Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 189 Who Is the Sacrifice?
"Lord Tianshi, I really don't have what you want here." Tao Yao shook her head, teardrops kept shaking in her eyes, and a few tears even dripped onto her ivory-white neck.

Dugu Yun was a person who didn't take women seriously, so he just looked down at Taoyao.Seeing this scene, He Lianchen's mouth twitched obviously.

"Taoyao, if you have any grievances, tell this king." He Lianchen walked up to Taoyao, bowed to help her up, at this moment, he was still like a modest gentleman.

However, Tao Yao didn't want to get up, instead she cried even louder.

All her tricks are in his hands, and this woman dares to play tricks.Dugu Yun raised his eyebrows, and said sideways: "Your Highness Huai, Miss Qingdai and you, haven't you always wanted to know where the weapon craftsmen of the Jiyue clan put the drawn weapon samples?"

He Lianchen's eyes showed obvious longing, Dugu Yun said these irrelevant words at this time, could it be related to Taoyao?

Dugu Yun's next words confirmed his conjecture.

"Miss Qingdai is the daughter of the patriarch of the Jiyue clan, and the family of the patriarch of the Jiyue clan only hid one copy of the pattern. The reason why she couldn't find it after searching for so long is that they added those weapon maps to a mural in the cave."

The corners of He Lianchen's eyes twitched slightly, Dugu Yun clearly meant something.Xiye Kingdom turned out to be a cave with many murals left by previous generations of painters.

But the wind and sand here are strong, and many painting caves have been buried by the yellow sand.At that time, he was very excited to find this intact painting cave.

Dugu Yun was very satisfied with He Lianchen's reaction, he glanced slightly mockingly at Taoyao who was silently wiping away tears, and immediately turned back.He knew that as long as He Lianchen thought about it for granted, it would not be difficult for him to think that his underground palace was where the weapon map was.

Far away in the sky and close in front of his eyes, if He Lianchen knew that his concubine had secretly stripped him of what he dreamed of, then Taoyao would have no choice but to die.

He Lianchen's phoenix eyes were slanted, and he said sharply, "Tianshi, you mean you found those pictures?"

Dugu Yun replied with a serious smile: "Your Highness Duke Huai should ask your side concubine about this."

Today, he heard the guard inadvertently reveal that the side concubine has hidden some good things.

But he didn't want to, before he finished speaking, Taoyao raised her head and said sadly: "Your Highness, Lord Tianshi came to my concubine for no reason today, and insisted on saying that my concubine hid something. However, Lord Tianshi wants to hide something. I don’t have any good things, so I have to come here to ask my concubine for it.”

"Chen Qie said no, so he slapped Chen Qie several times indiscriminately. Chen Qie still doesn't know what he did wrong."

She put her head in front of He Lianchen so that He Lianchen could see the two red marks on her face more clearly.

"Side concubine, are you still pretending not to understand?" Dugu Yun didn't have much patience.

He Lianchen didn't choose who to believe yet, but when he saw Taoyao's appearance, a little anger burst out of his heart.

Although he has never favored Taoyao, Taoyao is his side concubine after all, and Dugu Yun should give her some face.

Taoyao was still holding on to He Lianchen's clothes, and said extremely aggrieved: "The concubine can't take it anymore, Your Highness, why don't you send someone in to search and see if there is anything here that the celestial master wants?" .”

He Lianchen frowned slightly, said "um" coldly, and waved his hand to signal the guards to go in.

Not long after, the guards brought out all kinds of valuable things from Taoyao's bedroom and put them in front of He Lianchen for him to read them one by one.

Of course they didn't find what Dugu Yun wanted, most of them were women's daily necessities, and there were also some priceless jewels and jades, most of which were rewarded by He Lianchen.

"Since the side concubine has hidden it, it is natural that it is hidden so that people can't find it." Dugu Yun didn't give up.

After he secretly scolded these guards as trash, he wanted to go in and look for them by himself.

However, before his footsteps crossed the threshold, he heard a guard coming from behind to report, "His Royal Highness Duke Huai, this was found from Lord Tianshi's residence."

Dugu Yun had a bad feeling, so he hurriedly turned his head, only to meet He Lianchen's cold and sullen eyes.

"Lord Tianshi didn't expect that when you came to Taoyao's place, this king sent someone to visit you." He Lianchen shook off a roll of silk cloth, "This king originally believed that you are very good to this king. loyalty, but you hid these things in private."

"Master Tianshi hid it very well, and my people only found one scroll. What about the others?"

Dugu Yun wanted to explain, but he subconsciously thought that there might be an inner ghost in the underground palace.So, I was silent for a while, thinking about how to dispel He Lianchen's worries about him once and for all.

However, He Lianchen's voice became more and more chilly.Today, a guard came to have a close relationship with him, so he suspected Dugu Yun.Dugu Yun had been loyal to him and his concubine mother for so many years, and he didn't want to believe it, but the thing was found after all.

