During this time, Dongyue's palace was always very quiet at night, and the concubines in the harem were obedient and afraid of death, and they all stayed in their own palaces honestly, and those who could not go out tried not to go out.

At first, there were still a few concubines who were not afraid of death and did not cooperate, these people were no better than the queen, and the corpse was already cold at this time, and those people in the harem saw it, even if they were not convinced, they could only hold back. Although the queen has no worries about her life for the time being, she is also very sad, and she has no strength to continue to resist after several tosses.

At this time, there was still a short time before Haishi, and Yun Moxi and Qian Chengyue were already in Qian Chengjue's bedroom. There are not many people here today, Yu Wenhan and Hua Wuru are not there, Qian Chengjue is still lying quietly on the wide dragon bed motionless, if it is not close to his body and can still feel his weak breathing, anyone at first glance will think that it is a corpse lying on the bed.

Except for Qian Chengjue, there are only two people in the huge palace, Wu Na'er and Jingya. At this time, Wu Na'er sat in front of a bronze mirror, and she was still very beautiful in the mirror, just like when she first entered the palace, without change. But only she and Jingya know that in the past two years, sixty percent of this peerless appearance has been supported by exquisite makeup, except for the makeup, she is far less than she was back then, and her pale and haggard demeanor looks more than ten years old in an instant.

She said that she didn't blame the Queen Mother for sending medicine every time she had sex with Qian Chengjue, because even if the Queen Mother didn't send it, she would drink it herself, so she obeyed the Queen Mother's wishes.

It is a medicine that is three parts poisonous, and if you drink it for many years, it will inevitably have side effects. What's more, the decoction carefully prepared by the imperial doctor will also be invalid, and she has been pregnant three times over the years, but only she and Jingya and a imperial doctor who was bought by herself knew about it.

Every time she knows that she is pregnant, she will choose to kill without hesitation, she will never give birth to a child for Qian Chengjue, she doesn't want to have anything to do with this man after the fact, she doesn't want to give birth to a new life for anyone other than him.

She's so ruthless.

Yun Moxi, who was hidden in the shadows, glanced at Qian Chengyue, and the two disappeared into this dormitory, and after a while, they reappeared in the upper study.

The black light in the study was blinding, the last time they came here was to save Shen Ling, and this time they came naturally for the talisman that could mobilize all the soldiers and horses of Dongyue.

As for why the two of them knew where the talisman was, it was naturally thanks to the eunuch Liang Gonggong, who had served Dongyue's three generations of monarchs.

The reason why Liang's father-in-law, who is already in the age of sixtieth, is unwilling to retire and why he still insists on serving in the palace, is naturally to repay his kindness. And the object of his gratitude is Qian Chengyue and Yun Moxi, in fact, Concubine Liang was kind to him when she was still alive, and after Concubine Liang died, this favor will naturally be repaid on Qian Chengyue's body.

As for why he owes Yun Moxi a favor? That was three years ago.

Concubine Liang and the first emperor died one after another, Qian Chengjue ascended the throne as emperor, and Qian Chengyue was forced to leave Yicheng and go to the fiefdom Wuyuan. At that time, Liang Gonggong was already sixty years old, and after Qian Chengjue ascended the throne, he thought that he was loyal and dedicated to serving the two emperors, and planned to let him enjoy his old age in peace. However, Liang's father-in-law asked Qian Chengjue to let him continue to stay by his side to serve, and Qian Chengjue hesitated again and again and finally agreed.

The purpose of Liang's father-in-law staying is to stay by Qian Chengjue's side and find out some useful information, hoping to help Qian Chengyue at a critical moment. He knew that Qian Chengjue had a grudge against Qian Chengyue, and he would definitely not be able to tolerate the other party, so he hoped to do his part.

Later, three years ago, Liang's grandson, his adopted son's son, fell seriously ill, and many doctors were helpless. Liang Gonggong, who received the family letter, left the palace in a hurry, and happened to meet Yun Moxi on the way, Yun Moxi knew about the matter between him and Concubine Liang, and after knowing that Liang's grandson was seriously ill, he planned to help him.

In the end, Liang's father-in-law's grandson's illness was really cured by Yun Moxi. Father-in-law Liang has been grateful to Yun Moxi since then, and will provide him with some news from time to time. And Qian Chengyue and Yun Moxi are cousins again, and they have a very good relationship, and the two kindnesses add up to make Liang's father-in-law even more grateful.

In fact, Yun Moxi and Qian Chengyue rarely needed to find out anything from Liang's father-in-law in the past, in their hearts, the other party was already old, and they should have been at the age of retirement, but they tried their best to stay by Qian Chengjue's side because of their gratitude. is the so-called companion is like a companion tiger, maybe one day if you don't pay attention, you will make Qian Chengjue unhappy and lose your life, the two have also persuaded each other that there is no need to be like this, but unfortunately Liang Gonggong always insists on his own ideas, Qian Chengyue once said that he is a stubborn old man.

Liang's father-in-law continued to serve as the chief eunuch, which was always a good thing for them, and Concubine Liang's palace maid Ah Zi was able to spend all these years safely thanks to his secret care on weekdays.

