Chapter 26 The second task: restaurant ♀ restaurant ♀
crime? "
Wang Xizhao said sharply, his eyes were cold, and he glanced at Yan Shuangqing who was hovering at the door, his tone became a little softer, "Concubine Yan Xian, take a seat."
Yan Shuangqing hurriedly sat next to Liu Qingse - no way, the second concubine Xiande was next to each other.She glanced at Xiao Xiyue worriedly, but saw Xiao Xiyue's face was cold, expressionless, and frank.
"The concubine is innocent." Xiao Xiyue glanced at Wang Xizhao lightly, "I don't know what kind of moths the Empress is planning to frame the concubine this time?"
"Framed?" Wang Xizhao seemed a little amused, "Who are you, why did I frame you?"
☆. The third task: Witch ♀ Gu ♀ (3)
Xiao Xiyue didn't want to say much, she pursed her lips tightly, let the concubines whisper in surprise, lowered her head slightly, and glanced at Yan Shuangqing as if inadvertently, Yan Shuangqing's heart trembled when she saw it.
She understood, what was said in those eyes: Only you can save me.
Before Yan Shuangqing could figure it out, Wang Xizhao whispered something to the shadow guard beside him, and the shadow guard pulled up a palace maid in pink shirt, she shivered shiveringly, as soon as she walked up to Xiao Xiyue Next to him, he knelt down and kowtowed, "Concubine Shu, forgive me, Concubine Shu, forgive me! This servant didn't intend to betray you! It's just that what you did was so rebellious that this servant had no choice but to do it!"
Yan Shuangqing's heart sank, isn't this a usual trick in costume dramas?The vicious queen wanted to frame the concubine, and bribed the concubine's maid to give false testimony, proving that the concubine tried to use witchcraft to frame the queen...
Could Wang Xizhao be that kind of person?
Xiao Xiyue was still as calm as ever, even though she was bound, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, her tone was calm, "Oh? Tell me, what did I do?"
Yan Shuangqing recognized that the maid was the maid next to Xiao Xiyue, and she had seen her in Xiao Xiyue's palace when they went to the restaurant together earlier.Could it be that Wang Xizhao actually bribed her?No... don't speculate, things are not clear yet...
The palace maid lay on the ground, crying loudly, while crying, she shouted, "You, you are trying to murder the empress with witchcraft! This servant felt ashamed to help you hide this secret, so she told the empress Empress!"
As she said that, the shadow guard beside her dropped a wooden box on the ground, inside was a small figure made of wood, with a small piece of paper pasted on it, densely inserted with needles, and used on the little figure's back. The pen writes "Wang Xizhao" in big characters.
Wang Xizhao sternly said: "The fact is so, you still want to deny it?"
All the concubines in the house were in an uproar, and they got up and knelt down at the same time. Yan Shuangqing was a little too late to react, and was pulled by Liu Qingse beside her, and fell on the ground in a daze.
"If you want to add a crime, why bother?"
Yan Shuangqing's head hit the ground heavily, and she couldn't help rubbing it painfully. She looked at Liu Qingse next to her rather puzzled, but saw that she seemed to be a different person, her head was lowered, her eyes were calm, It was as if Yan Shuangqing hadn't been pulled.
This is not the top priority... What did Xiao Xiyue just say?Yan Shuangqing didn't hear clearly, she just heard her say again, "If the queen thinks that the concubine has done this, she can be taken into custody. It's just that the concubine will not plead guilty for things that have not been done."
Wang Xizhao didn't seem to want to argue with her, so he just glanced over, and the shadow guard behind Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly, took Xiao Xiyue's arm, and walked towards the gate of the palace.
Yan Shuangqing raised her head quietly, and saw them walking to the right after leaving the door. Is that... the direction of the water prison?She was startled suddenly, wanted to say something to Wang Xizhao, but almost said it out loud, considering that the concubines were all here, so it was hard to reveal anything.
"It's nothing else to call you here today." Wang Xizhao's voice was still cold, "According to the law of this dynasty, Concubine Xiao Shu's crime——should be beheaded."
Hearing a sound of panting, Liu Qingse hesitated for a moment, and then knelt down, just where Xiao Xiyue was standing, "Empress, please don't investigate for a while, how can you convict Concubine Xiao Shu to death with just a few words? Isn't it too hasty? If you are wronged..."
"Concubine De." Wang Xizhao said calmly, "Be careful."
Liu Qingse was abruptly interrupted, her face was a little embarrassed and terrified, so she stopped talking, just knelt on the spot, silent and humble, as if she would not get up if Wang Xizhao disagreed.
After this stalemate for two sticks of incense, Wang Xizhao did not speak, and everyone kept their mouths tightly shut, for fear of offending the angry queen.Yan Shuangqing's knees were a little sore and her neck was a little tired. When she looked up again, she found that Wang Xizhao was glancing at her from the corner of her eye. The fear in her heart was greater than the shyness she should have been.
Is today really seeing the resolute side of the queen?Could it be that the gentleness that was shown from time to time belonged to me?This kind of Wang Xizhao made Yan Shuangqing feel a little strange, and she was secretly strange in her heart.
Could it be that Xiao Xiyue really tried to use witchcraft in vain...
No, it's impossible.Yan Shuangqing quickly vetoed this conjecture. Xiao Xiyue could understand that it was just nonsense if she knew the past and present.
Wait, since she can know the past and the present, why didn't she expect what happened today?
Confused feelings lingered in her heart, Yan Shuangqing felt that this matter was not so simple, seeing that Liu Qingse had been lying there for a long time, it was unbelievable to be so stalemate, so she gritted her teeth, stood up, bowed and said: "Liu De The concubine must have just been unconscious for a while and has no other intentions, so please don't blame the empress. Since I have seen Concubine Xiao Shu taken into custody, I dare to ask, can all sisters go back to the palace?"
Take a gamble, bet that Wang Xizhao will not punish her.
really.
Wang Xizhao raised his eyebrows, and said, "Just as you said. Everyone, please go back. Concubine Yan Xian—stay and talk to me for a while."
The concubines gradually stood up, Liu Qingse shook her skirt, gave Yan Shuangqing a rather complicated look, and when she passed by her side, said, "You..."
Yan Shuangqing interrupted her, "Did you pretend before?"
Liu Qingse's cheeks were slightly red, "Yes."
Really superb acting skills...
After everyone left, the shadow guard disappeared immediately, and only Wang Xizhao and Yan Shuangqing were left in the hall looking at each other, slightly embarrassed.Yan Shuangqing scratched her head, "Empress Empress..."
"Ok?"
Unfortunately, this tone sounded a little angry, Yan Shuangqing put on a flattering smile, "Sister Xizhao..." It's shameful to be cute!
"Ah."
Sure enough, his tone suddenly improved.
"What do you want to ask?" Wang Xizhao tilted his head slightly, "Is it about just now?"

☆. The third task: Witch ♀ Gu ♀ (4)
Yan Shuangqing nodded, "Yes."
Wang Xizhao was slightly surprised: "I thought it was very clear."
Yan Shuangqing frowned, "Could it be that the empress didn't realize the doubts? How could Xiao Xiyue be so stupid, and she was doing sorcery in her own palace with great fanfare, and it just so happened that her personal maid came to report it... Isn't there anything strange about it?"
"I don't know what you said?" Wang Xizhao said indifferently, the expression on his face was already the same, but suddenly he was a little displeased, "I just need a chance to clean up Xiao Xiyue."
Yan Shuangqing's heart turned cold, it was really the queen who did it!Such a blunt admission, it is obvious that the concubines had guessed a little bit earlier, and they were so panicked just now.Biting his lip, Fang Shi opened his mouth in a trembling voice, "Queen, you..."
Wang Xizhao looked into her eyes and understood immediately, "You think I did it?"
Yan Shuangqing didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.
Wang Xizhao frowned, "Why should I do such a framing thing?"
