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

Chapter 3 Abandoned Concubine and Adopted Daughter?

At this moment, a groveling old man in official uniform came to the courtyard of Qingyun Palace respectfully, and when he saw Ning Yi, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times: "Old minister, please refer to His Royal Highness King Ning, and Military Advisor Bai."

Seeing Liu Changshan, Xiaobai gritted his teeth vigilantly and angrily, and let out sharp nails from his claws.Bai Zixian hugged it tightly to stop its next attack.

Liu Changshan was frightened by Xiaobai, and just about to curse, he looked at Bai Zixian who was holding it, and stepped back a little bit.

Bai Zixian glanced at Liu Changshan in disgust, pointed at Qin Wan and asked, "His Royal Highness King Ning called you here to ask, do you know who she is?"

Liu Changshan looked at Qin Wan following Ning Yi's line of sight, looked carefully at her and shook his head, "Reporting to Your Highness King Ning, this woman should be a low-ranking court lady, and the veteran doesn't know her."

Bai Zixian said again: "She said her name is Qin Wan, do you have any impression of this name?"

When Liu Changshan heard the word "Qin Wan", he seemed to think of something. He looked at Qin Wan again from top to bottom, and kowtowed to Ning Yi as if he suddenly realized: "His Royal Highness Ning, if the old minister remembers correctly, Qin Wan Wan is the adopted daughter of the Qin family, who entered the palace as a concubine three years ago, after Qin Buping pleaded guilty, Qin Wan was cast into the cold palace and became an abandoned concubine... The old minister thought she was dead long ago, but unexpectedly she is still alive."

"Adopted daughter?" Bai Zixian's purple eyes lit up, with a smile on his lips, "I haven't heard that General Qin Buping has an adopted daughter?"

Liu Changshan: "The old minister still has some impressions of this matter. Qin Buping suddenly said that he had an adopted daughter who was raised in a deep boudoir. She was old enough and wanted to be sent to the palace as a concubine. Only then did we know that he had such a daughter. daughter."

Ning Yi and Bai Zixian glanced at each other, thinking about each other.

Bai Zixian said to Liu Changshan with a non-smiling smile: "Thank you, Prime Minister Liu, for clarifying the confusion, you should go back first, and I will come to you when I have something to do."

Liu Changshan raised his eyes to look at Ning Yi, saw that he was cold and silent, and couldn't stick his hot face, so he quickly kowtowed again, and retreated cautiously.

"A thorough investigation of her identity." Ning Yi raised his chin and looked down at Qin Wan who was on the ground in a daze, with a little disgust in his eyes.

Maybe Qin Wan is far from the image of a princess in his mind, or maybe what he wants is just a subjugated princess of Pei Kingdom. As for whether she is beautiful or ugly, or whether she is sane, he doesn't care at all.

Qin Wan's mind was blank at this moment, and he didn't know what happened to him at all.

Bai Zixian cocked his mouth and looked at Qin Wan seriously with his purple eyes: "Come here, take her down."

A guard cupped his hands and asked, "Master Bai, where are you taking this girl?"

Bai Zixian gave her a blank look: "Of course it's where she came from and let her go back. The old man said she was an abandoned concubine in the cold palace, so he sent her back to the cold palace. You send someone to watch her out, and after you find out Before her identity, there can be no difference. By the way, didn't Liu Changshan send eight beauties, let them go to wash and dress her up, and then change into decent clothes."

"Yes." The two guards led the order and walked to Qin Wan's side, one of them lifted her from the ground, and dragged her out.

Bai Zixian walked back into the hall and came to Ning Yi.

"You think she is Princess Peiguo?" Ning Yi asked.

Bai Zixian nodded: "Looking at his age, and what Liu Changshan said, it should be close to ten. Eighteen years ago, Qin Buping captured Peiguo Yingcheng, took away the princess of Peiguo, and returned to the country to adopt her as an adopted daughter before sending her to the palace. The timing is right."

"Then why did he do that?" Ning Yi asked.

Bai Zixian thought for a while, and guessed: "Perhaps Qin Buping had long wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, and wanted to send his adopted daughter into the palace to assassinate Emperor Liang, but in the end, Emperor Liang struck first..."

Ning Yi stood with arms folded, his facial features were dignified and steady, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.

On the other side, Qin Wan was taken back by the guards to the cold palace that he had escaped before.

The plaque at the gate of the courtyard was already mottled and hard to read, and it could barely be seen that it seemed to read the word "Han Wei".It's cold enough here just by looking at the name, let alone the cold draft felt by standing in the middle of the courtyard.

This palace is located behind the most remote bamboo forest in the entire Liang Kingdom Palace. Because it is blocked by the mountain and the bamboo forest in the front yard, it cannot get sunlight all day long. The damp bluestone slabs are covered with moss, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds. The wall was about to collapse, and a dead tree twisted and grew shriveled beside it.Fortunately, there is a well in the yard. The well wall is clean and smooth. There are two old but usable wooden barrels beside it. It seems that someone here has pumped well water not long ago.

Qin Wan was unshackled and locked back in this place.

She shrank her neck and rubbed her arms, shivering from the cold, her head was buzzing, and she couldn't figure out the situation at all.

She looked at the palace door that she kicked down just now, and felt a little regretful in her heart, but if she knew that she would be sent back here, she would definitely not be so rude.If you really want to sleep here tonight, it will be your life if you lose the gate.

Qin Wan walked into the main hall of the Leng Palace. He was in a hurry to escape and didn't take a closer look. At this moment, it seemed that although the furniture here was dilapidated, it was still clean and tidy. It was obvious that someone lived here often.Going inward again, I came to a wooden bed in the bedroom of the cold palace, and there was only one old quilt, and the quilt was so thin that it could not be thinner.

She sat on the edge of the bed, pulled the quilt over her shoulders to keep warm, the wound on her arm had already condensed, but the pain remained unabated.The burning pain kept proving to her that this was a real world, not a dream.

Looking at the reality and not-so-real things in front of her, Qin Wan sorted out all the clues, and finally came to a conclusion - she had traveled through time.

Qin Wan comforted herself for a long while, constantly convincing herself that "traversing" is a great thing, but thinking of the face of King Yama's face just now, Qin Wan trembled unconsciously.

If he didn't run away, who knows if that King Yama just now would kill him again.

And the white-haired guy next to Yama, who looks like a demon, like Bai Wuchang, is definitely not a good person.

Qin Wan was thinking about this, and began to look around, thinking of ways to escape.

At this time, there was a sound outside the door.

Outside the cold palace, a girl in black brought several guards and escorted the eight women presented by Prime Minister Liu to the gate of the cold palace.

Qin Wan took a closer look. The girl in black was dressed like a female general, with a sword on her waist and light armor. Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail and she wore a black jade crown. She looked very heroic and very nice.

Qin Wan was amazed by her appearance. Isn't this the appearance of the female warrior that he admired the most? She is heroic and majestic.

The beauties behind the woman in black are completely different from her, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, gentle and charming. They are holding various daily necessities, as well as new shoes and clothes, which are of good quality at first glance.

The black-clothed girl glanced at Qin Wan, and then directed the girls without any sympathy after looking away: "You two go to light the fire, you two go to fetch water, and you and you go to clean the room, and finally the two of you Go back and cook."

Her voice is clean and clear without sloppiness.

"Yes, Major General Yuan Ying." The eight women obeyed the order with their heads bowed, none of them dared to neglect, and they all devoted themselves to their work.
