Chapter Twenty-Eight: Seeking Truth and Knowledge
On the third day of the first month of March, the Queen Mother set off to Qingquan Temple to pray for the country, with only the number of names in the palace and no concubines to accompany her.
Everyone in the harem went to the palace gate to see them off, and Emperor Xuanyuan also left.
Liang Yue stood behind the Queen Mother, listening to the Queen Mother's advice to Emperor Mingxuan, but she couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in her heart. Soon she will be able to leave the palace, she has not smelled the air of freedom in a long, long time. Although it was only temporary, the blood all over her body was boiling, and her fingertips were trembling a little.
"Cool Moon... Cool Moon? ”
A few calls brought her back to her senses, and when she looked up, she found that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were looking at her. Liang Yue bent her knees: "The slave should die, what does the Queen Mother command?" ”
Xuanyuan Zili's face was not very good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "Such a sloppy person doesn't know if he can serve a good queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother smiled, looked at Liang Yue and said, "Don't be nervous, the mourning family just looks at your face is not very good." Let's get in the car first. ”
"Yes." Liang Yue saluted in a very good mood, and got into the carriage behind under the jealous eyes of the concubines.
Her freedom, her rivers and lakes, can finally go back.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother." A neat sound sounded outside, and in a few moments the carriage began to move.
However, gradually walking farther, the curvature of the corners of Liangyue's mouth began to disappear. The other palace people in the car began to whisper about what the days of Qingquan Temple would be, but she couldn't help but want to turn back.
There was a window behind the carriage with a curtain, and Liang Yue hesitated, turned around and scooped up the curtain to look back.
The red majestic palace wall, a group of red and willow green concubines, and the man in a dragon robe standing in the front, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the direction of the convoy. Due to the distance, Liang Yue couldn't see his face clearly, and only felt that the person's momentum was overwhelming, standing among the chickens, but there was a faint low breath, and his eyes were looking in their direction deeply.
Hallucination, she shook her head, lowered the curtains, and began to wait for the convoy to reach the city gates.
After reporting to the Queen Mother, when she arrived at the city gate, she took the opportunity to leave, changed into the clothes of the former civilian, and did what she had to do. Qingquan Temple is in Foshan, far from Kyoto, so she doesn't have to go.
The convoy walked slowly, and it was half an hour before it reached the city gates. The Queen Mother shouted to stop, and then ordered a few palace maids to buy something. Cool Moon is naturally among them.
When leaving, Liang Yue glanced at the queen mother's carriage and saluted silently. Although she couldn't see it anymore, she was really grateful to the Queen Mother for helping her like this.
There were already palace maids waiting in the shop on the side, and when Liang Yue entered, she came out and followed a group of palace people back to the carriage, taking Liang Yue's place, and went on the road with the convoy.
When the convoy was far away, Liang Yue, who was dressed in plain clothes, came out of the store.
It's been a long time since I've been so happy.
Liang Yue looked at the plain dress on her body that was not gorgeous but very comfortable, couldn't help but smile, clenched the long sword in her hand, and slowly walked towards the crowd.
She had fifteen days, and she had to find a place to stay first.
Prime Minister Mo said that he would tell her something, and then she would have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion later. I hope Prime Minister Mo can really tell her some useful news, and if she wants to investigate, she must at least have a direction.
After taking a few steps, Liang Yue stopped, looked stunned, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
Someone was stalking her.
The killer's intuition is very sensitive, and he can't imagine that he will be targeted as soon as he changes his clothes, who will it be?
The pace was a little faster, and there happened to be an alley in front of him, the corners of Liangyue's lips hooked slightly, and her figure flashed and entered the alley.
The footsteps behind him slowly approached, Liang Yue leaned against the wall, the sword in his hand slowly unsheathed, just waiting for the person to come, first restrain it.
The breath gradually approached, Liang Yue's eyes were cold, and the sword came out of its sheath and quickly pressed against the throat of the visitor.
"Ahh Stop, stop, it's me! Bu Yao looked at the sword blade that was close at hand, swallowed his saliva, and his eyes widened: "Why don't you even look at the sword?" ”
Liang Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and she withdrew her sword and looked at Bu Yao: "What are you doing with me?" ”
Bu Yao shrugged: "I've been waiting for you at the city gate, so I guess you won't leave the capital." How's that, remember owing me a duel? ”
Liang Yue couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Can you not always worry about competing with me?" Don't you know what I need right now? ”
I really don't know what to say about him, he doesn't care about anything except martial arts all day, right? I'm still waiting for her at the city gate!
Bu Yao pursed his lips, looked Liang Yue up and down, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "It still looks pleasing to the eye, you look more energetic in wearing this, not as soft as those palace clothes." ”
"Because, that's my original attire." Liang Yue shook her head: "Let's go, if you're okay, don't follow me, when I take care of things, I will naturally fulfill my agreement with you." ”
Bu Yao put away the joking look, frowned, and said, "Half a month, where are you going to live?" ”
"The inn." Liang Yue didn't bother to raise her eyelids, so she put away her sword and walked out. Bu Yao hurriedly followed, and said in a loud voice: "What's so good about the inn?" Go and live in my house, it doesn't cost anything! ”
Liang Yue was stunned and glanced at Bu Yao strangely: "Why are you so affectionate?" ”
Bu Yao rolled his eyes: "This is for your good, where is it called affection?" Living outside is inevitably inconvenient to meet people who knew you before, isn't it? Although my house is not very good, no one cares about it, and you are still free. Don't worry, only I won't harm you, if you die, who will accompany me to practice martial arts? ”
Liang Yue thought about it, it seemed to make sense, hesitated for a while, and then nodded, "Okay." ”
Bu Yao is happy, Liang Yue is willing to live in his house, it is really rare. He had to go back and check the room, preferably if he could sneak attack in the middle of the night, assassinate her or something, and he could also fight with her by the way, wouldn't he make money?
