It's noon, the sun is blazing, the insects are chirping, which makes people restless. The weeping willows by the lake are swaying energetically with the heat wave, and the koi in the pond have also taken shelter in the shade. This season makes people unhappy. In the huge palace, except for the patrolling guards, not even a palace maid or eunuch could be seen. However, Shui Lianyue took advantage of it.
As long as you avoid the patrolling guards, returning to Jingxuexuan is a piece of cake.
The heat wave swept through, and Shui Lianyue hid among the rockeries. The black night clothes looked particularly blinking in the daytime, and the black color absorbed heat. She only felt that she was sweating profusely, and the clothes were sticking tightly to her flesh, which was uncomfortable. To the extreme, I really wish there was a swimming pool next to me and I could jump in to relieve the damn heat.
Arriving at Huayin Pavilion not far from Jing Xuexuan, Shui Lianyue stopped and squatted in the bushes next to the pavilion, quietly observing the movements of Jing Xuexuan. The door was closed tightly, and people inside listened. There was no unusual sound, it could even be said that there was no sound at all, which made her heart twitch. Listening carefully, she saw that the number of secret guards ambushing around her seemed to have decreased. Her phoenix eyes inadvertently looked towards the opposite side of Jing Xuexuan. Behind a dense poplar tree, a man squatted under the shade.
Immediately afterwards, she looked away and looked at half a rockery not far from her. A figure could be vaguely seen behind her, half-crouching on the ground, motionless.[
Hiss, something is wrong. Shui Lianyue looked away, held her breath, and listened again. There was still only the sound of two people breathing. Did Nangong Ling discover something? No, if he really discovered it, why did he only send two people to guard Jing? Xuexuan?
There were no less than twenty secret guards lurking around Jing Xuexuan before, but why are there only two of them at this moment? Could something really have happened? Hongying and the others were caught? If they were really caught, why did Nangong Ling send someone else? Guard this place?
Although there were many doubts in her heart that made her restless, she still didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, she threw out Xuan Tian Ling from her sleeve without hesitation, held her breath, and slowly moved towards the two people. move in the direction of
Immediately afterwards, two more corpses appeared in the dry well next to Huayin Pavilion.
Opening the door of Jingxue Pavilion, Shui Lianyue stepped in and ran in. The formation had disappeared and everything returned to its original appearance. The door of the main room was closed tightly. Suddenly, the door opened. Hongying looked outside warily, but unexpectedly discovered Shui Lianyue dressed in black.
"Miss", her surprised exclamation made Dongxue and Qiuye in the house come to the door together, "Miss".
"Let's talk inside first." Shui Lianyue walked into the main room in a few steps, quickly closed the door, walked to the back room to change her clothes, then breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the round table and sat down, Hongying gave her a hand in time. Pour a glass of water.
Shui Lianyue glanced at the three of them, her beautiful face was extremely serious, her phoenix eyes were filled with coldness, she frowned and said in a deep voice: "The plan was wrong. Due to the situation, I rescued Nangong Yu early last night. When he came out, looking at his injuries, he was in a coma. There were many large and small wounds on his body, and there were also extremely serious internal injuries. If he was not treated in time, he would still be semi-crippled even if he survived. So, we will take action tomorrow night and leave the palace. ”.
The three of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then nodded understandingly, "Master, can you place him in a proper place?" Hongying thought for a while and asked.
"Well, it's okay for the time being. We will leave tomorrow night. There shouldn't be any problems during this period. By the way, did Nangong Ling send anyone here in the meantime?" Shui Lianyue took a sip of the water in the tea cup and swept it away. The three of them asked.
Dong Xue shook her head, but a trace of doubt flashed across her brows, and she whispered: "That's not true. It's just that for some reason, there seem to be some hidden guards around Jingxue Pavilion, and there were footsteps outside the gate this morning."
