Chapter 189: Princess Yingyue
Hearing his unkind words, Qin Yuetian couldn't help but glance at him coldly.
King Rong pretended to look at King Ling politely: "Second brother, since everyone thinks that now is the best time, it is better to let Chaotianwei and Yinyang Pavilion join forces and contact the hidden danger as soon as possible."
Li Moxing didn't intend to compete with him, so he nodded lightly and said, "Commander Su has already taken Chaotianwei's people to wait outside the palace, as long as the Yin Yang Pavilion can work together with him, presumably that fine work will be caught tonight."
King Rong's face was overjoyed, and he immediately nodded and said, "Second brother is really wise."
With this agreement, everyone went their separate ways.
The forbidden army in the palace stood by in place, while the disciples of the Yinyang Pavilion and the soldiers of the Chaotian Guard were wearing enchantments and defensive spells, and they searched the palace in full swing.
In the middle of the night, the lights in the heart hall were bright.
It was already bedtime, but the emperor was still worried, and sat on the dragon chair while watching the twists and turns while waiting for the result.
Seeing that the hour was not early, Gong Hai, who was waiting from the side, stepped forward to remind him intimately: "Your Majesty, the time to go to bed has passed, let's settle down."
The emperor glanced outside the hall: "What time is it?"
Grandpa Hai lowered his eyebrows and looked at him: "There is only half an hour left in the ion time."
The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, and said in a somewhat solemn tone, "How is the situation on King Rong and King Ling?"
Hai Gonggong: "I have already asked Yangyang Pavilion and Chaotianwei's people to join forces to search for him, saying that there will be a result tonight."
The emperor still had some confidence in the ability of these two sons, and said lightly, "Then wait a little longer, I want to see what kind of person is that guy who comes and goes freely in my palace?"
The Son of Heaven has his own decision, and Gonggong Hai naturally didn't want to persuade him again, so he nodded and stepped aside.
Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, Li Moxing, Bai Yue and Su Jiuli supervised Chaotianwei's people to conduct inspections.
Bai Yuexiu put his hands behind his back and said, "This King Rong is really good at making a fool of himself, the female cadre hidden in the palace was obviously discovered by us first, but he brought Qin Yuetian over to grab the merit."
Li Moxing's reaction was very bland: "It's all for the sake of Da Ming, as long as you can find out the female cadre as soon as possible, it will be good for everyone."
Bai Yuexiu was not satisfied, turned his head to look at him and said, "This is your true words?"
Li Moxing knew that he had always been the same person, and he never easily compromised with anyone.
So he thought about it and said, "Just because I am asking you for help, this time I will find out the thief first, and if there is something similar in the future, I will not embarrass you."
Bai Yue looked at him fixedly for a while.
He could feel that Li Moxing attached great importance to this matter, but he couldn't guess what the reason was.
It was here that a soldier of Chaotianwei came over and said, "Lord Qiqi, the Great Commander, all the places in the palace have been searched, and no suspicious person has been found." Z.br>
Bai Yuexiu had already expected this result, and took the lead in turning around and said, "Then search for the next one."
Su Jiuli nodded and motioned to his subordinates to do as he said.
After that, the three of them searched three palaces in succession, but they found nothing.
Until he passed a relatively deserted lake, Bai Yuexiu looked at the ruins on the opposite side and said, "What is the other place? Why does it look so desolate?"
Li Moxing raised his eyes and glanced at the lake, and his voice was faint: "This lake is called Yingyue Lake, the Mingyue Palace on the shore of the lake, which is said to be the residence of the eldest princess of the previous dynasty."
These words immediately aroused Bai Yuexiu's interest, and he stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"I heard that Princess Yingyue of the previous dynasty was a stunningly talented woman, not only with quick thinking, but also with very advanced spiritual skills, but she had a tricky and eccentric personality, except for her personal maid and biological parents, no one else could get a glimpse of her true face."
Li Moxing had also read the relevant records in the classics of the library, and when he heard Bai Yuexiu's enthusiastic tone, he couldn't help asking, "You don't want to go over and have a look, do you?"
Bai Yue Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Why not? Didn't you search over there anyway?"
This sentence was to the point, and Su Jiuli immediately ordered the accompanying soldiers: "Take people to the palace on the other side of the lake to search, and don't let go of any corner."
"Yes!"
The subordinates had to be ordered to do it, and they didn't take the lead in rushing towards the Mingyue Palace.
From this side to the other side of the lake, in addition to walking around the lake, you can also walk the verandah in the middle of the lake, which is not much closer.
The Chaotian guards divided into two routes, all the way around the lake and all the way through the verandah, and did not miss any corner.
The three of them walked behind the group, watching the slightly deserted scene in the lake while looking at the palace opposite.
It wasn't until around the corner that everyone found that except for the palace gate, the houses in the Mingyue Palace had basically collapsed, the trees had withered, the gardens were deserted, and the prosperity of the past was no longer seen.
Bai Yuexiu looked around at the ruins at his feet, and sighed, "It's a pity for this elegant garden."
Li Moxing has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to seeing similar changes, so he only said lightly: "After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Princess Yingyue disappeared, and many people said that she returned to the mountains and forests with her maidservants and gold, silver and jewelry."
Bai Yuexiu still looked around, and said, "I don't think so, if Princess Yingyue's personality is really as tricky and eccentric as the world says, how can she be willing to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests from now on?"
Since entering the Moon Reflecting Palace, Su Jiuli's attention has been on the search.
Compared with other palaces that were kept clean and tidy, this deserted garden was searched more carefully, and it was not known how many people could be hidden in the weeds growing outside the palace.
What everyone didn't notice was that when Chaotianwei was digging three feet into the ground in the Yingyue Palace, a string of bubbles appeared in the lake under the verandah.
As the bubbles disappeared, a large ball loomed at the bottom of the moonlit lake, and a black mass was hidden in the ball.
About a quarter of an hour later, the entire Moon Reflecting Palace was rummaged over by Chaotianwei, and all the weeds everywhere were trampled down, and the cobwebs connected to the corners of the walls were not spared.
"Report to the Commander, nothing has been found in the temple."
Hearing his subordinates' report, Su Jiuli couldn't help frowning.
He thought that he would find this clue here, but he didn't expect to find nothing.
Li Moxing and Bai Yuexiu naturally heard the words of the soldiers.
Bai Yuexiu put his hands behind his back and said, "It seems that we are going to be busy again tonight."
With that, he turned and walked towards the lake.
Li Mo walked behind him, and when he was about to turn the verandah, he suddenly saw a string of bubbles emerging from the lake water at the bottom of his feet.
"Wait."
He stopped the crowd and squinted his eyes to look into the lake, "What do you see there?"
Bai Yuexiu followed his gaze and looked into the lake.
The moon and stars are scarce in the sky, and it is impossible to illuminate the lake, but it just so happens that this lake is unattended, and there is nothing but the aquatic plants that grow at the bottom of the lake, so there is nothing to hide.
He narrowed his eyes and focused his gaze, and sure enough, he saw the faint sphere suspended in the water.