"The queen...has been at odds with Concubine Xiao Shu for a long time," Yan Shuangqing thought for a while, although it would be unwise to reveal her thoughts at this time, but there is no other way, she still trusts Wang Xizhao, It's really not like that kind of unscrupulous person, "If I'm not wrong, you and the emperor once said, the empress, that you want to deal with Concubine Xiao Shu."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I was shocked to realize that I had slipped my tongue. Wang Xizhao said that she wanted to clean up Xiao Xiyue because she saw the clip through the system, not with her own eyes!
Sure enough, Wang Xizhao was full of doubts, "How do you know that I told the emperor?"
Yan Shuangqing was dumbfounded, rolled her eyes a few times, and said, "Didn't I hear that time in the Imperial Garden..." She didn't hear any valuable news that time, but she took a gamble, betting that Wang Xizhao and Qiang Shengrui mentioned it.
Wang Xizhao narrowed his eyes, "So what?"
Yan Shuangqing simply said boldly, "Are you... did you bribe the maid to frame Xiao Xiyue?"
There was a moment of silence, and then he shouted angrily, "Presumptuous!"
[[Wang Xizhao] Favorability for you - 10000!Now it is -8980! 】
The room was quiet and there was no sound. Yan Shuangqing stared at the words in front of her, and froze in place. Her eyes turned red for no reason, her lips were flattened, a little aggrieved, and she looked like a wounded bunny, looking at Wang Xizhao's chest rising and falling. , obviously the lingering anger was still there, so he whispered, "I overstepped."
As soon as he opened his mouth, tears fell, and he couldn't stop sobbing, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't guess casually, but I was too confused, so I just..." Yan Shuangqing cried on her own, out of breath Out of breath.
After crying for a long time, just when she calmed down, she heard a helpless voice beside her ear saying, "That's all, I'm afraid of you."
Yan Shuangqing raised her head, wiped her eyes, her mouth was still pouted, her little face was flushed with water marks.Wang Xizhao had already sat beside her at some point, with some rare confusion in his eyes, he coughed lightly.
[[Wang Xizhao] Favorability towards you +10000!Now for 1020! 】
Yan Shuangqing said slowly, "I... I'm sorry, I shouldn't speculate." She wiped her eyes again, "But what's going on with this matter?"
Wang Xizhao pondered, "It's strange to say at this time. Although I intend to get rid of Xiao Xiyue, I don't want to go through this way, but plan to meet her Xiao family in the court... Today the maid came to report to me, I I thought it was the emperor's arrangement, but now that I think about it, the emperor disapproved of this matter, so he wouldn't..."
"Who wants to use your hands to get rid of Xiao Xiyue?" Yan Shuangqing guessed, "Could it be..." Yan Shuangqing didn't continue, looking at Wang Xizhao, the two thought of a name by coincidence.
Liu Qingse.
"Her intercession today doesn't seem fake." Wang Xizhao frowned, "But it's also possible. Xiao Xiyue is not that stupid for such a low-level method. Obviously it was done by someone related to her, otherwise she would not be so stupid. You can't hide it from her."
Yan Shuangqing nodded, "Exactly."
Falling into silence again, Wang Xizhao pursed his lips and said, "Go back first, I will make my own decision on this matter."
"Since Xiao Xiyue must not have done it, can... let her go?" Yan Shuangqing asked cautiously, "After all, she..."
"There is no negotiation." Wang Xizhao's lips were cold, "You should know."
Seeing that Wang Xizhao's tone became more and more unfriendly, Yan Shuangqing had no choice but to shut her mouth, stood up silently, and asked to resign.
On the way back to the palace, just as he was thinking about this, he bumped into a green figure inadvertently, it was Liu Qingse who had just suspected it.
Yan Shuangqing rubbed her forehead, "Ah, Concubine De..."
"Concubine Xiao Shu, you must be saved." Such an inexplicable sentence suddenly appeared, Yan Shuangqing couldn't help but look at Liu Qingse, only to see her continue, "Whether it's robbery or begging for mercy, you must be saved!"
"Concubine De's words, I don't understand," Yan Shuangqing pretended to be confused, "Concubine Xiao Shu committed a capital crime, how can we interfere?"
Liu Qingse seemed a little anxious after hearing this, "Don't you just have the heart to watch her die?"
"Of course not..." Yan Shuangqing mumbled, "I used to rely on Concubine Shu in many places, but now I am naturally anxious."
Liu Qingse looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, she whispered, "What if I have a way to send you to meet her?"
Yan Shuangqing's mouth widened, "What? Isn't she imprisoned?"
Liu Qingse said, "Even if you are in prison, you will be treated differently. One of the dignified four concubines, no one dares to bully Xiao Xiyue before the emperor's will. Don't worry, I won't let you break into the prison by force. Whatever happens, I will guarantee it."
Yan Shuangqing was a little confused now, and said, "I have no power in Northern Qiang, how can I save her?"
"Let me tell you the truth, Xiao Xiyue's resourcefulness is really unfathomable." Liu Qingse firmly said, "As long as you can ask her for a while, there will be a solution."
Yan Shuangqing was shaken, "This way..."
Liu Qingse smiled miserably, "My usual appearance is not all fake. When I first came here, Xiao Xiyue told me that I had better pretend to be crazy, otherwise I would be regarded as a thorn in the side of the queen, and I would never feel better about it. Then Xiao Xiyue told me I took a medicine that said it would make it easier for me to pretend. She was taken away today, so she forgot to give it to me."
"Isn't it a good thing for you?" Yan Shuangqing frowned, "Don't be subject to drugs."
Liu Qingse said lightly, "The medicine is a chronic poison. As long as I don't take it for five days, I will die of exhaustion. Therefore, if Xiao Xiyue is still in prison after five days, I will die of poison."
Yan Shuangqing was startled secretly, "Could Xiao Xiyue lie to you? Why did she do this?"
Liu Qingse said, "One day, I deliberately didn't go to her to get the medicine, and in the afternoon, I was paralyzed in the hall and couldn't move, feeling uncomfortable all over. After asking someone about it, I found out about the medicine..."
"No solution?"
"There is an antidote, but it is also at Xiao Xiyue's place. Her palace is under martial law now, even if I want to go in and get it."
"Why did you come to me to rescue her together?"
Liu Qingse said, "I thought about using this to force Xiao Xiyue to hand over the antidote, but she is not someone who can be threatened by me. If she destroys the antidote in a fit of anger, it will be bad for me. She sent me the antidote." A letter, you are mentioned in the letter." As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Shuangqing.
Yan Shuangqing unfolded.
"This matter is strange and the situation is critical. Try to bring Concubine Yan Xian to see me. Xiao Xiyue."
The concise content, the font is a bit scribbled and messy, but it still does not conceal the strength of the writing.
Yan Shuangqing thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Okay, when will you take me to see her?"
"Tomorrow night." Liu Qingse seemed to expect that she would agree after reading this letter, "I will come to your palace to find you tomorrow night."
"it is good."
The author has something to say: In fact, it can be seen from here that Yan Shuangqing has already entered the set.
1. Ye Jinhuan is called acting palm, but in fact, he has already controlled the restaurant in his own hands, which means that Yan Shuangqing has nothing to gain.
2. (This point has already been mentioned in the text that Yan Shuangqing thought of it) Xiao Xiyue herself claimed that she could see through the past and present, so why didn't she foresee the disaster of today?
3. (That is Yan Shuangqing's question) Xiao Xiyue has a lot of contacts, what can Yan Shuangqing, a concubine princess, do for her?
☆. The third task: Witch ♀ Gu ♀ (5)
Being disturbed by Liu Qingse, Yan Shuangqing also lost interest in admiring the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden, and hurried back to the palace with her skirt.
The system was still bouncing happily, and Yan Shuangqing was a little annoyed, "Why did you get so few prompts after the third mission? You don't show up very often, and you don't even provide various values."
"Host, don't vent your anger on the system." K10 was serious, even a little serious, "The system itself is the existence of supporting the host. Now I see that the host's work has gradually matured, and the role of the system is naturally not that great, so I reduced it. Hint and number of occurrences."
