Chapter 361

Song Qinghuan's eyes widened suddenly, a stream of light flashed in the bottom of his eyes, and he looked at Mu Bai without blinking.

She didn't expect that Mu Bai would admit it so readily, it was much more frank than she imagined.This kind of temperament that dares to love and hate, I have to say, is really similar to Shen Chuhan.In contrast, Xuanying seems to be less honest.

Pursing his lips and smiling, he raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Why don't you stop now?"

Mu Bai looked serious, "This subordinate is willing to work hard to give Miss Rong a better future."

Hearing his eloquent words, Song Qinghuan couldn't help being moved, and Rongzheng was even more happy.Clearing his throat, he asked again, "Ah Zheng also knows what's on your mind?"

The red tide that subsided on Mu Bai's face surfaced again, he nodded, "Yes".

There was interest in Song Qinghuan's eyes, and he asked again with a smile, "Her...how did she react?"

A trace of tenderness flashed in Mu Bai's eyes, "Miss Rong... is willing to wait for my subordinates."

The smile in Song Qinghuan's eyes deepened, and he looked at Mu Bai with a half-smile.

Before, she was worried that the two would miss each other sooner or later because they were reluctant to reveal their hearts to each other.I didn't expect how long it had passed, and the two had already revealed their hearts.

Mu Bai, Mu Bai, really gave her quite a surprise.

"That's right." She nodded approvingly, "I'm also relieved to leave Azheng to you."

Mu Bai rarely smiled shyly, paused, and asked again, "Young Madam, where is Mr. Ji..."

Song Qinghuan giggled, "Don't worry, Azheng, I've asked Zishu to see it, and Zishu also prescribed her a prescription." Seeing Mu Bai's surprised face, Song Qinghuan winked mischievously at him She blinked, "Don't forget, Ah Zheng is also my friend, so I naturally want her to recover as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Mu Bai's expression froze, and he respectfully bowed to Song Qinghuan, "Thank you, Young Madam."

Song Qinghuan waved her hand, "You don't need to thank me. Azheng is a good girl, so don't let her down."

Mu Bai replied heavily, "Don't worry, Young Madam, this subordinate will never let Miss Rong down."

Song Qinghuan said "hmm", thinking of Rong Zheng's life experience, wondering if she should tell Mu Bai now.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Have you seen Xiao Zhuo recently?"

"Young Master Xiao?" Hearing Song Qinghuan's question, the scene of meeting Xiao Zhuo in Chenxiang Pavilion that day unexpectedly appeared in his mind, and he nodded hesitantly.

"Have you seen it?" Song Qinghuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "When?"

"In...in the Chenxiang Pavilion."

Chen Xiang Pavilion?
There was a strange look in Song Qinghuan's eyes.Could it be... Xiao Zhuo went to find Rong Zheng?Then... did he tell her Rongzheng's life experience?
wrong.

If Rongzheng knew about his life experience, he should have talked to Mu Bai, and Mu Bai would not have such a puzzled expression now.

After all, it was the Murong family's family affairs, Song Qinghuan couldn't get involved, so she just cleared her throat and said, "That...you should know that Xiao Zhuo's real identity is not simple."

"Yes." Mu Bai didn't hide anything.He knew that Xiao Zhuo's identity was not simple, but he never knew the exact situation.Song Qinghuan thought for a while, and then said, "Originally... this is Xiao Zhuo's family business, so I don't have much to say. But since you will get together with Azheng in the future, I will tell you first, and you will be fine." There is a bottom line——Xiao Zhuo and A Zheng are related by blood."

Mu Bai was startled, but soon relieved.

It turned out to be like this, then... Xiao Zhuo's strange attitude towards him last time made sense.

He didn't ask about the blood relationship between Xiao Zhuo and Rongzheng, he just cupped his fists and saluted, "I know, thank you young lady for reminding me."

Song Qinghuan said this to him because she didn't want to cause any misunderstanding between Mu Bai and Xiao Zhuo. Seeing that he understood what he meant, she nodded and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Zishu gave me a blood plant yesterday. Spirit ginseng, I haven't had time to send someone to deliver it to Azheng, if you have time, please send it there for me."

