Chen Palace

Chapter 100
"Then now..."

"It's alright... In the past few days, you have to take care of the big and small affairs in the palace."

Jian Qing was slightly startled: "You want to..."

Just as Chen Lu was about to answer, she saw that Qu Yun rushed in before she could notify her, and the copper nails on the military boots collided with each other with a crisp sound——

"What's going on here?!"

Qu Yun caught a glimpse of her blood gushing like a spring, and the snow on her arms was dyed red for a moment, and he stamped his feet and said angrily: "That temptress..."

"Xiaoyun, don't be restless, Lin Yuan owes me more than these one or two things. Now, let her repay them one by one."

Chenlu's phoenix eyes were raised slightly, and her thick and slender eyelashes trembled like the night.

She got up, looked at the golden-red sunset in the sky, and said in a low voice, "When it gets dark, I'm going to go out and lie down."

****
The night was dark, and the chirping of cicadas among the trees became hoarse and powerless in the silence.

On the deep and solemn high wall, several black figures flashed past like a breeze.

They passed the triple courtyard and finally entered the eaves of the master's study.

The room is still brightly lit. Since the master passed through the pain of bereavement, he has been sleeping here alone these days and has not summoned concubines.

They were lying on the porch, watching the movement in the study, and were about to draw out their weapons, but they heard a "swish" in their ears, and the shadow of an arrow passed by, and the sound of the wind made their faces hurt.

A shallow moon illuminated the quiet courtyard, under the pear tree, I saw a snow-white feather trembling slightly, it was actually deeply embedded in the tree trunk.

This sound, although not loud, has already alarmed the owner of the room——

Qi Rong stood up suddenly, listened to the outside vigilantly, and shouted sharply: "Who is it?!"

One of the men in black laughed loudly and said, "I have heard for a long time that gold and silver are piled up like mountains in your lord's house, and our brothers are here to make a fortune!"

He had the tone of a gangster and a green forest, but his subordinates were quick, accurate, and ruthless, and flew towards the direction the arrow came from.

But seeing the flash of the sword, the long sword in his hand went straight to the face, but it was pinched by two white and crystal clear fingers, and he could no longer move.

The person who came was also masked and her hair tied up, she stood quietly in the darkness, she didn't say a word, only a pearl hairpin in the temple, the light was blurred, and she knew it was not ordinary at a glance.

Qi Rong looked through the crack of the door, seeing the dazzling precious light, he was slightly surprised, he was old and sophisticated, thought about the rumors in the palace, and said in surprise: "Could it be..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other people swung their weapons and surrounded him like horns.

But when the wind of the sword turned and danced wildly like a silver snake, the person earlier exclaimed "噫", the long sword had been snatched away, there were several screams among the rubble, but those people's weapons were blocked one by one , Actually broke into two pieces.

The masked man sneered, threw the long sword on the ground, drew the black longbow in his hand, and the snow-white feathered arrows seemed to be impermanent, causing chills on everyone's necks.

Someone couldn't bear it any longer and uttered a cry, and everyone fled in a hurry, and disappeared between the eaves after a few ups and downs.

Qi Rong stood up tremblingly, went to the masked man, and asked tentatively: "Excuse me, is your honor..."

The masked man unbuttoned the veil, and his eyes met, Qi Rong felt the awe-inspiring ice and snow piercing into his eyes.

She didn't apply makeup, but she had a kind of awe-inspiring elegance, which made the moonlight in the courtyard look eclipsed.

"The old minister has seen the empress..."

Chen Lu waved her hand to stop Qi Rong's big gift, and said with a light smile, "It's really lively in your lord's mansion..."

"A few thieves dare to be so bold..."

Qi Rong's old face was uncertain, and he insisted.

"This is no ordinary snitch. Empress Dowager, I really worry about you!"

Chen Lu smiled lightly, and between looking and looking, it seemed that the summer heat in the courtyard had been swept away.

"Ms. Chen Concubine...?!"

Qi Rong was terrified, and when she pointed it out, he felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end. In this secluded courtyard, there seemed to be a murderous secret.

"My lord, don't panic. These people were dismissed by me, and they probably went back to the master... Thinking about it, I'm really afraid. You almost followed in the footsteps of Concubine Qi!"

When she mentioned Concubine Qi, Qi Rong's eye circles were red, he gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head resolutely——

"Your Majesty came late at night, I'm afraid it's not just for my old bones, is it?"

Chen Lu smiled slightly: "Sir, won't you invite me to talk in the room?"

****
After the third watch, there were no pedestrians on the street. The breeze swept across the street, and there was only a broken lamp in front of the inn, casting a lonely long shadow on the ground weakly.

Chen Lu walked by quietly, recalling the conversation with Qi Rong just now, a sneer curled up on her lips.

Qi Rong and the Empress Dowager have always been at odds. Now that the concubine Qi has passed away, he was full of anger towards the Zhou family. Unexpectedly, the emperor had a night talk with him. During the conversation, he revealed that the real culprit was someone else—— Eighty-nine times, it was the work of King Jing.

King Jing is deeply favored by the Queen Mother, Qi Rong is not sure that he will be brought down in one fell swoop, but secretly holds a grudge, and now Chen Lu comes to rescue, the two hit it off, decided to help each other, and wiped out the queen party in one fell swoop.

"Lin Yuan...you have framed countless others, this time, I want to let you have a taste of being hard to argue with..."

She said decisively, turned around and was about to leave, but she heard the faint sounds of fighting and moaning in the back alley.

She changed her mind and walked in, but saw a group of naked people beating one person.

"stop."

She didn't want to be nosy and was about to leave when she saw the bruised man, who seemed familiar, so she changed her mind.

"Who dares to meddle in our business?!"

"You are just under the vassal king's command. As a rule, you are not allowed to enter the city. If I shout out, you will be beheaded immediately."

Chen Lu said coldly, and with a slight glance of her eyes, these women who were fighting fiercely on the battlefield felt fear in their hearts.

The leader had some scruples, glanced at the bruised and curled up young man on the ground, spat, and then walked away resentfully.

Chen Lu stared intently, still wondering where he had seen this person before, only to hear the young man groaning, trying to say: "The benefactor saved me again!"

It's him!The scholar who robbed the sedan chair in the street!

Chen Lu finally came to a realization, she was angry and funny for a moment, and asked, "Whose bride did you rob again this time?"

"Benefactor, please don't make fun of..."

The young man showed a pained look on his face——

"My wife was robbed into the camp by these beasts!!"

He beat the ground bitterly, the wound burst open, and it was bloody again.

Chen Lu's eyes turned cold: "Speak in detail!"
