Chapter 223 Leave Without Saying Goodbye (Part [-])
There was the sound of orderly footsteps in the distance. The Imperial Forest Army patrolling in the palace came here. Seeing that everything was normal, they greeted the Imperial Forest Army guarding the gate and left again.

The two shadows on the tree not far away looked at each other.

One of them took out a bamboo tube from his pocket and blew a few mouthfuls in the direction of the main hall.

As the cold wind blew, a thin white mist emerged from the bamboo tube, and drifted towards the Imperial Forest Army at the entrance of the main hall along the direction of the wind.As soon as those imperial guards noticed something strange, they felt their minds were in chaos. Before they had time to react, they lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

The black shadow jumped down from the tree, and fumbled towards Cangzhen Pavilion in the dark.

The guarding guards were already unconscious, and the patrolling guards had just left, and the next batch of guards came a quarter of an hour later, so they had a quarter of an hour.

While one black shadow was checking the kung fu of the Imperial Forest Army on the ground, another black shadow fiddled with the lock at the entrance of the main hall under the light of the moon.

There was only a "click", and the key on the door was quickly opened. The black shadow waved back, pushed the door open, and the two entered the hall.

Gently closing the door, the two pulled off the black cloth covering their faces, revealing two unfamiliar faces.

They breathed lightly and looked around warily.

Cangzhen Pavilion is the place where Liangguo's imperial palace stores treasures, but Liangguo's landforms are mostly desert grasslands, the national power is not considered rich and powerful, and in addition to the fact that a lot of financial and material resources were consumed in the previous chaos of seizing the throne, the rare items in Cangzhen Pavilion Not much.

——This is why the guards at the gate are not considered strict.

The older man in black looked around, went to the side and rummaged, and quickly found two night pearls.

"Look around." He handed one of them to another man in black and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Dharma Protector." The man in black agreed, and walked in with the Ye Mingzhu.

Under the light of the faint night pearl, the arrow tattoos on the inside of their wrists are particularly eye-catching.

There are neat shelves in the hall, and every treasure is placed in a special box. Turning over the rows is really a labor-intensive project.

Time was limited, and the two immediately started rummaging around.

But they searched all the way, but couldn't find what they were looking for, and the expressions on the faces of the two became more and more serious.

"Guardian, is there a mistake in Qinshui Diji's information?" One of them lowered his voice and asked.

The man in black, known as the protector, shook his head, "No, I'll look for it again."

"Yes." The other person responded and started to act again.

The man in black, the Dharma protector, stood still, looking coldly at the situation in the hall. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he walked towards the innermost part of the hall.

When he got to the innermost part, he didn't rummage through the shelves, but tapped and felt on the wall.

What they were looking for was not an ordinary treasure, even Emperor Liang himself didn't know it, if it was really well placed in a box on the shelf, Emperor Liang could not fail to find it.

The greatest possibility is that the thing is hidden in a secret compartment somewhere, and has not been discovered yet.

Suddenly, he heard a different sound coming from a certain wall, he paused with his hand, put his ear close to it, and knocked carefully again.

Listening to the sound, the wall seems to be hollow inside.

The man in black looked happy, and checked around the wall more carefully with his hands.

Suddenly, a wall brick was pressed hard by him, and it was sunken inwards. At the same time, the wall in the hollow just now flicked outwards, revealing a square hidden compartment inside.

The man in black was overjoyed, and hurriedly called another person over.

A palm-sized ebony box was placed in the dark compartment, with exquisite patterns carved on it, and one could tell at a glance that the contents of the box were not commonplace.

He took out the box and opened it.

With the light of the Ye Mingzhu, the two of them saw the contents of the box clearly, and their eyes widened immediately, with surprised expressions on their faces.

On the wine-red velvet lay a withered weed, with its dense roots, it looked inconspicuous.However, a creamy translucent bead formed under each root, which showed that it was not an ordinary weed.

"Dharma protector, there is... actually there?" One person stammered and opened his mouth, both ecstatic and unbelievable.

"En." The black-clothed man closed the box and listened, "It's almost time, let's go out first."

After finishing speaking, he closed the door of the secret compartment, and the two left the hall along the original road, performed lightness kung fu, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Not long after they left, the patrolling Imperial Forest Army patrolled here again. Seeing the crooked Imperial Forest Army outside Zangzhen Pavilion, their face darkened immediately, and they shouted loudly, "There are assassins! Quickly block the palace gate!"