"Blood spirit ginseng?" Mu Bai looked at Song Qinghuan in surprise and joy.He knew that blood spirit ginseng was a very precious tonic, so he was very pleasantly surprised.

Song Qinghuan nodded, "I gave it to Zishu when I was in Yuguo, but he was useless. It just so happened that Azheng needed it, so I entrusted it to her."

"Yes, my subordinate will send it today, thank you young lady."

Song Qing laughed and stood up, "You wait here, I'll go get it for you."

Going back to the room, he took the blood spirit ginseng and handed it to Mu Bai, watched him out of the yard, and was about to call Liuyue and Shen Xing back to the room, when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the yard.

She frowned slightly, and turned to look at the gate of the courtyard.

Appearing in sight was Shen Chuhan in a navy blue brocade robe. Song Qinghuan relaxed her brows and greeted her with a smile, "Why did Ashu come back so early today?"

"It's okay, I want to come back to accompany you soon."

Youyou in Liuyue's arms saw that her father was very happy, waving her little hands and screaming "Yi Yi Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya", her body kept reaching towards him.

Gentleness flashed in Shen Chuhan's eyes, he took Youyou over, teased him, and walked towards the room with Song Qinghuan in his arms.

After playing with Youyou for a while, seeing that she was also tired, Shen Chuhan asked Liu Yue to carry her down.

Seeing that the smile between Shen Chuhan's brows and eyes faded, Song Qinghuan narrowed his pupils, looked at Shen Chuhan and said, "Ah Shu, what do you want to tell me?"

Shen Chuhan nodded, took her hand and placed it on her lap to caress.After a while, he opened his mouth and said deeply, "Ah Wan, I recently asked someone to investigate about Yuheng Island."

Song Qinghuan's expression froze slightly, and he looked up at Shen Chuhan without blinking.

According to the plan, after they had dealt with Emperor Zhao and dealt with the affairs of Zhao Kingdom, they would set off for Yuheng Island, so during this time, Shen Chuhan had already ordered people to start preparations.

"How is it?" Song Qinghuan blinked her long eyelashes.

Shen Chuhan narrowed his eyes, and said heavily, "Ah Wan should know that Yuheng Island has always been hidden from the world, and it is extremely difficult to find."

Song Qinghuan nodded, for some reason, a bad premonition faintly rose in her heart.

"In the last life, Xuan Ying and Mu Bai searched for a long time, but they couldn't find a real way to get on the island." Shen Chuhan continued.

Song Qinghuan frowned, a little puzzled, "Then...how did you get to the island in your last life?"

"Mubai and Xuanying only found out the approximate location of Yuheng Island. I was anxious at the time, and I couldn't wait that long, so I took you around that piece of sea. It was only a mistake that I managed to get to the island. Just hit it." Shen Chuhan's expression was a little dignified.

Song Qinghuan was surprised.

Unexpectedly, there is such a tortuous process in the middle.At that time, she thought it was strange that Yuheng Island and the Fulan people were so mysterious, and during the hundreds of years of hiding from the world, she rarely heard the news that outsiders had successfully landed on the island.Logically speaking, the location of Yuheng Island should be extremely difficult to find. How could Shen Chuhan be so smooth in his previous life?Could it be that his hidden guards are so powerful?
Only now do I know that in the previous life, Shen Chuhan was able to find Yuheng Island mostly due to luck.

In other words, whether they can discover the location of Yuheng Island in this life depends on luck?This sounds a little too unreliable.

She fell silent for a moment.

Shen Chuhan glanced at her, and continued, "I have asked Xuanyingjia to send people to investigate, but you know, throughout the ages, there are really very few records about Yuheng Island and the Fulan Clan, the only fragmentary information we know, They are all passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, most of which are true and false. There are very few ways to go to the island."

Song Qinghuan was a little frustrated, "Could it be...is there no other way?"

