The gambling concubine has an appointment, the prince will come again

Chapter 123 Return to business as usual
"Small... I can't understand this scene." Phantom resisted the desire to fight back, and played that person exactly the same.

When the other three heard this, they just laughed and didn't pay much attention to it - if even the law enforcement officers of a country are like this, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before the country is breached.

Phantom easily chatted with the other three, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, it's better to do things with His Highness, if he stays with these people for a long time, I'm afraid he will also be mentally retarded by "pollution".However, it is also because the person who was stunned by the phantom is a newcomer, so it is not easy to be suspicious.

"I said, sir, can you tell me where the seventh concubine is locked up?" Phantom asked seemingly casually.

"Ah? What are you calling the Seventh Prince? She's a prisoner now." The man replied lazily, then seemed suspicious, and turned around and asked, "Why do you care about this now, brat?"

"Didn't you know that there will be a vigil tonight, little one? I came here to ask, if you are a little late, you will be charged money." Phantom hurriedly replied.Fortunately, I heard a few conversations between the two before, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get along.

The person nodded and said: "Dizijian, No. 18. It's strange to say that, according to her status, she should go to Tianzijian anyway, why was she assigned to us."

Although the Dali Temple detains some people with status and status, they are divided into grades. Some local landlords are naturally locked in the worst cells, but such things are generally not reported to the Dali Temple. , so it is vacant all the year round, called Dizijian; some high-quality officials who committed crimes in the court were locked in Tianzijian. place.And the Tianzijian is a cell dedicated to detaining people with royal blood. Although the treatment is the best, those who enter will have their identities revoked and the guards are the strictest.

"This little one doesn't know." Phantom answered casually, but silently recorded the news in her heart, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad.Although the condition of this place is not good, there are few guards, so it is easier to save people.But on the other hand, I am afraid that Concubine Xian locked her in the underground room precisely for this reason, and I don't know how many surprise attacks Tao Mo received in just a few days.

After returning to the palace, Phantom found a reason to go to the bathroom to escape, and was inevitably ridiculed by them again.Phantom avoided those people, came to the prison where the prisoners were held, walked in loudly, but was stopped by the cell boss at the door: "What are you doing?"

"You don't even know me?" Phantom bluffed and said: "I am sent by the concubine Xian in the palace to deliver a message, can you afford to be delayed?" After finishing speaking, he raised his foot and wanted to go inside again.

"Wait a minute." Hearing Concubine Xian, the cell leader hesitated, looked at the phantom, but stopped him.Phantom secretly despised her, not knowing how deeply Concubine Xian had intervened in the affairs of the court, places that should be neutral like Dali Temple had people who were inclined to her.

"Can you hold the token of the concubine Xian?" The prison chief looked at the phantom who was also puzzled.Phantom is neither advancing nor retreating at this time, damn it, why haven't I heard that this concubine Xian has a token?The people in the Dark Palace didn't say anything, did they?
Phantom smiled, and said: "The concubine Xian spoke in a hurry, and she didn't give me anything, but if I go back to get it..." Phantom showed a distressed expression: "I'm afraid I missed my lady's business."

"You go in." Unexpectedly, the jailer let him in very readily, but now it was Phantom's turn to be dumbfounded, looking at the jailer and asking: "What?" , I just want to scare you because of your unfamiliar face." The cell boss laughed heartily, gnashing his teeth against Phantom.

"Oh, by the way," the jailer leaned forward and asked, "You know what happened tonight, Concubine Xian, right?" What happened tonight?Phantom could probably guess it out of ten, so he answered in a mysterious way like him: "The concubine Xian sent me to prepare it. I would like to ask the cell boss to call out some of the people in the room for convenience. "

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The prison boss is indeed Concubine Xian's person, no wonder Concubine Xian is confident that she will blatantly bring someone to assassinate at night.

After making such a fuss, he finally entered the prison. Phantom walked quickly inside, secretly noting down all possible ambush places, and finally found the No. 18 room where Tao Mo was.Tao Mo was leaning against the wall boredly, pawing at the straw in his hand every time.When he looked up, he met Phantom's eyes.

"Phantom?" Tao Mo stood up, patted the straw on his body, and said hesitantly.After all, I didn't hear footsteps before he showed up, and it was impossible for Situ Yin to come dressed up like this, it looked like a phantom.

"Ma'am, be careful tonight, lest someone come and attack you." Phantom said simply.

"What, I thought you could bring some good news." Tao Mo stretched his waist, and casually lifted a piece of straw, revealing the blood stains underneath, and said, "Well, I've been here for a few days, and all of them have been dragged away."

