At night, the Imperial Study Room of the Apocalypse Palace, the secret room of the Dark Palace.

The atmosphere in the secret room was stagnant, with only the flickering candle flames and weak crackling sounds from time to time.

Ying Yi and An Yi lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

For a long time, for a long time.

Black Eagle's voice came from outside the secret room: "Your Majesty, the portrait has been drawn."

"Come in." Emperor Ming Xi responded.

Hearing this, Ying Yi hurried over and opened the stone door.

Hei Ying walked into the secret room, bowed and handed over the portrait, but with a puzzled face, he said, "Your Majesty, this is the portrait of that man."

Seeing the black eagle with a different expression, Emperor Ming Xi frowned: "What's wrong?"

Hei Ying bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I seem to have seen this person before, but I can't remember where I saw him."

Emperor Ming Xi quickly took the portrait and looked at it, but there was helplessness in his eyes... It has been so many years, and he has seen it from a distance a few times back then, but he doesn't remember it now.

After a while, Fang finally called out: "Ying Yi."

As he spoke, he handed the portrait to Yingyi.Yingyi hurriedly took the portrait and looked at it carefully.

for a long time.

Only then nodded and replied: "That's right. Your Majesty, this person is the leader's apprentice."

Emperor Ming Xi's eyes froze instantly, and there was hostility in his eyes.

Hei Ying on the side was also shocked, he only knew that the leader's apprentice was dead, but he didn't know about the others, nor had he seen them.Why are you still alive now!

At this moment, An Yi next to him took the portrait, looked at it, but was instantly shocked: "This..."

Emperor Ming Xi raised his head instantly, and asked in doubt, "What's wrong?"

An Yi looked at the portrait in his hands, his eyes were full of shock, and he said tremblingly: "Return to the emperor, this person is the secret guard of the late Concubine Xian."

Emperor Ming Xi was shocked instantly, and shouted: "Concubine Xian!"

Hei Ying was even more frightened, and hurriedly took the portrait and looked at it.

An Yi hurriedly replied: "That's right. Your Majesty, when Concubine Xian just entered the palace, there was this male guard beside her. After he left, two female guards came in instead."

Hei Ying was startled for a moment, and hastily bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, this subordinate has just remembered, it is this person."

"After Concubine Xian entered the palace, her subordinates arranged for An Yi to monitor Chengqian Palace. Therefore, An Yi should know the appearance of that secret guard best."

"That time this person went out of the palace to pick up two female guards. At that time, An Yi was feeling unwell, and his subordinates took over An Yi's place to look at him. At that time, he could only see his silhouette from a distance. When An Yi came back, his subordinates looked at him gone."

"By the way, that secret guard is called Ji Haotian. It was the secret guard arranged by Marquis Wen Ding for Concubine Xian in the tenth year of Zongyuan. That's what we found at that time."

At this moment, Emperor Mingxi has a murderous look in his eyes...

Oh, Dugu Che, Dugu Ziyan, you are so kind!Since my dark guards have gone to your Marquis' mansion!It was Xiao Yun's death message!
Ji Haotian!Xiao Tianhao!Xiao Yun, what the hell are you doing!

And the inn in Qingzhou?Dugu Ziyan also sent Xu Yan to Qingzhou last time.Does it have something to do with this matter?

But it's not right, it was the first time in a year, and they couldn't find anything.Now that it has been so long, what can Xu Yan find out when he goes there?
for a long time.

Emperor Mingxi spoke again: "Hei Ying, send a letter to Xiao Yun, asking him to return to the imperial capital immediately, without further delay."

"Also, go to the Qingzhou Inn they mentioned. See if you can find out if Xu Yan has been there a while ago."

Startled, Hei Ying bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, Emperor Mingxi shouted: "Also, before Xiao Yun returns, all the hidden guards in the private house will stay in the dark hall and are not allowed to go out."

The three of Hei Ying were startled, and quickly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Night, Tianqi Palace Changchun Palace.

