Chapter 373 Meeting Emperor Zhou

"Sister, I know you may not believe it. But what I said is true! I grew up with the emperor's brother, and the emperor's brother has always been very kind to me. But... the empress dowager doesn't seem to like us , she is very fierce, she seems to be particularly repulsive to me and my mother." When talking about the queen mother, a look of confusion flashed in Wen Yu's eyes.

At such a young age, she still doesn't really understand why Queen Mother Zhong rejects her and Princess Zhao so much.In fact, maybe she might understand a little bit, but she couldn't figure it out.

In fact, Wen Yu has always been very good, especially in front of the Queen Mother, she always imitated her mother to be cautious in front of the Queen Mother.

"My mother told me that when I met the empress dowager, I should not say too much except to salute. I have always been very good! But the empress dowager still let me move here with my mother. After arriving here, I seldom talk to the emperor. Brother played together." Wen Yu said, lowering her head slightly.Perhaps it was because thinking of the happy things in the past made her little face more yearning.

Qing Li asked subconsciously, "This is all in the past, so how do you know what happened to the later emperor?"

There will always be a day when they move to Beiyuan. If Little Zhou Emperor really loves her, he will always find a way to bring her out of Beiyuan.But now their mother and daughter not only live in a place like Beiyuan, but even across a dead man's cave.

As if seeing her thoughts, or maybe it was just a mistake, Wen Yu said, "The emperor's brother often came to Beiyuan to visit me secretly. Well, it's right here. That's where the emperor's brother and I were at that time." We met. He will bring me a lot of fun and delicious food as before. The emperor’s brother also told me that he once mentioned to the empress dowager that he would take me and my mother back, but the empress dowager disagreed... "

As he spoke, his voice sank slightly.

"So, the emperor has been sneaking into Beiyuan from this dog hole all this time to see you?"

Wen Yu nodded, "Yes, but the emperor's brother hasn't come for a long time. He made an appointment with me before, but he didn't show up...I'm really worried about the emperor's brother, sister, can you take me to see him?"

Qing Li was still a bit hesitant, as it was really inconvenient for her to bring Wen Yu with her.Her hesitation was just thinking about how to reject her, but Wen Yu didn't seem to give up, she insisted on pulling Qing Li and said, "At that time, the emperor's elder brother often took me to sneak out of Beiyuan to play, and I knew a lot of secrets! Sister, if you take me there, I will tell you all those secrets when I come back... Although, mother won't let me tell others!"

Qing Li couldn't help but began to look at Wen Yu, she was just a young princess, but she seemed to be very familiar with the affairs of the Zhou Kingdom's palace, and Qing Li had noticed it since she was in the dead man's cave.She could feel that what Wen Yu said was not a lie, and judging by her appearance, she seemed to know more than just about the dead man's cave.

"Sister, are you okay?"

Wen Yu still waved Qing Li's arm, her small eyes were persistent and firm, as if if Qing Li didn't agree tonight, she would continue to ask like this.

"But why did you ask me to take you there?"

"I know where the emperor's brother is, but those guards... I, I have nothing to do. If mother, mother knows, she will definitely blame me and won't let me go."

Qing Li sighed, and put his hands on Wen Yu's shoulders, "Princess, it's not that I don't want to take you there. What you're looking for is the emperor after all. If I take you there, the two of us have big goals and will compare each other." It's easy to find. But I can find him for you, if you have something to say, I'll tell him and let him come to you."

Wen Yu paused for a moment, and quickly took out a box of paper cranes that she had prepared a long time ago from her bosom.Wen Yu stuffed all the thousand origami cranes in this box, which he had folded himself, into Qing Li's hands.

"Sister, can you really not take me there?"

Qing Li shook her head, she pointed to the sky.It was only the second watch when she came out, but now it is the third watch.If I continue to talk to Wen Yu like this, I'm afraid it will be dawn.Once the sun rises, the medicinal powder she prepared before will lose its effect, and neither of them can go where they want to go.

"It's not that I can't take you there, it's that I'm really not that good..." Qing Li said half-coaxingly, "All I can do is to help you bring your words and deliver your things. Princess, the palace is heavily guarded, It's not that simple."

Wen Yu couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes, she grabbed Qing Li's hand, and repeatedly said, "Okay, then when you see the emperor's brother, you must give him the thousand paper cranes, and you must tell him that I gave them to you." , must tell him, I am very worried about him!"

Qingli nodded.

Wen Yu finally compromised, and she was relieved.So she sent Wen Yu back to her own room, and then went back to the dead man's cave to track him down.

It is now the third watch, the moonlight is hazy, but there is enough light to illuminate it.Under the moonlight, the entire dead man's cave took on an unusually strange appearance. The corpses here were not as good as ordinary corpses, and it looked even more eerie and empty in the middle of the night.

Qing Li approached, and she sprinkled some phosphorescent powder, so she could find their route based on the night light left behind, and this phosphorescent powder only glows at night, and it will lose its effect when the sun comes out the next day.She waited and watched, but found that the reason why these corpses looked so terrifying was because they were too empty.

