Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Storm is Coming

In the Muhua Palace, suddenly hearing the sound of the teacup bursting, Wang Miao was angry and pointed at Tao Xuanju and scolded: "Tao Xuanju, Tao Xuanju, you have been crawling in the rivers and lakes for decades, and you have been calling for wind and rain between the government and the opposition for decades, so you can be regarded as a well-known character, how can you be made into this virtue by a group of stinky children?" ”

Tao Xuanju lowered his head, his face was cut open by the fragments of the teacup, and replied: "The state lord forgives the sin!" This time, my subordinates were about to succeed, but I didn't expect Holly to suddenly appear, my skills are not as good as others, not to mention that the other party is overwhelming, so I had to flee and choose the right time. ”

Wang Miao sneered, "You lost Holly once, so you are so afraid of him, where is there still a bit of the blood of a martial arts practitioner?" Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, it shouldn't be you Tao Xuanju! I have to wonder if you've turned against you......"

Tao Xuanju kowtowed and said, "The state lord Mingjian! His subordinates have been following the state lord since he left the gang, and he has been loyal for many years. It's just that this holly came with a kind of poison that his subordinates had never seen before, and all the officers and soldiers were poisoned by him at that time, which caused me to fight alone and was forced to evacuate. ”

"Oh? It seems that Holly has not been idle all these years, and Xu has researched some new poison techniques. What about the others, do you have any news? ”

"As the state lord expected, Wei Yun, the prince of Qindu, was indeed involved, and he may have formed an alliance with them. The people who escorted them out of the city this time, in addition to the mysterious man before, there were also several brave and skilled soldiers, and when it was close to night, the scouts saw Wei Yun and a man hurrying out of the city, and I also seemed to see a person who looked like Wei Yun during the fight. ”

Wang Miao paced thoughtfully and ordered, "Keep an eye on Wei Yun for me, don't let him act rashly." Then send someone to chase Holly and his party, and this time they will be a good opportunity to catch them all, and maybe they can find those people who are hiding. In addition, you have to pay attention to whether there are secret agents in Jinyun City, so that the news cannot be transmitted to Yudu. By the way, I have to warn you, if you disappoint me again, bring your head! ”

"The subordinates understand, so let's arrange it." Tao Xuanju retreated.

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Yun and his subordinates returned to Jinyun City together, and Holly and his party continued to Anxiang under the guise of a family who had gone out to seek medical treatment.

"Let's take the official road, and don't detour if we pass by the county seat." Holly said.

"Isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? If you are found in the county, you can't escape. Xiyan asked puzzled.

Holly sneered and replied: "Now Wang Miao must have set up ambushes on various trails, thinking that we dare not take the official road, since this is the case, we prefer to be like this, Zhengda Guangming will go from the official road, after all, how can ordinary people not take the good official road but take the path that turns around?" At that time, if we encounter interrogation, we will be more clever, and I will take the prepared poison, and my whole body will be red and swollen, saying that it will be contagious, so I will rush to seek medical treatment, and those officers and soldiers will certainly not be entangled with us again. So the people went all the way along the official road.

Here, Qingke has been hiding in Jinyun City waiting for an opportunity, and she heard that two days is the birthday of Wang Miao's favorite concubine, Mrs. Yu, and Wang Miao is going to hold a feast for her in the harem.

Qingke planned to blend in while the guests were in the clouds, and the Imperial Flower Terrace was also very busy because of this matter, and it was necessary to prepare the most delicate flowers of the season that day, and decorate the entire harem beautifully.

Shi Jing Yu also followed Yuhuatai to prepare for this matter, and he never had a chance to find out the news of Qingke, so he asked Yuanzhi to inform Wei Yun and help her pay attention.

On this day, Wen Yeting and Wei Yun were discussing this matter in the room, and Yuan Zhi hurriedly ran in and said, "Master Wei, Miss Shi wants to trouble you to send someone to inquire about the news of Mrs. Qingke." ”

"Brother Wen has informed me of this, and I have asked my subordinates to secretly investigate everywhere. But Yuanzhi, who is Miss Shi? ”

"Oh, oh, the girl among the flowers is showing people in the name of the stone path in the royal flower platform, I am used to shouting."

"Stone Path?" Wen Yeting read to himself again.

Yuanzhi continued, "Then I'll go back, recently the Imperial Flower Terrace is preparing the flowers for Lady Jade's birthday, we are simply wearing stars and moons." I don't know what's going on with this Jade Lady, she originally said that she didn't want to make a big deal this year, but it turned out that she was so excited at the end. Don't say it, if this pampered concubine is on a whim, she has to be satisfied no matter what, but it really responds to the sentence that when the concubine laughs on the red dust, something will come......"

Wen Yeting shook his head and said helplessly: "No one knows that it is Lychee!" Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi, when you go back, I will let you lock up in your room and read a few more books, otherwise others will think that I am harsh on you all day long, and ask you to do this and that to delay your due learning. ”

Yuanyi's face was bitter, "Oh, boy, when I see that dense little characters, my head is big, like an ant trying to get into my head, and I scratch my ears and cheeks, calling the sky and grabbing the ground, you can spare me." I won't talk to you more, Childe, how is your injury? Miss Shi, oh no, Miss Hanama said let me stop by to see how you are recovering. ”

"It's so good that she doesn't have to worry. Go back quickly, and report if there is any news. Wen Yeting replied softly.

