There are many palaces in the imperial city, all of which are magnificent, but the courtyard in the middle of the lake is unexpectedly elegant. Su Yan couldn't help but be a little curious about this Concubine Qi.
After passing the water bridge on the lake, you can see the bamboo forest in the courtyard from a distance, which is deep and quiet, and no one seems to be walking around.
Ah Yu, who was behind her, stuck out her head and looked across. She couldn't help but admire: "This Concubine Qi, Ah Yu, has never been heard of by anyone. I don't even know when His Majesty accepted her... Your Majesty, look at what she is doing."
?”
Su Yan said to her: "I'm just curious."
All the way in, Ah Yu explained to her the history of Zhenyuan Hou's family.
After listening to the chattering all the way, Su Yan couldn't bear it anymore and covered her mouth with his backhand, "Ghost girl, if you keep talking, I'll seal your mouth!"
Ah Yu widened his two big watery eyes in horror and nodded. Su Yan then let go of his hand, looked around, took a deep breath, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and relaxed his eyebrows, that touch entangled her
The sorrow of many days dissipated in an instant, with a slight fragrance of bamboo.
"It is indeed an elegant place, Amo. What kind of people do you think the people who live in this kind of place would be?"
Ah Yu scratched his head and stared at the bamboos in the courtyard. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, "Bamboo symbolizes a gentleman, so this Concubine Qi must be a woman with very noble tastes and knowledge!"
Su Yan continued walking on the gravel road and said to her, "I remember that Yuncheng likes peach blossoms, and so does Yan Zhen, but I think they are too vulgar. This Concubine Qi is really to my liking."
Mu Xi followed closely, paying attention to the stones under her feet, for fear that she would fall, and replied, "No matter what you like, as long as the empress likes it, I will think it looks good!"
…
Footsteps were heard from the end, but they were a little panicked and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Su Yan hurriedly chased after him, but suddenly froze on the spot. Ah Yu did not stop and fell forward. When he saw Concubine Qi in front of him, he was so frightened that he knelt down.
, "Concubine Qi, Jin An!"
Su Yan looked at Concubine Qi in front of him in shock and didn't know how to speak. Concubine Qi smiled in a friendly manner, but her smile looked a little malicious.
"Long time no see, Su Yan."
Ah Yu's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't dare to raise her head. She just endured her curiosity and knelt there, but Concubine Qi wouldn't let her get up and didn't dare to move.
Long time no see? Yes, long time no see. They haven't seen each other for a long time since Wei Zhen came to the throne. After Yunlai Pavilion was closed, she disappeared for no reason. Su Yan thought she had left Rong Guo long ago, but why did she appear here?
?Then...where is Concubine Qi? Why does she want to replace Concubine Qi in the palace?
There were a lot of questions to ask, but when the words came to my lips, I realized that they were not familiar with each other. Apart from Yunlai Pavilion, I couldn't recall any other memories that they could recall.
Mo Xuan has now covered up the smell of the killer's blood, put on a palace dress, and applied a bit of powder, and she looks like a lady, but the lightning-like speed just now really betrayed her. Only the killer will do it when he senses that danger is approaching.
react like this.
Su Yan didn't know her identity, but he still had doubts about her actions just now. For the first time, he felt that Mo Xuan might not be a simple geisha.
Su Yan picked up Ah Yu and said, "Go and watch outside. If anyone comes, speak loudly to remind me."
After Ah Yu left, Su Yan asked her: "Why are you here?"
Mo Xuan smiled bitterly: "Looking for you."
Su Yan suddenly thought of what happened the day before yesterday and asked, "It seems that the person on the tower is also you."
"Why do you think it's me? Isn't it Su Ming?"
"As soon as I got here, I noticed a figure flashing past. Then you appeared. I think that figure was you, right? You know martial arts, and your martial arts are not bad, so I thought that the person on the tower should be the same.
You...But, what are you doing in the palace?"
There was a twinge of worry between Mo Xuan's eyebrows, and he suddenly knelt down: "Please save Yuncheng!"
