Chapter 213 Li Fei and Hua Kui Case 4
The palace, the cold palace.

Eunuch Liu led Concubine Li into a musty-smelling room, turned away the little eunuchs who were following behind, turned around and said respectfully, "Your Majesty has been wronged."

Concubine Li shrank her neck, stood cautiously, endured the unpleasant musty smell, and looked around in a daze. In this room, there were beds, tables, and chairs, but they were dilapidated. How could she bear it when she was used to it?Do not!Can't! !

"This palace, no, I can't think like this!" Concubine Li's voice was soft and firm, "If you want to be a heroine, you have to endure hardships and hardships, so you can become a master. Princess Yi'an went to the North It’s more difficult than this!” She clenched her fist to encourage herself, “I can’t give up! I can’t give up!!” The power of idols is always amazing!She was thinking about Yan Mo, and talking to herself, she returned to her former self who liked to shine!

Eunuch Liu looked at him, and finally let go of half of his worried heart: "Your Majesty, don't worry, when Your Majesty finds out the truth, you will be able to get out of this cold palace." He was about to bow and leave
"Eunuch Liu" Concubine Li trembled when she heard that the other party was about to leave!She looked back in a faltering manner, her voice trembling, and she said with tears in her beautiful eyes, "Can I have a few more candles?" That look can be as wronged as it is!

When Eunuch Liu heard this, he was a little more worried when he got off the ground, so he quickly replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, wait a moment."

The little father-in-laws were very nimble. After a while, the house was lit up a lot. Those dark corners seemed to be hiding ghosts and goblins. At this moment, under the warm yellow candlelight, they disappeared and did not dare to come out to be monsters. Eunuch Liu left On the occasion, four people were left guarding outside the house.

Li Fei knew that there were still people guarding outside, so she felt relieved, but there were still many creepy places in the unpopular house, such as the black beams, the shadows between the furniture, and the invisible bed curtain. Pulling off the quilt to wrap herself up, resisting the chill brought by fear, in order to encourage herself, she kept thinking
"Demons and ghosts, don't be afraid~ I want to learn from Princess Yi'an! Acquire superb martial arts! Resist foreign enemies! Kill demons!" She picked a corner and curled up herself, picked up a candle beside her, and began to drip wax oil "This is Princess Yi'an's face. Eyes, nose, mouth, and hair eh! Ah." She stared at some stick figures of clowns, laughing, "Although I didn't draw them very vividly. Talking is better than nothing! Can you bear it?" It’s up to you to live through this dark day!” As she spoke, she became interested, and began to paint next to Yan Mo’s big head, “This is Lin’er’s face, Lin’er’s eyes, nose, and mouth. .and hair"

After the candlelight stabilized, another cute big head with line drawing appeared on the ground, grinning heartlessly.
"Hehe~" Seeing her clumsy but extremely expressive painting skills, Concubine Li amused herself, "It's true that Mo Ruomu failed to draw Princess Yi'an, but Lin'er is somewhat similar."

The stars twinkled in the night, Concubine Li glowed and glowed by herself, and on the other side, Yanmingyuan became a hell on earth because of King Xing's cry.
"Wow ah ah ah, the second emperor! What should I do. What should I do?! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Crying and blowing his nose with a kerchief, making a chug-chug sound!
Because Qi Ming was being hugged by his younger brother, he couldn't get away, so he could only dislike him while continuing to hand him a new handkerchief
"." Yan Mo crossed his arms and crossed his chest to look at this troublesome man sideways, "What happened to Concubine Li?! If you don't tell me, how can we save people?! Don't cry! Cry again, don't blame me Pour cold water on you!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu> Hiccup, back to Qingque Palace, I don’t want that parrot to follow Xiao Wang back to the bedroom.”

"Parrot?!" Yan Mo and Qi Ming asked in unison!

King Xing wiped his tears and said, "Well, it's the parrot that Xiao Ling'er saved."

"Could it be."

"that is."

Yan Mo and Qi Ming look at each other
"Nine Emperor Brothers! Could it be that Concubine Li has been poisoned?!"

"Ah?" King Xing raised his teary eyes and said in confusion, "Poisoned?"

"Ah!" Yan Mo couldn't stand this grumbling, grabbed the other party, and asked loudly, "What happened to Li Concubine?! Tell me!!"

"Ahh~" King Xing, who was shaken by the sound, rolled his eyes in confusion, and said vaguely, "Father and concubine are locked in the cold palace."

"Is Concubine Li poisoned?!" Yan Mo continued to ask loudly!
King Xing: "The mother and concubine are not poisoned."

"Ah..." Yan Mo let out his five fingers in relief, and let King Xing slide down like a piece of soft cloth.
"Why did the father put Concubine Li into limbo?" Qi Ming, who was finally free, looked at the tear stains on his robe and asked, looking away.

