As early as during the duel, Qiao Wei wanted to see what the Ghost King, who had pinned her down with one move, looked like, but this guy was wearing a mask, which he couldn't take off until he died, so it's okay now? Was it exposed by my aunt
Let my aunt see what the hell you look like!
Qiao Wei blew on the torch again, and pointed it at the ghost king's face.
"Ma'am!"
Suddenly there was a voice from the palace maid greeting her.
Qiao Wei was so startled that her hands trembled, and all the fire folders fell off!
She said why Concubine Rong has been running with her, dare Concubine Rong was originally going to come to this place, is this unlucky for people to drink water and get stuffed between their teeth? Is it easy for her to run away? She even escaped into Concubine Rong's "lair"!
No matter what, Concubine Rong can't find out, otherwise, even if Concubine Rong doesn't do anything to her, it is absolutely impossible for her to have a chance to meet the emperor.
With a flash of thought, Qiao Wei put the mask back on the ghost king's face indiscriminately, then picked up the fire folder that had been extinguished, turned over neatly, and lay on the other side of the coffin.
Now, I can only pray that Concubine Rong will not bypass the coffin and come here...
The floor on the top was opened, and a faint light came in. Qiao Wei closed her eyes tightly, trying to minimize the sense of existence.
The next moment, the floor was closed again, but there was still light in the room, it was Concubine Rong who took out a luminous pearl and gently placed it on the lamp holder.
The luminous pearl is not small, but it is not big, and the light is quite weak. Qiao Wei can be sure that as long as Concubine Rong doesn't look carefully at the side of the coffin, she will not be found.
Concubine Rong sat down on the stool in front of the coffin and coughed lightly a few times.
Qiao Wei smelled a faint smell of blood, raised her eyebrows, did Concubine Rong cough up blood
That's right, Concubine Rong was injured by her mother when she manipulated the puppet to frame her father, Concubine Rong must have suffered backlash.
Qiao Wei listened carefully.
Concubine Rong wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and stared at the person in the coffin.
In fact, Qiao Wei was lying on the ground and couldn't see Concubine Rong's appearance clearly, but she could feel the repressed sorrow on Concubine Rong.
It's really strange, isn't it just a dead man? Is it necessary to be so sad
Besides, instead of being sad, shouldn't she be angry
Could it be that she used this dead man with emotion
Qiao Wei was amused by her own thoughts. Concubine Rong has raised King Yin for more than 20 years and has not developed any feelings. How is it possible for a dead man
"That woman is trickier than I imagined, but it doesn't matter, I will definitely find a way to deal with her."
It was Concubine Rong who made a sullen voice.
Qiao Wei's eyeballs moved slightly, the woman Rong Fei was talking about was her mother, right
You haven't suffered enough, and you still want to deal with her mother? Really overwhelmed!
"When I have my revenge, I will take you away. Let's go to a place where there is no one."
Wait, why is this style of painting a bit wrong? !
"I know you've always wanted to go there, I'll take you there, just bear with it, just for a few days."
After finishing speaking, Concubine Rong stretched out her hand and caressed his cold and stiff mask. Suddenly, realizing that the mask was not tight, she frowned and stood up vigilantly: "Who is it?!"
Qiao Wei's heart slammed into her throat.
Concubine Rong looked at the empty ice cellar vigilantly, stood up coldly, and walked towards the other side of the coffin.
Qiao Wei clenched the dagger in her wide sleeve.
Just when Concubine Rong was about to go around the coffin, the floor on top was pushed away, and Fu Ling's anxious voice came down: "Your Majesty!"
"What's wrong?" Concubine Rong asked in a deep voice.
Fu Ling said: "I was knocked out in the orchard just now! The maids said that someone exactly like me came in!"
Concubine Rong's complexion changed immediately, and she glanced at the other side of the coffin, but she didn't see anything unusual, she went up the stairs and got out of the ice cellar.
At the end of the coffin, Qiao Wei hugged her small body tightly, shrinking there like a little ball of hair.
After confirming that the floor was closed, Concubine Rong and Fu Ling had already walked away, she let out a long sigh of relief, raised her sleeves, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Now, no one should bother her, right
Qiao Wei took out the fire folder again, and blew the fire brightly. Under the firelight, the Ghost King lay upright in the cold coffin, looking as if he was asleep.
