Ye Zhiwei's eyes were deep, looking at the five imperial concubines, and she didn't speak for a long time.

The Fifth Imperial Concubine raised her head in surprise, "Princess Regent? ”

Ye Zhiwei said calmly: "I don't understand, what kind of life do you want." "It is said that although the five princes have been convicted of the crime, because the queen mother opened her mouth to intercede, his life is not in danger, and although the life of exile outside the border is more difficult, it is better than being locked up in prison and half dead.

"The concubine doesn't want to go to the border with His Royal Highness." The fifth imperial concubine thought about it for a long time and plucked up the courage to say.

Ye Zhiwei smiled faintly, "Oh? Why is that? "As a wife, if you have difficulties, but you don't want to be with your husband, it seems that the life of these five princes is also a failure.

The Fifth Imperial Concubine wept and wept, "Presumably the Princess Regent will regard me as the one who is greedy for wealth and wealth, but in fact, I have no way, if I go with him to the border, I am afraid that I will die in his hands in a few months......" She said as she suddenly rolled up her sleeves.

Ye Zhiwei was surprised to see that her arms were full of bruises of different sizes, some were scratches, some were bite marks, and some were left after burns......

Ye Zhiwei was stunned for a while.

The fifth imperial concubine bowed her head and wept, "If the princess regent doesn't believe it, you can also look at the concubine's body...... All...... It's all left behind by the beast...... He's not human! He's a brute! ”

Although the fifth imperial concubine tried her best to suppress her emotions, she still cried.

Fortunately, it is the emperor's funeral now, and even if you cry, you will not be suspicious.

Ye Zhiwei was amazed by the villain in her heart: I didn't expect the fifth prince to have this hobby, and it is really unseemly.

If the five princes treat his own concubine like this on weekdays, if he is exiled to the border, he will definitely toss her even harder, even if she doesn't die, she will shed her skin.

"Then what do you have to tell you?" Ye Zhiwei asked, "Tell me, even if I want to help you, it always depends on whether what you say is weighty enough to impress me." ”

The fifth imperial concubine stopped crying, "Hearing you say this, the concubine is relieved." She wiped her tears and straightened up, "The concubine only wants to live, and has no other requirements, I believe that even the regent will be interested in this matter if he knows about it." ”

"What you want to say is the news about the person who directed the Five Princes behind the scenes?" Ye Zhiwei said tentatively.

The fifth imperial concubine was taken aback and looked at Ye Zhiwei in disbelief, "You...... How do you know ......"

Ye Zhiwei smiled faintly, she just guessed it in her heart, seeing that the fifth imperial concubine reacted so much, it must be eight or nine without leaving ten.

"Say, if I can really satisfy the regent, I will arrange for you to leave the five princes, and you don't have to go with him to the border."

The Fifth Imperial Concubine thanked him again, gathered his heart and said: "The Fifth Highness took in a strange man out of nowhere, calling him Mr. Silent Language, this person's whereabouts are secretive, every time he appears out, he is shown with a mask, and no one knows his true face. ”

"Masks?" Ye Zhiwei's heart couldn't help but move, "What kind of mask is it?" ”

The Fifth Imperial Concubine recalled: "It's a black leather mask, but every time I see him, it's very far away, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Emperor doesn't allow us to get close at all, so I can't really see it." ”

"Do you know where he lives?" Ye Zhiwei stood up at this time.

The Fifth Imperial Concubine shook her head, "The concubine only knows that His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness often meets him in the back garden, and sometimes talks in the study at night, but this person has never been out of the house, if it weren't for this person, His Royal Highness the Fifth would not have become what he is now......"

Wearing a black mask, the first thing that came to her mind was the crown prince who had instigated the queen and the prince to find the dragon vein.

At the beginning, Feng Duhan sent someone to copy the Lu family, but he was escaped by the crown prince and the prince, and he didn't want him to collude with the five princes.

Ye Zhiwei walked to the window of the side hall and called, "Someone is coming." ”

Immediately, a palace maid appeared.

Ye Zhiwei glanced at it and asked, "Send someone to find the regent, and say that I have something important to discuss with him." ”

The palace maid hurried away.

Ye Zhiwei and the five imperial concubines sat in the hall and waited, and after only waiting for a pillar of incense, they saw the wind and twilight striding in from outside the hall.

Ye Zhiwei hurriedly greeted her, and Ying Ying saluted, "I've seen the prince." In front of outsiders, she always tries her best to save her man's face.

Feng Duhan didn't care much about this, stepped forward and grabbed her arm, looking her up and down, "What's wrong, but you don't feel well?" ”

The fifth imperial concubine lowered her eyes, and the affection of this scene deeply stung her eyes.

Ye Zhiwei leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, and the phoenix eyes of the wind and twilight instantly narrowed.

"Kawaaki." He called out to the outside of the temple.

"The subordinates are here." Kawaaki appeared at the entrance of the temple at some point.

"Bring some people, arrange around the Five Princes' Mansion, pay close attention to all those who enter and exit, and if you encounter someone wearing a mask, you will be killed."

"Yes!"

Chuan Ming went down, and Feng Duhan asked Ye Zhiwei to ask the Fifth Imperial Concubine in detail about something, and he listened on the sidelines, his thin lips pursed into a thin line.

After the noon break, the mourning lady returned to the front of the temple, still kneeling there and howling.

Ye Zhiwei knew her physical condition, and she didn't hold on, so she found an excuse to go to Xiangyun Hall to rest.

Feng Duhan arranged for people to take pictures of the five imperial concubines.

Ye Zhiwei took a nap in the Xiangyun Hall for an hour, and she couldn't let go of the things in the house, although she knew that Ling Yu would take care of Mo Nian, but suddenly leaving her own child made her a little unaccustomed.

I always seem to be able to hear Mo Nian's murmur in my ears.

It was a little late, and Chuan Ming personally came over to pick up Ye Zhiwei and return home.

Ye Zhiwei got into the carriage and left the palace.

When she was about to leave the palace gate, she saw the hurried figures of the brocade guards from a distance, and it seemed that there was a posture of martial law.

"What happened?" Ye Zhiwei picked up a crack in the car curtain and asked Chuan Ming outside.

"Back to the princess, the prisoners have escaped from the Jinyiwei prison, and they are being arrested."

Ye Zhiwei was stunned, what kind of place is Jinyiwei Prison, how can it be possible to let prisoners escape.

"I wonder which prisoner escaped?" She asked.

Kawaaki hesitated, as if he didn't know whether to answer or not.

Ye Zhiwei's heart moved, "But the fifth prince escaped?" ”

Kawaaki did not admit it, but he did not deny it either.

Ye Zhiwei only felt a chill behind her, "Have you found any clues?" ”

"It's not clear yet, the prince is afraid that it is not safe in the palace, so let his subordinates send you back first."

The carriage left the palace gate, and Chuan Ming drove towards the Regent's palace with a dozen guards.

The Regent's Palace is not far from the Imperial Palace, and during the state funeral, the road is sparsely populated and the wheels drive across the bluestone pavement, making the surroundings seem exceptionally quiet.

Ye Zhiwei leaned in the carriage and thought about her thoughts.

Suddenly, there was a slight commotion outside, and she seemed to hear Kawaaki's suppressed moans.

She opened the curtains, only to see a puff of white smoke drifting in from the outside, mixed with a faint fragrance.

As she smelled the scent, her body lost strength for a moment.

Not good! This scent is poisonous!

Ye Zhiwei suddenly raised her sleeves and covered her mouth and nose.