King Xing: "It's all the fault of that parrot. It followed Xiao Wang back to Qingque Palace. The concubine mother saw that it was cute, so she fed it some snacks. Unexpectedly, it said, thank you master for the reward! I heard that the father and the emperor put the mother and concubine into limbo without saying a word."

"!" Yan Mo and Qi Ming looked at each other, both of them knew that Concubine Qi was the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Xiao Wang likes birds, kittens, and guinea pigs. My father thinks that Xiao Wang is a plaything." Xing Wang didn't notice the expressions of the other two, and said to himself, "then come to Xiao Wang." Ah! Why do you punish the concubine mother... woo woo woo."

Qi Ming looked at the sky outside, thinking to himself, it was so late, and the father actually let the Ninth Brother out of the palace. And the Nineth Brother must be looking for him.
"Tonight, you stay here first, and this king will find a way."

King Xing burst into tears and said: "Second Brother, the mother and concubine stay in the cold palace alone, how can Xiao Wang bear it?"

Qi Ming: "If you are obedient, I can quickly rescue Concubine Li."

King Xing hesitated for a while, hugged the opponent's thigh and begged: "Then Xiao Wang wants to sleep with the second emperor brother! Mmm... Mmm." Seeing that the opponent wanted to escape, he tightened his arms and imitated little Linger's unwillingness Hmm, looks cute
"." The younger brother clings so tightly that Qi Ming can't talk to Yan Mo privately about Concubine Qi, so he can only moan and put his younger brother to bed first.
In the middle of the night, the streets in the capital are extremely quiet, only the voice of the watchmen can be heard from far and near. When the people are sleeping, strange things happen in the palace!

Concubine Li curled up in a corner of the cold palace, accompanied by two head portraits, because she was sleepy, no matter how afraid she was, she would inevitably doze off
The four little father-in-laws who were guarding the door three or two feet away also dozed off, their heads lost focus
suddenly!A gust of evil wind is blowing everywhere!They circled among the four of them. The two little father-in-laws who were more alert woke up immediately!When I looked up, I saw a brazier flying around above my head! !Not only that, but there are black shadows flowing on the house, on the withered trees, and on them! !It's like a ghost rushing out of the underworld, looking for someone to possess! ! !
"Ahhh! Wake up!!" The terrified two little father-in-laws hurriedly shook the people around them to wake up, "Let's go and tell Eunuch Liu, you two have guarded!" After finishing speaking, the two did not dare to turn their heads, He ran out of the gate of the cold palace in a flash! ! !
"!!" The other two young father-in-laws woke up and found the flowing black shadow and the hanging brazier, and hurriedly checked the door of Li Fei's room! "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!"

"Hmm." Li Fei heard the noise, woke up and opened her eyes, she was startled immediately! !Terrifying shadows flowed on the window prisms and doorposts! !They whirled faintly, like those little ghosts hiding in dark corners! !

At the same time, outside the door, the two little father-in-laws who guarded the door suddenly shouted! !
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Sporadic flames shot out from the suspended brazier!Hit the robes of the two of them, and started to devour them! !

"Ah ah ah ah-" The two rolled immediately and wanted to extinguish those flames! !Unexpectedly, the evil wind suddenly intensified!While confusing people's eyes, it intensified the fire! ! !
As the flames in the brazier became less and less, the brazier slowly disappeared into the night. Before the light of the fire disappeared, Concubine Li saw that the shadows were getting fainter and she seemed to understand something, her heart tightened!I wanted to go outside after taking off the quilt, and I just opened the latch to call for help! !Unexpectedly, a ghost came in with the wind in the door!It enveloped her up and down! ! !
As a burst of star dust scattered in all directions, the black shadow shrank back!Disappeared! ! !
"Ahhhhhhhhhh——" Seeing that the fire was burning more and more intensely, the little father-in-laws began to shout, looking for water sources to put out the fire quickly!There is no time to care about the safety of Concubine Li! !After the evil wind dissipated, they regained a little mobility and quickly jumped into the water tank! !
After the flames were extinguished, the two little father-in-laws climbed out of the water tank wet all over, and saw that the door of the house where Concubine Li was under house arrest was closed. film.
At the same time, Eunuch Liu rushed into the cold palace with his old legs!Seeing the mess in the inner courtyard, he hurried forward and pushed open the gate! ! !

Who knows, it's okay if you don't push, but you will be surprised if you push!As the doors opened, clusters of sparks appeared on the worn-out floor tiles! !It's like the magic of a fairy!In an instant, a light figure was surrounded by sparks and flew up! !There was a crackling sound!Only then did Eunuch Liu see clearly that the figure was a light gauze dress!But in an instant, this beautiful light gauze was burned to the ground! ! !The scorched remains of the clothes fell profusely, leaving a big "Yuan" on the ground against the dark sky and strange atmosphere, like the evil breath left by ghosts. And the figure of Li Fei has long since disappeared in the house
"Ahh! Empress, Concubine Li has disappeared!!" The little father-in-law panicked and screamed, "Concubine Li has disappeared——"

"Fire! It's the fire ghost who took away the empress!! It's the fire ghost!!!"