Qiao Wei slowly took off his mask, and the warm firelight immediately fell on his face. Qiao Wei finally saw the face clearly, but she was so shocked that she almost fell down.
How does this person look... he looks like this
Not to mention the blue-faced fangs, but they are almost the same.
With such a face, how did Concubine Rong speak such tender words? Is she blind
Qiao Wei rubbed her heart, she must have made a mistake, this person may be a relative of Concubine Rong, such as a brother, brother, son or something, no wonder the age gap is so large, it is because this face looks too weird, She can't deduce age at all!
Taking a deep breath, she decisively removed the ghost king's face from her mind, and then put on a mask for the ghost king. When she put on the mask, she glanced at the red thing on the ghost king's neck. He was wearing bronze armor. The rope looked out of place.
Qiao Wei pulled out the red rope and found a piece, to be precise, half of a jade pendant hanging on it.
The incision of this jade pendant is incomplete, as if it was broken by life.
Qiao Wei wasn't very interested in the Ghost King's accessories. After putting the jade pendant back into his armor, she hurried out of the ice cellar.
I have never been so afraid of seeing the dead...
After thinking about it, isn't the ghost king a dead person
…
Ganlu Hall began to search for people. Qiao Wei thought about it. With such a big incident in the palace, the emperor has probably been controlled by Concubine Rong. As for the degree of control, whether it is poison or voodoo, it has to be checked face to face. up.
Carefully avoiding the search of the palace guards, Qiao Wei climbed up to the roof and came to the backyard without a sound. She lay on the roof, sticking out a pair of eyes, looking at the movement below.
The emperor was sitting on a wicker chair covered with tiger skin, and Concubine Rong was tenderly beside him. His face was slightly paler than before, as if he was sick.
"What happened just now?" asked the emperor.
Concubine Rong said softly: "That girl Fu Ling lost the bracelet that the emperor bestowed on the concubine, and I'm afraid someone who is not good at it took it away, and she is searching one by one."
"En." The emperor responded, obviously not taking this matter to heart anymore.
Qiao Wei touched her chin in wonder, the emperor looks sober, it doesn't look like he's being controlled by someone...
"Your Majesty, are you feeling better?" Concubine Rong asked extremely softly.
The emperor said: "It's much better, and I should be able to go to court tomorrow."
Concubine Rong hurriedly said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, you fainted yesterday. The imperial doctor said that you should not work hard and you have to rest for seven or eight days to recover. How can you not listen to the imperial doctor? Or you... don't worry about it. Are you dealing with the affairs of the harem? If so, the concubine should let the virtuous, and ask the concubine to preside over the overall situation."
The imperial concubine fell ill as early as the first day you regained favor, can you come forward to preside over the overall situation? There is no one who retreats as a means of advancing.
Sure enough, Qiao Wei heard the emperor say: "The imperial concubine is not healthy, please work harder, I will leave everything in the harem to you."
Concubine Rong stood up and saluted slowly: "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best."
The emperor pondered again: "By the way, when I was taking a nap yesterday, I heard a faint noise outside, but what happened?"
Concubine Rong sighed slightly, and said: "The concubine is about to report this matter to the emperor."
The emperor looked at her: "Oh? What happened?"
Concubine Rong said in fear: "Yesterday, a group of unknown assassins came to the palace and robbed King Yin from the dungeon. Fortunately, Mrs. Ji arrived in time and rescued King Yin from the thief, but the thief was so powerful." , chasing after Mrs. Ji, the dead men of the National Teacher Hall came to help, but were also killed by the thief. In order to protect King Yin and Mrs. Ji, the eunuch Qin and the guards of the Royal Forest Army were all met by the thief. Finally, It was Mrs. Qiao who arrived in time to repel the thief. Mrs. Qiao broke through the palace wall, but she is also eager to save people, so I ask the emperor not to blame her."
Tsk tsk tsk, look at this ability to reverse right and wrong, I really can't help but admire it!
"I didn't expect Mrs. Qiao to come to Daliang." Compared with the thieves breaking into the palace, the emperor was the most surprised by this incident.
Concubine Rong echoed: "Yes, she is here. When the emperor recovers, should we announce her to the palace?"
"Yeah." The emperor nodded in agreement, "How are King Yin and Qiao's doing? Are you injured?"
