Ning'an Palace is not too far from the ancestral temple, with only a palace garden and two corridors in between.
When Luo Junhe hurried over, he happened to find the maid of Jiuhuangmei guarding outside the Ning'an Palace.
Qin Xian also saw the Crown Prince early. When he saw the Crown Prince approaching, he leaned over and saluted him: "Crown Prince."
"Where is the Ninth Prince Consort?"
The Crown Prince stopped in front of the little maid and looked inside the palace, "Has the Ninth Prince Consort gone in?"
"Yes." Qin Xian replied softly.
"How long have you been in there?"
"Have some tea."
"Is there any black armor coming out?"
"No."
"Yeah." After hearing this, Luo Junhe breathed a sigh of relief. The black armor didn't come out, which meant that there was no conflict between the two parties.
He has met the Ninth Prince Consort twice. Judging from his behavior and conversation, he does not look like a smart person, but he is not stupid either. He should not be stupid enough to come into contact with Heijia.
With this in mind, Luo Junhe glanced at the little maid and said, "I have something to say to the Ninth Prince-in-law."
"Slave, please avoid me now."
Qin Xian, who has been smart since he was a child, immediately leaned down to salute and replied: "I will tell the princess that the consort is worried about her and asked me to go back."
"What's it called?"
Luo Junhe looked at her with satisfaction, "Jiuhuangmei and I will praise you someday."
"Slave Qin Geng."
After saying that, Qin Geng resigned and left.
After the maid named Qin Xian left, Luo Junhe waited outside the palace garden for a long time, and then he saw two figures walking in side by side from the garden, one of them was the Ninth Prince Consort.
The other party seemed to have seen Luo Junhe, but he looked like he was going to go back and hide, but was stopped by Luo Junhe.
"Nine Prince Consort is so excited."
Luo Junhe walked into the palace with a smile on his face and caught the two of them naked. When he saw a strange man among them, he felt even more happy. He pulled them away and took Xue Junyou not far away to talk.
.
"Who is that person?"
Luo Junhe glanced at the tired old man in the distance, looked at Xue Junyou and asked, "You don't know that bringing a strange man into the harem without the emperor's father's will is a death penalty, and it was so blatant that I didn't even say anything to you that day.
Remember."
Xue Junyou naturally understood what the crown prince was talking about, but he had no choice. If he wanted to sneak into the palace, this was the only way.
"You still don't believe me?"
Luo Junhe looked at Xue Junyou's thinking look, and then said: "I said, I just want to make friends with you, not because I have any other intentions, but because you have a bright future. But...
You can't do things that violate the palace rules without telling Anyang."
"Wei Chen knows."
Xue Junyou replied in a low voice that after hearing what the crown prince said, if he was discovered, it would indeed be very likely to harm Anyang, so he told the crown prince half of the story and left the other half: "Wei Chen does have important matters.
I want to visit Ning’an Palace.”
"What's the matter?" Luo Junhe knew that the Ninth Prince Consort was hiding something from him, otherwise he wouldn't have asked many questions about Princess Gongsun that day.
Xue Junyou was silent for a while and answered bluntly: "Wei Chen discovered that there is something fishy about the jade pendant left by Concubine Gongsun to the princess, so he is going behind her back to look for clues."
"Jade pendant?"
"Yes."
Xue Junyou took off the dragon-shaped jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the crown prince, "This is it."
"I am impressed by this jade pendant."
Luo Junhe could tell at a glance that this jade pendant was indeed the personal belongings of the Nine Emperor Sisters, "What's so strange about it."
"This is the secret key to Fei Jue." Xue Junyou said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Luo Junhe looked at him with a puzzled look. He had some impressions of Feijue. He heard that it seemed to be a library, but in fact it was directly under the Luo family and was engaged in the business of assassinating people and keeping things for others.
And the Ninth Prince-in-law said that this jade pendant is the secret key to Fei Secret, so naturally it was something that Anyang's biological mother left to Anyang.
"So you are planning to enter Ning'an Palace to find the Fei Jue token?"
Luo Junhe changed the jade pendant and glanced at the man in the distance, "I can take you in, but outsiders can't. It's just human nature for you and me to go in, but to bring a stranger in is because you have other thoughts.
.”
"good."
Xue Junyou immediately agreed. Anyway, he and Mr. Shi Quan had already discussed how to sneak in, so there was no conflict.
... ... ...
Xue Junyou exchanged a few words with Shi Quan, and then the crown prince sent someone to send him out of the palace.
With the Crown Prince as a god, even Heijia did not dare to cause too much trouble. Finally, he was accommodated and allowed him to take Xue Junyou into the Ning'an Palace to have a look.
Sure enough, Xue Junyou's guess was correct. Every room in the dormitory was guarded by black armor. If someone tried to sneak in, he would definitely be discovered the moment he came down.
The Crown Prince was still very proud, so Black Armor temporarily withdrew his team and left the entire dormitory.
As soon as he entered the dormitory, Xue Junyou followed Shi Quan's instructions and looked carefully in the main hall, including the corners and nooks and crannies. In short, he bent down and rummaged through the places that were easily overlooked.
"The things that Imperial Concubine Gongsun intends to hide shouldn't be so casual, right?"
Luo Junhe looked at it happily. In order to save time, he said to him: "What does the token you are looking for look like? I will help you find it too."
