About half an hour later, Feng Mingye returned to the room. Seeing Murong Xi reading a book, she said with some distress, "You have been worried about Chen these past few days and did not have a good rest. If you don't have any clues, why not take a nap."
Murong Xi put down the book, called Feng Mingye to sit down, and then said, "I just asked Bei Mingxue. She doesn't know much about this step princess, but she is sure that the third prince once met this woman near Nanzhao Kingdom."
She became the successor princess and brought her back to Northern Xinjiang. Therefore, tomorrow we have to go to the palace to see the old man and ask him to take us to meet the third prince. I think the third prince can tell what happened that year. "
Feng Mingye stood up and stood next to Murong Xi, stroking Murong Xi's hair with her hands. She gently pressed Murong Xi's temples to help her relax.
"Xier, I know what you are thinking. Now that Ji Limo has arrived, I believe Bailichen will have a solution. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, otherwise it will easily backfire." Feng Mingye said gently.
said.
Murong Xi naturally understood that Feng Mingye was trying to comfort her, but Feng Mingye was right in saying that the surrender should not be rushed.
But she couldn't do anything just sit here and do nothing.
"Aye, I can't wait any longer. I want to enter the palace now." Murong Xi said.
Feng Mingye knew Murong Xi very well. If she was not allowed to enter the palace today, she would not be able to sleep well tonight. He had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Go now, I will accompany you."
That’s you.”
Murong Xi changed his clothes, and the two of them flew up and performed Qing Kung Fu. They did not enter the palace through the palace gate, but avoided the secret guards in the palace and went directly to the Imperial Study Room of the Northern Emperor.
The Emperor of Beijiang was sitting in the royal study, looking at the two people in front of him, seemingly helpless. These two people had just left not long ago, and they actually returned to the palace. What was helpless for him was that the two of them actually evaded his secret guards.
, not his Dark Night. He was a little scared when he thought of these thoughts. These two people felt that he could not afford to offend him. If they wanted to kill him, it would be easy.
"Why are you back again?" Emperor Beijiang asked after he came to his senses.
Murong Xi shrugged, then pulled Feng Mingye to sit down unceremoniously. Then he said, "Old man, we want to see the Third Prince."
Emperor Beijiang did not expect that Murong Xi wanted to see the third child and actually asked for his opinion. Is there any place in the palace that these two people cannot go to?
"Huh, if I don't agree, why don't you go?" The Northern Emperor snorted softly.
"It seems a bit impolite to meet your son without your consent. After all, this is your territory, too, isn't it?" Murong Xi said with a smile.
Emperor Beijiang knew that this girl seemed to be in a bad mood and seemed a little upset. He said, "If you are in a bad mood, don't force your smile. She will be locked up in the underground palace. You and Aye can go."
Of course he was curious about why this girl was so anxious to find the third child, but he knew that if this girl didn't want to tell him, she wouldn't ask even if he asked. It was better not to ask.
Feng Mingye blinked and said, "Don't you need to give us a sign? If we go in, do you want us to kill all the secret guards?"
Emperor Beijiang almost vomited out his old blood, and went to find the secret guards who wanted to kill him. However, thinking about it, the secret guards did not know who they were, and if they broke into the underground palace, they would definitely protect it with all their lives, and with Murong
With Xi and Feng Mingye's skills, those secret guards might not survive.
In fact, Murong Xi didn't want to kill them. She always carried some poison with her for easy use. Even if she didn't have a token, she could just sprinkle some powder on the secret guards and let them have a good sleep. In other people's homes,
The territory still needs to be kept low-key, and no matter what, it needs to give the Northern Emperor some face.
After regaining consciousness, Murong Xi secretly glanced at the Northern Emperor.
The Northern Emperor coughed lightly, took out a token and threw it to Murong Xi. Murong Xi immediately caught it and said, "Before leaving Northern Xinjiang, I will return the token to you."
Emperor Beijiang did not continue this topic and just asked, "Xue'er, is she okay?"
Murong Xi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't worry, her poison has been cured long ago. Didn't I tell you this morning that I only kept her here to take care of Bai Lichen."
The Northern Emperor shrugged and let them out. Eunuch Qu was startled at the door. When did these two people come in? It's fine if he didn't know. Why didn't the secret guards notice? He rubbed his eyes.
, making sure that he was not dazzled, he took advantage of the two people just leaving, and entered the imperial study without the consent of the Northern Emperor. As a result, he found that the secret guard was kneeling on the floor in the imperial study. He probably did not notice Pluto.
The couple appeared to apologize.
"Your Majesty, I just saw Pluto and his wife walking out of the royal study. Are you okay?" Eunuch Qu asked cautiously.
The Northern Emperor shook his head, and then said, "The two of them are not looking for trouble for me. You all get up, you are not their opponent. They deliberately avoided the hidden guards, but even if you noticed their arrival
, there is nothing you can do.”
The secret guard was so ashamed that he did not dare to get up, and kept kneeling there waiting for the order from the Northern Emperor.
"Okay, everyone, get up and go do whatever you need to do." The Northern Emperor waved his hand and said a little tiredly.
After the secret guards responded, they all returned to their positions.
Seeing the tired look of Emperor Beijiang, Eunuch Qu asked with some distress, "Your Majesty, would you like to go back to the palace to rest for a while? You have stayed in the imperial study for too long."
"Forget it, let's go back to the palace." The Northern Emperor said.
