"Empress," Miao Qiao whispered into Yin Hongying's ear: "He doesn't know how to be arrogant around the second prince. He becomes lawless relying on the second prince's love for him. He doesn't know how a mantis stalks a cicada. The oriole is behind."
"You mean we have to deal with him?" Yin Hongying said, "But how should we deal with him? He has great martial arts skills. If he accuses me of being a concubine to the second prince, it will be terrible for me."
"Mother, as long as we don't get caught, everything will be fine. We can find someone else to do this." Miao Qiao said slowly, carefully looking at Yin Hongying's expression.
"Yes, we can let other people do it." Yin Hongying nodded with a smile, then frowned: "But who can we find?"
"The Queen..." Miao Qiao said with a raised eyebrow.
…
After hearing Miao Qiao's plan, Yin Hongying suddenly became enlightened, praised Miao Qiao a few words, and immediately went to talk to the Empress about the matter.
The Queen Mother was also greatly shocked when she heard this. She asked all the palace maids to retreat before letting Yin Hongying elaborate.
"Queen Mother, I would never dare to deceive my concubine! A palace maid saw it with her own eyes." Yin Hongying assured her.
Little did they know that Queen Liu was planning something else.
Queen Liu's soft and unparalleled eyes turned around on Yin Hongying's eyes, until she felt uncomfortable all over, and then she said calmly: "Then how do you know? That maid is from your palace?"
"Yes, the palace maid was a cousin of Miao Qiao in my concubine's palace. She had a very good relationship with Miao Qiao, so she told her about it. Miao Qiao was shocked when she heard about it, so she told my concubine. After I heard about it, I was so worried that I didn't dare to delay for a moment, so I immediately came to tell my mother."
"I would rather believe it than not. I will believe you this time. Before dawn tonight, I will lead people to capture the ghost in the cold palace. If what you say is true, that's all. If there is Half a lie..."
If the important person next to Ye Xingyu could be taken down first, he would definitely be so panicked that he would show his flaws. Then it would be much easier to find his shortcomings and subdue him.
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Yin Hongying hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I don't dare to lie."
"Okay, go down!" the queen said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I'll take my leave then." Yin Hongying felt blessed and walked out with Miao Qiao.
After walking out of the palace, Yin Hongying crushed the embroidered handkerchief in her hand to pieces and said angrily: "Isn't she just a geisha? Why should a lowly geisha come to teach me, the prime minister's daughter, a lesson? Did it fly up a branch and become a phoenix?"
Miao Qiao carefully explored the surroundings and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's better not to say such things. There are many ears in the palace, and it would be bad if someone overhears you."
"Uh, I understand." Yin Hongying was startled by the clever words, and her voice lowered a little: "Fortunately, you reminded me, if it weren't for you, I would have been gossiped about. But am I wrong? The queen’s background is low. If she hadn’t looked similar to the former queen, how could the emperor have fallen in love with someone with her kind of background? "
"Your Majesty, the Queen is still the Queen after all. Even though she has many shortcomings, her identity is still there. It's better for her to be more careful now. When she becomes the queen in the future, it won't be about what she wants to do. What are you doing!" Miao Qiao said with deep meaning.
"That's right!" Yin Hongying breathed a sigh of relief: "Your words make me feel comfortable. With you by my side in the future, my future journey will be much easier. When I become my concubine in the future, If you become the empress, I will make you the greatest female official."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is all a matter of cleverness and responsibility. Your Majesty, you don't have to do this."
…
"Your Majesty, I have personally prepared a bowl of lotus seed porridge for you. Please drink it quickly!" The queen took the bowl from the maid's hand and brought it to Emperor Xuande who was correcting the memorial on the table. before.
"Queen!" When Emperor Xuande saw the queen, joy flashed in his eyes and he put down his pen: "Why are you here at this time?"
"I heard that our southern Xinjiang is not peaceful these days. The Emperor is working hard day and night. I am worried about the Emperor's health, so I made a bowl of lotus seed porridge and came to visit the Emperor personally. Your Majesty, how do you like it?"
The Queen brought the bowl in her hand to Emperor Xuande. Emperor Xuande picked up the spoon and took a sip. He nodded appreciatively: "The Queen's craftsmanship is getting better and better. It's just that you are the Supreme Queen. How can I let you do such a thing?" ? From now on, it’s enough to leave it to the palace maids and chamberlains.”
"As long as the emperor likes it, the emperor said this because he felt pity for me. But if I do it myself, it is different from someone else. I like to cook something for the emperor. As long as the emperor likes it, You can do whatever you want me to do." The queen said with a gentle voice and lowered her head.
