Chapter 424

There was a long silence in the room.Feng Shijin was not in a hurry at all, just waited patiently, as if he had already predicted the result before coming.

Yu Zhaoyuan didn't speak, Yi Shuang's expression couldn't be more serious, and said, "Master Shi Jin, do you know that this is a death penalty for implicating the nine clans?"

Feng Shijin nodded, and said lightly, "I know."

"Then you still want to do this?"

She said: "Although this crime is a serious crime, once you do it, you may not be able to wait for the conviction, and the matter will be over."

She looked at Yi Shuang: "I will not let you take such a big risk for me for nothing. In exchange, I will protect you from the palace and live a carefree life from now on. What do you think?"

Feng Shijin knew very well that this condition was what Yu Zhaoyuan and Yi Shuang wanted most for so many years. They also wanted to go out of the palace even in their dreams, and they would be a couple of immortals from now on.

Yu Zhaoyuan couldn't hide what was on her mind, and it was written all over her face. When Yi Shuang was meditating, she turned her head and looked up at him, and murmured: "Shuang'er..."

Yu Zhaoyuan was obviously moved, seeing that Yi Shuang didn't answer for a long time, she took the initiative to say: "Anyway, I have nothing to do in this Zhaoyuan Palace all day long, and it doesn't take much time to embroider a dress, so why not just follow what Master Shi Jin said Come on, I'm sure she won't lie to us."

Yi Shuang still had concerns, and said: "If it is discovered, it will be a death penalty."

Yu Zhaoyuan shook her head and said, "But spending the rest of my life sneaking around with you will be more painful than dying...I'd rather seize this opportunity and work hard once."

Yi Shuang looked down at her, reached out to caress her face, full of love and affection.He asked: "The reason why Master Shi Jin came to see us, presumably because he already has a plan. I want to ask, what are the chances of this?"

The struggle for power in the palace has nothing to do with him, in fact he doesn't care at all, he only cares about Yu Zhaoyuan's safety.

Feng Shijin thought for a while, and said: "Either it will succeed, or it will not succeed, the probability is half and half."

Before Yi Shuang could reply, there was a slight noise outside the door. Although the sound was very small, the three people in the room heard it.

Yi Shuang's face turned cold, she glanced at Feng Shijin, then walked to the door very lightly, and quickly opened the door.

The cold wind came in, but there was no one at the door. There was only a newly lit stove beside the door, and the flame in the stove was still small.He looked up and saw a panicked black figure running outside.Immediately Yi Shuang chased them out, saying: "Your Majesty is resting in the house, Shuang'er will come whenever you go."

After saying that, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.Yu Zhaoyuan was a little nervous, and couldn't help asking Feng Shijin: "Did our words be heard just now?"

Feng Shijin said indifferently: "I'm just worried that I can't find the ear of the partition wall." As he said that, he also walked towards the door, not forgetting to turn his head and say to Yu Zhaoyuan calmly: "Before Shuang'er comes back, Madam Don't go anywhere in this house."

Seeing Yu Zhaoyuan nodded, she walked out of the room.

The dark sky outside weighed down, the lights were dim, and the vision was dim, making it difficult to see clearly.Feng Shijin's crimson clothes fluttered lightly, blending into the night, and she headed in one direction purposefully.

A girl with the appearance of a court lady ran out of Zhaoyuan Palace, ran forward in a panic, stumbled, and looked behind her from time to time to see if anyone was chasing her.

She was the maid who had eavesdropped on the conversation inside the room earlier.She thought to herself, as long as she arrived at the queen's palace quickly and told the queen what she heard, she would be fine.

This is an incredible thing, once she reports it to the queen, it will be a great achievement for her, and it is unknown if she is promoted from a small maid to a high-class court lady.

Thinking of this, the maid could not help but pick up her skirt and quicken her pace.The road was slippery and accompanied by snow, she almost fell twice.

However, when she ran across a pond with great effort, she saw that the queen's palace was not far away, and she could still see faint lights from a distance.Suddenly at this time, a shadow flashed in front of her, and the maid stopped, and involuntarily took two steps back, looking up.

Feng Shijin was turning out from a fork in the dark calmly, her skirt swaying in the snow, like a ghost at night, extremely coquettish.

Feng Shijin seemed to be looking at her, but also behind her, and said, "Aren't you a maid of Zhaoyuan Palace? It's so late, where are you going in such a hurry?"

The palace maid shivered a little, and said, "I didn't hear anything, I really didn't hear anything!"

Feng Shijin narrowed his eyes, raised his chin slightly, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "So, you heard everything."

The maid raised her head and stared.

Subconsciously, she turned around and wanted to run back, and then go to the Queen's Palace in another direction, but before she could turn around in time, she was confronted with a burst of cold air, she didn't even see the other side clearly, Yi Shuang moved extremely fast Standing in front of her, when she had no resistance at all, he held her head with both hands and twisted it to one side.

The palace maid became lifeless and immediately collapsed to the ground.

Only Feng Shijin and Yi Shuang were left looking at each other.

Yi Shuang looked at Feng Shijin who was out of breath, and asked, "How did you know she would pass by here?"

Feng Shijin said lightly: "Isn't this the only way to go to the Queen's Palace?"

She turned around and looked at the looming palace in the distance in the night: "I remember a long time ago, did I remind you to be careful of the Queen. She has already touched Zhaoyuan Palace clearly, this person must be A spy sent by the queen's palace."

Yi Shuang looked at the dead lady on the ground in a puzzled manner, and said, "I know, it's just that Zhaoyuan and I have lived in peace for so many years, if we find out this person rashly, we will startle the snake and make the queen hostile to us. The palace is even more difficult."

Feng Shijin smiled when he heard the words, and said: "It's simple for you to think like this, but the queen is not full, knowing your every move, but doing nothing at the same time. The reason why she didn't do anything Do it, it’s just that it’s not yet the time. Once the time comes, if you want to do something, I’m afraid that your life will be in her hands, so you have to follow. The empress Zhaoyuan has already been favored by the emperor. Do you think she will let the empress Zhaoyuan go? Is this a pawn?"

Yi Shuang bowed his head in silence, as if in deep thought, and then asked: "Then what should we do now?"

Feng Shijin said: "What else can I do, let's deal with the people on the ground first."

So Yi Shuang went to the flowers to find a solid stone, tied it to the skirt of the maid, and then lifted the maid and threw it into the pond.The two stood by the pond and watched the maid slowly sinking until she was completely submerged in the lake before turning back.

When I returned to Zhaoyuan Palace, the palace was very quiet, as if nothing had happened.

The light in the room where I had just eaten was still on, dim and flickering slightly.Yi Shuang walked in front, pushed open the door first, and looked inside with a shocked expression.He rushed in as soon as he flew, and shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Feng Shijin came back into the room and saw Yu Zhaoyuan fainted on the ground at some point.
