The dark night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars.

The night fog hit, and there was a hint of coolness in the midsummer night. Under the hazy moonlight, the night sky reveals an infinite deep blue, stretching into the distance.

At this time, the palace was too quiet, the original sound of the wind and the sound of cicadas seemed to have disappeared, only in the empty, bloody air, from time to time diffused a few night crow whimpering, it seemed to be the last struggle of life, and it seemed to be a cry for help before death.

In the harem, except for Concubine Chen's bedroom, it is quiet.

Now, these quiets seem to be connected, and they are jealous of this person who has stolen all the attention of the three palaces and six courtyards - Concubine Chen.

In a palace diagonally opposite Concubine Chen's Gyeongbokgung Palace, a woman was looking resentfully in the direction of Gyeongbokgung Palace: "Laugh, let you laugh for two more days, you won't be able to laugh soon......"

"Mother, they're coming."

"Oh? Please! ”

With an order, two people who were tightly wrapped in black clothes and black robes walked in.

"You're finally here!"

"Hehe......" Under the black robe, two cold laughter came, and the two immediately took off their hoods, revealing their original faces-

Liu Jin and Li Xianghui!

And they are the concubines of the emperor in front of them.

"Concubine Niangniang, you are polite below......" Liu Jin said and was about to kneel.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Concubine Shu hurriedly helped the two of them up, her expression was already a little impatient.

"Don't worry, Niangniang, everything is arranged outside. On the day of Concubine Chen's birth, the brothers will disguise themselves as midwives and eunuchs and infiltrate the palace, take advantage of the weakness of Concubine Chen's birth, steal the child, and send it to your palace - and then it will be time to see your performance! ”

"Don't worry." Concubine Shu sneered: "This palace lied to the emperor about her pregnancy a few months ago, and in order to prevent the flaws from being exposed, I also asked the imperial doctor to inform the emperor that I was pregnant with a girl, so that the emperor would not pay more attention to me." You only need to hand over the child to me, and I only need to play a play and give birth a few days after Concubine Chen gave birth to a child - in this way, this prince will naturally be born to this palace...... Hehehehehe! Speaking of this, Concubine Shu couldn't help but feel proud.

Liu Jin said with a smile: "It seems that the little one is going to congratulate Niangniang on her ascension to the throne of the Queen Mother in advance!" ”

Concubine Shu also said politely: "Hey--the mourning family also wants to congratulate your master in advance, Lord Liu has become the regent!" ”

"Now that Niangniang's plan has been arranged, Liu Jin has nothing to say. Merely... I also hope that Niangniang will be extra careful with Wang Ge Lao and the people around him, and don't let them discover our plan. ”

"This palace has its own measure, where does he, Wang Dan, an outsider, know? But you, once everything is ready on my side, and Concubine Chen over there has no child, won't everything be in vain? ”

"Hey......" Liu Jin waved his hand: "Of course we have a way, look-"

"What is this?"

Liu Jin was holding a small wide-mouthed porcelain bottle in his hand at this time, and the mouth of the porcelain bottle was plugged with a stopper, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Almonds." Liu Jin pulled out the cork, threw one out of his hand, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it.

"What's the use of that?"

Liu Jin smiled: "For us, this thing is just for eating, but for Concubine Chen, as long as I want her child to be born, I will add some ...... to her meal In this way, the child will be born on the same day! ”

Concubine Shu: "Do you want to lead Concubine Chen to have a miscarriage?" Think about it! Once the child is gone, everything we have done is in vain! ”

"Of course we've tried it before, otherwise would we dare to use it casually?" Liu Jinyin said compassionately: "Besides, everything is risky, if you don't do it if you are afraid of risks, then what is the great cause?" ”

"Okay......" Concubine Shu hesitated for a while, but finally nodded in agreement.

Retreating from the palace gate and walking out of the dull palace, Li Xianghui could finally ask the question he was holding back in his heart.

"Lord Liu's dream is not to be a regent, right?"

Liu Jin glanced at it: "That stupid woman believes it, do you believe it too?" ”

Li Xianghui smiled awkwardly and suddenly realized: "Oh...... I see! is under the dullness. ”

Liu Jin patted Li Xianghui's shoulder proudly: "Concubine Shu, this woman is very ambitious, and she is trying to seize power by the power of my master. That's not all, the important thing is that she is now ready to cross the river and tear down the bridge! ”

"Huh?" Li Xianghui exclaimed: "The matter is not finished yet, the enemy has not been solved yet, she has already started to plan for the future?" ”

"A woman's mind is more meticulous...... It's a pity that she doesn't have the brains to match the meticulous mind - how many of her own people are around her? I'm afraid she can't even tell herself...... Hahaha, let's go. ”

The footsteps of the two of them gradually drowned out the wailing of the night crows.

Suddenly, the rumbling thunder sounded from far and near, and a lightning bolt pierced the sky!

The waterfall-like rain can be compared to 3,000 feet of rushing straight down, and it is menacing to hit the world.

