The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 215 The Emperor's Suspicion Since Ancient Times

Rong Kingdom, Hancheng, Xuanzheng Hall.

The shadow guard stood with his head bowed in front of Ning Yishu's case: "Your Majesty, since Empress Qin has returned to the palace, will my subordinates call back all the people who searched for Empress?"

Ning Yi grimaced: "No, continue to investigate. Since she has returned to Hancheng, there must be traces along the way. Be sure to find out where she has been for the past six months? Who has she been with!"

Zhe Yin was secretly worried. As the captain of the No. [-] Shadow Guard of Ning Yi's Secret Affairs Bureau, he had been working for ten years, but he never thought that the task of searching for this lady Qin would become the biggest hurdle in his career.In the past, no matter how strong the anti-reconnaissance ability was, they were exposed to the sun in front of their secret affairs. Only this mother, she disappeared, and they couldn't find a trace in the entire Kyushu continent. .

In the past, His Majesty scolded him, the captain, almost every few days because he could not find Empress Qin. Now that Empress finally came back, he thought the matter was over. Who would have thought that His Majesty would continue to check on Empress? His whereabouts in the past six months really made him wish he could quit his job.

Of course, no matter what Zuo Yin thought in his heart, he maintained a cold and professional expression on the surface, and accepted orders with fists folded.

After Zhiyin left, Bai Zixian asked Xiang Ning Yi: "Your Majesty, since the empress has already returned, didn't you personally ask her where she has been during this time? Why do you still have to ask them to investigate?"

"She doesn't say anything." Ning Yi clenched his hands into fists and clenched slightly.

Seeing the anger in Ning Yi's eyebrows, Bai Zixian persuaded: "Your Majesty, in fact, it's not just once or twice that the empress has disappeared in various ways. With her temperament, she will not do meaningless things. s reason."

"It's different this time." Ning Yi said in a low voice.

"Different?" Bai Zixian was puzzled, "What's the difference?"

Ning Yi: "It feels like. When she comes back this time, it's not just that she has something on her mind and doesn't talk about it, but she's covering up something."

"Your Majesty, are you overthinking?" Bai Zixian frowned. Emperors have been suspicious since ancient times, and His Royal Highness King Ning may not be able to escape this law.

"Wait until they get the result of their investigation, then they will know whether I am careless." Ning Yi said.

On the other hand, after returning to the palace, Qin Wan was still asked by Ning Yi to live in the Chonghua Palace, and she was not allowed to live in other harem palaces.Qin Wan took a comfortable bath, slept soundly, and didn't get up until the sun was high.

"Liuying, don't give me a complicated bun, just a simple one," Qin Wan said.

Liu Ying said unwillingly: "Mother, do you know that all the girls who participated in the concubine selection have now entered the palace and lived in the Twelve House of the West Palace. What do you do? Now that you're back in the palace, how you dress up is according to my instructions, so don't make up your own mind."

Qin Wan curled her lips: "No wonder Ning Yi said that he is a little afraid of you now, you girl is getting more and more domineering."

Liuying snorted coldly: "If only I were really domineering! If I was really domineering, I'll chain you up every day, my lady, and put you in an iron cage, and see where you can go!"

"Don't stop, the hairstyle is free, you can do it, and you still have to be free." Qin Wan laughed helplessly, "Okay, what can you do if you want to do this hair."

When Liuying helped Qin Wan comb her hair, Qin Wan looked in the mirror and looked bad.

The number and weight of the bun and hairpin rings, even if they did not reach the level of a queen, were definitely comparable to that of an imperial concubine.

"Liuying, are you exaggerating?" Qin Wan complained.

"No way, I'm referring to the meaning of the empress, and I'm a little more reserved." Liu Ying disagreed.

Qin Wan couldn't argue with her, so she stood up with a dingling on her head and said, "Liuying, bring me some desserts or pancakes, I'm going to feed the two deer in the garden."

Liuying took a small bamboo basket and put some small cakes and rice cakes: "I'll accompany the empress."

"Liuying Shanggong is so busy every day, how can I have free time to accompany me to feed the deer, I can go by myself if I have nothing to do. Don't worry, I am familiar with Beirong Palace." Qin Wan said.

Liu Ying immediately refused: "No, ma'am, as long as you are out of my sight, you won't know where to go in the next second. I have suffered so many losses, this time I will definitely watch you."

