Chapter 19: The Overhead Hanging Knife
"Okay," Li Yan stretched out his hand again, as if he had done it often, "I'll clip it to you." ”
Concubine Jing began to smile a little uncontrollably.
Concubine Jing thinks that her appearance is no worse than that of Fu Yao, and she is still a normal person, so the emperor should pay more attention to it.
Although she always thought that Li Yan wouldn't really like a fool and just play on the spot, she didn't need to do it.
Jealousy makes people crazy, and the food in Concubine Jing's mouth is instantly tasteless, and she just wants Fu Yao to disappear as soon as possible to save her trouble.
God still did what she wanted, but not completely.
Fu Miao did leave after eating, but he walked with Li Yan.
Concubine Jing was very surprised, she thought that the emperor should stay overnight, after all, it was not early, and this should be the process when things developed normally.
After finishing the meal, Li Yan handed Fu Yao a handkerchief, and said at the same time: "Go back to the palace." ”
Back to what palace? The Queen's Palace? Go back together??
Under Concubine Jing's smirkling eyes, the resentment became deeper and deeper.
After the two left, she beckoned to the palace maid and said to her: "The flowers in the imperial garden should gradually bloom in a few days, the queen came to see the palace today, and her heart is really not light, we still need to ask you to go back." ”
The palace maid nodded: "The slave and maid understand." ”
Besides, after the emperor and queen returned to Fengluan Palace, Mama Zhang went up with a strange expression and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the slave maid found that Cheng Jiang in the palace was missing this morning, and sent someone to find it to no avail." ”
Li Yan asked: "Did the Shanggong Bureau ask?" ”
"Asked," Mama Zhang's expression became even more strange, "Lord Shanggong said that Cheng Jiang's mother was mourned and had already left the palace...... But Cheng Jiang told the slave maid that her parents had died a long time ago. ”
Li Yan's pupils shrank suddenly.
He knew that Cheng Jiang was the eyeliner that the Queen Mother had placed next to Fu Yao, but he had no intention of removing it for the time being, because a lot of fake news needed to be passed on from here.
Out of the palace for funeral?
It's ridiculous, but how many people who live here can really leave alive?
Not to mention a palace maid who is likely to pose a threat to the Queen Mother and is as fate as an ant.
With such a statement from the Shang Palace Bureau, most of that person would have died unexpectedly.
…… It's just, who killed it?
He didn't even notice it.
Li Yan was instantly shocked into a cold sweat, and he suddenly reacted to what a dangerous situation he had accidentally put Fu Yao in before.
Li Yan immediately put down the pen of copying the book: "Father-in-law Hai, look for a set of palace maid's clothes and bring An Guiren to Fengluan Palace." ”
Hai Buji glanced at the sky outside, and asked, "Do you want to go at this moment?" ”
Li Yan nodded, with a solemn expression: "Go now." ”
Although it has already started spring, the cold wind is still biting at night, but fortunately, the bright moon hangs high, and the ground is clear, even if you don't turn on the lights, you can distinguish the road with a little concentration.
An Chengyue came with a pair of eyes that wanted to kill.
Before entering the palace gate, Li Yan handed over a piece of paper to him: "The documents handed over to all parties have been listed for you, and you will live in Fengluan Palace recently." ”
An Chengyue: "? ”
An Chengyue looked inexplicable, took the paper and looked at it, and then a black line appeared.
What is this?
…… There is an An Guiren, the daughter of the general who protects the country, Wen Taowu is extraordinary, because her father is about to go on an expedition, please follow ......
An Chengyue raised her head suddenly: "My father is going to go on an expedition?" ”
"There's no need to worry, it's just that there are a few tributaries on the border, and I don't worry about the others, so I plan to let General An take the light cavalry there, which is also what your father meant."
"Liukou, only take a light horse," An Chengyue shrugged, "Then he must be none of my business, why did you call me over?" also asked me to change the clothes of the palace maid in the middle of the night. ”
When An Chengyue said this, her eyes fell on Fu Yao, and she was suddenly alert: "Wait, you don't want to ......"
Li Yan was about to nod, but heard An Chengyue exclaim: "You don't want to hug the beauty at the same time, but you can't bear the queen to be sad, so let me pretend to be a palace maid, right?!" ”
"I, I, I'll tell you Li Yan, I have someone I like, I just said that I would just enter the palace to pick you up, and let me out when the matter is over, you don't mess with me!"
Li Yan: "......"
Why does he think An Chengyue is reliable?!
"Put away your nonsense," Li Yan frowned, "I have been taught by the master for so many years and I haven't changed my stinky problem, forget it outside the palace, I may not be able to hold you if something happens in the palace." ”
"Okay, okay," An Chengyue took a pear very easily, and sat down nearby without mind, "You want me to play the palace maid to protect the queen, right, after all, your secret guard can't show up, and I will change my appearance, there is no more suitable and more reassuring candidate than me." ”
Li Yan said: "The eyeliner that the Queen Mother planted in the Fengluan Palace is dead. ”
An Chengyue was stunned.
Li Yan: "It's not my hand. ”
There was an instant silence in the palace.
Fu Miao didn't quite understand what they were saying, but he vaguely knew that it was his own business, but he couldn't help, so he could only do it in a hurry.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door of the palace,
At this time, it is late at night, and in the harem, who will visit late at night?
The knock was very regular, very slow, with plenty of space between each one.
There are four tones in total.
Li Yan condensed: "Father-in-law Hai, let him in." ”
Hai Buji opened the palace gate, and almost as soon as the door opened, a black shadow flashed in.
"Your Majesty," the man in black kowtowed, "there's news." ”
"Say."
"A female corpse was found in Cining Palace, I heard that the deceased's name was Cheng Jiang, and the body was frozen under the river, and the Cining Palace was already in chaos."
Everyone's eyes were shocked.
The mood in Li Yan's eyes was obscure: "Stand down and continue to stare at." ”
The palace is getting more and more dull.
killed Cheng Jiang and put the body back in the Empress Dowager's palace, what did this person want to do?
And how on earth did he make such a big move without alarming anyone?
You must know that in this harem, the Queen Mother has eyeliner, and Li Yan also has eyeliner.
Looking at Cining Palace's reaction, the Queen Mother obviously didn't expect it.
If it weren't for the extremely large power layout in this palace, then this person would be the pinnacle of martial arts, and no one in this palace would be able to find his traces.
There are two speculations, the former needs to place enough people in the palace, and it is almost impossible in the harem covered by the overlapping forces of Li Yan and the Queen Mother.
So the latter is the most likely.
An Chengyue obviously thought of this, and looked at Li Yan helplessly: "Are you sure you didn't bring me over for nothing?" ”
Li Yan was silent for a moment: "No matter what this person's purpose is, he shouldn't want to hurt the queen, otherwise this would not be the case now." ”
But surrounded by a force that does not know the origin and purpose, in this dangerous palace, there is no doubt that the sword hangs over his head.
The hand under Li Yan's sleeve robe clenched hard: "I will find out as soon as possible." ”
