As soon as night fell, palace lanterns were lit one after another in the palace, which were bright red and had a strange aura. A group of ten people from the Forbidden Army patrolled every half an hour to defend the palace watertight.
Compared with the harem, the cold palace shrouded in night has a different kind of gloominess. To put it bluntly, this place is a place where the father does not care for the mother and does not love the mother. Those unfavored concubines in the cold palace can only live in the palace for the rest of their lives.
Staying in the cold palace and dying of old age. It sounds nice to give them a house to live in, but in fact it is a kind of life imprisonment in disguise. Therefore, the resentment in the cold palace is huge.
As the saying goes, where there are more women, there are more words, so most of the strange stories that are spread by word of mouth when the palace ladies are doing nothing are from those in the cold palace.
However, in this deserted and cold palace, in a room with flickering candlelight, a conspiracy is brewing.
"What? You actually let her into Prince Xi's Mansion?" A scream echoed in the room with unbelievable anger.
"Wanrou, keep your voice down." A deep voice warned sternly.
"Master Qin, didn't you promise that you would capture her before? Why did you suddenly tell me now that she has entered Prince Xi's Mansion?" Guo Wanrou's face was full of jealousy, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
Qin Hui picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, slowly put it down, and said slowly: "I didn't expect that someone would help me secretly. This is my mistake."
Qin Hui had exhausted all his traps and laid a net. He thought everything was safe, but unexpectedly, he didn't expect someone to help her when she left the palace. It was obvious that the other party was a master of disguise. Under the strict investigation he arranged all the way, Leng still let Leng go.
Chang Xi entered the palace of Prince Xi.
When he learned about this, he also lost his temper. He thought that he had risked violating Gaozong's original intention of conducting a low-key search and launched a nationwide search with great fanfare, causing panic in Lin'an, but he still let her escape. How could he?
Can you not be angry?
Especially knowing that those stupid men were tricked by Leng Changxi in Lin'an and deceived into searching in the direction of Jiazhou, thus delaying the time to rush to Xiuzhou. He was so angry that he beheaded the leaders on the spot.
.
"Master Qin, now that little bitch has entered Prince Xi's palace, what should we do?" Guo Wanrou didn't want to hear his excuse for failure at all, she just wanted to know how to fulfill her wish next.
"This matter should not be rushed. We need to discuss it in the long run. Neither you nor I expected that Leng Changxi would resort to such tactics. It seems that we underestimated her." Qin Hui narrowed his gloomy eyes and spoke in a cold voice.
"Ha!" Guo Wanrou sneered: "Underestimate? That's because Mr. Qin is too conceited!"
"I am arrogant?" Qin Hui heard what she said and immediately felt unhappy: "It's because of you that I am arrogant! If you hadn't told me, Leng Changxi would have been just a loser with no appearance, and I wouldn't have made a mistake in my judgment!"
"Master Qin, what you are saying is that this is all my fault, Guo Wanrou's?" Guo Wanrou's voice became a little shriller.
"Miss Guo, don't you think it's not a matter of finding out who is right and who is wrong?" Qin Hui's voice became louder, and he became more and more impatient. This woman really has no brains and only looks at the immediate interests. If not
She was still useful and easy to control, so why would Qin Hui bother to help her?
"Okay! We won't pursue the issue of right or wrong. Then Mr. Qin, please tell me what to do next?" Guo Wanrou sneered, with a strong sense of sarcasm in her words.
When Qin Hui heard this, the corners of his eyes moved slightly, and a ruthless swipe passed through his eyes. But he was an old fox after all, so he suppressed his anger and analyzed in a cold voice: "Because of his face, the emperor was reluctant to issue an edict to confer Leng Changxi as a queen.
The princess married Wanyan and Ci. However, King Xi hid her in the palace. If he wanted to touch her, he couldn't find a suitable way for a while. He could only wait and see what happened to King Xi.
What do you mean? Didn’t you say before that King Xi is interested in you? You can write to him first to find out what he says."
When Guo Wanrou heard what Qin Hui said, she immediately lost her temper, looked at Qin Hui angrily, and shouted regardless: "Master Qin, it was you who said that this matter would be handed over to you. I believe it without any reason.
But now you tell me that you can't find a solution at the moment? You want me to write a letter to King Xi? How can I trust your words again?"
Qin Hui glanced at her coldly and said in a louder voice: "You have to believe it even if you don't believe it! What else can you do now except believe me?"
"You!" Guo Wanrou's eyes turned red with anger: "Master Qin, if it was easy to talk to King Xi, why would I have come to you in the first place? Please don't forget, if I can't marry Zhao Yuan smoothly, or...
If that bitch continues to stay with Zhao Yuan, all your plans will be in vain!"
When Qin Hui heard this, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes. No one had ever dared to speak so loudly to him, or even threaten him! Qin Hui's face turned completely cold and he said, "Is Wanrou threatening me?"
He has tolerated Guo Wanrou enough. If he hadn't considered that she was a woman of the Guo family and had value, he would have disposed of her long ago, leaving her to talk nonsense.
"If Mr. Qin thinks so, it's okay!" Guo Wanrou held Qin Hui's shortcomings in her hands, and Qin Hui wanted something from her, so she became arrogant.
Qin Hui has always been a person who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. How could he be so angry? He immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at Guo Wanrou closely, his dark eyes were as cold as ice, and his face was as cold as ice.
Guo Wanrou was not weak either. She looked back at Qin Hui with a hint of contempt in her eyes.
After a while, Qin Hui suddenly sneered and warned calmly: "In this case, it seems that there is nothing I can do to help Miss Guo. Miss Guo, please do it yourself. From now on, we will go back to each other, and we will go our separate ways.
Everyone said, "But don't blame me for not reminding Miss Guo, even if you really get your wish and marry Zhao Yuan, as long as Leng Changxi is still between you, you will be a widow for the rest of your life!"
After Qin Hui finished speaking, he walked out of the room without even looking at Guo Wanrou's suddenly pale face.
Guo Wanrou was left alone in the room with flickering candles, her face distorted by resentment. Qin Hui's words made it clear that he had broken up with her and would not help her anymore, so he could only rely on others for the rest.
She herself.
She slowly clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and kept turning her eyes filled with jealousy. Suddenly, a plan came to her mind, and the corners of Guo Wanrou's lips slowly raised a sinister smile. Qin Hui's last words
It really reminded her what to do, so her top priority now is to go to Xiuzhou in person and enter Prince Xi's Mansion to find out what's going on!