After Yuanzhi left, Wen Yeting suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked Wei Yun: "Eh, when did Yuanzhi just say that Lady Yu's birthday came?" ”

"The day after tomorrow, Wang Miao also sent me an invitation, so I must go when I arrive." Wei Yun replied in a trance while playing with the jade ornaments on his body.

Wen Yeting pondered for a while, "You said that this Jade Lady is so favored, there will be an endless stream of people who come to congratulate her birthday at that time, will Mrs. Qingke ......?"

Wei Yun was shocked and agreed: "Yes, if she wants to assassinate, she will find a way to sneak into Muhua Palace, but Muhua Palace is heavily guarded on weekdays, isn't it so easy to break in?" But if there is a happy event in the palace, then the people who come here are bustling, and who can tell the difference? ”

Wen Yeting continued: "Then we have to find a way to stop her in front, I will go to the Imperial Flower Terrace tonight and ask the cause and effect of this matter in the flower room." Originally, I felt strange that Mrs. Qingke didn't leave the city together, but I didn't expect that she wanted to stay in Jinyun City and take a risk. ”

On the moon on the high-rise building, Wen Yeting sneaked into the Yuhuatai, hiding behind the majestic rockery, quietly waiting for the arrival of the flowers.

With a stick of incense, Wen Yeting saw that she was dragging her tired steps towards the dormitory in the distance, so she threw a small stone in front of her.

When she heard the sound, she immediately became alert, looked up, Wen Yeting poked her head out from behind the rockery, and whispered, "Cai Cai, it's me." ”

She took three steps and made two steps, quickly walked to the rockery, and saw Wen Yeting wearing a night coat, looking at her with a smile.

"Hey, you're really not afraid of death, why are you here in the middle of the night?" She whispered a little nervously to the other party.

Wen Yeting pulled her to the depths of the rockery, and replied: "It's not like I haven't seen her for a few days, I'll report to you." ”

"Be serious, how is the injury, does it still hurt?" She asked.

"That little injury is long gone. Today, Yuanzhi said that your entire Yuhuatai is preparing for Madame Yu's birthday, and when I talked to Wei Yun about this matter, I thought about whether it was possible for Madame Qingke to take this opportunity to sneak into Muhua Palace to assassinate. So I wanted to check it out, because she was alone when she left, and she didn't tell us where she was going, so we couldn't ask. Wen Yeting rubbed her shoulder and replied.

Her body trembled, dodging Wen Yeting's hand, "The letter left for me at that time only said that Aunt Qingke would assassinate Wang Miao by herself, but did not disclose her whereabouts and specific plans. But Aunt Qingke is not reckless, but ...... It's because she was poisoned after she was arrested, and she didn't want to drag us down, let alone die for no reason. That's why Aunt Yuming gave her a confinement needle to inhibit the spread of toxins in her body, but the needle also blocked the heart pulse, so it could only last for half a month at most, and the person would die as soon as the deadline arrived. ”

Wen Yeting was stunned for a moment, and stammered back: "I see, I said that Madame should not be the kind of person who is willful, but I didn't expect her to be so loyal and unyielding." ”

"But Holly's predecessors thought that if she fell into the hands of Wang Miao, she would definitely be tortured to death, so even if she was dying, she didn't want her to be in a different place. That's why we have to find a way to stop it, but I've been trapped in the Imperial Flower Terrace all day, and I'm really overwhelmed. ”

After saying that, her face was already gloomy, and Wen Yeting comforted: "But if Mrs. has made up her mind, it is estimated that she will not be able to turn around, you should understand her heart." ”

She sighed deeply, "It is precisely because I know that she has always been stubborn, that I feel a sense of helplessness that cannot be relieved of ......"

Wen Yeting knew her worries, and said with concern: "Don't worry, Wei Yun and I will go at that time, and we will find a way to let Mrs. Qingke escape." Hello take a break, don't be so meticulous about this kind of thing, just ask Yuanzhi and let him share more for you. ”

She smiled: "You know all day long that he is a bully, and he is busier than me." ”

"Oh yes? Then I'm going to treat him well another day, after all, he has to deliver the news before and after the saddle, and he has to work hard in this Yuhuatai. ”

"You still have a little conscience. Let's go, I'll go back to the dormitory and rest. She said and glanced over to the dormitory to make sure there was no one on the road.

Wen Yeting nodded, and flew out of the Imperial Flower Terrace, she looked at his departing figure and fell into a trance, the lingering night in the distance was like a day dyed by ink, it seemed to be bright but not bright.

"It seems that the legendary war is coming." She said to herself, "I'll have to find a way to sneak into that feast and find out." ”

"Why?" Hanama was puzzled and asked shallowly.

"Regardless of whether Wang Miao dies this time, this catastrophe will come sooner or later. It's just that if Wang Miao dies at this time, the ownership of Shuzhou is the crux of the problem, then this war will come faster. If both can reach a consensus, it would be better to continue to let Wang Miao's descendants succeed to the throne. But at this time, the matter of breaking the intestines has come out, and the seeds of dissatisfaction will be planted in the hearts of the two capitals, and I don't think anyone will appoint a suspicious person again, as the monarch has always been. ”

After speaking, she lowered her head and sighed heavily, how could she not only let Wang Miao die, but also stop that tragic war?
