Chapter 148: Nightshade
On the top floor of the light smoke and green willows, Xiao Yi sat in the room, looking at the many pieces of evidence on the table and the information that Zhao Xu had returned, looking uncertain, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhao Xu stood not far away, as if he was waiting for Xiao Yi's orders, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Xiao Yi say anything, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, not knowing what Xiao Yi's true thoughts were.
"Are you sure these news are true?" Xiao Yat asked after a while.
In fact, it is redundant to ask this sentence, Zhao Xu is the most outstanding intelligence officer under him, and there is almost no mistake in inquiring about the news, so the information in front of him can be said to be completely credible.
"The news is true, please rest assured. Zhao Xu nodded and said, "My subordinates have made secret visits, checked a lot of people and things, and found that these people and places are more or less related to the former queen Ye Chengcheng. β
When Xiao Yi heard this, he didn't speak again, his curiosity and temptation about Mu Qingchen never stopped, but it was a pity that Mu Qingchen was too leaky, especially the people around her, all of them were good at keeping secrets, and they couldn't find any clues. So he can only start from the places where Qingchen has been, such as ...... The mountain behind Cumulus Temple.
From Master Zhitong to Yuxuzi, from Huaijin's medical skills to Nankong Divine Doctor, from the light skills of Night Death to Lingdong Wu's family...... Then he found that whether it was the Jade Xuzi or the Nankong Divine Doctor, or the rebellious son of the Wu family in Lingdong, they all had a certain connection with Ye Chengcheng.
Mu Qingchen, Ye Qingcheng.
Xiao Yi silently recited these two names again in his heart, he became more and more sure that Mu Qingchen and Ye Chengcheng had an inseparable relationship, but until now, he still didn't know how Mu Qingchen knew Ye Tingcheng, and he had never heard of when the two of them met, and even the relationship was so good that even these confidential things could be revealed.
"Go check the movements of the different surname Hou, and I'll go back to the palace. After his mind was settled, Xiao Yi commanded, turned around and left the light smoke and green willows, and returned to King Yi's mansion at dusk.
He originally thought that Qingchen would wait in Luluoju, but he didn't expect that when he entered the door, there were only three maidservants in the house, and even Huai Jin, who didn't often serve in the house, was there, but there was no trace of Qingchen.
"See the princeβ" Grip Yu was the first to spot Xiao Yi, and then bowed, followed by Huai Jin and Jin Yan.
"What about the princess?" Xiao Yi looked at the three people in the room, his eyes shrunk, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart, and asked coldly.
"Princess, she ......" Jin Yan seemed to be frightened by the look on Xiao Yi's face, and her speech was a little trembling.
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Yi's uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and his voice raised a lot.
Since he and Qingchen agreed to trust each other, Qingchen would tell him in advance about everything, even if she needed him to cover, she would speak directly, and it was rare for her to leave without saying a word.
The princess went to the palace, and she said that if she told the prince in advance, the prince would definitely not let her go, so the princess left before the princess returned. Hold Yu took a deep breath and said directly, "The princess also said that when the prince came back, she would tell the prince that the prince with a different surname had come during the day, and the emperor must have already known it. β
"She knew that the wind was nervous, so she was still going to the palace at this time?" When Xiao Yi heard this, a flame suddenly burst out of his eyes, with a faint anger.
The reason why Xiao Yi rushed back to King Yi's Mansion from the light smoke and green willow was that he was worried that Qingchen would impulsively go to the palace, but he didn't expect Qingchen to see his intentions, so he left Luluoju before he came back and went to the palace first.
Although he didn't know why Qingchen hated the Shen family so much, and why he tried his best to wipe out the Shen family, he knew that Qingchen's hatred for Shen Bihuan was never fake, and now that he knew that Shen Bihuan was beaten into the cold palace, he would definitely go to the cold palace to solve the grievances between them.
But now it is on the cusp of the storm, the concubines in the palace and the officials of the court and the central government have had accidents one after another, how could Xiao Ling not see that all this is someone making trouble in secret? Perhaps, Xiao Ling has already seen through this, so he deliberately kept Shen Bihuan, the purpose is to lure Qingchen out.
Huai Jin and Zhan Yu and the others didn't dare to speak anymore, just looked at Xiao Yi and didn't know what to say. The danger in the palace, how can they not know? But Qingchen has always been stubborn, and no one has ever been able to change the things he decides, let alone these girls.
Xiao Yi stood in Luluoju for a while, thinking in his mind how to solve this matter, if he went out openly now, he would let Qin Zhong know that Qingchen was not in Luluoju, then Qin Zhong would definitely spread the news to the palace and let Xiao Ling be prepared; if he went out quietly, he was worried that Luluoju's girls would not be enough to deal with Qin Zhong and be discovered.
But if he doesn't attack, then the dust is clear......
