There was no one in the courtyard of Kunning Palace, only a circle of charcoal fire burning silently by the flower bed.

As Ye Qianhuai expected, under her order, none of the palace maids and eunuchs in Kunning Palace dared to disturb the emperor and empress's good night.

Ye Tianhuai held the short knife on her waist and took two deep breaths, the hardness of the handle and the cool air of late autumn made her sober for two points.

But she could feel that her breath was still hot, and her body seemed to have a stream of heat flowing down her abdomen, making her feel a strange comfort and unbearable.

Zhou Shouyi must be found as soon as possible.

Ye Tianhuai used this idea to forcibly suppress the terrible thoughts that were tumbling in his heart.

She lowered her head and walked towards the palace gate of Kunning Palace, but when she walked into the courtyard, a figure dressed in the uniform of the forbidden army suddenly came out of the shadow of the door.

The man walked over quickly to meet Ye Qianhuai, blocked Ye Qianhuai's way, and lowered his hand and asked, "What does Your Majesty need?" The villain will do it for His Majesty. ”

Ye Tianhuai subconsciously clenched the short knife on his waist, then raised his head and looked at the guard who was about her size, and then frowned.

Since Zhao Feiyan and Chen Julian entered the palace, Ye Qianhuai asked Zhao Yinshi to replace the guards of Kunning Palace and Yonghe Palace with people he could trust, most of these people were Zuo Yawei who rushed to kill with her when Chengtianmen Palace changed before, and they were all familiar faces to her.

But in front of her, she had no impression of this person.

Ye Tianhuai's expression turned cold, and he raised his head and asked, "Which palace are you from?" ”

She wanted to use her majesty to drink this person away, but as soon as the words came out, she herself was stunned.

Her voice turned into a woman's voice, and it was soft and glutinous, delicate and charming.

Not only was she stunned, but even the other party raised his head in surprise, looked at her in a daze, and said, "Your Majesty......"

This "Your Majesty" made Ye Qianhuai come back to his senses.

Her eyes sank, and almost at the same moment, a cold light bloomed from her bosom and flashed through the other's throat.

The guard only then touched his sword, but it was too late.

A slender trace of blood slowly spread from his throat, and immediately, hot blood sprayed on Ye Tianhuai's face.

"You ......" The other party slowly took two steps back, and as soon as he spoke, blood gushed out of his mouth, blocking the rest of his words.

From beginning to end, Ye Qianhuai watched him slowly fall to the ground with a strangely calm gaze.

She took one last look at the corpse, and was sure that he was dead, so she put the knife in its sheath, raised her hand and wiped the blood from her face with her sleeve, put on her hood, and walked out of the palace gate.

Kunning Palace is the closest to the emperor's Jingshou Palace among the six courtyards of the harem, and it can be reached by bypassing the two palace walls. But even if the emperor is not in Jingshou Palace, there will be at least a team of guards on duty and more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

With Ye Qianhuai's current appearance, he naturally can't appear in front of everyone in a grand manner.

But if she wants to walk from Kunning Palace to the Tai Hospital to find Zhou Shouyi, this road is too long, and she will definitely meet the guards guarding the palace.

Ye Tianhuai was thinking in his heart about who was available in the palace at this time, and walked slowly along the path along the palace wall to Jingshou Palace.

Just as she was thinking, a slender figure wearing the clothes of a palace maid suddenly turned out in the corner not far away.

Ye Tianhuai was shocked, the other party also saw her at this time, and when he saw her whereabouts, he immediately asked, "Who is it?" ”

Hearing the other party's voice, Ye Tianhuai's heart was relieved, it was Shen Guiyi.

She took two steps forward, stopped in front of the palace lamp by the wall, and took off her hood.

When Shen Guiyi saw Ye Qianhuai, he immediately changed his fierce and vicious appearance, and knelt down respectfully on the ground and said, "Slave and maid see Your Majesty." ”

Ye Tianhuai's figure paused slightly, then walked up to her and pulled her up from the ground.

"Why are you here?" Ye Tianhuai asked in a suppressed voice.

Rao is she speaks with her voice suppressed, and she can still hear that her voice is much softer than before. Shen Guiyi couldn't help but raise her head in surprise, and when she looked up, she saw the blood stains on Ye Tian's arms, and the blood and wine on the emperor's body rushed to her face, making her face change instantly.

"Your Majesty, you ......"

"I've been poisoned, and no one can know about it."

Her explanation was so reluctant that she fooled Shen Guiyi.

"Why are you here?" Ye Qianhuai asked again.

"The slave maid just came out of the Evening Snow Palace, and when Gu Haiwang woke up today, he said some nonsense, and the slave maid was about to go to Jingshou Palace to report to His Majesty."

Ye Tianhuai thought about it in his heart, from the Evening Snow Palace to the Jingshou Palace, this road is indeed the only way.

Only then did she let go of her grip on Shen Guiyi.

Seeing that Ye Qianhuai's mood was improving, Shen Guiyi asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you injured?" ”

Ye Tianhuai shook his head: "It's not my blood. ”

She didn't say much, it wasn't safe here.

Ye Qianhuai looked up and looked around, and soon found the target in a group of buildings with heavy ridges and high eaves.

Then she retracted her gaze, looked at Shen Guiyi very solemnly and asked, "Shen Guiyi, can I believe you?" ”

Shen Guiyi was seen by the emperor's gaze, and arched his hand: "The slave is Your Majesty's eagle guard, and she is willing to serve Your Majesty to the death." ”

Ye Tianhuai retracted his gaze and said, "Okay." I want to go to Yichun Palace, you help me explore the way, and if you run into people, find a way to lure them away quietly. ”

Shen Guiyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"After cleaning up the people on the road, go to Kunning Palace for me, there is a dead man in the courtyard, dispose of him so that no one can find out. Then go to the Tai Hospital to find a Tai Doctor named Zhou Shouyi and ask him to come to Yichun Palace to find me. Let him come alone and not be known by others, understand? ”

Shen Guiyi listened carefully and nodded vigorously.

"Go ahead." After Ye Qianhuai finished speaking, he patted her on the shoulder.

Shen Guiyi didn't think much about it, she walked quickly along the palace wall in the direction of Yichun Palace.

After she left, Ye Qianhuai waited for a while, put on his hood again, and went to Yichun Palace.

Yichun Palace is the former dormitory of Qin Baozhu, and it is the closest palace to the middle palace in the West Six Palaces. Since Qin Baozhu's death, Ye Qianhuai has sealed the palace and no longer let others set foot on it.

Now this situation is the best place to go.

Although the official road in the middle palace is very spacious, tonight is the Wanshou Festival, most of the guards in the harem have been transferred to the front hall to pick up guests, and there is no one in the west six palaces, so there are very few patrols.

Ye Qianhuai walked all the way to Yichun Palace, saw Shen Guiyi waiting at the door, and explained a few more words to her, and after seeing her leave, he pushed open the heavy palace door alone.

She hadn't set foot here in more than half a year.

But the palace is still the appearance in her memory, which makes people feel familiar and sad.

But at this time, Ye Tianhuai didn't have much strength to remember the past, she staggered open the door of the dormitory, walked to the side of the bed in three or two steps, sat on the ground and leaned against the corner of the bed, panting rapidly.