"Why...why do you all betray this king? Could it be that this king is a useless person in your hearts!" He Lianchen couldn't restrain his emotions.

He is not a person who is easy to lose control, and he will not easily question Dugu Yun's loyalty just because of this incident.But Gong Shaoyin's betrayal earlier made him suspicious of everyone around him, which had already planted roots in his heart.

It would be fine if nothing was found, but there was something to prove his suspicion.He Lianchen confirmed his judgment and forced Dugu Yun to hand over the remaining silk cloth.

Where can Dugu Yun really hand it over, the two argued about it.Tao Yao, who was standing next to her, felt very comfortable watching the dispute between the two of them.

From then on, He Lianchen still wanted to get more silk cloth from Dugu Yun, and even sent someone to imprison him.

Dugu Yun scoffed at He Lianchen's approach, and in a fit of anger, he removed half of the guards in the underground palace.

Even Concubine Lin respects him three feet. He Lianchen is a mere kid. Why would he dare to get along with him? He wants to ask He Lianchen to see, without him and the large number of soldiers he trained, would He Lianchen know each other? How much danger will this bring to the underground palace.

He also wanted to use this to see if the so-called inner ghost would show his true colors when he was not around.

Dugu Yun's idea is right, but the time is too late, wait for him to leave.He Lianyu received the news that ambushes were set up everywhere on the ground. This time, He Lianchen should have nowhere to escape.

In the underground palace, there were still many figures of people, and the dim light of the fire permeated every corner of Taoyao's bedroom.With the addition of luminous pearls and moonstones, it is even more radiant.

After He Lianchen comforted Tao Yao, he turned around and wanted to leave.He told the patriarch of the Jiyue clan that there will be sacrifices given to them during the Summer Festival, and at this moment, it's time for him to inspect his sacrifices.

"The sacrifices for the Summer Festival this time seem very obedient." Within a quarter of an hour, He Lianchen appeared at the door of Yu Moying's room, and walked in with a cheerful expression.

The woman in front of him was sitting with her back facing him, and she didn't turn around for a long time.She kept her elbow resting on the table and straightened her back.

He Lianchen has ordered a group of guards to come forward and let them tie her up.

In front of him, Yu Moying always had an expression of standing still before the mountain collapsed, so he got used to it.

"Death is imminent, no matter how calm you are!" He Lianchen went over and turned her body around angrily.

And when he saw the woman's face clearly, he couldn't help being surprised that Yu Moying was able to escape.Sitting here is a maid in the underground palace. She had her acupuncture points tapped, so she could only sit there in a daze. Even if she shook, she might not be able to do it.

He Lianchen knew that Yu Moying didn't know martial arts, and she could let the maid stay here for her, but her own people ran away, so someone must have come to help her.

In this way, outsiders have already sneaked into the underground palace, and it was still without his knowledge.

"Who came to see Yu Moying after I brought her back?" He remembered that Yu Moying had been watched by his people since she was arrested.

Besides, the time Gong Shaoyin took her to escape was unsuccessful.Yu Moying wanted to tip off the news, but there was no one he could trust.Unless someone is helping her.

He Lianchen immediately thought of Dugu Yun, maybe Dugu Yun was angry in his heart, so he simply leaked the location of the underground palace.But Dugu Yun didn't want to betray him just because of a little conflict.

At this time, He Lianchen's mind was clearer, he was aware of the strangeness of that incident, and felt quite sorry for Dugu Yun.

"Master Gong and Maiden Xiye have been here." The guard thought for a while and replied.

That stupid woman Yu Moyao also came?He Lianchen's eyelids twitched suddenly, and most likely the problem lies with this stupid woman.

After a while, the guards who ran towards him were already disheveled. When they saw He Lianchen, they rushed over and said, "His Royal Highness, something is wrong. The entrance to the underground palace has been discovered. Now there are a large number of people rushing here."

He Lianchen's eyes flashed suddenly, he didn't have time to think about Yu Moyao's damn stupid woman, so he walked quickly to check on the situation.

Basically, what came into view were the corpses of guards in disorder.Without Dugu Yun's soldiers, the guard ability of the underground palace has been much weaker.People from outside can easily break into it.

Occasionally, there would be clods of soil falling down. He Lianchen looked up and saw that the roof of the cave showed signs of loosening.

"Who are the people from outside?" He randomly grabbed a guard who had been shot in the back by multiple arrows and asked.

The guard was frightened out of his wits, and said inarticulately: "The third prince of Xiye and His Royal Highness King Yu are here."

OK, here we come.After hearing this, He Lianchen suddenly threw the guard to the ground.

He passed through several corridors and arrived at the entrance of the underground palace.His eyes were far away, and at the same time as he aimed outside, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.Anyway, today is impossible to escape.

He Lianyu, Yi Feitai, you have pushed me into a corner, and I want you to regret it for the rest of your life.
