Chapter 336: The Soul Demands the Heart Door 3
The imperial city was full of wind and rain, and there were many rumors about Concubine Qi being imprisoned. Some said that Concubine Qi had abused the palace people, some said that the emperor had a new love, and some said that the God of Plover had punished her.
In this way, at night three days later, five galloping horses came in front of the gate of Yi'an Palace.

"Quickly, inform Uncle Qiu that the prince is back!"

The matter of the remains of the Eastern Palace was sent by Lu Qifei to Lu Jiu four days ago. After learning the contents of the letter, the impetuous Yan Mo saw that the boat was moving too slowly. After arriving in Qingzhou, she left Qi Yun and the others behind. Ride directly north.

Qi Ming, Lu Jiu, Qian Su, and Lan Bo walked together, and the five of them went straight to the capital almost non-stop, day and night, and only then did they arrive ahead of schedule.

"This old servant welcomes the prince and concubine back to the residence." Uncle Qiu did not expect the master to return to Beijing so soon, and was overjoyed.

Aunt Chu and Xiao Wen had just comforted the younger brothers and sisters to sleep, when the guards came to announce that the masters had returned.

After Yan Mo settled his luggage, he went directly to the guest courtyard to visit, and happened to see Aunt Chu and Xiaowen come out to greet him!

"Big boss!"

"Sister~"

Yan Mo looked up and down, exchanged a few words of concern, and then realized: "Where's Brother Aoki? Where's the ban?"

Xiao Wen: "The second head is still in the Yang Mansion. Lao Feng left a few days ago, saying that he has something to investigate."

Yan Mo: "He didn't say where to go?"

Xiaowen: "He told us not to worry, saying that he would explain to my sister when he came back."

Hearing this, Yan Mo frowned suspiciously, and asked: "Why is brother Qingmu in Yang's residence?"

"Hey!" Aunt Chef said with a look of resignation, "Miss Yang loves the Second Master very much, and regardless of the reputation of the boudoir, she insisted on taking the Second Master into the Yang Family Escort Bureau. We can't stop it Ah, but don't worry, the first head, the second head has recovered quite well, and now he can get out of bed and walk around."

"Mr. Qi, where's the foolish brother?" Xiaowen asked, seeing that there was no one behind her sister.

"They're still on their way." Yan Mo explained, "My lord and I came back first."

"Master, have you been awake for a few days?" Aunt Chef asked worriedly, seeing the other party's unhappy expression.

"Ah..." Yan Mo thought about his current situation, and said vaguely, "Don't worry, Auntie Chef, I just need to get a good night's sleep." Went to Yanmingyuan.

Entering the courtyard gate, she was still wondering where Feng Zhi had gone, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Lan Bo waiting outside the main house.

"Princess, this is your sword."

Yan Mo took Kesha, opened it and looked at a corner, and found that there was a relic placed on the diamond-shaped sword heart, which showed that Lanbo knew Kesha very well.

"Lanbo, did the prince tell you about the black sword?"

"Yes." Lan Bo bowed and said respectfully, "My lord asked my subordinates to take good care of it."

Yan Mo still wondered how the fox knew where she hid the sword?At the same time, she was also thinking about where to hide Kesha to be safe.
"The princess should rest early, and the subordinates will leave first."

As Lan Bo resigned, Yan Mo pulled back his thoughts and stared at the back of the other party who was walking away in thought.
Now that the Longevity Gate has been removed, there should be no one coveting Jisha anymore, but its existence shows Yan Mo's original identity. Thinking of this, she thought of Aunt Mudan, who had not yet confirmed her whereabouts, and the internal force that had not yet been ascertained. bomb.

After thinking about it, she still decided to go to the side room to ask for clarification, not expecting that Qi Ming just came out of the side room.

"It's too late today, and you have to go to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow, so you should rest earlier."

"The matter of entering the palace tomorrow is over, and I will set off for the Tianmu sect." Yan Mo said a little sleepily, and after she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to enter the house.

"What about Brother Huang?" Qi Ming stepped forward a few steps, ready to advance together, and asked tentatively with a calm expression.

