Queen Xu's eyes darkened, she lowered her head and drank tea, and she didn't have the meaning to talk further, but the next plot was no longer unexpected, it was just a mandarin duck beaten by a secular family, and there was no part in it.

I made up a paragraph on my own, and Empress Xu had already eased her emotions and asked, "Since you are the daughter of Brother Leng, why did you lie about being from Jinan Mansion, why did you come to the palace?" โ€

When it comes to sensitive issues, I have to brace myself and deal with it cautiously, "Back to my mother, my father is getting old, my younger brother has not yet grown up, and my courtiers have taken over the business of reporting for the livelihood of the Leng family. About a year ago, I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by chance, and since then I have had a lot of contacts and have become more and more close. A few years ago, His Royal Highness was assassinated, although fortunately he was unharmed, but it made the courtiers feel palpitations. Not long ago, the courtiers accidentally bumped into the murderer who assassinated His Royal Highness in and out of the palace, and was very worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, so she discussed with His Royal Highness and used the strategy of selecting a female official in the palace to disguise Yang Qingyue of Jinan Mansion to enter the palace, so as to secretly investigate the real murderer and ensure the safety of His Royal Highness. โ€

When Empress Xu heard this, her eyes turned: "I have heard for a long time that the people in the palace have gossiped, and Chi'er has found a confidante among the people, and she is witty in her wisdom, is that you?" โ€

This scandal spread, and even the queen knew about it...... My cheeks flushed, and I whispered, "I'm afraid it's the courtier." He hurriedly added, "But the courtiers and His Royal Highness's friends have nothing else." โ€

Queen Xu smiled: "You girl, your temperament is a little similar to when I was young." If you have to support the old and the young at a young age, it will also hurt you. It's just that you just broke into Kunning Palace in a hurry, why? โ€

Only then did I remember the original intention of coming to Kunning Palace, and said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that it's the crown princess, and there is some misunderstanding of the courtiers......

Empress Xu has been in charge of the harem for many years, so she is naturally a little clear: "The princess ......" Looking at her inadvertently frowning eyebrows, you can see that she doesn't like this daughter-in-law very much.

As he was talking, he heard the rumor from the palace maid that the crown princess was outside the Kunning Palace and asked to see the queen.

I timidly glanced up at Queen Xu, and saw her think for a moment, "Since you are the daughter of Brother Leng, this palace will protect you." โ€

She looked solemn, with a bit of the majesty of the mother of the country, "You said what you said today, and the palace will believe it, but now Your Majesty is sick, the court has its own thoughts, and the palace is also weird, and the prince of Chi'er is already struggling." You are Chi'er's friend, this palace hopes that you will focus on the overall situation in everything, don't add unnecessary trouble to Chi'er, you need to remember. โ€

I hurriedly bowed my head and said "yes". It seems that in the matter of the prince, Queen Xu is still towards the prince.

"The son has seen the queen mother, and I wish the queen mother good health."

"Flat." As Empress Xu spoke, she handed a few Buddhist scriptures in her hand to me beside her, and said lightly to the crown princess: "The female official of your East Palace has been well chosen, and the binding skills are skillful, I like it." And let her repair these Buddhist scriptures for me. โ€

I knew in my heart that this was Empress Xu using the Buddhist scriptures to save my life, so I replied: "Yes." โ€

"Good. There are still a few volumes of plain cloud brocade in my palace, and it is very good to make Buddhist scripture covers, and I will let someone send them to you tomorrow...... What is the matter with the crown princess? โ€

I glanced at the crown princess, saw that her face was pale for a while, and finally gritted my teeth and said, "It's okay, I'm here to ask the queen mother for peace." โ€

Hearing that I was "hunted down" by the crown princess, Ji Shui Leopard expressed his fear: "You, you will still stay in the East Palace honestly in the future, don't run around, you know?" โ€

After that, he looked at my black dress from head to toe, and the corners of his forehead jumped: "You...... Where is this going? โ€

I instantly felt embarrassed that I had been caught doing something bad: "Qianxi Palace......"

"You!" The leopard simply reached out and poked my head, "No wonder the old wolf said, you girl doesn't have a long memory if she doesn't suffer hardships." โ€

In the darkness of the night, I followed the sturdy leopard through the palace. "Regarding the plain aunt in the Qianxi Palace, I sent someone to inquire." While squatting in the bushes to avoid the night guards, the leopard whispered in my ear, "That Aunt Suxin, who was originally a personal maid brought by Concubine Shun and her relatives, followed Concubine Shun into the cold palace. About half a year ago, after a heavy rain, in the weeds in the backyard of the Qianxi Palace, a piece of white bones was exposed! โ€

The leopard spoke with emotion, and with the midnight and three watches, it really made the back of the neck chill: "...... And then what? โ€

"The white bones were seen by the old eunuch on duty in the Qianxi Palace, and he was so frightened that the seven souls flew away, and he was about to report to Jin Wuwei, but he was pressed down by Concubine Shun, saying that it was just that the dog he raised died and was buried in the backyard, so there was no need to make a fuss." The leopard pursed his lips disdainfully, "The old eunuch didn't dare to say much, but his heart was very open: Concubine Shun's little dog is not as tall as a bench, where does the ruler-long bone come from?" โ€