"No," Phantom looked at Tao Mo's actions, but it was hard to laugh, and said solemnly: "That's not the case, this time they are probably determined to eradicate you. I will find a way to report to His Highness, madam Take this dagger to protect yourself first." Phantom drew out the dagger that he carried with him.Although he knew that Tao Mo's martial arts were very good, he was still a little worried.

"Okay, I got it. When you go back, remember to tell Situ Yin to pay attention to rest." Tao Mo smiled and put away the dagger.When she was locked up, everything on her body was searched, and she didn't have a single self-defense thing on her body, so she could only resist with straws.

Phantom nodded, remembering that the cell boss outside was still waiting, said goodbye in a hurry, and left.

As soon as the phantom left, Tao Mo put away his smiling face and put on a pensive one.It's a virtuous concubine again, Tao Mo never knew that his little life was so annoying.She just pretended to be calm, but she just didn't want to upset Phantom and Situ Yin.

Although she believed in Situ Yin, she still had to prepare herself.Tao Mo stuck the dagger into the leggings on his ankles, thinking.

Phantom came out of the prison, looked at the sky, it was dusk, he was in a bad mood, he had no time, so he hurried out of Dali Temple, and flew back to Situ Mansion.

Situ Yin had just received a letter from Zi Shu, and thought that the time would be almost the same. It would be time for Situ Yu to recover his sanity in the next day, and if he acted at that time, even if he failed, there would be another way out.Just thinking about it, I saw the phantom breaking through the door.

"How is it? What's the news?" Phantom didn't even have time to change out of Dali Temple's clothes. She likes to go fast and not many people see her.Situ Yin asked when he learned that Phantom had sneaked into Dali Temple.

Phantom didn't have time to answer, so he went directly to the table, picked up a brush and spread out the rice paper, drew the layout of the prison, and marked it.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Situ Yin asked aloud, "The time has been set, in three days."

"Your Highness, it's too late, they're going to start tonight!" Phantom said anxiously.I don't know if I should be lucky, but today he happened to sneak into Dali Temple.

"Do you know what time it is tonight?" "I heard people inside say it's midnight."

Situ Yin was startled, and then remembered the quarrel between Concubine Xian and the emperor, which might have irritated Concubine Xian and made her not calm down. "Go and inform the owner of Liufu Casino, tell him the matter as it is, and finally ask him to send a few masters to stay outside Dali Temple at midnight tonight. Once you encounter something, go in immediately."

"Yes. Do you want my subordinates to send a few experts from the Dark Palace to assist..." Phantom said hesitantly.After all, he was not familiar with that Luk Fook Casino, so it was hard to trust him.

Situ Yin sighed: "The Palace of Darkness can't get involved in this matter now." Originally, the emperor was just suspicious, but if his collusion with the sects of Jianghu was confirmed, he was afraid that there would be constant troubles in the future.

"Also, get ready, I'm going into the palace."

"Where are you going?" "Eastern Palace."

I'm afraid there are some things that are inconvenient for him to come forward, so I have to trouble the prince for help.

"The Seventh Prince is here—"

"Why is the seventh brother free to come to my East Palace tonight?" It was night, and the prince had already rested, and he was shocked to hear the news of Situ Yin's visit.Thinking of Tao Mo's being brought into the palace recently, he knew that he was also impatient, fearing that he might need help.

Situ Yin waited for the prince to clean up for a long time, and knew that it was inappropriate for him to disturb him late at night, but he didn't have time to apologize for these things, but said bluntly: "My brother has something to ask." Then he made a big gift.

The prince felt even more strange. Although he had taken care of Situ Yin in the court for many years, Situ Yin was only a casual acquaintance with him, and now he asked him, saying: "Seventh brother was killed because of his younger siblings." Bringing it into Dali Temple?" If it is this matter, it is better to say that if I enter the palace tomorrow and ask the emperor to apply for this matter, I am sure that I will not be rejected.

"It is indeed related to this matter." Situ Yin said: "Your Highness needs to enter the palace now, and you must persuade His Majesty to go to Dali Temple when you are born!" Situ Yin came to beg him only as a last resort. Seeing the assassination, I am afraid that Concubine Xian will say that she was framed.

"This..." The prince hesitated and said, "But it's late today, and the emperor may have rested, can tomorrow..."

"Your Highness, tonight, Concubine Xian will send people into Dali Temple to assassinate Mo'er. After tonight, I'm afraid..." Situ Yin pretended to be sad and disappointed.Even if the emperor refused to go to Dali Temple, at most it would be a head-on confrontation with Concubine Xian, but there would still be many troubles later.

"What? There is such a thing? Dali Temple discriminates against the concubine, and the first-time female class can easily break in?" The prince was furious.After all, he has the status of a prince, and he always thinks of the country when he encounters problems. If the dignified Dali Temple is bought by the harem cholera, I'm afraid...
