Seeing everyone's obviously tired expressions, Xie Songhua felt warm and reluctant to leave, "What can happen to people in the palace? Don't let this happen in the future.
As he was talking, he saw Xiao Qing smiling shyly behind the crowd, and his heart dropped completely.
"princess!"
Xiaoqing stepped forward to salute Gu Jinyuan very seriously and politely, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Several maids in the room said a few words and knew that Xie Songhua and Xiaoqing had something important to say, so they left one after another.
Xiaoqing looked at Xie Songhua and just smiled.
Xie Songhua laughed so hard that he was a little annoyed, "You're still laughing! I was almost scared out of my mind."
"Isn't this slave standing in front of the princess properly now?" Xiao Qing smiled with a serious look on her face, "But... I found someone in the Qianyuan Palace."
"There is more than one person in Qianyuan Palace." Xie Songhua rolled his eyes at her, actually feeling a little annoyed with himself.
That was the place where the current emperor was. What she asked Xiaoqing to do at that time was actually not much different from assassinating the current emperor.
This carelessness was not just as simple as beheading, but to be precise, it was a major crime against the nine clans.
Xiao Qing said seriously: "No, there is a person inside who is very powerful. His aura can hardly be caught by the slaves. Moreover, he was discovered as soon as the slaves took action. If it were not for the intuitive guidance at that time, I would not have been able to return to the original place with Jin Yiwei.
The place has been decided.”
"How powerful is it?" Xie Songhua really didn't know much about the realm of martial arts, so he asked tentatively, "Could it be Han Jian?"
Xiao Qing shook her head, "My slave has come into contact with Han Jian, and this person is still above Han Jian. The most powerful person I have come into contact with is the prince, but it is obvious that this person's skills are still above the prince, and he is a stranger. My slave
I probably haven’t seen him before.”
"Hey! If you say so much, isn't that the national master?"
A person's voice suddenly cut in diagonally.
Neither of the two people who came to Lantian noticed when.
Xiao Qing was suddenly startled, and Lan Tian immediately stepped aside, "Hey, hey, I'm not a martial arts master, and what you just said is not a secret. Didn't I guess it right away?"
Xie Songhua asked doubtfully: "The national master is still a martial arts master?"
"Hey, it shouldn't be surprising for an immortal like him to know something, right?"
Neither the master nor the servant could answer these words. Gu Jinyuan looked at Xiao Qing and then at Lan Tian, "You seem to know the Imperial Master very well!"
"It's not much." Lan Tian leisurely sat down on the chair, but stood up again under Xie Songhua's sharp eyes. He didn't dare to sit down, so he just leaned on the pillar beside him and spoke, "It's just
, this person is really a bit mysterious, I can’t hide my curiosity at all!”
Xiao Qing glanced at him hatefully, and then looked at Xie Songhua.
So Xie Songhua said very rudely: "Get out!"
Lan Tian was startled, and then said a little aggrievedly: "Don't I think I can be of some help? Why do you dislike me so much?"
Xie Songhua didn't speak, just looked at him lazily.
Then Lan Tian reluctantly raised his hands in surrender and simply walked out.
Xiao Qing then continued: "One more thing, there is no prince in Qianyuan Palace, not even one."
"What?"
This news was completely beyond Xie Songhua's expectation, "How could this happen?"
Even though it was known that Emperor Yufeng's health was not as bad as claimed to the outside world, he was indeed ill at this time. If anything happened, it would involve Guo Zuo.
The whole country felt that the crown prince's position was now secure, and he would be the next king of the country without any surprise.
At this time, the prince was not in Qianyuan Palace. What was Emperor Yufeng thinking?
Xiao Qing shook her head gently, "I was also confused, but I was close at that time, so it was true that no one from the prince was there."
Xie Songhua fell into deep thought, but still couldn't think of a reason.
Seeing that although Xiao Qing's expression was still calm, the fatigue in her brows and eyes could not be concealed, she smiled and said: "Forget it, this matter is not something we can explore. You should have a good rest. The prince should be back soon."
"Is it true?" Xiao Qing was overjoyed, "Not even Jin Yiwei has heard from the prince during this period, is the princess sure?"
Thinking of Xiao Yu running away without saying a word, Xie Songhua felt very angry, but facing Xiao Qing, he still smiled and nodded: "It should have happened in the past two days."
In fact, according to her inner thoughts, Xiao Yu should be able to come back tonight, and Emperor Yufeng couldn't delay it at all.
After Xiaoqing retreated, Xie Songhua also felt exhausted, but he still got up and headed east across the courtyard.
Lan Tian sighed while preparing things. When he saw her coming, his face became a little unhappy, "Don't you want to see me?"
"What qualifications do you have to put on airs in front of me?"
Xie Songhua defeated Lan Tian's skills with just one sentence. His face was full of anger, but he walked over helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'm not qualified, but you can't thank me this time?"
"Thank you for what?" Xie Songhua raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand what he said.
"You can't rely on it!"
Lan Tian pointed to a box high on the shelf, "You used it."
Xie Songhua followed his gaze and looked over with a bit of coldness on his face, "I did leave a person at home to monitor me."
Lan Tian said quickly: "Hey, you have to speak with your conscience! You can develop the antidote, don't you have my share of the credit? You are just burning the bridge now."
"If I were to cross the river and burn the bridge, you would be dead by now."
What she said didn't sound like she was lying at all. She was so frightened that Lan Tian quickly covered his neck, as if his head was about to move at the next moment.
"What's going on in Beijing during this time?"
Her words didn't sound like a question, but instead seemed like she was stating an order.
Lan Tian immediately said: "I have been locked in the room by you all day long. How do I know what is going on in Beijing? Shouldn't you ask Jin Yiwei?"
Although he said this, his tone became weaker and weaker. Finally, under Xie Songhua's eyes that contained a bit of venom, he finally murmured: "It's just a few people who died."
"Just?"
Lan Tian spread his hands and said, "The most I can do is tell you what I know, but if you ask me to find a way to change it, wouldn't it cost me my life? It's not easy for me to live for so many years.
I am hiding here with you just to survive. I am not a dead soldier in your hands. Do you still expect me to fight for you?"
"You are not hypocritical at all!"
"This is the best quality I personally think I have." Lan Tian climbed up the pole and said with a smile, "If you want to know more information, you can find a way to bribe me!"
Xie Songhua threw the used cotton swab onto him without hesitation, and Lan Tian immediately screamed in pain, "Do you know what your behavior is called?"
The flesh on his body gave off a burning smell, but it quickly disappeared. Except for a few holes in his clothes, nothing seemed abnormal.
Xie Songhua looked him up and down, and then suddenly showed a scary-looking smile, "Actually, you may not know that I am very curious about your body, otherwise... starting from tomorrow, I will study it.
Study you?"
Lan Tian turned pale with fright, "You..."
He couldn't even doubt that Xie Songhua was not joking at this moment.
"Okay! Just tell me! What do you want? Let me see if I can answer you."
