Chapter 51: The Dark Hole in the Treasury

When the female jailer saw me, she nodded, but she didn't come forward to talk to me because of the crowd.

The new leader of the guards still understood the rules, and spoke politely to our three spirit princesses, and first hugged his fists and saluted us before talking to us: "Princess Qi Yu Ji, Princess Condensation, Hanyan Girl, there were assassins in the dungeon last night, so I had to search the palaces today, for the sake of the safety of the princesses, I can only offend!"

The People's Emperor's Chao'an Palace is different from the Hesui Palace of the Peace Jade Emperor, the Hanyan girl in the Hesui Palace is deeply popular, whether it is the female officials or the Pingyu Emperor, they all praise her, so in the Yong'an Palace, Su Hanyan lived in the middle room, and everyone also looked at it.

In the eyes of the guards of Chao'an Palace, Sister Bai Rong and I were from higher backgrounds, and the Emperor of the People rewarded me with black Mucuna and Buddha Grass Aya, so I thought that the Emperor of the People valued me more.

We all know what the guards said, Condensation was a little impatient on the side, and said to the leader: "Search and rescue, hurry up, it's too cold to stand outside, I'm still waiting to go back to the room to warm up!"

The leader was not angry, and replied respectfully: "Yes!" With a wave of his hand, he ordered his subordinates to take the courtyard of our three daughters to inspect each of them.

At this time, Qiu An also came out of the room, and stood beside me, I looked at her, and she nodded to me steadily, and now I felt much more at ease.

Qiu An knew the female jailer and told her name in my ear - Panshan.

Aunt Panshan saw the shadow of Yunshu in the rain in a trance yesterday, so she followed the guards to search everywhere, and if she encountered a suspicious person, she would identify her.

According to the orientation of the courtyard of the Yong'an Palace, the guards first inspected the middle room, then the east room, and finally my west room.

Hanyan Girl and Condensation both took their men back to guide the guards, and to watch the guards not damage the objects in their courtyard.

Aunt Panshan stood still in the front yard, her eyes monitoring the movements of the guards and the people in each room.

Before it was my turn in the west room, I also stood in the front yard so as not to arouse the suspicion of everyone.

Seeing that there were fewer people around, Aunt Panshan came up to me and called me gently and respectfully, "Princess." ”

I stepped forward and took her hand, and also told her closely: "It's such a cold day, my aunt has worked hard!"

Qiu An and Panshan raised their eyes and smiled, but didn't say anything.

Panshan said to me helplessly: "The slave and maid are on an errand in this palace, what is said above, the slave and maid will do anything, how can we talk about what is hard or not." ”

"That assassin killed Condensation?" I said to Panshan with a question.

Aunt Panshan's eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion, but it quickly disappeared, glanced around, and found that no one was paying attention to us, so she looked at me reassuringly, and said softly: "The slave doesn't know either, but I just saw a man." ”

Speaking of this, Panshan still looked around uneasily, and after repeatedly confirming his safety, he said to me: "That man seems to be from the Demon Realm!"

I asked Panshan worriedly, "How is Princess Wuzhen?"

Panshan sighed faintly, and said a little unbearably: "Originally, Princess Wuzhen was just a little suspicious, but now the suspicion is a little heavier, and she is afraid that her life in the dungeon will not be better." ”

I was puzzled and looked at Panshan suspiciously, and Qiu'an also looked at Panshan with concern.

"The slave maid ordered someone to detain Wuzhen in the place where the princess used to stay, although there will be some backlash, but it is better, after such a fuss last night, if the assassin is caught, and something bad is interrogated, I am afraid that Princess Wuzhen will add another crime of colluding with the demons, even if the assassin is not caught, Princess Wuzhen will be sent to the depths of the dungeon, which is even more sad. ”

I was flustered for a while, but I didn't expect Yunshu's attempt to save people to harm Wu Zhen.

While speaking, the leader and the guards searched the middle room and the east room, but found nothing.

Panshan walked a few steps away, a little farther away from me, her status was on par with that of the chief, and there was no need to salute each other.

The chief told Panshan about the situation of the two rooms, and Panshan saluted me in front of everyone and said, "Please lead the way, and the slaves and maids and these guards can also go on errands." ”

I nodded, and Qiu An and Qiu An walked to my west courtyard, I just secretly told Qiu An that I said in front of everyone that she was infected with the wind and cold and went late, and Qiu An coughed a few times.

The guards went first to search in my room with Qiu An, Qiu An looked calm, and I also had confidence when I saw her like this.

Even if I had done this last night, I had put the Buddha grass and the black mulberry in a conspicuous place in the morning before I went to the autumn house, so that when the guards searched my room, they were very light, and I did not hear the sound of smashing things in the courtyard.

Qiu'an and Panshan both showed relieved smiles, and Aunt Panshan also said: "This group of guards has eyes." ”

The guards still came out without finding anything, Panshan saluted me, and led everyone to say: "That bothers the princess, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and I hope the princess will forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter. "The order given by the human emperor, I naturally won't take it to heart,

Panshan didn't say anything anymore, and led everyone out of my western courtyard in front.

"Slow!" the leader of the guards had just taken a few steps when he suddenly called out to everyone.

When the chief saw that everyone had stopped, he went straight to the inconspicuous treasury, and said to me neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The subordinates did not do their best just now, and did not search this treasury, if the princess does not mind, I will ask someone to go in and have a look, and make sure that the princess is not in danger before leaving." ”

The leader spoke so satisfactorily that he was not a simple person.

I was nervous, and I couldn't help but look at Qiu An, who was still not afraid on his face, and nodded at me firmly.

"Then please hurry up, chief!" I said to the guard.

With a decisive wave of his hand, the leader and four guards went into the small storehouse, in which many large chests were placed, and the guards saw at a glance, and went through the boxes one by one, and looked carefully at the corners of the storehouse, but still found nothing.

The guards came out one by one and told the leader the result, and the leader seemed to have expected this, and there was no disappointment on his face.

"Tell your lord, there's a dark hole here!" the last guard shouted to the leader before he came out.

Qiu An's face became flustered, but under the eyes of everyone, she immediately calmed down, her hand and I were holding it, I clearly felt that she was shaking, and her palms were sweating.

At this time, I guessed that Yun Shu must have been hidden in that dark hole by Qiu An, and I couldn't help but raise my throat.

The leader took one look at me and ordered his men to go into the cave and take a look.

Panshan noticed Qiu An's look in his eyes, and glanced at the two of us suspiciously.

With a "squeak", the guard opened the old door, and in an instant the storeroom was full of dust, and he ran out of the door and pounced on everyone.

Everyone frowned, fanning the dust in front of them with their hands, but their eyes were fixed on the inside of the storeroom, not blinking, for fear of missing something.

The few guards who went in saw nothing but old clothes in the dark hole.

The chief was a little disappointed, and he bowed to me apologetically, and led people out of my western court.

Although Aunt Panshan left together, she looked at me a little weirdly before leaving.

When there were only two people left in the courtyard, Qiu An and I was about to paralyze as soon as my legs were weak, Qiu An reached out to help me, but she was not much better, and she was also weak.

The two of us leaned against each other against the tree, and I scanned the yard and saw that the shadow of the green phoenix was gone.