"Brother Jin will be fine with you here." Yan Mo said indifferently, seeing the other party closely following her, she cast a probing look, as if asking, who let you in?

"Let me stay overnight, and I'll let you go tomorrow." On the way back to Beijing, Yan Mo avoided him all the way, and finally caught an opportunity, how could Qi Ming let it go, "Not only that, but I will also tell you who I sent How about going to the Tianmu faction?" After speaking, he smiled slightly and looked at the other party tenderly.

Yan Mo shielded the opponent's chest with one hand, and said sassyly: "I won't stay with you, I don't know who you sent, but tomorrow I will go as usual, to the Tianmu faction!"

Qi Ming looked at the hand on his chest with a smile, didn't argue much, and watched the other party enter the depths of the main house.
Now that brother Huang is in trouble, Yan'er is not in a hurry, even if he is not allowed to stay overnight, he is still happy.After returning to the mansion, through the reports from the first and second year of senior high school, he learned that the crown prince was fine for the time being, but that it was Concubine Qi who was thrown into the prison.To know the cause and effect, tonight, he probably won't sleep long
At the end of the ugly time, in the quiet palace, Qi Ming woke up from a light sleep, put on his thick robe, and went straight into the main house against the early morning chill, and went straight to Yan Mo's bedroom.

Yan Mo was fast asleep at this moment because of his constant travel and the effect of the Huili Pill.

It's rare to see such a defenseless Yan'er, Qi Ming couldn't help but sit by the bed, and began to quietly admire the other party's sleeping face.

Whether it is the fireflies in the sky in the snow scene, the candles in the military tents, or Wen Ji in the Wei Mansion, or the dazzling lights and light veils in the bathing pool of Wenshu Palace, thinking of those memorable moments, Qi Ming can't help but feel that if the current How good it would be if the scene could stop here, how great it would be if the person in front of him could give up everything and just want to fall into his arms.
A hand with well-articulated bones was slowly raised, gently brushing away the sticky hair on Yan Mo's cheeks, Qi Ming rubbed the back of his fingers against Yi Ren's jade white muscles, listening to the other's breathing.
Autumn falls coldly, warm and warm,
In the middle of the night, the wind is clear and the wind is light.

The bright moon is passionate and should know me,
Don't ask why your heart is looking forward to it.

The itching on the skin was gentle and soft, and after a few back and forth, Yan Mo opened his eyes alertly!No matter what 21 [-] is, it's a one-trick cross deduction!
boom!
The mattress collapsed due to the weight of the two of them, and Qi Ming was thrown down without any resistance.

With the help of the faint night light, Yan Mo could vaguely see the bright mole and the familiar smile
"Fox?!" Feeling the other person's body temperature, Yan Mo got up subconsciously and wanted to stay away. He didn't want Qi Ming to grab her with his arms, so he directly touched her back and pinned her down! "Let go of me, fox!"

"Heh~ I'm cold." The warm breath belonging to the other party hit his face, and Qi Ming felt numb and itchy. As he spoke, he staggered his long legs, curled up and took Yan Mo whole into his arms, "My lord I need Aifei to warm the bed~”

Yan Mo struggled, her heart beating so badly, she blushed secretly, and said angrily: "Let go of me, I don't have time to fight with you, just leave as soon as you have nothing to do, I still have to practice!"

"Concubine Ai is really unreasonable." Qi Ming didn't move at all, but gently retracted his arms, and said with a long breath, "I came to tell you that the one who went to the Tianmu faction is Fengzhi, so you can Don't worry. If you're on your way for a few days, it won't be too late to set off after recovering your energy. Also, I'll take you to meet someone later."

"Seal?" Yan Mo was a little surprised, forgetting that he was still slamming like a deer, his cheeks were flushed, "He has never been to the Tianmu School, how could you think of letting him?"

"Since entering the palace, you are a member of the palace. Others have missions that they cannot do without, and only Feng Zhi can take care of them."

"." Yan Mo fell into deep thought. Not only this time, but last time on the northern line, Feng Zhi also suddenly appeared in an emergency, and also brought a fox's souvenir. For Feng Zhi's obedience, she complained, "You just think he is honest. !"

