Chapter 409

"I don't know." Du Yuanxiu frowned, she had never seen such a thing.

"It was found from the cabinet in your house. You said you didn't know?" Dongfang Xu's tone was full of danger, but the woman in front of him firmly raised her head and looked at him with open eyes. .

"The concubine has never seen this thing before."

That stubborn little face made Dongfang Xu a little dazed.The woman in front of her is completely different from the gentle and weak woman in the past.Her belly was raised high, and her eyes were undisguised.

"Our hall has already sent someone to investigate. A few months ago, this hall was drunk once, and you entered the hall's room and said! Could it be that time, you stole the jade pendant of this hall!" Dongfang Xu's voice was full of suspicion, Du Yuanxiu's suspicious eyes fell on the jade pendant around his waist, what does this mean?
"Why did the concubine steal His Highness's jade pendant?"

Her eyes don't seem to be lying.Dongfang Xu also felt puzzled, why did Du Yuanxiu want to do this, besides, he never mentioned to her the importance of this jade pendant.

"Did you know that with this kind of thing, this palace can convict your Changqinghou Mansion of collaborating with the enemy and traitor?"

Collaborating with the enemy? !Du Yuanxiu's eyes widened in surprise, "Your Highness, the concubine is completely unaware of this matter. The Marquis of Changqing has served the Kingdom of Chen for many years, and it is even less likely that he will collude with the enemy and betray the country. If Your Highness suspects, you can put the concubine in prison. The concubine is willing to bear it alone!"

She took a step forward with a little excitement, but her body was heavy and heavy. Too many things happened that day, which made her face pale and weak.

Dongfang Xu's eyes hesitated, he immediately avoided the other's gaze, and then looked at the ink pad.If someone really carved his jade pendant, there was news just now that several capable subordinates he had placed in the court were assassinated one after another. It seems that the other party used his jade pendant to lure out his subordinates.

At this time, a slight voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in."

Shen Qing appeared in their line of sight with a serious face, "Your Highness, I have something to report."

……

In the deserted woods.

"Messenger! Messenger!" Xiyue's face was full of anxiety, she already knew what happened, she didn't expect that the jade pendant on Prince Chen's body was so important, and such a big thing happened, now that Du Yuanxiu was taken away, But it is hard to guarantee that Prince Chen will still doubt himself.

Xiyue knew that she was in a very dangerous situation.Even if she is not reconciled, she has to leave a way out for her life.

"What's wrong with the princess, so flustered?"

There was a smile on Lan Xiangliang's face. During these days, he had seen clearly all the tricks of this woman in front of him.He didn't hand over that letter to Xiao Yichen for Xiyue at all. His mission was to monitor Xiao Huang's every move in Chen Guo Palace and destroy it in the crowd. He was not Xiao Yichen's running dog.

Therefore, in Lan Xiangliang's eyes, all Xiyue's actions were nothing more than a clown, but they also added a little fun to his boring life in Chen Kingdom Palace.

"Messenger, has your majesty sent you a letter?"

"What? The princess is in a hurry?"

How can Xiyue care about the teasing in Lan Xiangliang's tone, "Your Majesty has already made a move, and the Crown Prince of Chen Kingdom will definitely suspect me. I beg the envoy to tell His Majesty to come quickly to save Xiyue... Xiyue knows The many secrets of Prince Chen will definitely be helpful to His Majesty!"

The other party's pleading expression made the corner of Lan Xiangliang's mouth twitch slightly, but he was indifferent.

"It's true! Xiyue also drugged the Crown Prince of Chen Kingdom. If Xiyue is caught, the Crown Prince will try every means to coerce Xiyue into handing over the antidote! His Majesty will be destroyed by then." What a big deal!" Xiyue used this reason to deceive the envoy at that time.Xiao Huang's original purpose was also to let Xiyue drug Dongfang Xu so that he could control him.

"Didn't you already put the blame on the crown prince's side concubine?"

"But... Crown Prince Chen may not believe it!" She never thought that Emperor Xiao would do such a thing with the jade pendant he stole. If the investigation and handling of this matter is related to the Yi Kingdom, he will definitely doubt himself!
Today's Crown Prince of Chen Kingdom is no longer the upright and soft-hearted person before. The death of Emperor Chen made Dongfang Xu seem to have changed. Now, Xiyue is not sure what methods the Crown Prince will use to deal with her!
Therefore, she can no longer stay in the Chen Kingdom Palace!Even though she was very unwilling in her heart, compared with her own life, the position of queen was nothing.

Living is the most important thing!
"After leaving Chen Kingdom, what about the antidote for the Crown Princess?" Lan Xianghao seemed to be watching a good show, and his words made Xiyue's whole body stiff.

This... what does this mean?Could it be that the envoy knew that he had been asking the Crown Prince Chen for an antidote?How did he know?No, it's impossible!But...if the messenger didn't know, how could he say such words.

