Text: Chapter 43: The Secret Art of the Western Regions

Concubine Shu is gentle and elegant, although she is a concubine, she does not have the frame of a concubine, and she communicates with Qin Liusu very happily, and Qin Liusu also regards her as her sister in her heart. But during the conversation with Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu suddenly fainted, which made Qin Liusu discover a shocking secret - Concubine Shu was poisoned.

All kinds of evidence suggest that the mastermind behind this matter is actually the queen. Qin Liusu realized that this matter was strange, and her curiosity drove her to want to go to the queen's bedroom tonight.

It was getting late, Concubine Shu was picked up by her father-in-law in a sedan chair, and when she left, Concubine Shu did not forget to thank Qin Liusu, Qin Liusu felt that it was a miracle that a kind-hearted person like Concubine Shu could survive in this harem with an undercurrent.

On this night, the dark clouds in the sky covered the moonlight in the sky, and the moon was dark and the wind was high, ominous.

For Qin Liusu, who is accustomed to a simple person traveling with her bags on her back, the restrained life in the inner courtyard of the palace really makes her feel helpless, why can't everyone in the harem get along well, just like Concubine Shu and how good it should be.

Qin Liusu's idea is of course very good, but the source of all this is so easy to solve, greed and strife are the source of all this, and it is almost impossible to resolve this struggle.

"Niangniang, why are you so sullen?" Thrush also learned the shouting method of Qingming and others, and changed the name of the young lady to "Niangniang".

"I don't know why, I just think the palace is terrifying." Qin Liusu said while vigorously tearing off the cumbersome hair ornament that he was wearing on his head.

"Mother, you have to slow down." Thrush saw Qin Liusu, who had ripped off his hair because he was pushing too hard, and said distressedly.

Qin Liusu is also a vigilant person, and he did not tell the thrush the secret he peeked into Concubine Shuniang today, so as not to startle the snake.

"Miss, I heard that there have been deaths in this palace." The thrush looked at Qin Liumo suspiciously and whispered, "No wonder I feel eerie too." ”

"What a prosperous place this palace is, but why is this Chaoyang Palace so remote and sparsely populated." Thrush continued.

"How can you believe such ghosts and gods at such a young age?" Looking at the thrush's funny appearance, Qin Liumo couldn't help but smile secretly.

"It's not that the thrush believes in this ghost and god, it's just that the thrush has personally experienced ......"

Listening to the thrush talking about this god and ghost, Qin Liusu seemed to believe it a little, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

The sky was snow-white, and the fog filled the Chaoyang Palace, and a woman in white slowly walked to Qin Liumo's side.

The woman in white looked very exquisite, and Yu Qin Liumo was not inferior to her, this was her pale complexion, without a trace of blood.

"Who are you? No one has been here in years. The woman in white said to Qin Liusu expressionlessly, and didn't look at Qin Liusu.

"Little girl Qin Liusu, who are you?" Qin Liusu said with some fear.

"Qin Liusu? Are you Xiao Yun's daughter? The woman in white didn't answer Qin Liusu's question, but asked her.

Qin Liusu was very surprised when she heard that she actually knew her mother, and hurriedly continued to ask, "Who are you?" Why did I know my mother? ”

"Haha,,," The woman in white chuckled softly, "How old are you now?" I still remember how cute you were when you were a kid. ”

"Eighteen, do you know me?" Qin Liusu asked puzzled.

"Naturally, your eyes looked so much like your mother. How about your mother come in? The woman in white said unhurriedly.

People who have seen Qin Liusu's mother and Qin Liusu can't help but sigh at the similarity between her eyes and her mother's eyes, so Qin Liusu relaxed his vigilance. said: "My mother passed away due to illness when I was 15 years old." Qin Liusu couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Hearing this, the woman in white was also very sad and said, "I didn't expect Sister Xiao Yun to pass away." Then why did you come to this Chaoyang Palace? ”

"My marriage contract with His Royal Highness Chu Jiechen has been decided, so I came to this Chaoyang Palace."

"You and Jedi are married. If you come to this chaoyang, it means that you are the crown princess, so isn't Jiechen the crown prince? The woman in white finally looked happy, but her face suddenly changed, and she said, "But how could the emperor let Jiechen be the prince......

"And who are you?" Qin Liusu asked puzzled.

The woman smiled softly: "Have you forgotten me, I am Chen Wenlan, the Empress of Great Qi!"

What the...... Is she Empress Wenlan? Isn't Empress Wenlan already ......

Suddenly, Qin Liusu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead.

It turned out to be just a dream, how strange! It's all because of the ghost stories that Thrush told me. Qin Liusu thought secretly in his heart.

Qin Liusu looked up at the window, and at this time, the dark clouds had dispersed, and the moonlight outside the window was like silver.

Qin Liusu carefully dressed and walked out of the window.

Although Qin Liusu made light achievements, he didn't dare to act too fast, after all, he was in the inner courtyard of this palace, and the masters were like clouds.