"Haha..." Emperor Xuande laughed, put down the bowl, and pulled the queen to sit next to him: "I am blessed to have a queen like you who always thinks about me!"
"The Emperor is in serious condition, and I can't help share the Emperor's worries. I can only do what I can."
The conversation changed and he said: "Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether I should say or not."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
The queen hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, there is such a big thing happening in the palace, I believe you have heard about it."
Emperor Xuande nodded cautiously: "Well, I heard about it. Isn't it just the haunting incident in the cold palace? It's just some people making trouble, don't pay attention to them."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not simple. Recently, there are rumors of monsters appearing everywhere in the world, and many such things have also happened in our southern Xinjiang area, so..." The queen paused, with a worried look on her face, and did not continue. .
"So you think it is possible for us to issue certificates within the palace." Emperor Xuande's eyes darkened slightly, and he continued what the queen said.
The queen said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am really not suspicious. There are some things that cannot be guarded against. Anything can happen. This morning, a palace maid said that she personally saw a black figure sitting directly in the sky. If this is not a ghost, what else can be used to explain it? However, I have invited an expert. If he is here, he can drive away those harmful ghosts in our palace. I would rather believe that he exists. Believe it or not!"
"You are right, where is that person now?" Emperor Xuande asked.
"He is waiting outside the palace. He is a heavenly master whose mission is to slay demons. He is very powerful." The queen knew that Emperor Xuande had listened to her words and took the opportunity to say.
"You must have been prepared after seeing the queen!" Emperor Xuande looked at the queen deeply. The queen's heart sank and she hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I have no other intentions. I heard that everyone in the palace is in panic. , I just want to share some of the emperor’s worries and lighten some of the emperor’s burdens.”
"The queen is interested!" Emperor Xuande said, "Then call him over and have a look! Wen Xi, pass on the decree."
"Yes." Wen Xi glanced at the queen and walked out.
"Your Majesty, Jin Zhuangyuan and Young Master Dong Qi want to see you!"
Not long after Wen Xi left, a waiter came in and passed the news.
"Those two children are back?" Emperor Xuande stood up immediately: "Quick, pass the message quickly!"
A cold light flashed in the queen's eyes.
The tip of my finger almost penetrated the meat.
Could it be that he didn't do this well
After being paged by the chamberlain, Jin Qicai and Dong Xun walked in one after another, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "See you, the emperor, see the empress!"
"Please get up quickly!" Emperor Xuande stretched out his hand to help: "Is there any news about the princess?"
"Go back to the emperor, princess..." Jin Qicai did not stand up, a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Dong Xun: "Your Majesty, the princess talked to Wei Chen once and said that she still had some things to do. Wei Chen and Jin Consort came back first."
Jin Qicai tightened his sleeves under his sleeves.
This Dong Xun, Ye Xingtong has clearly come back, what exactly is he going to do
"Jin Qicai, listen to me. I promise that the emperor will not punish you or me." Dong Xun whispered.
Jin Qicai's eyes flashed slightly, and he leaned down and bowed down: "It's all Wei Chen's fault. Wei Chen didn't persuade the princess to take her back. Please ask the emperor to punish Wei Chen."
Dong Xun lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the princess said she has something important to do and will be delayed for a while. She will be back in a few days. The gangster who captured the princess has been subdued. Now the princess is fine, and all the minor officials are not. Convince the princess to come back in time to see the emperor, and ask the emperor to punish her."
Emperor Xuande looked at the two people below who were so insistent and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, you two, I was harsh at the beginning. Although you failed to find the princess, it was a great achievement that you got the news about her. She If you want to go crazy, just let her go crazy. I don’t care about her anymore. Your merits and demerits are equal to each other. I grant you no guilt. You all go down first!”
Jin Qicai and Dong Xun looked at each other and kowtowed in unison: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will definitely work together to serve Your Majesty from now on. I will retire."
After the two exited, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Dong Xun proudly showed off: "You heard me right, right? The emperor forgave us easily. My future will be filled with merits and deeds."
"Dong Xun!" Jin Qicai approached Dong Xun, with something in his deep eyes that seemed to burst out, and said word by word: "Dong Xun, what on earth are you doing? The princess came back three days before us, but now she still There is no trace of her, is it your fault?"
"You are confused. What are you talking about? I am a little general, what can I do? The princess will do whatever she wants. Although she is coming here, you can be sure that she will do it. Are you coming back?" Dong Xun shook his head in disappointment: "I didn't expect you to treat me like this among our companions. I'm really disappointed."