Shui Lianyue put down the teacup and said calmly: "I also discovered this problem when I came back. There were only two secret guards guarding the door of Jingxue Xuan. I killed them and threw them into the dry well. Now there are half a circle around Jingxue Xuan. There was no one there, although it was a great opportunity, but just as I rescued Nangong Yu last night, Nangong Ling found out about it. Now the four gates of the palace are under martial law, even if the monks can escape, they can't escape from the temple."
"Is the lady injured?" Qiuye looked at Shui Lianyue and asked worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Shui Lianyue looked at Qiuye, knowing that she cared about her, she couldn't help but chuckled and said: "No, but I am quite tired after all this tossing."
"If it is as the young lady said, I will leave the palace tomorrow night, and I will take Nangong Yu with him who is seriously injured. I am afraid that we will have to step up our plans." Hongying looked at Shui Lianyue solemnly, her beautiful eyebrows tightly knitted together, very worried worry.
Shui Lianyue nodded slightly, then turned to look at Qiuye and said, "It still depends on her. Without her Qimen Dunjia technique, even if we escape from Jing Xuexuan, we still can't get out of the palace unless we fight out. However, I will not do this. A seriously injured Nangong Yu and Qiu Ye who do not know martial arts, with the three of us, want to break out of the palace gate with many guards, just to die."
Qiuye was startled, then looked at Shui Lianyue with some embarrassment, and said in a deep voice: "Although I am familiar with the terrain of the palace, the palace gates are now on heightened alert. We don't know which palace gate is the least vigilant. Only by finding this breakthrough can we Only then will there be more chances of winning.”
"This is not difficult. I will go and investigate tonight." As soon as Shui Lianyue finished speaking, Hongying frowned and asked, "Miss, are you still going out?"
Shui Lianyue understood what Hongying meant. She was afraid that the three of them would be anxious if they didn't return home that night. She smiled lightly and said comfortingly: "You don't know what your young lady is capable of? Don't worry, I'm just Go take a look and come back after you have found out everything, don’t worry.”[
Hongying suddenly pouted after hearing this, obviously dissatisfied with Shui Lianyue's words, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "No matter how talented the young lady is, she is still weak, and she doesn't know how to cherish herself despite all the hardships. Oh, I really hate it." I'm not up to par, but if I recover from my internal injuries, I can still help the lady. I really hate myself."
Shui Lianyue looked at Hongying's awkward look, and the smile on her lips deepened. She shook her head reluctantly, but ignored it. She glanced at Dongxue and Qiuye, and said softly: "Come on, let's make plans for tomorrow now. night".
Yunzhao Hall
The main hall seemed to have been ransacked. The furnishings were extremely messy. Even the wardrobe in the dormitory and even the small wooden boxes were turned over in a mess. In the center of the main hall sat Nangong Ling, with Concubine Yun standing below and several people standing on both sides. The eunuch and the palace maid looked at each other with intense hostility and coldness, but the words they spoke were incompatible with their expressions.
"I wonder if your Majesty can you find the thing or person you want?" Concubine Yun stood beside the seat politely. After a long time, she looked away and lowered her head slightly and asked softly.
Listening to the hidden meaning of Concubine Yun's words, Nangong Ling couldn't help but flash a sharp look in her eyes, curled up the corner of her mouth, and sneered: "Concubine Yun knows better than me whether you have found it or not, don't you?"
"What did the emperor say? He brought people to Yunzhao Hall early in the morning. Without saying a word, he turned the Yunzhao Hall inside and outside out into a mess. I didn't even ask the emperor what he meant. Why did the emperor ask me about it instead? "Is it done?" Concubine Yun raised her head and looked at Nangong Ling with a smile in her eyes, which seemed to be a mockery, causing the anger in Nangong Ling's chest to burn to the top of her head.
Now that Yu'er has been rescued, her heart has fallen to the ground. She has nothing to do with Nangong Ling, and with the gold medal given by the late emperor, she doesn't need to take Nangong Ling seriously anymore.