Shen Chuhan's eyes fell in front of her, "Ah Wan, this green luan jade pendant on your body is the only thing your mother and concubine left you. Both the green luan bird and the fairy grass belong to Yuheng Island. The Lan clan must be related. Maybe there are some clues."

Song Qinghuan's heart moved, she reached out and took off the Qingluan jade pendant on her chest and handed it to Shen Chuhan.

Shen Chuhan took it, looked it over and over for a while, but didn't see any clues, and returned it to Song Qinghuan with a slight frown.

Song Qinghuan looked at it for a while, but didn't see any clues. He lowered his head in disappointment and said, "It seems...it seems that I didn't find anything."

Shen Chuhan touched her head reassuringly, "I'm just guessing, maybe, it's just an ordinary jade pendant." After a pause, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll ask Xuanying to check again, and Ah Wan won't Too anxious, we still have some time now."

"Okay." Song Qinghuan nodded in agreement, and brought the jade pendant back to her body.

"How is the palace?" Song Qinghuan asked Shen Chuhan after taking a deep breath to adjust his mood.

Shen Chuhan hooked the corners of his lips, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Emperor Zhao is furious. In the past few days, there have been a lot of tails behind me. The queen has also started to move around, and I begged Xue Qi to investigate this matter."

Song Qinghuan said thoughtfully, "Hmm", "Next... what are you going to do?"

"Next, it's time for the Empress and Emperor Zhao to fight in the nest. When they both lose, it's time for us to take action." Shen Chuhan stared out of the window fixedly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Okay." Song Qinghuan nodded, followed his gaze to look out the window.In the courtyard, a cool breeze blew up the dead leaves on the ground, reflected in Song Qinghuan's eyes, and his expression became colder and colder.

*
The fact that Concubine Xiao Gui, who was so beautiful in the harem back then, was still alive quickly spread throughout the entire harem, and then spread to the previous court with lightning speed. Within a few days, rumors began to spread among the common people.

And soon, the people sent by the queen to investigate the matter also found some clues.

"Finally, what did you find?" The queen sat at the top, looking coldly at the servant in red below, with a stiff voice.

The servant prostrated himself on the ground, looked up at the queen, and said cautiously, "Report to the queen, the slave found out... there is a strange oleander forest near the Leng Palace. According to the investigation, people went in and out of it from time to time before this. I sent someone to look at it from a high place, and there is no building in that place except for the dense oleander forest."

The queen frowned, "What does this mean?"

The servant carefully considered his tone before he said, "If the servant's guess is not wrong, there may be some clues under the ground."

"What did you say?!" The queen was shocked, and a lot of hostility shot out of her eyes.

The waiter lowered his head even lower, not daring to say any more.

The queen frowned fiercely, and asked again, "Are you sure?"

The servant hesitated for a moment, "This is still just the conjecture of the servant. Whether it is true or not may not be known until further investigation. But before the servant came, he tried to enter the oleander grove. The strange thing is that the peach grove looked It looked ordinary, but in fact it was very strange, it seemed that someone had set up a formation, and the servant was afraid that it would be difficult to get out in the end, so he didn't go deep."

The Queen's eyes were even colder.

Weird oleander grove near Lenggong?That place is remote, and few people go there. When did a oleander forest appear?Also set up a formation?If there is nothing tricky in it, why set up so many tricks?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and looked at the servant coldly, "Find someone who understands formations, and you must find out what is hidden in the forest."

"Yes." The servant didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly bowed his head in response.

"You go down first." The queen waved her hand distractedly, and sent the servant away.

As soon as the servant left, the hall returned to deathly silence.The queen sat slumped on the seat, her face was lifeless, only the gloomy look in her eyes revealed a trace of emotion in her heart.

After sitting for a long time, she slowly got up and called someone in with a hoarse voice, "Yingluo, Liuli."

The maids outside the palace entered in response.

"Make up for me, I'm going to see the emperor."

Yingluo and Liuli secretly looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of puzzlement in each other's eyes.But when the master spoke, they naturally had no right to refuse, so they agreed in a deep voice, and followed the queen into the inner hall.

