Since Qingcheng left, the palace mistress locked herself in the room. She sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her face in the mirror.
In a trance, she seemed to see someone else through the mirror, but she couldn't remember the person's face, only the name was unforgettable.
Who is she?
Is it Hong Lian, the master of the Palace of Fire, or a ghost that should exist in hell?
Sometimes even she can't tell the difference.
But there was one thing she remembered clearly, that was getting Xiao Chengyi.
Honglian squinted her eyes, stared at herself in the mirror, and murmured: "Mu Yun'an, is it you? Are you really not dead? No, I don't believe it."
Honglian shook her head, her heart a little confused.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, then picked up the kodan on the dressing table and dyed her nails carefully.
The long nails were dyed with another layer, making the originally bright red color become more and more dazzling.
After the fingers were dyed, there was a knock on the door outside.
Honglian didn't move and said lightly: "Come in."
Qingcheng walked in, she bowed and said: "Palace Master, my subordinates led a search and did not find the regent. He may have left."
Honglian was stunned for a moment: "Leave? Since he already knows that the haunting in Fengdu is related to us, how could he leave just like that?"
Qingcheng guessed: "Will the regent send reinforcements? His subordinates think he is very powerful. Should we avoid the limelight temporarily?"
Honglian raised her eyebrows and said: "Where can we avoid? If we leave, won't Cangya Mountain be exposed? Xiao Chengyi has a heart for the world. He can't just ignore everything about Feng. I guess he will definitely come back after dawn.
of."
Qingcheng asked suspiciously: "The palace master knows the regent very well? Could it be that you really know each other?"
Honglian raised her head and looked at Qingcheng through the mirror and said: "Don't ask more questions if you shouldn't know. You and your people will set up an ambush in the city. As long as Xiao Chengyi dares to come back, he must not be allowed to escape."
"yes."
Qingcheng responded, then secretly glanced at Honglian, only to see her admiring her nails.
Strange to say, the palace mistress didn't like these things before. Her clothes were very elegant, her nails were trimmed very short, and she never dyed them with khaki.
But since she recovered from a serious injury, she has fallen in love with bright red things. The clothes she wears are red, the red lotus on her forehead is red, and even the color of the kodan is the same.
Especially Koudan, she always keeps her nails long and dyes her fingers red, which looks very weird.
Although Qingcheng was confused, she didn't think much about it. She just felt that the palace master had changed her temper.
After she left, Honglian curled her lips and said, "Xiao Chengyi, we will meet again soon. Will you be surprised?"
She smiled and picked up the comb on the table and began to dress up.
After Qingcheng left, he arranged it in the city according to Honglian's instructions.
At this time, the sky lit up slightly, and someone walked in through the hazy morning mist.
Phantom stood upstairs. She looked at the person coming and said suspiciously: "Why is there only one person?"
Naturally, Qingcheng also noticed it. She frowned and said, "No matter, let's catch the person first."
After giving the order, his men were surrounded by the incoming people.
Qingcheng went downstairs and walked up to the man. She saw that the man had an outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament. He was different from the few people she had seen last night.
She stared at the man and asked, "Who are you? Why did you break into Fengdu without permission?"