In the night, Qi Ming was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then laughed softly: "Yes, he is really honest and easy to send." As he said this, he let go of his embrace with some reluctance, just in time to see that the other party was a little dazed, She couldn't help but teased with a slight smile, "What is Aifei looking forward to?"

"!" Yan Mo came back to his senses, and quickly wanted to stay away from the opponent, but he didn't want to put his hands on the fox's strong chest!
"Huh~"

Hearing the soft and seductive laughter, Yan Mo felt very annoyed, and quickly rolled over on the bed, finally avoiding the danger and landing firmly!

Qi Ming kept staring at the other party, feeling that there were little flowers blooming in his heart. He collected his mind, turned over and directly opened the mattress, opened the entrance of the secret passage, and invited: "My concubine, please."

Yan Mo frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Take the fur coat and candle lamp, and follow me." Qi Ming shrank and jumped down without answering.

Yan Mo still frowned in confusion, took two fur coats from the closet, and the nearby candle lamp, and entered the secret passage under Qi Ming's support.

The two put on furs and walked quietly side by side in the secret road, one of them was always calm and calm, and looked down from time to time, and the other was always puzzled and curious, and repeatedly cast a questioning look.

A moment later, they exited the secret path, and the two walked through a forest, when Yan Mo faintly saw a figure waiting in the distance.

The cold light in the early morning hits everything, connecting with the frosty air in autumn and winter, and the cold wind blows into the forest, spreading the coldness in all directions.

Turning around with the cold wind was a thin and obedient figure.

"The old slave has seen the prince and the princess."

As the other party raised his head, Yan Mo couldn't help opening his eyes: "Nurse Leng? Is she yours?"

"Heh~" Qi Ming drooped his eyes closer, and declared softly, "In this world, only concubine Ai is the king's person~"

"." Yan Mo rolled his eyes.

"Ahem." Qi Ming leisurely suppressed his smile, and asked seriously, "What's going on with this incident in the East Palace?"

"Reporting to the lord" Mother Leng blessed her body and explained everything she knew one by one, "This matter must start with a palace lady. The old servant secretly monitored Concubine Qi as ordered. At noon seven days ago, Deng Shangshu entered the palace. When I came to visit the empress, I sent the old slave away, and only the maid Cuili stayed in the room.

Half an hour later, the old slave tried every means to get close, and saw Deng Shangshu leave the main hall.Concubine Qi, for some reason, was throwing a vase at Cuili, knocking her unconscious.

Later, the empress called and ordered the old slave to clean up Cuili.The old slave agreed at that time, took Cuili and left quietly, hid her in the old slave's room, and continued her life by hanging her with medicine.

Concubine Qi thought that the old slave had killed Cuili, so she thought of chopping off her hands and feet and placing them in the East Palace, so as to blame and discredit His Highness the Crown Prince.The old slave prevaricated and delayed the matter, and while he was out of the palace to buy, he inquired about a corner workshop.The old slave is the corpse ordered here.About Jiaoxiangfang, the old slave had learned about it from Eunuch Cui. "

Yan Mo: "Is that Eunuch Cui who poisoned Xiaolu to death and then committed suicide in fear of crime?"

Mother Leng: "Exactly."

Yan Mo recalled, and speculated: "So at that time, Lan Xue was poisoned, and you provided the antidote?"

"Princess is smart." Mother Leng affirmed, "It was the old slave who gave the antidote to Lu Qi's secret guard."

Yan Mo finally understands, no wonder Fox and Brother Jin are so relieved of Concubine Qi, it turns out that the real internal response is by Concubine Qi's side.

"Then how did you bring the corpse into the palace?" Qi Ming asked, returning to the topic.

Mother Leng: "Jiaoxiangfang is responsible for the delivery. The old slave only needs to go to the northeast corner outside the respect room at Youshi to get the goods."

"It's about the crime of stealing and destroying corpses." Yan Mo said in surprise, "I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven!"

