The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 578 Bloody Trap (6)
"What can Yao Shuyi be so anxious about?" Although Qingchen was puzzled, he didn't think much about it after all. Xiao Yinzi only came over at a fixed time every day. Even if there was something, she couldn't find it right now He went to inquire.

As soon as the dinner was put on the table, a bowl of bird's nest soup was only half eaten, when Jinxiu hurried in and said, "Your Majesty is not well, just now this servant and servant wanted to lock the corner door, but I overheard two little girls passing by outside. The palace maid said, Master Sun and He Shuyi had a private meeting in Lingyin Pavilion, and the empress has already gone to fetch him."

Qingchen stood up suddenly when he heard the words, and said anxiously and incredulously: "How is this possible, even if He Shuyi and Mrs. Sun had an engagement before, but the Sun family retired first, and He Shuyi is so precious How could it be possible to have a private meeting with him in the palace? Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Jinxiu was also very dazed, apparently not knowing what was going on with this sudden incident, Jin Xin suddenly realized: "The gate of the palace will be locked in half an hour, and Shuyi was in such a hurry just now. Are you really going to see Mr. Sun? Lingyin Pavilion is a place for listening to operas in the palace. Usually, few people go there. If the empress catches He Shuyi and Mr. Sun there, then Could it be that you can’t speak clearly.”

"Did Master Sun enter the palace this afternoon?" Qingchen always felt that this was a bit strange, and he was puzzled and uneasy, "He is a foreign minister, how dare he trespass into the harem without an edict? This alone is a serious crime. What do you think? If the queen sees the two of them alone in such a secluded place, how can he make it clear? Is he trying to kill He Shuyi?"

Jinxiu frowned and tried to recall: "Little Xiangzi seems to have vaguely mentioned something today. This afternoon, the emperor called several ministers to discuss state affairs in the imperial study. I don't know if Mr. Sun is there, but if it's true, I heard it Yes, Lord Sun must be there too."

"How can this be good?" Qingchen was in a panic, his palms were sweating, he didn't know what to do for a while, no one in his palace could get out, and right now he couldn't even find a messenger .

"It would be great if the two of them really meet for something, but I'm afraid it's a trap set up by someone, and that would be terrible." Yun Lan also said with some worry: "The queen got the news when the two met, how do you look at it?" It's all premeditated."

When she said this, Qingchen was even more anxious, to catch the traitor and the two, if the two of them were caught, it would be like breaking the emperor's arm in the previous court, and she would also lose the only person she could trust in the harem.This plan of framing really benefited the queen.

Taking a step back, even if the emperor is willing to trust them, Ye Hanyu's temperament has always been weak, and she can't bear to meet a man who has a marriage contract in private, just gossip from others.

Seeing that it was getting late outside, Jinxiu said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let the slaves sneak out through the corner gate to inform He Shuyi? Lingyin Pavilion is closer to us, and it will take some time for the Empress to come from Chengkun Palace. As long as He Shuyi is allowed to leave quickly, even if the queen captures Mrs. Sun, it will not prove anything."

"You are not allowed to go out. The emperor ordered me to ground my feet. He clearly ordered that no one in Duanyang Palace should enter or leave at will. Disobedience to the imperial decree is a crime of beheading. I cannot let you take risks. You should go to me." Qingchen made up his mind, Instruct Jin Xin to say: "Go and bring me a set of Xiao Xiangzi's clothes. It will be less conspicuous to wear his clothes at night. Besides, I still have a jade pendant to protect my life. The emperor will not kill me because of it."

Jinxin knew how important Ye Hanyu was to Qingchen, so she hurriedly agreed and went to borrow Xiao Xiangzi's clothes. Xiao Xiangzi waited for her to change and sent her to the corner gate, and said a little worriedly: "Madam, Why don't you go as a slave, after all, slaves are used to walking at night, this black light is blind, what if we bump into each other?"

Qingchen leaned out and saw no one around, so he whispered: "I'm not that delicate, you just wait for me to come back, no matter whether I can come back, any of you must not step out of Duanyang Palace. No?"

"Yes, the servant knows, my lady, be careful." Xiao Xiangzi saw her running out with a worried face, glanced at Yun Lan, and saw that Yun Lan also had an anxious expression on his face.

It was just dark, and many places in the palace had not yet had time to light the lights, and the moon had not yet risen, so the road was pitch-black. Even though Duanyang Palace was much closer to Lingyin Pavilion than Chengkun Palace, Qingchen still took a shortcut in the artificial mountain forest , stumbling forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot, a thin layer of sweat broke out on the forehead as he ran anxiously.

Seeing that Lingyin Pavilion was close in front of her eyes, she still kept an eye out, and instead of rushing in directly, she looked around vigilantly, and seeing that no one was there, she quietly pushed open the door of Lingyin Pavilion.

And just when Qingchen stepped into Lingyin Pavilion, a little eunuch sneaked out from behind the rocks and ran towards Bixiao Palace.

When Concubine Li heard that Qingchen had left Duanyang Palace, a satisfied and sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I know that as long as Ye Hanyu is in trouble, she will definitely not sit and wait, Yinxiang, let's go to see the emperor, just say there is someone in Duanyang Palace Disobeyed the imperial decree and left the palace privately."

Here, Concubine Li took people to meet the emperor in a mighty way. At the same time, Qingchen entered Lingyin Pavilion and saw that it was quiet all around. Only one room in the rest room on the second floor was lit, and there were two overlapping His figure was reflected in the window, as if embracing her.

Qingchen looked back, feeling a little panicked in his heart, this place is really too quiet, no matter how lively a place in the palace is, once it is quiet, there will always be a gloomy feeling.

She ran to the corridor on the second floor, but she didn't see anyone letting out the wind. The original uneasiness and doubts in her heart became more and more intense. Does Ye Hanyu really have feelings for Sun Zhaoming? Otherwise, why did she come to meet alone, not even a personal girl? bring?
Time was running out and she couldn't allow her to think too much, Qingchen knocked on the door forcefully, lowered her voice and asked anxiously: "Sister Ye, are you inside, the queen brought people to arrest you, if you are inside, come out quickly. "

There was no sound inside, and the door was ajar. Qingchen waited for a while and there was no movement, but he couldn't care less, so he stepped heavily and pushed the door in.

There were many veils hanging in the room, which were fluttering to block the view. There was only a faint candle by the window. She pushed aside the veils and walked over, "Sister Ye, ah..."

A suppressed scream came from Lingyin Pavilion, Qingchen was overwhelmed by the scene in front of him, and backed away out of fear, but at this moment, someone pushed her hard from behind, and she Unprepared, he was pushed straight forward and fell down in a pool of blood.
