526: another accident
526: Another accident happened. Things in the harem were becoming increasingly unclear, but Zi Jin could clearly feel that he seemed to have stepped on the edge of the whirlpool. If he was not careful, he would be pulled down by this powerful force.
, can no longer struggle up.
Li Gui's concubine Zi Jin has always felt a bit mysterious. She just wanted to coax Yu Qing to know which palace Yu Ping was from. Now that she knows, Zi Jin doesn't want to step into this place of right and wrong. There are some things.
Just understand in your heart that matters in the harem still have to be left to the Queen.
What's more, there is an imminent matter. The Queen is going to summon Lan Niang, and she doesn't know whether it is good or bad. Zi Jin strokes her forehead, it is really terrible, one after another is not relaxing at all. Zi Jinrao
After opening Lexuan, walk east in the direction of sunrise because Zi Jin knows that Fengyi Palace is to the east of Luyunxuan.
The more Zi Jin walked forward, the more familiar the road became. The palace people he met on the road also had a few familiar faces. When they saw Zi Jin, they all bent down and saluted. Zi Jin smiled and responded, and couldn't help but pause when passing by Qunfang Hall.
After a pause, when he was thinking about whether to go in, he suddenly saw the figure of Princess Le gradually walking in from a distance. Zi Jin subconsciously hid behind the rockery. It seemed that Aruo was still walking with Prince Le. It was unclear.
Why do I always feel depressed and uncomfortable in my heart? After all, Zi Jin still hopes that Aruo can turn around and be safe, but when the last hope was lost, Zi Jin still felt very sad.
Through the gap in the rockery, Zi Jin watched Concubine Le enter the Qunfang Hall. Zi Jin's frown could not relax at all. Concubine Le could still come in and out freely. Is it possible that Emperor Zhengxian and the Empress did not move at all?
?
The more he thought about it, the less he could think of a reason. Zi Jin suddenly felt that he was in this large harem, just like a awning boat in the strong wind and waves, with no power to resist. Thinking of this, Zi Jin became anxious to go to the queen.
Slowly cooling down, although the Queen is Zi Jin's ally, as long as Lan Niang is involved, even Zi Jin is not sure what the Queen will do. Thinking of this, Zi Jin feels that Zi Jin should go to Qin Shifeng first to compare
Okay, but it feels inappropriate. After all, Qin Shifeng doesn't know that Lan Niang is her biological mother. If he rashly reveals it at this time, he really doesn't know what accident will happen.
Sitting in the rockery cave, Zi Jin was really depressed. For a moment, he really didn't know what to do now.
While Zi Jin was hesitating, great changes were also taking place in the harem. It seemed that suddenly the entire harem became turbulent. Before Zi Jin could figure out the reason, he heard something like a border emergency report.
Sound. Zi Jin had long known that there was unrest at the border, and there had been voices in the court wanting Ping Beihou to go on an expedition. However, because Ping Beihou was not in good health, Emperor Zhengxian sent someone else to go. These things were already in Zi Jin's mind.
It was in people's plans, so when the news of the border turmoil really came out at this time, Zi Jin was not very anxious. After all, this was also the strategy that Ye Mingxuan and the others had said to lure the snake out of its hole.
Therefore, when the people in the harem were panicking, Zi Jin was not anxious, but he felt a little uneasy. After all, although Kyoto is not very close to the border pass, it is not impossible for the enemy to break through the Qingshi Pass and surround the city.
These military and national affairs were not within Zi Jin's jurisdiction. Zi Jin put these things aside forcibly, and then thought about how to know which palace Yan Cui's group belonged to. He should have asked just now
I asked Yuqing how she was doing, but it happened that she had forgotten about this incident.
Zi Jin thought that since Princess Le had entered Qunfang Palace, it was not good for him to go in at this time. Zi Jin from Fengyi Palace did not want to face the queen at this time. After all, Lan Niang was in Fengyi Palace at this time. Zi Jin might not be willing to see the queen even if she went to the palace.
She. In this case, Zi Jin thought for a while and simply went to Luyunxuan to visit Zhao Yuqing and ask about the background of those little palace maids.
Zi Jin secretly slipped into Luyunxuan all the way. Luyunxuan was obviously inferior to other palaces. Although the ground was cleaned very clean, the flowers planted here were not taken care of by anyone and were already in ruins.
