Fortune Princess

Chapter 24 Rumors in the palace
Xu Qianxiong soon found dark lines on the neckline of the back of the man's neck, which were the same color as the underclothes and could not be seen with the naked eye. Only by touching with hands could there be traces of bumps.

"Your Highness, it looks like a character Zhao." As he spoke, he simply tore off the collar of his inner jacket and handed it to Xiao Yichen.

I groped carefully with my fingertips, and it was indeed a Zhao character embroidered with white thread.

Zhao...the imperial concubine's natal family...

"Isn't your master busy looking for a girl whose birthday is on the sixth day of June? Why do you still have time to plot against the hall?" With a cold light in his eyes, Xiao Yichen looked coldly at the kneeling man.

If Xu Qianxiong had some good eyesight, when he saw Xiao Yichen's questioning, he directly pushed the man's chin up again.

The man snorted, lowered his head and said nothing, and had no intention of replying at all.As soon as Xu Qianxiong got angry, he grabbed his hair and pulled it back, forcing the man to tilt his head back, revealing a pair of resentful eyes.

"It's fine if you don't say anything, this palace doesn't expect to get anything from you little bastards."

"Kill it." Xiao Yichen was not angry, this reaction was within his expectation.

"Crack!"

Xu Qianxiong snapped the man's neck and fell to the ground.

Kneeling on one knee, Xu Qianxiong was ashamed: "Your Highness, please punish me!"

At this moment, Xiao Yichen saw Xu Qianxiong's wet clothes clearly, and asked, "What's the matter with the clothes?"

Thinking of this, Xu Qianxiong wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.When he was changing shifts with Qi Rui, Qi Rui happened to come over with a bowl of wine.

He didn't want to drink it at first, but he heard from Qi Rui that the innkeeper made the rice wine himself, and it wasn't intoxicating, so he got drunk, and after drinking a bowl, it was really smooth and mellow.

After he went back to the room and fell asleep, his consciousness began to drowsy.He immediately realized something was wrong, bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to go to the table and pour a pot of water on top of his head, only to stay awake for a moment.

At this moment, he heard movement outside the door, and was about to check when a long knife came out through the door. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been hanging out with candied haws by now.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Rui rushed in, beckoning deadly.Forced to suppress the medicinal nature, Qi Rui was killed.With the medicinal properties on it, he rushed into the backyard with the last sliver of rationality and jumped into the water tank, only then did he relieve the medicinal properties and wake up.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed to Xiao Yichen's room, but luckily he was still in time.

"Your Highness, Qi Rui is my deputy. I didn't expect him to be vicious and wanted to murder His Highness. It was only after I lured wolves into the house that I found out that he was actually with these people."

"It was my oversight that put His Highness in a dangerous situation." Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince is fine, otherwise his father would definitely cut him to pieces!

A good fit!
In an instant, Xiao Yichen sorted out what happened.Qi Rui is probably also the concubine's man, he disappeared and survived, and he is destined to become a stumbling block for the second brother and the others.

There are not many opportunities for him to go out of the palace, this time is the best time, as long as we get rid of him on the way back to Beijing, everything will be fine.

Qi Rui secretly tipped off the news and got hold of his whereabouts.Without Xu Qianxiong, it would be easy for the dead to kill and silence.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, those people didn't know that during the period of Xiao Yichen's disappearance, not only was his life not in danger, but the poison was detoxified, so they were able to delay Xu Qianxiong's arrival.

"I'll find out about this, and I'll be on my way tomorrow." Xiao Yichen patted Xu Qianxiong on the shoulder, signaling him to be careful in the future.

Let people clean up all the corpses in the room. The innkeeper was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. After so many people died, the three souls were frightened and the seven souls were missing. He stood in the room and shook his head.Later I heard that the person who lives in the store is a big man, and he doesn't need to take care of the dead, so I feel at ease.

The group left Xingxiang Town as planned, and as long as it was night, Xu Qianxiong would personally watch over Xiao Yichen.

There were two small assassinations intermittently, and Xu Qianxiong killed Xiao Yichen without even touching Xiao Yichen's door.

Returning to the capital without any danger, the emperor was very pleased to see Xiao Yichen appearing in front of him intact.

When Xiao Yichen met the emperor, everyone in the palace knew about it, and what happened on the road was widely circulated through the mouth of the eunuch.

The noble concubine was sitting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, listening to the eunuch who was close to her, her red phoenix eyes were full of coldness.

"Imperial Concubine, Second Highness, please see me." The little eunuch came in and reported.

The Second Highness, Xiao Yiheng, was born of a noble concubine, and his appearance was about five or six points like Xiao Yichen's. The most prominent thing was the red phoenix eyes like the noble concubine's, which was very seductive, making him look a bit frivolous and uninhibited.

"My son knocked on my mother and concubine." Xiao Yiheng entered the hall and bowed to greet the concubine.

The noble concubine hadn't seen her son for many days, she was very happy, and beckoned him to come forward and speak: "Go and bring the melons and fruits as a tribute to the Second Highness, you go down."

The little eunuch put the delicate melons and fruits away swiftly, bowed and stepped back.There are only mother and son left in the whole hall.

"Mother, did you hear that someone attacked Xiao Yichen on his way back to the palace?" Xiao Yiheng asked.

"This matter is echoed by others. It is well known that rumors are spreading in the palace. Heng'er should not try to stir up trouble." The imperial concubine scolded.There are many people in the palace, and misfortunes come from their mouths.

Xiao Yichen was in danger many times, but every empress with a prince under her knees became the object of secret discussions among the palace people.

He snorted coldly: "Mother and concubine are too careful. In this Hall of Supreme Harmony, who would dare to gossip." Xiao Yiheng dismissed it.

"Be careful sailing for ten thousand years. What are the preparations for the girl on the sixth day of June? Now that Xiao Yichen has returned, we must strike while the iron is hot and proceed to the next step." The imperial concubine asked directly without wanting to say more.

Speaking of this, Xiao Yiheng thought of the woman he found, with almond-eyed Liu Dai, white skin like snow, with a full waist and limbs, a slender and slim body, pure and charming in every frown and smile, really alluring.

"I found her. She was born on the sixth day of June, and she looks good. It's just that she was not born in the year of Gengwu, but in the year of Jisi."

The imperial concubine ordered Xiao Yiheng to bring him over to have a look if he had a chance, and then let him retreat.

And after Xiao Yichen met the emperor, he went straight out of the palace to the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion.

In the valley, Jing Yi lived a fulfilling life, and even the chances of hunting were reduced.Grandpa Bai finally agreed to teach her the Qimen Dunjia technique, but she didn't expect this technique to be subtle and changeable, no matter how talented Jing Yi was, it took a lot of effort to study it.

"Old man, how long have you been occupying Jingyi!" With a loud shout, the birds in the forest fluttered in fright.Lin Sanshui came over aggressively to arrest him.

"You and Chu Xiuxiu hang out with Jing Yi all day, can't bear it for such a short time?" Grandpa Bai didn't even look at Lin Sanshui, and calmly pointed his finger at the flaw in Jing Yi's formation.

Not only did this person take advantage of them in terms of seniority, but now he even wanted to take advantage of Jing Yi, it was unbearable humiliation!