In an instant, the originally silent palace was turned on its back and brightly lit.

Outside the palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan who were sleeping were awakened by the rapid knock on the door.

"What's wrong?" Song Qinghuan was startled, and looked at Shen Chuhan.

Shen Chuhan shook his head, got up and dressed, "I'll go out and have a look, you don't have to worry." Then, he went to the outside and opened the door.

Song Qinghuan vaguely heard Xuanying's voice, and also heard a word or two such as "Gongli", and couldn't help but frown.

Something happened in the palace?
Something happened to Yin Zhan?
While thinking wildly, Shen Chuhan had already raised the felt curtain and entered the inner room.

"What's wrong?" She hurriedly got up and looked.

Shen Chuhan walked to her side, stopped her from getting up, and took off his outer shirt and got on the couch, "The Treasure Pavilion in the palace has been invaded."

"Zangzhen Pavilion?" Song Qinghuan frowned, "What is missing?"

"Qi is Qi here. Except for the two Ye Mingzhus that were dug out, there is nothing missing. Even the Ye Mingzhus were not taken away."

Song Qinghuan frowned even tighter, "Nothing was lost? Could it be that the thieves heard the patrolling Imperial Forest Army approaching before they found anything, so they had no choice but to flee?"

Shen Chuhan's eyes were deep, "I don't think this matter should be so simple."

He stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt on Song Qinghuan's shoulder, and said softly, "I've asked Xuan Ying to investigate, go to sleep first, Wan, and we'll talk about it when I wake up tomorrow."

"Yeah." Song Qinghuan was pregnant and drowsy, but she was still a little dazed at this moment, knowing that she would not be able to find out the reason for this matter for a while, she nodded, and slowly fell asleep again.

The next morning.

Because she was woken up in the middle of the night last night, Song Qinghuan woke up a bit late, and when she turned her head, Shen Chuhan had already got up and went to bed.

She called Liu Yue Shen Xing to come in.

"When did Ash leave?" She asked as she got up to get dressed.

"I left before dawn, Master Xiang said that you didn't sleep well last night, and asked the servants not to disturb you." Shen Xing replied interfaced.

"Is there any news from Xuanying?"

Shen Xing shook his head, "Xuan Ying doesn't seem to be in the mansion today."

Song Qinghuan said "hmm", knowing that Xuanying probably went out to investigate what happened last night, "When he comes back, tell him to come see me."

"Yes." Shen Xing agreed.

"By the way, Your Highness." Liu Yue remembered something, looked at her and said, "You asked me to keep an eye on Qiu'er two days ago, and you guessed it right, she sneaked out of the mansion yesterday afternoon."

"Where did you go?"

"I went to a small alley in the city. The servant was afraid that she would find out, so I didn't follow too closely. But she didn't stay in the alley for long, and she came out soon." Liu Yue said.

"Has anyone connected with her?"

"I waited there for a while, but I didn't see anyone coming, so I went into the alley to have a look. There was no one in the alley, and there was nothing unusual." Liu Yue was a little puzzled.

Song Qinghuan was pensive.

It seems that that alley is the place where Qiu'er meets her superiors. As for the methods, there are only a few of them.

"Tell Mu Bai to send someone to watch that alley." She ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes."

"Pass the breakfast."

After the morning court, Shen Chuhan didn't stay in the palace for long, and came back soon.

Hearing his footsteps outside the door, Song Qinghuan stood up to greet him.

Seeing Song Qinghuan lift up the felt curtain and come out, Shen Chuhan's face warmed up, and he dragged her into the room, "It's cold outside, don't come out."

Song Qinghuan said "Yes", and took off the cloak on his body for him and handed it to Shen Xing.

"How? Is there any further news?"

"The guards in front of Cangzhen Pavilion yesterday were stupefied. The imperial doctor said that it seems to be a method in the Jianghu." Shen Chuhan said in a cold tone.

"A method in the Jianghu?" Song Qinghuan was startled, and a name immediately appeared in his mind.

"Could it be...?" She looked up at Shen Chuhan in surprise.

Shen Chuhan nodded, and dragged her to the small study to sit down, "You think the same as I do. The only person who can make the palace and Jianghu get involved is Su Rao."

"What did Su Rao send people from Wuhen Palace to Cangzhen Pavilion?" Song Qinghuan was puzzled.Even if their guess is right, what is the reason?

