044 Night exploration of Jiuchong Palace (1)

Kyoto, Seven Princes' Palace.

"Senior, what should we do now?" Mu Ziling asked in a deep voice. The turbulent undercurrent in his eyes slowly returned to calm, but the pain hidden in his eyes did not fade at all.

Zhong Xiaozi stroked his white beard, pondered for a moment and then said: "It's up to you to decide what to do, but just a little. Don't make the Queen Mother angry, otherwise I won't be able to help you."

Mu Ziling couldn't help but wonder: "Senior knows my mother very well? Could it be that my mother used to..."

Zhong Xiaozi suddenly raised his eyes and directed his sharp gaze at Mu Ziling, "Not only can you not anger her, but you can't have the slightest intention of harming her, and don't even think about uncovering her past, otherwise I will definitely not let her go.

Pass you."

Mu Ziling lowered his eyes and said: "It's the junior who is talking too much. Senior, don't worry, even if she is not the biological mother of the junior, she is still the mother and queen of the junior. I will definitely not do anything treacherous." However, the drooped eyelids also lowered the look in his eyes.

Doubtful and sharp.

"That's all," Zhong Xiaozi said, "I'll let Zhan Feng go into the palace first to check the situation, but are you too concerned about Yu Rao?"

Mu Ziling was heartbroken. He was silent for a long time and then said, "I owe her..."

At this moment, Yan Ning walked in quickly and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Yan Sang that the princess has disappeared again."

Mu Ziling suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Yan Ning, "What? She's gone again? How long has it been since she was still so troublesome!"

However, Zhong Xiaozi on the side laughed loudly, "Maybe that girl saw you running so fast and came after you!"

Mu Ziling also raised her lips and smiled when she heard this. There seemed to be a little joy in her eyes, and the previous depression seemed to be much lighter.

The night shrouded the entire nine-layered palace, but the sparks could not drive away the darkness brought by the moonless sky. The layers of palaces and the surrounding walls seemed to be suffocating.

Ye Jiaoxi landed on the top of Taichen Hall. Her figure was as slim as a goose. Her white clothes looked abrupt in the dark, but she also exuded an elegant and casual beauty. The moment she landed, she bloomed like a white lotus. She was flamboyant and unrestrained.

Fairy.

She stood on the top of Taichen Hall and watched for a while. The patrolling guards did not notice. She smiled proudly. After finding Concubine Rao's palace, she jumped on the red tiles like a swallow.

Not long after, they arrived at the top of Princess Rao's palace.

Ye Jiaoxi looked around and found that there were guards guarding the palace gate. It seemed that Princess Rao had been placed under house arrest. She opened a red tile and looked into the palace. There was only Yu Rao in the empty palace. She

He didn't fall asleep, so he sat on the couch and didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly there was a heavy weight on her shoulder, and Ye Jiaoxi was suddenly startled. She quickly stretched out her hand to attack behind her, but was caught by the wrist, "Why are you looking so fascinated, girl? You didn't even notice that I was approaching."

Only then did Ye Jiaoxi realize that the person coming was her senior brother Gu Zhanfeng. She was surprised and said: "Brother! Why are you here?"

Gu Zhanfeng didn't answer and asked: "Why are you here?"

Ye Jiaoxi's eyes flickered, and she said: "I, I heard that something happened to Princess Rao, so I came to take a look."

"Oh? When did you care so much about Concubine Rao?" Gu Zhanfeng teased, "I also heard that you stayed in the palace and refused to leave."

"Where did you hear such baseless words!" Ye Jiaoxi was slightly annoyed.

Gu Zhanfeng shrugged, "Master said it. I used to have a good time in Jiangnan, but now he has summoned me to Kyoto."

Ye Jiaoxi suddenly felt a headache. Her master had an unusually big mouth!

She asked again: "What about sister Xiangwan?"

"She's back to the prime minister's house. She said she will always be forgiven by her family."

"Ah?" Ye Jiaoxi exclaimed, "Are you not stupid? Are you willing to let her go back like this?"

Gu Zhanfeng shrugged again, "Yes, after all, the raw rice is cooked."

Ye Jiaoxi choked and moved her red lips, but finally said nothing.

At this time, a line of people walked towards the palace. Ye Jiaoxi took a closer look and saw that it was the Queen Mother. She turned away from everyone and walked into the palace alone.

Gu Zhanfeng asked suspiciously: "It's so late, what is she doing here?"

Ye Jiaoxi glanced at him and asked, "Do you know who she is?"

"Queen Mother! Don't you know me?" Gu Zhanfeng felt a little baffled.

Ye Jiaoxi smiled mysteriously, "Well, for someone like you who has never learned the art of disguise, he must have never seen Aunt Lan's real face."

Gu Zhanfeng was startled, "What did Aunt Tilan do all of a sudden? Ah...could she be..."

Ye Jiaoxi hurriedly covered Gu Zhanfeng's mouth, "Please lower your voice, why are you reacting so loudly? I'd better be calmer."

Gu Zhanfeng said in a deep voice: "Real or false?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

"Isn't that Master... Oh, poor old man!" Gu Zhanfeng shook his head and sighed.

Ye Jiaoxi looked into the palace again and saw Yu Rao kneeling in front of the Queen Mother. Although she could not hear clearly what the two of them were saying, it was not difficult to see that Yu Rao was begging for mercy.

Ye Jiaoxi asked: "Do you know why Princess Rao was placed under house arrest?"

"You don't know? Mu Ziling didn't tell you?"

Ye Jiaoxi's anger suddenly rose when she mentioned Mu Ziling. She said angrily: "I want to know what I'm doing here? Are you tired of eating and coming to see Yu Rao? You should tell me quickly! Also, why are you here?

Whatever you do, you have to recruit from the real situation!"

"She passed some news to Mu Ziling and was caught by the Queen Mother. I don't know what the news was. As for me, of course I followed my master's order and came here to investigate the news."

"Is Master helping Mu Ziling now?"

"I guess so."

Ye Jiaoxi's heart sank, "Is it because of me?"

Gu Zhanfeng shook his head and said: "It's not just you, I have caused trouble with the prime minister's house, and my junior brother has gotten into trouble with Korea. Master has no choice but to live in peace."

Ye Jiaoxi chuckled, "Maybe he was half angry, but I think the master must have been a member of the court before, otherwise how could he know Aunt Lan? He hid a lot from us."

Gu Zhanfeng nodded and said: "Maybe we have settled our grudges with the late emperor. You see, all the women you love have been robbed. I want to check it out at some point."

"Forget it," Ye Jiaoxi said, "Master doesn't want you to know, can you find out?"

"You are better than your master, do you understand? Sooner or later I will beat the master."

Ye Jiaoxi snorted softly, "You'd better find out the news about Concubine Rao first."

"Do we still need to investigate? Since the Queen Mother is Aunt Lan, why don't we just go down and ask?" After saying that, he jumped down from the roof of the palace, jumped through the window, and Ye Jiaoxi had no time to stop him.

She clicked her tongue and said, "Do you really think you can afford to offend Aunt Lan?"

Sure enough, Ye Jiaoxi saw that Gu Zhanfeng, who had just turned in, was yelled at by the Queen Mother, knelt down, and glanced at her sadly.

Just a moment later, the Queen Mother looked up at Ye Jiaoxi and said, "Hurry up and get down."
