The princess is soft! The sick villain is crazy

Chapter 104 Confused

Author: Raising cats every year

The secret passage was long and there was no light, and it was filled with a stale smell.

If it weren't for the accidental triggering of the mechanism, Shu Yao wouldn't have thought that there was such a secret passage hidden under the palace, which could lead to the princess's mansion.

"Li Mingji, how did you find the way in the secret passage?"

Shu Yao became curious and completely forgot about the embarrassment of the two. Or maybe Li Mingji's eyes were too calm, which made Shu Yao unable to even ask questions.

"I have heard of the secret story before. It was said that it was the entire imperial city from the time of Ruizong in the previous dynasty to the completion of Emperor Ai," Li Mingji's slightly lowered eyes could not see the expression, "The imperial city is square, and the imperial palace faces north and south, like the northern sky hanging in the night sky. The princess's mansion is located in the east of the palace and north of the imperial city. He walked along one direction with the imperial palace as a guide.

The palace was built according to the direction of the North Star. Shu Yao had indeed heard this statement, so the palace was also called Zichen. However, identifying the direction through the stars in the sky is a method used in the wild. Shu Yao grew up so old that except for going to Jiangnan when she was young, she spent the rest of her time in the imperial city, so it was even more impossible for her to live in the wild.

What about Li Mingji?

Why is he? It seems that he knows everything?

Before the doubt was asked, a slender hand suddenly fell over, covering Shu Yao's eyes.

The young man's cold breath came to his nose, and the rare strong and domineering attitude almost completely encircled her in his arms.

Shu Yao's body froze, and the unspeakable softness floated up again. She said in a sweet voice: "What, what's wrong?"

"It's too dark here, and I'm worried that the princess will trip," Li Mingji whispered, "I'll take you there, okay?"

It was clearly a questioning tone, but the hands covered in their eyes did not relax at all. In the past, Shu Yao should have let him take it away long ago, but she was a little greedy for this warm touch. Her heartbeats like rain, and she vaguely said: "Okay."

Li Mingji looked at the mound of earth in front of her invisible place.

I didn't pay attention to it when I came before, and there was no fire illumination. I just thought it was the waste I discarded when digging the secret passage. Now I got closer, and I realized that it was not a mound of soil at all, but a pile of human bones.

During the previous dynasty, this secret passage was not opened. When Xiao Sui and Prince Liang fled from the Eastern Palace, few people knew about whom the pile of bones buried under the old Qinyang Marquis' Mansion belonged to?

Li Mingji remembered that when he first entered the Qinyang Marquis' Mansion in this life, he heard the servant discussing Li Luoyuan.

It is said that people have died here.

...

The East Palace is already in chaos.

The palace maid Caidie was killed on the spot. Looking at her eyes, Zhao Wenrui was still confused. She was like a male dog with love, biting everyone she saw, and screaming from female relatives everywhere.

The queen with a dark face sent off the female family behind her on the spot and ordered people to block the place. She called the guards to capture Zhao Wenrui, and poured a bucket of ice water from head to toe. Another imperial physician came to give Zhao Wenrui acupuncture. He woke up as if he was in a dream and knelt on the ground begging for mercy:

"Empress, Empress, I am also being harmed by others. It was that slut who killed me... it was her who killed me!"

The queen is not a fool, Caidie is the palace maid of the East Palace, and Zhao Wenrui, a prince whose fief is far away from the capital, how can he be related to her?

It's just that he is not clean and cannot control himself at banquets attended by so many people.

The queen said coldly: "Take it away."

Zhao Wenrui knew that he had lost face at the banquet. Looking at the queen's majestic appearance, he gritted his teeth and simply gave up: "Empress! Empress, not only that slut, but also the guards around Princess Huaxi... He killed my servant, and also gave me medicine, locking me up with Caidie here. I didn't deliberately destroy the banquet!"

As far as this is concerned, can the queen not understand what is going on?

She and Zheng Yueyao did intend to match Zhao Wenrui and Princess Huaxi. Unexpectedly, Zhao Wenrui was even more anxious and actually made such a bad move. Then the guards beside Shu Yao were arranged by the guards.

The queen suddenly became less angry.

At the beginning, I chose Changping Houzi, but I saw that his conditions were met. Now, I saw that Shu Yao's little bitch is worthy of this stupid prince, wouldn't it be right?

But the question is, Zhao Wenrui is here, where did Shu Yao go and why didn’t he appear?

Zheng Yueyao is also thinking about this issue.

If the uneasiness in her heart came from the accident caused by Zhao Wenrui, would it be a bit mediocre? No matter how embarrassing Zhao Wenrui is, it is his own business and has nothing to do with her Crown Princess of the East Palace...

"Empress, empress!"

The queen's close maid ran over hurriedly and said anxiously, "Empress, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here!"

His Majesty?!

The queen knew that today Emperor Yong and the Crown Prince were discussing affairs with the ministers in Chengqian Palace. Especially as the year approached, they were busy all day long, and Emperor Yong would not care about such banquets in the East Palace.

Well, why did he come here?

The queen hurriedly asked the maid to tidy up her appearance, straightened her hairpin ring on her head, and ordered the palace servants around her to look down on Zhao Wenrui. She had already changed into a dignified and generous expression and said lightly: "Follow me. Awu, you go back first."

Zheng Yueyao lowered her face and said ok.

Emperor Yong really came to the East Palace.

In Zhuwaixuan, Emperor Yong sat in the main seat, and several confidant eunuchs stood beside him.

The queen hurried over and saluted Emperor Yong.

"Your Majesty," the queen smiled, "Why are you free to come to the East Palace? It's just an ordinary banquet. I saw that Awu, the child, had just married into the East Palace, and then held this banquet in her name and took her to recognize the people."

"It's early today. I saw that it was still dawn, so I came over to take a look," Emperor Yong did not look back. "I heard that child Ayuan ran away and said, Yaoyao was gone?"

The smile on the queen's face froze.

When she saw Zhao Wenrui, the queen was thinking about how to deal with him, but she ignored Princess Jiayi. Has she followed up from Wanghu Pavilion? Has she seen what happened in the West Palace? It is unknown.

But Princess Jiayi, like Shu Yao, was both uneasy. Relying on Emperor Yong's favor and acted recklessly, the queen was always disliked.

"I didn't see anyone for a while," said the queen gentlely. "The little princess loves sex, and she was lingering where she was, and she missed the time. I heard that she seemed to be with the prince of Changping. The little princess is also at the age of marriage. Could it be that she was a little moved when she saw the prince marrying a concubine, and she met the husband whom she met at the banquet?"

Emperor Yong lowered his eyes to her, disappointment reflected in his dark eyes. The queen's heart suddenly hangs.

"Yaoyao," he said slowly, "Come out."

The bead curtain swayed, reflecting the girl's slim figure. With a slender hand, the queen saw Shu Yao and the guard behind her.
