking so terrifying. "You're really thoughtful."

"It's just to protect yourself." The tone of the other party's voice became a little heavy: "Yin Li, you must know that it is the best way to hand someone out to end this matter." Only in this way can the emperor be prevented from continuing to investigate. You and I can rest easy. ”

"There is no such right person." Yin Li still refused to listen to him. "What's more, things that can't be found are leaky. Pushing someone in at random will only make things snowball. I said it, as long as you don't come to pester me anymore and don't trouble me anymore, there will be no omissions, why don't you listen. Could it be that your guts are smaller than the wild cats in this deep palace? Can't stand this scare? ”

"If you don't do it, I'll do it." The other party has no patience to continue with him. "It's the incident in the back window, don't blame me for not reminding you today."

"You dare." Yin Li's expression was cold, as if he wanted to eat people.

Qing Li only heard the sound of blades clashing, and was not sure who had the upper hand. The heartstrings are tight.

What the hell is going on? Yin Li even had to hide it from his master. Or is he the one who murdered the queen at all? He had actually betrayed his master early on?

The heart was beating wildly, and Qingli seemed to rush up to ask for clarification. But in this situation, she has no evidence, so if she asks rashly, Yin Li will not be able to say that if she can't keep it, she will kill people.

I was thinking about it, and suddenly I heard a crisp sound of "clang", and I don't know whose blade was knocked down. She clutched the clothes on her chest and didn't dare to make a sound for a long time.

"You'd better do what I say, or don't blame me for being rude." Yin Li's cold tone exuded a sense of majesty. "If you still want to do anything, I will be the first to push you out to take the blame. At that time, it will be in vain to say anything. Silver is good, but you have to spend it. ”

With that, he put away the sword in his hand and turned to go downstairs.

The creaking sound of stepping on the stairs made every hair of Qingli stand on end, and it felt like someone was holding a cold knife and cutting your hot skin inch by inch. It may not be particularly painful, but it is uncomfortable.

Qingli held his breath and wanted to wait for the people upstairs to come down, so that he could follow secretly. Find out who this person really is. If Yin Li is not easy to check there, this person may be a breakthrough. But after waiting like this, I waited until my legs were numb, and I couldn't see half a figure. She was a little impatient and wanted to go upstairs to have a look, but she was afraid that the other party was just knocked unconscious by Yin Li, and in case she hit it, it was difficult to explain why she appeared in this place.

Full of torment, she was like an ant on a hot pan, and she didn't know where to go.

She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and endured the discomfort of her numbness as she walked towards the stairs. I don't know why, I'm just scared. was afraid of demolishing Yin Li, and even more afraid of knowing what she shouldn't know. Some people look glamorous and handsome, but if they expose his golden and jade skin, they will find not only corruption, but also disloyalty and treachery.

Thinking of this, she finally gritted her teeth and turned around and walked out. Xu was too violent and too big, she didn't see the person in front of her clearly, and crashed into it.

"Are you here to wait for me?" The man's voice sounded a little heavy.

Qingli quickly pulled out the dagger in his sleeve: "Don't ...... it"

Before she could say the words, the other party slashed down with a knife and knocked her unconscious.

"With such a three-legged cat's kung fu, he dares to come out and be embarrassed, hmph, the master is becoming more and more tolerant." The man carried the plough as if he were carrying his prey. "If you're unlucky, you send it to the door yourself, don't blame me for being unkind."

The bright moonlight sprinkled the entire palace with silver light.

On the huge palace road, there are patrolling guards from time to time.

Yin Li is naturally familiar with patrolling and arming, and can always skillfully avoid the eyes of these people. When he walked into a path that was rarely visited, and entered a temple that he didn't know what it was, he disappeared without a trace.

A dark shadow followed in, but didn't know where to look.

The more I walked into the hall, the more I felt that it was too remote, and there was not even a shadow of the guards. So the question is, what is he doing here at such a late hour?

The cold sword was attached to the white and tender skin, and a cool pain quickly spread throughout the body.

It's just a little cut, fortunately it's just a little cut, Bingling's whole person is not good, if this position is cut deeper, I'm afraid she won't be able to leave this unknown temple.

"Bingling, don't serve the queen well, what are you doing with me?" Yin Li had already recognized her and deliberately brought her to this place.