Eunuch Qu quickly led the way back to the palace. His Majesty, who was resting on the couch, said to Eunuch Qu, "Go to the East Palace and tell Fei'er that Xue'er is very good."
Eunuch Qu responded and hurried to the East Palace.
"Your Highness Changsun, Your Majesty asked the old slave to tell you that Princess Xue is fine now." Eunuch Qu said in a low voice.
Bei Mingfei nodded. Although Grandpa Huang had just told him that Xue'er was fine now, he was still a little worried. But Grandpa Huang specially arranged for Eunuch Qu to come over and tell him the news, so he knew that it was Grandpa Huang who should be the one to confirm it.
Xueer is really doing well now.
"Thank you, Eunuch Qu, for taking good care of Grandpa Huang for me. Grandpa Huang worked so hard," Bei Mingfei said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. This old slave will definitely not be able to handle important matters, but I will naturally do my best to take care of Your Majesty." Eunuch Qu said.
In this way, Feng Mingye and Murong Xi took the tokens and went to the rockery in the Royal Garden. After opening the secret passage of the underground palace, they jumped in.
Sure enough, as Murong Xi expected, after jumping in, thirty-four secret guards appeared at the door of the underground palace.
Murong Xi took out the token and threw it to the secret guard. After looking at the token, the secret guard hurriedly returned the token to Murong Xi, then made a gesture, and dozens of people disappeared in front of Murong Xi in an instant.
Murong Xi looked at the token and then put it into her arms with satisfaction. The Northern Emperor gave her something useful, otherwise it would have been a waste of powder to deal with so many secret guards.
Walking inside, there was no change in the underground palace from the last time they came, but the palace looked much deserted. After passing the palace and walking towards the inner room, because of the departure of the masked man, the formation also disappeared. So, very soon
I could clearly see the Third Prince sitting on the couch drinking tea.
Murong Xi raised his eyebrows. Is this imprisonment? It looks more like a vacation.
The third prince put down his tea cup and was very surprised to see that the people coming were Murong Xi and Feng Mingye. Especially when he found that Murong Xi appeared unscathed beside Feng Mingye, he shuddered unconsciously.
Murong Xi was brought back by Hades, so Bei Mingxue's plan failed? So, Bei Mingxue has been captured by them now? But his father locked him up here, how could the two of them know about it. Strange
Yes, where are the secret guards guarding the underground palace? Even if they fight, there should be no sound at all.
"Seeing that Xi'er is fine, why is the prince so nervous?" Feng Mingye said coldly.
The third prince was a shrewd man, so he replied, "Since you two can come in, you must already know what happened at the beginning, so why bother questioning me? Besides, I am no longer a prince, and the prisoner here is a sinner."
Murong Xi was anxious to ask him about the step princess, and was not in the mood to argue with him, so she said directly, "Third Prince, I have something to ask you, and I hope you can answer it truthfully."
Naturally, the third prince didn't know what Murong Xi wanted to ask, so he raised his head and looked at Murong Xi's eyes carefully. In fact, when he first saw Murong Xi walking in, he didn't want to stare at Murong Xi. After all, Murong Xi
She was so beautiful. However, because of Feng Mingye's pressure, he had to look away.
Murong Xi did not give the Third Prince time to react, and asked hurriedly, "I wonder if the Third Prince still remembers where he brought back the step princess?"
The third prince was startled and looked at Murong Xi in confusion. He thought Murong Xi was here to question him about Bei Mingxue and his plan to assassinate Bei Mingfei and trick her into being kidnapped under the pretext of saving Bei Mingfei.
It really surprised him to suddenly ask where he had brought back the step princess.
"Step princess?" the third prince asked.
"Otherwise?" Murong Xi said with a frown as he had no patience.
"Aren't you here to ask me why I plotted against you and Pluto with Xue'er?" Sanwa asked in confusion.
Murong Xi rolled her eyes at him, and then said, "Now is not the time to pursue your case. I just want to ask you how you met the step princess. I heard that she is not from Northern Xinjiang, but you brought her from outside.
.So, I want to know where you met her and brought her back?"
"It turned out to be for the princess. However, my father promised me to let the princess go first. After all, she is pregnant with a child. It will not be too late to deal with her after the child is born." The third prince said.
In fact, if it were in the past, the third prince would definitely ask the Northern Emperor to let the step princess go, but after he found out about the step princess framed by the step princess, he would naturally feel a little guilty for his three children. Of course, the person he felt most sorry for was his first wife, the princess.
.
"Humph, you feel sorry for the child in her belly. Have you ever thought that while you were locked up here, your child would be killed by her?" Murong Xi said with a sneer.
"What did you say? Is it Xue'er?" the third prince asked. First of all, his eldest son was always smart and rarely returned home. The second son usually closed himself in his own yard, and the only person outside was Beiming.
Xue is alone, so if the step princess takes action, she will definitely deal with Bei Mingxue.
"Now I'm smarter. After Bei Mingxue was scared to death by you, she didn't lose her memory at all. She just didn't dare to tell you the truth. That step princess of yours is really powerful, because the child in her belly couldn't survive the birth.
, so you framed the princess. You doted on the step princess and kicked the child out of the princess's belly without asking. The step princess was worried that her affairs would be exposed, so she naturally attacked Bei Mingxue.
.However, she has received retribution." Murong Xi narrowed his eyes and said.
