Chapter 010: Farewell in the middle of the night

readx;? Faced with Ning Lan's menacing attitude, Lu Yingquan didn't say anything after all, she took a deep look at Ning Lan, and then turned around and walked out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ning Lan glanced at the little mute who lowered her head to eat, but saw that this palace maid did not move at all, no matter what she and Lu Yingquan quarreled with, there was no reaction, so she snorted coldly and left with Lu Yingquan.

After a long time, Yun Yao felt a cool breeze blowing from outside the door, she raised her head, looked at the door, and found that Ning Lan did not close the door when she went out, she got up and put down the food in her hand, walked to the door, closed the door, and made sure that there was no leakage, before she came back and continued to eat.

Yun Yao knew in her heart that Ning Lan was someone who had to be guarded against, because Ning Lan was different from Yingquan.

Ning Lan is loyal to the Queen Mother, whether she is willing or not, the Queen Mother is her savior, for this kindness, for the opportunity for her to continue to live in this world, she must obey the Queen Mother's words.

Therefore, Yingquan has a lot of things that he is unwilling to discuss with Ning Lan, because Ning Lan will only do bad things and will not help Ying Quan.

What she has to do now is to secretly find out what method Ning Lan used to contact the Queen Mother, only when she knows the method and gets rid of Ning Lan, can she pretend to be Ning Lan and communicate with the capital.

Just as she was finishing her meal and pondering, the window of her room was suddenly blown open by the wind, and a dark shadow came in from outside, and soon stood in front of her.

The familiar aura made Yun Yao quickly raise her head, look at the person who came in surprise, and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

"Shhhh Gu Qingming didn't care about Yun Yao's dirty clothes, didn't care about the embarrassing blue spots on her face, hugged her waist, and flew out.

Yiwang Palace is not like Ning Palace, although Gu Qingming is not familiar with it, but he can also skillfully avoid all the night guard guards, maybe because of the year-end relationship, all the guards are a little lazy, probably I didn't expect that someone would hang around at this time, after all, it is all for the New Year.

Gu Qingming hugged Yun Yao tightly, wrapped her in a wide cloak, so that the cold wind could not blow her, and then took her to an abandoned palace next to Linglong Pavilion, which should be the cold palace in King Yi's palace.

I also have to thank Empress Dowager Jiang for arranging Lu Yingquan in Linglong Pavilion, such a remote location, very close to the Cold Palace, so it is more convenient to take it out.

When they arrived at the ruined palace, the two walked in, the broken walls and ruins looked very eerie and terrifying, but with Gu Qingming by his side, Yun Yao felt very relieved.

Walking into the hall, the cold wind outside was suddenly isolated and warmed a lot.

Gu Qingming took out a fire fold from his sleeve and lit the candles in the ruined palace, making the hall much brighter. He turned around, looked at Yun Yao, and said:

"I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing in Linglong Pavilion?"

"I'm fine. Yun Yao nodded, "Linglong Pavilion is a remote place, isolated from the outside world, Yingquan has the intention of low-key restraint, but it is also very comfortable." ”

"That's good. When Gu Qingming heard Yun Yao say this, he was relieved.

"By the way, why did you suddenly think of coming to me?" Yun Yao asked, "Have you finished discussing the matter with His Royal Highness King Yi?"

"It has been negotiated and a concrete plan has been made. Gu Qingming nodded and said, "So I'm looking for you today, in fact, I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

"Resign?" Yun Yao was taken aback, "Are you going back to Beijing?"

"From Yiguo to the capital, it takes about half a month, I have been delayed outside for too long, even if I go to the southwest border, I should be on the way back to Beijing now. Gu Qingming said, "Since I can't make the Queen Mother suspicious, I can only leave." ”

Yun Yao looked at Gu Qingming, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, she actually wanted to stay with Gu Qingming, but she knew that now was not the time, she couldn't be so selfish until Gu Qingming's task was completed.

"That'...... You take care all the way. Yun Yao finally spoke.

"Don't worry, I will. Gu Qingming held Yun Yao's shoulder and said, "I will leave Gu Chen here and protect you secretly as before." Yiwang Palace is no better than Ning Palace, the harem here is far more complicated than Ning Palace, you should be careful in everything. ”

"It's okay with me, let's let Gu Chen go back to Beijing with you, I'm more or less relieved that he is by your side. Yun Yao said.

"Don't refuse, with him here, I can go back with peace of mind. Gu Qingming said, "What's more, there are Gu Yan in Jingzhong, and there are other brothers, and there is no shortage of people around me." ”

Yun Yao knew that she couldn't resist Gu Qingming, even if she refused, Gu Qingming could let Gu Chen stay in the dark and not let her know, so she didn't say anything more.

"When are you leaving?" Yun Yao asked after a moment's thought.

"Tomorrow morning, we will leave before dawn. Gu Qingming's voice also revealed a slight reluctance, "But don't worry, since the emperor has decided to cooperate with His Royal Highness King Yi, then I will have more opportunities to come to Yiguo, because apart from me, the emperor doesn't believe in anyone else." ”

"Well, then I'll be here, waiting for you to come back next time. Yun Yao said this, with a faint smile on her face, but there was reluctance in her smile, but because of the blue spots on her face, Gu Qingming didn't see it.

