The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 479 The Change of Elbow and Armpit (8)
"What do you want to do?" Qingchen took a step back alertly, Jinxiu took the opportunity to stand in front of her, and drew out the sharp sword in her hand.

Su Di stood still, Jinxiu might not be his opponent, but if the two of them really fought and alarmed the patrolling guards, no matter how good his martial arts were, it would be difficult for him to escape from the palace, he knew this very well .

"Do you want to knock me out and go out of the palace?" Qingchen took two steps back, keeping a relatively safe distance from him, to ensure that he would have the chance to call for help, "I said earlier that I would not leave, If you insist on taking me away, you are forcing me to die. Don't blame me for being merciless. If he really had any difficulties, he should find a way to take me away when I was in the palace, not when I was in the palace. After entering the palace, a heartfelt letter forced me to forget him. Now I live a good life, and I don’t blame him. No matter what he had to do at the beginning, I don’t want to know anymore. Just take care of yourself. I don’t want to suffer any more. It's getting tangled up."

Su Di anxiously took a step forward, but was blocked by Jinxiu forcefully, "Ma'am, sir, he does have something important to tell you, but this matter is related to Madam's life, so you can't do it casually." Tell others, if the empress really refuses to go with your subordinates, can you agree to meet your husband at the Hanlin Pavilion in Xiyuan ten days later?"

Qingchen really didn't want to see him again. Although she didn't know what she was afraid of in her heart, she just had a faint resistance, but she also knew very well that if she didn't make it clear to him face to face, Qin Zishuo might not give up.If this continues, both of them will die.

Instead of this, it's better to follow his wishes. If we meet each other and let each other go, there will be no regrets in this life.

Seeing Su Di looking at her anxiously, Qingchen nodded, "Then let's meet at Hanlin Pavilion in ten days. Before that, I don't want to see you again."

Su Di clasped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if the subordinates don't follow the orders of Mr., they will never come to see you without authorization."

Qingchen turned around and left, "Jinxiu, we're going back."

Seeing that the two of them had gone far away, Su Di wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered the things Qin Zishuo asked him to give her, so he hurriedly chased after her, until he reached the gate of Tonghua Palace, and finally caught up.

Su Di took out a piece of jade pendant from her bosom and gave it to her, saying: "Sir asked me to give this to my mother, and said it belonged to my mother."

Qingchen took the jade pendant and looked at it several times. The high-quality round red jade pendant was carved with a pair of vivid jade rabbits. The golden ruyi knot was hung with long tassels, which was very beautiful.Although I can't put it down, I really can't remember where I saw this thing.

"This... doesn't seem to belong to me."

Su Di hurriedly said: "Mr. said that this is my mother's favorite thing when she was a child. To be precise, it is a jade pendant worn before she was ten years old."

Qingchen suddenly looked up at him, and asked in surprise: "Is it something I wore when I was a child? I didn't know him before I was ten years old."

Su Di didn't know how to answer her question, "My subordinates have limited knowledge, and I don't know what happened to your mother when she was a child. My mother should wait until we meet and ask Mr. personally."

Holding the jade pendant, Qingchen instantly understood Qin Zishuo's intentions, and asked coldly, "Did he give me this thing because he was afraid that I wouldn't go to see him, so he deliberately used it to arouse my curiosity about my life experience?" , you have to go see him, right?"

Seeing that she had figured it out so quickly, Su Di had no choice but to say: "The subordinates dare not speculate on the meaning of the master, they are just following orders."

"Hmph!" Qing Chen didn't say anything more, turned around and entered Tonghua Palace.

Su Di stepped lightly and walked not far away, when he suddenly heard a very small cracking sound behind him, like the sound of dead branches being crushed under his feet. When I went back, I saw two girls who looked like little maids behind a rock.

There was a food box under the two people's feet, and it seemed that they had been hiding there for a long time. Su Di pierced the heart of one of them with a sword without hesitation, and the other was cut off by him before he could call for help. Broken throat.

When someone heard such a thing, he had to kill to silence it, otherwise not only Qingchen would be in danger, but Qin Zishuo would also be implicated.

In the morning, he came back from the Queen's Palace to pay his respects. Just after finishing his breakfast, a group of people suddenly broke into the courtyard. The leader was Zhou Shengren, the eunuch in charge of the Queen's Palace.

Qing Chen didn't know what happened, so he came out holding Yun Lan's hand and asked: "Why did Mr. Zhou come to my palace with such a big battle? But does the empress have any intentions?"

Zhou Shengren's face was expressionless, and his voice was very cold, "Ms. Concubine Rong offended her. The slave was ordered by the emperor to come to the empress's palace to search for something. Please forgive me."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Qingchen to answer, he waved his hand at the people who brought him, and they all rushed into the room with a whoosh.

When Jin Xin saw this, she wanted to stop her, but where could she stop her? Seeing that they were so rude, she was so angry that she blushed and shouted loudly: "You guys are really presumptuous, it's only you slaves who can search the things in your mother's house at will. Is it? Get out of here quickly!"

Such a sudden search made Qingchen realize that something must have happened, and it must be a serious matter, otherwise, even if the empress does not have the permission of the emperor, she cannot make people search her bedroom at will.

Qingchen thought about it carefully, she didn't go out much these days, even if someone wanted to frame her, she would never put the stolen goods in her inner room, so she was not very worried, but seeing Zhou Shengren's posture made her Uneasy from the bottom of my heart.

He shook his head lightly at Jin Xin who was furious, signaling her to calm down, and then asked Zhou Shengren with a tense face: "Eunuch Zhou brought people to my palace to search, so you must let me know what happened? If you're here on business, you won't have to explain anything, so what is your father-in-law looking for in my palace?"

Only then did Xue Zisheng bow, and still said with a calm face: "Miss Rong, last night, Gu Jieyu and her maid Caiping were killed behind the rockery outside the palace of the empress. They were murdered this morning." When it was discovered, someone found a button from Gu Jieyu's hand, and the servant in the thread room confirmed that the button was taken from one of the empress's clothes, so the empress asked the servant to bring someone here Search, and take your wife to Duanfu Palace to find out."

Before he finished speaking, Qingchen felt his eyes go dark, and his whole body was as cold as if someone poured a basin of cold water in the cold winter months. She was so shocked that she couldn't believe what she heard. Slumped to the ground.For a while, she couldn't see anything, only heard Zhou Shengren's voice saying that Gu Jieyu was killed outside her door...