Su Yan hurriedly went to help her, but Mo Xuan was determined and knelt down. Su Yan had no choice but to let her go and only asked: "You and Yuncheng... know each other?"
"She and I were both dead soldiers of Linguo, and we went to Ruoshui to seek survival together. She defected to Mo Fei, and I entered Yunlai Pavilion." At this point, Mo Xuan could only tell the whole story, "Yuncheng
I have taken several adventures for me, and now I am being humiliated because of the prince! Now she is arrested by Ge Yiyan. I finally found her, but Ge Yiyan is too cunning, I can't get close at all, and I was also injured.
Now I can't think of anyone who can do it but you."
"She was arrested by Ge Yiyan? Are you still injured?" Su Yan was shocked and asked quickly, "Your Majesty didn't send Yuncheng to the other palace, how could he be arrested by Ge Yiyan?"
"Ge Yiyan hated Yun Cheng for being reused by Mo Fei. Now that he has the opportunity, he will humiliate her in every possible way...Miss Su, you must save her. I am willing to do anything for you!"
Su Yan's face became increasingly ugly. His younger brother was really troubled! He suddenly thought of Concubine Qi and hurriedly asked her about Concubine Qi's whereabouts.
Mo Xuan comforted him: "Place it in a hidden place so no one will find it."
Su Yan nodded and said: "Yuncheng treats me well, don't worry, I will naturally save her!"
Mo Xuan was grateful in his heart and quickly took a few more cigarettes before he felt at ease.
At noon that day, Prince Zheng entered the palace alone and first went to the East Palace to meet him. Wei Zhen knew his purpose of coming and only said a few polite words without staying much. When he arrived at Jinshu Palace, Su Yan was lying beside the lotus pond.
On the beauty's couch, there was a sandalwood table, a pot of new tea, and a plate of seasonal fruits. There were no palace attendants around. Ge Zheng hurried over and bowed slightly. Su Yan hurriedly helped him up and said, "There is no one else here."
Ge Zheng looked at her with a complicated expression, "I still have to do the etiquette that needs to be done." After saying this, he finished the etiquette and then took his seat.
Su Yan raised his voice and called Ah Yu, who rushed out in the blink of an eye, "What are your orders?"
Ge Zheng looked behind her in surprise, wondering where Ah Mi jumped out from.
Su Yan ordered: "Go and guard outside, don't let anyone get close."
"Yes!" Ah Fu kept his posture and took this task very seriously. As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up his legs and ran out.
Ge Zheng smiled kindly and said: "This Ami is so elusive. How is she serving you? She didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"
"Although Ah Zha is bluffing, he is still considerate. In fact, the reason I invited father over this time is to ask you to help me check the recent news of Ge Yishan and whether he has brought any women."
Ge Zheng frowned and said: "Woman? He rarely returns home recently. I have been busy preparing to leave Ruoshui and have no time to care about him. What's wrong?"
Su Yan sighed slightly, "Jinyun City is in his hands. He doesn't know whether he will live or die."
On the second day after the prince was secretly sent to another palace by the Supreme Emperor, Ge Zheng had already heard that Mr. Jin from the academy was also implicated and was put under house arrest together. However, he did not expect that he would fall into the hands of Ge Yiyan. Ge Zheng was heartbroken.
The group's anger suddenly surged.
"This treacherous son has reached this point and he still won't give up!" Ge Zheng's fist hit the stone pillar, "Take away Jinyun City privately, he doesn't want to live anymore!"
"Although Ge Yiyan is my younger brother, he has no brotherhood. He has repeatedly done bad things. Where will he put Ge Yiyan? Father, I am not you, and I will not be soft on him. If I find his hiding place,
I won’t let it go!”
Ge Zheng frowned deeply and said: "Shan'er... his surname is Ge after all, you..." Ge Zheng looked at his daughter, but after all he still couldn't bear to beg her to let her son go.
Su Yan held his father's hand and said distressedly: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have said this to make you angry. But father, it is very important for the singer to leave Rong Guo right now. Don't make any mistakes. You must not
main idea."
