Chapter 40: Suspicious Shadow Summer is Cool
Fu'an smiled: "Although the handwriting is indeed Caiqin, but I always feel that there is something not good, why don't you tell Su Jieyu about it?" β
Hearing this, Qiao Hua agreed very much, and asked Fu'an to go to Hanliang Hall first: "Today, King Sui must meet Su Jieyu in Hanliang Palace, you must inform King Sui of this matter, there is still an hour before the time is halfway through, and it is too late." β
Fu'an hurriedly agreed: "I'll do it." β
Fu'an walked to Yongxiang, and the busy people in the palace still came and went, and no one cared where she would go, but after a while, Fu'an walked to the front of Hanliang Palace, and asked someone to pass the word, and Su Jieyu really passed Fu'an into the palace.
The busyness of the afternoon made the harem almost messed up, and at this moment, on the long street and Yongxiang, the palace people who came and went were extremely nervous, and they were all in a hurry, each with their own errands.
Chen Meiren and Yang Cairen were also walking side by side on the long street, constantly complaining and chanting.
The two of them were walking towards the Buddha hall in the palace at the moment, because this was Concubine De's order.
When Shen Shi was before, Concubine De summoned Chen Meiren and Yang Cairen, saying that the palace has not been very stable recently, and the palace is busy today, so let Chen Meiren and Yang Cairen go to the Buddha Hall to pray now, and only after three quarters can they go out of the Buddha Hall to return to the palace.
So, the two of them were walking towards the Buddha hall at this moment, and on the way, they still did not forget to complain that Concubine De was too unkind.
The Buddha hall is in a very quiet place in the Great Yin Palace, quiet and quiet, but once the time passes, it will be very quiet, even if Chen Yang and the two go together, I am afraid that they will still be afraid in their hearts at that time.
The light in the sky is getting dimmer, the sun is setting, and another night is about to fall.
In the evening glow, Hanliang Hall was not idle, Fu'an quickly notified Su Jieyu, and then the king was really here, Su Jieyu heard about Caiqin's letter, and also felt very different, so he asked King Sui to secretly escort Qiao Hua and let Qiao Hua go to the appointment on time.
In this way, Fu'an followed behind King Sui, and the two walked to the east of the Lin De Palace, at this time it was inconvenient for King Sui to walk towards the Shang Palace Bureau, so Fu'an walked back to the Si Shi room and informed Qiao Hua.
It's been a moment, and the sky is gradually dyed half ink.
Fu'an hurriedly walked to the gate of the Shanggong Bureau, but saw that Qiao Hua was already standing with the guard Jiang Cheng waiting for him, Fu'an was secretly surprised, and bowed: "Lord Jiang is also there." β
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Qiao Hua has already told me about the matter, and I heard that you also called King Sui over, right?" β
Fu'an nodded: "Su Jieyu also said that this can be foolproof, and she also wants to know who will be involved behind this matter." β
Qiao Hua looked at Jiang Cheng, and said with a firm gaze: "Let's go, you can rush over." β
The three of them rushed to the east of the Lin De Palace, and the king was still waiting for them here, Qiao Hua saw the queen of Sui, and made a salute, asking the king of Sui and Jiang to go to the palace of the river, Jiang Cheng was a guard in the inner court, familiar with the roads in the palace; Then the king can secretly follow behind him, and if there is really something wrong, he can also appear in time.
Fu'an was inconvenient to go, so she had to go back to the Shanggong Bureau first, she held the medicinal powder that Qiao Huadi gave her in her hand, which was left over in the morning, and at this moment, Fu'an had to go back to the Si Shi room to finish this unfinished thing.
The last rays of the sun seemed to fade out of the sky, and three quarters had passed, and Qiao Hua felt that every step he took seemed to hide endless dangers.
The sky had darkened into a faint inky color, and Qiao Hua, under the cover of King Sui, continued to walk towards the Xuanjiang Palace.