"How can I follow you." Bingling said angrily: "It's too dark, and I haven't been in the palace for a long time." I originally wanted to go to the Scripture Pavilion to get the scriptures for the queen's mother, but who knew that I would get lost while walking. Seeing that there was a person in front of him walking very fast, I thought that I could follow him and maybe I could go to a familiar place. And he followed, and who knew that it was you. ”

"What a sharp mouth." Yin Li said contemptuously: "You have followed me here from my residence, you won't treat me as a Buddhist scripture, right?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about." Bingling said angrily, "Who has been following you since you lived?" I was a figure I saw halfway down the road. ”

"Hmph." Yin Li naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't want to say more to her: "No matter what purpose you had when you entered the Ruiming Palace, or what you heard tonight." But if a word goes out, I will kill you. ”

"You're so unreasonable." Bingling was angry: "I said that I didn't follow you, you don't believe it." It's still scaring people. No matter how bad it is, I am also the person next to the queen's mother, if you treat me like this, are you not afraid that I will tell the mother to punish you? ”

Yin Li didn't speak, but grabbed her by the collar and turned her around suddenly: "What I said, you'd better keep it in your heart." ”

The cold light in his eyes, Bingling may not forget it in his life. It was a kind of ruthlessness that could peel off a layer of skin from people's hearts, and it scared her to death. "You...... What exactly do you want to do? ”

"Don't think that pretending to be pitiful is useful to me, you can clearly know how to work hard, but when you saved the queen in the mansion that day, you couldn't help it, you can deceive others, how can you deceive me!" Yin Li's tone was resolute: "I warn you for the last time, stay away from me and keep your mouth shut." ”

Bingling was frightened by his terrifying fierceness.

So much so that he had already walked out of the temple, and she couldn't calm down.

When Yin Li was found missing, her legs were weak, and she immediately fell to the ground. "It's so dangerous, but fortunately I didn't fight back...... But who was the man who had followed her from his residence? ”

Bingling muttered to himself, and it took a long time to barely stand up. Facing the wind of the autumn night, she walked quickly on the palace road. The clothes wet with cold sweat were so pumped by the wind that I felt that the cold had all penetrated into the pores. This uncomfortable taste, I am afraid she will never forget in her life.

Cen Muning was awakened by a nightmare, her head was covered with cold sweat, and she was also thirsty.

called the green plow, but no one answered, so he called Bingling again.

But in the huge wing, it is unusually quiet. There was no response at all. She must have had a bad omen in her dream, and she was full of anxiety. He hurriedly put on his clothes and quickly pushed open the door. "Bingling, Qingli?"

It was the Ming and Qing dynasties who were on duty outside the door, and they couldn't help but be startled when they heard the queen's movements. "Queen Mother, why are you up? In the middle of the night, what happened? ”

Cen Mu froze and gathered his loose hair behind his ears before he said slowly, "Shouldn't Bingling and Qingli leave one to serve here?" Why are there no two of them? What's going on in the palace? ”

"This ......" Ming Qing thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "Then the queen mother took the medicine and went to sleep, and Qingli said to prepare tomorrow morning's decoction and go down first." Bingling is here to accompany the queen mother. Later, the Internal Affairs Bureau came to deliver the persimmons and chestnuts that had just been paid tribute, and the servants went to the small kitchen to make some of them. It was already dark when I returned. The slave always thought that there was someone in the room to serve the mother. ”

"That's weird......" Cen Muning became more and more uneasy when she heard him say this. Because she can't trust others, the only people she serves close are Qingli and Bingling. Usually those little palace maids do things, and they take turns to take and watch. There has never been a time when two people were not around together. Even if there were, it would definitely not be a word of explanation.

"Hurry up and ask someone to look carefully in the palace." Cen Muning didn't have the heart to wait until dawn, if something really happened, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to wait for dawn. "Go. If there is no one in the palace, go out of the palace with the token of the main palace and look for ......"

"Yes." Ming Qingjue felt that the situation was serious and did not dare to delay.

Cen Muning was holding a handful of cold sweat in her palm, could it be that these two girls were dissatisfied with Yin Li and went to him to theorize? Or did the Queen Mother have to force her to admit that her injury was a bitter ploy, so she arrested her closest people and tortured them?

No matter which one it is, Cen Muning hopes that they can come back safely. People cannot show the slightest weakness. Especially the women in the palace here. A little weakness is a good opportunity for others to bully you.

"Mother." Ming and Qing went and returned, with a worried face: "I searched all over the palace, but I didn't find any trace of the two girls." The minion has already asked someone to open the palace gate with your token, so it's time to look for it outside. ”

"Okay." Cen Muning stood at this tuyere and trembled, Ming Qing hurriedly entered the house and took a cloak to put on her. "Mother, you might as well go into the house and wait. The body is weak, but it can't blow the night wind. ”

"It's fine." Cen Muning knew that she was not cold, she was afraid, she was afraid. If at this time, the Queen Mother's hand stretched out to her, she would not blink her eyes. But when she thinks of the pain of losing someone closest to her, she is afraid. Scared don't know what to do.

"Ming and Qing Dynasties, where is the emperor tonight?" Cen Muning's eyes were slightly red, and at this time, she couldn't help but think of Zhuang Chen.

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor went to Concubine Yingniang's palace tonight." Ming Qing's voice was a little soft when he spoke, for fear of touching the heart of the queen's mother. "I'm afraid I've stopped at this time......"

"Got it." Cen Mu Ning waved his hand slightly: "You take them to find them again, the palace is waiting here." ”

"Yes." The Ming and Qing dynasties retreated neatly, and this huge hall seemed even more empty.

Cen Muning is alone, and the feeling of standing in this wind is not lonely, not cold, but not dependent.