"You are such a mouthful, Dong Xun. I don't know what you want to do, but I advise you not to make any decisions about the princess." Jin Qicai said sternly and took the lead to leave.
"Making a decision?" Dong Xun sneered, pointed at his head and said to himself: "Haha... Do I dare?"
He took a step forward and then took it back. He had to go to the palace to find Ye Xingyu.
Ye Xingyu had just finished a painting and stretched when Meng Hui came in and said that Dong Xun was here.
Ye Xingyu was so surprised that he almost jumped up at first, but then he realized the painting in front of him, rolled it up and put it in the book.
"Second Prince, isn't that me?" Meng Hui saw the person in the painting with sharp eyes and shouted in surprise.
Although she couldn't see the whole person's face clearly, she could still see the person in a flash.
That's her in women's clothing.
Ye Xingyu coughed lightly and said, "What's wrong with you? I couldn't remember who to draw at the moment, so I drew you when I thought of you. Stop messing around and call Dong Xun over."
"Xingyu! Long time no see!" Dong Xun walked in, laughed and patted Ye Xingyu on the shoulder.
Ye Xingyu took a breath, this guy was really strong, and he also patted him.
The two of them started fighting each other quickly.
Meng Hui was dumbfounded when he saw it: "Second Prince, Young Master Dong Qi, you start fighting as soon as you meet. What are you doing?"
"Is it that dream?" Dong Xun was stunned for a moment, and was unexpectedly pressed down by Ye Xingyu and hit with a hammer.
"Ye Xingyu, you really hit me!" Dong Xun roared.
Ye Xingyu stood up from Dong Xun, clapped his hands with a smile, and raised his eyebrows: "Then, if you hit me, shouldn't I hit you? I think I received a lot of slaps from you back then."
Dong Xun covered his eyes: "You have no conscience, you have started to exploit your brothers now, right?" He turned over and glanced at Meng Hui: "This little chamberlain is very handsome, and I heard that his martial arts are very high. , can I compete with her?"
Meng Hui glanced at Ye Xingyu, indicating what he meant.
In fact, she also wanted to have a fight with Dong Xun and try out his martial arts skills.
She always felt that Dong Xun was not simple, and she felt a little weird every time she saw him.
"This won't work. What if you cripple my little chamberlain?" Ye Xingyu disagreed.
What he said in his mouth was actually thinking about another aspect.
Meng Hui was a woman after all, and even he had doubted it before. Dong Xun, being so smart, must have seen some clues.
What if he knew Meng Hui was a woman and fell in love with her at first sight
So it is better to refuse this kind of thing to avoid future troubles.
"If you don't agree, forget it," Dong Xun said regretfully: "It seems that the rumors in the palace are not false. They all say that you take good care of your little eunuch. That's a good thing. From today's perspective, there is no such thing. A little false.
"What are you talking about?" Ye Xingyu pretended to be unhappy and pushed Dong Xun: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will break off our relationship with you."
"Second Prince, Meng Hui also wants to compete in martial arts with Mr. Dong."
Meng Hui took a step forward and said with some anticipation.
"You want to compete with him?" Ye Xingyu said word by word, emphasizing his tone.
When I heard something was wrong in my dream, wasn't it just a martial arts competition
"I heard in Menghui that Mr. Dong fought in battles and killed enemies at a very young age. I have always admired him and wanted to ask him for advice, but unfortunately I never had the chance..."
"You still admire him?" Ye Xingyu said loudly, with a hint of anger in his voice.
What's even worse, isn't it just a lie? Was he so angry
Meng Hui said in confusion: "I just asked for advice on a few tricks, and I didn't do anything bad. Aren't you angry?"
When Ye Xingyu was told the central issue, he coughed to cover up his embarrassment: "Why am I angry? If you want to ask for advice, wait until later. That's not possible for now."
Not wanting to continue the topic of Dong Xun with her, she asked Dong Xun about Ye Xingtong.
"Your sister is doing very well now," Dong Xun asked, "Your sister actually escaped on her own. You already knew this, right?"
Ye Xingyu nodded: "Yes, my sister and I are twins. We have been in touch with each other since we were young. I don't know what is going on with her. It is precisely because I know that she has martial arts that I can rest assured that she is wandering alone in the world. Where did you meet her? Of? When will she come back? "
"It's in Yangzhou. It's not clear when she will come back. When we parted ways in Yangzhou, she said she had something to do and might wait a while before coming back."
