Chapter 82
"It's impossible for the princess to come back, right? There are all corpses here, how dare she come back alone?"

"But I searched all over the back mountain and found no one. Either he came back, or he just fell off the cliff and died."

"I hope it's back."

A group of people chattered and stopped outside the courtyard gate. You looked at me and I looked at yours. No one dared to come in first.

The queen said to the guards beside her with a livid face, "Go in and have a look!"

"Yes!" A few imperial guards stepped on the blood on the ground, ignoring the scattered corpses, and went straight to Xie Cijiu's meditation room.

However, as soon as he got to the door, he saw two maidservants rushing in from the corner door.

"The princess—the county..."

Yinshuang and Hongxue stopped abruptly, and looked at each other in blank dismay at the crowd at the gate of the courtyard.

"Are you the maidservants next to Yongning?" the queen asked sharply.

Yinshuang and Hongxue knelt down: "Yes."

"Where did you go just now? Where's the princess?"

Yinshuang shook her head: "I don't know, I just went to prepare food for the princess with Hongxue, and when I came back, I saw corpses everywhere, so I didn't dare to stay, so I wanted to find someone, but was stopped by Master Canghai halfway , let us go to the main hall to avoid it first."

Hongxue also said: "The servants were afraid of causing trouble for everyone, so they didn't dare to wander around at will, and stayed in the main hall until the outside calmed down before coming out."

"The empress can see our princess?"

Yinshuang looked at the queen pleadingly.

The queen's face became even more ugly, if only she knew where the thank you wine was!

In this big drama that she carefully planned, the most important person is missing. Wouldn't all previous efforts be in vain?

She exposed her power in vain, and even injured the prince. When the prince was carried out of the cave, she looked at him in a state of distress, and she really wanted to kill Xie Cijiu, a beautiful woman!

But she didn't even see anyone!
This is what makes her hate the most!

Taking a deep breath, the queen barely suppressed the tyranny in her heart, "You search for me now—I want to meet people, and I want to—"

"Is the Empress looking for a courtier?"

A clear female voice sounded from the meditation room, and at the same time, the door was pushed open from the inside. The Imperial Forest Army who was about to break in the door was stunned, and then quickly retreated.

Everyone looked over with different expressions, all showing surprise.

The queen was most shocked and puzzled. She stepped forward quickly, with a hint of questioning in her tone: "Why are you here? Isn't it in the back mountain? Why did you leave the prince and come back alone? You know I don’t know that this palace—”

Xie Cijiu was still wearing the same clothes as before, with a lot of blood and dust on them. As Xie Cijiu approached, those traces were clearly reflected in everyone's eyes.

The queen was taken aback, and couldn't speak anymore.

Xie Cijiu stood in front of her, bowed slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Empress, my daughter escaped after being assassinated and met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness was poisoned and was weak. The Imperial Forest Army couldn't resist the assassin. My daughter So we can only lead His Highness to break out of the siege and go to the back mountain."

She paused as she spoke, observing the queen's expression, "The deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army said that he wanted to lure the assassin away and let us run first, so the servant girl supported the crown prince and followed his instructions to find the cave hidden under the cliff. "

The queen's face paled slightly, "Why did you leave him alone?"

Xie Cijiu suddenly smiled, and his eyes flashed coldly for a moment, "After all, the minister is a woman who has not left the cabinet. She lives in a cave with the lonely man and widow of His Highness the Crown Prince. Not to mention the influence on the minister and daughter, it is the Crown Prince. It is also a big stain, because the minister and daughter put the comatose Prince's Highness into it with great effort, and then climbed up."

The others nodded in understanding after hearing what she said.

"That's true. If we stay in the cave together, the reputation of the princess will be ruined."

"Yeah, especially the princess is still in the filial piety period..."

Everyone's words fell into the queen's ears, and her face turned green and pale.

Silently clenched her fists in her sleeves, the queen managed to squeeze out an apologetic smile: "It's because I didn't think carefully, and I forgot this."

Xie Cijiu sneered in his heart, and said calmly: "When I came up, my servant was afraid that those assassins would come to the cliff, so she took the initiative to show up and lure a group of people away, killing and fleeing all the way, and finally escaped safely."

As she said that, she looked behind the queen: "Has His Royal Highness been rescued? How is he?"

The queen said embarrassingly: "The crown prince has been saved and was sent to settle down in the palace. I just lost my head in a hurry. There are many inappropriate words. I hope Yongning will forgive me."

Xie Cijiu chuckled: "My daughter can understand the mother's heart of the empress, but my daughter is really tired, can I allow my daughter to rest for a while?"

"Ah, it's only natural. You protected the crown prince after being frightened. I feel very guilty. I will thank you in the next day. I have found a doctor and asked him to show you?" The queen took a step forward, Concerned about holding Xie Cijiu's hand, he looked up and down.

"Are there any other injuries?"

Xie Cijiu felt that the place where he was held by the queen was like being bitten by ants, and he felt nauseous.

But due to the presence of so many people, and due to the unrevenge of her vengeance, she can't turn against the queen yet, and can only accompany her to pretend.

"You don't need to bother the doctor. The servant girl is not injured, but she is a little tired. She will be fine after a night of sleep."

Now that we've talked about this, those who are sensible should say goodbye.

Even though the queen was unwilling, she knew that this matter could only end here, and if it continued, it would be too big, even she couldn't handle it.

After weighing the pros and cons, she quickly calmed down, and her complexion recovered a lot. She said to Xie Cijiu earnestly, "Okay, you go back and have a good rest. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Xie Cijiu wanted to laugh, the emperor had said this more than once, what happened?

She lowered her eyes and bowed her body: "Thank you, ma'am, go slowly, ma'am."

The queen nodded, and left with a group of people, leaving the Imperial Forest Army to clean up the yard.

Lou Yuhe looked at Xie Cijiu worriedly in the crowd, but he still didn't disturb her because he cared about her body.

Xie Cijiu turned around and gave Hongxue and Yinshuang a look: "You guys also go back to your room first, if I have something to ask you to talk about it."

"Yes."

Xie Cijiu turned around and entered the room, then closed the door tightly, and waited until the movement outside had subsided, then she went to the window, picked up the flower pot, and put it on the bedside table.

Fearing that the wall has ears, Xie Cijiu whispered, "Let's talk about something serious, how did you get into the flower?"

Huaxin's golden light flashed, Xie Cijiu was taken aback, and then he saw a tall man on his bed.

Xie Cijiu: "..."

"What are you doing out?"

Yan Zhihui supported her head with one hand, lay on her side and looked at her: "It's not convenient to talk in the flowers, it's better to come out."

He patted the place beside him and smiled, "Come up, let's talk head to head, so we won't be afraid of being discovered."

Xie Cijiu: "..."

As expected of a dead man, full of nonsense.
