The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 388

Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Qixiu were offering incense in the temple, and they got along fairly well, but no matter who they were, they would never have imagined that the current Three Princes' Mansion is undergoing earth-shattering changes.Yingluan followed Qiao Jiuxiu's previous guidance, arrived at the side hall, and then went underground with ease. Yingluan knew the topographic map of the palace before, so it was not difficult to do these things. Knowing that the secret passage they were looking for was actually under the side hall.

Although the guards at the Third Prince's mansion were heavily guarded, for Yingluan, it was not a difficult task at all.Avoiding all the eyes and ears, even in the secret passage, there is a certain gap between the secret passage and Qiao Jiuxiu's description, because Qiao Jiuxiu was unable to make a judgment at Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, so I don't know how big the secret passage is. It is an extension of His Royal Highness, and it is only the size of a room, but according to Yingluan's calculations, it should be as big as half of the palace. In this way, this secret room is not simple. The third prince has always been very economical. Mind, so spending so much money to set up such a secret room must have its own reasons.Thinking this way, Yingluan became even more cautious, even hiding the sound of her own footsteps.

However, although she is used to walking at night, the darkness in this secret room made her unable to adapt, so she could only frown slightly, took the flint, and prepared to illuminate, but she didn't want to hear a slight cough behind her suddenly, and she turned around. Turning around, he saw Chu Dimo ​​leading a woman, holding a very clear night pearl in his hand, looking at him faintly.The woman's eyes were as sharp as a goshawk's, and Yingluan could understand with just a faint look that the person coming was probably very difficult.

Her eyes were also cold, and Chu Dimo ​​said in a very calm tone, "Torches are forbidden in the mechanism here. If you light a fire and touch any mechanism, I don't care about it." His face With a silent smile, Yingluan's face turned pale.But fortunately, under the illumination of Ye Mingzhu, the subtle changes in her eyes could not be seen.I heard Chu Dimo ​​continue to say again, "Actually, I'm already here, and I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing this, Yingluan felt a chill all over his body.She has always known that Chu Dimo ​​is very difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect him to have a strong insight into all her words and deeds, and made a very sharp reaction.She bit her lip, and it took a long time before she opened her mouth slightly, "How did you know I was coming? And if I guessed correctly, you don't even know who I am, let alone who sent me."

"No, I know." Chu Dimo ​​interrupted Yingluan loudly, and said with a faint smile on his face, "You are Yingluan. The most powerful killer in the Ninth Brother's house, the most outstanding secret guard and housekeeper .”

Yingluan's face turned pale, Chu Dimo ​​had already seen the box, so he should think he was dead, how could he be sure of his identity now?She bit her lip slightly. Now that her identity has been exposed, does that mean that Chu Dimo ​​has long been wary of them, and all the recent efforts of the princess and Ye Yulang have been in vain?She bit her lip, still in disbelief.

Chu Dimo ​​walked to Yingluan's side, lifted Yingluan's chin with his slender fingers, and said in an evil tone, "Don't make any sophistry, this king has already guessed your identity. Besides, you are also You are so confused. Yirong can cover up your face, but you can’t cover up your figure. And you have a unique temperament, is it something that an ordinary maid should have? And those tricks that Chu Dichen played with this king, I don’t know Debunking it doesn't mean I'll be tricked."

The smile on his face deepened, and when Yingluan was about to fight back, he took two steps back, and at the same time, the woman behind him blocked Yingluan's movement.

Although it was just a very simple fight, with just these two strokes, Yingluan could clearly know that he was definitely not a match for the woman in front of him. The move just now was simply simple, if it wasn't for her not wanting her own life , she is afraid that she will die now.And the reason why she didn't kill her was not because of kindness.It was because Chu Dimo ​​didn't order her to kill, and Chu Dimo ​​must have something to say to himself.

She took a step back slightly, although she said so, but it is estimated that this woman will soon take her own life, because Chu Dimo ​​wants her life, it is not a day or two. Did you ask Ye Yulang to kill her once?At that time, she was lucky enough to hide it from the sky, so this time, it will not be so simple.She was full of worry in her heart, but the sharpness in her eyes became more and more fierce.