Lei Gong and Electric Mother seem to want to tear open the heavy curtain of this sky, but they don't know that they are the biggest supporting role in this canopy.

This rainstorm came suddenly, and without warning, Wang Dan and Yang Huaizhen, who led hundreds of families, blocked the city gate.

"How could this rain be so coincidental?"

"What?"

Because of the heavy rain, the city gate had been hastily closed, and more than 200 people were huddled in the huge gate hole and shivering.

"I mean, this rain is too coincidental!"

Yang Huaizhen shouted: "If you want me to say, this saint is about to return to Beijing, but it is a torrential rain, this is probably not a good sign......

He was not afraid of others hearing it, and the loud sound of the rainstorm outside almost overpowered all sounds.

"You said Liu Xi, they? You're exalting them too much! How could the Great Song Dynasty be won by a group of little ghosts who crossed the river and said that they would take it? ”

"You're not afraid? If they really stab the Holy One to death, the world will be in chaos! ”

Wang Dan smiled: "The world is in chaos? After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, countless people thought so, but what about now? ”

Yang Huaizhen's eyes rolled: "You really say that-"

"Let me tell you Lao Yang, even if the saint is really dead, there are still the eighth prince in the court, and the prince who is about to be born, the world will not be chaotic!"

"Haha, I said that this rain has forced out all the sincere words that your brother is holding back!"

"Well, no outsiders can hear it anyway, it's just telling the truth! Hey--I'll only tell you this brother, go out, but others and others are talking nonsense, and my old king will die! ”

"You're still worried about me?"

"You can't play with those old foxes, I'm worried that something will happen to you!"

"Okay, you can rest assured!"

Wang Dan then relieved himself and patted Yang Huaizhen on the shoulder, and walked to the entrance of the door, where he could just see the pouring rain falling from the sky: "The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier......"

"Let it go down...... Yang Huaizhen looked at the gloomy sky and said with a smile: "The joy of this heavy rain is completely new...... It's going to be a new day in the future! ”

"What did you say?" Wang Dan didn't seem to hear clearly.

"I mean...... The scenery may be good in the future! ”

"Haha......" The two people in front of them who were pouring heavy rain looked at each other and laughed.

At this moment, Lin Xi was not in the inn.

Where is he?

I saw that outside Liu's mansion, a swift figure crossed the wall to avoid the guards and rushed into the main hall.

That figure just brought an extra hat, and it was Lin Xi!

Behind Lin Xi, who was not easy to notice, a figure followed and flew in.

Lin Xi, who came first, was not shocked by the gorgeous scene in the main hall at all.

He felt in his heart that Liu Xi's home should be like this.

It's just that the people behind seem to have never seen the world a little bit.

A low exclamation made Lin Xi feel a little surprised in an instant.

"Hmm......" Lin Xi disappeared, and the people behind him were covered by Lin Xi with one hand, pinched his hands with the other, and instantly brought them under a beam and pillar, unable to move.

"Why are you again?" Lin Xi let go of his hands in surprise because he saw the face in front of him clearly.

"I was surprised by you, didn't you expect it this time?" It was Xi Jingyao who followed behind, and she raised her eyebrows proudly at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi's face was still serious, but his voice softened a lot: "You are much more light-hearted." ”

Lin Xi fumbled around, and at the same time taught the giggling Xi Jingyao: "I told you that I just came to Liu's Mansion to see if there are any clues, and I don't need to follow--Li Qingyou listens to me, Yebai listens to me, and Sister Tang also listens to me, why don't you listen?" ”

Xi Jingyao pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "It's everyone who wants me to come." ”

"That's what you want to come to, huh?"

Xi Jingyao's expression was extremely aggrieved, and even her voice was blurred: "Yes...... Everybody's worried about you, and I'm worried about you. ”

"You ......" Lin Xi turned his head angrily, but when he really saw Xi Jingyao's teardrops that were ticking on the ground, Lin Xi's anger immediately softened: "Follow it." ”

Xi Jingyao jumped up excitedly in an instant, but she also knew that this was in Liu's Mansion, so she didn't dare to make a loud sound: "I know that Lin Xi is the best!" Xi Jingyao took advantage of her excitement and pounced on Lin Xi's body.

"Oops...... What! This hug caught Lin Xi a little off guard, and he struggled for a long time before he came out with a red face.

"You...... Steady focus! Lin Xi covered his red ears and lectured.

"Oh, I remember ......"

But just when Lin Xi felt that he could finally continue the search, he didn't take two steps, and Xi Jingyao grabbed the corner of his clothes again and dragged him back.

"What's the matter?"

"Look at this, look at this!"

Following Xi Jingyao's point, Lin Xi discovered that there was a boxy button on the beam where Shicai was hiding!

The button is hidden inside the beams, and unless you look closely, you won't be able to find it!

Lin Xi tugged and pulled Xi Jingyao behind him: "You be careful, I'll press it to try ......"

Lin Xi's slightly trembling hand got closer and closer, and finally made up his mind, and pressed it with a "swish"!
