Chapter 026: All or Nothing

readx;? There was another light snow last night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The yard, which had only been swept during the day, was covered with a thin layer of snow, endlessly.

Lu Yingquan casually threw the broom aside, sat on the steps at the entrance of the Fenglai Water Pavilion Palace, rested his elbows on his knees, supported his cheeks, tilted his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

On the third day, Wen Xia was still pretending to be crazy and stupid in the house, but Aunt Yue didn't mention Yun Yao at all, and she didn't know what happened to Yun Yao!

Lu Yingquan thought in his heart, his eyes inadvertently shifted, and he saw a long azure figure flashing behind the rockery not far away.

It's General Gu!

The man in this palace who can walk around so blatantly, apart from the emperor, is only Gu Qingming and General Gu!

Recognizing the back, Lu Yingquan immediately got up, picked up his skirt and trotted after him.

"General Gu, help-" Lu Yingquan's steps were small, and she saw that the back was about to disappear in front of her, and in a hurry, she shouted.

As if hearing someone asking for help from him, Gu Qingming turned around suspiciously, but saw a palace maid in azure clothes rushing towards him.

Gu Qingming stopped, waiting for the palace maid to pant and run in front of him and stand still.

"Miss Lu, what are you looking for me?" Gu Qingming saw the face of the person who came, and immediately recognized it, so he asked.

"Thank God, General Gu, you still recognize me!" Lu Yingquan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Qingming recognize him, "General Gu, I'm here to ask you for help!"

"Miss Lu is so dignified, how can she save her life?" Gu Qingming was puzzled.

"It's not me, it's Yun Yao! She was imprisoned in a water prison by Aunt Yue, and there has been no news for three days!" Lu Yingquan's words were hurried and fast, for fear that Gu Qingming, like those masters in the palace, would not give her a chance to speak.

But Lu Yingquan didn't notice that the moment the word "Yun Yao" came out of her mouth, Gu Qingming's pupils suddenly constricted, and it seemed to set off a monstrous wave.

"Who are you talking about?" As if he couldn't believe his ears, Gu Qingming asked again.

How could that smart and introverted girl have such an encounter?

In memory, she was always so shallow and calm, always so determined and persistent, no matter what happened, she was always able to skillfully dodge.

But she ...... Why did you end up in a water prison?

"Yun Yao, it's Yun Yao. Lu Yingquan emphasized it again before explaining, "Yun Yao once followed General Gu out of the palace to greet the queen's mother, presumably the military should not be a stranger." I was soft-spoken, weak, and there was no way, so I rashly stopped the general and asked the general to help Yun Yao. ā€

After speaking, Lu Yingquan knelt down towards Gu Qingming and made a gesture to kowtow to him.

"Never. Gu Qingming helped Lu Yingquan up, and then said, "After all, the Yeting Palace is a matter of the inner palace, and it is inconvenient for me as a foreign minister to interfere, you will explain to me in detail what happened, I want to find a way." ā€

"Thank you, General Gu!" As soon as Lu Yingquan heard that Gu Qingming was willing to help him, he suddenly felt that he had not found the wrong person, so he told the whole thing one by one.

After listening to this, Gu Qingming frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said: "In this way, you go back to work on an errand first, I will find a way to deal with Yun Yao's affairs." ā€

"That being the case, thank you General Gu. Lu Yingquan nodded heavily, and then ran away.

She had sneaked out to talk to Gu Qingming while she was on an errand, and if the housekeeper saw that she was not sweeping the snow in the wind and water, she would be punished again.

However, she was in a good mood today, even if she was punished, she would admit it, after all, she had found a noble person who could help Yun Yao! I hope this General Gu will not let her down, and he can really rescue Yun Yao.

It seems that he has a matter on his mind, and Lu Yingquan has worked a lot harder.

Gu Qingming said goodbye to Lu Yingquan and continued to move forward.

He was originally ordered by the Queen Mother to enter the palace to discuss with the emperor and the Queen Mother about Beidi's crime, but it was better to take this opportunity to tell Yun Yao about it.

He is not good at interfering in the affairs of the Ting Palace, but it does not mean that the Queen Mother can condone this kind of strange and chaotic thing in the palace.

In the Changming Palace, the emperor had already been waiting, he lowered his head, looked at the map of Daning Kingdom on the desk, and showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

"The last general will see the emperor. Gu Qingming clasped his fists and saluted Shen Ze.

"You're here, get flat. Shen Ze saw Gu Qingming and said casually, his attitude was very close.

"What is the emperor looking at?" Gu Qingming got up, took a few steps forward, came to Shen Ze's side, and asked.

"I'm watching...... Which of these seven feudal kingdoms is most likely to enter the capital. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Ze's mouth, and he said pointedly.

"Your Majesty, you can't say this. When Gu Qingming heard this, he was shocked, and he hurriedly looked at the door, and saw that there was no one else, so he put his mind at ease.

"Qingming, you know me, I didn't talk nonsense. Shen Ze snorted coldly and spoke again, "My father died suddenly, and my mother controlled the government for more than half a year, persecuting most of the harem concubines of the first emperor to death, and my brothers were also driven everywhere. Now that I am even single-handedly handling the major affairs of my marriage, I have to choose the daughter of the Qin family, and I am the puppet emperor, so I don't ...... it."

