The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 114 City in the Clouds, Wedding Banquet in the Palace

Shang Fu was annoyed at the tacit cooperation between the two.

Seeing the Yuli Qiankun on Yuqiansi's index finger, and then looking at the rigid wrench in his hand.

Although her own ring could not be turned, she imitated her appearance, put the two fingers of her left hand on it, and turned the ring artificially.

The round and emerald green jade ring, with engraved patterns on the wide side, can also be regarded as a treasure.

This movement of turning the ring, as expected, made everyone in the hall focus on it.

Yu Qiansi clenched her right hand tightly, only feeling that something important was brushing by like a feather, but she couldn't touch, grasp, or see clearly.

She said: "Master Shaoqing, please help me to ask again, who are the ministers and workers who have stayed in Yuchen Palace recently?"

Shang Fu only felt that he had had good luck one after another, and was finally valued by Lord Yu. The tasks entrusted to him became more and more important, and he danced with joy.

And Shang Fu's good luck doesn't stop there.

In the early morning of the second day, a suspiciously shaped corpse was found in Dali Temple. Although his appearance was not that of the missing man from the Ministry of War, his body and age were not bad. Most importantly, there were traces of a phantom face on the back of his neck.

Yuqiansi and Zhang Yilun performed an autopsy together, and reported the autopsy results to the saint, which immediately caused an uproar in the court.

The fatal injury of the deceased was a knife wound, and the murderer's shot was steady and ruthless, killing him with a single knife, without any delay.By comparing the wounds, it was found that the murder weapon was a standard saber.

Maps, Ministry of War, sabers.

Northern Qi, envoys, border.

Naturally, someone will tie it all together.

Starting from the imperial guards, to the soldiers and generals of the major battalions in the suburbs of Beijing, and then to the generals of the northern border who came to Beijing to report their duties with the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they were all thoroughly investigated one by one.

The first to bear the brunt is the Jinwu Guard who was supposed to protect the Ministry of War, but caused the Ministry of War to suffer a disaster.

And Yuqiansi, who was sitting in the Fajin hall, didn't know that she had set off such a turbulent wave with a single fold.

She is waiting for news from Boyi.

Although half a day had passed, she was sure that he would be able to find the salesman.

Sure enough, just after noon, Bo Yi returned victorious with what Yu Qiansi wanted.

"According to what you said, I found this peddler near Renzhengfang."

Although Yu Qiansi's smile was faint, he still read the trace of appreciation in her shallow eyes.

Whether it's the fake signature from Yuli Pavilion or the invitation letter from Lingyun Pavilion handed out by Yayin, it's all high-ranking gentry.

Early this morning, he already had a general understanding of the ins and outs of Yunzhong City.

Twenty years ago, in the shadow of the Dasheng Empire, the ghost market that had grown wantonly for thousands of years was exterminated by the order of the late emperor.

But just as there must be shadows in the sun, the ghost market has made a comeback many years later, and it has been transformed into a "cloud city", broken into pieces, and only haunts the days when "everything is not suitable" is marked on the calendar.

Since then, he has been doing some shady black market business for the Gaomen in Beijing, and with the blessing of the Gaomen nobles, he has flourished again.

Since he was doing the business of the gentry, he didn't have to search all over the capital, as long as he paid more attention to the places where the high schools in the middle of the capital often gather, he would definitely gain something.

He handed Yu Qiansi a bronzing wedding invitation.

"You already knew? Or have you been there?"

This wedding invitation was exactly the same as the one he found from Guanshi Cao, and it seemed that Guanshi Cao also had something to do with Yunzhong City.

No wonder he mentioned the weird timing of the wedding banquet, but she was not disturbed.

"Never been there, this is the first time."

Yu Qiansi took the invitation and carefully read the clichés on it: "What else did the salesman say?"

Boyi shrugged: "It's all on the invitation."

The invitees, the time of the wedding banquet, and the congratulatory gifts that are specially named are all indicated one by one.It's just that this time the wedding was not held by the "He family" as mentioned in Guanshi Cao's post last time.It's just a surname chosen at will.

"Zhou Ji Silk and Satin Village?" Why hasn't she heard of it?
It was stated on the invitation that the gift must be bought in Zhouji before Youshi.

"I've inquired about it, it's in the suburbs of Beijing."

Boyi took out another identical post from his bosom, and said, "One post per person, don't wait until it's out of date."

Seeing the post in his hand, Yu Qiansi frowned: "You want to go too?"

Boyi snorted softly, and took the invitation back into his arms properly: "You don't really think that I'll let you go alone, do you?"

Whether it's a coincidence or not, this matter has something to do with the Yu family, so he naturally wouldn't let her take risks alone.

"It stands to reason that the only thing that can be bought today is the invitation for the next wedding banquet. I paid a lot of money to buy the urgent seat."

"Stingy!" Yu Qiansi complained: "When you come back, go find Yaoguang to take the public account!"

Without further ado, the two set off immediately.

It was getting late, not to mention leaving the city.She never fights unprepared, and observes the surrounding situation earlier so that she can respond earlier.

It's just that I didn't expect that this week's silk and satin shop is really simple, except for a shop, there is nothing.

There are only two large empty boxes in the room, which are marked with the time of You.

