Ying Lin was silent for a while, not answering my words.

"Why do you have to obey orders with the King of the North Sea?" I asked again indifferently, already a little impatient, and my tone was extremely bad.

"Master...... Slave maid ......" Ying Lin was so frightened that she couldn't speak, "The slave maid wanted to repay the favor because His Royal Highness the King of Beihai saved the slave maid, so the slave maid listened to His Highness's order." ”

I remember that she once said that on the way back to Pingcheng a few years ago, it was Xie Rin, an attendant of the King of the North Sea, who rescued her, and then the King of the North Sea saw her and asked for her.

I thought back to before, saying this, the sudden appearance of the Sea King in Shili Hebei was also a letter from her, and perhaps more often, she informed the North Sea King of my whereabouts.

Since she disappeared and returned to Gaofu, she has been communicating with the King of the North Sea and telling him everything about me, so what about my secret, I am not Gao Yang's daughter, does she also know?

I looked at her blankly, wondering how much she knew about me......

"You confessed to yourself, you told the King of the North Sea what he had done!" I said coldly.

The night had darkened, and the wind was blowing gently.

Ying Lin said a lot, and the rest was not very important, until she confessed that the letter from Xiao Heizi's mother, Aunt He, was also stolen by her and given to the King of Beihai. I was completely angry.

She really betrayed me completely.

I already know in my heart what was written on that letter, but why didn't the King of Beihai ask me personally when he took the letter for so long.

What's going on in his mind?

I am not the daughter of Gao Yang, but the daughter of a former courtier, why should he keep this secret for me? What was his intention to hold my letter, my mind was in a state of confusion for a moment.

It's a secret that can't be taken out and told to others, but this secret is dragged by the royal family and nobles, what should I do!

"Yi'er, lock up Yinglin." I instructed Yi'er indifferently, and I didn't pay attention to Yinglin's pitiful expression anymore.

Yinglin didn't have any words to excuse herself, but asked Yi'er to grab her arm and take it away.

I raised my head and looked at the night sky, night is coming, I can't affect my mood at this time because of Yinglin, there are more important things tonight.

Yi'er locked Yinglin in a private room and locked it before coming to me.

I changed into light clothes, ordinary folk clothes, and covered with a scarf.

Tonight, I'm going to visit the Taihua Hall and get back the jade unicorn. The hour is pressing, and it won't be long before the Empress Dowager will return to the palace.

Zhu Yan I instructed her to send soup to Feng Zhaoyi, and when Zhu Yan went to Yong'an Palace, I followed him out of Zhaoyang Palace.

I asked Qiuyun to stay in the outer room of my temple, and explained to her, and if anyone came, she would say that I was asleep.

Yi'er covered me, followed me in the dark, and if someone noticed something unusual, she came out in time to say that she was passing by.

Everything was in order, I met Nangong Ni outside Zhaoyang Palace, and we went to the Taihua Hall together.

Tonight is the reunion day, and the slaves and maids in the palace have benefits, and at this time, they are all resting for fear of not doing their jobs. There was a lot less movement than usual tonight.

Nangong Ni and I avoided the patrolling Ouchi guards and came to the outside of the Taihua Palace.

Nangong Ni took the lead and jumped into the inner courtyard of the Taihua Hall first, and I followed.

The lights in the Taihua Hall were still bright, and she and I skillfully moved our bodies and entered the Taihua Palace. In the main hall, it is not a place to hide things, we went directly to the sleeping palace of the Empress Dowager.

As soon as I arrived at the door curtain, I saw that there was a slave in the inner room who was adding sesame oil, so I dodged and looked at Nangong Ni vigilantly.

Nangong Ni hid behind the wooden frame, the vase blocked her figure, although there was a light in the room, it was night after all. If you don't pay attention, you still can't see it.

After waiting for the slave to come out, I moved my body slightly and walked into the inner chamber of the Empress Dowager again.

Seeing that no one should be bothered at this time, Nangong Ni and I began to look for things.

Time passed slowly, and I turned over the inner room, and I didn't see the shadow of the jade unicorn, and my heart, which was not nervous, suddenly felt a little twitched with sadness.

Nangong Ni walked up to me and gave me a look, lost. It looks like tonight's action won't yield anything.

Just when I thought I should give up this opportunity tonight, I glanced at the bed. There was a crack in the base of the bed, like a slight crack.

I walked over and crouched down to look at the gap.

Nangong Ni also walked over, and after taking a look at me, he also looked at the gap seriously.

Such a gap makes me feel that there should be a dark compartment in this base of the bed.

I knocked lightly, listening to the sound, which made my heart happy, there must be a dark compartment in it.

Nangong Ni took out a dagger from his body and pried it along the gap, and the wooden board was pried open. A dark compartment appears in front of our eyes, and a box is placed inside.

I was overjoyed, took out the box, opened it, and found that inside the box was the jade unicorn, my jade unicorn.

I couldn't help but smile, closed the box and put it in my arms, and got up to get ready to leave.

I walked with Nangong Ni at the same time, and just walked out of the curtain of the inner room, when I heard the slaves and maids in the main hall outside welcoming the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager has returned to the palace, and Nangong Ni and I have not yet walked out.

