"Niangniang-" At midnight, Kou Shu was still asleep, and a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, it was Yuan Ming's voice.

Kou Shu reacted almost instantly, opened her eyes, and there was clarity in her eyes: "Yuan Ming? Coming back? ”

Yuan Ming knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said, "Niangniang, the heavenly box is at Lan Haoke, the elder brother of Concubine Lan." ”

"The Heavenly Machine Box is related to the safety of Daxuan, can you get it back?" Kou Shu frowned and asked.

"The Heavenly Machine Box is hidden in Lan Haoke's own bedroom, Yan Yi and I have been monitoring day and night for several days in a row, and finally used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain to steal the Heavenly Machine Box back," After a pause, Yuan Ming continued: "Then Lan Haoke probably didn't expect that he was exposed. Therefore, we can take advantage of it. ”

Kou Shu nodded, put down a big stone in her heart, and continued to ask, "Where is the Heavenly Machine Box now?" ”

"Ahem-cough-cough-" Yuan Ming coughed violently, as if he was lacking in strength, his face turned a little pale, and he slowed down for a long time before he reluctantly spoke: "Yan Yi has taken back the imperial study, and now he should have returned to the emperor." ”

Kou Shu frowned: "Are you injured?" ”

Yuan Ming smiled bitterly: "Lan Haoke's skills are even higher than we imagined, if I fight with him alone, I'm afraid I won't even have a three-point chance of winning." This time, fortunately, Yan Yi and I were on a mission together, and we were able to barely recover the Heavenly Machine. ”

Kou Shu nodded: "You don't have to follow me these days, go back and rest." Is Eichi also injured? ”

"Yes, both Isaichi and I are injured." Yuan Ming replied.

Yuan Ming is a person who has been trained by his father since he was a child, and Yan Yi is a secret guard trained by Song Jinyan's side, and he can hardly see Yan Yi's movements when he shoots in front of him several times, and his martial arts are even more unfathomable. And these two people joined forces, and they would actually be injured by Lan Haoke, Kou Shu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and she was a little more vigilant about this person.

"Mother, there's one more thing." Yuan Ming's figure was stunned, as if he remembered something, lowered his head and continued: "As far as I know. A total of three keys are needed to open the Heavenly Machine Box, and Lan Haoke has already obtained one, and now Lan Haoke is trying to find a second one. ”

"The second key?" Kou Shu's mind moved, there were a total of three keys in the Heavenly Machine Box, and the three keys needed to work together to open the Heavenly Machine Box. Among the three keys, one Song Jinyan had already given himself a sculpture under the pretense of a statue, one fell into the hands of Lan Haoke, and the other should be the one he wanted to take from Kou Fu that day but didn't get it.

"Does the emperor know about this?" Kou Shu asked.

Yuan Ming was stunned, tilted his head and thought for a while and replied: "Yan Yi and I both know about this matter, and now that I am back, Yan Yi should have already told the emperor about it." I think the emperor already knows at this moment. ”

Kou Shu nodded and motioned for Yuan Ming to step back. A carp straightened up, Kou Shu sat quietly on the bed and thought for a while, changed his clothes, and went to the imperial study.

"The queen came late at night, is she afraid that I will be lonely and lonely?" Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows, looked at Kou Shu and laughed.

"The emperor should know why Kou Shu came tonight." Kou Shu ignored Song Jinyan's joke, and said with a straight face: "The second key of the Heavenly Box, does the emperor plan to let it go?" ”

"Oh?" Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that the queen plans to go with me?" ”

"Since the emperor plans to go to Koufu, the concubines should be more familiar than the emperor, doesn't the emperor need concubines?" Kou Shu looked at Song Jinyan directly, and her eyes emitted a scorching flame.

Song Jinyan glanced at the music on the table, and said casually: "How does the queen know that the key that Lan Haoke took away is not the one hidden by the Kou family, and I am going to the Kou Mansion tonight to retrieve the key?" ”

"Something happened to Kou Yan," Kou Shu paused and continued: "The emperor has been sending people to keep an eye on the Kou Mansion and the bamboo forest in the backyard of the Kou Mansion, if someone really entered the Kou Mansion, how could they not find out?" Therefore, the last ownerless key must be the one in Koufu. Kou Shu asserted.

Song Jinyan smiled lightly, looking at Kou Shu's eyes, there was a hint of approval. Then he changed his words and said, "In this case, the queen is here today to go to the Kou Mansion with me, what good is it for the queen?" ”

Kou Shu raised her eyebrows: "The emperor also underestimates me Kou Shu too much, this matter is related to the safety of Daxuan, besides, this Lan Haoke is also inextricably linked to his father's death, even if there is no matter of the heavenly box, I want to check this person." ”

"Without further ado, one step earlier is one point safer, if the key is in Lan Haoke's hands first, we will have three points less chips." Seeing that Song Jinyan didn't speak, Kou Shu continued to speak.

After pondering for a long time, Song Jinyan spoke: "I understand what the queen means, but this time I went to find the Heavenly Machine Box, Yuan Ming and Yan Yi were both injured, if the queen wants to go together, she must be more careful." Lan Haoke's martial arts should not be underestimated, even if it is his subordinates, they must not act rashly, with the strength of my own people, if it comes to a critical moment, I am afraid that there will be a time when I will not be able to take care of it. ”

Kou Shu nodded, her eyebrows were full of determination, and she said: "The emperor once gave his concubine a statue, and there was a key hidden in it, which reminded the concubine that when she was a child, her father once gave her a dagger. ”

"Dagger?"

Kou Shu nodded and said, "The texture of the dagger of the concubine is very special, very similar to the texture of the key in the statue. I remember that when I first saw the key, I didn't think about it, but I felt that the texture was very familiar, and I slowly thought about it later. ”

"Where is the Queen's dagger now?" Song Jinyan frowned and asked.

Kou Shu shook her head, and said while thinking: "Since the concubine entered the Qingcheng Gate four years ago, the Qingcheng Gate rules that disciples are not allowed to bring any weapons into the door, so the concubine has not seen the dagger for many years, and only vaguely remembers that the concubine left home, and the dagger was placed in the concubine's boudoir." ”

Song Jinyan looked up at the window, tonight was foggy, the night was thick, and it was the middle of the night when he couldn't see his fingers. Kou Shu is right, tonight is indeed a good day to travel at night. If Lan Haoke takes the lead today, it will be very disadvantageous to them. Song Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was making up his mind.

"In that case, I bother the queen to accompany me to the Kou Mansion." Song Jinyan looked at Kou Shu and said with a smile in his eyes.

"Yes-" Kou Shu bowed slightly, raised her body, a pair of beautiful eyes turned slightly, the two looked at each other, and there was a different tacit understanding in their eyes.
