Chen Palace

Chapter 63
Under the faint moonlight, the shadows of the trees whirled and made rustling sounds. This was a quiet and peaceful night, but because of a pigeon, it was stained with blood.

The maid trembled in panic, but quickly calmed down. She pressed her lips together tightly and did not say a word.

The shadow of the tree covered the three of them. In this quiet late night, who knew that there was an earth-shattering case involved?
Chen Lu's hands exerted a little force, the woman's throat gurgled, her face turned red from holding back, but she still clenched her teeth.

Qu Yun picked up the pigeon on the ground, skillfully removed a roll of paper from his leg, unfolded it for a few glances, and handed it to Chen Lu.

There are only a few numbers on it, no titles, and no names:
Withered trees come spring, you should return early

Chen Lu is so clever, after chewing for a while, she understood the meaning, and she looked at the tablet writing on the paper for a few more times before she rolled it up and put it in her sleeve.

"Sure enough...we released the news of Aunt He's waking up, and some people couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out to report the news!"

Qu Yun glanced at Chen Lu, and continued to ask: "Is there anything strange about this paper?"

With a strange gleam in Chen Lu's eyes, she replied, "This handwriting is written with the left hand—"

"In order to conceal handwriting, ordinary people always deliberately write with their left hand, which is very crooked, but the words on this paper are so neat and flat, without any clue... This is a very cunning opponent!"

She dropped the maid in her hand, and let her fall to the ground, coughing non-stop.

"Who wrote this note and sent you here to deliver it?"

She asked coldly, her voice was like shattering ice, piercing her bones.

The palace maid flinched, her eyes showed fear, but in the end, she was covered by a kind of determination——

Her mouth moved slightly, and the next moment, a strand of black blood slid down her lips, and she died.

Chen Lu stretched out her slender jade fingers, and touched her lips. At this moment, a fierce and icy resentment appeared on her crystal face. At a glance, it was covered with a layer of soft crimson—— —

"This is the 'Ye Tan' that I assigned to Yuan Xu back then. It is highly toxic and can kill a person in an instant... So, it means short-lived..."

Her voice, heard in the dark, has a bit of fantasy and a bit of melancholy.
"Jing Wang Yuanzhi...you are Yuan Xu's favorite son!!"

Her voice finally became treacherous——

"Yuan Xu, you are underground, don't worry..."

In the Qianqing Palace, there were bursts of sandalwood fragrance and elegance. After listening to the report, Yuan Qi nodded thoughtfully and started pacing with hands behind his back.

"So, this line is also broken?"

The emperor sighed slightly: "I never expected to be able to complete all my merits in one battle... It's just that the soldiers under King Jing's command are so brave and loyal?!"

In his tone, there was quite a sigh, probably thinking of the real "secret envoys" of the late emperor who were still in the hands of King Jing.

Chen Lu listened quietly, her eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled calmly: "Actually, that's not the case... The owner of the note is still lurking in the palace, waiting for an opportunity!"

Yuan Qi listened to her analysis of the mystery, and thought of such a hidden enemy in the palace, he sighed in his heart——

"Such strange people are all under King Jing's command. Is it true that I am not as good as him?"

The words were full of remorse and disappointment, and the young emperor was temporarily lost in his own sighs.

"The emperor's words are wrong..."

The girl stood at the bottom of the steps, staring at him gracefully, and said politely: "You must not belittle yourself! King Jing just took advantage of the power of the conspiracy mechanism, and it looks dangerous for a while, but in fact it is just mediocre... For example, the way of playing chess, The most important thing is the ground, no matter how good King Jing is at intercepting and killing, he is only temporarily proud, and his foundation is not as deep as yours!"

The emperor listened, his eyes sparkling brightly: "Sure enough, as you said... my way of chess is most important to pay attention to success, and it is indeed not my specialty to compete with King Jing!!"

"You really awakened the dreamer with just one word!"

At this moment, a gust of cool wind blew, and the sleeves of Chenlu's clothes fluttered. Yuan Qi saw her, strode up to her, stretched out his hand, resolutely, yet warmly, wrapped her waistcoat tightly for her——

"Your clothes are too thin!"

Chen Lu was about to tie the silk sash around her collar, but was caught by a pair of big palms——

"I come!"

Yuan Qi smiled slightly, his eyes were starry, as if he had never had such an intoxicated and joyful smile, and gently tied the silk ribbon into a bow.

Chen Lu looked at the pretty and elegant bow, and frowned slightly, a little unaccustomed to it, but she didn't say anything after all.

"My craftsmanship is more ingenious than ordinary court ladies!"

It's like Lao Wang selling melons, selling himself and boasting...

From the bottom of her heart, the girl thought mercilessly, wanted to smile on her face, but restrained herself.

On the second day, a delicate guest was welcomed in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

The queen stepped into the bedroom, but she heard a burst of laughter inside, the clear and charming voice was speaking of popular jokes, which made the queen mother chuckle.

She was surprised, when Pingting entered, she saw Yunluo was sitting on the twig, speaking articulately.

Seeing that the queen mother was listening happily, the queen didn't bother, just sat aside and listened quietly.

She quietly listened to Yunluo's nonchalant flattery, and an imperceptible displeasure flashed across the corner of her eyes——
The dedication is here!
Seeing her coming, the Queen Mother laughed and joked, "I finally remembered my old lady today!"

The sun shone on her face, although it was still graceful and luxurious, it was faintly pale.

You don't have many years to live...

The empress sneered in her heart, but on her face she said with an extremely wronged face: "The empress really wronged me... These few days, it's really..."

As she spoke, the circles of her eyes turned red, and she could no longer speak.

When the queen mother saw it, she knew that something was wrong. Seeing the queen looking at Yungui, she smiled and said, "This child Yunluo is filial. She has come to accompany me to relieve my boredom these few days, and I have been born to her."

What a fine man Yungui is, he immediately got up and said goodbye after observing his words and expressions.

The Empress Dowager asked the female officer to wrap a few pieces of jewelry, and gave them to the Yungui people with a smile, saying: "I, an old woman, don't need a few small things anymore, as long as you don't dislike them!"

The Yungui people were very pleasantly surprised, and after thanking them, they got up and left.

"What happened again?!"

The Queen Mother asked impatiently.

The queen picked up the Jinpa, choked with sobs, unable to speak——

"There is one thing, mother, you must not be upset..."

"what happened?"

"Concubine Mei Gui... she is pregnant again!!"