I looked at Nangong Ni and showed her that tonight, we were exposed, and maybe we would die a tragic death.

Nangong Ni looked at me in a daze, and after being depressed for a while, she said softly, "I went to cause turmoil, and Niangniang took the opportunity to escape." ”

"I can't get you involved." I panicked.

Nangong Ni's eyes blinked, her expression was very sad and a little frustrated, "Miss Yihua...... If I, Nangong Ni, die here tonight, I hope you can tell Master Hou that Nangong Ni's heart will always be there......"

I grabbed her arm and said solemnly, "You still tell him this yourself, and I won't use your life to fulfill myself." ”

I stared at her, "You run, I'll take this disaster myself." ”

"No, if you die, Hou Ye won't be able to live, and I'll ......" her voice became softer and softer, "I, Nangong Ni, am just one of Hou Ye's maids, he won't care." ”

"No, let's go together." I can't be so selfish, I was about to get up and rush out by myself, but I didn't know that Nangong Ni slashed down with a palm, and I was knocked out by her.

I seem to have had a long, long dream, from seeing Xiao Jingqi when I was a child, until he left me, and I woke up crying.

The back of my head hurt so much and woke up feeling a headache. When I opened my eyes, Takubahiro was sitting on the edge of my bed, and when I woke up, his haggard face smiled.

I sat up and looked out the window, it was already dawning, and the sun was shining in outside. I don't know when it was.

Tuoba Hong kept greeting me in front of me and saying something, but I didn't listen to a word. My mind is full of the scene of last night's invasion of the Taihua Palace.

There are still words in my head before Nangong Ni slashed me off with a palm.

I was about to blurt out Nangong Ni's situation, but I calmed down and controlled my emotions, and just turned my gaze to Tuoba Hong's face.

He looked at me with a soft smile and then pulled me into his arms. I didn't struggle, and looked up at the rest of my bedchamber.

Zhu Yan and Yi'er were all there, standing aside and watching, without saying a word.

I thought of the jade unicorn, pushed open and touched my arms, there was nothing, and my clothes from last night had already been changed.

Tuoba Hong looked at me stunned, "Rong'er, what's wrong?" ”

I hurriedly said lightly, "It's nothing, Rong'er just can't remember what's going on." ”

I was surprised and puzzled, and at this time, Jianyi'er gave me a look, telling me not to worry.

"I shouldn't have returned to the palace late, so that such a big thing happened in the palace, Rong'er, you were knocked out by the assassins, it was I who failed to protect you again." Takubahiro said quietly in front of me.

What the hell is going on, I want to know at this point.

I looked at Tuoba Hong blankly, and asked softly in confusion, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

I just pretend that nothing is clear.

Tuoba Hong touched my hand and said softly, "Last night, the Empress Dowager's bedroom entered the assassins, and the Empress Dowager was frightened, but fortunately, the Yulin Army came in time, and the Empress Dowager's life was not in danger. ”

I pretended to be still unclear and said, "Assassin? ”

"Well," Tuoba Hong nodded, "the assassins were extremely martial arts, killing several slaves and maids escorted by the Taihua Palace, and when they rushed out of the Taihua Palace, there were thieves who came to answer them, but the Yulin Army arrived in time and captured an accomplice, while the other assassins fled the palace." ”

When I heard this, I was stunned, and I didn't know who had been caught.

When I stiffened my expression, Tuoba Hong smiled and smiled sarcastically, "Rong'er, you must not have imagined that the black-clothed assassin who broke into the Taihua Hall turned out to be the musician Nangong Ni......"

Nangong Ni's identity was exposed.

I was stunned again, looking at Tuoba Hong in silence, my face was pale, and I didn't know what expression to use to respond to Tuoba Hong's words.

If Tuoba Hong continues to stay in front of me, I don't know what kind of emotions I will have, I am busy holding my chest, and said weakly to Tuoba Hong, "Rong'er is uncomfortable, I want to sleep a little longer, the emperor, please go back first." ”

Tuoba Hong hurriedly said, "Can I pass on the Imperial Doctor to take a look?" ”

I hurriedly picked up his words, "No, Your Majesty, Rong'er really just wants to sleep a little longer, and Rong'er wants to be quiet for a while." ”

Tuoba Hong looked at me in a daze, and said half-loudly, "That's good." ”

He covered me with the quilt before he got up to leave, maybe he should have dealt with last night's emergency.

After seeing him leave, I hurriedly sat up and got out of bed, Yi'er already knew that I wanted to ask, so she waited by my bedside.

"You all go out, Yi'er stays." I looked at Zhuyan and Qiuyun and said.

After the slaves and maids retreated, I had already gotten up from my bed, and I was a little nervous, "Who was arrested last night?" ”

If it weren't for Nangong Ni, it would have been Xiao Jingqi or those individuals who knew my secrets, who else would there be.

Yi'er replied to me quietly, "Niangniang, it's Xuanjia." ”

I was confused, and sure enough, they must have been the only ones who came to the rescue last night.

My feet were weak and I almost fell, but Yi'er helped me, "Niangniang, the jade unicorn slave has hidden it for you." ”

"After I fainted last night, what happened later, why am I okay, still in Zhaoyang Palace?"

I held Yi'er's arm and waited for her to answer my doubts and puzzles.