Ge Zheng patted the back of her hand distressedly, with tears in his eyes, "My child, my father is incompetent and can't save you. But there are so many people in the Ge family but I can't ignore them. I..."
"You don't have to blame yourself. If it were me, I would sacrifice the small for the big. When we are all shouldering responsibilities, none of us can be willful. Don't worry, Wei Zhen is very good to me. If I stay, I won't
What a loss!"
Ge Zheng didn't dare to look into his daughter's eyes anymore. He was afraid of seeing her forced smile, and he was even more afraid that he would lose his mind and harm the whole family...
"Shan'er has been living in Mo Mansion recently. Perhaps Jinyun City is also hiding there..." Ge Zheng sighed heavily, "I am extremely disappointed in him. No matter what the ending is, I just need to keep one life."
Su Yan looked to the south at the bamboo courtyard on the lake. She wanted to ask her father to help Mo Xuan to rescue her, but her injuries were not healed, so it was difficult to win, and she was even more likely to die. After weighing it in her mind, she said to Ge Zheng: "
Please ask father to prepare two carriages and people with stronger martial arts skills, Jinyun City must be in Mo Mansion!"
Ge Zheng took a deep breath and felt a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty is very wary of me right now. There are even people watching around the palace day and night. If I rashly send the palace's carriage to leave the city overnight, it will definitely arouse suspicion, which will be a bad thing, let alone mobilize my troops.
.Let's do this, I'll lure Yan'er away, and then give you one of my trusted followers, and you can take action after nightfall. As for leaving Jinyun City... it's better to ask the Changsun family for help."
"Chang Sun Yue? Yes, there are many reasons why the Chang Sun family left Ruoshui at night. I will immediately notify Chang Sun Yue and ask her for help." Su Yan said excitedly.
After Ge Zheng left, Su Yan immediately wrote a letter of trust to Ayu and sent it to Mo Xuan.
After everything is arranged, success or failure depends on tomorrow night.
At night, Su Yan walked around anxiously in the room. Amin looked dizzy and begged: "My dear, please stop turning around, Amin is about to feel dizzy! You can rest, the prince can only do it at night."
, I will tell you as soon as there is news there."
Su Yan stopped, feeling uneasy and said to Amin, "Go to the palace to guard him immediately."
Ah Yu worriedly said: "Will Mr. Jin really be rescued? According to the second master's character, I'm afraid..."
"Don't talk nonsense! Yuncheng's life should not be cut off. He will not die so easily. Go quickly! If there is any news, report it immediately."
"Yes!" After receiving the order, Ani immediately ran out.
Su Yan sighed heavily, wondering whether Jinyun City could be successfully rescued tomorrow night, whether Mo Xuan would be discovered when he went to Changsun Mansion, and once discovered, whether Changsun Yue would be stopped by his father...
A few rays of light moisten the leaves outside the window, and the colorful light reflects from the gravel road. It shines on the window, and it is very beautiful. The courtyard is like immersed in a lake, sparkling, isolated from the outside world, and looks so comfortable and quiet.
, but there was a hint of chill in Su Mo's heart, slowly filling up his heart and covering every inch of his body.
At the Changsun Mansion, the guard guarding the door was about to close the door, but a man walked in and bluntly wanted to see Miss Changsun. Seeing that he was dressed in palace attire, the guard did not dare to stop him, let alone hesitate, and immediately ran in to send a message.
Changsun Yue saw the disguised Mo Xuan and didn't pay attention. After opening the letter and reading the content, she was shocked for a while, then she immediately stepped back and burned the letter. The ashes fell on the back of her hand, which made her grit her teeth and crack her mouth.
"Are you the maid next to Mr. Su?"
"Girl, you don't recognize me anymore? We have met before." Mo Xuan looked at her and said.
Only then did Changsun Yue look at her carefully. Because the visitor was masked, Changsun Yue could not recognize her until Moxuan took off the veil...
Mo Xuan! Changsun Yue was shocked, and it took him a long time to react.
"Yunlai Pavilion is closed, why are you still in Ruoshui, and... come to my house again!"
