Chapter 267: Entering the Palace at Night
In addition to collecting materials, Mu Qing also has a purpose for this big purchase. It's to find out the news about the all-magic elixir.
He really asked.
According to the owner of a shop, there was really a mortal who came to sell this pill, and the boss felt strange at that time, although he didn't buy the pill, he sent someone to keep an eye on it, and found that this person actually walked to the root of the imperial city, found a hidden corner, and changed into a golden armor.
This golden armor can only be worn by the Imperial City Guards.
So, the goal has been clear - the palace!
It turned out that Mu Qing judged that those all-spirit troops were related to the high-level of Yunguo, and now that they were involved in the palace, it seemed that this high-level was either a relative of the emperor, or the queen concubine, or the emperor himself.
Thinking of that emperor, Mu Qing still remembered that his name was Yun Junyuan, and he vaguely remembered his appearance, more than elegant, not enough mighty, and a sluggish state of insufficient kidney qi due to excessive profligacy and "Ri Li Wanji".
......
When he returned to Huixian Residence, Mu Qing gathered everyone together and began to discuss going to the palace.
Everyone knows that the royal family of this cloud country is inextricably linked with the immortal cultivation world, and there is an unwritten rule in the immortal cultivation world, that is, you can't interfere in mortal affairs, at the very least, you can't interfere explicitly.
Therefore, this trip to the palace still has to be carried out in secret.
Mu Qing asked Yan Wei to stay, afraid that he would have a hot temper and make a mess, so he looked at Shi Yan and then at Yan Tianxin, but decided to let Yan Tianxin stay and look at Yan Wei.
Yan Wei's face was unhappy, but he lost his temper when Yan Tianxin said, "Brother Yan, you have to be obedient".
So, everyone deliberated in detail and decided to visit the palace at night tonight!
......
It's night.
Dark clouds cover the moon, the sea of stars has no light, the autumn breeze is blowing, and the jackdaws return to their nests. It can really be described as a murderous night in the dark moon, and the wind is high and the day is on fire!
A figure came out from under a rockery in the backyard of the palace, and with a wave of his hand, it seemed to be wearing a cloak, and the whole figure disappeared instantly.
It was Mu Qing who draped the cloak made of Yueyin silk on his body.
He looked around, found a direction, and his body moved, out of the rockery.
The size of this palace is not only large in the area, but also in the height and height of the buildings.
After some discussion, Mu Qing and the others were afraid that there would be monks from the Yin Puppet Sect or the Dan Sect who were hidden in the palace, and they were afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so they did not dare to easily release their divine sense to investigate, and even suppressed the fluctuations of spiritual power to the lowest and sneaked in from different directions.
Mu Qing came in and went directly to the center of the back garden. He made many detours along the labyrinthine corridor and road, evaded more than a dozen patrolling guards, and finally came to a small courtyard that looked like a kitchen with a stick of incense.
Two palace maids are carrying lanterns, and the other is busy in front of the pot.
The palace maid who carried the lantern sighed lightly and said, "The nobleman's body is getting weaker and weaker, and he hasn't slept well these days. ”
Another palace maid put a delicate small bowl on a vermilion lacquer tray, stretched out her hand to hold it, and said: "Those who didn't come in envy those noble concubines and maiden mothers, who knows that once they enter the palace gate, they are as deep as the sea, and how many of them can have a good death?"
The palace maid carrying the lantern said: "What my sister said is true, but the nobleman is obviously very favored, but he wants to be angry with His Majesty, now it's okay, even we are implicated." He added: "Your Majesty hasn't been here for a few months, and I don't know if I will come tonight." ”
The palace maid picked up the tray, a trace of worry appeared on her face, but she said: "We must know more things, and say less! We can't control the master's affairs, just be careful." ”
The palace maid carrying the lantern said again: "Sister, I can't be angry, obviously you and I are in the noble room, but the cold 'tabula rasa' came and squeezed us out and used us as miscellaneous maids." ”
The palace maid who served the plate glared at her and said, "You don't listen to what I say, be careful with your tongue." ”
The palace maid with the lantern stuck out her tongue in fright, hurriedly stopped her mouth, took the first step, and showed the way for each other, and the two walked slowly along a path.
