Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

"In a dilapidated temple."

"Several people?"

"Not sure yet."

"Go investigate. Also, send a team of elite secret guards to find the imperial concubine's personal maid, Ling'er."

"Yes."

The guard took the order and left quickly.

"Eunuch Zhou, Xuan Ami is hot."

When Ami and her maid came to Suhe Hall, Li Zhao was playing chess.

"Princess, come and play with me for a while."

Without waiting for Amire to refuse, Li Zhao waved at her with a smile.

Amire was clueless about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and knew nothing about the rules of chess. Li Zhao, though knowing everything, insisted on playing against her.

Li Zhao held the black chess pieces, and Amire sat opposite him, holding the white chess pieces.

Li Zhao's slender joints held the black chess piece, his face was calm, but his chess style was fierce and domineering. Although Amire didn't understand chess, she knew that Li Zhao's chess style was fierce and she had no ability to resist.

After a while, the black pieces surrounded the white pieces in a triangle area, and the outcome was decided from the beginning.

Amire threw the chess piece and said, "Brother Emperor, you are bullying me, knowing that I can't play chess."

In this game, Li Zhao changed his usual tolerance and gentleness and almost pushed Amire into a desperate situation.

He looked at Amire and suddenly asked, "I heard that Maierdan is the best warrior in southern Xinjiang. Princess, do you know him?"

Ami's expression changed instantly, and she pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly: "Of course I know. The warrior who wins the title of the first warrior will be summoned by my father."

"Brother Emperor, why... did you mention him?"

Li Zhao smiled and said, "A few days ago, I was strolling around the Imperial Gardens when I had nothing better to do. I happened to hear that Mai Erdan and the princess were childhood sweethearts, having grown up together."

Amire's expression was so ugly that it could not be described.

"That's nonsense! Who is gossiping? If I catch him, I will definitely pull out his tongue."

Li Zhao just laughed off her harsh words.

He said, "Princess, you will soon become the Queen of our dynasty, so it is better for some people not to appear before you."

"He's in Southern Xinjiang, how could he appear... in the capital?"

Amire was not confident because she knew that Merdan not only came to the capital, but also disappeared.

She shouldered a heavy responsibility and traveled all the way to the capital to get married. How could she allow any trouble to happen before the matter was accomplished?

"That's good." Li Zhao seemed to believe her words.

Amire couldn't tell from his face whether he really believed it or was just pretending.

She could never understand Li Zhao. He was like a deep ocean, sometimes blue, sometimes clear, but with invisible darkness hidden underneath.

As soon as Amire returned to Mingyue Palace, the maid handed her a letter.

The envelope has a golden eagle wax seal.

Amire quickly opened it and saw densely written Southern Xinjiang characters saying that Maidan's subordinates had captured a palace maid and obtained a palace badge, and they were going to send someone disguised as one into the palace.

"Ah." Amy was so angry that she tore up the letter.

"Idiots, a bunch of idiots." She sent people to search the palace day and night for the past few days, but did not find any trace of Merdan.

Amihe suspected that Merdan was not in the palace at all.

However, the people of southern Xinjiang outside the palace were very sure that he had entered the palace.

Maidan was their leader. Without a leader, the people from southern Xinjiang outside the palace naturally panicked. They sent two letters a day to urge Amire to find someone.

But there has been no progress on Amire's side, and the people from southern Xinjiang outside the palace can't wait any longer, they want to go into the palace and investigate personally.

The palace was difficult to enter, so they waited for several days and finally captured a palace maid. This was their only chance.

However, Amire knew that they were seeking death by coming in. Not only that, they were also hindering her.

The emperor summoned her today to warn her not to let people from southern Xinjiang appear in the capital.

Every word Li Zhao says has a unique meaning.

All signs indicate that this is not a coincidence.

Could it be that Merdan was really captured by the emperor?

Amire's heart tightened, and he ordered, "Send a message out, tell them not to act rashly. As for that palace maid, kill her immediately."

"Yes."

In the dilapidated temple outside Beijing, the sky suddenly darkened.

Dark clouds are gathering and a rainstorm is about to hit.

After the three people from southern Xinjiang finished their conversation, they looked up at the sky and walked towards the dilapidated temple in tacit understanding.

As soon as they entered the door, one of them suddenly stopped.

The maid disappeared.

Where the person had been lying, only a black blindfold remained.

"Find quickly!"

The three of them immediately separated and searched every corner of the temple, but still found no one.

They saw panic in each other's eyes.

Kidnapping a palace maid was a risky move. If she escaped and called for help, their whereabouts would be exposed and they would most likely die.

The remains of the men of Southern Xinjiang can be left anywhere, but definitely not in the Taifeng Dynasty.

This palace maid must die!

They were sure that apart from the main entrance, the only way out was through the hole in the roof.

The roof was very high and the maid's hands were tied, so it was impossible for her to climb up.

In addition, they were very confident in the special knot-tying method of Southern Xinjiang, and there was no way she could untie the knot with her bare hands.

They were guarding the main gate, so not even a fly could get in, and they couldn't climb onto the roof, so there was only one possibility: she was still in the temple.

The people of Southern Xinjiang looked at each other and stared at the huge Bodhisattva Buddha statue in front of them.

Although the Buddha statue is dilapidated, it is intact.

This is a hollow Buddha statue, and the Bodhisattva's belly can barely accommodate one person.

At this moment, Ji Xingyao was hiding inside.

The people in southern Xinjiang did not understand Buddha statues. They did not expect that there could be a person hiding inside a Buddha statue. The three people walked around the statue several times but found nothing.

One of them gestured to smash the Buddha statue, and the other two nodded in agreement.

Bang!

Accompanied by a loud knocking sound, a flash of lightning struck the sky, and heavy rain fell to the ground, covering up the sound of horse hooves not far away.

The Buddha statue was soon soaked by the rain. Amidst the thunder and lightning, it looked at the disrespectful mortals with pity.

Bang!

The already fragile Buddha statue began to crack after being exposed to wind and rain.

Bang!

A small piece of the Buddha's body fell off.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Ji Xingyao's ears hurt from the huge roar. She curled up into a ball and prayed that the Buddha statue was of good quality and not as fragile as a fake.

However, things went against expectations and the Buddha statue fell into disrepair and became extremely fragile.

Under the persistent hammering of the people from southern Xinjiang, the belly of the Buddha statue was knocked open, and Ji Xingyao hiding inside was exposed.

“%&&&&….” Kill her.

The three men took out their daggers at the same time and jumped onto the incense table.