Inside the bedroom.

Su Lan stepped forward and said, "Miss, the bed is ready, you can go to sleep quickly."

On the lady's chair, Lin Xueer put down the book in her hand just now, and replied, "Mm, good."

Su Lan continued: "Miss, the weather is getting colder and colder now. How about I light a charcoal stove for you?"

Lin Xueer smiled: "Su Lan, your lady is not that weak. It's not too cold now, so I need a charcoal stove, okay?"

Said, has gone to the bed.

Su Lan said with a smile: "Okay, let the lady cover the quilt."

As he said that, he was already helping his own lady, tucking in the quilt.

Knock...knock... There was a knocking sound from the carved window.

Lin Xueer on the bed sat up in an instant and grabbed Su Lan's hand nervously.

He asked softly, "Su Lan, did you hear that?"

Su Lan nodded her head desperately, and then her face was full of joy, and she said: "I heard it, I heard it, Miss, wait a minute."

Lin Xueer grabbed Su Lan instantly, and said softly, "Let's go together."

Su Lan smiled, pulled up her own lady, crossed the screen, and came to the imperial concubine chair.

Su Lan said: "Miss, I heard a voice, did you hear it?"

Lin Xueer smiled and replied: "I heard it."

The tone falls.A figure flashed into the dormitory very quickly, stood in front of the carved window, and called softly: "Xue'er, I'm here."

At this moment, Lin Xueer was stunned, staring blankly at the man in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief... Brother Han really came!
Su Lan took a look, but quietly retreated to the door of the bedroom, listening to the movement outside.

I am secretly happy...Miss usually doesn't like it, and the maid comes to the bedroom to serve her.Therefore, there is no one inside or outside the dormitory.

Seeing Lin Xueer who was in a daze in thin clothes, Han Yeting smiled.

Turning around, he took off a cloak from the truss at the side, went forward, put it on for the woman, tied the belt carefully, and said: "The weather is getting colder and colder, Xue'er is about to catch a cold."

At this moment, Lin Xueer's eyes were full of smiles, she nodded in response: "Yeah."

After a while, he smiled awkwardly: "Brother Han, there is no clue yet, Su Lan will tell you and make you worry."

Han Yeting reached out and stroked the hair on the woman's forehead, and said, "Xue'er, I am willing."

Looking at the hands stroking her hair, and hearing the voice, I am willing, Lin Xueer was stunned.

Looking at the woman in a daze.

Han Yeting hurriedly said: "Xue'er, I am willing to worry about you."

"From the first time I saw you in Yunzhou, I couldn't forget it. When I finally entered the palace to see you, I couldn't forget it even more."

"I'm outside the palace these days, and I miss you every day. Xue'er, just let me worry about you, okay?"

Lin Xueer frowned...

The idea of ​​leaving the palace has always been there.Her plan for the future has always been only herself and Su Lan.

When he said he wanted to help him, he was very happy.However, he dared not ask for more.After all, she is still a concubine now.

Seeing the dazed woman, Han Yeting said anxiously: "Xue'er, you will leave the palace later. Let me accompany you, okay?"

Lin Xueer came back to her senses in an instant, and said, "Brother Han, I am the emperor's concubine. Even if I leave the palace in the future, I have been married before."

Han Yeting frowned, pulled Lin Xue'er into his arms instantly, and said, "Xue'er, those are not important, they will all pass."

"Xue'er, let me stay with you from now on, okay?"

At this moment, Lin Xueer's eyes were full of disbelief, but she didn't break free from that embrace, and even had nostalgia.

Han Yeting urged anxiously: "Xue'er, promise me, okay?"

for a long time.

Lin Xueer finally raised her hand, hugged the man back, and replied: "Okay. Wait for me, I will definitely go out."

Han Yeting was overjoyed instantly: "Good! Good!"

At the gate of the palace, Su Lan was already secretly smiling.
