Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 647 Shen Lewei gets into trouble and Chao Yun disappears

As Li Yuqi himself said, even he himself was unfamiliar with many places in this palace.

When His Majesty became the crown prince, he already had several concubines, so there were many courtyards in the East Palace. But when Li Yuqi arrived, he acted as if he was ready to become a monk at any time, at least on the surface.

As a result, in his hands, there were many uninhabited and abandoned courtyards. He didn't mind and didn't bother to take care of them. He just left them vacant and allowed the surrounding weeds to become increasingly overgrown.

When Shen Lewei moved into the East Palace, she naturally moved closer to Li Yuqi's residence. She rarely visited such a deserted place like the "cold palace" mentioned in the painting book - how unlucky it was. Woolen cloth!If it weren't for the purpose of catching that "funny girl" today, she would never have gone here.

However, she looked around suspiciously, and saw that there were almost as many weeds as there were people. There were a few bare dwarf trees planted sparsely in the grass. There were no discernible varieties, and there were no autumn and winter things such as chrysanthemums and wintersweets that His Highness loved. .No matter how you look at it, it looks...really abandoned.

Just as she was doubting, two figures fell in front of her, wearing bamboo hats. Rain poured down from the edge of the bamboo hats. The face behind the rain curtain was wooden and empty. The other person cupped her hands and said, "Miss Shen Er, in front of me. This is the restricted area of ​​the East Palace, you can’t go any further...otherwise, your subordinates will only be offended."

In the howling wind and rain, the other party was wearing armor and holding a sword, and he looked like he was not the guardian of the prince's residence.

Shen Lewei was slightly frightened, but still couldn't resist his curiosity. He stretched his neck and looked over the other person's shoulders, and followed carefully all the way. He was so focused on how to avoid being discovered that he didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment.Twenty steps away, there was a corner door that was almost completely covered by weeds. The wooden door had no locks, or was broken, and was hanging down by the strong wind, beating against the door frame.

It is a corner gate that you would never pay much attention to whenever you pass by it.

Chaoyun... is inside?This doesn't look like a golden house hiding one's beauty.At this time, Shen Lewei also began to doubt whether Shen Luoxin's words were true or false, but he had no time to doubt. He only heard a "clang" and a cold light flashed. The guard had already held the scabbard and pulled out the sword.He still had a dull and empty expression, like a puppet without a soul that could only execute orders unconditionally. The cold light on the sword hit his face with the smell of blood. Shen Le took a step back slightly, and his face instantly turned pale.

The puppet seemed not to notice, but still reminded him dutifully, "Miss Shen, the prince has ordered that anyone who breaks into forbidden areas without permission - die."

However, at noon, the sky became darker and darker. The word "death" sounded like it was bursting out from between the teeth, with the power of metal and stone clashing, making people's hair stand on end.

When has Shen Lewei seen such a scene?Immediately, he stumbled around with weak legs and a pale face, only to see someone push open the already shaky corner door with a "bang". The corner door slammed open and bounced back hard. In the blink of an eye, a person rushed out of the door. An almost panicked cry tore through the rain curtain, "Why is that woman gone?"

"Rumble--" Lightning and thunder split the sky and the earth.

Gone?Shen Le was slightly startled. Before he could figure out whether this "gone" meant "gone" or "dead", he felt a cold feeling on his neck.

At that moment, the coldness that shot straight from the neck to the sky, causing goosebumps to rise and fall all at once, became a lingering nightmare for Shen Lewei for the rest of his life - not despair, not fear, not even enough time to feel it. His emotions were so cold at that moment that his mind went blank, but his body had begun to tremble, as if facing the instinct of death.

She opened her mouth, but she just opened her mouth. She couldn't say a word. She didn't dare to say it for fear of licking her throat and breaking her blood vessels due to the coldness close to her skin.The guard who was just blank and empty just now took action with his long sword, his aura suddenly changed, and his murderous intent seemed to be real and directed towards Shen Lewei, "Say! Who sent you here?!"

"I-I-I just..." The voice that overflowed from her throat was almost broken into words and sentences. Her body was trembling like a sieve. She suddenly regretted her decision to move to the East Palace...

……

In the study, Li Yuqi's patience was about to run out. He stood up with a "swish" and was about to call someone to see him off. But just as he opened his mouth, he heard footsteps coming, followed closely by a voice, "Your Highness! He is missing! He is still there!" We caught Miss Shen Er wandering nearby!"

Li Yuqi's face was instantly covered with frost.He stood there, his knuckles crackling as he pinched them, looking at the guards who rushed in, and asked sharply, word by word, "Where is the woman?"

"Just outside. Waiting for His Highness to make a decision."

The tip of his tongue ran over the root of his teeth little by little, and the breath of blood seemed to leak out from every word. He gritted his teeth and said lightly, "Beat him to death with a stick."

The guard was not surprised. He nodded and was about to stand up. Bai Xing quickly raised his hand to stop him, "Hey, eh, eh - wait, wait! Your Highness, if I heard you right, Miss Shen Er is Shen Qian's second daughter. Well, the daughter of the imperial censor, you will beat her to death if you say so?" He had an expression on his face that said, "Is there anything wrong with your mind?"

"Even though she is a concubine, the Shen family has raised her as a legitimate daughter these years. Whenever there is a banquet in my family, I can see this second lady at the banquet." Although the person who posted the post was not this person. , although the grandmother is not welcome to see her, but here Bai Xing knows that "the person is missing" means that Chao Yun is gone. After all, Shen Lewei is implicated, so there is no harm in saving him - in the end The important thing is that it can also delay time.

Very good very good.

Bai Xing was already cheering in his heart, but he still walked up to Li Yuqi with a confused look on his face and shook his head. He put his hand on the other person's shoulder and persuaded him earnestly, "Since I drank your cup of tea today, I must say a few words. You - that's what's so unpleasant about you..."

Li Yuqi suddenly shook off the claws on his shoulders and strode into the wind and rain. As he walked, he ordered the guards, "Lock her up first! When the matter here is over, I will personally send her back to the Shen family!"

"Rumble--" Another thunder struck the ground, drawing a silver-white light in the distant sky.

Bai Xing lowered his head and clapped his hands, then washed his hands and shook them off in the rain outside. Then he got rid of the discomfort in his heart and turned to look inside the house, just in time to see the open window swaying and calming down.The curtain, which had been almost motionless before, was hanging swayingly and returned to calm.

Hey, it’s finally...complete?
