Chapter 208 Let's All Listen
It was late at night, in the main hall of Marquis Wending's mansion.

Xiao Jinxi's voice turned cold, and she asked, "Ji Haotian, you were always in the palace all those years ago. Emperor Zong Yuan entrusted you with such a secret matter."

"You really don't know why he did this?"

Ji Haotian shook his head and said, "I really don't know."

Mo Yi stared at Ji Haotian in front of him with deep thought in his eyes. After a long time, he asked again: "Ji Haotian, since you often sneaked into Shoukang Palace back then, did you find anything else?"

Ji Haotian shook his head, and replied: "No, I sneaked into Shoukang Palace, just to see how Concubine Li is doing. I will leave after I finish."

Xiao Jinxi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Oh, after so many years, you are still protecting your master with all your heart. But you answered so quickly and without thinking."

"Ji Haotian, you have to think about it before answering!"

At this moment, Ji Haotian shook his head again and said: "Really not. Back then, I only focused on Concubine Li's affairs. I didn't care about other things at all. I didn't dare to stay in the harem for a long time. Every time I read it, I left right away."

Xiao Jinxi stared at Ji Haotian, and asked for a moment: "Then, when was the last time you went to Shoukang Palace?"

Ji Haotian replied again: "After Concubine Li died of illness, her body will be inactive for three days. That was the second night, I secretly went to Concubine Li's mourning hall and visited once."

"But there are people guarding the mourning hall, and I can't go in. I just watch from a distance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Haotian's eyes darkened instantly, and he murmured: "The mourning hall."

Mo Yi's eyes froze for a moment, and he asked, "What happened to the mourning hall?"

Ji Haotian shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on either?"

"At that time, I was hiding in the dark, but I saw another direction. In the dark of a big tree in the distance, there was also a figure standing. That person was also looking at the mourning hall."

"But it was already very late. At that time, there should be only the Eleventh Prince and those servants left in the mourning hall."

"That person stood there, looking at the mourning hall, and should have stayed there for a quarter of an hour before leaving."

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi stared at Ji Haotian, and continued to ask: "You don't see who it is?"

Ji Haotian shook his head, and replied: "No, it was too dark at that time. At that time, I didn't care about it too much, so I didn't follow it. However, that figure looked much shorter than me."

Mo Yi's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he said, "You were only in your teens back then. In other words, that person was younger than you."

Ji Haotian nodded, and replied: "Look at that figure, it should be younger than me."

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi had deep thoughts in his eyes, and continued to ask: "What about the back? Have you never been to the harem again?"

Ji Haotian shook his head, and replied: "No. Not long after that incident, I stole Master's token and escaped from the palace."

Xiao Jinxi stared at Ji Haotian, and continued to ask: "Ji Haotian, who else did you know in the harem back then?"

But Ji Haotian shook his head, and said: "Back then, with my status, if we didn't have the emperor's order, we couldn't just go to the harem."

"So, before the matter of Concubine Li, I had never been to the harem. I only know how many concubines there are in Emperor Zong Yuan's harem."

"At that time, I followed the prince and the group of eunuchs all the way to Shoukang Palace."

At this moment, Mo Yi said: "Ji Haotian, you are not familiar with the harem. Since you are a secret guard, you are always familiar with the place where your secret guards stay!"

Ji Haotian nodded and replied, "Well, I've been there for a few years, so I'm naturally familiar with it."

Mo Yi nodded and said: "Yes. Then find time and draw all the places where your hidden guards stay. Can you do it?"

Ji Haotian was amazed for a moment and said, "They all have to be drawn?"

Mo Yi didn't answer, and continued, "Qingluan, I'll leave this task to you."

Qingluan understood instantly, staring at Ji Haotian, with calculations in his eyes, and said: "Got it, master don't worry. I will pay attention to everything, and nothing will be left behind. I will draw one by one while staring at Ji Haotian."

At this moment, Ji Haotian in the hall felt chills down his spine when Qingluan stared at him!
Dugu Ziyan at the side smiled, looking at the woman's complacent look.

Xiao Jinxi looked at it, also smiled, and continued to ask: "Ji Haotian, do you know Ye Qing?"

Dugu Ziyan's eyes froze instantly, Ye Qing?

Ji Haotian shook his head and said, "Ye Qing? I don't know him."

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said: "Ji Haotian, your Lingyun step is from Xiao Yun. Have you ever asked where his martial arts come from?"

Ji Haotian nodded and replied: "At that time, when I first followed Master, I asked about it."

"Master said that he used to travel with the master. But in the early years, the master was dead. The master didn't mention it later, and I didn't ask again."

Xiao Jinxi stared at Ji Haotian, and said for a moment: "Oh, I don't know?"

"Then let me tell you. Ye Qing, is the person who first showed Lingyunbu in Dayue decades ago."

While talking, she turned her head to look at Dugu Ziyan.

"Da Yue!" Ji Haotian said in surprise.

Dugu Ziyan shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi said, "It seems that you really don't know. Forget it. I'll stop asking here tonight."

"As Qingluan said, before Duguyan gives birth to a child, you can stay in Marquis Wending's mansion. But don't forget, your life is still in Qingluan's hands. If you do anything else, the solution You don't need to take the medicine."

Duguziyan also said: "Ji Haotian, you go to Feiyu Pavilion to guard Yan'er first."

"Remember, if you dare to take Yan'er out in private, and Yan'er made a mistake because of you, you don't have to stay in this Mansion of Marquis Wending any longer."

"Yes, Haotian knows." Ji Haotian bowed back before turning and leaving.

After the person had gone far away, Duguzi said to Qingluan who had walked aside, picked up the injured hand, looked carefully, and finally felt relieved in his eyes, and said: "Fortunately, the bleeding is gone. Qingluan, you have to first Go back and rest?"

Qingluan shook her head and said: "I'm fine. If I don't understand this matter clearly tonight, I won't be able to sleep."

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said, "Since you can't sleep, let's listen to it together. We Qingluan's injuries tonight are not in vain."

Duguziyan smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay, I'll give you another medicine later on."

Qingluan smiled and replied: "Okay!"

Mo Yi on the side smiled helplessly, handed the teacup to Xiao Jinxi, and said, "Xi'er, it's been so long. Come, drink tea."

"En." Xiao Jinxi smiled, took the teacup, and drank slowly.

After a while, Dugu Ziyan walked aside and sat down, and continued: "Miss Xiao, the Ye Qing you are talking about is the Miao Jiang people who were besieged by the Dayue government in Fallen Leaves Valley decades ago?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said: "That's right, it seems that Zhao Kuo, as the son of Dugu, has found a lot of things! Then we will listen carefully."

Duguziyan smiled helplessly, and continued: "After Ye Qing disappeared in Fallen Leaves Valley, Ling Yunbu also disappeared in Dayue."

"As for the Fallen Leaves Valley, after many years of encirclement and suppression, no one in the vicinity dared to go to that area. As time passed, it became more and more desolate."

"But occasionally, some herb collectors will go there. Because of the geographical environment there, it is suitable for the growth of some medicinal materials."