In addition, Liang Gonggong unexpectedly found the place where the talisman was placed, I really don't know if God favored Yun Moxi and Qian Chengyue, or was moved by their sincere heart of repaying their kindness, in short, this matter did save them a lot of trouble.

The talisman was hidden in the room where Shen Ling was originally held. When the two came to the entrance, Qian Chengyue said to Yun Moxi: "Just in case, I'll let you out the wind outside, you go and go back quickly." ”

Well, Yun Mo agreed with the other party's suggestion, turned around and entered the secret passage. After arriving at the dark room, Yun Moxi found that the decoration here was not quite the same as when he rescued Shen Ling at that time, and it should have been rearranged by Qian Chengjue.

recalled the secret letter sent by Liang's father-in-law, which said that Qian Chengjue entered the dark room with a brocade box containing a talisman, and the brocade box disappeared after he came out. And Qian Chengjue's time in and out of the dark room before and after is as long as a cup of tea, looking at this unobstructed room, if the other party does not need to stay here because of other things, the time for a cup of tea is actually quite long. Therefore, Yun Moxi suspected that there was a hidden space behind this dark room.

In fact, he had this kind of guess when he rescued Shen Ling last time, but at that time, the time was urgent, and he didn't investigate too much. Regardless of whether there is really a hidden space or not, at least the Dark Pavilion must exist, after all, there is nothing suitable for him to hide now, so he began to look for a switch.

It didn't take a moment, he moved everything that could be moved in the darkroom, but there was no sign of the mechanism being activated. He knocked on the stone bricks under his feet again and found nothing unusual, so he had to work on the surrounding walls.

After knocking on a few walls, it really found an anomaly, but this anomaly is a bit much, there are a total of nine walls with different sounds on the four walls, and they are distributed in different positions on the four walls, and there is no pattern at first glance.

Yun Moxi stretched out his hand and pressed a few unusual walls in turn, but he didn't find how to activate the mechanism, when he pressed the fourth piece, the wall suddenly moved, and then he heard the sound of the mechanism activating, and then countless arrows shot out.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and was not injured by the rain of arrows. There were a lot of arrows in this shower, and they roughly counted them and shot them six times. I don't know who designed the mechanism here, usually this kind of mechanism secret weapon is not uncommon, but it can be activated multiple times in a row, and there are even fewer of them.

The rain of arrows finally stopped, Yun Moxi picked one up and checked, but saw that the arrows were black, obviously coated with poison, judging from Qian Chengjue's character, this poison is very likely to be highly poisonous.

Throwing away the arrows, he didn't touch the rest of the wall, which was most likely hidden in the hidden weapon activation mechanism. In addition, while evading, he made an unexpected discovery when he observed the exit of the jet.

Stepping over the arrows all over the ground, Yun Moxi came to the wall against the exit of the dark passage, and looked up at the corner of the wall on the upper right, where there was a small hole the size of a small thumb nail, and there was something in the hole, but because the hole was too small, Yun Moxi couldn't really see it.

After looking at it for a while, I saw him take off the hairpin on the bun, wave his hand and throw it into the small hole in the corner of the wall, and in an instant the hairpin fell back into his hand and inserted it back into the bun.

As expected, the mechanism in the dark room began to turn. The first thing I saw was that the wall that had caused the rain of arrows slowly recovered, and the mechanism stopped rotating for a short time, and after a while, the sound of machinery turning in the dark room was heard again. This time, the anomalous walls began to sink and bulge in any way, and the number of times each brick changed was inconsistent.

Yun Moxi silently watched the changes on the wall, and he had to admire that the person who created this secret room was really one of the best people in the agency world. It's just that recalling the past, this palace has not been extensively repaired since he can remember, and after he created the secret pavilion, there was no relevant discovery in the process of secretly collecting the deeds of the palace, thinking that this dark room has existed for a long time, and it was deliberately erased.

Perhaps, this place was built at the same time as the secret passage out of the palace.

The sound of the mechanism turning stopped, and another step appeared in front of Yun Moxi, which was very dim, as if it was bottomless, but he still decided to go down to investigate, so he picked up a candlestick in the dark room and walked down.

Qian Chengyue was not idle when he was in the study, and all the corners of the room were rummaged through, but he didn't find anything valuable to him. So he sat down in a chair and put his hands on it, as if he were thinking and not thinking of anything.

In fact, he didn't think about anything, he just wanted to wait for Yun Moxi to get the talisman out of the palace with peace of mind, and then wait for the night of the Spring Festival to take down Yuwenhan and the others in one fell swoop.

However, has Mo Xi been in for a long time? Why hasn't it come out yet, shouldn't something happen? As soon as the thought in his heart swelled up, he immediately jumped up from his chair and walked in the direction of the dark passage. Fortunately, he was frightened, and when he walked to the dark room, he didn't see Yun Moxi coming from a staircase that was not there originally.

"I've got the stuff, let's go." Yun Moxi said to him.

Qian Chengyue glanced at Yun Moxi's back, but only saw that it was pitch black. "Let's go."
