Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Chapter 295 Miao Invasion

Xiao Zuochen rushed out of the stone chamber only half an hour after he entered it. Yan Luo and the guards didn't know what had happened in the stone chamber, but anyone who met Xiao Zuochen could see with their own eyes that their master was very panicked and excited.

"Someone, prepare the carriage immediately! Quick! Ahem~"

At this time, the madam had been beheaded. The jailers on the side cleaned up the execution ground and returned to the Dali Temple. They happened to meet the pimp who came to report the case. At first, the jailers didn't care and thought that they could just send a small minion to deal with the pimp. But unexpectedly, the pimp was very anxious and even opened the portrait he brought.

"My Lords, this is the portrait of our madam. Please help us find her~"

A jailer who was standing far away came over after seeing the portrait and took a closer look. This jailer was one of the jailers who drank with Yun Feng last night, and the reason he came closer was that he felt that the woman in the painting looked familiar. Where had he seen her before?

Suddenly he realized that he had never seen this old procuress before, but she looked a bit like Princess Qing! Now that the old procuress was missing, could it be...?

The jailer was shocked by his own thoughts. Ignoring the surprised looks of other jailers, he pushed aside the people on both sides and ran straight to the morgue.

The bodies of beheaded prisoners are usually taken back to the morgue, waiting for their relatives to take them away for disposal. If the prisoner has no relatives, the court will require a unified cremation, but the jailer will usually throw the prisoner's body directly into a mass grave. However, prisoners with backgrounds will be worshipped even if they become corpses, just like Baili Qing. Although the emperor ordered her to be beheaded, she is the princess of Qing after all, and the granddaughter of the imperial tutor. Naturally, these minions dare not deal with her body at will.

The jailer rushed into the morgue and found the body covered with a white cloth in a single room. There was a dead leaf next to it with the name "Bai Li Qing" written on it. The white cloth was still stained with blood. The jailer stretched out his hand tremblingly and lifted a corner of the white cloth. Then he jumped away from the spot. Although he was a jailer, he usually saw living people. He was still a little scared among a pile of dead bodies.

A corner of the white cloth was lifted, not completely revealing the face of the corpse, but if you look from the side at another angle, you can see the face - a pale face with unwilling eyes.

The jailer was so scared that he stepped back and fell to the ground, because the face was too scary. The jailer was so scared that he dared not look at the face again, so he lifted the side of the white cloth, revealing the fingers of the corpse. Because he often stared at the sleeping Baili Qing secretly, he remembered the color of her nail polish, which was light pink, but the nail polish on the fingers of the corpse was bright red. The jailer felt that he had discovered something incredible. Based on his many years of experience in the Dali Temple, this matter must be related to the latest "relative household", who must be a liar who sneaked in.

But now everyone thinks that Baili Qing was killed, and no one has discovered that she was replaced, so theoretically speaking, as long as the real Baili Qing is not recognized, this incident will have no impact on him. Even if she is discovered later, as long as time is long enough, no one can tell who caused the problem. But she must not be discovered during this period!

The jailer was a little frightened, but he still forced himself to walk over and cover the body with the white cloth.

This face is so scary now, I'm sure people close to her won't be able to tell that this is a fake without careful observation. Or maybe, this matter itself was done by the Baili family.

The jailer quickly restored the white cloth to its original state and hurried away, constantly telling himself: Just pretend this never happened!

Xiao Zuochen had already boarded the carriage, and even though he was coughing from anxiety, he still refused to listen to the advice. Chu Yao was also called to board the carriage, but looking at the heavy dark circles under Chu Yao's eyes, it was known that he was drunk again last night, but fortunately, he didn't smell of powder.

"Where are you in such a hurry to go? I was sleeping soundly, and Yunchi pulled me out of the quilt. I don't know how he could see where I was sleeping~"

Chu Yao rubbed his eyes and yawned. Although he was suddenly taken on a carriage to an unknown place, he was slowly relaxing. He was very calm about everything that had just happened or would happen in the future.

In comparison, Xiao Zuochen's face looked much uglier at this moment. Not only because he suddenly had a cough and his face was pale, but also because he was frowning and looked serious.

After Chu Yao completed a series of "little actions" on the side, he finally opened his eyes and saw Xiao Zuochen's face clearly. It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it, but when he did, he was shocked.

"Wow! What's wrong with you? Do you have makeup on your face?"

Chu Yao stretched out his hand to poke Xiao Zuochen's pale face, but he dodged it.

"Stop it, something happened, cough cough~"

When Chu Yao heard Xiao Zuochen cough, he realized why he looked so pale.

"Why...didn't you get better from your cough? Why did it come back again?"

Chu Yao looked around in the carriage, trying to find some tea to pour for him, but then he realized that this carriage was not the gorgeous carriage from Prince Yun's Mansion that he usually rode in, but an "express train" that he used to travel light whenever he needed to.

"Is that the point?"

Xiao Zuochen was angry. Chu Yao was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about what Xiao Zuochen had just said to him.

"Oh~ what happened?"

Chu Yao opened his eyes wide and tilted his head to look at Xiao Zuochen, looking like an "ignorant child".

Xiao Zuochen was about to take a deep breath to calm himself down, but he couldn't help coughing because he breathed too hard. Chu Yao quickly patted his back to relieve him.

"What on earth has made you so anxious that you don't even care about your health?"

Xiao Zuochen coughed for a long time before he stopped and adjusted his breathing before speaking.

"Yun Wei has news."

Chu Yao was shocked by the news. His mind went blank and he looked left and right, as if he wanted to ask something but didn't know where to start.

"Bai Liqing said that he was not dead at all, but was found and taken back by the border guards of Miaojiang. After he woke up, he lost his memory, and the Miaojiang people took advantage of him. This is why Yunqiao and Yunbai did not protect Xiao Zuoqing this time. Yun Wei alone could have entangled the two of them."

"But if you were looking for him, you could have sent other guards. Why did you set out first?"

Yes, besides Xiao Zuochen and Cai Chuyao, there was only Yun Lou driving the car, and no one else followed.

"Because the mission we set out on is not Yun Wei, or rather, it is not just Yun Wei."

"Huh? What is that?"

"Miaojiang is about to be invaded!"