Yan Shuangqing rubbed her head irritably, "Now that Xiao Xiyue has been arrested, I... If I help her, or don't help her, will it have any impact on the future?"
"Well, of course you will." K10 smiled, "You think, you already know who the main attack target is?"
"Empress and Concubine Shu." Yan Shuangqing blurted out, then she was a little surprised, "Ah...have I already identified them in my own subconscious? The Empress is nothing more than that, I originally regarded Concubine Shu as the target of the raid! "
"Hmm," K10 nodded, "The host doesn't want to be in two boats, does he?"
"Of course not." Yan Shuangqing shook her head, "I must... choose one of them."
"Who does the host want to choose?"
Yan Shuangqing hesitated, "Queen."
The powerful Queen Wang Xizhao has attracted my attention since the first time I saw her.It's a lie to say that you don't like it, it's probably just a little shy.Compared with Wang Xizhao, Xiao Xiyue is more of a friend to Yan Shuangqing who can send charcoal in times of difficulty.
"Host, I can't say too much, I can only tell you that your choice this time may affect the life and death of a certain person. The ending...it won't change."
"Aren't you talking nonsense... If I don't save Xiao Xiyue, she will definitely die just relying on Liu Qingse!" As soon as the words came out, Yan Shuangqing also felt wrong, "Xiao Xiyue's family has a great career, even if I don't To save her, her family members should also think of a way. Then this life and death refers to Wang Xizhao?"
"I didn't say that." The system shook awkwardly, "Don't think too much, just do whatever you want, follow your own heart. Ask yourself, is it important to protect yourself, or... a clear conscience?"
Yan Shuangqing felt a little guilty, "I, I have already paid her back the money... I don't owe her any favors..." As she spoke, she felt a little guilty, "Okay, I'll save her..."
"Don't change your mind just because of what the system says," the system emphasized. "This will affect the ending, so you should think about it."
Yan Shuangqing was silent for a long time, and then said firmly, "I will save her. Although I don't know the truth of this matter, I will save Xiao Xiyue no matter what. She is still looking forward to me in prison!"
The system was also quiet for a while, and then said, "Host, I'm neither right nor wrong about your decision. In life, if you are afraid to do anything, you will achieve nothing. When you have helped If your people ask for you, if you ignore them indifferently and refuse to save them, what's the point?"
[Congratulations to the host for triggering the side mission! 】

[Task Reward: Xiao Xiyue Favorability +2000]
Yan Shuangqing clicked to accept.So——here I come, Concubine Shu.
Due to Concubine Xiao Shu's matter, the queen also suspended paying respects - although Wang Xizhao himself didn't care about whether to pay respects or not.Yan Shuangqing sat in her palace for a whole day, and in the blink of an eye it was the next afternoon.
As night approached, Yan Shuangqing's heart was beating happily.
At about the same time, Yan Shuangqing was already very alert when she heard a rustling sound coming from the window. Hearing the sound, she raised her eyes, but saw a finger poking through the paper on the window, and slightly hooked her.
Yan Shuangqing rushed out the door, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Liu Qingse changed into night clothes and even put on a veil.
"Go back and change clothes." Liu Qingse frowned, "It's night now, you are wearing light-colored clothes, it's too conspicuous, are you afraid you won't be seen?"
Yan Shuangqing felt right after thinking about it, and was about to lift her foot to go back, but inexplicably thought of the prompt in the system "Don't follow Liu Qingse blindly". Go, don't waste time."
Liu Qingse obviously didn't understand, but she didn't say anything.
When they reached the water prison, the two stopped.Teams of guards at the gate patrolled back and forth, guarded tightly, so far, it seems that there is almost no way to take advantage of it.
Liu Qingse gritted her teeth bitterly, "The queen is really ruthless... arrange so many people to guard her, huh."
Yan Shuangqing sighed, "Since Xiao Xiyue has a way to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to deliver a letter there, we must have a way to get in, right?"
Liu Qingse regained her composure for a while, "Yeah. I got the letter from the back door before, let's go and see if there is anyone guarding it."
"It turns out that you haven't made a plan for so long... If you knew it earlier, you might as well have let me do it..." Yan Shuangqing blushed. Before, she thought that Liu Qingse should be smarter now, but now she really doesn't, "Lead the way."
"I'm not very sane yet," Liu Qingse said in a deep voice, "Please bear with me."
Yan Shuangqing couldn't help but glance at her, who are you bluffing!
The author has something to say: 23333 wishes everyone a happy new year...
☆. The third task: Witch ♀ Gu ♀ (6)
The two came to the back door at a speed almost like a tortoise. It was because the guards were too tight. Yan Shuangqing vaguely recognized a few people, they were the Queen's shadow guards, and she had seen them once or twice.
Walking through the grass in a very embarrassing situation, Yan Shuangqing's hair was covered with a few grasses, and he patted it carelessly.
Liu Qingse asked softly, "Do those people look familiar?"
Yan Shuangqing asked, "Which people?"
Liu Qingse pointed lightly at the two guarding the main entrance, "I look familiar, are they the queen's shadow guard?"
Yan Shuangqing also recognized that they were the two people she had just discovered. After thinking about it, she decided to answer ambiguously, "Maybe, I don't know."
Liu Qingse wondered, "This is a bit difficult... What kind of enmity does the empress have with Concubine Shu? Even her own shadow guards are sent to watch her!"
Yan Shuangqing rolled her eyes, "Isn't the enmity between the two of them obvious? One is the general's daughter, and the other is the prime minister's daughter. Let alone my family's tit-for-tat in the court, it is very disharmonious in the harem, otherwise the queen will Why do you want to get rid of it and hurry up?"
Although the sky has gradually darkened, you can still vaguely see that the back door is opened a crack, and it seems that there is still a "squeak" sound in the wind, and there is a faint light inside.
Yan Shuangqing said, "Shall we go in?" She shook her head again, "No, didn't you go in and get the letter? Tell me how many guards are inside and whether they are strict or not."
Liu Qingse thought for a while, "There are five or six jailers on duty outside the cell. Last time I tentatively entered from here. After Xiao Xiyue found me, he thought of a way to send the jailers away."
Could it be that the jailer belongs to Xiao Xiyue?Yan Shuangqing frowned, this is not surprising, after all, the two of them were fighting against each other in court, and Wang Xizhao couldn't have seized a wrong place and imprisoned her with full power. Xiao Xiyue was able to be arrested because of the crime of witchcraft .
Yan Shuangqing said, "In that case, let's go. You lead the way."
Following behind Liu Qingse, the two crawled into the back door, and when they passed by that door, it let out another "squeak", which shocked Yan Shuangqing.
Inside the cell, there was something strange, not at all full of blood and violence as Yan Shuangqing had imagined, but rather like a dormitory of a wealthy family.
After entering through the back door, more than ten meters away, you can see a cage-like thing, which divides an area, with beds, desks, and even brand new bedding.
There was no one outside Xiao Xiyue's cage, obviously she was pushed away by her, and she had been waiting for the two of them for a long time.
"Ah Qing, you are here."
Even though she knew that Xiao Xiyue would not suffer in it, Yan Shuangqing was still taken aback. Her originally smooth face was now tainted with a few strands of haggardness.The cheeks are slightly sunken, and the broken hair hangs by the ears.
So far in despair, she is still amorous.
After a brief moment of daze, Yan Shuangqing couldn't help taking a few steps closer, Xiao Xiyue said with a smile: "Come here, I have something to tell you. Concubine De, please wait outside."
The tone of the last sentence carried some orders, Liu Qingse really obediently exited the cell, and went back to the door, only Yan Shuangqing stepped forward to the opposite of Xiao Xiyue.
Across a layer of cages, the distance is obviously very close, but it seems to be thousands of miles away.
Yan Shuangqing sat on the ground, the chair in the cage - or the stool is very short, Xiao Xiyue sat on it, just like sitting on the ground.
