050 True or false edict (3)

Dark clouds were pressing down on the nine-story palace. Lightning struck like a golden snake, illuminating the palace in pale white. Thunder rolled in, and raindrops hit the red tiles. The crackling sound could make people frightened.

.

Ye Jiaoxi fell on the red tiles on the roof of the palace, her whole body was already soaked, and the raindrops gathered into streams and trickled down from her forehead. She came to Cining Palace by a familiar route, and saw that there were only a few left-behind palaces in the palace.

People, and the Queen Mother is not among them.

Ye Jiaoxi gently wiped her cheeks, brushed away the water droplets, and smiled cutely, which looked a bit strange under the man's face. She easily avoided several palace people and walked in with dignity.

Wherever he passed, there were wet marks left in the hall. Ye Jiaoxi glanced down and frowned slightly, but then shrugged and didn't care much. Although it was not very convenient to move in such weather, there were rainy days.

The good thing is that if you make any noise, it will be drowned out by the rain. As for the wet marks, she must have left long ago when you find them.

Ye Jiaoxi walked into the Queen Mother's bedroom and walked straight to her bed. However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, glanced around sharply, her heart shuddered, and she suddenly turned around and jumped out of the door.

, however, it was a step too late after all. The palace door was slammed shut, candlelight everywhere suddenly lit up, dozens of guards appeared with their bows fully drawn, high-fives and heavy footsteps sounded from behind the screen, and a bright yellow figure walked away.

come out.

"I really didn't stay here in vain, Thousand-Faced Thief, right?" The voice with a smile made people feel chilly in their hearts.

Ye Jiaoxi curled her lips and smiled, "It's a great honor for the common people to allow the Holy Lord to guard here in person." The strong voice and the loose black clothes made it completely impossible to tell that she was a woman.

Mu Zinan laughed loudly and said: "As expected of the world-famous Thousand-Faced Thief, you can still talk and laugh freely at this time. If you were a woman, maybe I would keep you in the harem."

"Oh, that's right," Ye Jiaoxi nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly changed to a female voice and said: "I am really a woman, your majesty, do you want to keep me?"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Ziling's pupils suddenly shrank, but after a moment he laughed again: "Hahaha, okay! Okay! What a Thousand-Faced Thief. It seems that this face is not real anymore. In this case, why not

How about letting me see what you look like, whether you are a boy or a girl?"

Ye Jiaoxi's smart eyes turned a few times and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why don't I tell you the truth? In fact, I have no real body or appearance. I am just a shadow made up of the essence of heaven and earth. I can be male or female.

I am both a man and a woman, if Your Majesty does not dislike me, you can keep me in the harem."

Mu Zinan frowned, snorted coldly, and said: "Don't pretend to be a ghost in front of me." After thinking about it, he added: "Since you don't want to show me your true appearance, I won't force it, but now you have fallen.

In my hands, only those who understand current affairs will be heroes."

"Does your Majesty want to know who sent me here or what do I want to steal? Hasn't Your Majesty heard that the Thousand-Faced Thief always acts according to his own preferences? As for what to steal, I naturally steal whatever I like."

"Of course I know," Mu Zinan said, "Although I'm not sure this time whether you did it based on preference, I have no intention of asking this. As for what to steal, I think I understand."

Ye Jiaoxi raised her eyebrows slightly and listened as Mu Zinan continued: "Concubine Rao died inexplicably, and she seemed to have been put under house arrest by her mother for something before. I'm not stupid. I will also find out the reason. It's because

The late emperor’s edict, right?”

Ye Jiaoxi looked calm, but doubts suddenly arose in her heart. According to Mu Zinan, the late emperor's edict was spread by Yu Rao, so wasn't the customer this time Mu Ziling? Could it be that he already knew it?

The master is the master of the Shadowless Sect, and he is the Thousand-faced Thief?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Mu Zinan say again: "Since you are here, you should know where it is. Bring it to me, and I will let you go and make sure you are unharmed."

Ye Jiaoxi was silent for a moment and said: "The emperor is looking for a posthumous edict. Does the Queen Mother know?"

A cold light suddenly appeared in Mu Zinan's eyes, and he said solemnly: "This has nothing to do with you, you just need to take it out, if you want to survive."

Ye Jiaoxi still did not act and continued to say calmly: "What is written in the imperial edict? The emperor seems to be very nervous about it. Is it related to the succession of the throne?"
