The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 118 The Feast of Qiongfang (1)
Xi Wanqing did not avoid Xi Zhuyan's hand, and said obediently: "Thank you, Second Sister, for taking care of my younger sister." Anyway, I don't know the way to the palace, so I will stay with Xi Zhuyan tonight, but she wants to see this woman What kind of tricks do you want to play again.

Suzaku Gate is very lively tonight, and the guards guarding the city gate will not be idle. Every time a person passes by, they will check carefully.

"Miss, please stay here first." Xi Wanqing and Xi Zhuyan had just left in front of the Suzaku Gate when they were stopped by two guards guarding the city gate.

Xi Zhuyan knew that this was a routine inspection, so she stopped in her tracks. Xi Wanqing followed her, so she also stopped.

The two guards carefully looked the two of them up and down, but these guards must not have expected that the weapon Xi Wanqing was carrying would be the hairpin on his head.

"The two young ladies can go over." The guard didn't find anything dangerous on the two of them, so they let them go.

Xi Zhuyan dragged Xi Wanqing through the Zhuque Gate, and entered the palace all the way.

The imperial palace of Nanheng Kingdom is not much different from what Xi Wanqing imagined. Along the way, towering palaces stand in great numbers, rows of glazed tiles are arranged in an orderly manner, flying dragons hover above the raised eaves of the palaces, and the ground is all white marble. , There are also dragons hovering above the railings, and these patterns of dragons show the majesty of the royal family everywhere.

The scenery of the palace is naturally good, with green shade pouring water, rockery and strange rocks, and the palaces are connected by winding corridors, and the roads are somewhat intricate.

This year's Qiongfang feast was held at the Qingfeng Hall, but along the way, Xi Wanqing felt that something was wrong as he didn't see many people.

"Second sister, did we go the wrong way? Why didn't we see many people along the way?" Xi Wanqing tentatively asked Xi Zhuyan.

After Xi Zhuyan heard Xi Wanqing's question, she felt guilty for a moment, but she quickly covered it up and said, "Fifth sister, don't worry, sister remembers the way to Qingfeng Palace clearly, there will be no mistakes .”

"Oh." Xi Wanqing made a single sound and continued to follow Xi Zhuyan. In fact, she was aware of Xi Zhuyan's slight guilt just now.

The two spent another half a stick of incense. At this time, they happened to pass by a lotus pond. It was already the season for the lotus to bloom.

"Oh, Fifth Sister, Elder Sister left the silk she carried with her on the carriage. Qingfeng Hall is not far from here anyway. You go to the banquet one step earlier, and Elder Sister returns to the carriage to fetch the silk." The two walked away As she walked, Xi Zhuyan suddenly touched her body a few times, her expression seemed to be missing something, and then she told Xi Wanqing that she had left the silk she carried with her on the carriage.

When Xi Wanqing heard about it, she put on a very concerned look: "Second sister, anyway, there is still some time left before the banquet, so I'll go pick it up with you."

Xi Zhuyan immediately refused and said: "No need, this trip is tiring enough, sister can go alone, Qingfeng Palace is in front, you go alone first." He extended a hand to point out the direction for Xi Wanqing.

"Okay then, Second Sister, hurry up and come back." Xi Wanqing didn't say any more, she dared to say that the direction Xi Zhuyan was pointing at was not the Qingfeng Palace, she wanted to see if there were any monsters waiting in front of her she.

Xi Zhuyan left Xi Wanqing alone by the lotus pond, and returned the same way he came.

When Xi Zhuyan disappeared, Xi Wanqing continued to walk forward.

The Yunhua Palace is in front of me, I don't believe it, you little bitch can escape this time, there is a white figure hidden behind a rockery near the lotus pond, this person is undoubtedly Xi Zhuyan, in fact She didn't leave, nor did she leave any silk in the carriage.

Xi Zhuyan stared darkly at Xi Wanqing's back with a pair of eyes, with a sneer of a trick on her lips, watching Xi Wanqing approaching Yunhua Palace step by step, she walked away from the lotus pond.

Xi Wanqing walked a short distance and stopped in front of a palace. The surroundings of the palace were completely dark, except for two lanterns hanging at the entrance of the palace.

"Yunhua Palace." Xi Wanqing was a little away from the entrance of the palace, and could vaguely see the name of the palace.

This is a deserted palace. Although the palace is very deserted, the surrounding area has been cleaned very cleanly. There is not a single maid or eunuch around. It seems that this is an uninhabited palace.

Xi Wanqing stepped forward slightly, wanting to take a closer look.

"Stand there, don't move." Just as she was about to take a step forward, a familiar voice came from behind.

Xi Wanqing turned around and turned around, just in time to see Feng Yichen in a crescent-white robe, standing alone in the dark night, the night wind blew his black hair and the corners of his clothes, making him look a bit unearthly.

"Why are you here?" This was what Xi Wanqing asked after seeing him.

Feng Yichen's thin lips moved, and her voice was soft and shallow: "This is the palace where my mother and concubine lived." When Feng Yichen said these words, his expression seemed a little lonely.

Feng Yichen's biological mother is Concubine Yun. At that time, there were three thousand beauties in the palace of Nanheng Kingdom, but Emperor Xuande loved Concubine Yun by thousands of people. However, Concubine Yun did not enjoy the favor forever. Soon after the morning, the fragrance disappeared, and Emperor Xuande was very sad at that time, so he established the palace where Concubine Yun Gui lived as a forbidden area of ​​the palace. Except Emperor Xuande and Feng Yichen, no one was allowed to step into Yunhua Palace. Violators will be killed without mercy.

Seeing the sadness in Feng Yichen's eyes, Xi Wanqing felt somewhat apologetic for breaking into Concubine Yun's former palace: "I didn't mean to break into Yunhua Palace, I just got lost."

"There are many forbidden places in this palace. If you don't know the way in the future, don't wander around. If I come a step later, maybe your life will be gone today." Feng Yichen didn't blame Xi Wanqing at all, and spoke to her Her tone was still as gentle as jade, but she just reminded her not to wander around the palace.

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Chen." Xi Wanqing replied softly, and then narrowed her eyes slightly. It turned out that this Yunhua Palace was a forbidden place set up by the old emperor, and anyone who trespassed would die. Xi Zhuyan took her so far A circle, the purpose is here.

The two had just chatted for a few words, and then they heard a series of footsteps, followed by a group of palace guards in armor.

"My subordinates see His Highness King Chen." A group of guards knelt down on the ground in unison when they saw Feng Yichen.

Feng Yichen looked down, and said calmly: "Get up."

A group of guards stood up, but the leader of the guards asked: "His Royal Highness, my subordinates just saw someone break into Yunhua Palace from a distance."

Xi Wanqing looked at this group of guards, and was still a little startled in her heart. These guards came so fast, they were clearly in charge of guarding Yunhua Palace. Just now, she only thought that Xi Zhuyan must have made some trouble to harm her, but she didn't Thinking that Xi Zhuyan led her into the forbidden area of ​​the palace, if Feng Yichen hadn't arrived in time, she might have already entered Yunhua Palace.
