Night, the imperial study room of Tianqi Palace, the secret room of the dark palace.

The atmosphere in the secret room was stagnant, with only the faint candlelight flickering and making weak crackling sounds from time to time.

Ying Yi and An Yi lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

A long time, a long time.

Black Eagle's voice came from outside the secret room: "Your Majesty, the portrait has been drawn."

"Come in." Emperor Mingxi responded.

Hearing this, Yingyi hurriedly walked over and opened the stone door.

Black Eagle walked into the secret room, bowed and handed over the portrait, but with a look of confusion on his face, he said, "Your Majesty, this is that man's portrait."

Looking at Black Eagle with a strange expression, Emperor Mingxi frowned: "What's wrong?"

Black Eagle bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, my subordinates seem to have seen this person before, but I can't remember where I saw him."

Emperor Mingxi quickly took the portrait and looked at it, but there was helplessness in his eyes... It had been so many years, and he had seen it from a distance several times, but now he has long forgotten it.

After a moment, he called out: "Ying Yi."

With that said, he handed the portrait to Ying Yi. Ying Yi hurriedly took the portrait and looked at it carefully.

for a long time.

Just then he nodded and replied: "That's right. Your Majesty, this person is the leader's apprentice."

Emperor Mingxi's eyes suddenly condensed, with a look of violence in his eyes.

Black Eagle on the side was also frightened. He only knew that the leader's apprentice was dead, but he didn't know or see the others. Why are they still alive now!

At this moment, An Yi next to him took the portrait and looked at it, but he was instantly shocked: "This..."

Emperor Mingxi immediately raised his head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

An Yi looked at the portrait in his hand, his eyes full of shock, and he said tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, this person is the secret guard of the late Concubine Xian."

Emperor Mingxi was instantly surprised and shouted: "Xianfei!"

Black Eagle was even more frightened and hurriedly took the portrait and looked at it.

An Yi hurriedly replied: "That's right. Your Majesty, when Concubine Xian just entered the palace, she was surrounded by this male secret guard. Later, after he left, two female secret guards came in."

Black Eagle was instantly startled and hurriedly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I have remembered that this is the person."

"After Concubine Xian entered the palace, her subordinates arranged for An Yi to monitor Chengqian Palace. Therefore, An Yi should know the appearance of the secret guard best."

"That time this man came out of the palace to pick up two female secret guards. At that time, An Yi was feeling unwell, so his subordinates took An Yi's place and looked at him. At that time, they only saw his profile from a distance. Later, when An Yi came back, his subordinates

Gone."

"By the way, the secret guard's name is Ji Haotian. He was the secret guard assigned to Concubine Xian by Marquis Wen Ding in the tenth year of Zong Yuan's reign. This is what we found at that time."

At this moment, Emperor Mingxi had murderous intent in his eyes...

Oh, Dugu Che, Dugu Ziyan, you are so kind! Since my secret guard has run into your palace! It was Xiao Yun who made the death message!

Ji Haotian! Xiao Tianhao! Xiao Yun, what on earth are you doing!

And the inn in Qingzhou? Dugu Ziyan also asked Xu Yan to go to Qingzhou last time. Could it be related to this matter?

But that's not right. It was a year later and they couldn't find anything. Now after so long, what can Xu Yan find out after he goes there?

for a long time.

Emperor Mingxi spoke again: "Black Eagle, send a message to Xiao Yun and ask him to return to the imperial capital immediately without any further delay."

"Also, go to the Qingzhou Inn they mentioned. See if you can find out whether Xu Yan has been there a while ago."

Black Eagle was startled, bowed and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After a moment, Emperor Mingxi shouted: "Also, before Xiao Yun comes back, all secret guards in the private residence will stay in the secret hall and are not allowed to go out."

The three Black Eagles were shocked and quickly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Night, Tianqi Palace, Changchun Palace.

Inside the sleeping hall.

Su Lan walked forward and said: "Miss, the bed is ready, you can go to bed quickly."

On the lady's chair, Lin Xueer just put down the book in her hand and said, "Yeah, okay."

Su Lan continued: "Miss, the weather is getting colder and colder now. How about I light a charcoal stove for you?"

Lin Xueer smiled: "Sulan, your lady is not that weak. It's not so cold now that she needs to burn the charcoal stove, okay?"

With that said, he walked to the bed.

Su Lan smiled: "Okay, then let's cover up the quilt."

After saying that, he helped his young lady to tuck herself into bed.

Knock... Knock... Knocking sound came from the carved window.

Lin Xueer, who was lying on the bed, sat up instantly and nervously grabbed Sulan's hand.

Asked softly: "Sulan, did you hear it?"

Su Lan nodded desperately, then her face was filled with joy, and she said: "I heard it, I heard it, Miss, please wait."

Lin Xueer immediately grabbed Su Lan and whispered: "Let's go together."

Su Lan smiled, pulled up her young lady, crossed the screen, and came to the imperial concubine chair.

Sulan said: "Miss, I heard a sound, did you hear it?"

Lin Xueer smiled and responded: "I heard it."

The sound just fell. A figure flashed into the dormitory very quickly, stood in front of the carved window, and called softly: "Xue'er, I'm here."

At this moment, Lin Xueer was stunned, staring blankly at the man in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief... Brother Han is really here!

When Su Lan saw it, she quietly retreated to the door of the dormitory, listening to what was going on outside.

I was secretly happy... The young lady usually doesn't like it when palace maids come to serve in the bedroom. Therefore, there is no one inside and outside the bedroom.

Looking at Lin Xueer, who was stunned in thin clothes, Han Yeting smiled.

He turned around and took off a cloak from the truss on the side, walked forward, put it on the woman, tied the belt carefully, and said: "The weather is getting colder and colder, Xueer, don't catch a cold."

At this moment, Lin Xueer's eyes were full of smiles, and she nodded in response: "Yes."

After a moment, he smiled awkwardly: "Brother Han, the matter is still unclear, so this girl Sulan will tell you and let you worry about it."

Han Yeting reached out and stroked the hair on the woman's forehead and said, "Xue'er, I do."

Looking at the hand stroking her hair and hearing the voice, "I do," Lin Xueer was stunned.

Looking at the stunned woman.

Han Yeting said hurriedly: "Xue'er, I am willing to worry about you."

"From the first time I saw you in Yunzhou, I couldn't forget it. Then I finally saw you in the palace, and I couldn't forget it even more."

"These days outside the palace, I think about you every day. Xue'er, just let me worry about you, okay?"

Lin Xueer frowned...

The idea of ​​leaving the palace has always been there. Her plans for the future have always been between herself and Sulan.

When he said he wanted to help her, she was very happy. However, she did not dare to ask for more. After all, she was still a concubine now.

Seeing the stunned woman, Han Yeting said anxiously: "Xue'er, when you leave the palace in the future, just let me stay with you, okay?"

Lin Xueer came back to her senses instantly and said: "Brother Han, I am the emperor's concubine. Even if I leave the palace in the future, I will still be married."

Han Yeting frowned, and instantly pulled Lin Xueer into his arms, saying, "Xueer, those things are not important, they will pass away."

"Xue'er, let me accompany you from now on, okay?"

At this moment, there was disbelief in Lin Xueer's eyes, but she did not break away from the embrace, and she even felt attached to her.

Han Yeting urged anxiously: "Xue'er, please promise me, okay?"

for a long time.

Lin Xueer finally raised her hand, hugged the man back, and responded: "Okay. Just wait for me, I will definitely go out."

Han Yeting was instantly delighted: "Okay! Okay!"

At the palace gate, Su Lan was already snickering.
