In the dormitory, the empress left behind her attendants, told them all to wait at the door, and walked into the inner hall alone.

Walked to the side of the bed with a familiar car, opened the mechanism, and entered the secret passage from the dragon bed, and then only heard a soft sound, and the door above the dragon bed was closed again, just like before, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have thought that there was a mechanism here.

The Empress entered the entrance, followed the secret passage and walked inward, and soon came to a small secret room, in which there was nothing but a locked iron box on a table in the middle.

The Empress took the key from her purse and unlocked the iron box, only to hear a crisp sound, which was clearly audible in the silence of the chamber, and soon the box was opened.

The contents were suddenly revealed in front of the empress, and she looked at the intact things inside, and her heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous emotions were also swept away, and a heart of seven up and eight down also successfully fell into her stomach.

After closing the iron box, relocking it, and then putting the key away, the Empress took another look at the secret room, which was no different from before, and then turned around and returned to the palace along the way she had come.

No one came in the dormitory, the two attendants were still waiting in the outer hall, and after the empress came out of the secret passage on the dragon bed, she made up the bed with her own hands, so that people could not see anything unusual, and then stabilized her mind, and returned to her previous majestic appearance, and then walked out slowly.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?" the two attendants saw the empress and hurriedly stepped forward to help her, asking.

"I'm fine. The empress said, and then walked out of the palace gate, and saw Nie Xinyao guarding the door of the palace with a worried face, her eyes were looking in the direction of the palace, and her eyes were very anxious.

Seeing this, a trace of approval rose in the empress's eyes, and her good impression of Nie Xinyao rose a lot, no matter what, at such a time, this daughter was always worried about her safety.

"Mother Emperor, are you okay?" Nie Xinyao saw the empress and took the lead in stepping forward, concerned.

"No problem. The Empress nodded, and then asked, "By the way, can you find the trace of the man in black?"

"Wechen has mobilized all the forbidden troops in the palace to strictly investigate, and he has not let go of the slightest, and if there is any situation, he will immediately report to His Majesty. Hearing the empress's question, Commander Yun immediately stepped forward and said.

"Okay, there's no need to gather around here, I just went in to see it, and nothing happened, which means that this man in black is not near the dormitory, you still send someone to look elsewhere." The empress said, "Who dares to trespass into the forbidden palace in broad daylight, if you capture this person alive, I will have a great reward." ”

As the empress's words fell, Commander Yun did not delay, turned around and mobilized all the forbidden troops around the dormitory, and scattered in other directions.

"Mother Emperor, is it time to return to the Yang Ju Palace?" Seeing this, Nie Xinyao asked, "A mysterious black-clothed man suddenly appeared in this palace, and it is not safe, and Erchen thinks it is better to go back to the Yang Ju Palace and let Commander Yun send someone to protect it." In any case, the safety of the mother queen is the most important thing. ”

"You're right, the interest of visiting the garden and enjoying the flowers was disturbed by the man in black. The empress said in a low voice, "Well, you can go back to the palace with me, and I can't guarantee that this man in black is not coming for you." ”

"The retainers obeyed. Nie Xinyao bowed down and said, then followed the empress's side and went to the Yangju Palace.

The door of the dormitory was suddenly empty, only the two palace maids guarding the dormitory at the door never left.

Qingchen naturally followed behind Nie Xinyao, but when he left the door of the dormitory, he glanced back at the dormitory, some inexplicable looks flashed in his eyes, and then quickly followed, heading towards the Yangju Palace.

No one noticed that the moment the empress and all the forbidden soldiers left the dormitory, a black shadow lit their acupoints before the two palace maids could react, rushed out of the dormitory, flashed behind everyone, and drove a gust of wind, but quickly disappeared.

Qingchen and Nie Xinyao accompanied the empress in the Yangju Palace until the evening, and Commander Yun was not idle all day, leading the forbidden army to search around the palace, even the bedrooms of the harem concubines, but still no trace of the so-called man in black was found.

The empress was furious and scolded Xiaoli and Xiaojing, thinking that these two people were not good at being errands, but instead misreported the news and made everyone work hard, which was really hateful. But Xiaoli and Xiaojing immediately thought of Qingchen and pushed this matter onto Qingchen, especially Xiaoli who went to report the news.

"Your Majesty, please be clear, this matter was said by Miss Mu, she said that there was a man in black, and the slave maid was afraid that something would happen, so she hurriedly went to report to Your Majesty. Xiao Li knelt in front of the empress and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the slave can testify, what Xiao Li said is true, it was Miss Mu who said that a man in black appeared......" Xiao Jing also spoke.

