Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 237 The best brother
"That's pretty much it." Cheng Qing said with a smile.

"Sister, what on earth did you do in the imperial study? Don't tell me, you have already turned to Zhao Wuye," Cheng Yue said.

"What if I say that I really went to Zhao Wuye?" Cheng Qing asked.

Cheng Yue frowned, held her shoulders, and said anxiously: "Have you really taken refuge in Zhao Wuye? Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?!"

"What did I say? I told you that I took refuge in Zhao Wuye, what are you going to do?" Cheng Qing asked him with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course I will seek refuge with you. Although I don't know why you seek refuge with Zhao Wuye, you and I, brother and sister, are a family. There is absolutely no reason to help outsiders become enemies. Now that you have decided who you want to seek refuge with, I Of course I will join you," Cheng Yue said.

Cheng Qing felt as if lava had entered her heart, burning her heart to the point of pain. She almost wanted to cry. She couldn't help but ask, "Even if my decision is wrong, do you not regret being with me at all?"

"Who calls you my sister?" Cheng Yue said: "Besides, sister, I already know what kind of person you are as your brother. Justice is more important than life. You want me to believe that your decision is wrong. Yes, it is better to convince me that Zhao Wuyuan is no longer a good person and is not trustworthy. Sister, what kind of evil thing did Zhao Wuyuan do? Tell me."

Cheng Qing laughed, pushing back the tears that almost reached his eyes, and said: "I will follow your true tactics. I did take refuge in Zhao Wuye, but I pretended to take refuge."

"Pretending to surrender?" Cheng Yue was a little confused.

"Listen to me, this is what happened..."

Cheng Qing narrated the development process in detail, drank a cup of tea in the middle, and then slowly finished the process in detail.

Cheng Yue listened, understood, and asked, "Is this really okay? Why do I feel like it's very risky?"

"There is no better way now. If you want to win the final victory, you must first learn to show weakness, first take refuge in one of them, and help that one to fight the other." Cheng Qing said solemnly: "In terms of method, the same method as Zhao What Wuye did before was somewhat similar, so even if we take refuge with him, we will still be tempted in every possible way."

Cheng Yue took her words and continued: "So you just proposed to cooperate with him, but you didn't really take refuge in him."

Cheng Qing nodded, "Yes, only in this way will he believe us to a certain extent."

"Then in order to make him continue to believe, everything we have to do will be beneficial to him." Cheng Yue guessed.

Cheng Qing nodded again and said: "And it can't be too obvious, otherwise, he will think that we did it on purpose."

"You asked Zhao Wuyuan to take refuge in secret without knowing it, that's what you meant, right?" Cheng Yue asked.

"Yes, he is the only one who believes that we are still using the three-legged stance to confuse Zhao Wujue for the time being, and that is enough." Cheng Qing said.

"By the way, I saw you sneakily following a eunuch tonight. What did you want to do? And halfway through, you turned around and ran away again." Cheng Yue asked.

"He was not an eunuch from the palace, but he deliberately walked in front of me, just to arouse my curiosity and let me follow him. When I found that a long way past was the cold palace, I stopped. Got off. I concluded that someone must have deliberately led me there. If I followed him and faced the trap deliberately set by the other party, wouldn't I be in trouble?" Cheng Qing said.

Cheng Yue nodded and said: "Indeed, sister, you are still cautious enough. If it were me, I would definitely follow the mountain if I knew it was heading toward the Hushan Mountain."

"Some things are more risky than curious things, so there is no need to follow them." Cheng Qing said.

"Ah."

"Brother, I haven't asked you yet, what have you been doing? Besides saving him, what are you doing? Why haven't you been seen for so long?" Cheng Qing asked.

Cheng Yue picked up her hand and wrote a few words on her hand.

Cheng Qing's eyes lit up and he laughed.

"Sister, why are you calling us back in such a hurry?" Cheng Yue asked.

Cheng Qing sighed: "It's not because someone has to play 'Bai Xiuyuan'. If someone doesn't plan to play in person, naturally only a fake will appear."

Cheng Yue touched his chin and asked, "Is it because of the medicine?"

"Yes, Qiu Yan has been studying it for a long time. I don't know if it has been completed yet?" Cheng Qing said. "It's okay, I'll go take a look. Sister, it's getting dark. If you're okay, just eat something and rest early." Cheng Yue said.

"Ah."

……

The next day, in the palace.

In the wide open space, a high platform for performing rituals was set up, with yellow flags on all sides, and an incense table in the middle.

All the ministers knelt around the high platform, looking very respectful.

When the time came, Zhao Wujue immediately went up to the high platform and began to perform rituals for the late emperor.

At a far corner, Cheng Qing, who was dressed in white and lightly attired, was watching secretly, thinking that Zhao Wujue's stay in the Taoist temple for so many years is not in vain, and this ritual is really well done.

But then again, her uncle seemed to be absent.

Concubine Shu said before that that person was from the Yuan Kingdom. If he was not here, where would he go?

Cheng Qing frowned slightly and left quietly.

After leaving Muchen Palace, she took out the small note and writing brush she carried with her. After writing a note, she called a pigeon, rolled up the note and put it into the small tube on its leg. Then he let it fly away.

While waiting for the news, she was not idle.

Went in the direction of the Imperial Study Room.

Now the emperor is also at Muchen Palace, and the imperial study room is completely empty at the moment.

Although there are heavy guards here, anything is possible.

Maybe someone got in?

With this possibility in mind, Cheng Qing quickly took a shortcut to the imperial study room.

She thought for a while, and instead of going directly to the imperial study room, she climbed up a tall tree.

The big tree is facing the direction of the Imperial Study Room, with a wide field of vision. You can directly see all the movements in the Imperial Study Room.

Just as she squatted on the tree, she heard the sound of pigeons cooing.

Cheng Qing whistled.

The bird flew in her direction.

"who?!"

The Royal Forest Army also found her trace, ran under the tree, saw her, and said: "I have seen the commander."

Cheng Qing sat on the tree and said to them: "You continue to patrol, I'm fine here."

"Yes." The Imperial Guards saluted and continued to patrol.

Cheng Qing then opened the note, and then she saw the route Taoist Master Qinghui took half an hour ago.

He first went to Zhaohua Palace to pay homage to Concubine Shu, and then left the harem and went to the Imperial Garden.
