Chapter 249 The Strange Zhaochun Palace
Chapter 249 The strange Zhaochun Palace
When the three people arrived outside the capital, they saw that there were no defenders even at the gate of the capital, and they knew that the situation inside was probably very bad.
The only two defenders were sitting on the side feebly. When they saw the three of them, they did not stop them or ask any questions, and just watched them enter the city gate.
Pei Zimo pursed his lower lip slightly before saying, "Send Jincheng back to settle down. I'll go to the Yun Mansion first to have a look. If there is cinnabar in the house, let them cover the chest and forehead with cinnabar first."
Bai Jinye nodded, and Pei Zimo left immediately.
But when she reached the door of Yun Mansion, she stopped again. Yun Zhi and Mrs. Yun would definitely not recognize her now, and they might not trust her if she went in rashly.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Xiao Chihan walking out of the gate of Yun Mansion.
Xiao Chihan looked up and saw Pei Zimo, and was slightly startled. He seemed to be struggling for a while before walking towards her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Pei Zimo looked inside the door behind him and asked, "How are the people in Yun Mansion?"
Xiao Chihan looked at her, still a little wary, "What does it have to do with you?"
"I was entrusted by someone." Pei Zimo frowned, "What about you? What are you doing here? As far as I know, the Yun family doesn't seem to have any contact with your Xiao family."
Xiao Chihan was choked by her question and said after a while, "Yun Zhi is young and in good health. His current condition is pretty good, but Mrs. Yun has started to cough up blood today."
Pei Zimo bit his lip and took out a few charms from his sleeve pocket, "Please help me stick these in Mrs. Yun's room so that Yun Zhi stays in there and doesn't come out."
Xiao Chihan took the talisman and looked down. These talismans looked very complicated and he had never seen them before, but he still hesitated for a while and asked, "You won't harm them?"
"Bai Jinye asked me to come here." Pei Zimo said again.
Xiao Chihan glanced at her again. He came to Yun Mansion because of his previous friendship with Pei Qingge, and Pei Qingge was Bai Jinye's princess. Naturally, he couldn't ignore her family, "Okay."
"Go quickly, I'll wait for you here." Pei Zimo looked at him and urged.
Xiao Chihan then re-entered the Yun Mansion. When he came out again after a while, he saw Bai Jinye also arriving.
Seeing that Pei Zimo had no intention of going in, Bai Jinye knew that the Yun Mansion had probably solved the problem, so he looked at Xiao Chihan with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "I heard that the emperor has left Shengjing with many people.
, they said they went south for a private visit incognito. Your Xiao family came back a few days ago and left without even entering the city. Why are you still here?"
Hearing his question, Xiao Chihan's face froze, he coughed slightly, unhooked his horse from the stone pillar next to him, got on the horse and said, "Let's go sit in Xiao Mansion first?"
Bai Jinye turned to look at Pei Zimo and saw her nodded slightly before following Xiao Chihan.
Pei Zimo followed the two of them and looked around to observe the situation.
After walking for a while, Xiao Chihan said, "When a group of us returned to the capital, we saw that the entire capital was shrouded in black air. Grandpa's expression changed immediately, and he only ordered people to go in and kill the remaining members of the Xiao family.
As soon as he picked it up, he had to leave immediately. He said the resentment was too heavy and he had no choice but to stay away."
"Didn't Mr. Pei say that there were eight formations outside? I don't know if it's because of these formations, but if it's not solved, what will happen to the remaining people in the capital? Those who can leave have already left.
"After a pause, he added, "Besides, not everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death. At least there are still many ministers who stayed to find ways to save people."
"In the past two days, I have seen the resentment getting stronger and stronger, and even tending to spread outwards. So no matter where I escape, it is just a matter of lingering for a few more days."
Bai Jinye turned to look at him and said, "You think more clearly than your grandfather."
Xiao Chihan hesitated for a moment before defending Xiao Gongjin, "Grandpa is the head of the clan after all, and he has to consider the affairs of the entire family. Anyway, I... the fate of this evil star, it is not that easy to die."
After a pause, he looked at Bai Jinye and asked, "You don't have a disguise when you return to the capital this time. Aren't you afraid that others will find out?"
Bai Jinye sneered and didn't answer.
When such a big thing happened in the capital, Bai Lihan himself ran very fast.
Yubei had just told him that almost two-thirds of the ministers in the court had left.
It is simply a shame for Tianfeng Kingdom to have such people as kings and officials.
Since Bai Lihan can't be the emperor, then he might as well not do it!
The three of them arrived at the Xiao Mansion all the way. The Xiao Mansion was now empty. As soon as the master left, all the servants who could be taken away were taken with him. Those who could not be taken away were also given travel expenses and severance pay.
These servants are not stupid. Since the master has hidden away, it is always right to follow the master's example and run away if possible.
When they got to the hall, Xiao Chihan roughly told what he had learned recently. Pei Zimo didn't need to tell him. After reading this, she understood the general situation. She stood up and went to the place where the Xiao family had robbed evil spirits.
Place to walk.
Xiao Chihan was startled for a moment, then turned to look at Pei Zimo and then at Bai Jinye, "Who is she?"
Bai Jinye followed suit without saying anything.
With the capital like this, Pei Zimo didn't check other things and came to Xiao Mansion first. He must have wanted to see the original formation of Xiao Mansion.
Pei Zimo walked around the place where the evil spirits were released and looked around for a while before returning to Bai Jinye and Xiao Chihan who were waiting for her in the courtyard. "I want to enter the palace, but I have to find a way."
Seal the outlet for the outpouring of resentment in Zhaochun Palace."
"Zhaochun Palace?" Xiao Chihan understood something immediately, "You mean, all these grievances come from Zhaochun Palace?"
Pei Zimo glanced at him and said nothing.
Xiao Chihan looked at Bai Jinye again, "But didn't Mr. Pei say at the beginning that only by solving that formation, nothing would happen to the capital? How come that after solving that formation, something happened to the capital instead?" He said and stepped back.
He took a step forward and said in shock, "You didn't do it on purpose, did you? You went around in such a big circle... because you wanted to become emperor?"
Bai Jinye frowned and looked at Xiao Chihan. She didn't know how his brain circuit came to the conclusion, "At the beginning...she was deceived, so I...we returned to Shengjing this time to solve this matter.
Yes."
Xiao Chihan blinked his eyes and no longer believed in the two of them as he did before, so he followed them closely.
All the way to Zhaochun Palace, Pei Zimo stopped before entering. Not only her, but the other two people also had doubts on their faces.
The entire capital is surrounded by black energy, but here in Zhaochun Palace, there is not a trace of black energy.
This black energy does not seem to be emanating from Zhaochun Palace. Instead, it seems that the black energy from outside has been trying to invade Zhaochun Palace, but has been blocked by an invisible barrier.
Pei Zimo's hands clenched into fists. Was she wrong?