Not long after, the empress got dressed, changed into her palace attire, left the palace with a heavy face, and took Yingluo Liuli to Zhaodi's bedroom.

When they arrived at the gate of Emperor Zhao's bedroom, the maids waiting outside saw the queen coming, and hurriedly saluted.

The queen glanced at them coldly, "Is the emperor there?"

"Respond to your mother's words, the emperor is here." The maid replied respectfully.

"Go and report, and tell me that I am here to see the emperor." Although she is a queen, Emperor Zhao doesn't like her coming to him, so he has to report every time she comes.Although the queen was full of unwillingness, she was helpless.

"Yes." The maid answered and quickly walked into the hall.After a while, he came back again and saluted the queen, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites you in."

The queen responded, and brought Yingluo Liuli into the palace.

The maid led them to the inner bedroom, and retreated after saluting.

The queen glanced around, and Emperor Zhao was correcting the memorial at the desk. When he heard footsteps, he didn't lift his head, his eyes still fell on the memorial in front of him.

The queen's face darkened, her long eyelashes were drawn back, hiding the deep unwillingness in her eyes.When she raised her eyes again, her smile was restored, "The concubine has seen the emperor."

Only then did Emperor Zhao suddenly notice her coming, raised his head, closed the memorial in his hand, and glanced at the empress calmly, "How come the empress is free today?" His tone was not very warm.

Seeing her icy appearance, the empress couldn't hold back the smile on her face, but the other party was Emperor Zhao, so she couldn't help showing her face, so she had to calm down and said with a smile, "I heard that the emperor has been working too hard recently. My concubine specially ordered the kitchen to cook a cup of snow geese and lily soup to supplement the emperor."

After finishing speaking, Yingluo who was behind her just stepped forward and handed the food box in her hand to the queen.

The emperor said "Mmm", without thinking about it, he glanced at Wang Xi who was at the side, "I'm not hungry right now, let's put it down for now."

Wang Xi smiled flatteringly at the queen, stepped forward and stretched out his hands, and called out respectfully, "Your Majesty."

Seeing that the emperor didn't give her any face, the empress was upset, but she couldn't be happy, Wang Xi was a celebrity in front of Emperor Zhao, she couldn't do anything to him, so she lowered her eyes aggrievedly, and handed over the food box .

Wang Xi took it with a smile, put the food box aside, and returned to Zhaodi's side.

"If there's nothing else, the empress should go back first." Emperor Zhao glanced at her with a confused expression, but a hint of impatience in his tone.

Seeing that Emperor Zhao drove him away as soon as he opened his mouth, the empress's face turned dark immediately, however, the darkness was only for a moment, and she pulled out a smile again.

"Your majesty..." She tried to soften her tone, and glanced at Emperor Zhao, "I have something to say to you." As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Xi intentionally or unintentionally.

Wang Xi knew that the queen was telling him to avoid him, but he always only respected the emperor, and if the emperor didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't go out on his own initiative.Therefore, he just lowered his head, pretending not to see the Queen's signal.

The queen gritted her teeth secretly, and could only look back at Emperor Zhao.

Emperor Zhao looked at him coldly for a moment, but didn't make a sound. Just when the queen thought he would refuse, Emperor Zhao suddenly said, "The queen should sit down."

The queen sat down on the chair beside her as she said, with a gloomy and indiscernible light in her eyes.

Emperor Zhao looked at Wang Xi and Yingluo Liuli again, "Go down first."

Several people should be, and then they retreated, leaving only the empress and Emperor Zhao in the bedroom.

"What does the empress want to tell me?" Emperor Zhao glanced at her, and opened his mouth unhurriedly.

The queen took a deep breath, looked at Emperor Zhao's face, lowered her head slightly and said, "I don't know...has the emperor heard the rumors circulating in the palace recently?"

Emperor Zhao's eyes froze.

How could he not know about the rumors?The queen's words were clearly from him to inquire about the situation.

He had always suspected that Shen Chuhan was responsible for this matter, but he suffered from lack of evidence.Just as he was thinking about whether to call him into the palace to make some indirect remarks, he didn't expect that Shen Chuhan took the initiative to find him after the morning court today.

