After all, the matter of holding Yu has become a thing of the past, Qingchen promised Feng Xiran not to interfere, at most she only sent Yan Guilou to investigate secretly, so she never intervened in this matter again, except for Ye Di going to Yan Guilou every day to tell Qingchen about the situation of Ji Yu, she did not spend extra energy.

Qingchen knew what her current focus was, so she went to Nie Xinyao's study, but saw that Nie Xinyao was really waiting for her in the study.

"When I sent someone to invite the girl earlier, the girl's subordinates said that the girl was unwell, I don't know if she is better at this time?

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, it's no longer a problem, I came so late, I annoyed Your Highness for waiting for a long time, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness. Qingchen bowed his head and saluted, saying so.

The two exchanged a few more words, and Nie Xinyao got to the point, beckoning to Qingchen, letting Qingchen walk to the side of the desk and look at the things on the desk.

"This was sent by Commander Yun in the morning, when I got this topographic map of the imperial city, I wanted to find the girl to come to discuss, but I didn't expect to disturb the girl's rest. Nie Xinyao said.

"This is a map of the palace, and with such things, it is much more convenient for us to be in the palace. Qingchen's gaze fell on the map and he said.

In fact, she had the map sent by Xiao Yi in her hand, but she couldn't let Nie Xinyao know, otherwise Nie Xinyao would be even more suspicious of her identity. After all, she is only a small staff member now, even if Nie Xinyao knows that she is the former Heavenly Star ** Master Mu Ye, she will not think of another layer of identity behind her.

In the eyes of Nie Xinyao and others, she is at most smarter and more thoughtful than others, but she is not as powerful as this, and she can even get a topographic map of the palace, not to mention, on the map of the parchment scroll, there is also a drawing of the secret passage of the palace in southern Xinjiang.

"Yes, Hongu thinks so too. Nie Xinyao said, "The girl has been in southern Xinjiang for so long, the number of times she has entered the palace is limited, and she is very unfamiliar with the palace. It just so happened that the Cloud Commander sent this map, and it was very timely. ”

Qingchen nodded, didn't speak, just looked at the map on the table, his fingers slowly slid towards the palace from the palace gate, and looked at it very carefully.

In fact, she was already familiar with the layout of the entire palace, but she couldn't let Nie Xinyao see it, so she could only act in front of Nie Xinyao. After reading the map like this, Qingchen raised his head, looked at Nie Xinyao, and said:

"This map is detailed and clear at a glance, I remember the general distribution, but I don't know, this palace is so big, where is the most likely place to hide clues?"

"We don't even know what the clues look like now, and we don't know where to look for them. Nie Xinyao replied.

"Judging from the previous maps, most of them are hidden in calligraphy and paintings, as well as textures and boxes, so everything similar to the texture in the palace may be a clue to the holy land. Qingchen said, "Just like that, the scope is too wide, the palace is so big, it's not easy to find, it's better for Your Highness to try to think about where the most secret or safest places in the palace are, let's sort these places, and then go to find them." ”

"That's right. Nie Xinyao was deeply impressed by Qingchen's words, and after she glanced at the map again, she stretched out her hand and pointed to a few places, "Here, here and here, it should be a place with a greater possibility, if the clues of the Holy Land are really in the palace, and the mother emperor knows, it should be in these places." ”

Qingchen looked in the direction Nie Xinyao pointed out, and saw the three places marked on the map, which were the empress's bedroom, the Yangju Hall where the review and folds were reviewed on weekdays, and the Scripture Pavilion in the palace.

Seeing these three places, Qingchen couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, and shook his head slightly, this empress, hiding things coincides with Xiao Ling, she doesn't trust others, she only believes in herself, and important things are also placed in these three places.

The dormitory and the palace are often there for the empress on weekdays, but the Scripture Pavilion is guarded by heavy soldiers, and maybe there are some hidden weapons set up inside, even if it is not as exquisite as the Scripture Pavilion of the Ningyue Kingdom, but it is not easy to break the game.

"Your Highness, where does it feel that the most likely?" Qingchen looked at the distance between the three places and asked, but in his heart he was secretly calculating how to search to get the result he wanted in the shortest possible time.

"The mother emperor is suspicious by nature and refuses to trust others easily, and the third emperor sister was favored by her side, which was also the result of years of hard work. If you look at it this way, the mother emperor will definitely not put this thing in the scripture pavilion. Nie Xinyao pointed to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, then slid her finger back and forth on the map, and said, "Because there is a certain distance between the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and the Yangju Palace, as well as the mother emperor's bedroom, it is not under the mother's nose, she has always been untrustworthy." ”

"In this way, the Scripture Pavilion can be ruled out. Qingchen asked with an eyebrow.

