Huangfu Qing is now in pure disguise, and he doesn't know which idiot wanted to kill Zhao Changhe back then. The identity of this Fire Pig was given to him by Sanniang, and his purpose was to have fun.
Xia Chichi actually agreed with this statement. When Zhao Changhe was just starting out, people accused him of being a traitor... But later on, he did more chivalrous things and this matter was forgotten.
But in fact, he has never changed, and has always been the unruly rebel and mountain king. He is a good match for the Four Symbols Sect, but it is best if there is no leader above him, otherwise the leader will either be overthrown or be overthrown.
"Alright." Huangfu Qing stood up very satisfied, not caring about him going to find Tang Wanzhuang first: "I will take you two into the palace. One of you will pretend to be a palace maid, and the other will pretend to be..."
Zhao Changhe widened his eyes.
Huangfu Qing's eyes rolled around, and she said seductively: "If you want to save face, pretend to be a guard, but you can't stay in the imperial concubine's room in public. If you want to save face, pretend to be a eunuch, and you can enter anyway..."
Zhao Changhe said expressionlessly: "Is there any eunuch as tall and mighty as me?"
Huangfu Qing smiled with eyes curved: "Yes."
Zhao Changhe sighed, "I went in to have a quarrel with someone. If I wear a eunuch costume, I will be laughed at before I even start the quarrel. I will lose all my momentum. I'd better go to the inner guard."
Huangfu Qing's face fell, and he angrily threw a set of guard uniforms at him: "You pig who wants to save face!"
Eh... Was this already prepared
Zhao Changhe took the clothes and changed them slowly in front of them: "Even if you are an inner guard, you can enter the imperial concubine's room... Whether you can stay overnight depends on the operation."
Huangfu Qing groaned and wanted to say something, but when he saw Xia Chichi standing by with a bad look on his face, he felt that he couldn't discuss this with this little bitch in front of her, so he had to hold it back. He cursed himself for being stupid, why did he agree to bring this girl into the palace!
… …
The process of entering the palace was extremely smooth. Huangfu Qing obviously did not leave the palace alone, but with a motorcade, all waiting in the front yard of Huangfu's house. When they returned, there was a large group of people, among whom there was an extra palace maid and a guard, and others could not see it at all.
As for the people in the convoy, they are all loyal followers of the Four Symbols Religion, the kind with faith.
The Four Symbols Sect values quality over quantity, and for core members, the probability of loyalty being a problem is very low.
It also proves that it was Huangfu Qing's bad taste that wanted Zhao Changhe to change into eunuch's clothes... In fact, it doesn't matter what the clothes are, as long as you can hide it from the guards during the entry process and successfully bring him into her imperial concubine's palace, there will be people from the Four Symbols Sect all around, and no one will tell anyone how you play in there.
The dignified Lord Suzaku has been personally managing the palace for several years, and is a collaborator with the fake Old Xia. Apart from placing countless followers of her own Four Symbols Sect, most of the other people in the palace have already been bribed by her. Her people are everywhere, and Queen Wang is no match for her at all.
Especially after the Wang family showed their rebellious intentions, although Queen Wang was not deposed, everyone in the palace with a normal mind knew that the Queen's time was running out, and they all joined the Imperial Concubine. Now that the Wang family has really rebelled, the Queen is on the verge of being deposed at any time, and it is not surprising that she will be sentenced to death. Once the Queen is deposed, she, Huangfu Qing, will be able to cover the sky with one hand in the inner palace.
At first, the thing Zhao Changhe couldn't understand the most about the Wang family's actions was that, to test the world, wasn't that like putting their own queen in the palace on the spot? Later, thinking about it, it wasn't surprising. Anyway, the prince was dead, and the country had no successor, so the queen's value suddenly became very low. Given the Wang family's indifference, they might not care about her life or death, so turning to the sea clan behind them might be more important.
Speaking of which... Xia Longyuan supported a faker in the front. The faker and Huangfu Qing were collaborators, so of course he would not touch Huangfu Qing, nor did he dare to. But what about the queen? It would be fine if Xia Longyuan just watched the faker plant the Four Elephants Sect concubine in the palace, but would he just watch the faker sleep with his queen? This is too...
"What are you thinking about with those rolling eyes?" In the palace, Huangfu Qing, dressed in elegant palace clothes, leaned comfortably on the soft couch and said leisurely, "Are you thinking about the queen?"