It seems that it is prepared for them.

Yu Qiansi smiled wryly, but she didn't expect that this "gift" was actually her own.

The two each got into a lifting box, the capacity of which was just big enough for an adult to sit down on his knees.

"See you later."

"See you later."

They looked at each other with a smile, closed the lid, and waited for the next article in anxiety.

As soon as I got in, I suddenly felt that there was silence everywhere, only the sound of my own heartbeat could be heard.

It inexplicably reminded her of the nightmares of the past, she was a little flustered, and tentatively murmured "Bo Yi".

I don't know if he heard it or if he responded, but after waiting for a while, there was no sound.

She had no choice but to close her eyes, silently recited the mantra of pure heart in her heart, and tried to meditate.

It is difficult to distinguish the years in the box.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Qiansi only felt the body of the box shake slightly, and someone lifted her up.

She tried to push the lid of the box, but found that it could no longer be moved, presumably to prevent guests from peeking.

Fortunately, although she has lost all five senses, she can barely tell the distance by the shaking of the box.

These boxes were carried for a while, and then there was a slight shock, and the boxes were placed on the ground.

Just when she thought she had arrived at her destination, the whole ground shook suddenly, and immediately turned into a slight rhythmic rhythm.

They turned out to be on a boat?

Yuqiansi pondered carefully, listening to his own deep and shallow breathing.

There was another slight shock, like the movement of a boat docking on the shore.

Sure enough, someone immediately lifted the box up again.For the next part of the journey, she had to lean back slightly, and she should be walking uphill.

After returning to stability again, the box was gently placed on the ground, someone knocked on the box three times, and there was no more movement immediately.

She waited for a long time, then tried to push the lid on top of her head again, a soft light leaked in, she breathed a sigh of relief, opened the lid and jumped out.

Only then did I realize that I was in a cave, surrounded by stone walls, and only a small door in front of me could enter and exit.

Except for the box I jumped out of just now, there is not much space here. On a small table next to it, there is a set of black clothes, half a white mask that can just cover the eyebrows and eyes, and a weapon rack stands beside it.

It seems that I have to change into this suit and remove all weapons before I can move freely.

She put a small dagger she was carrying on the tray, changed her clothes and put on a mask, opened the compartment door, and entered a dark corridor, surrounded by bitter moisture, it seems that the cave is far away from the water source not far.

Occasionally, people wearing the same clothes came out from the doors on both sides of the stone corridor. Everyone nodded in tacit understanding and walked towards the bright light at the end of one side.

Yu Qiansi memorized the serial number on her door, and walked forward slowly a few steps, a little hesitant.

Now that he is like this, how can he find Boyi?

The door on one side flung open, and an arm stretched out, dragging her in.

Her arms were pinched, and she subconsciously turned around to kick, but was pulled in by the other side, and was pressed to sit on the carrying box.

The white mask covered his brows and eyes, but the familiar curvature of the corner of his mouth still made her feel relieved.

"Bo Yi?"

The smile at the corners of the man's eyes gradually grew, he let go of Yu Qiansi, gently lifted his mask and put it down again.

Sure enough it was him.

Seeing him let go of herself, Yu Qiansi squinted her eyes, and kicked him again when he was unprepared.

Bo Yi hugged his knees and jumped up.

"You!" Why are you so vengeful!

"Soldiers never tire of deceit."

She smiled like a fox, just like the first time I saw her.

Boyi rubbed his throbbing knee, and raised the corner of his mouth uncontrollably.

At this moment, the relationship between the two of them was the same as before, as if all the contradictions and antagonisms in the past half month had disappeared into nothingness in an instant.

Yu Qiansi didn't know what he was thinking, and asked doubtfully, "How did you recognize me?"

Bo Yili stood up, his hair was thrown back in an arc: "I won't tell you!"

Boyi tore a strip from his original black clothes, tied it in a circle around his wrist and tied it in a knot.

"That way you'll recognize me."

Then he grabbed Yu Qiansi's wrist, and the two left here together.

Although it was just the wrist, Yu Qiansi was a little unaccustomed to being led by others, and after struggling a few times, the person in front of her didn't let go.

He turned back and asked her with some teasing: "Don't grab me, do you want to get lost?"

Yu Qiansi had no choice but to let go and let Boyi lead her.

The light at the end of the stone corridor gradually enveloped them.

There were two guards at the entrance of the cave, and they were allowed to leave after checking their invitations and whether they were carrying weapons.

After leaving the cave, they entered a magnificent hall.

It is so high that the lamps and candles hanging under the beam seem to be in the clouds, unattainable.It is so wide that not only can thousands of people stand calmly in the hall, but there is also a protruding stage on one side of the main hall.

The entire stage is carved with intricate cloud patterns.Moires are intertwined, forming faces of happiness or sadness.

Some seem to be weeping, and some seem to smile with tears. It is hard to count how many human faces there are, but they are all different.

After staring at him for a long time, I just feel that these faces are staring at me with their own emotions, which makes people feel cold behind.

A scene of joys and sorrows is being staged on the stage at the moment.

It seems to be telling a story about the love between a fairy and a god, general and monster.

Boyi frowned and admired for a moment, then leaned close to her and asked with a smile, "Could this be the protagonist who is getting married today?"