It looks like there are still shadows of the past. The autumn wind blows the fallen leaves quietly in this quiet space, and disappears in an instant.
It is very quiet here. Compared to the hustle and bustle of other palaces, it is so quiet that it makes people feel uneasy.
There wasn't even a guard at the door. It was really a waste of time. Zi Jin snorted in his heart. He walked inside and called out softly, "Yu Qing?"
But no one responded for a long time. Zi Jin wondered if Yu Qing had gone out again? After all, this was the place where Xiang Pin lived before. Now Xiang Pin had been gone for a long time. Zi Jin felt a little uncomfortable standing here.
Panic, there was no one in the empty courtyard, only the sound of the wind, and Zi Jin felt that his bones were freezing.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard someone shout, "Fifth sister?"
Qin Zhaoli? Zi Jin's body became a little stiff. She didn't expect to meet him here. Turning around slowly, Zi Jin looked at Qin Zhaoli standing far away on the corridor in black clothes, with his black hair half-combed.
The hair draped over the shoulders was blown into a beautiful arc by the wind and danced gracefully.
"Second Prince, why are you here?" Zi Jin laughed dryly, what a coincidence... Zi Jin never expected to meet him here.
Qin Zhaoli walked over slowly, his long figure carrying a frightening aura, attacking heavily in the direction of Zi Jin. Zi Jin couldn't help but take a step back, feeling that Qin Zhaoli in front of him was a little strange.
He stood in front of him, Zi Jin looked up at him, but heard him ask: "You shouldn't be here, why are you here?"
"I have something to ask Yuqing, so I came here." Zi Jin didn't want to lie, so he thought for a while and said, "Someone in the palace used the name of the Queen to trick me into the inner palace from the outer palace. Fortunately, I was clever and escaped.
I got out of the way, but I didn’t know who those palace maids were from, because I met Yuqing on the way to escape. Fortunately, I was out of danger because of her. I was in a hurry and forgot to ask about those several palace maids, so
Then I turned around and wanted to ask again, but I didn't expect to meet you here."
Qin Zhaoli's eyes tightened, "Someone wants to kill you?"
"I don't know whether to murder or not, but I know someone wants to plot against me." Zi Jin sighed and said, raising his eyes to meet Qin Zhaoli's eyes, but seeing the stormy gloom in those eyes, he felt in his heart
Shocked, he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you?"
Qin Zhaoli calmed down, looked at Zi Jin and said helplessly: "You are still as bold as Jin Chang. If it were someone else who escaped, you would have returned to the outer palace long ago."
Zi Jin shrugged, "Even if I go back, if they can't find me, will they go to the outer hall to look for me again? Where can I hide then? It's better not to go back than to do this. I want to see
Who wants to kill me?"
"Come in with me." Qin Zhaoli turned around and walked into the house. Zi Jin was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and followed. After all, it is very dangerous to walk around alone in this harem.
Now that she has a place to live, Zi Jin feels at ease. Although this place... really makes her feel scared. But Zi Jin thinks about it when she was alive and she was not afraid of her. Could it be that she is afraid of her when she dies?
Got it? I figured it out in my mind and walked over.
No matter what, the prince's mother used to live in Luyunxuan. The overall layout is still very luxurious. But it has been unoccupied for a long time, and there is a cold atmosphere that spreads from head to toe, making people feel sad.
There is a strange uneasiness.
"Sit down." Qin Zhaoli sat down in front of the round table carved from rosewood and looked at Zi Jin and said.
Zi Jin was not polite. There was nothing to be polite about in this place. He looked at Qin Zhaoli and asked, "Why is the second prince here?"
Qin Zhaoli did not answer, but asked: "You want that palace maid just now, tell me, maybe I will have an impression. After all, I have lived in this palace for so long, I know something about it."
Zi Jin felt that Qin Zhaoli was weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he said, "The second prince has an impression of a palace maid named Yan Cui, and does he know which palace she is from?"
"Yancui?" Qin Zhaoli's pupils narrowed and he looked straight at Zi Jin, "Are you sure your name is Yan Cui?"
Zi Jin looked at Qin Zhaoli's expression and couldn't help but feel a little nervous, "Yes, the two little maids following behind did call her Yan Cui."
"There are others following? Do you know the names of the two following?"
"Hongzhi, Wei Zi."
Qin Zhaoli's expression became very strange. He lost the indifference he had just now and his brows were furrowed.