Before Xiao Xiyue could speak first, Yan Shuangqing asked the question in her heart, "Why did Ah Yue come to me? It's not that I don't want to help you, but that I, as a consort princess, have no influence in Northern Qiang. I'm afraid It can't help."
"Because I trust you." Xiao Xiyue was still smiling, "I am Bei Qiang Shu Concubine, who is equal to the Empress in normal times, she will never easily put me to death."
"then you……?"
"The charge this time is witchcraft."
Xiao Xiyue signaled Yan Shuangqing not to speak, and said calmly, "Look, once she is accused of witchcraft, she can easily put me in prison. Now I am still alive, but because the emperor has been busy with military affairs recently and has no time Just deal with it. Once the emperor starts to deal with it in a few days, I will die."
"My father..." She sighed quietly, "There is nothing he can do, he can't reach the palace, he can't help me, and he is also under house arrest by the Queen's father, the Great General Zhen Guo Yes. She arrested me that day, so I was caught off guard and unable to notify the Xiao family's party members. Now... I am alone and helpless. "
Yan Shuangqing was startled secretly, "I, what can I do for you?"
"I thought about it, and there are probably two feasible ways. One, ask Ah Qing to help me steal the queen's token; the other...it's a bit difficult," Xiao Xiyue raised her eyes, "the one who testified against me that day That maid is someone the Queen puts beside me, and I know some details about her, and she uses some tricks, so I probably have a way to get her to tell the truth."
"Isn't it more difficult to steal the token?" Yan Shuangqing asked, "If it's a maid, I can still give it a try. But the queen is very skilled in martial arts, and the shadow guards around her are elusive, how can I steal the token?"
"I know where her tokens are. One is on her, one is on her father's, and one is on..."
Before Xiao Xiyue finished speaking, she heard a scream outside, which was somewhat familiar, like Liu Qingse's voice.Yan Shuangqing hurriedly stood up, completely at a loss.
"Liu Qingse has probably been arrested, and the shadow guards are the best at arresting in the dark." Xiao Xiyue's face showed some haste and worry, her beautiful eyes widened a little, "Quick! Go!"
This was the first time that Yan Shuangqing saw Xiao Xiyue's hasty gaffe, but her reaction was quick, and she quickly slipped out of the door, looked back at Xiao Xiyue, and then hurried back to the grass before.
Crawling back to the side of the main entrance along the grass, Yan Shuangqing poked her head out quietly, and saw the two shadow guards in front of the main entrance holding Liu Qingse's arms in their hands. She struggled and screamed, and the shadow guards Hold on tighter.
I'm sorry, Liu Qingse.Yan Shuangqing said silently in her heart, you have died so badly, this time I really can't save you, if I can rescue Xiao Xiyue safely, she will definitely save you, don't blame me.
The author has something to say: Classmate Bai Lianhua is so easily taken by the dog =-= This case tells us not to play to death, and not to trust Bai Lianhua! ! !
☆. The third task: Witch ♀ Gu ♀ (7)
Presumably Liu Qingse failed to alert Wang Xizhao to come here in person, another shadow guard came, and after discussing with the previous few, they grabbed Liu Qingse and walked towards the queen's palace.
Yan Shuangqing was shocked in her heart, and she tightly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound. The shadow guard afterward seemed to glance at the bushes where Yan Shuangqing was hiding. Yan Shuangqing was not quite sure that he saw her. No.
Probably not?Otherwise he will come and arrest people.
After several people took Liu Qingse away, the guards continued to patrol back and forth. Yan Shuangqing's legs were a little numb, but she didn't dare to act rashly. After all, Liu Qingse had just been captured, and she would definitely not relax her vigilance in a short time.
Slightly raising her head to look at the already dark sky, Yan Shuangqing estimated the time, it was about Xu time, that is to say, it had been an hour since she came out.
Oops!Yan Shuangqing's heart was full of alarm bells. When she faced Wang Xizhao before, she seemed to have accidentally revealed that she wanted to defend Xiao Xiyue. I don't know if she would doubt herself?Will you be... disappointed?
Wait... I was actually worried about whether Wang Xizhao would be disappointed in me, shouldn't I be worried about whether my life will be saved or not!
Watching the guards patrolling back and forth slowed down slightly, Yan Shuangqing seized the opportunity and slipped out of the grass, still in shock, and didn't care whether it would attract attention, and hurried back to her palace. middle.
As soon as he entered the door, Yan Shuangqing's legs were a little limp, holding the door, gasping for breath.The world I have seen is too small, and I always have some palpitations.
"The host is back." K10 said hesitantly, "Any gains?"
"Don't mention it." Yan Shuangqing shook her head, expressing that she didn't want to talk anymore, ignoring the system's angry yelling, she ran towards the long-lost time-stagnant space.
Sitting at the table, the hand holding the pen trembled a little.When I wrote the pen last time, I never imagined that I would be involved in matters related to human life.
Hold the wrist of your right hand with your left hand, trying to calm yourself down.
[Task number] 03
【Mission Objective】Rescue Xiao Xiyue
【Task data collection】None
【Task Analysis】
1. What Xiao Xiyue said in prison must be useful.
2. She said two methods: steal the token and start with the maid.I haven't finished talking about the location of the token, but I'm sure I can't steal it, just start with the maid.
【mission plan】
Yan Shuangqing thought for a moment, and wrote these words anyway.
The first step: Find Prime Minister Xiao.
Yan Shuangqing also knew some of Xiao Xiyue's background before, she is as powerful as Wang Xizhao, if Wang Xizhao's aunt is not Qiang Shengrui's first queen, it is not sure who is the queen now.
But now Wang Xizhao took the preemptive action and caught Xiao's family off guard, cutting off Xiao Xiyue's connection with the outside of the palace, so Prime Minister Xiao naturally had no way of knowing Xiao Xiyue's situation.
Can I be the person who connects them?
This is the only way to do it, Yan Shuangqing thought, she couldn't do it by herself if she wanted to investigate the maid's life experience, so she had to ask Prime Minister Xiao to come forward.
After thinking, Yan Shuangqing went out of the space and lay down on the bed with her clothes on.
Although Ye Jinhuan said before that he didn't pay Yan Shuangqing a penny, he still asked someone to bring the money after that.Knowing that she had tricked her, Yan Shuangqing couldn't laugh or cry, so she had no choice but to let Ye Jinhuan go.
In the early morning of the next day, Yan Shuangqing took some loose silver and some bank notes by the way—Ye Jinhuan kindly helped her change the bank notes, which was convenient to carry.
He took out a cloak-style dress from the closet. The hat was so big that it could cover Yan Shuangqing's entire face. It seemed a bit nondescript in this era, but he didn't care about anything else.
Yan Shuangqing took a special path, which was a secret path in the palace, so as not to let other people see her weird attire.
But still have to go out from the palace gate.It was still early now, and there were only two or three guards here and there. Seeing her dressed like this, she felt a little strange. She rubbed her eyes and wanted to step forward to question her.
Yan Shuangqing took out her concubine token from her bosom, waved it in front of their eyes, the guards looked at each other, and hurriedly saluted, "I have seen the concubine Xian."
"Excuse me." Yan Shuangqing saw that although they saluted, they didn't intend to let them go, so she frowned, and scratched her clenched palms with her nails fiercely, emboldening herself, "I'm here The Queen's order to leave the palace."
The guard was shy, with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude, and said, "Do you have the token of the Empress? If not, please don't embarrass the slaves, only the emperor, empress and... Now Concubine Shu can't do it. Only the empress can do it." Leave the palace anytime."
Yan Shuangqing was neither angry nor annoyed, "Don't you know that the Queen's token is only three yuan? One is in her hand, one is in General Wang's hand, and the other—" Yan Shuangqing deliberately didn't say anything, just Because she didn't know it herself, she gambled that the last piece was in an unknown place, "Do you think she would give it away easily?"
Several guards exchanged glances with each other, whispered a few words, and finally let Yan Shuangqing go.
