Marry instead, favor the first princess

Chapter 535
Mo Shangchen, he must have gone into that passage!

Just as I thought of this, a thin voice came from my ear: "See Empress Empress..."

Mingyue was taken aback, and after realizing it, she retracted her body... Seeing this, Hongxiu hurriedly saluted: "I have seen my father-in-law..."

Eunuch Li glanced at Mingyue, saw her strange behavior just now, and didn't dare to think about anything.

In the imperial palace, if you can ignore one thing, it is one thing.

What's more, the woman in front of me has an extraordinary status. Even if she did a huge mistake, the emperor might not start punishing her... And what is her purpose, only the emperor has the right to do it. Jurisdiction.

As long as she doesn't endanger the government and the people, then naturally it's none of her business.

"So it's Eunuch Li..."

Mingyue smiled sarcastically, with a hint of embarrassment.

Then, he quietly calmed down and glanced back and forth... Finally, he seemed to raise his eyes to look at the sky, and then calmly said: "It's getting late, I don't know what's the matter with Eunuch Li..."

Seeing this, Eunuch Li bent over with a flick of dust and smiled and added: "I have nothing to do with this slave, but it's time to serve the emperor for dinner, but I can't find the emperor... The slave is thinking, is the emperor here?" In the study?"

"He's not here. I... I also came here to look for the emperor. I just took a look inside and found no trace of the emperor."

Mingyue quickly went up to explain it, and subconsciously called herself "Ben Gong", reminding people of her identity invisibly.

After that, I thought about it back and forth in my heart.

Even Eunuch Li, Mo Shangchen also left those people who were with him back and forth... It seems that there might really be some secrets in that passage, which made her feel compelled to explore.

"Then, where are you going, Your Majesty?"

Eunuch Li subconsciously looked into the room, as if he didn't believe Mingyue's words.

However, if there were people in the room, they would definitely be able to hear this kind of conversation... And the emperor, who attaches so much importance to the empress, how could he not let her in?In this way, there is indeed no one in the room, which can also explain the behavior of the empress just now.

Even so, there is always something wrong.

"Okay, Eunuch Li, it's up to me to serve the emperor's meals...you go down and rest, the emperor must have gone to my bedroom."

In the end, Mingyue gave an order to make Eunuch Li retreat.

In this way, when Xia Mo Shangchen comes out of the imperial study, she can sneak in, and then investigate one or two... For some reason, she doesn't like this, she doesn't like Mo Shangchen hiding something from her, letting her In the heart that wanted to forgive, there was a slight illusion of being deceived and uncomfortable.

Eunuch Li was in a bit of a dilemma, after all it was his duty to serve the emperor... Finally, seeing Mingyue's stunning appearance and her position in the emperor's heart, he finally nodded in response: "If that's the case, this servant will step down like this."

After saying that, he bowed to Mingyue and bowed, and quickly turned back from the way he came here.

Mingyue quietly let out a sigh of relief as she watched Eunuch Li go away.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor clearly..."

Hongxiu didn't understand, and said something timidly.

Hearing this, Mingyue suddenly turned her head and took a deep look at Hongxiu... Immediately afterwards, she stretched out her hand and pulled Hongxiu, hid in the side corridor of the Imperial Study Room, while watching the direction of the door, she turned her head and said: "Hongxiu, since you have followed me, I will naturally not treat you as an outsider...Some people have things, I say what I say, you must keep the secrets you hear and see! In this palace , I will not let you be bullied by anyone, and I will not let you lose your life! But, if you dare to betray me..."

"Slaves dare not..."

Before Mingyue finished speaking, Hongxiu immediately turned pale and said.

Originally, she asked because she was worried about Mingyue... After all, Eunuch Li is someone close to the emperor, and she lied for Zhou.Eunuch Xuan Li, if the emperor finds out, he will definitely be implicated.