Zi Jin couldn't help but ask: "It seems that the second prince must know these names. Who do they belong to?"
"Yancui is from Concubine Shu, but I'm a little unsure about Hongzhi and Wei Zi, but it seems that these two people are not from Concubine Shu's palace. Hongzhi and Wei Zi are both flower names, and neither of the maids in Concubine Shu's palace are.
Named after a flower." Qin Zhaoli said slowly, with a solemn tone.
Zi Jin's face suddenly froze, "They are not from the same family? How is this possible? I clearly heard that Hong Zhi and Wei Zi seemed to be very familiar with Yan Cui. How could they not be from the same palace? Not from the same palace. Why?
But all three of them are staring at me?"
As she spoke, Zi Jin became a little uneasy. It seemed that things were indeed beyond her imagination. Zi Jin never imagined that more than one person in the harem would be staring at her. Logically speaking, Le Wang wanted to
To do great things, you shouldn't waste energy on yourself, but... someone really wants to attack you. Who is this person?
"As long as the interests are consistent in this harem, there will be no permanent enemies. Isn't it strange?" Qin Zhaoli's expression returned to calmness. He looked at Zi Jin and said, "Don't move around. I'll go out and take a look. Since Shu
The concubine wants to attack you, but why? It’s really puzzling. Now I’m going to find out which palace Hongzhi and Wei Zi are from.”
Zi Jin didn't expect that Qin Zhaoli would actually help him like this, so he couldn't help but ask: "Second Prince, why do you want to help me like this? You know you can get into trouble if you are not careful."
"When did you stop causing trouble?" Qin Zhaoli chuckled, and Zi Jin felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that he was less embarrassed when he didn't cause trouble.
"Now that you are in danger, don't rush in, and don't move around in the industry at will. No one comes to Luyunxuan, so you can stay here with peace of mind, and I will send you out of the palace after I ask questions." Qin Zhaoli left these words.
He left, his long back showing a deep desolation, as if nothing in the world could warm him up.
Zi Jin stayed at Luyunxuan, but Yu Qing never came back, and Zi Jin became more and more uneasy. After more than an hour, it was almost noon, and Qin Zhaoli didn't come back either. Zi Jin was really restless, and was thinking about what to do.
Don't go out secretly, but you see Yu Qing's somewhat embarrassed figure running in. She didn't seem surprised to see Zi Jin here, and opened her mouth and said: "The second prince asked the slave to tell the princess that you should wait a little longer.
, he will be back in a moment. I will prepare some food for you. Please wait a moment, Princess."
After Yuqing finished speaking, she turned around and left very quickly, as if she was afraid that Zijin would ask her something.
Emperor Zi Jin really wanted to ask, but looking at Yu Qing's expression, he knew that he would not be able to ask anything. However, Zi Jin looked at Yu Qing's embarrassed figure and concluded that something must have happened, but this
You can't let yourself know things.
Zi Jin sat down patiently and waited silently. Now besides waiting, she didn't know what else to do. Seeing that it was almost noon, Zi Jin didn't know what Lan Niang had said to Emperor Zhengxian that day, or what she could do.
He knew what agreement the two had reached, but Zi Jin knew that something would definitely happen today.
Yuqing brought up a few snacks and said a little awkwardly: "Princess, please put your belly first, there is nothing good, I will wrong you. I will make you tea, please wait a moment."
Listening to Yu Qing calling her princess, Zi Jin also knew that Yu Qing must have heard Qin Zhaoli tell her her identity. Seeing Yu Qing's hurried figure, Zi Jin's heart became more and more uneasy. How could she still think about snacks?
I stood up and wanted to walk out.
Yu Qing turned around when she heard the voice, looked at Zi Jin's movements and hurriedly stopped her: "Princess Princess, please wait a moment, His Highness will be back soon."
"Yuqing, I know something must have happened. If you don't tell me, I'll go out and see by myself. It's better than being blind here." Zi Jin threatened, knowing that it was useless to say anything, so he threatened instead.
Looking at Yu Qing's expression, it seems that what happened is not a big deal. Otherwise, Qin Zhaoli would not have come, but asked Yu Qing to come back and look at him. Could it be that what happened has anything to do with him?
The more Zi Jin thought about it, the more uneasy he became. It seemed that the enemy was really well prepared and had planned on him in advance.