When Yan Shuangqing walked out of the palace gate, her legs were weak and she was sweating all over.
Wang Xizhao said sharply, his eyes were cold, and he glanced at Yan Shuangqing who was hovering at the door, his tone became a little softer, "Concubine Yan Xian, take a seat."
Yan Shuangqing hurriedly sat next to Liu Qingse - no way, the second concubine Xiande was next to each other.She glanced at Xiao Xiyue worriedly, but saw Xiao Xiyue's face was cold, expressionless, and frank.
"The concubine is innocent." Xiao Xiyue glanced at Wang Xizhao lightly, "I don't know what kind of moths the Empress is planning to frame the concubine this time?"
"Framed?" Wang Xizhao seemed a little amused, "Who are you, why did I frame you?"
☆. The third task: Witch ♀ Gu ♀ (3)
Xiao Xiyue didn't want to say much, she pursed her lips tightly, let the concubines whisper in surprise, lowered her head slightly, and glanced at Yan Shuangqing as if inadvertently, Yan Shuangqing's heart trembled when she saw it.
She understood, what was said in those eyes: Only you can save me.
Before Yan Shuangqing could figure it out, Wang Xizhao whispered something to the shadow guard beside him, and the shadow guard pulled up a palace maid in pink shirt, she shivered shiveringly, as soon as she walked up to Xiao Xiyue Next to him, he knelt down and kowtowed, "Concubine Shu, forgive me, Concubine Shu, forgive me! This servant didn't intend to betray you! It's just that what you did was so rebellious that this servant had no choice but to do it!"
Yan Shuangqing's heart sank, isn't this a usual trick in costume dramas?The vicious queen wanted to frame the concubine, and bribed the concubine's maid to give false testimony, proving that the concubine tried to use witchcraft to frame the queen...
Could Wang Xizhao be that kind of person?
Xiao Xiyue was still as calm as ever, even though she was bound, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, her tone was calm, "Oh? Tell me, what did I do?"
Yan Shuangqing recognized that the maid was the maid next to Xiao Xiyue, and she had seen her in Xiao Xiyue's palace when they went to the restaurant together earlier.Could it be that Wang Xizhao actually bribed her?No... don't speculate, things are not clear yet...
The palace maid lay on the ground, crying loudly, while crying, she shouted, "You, you are trying to murder the empress with witchcraft! This servant felt ashamed to help you hide this secret, so she told the empress Empress!"
As she said that, the shadow guard beside her dropped a wooden box on the ground, inside was a small figure made of wood, with a small piece of paper pasted on it, densely inserted with needles, and used on the little figure's back. The pen writes "Wang Xizhao" in big characters.
Wang Xizhao sternly said: "The fact is so, you still want to deny it?"
All the concubines in the house were in an uproar, and they got up and knelt down at the same time. Yan Shuangqing was a little too late to react, and was pulled by Liu Qingse beside her, and fell on the ground in a daze.
"If you want to add a crime, why bother?"
Yan Shuangqing's head hit the ground heavily, and she couldn't help rubbing it painfully. She looked at Liu Qingse next to her rather puzzled, but saw that she seemed to be a different person, her head was lowered, her eyes were calm, It was as if Yan Shuangqing hadn't been pulled.
This is not the top priority... What did Xiao Xiyue just say?Yan Shuangqing didn't hear clearly, she just heard her say again, "If the queen thinks that the concubine has done this, she can be taken into custody. It's just that the concubine will not plead guilty for things that have not been done."
Wang Xizhao didn't seem to want to argue with her, so he just glanced over, and the shadow guard behind Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly, took Xiao Xiyue's arm, and walked towards the gate of the palace.
Yan Shuangqing raised her head quietly, and saw them walking to the right after leaving the door. Is that... the direction of the water prison?She was startled suddenly, wanted to say something to Wang Xizhao, but almost said it out loud, considering that the concubines were all here, so it was hard to reveal anything.
"It's nothing else to call you here today." Wang Xizhao's voice was still cold, "According to the law of this dynasty, Concubine Xiao Shu's crime——should be beheaded."
Hearing a sound of panting, Liu Qingse hesitated for a moment, and then knelt down, just where Xiao Xiyue was standing, "Empress, please don't investigate for a while, how can you convict Concubine Xiao Shu to death with just a few words? Isn't it too hasty? If you are wronged..."
"Concubine De." Wang Xizhao said calmly, "Be careful."
Liu Qingse was abruptly interrupted, her face was a little embarrassed and terrified, so she stopped talking, just knelt on the spot, silent and humble, as if she would not get up if Wang Xizhao disagreed.
After this stalemate for two sticks of incense, Wang Xizhao did not speak, and everyone kept their mouths tightly shut, for fear of offending the angry queen.Yan Shuangqing's knees were a little sore and her neck was a little tired. When she looked up again, she found that Wang Xizhao was glancing at her from the corner of her eye. The fear in her heart was greater than the shyness she should have been.
Is today really seeing the resolute side of the queen?Could it be that the gentleness that was shown from time to time belonged to me?This kind of Wang Xizhao made Yan Shuangqing feel a little strange, and she was secretly strange in her heart.
Could it be that Xiao Xiyue really tried to use witchcraft in vain...
No, it's impossible.Yan Shuangqing quickly vetoed this conjecture. Xiao Xiyue could understand that it was just nonsense if she knew the past and present.
Wait, since she can know the past and the present, why didn't she expect what happened today?
Confused feelings lingered in her heart, Yan Shuangqing felt that this matter was not so simple, seeing that Liu Qingse had been lying there for a long time, it was unbelievable to be so stalemate, so she gritted her teeth, stood up, bowed and said: "Liu De The concubine must have just been unconscious for a while and has no other intentions, so please don't blame the empress. Since I have seen Concubine Xiao Shu taken into custody, I dare to ask, can all sisters go back to the palace?"
Take a gamble, bet that Wang Xizhao will not punish her.
really.
Wang Xizhao raised his eyebrows, and said, "Just as you said. Everyone, please go back. Concubine Yan Xian—stay and talk to me for a while."
The concubines gradually stood up, Liu Qingse shook her skirt, gave Yan Shuangqing a rather complicated look, and when she passed by her side, said, "You..."
Yan Shuangqing interrupted her, "Did you pretend before?"
Liu Qingse's cheeks were slightly red, "Yes."
Really superb acting skills...
After everyone left, the shadow guard disappeared immediately, and only Wang Xizhao and Yan Shuangqing were left in the hall looking at each other, slightly embarrassed.Yan Shuangqing scratched her head, "Empress Empress..."
"Ok?"
Unfortunately, this tone sounded a little angry, Yan Shuangqing put on a flattering smile, "Sister Xizhao..." It's shameful to be cute!
"Ah."
Sure enough, his tone suddenly improved.
"What do you want to ask?" Wang Xizhao tilted his head slightly, "Is it about just now?"
The author has something to say: 23333
☆. The third task: Witch ♀ Gu ♀ (4)
Yan Shuangqing nodded, "Yes."
Wang Xizhao was slightly surprised: "I thought it was very clear."
Yan Shuangqing frowned, "Could it be that the empress didn't realize the doubts? How could Xiao Xiyue be so stupid, and she was doing sorcery in her own palace with great fanfare, and it just so happened that her personal maid came to report it... Isn't there anything strange about it?"
"I don't know what you said?" Wang Xizhao said indifferently, the expression on his face was already the same, but suddenly he was a little displeased, "I just need a chance to clean up Xiao Xiyue."
Yan Shuangqing's heart turned cold, it was really the queen who did it!Such a blunt admission, it is obvious that the concubines had guessed a little bit earlier, and they were so panicked just now.Biting his lip, Fang Shi opened his mouth in a trembling voice, "Queen, you..."
Wang Xizhao looked into her eyes and understood immediately, "You think I did it?"
Yan Shuangqing didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.
Wang Xizhao frowned, "Why should I do such a framing thing?"