The simple martial idiot Lord Bu excitedly took Liangyue all the way to her mansion, but forgot that he was not the only one who was thinking about her, and there was another person in the palace, listening to her news silently. Bu Yao's life is destined to pay the price for his obsession with martial arts.
"What did you say?" Emperor Mingxuan glared at the dark guard in front of him, his face was obviously angry, and the book in his hand was pinched and slightly deformed.
"As soon as Miss Liangyue left the convoy, Master Bu appeared, and it seemed that Miss Liangyue was going to live in Bufu." The Dark Guard replied tremblingly.
"Poof, it's really..."Dugu Chen on the side was happy: "This fool really doesn't want to do anything, anyone dares to bring it home." ”
Xuanyuan Zili glanced at Duguchen coldly, and the latter immediately smiled and coughed dryly: "The minister will go to Bufu tomorrow to express His Majesty's condemnation of Lord Bu." ”
Bu Yao should be condemned, but isn't it the woman who should be condemned even more? Well? You can really live anywhere, and you can live in someone else's house. And there is only him and a group of slaves in the Buyao Mansion, and she doesn't know how to avoid suspicion!
Emperor Mingxuan snorted coldly and waved away the dark guard, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what she does, all I want is the result." ”
Fifteen days passed, and she only had a month and a half left, and he wanted to see what kind of expression she was going to face him if she couldn't find out!
Bu Yao's mansion really looks like a martial artist's mansion, and the most decoration is a sword.
Liang Yue looked at the room in front of her, nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Bu, I put my luggage here, now I have something to do, and I'll come back in the evening." ”
Bu Yao nodded in a good mood: "I'll let people clean up again, you can go." ”
Liang Yue arched her hand, looked at the sky, and began to go out to check the route.
She hadn't been to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she knew the general direction. After walking a little to the west and crossing a few bridges, you can see a palatial mansion.
Prime Minister Mo Zhiyuan, an important minister of the two dynasties, was corrupt and corrupt, and often opposed Xuanyuanzi. Looking at this mansion, Liang Yue shook her head.
If she hadn't seen Mo Zhiyuan, she would definitely think that he was a national moth and a big traitor like ordinary people. Just looking at this mansion, it is really not a clean official.
There were fewer people in this area, and Liang Yue didn't bother to enter through the front door, so she directly found a wall and climbed in. This flip is really in the right place.
Mo Zhiyuan was playing chess in his garden, playing with his left hand and right hand, and was playing happily, when he saw a person flying down from the wall, just not far in front of him.
With a shake of his hand, Bai Zi fell down and disrupted the chess game, Prime Minister Mo opened his mouth wide in fright, and looked at Gu Liangyue in a daze.
"Sorry to scare you." Liang Yue stepped forward, looked at Mo Zhiyuan's frightened eyes, and blessed her body with a slight apology.
Prime Minister Mo's beard trembled, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Girl, the old man is old and can't stand the fright, can't you come in through the front door?" ”
Liang Yue raised her eyebrows: "If you are at the main gate, you will be interrogated by your porter for a long time." You are the prime minister, and it is not easy for ordinary people to see you. ”
Mo Zhiyuan was silent, stroked his beard approvingly, and calmed down: "Did you come to ask the old man for the truth?" ”
Liang Yue nodded: "You said you would tell me what I want to know." ”
Prime Minister Mo Cheng straightened his expression, looked around, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Does the girl want to know about the revelation of the third prince?" ”
"Nature."
Looking at Prime Minister Mo's serious expression, Liang Yue's heart tightened. Mo Zhiyuan is the prime minister of the former emperor, and he is also considered to be above ten thousand people under one person in the apocalypse. What kind of facts make him nervous too?
"The old man has heard about the bet between you and Your Majesty." Prime Minister Mo lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity, Miss Liangyue, you are destined not to win." ”
"Why?" Liang Yue was startled and looked at Prime Minister Mo suspiciously.
"Because the person behind that incident is a figure I can't touch, let alone you. Don't say three months, if you want to bring him to justice, three years is too short. You can't do it. ”
Liang Yue looked at Prime Minister Mo in surprise, and something flashed in her mind: "Can you explain it clearly?" ”
Mo Zhiyuan sighed, looked at the scattered chess game in front of him, and said softly: "Do you know why over the years, the old man has been against His Majesty everywhere, and he has the posture of a traitorous minister? ”
Liang Yue shook her head in a daze.
"Because, the biggest crisis of the apocalypse has been lurking in the shadows. I can't touch him, and I can't alert Your Majesty. Only by hindering that man's pace can he delay time and allow His Majesty to have enough strength to fight against him earlier. Prime Minister Mo raised his head, looked at Liang Yue seriously and said, "Girl, do you remember the woman that Your Majesty loves deeply?" ”
How can you not remember, Liang Yue smiled bitterly: "Do you mean, the girl Ning in their mouths?" ”