Concubine Rong smiled and said: "Mrs. Qiao arrived in time, and the two of them were not hurt by the thief, but... King Yin suffered a lot of torture in prison, and his internal injuries were serious. The concubine dared to ask Mrs. Ji to take her away." Take it to the Ganoderma lucidum hall to recuperate."
Speaking of this, Concubine Rong knelt down slowly, "The concubine made her own claims and violated the holy will, please punish the emperor."
The emperor waved his hands and sighed: "Forget it, you are also eager to love your son, and besides, he has been hunted down to the dungeon, and it is not safe to come to the dungeon."
Concubine Rong was supported by the emperor and sat back on the chair: "The concubine's return to favor is mostly because people can't sit still, it's the concubine who harmed him."
Do you dare to listen to what your old man means, that he ran to harm your son because he was jealous of you
Hearing this, Qiao Wei admired this old hag so much. What kind of saintess and saintess, what kind of little stepmother, compared to her, she was so weak, she was as shameless as she was, More importantly, both she and King Yin are still alive and well, isn't she afraid that she and King Yin will rush to the emperor to confront her
Oh, I almost forgot, King Yin is a filial son, so he is not willing to expose her.
If there is only one side of the story, the emperor may not believe it.
This old and cunning Concubine Rong!
…
Since the emperor is not under control, there is no need to stay any longer.
The emperor's distrust of Concubine Rong back then led Concubine Rong to be a servant for twenty years. Now, he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would wrongly blame Concubine Rong again, so if he wanted to get Concubine Rong off his horse, he needed extremely conclusive evidence.
But that stupid donkey who gave birth to King Yin is not open to life and death!
I'm so mad at my aunt!
Qiao Wei pulled off the mask on her face depressedly, and walked down the sparsely populated palace road with a dark face.
Suddenly, she felt someone following her, and with a flick of her eyes, she clenched the dagger in her wide sleeve.
The man got closer and closer, stretched out his hand, and patted her arm.
She turned around sharply and attacked the opponent's neck. The man turned sideways to avoid her attack.
Afterwards, she saw the other person's face clearly, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "Prince?"
The crown prince clasped her wrist and dragged her away from a cluster of flowers. Fu Ling led a group of maids to walk quickly from the path ahead: "You guys, go over there and look for it. You guys come with me." !"
"yes."
The maids scattered like birds and beasts.
Fu Ling led the three little maids to the orchard that had just been attacked.
After confirming that the person was gone, the prince let go of Qiao Wei's wrist, and Qiao Wei and Qiao Wei stood up from behind the flowers.
Qiao Wei looked at him strangely.
"Look at what?" the prince asked lightly.
"Look at you..." Qiao Wei looked around, "Where did you come from?"
The prince said: "Don't worry about it."
Qiao Wei shrugged her shoulders, saying that she didn't care if she didn't care about it: "I didn't see you when such a big incident happened in the palace, and I thought what happened to you."
The prince did not speak.
He is a man of few words, and Qiao Wei has long been familiar with it. One day he can chat with her like a normal person, that will be the real sun rising.
Thinking of something, Qiao Wei asked him again: "Did you hear what happened yesterday?"
"No." said the prince.
Qiao Wei was disappointed.
But he heard him say again: "I saw it."
Qiao Wei was taken aback!
There is even a witness!
"What did you see?"
"I saw Concubine Rong and killed them."
"You mean the Royal Guards?"
"Um."
Qiao Wei gritted her teeth: "Sure enough, Concubine Rong did something good!" After a pause, she looked at the prince and said, "You came to me to tell me this? Or... are you willing to report on Rong in front of your father?" concubine?"
The prince gave Qiao Wei an indescribable look.
Qiao Wei actually had the illusion that she was despised by this brat!
The prince said expressionlessly: "I came to you to tell you something about Concubine Rong."
Qiao Wei frowned, looking at the prince indistinctly.
"Why do you look at me like that?" the prince asked.
Qiao Wei rubbed her chin: "I have known His Highness the Crown Prince for so long, and what I have said together is not as much as the half cup of tea just now."
"Do you want to listen?" the prince asked lightly.
Qiao Wei said without thinking: "Yes, of course! What do you want to tell me about her?"
The prince pondered for a moment: "One of her secrets, come with me."