"The queen...has been at odds with Concubine Xiao Shu for a long time," Yan Shuangqing thought for a while, although it would be unwise to reveal her thoughts at this time, but there is no other way, she still trusts Wang Xizhao, It's really not like that kind of unscrupulous person, "If I'm not wrong, you and the emperor once said, the empress, that you want to deal with Concubine Xiao Shu."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I was shocked to realize that I had slipped my tongue. Wang Xizhao said that she wanted to clean up Xiao Xiyue because she saw the clip through the system, not with her own eyes!
Sure enough, Wang Xizhao was full of doubts, "How do you know that I told the emperor?"
Yan Shuangqing was dumbfounded, rolled her eyes a few times, and said, "Didn't I hear that time in the Imperial Garden..." She didn't hear any valuable news that time, but she took a gamble, betting that Wang Xizhao and Qiang Shengrui mentioned it.
Wang Xizhao narrowed his eyes, "So what?"
Yan Shuangqing simply said boldly, "Are you... did you bribe the maid to frame Xiao Xiyue?"
There was a moment of silence, and then he shouted angrily, "Presumptuous!"
[[Wang Xizhao] Favorability for you - 10000!Now it is -8980! 】
The room was quiet and there was no sound. Yan Shuangqing stared at the words in front of her, and froze in place. Her eyes turned red for no reason, her lips were flattened, a little aggrieved, and she looked like a wounded bunny, looking at Wang Xizhao's chest rising and falling. , obviously the lingering anger was still there, so he whispered, "I overstepped."
As soon as he opened his mouth, tears fell, and he couldn't stop sobbing, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't guess casually, but I was too confused, so I just..." Yan Shuangqing cried on her own, out of breath Out of breath.
After crying for a long time, just when she calmed down, she heard a helpless voice beside her ear saying, "That's all, I'm afraid of you."
Yan Shuangqing raised her head, wiped her eyes, her mouth was still pouted, her little face was flushed with water marks.Wang Xizhao had already sat beside her at some point, with some rare confusion in his eyes, he coughed lightly.
[[Wang Xizhao] Favorability towards you +10000!Now for 1020! 】
Yan Shuangqing said slowly, "I... I'm sorry, I shouldn't speculate." She wiped her eyes again, "But what's going on with this matter?"
Wang Xizhao pondered, "It's strange to say at this time. Although I intend to get rid of Xiao Xiyue, I don't want to go through this way, but plan to meet her Xiao family in the court... Today the maid came to report to me, I I thought it was the emperor's arrangement, but now that I think about it, the emperor disapproved of this matter, so he wouldn't..."
"Who wants to use your hands to get rid of Xiao Xiyue?" Yan Shuangqing guessed, "Could it be..." Yan Shuangqing didn't continue, looking at Wang Xizhao, the two thought of a name by coincidence.
Liu Qingse.
"Her intercession today doesn't seem fake." Wang Xizhao frowned, "But it's also possible. Xiao Xiyue is not that stupid for such a low-level method. Obviously it was done by someone related to her, otherwise she would not be so stupid. You can't hide it from her."
Yan Shuangqing nodded, "Exactly."
Falling into silence again, Wang Xizhao pursed his lips and said, "Go back first, I will make my own decision on this matter."
"Since Xiao Xiyue must not have done it, can... let her go?" Yan Shuangqing asked cautiously, "After all, she..."
"There is no negotiation." Wang Xizhao's lips were cold, "You should know."
Seeing that Wang Xizhao's tone became more and more unfriendly, Yan Shuangqing had no choice but to shut her mouth, stood up silently, and asked to resign.
On the way back to the palace, just as he was thinking about this, he bumped into a green figure inadvertently, it was Liu Qingse who had just suspected it.
Yan Shuangqing rubbed her forehead, "Ah, Concubine De..."
"Concubine Xiao Shu, you must be saved." Such an inexplicable sentence suddenly appeared, Yan Shuangqing couldn't help but look at Liu Qingse, only to see her continue, "Whether it's robbery or begging for mercy, you must be saved!"
"Concubine De's words, I don't understand," Yan Shuangqing pretended to be confused, "Concubine Xiao Shu committed a capital crime, how can we interfere?"
Liu Qingse seemed a little anxious after hearing this, "Don't you just have the heart to watch her die?"
"Of course not..." Yan Shuangqing mumbled, "I used to rely on Concubine Shu in many places, but now I am naturally anxious."
Liu Qingse looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, she whispered, "What if I have a way to send you to meet her?"
Yan Shuangqing's mouth widened, "What? Isn't she imprisoned?"
Liu Qingse said, "Even if you are in prison, you will be treated differently. One of the dignified four concubines, no one dares to bully Xiao Xiyue before the emperor's will. Don't worry, I won't let you break into the prison by force. Whatever happens, I will guarantee it."
Yan Shuangqing was a little confused now, and said, "I have no power in Northern Qiang, how can I save her?"
"Let me tell you the truth, Xiao Xiyue's resourcefulness is really unfathomable." Liu Qingse firmly said, "As long as you can ask her for a while, there will be a solution."
Yan Shuangqing was shaken, "This way..."
Liu Qingse smiled miserably, "My usual appearance is not all fake. When I first came here, Xiao Xiyue told me that I had better pretend to be crazy, otherwise I would be regarded as a thorn in the side of the queen, and I would never feel better about it. Then Xiao Xiyue told me I took a medicine that said it would make it easier for me to pretend. She was taken away today, so she forgot to give it to me."
"Isn't it a good thing for you?" Yan Shuangqing frowned, "Don't be subject to drugs."
Liu Qingse said lightly, "The medicine is a chronic poison. As long as I don't take it for five days, I will die of exhaustion. Therefore, if Xiao Xiyue is still in prison after five days, I will die of poison."
Yan Shuangqing was startled secretly, "Could Xiao Xiyue lie to you? Why did she do this?"
Liu Qingse said, "One day, I deliberately didn't go to her to get the medicine, and in the afternoon, I was paralyzed in the hall and couldn't move, feeling uncomfortable all over. After asking someone about it, I found out about the medicine..."
"No solution?"
"There is an antidote, but it is also at Xiao Xiyue's place. Her palace is under martial law now, even if I want to go in and get it."
"Why did you come to me to rescue her together?"
Liu Qingse said, "I thought about using this to force Xiao Xiyue to hand over the antidote, but she is not someone who can be threatened by me. If she destroys the antidote in a fit of anger, it will be bad for me. She sent me the antidote." A letter, you are mentioned in the letter." As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Shuangqing.
Yan Shuangqing unfolded.
"This matter is strange and the situation is critical. Try to bring Concubine Yan Xian to see me. Xiao Xiyue."
The concise content, the font is a bit scribbled and messy, but it still does not conceal the strength of the writing.
Yan Shuangqing thought for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Okay, when will you take me to see her?"
"Tomorrow night." Liu Qingse seemed to expect that she would agree after reading this letter, "I will come to your palace to find you tomorrow night."
"it is good."
The author has something to say: In fact, it can be seen from here that Yan Shuangqing has already entered the set.
1. Ye Jinhuan is called acting palm, but in fact, he has already controlled the restaurant in his own hands, which means that Yan Shuangqing has nothing to gain.
2. (This point has already been mentioned in the text that Yan Shuangqing thought of it) Xiao Xiyue herself claimed that she could see through the past and present, so why didn't she foresee the disaster of today?
3. (That is Yan Shuangqing's question) Xiao Xiyue has a lot of contacts, what can Yan Shuangqing, a concubine princess, do for her?
☆. The third task: Witch ♀ Gu ♀ (5)
Being disturbed by Liu Qingse, Yan Shuangqing also lost interest in admiring the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden, and hurried back to the palace with her skirt.
The system was still bouncing happily, and Yan Shuangqing was a little annoyed, "Why did you get so few prompts after the third mission? You don't show up very often, and you don't even provide various values."
"Host, don't vent your anger on the system." K10 was serious, even a little serious, "The system itself is the existence of supporting the host. Now I see that the host's work has gradually matured, and the role of the system is naturally not that great, so I reduced it. Hint and number of occurrences."
