Chapter 305: Go to the Cold Palace
The man in black didn't reply, and took the lead in attacking her.
After a few rounds of fighting between the two, Yao found that this person's moves were somewhat similar to Feng Hai's.
This person must know Feng Hai!
With such a cognition, A-Yao will not let go of this person.
After a few more rounds, the opponent's moves became slower, and his movements were not as fast as before, and he seemed to have the intention of retreating.
Ah Yao didn't give him a chance to escape, and his moves became swift, wanting to subdue this person as soon as possible.
She grabbed the man in black's wrist, folded his arm behind her back with her backhand, and slapped him down on the back of the neck.
The man in black fell to the ground.
"Look how you run, I'm going to see who you really are."
As she spoke, she bent down to uncover the black-clothed man's veil.
As she approached, the man in black suddenly opened his eyes and reached out to point at her acupoint.
The man in black got up, glanced back at her, and immediately ran away.
Watching the man in black walk away, she broke through the cave and caught up.
The man in black has good martial arts, but his body seems to have an old disease, and after a few rounds of fighting with her, he has consumed a lot of physical strength, and the skill of the acupoints is insufficient, so he can't stop her for long.
She wanted to see where this man in black came from.
She chased the man in black all the way to the gate of the palace, watched the man in black fly into the palace gate, and finally disappeared.
Entered the palace again!?
There are also Feng Hai's comrades in the palace!
She entered the palace with this doubt and came to the emperor's bedroom.
"A-Yao is here, sit down!"
"How is the emperor doing recently?"
The emperor smiled at her, "After a day of rest, it's much better." β
"That's good."
The emperor glanced at her and asked, "You entered the palace today, do you have anything else?" β
Sure enough, he couldn't hide it from the emperor.
She said truthfully: "Actually, I want to ask about Feng Hai. β
"Why do you ask about him?" The emperor asked.
"I went to Huang Wensheng's house today, and I happened to bump into a man in black looking for something in his house, I fought with the man in black, and his moves were similar to Feng Hai."
"You fought the Man in Black? You're not hurt, are you? β
Ah Yao smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine, my martial arts are taught by the Regent, and it's going to be fine." β
The emperor looked her up and down to make sure that he didn't see a wound on her, and then he was relieved.
"Not only is the man in black similar to Feng Hai's moves, I followed the man in black all the way and found that he entered the palace and finally disappeared into the palace."
"The man in black has entered the palace?" The emperor said excitedly.
Ah Yao nodded, and said softly: "The emperor doesn't need to panic, this person must be the same as Feng Hai, he has been lurking in the palace all the time, Feng Hai has not hurt you, and he probably won't hurt you." β
"In my palace, there are still such people?"
The emperor was in disbelief.
"So I came to the palace this time to find you, just to ask you about Feng Hai."
After all, Feng Hai is a person close to the emperor, and when he gets along with the emperor day and night, the emperor will know some things about him.
The emperor carefully recalled and said: "Feng Hai has been in the palace for many years, and there were assassins in the palace that year, and it was he who stood in front of me and blocked the deadly sword for me. β
After speaking, the emperor couldn't help but sigh.
After all, Feng Hai has been with him for many years, and he almost lost his life to save him.
Just when the emperor was moved, A-Yao suddenly spoke up.
"Did the emperor ever think that maybe the assassination was planned by him?"
The emperor's eyebrows furrowed, "Impossible! If he planned the assassination, why would he risk his life to save me? β
"He just wants to gain the emperor's trust and become a person next to the emperor."
Ah Yao is not unreasonable, that assassination is indeed a bit strange.
On that day, there happened to be no one around him, and it happened that Feng Hai appeared in time to save him.
Could it really be planned by Feng Hai?
The emperor's brows furrowed even tighter, "But he has been by my side all these years, and he has never done anything unfavorable to me, why did he risk his life to act in such a play and come to my side?" β
Ah Yao couldn't figure this out either.
What exactly is Feng Hai's purpose?
"Feng Hai has anyone close to him in the palace?" Yao asked.
"I called Xiao Linzi, you can ask him!"
"Hmm."
Xiao Linzi soon came to the emperor and saluted respectfully to the emperor and A-Yao.
The emperor waved his hand, "No courtesy, Ah Yao has something to ask you, although you answer truthfully, you must not hide anything." β
"Yes."
A-Yao turned her head to look at the emperor, "Then we won't disturb the emperor's rest, I'll take him down for questioning." β
"Hmm."
Ah Yao took Xiao Linzi and walked out.
The emperor suddenly shouted to stop her, "Ah Yao, how is Feng Hai's future arranged?" β
"Arranged by the forbidden army."
"It's okay."
She heard the meaning of the emperor's words and asked, "Do you want me to go to the forbidden army and ask?" β
"No, you go down!"
"Yes."
Ah Yao and Xiao Linzi walked out of the emperor's bedroom, and Xiao Linzi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "After all, Gonggong Feng has been with the emperor for many years and has saved the emperor's life, and the emperor probably still doesn't want to see him end up too desolate." β
A-Yao also understood.
But Feng Hai was a sinner after all, and the body had already been handed over to the forbidden army for disposal, and it was too late for her to think about it.
