Qiao Wei's memory of these two things is still fresh. After all, when she pretended to be "Xue Rongrong" to spy on the enemy, she almost died in the hands of that person, and that person was an indistinguishable voice, and the weapon was a red silk.
That person is from the Saintess Hall, although it is not known whether it is the Saintess or the Saintess, but after the Saintess Hall is annihilated, all those people should also be wiped out.
Is there another fish that slipped through the net
No, there is no one who slipped through the net in the Temple of the Holy Maiden, unless that person is not from the Temple of the Holy Maiden at all—
"What are you thinking?" the eldest disciple asked.
Qiao Wei said: "I was thinking, I once saw a person with an indistinguishable voice and a red ribbon, I thought the other person was dead, but after hearing what you said, I think the other person is very likely Still alive."
The eldest disciple asked, "Have you seen his dead body with your own eyes?"
Qiao Wei nodded, then shook her head again: "I thought she was a saint or a certain saint. They are all dead. If they are their bodies, then I have seen them."
"What if it's not one of them?" the eldest disciple asked subconsciously.
Qiao Wei thought for a while and said, "If it's not one of them, then he must still be alive. She has colluded with the Holy Maiden Hall, and is also entangled with your National Teacher Hall. I suddenly became curious, where is she?" Holy? How can you come and go freely between Yinzu and Yeluo?"
These questions are not something that the eldest disciple can answer. Of course, Qiao Wei didn't expect his answer, but just muttered to herself.
Intuition told Qiao Wei that they were already very close to the so-called truth, and even faintly touched the barrier of the truth, but this barrier was like a dream, and it was impossible to break through it for a while.
Once it is broken, everything will be revealed.
"How long has that man been gone?" Qiao Wei asked.
The eldest disciple said: "He left after you came, not long ago."
Qiao Wei's eyes flickered: "So, he should still be in the palace."
Come on, Qiao Wei picked up the medicine box and stepped out the door.
The eldest disciple quickly caught up with her: "Hey! Don't you show it to my master? Is my master still injured?!"
Qiao Wei said lightly: "Your master asked for it on his own. Who told him to come and plot against the Ji family? He counted himself into it, and asked the Ji family to wipe his ass? Is there such a good thing in the world? "
The eldest disciple said anxiously: "But you are not..."
"What about us?" Qiao Wei interrupted him, "We only said that you stole the secret book and spared his life, but we didn't say you wanted to save his life, besides, you haven't got the secret book yet! What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me here?!"
The eldest disciple was choked to the point of being speechless.
The top priority is to retrieve the secret book as soon as possible. Qiao Wei has no time to spend with the master and apprentice, so she hurried out of the Changhuan Palace and walked quickly towards the imperial study.
The emperor also knew about the poisoning of meditation. When Qiao Wei told the emperor the whereabouts of the secret book, the emperor blocked the four palace gates without saying a word, and strengthened the patrolling guards in the palace to find the ancient book of Yeluo presented by the Ji family. Because of this, they searched extensively in the palace.
That person is very likely to disguise himself as a court lady and eunuch and go out, so the palace gate has also strengthened the manpower, and strictly interrogated anyone who enters and exits the palace. The royal family members must also accept the interrogation before they can be released safely.
Everything is in full swing.
After General Duo Luo went north, he took away several confidantes of the Ministry of War. Some positions in the Ministry of War were vacant, and King Yin was transferred there. It is rare.
After finishing the business at hand, the sky is getting dark.
King Yin arranged the booklets and books neatly, and there was no mess on the table, so he stood up and prepared to go back to the house.
As soon as he reached the door, a court lady hurried over: "My lord!"
Prince Yin recognized her as Concubine Rong's close maid: "What's the matter so flustered? Something happened to my concubine mother?"
The maid said nervously: "Concubine Rong fainted just now!"
Prince Yin's complexion changed drastically, and he hurried to Concubine Rong's bedroom.
Concubine Rong's condition was not very good, she was lying down with her eyes closed, her complexion was as pale as a piece of wax paper, her breath was weak, her hands and feet were cold.
King Yin came to the bed and held her hand: "Mother! What's wrong with you, mother? Wake up!"
Concubine Rong didn't respond.
King Yin pinched her, she woke up leisurely, lifted her heavy eyelids to look at King Yin, and said weakly: "You are here..."
King Yin looked at her half-dead look, and said distressedly: "You can't live here any longer! I'm going to ask my father to let you and me go back to Prince Yin's mansion to recuperate!"
Concubine Rong smiled weakly, and said: "I'm fine, it's just an old problem, I'll be fine after a night of sleep."
King Yin's big palm covered her forehead: "Is the cinnabar used last time useless? Why are you getting weaker and weaker instead?"
Concubine Rong smiled and sighed: "So it's getting better, it's just now... I squatted for too long while watering the flowers, so I got a little dizzy, what's the fuss about? Last time you scolded this girl, it hurts Make her a frightened bird."
King Yin snorted coldly: "This is what a slave should do. If she doesn't come to report to me today, I will find out in the future. I must drive her out of the palace!"
The maid lowered her head in fear.
Concubine Rong said angrily, "Look at your fiery temper, who did you follow?"
King Yin hesitated to speak, but he couldn't bear to argue with Concubine Rong, so he asked the maid to pour a cup of hot tea and feed it to Concubine Rong himself.
Concubine Rong's breath became smoother, and she urged Prince Yin to return to the palace.
King Yin didn't return.