Shen Chuhan pondered for a moment, a thick mist welled up in his eyes, and his tone was slightly slow, "Ah Wan, I suspect... this matter has something to do with Dry Yeqing."

Song Qinghuan became more and more surprised, and her eyes widened. "You mean, there are dead leaves in Cangzhen Pavilion? But if this is the case, how could Yin Zhan not know?"

"Your father, you also don't know that there are Huoyanghua hidden in Yuguo's treasury."

Song Qinghuan bit her lip, knowing that Shen Chuhan was right.Logically speaking, it is impossible for Father Huang and Yin Zhan not to know that such a precious elixir is in the palace, but they seem to know nothing about it.

Why exactly?
"Assuming our conjecture is correct, I don't know if Ah Wan has discovered that among the four major elixir, except for the fairy grass that grows on Yuheng Island, other elixir that grows longer than Yu Chen Liang and the Three Kingdoms have all appeared in the palace. Is this a coincidence?" Shen Chuhan continued to analyze.

Hearing this, Song Qinghuan also heard the clue.

The situation in the three countries is so similar, as if there is an invisible hand manipulating behind the scenes, it makes people have to think deeply.

Song Qinghuan let out a long sigh.

There are too many mysteries to solve right now—

Why did Su Rao get involved with Wuhen Palace?
And why did you send Wuhen Palace to explore the Zangzhen Pavilion at night?
What is the connection and secret between the four elixir?

I don't know if it's an illusion, but she always feels that there is an invisible thread that connects all the answers together. As long as they can find the source of this thread, all the mysteries will be solved.

The climate in Liangguo this year is colder than usual, but it hasn't snowed yet.

At the beginning of the tenth day of the lunar new year, the sky finally had numerous snowflakes.

The weather was extremely cold, Song Qinghuan stayed at home for the past few days and did not go out. Shen Chuhan had many things to do and went out early and returned late every day, but he didn't have much time to spend with him.

Although Shen Chuhan felt sorry for Song Qinghuan, but it was a special period right now, so he could only wrong Song Qinghuan first.But no matter what, he would rush back every night to have dinner with Song Qinghuan.

Fortunately, Ye Luo still lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Perhaps Shen Chuhan had explained to her that she would come to Song Qinghuan every day to chat with her to relieve boredom, and Ji Liuyun would occasionally come to take her pulse and check the condition of the fetus in her womb.

The good news is that the baby in her womb has always been well-behaved and healthy, Song Qinghuan finally let go of her dangling heart, and the unforgettable pain of losing a child in her previous life has finally eased.

After several days of snowfall, the sky finally cleared up this afternoon.

Song Qinghuan had been bored in the house for a few days and had already died of boredom. She ordered someone to clean up the snow in the yard, and went out to the yard accompanied by Ye Luo and Liuyue Chenxing.

It was almost dusk at this time, and the sky was dyed with magnificent colors by the sunset glow, and the sunset was all over the sky, which was truly spectacular.

Ye Luo looked at it and couldn't help sighing, "I thought that such a magnificent scenery can only be seen in Wuyou Valley, but I didn't expect Shengjing to have such a beautiful sunset."

Seeing her look a little lonely, Song Qinghuan said slowly, "Did you miss your father?"

Ye Luo shrugged her nose, turned her head and smiled at her, "I greeted my dad when I came out this time, he knows we won't go back on New Year's Eve."

Song Qing laughed happily, "I'm asking if you're homesick?"

Ye Luo's brows and eyes dimmed, and Qiqi Ai Ai sucked her nose and said, "Yes... a little bit."

Song Qinghuan pursed her lips, "Sorry."

She knew that Ye Luo and Ji Liuyun stayed in Shengjing largely because of herself.With them around, Shen Chuhan can deal with other things with peace of mind.

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, "Sister-in-law, what did you say to me to apologize? I dare say, if I really go back now, my father will also drive me out to accompany you. So you don't have to Come to think of it, raising a baby happily is the right thing to do."

Looking at the clear eyes of the little girl in front of him, Song Qinghuan was indescribably moved, and smiled at her, with a touch of relief in his eyes.

At this time, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, and looking back, Mu Bai walked in.

Seeing his solemn expression, Song Qinghuan also suppressed her smile, "What's wrong?"

"Ma'am, my son can't come back to have dinner with you tonight."

"What happened?"

Mu Bai's eyebrows darkened, "Emperor Ji Qinshui left without saying goodbye."