She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Linzi and asked, "Does Feng Hai have any people close to him on weekdays?" β
Xiao Linzi thought seriously and shook his head, "It's strange to say that he is a person, don't look at him as a popular person around the emperor, but few people get close to and please him." β
"Why?"
"I heard that he is a strange person, he never interacts with the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, except for serving the emperor, or serving the emperor, I don't know what he is trying to do."
No way!
Since Feng Hai went to great lengths to serve the emperor, he must have a plan.
"He doesn't have a friend in the palace who can talk?"
Xiao Linzi shook his head, "No." β
"What about the palace maid?"
Xiao Linzi smiled, "There is a palace maid who wants to lean on him, but he doesn't give him a chance!" β
"You mean, there was a palace maid who showed favor to him?"
Xiao Linzi immediately waved his hand to deny, "I didn't mean that, the girl misunderstood." β
The days in the palace are lonely, and it is common for palace maids and eunuchs to interact in private.
A eunuch of Feng Hai's level, I am afraid that there are countless palace maids who want to make up for him.
But this is a palace after all, and no one will publicize this kind of thing that cannot be put on the table.
If it reaches the ears of the emperor again, it will be a great sin to defile the palace.
Ah Yao saw Xiao Linzi's concerns, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, I won't tell the emperor everything you told me today." β
"Really, really?"
After all, she was the seventh princess, and Xiao Linzi didn't dare to believe her rashly.
"I swear it's all right!"
Xiao Linzi smiled at her, "The girl is serious, I believe in the girl's character, since the girl said that she would not tell the emperor, then naturally she would not tell the emperor." β
"Can you say that?"
Xiao Linzi looked around, approached Ah Yao and whispered: "There are indeed a few palace maids who want to borrow Gonggong Feng to climb up, I heard that there were people who sneaked into Gonggong Feng's room in the middle of the night, and was finally thrown out by Gonggong Feng, and told the emperor, who was angry and threw that person into the cold palace." β
"Is there really such a thing?" Yao asked.
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, these are all things I heard, if you really want to know, go to the cold palace and ask."
Ah Yao asked again: "What is the name of that palace maid?" β
"I don't know, I just know that she went crazy after she went to the cold palace, and as long as she heard the word Feng Hai, she became ill."
"Thank you."
After thanking Xiao Linzi, she went straight to the cold palace.
Feng Hai didn't have anyone close to him in the palace, not even a friend who could talk, so the person who slipped into Feng Hai's room in the middle of the night must have seen something, or knew something.
She's going to find out about this man.
Ah Yao quickly came to the cold palace, pushed open the door of the cold palace and walked inside.
As soon as she stepped into the cold palace, a cool air mixed with a musty smell came to her face, and she wanted to hug her arms and cover her mouth and nose.
The courtyard was desolate, with dead leaves and branches scattered in the courtyard, broken and mottled doors and windows covered with cobwebs, and rats running through the yard from time to time.
I heard that all the concubines, palace maids, female officials, etc. who live here are erroneous, and the three meals here are uncertain, and when you come here, you can only wait for death.
As she walked inside, she shouted, "Anyone?" β
No one responded to her.
She continued inside, "Is anyone there?" β
Still no one responded.
She stood there and thought for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "It's time to eat." β
As soon as her words fell, a number of women with tattered clothes, messy hair, and dirty faces poured in from all sides of the cold palace.
She looked at the women in the cold palace and found that they were of different ages.
With gray hair and a solemn posture, it can be seen that she is a well-educated woman, probably the concubine of the first emperor.
The rest should be female officials and palace maids.
Seeing that everyone was staring at her, she could only explain with a smile: "I want to ask you a question first, and then I can give you food." β
Someone whispered, "What are you going to ask?" β
She glanced at these people and said, "Is everyone in the Cold Palace here?" β
Everyone nodded.
"Do you recognize Feng Hai?"
After everyone looked at each other, a palace maid standing on the very edge suddenly shouted and ran away.
That's her.
Ah Yao immediately chased after him and chased him to a remote house.
She saw the palace maid sitting on the ground and clenching her knees, trembling and huddled in the corner, still whispering something in her mouth.
She walked straight up to the palace maid, "Do you recognize Feng Hai?" β
The palace maid raised her eyes to look at her, and suddenly knelt at her feet and kept kowtowing to her.
"I beg my father-in-law to spare my life! I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything. β
She was just about to reach out to help the palace maid, but the palace maid avoided her.
The palace maid continued to kowtow, "Ask my father-in-law to spare my life!" Ask my father-in-lawβ"
The palace maid kept repeating the same sentence in her mouth.
She slowly squatted in front of the palace maid and said softly, "I'm not Feng Hai, I'm here to save you." β
Hearing the word Feng Hai, the palace maid ran out like crazy.
Ah Yao hurriedly grabbed her, "Don't run, I won't hurt you." β
"I beg my father-in-law to spare his lifeβ"
Seeing that the palace maid was still repeating the same words, she stunned the palace maid with one palm and took her out.
She took the palace maid to the courtyard of the cold palace, and was stopped by the woman of the cold palace.