Nurse Leng lowered her eyes and said with emotion: "The princess doesn't know something. This kind of behavior is not uncommon no matter where it is. It's just that the old servant is surprised that the goods can be transported to the destination smoothly all the way under the strict control of the palace. Listen The shopkeeper of Jiaoxiangfang said that the corpses would be transported into the palace together with the fresh meat. Of course, they would do a good job of packing and covering them carefully so as not to be discovered and cut off this source of income.

Afterwards, the old slave obeyed the instructions of the empress, and handed over a jar of tonic wine and the corpse to the little eunuch Chou in the outer courtyard of the Eastern Palace.The corpse was brought into the East Palace by Eunuch Chou and placed in the corridor of the outer courtyard.

It's a pity that it was too late when the old slave learned that the pot of medicinal wine was deadly.

Little Eunuch Chou had deliberately lost his palace clothes earlier and was punished with the palace staff. Because of his wounds, he was able to cover up the smell of blood emanating from the remains of his body.

The altar of medicinal wine was said to restore him, but in fact it would kill him.

Afterwards, he made a big fuss in the inner courtyard of the East Palace, yelling to give back my hand and my foot, so he ran into His Highness the Crown Prince and died the next day. "

Qi Ming frowned slightly: "Why did Concubine Qi kill Cuili?"

"My lord, forgive me." Mother Leng sighed back, "I don't know, so I managed to save Cuili, and I can ask her when she wakes up."

Yan Mo: "How is Cuili now?"

Mother Leng: "Still in a coma, I seldom wake up this old slave and I don't know if she can survive it"

Qi Ming: "Then what happened to Donggong Yaoren?"

"About the medicine man." Nurse Leng doubted, "I don't know where this old slave came from. What is certain is that Concubine Qi did not actually support the medicine man. All the expenses in the Palace of Joy are handled by the old slave. There is nothing unusual about the food and so on. Moreover, the medicine man was found in the inner hall of the Eastern Palace."

Hearing this, Yan Ming and the two couldn't help but look at each other, wondering where the medicine man came from.

"One more thing." Mother Leng saw the two of them come back to their senses, and continued, "Concubine Qi will definitely not admit to the crimes that are not hers, but this time, for some reason, she has carried all the crimes by herself. Guilty, including the medicine man."

Qi Ming thought for a moment, then asked: "Deng Shangshu went to the palace to visit Concubine Qi, is there anything unusual?"

Mother Leng recalled: "Deng Shangshu visited the palace several times, all with a sad face. Occasionally, the old slave passed by and heard a few words. Deng Shangshu seems to have been persuading Concubine Qi not to be too greedy. The twelve princes are the most important, and he also said that His Majesty has always loved the prince, so don't provoke the East Palace frequently."

"So." Yan Mo guessed, "I'm afraid Deng Shangshu knows about Concubine Qi's plan."

"Not necessarily." Qi Ming pondered, "Concubine Qi wanted to kill Cuili, or it may have been a temporary idea. Deng Shangshu knew that Concubine Qi had a lot of jealousy and hatred for Donggong."

Yan Mo: "Well, Concubine Ji wanted to kill Cuili, and it happened after Deng Shangshu left, so it must be related."

Afterwards, Mother Leng reported some trivial matters, including the fact that she intentionally held the food box to lure Wu Shangshu to follow her, which aroused the other party's suspicion.

Before leaving, Qi Ming asked him for the address of Jiaoxiangfang.

After returning to the palace, Yan Mo was still thinking about the ins and outs, where did the medicine man come from?What is the purpose of concubine Qi placing the corpse?Why did Cuili get killed?
"Yan'er, get ready, it's time for us to enter the palace."

Seeing the other party lost in thought, Qi Ming sneaks in to change Yan Mo's clothes.

"!" Yan Mo suddenly came back to his senses, and saw the fox was close at hand, and the other's palm fell on her shoulder, warm and warm, as if it could make people fall into it in an instant, "I'll do it myself, you get out!" She held back Suffering from the heat that swirled in his abdomen, he abruptly drove Qi Ming out of the room!

Qi Ming: "."