"...What does the messenger mean by this..."

"The concubine is so smart, don't you understand? Is the antidote prepared by the county master Yongji very useful? Instead of asking Xiao Huang for help, why don't you kowtow to Prince Chen and admit your mistake?" Lan Xiangliang looked at Xiyue's flustered expression. look, and smiled ironically.

He didn't like the people trained by Xiao Yichen at all, although he also felt sorry for the woman in front of him.

Xiyue's legs went limp, no matter how stupid she was, she understood that the envoy knew everything, so His Majesty also knew?

In the blink of an eye, she was the only one left in the forest again, Xiyue couldn't control it anymore, she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.Now that she can't rely on anyone, she can only rely on herself...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! What should we do? Slave, I don't want to die!" Xinlan had already realized that the situation was not good, and now she could only pray that Xiyue would take her with her when she left.

"Get out! Don't block Bengong's way!" Xiyue was full of anxiety, not caring about this idiot, she kicked Xinlan away and hurriedly packed her baggage.be quick!Taking advantage of the darkness today, she must escape from the Chen Kingdom Palace.

By the way, that place!The palace that the second prince used to go to before, jumped out of that window, and she could escape without anyone noticing the eyes and ears of the palace!
"Your Majesty, don't leave your servant behind! This servant has devoted herself to serving your Majesty all these years, please help your Majesty!"

Xinlan's crying made Xiyue very impatient, she stared at the maid at her feet bitterly, a thought flashed through her, and she slowly calmed down, "Then you have to promise me, don't drag me Hind legs, I will take you away!"

"...Slaves will definitely not drag the empress down!"

"That's good! Put this one on!" She casually grabbed her own dress and threw it at Xin Lan's feet.

"Shen Qing!"

When Xiyue called out, the guards outside immediately came in.Xiyue's eyes were bright, "Go, find out when Jingde Road will be unmanned tonight!"

"Subordinates obey."

Seeing Shen Qing's leaving back, Xiyue sneered in her heart, her heart was beating wildly, she looked around this luxurious bedroom, her eyes were full of unwillingness.

Now that it's over, what else can she say!If it weren't for the fact that she would never have a bright future in the Yun family, she would not have defected to the queen. She thought that being entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Xiao emperor would strengthen her position in the Yun family after returning to the country.But people's hearts are unpredictable. She has never had such a prosperous and rich life. It is ambition that blinds her eyes.

However, even if she really does serve His Majesty Xiao Huang wholeheartedly, so what?He is the same person as the queen, perhaps, His Majesty never thought of letting himself go back alive.

"Haha...hahaha..."

"Mother?" Xinlan was taken aback by Xiyue who suddenly laughed strangely, and stepped forward cautiously, only to find that the woman's face was covered with tears, and the expression of crying and laughing was frightening.

Suddenly, Xiyue turned her face, with endless madness in her eyes, "Just watch, I will definitely escape! I will!"

She tightly grasped the packed package, which contained enough antidote to support her return to Yun's house.At that time, she can go to find her mother. She believes that the members of the Yun family will be able to help her formulate the antidote!

As long as you get out alive, there is hope!
"Jingde Road?" Dongfang Xu's face turned cold, and Shen Qing stood aside respectfully, "Order, stay on guard at Jingde Road tonight, let me see what tricks she can play!"

Dongfang Xu didn't order anyone to directly order Xiyue to be arrested, because he knew that there was Xiao Yichen's eyeliner in the palace, and maybe he could use her to find this person.

The night is fading.

The two women squatted quietly in the corner, waiting for the opportunity to come.

"Your Majesty, this servant is afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? If you stay here, you will die, so why not give it a go!" Xiyue gritted her teeth and immediately stood up, "Remember, we meet at Shunde Palace!"

"The servant understands!"

The two wore identical clothes, pulled up their cloaks to cover half of their faces, and stepped out of the room at the same time.

However, they didn't realize that a pair of clear eyes were staring at her closely in the dark.

Du Yuanxiu's eyes were cold, she already knew everything from Shen Qing, Xiyue ordered him to inquire about Jingdelu's defense today, presumably, she wanted to escape from the palace, right?There was a sneer on his face, she killed her own sister, how could she sit still and wait for death? !

However, two identical figures appeared in the distance, causing Du Yuanxiu's eyes to sink, and she immediately understood that one of them must be a fake!Xiyue intends to use this as a cover-up, so who is she?

Jingde Road?Jingdelu... If I were Xiyue, what would I do?
She believed that Shen Qing had become a puppet, could it be that he would really escape from Jingde Road?No, my intuition told Du Yuanxiu that things would definitely not be that simple.

People wear the same clothes as me just to distract others, so I will definitely choose the opposite path, the farther away from danger the better!

Thinking of this, Du Yuanxiu immediately restrained his expression, and followed one of them into the darkness.