"It should be. Nie Xinyao nodded, "Besides, many years ago, I inadvertently broke into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion once, but I was arrested by the previous commander of the forbidden army and sent to the mother emperor for punishment. But at that time, I clearly remembered that the scripture pavilion that was supposed to be dotted with treasures was empty. ”

"Why is that?" Qingchen frowned, puzzled.

"Probably it's me, the suspicious mother emperor, who can't trust the mechanism of the Scripture Pavilion, so she transferred the things inside, moved them to a place she felt was credible, and took care of them herself. Nie Xinyao smiled bitterly, "Therefore, the clue to the Holy Land may end up in the Yangju Palace, or the Mother Emperor's bedroom." ”

When Qingchen heard this, he recalled the map that Xiao Yi gave her in his mind, searched for the specific information of the palace and the dormitory, and found that in the dormitory where the empress lives now, there is really an unknown secret passage, just below the empress's dragon bed, the dragon bed is the entrance, no wonder no one has found it for so many years, because no one would have thought that the empress **** would sleep at the entrance of this secret passage.

When you think about it, you can probably tell where to put it.

"I'll leave it to me to find something, but Your Highness, can you find a way to lure Her Majesty out of the Residence Hall or the Sleeping Palace? Qingchen asked.

"There is a way, Commander Yun will cooperate with me when the time comes, but I can't support it for long, even if the mother emperor is not in the palace, she will definitely send someone to the palace or the palace to check, those people do not belong to the forbidden army, they are the direct subordinates of the mother emperor, and Commander Yun has no way to transfer. ”

Nie Xinyao nodded and said so, but her eyes were full of worry when she looked at Qingchen.

"Does Your Highness know when those people went to investigate? If there is any trace, I will make corresponding arrangements so that Your Majesty will not find out. Qingchen asked.

"In this way, don't be in a hurry, I'll go to Commander Yun to inquire, and after I have inquired, I'll discuss it with the girl. Nie Xinyao said.

Qingchen nodded and agreed, and then the two said some innocuous words, and Qingchen retreated and left Nie Xinyao's study.

Back in his room, Qingchen took out the parchment scroll that Xiao Yi gave her again, compared it with the map he saw in Nie Xinyao's study today, compared the two, and quickly judged an effective route in his heart, how to enter the empress's bedroom, how to enter the palace, and how to retreat in the end.

Nie Xinyao didn't let Qingchen wait long, but the next day she told Qingchen more details about the situation in the palace, and agreed with Qingchen that when she entered the palace in three days, she would find a way to take the empress away, and Qingchen was responsible for finding things.

After determining the time, Qingchen ordered the night and tomorrow to act at that time, after all, none of the empress's subordinates who had never shown themselves in front of her could not figure out the details, so in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, she had to be covered.

Nightshade and Tomorrow each understood their respective responsibilities, so they also gathered around the dusty table, looked at the map in her hand carefully, and planned the evacuation route to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Finally waited until three days later, Nie Xinyao went to greet the empress and took Qingchen and Wuqin into the palace together.

Because it was an edict to enter the palace, Nie Xinyao and his party were not blocked by the guards at the door, but went to the Yangju Hall to meet the empress very smoothly, Qingchen followed Nie Xinyao to the empress and saluted, and then stood very quietly aside.

The empress let Nie Xinyao enter the palace, and there was nothing too important, that is, to pick some major events in the court's politics, and asked Nie Xinyao's opinions and suggestions, and the two discussed how to manage southern Xinjiang. After all, among all the empress's daughters, the others are useless, and only Nie Xinyao in front of her is still a talent.

After the political affairs were finished, the empress was about to open her mouth to ask Nie Xinyao to step back, but Nie Xinyao took the first step to speak:

"Mother, since you came back from Gucheng Mountain, you haven't had a good rest, and the injuries on your body have not fully recovered, today while the sons have time, the sun outside is just right, and the mother emperor is invited to appreciate his face, and allow the sons to accompany the mother emperor to take a walk outside, it should be regarded as cultivating the body and mind and eliminating fatigue. ”

After listening to Nie Xinyao's words, the empress smiled knowingly, and then said: "You still have a heart, for so long, no one has said such a thing to me." Anyway, since you have said it, I can't refute your face, and I will go out for a walk with you. ”

Seeing that the empress agreed, Nie Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, walked to the empress's side, personally supported the empress, and walked side by side towards the outside of the palace with the empress, and when she left, she turned her head to look at Qingchen and gave her a look.

Wu Qin naturally followed Nie Xinyao, and the attendants around the empress also followed, and in an instant, there were two inner servants and Qingchen left in the entire Yangju Palace.

Because of the incident in Gucheng Mountain, these two chamberlains knew Qingchen, and knew that Qingchen had been ordered by His Royal Highness Six to protect the empress, and because of this woman, the empress did not fall into the hands of the assassins in Gucheng Mountain.

"Girl, why don't you go to the Imperial Garden with the Sixth Highness?"