The more Shen Ze said that his heart became more and more depressed, and he grabbed the teacup on the desk and smashed it to the ground.

The teacup fell to the ground with a crunch and shattered into several pieces.

"What's so angry? Ze'er, you forgot how the queen mother taught you, as an emperor, you must be happy and angry, so as not to be easily seen through. At this moment, the voice of the Queen Mother Qin came from the door, with a slight reprimand.

The Queen Mother came dressed up, the gorgeous temple clothes were graceful and vivid in the walk, and the bead crown on her head was brilliant, revealing the majesty of the Queen Mother of Daning everywhere.

"Empress Dowager Qi, this matter is all the fault of the last general, and the last general should not talk about some sensational ghosts and gods in the palace, which will make the emperor unhappy. Gu Qingming saw that the queen mother had arrived, and the emperor just lacked an excuse to explain, so he took the initiative to salute and take the fault on himself.

"Oh?" Empress Dowager Qin glanced at Gu Qingming before asking, "What sensational, what ghosts and gods, the mourning family also wants to know." ā€

Shen Ze only glanced at Gu Qingming slightly, then didn't say anything, and let Gu Qingming mess around in front of the Queen Mother, after all, he really needed an excuse to lose his temper suddenly.

"Here's the thing, on the way to the palace, passing by the wind and water pavilion, I happened to hear a few palace maids sweeping snow saying that the palace was haunted. Gu Qingming pretended to say this inadvertently, "He also said that this ghost scared a palace maid crazy, what he said was mysterious, just like the truth." Seeing that the emperor was worried about what Beidi had committed, the last general wanted to tell the emperor about it as a joke, but he didn't expect the emperor to blame the end of the future. ā€

Gu Qingming said this skillfully, and did not mention the name of any palace maid in his words, but it really seemed like hearsay, leaving aside the suspicion that he deliberately helped, and quietly told the Empress Dowager about it, and also found an excuse for Shen Ze's anger, killing three birds with one stone.

"It's ridiculous, the mourning family has lived in this palace for most of their lives, and they have never seen a ghost. The Queen Mother sneered and said, "If this matter is closed in the palace itself, it would be fine, but it is still taken outside to chew the root of the tongue, demagoguery, and it is unforgivable." ā€

"The lesson of the queen mother is that Fang is the son who has lost his temper. Shen Ze listened to the Queen Mother's words and said, "Erchen will definitely start investigating this matter, and will never let such alarmist remarks deceive people." ā€

"The emperor's mind should be on political affairs, and such small things can be handled by Jinxiu. The Queen Mother hurriedly refuted the emperor's words, "Jinxiu, tomorrow you go to the Yeting Palace to see what is going on." ā€

"The slave obeys. Hearing this, Jinxiu bowed down.

In fact, Jinxiu also understood what the Queen Mother meant, since the queen and the emperor's wedding, Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan returned to the Yeting Palace, and there has been no news, and the queen mother must be worried in her heart.

But she didn't want to ask blatantly, lest others be suspicious and perceive something. Now it's just the right time to take this opportunity to go to the Ting Palace to see how those two girls are doing.

The affairs of the Yeting Palace passed by, and the Queen Mother listened to Shen Ze and Gu Qingming analyze the situation in Beidi and Daning to see how many chances there were.

When Gu Qingming came out of the Changming Palace, it was already dark, and after a stick of incense, the palace gate was about to be locked, he quickened his pace, but when he passed near the Yeting Palace, he glanced inside, and then hurried out of the palace gate.

It was a clear night, and there was no sign of snow.

A black shadow jumped in from the palace wall in the northwest, and after a few jumps, it disappeared into the vast night.

The water prison in the Yeting Palace is not tightly guarded, after all, there are not a few people here all year round, and most of the palace maids who made mistakes were either demoted to Langyue Pavilion or thrown directly to Yongxiang.

The shadow easily entered the water dungeon, holding a fire fold in his hand, and looked around in the faint light.

The water dungeon was empty, and there was no half figure in sight, until it reached the innermost, and the black shadow found the thin figure huddled in the corner.

It was probably extremely cold, Yun Yao's whole body shrunk together, a small lump, inexplicably distressing.

The dark shadow pulled a thin wire from his sleeve, unlocked the lock on the cell door, and dodged in.

Entering the cell, the black shadow lifted Yun Yao's body up from the ground, carefully probed her snort, and found that although it was weak, there was still a breath of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the black shadow straightened Yun Yao's body, then sat cross-legged behind her, used enough internal strength, put his hands on Yun Yao's back, and used his inner to drive away the cold in Yun Yao's body.

I don't know how long it took for Yun Yao's originally stiff limbs to gradually become conscious, and her eyelids also jumped slightly, as if she was about to open her eyes.

"Yun Yao, ......wake up," the black shadow whispered, gently patting Yun Yao's face with his hand.

The moment the palm touched the palm-sized face, a piercing chill hit him, causing the black shadow to frown involuntarily.

He didn't let go, but rubbed his palm against the pale face without a trace of blood.
