Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Concubine Hui was dumbfounded. Was the dragon robe crushed?

Your Majesty's dragon robe is not made of porcelain, how could it be damaged?

There was no trace of tenderness in Emperor Qi Zhao's cold eyes from beginning to end. Concubine Hui's lips trembled, and she suddenly felt that her idea of ​​keeping His Majesty was ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." She whispered in a daze.

Emperor Qi Zhao didn't waste any more words. He entered the side hall and went straight to the nanmu carved library by the wall.

The entire library does not occupy a large area. The design of the antique shelves looks very ornamental, with some antiques and books scattered around, and a light layer of dust around them.

Emperor Qi Zhao walked around the library and noticed with his sharp eyes that there was an openwork pattern that was unusually bright, and there was not a trace of dust around the pattern.

Seeing that Emperor Qi Zhao's hand was about to press on the raised pattern, Concubine Hui's heart started pounding. She pounced on him and screamed regardless of anything.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qi Zhao dodged it with a quick move, while Concubine Hui fell to the ground in a mess, with the sound of the Shu Ge's mechanism being activated ringing in her ears.

Her whole body turned cold instantly, and she froze in place with her eyes wide open.

A staircase suddenly appeared on the ground in the corner of the wall, and a biting cold wind was blowing out of the ground.

Emperor Qi Zhao looked at the dark and chilly secret passage with a sullen face and glanced at the person next to him.

Immediately, a guard with a knife was about to go down to find out what was going on, but Concubine Hui, who was lying on the ground, seemed to have given up and screamed as she rushed towards the secret passage.

"Puchi!" The sound of a sharp blade penetrating into flesh made everyone stunned. No one expected that a short blade would fly out of the dark hole.

Concubine Hui looked down at the hilt of the knife stuck in her chest, and her face turned pale instantly.

In the blink of an eye, Emperor Qi Zhao was protected by the guards behind him, while Eunuch Fude was like a duck with its neck strangled, quacking: "Someone come! Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor! There's an assassin!"

Concubine Hui closed her eyes in despair. That damn Xiao Ze!

Emperor Qi Zhao sneered. When the time came, this woman still wanted to resist, but she didn't expect that the people in the secret passage would shoot an arrow from behind!

This sneak attack was truly insidious. In just a moment, Concubine Hui was bleeding from all seven orifices and had died, leaving her no chance of survival.

"Search!" he said coldly.

It seems that it feels good to catch a turtle in a jar.

Several dark shadows flashed into the dark passage, and soon a few flashes of swords and sabers flashed by, and a ray of light appeared in the depths of the dark passage.

Afterwards, Eunuch Fude sent people to guard the entrance of the secret passage and watched Emperor Qi Zhao step onto the stairs of the secret passage.

The guard led the way in front holding an oil lamp, while the people following behind had gloomy expressions.

Li You's skills have improved, and she hits the mark on almost every step.

After walking only two steps, the long and narrow secret passage suddenly became clear, and an icy cold air hit me in the face. The small underground palace was full of thousand-year-old ice. The cold air penetrated into the bone marrow, and the skin felt painful as if it were pricked by needles.

There was an ice coffin in the center of the underground palace, and the person inside was recognized by Emperor Qi Zhao at a glance.

Concubine An, who was once the most beloved concubine, now lies there quietly.

In front of the ice coffin, a man tied up was kneeling on the ground, and the cold air had formed a thick layer of frost on his body.

Xiao Ze! ?

Emperor Qi Zhao's face suddenly changed. He knew there was someone in the secret passage, but he didn't expect it to be General Xiao Ze!

Seeing with his own eyes that the general he personally appointed was involved with his former concubine, Emperor Qi Zhao instantly became furious and kicked him in the chest.

"Bastard!"

Xiao Ze fell to the ground and suddenly burst into laughter.

The veins on Emperor Qi Zhao's forehead were throbbing, but seeing him laughing crazily, he inexplicably calmed down.

If Mu Lingyin had not appeared, Xiao Ze would definitely not survive two breaths at this moment, but now he has the real Yin'er by his side.

He became curious about Xiao Ze's bold behavior, and the former Concubine An became less important.

"Take him away and keep him in solitary confinement." Emperor Qi Zhao shouted coldly.

He took two steps closer and took a look at the person in the ice coffin. After comparing them again, he found that Concubine An was indeed very similar to Yin'er.

No wonder he was attracted to it at first sight, and didn't want to delve into it even though he thought it was a little weird.

"Your Majesty, everyone has been dealt with."

Fude's trembling voice came from behind. The old man also came down the secret passage and was shivering with cold.

Concubine Hui secretly hid the body of a favorite concubine, and the general broke into the harem without permission. Either of these crimes would make Emperor Qi Zhao lose face.

Even if Concubine Hui died, it would not be possible to offset her guilt. The Minister of Rites had really gone all the way this time.

As for Xiao Ze, he would be even more miserable, but he was alone and had no one to rely on.

Fortunately, my Princess Liyou had long since severed all ties with him, Emperor Qi Zhao thought to himself.

The farce in the palace ended quietly.

Xiao Ze was under close observation and no one was allowed to visit him.

Emperor Qi Zhao began to investigate carefully and secretly, and the more he investigated, the more shocked he became.

Xiao Ze framed Li You, embezzled military pay, and falsified his identity.

What's more, his father was actually involved with Li You's mother, and all these matters were thoroughly investigated.

Emperor Qi Zhao looked at the words in front of him with shaking hands, his eyes turned black with anger. How could there be such shameless people in this world!

Li You's mother disappeared because of this. Otherwise, perhaps she could have found the elder who had been wandering outside.

This was the only wish my grandfather and father had before they died. Unfortunately, there has been no trace of it for so many years, which is really disheartening.

Unexpectedly, the only clue appeared so early, and then was destroyed by Xiao Ze's family.

What can be tolerated by scholars?

Mu Lanxun narrowed her eyes slightly after seeing the secret letter from Chun Geng. Emperor Qi Zhao acted swiftly and decisively, and all of Xiao Ze's dirty deeds were exposed in no time.

If Xier were here, she would definitely feel extremely relieved.

He picked up a pen and wrote down all these things in a fluent manner. The two had been separated for more than a month and had exchanged three letters.

He carried the letters with him every day, and when he was extremely tired, he would take them out and study them, and his mood would immediately become warm.

"Master, there's a letter from the princess." Yuanri's slightly cheerful voice sounded outside the door.

The next moment, the letter appeared in front of him.

Yuanri respectfully put down the letter and walked out, feeling grateful to the princess for her generosity again.

When Kang Jue and Lai Xiang appeared in front of them, exhausted, Feng Xili's eyes immediately turned red and she hugged the little girl and cried loudly.

The next day, she called Yuanri to her and said earnestly, "Yuanri, go back to Ya'an now and stay with Mumu. Kangjue has been with me since the beginning, so I'm used to it."

"Tell Mu Mu not to worry about me. I will definitely go back on time when the time comes."

Feng Xili's smiling words were still echoing in her ears. She even wrote herself a note and asked him to take it to Mu Lanxun, for fear that her master would blame her.

When he appeared in front of his master, Mu Lanxun was only surprised for a moment, then laughed. Then he called Xia Feng and asked her to rush to Feng Xili as quickly as possible.

In this way, they are surrounded by people they have been with for the longest time, and they can use them easily and conveniently.

"Miss! Miss! There's another letter!" Lai Xiang's soft voice came whistling all the way, and she almost tripped when she entered the door.

Feng Xili quickly helped her up and asked doubtfully, "Didn't you reply to the letter just two days ago?"

Why is there another letter?