Yan Shuangqing rubbed her head irritably, "Now that Xiao Xiyue has been arrested, I... If I help her, or don't help her, will it have any impact on the future?"
"Well, of course you will." K10 smiled, "You think, you already know who the main attack target is?"
"Empress and Concubine Shu." Yan Shuangqing blurted out, then she was a little surprised, "Ah...have I already identified them in my own subconscious? The Empress is nothing more than that, I originally regarded Concubine Shu as the target of the raid! "
"Hmm," K10 nodded, "The host doesn't want to be in two boats, does he?"
"Of course not." Yan Shuangqing shook her head, "I must... choose one of them."
"Who does the host want to choose?"
Yan Shuangqing hesitated, "Queen."
The powerful Queen Wang Xizhao has attracted my attention since the first time I saw her.It's a lie to say that you don't like it, it's probably just a little shy.Compared with Wang Xizhao, Xiao Xiyue is more of a friend to Yan Shuangqing who can send charcoal in times of difficulty.
"Host, I can't say too much, I can only tell you that your choice this time may affect the life and death of a certain person. The ending...it won't change."
"Aren't you talking nonsense... If I don't save Xiao Xiyue, she will definitely die just relying on Liu Qingse!" As soon as the words came out, Yan Shuangqing also felt wrong, "Xiao Xiyue's family has a great career, even if I don't To save her, her family members should also think of a way. Then this life and death refers to Wang Xizhao?"
"I didn't say that." The system shook awkwardly, "Don't think too much, just do whatever you want, follow your own heart. Ask yourself, is it important to protect yourself, or... a clear conscience?"
Yan Shuangqing felt a little guilty, "I, I have already paid her back the money... I don't owe her any favors..." As she spoke, she felt a little guilty, "Okay, I'll save her..."
"Don't change your mind just because of what the system says," the system emphasized. "This will affect the ending, so you should think about it."
Yan Shuangqing was silent for a long time, and then said firmly, "I will save her. Although I don't know the truth of this matter, I will save Xiao Xiyue no matter what. She is still looking forward to me in prison!"
The system was also quiet for a while, and then said, "Host, I'm neither right nor wrong about your decision. In life, if you are afraid to do anything, you will achieve nothing. When you have helped If your people ask for you, if you ignore them indifferently and refuse to save them, what's the point?"

Yan Shuangqing clicked to accept.So——here I come, Concubine Shu.
Due to Concubine Xiao Shu's matter, the queen also suspended paying respects - although Wang Xizhao himself didn't care about whether to pay respects or not.Yan Shuangqing sat in her palace for a whole day, and in the blink of an eye it was the next afternoon.
As night approached, Yan Shuangqing's heart was beating happily.
At about the same time, Yan Shuangqing was already very alert when she heard a rustling sound coming from the window. Hearing the sound, she raised her eyes, but saw a finger poking through the paper on the window, and slightly hooked her.
Yan Shuangqing rushed out the door, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Liu Qingse changed into night clothes and even put on a veil.
"Go back and change clothes." Liu Qingse frowned, "It's night now, you are wearing light-colored clothes, it's too conspicuous, are you afraid you won't be seen?"
Yan Shuangqing felt right after thinking about it, and was about to lift her foot to go back, but inexplicably thought of the prompt in the system "Don't follow Liu Qingse blindly". Go, don't waste time."
Liu Qingse obviously didn't understand, but she didn't say anything.
When they reached the water prison, the two stopped.Teams of guards at the gate patrolled back and forth, guarded tightly, so far, it seems that there is almost no way to take advantage of it.
Liu Qingse gritted her teeth bitterly, "The queen is really ruthless... arrange so many people to guard her, huh."
Yan Shuangqing sighed, "Since Xiao Xiyue has a way to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to deliver a letter there, we must have a way to get in, right?"
Liu Qingse regained her composure for a while, "Yeah. I got the letter from the back door before, let's go and see if there is anyone guarding it."
"It turns out that you haven't made a plan for so long... If you knew it earlier, you might as well have let me do it..." Yan Shuangqing blushed. Before, she thought that Liu Qingse should be smarter now, but now she really doesn't, "Lead the way."
"I'm not very sane yet," Liu Qingse said in a deep voice, "Please bear with me."
Yan Shuangqing couldn't help but glance at her, who are you bluffing!
The author has something to say: 23333 wishes everyone a happy new year...
☆. The third task: Witch ♀ Gu ♀ (6)
The two came to the back door at a speed almost like a tortoise. It was because the guards were too tight. Yan Shuangqing vaguely recognized a few people, they were the Queen's shadow guards, and she had seen them once or twice.
Walking through the grass in a very embarrassing situation, Yan Shuangqing's hair was covered with a few grasses, and he patted it carelessly.
Liu Qingse asked softly, "Do those people look familiar?"
Yan Shuangqing asked, "Which people?"
Liu Qingse pointed lightly at the two guarding the main entrance, "I look familiar, are they the queen's shadow guard?"
Yan Shuangqing also recognized that they were the two people she had just discovered. After thinking about it, she decided to answer ambiguously, "Maybe, I don't know."
Liu Qingse wondered, "This is a bit difficult... What kind of enmity does the empress have with Concubine Shu? Even her own shadow guards are sent to watch her!"
Yan Shuangqing rolled her eyes, "Isn't the enmity between the two of them obvious? One is the general's daughter, and the other is the prime minister's daughter. Let alone my family's tit-for-tat in the court, it is very disharmonious in the harem, otherwise the queen will Why do you want to get rid of it and hurry up?"
Although the sky has gradually darkened, you can still vaguely see that the back door is opened a crack, and it seems that there is still a "squeak" sound in the wind, and there is a faint light inside.
Yan Shuangqing said, "Shall we go in?" She shook her head again, "No, didn't you go in and get the letter? Tell me how many guards are inside and whether they are strict or not."
Liu Qingse thought for a while, "There are five or six jailers on duty outside the cell. Last time I tentatively entered from here. After Xiao Xiyue found me, he thought of a way to send the jailers away."
Could it be that the jailer belongs to Xiao Xiyue?Yan Shuangqing frowned, this is not surprising, after all, the two of them were fighting against each other in court, and Wang Xizhao couldn't have seized a wrong place and imprisoned her with full power. Xiao Xiyue was able to be arrested because of the crime of witchcraft .
Yan Shuangqing said, "In that case, let's go. You lead the way."
Following behind Liu Qingse, the two crawled into the back door, and when they passed by that door, it let out another "squeak", which shocked Yan Shuangqing.
Inside the cell, there was something strange, not at all full of blood and violence as Yan Shuangqing had imagined, but rather like a dormitory of a wealthy family.
After entering through the back door, more than ten meters away, you can see a cage-like thing, which divides an area, with beds, desks, and even brand new bedding.
There was no one outside Xiao Xiyue's cage, obviously she was pushed away by her, and she had been waiting for the two of them for a long time.
"Ah Qing, you are here."
Even though she knew that Xiao Xiyue would not suffer in it, Yan Shuangqing was still taken aback. Her originally smooth face was now tainted with a few strands of haggardness.The cheeks are slightly sunken, and the broken hair hangs by the ears.
So far in despair, she is still amorous.
After a brief moment of daze, Yan Shuangqing couldn't help taking a few steps closer, Xiao Xiyue said with a smile: "Come here, I have something to tell you. Concubine De, please wait outside."
The tone of the last sentence carried some orders, Liu Qingse really obediently exited the cell, and went back to the door, only Yan Shuangqing stepped forward to the opposite of Xiao Xiyue.
Across a layer of cages, the distance is obviously very close, but it seems to be thousands of miles away.
Yan Shuangqing sat on the ground, the chair in the cage - or the stool is very short, Xiao Xiyue sat on it, just like sitting on the ground.