Listening to what these two people said, it seemed that they were decocting medicine to an emperor's little wife.
Mu Qing didn't have a specific goal at the moment, and after turning around for a long time, he only saw these two people who spoke, and said in his heart: Just follow these two little palace maids to take a look, maybe the emperor Lao'er will come to this noble man for the night today.
With this in mind, he followed the two of them away.
After passing through several floors across the courtyard, you will arrive at a palace, see that the regulations are much shorter than the palaces that passed before, but the courtyard is full of green plants and various flowers and trees, dozens of bonsai are pruned very exquisitely, which shows the exquisite mind of the owner here.
The two maidens sent the lacquer plate into the main hall in the middle, and then withdrew, gently closed the door, and returned to the side room where they lived.
The lights in the main hall had not yet been extinguished, and the silhouette of a delicate woman was reflected in the window.
As soon as Mu Qing's figure twisted, he went to the window and pricked up his ears to listen.
I only heard a cold voice say: "Green nobleman, the medicine has been taken, drink it quickly!"
Green nobleman?
Mu Qing's heart moved when he heard this, there are really not many surnames Green, except for Lu Ying, he really hasn't met anyone with the surname Green again, could it be that this Lu Guiren is actually Lu Ying's sister?
It can't be such a coincidence!
The green nobleman's voice was pleasant, but very calm, and said: "I have a heart disease, you go and tell Your Majesty, let me see Yingying, and my illness will naturally be cured!"
The word "Yingying" entered his ears, and Mu Qing's ears were like a muffled thunder!
This thing is also a bit outrageous!
This nobleman's surname is Green, and Lu Ying is also surnamed Green, and this nobleman's first sentence mentioned Yingying, is that what he refers to Lu Ying?
Thinking of this, several images suddenly appeared in Mu Qing's mind:
The first picture is the first time I saw Lu Ying who showed the appearance of a woman, and it was also in this cloud city, at that time, Lu Ying seemed to be very eager to take her away.
The second is that the two of them watched a play in Gufeng City that day, and the green pear blossoms said with rain that if she was gone, would they go to find her, would they miss her.
The third, also in Gufeng City, Lu Ying squeezed into the crowd to look at the emperor list with a solemn face, the content of the emperor list is to say that the old emperor is critically ill, please return to take over the throne as soon as possible for the prince who is traveling outside.
These pictures gradually merge into one, and a clear judgment is made!
Lu Ying, it turned out to be a royal family!
It should have a lot to do with the green noble man in the house in front of him! And listening to the tone of this green nobleman, Lu Ying is now in the palace, and it seems that he is controlled by the emperor and does not let the two of them meet!
Thinking of this, Mu Qing secretly exclaimed lucky, this is a crooked fight, and he wanted to check the whole elixir, but he heard Lu Ying's whereabouts.
So, why was Lu Ying controlled by the emperor? Will there be danger? If there is really danger, then he will definitely come to the rescue!
I only heard the cold voice of the woman speak, sneered, and said: "I think you still dismissed this idea! In the past few days, it will be a critical time, and when the French style is finished, you will naturally see her!"
The sound of "pop" is the sound of the porcelain bowl falling to the ground. Lu Guiren's voice trembled a little, and he said, "I don't know who you are! However, this Cloud Country still belongs to Your Majesty! I can't help you treacherous people do anything wrong!"
The woman let out a chuckle and said, "Green Guiren, I think you have misunderstood, it's not what we have to do, but your majesty, begging us for help! Of course, he will also pay some price!"
At this moment, the green nobleman seemed to be stunned and could no longer speak.
Mu Qing outside the window had slowly probed his divine sense into the room, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the woman who was talking to the green nobleman turned out to be a monk in the early stage of agility!
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Mu Qing's mouth, the glutton was ready to go!