The two hugged each other tightly in this hall, Yun Yao put her face on Gu Qingming's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, she felt very warm and happy.

They are connected by blood because of the poison of the seven-day entanglement, and they fell off the cliff because of Mount Kongo, and they lived and died together.

Therefore, Yun Yao believes that the separation is only temporary, and when the dust finally settles on this game about the court, whether they live or die, they will be together.

The night is getting deeper, and the palace banquet in King Yi's palace is coming to an end, King Yi is still in the same voice, hugging a few beauties towards the Hall of Light, his steps are vain, and he seems to be drunk.

Whoever looks at this appearance will not think that he will be a very clever emperor, nor will anyone think that he can become a great weapon, but this is all for the world to see.

"It's not too early, I still have to pack some things and send you back to Linglong Pavilion first." After a long time, Gu Qingming's voice came from the waste palace and said so.

Yun Yao nodded reluctantly, and let Gu Qingming wrap himself in the cloak again, and rose into the air, his body was incredibly fast, and he soon arrived at Linglong Pavilion and sent him back to her room.

"I'm leaving. Gu Qingming finally imprinted a kiss on Yun Yao's head and whispered.

"General, take care. Yun Yao only spit out these four words, and then looked at Gu Qingming's figure and disappeared into his room.

She seemed to still hold his clothes in her hands, and the soft and warm cloak seemed to remain in her palms, but when she opened her palms, a cool breeze blew, and everything was gone.

However, Yun Yao knew that Gu Chen was hiding in a dark place in Linglong Pavilion, protecting her, so she was not afraid.

Yun Yao carried a wooden bucket to the kitchen, scooped up some hot water, mentioned her room, then locked the doors and windows, poured the hot water into the basin and washed her face.

Her face was nothing more than the juice of plants, washed with water and then washed off, and soon returned to her original appearance, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, stretched out her hand and stroked her face, with a trace of sadness in her eyes.

After washing her face, she took a hot bath to warm herself up and down, and then she applied the juice on her face again and became an ugly girl.

After doing all this, it was already late, and she estimated the time, it should be around midnight. She lay on her bed, thinking about what to do next.

Yun Yao closed her eyes, combed through everything, and came to two conclusions.

First, in order to help the emperor and His Royal Highness King Yi conceal the situation of Yiguo and hide the queen mother, she must get rid of Ning Lan, the real eyeliner, as soon as possible, so as to facilitate Lu Yingquan's actions.

Second, in order to make the Queen Mother believe that Lu Yingquan was sincerely seeking information, Lu Yingquan had to pass the news to the capital every once in a while to confuse the public. Of course, the message must be false, or half true.

So...... The top priority now is to solve Ning Lan first. But there is a prerequisite for solving Ning Lan, that is, she has mastered the method of Ning Lan and the Queen Mother to contact her alone.

How do you expose this method?

Yun Yao kept thinking about it, and all kinds of thoughts appeared in her mind, and every time they popped up, she was denied by herself. After all, Ning Lan is not a stupid person, and with so many Empress Dowager Jiang's eyeliner staring at her in Yiwang's palace, she has to be careful in her actions.

In addition, she didn't know if there was anyone else in this Yi Palace, who was the eyes and ears of the Empress Dowager Qin, so she had to be careful.

I don't know how long it took, Yun Yao fell asleep slowly, she didn't know if she had thought of a way, but she didn't sleep very peacefully, and she didn't know if she was worried about the current situation, or if she was thinking about Gu Qingming.

It didn't seem to be long before she woke up and looked at the sky outside, it should be when the sky was bright, she remembered what Gu Qingming said last night, at this time, he should have gone out of the palace, if it was fast, he must have left the city and left this place.

With a sigh, Yun Yao lay back on the bed, closed her eyes, and wanted to get some sleep.

In Linglong Pavilion, the most free place is to be able to sleep well. Lu Yingquan asked her to clean the inner hall and dormitory only once every three days, which means that every time she misses, she has two days to rest. Coupled with her ugliness, no one comes to disturb her, and she can enjoy her space very quietly.

In a daze, she fell asleep again. The quilt that had been covered all night was so warm that Yun Yao was reluctant to get up, and no one came to call her anyway, so she simply slept until dawn.

What she didn't know was that the news that she was still alive had spread from the bottom of the cliff of King Kong Mountain to Ning Palace, in front of Empress Dowager Qin.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, General Qin entered the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and by the way, he brought the news that the Queen Mother wanted to know most.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Weichen has sent someone to the bottom of the cliff to confirm that Yun Yao is indeed alive, but now her whereabouts are unknown and she doesn't know where to go. Qin Yuankai arched his hand and said so.

"Is it really alive?" the Queen Mother asked, "Tell me, what was found at the bottom of the cliff, and how to prove that Yun Yao is still alive." ”