Not only that, but every dead man had a horrified expression on his face.Their bodies seemed to be drained dry, only one face was intact, as if they were about to maintain a shocked and terrified posture.This kind of expression on them looks even more weird on such a night.If they can really become ghosts, I'm afraid they will definitely become evil ghosts.

Qing Li had mixed feelings in his heart, so many people died in a horrible way, they must have suffered great pain during their lifetime.

But after all, she didn't feel melancholy for too long. The phosphorescent powder was looming beside the dead man's cave, and there were certain traces on the ground.But after all, there are few. Fortunately, the medicinal powder she prepared was modified with phosphorescent powder.

Qing Li chased after him, walked to the arch bridge, and followed the traces of the medicine powder all the way around.

The entire Zhou Kingdom's palace was almost deserted, some of the palace passages seemed to be filled with a dark wind, and occasionally there were a few shadows on the palace walls, but it was impossible to see who the shadows were.If it is the shadow of a tree, there are no trees around; if it is a person, there is no shadow of anyone nearby.

At first glance, the palace looks like a lifeless ghost town.

And soon, she was able to confirm that this was the "place of origin" of the dead cave.

"Is the matter over?"

"The little one threw all the corpses there."

Qing Li vaguely heard the voices of a man and a woman, the man seemed to be the eunuch who just came to the dead man's cave.Obviously, he turned back this time to return to his life.

"Very well, those who delivered the corpse tonight, keep an eye on them for the past few days, and if they have any problems, they will be killed at that time. If this matter goes wrong, Princess Lan Yu will definitely not let you go."

"Yes, yes, little one understands."

The two of them dispersed after talking.

Qing Li couldn't help nodding, and began to look carefully at the palace.If she heard correctly, this is the bedroom of Princess Lan Yu.only……

She subconsciously took a closer look, but found that Princess Lanyu's bedroom was almost heavily guarded, and these people couldn't tell whether they were monitoring or protecting the princess.She touched her chin and thought for a moment, then walked to a dark corner, picked up a stone and threw it in one direction.

It was just a pebble, but almost all the guards were shocked.

"You guys, go over there and have a look!"

"Yes!"

It was late at night after all, even if there were guards in the palace, they would usually be exhausted and drowsy at this hour.But this stone almost made all the guards wake up and stand ready. Obviously, this place is not so easy to break into.

Thinking of this, two guards walked towards Qing Li's direction.Startled, she quickly hid herself.After the two guards left, she gradually emerged from the darkness in a false alarm.

She looked at the palace she was in again, her expression was a little more confused and annoyed.

There must be something wrong with this blue feather princess.Otherwise, how could they be so heavily guarded?Her stone was nothing more than a temptation, but the result undoubtedly told her that the security here was not only heavily guarded, there were even more guards than she had imagined.The layers of soldiers she saw on the surface were nothing more than that, and there might even be some hidden guards hiding in the dark that she didn't see.

Tonight, it is obviously impossible to break through.

However, just as she was about to leave, someone suddenly seemed to have found her trail.

She only heard a guard's shocking words in the heavy night, "Who is it?!" After saying those words, she felt that there seemed to be a burst of breath coming towards her.Qing Li was startled, and just realized that her own shadow was projected under the palace wall. Presumably one of the guards saw her shadow on the ground, so they realized that there was a sneaky person here.

I definitely can't stay here any longer.

She took a deep look into the darkness, and then ran away quickly.

The guards behind didn't seem to catch up, and it was finally safe and sound.

In this way, the clue to the dead man's cave was broken.With the security of Princess Lanyu's dormitory, it was impossible for her to go in and investigate.In any case, at least tonight there must be no way out, even if you want to try again, you have to go back and make a long-term plan.

But she suddenly thought of what Wen Yu said earlier, she repeatedly urged, obviously very concerned about the safety of the little Zhou Emperor.Since she agreed to Wen Yu, she would naturally make this trip for her.

Thinking of this, Qing Li went to Chaoyuan Hall in the dark.

The entire Chaoyuan Palace was extremely quiet. Compared to Princess Lan Yu's sleeping hall, this so-called Emperor Zhou's palace was depleted.Looking carefully, there are almost only a few guards protecting the safety of Emperor Zhou.Moreover, the defense of Chaoyuan Palace is not as strict as that of Princess Lan Yu's bedroom, and there are many loopholes in the defense that can be exploited. For Qing Li, her promise to Wen Yu has a certain meaning.

Taking advantage of the darkness and when the two guards were changing shifts, Qing Li went directly to the back.The main hall of Chaoyuan Hall faced south, so she went around to the north.Soon, she climbed over the wall and entered without a trace.

Little Emperor Zhou seemed to sense someone coming in, and immediately got up, he yelled with some fear, "Yes?" Just as he yelled a word, Qing Li covered his mouth.

The little Emperor Zhou whimpered a few times, suddenly became frightened, and began to struggle desperately with all his strength.After nothing came of it, he seemed to be planning to bite Qing Li's hand, but Qing Li had already sensed it, and quickly withdrew his palm.