And his first sentence was, "Father, is Mother and Concubine really still alive?" The strong look in his eyes made him startled suddenly, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

Could it be... he really didn't do this matter, but besides him, who else would take a huge risk to rescue Concubine Xiao?

There was a lot of suspicion in my heart, but I couldn't show it on the face, of course I denied it.

Shen Chuhan's expression became colder, and he said again, "Father, I went to the place where the mother and concubine were buried. The body of the mother and concubine is gone."

Emperor Zhao suddenly gave a "click" in his heart.

How did he forget such a thing?

When Concubine Xiao Gui was smuggled out of Wuming Valley, Shen Chuhan had already gone to Liang Country.In his haste, he also forgot to ask someone to put another corpse in as a cover.

Concubine Xiao was missing, he only thought that it was Shen Chuhan who did it, and he had long forgotten about the matter of the mausoleum that day. Hearing Shen Chuhan's sudden question at this time, he was a little panicked for a while, so he had to pretend to be ignorant and angry.

"Shu'er, my father has already asked people to investigate this matter. Lingyi's body disappeared, and such rumors suddenly popped up recently. I suspect that someone must be behind the scenes. Maybe it's just to drive us apart. The relationship between them." As he was speaking, Emperor Zhao suddenly had an idea and began to pour dirty water on the Xue family's head.

Recently, when Jun Che and Shen Chuhan were fighting fiercely, such rumors suddenly broke out. It is indeed possible that someone did it to disturb Shen Chuhan's mood.And the most likely black hand behind this scene is the Xue family and the queen.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the coldness in Shen Chuhan's eyes faded a little.

Emperor Zhao hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, tried to persuade him a lot, and promised to investigate the matter as soon as possible, so he sent Shen Chuhan back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left on his front foot, the queen came on his back foot, saying the same thing, how could it not give him a headache?

When she was frowning and thinking, the queen hadn't heard his response for a long time, and seeing his preoccupied appearance, she could only call out, "Your Majesty?"

Only then did Emperor Zhao come back to his senses, and looked at the queen with a gloomy face, "Of course I've heard about it. What's the queen's opinion?"

The queen smiled sheepishly, observed Emperor Zhao's application without blinking, and said slowly, "I think that there is no wave without wind, so could it be... Concubine Xiao Gui...?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Before the words finished, he was interrupted by Emperor Zhao sternly.

But in the Queen's eyes, this appearance clearly showed a guilty conscience, she sneered from the bottom of her heart, and said calmly, "It is said that there is no wave without wind, and wind does not come from nothing, so...don't the emperor doubt it?"

She was angry in her heart, and seeing Emperor Zhao's lukewarm appearance to her just now, she lost her mind a bit, and the thoughts in her mind came out unconsciously, "Or... the emperor knew the truth?!"

Seeing her suspicious eyes, Emperor Zhao naturally knew what she was thinking in his heart, and glared at her, "Queen, what should I say, what should not be said, I don't need to remind you, right?"

Seeing his livid face, the queen felt a sense of pleasure inexplicably, but she didn't stop, staring at her unblinkingly, with a strange smile on her lips, "Did the concubine say something wrong just now? The emperor's recent mood Not very good, could it be that you are worried about this matter? I just wonder if what you are worried about is the fact that Concubine Xiao Gui is no longer alive, or..."

When she said this in spite of everything, her face suddenly turned pale, as if she had thought of something.

Regarding this matter, Emperor Zhao's attitude was a bit strange.Obviously, he didn't want the news that Concubine Xiao Gui was still alive, and he looked a little guilty at the moment, could it be... that bitch Xiao Lingyi is really still alive, and the reason why Emperor Zhao was violent a while ago, could it be because he was alive Xiao Lingyi is gone?
As soon as this idea came out, cold sweat broke out on her back, her cold eyes shot at Emperor Zhao, and she was about to ask, but Emperor Zhao was so angry that he slapped the table, he didn't bring it up, and rolled his eyes , his body suddenly softened, and he fell straight to the ground!
