Jiaochu

Chapter 440 Bet

After a while, Man'er looked up and saw Ye Lingxi still staring at the bronze mirror, and lowered his head again.

Yan Fei waited at the door, raised his hand and put it down again. After waiting for a while, he heard movement in the hall and footsteps approaching in a hurry. The next moment Ye Lingxi opened the door and said to him anxiously, "Brother Yan , I know where the person is."

The two people immediately left the Changqiu Palace. When Man'er came out, she saw the two people's backs disappearing hurriedly outside the palace gate. She prayed in her heart that the two people could arrive in time and that Ye Sirou would be safe.

The stars in the sky were dim and there were many cold shadows all around.

The two of them walked through the deep and silent palace road towards the Cold Palace. The further they went, the more they could feel the desolate and resentful atmosphere, and the stars in the sky became dimmer and desolate. When they arrived in front of the desolate and ruined Cold Palace, the sky was filled with All the stars seemed to have disappeared, leaving only a dark and bleak silence.

Yanfei stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push, and the dilapidated door opened with a sound, and an aura of decay and desolation rushed towards him, followed by ominousness and danger.

After the two of them entered, the palace door behind them suddenly closed with a creak, a cold wind blew by, and a phantom flashed past in the corridor, heading towards the backyard. The two of them immediately followed, and the backyard became even more desolate and desolate. There is only one ancient well.

This is the place where Concubine Yao's ashes were sealed.

"Concubine Yao, I know you are here, come out." Ye Lingxi glanced around, and Yan Fei also looked around vigilantly. A cold wind came, rolling up the dead branches and leaves on the ground and hitting the two of them. Yan Fei smashed Ye with one hand. Lingxi protected him in his arms, turning the knife with one hand to block the flying branches and leaves. After the wind stopped, a figure appeared at the edge of the well.

The phoenix robe spreads on the ground, the makeup is exquisite, and the flower pattern on the forehead becomes more and more enchanting and beautiful against the backdrop of the night. It exudes a dangerous and seductive aura, as addictive and deadly as poison.

Although it is Ye Sirou's face, there is another person in those frivolous eyes. Those eyes look at Yan Fei, like a charming and dangerous whirlpool. If you are not careful, you will sink into it, but Yan Fei's expression Unchanged, the light in his eyes remains cold and sober.

Seeing that Yanfei was not affected, Ye Sirou lightly raised her red lips and said in a frivolous and charming voice, "It's really interesting. Why don't you stay with me to relieve your boredom? This little princess doesn't understand anything. How can I love someone if I don't have a sister?" Ye Lingxi asked, "How can you let go of your eldest sister?" Ye Sirou smiled and said, "I am your eldest sister, good sister, please give this little guard to your sister. In this case, your sister can still consider it. Let me spare your life." Ye Lingxi said, "You let my eldest sister go, and I will be your puppet." Yan Fei's expression tightened, and he immediately objected, "No."

Ye Sirou clapped her hands and said, "Sisterly love is so deep. I can't live up to my sister's sincerity. Your eyes are quite good. Why don't you take these eyes out and give them to your sister first."

Yan Fei said coldly: "Don't think about it." He flashed and was about to catch the opponent, but the opponent pulled out the golden hairpin on his head and put it on his neck. Yan Fei couldn't do anything anymore. Ye Lingxi said, "This is you The emperor gives it to you on your first birthday after entering the palace."

Ye Sirou's expression turned cold, "How do you know?" Ye Lingxi said, "I also know that the emperor promised you the position of queen, but unfortunately he failed to fulfill it." Ye Sirou's face darkened, her eyes full of distortion and hatred, He sneered and taunted, "Men are all the same. They love the new and hate the old. They started with oaths and sweet words, but in the end they just left them aside and ignored them." Ye Ling said sharply, "Then Emperor Zhou also loves the new and hates the old, so you killed him. He replaced him with a puppet." Ye Sirou sneered twice more, but this smile was a little more desolate and painful, "He is just like your little guard, he is an infatuated person, I originally wanted to keep him, It's all the fault of the old man Zhu Xuan for being the one who got in the way." At this point, she smiled and said, "However, I'm not willing to kill him, after all, he has a pretty good face."

Ye Lingxi said, "You are reluctant to kill because that face looks like the same person." Ye Sirou's eyes turned cold and her expression was angry, as if someone had uncovered the reverse scales, and a puppet silk moved with lightning speed. Fortunately, Yan Fei blocked it with his sword, and the puppet silk was quickly retracted into Ye Sirou's sleeves.

"Since you know so much, do you know where I hide people?"

Ye Lingxi shook his head, and Ye Sirou smiled and said, "Then let's make a bet. If you can find the person, I won't take your eyes." After saying that, a cold wind came, and after the wind passed, the person was already there. Gone.

After the person left, Ye Lingxi could no longer hold on and staggered forward. Yan Fei immediately supported her, picked her up and left Leng Gong quickly.

After getting on the carriage, Ye Lingxi talked drowsily in his sleep. When they returned to the post house, it was almost dawn. Yan Fei asked Long Yingwei to find Bai Hu immediately, and then Su Shi came over. After Bai Hu checked Ye Lingxi's pulse, he said that she was overworked and needed to rest for two days instead of running around anymore.

When Ye Lingxi woke up, Hehe and Lingdang were there, as well as Aunt Qiu. She was about to get up and get out of bed, but Hehe and Lingdang stopped her. Lingdang said, "Young Master Yan has told me that the princess should have a good rest and recover her health." You can go out when you are ready." Xiao Anzi came in with a bowl of tonic soup, "Princess, you don't have to worry about anything. With Mr. Su and Mr. Yan here, things will be done properly."

After that, Bai Hu came over again to check Ye Lingxi's pulse, and told Ye Lingxi not to work too hard and to take care of herself.

When it was getting dark, Yanfei came back. He went to visit Ye Lingxi first and asked her if she was feeling better. She said she was much better and asked if she had found anyone. Yanfei told her to have a good rest and not to worry about these things, so she stared at him. , keeping an eye on him until he spoke, saying that he hadn’t been found yet.

She was thinking about what she saw in the mirror and wanted to find clues from it. Suddenly she was lightly tapped on her forehead. Yanfei asked her to sleep and stop thinking about it. She said she hadn't eaten yet and was hungry and couldn't sleep. She asked Yanfei to eat. Are you ready? Let He He and Ling Ding prepare an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks.

When Xiao Anzi came over with dinner, he talked about yesterday's rebellion. The streets were empty and no one dared to go out on the streets. He heard that the city gate had been sealed and no one could leave the city now. Yan Fei originally didn't want Ye Lingxi to know these things, and was afraid that she would bother her, so he asked Xiao Anzi to go down first. Xiao Anzi said that there was still sweet soup simmering in the kitchen, so he went to serve the sweet soup again.

While eating, Ye Lingxi was wondering where people would be locked up. Yanfei put vegetables into her bowl. She was thinking about it while eating, but she accidentally overstuffed herself.

After the meal, the two of them walked in the yard. She asked Anqing Hou what was going on over there. Yan Fei couldn't resist the eyes that kept staring at him and said that Anqing Hou was also looking for the whereabouts of Emperor Zhou. They searched both inside and outside the palace, but found no secret room or any other place where someone could hide someone. Huo Xuan led people outside to search door to door for the whereabouts of the high priest, who might know the whereabouts of Emperor Zhou.