"In other words, the real Aunt Suxin may have died a long time ago." I was a little puzzled, "Since Concubine Shun is willing to let Ziyan pretend to be by her side, it means that she and the second prince have already colluded." It's just that I don't understand, what's the use of the second prince entrapping a lost concubine who has entered the cold palace? โ€

"Don't forget, Concubine Shun was born in Tatar, and her father Arutai Khan has tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry under him, and he has coveted the pass for a long time." The leopard had a "you know" expression, "Besides, in this huge palace, if you want to find the most unobtrusive place to facilitate plotting, it must be the Qianxi Hall of the Cold Palace." โ€

I nodded with admiration: "Brother Leopard's intelligence and strategy, it's a pity to be a guard." โ€

"yes." The leopard raised an eyebrow at me with a smug face, "The night patrol has passed, let's go." โ€

The Qianxi Hall at night is becoming more and more gloomy.

Seeing that there was no light in the front hall and it was pitch black, we went all the way to the backyard.

As the leopard described, the backyard of the Qianxi Palace was overgrown with weeds and was particularly desolate. Coupled with the white bone thing I just heard, I was careful with every step, for fear of stepping on someone else's heavenly spirit cover.

Suddenly, the leopard in front of him froze, squatted down and pressed one hand into the ground.

I was stunned: "You...... Got a bone? โ€

The leopard made a "silence" gesture, simply bent down and put his ear close to the ground, listened with bated breath for a while, got up and whispered to me: "There is movement underground......

I shuddered when I said this, but before I had time to think about it, I was dragged by the leopard all the way west, and stopped outside the window of a side hall.

I could vaguely see a glimmer of light in the side hall, and there were whispering voices when I listened closely.

The two of us looked at each other, poked a hole in the window paper and looked in.

Sure enough, I saw a figure shaking in the corner of the side hall, as if someone was carrying a huge heavy object from the corner of the wall.

Contacting Fang Cai Leopard to say "There is movement underground", I understood after a little thought: "In the Qianxi Palace, there is a tunnel?" โ€

As I spoke, I looked to the side, but I was horrified to find that there was still a leopard around.

But in an instant, I felt that I was pinched by a hand with a strange fragrance, and the charming voice of purple smoke sounded in my ears:

"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into!"

"Whoa!"

A basin of icy water poured down my head, waking me up from my coma.

I shook my head and barely opened my eyes, and I saw a dark dungeon, with my hands bound in iron chains and chained to a wooden post, beside me......

"Brother Leopard!"

"Don't worry, you're not dead yet." The leopard, who was beaten and covered in blood, raised his head and sneered, "Their little trick is just a tickle for the master." โ€

My heart ached, and tears were about to fall: fighting like this is still a hero......

"Brother Jishui Leopard is really tough, he is a good man!"

I looked and saw a face that I hated most in my life, and there was no one.

"But nosy people don't end well." The ghost golden sheep walked up to the Keishui leopard with his hand, "For the sake of you and I who were both Jinyiwei, I will give you a happy death, don't thank me...... Miss Leng, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm very worried about it. โ€

I sneered: "It's rare for my teacher and nephew to be filial." However, your uncle and I have never been waiting to see you, and it is best for you and I to never see each other again. โ€

After I finished speaking, the leopard on the side laughed a few times very appropriately: "Xiaoyue, your nephew is so rude, you don't know how to bow down when you see your uncle!" โ€

"Hey, the master is unlucky!"

The two of us sang and harmonized, which made the ghost golden sheep's yellow skin a little whiter, and gritted his teeth and said: "Death and life will never see each other again...... Well, I've got your wish! Come on, send them to Hades! โ€

I suddenly regretted a little that I was too impulsive to tease this stinky sheep just now.

After all, being killed by someone because of the speed of his tongue, it is not glorious to go to the underworld.

He was hesitating to be pressured to give in to the sheep "for the time being", when he heard a "slow" from the door.

Then I saw a man in black with a thin body and a long knife on his back hurrying towards us, swept our eyes coldly, and said in the ear of the ghost golden sheep: "The lord has an order, take this woman to meet him quickly." โ€

I took a long breath: The second prince wants to see me, and it seems that he can't die for the time being.

The ghost golden sheep was disappointed, and waved his hand to let me down, but his eyes fell on the leopard: "This person is the self-proclaimed No. 1 water leopard in the world, and a person from the twenty-eight houses of Jinyiwei...... Daojiu, if you kill him, it will be a great achievement in front of the Lord. โ€

The man in black who was called Dao Jiu listened, walked to the Keishui leopard in two steps, and looked at him contemptuously.

Knife Nine? I remember that Qin Lang once told me that the knife is as big as the ninth knife, and he is the top dead soldier under the second prince, and the devil who kills people without blinking.

The man in front of him was as thin as a hemp rod, and on his brown-black face, a long centipede-like scar extended from his left temple to the right corner of his mouth, and he looked particularly terrifying.

I vaguely remembered that I had seen this person.

The Keishui Leopard also raised his eyes and glanced at Dao Jiu, and suddenly smiled: "Seeing that you are also a person with strong martial arts, do you dare to let your Leopard Grandpa go to fight, if you win against me, it doesn't hurt to take this life!" โ€
