Chapter Ninety-Eight: Someone Have You Offended?

If you don't go through the main entrance, there is a secret passage? After listening to the man's words, he thought in his heart, it must be impossible for this cold palace to have a secret passage, can you know that there is a secret passage in the palace, there must be someone in the palace to help him, and the person who kidnapped them is a person in the palace? Kwon Wenjin? It doesn't make sense!

The only reason why Quan Wenjin kidnapped her was Quan Wenshu, but he kidnapped himself to his death, so as to stop Ji Fu and her relatives, otherwise once he let himself escape, this family affair will still be settled.

Quan Sheng thought about everything she could think of, but she still felt that something was wrong, Quan Sheng handed over a few pieces of pastry, she reached out and took it, and touched Quan Sheng's head: "Are you afraid?"

"With the royal sister here, I'm not afraid!" Quan Sheng looked at her with a firm look in his eyes, as if he was making up his mind.

When the man went out, he began to talk to the young men in the courtyard: "The princess of the house said that she wanted a new dress, and that she could not run away with us in her wedding dress."

The man who delivered the things glanced at the room and said lightly, "I know, someone will send it later, so I look at them, and we will leave the palace tonight."

"Hey, don't worry! There's no going wrong with me."

Expedient stood up and began to search in the house, changed into his new wedding clothes, did not bring his crossbow arrows, forgot to bring his dagger, and miscalculated himself, so he saw if he could know something useful in the house.

The concubines who enter the cold palace will basically be tortured and crazy for a long time, and endure the torture that ordinary people can't bear every day.

When Quan Yi was a child, it was not uncommon to see corpses carried out of the cold palace, basically never died normally, some cut their wrists, some wiped their necks, and the corpses were held up by people with blood, and the blood stains in the palace courtyard could not be washed for several days.

She searched for it, and sure enough, she found a dagger under the bed, but it was rusty, and she didn't leave a trace of it at every stroke of her finger. Looking at the yellow embroidered spots on the knife, she took it into her arms, got up, walked to the door and patted the door.

The man who had come in earlier glanced at his employer, and the young man waved his hand before he walked back and went out on his own.

"Do what?" The man shouted outside the house.

"I want onions, and I can wash rice and water."

"Hungry? Didn't I give you something, no one in my yard ate it, don't play tricks." The man thought they were still hungry, thinking that a bag of things would be given to their siblings, and replied impatiently.

"There are so many of you, how can I play tricks, if you can't wash rice and water, you need onions." Expedient kicked the door to demonstrate, and the man shouted helplessly and left.

"Sister Huang, what do you want onions and rice water for?" Quan Yi walked back, and Quan Sheng asked her in a suppressed voice.

Quan Yi took out the dagger from his arms, and Quan Sheng was stunned: "Sister Huang, where did you come from?"

"Shhhh Expedient pointed at the bed with the dagger.

"So you want those things to sharpen the dagger?"

Expedient hummed lightly, walked to the table, picked up a teacup and turned the bottom over, reached out to wipe off the ashes, there was still some water in the teapot that I don't know when, she poured a little on the bottom of the teabowl and the dagger, and took the dagger to grind it at the bottom of the bowl.

Quan Sheng looked at her, got up and walked to the couch, pulled down the dusty curtain next to the bed, and patted it with his little hand.

"Imperial sister, let's use this bag first, don't hurt your hands."

Expedient smiled at him and took the strip of cloth, "You don't have to care, look at my color, if there is a chance to escape, you have to run away and report the news, you know?"

"But I can't keep you alone!"

"Don't worry!" Expedient seemed to expect him to say this, and pressed his shoulder to reassure, "I'll be distracted if you're here, and if you run away and report the news, you can find someone to rescue me sooner, and I'll be fine."

The sun was shining, and the craftsmen of Xiao Chen Palace found a shady place, gathered together in twos and threes, holding the nest head, and talking while eating with a bowl of porridge.

The next moment, no one broke open the door, and a small team of people rushed in, quickly closing the yard

people surrounded.

Zhao Zi glanced around and said indifferently, "Don't panic, everyone, just accept His Majesty's will and conduct a routine inspection!"