Huai Jin is a few people who are thoughtful and delicate, and it seems that he saw Xiao Yi's thoughts, so he opened his mouth and said to Xiao Yi: "Lord, the palace is extremely dangerous, the princess is in danger alone, and the slave is afraid that something will happen, so I asked the prince to enter the palace to help the princess." β
"Yes, Lord Wang, with a few of our efforts, the palace will definitely not be able to enter, and now the only one who can help the princess is you, Lord Wang. Zhan Yu nodded.
"Don't worry, lord, there are slaves and maids watching in Luluoju, in order to hide from Aunt Qiu before, we also pretended to be the princess, there will be no problem. Jin Yan also echoed, looking at Xiao Yi with hopeful eyes.
Xiao Yi looked at the girls in front of him, they were all loyal to Mu Qingchen, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Mu Qingchen is so capable, the people she cultivated single-handedly are all loyal to her, and this ability is also ashamed of himself.
"Don't worry, she is the princess of this king, and this king will not let her have anything to do. Xiao Yat said, "You take the opportunity to act." β
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yi entered the inner room, just like Feng Xiran every time he came and went, jumped out of the window lattice, and left King Yi's mansion with light skills. But he didn't go directly to the palace, but went to Qingyan Cuiliu, because before entering the palace to help Mu Qingchen, he had to make sufficient preparations.
And Xiao Yi thought that Mu Qingchen who had gone to the palace, but he was not in the palace at this time, but went to the Star Picking Tower, because the Nankong Divine Doctor came with news that Luo Yiyi woke up, no matter what, she had to go and take a look, and she had to tell Luo Yiyi the whole story of the matter, so that she knew the current situation.
"I really didn't expect that I would be able to get out of that prison in the deep palace alive. When Concubine An saw Qingchen, she said this, her tone was full of emotion.
"Now that you have done it, you are no longer Concubine An in the palace, but a brand new Luo Yiyi. Qingchen said, "Your father and brother are in Kyoto, and when everything in Kyoto is over, I will let you follow them back to Nangun." β
"Are you serious? My father and brother are in Kyoto, and they're here for me?" asked Royi.
"Half, don't think about it so much now, it's the right thing to take care of your body, in order to hide from Xiao Ling, that sword stab is not light. For other things, it's not too late to talk to your father and brother about other things when you've healed from your injuries. Qingchen persuaded.
Luo Yiyi nodded, looked at Qingchen gratefully, and said, "Thank you this time for thinking of such a way for the golden cicada to get out of its shell, otherwise I don't know how long I want to stay in that place." β
"We had an agreement, you helped me, we just helped each other. Okay, you get some rest, I have other things to do. Qingchen saw that the time was almost up, so he spoke, settled Luo Yiyi and lay down, then left the Star Picking Tower and headed towards the palace.
Xiao Yi guessed correctly, the grievances between her and Shen Bihuan must be settled tonight.
On this day, she has been waiting for too long, so long that the hatred of the Ye family has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and the scene before dying in her previous life is deeply in her memory, lingering and indelible. Every time she saw Shen Bihuan's face, she would think of the hatred she had before she died, and she remembered Xiao Ling in her ear, and said lightly that she would take Shen Bihuan into the palace and be named Concubine De.
She is Mu Qingchen, but she is Ye Tingcheng in her bones, Ye Tingcheng has never been a good person, and she doesn't disdain to be a good person, and she has been vicious enough to bear the infamy for a long time, so why doesn't she just be more vicious?
Qingchen's black clothes were faint in the dark night, like a ghost, more like a ghostly ghost from hell, with a solemn face and a cold gaze.
At this moment, she faded her smiling red makeup and turned into a Shura ghost, not the Jade Hook Princess of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, nor the princess Yi who advanced and retreated appropriately, but a woman full of hatred in her heart, all she wanted to do was take revenge.
The palace is still silent, it seems that the recent wind and waves have not caused any waves in the palace, the death and injury of the harem concubines and concubines, no longer the excitement of the past, Qingchen just stood on the wall of the cold palace, looked around, and finally ...... Fengzao Palace is no longer the only dark existence among the six palaces.
Shen Yuan is dead, Concubine An is gone, Concubine Shu is in a coma, the imperial concubine is already in the cold palace, among the six palaces, only Xiao Ling's Longchen Palace is still lit as before, but she knows that it won't be long before the only remaining light in Longchen Palace will no longer exist.
The night was miserable, the lights were dim in the distance, and Qingchen performed light skills, jumping down from the wall without a sound and entering the cold palace.
In September, the heat has gradually subsided, and there are cool breezes at night, blowing the rustle of the surrounding grass and leaves, making people shudder for a moment.
Qingchen's expression remained unchanged, listening intently to the movements around him, relying on his own memories and feelings, and walked towards the room where Shen Bihuan lived.
In the cold palace, it was in tatters, the original carved beams and paintings had long since disappeared, only the broken walls and ruins after the mottled years, the spider webs all over the surroundings made people frown, and there was a rotten musty smell in the air, full of the tip of the nose of the dust, but she didn't realize it.