"Of course I'm here for what I said in the letter." She suddenly knelt down, her cold face showing some sincerity at this time, "Please, for Miss Su's sake, do me this favor. I will definitely be grateful.
If Miss Changsun is in trouble in the future, I, Mo Xuan, will be willing to do everything for her even if it costs my life!"
Changsun Yue hurriedly went over to help her up, looking at her face with distress, "I will definitely satisfy Mr. Su's request. I will give you the carriage right away."
Mo Xuan was moved and hugged her fists, "Thank you very much, girl, for your help!"
Changsun Yue walked outside the door, inspected the surroundings, and immediately took her to the horse stable. He picked a batch of the fastest horses, put them in the carriage and handed them to her, "Mr. Su told me that you were seriously injured, so I asked you to
Wait outside the city, and I will arrange another carriage to pick them up at Mo Mansion." She took out a bag of money from her sleeve and gave it to her, "It's a long journey, I'll definitely use it."
Mo Xuan excitedly clasped his fists and thanked him, "Miss Changsun is helping me today. If she needs me, Mo Xuan, she will release these fireworks and I will come to help immediately." Changsun Yue took the bamboo tube-like fireworks and said with a smile,
"What can I do! Forget it, if the water stabilizes in the future, I will use this to ask you to come and drink with me!" After that, she picked a fairly honest coachman for her, left through the back door, and drove straight to the west gate.
, leave Ruoshui.
Changsun Yue placed the fireworks bomb in the sun and looked at it, and couldn't help but wonder, "What trouble can I get into? My eldest Sunyue is so kind, and other people's troubles are just fine." As he said this, he thought it was ridiculous, so he stuffed it into his sleeve and was about to go back.
, turned around and met Changsun Wuzheng's cold eyes.
Zhang Sunyue was so frightened that he could not speak. He was afraid that his father had not seen what just happened.
Changsun Wuzheng glanced at the back door and asked her: "I heard that someone from the palace came. What letter was sent and who sent it?"
Changsun Yue stumbled and replied: "No, it's...a letter from a shop in Chu State."
"Oh? Who is the person who left just now?"
Changsun Yue was secretly annoyed and continued to lie: "Of course it's the guy from the shop over there in Chu State!"
"Isn't this the Moxuan of Yunlai Pavilion? She asked you to do something to save Jinyun City."
Changsun Yue looked at his father in surprise, "How did father figure it out?"
Changsun Wuzheng's face suddenly turned as cold as a cold lake, "You are getting more and more courageous. You make such a big decision rashly without informing me! Have you ever thought about whether your doing so will endanger the eldest grandson?
Home!"
Changsun Yue hurriedly explained, "I just gave her two carriages. Father, I usually have nothing to repay for Mr. Su's favor. Now that I can be used, I must help Mr. Su!"
"It's natural to repay a favor, but the prerequisite is to protect yourself first! Jinyun City was placed under house arrest by the Supreme Emperor's decree together with the deposed prince. Whether to save or not, we should report to His Majesty first instead of acting privately. This will be done to His Majesty
Where to put it? If it is discovered, your life may be over!"
"No, Mr. Su is already the queen, she will definitely protect the eldest grandson's family!" the eldest grandson said innocently.
Changsun Wuzheng looked at the heartless daughter in front of him and couldn't help but secretly feel sad: her kind-hearted nature will suffer sooner or later. Now that Su Yan is begging her for someone who has nothing to do with him, he will beg her again for someone closer to him in the future.
, they must not be allowed to interact with each other again, otherwise, the trouble will continue.
Changsun Wuzheng looked at her disappointedly and said to her: "Don't worry about this matter anymore. I will arrange the carriage to go to Mo Mansion. Don't come forward. Go back to sleep first."
"Father...you won't tell your Majesty to go down, will you?"
Changsun Wuzheng smiled and shook his head, and Changsun Yue was relieved to go back. After Changsun Yue left, a gloomy look suddenly appeared on Changsun Wuzheng's face. He looked in the direction of the carriage, and he already had a plan in mind.