He gestured to the guards he brought, and a few of them scattered into the house to search, he looked at the crowd, and continued to talk: "Everyone, if there is any suspicious person who has been seen recently, if there is any suspicious person here, you must report it to the forbidden army, understand?"

After he finished speaking, the guards came out of the house one after another, "General, no abnormalities have been found!"

Zhao Zi's eyes drooped slightly, "I know, take someone to continue the search!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Zi glanced at the room that had not been burned, and walked in to check, except for some tools for painting, several rooms were empty, and there was still undried paint falling on the door frame.

He sighed and walked out of the house, "Thanks, nothing out of the ordinary, just pay more attention on weekdays."

"Hey, my lord, what's going on in the palace? Why did the forbidden army dispatch panicked, and let us stay in the palace since yesterday."

He was just about to leave, but was stopped by a big sweat and asked, the people around him also pricked up their ears, their eyes widened, he smiled and comforted: "It's nothing, it's an eventful season, Your Majesty has asked us to strengthen our vigilance, and after this time, we will naturally let you go home!"

He nodded, and walked straight out of the palace, ignoring what these people were discussing behind him.

Walking out of the corner, I happened to meet a person, and he also led someone to search, "Second Highness!"

Quan Pei raised his hand and let the people behind him continue to disperse, and then he spoke to Zhao Zi: "Have you seen it? Is there anything unusual?"

Zhao Zi shook his head: "No, there is nothing empty, I also checked the dark room, the beams of the house or something, and there is nothing."

"I've also checked Xiao Qi's residence over there in the Hundred Mandarin Palace, and there's nothing, don't be discouraged, didn't you say there was news?"

The two nodded to each other and then split up on patrol.

Quan Wenjin put someone to search, he left the stone bench in the palace courtyard and sits, a person fell on the roof, and a stone flew out of his hand with a snap of his fingers, which happened to fall on the stone table, Quan Wenjin stood up and looked back.

The man was dressed in green clothes, masked with black cloth, and Quan Wenjin pulled out the knife in his hand, "Who is it?"

The rooftop man flew down in a few steps and landed in front of Quan Wenjin: "Your Highness, don't be nervous! If I want to be unfavorable to His Highness, I will do it before His Highness reacts, so why wait until now."

"You caught the expediency?" Quan Wenjin's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly realized something, and asked with a cold snort.

"Your Highness is wise!" The people of Tsing Yi did not forget to praise.

Quan Wenjin waved his hand disdainfully, and sat down on the stone bench again, "The palace is patrolling so aggressively, looking for the Expedient sister and brother, you must not be able to show up like this, aren't you afraid to catch you alone to receive the reward?"

The person who came laughed lowly, "Your Highness won't, after all, expediency is also the person Your Highness wants to eradicate, as long as Your Royal Highness doesn't cooperate with the Seventh Princess, it won't be a threat to you, and you can avenge your imperial sister, the best of both worlds!"

"Hmph, it looks like you're not bad! Say, what are you doing with Lone?"

"Cooperation! Your Highness, before the overall situation is decided, the position of a crown prince is not the ultimate goal, doesn't Your Highness want to ascend to the throne as soon as possible?" The man in Tsing Yi spoke in a dark tone, revealing a sense of calculation and temptation.

"What can you do?" Quan Wenjin suddenly became interested, and stretched out his hand to invite someone to sit down.

"Many years ago, before the death of the Emperor, have you heard of a secret edict? It is rumored that His Majesty's throne was seized from the hands of the former four princes, and a fake secret decree was created to steal the jade seal of the former emperor, and only then did he ascend to the throne!"

"Do you know what the secret is?"

"I don't know, but someone does! I have sent a letter to Shuo Fenghou, and five days later, in the abandoned imperial temple outside the city, I will hand over the person with one hand and pay the money with the other! As long as Your Highness sends someone to follow them to find the secret decree, isn't everything just waiting for you to plan?"

Quan Wenjin frowned: "You don't want anything, and you also tell me about the honey will, what is your purpose?"

"Who said I didn't want it, I want to know Shuo Fenghou with my own hands, and use your status as the crown prince to make him the target of everyone, a rebellious traitor! You again

Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if it was too late to save the car!"

