Chapter 147
The old emperor said again, "You don't have to be afraid to admit that although trespassing into the Ninghua Palace without permission is a capital offense, you have done a great service in reporting the tunnel, and you have done a great job to atone for your crime. I am also surprised that there is a secret passage underground in the palace." After ordering people to put poisonous smoke into the tunnel, more than a hundred rebels of the Tianmo Sect were smoked to death. No matter how deep the tunnel is, the poisonous smoke will not disperse in the tunnel, and I believe that those who are not dead will be smoked to death. Fill it in. If you hadn’t reported meritorious service, the consequences would be unimaginable when the Heavenly Demon Cult launches a surprise attack on the palace from the tunnel someday! I will reward you well!”

"Hold on, Your Majesty!" Shangguan Jinghong said coldly, "I didn't inform you secretly."

"There are no outsiders here, and you don't need to deny it because you are afraid of the revenge of the Tianmo Sect. You have done this, and you are a hero of my Dongqi Kingdom. You have defended the peace of my Dongqi Palace and the territory. There is no need to refuse. Come People, reward Shangguan Jinghong's five mansions..."

"No need, I will find out what's going on!" After leaving this sentence coldly, Shangguan walked away in shock.She originally wanted to go back to Ninghua Palace to take a look at the scene, but suddenly heard a distant flute sound, the sound was far away, fluttering and lingering, as if people saw a calm lake in front of them, the lake water did not have a single ripple, just Like a pool of stagnant water, clear and transparent, cold and refreshing.

The melodious sound of the flute is as beautiful as the sound of nature, but there is a touch of sadness floating around, which makes my heart feel heavy unconsciously.

Qi Yun...

Shangguan Jinghong's mind suddenly flashed that peaceful man like jade.

At this moment, she inexplicably wanted to see Qi Yun very much.

Following the sound of the flute, Shangguan Jinghong entered Fuqin. The strange formation in the courtyard was useless to her. She walked through it effortlessly, ignoring the quiet and elegant scenery, and came to a building. It was five floors high, and in the corridor on the fifth floor, a tall, green figure stood quietly, playing a sad tune alone.

The flute player was actually Qi Yun.

Dressed in Tsing Yi, he seemed to gather the spirit of brilliance, handsome and clear, above the tall building, there was a unique youth in the world, not surprised at all, so desolate and lonely.

As if aware of her gaze, the sound of the flute stopped for a while, and continued to sound faintly and melodiously.

Shangguan Jinghong walked up the stairs, going up the stairs very fast, and reached the fifth floor in an instant, his face was not red, and he was not out of breath.

Standing beside Qi Yun, listening to the sad sound of the flute, while following Qi Yun's gaze.It turned out that standing here, one could clearly see everything in Ninghua Palace.

Even though Ninghua Palace was dilapidated and dilapidated in the past, it has been peaceful and quiet for 17 years. Today, a large number of guards come and go, which has already disturbed the tranquility of the past.

Qi Yun was probably sad that his mother and concubine had been disturbed.

Shangguan Jinghong looked at him sideways, with his carefulness, would he know that there is a tunnel under the Ninghua Palace?If he knew, then there would be one more suspicious person who wronged her today.

Beitangao and Princess Zhaoyang are the other two, because these two know the way.

On the surface, Princess Zhaoyang should be the one most suspected of reporting.From a political standpoint, if the Tianmo Sect attacked the Dongqi Palace from the underground, the war would definitely expand, and both sides would suffer.As a princess, how could Qi Zhaoyang allow her country to be threatened by such a hidden danger from the palace's underground tunnel?

And Bei Tangao, as the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, as long as he has ambition, he can wait for Dongqi Tiantian Demon Sect to lose two battles, and then send troops to reap the benefits, there is no need to reveal the tunnel.

Who on earth betrayed her?Why did he blame her for this matter?

Shangguan Jinghong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression became calm again.

After a long time, the sound of the flute gradually died down.

Qi Yun turned his head sideways, and Qingyue stared at her beautiful side face, "Hong'er, are you unhappy?"

"It's not me who is unhappy." She opened her lips indifferently, "It's you."

"I understand that there is a secret tunnel under the palace, and you didn't secretly order someone to inform Father."

"You mean that there is a secret passage under the palace, not that there is a secret passage under the Ninghua Palace?"

"Ah."

"Your father just told me in the study that there is an underground way in the Ninghua Palace," Shangguan Jinghong sneered, "It seems that he still doesn't know that the underground passages are not limited to the Ninghua Palace, but are all over the place. Underground of the entire palace."

"If he knew, he would probably be in trouble."

"When did you know?"

"Seventeen years ago." Qi Yun's eyes were quiet, "I accidentally discovered it the night my concubine died."

When Concubine Ning was mentioned, his expression darkened a little.

"It's been so long." Shangguan was surprised, "Why didn't you tell your father? This is related to the safety of the entire palace and even the Dongqi country."

"So what if I said it?" His expression was completely indifferent, "It's God's will, don't let me say it. Do you suspect that it was me who wronged you today?"

"According to my personality and the way of survival, anyone who knows that there are secret passages underground is suspicious." She tilted her head and looked back at him, "But you, I believe you won't."

Qi Yun felt a warmth in his heart, and smiled faintly.

"However, no matter who dares to wrong me, I will make him die ugly." Shangguan Jinghong said expressionlessly, "Even if it is your own sister, Princess Zhaoyang."

"I have no relatives." Qi Yun narrowed his eyes and raised his eyes, his eyes were calm, "From the moment my mother and concubine passed away, I have no relatives in this world."

Shangguan Jinghong felt a heavy sadness in his heart, Qi Yun, he was really lonely, an indescribable loneliness.She wanted to comfort his loneliness, but what could she do?Even in her own heart, there was nothing but ashes left.

A gust of breeze blew by, blowing her long black hair, and his clothes fluttered with the wind.

Silent, quiet.

It's like a kind of coolness that penetrates the heart, and it's like an invisible barrier.

She and him are just two lonely people.

"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." She walked a few steps, then stopped, "The dead are gone, even if someone breaks the tranquility of Ninghua Palace today, it may not really disturb the tranquility of Concubine Ning. Although I don't Knowing where Concubine Ning is buried, it is definitely not in Ninghua Palace. I don't know what happened in your past, but I can understand that the "hustle" in Ninghua Palace today is just to make you touch the long-lost wound again. .”