"I'm not sure. Feijue only said it was a Yin-Yang token."
Xue Junyou lay on the ground and looked back and forth while eating a stomachful of dust, "The Crown Prince does not need to help, I will find it as soon as possible."
The reason why Xue Junyou said this was because he really found something unusual.
It is in the soil of a potted plant. Logically speaking, although no one lives here, there are still people cleaning it every day.
In this case, someone will naturally take care of the potted plants. However, although it is winter, the other potted plants are still growing vigorously. Only this potted plant, although still alive, is extremely withered and yellow. It looks a little bit yellow.
Not healthy either.
Xue Junyou was curious, so he held his hand with a silk scarf and groped in the soil. Sure enough, he found something like an instant hard pill.
Xue Junyou didn't have time to look at those things, so he put the soiled silk scarf into his arms.
He stood up and looked around again. Everything in the palace was very clean. Even if there was something left behind, it would be cleaned up thoroughly after ten years of cleaning.
Seeing that there was no place to look for, Xue Junyou followed Shi Quan's instructions and planned to enter Concubine Gongsun's bedroom to get the wooden box in the secret compartment.
"etc!"
Luo Junhe grabbed Xue Junyou with a little worry on his face, "This is the place where Concubine Gongsun previously slept. Don't disturb her at will."
"But now that we've all come in, there might be some important tokens inside." Xue Jun said worriedly. If the Crown Prince was so conservative, it would be difficult to get the wooden box hidden in the secret compartment.
Unexpectedly, what surprised Xue Junyou was that the crown prince was not conservative at all, but had an instinctive fear of the unknown.
"Then go look for it yourself. I'll go out and wait for you. After you get out of there, be sure to wash your hands."
After Luo Junhe finished speaking, he turned around and quickly left the dormitory.
Xue Junyou suddenly realized that he was afraid that Concubine Gongsun's incurable disease would infect him.
However, the Crown Prince also reminded him that if it was really cancer, Xue Jun would not be afraid, since it was not contagious after all. However, if Princess Gongsun really died of poisoning, she might indeed be infected with some kind of poisonous gas.
So Xue Junyou casually found a piece of tablecloth to cover his mouth and nose. He also took a golden elixir given to him by his teacher beforehand. Ever since he was injured by the snow mastiff, he carried this life-saving elixir with him wherever he went.
After being prepared, Xue Junyou pushed the door open and entered, and a crisp sound of wind chimes entered his ears.
Xue Junyou rubbed his eyes in disbelief. There were all kinds of wind chimes hanging all over the room, and even the color of the entire bedroom was a particularly warm tone.
I think Concubine Gongsun Huang must be a very gentle person, or she must love Anyang very much.
Amidst the pleasant sound of wind chimes, Xue Junyou slowly approached the big bed that seemed to have been unused for a long time.
He climbed onto the bed and quilt as instructed by Shi Quan, moved the pillow away, and lifted up the quilt, as if reaching out to tap something. Suddenly, Xue Junyou's fingers stopped on a bed board.
He knocked again to confirm, and it was hollow.
He quickly reached out and opened the bed board, and sure enough, there was a wooden box the size of a jewelry box placed in the hollow below.
Seeing this thing, Xue Junyou felt happy in his heart, and his eyes became brighter. The yin and yang token of Fei Jue must be here.
Xue Junyou took out the wooden box and suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and his whole body couldn't help but shiver.
He has always believed in his sixth sense. He thinks it is an instinct, just like an animal's natural sense of warning when it senses that a natural enemy is approaching.
So Xue Junyou held his breath and kept his breath, his eyes slowly turning left and right in his eye sockets, looking for anything unusual, and his ears carefully discerned some abnormal sound mixed in the wind chimes.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel the neatly folded quilt on the bed moving slightly. He raised his left hand to tighten the tablecloth covering his mouth and nose, and slowly stretched his right hand towards the quilt.
He could vaguely hear a sharp "hissing" sound coming from inside. Xue Junyou's pupils froze, and he immediately retracted his hand, only to see a yellow-green triangular thing coming out of it.
Fortunately, Xue Junyou dodged quickly and the thing hit the bed frame.
He set his sights on the thing, and it turned out to be a rattlesnake more than one meter long!
But I saw the snake spitting out its tail, wagging its tail crazily and curling its tail around the center of its body, looking at me.
When snakes meet people, their first thought is usually to try to escape or make a threatening gesture, but this is different. It seems that their first thought is to bite people.
Obviously, this snake has been trained by its owner. It is so unusual that a rattlesnake can be found among the many palaces, and it has been trained by someone.
It seems like someone is definitely keeping an eye on this place. Why?
Xue Junyou lowered his head and looked at the wooden box held in one hand, as if he had an idea in his mind.
At this moment, the snake rushed towards him again. Xue Junyou anticipated the opportunity for the general to bite him, quickly waved his arms, and flung it to the ground with one sleeve.
As soon as it landed, Xue Junyou strode to the dressing table, lifted the stool and pressed hard on the snake's head.
The leg of the stool on one side instantly dented the middle part of the snake's head, and the snake's body kept twisting and even wrapped around the leg of the stool.
Xue Junyou understood that this thing could move for a while even if it was dead, not to mention that there was a nerve tissue in its head that could automatically bite it after death, so he chose to crush its head to pieces first.