It's just death. On the first day Yingluan became a dead soldier, she had already seen through all of this. Now she just wants to know where she lost, and when did Chu Dimo ​​discover all this? .

"Hey, Third Prince." Yingluan is not afraid of death at all, so the expression on his face is very peaceful, "If it is possible, I would like to know, when did you know that I am still alive, and about the prince's plan? How much do you know. Anyway, I am going to die, and you are lucky to let me die more clearly. I think you also want to share these things with me."

With a faint smile, Yingluan looked at Chu Dimo ​​quietly, as if she didn't feel the danger of that person at all.The woman beside Chu Dimo ​​looked back at her master, as if she was begging her to take Yingluan's life now.Like Yingluan, she was born as a killer.Therefore, it can be seen at a glance that Yingluan is also a first-class expert. If such a person can die in her own hands, it will definitely become a capital to show off in the future, and she can't wait.

But even if he couldn't wait any longer, he would only act after hearing Chu Dimo's orders.Chu Dimo ​​nodded, he really wanted to tell Yingluan about his plan, otherwise such a good plan, if she didn't know it, she would go to hell, wouldn't it be a pity?It's no big deal if you just tell the plan to a dead person.He then cleared his throat.

"In the beginning, I didn't know your plan. Ye Yulang's surrender at the beginning, I also thought it was sincere. After all, he came to my house in person and showed enough sincerity. And I know he has a grudge against the ninth brother. , so it is logical that he can become my ally. And as a newly promoted general, he can indeed help me a lot. The reason why I am suspicious is because he has been in and out of Zuixian Tower for several days, going up and down the capital, We all know that it is a place used by officials to talk about secrets, how many secrets does he have, and he needs to appear in that place every day, so I feel that there must be something hidden in him."

Knowing that Chu Dimo's observations have always been very meticulous, Yingluan just nodded, and then heard him continue, "Although Zuixian Tower is a very safe place, it doesn't mean that there is no eyeliner for me. However, my eyeliner can only be installed for a month at most, and it is often driven out in less than a month, so I believe that behind the Zuixian Tower, there must be an expert supporting him, and this expert has the same stand. I should be opposed. Otherwise, my people will not be driven out every time."

Zuixian Tower is Chu Dichen's place. Yingluan is very careful about the maids and buddies inside. He conducts interrogation every once in a while and kills or eliminates all the spies in secret. There is never a single one left. .Her original intention was to ensure the absolute safety of the Zuixian Tower, but she never thought that she would show her flaws and make Chu Dimo ​​aware of something else.Chu Dimo ​​had a somewhat smug look on his face, as if he was very proud, and he could even see such a situation clearly.

So he continued, "Then, I heard that Ye Yulang went to see General Wenwu. Although when I asked General Wen what he was talking about, General Wen covered it up and said it was nothing serious. But I have already noticed An abnormality came out. Although General Wu didn't inquire, but on the second day, it was reported that he followed Ninth Brother, how could such two things not make me doubt Ye Yulang?"

Yingluan's face was extremely pale, she didn't expect Chu Dimo ​​to know all these things.No wonder the prince said that the fight with the third prince would be a tough one, because the third prince was quite smart, thinking about it now, it seemed to be true, and the third prince was far smarter than they expected.Chu Dimo ​​saw that Yingluan's face was even paler, and he felt a little more proud, "But at that time, I still thought that maybe I could give Ye Yulang a chance, so I asked him to offer your head. At that time, I figured everything out. The only thing I didn't understand was, according to Qiao Jiuxiu's cleverness, why did Ye Yulang help him so desperately after Chu Dichen abandoned her? Is it really that unbearable? Or is she just so sure that Chu Dichen will definitely win?"

"Not at all." Yingluan breathed out, "Because the prince has always liked Qiao Jiuxiu, it was just a show to drive her out of the palace." Chu Dimo ​​already knew the crux of the matter, and she no longer concealed the other things. something happened.

"Sure enough." Chu Dimo ​​nodded with a chuckle, as if he was still proud, "In this way, it is still beneficial for me to save Qiao Jiuxiu's life."

"No. Her life will not be in your hands." A very calm smile appeared on Yingluan's face, and at some point, the candle had already been lit in her hand.
