Chapter 397: Returning to the Old Residence to Get the Sword

Just as Zhao Yichen and his group were confronting Dong Cheng, Zhi Qing and Zhi Zhu also found out where King Xiaoyao was.

Prince Xiaoyao has not woken up yet and is recuperating in the Queen Mother's palace.

She said she was recuperating, but actually the Queen Mother was afraid that Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng would break into the palace and kill Prince Xiaoyao, so she had Prince Xiaoyao carried into her palace.

Of course the Queen Mother knew about what had happened recently in the palace, but she had always favored her youngest son, Prince Xiaoyao, so she turned a blind eye to what Prince Xiaoyao had done and pretended that she knew nothing.

But when King Xiaoyao was in danger, she decisively protected him, thinking that if Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng wanted to harm King Xiaoyao, then she, the queen mother, would stand in front of them.

She just didn't believe that with her around, Zhao Yichen and Zhao Yifeng would dare to kill King Xiaoyao!

When Shen Qingqian heard the news that Zhiqing and Zhizhu had found out, she curled her lips and sneered. It was a good thing that King Xiaoyao and the old witch, the Queen Mother, were together. She could just clean them up together tonight!

However, it was still early, so she planned to have a good rest and take action at midnight.

The educated youth said, "Miss, none of the better inns in the capital are open for business. Only a few small inns in the corners are open, but the conditions in those inns are extremely poor. Should we go?"

"Go!"

Shen Qingqian said, let’s take a short rest so that we can take action in the evening.

Yingzi said worriedly, "Girl, is your leg okay? Why don't you wait in the inn while Zhiqing Zhizhu and I go!"

Don't worry, the three of us have practiced our marksmanship very well, and we have so many grenades, we will definitely be able to complete the mission."

Shen Qingqian said, "My legs won't be a problem, I'll go with you. But when we moved out of the house in the capital, we left a sword there, and I want to go back and get it this time."

The sword Shen Qingqian was talking about was the one that Emperor Qiyuan awarded to Shen Qingqian on New Year's Eve.

The sword was a good sword, but Shen Qingqian was very angry about Emperor Qiyuan's behavior at the time. Thinking that she was not interested in the things given by Emperor Qiyuan, she deliberately left it in the house and did not take it away.

Now that I think about it, I was a little impulsive. The sword was given to her, so it was hers. Why wouldn't she want such a good sword?

So Shen Qingqian thought about going back to the house to see if the sword was still there. If it was, he would take it back.

Shen Qingqian guessed that it should be there, because when they passed by the house today, the plaque above the door had not been taken down, and the five big characters "Qingyi General's Mansion" were still hanging on it.

Shen Qingqian knew that Emperor Qi Yuan did not really want to drive her away, but wanted to control her and force her to submit. In Emperor Qi Yuan's view, she would give in sooner or later and go back.

Therefore, Shen Qingqian could basically conclude that the things inside should not have been touched.

Several people climbed over the wall and looked at the familiar courtyard, but the feeling was different! Once, they also regarded this place as their home, but in the end they were just passers-by here!

Shen Qingqian had thrown the sword into the study, but when they went in to look, they didn't see it.

Did she make a mistake in judgment this time?

Shen Qingqian couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.

Zhiqing said, "Miss, when we left that day, we locked up the people sent by the Queen Mother here. After we left, the Queen Mother must have sent people again. Maybe the Queen Mother's people saw the sword and took it away."

Shen Qingqian felt that this was possible. The Queen Mother was so short-sighted, what could she not do?

"Let's go to the Queen Mother's palace tonight and get the sword back!"

Shen Qingqian got angry when she thought of that old witch, the Queen Mother!

Since the task was not accomplished, Shen Qingqian planned to leave.

Yingzi said, "Girl, didn't the educated youth say that the environment of the small inn open outside is not good? Why don't we rest here? Anyway, the door outside is locked and no one knows we are here."

Shen Qingqian thought about it and felt that this was a good idea.

When they moved, they took away all the valuables that could be taken away. But they couldn't move the big items like beds, tables, chairs, benches, etc., so they were left here.

Now it seems that this is really a good place to stay temporarily. It is quiet and safe. It is definitely more comfortable than those small inns outside.

So, they made the decision happily!

Zhizhu said, "Miss, I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water and heat up the dry food we brought."

Shen Qingqian nodded, "Okay, go ahead!"

Yingzi said, "Girl, most of the things in the room I lived in before are still there. Let me help you go there and rest for a while!"

"Okay, but I don't need your help. Just give me the crutches."

Although Shen Qingqian's leg injury had healed a lot, she still couldn't stand or walk for a long time, so she brought a crutch with her.

Shen Qingqian has been using crutches when traveling these past two days, and is now very skilled in using them.

"Girl, girl!"

Just when Shen Qingqian, Yingzi and the educated youth were heading towards the room where Yingzi had lived before, Zhizhu suddenly ran towards them in a hurry.

The three of them turned around, and the educated youth asked first: "What's wrong, Zhizhu? Didn't you go to the kitchen to boil water? Why did you rush out in such a hurry? Did something happen?"

Zhizhu looked around nervously, then lowered his voice and said, "Girl, Zhiqing, Yingzi, when I went to the kitchen just now, I found that the stove was hot and there were traces of burning firewood in the stove. It should have been burned not long ago, and there is still residual heat inside.

Do you think there are people living in this yard? Or is there a ghost?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingqian, Yingzi and Zhiqing were all surprised. Zhiqing asked first: "Zhizhu, is what you said true?"

Zhizhu nodded confidently and said, "It's true! I put our dry food on the stove after I went in. My hand accidentally touched the stove and I felt a little warm.

I felt strange, so I put my hand on it to touch it, and it was really hot!

I squatted down and looked inside the stove, and I found that there were indeed signs of fire. "

It was already dark at this moment and the yard was empty. After hearing what Zhizhu said, I really felt a chill on my back, which was a bit creepy.

Several people looked at each other, unable to figure out what was going on.

Yingzi asked, "Zhizhu, did you find anything else in the kitchen? Like food?"

Zhizhu shook his head: "I didn't look carefully, I found something wrong with the stove and ran out quickly!"

Shen Qingqian said: "Let's go to the kitchen and take a look!"

Shen Qingqian knew that there were absolutely no ghosts. If there were other people living here, it was unlikely, and this yard didn't look like anyone lived there!