As she said that, she called a little palace maid and introduced to Qin Wan: "Madam, this girl's name is Li Yu. From now on, if I'm not around, let her follow you."

Then Liu Ying turned to Li Yu and ordered seriously: "Li Yu, our empress is His Majesty's heart, His Majesty's liver, and His Majesty's life. From today on, you should follow our empress closely, and you must not let her get hurt, let alone She is sick and tired and unhappy, especially if she can’t be left alone, so I keep a close eye on her. Even if she tells you to retreat, you can’t retreat, whether it’s hugging a pillar or leaning against a wall , absolutely cannot retreat! Did you hear that?"

"Yes, this servant obeys." Carp replied firmly.

Qin Wanwan looked at the carp. As the name suggests, she is not a girl with a bright face, but it is true that she is dead at first glance. Liu Ying must have picked her out to look at her.

Heaven, earth...

Qin Wan kept complaining, but there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, okay, I'll just take her with me wherever I go." Qin Wan pouted and walked out with the basket in hand.

Carp followed closely for half a step, and followed her with his head down.

Carp is Liuying's apprentice who has been carefully selected from a group of little palace ladies.When she entered the palace, she was on duty in the Bureau of Miscellaneous Affairs. At that time, His Majesty Ning Xian was still the emperor, and Empress Qin was still Mrs. Qin.Although she had never met Qin Wan, she had also heard about Mrs. Qin's swift and resolute actions, as well as her success in front of His Majesty Ning Xian, the Ninth Princess, and His Majesty who was the regent at that time.

Originally, she thought that Qin Wanhui was the kind of lonely and cold master who was hard to get close to. When she was promoted by Liuying Shanggong to Chonghua Palace, she was filled with anticipation and awe. "Your Majesty's heart and soul" Qin Niangniang made a mistake in front of her, but when she saw her today, it was completely different from what she had imagined.

Qin Wan walked out of Chonghua Hall with Li Yu, looked back into the hall, and after confirming that Liuying was not following, she immediately removed all the hairpins from her hair and put them in Li Yu's hands.

Afterwards, she casually tied up her cascading black hair with a golden hairpin of a vermilion bird.

"Ah, it's comfortable..." Qin Wan stretched her waist, smiled and said to Li Yu, "You don't have to be too nervous to follow me, Liu Ying likes to make a fuss. Find a place to hide these jewelry in a while, let's go to Yu Go play by the lake in the garden."

Carp was at a loss for a while, so he could only obey. According to Qin Wan's instructions, he hid a pile of jewelry under a holly bush, and then followed Qin Wan to the lake in the Imperial Garden.

They had just walked to the Ming Lake in the imperial garden. In late summer, the sky was bright and the waves were clear, and lotus leaves and lotus flowers bloomed in the lake.Qin Wan walked to the lake, took a breath of comfortable air, and suddenly followed the wind, and there was a pleasant sound of guqin.

"Huh? Why is there someone playing the piano in the palace?" Qin Wan became interested as soon as he heard it, and searched for the sound.

Along the corridor, bypassing the bamboo forest, and walking across a section of Jiuqu bridge, at the end of the bridge, Qin Wan finally found the person playing the piano.

Straight back, elegant figure, Dongyi Kingdom palace dress with lake blue background, embroidered green luan with gold thread, making people feel that they are so noble that they are not like ordinary people.

Suddenly, Qin Wan felt that the description of "not like a mortal" was a bit inappropriate, so she changed the term in her mind, and the temperament of the woman playing the piano in front of her was much nobler than most of the fairies she had seen.

Who in the world doesn't like beauties?

Qin Wan tidied up her appearance, maintained the solemnity of etiquette, and walked into the small pavilion.

When the beauty heard someone coming, she stopped the piano in her hand and turned to look at Qin Wan.

It just so happened that the wind was blowing, the blue hair was blowing, the skirts were fluttering, there was a little heroism in the eyebrows and eyes, and there was a faint smile on the corner of the mouth. Even if Qin Wan was a woman, she was amazed by the beauty in front of her.

Then, the beauty turned sideways to Qin Wan and said, "Dongyi Yaoxing, I have seen Mrs. Qin."

Qin Wan was a little surprised: "How did Princess Yaoxing know me?"

Yao Xing said: "Dare to ask, is there any other lady in Beirong Imperial Palace who can walk around in the garden with such a relaxed expression like you, wearing the most noble palace attire and wearing a comfortable bun?" ?”