"How can Lone believe in you?" Kwon Wenjin asked.

The visitor pulled down his mask: "In this way, is Your Highness satisfied?"

"Yusin?"

After a while, the strong man returned, unlocked the house, and dropped a bag of things: "Well, new clothes for you, and onions!"

Quan Yi picked up the bag and looked up at him: "Thank you, big brother, when will we leave the palace!" It's not easy to make a deal with you all the time, is it?"

"What do you care about? Stay honest, I will have someone tie you up again after changing your clothes in a while, don't use your crooked brains and dare to untie the rope again, Lao Tzu will tear up the ticket on the spot!" The strong man was obviously annoyed by the expedient requests again and again, and his face was very impatient and a little fierce.

Quan Yi nodded obediently, "Well, I promise not to cause trouble to my eldest brother obediently, after all, you are also using money to do things, if I find you trouble, you may lose your life if you don't get any benefits."

The man was coaxed by her, and the resentment and impatience just now were reduced by half, and a smile appeared on his face again, "Tsk, how else would I be willing to deal with smart people, I didn't expect you, a princess in a high position, to understand the difficulties of people like us, if you weren't in a hurry, who would do this!"

"That's right, the eldest brother just said that the brothers in the yard are still hungry, and you haven't eaten!" Expedient nodded, and took out a few packets of their pastries for the man.

"Big brother, don't dislike it, these bags haven't moved, you can pad it first!"

The expediency was both understanding and eating, so the man let down his guard a little, sat down in front of the two of them and took the things, and laughed dryly: "Then, I will not be polite, princess, and I will take it out and share it with the brothers in a while."

Quan Yi's hand was stunned, quite alert, and refused to take off the mask in the house, only for a moment she returned to normal, "Big brother, then how did you get into this business? Government persecution?"

"Don't tell the princess that I once joined the army, and I wanted to be able to show my ambitions in the army and shine on the lintel!" The man raised his eyes, and there was a light in his eyes as if he saw himself fighting on the battlefield, and with a lament, the light in his eyes dimmed again.

The man smiled bitterly, "The superior non-commissioned officer doesn't take the lives of the people below seriously, he came from other places to invade, abandoned the city and fled, leaving only a group of small soldiers to resist, and in the end, most of my people died, and I also escaped death, and I was heavy with two arrows on my body, one of which is here!" He stretched out his hand and pointed to the position on his chest, and said helplessly:

"I almost pierced my heart, but I survived, but the group of generals who ate soft rice actually framed me as a deserter and a thief, and sent me to prison."

Expedient's eyes were stunned, recalling a case many years ago, the border provocation, from time to time to lead the battle to the border pass of the capital, the leader of Youzhou was ordered to go to attack the enemy, did not want to send out the traitors in the reinforcements, passed the information to the border country, introduced the people who supported the full set, the soldiers suffered heavy losses, and were forced to retreat to Youzhou by the border country step by step, the northern Xinjiang was lost, and the leader was killed before the exit, and Sima who took office temporarily was afraid of death and left some people to defend it.

Many people became substitutes for the soldiers, and the people in front of them turned out to be survivors of that battle, "I have heard about this matter, in the battle in Northern Xinjiang, those soldiers were afraid that they would lose their black gauze hats and take some inconsequential people to blame!"

The man saw that Quan Yi's face became worried, and waved his hand: "Hey, you are a girl's family, I heard that you are still unfavored, and you have no chance to contact these, so it doesn't matter to tell you!"

"How did you escape?" The eyes that expedient looked at the man were a little unbearable.

"Someone took the blame for me, my brother so I was released, and from then on I decided not to be loyal to the court, and to be free to do some of this kind of work."

"You haven't killed anyone, have you?" Expedient looked him up and down and affirmed.

"I don't take on murder cases, I can't turn back with blood on my hands, I don't want to be like those dog officials!"

Quan Yi smiled with relief, looking at the eldest brother's eyes, although he was ruthless, he had no intention of killing, and he was forced to threaten himself without killing intent.

"Princess, let me, a vulgar man, ask, who have you offended?"