Arrived near the Dongzhao Palace, through the window to pity the Dongzhao Palace, it was still as bright as day, could it be that Chu Juechen hadn't fallen asleep yet? When he was hesitating whether to go in, he saw a dark shadow floating above the beam.

It's not good, there are assassins, Chu Juechen is in danger.

At this time, Qin Liusu used light skills to keep up with the black shadow. I saw that the figure entered the palace without any hindrance, and Qin Liusu followed him into the palace without any hindrance, thinking to himself where all Chu Juechen's guards had gone?

The dark figure entered the palace, and disappeared in a flash. I was in amazement, and I only heard a voice remember.

"I'm not a little daring, even my Dongzhao Palace dares to break in!" Chu Juechen smiled at Qin Liusu and said, "Xin Qi was seen by Liming and removed the guards, otherwise you would have returned to the West Heaven today." ”

It turned out that it wasn't Chu Juechen's incompetence, it turned out that he had already been exposed, and in his displeasure, Qin Liusu suddenly realized that he had let the assassins in, and suddenly said, "I just saw an assassin sneaking in, you have to be careful."

"Assassins?" Stunned for a moment, Chu Jiechen laughed and said, "Who are you looking at the assassin?" After speaking, his figure flashed to the side, and he saw a familiar figure, which was the eldest brother Qin Liumo.

At this moment, the queen's bedroom is also brightly lit, waiting for Chu Lian to bring another person into the palace.

Chu Lian went out of the palace overnight to meet an important figure in the Northern Desert, and he led a group of Northern Desert Deadpools to prepare to attack and assassinate Chu Juechen, he was the second prince of the Northern Desert.

Three years ago, Chu Juechen's opponent of the Northern Desert Wolf Army was this person.

"What is the second prince here for?" The queen got straight to the point and asked directly.

"Didn't the queen ask knowingly, what did I do, can the queen not know?" The second prince of the Northern Desert said very unhappily.

The queen knew that the second prince, who had been waiting for a long time, was stopped by Chu Lian when he saw such a good opportunity today, so he was naturally very unhappy.

"Is the second prince sure to kill Chu Juechen?"

"This ......," the second prince was speechless.

"Is this Chu Juechen an ordinary person, why did he suddenly withdraw his guards for no reason? I believe the second prince knows better than me! The queen said with a sinister smile.

"Then you say, when will I be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart?"

"The second prince doesn't have to worry too much, this palace has a plan to get rid of Chu Jiechen by the hands of others, what do you think?"

"What's the plan?"

"This plan is very long, but I still hope that the eldest prince and the second prince will help."

…………

In the Dongzhao Palace, Qin Liusu told Chu Jiechen and Qin Liusu what he saw in his dream. After hearing this, Chu Juechen's tears flowed unconsciously: "It seems that the queen mother is indeed a tragic cause of death, and she can't rest in peace under Jiuquan."

Qin Liusu and Qin Liumo didn't know how to comfort him.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?" Qin Liusu asked.

"I'm here this time because of Empress Wenlan's death." Qin Liusu said.

"Yes, I always thought that the cause of the queen mother's death was related to the queen, but there was no evidence, and I asked Brother Mo to help me investigate this matter this time." Chu Jiechen wiped his tears and said.

"That's right, Empress Wenlan's death is indeed related to the queen, and the queen's death was due to the secret technique of the Western Regions." Qin Liumo continued.

"The Secret Art of the Western Regions?" Chu Jiechen and Qin Liusu exclaimed.

"This secret technique of the Western Regions has been lost, but I don't know where the queen and others found this person and used this secret technique to kill Queen Wenlan."

"If the queen treats her subordinates better, I won't find a loophole to investigate, but the person who used the technique was killed by the queen after the fact, and the second person who talked to me also died mysteriously, so the clue will be short here. It's just that the killing method doesn't seem like the method of the people around the queen in my opinion, but more like the emperor's people......" Qin Liumo continued.

"You can't talk nonsense...... Chu Juechen said suspiciously.

"I'm not sure, but the technique is really clever, it's just a guess, because only the people around the emperor can do it."

"Now that the clue is broken, it's better to be cautious about these things." Chu Jiechen was very confused now, "Brother Mo should go back this morning, and at this time, we have to think about it in the long run." ”

It was getting darker and darker outside the palace, and it was the darkness before dawn.

Qin Liusu said goodbye to the two of them and went back to Chaoyang Palace.

In the room, Qin Liusu looked at the official uniform in a daze, he was going to serve in the Waiter Department tomorrow, I don't know what would happen, he encountered so many things on the first day he entered the palace, it was really annoying. She now misses the carefree and happy past of traveling more and more. I don't know how my sister is now, and I don't know what happens to those people I just met when I traveled.

On the second day, the sun shone exactly in the Chaoyang Palace, and the location of the Chaoyang Palace was really the same as the name of the palace, and it was the first place for the entire palace to receive sunlight.

Qin Liusu opened his worried eyes and immediately came to his senses. Today is my first day on the job, so I can't be late.