Under the towering palace wall, there is wind mixed with a little fallen leaves and broken flowers, wantonly passing through the palace alleys, making people unable to tell how many times the world is now, the legend is that at this moment is the time when the strange force is chaotic and charming, the shadows of the palace are like the silhouette of a giant beast, Qiao Hua seems to have gone somewhere, I don't know how far the Aijiang Palace is.
Right now, three quarters have passed, and on this side of the Buddha Hall, Chen Meiren and Yang Cairen have just come out after praying for blessings, and are rushing back, and the footsteps of the two of them along the way are tense and fast, like the sound of raindrops falling on the lake surface of the Taiye Pool.
Yang Cairen was very scared, and kept complaining: "Concubine De Niangniang is really excessive, as soon as tonight passes, it will be the Midyear Festival, but I asked us to come to the Buddha Hall to pray for blessings the night before the Midyear Festival!" β
Chen Meiren pulled Yang Cairen back quickly, and gasped: "This is also no way, today the palace is busy like a mess, and there are only two of us in the low-ranking concubines, who will come if we don't come?" β
In this way, Yang Cairen no longer had to complain, she could barely keep up with Chen Meiren's pace, and was panting again and again, making Chen Meiren walk slower.
Just as the two of them were about to run up, a black shadow quickly burst out of the grass and rushed towards the dense forest in the distance with lightning speed!
Yang Cairen almost fainted, Chen Meiren's face turned pale, and she hurriedly covered Yang Cairen's mouth, trying not to let Yang Cairen scream.
"Shhhh β
Yang Cairen almost collapsed to the ground in fright, looked at Chen Meiren in horror and helplessness, and nodded tremblingly.
The man in black didn't notice Yang Cai and Chen Meiren, and only quickly burrowed into the dense forest and rushed towards the direction of the Aijiang Palace.
At this moment, it was the time when Qiao Hua rushed to the Aijiang Palaceβmore than half of the time!
Qiao Hua was about to step on the white marble steps of the Aijiang Palace, the black shadow jumped down from above like a storm, Qiao Hua instinctively dodged, between the lightning and flint, Jiang Cheng had already ambushed here as planned, from the grass like a sword out of the sheath, and quickly rushed to the black-clothed man who was about to assassinate Qiao Hua, the sharp blades in the hands of the two were like two lightning bolts together, making a crisp impact sound.
The man in black raised his head suddenly, his eyes looked directly at Jiang Cheng, and he quickly jumped towards the courtyard wall, Jiang Cheng reacted in time, and immediately jumped onto the courtyard wall with him, but he was one step too late, and the man in black rushed straight towards Yongxiang, Jiang Cheng did not relax for a moment, jumped hard, and chased after him.
Qiao Hua saw Jiang Cheng chasing after the black shadow, and her heartbeat was like a rainstorm on a summer night, which made her scared for a while and almost fainted. Qiao Hua looked up at the plaque in the Aijiang Palace, standing at the foot of the white marble steps, and did not dare to take a step forward for a long time.
The woods in the northeast of the Aijiang Hall were slightly blown by the wind, and Chen Meiren and Yang Cairen were still hiding here.
After a while, the two of them saw that everything was as usual, and the man in black did not appear again, so they breathed a sigh of relief and kept wiping the cold sweat on their temples.
Yang Cairen's voice seemed to be forced out of his cavity: "Did you see the black shadow just now?" β
Chen Meiren nodded, shook her head again, and said, "I saw it, fortunately, it wasn't for the two of us, it seemed to be heading towards the Aijiang Palace." β
"Aijiang Palace?"
"Yes, that direction is indeed the Aijiang Palace."
Yang Cairen was even more puzzled and asked, "Could it be an assassin?" Shall we tell the queen mother immediately? β
Chen Meiren got up slowly, looked at the Aijiang Hall in the distance, and said in a low voice; "Even if we want to tell the queen mother, then we have to go back to the palace first, the Aijiang Hall is the only way to return to the harem from the Buddha Palace. Sister, you and I have to go through this today. β
Yang Cairen almost cried, but when he saw the old trees and withered vines like the claws of wild ghosts and beasts, he gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward with Chen Meiren