Eunuch Liu was taken aback, and hurriedly sent the two little eunuchs who notified him to stay and guard the courtyard!He ran out of the cold palace by himself, and shouted to the palace guards in the distance: "Come on! Quick! Guard the cold palace and don't let anyone in or out!!"

The guard saw that it was Eunuch Liu who was in front of His Majesty, so he obeyed the order and acted quickly!Strictly guard the cold palace! ! !

When the sky was full of light, Yan Mo, who got up early in Yi'an Palace, practiced his morning exercises as usual.

King Xing didn't sleep well because of his unstable mood. He could sleep for a long time, but he also opened his eyes in the light of the light. He touched the figure around to confirm that he was the only one on the bed.
"Are you awake?" Qi Ming, wearing only a plain white inner robe, was sitting on the couch sorting out official documents and letters sent by the guards.
"When did Brother Erhuang wake up?" King Xing asked hoarsely, rubbing his eyes.

"Just now." Seeing that his younger brother woke up, Qi Ming called his maid to help him change his clothes.

Before she got dressed, she saw Lu Jiu rushing into the side room: "Speak to your lord! Something happened in the palace!!"

Qi Ming paused for a moment, let the maid continue to dress, and asked unhurriedly, "What happened?"

Lu Jiu sneaked a glance at King Xing at the side, feeling a bit embarrassed. He didn't know what to do, so he could only wait for the maid to finish her work and leave before he stepped forward to whisper a few words.
As soon as King Xing heard the news from the palace, he nervously looked at the whispering master and servant.
"Go down." Qi Ming said in a calm voice.

"Second Brother! What happened?!" King Xing asked impatiently!

Seeing that the other party was fully dressed, Qi Ming took the lead and said, "Follow me."

King Xing impatiently followed his elder brother out of the side room, and saw Jianghu Caomang was already waiting in the courtyard.

After a while, the three of them got into the carriage together and rushed to the palace! ! !
In the palace, because the guards were used to search for Concubine Li, there was a lot of commotion, and rumors spread all over the place!What Shayi complained for Concubine Li!What ghost of the court lady Xiaolu is causing trouble!What kind of fairy appeared and took away the concubine Li!What kind of evil ghost summoned the soul, and ate up the concubine Li!There are all kinds of things, everything that one expects to find, but these are all passed on privately, so it can't be true! !

In the Xuxiong Hall, the emperor and the prince went to court as usual, and the follow-up issues on the northern line, grain and grass bonds, and treasury reserves were all top priorities.

Eunuch Liu, who was waiting outside the palace, heard the report from the little eunuch that King Yi'an and King Xing had entered the palace, and after a few words with his attendant Haigong, he hurried to Lenggong.
When he came to the corridor in front of the cold palace, he happened to see King Yi'an and his party: "My lord! Your Highness! My princess!" He stopped in front of several nobles panting, and saluted respectfully, "This old slave has seen all the nobles .Your Majesty has a decree to send this old slave to assist with all his strength, and he must find Empress Li!"

"Find the concubine mother." Hearing this, King Xing finally affirmed the doubts in his heart! "What happened to the concubine?!"

"Your Highness, don't worry!" Eunuch Liu reassured, "I'll wait for the old slave to tell me from the beginning." He led everyone into the room, and called the four father-in-laws who were present when the crime happened.

As soon as Yan Mo entered the cold palace, he looked around and found that the fallen leaves in the courtyard were in a mess. The fallen leaves that should have been piled up at the roots of the trees were scattered elsewhere.
"It's like this. Just after the ugly hour this morning, two little father-in-laws came to report that there was a brazier hanging in the air!" Eunuch Liu motioned the four father-in-laws to come forward and recount what they saw and heard.

Little Eunuch A: "The four young ones were in charge of guarding. In the middle of the night, a strange wind blew up. When the young one looked up, he saw a brazier hanging high in the air, and there were many ghosts running around."

Hearing this, the other three little father-in-laws nodded affirmatively.
Little father-in-law A pointed to B and said, "Later, the two younger ones went to report, and the two of them were left behind."

The little father-in-law Bing and Ding both had bandages on their hands, and Bing said: "After the two of them left, the younger one wanted to ask the mother if she was safe, who knows! The brazier that hung in the air spit out flames and burned my two robes. Yes. When the strong wind blows, the fire spreads quickly, the little one rolled on the ground, and then the strong wind finally stopped, and we jumped into the water tank to put out the fire. After we got out of the water tank, the brazier and ghosts disappeared I saw that the door was still closed."

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the door in unison.

Eunuch Liu went on to briefly describe: "The old servant is afraid that the concubine Li will be frightened, so he hurriedly followed them." As they spoke, they came to the door of the house, "Who knows, when I opened the door and looked, a ball of sparks ignited on the ground in an instant!! Push this gauze up into the air"

Yan Mo looked at the empty room and said, "Shayi?"