Before Xiao Xiyue could speak first, Yan Shuangqing asked the question in her heart, "Why did Ah Yue come to me? It's not that I don't want to help you, but that I, as a consort princess, have no influence in Northern Qiang. I'm afraid It can't help."
"Because I trust you." Xiao Xiyue was still smiling, "I am Bei Qiang Shu Concubine, who is equal to the Empress in normal times, she will never easily put me to death."
"then you……?"
"The charge this time is witchcraft."
Xiao Xiyue signaled Yan Shuangqing not to speak, and said calmly, "Look, once she is accused of witchcraft, she can easily put me in prison. Now I am still alive, but because the emperor has been busy with military affairs recently and has no time Just deal with it. Once the emperor starts to deal with it in a few days, I will die."
"My father..." She sighed quietly, "There is nothing he can do, he can't reach the palace, he can't help me, and he is also under house arrest by the Queen's father, the Great General Zhen Guo Yes. She arrested me that day, so I was caught off guard and unable to notify the Xiao family's party members. Now... I am alone and helpless. "
Yan Shuangqing was startled secretly, "I, what can I do for you?"
"I thought about it, and there are probably two feasible ways. One, ask Ah Qing to help me steal the queen's token; the other...it's a bit difficult," Xiao Xiyue raised her eyes, "the one who testified against me that day That maid is someone the Queen puts beside me, and I know some details about her, and she uses some tricks, so I probably have a way to get her to tell the truth."
"Isn't it more difficult to steal the token?" Yan Shuangqing asked, "If it's a maid, I can still give it a try. But the queen is very skilled in martial arts, and the shadow guards around her are elusive, how can I steal the token?"
"I know where her tokens are. One is on her, one is on her father's, and one is on..."
Before Xiao Xiyue finished speaking, she heard a scream outside, which was somewhat familiar, like Liu Qingse's voice.Yan Shuangqing hurriedly stood up, completely at a loss.
"Liu Qingse has probably been arrested, and the shadow guards are the best at arresting in the dark." Xiao Xiyue's face showed some haste and worry, her beautiful eyes widened a little, "Quick! Go!"
This was the first time that Yan Shuangqing saw Xiao Xiyue's hasty gaffe, but her reaction was quick, and she quickly slipped out of the door, looked back at Xiao Xiyue, and then hurried back to the grass before.
Crawling back to the side of the main entrance along the grass, Yan Shuangqing poked her head out quietly, and saw the two shadow guards in front of the main entrance holding Liu Qingse's arms in their hands. She struggled and screamed, and the shadow guards Hold on tighter.
I'm sorry, Liu Qingse.Yan Shuangqing said silently in her heart, you have died so badly, this time I really can't save you, if I can rescue Xiao Xiyue safely, she will definitely save you, don't blame me.
The author has something to say: Classmate Bai Lianhua is so easily taken by the dog =-= This case tells us not to play to death, and not to trust Bai Lianhua! ! !
☆. The third task: Witch ♀ Gu ♀ (7)
Presumably Liu Qingse failed to alert Wang Xizhao to come here in person, another shadow guard came, and after discussing with the previous few, they grabbed Liu Qingse and walked towards the queen's palace.
Yan Shuangqing was shocked in her heart, and she tightly covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound. The shadow guard afterward seemed to glance at the bushes where Yan Shuangqing was hiding. Yan Shuangqing was not quite sure that he saw her. No.
Probably not?Otherwise he will come and arrest people.
After several people took Liu Qingse away, the guards continued to patrol back and forth. Yan Shuangqing's legs were a little numb, but she didn't dare to act rashly. After all, Liu Qingse had just been captured, and she would definitely not relax her vigilance in a short time.
Slightly raising her head to look at the already dark sky, Yan Shuangqing estimated the time, it was about Xu time, that is to say, it had been an hour since she came out.
Oops!Yan Shuangqing's heart was full of alarm bells. When she faced Wang Xizhao before, she seemed to have accidentally revealed that she wanted to defend Xiao Xiyue. I don't know if she would doubt herself?Will you be... disappointed?
Wait... I was actually worried about whether Wang Xizhao would be disappointed in me, shouldn't I be worried about whether my life will be saved or not!
Watching the guards patrolling back and forth slowed down slightly, Yan Shuangqing seized the opportunity and slipped out of the grass, still in shock, and didn't care whether it would attract attention, and hurried back to her palace. middle.
As soon as he entered the door, Yan Shuangqing's legs were a little limp, holding the door, gasping for breath.The world I have seen is too small, and I always have some palpitations.
"The host is back." K10 said hesitantly, "Any gains?"
"Don't mention it." Yan Shuangqing shook her head, expressing that she didn't want to talk anymore, ignoring the system's angry yelling, she ran towards the long-lost time-stagnant space.
Sitting at the table, the hand holding the pen trembled a little.When I wrote the pen last time, I never imagined that I would be involved in matters related to human life.
Hold the wrist of your right hand with your left hand, trying to calm yourself down.
[Task number] 03
【Mission Objective】Rescue Xiao Xiyue
【Task data collection】None
【Task Analysis】
1. What Xiao Xiyue said in prison must be useful.
2. She said two methods: steal the token and start with the maid.I haven't finished talking about the location of the token, but I'm sure I can't steal it, just start with the maid.
【mission plan】
Yan Shuangqing thought for a moment, and wrote these words anyway.
The first step: Find Prime Minister Xiao.
Yan Shuangqing also knew some of Xiao Xiyue's background before, she is as powerful as Wang Xizhao, if Wang Xizhao's aunt is not Qiang Shengrui's first queen, it is not sure who is the queen now.
But now Wang Xizhao took the preemptive action and caught Xiao's family off guard, cutting off Xiao Xiyue's connection with the outside of the palace, so Prime Minister Xiao naturally had no way of knowing Xiao Xiyue's situation.
Can I be the person who connects them?
This is the only way to do it, Yan Shuangqing thought, she couldn't do it by herself if she wanted to investigate the maid's life experience, so she had to ask Prime Minister Xiao to come forward.
After thinking, Yan Shuangqing went out of the space and lay down on the bed with her clothes on.
Although Ye Jinhuan said before that he didn't pay Yan Shuangqing a penny, he still asked someone to bring the money after that.Knowing that she had tricked her, Yan Shuangqing couldn't laugh or cry, so she had no choice but to let Ye Jinhuan go.
In the early morning of the next day, Yan Shuangqing took some loose silver and some bank notes by the way—Ye Jinhuan kindly helped her change the bank notes, which was convenient to carry.
He took out a cloak-style dress from the closet. The hat was so big that it could cover Yan Shuangqing's entire face. It seemed a bit nondescript in this era, but he didn't care about anything else.
Yan Shuangqing took a special path, which was a secret path in the palace, so as not to let other people see her weird attire.
But still have to go out from the palace gate.It was still early now, and there were only two or three guards here and there. Seeing her dressed like this, she felt a little strange. She rubbed her eyes and wanted to step forward to question her.
Yan Shuangqing took out her concubine token from her bosom, waved it in front of their eyes, the guards looked at each other, and hurriedly saluted, "I have seen the concubine Xian."
"Excuse me." Yan Shuangqing saw that although they saluted, they didn't intend to let them go, so she frowned, and scratched her clenched palms with her nails fiercely, emboldening herself, "I'm here The Queen's order to leave the palace."
The guard was shy, with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude, and said, "Do you have the token of the Empress? If not, please don't embarrass the slaves, only the emperor, empress and... Now Concubine Shu can't do it. Only the empress can do it." Leave the palace anytime."
Yan Shuangqing was neither angry nor annoyed, "Don't you know that the Queen's token is only three yuan? One is in her hand, one is in General Wang's hand, and the other—" Yan Shuangqing deliberately didn't say anything, just Because she didn't know it herself, she gambled that the last piece was in an unknown place, "Do you think she would give it away easily?"
Several guards exchanged glances with each other, whispered a few words, and finally let Yan Shuangqing go.
When Yan Shuangqing walked out of the palace gate, her legs were weak and she was sweating all over.