"Yangzhou?" Ye Xingyu's face changed slightly and he said angrily: "She didn't call me even when she went to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is the hometown of my mother. I still remember an uncle and a grandfather. She went too far. No wonder she hasn't come back yet. , turns out she had a lot of fun outside! When she comes back, I will definitely settle this debt properly. "
Dong Xun explained: "She is also helpless. I don't think highly of Jin Qicai. Maybe your sister suddenly figured it out and didn't want to marry him. But because of the imperial edict, she couldn't resist the marriage directly, so she I came up with this way to escape. I met your grandfather. He is a very kind old man. He treats your sister very well. He has a clear distinction between love and hate, and hates evil as much as hatred. If you have time, you can go and see him. I also stayed for a while. Okay, let’s go, I’ll come see you again when I have time.”
After Dong Xun left, Meng Hui couldn't help but ask Ye Xingyu: "Second Prince, do you think Dong Xun is strange?"
"What's so weird?" Ye Xingyu laughed and said, "He and I have known each other since we were young, and we have always been on speaking terms. The relationship between the two of us is very good."
Meng Hui thought about it carefully: "But I always feel a little strange, but I can't explain why it is strange. Don't you feel it?"
Ye Xingyu patted Menghui's head in a funny way: "Are you too sensitive? We've known each other since we were young, and each of us knows our own personalities and interests very well. I know very well what kind of person he is, and I can't say anything about him. Now, if you tell me again, I should think you are attracted to him."
Meng Hui was amused by Ye Xingyu's last words: "How could I be interested in him? He's just someone I've met a few times, so I'm not familiar with him. I'm just curious about him, and I always think he's a little weird." It's weird, but I can't say it's weird at all. Recently, I always have a bad feeling in my heart, as if something is going to happen."
"As I said, you are too sensitive. I will protect you in the palace. Who dares to bully you? Don't worry!"
Laughter came from far away, and Dong Xun, who had not gone far, looked back, with a heavy expression, as if he was thinking.
"Menghui, who are you?"
She is obviously a mortal and a woman, but her deception method seems to have almost no flaws in the eyes of mortals, but it is easy for him to do so.
His whole body is filled with immortal energy that cannot be seen by mortals. Could he be a heavenly master who can slay demons
No, if that was the case, how could she be willing to be an inconspicuous little eunuch next to Ye Xingyu? Doing almost nothing.
Suddenly smelling a dangerous smell, Dong Xun hid behind a big tree surrounded by four or five people.
"Master Lin, please come this way!" Wen Xi said to a handsome young man who was dressed plainly and simply, with his hair held up only by a jade hairpin.
The young man looked to be only about twenty years old. There was a strange bell hanging on his waist. As he walked, it swayed slightly and made a crisp sound.
The complexion is fair, and the handsome and pure face exudes a clean air.
Suddenly, his waist vibrated violently, making a series of sounds.
Is there a demon in the palace of Southern Xinjiang
The young man looked in surprise at the general direction of the swing of the bell on his waist, towards a very thick sycamore tree.
"Master Lin, what's wrong?" Wen Xi asked tentatively, looking at the sycamore tree surrounded by four or five people.
I couldn't help but think, is there really something strange in the palace
If Lin Daozhi could find out something, he might really be a capable person.
But this person was recommended by the Queen, and I always felt uncomfortable in my heart.
He has always seen the Queen's actions over the years. Although she looks calm, gentle and charming on the surface, comparable to the former Queen Wei, in fact, she is always trying every means to find opportunities to get rid of Ye Xingtong and Sister Ye Xingyu. Two brothers.
Ever since he personally promised to take care of the two of them with all his strength before the death of the former Queen, he has never relaxed his supervision of the current Queen. Queen Liu is evil-hearted and will always be a disaster if she remains.
But the emperor likes it, and as a chamberlain, he really can't do it.
The sycamore leaves returned to normal after a slight sway.
Lin Daozhi took one look and then looked away, saying calmly: "It's okay, I made a mistake. Just keep walking."
He was in a small town in Southern Xinjiang except for an evil demon. Someone suddenly came to him and said that he was invited by a distinguished person.
When he got there, he found out that it was the maid next to the Queen of Southern Xinjiang who wanted to invite him to the palace to slay demons, saying that some unrest had happened in the palace recently.
He could be sure that he had read correctly just now. The palace was upright and awe-inspiring. Generally, there would be no little demons or demons who would dare to intrude. However, the one he saw running away so fast just now might be some of the more powerful ones who could be free in the palace. Monsters that come and go.
The man's concealment skills were so good that even he couldn't tell whether he was a demon or a demon. Moreover, even if he chased him, he might not be able to catch up.
He came down from the mountain with the mission of slaying demons. To him, it was the same everywhere, so he agreed to the palace maid's invitation and followed her to the outside of the palace to wait for the summons.