However, when Mingyue said this again, she naturally felt a little more at ease... Thinking about it, the emperor loves the empress so much, I am afraid that this country is not as important as the empress, her worries are really unnecessary.

"Okay, don't call yourself 'servant' anymore, you see when I called myself 'Bengong' to you... In private, there are not so many rules."

Mingyue said simply, and stopped paying attention to Hongxiu, but focused on looking ahead.

As for Hongxiu, what she said was very clear. If she had such a little bit of brains, she would naturally understand all her meanings... Besides, she believed that her eyes looked at people, and Hongxiu didn't think too much. , and because of this, no matter where she goes, she takes her with her.

As for the flower spirit, she also wanted to take it with her.

The point is, there is Wucheng next to Hualing, what did she do with her, she turned around and passed it on to Wucheng verbatim, and at the same time, she and Wucheng are both people around Mo Shangchen... Doesn't this mean the same thing? Telling Mo Shangchen directly that she is going to probe his secret will always be a little speechless.

Thinking this way, there was a sound from the door.

Mingyue hurriedly turned around, made a silent gesture to Hongxiu, and then stuck to the wall, not daring to make any noise... After a while, there was the sound of footsteps walking away, and then cautiously leaned out again .

Dressed in white clothes to win the snow, he walked down the steps and walked in an unknown direction.

In the dimness, I saw him walking further and further away, and soon disappeared around a corner.

Following his departure, Mingyue only felt that her heart was full of tension, she looked down at her palms, and there was a layer of sweat on them... He let out a long breath, tugged at the sleeves behind her, and bent her waist Walking towards the door of the imperial study, quickly opened the door to enter, then closed it and went up.

In just a moment, Hongxiu understood what Mingyue wanted.

And when Mingyue walked in front of the picture scroll, it confirmed her conjecture.

"Empress, I'm afraid this is not very good..."

Hongxiu couldn't help but glanced at Mingyue worriedly, and then reminded him of the previous sentence.

Anyway, this is also the emperor's imperial study... That place, the last time she and the empress accidentally saw it, probably violated the taboo.

Mingyue caressed her forehead, feeling a little powerless for Hongxiu, but after thinking about it, she was an ancient person, and she was a maid of low status, so she was naturally afraid of this kind of thing... She didn't say much, and pointed at the table on the table. Candle: "Light that, bring it here..."

Hongxiu didn't dare to say anything more, so he walked over to do so.

Mingyue turned her head, glanced at the picture scroll, and then moved it over...reached out to touch something on it, twisted it back and forth, and the bookshelf automatically opened towards the two sides, and at the same time A dark passage appeared in front of her.

From Hongxiu's hand, he took a candlestick, glanced down, and suddenly found that there were steps one by one.

In this way, it would be easier to handle.

Looking back, I saw Hongxiu standing there in a daze, her body trembling slightly... Mingyue gritted her teeth and said, "If you are afraid, don't follow me in the future... There is no need for such a fearful person by my side !"

After the words fell, Mingyue took the first steps, with some fear in her actions.

The reason why she said this was because she wanted to use the aggressive method to shock Hongxiu down... Otherwise, would she go to detect it alone?God knows, her heart is already suspended, and her fear of the unknown things below is no less than that of Hongxiu!

However, who told her that she was the Empress Empress and the master of Hongxiu, even if she was terrified in her heart, she had to act on the surface... as if nothing had happened!Face is important, face is important... I hope Hongxiu will not let her down.

Thinking like this, but Hongxiu hurriedly followed behind him: "Your Majesty... Slaves... Slaves are not afraid..."

Hearing this, Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, this is the courage she should have as a maid of honor... It's so dark here that you can hardly see your fingers when you stretch out your hand, who dares to say that you are not afraid at all?That must be fake!

Mingyue stepped down carefully, and Hongxiu followed closely behind.

Just about ten steps down, there was a sudden sound from behind, both of them were shocked... Turning their heads and looking, it was the bookshelf that closed automatically, blocking the exit.