"Ahem." Zhao Changhe coughed dryly, "You know that Xia Longyuan on the stage is a fake, right? Your entry into the palace is a collaboration with him."
"You are thinking about the fake guy sleeping with the queen." Huangfu Qing said.
Zhao Changhe tilted his head.
Huangfu Qing said: "The queen is Wang Daoning's sister, only one year younger than Wang Daoning. She is not very skilled in martial arts and has limited skills in maintaining her youth. She is already old and ugly now. Regardless of whether she is real or fake, people would not be very interested in such an old lady. Why do emperors of all dynasties favor certain concubines and ignore the queen? Because the queen often gets old..."
"Uh... will she die now?"
"Anytime." Huangfu Qing said, "A fake one would definitely not dare to do this. If it were a real one, I guess the queen is no longer useful to him, so he can be killed. In fact, if the Wang family doesn't rebel, the queen will also die. Xia Longyuan will use killing the queen as an excuse for the Wang family to rebel." Zhao Changhe said, "Did you figure it out?"
"Not only did I see it, Wang Daoning also saw it. He knew that no matter what we did, my sister would die, so we might as well do it decisively." Huangfu Qing's expression became serious: "You once warned me to leave the palace, meaning that Xia Longyuan was not as weak as we thought. Now it seems that you were right."
"certainly."
"Yesterday, the energy in the palace surged and fell towards Hebei. I felt it. Xia Longyuan finally waited for the opportunity for the sea clan to show up... I think he is also waiting for me to see if there will be gods and demons showing up after me." Huangfu Qing smiled brightly: "In fact, although I know that he is still very strong, I feel quite relaxed these two days, because I finally figured out the purpose of Xia Longyuan's actions. The feeling of being confused before was uncomfortable..."
Zhao Changhe looked at Chi Chi, the little palace maid who had been standing by her side without saying a word. Chi Chi looked a little dazed. He asked on behalf of Chi Chi: "Then how do we find the real Old Xia? Do you have any idea?"
"At least I guessed where his secret place of retreat is." Huangfu Qing hesitated: "You just go there directly? Isn't it a bit..."
"It makes no difference. I think he knows we're here." Zhao Changhe said, "He can even see the war thousands of miles away... Although he probably used the hidden hand on the Qinghe Sword to observe, it's unlikely that he can really overlook the world... But this is the imperial palace, he has more arrangements than you. There's nothing to hide from him, just get straight to the point."
Suddenly, laughter came from the air: "You are really smart. You even guessed what I used to observe the battle between King Cui."
Huangfu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Zhao Changhe responded, "Are you not pretending anymore?"
"When I throw a punch, I will definitely not be able to hide it from Z... Huangfu. It's meaningless in front of people with discerning eyes." Xia Longyuan's voice was filled with some strange amusement: "The Four Elephants Sect has been lurking for many years. Finally, they found out that Xia Longyuan is not injured. Congratulations."
Huangfu Qing: “…”
She thought he was joking about the second half of the sentence, but she didn't know that Xia Longyuan was joking about the pause in the first half.
Zhao Changhe didn't understand either, so he asked, "So you can see me now, or can you only hear the sounds in the palace?"
"Yes." Xia Longyuan answered very honestly: "There is only one person who can overlook the world... Although she is weak, her basic characteristics are still there. But even she can't see many places, and has to use the eyes on you. Just like I use the eyes on the Qinghe Sword."
Blind man: “…”
Zhao Changhe seemed not surprised at all, he had already made this judgment about the behind-the-back eye, and now he rarely used it. It was just that it was passively upgraded along with his upgrade, and now the behind-the-back eye had become a bird's-eye view, but this "bird's-eye view" was relatively narrow, and it was still a long way from "overlooking the world".
He didn't dwell on the matter, deciding to talk to the blind man about it later and not to get off topic for now.
"Are there your eyes on the dragon bird?"
"Why am I looking at you?" Xia Longyuan laughed: "Do you think you were worth wasting my energy at that time?"
"What now?"
"It's a little interesting now... but that's all." Xia Longyuan said, "If you want to scold me, come and bring Chi Chi with you. It's easy for you to come visit me, there's no need to hide it, it's just ridiculous."
Xia Chichi: “…”
Xia Longyuan paused for a moment and sighed, "The only person in the world who is truly qualified to scold me is Chi Chi."
Xia Chi Chi finally spoke the first words since entering the palace: "But I don't want to scold you, because you don't deserve it."