Concubine Rong sighed: "You are also a father, how can you spend it outside all the time? The child's mother has returned to the clan and entrusted the child to you. You should take good care of it."
It's okay not to mention those little brats, but if you mention it, King Yin's head will get bigger.
If it wasn't for his own birth, he would have locked them up in a cage long ago!
"Go back." Concubine Rong urged.
King Yin was about to speak when there was a commotion outside.
"Go and see what's going on." King Yin said to the maid.
The maid obediently complied, walked away with small steps, turned back after a while, and reported: "If you go back to the empress and the prince, it is the emperor's things that have been lost, and they are sending people to search around."
King Yin frowned suspiciously: "What?"
The palace lady said: "It seems that the ancient Yeluowen book presented to the emperor by the Prime Minister has been stolen, and the thief is being hunted down to find the ancient book."
King Yin said seriously: "My mother and concubine don't have anything that my father wants, you let them leave, don't disturb the purity of my mother and concubine."
The maid said in embarrassment: "Impossible, my lord, they even searched the emperor's bedroom, and the imperial concubine's. We are no exception here."
"What kind of ancient books are so precious? Even the imperial father's own bedroom has to be searched?" Prince Yin muttered, although he was displeased, but the imperial father's own bedroom was searched, and the one who checked the imperial concubine Rong had nothing to say "Since that's the case, go and ask them to come in... Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Halfway through the conversation, King Yin noticed something was wrong with Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong said to the maid: "You step back first, tell them that I need to change, and ask them to wait for a while."
"Yes, empress!" The maid withdrew and gently closed the door.
King Yin looked at Concubine Rong: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Concubine Rong glanced uneasily at the closed door.
King Yin understood and said to her: "There is no one outside the door, what do you want to say, just say it."
Concubine Rong grabbed King Yin's hand, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes: "Yin'er... Mom, I'm sorry for you... I'm sorry for your father..."
King Yin was slightly taken aback: "Mother, what are you talking about?"
Concubine Rong lowered her eyes and said in a panic, "You can't let them find it..."
"Mother, the more I listen, the more confused I become. Why can't they find it?" Prince Yin smiled, "Don't tell me, you took that ancient book."
Concubine Rong shook her head, a tangled look appeared in her eyes, finally she gritted her teeth and said, "There is a small box in the cabinet over there, go and take out the contents."
King Yin got up and went, opened the wardrobe, opened the box, and took out a red dress. If you look closely, it looks like a folk wedding dress, but the style is simpler.
As an imperial concubine, she was not allowed to wear pure red in her whole life. Such things were a bit over the top.
Concubine Rong said in a low voice: "I planned to rot this secret in my stomach and bring it to the grave together after I died, but since you know it... I will tell you everything."
"Mother Concubine..."
Concubine Rong said: "I came from a humble family background, my father is just a small Beijing official, in the capital city where a single brick can kill three lords, my family's status is really nothing.
I never thought that I would enter the palace. I thought that I would be like other women in my life, marry my husband, have a few children, and live out the rest of my life in peace.
In the year when I was young, a distant relative who entered the palace draft came to my family. In order to train her to become an outstanding show girl, my father hired many teachers for her, and our sisters were also honored by this, and we were able to learn something. .
Among them was a teacher who taught calligraphy... young and handsome, elegant in speech, full of knowledge, I... I was... "
Concubine Rong paused for a moment, her face gradually turned red, "I know this is wrong, but emotional matters... are really beyond the control of people's hearts."
This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and King Yin was stunned on the spot.
Concubine Rong took a deep breath: "We... have been in private for a long time. He said he wanted to marry me, and I agreed. He went to find your grandfather. Although your grandfather was very angry, he was from a good background, and he treated me very well." Sincerely, your grandfather accepted this marriage after being angry for a few days.
He immediately went back to his hometown and told his parents about it, but I never expected that I would never wait for the day when he came back. "
King Yin asked subconsciously: "Did something happen to him? Or... his family disagreed?"
"Neither of them." Concubine Rong said sadly, "It's a distant relative of the draftee, who suffered a sudden illness and couldn't enter the palace, so the family... let me take over."
King Yin was dumbfounded.
This kind of bloody thing is actually not uncommon in the harem. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but how many of them really married into the royal family
It's just that he never expected that his mother and concubine were also one of those people who were forced
He didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, shocked? disappointment? sad
Too many emotions were mixed together, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Concubine Rong choked up and said, "I sewed this wedding dress myself. I was only halfway through it when I heard that I was going to enter the palace... I brought it into the palace. After so many years, I still haven't finished sewing it." The other half... Yin'er, I know you are very angry. I shouldn't be obsessed with another man after becoming your father's concubine, but my heart for you is true. It's all your mother, you are my only son!"
King Yin held back and clenched his fist.
Concubine Rong's tears filled her eyes, but she tried not to let it fall: "Just this spring, he passed away, and he never remarried in his life. Can you...can you bury this wedding dress in the In front of his grave, if I can't accompany him in life, I'm afraid I won't be able to when I die, so let this dress...let me have a relationship with him!"
King Yin's fists were clenched, and the veins on his forehead burst out.
Concubine Rong glanced at Prince Yin, sniffed her nose, and wiped away her tears: "It's my mother who made things difficult for you."
Let's talk, throw the wedding dress into the basin, find a fire bag, blow it on fire and throw it on the clothes.
Seeing that the clothes caught fire, King Yin snatched it up and extinguished the flames on his cuffs with his bare hands: "Where is he buried?"