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed because of the people's daughter, the people's girl knows martial arts, and the intelligence of her ears and eyes is far beyond ordinary people. Qingchen knelt down in front of the empress unhurriedly and explained, "The maiden did hear something unusual, so she said to the two girls. It's just that the two girls clearly saw that black shadow themselves, so they let Commander Yun bring people to check it, but why did they push all this matter down on the people's daughters?"

The empress listened to Qingchen's explanation, and waved her hand angrily in her heart, she didn't have time to worry about who said that there was a man in black now, because these two chamberlains did see it, no matter what, out of consideration for the safety of the palace, there was nothing wrong with Qingchen doing this, if she wanted to blame Qingchen because of this incident, I am afraid it would chill Qingchen's heart and make Nie Xinyao unhappy.

"Well, nothing has been stolen from the palace, and there have been no casualties, and the assassins haven't found it, so that's it. The Empress said, "Commander Yun, since this incident, we must strengthen the guards of the palace, and nothing like this will happen again." ”

"Wechen obeyed. Commander Yun stepped forward and spoke.

"Alright, it's not too early, you guys go back too, I'm a little tired. The Empress spoke again.

"The mother queen is resting, and the son is retiring. Nie Xinyao bowed, and then walked out of the Yangju Hall with Qingchen and Wuqin and out of the palace gate.

Along the way, several people didn't speak, and walked back to the Six Princes' Mansion quickly, Nie Xinyao sent Wu Qin to guard at the door, and called Qingchen to the study.

Seeing Nie Xinyao's anxious expression, Qingchen couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, the Minnu's subordinates have succeeded, everything is going according to plan, and there are no accidents." ”

"That's good, I'm really afraid of some chaos, after all, the number of forbidden troops is large, and Commander Yun doesn't dare to guarantee that all of them will obey her, if you meet some disobedient people and see something, it will be bad. Nie Xinyao listened to Qingchen's words, then put her mind at ease, and then raised her head and asked, "By the way, Miss Mu, how did you know that the mother emperor hid the clues of the holy land in the dormitory?"

"Actually, I'm not sure that Your Majesty hid the clues of the Holy Land in the dormitory, I tried it out. Qingchen smiled, "The reason why I didn't go to find that kind of thing myself is to let the empress bring my people to find it." ”

Qingchen said a little ambiguous, but with Nie Xinyao's mind, he quickly figured it out.

Qingchen herself was guarding the Yangju Palace, and her subordinates also appeared near the Yangju Palace, and there was another person who had already entered the dormitory when there was no one in the dormitory, hiding inside and waiting for the empress to arrive, which can be described as waiting for the rabbit.

If something is in the Residence Palace, the Empress will definitely evacuate all the forbidden troops near the Residence Palace, and will expel everyone around her, but the Empress does not, she instead asks the attendants around her to go to the Palace to find if there is anything missing, that thing is very important, with the Empress's temperament, she will never let others have a chance to contact, so the thing must not be in the Residence Palace.

Next up is the dormitory. Tomorrow first hid around the dormitory, and when he saw the empress coming, he took the first step into the dormitory, hid inside, and watched how the empress opened the mechanism, how she entered the secret passage, and how she came out, he even quietly followed the empress, and after the empress left the dormitory, he took the contents of the iron box, and then quickly left the dormitory.

Everything is unaware, Qingchen doesn't even have to find out where to put that thing himself, using the empress's suspicious personality to let the empress herself expose the location of the clues to the holy land, this is the cleverness of Qingchen's entire plan.

"The girl is really smart, but I don't know if the Queen will be suspicious when she notices that the thing is missing. Nie Xinyao asked.

"Even if you doubt it, you can't doubt it on the head of Your Highness. After all, His Highness and I have alibi, and we have not entered the palace for a single step, and there is no reason to know where to put such a thing, if it is lost, it can only show that the thieves who broke into the palace are very shrewd, this is Your Majesty's own mistake, and she will not blame anyone else. Qingchen said with a smile.

"That's right, today's hard girl, the girl's body is not good, so she works hard for the palace, and the palace is grateful. Nie Xinyao arched her hand and spoke.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be polite, this is what a folk girl should do. Qingchen said, "If His Highness has no other instructions, the people want to go back, and they don't dare to dispose of the clues of the Holy Land at will, and they are still waiting for me." ”

"Go, the Holy Land is mysterious, I hope that what we have taken painstakingly to take out from the palace is real, otherwise, it will not be so easy to use such a strategy next time. Nie Xinyao nodded.

"The things that were taken out of the empress's bedroom, and the empress herself took us to get them, I don't think there will be any leave, please rest assured, Your Highness. Qingchen said, "Now that the clues of the Holy Land are complete, the people will definitely not live up to His Highness's trust, find the location of the Holy Land, and fulfill His Highness's wish." ”
