The Stratagem of the Concubine of the Cold King

Chapter 22
After finishing the work, Xi Wanqing took Lian Xin to buy some medicinal materials, daily expenses, etc., and returned to the Hou Mansion.

With a frustrated look on his face, Lei Jian knelt down in front of Gong Xingyan: "Master, my subordinates are not doing well, and I have lost Fifth Miss."

"En." Gong Xingyan said kindly, neither punishing him nor pardoning him.

Lei Jian didn't know, but that master had expected this at all, so that master didn't react much.

"The last time I asked you to investigate, what was the result?" Gong Xingyan said lightly.

Lei Jian was waiting for his father to punish him, but his father still had a calm expression on his face, he was holding a heart, and he didn't let it go, and he didn't let it go.

Lei Jian bit the bullet and replied: "It has been found out that it was the second concubine and Xi Zhuqin of An Guohou's mansion who planted the blame."

"Very good." Gong Xingyan spat out two words, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the temperature in the air instantly dropped several degrees.

Lei Jian looked at his grandfather, and he actually smiled. This kind of smile was rarely seen by him, it was the devil's smile.

"Go and treat these two women well." Gong Xingyan turned the wrench in his hand and ordered coldly.

The black clothes, the golden flame mask, the evil smile, the incomparably monstrous face, and the powerful aura, make people breathless, even if Lei Jian has followed him all the year round Feel great pressure.

Seeing such a powerful master, Lei Jian was willing to submit, and replied respectfully: "Yes, my subordinates will definitely treat these two women well."

"Back down." Gong Xingyan ordered Lei Jian to back down.

"Yes, Master." Lei Jian stood up, turned around and left the room, feeling his scalp relax a lot. He thought that Master would punish him, but unexpectedly, he passed the test so easily, and he suddenly felt better.

"Don't be too happy, if things go wrong again, deal with them more severely." Gong Xingyan's words broke through the door and reached Lei Jian's ears like a magic voice.

Lei Jian, who had just walked not far, staggered, and was in a good mood, and was smashed into slag immediately.

Three days later, Xi Wanqing went to Nongjiao Pavilion as agreed to retrieve the imitation Supreme Beauty.

As soon as Xi Wanqing walked to the door of Nongjiao Pavilion, Qin Zhong came out to greet her in person.

"Young master, you are here, please come inside."

Xi Wanqing followed Qin Zhong into the Nongjiao Pavilion, and said politely: "Pavilion Master Qin, I'm here to pick up that set of jewelry today, may I ask if it's finished?"

Qin Zhong replied with a smile: "I have already prepared it for the young master, and I will wait for the young master to pick it up."

"Come here, go and get the set of jewelry that the young master wants."

A clerk took the lead and quickly fetched the jewellery.

Xi Wanqing opened the box, and there were a pair of lifelike butterflies and a pair of golden ostriches lying inside.

"It's so similar, it's exactly the same, it's fake." Xi Wanqing looked at this set of imitations, she was very satisfied in her heart, and praised secretly. It has this capital.

Xi Wanqing accepted the box, and said gratefully: "I would like to thank Pavilion Master Qin here. With this set of jewelry as a birthday gift, my lord mother will definitely be happy."

After the two of them were polite, Xi Wanqing left Nongjiao Pavilion with that set of imitation supreme confidante.

In the evening, Xi Wanqing climbed into bed early, and did not let Lian Xin keep watch, and told Lian Xin to leave.

After Lian Xin left, Xi Wanqing got up from the bed, put on the night clothes she had prepared earlier, and walked out of Ziyuexuan lightly.

Although this body is extremely weak, but after getting five taels of silver from Xi Zhuyan, her living standard in the past few days is pretty good. In addition, she practices hard every morning, and her body has recovered to a good extent. His skills are not as good as before, but at least he has recovered a little bit.

Xi Wanqing was dressed in night clothes, which blended into the night. In addition to the night, most of the servants went to rest, leaving only the general on duty at night and the maidservant at night. She was slender and easy to hide, and her movements were quick and agile. It was easy to escape the patrolling generals, enter the lotus courtyard, and accurately touch Xi Zhuyan's room.

At this time, there are no lights in the lotus courtyard, so it can be seen that Xi Zhuyan has already fallen asleep.

Xi Wanqing lay on the window, pierced the window paper with her index finger, and looked into the house through the hole.

I saw that Xi Zhuyan was sleeping soundly on the carved and embroidered bed, and the veil-like veil hung gently in front of the bed, adding a bit of artistic conception to Xi Zhuyan's sleeping posture.

Next to the carved and embroidered bed, there was a small couch, and Lian Xiang, the maid on duty at night, was sleeping on it, and she seemed to be sleeping deeply.

Xi Wanqing took out the incense from her bosom, lit it, and blew the incense into the room through the hole in the window paper.

The two of them, Xi Zhuyan, were already in a deep sleep, but now they inhaled Mixiang, and they had long since fallen asleep.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, Xi Wanqing lightly pried open the latch with a knife, stepped into the room, and then gently closed the door.

Although the room is very dark, Xi Wanqing can vaguely see that Xi Zhuyan's room is extremely luxuriously decorated, compared with Ziyuexuan, it is like a sky and a ground.

Xi Wanqing rummaged through a few boxes lightly, but found no trace of the Supreme Confidante.

"Where will Xi Zhuyan hide it?" Xi Wanqing secretly guessed, and suddenly a picture of a lady on the wall attracted her.

She walked towards the painting of the lady gently, and then slowly lifted it up. After removing the painting of the lady, a dark pavilion appeared on the wall.

Xi Wanqing opened the dark cabinet, took out the box in the dark cabinet, opened the box, and the inside of the box was shining golden.

"Sure enough, it is the Supreme Confidante, who was hidden so well by Xi Zhuyan." After Xi Wanqing got the Supreme Confidante, she was very happy.

She took out the real Supreme Confidante from the box and hid it in her bosom, then put the imitation set back in the dark cabinet as it was, put down the picture of the lady, and quietly left Xi Zhuyan's room.

After Xi Wanqing left the lotus courtyard, she wanted to go back to Ziyuexuan as soon as possible to continue her beauty sleep, so she quickened her pace unconsciously, her agile figure shuttled through the night, like an elf in the dark.

The South Courtyard is adjacent to the West Courtyard, Xiwanqing needs to pass through the West Courtyard when returning to Ziyuexuan.

At this time, the Xikua courtyard was extremely lively, especially the Xingyuan, and bursts of screams came out.

"Ah, snake."

"Ah, mice, there are so many bugs."

"Ah, ah, ah..."

In Xingyuan, Second Auntie and Xi Zhuqin hugged each other, screaming, and the maids were all pale and trembling.

"Shushasha..." That's right, this is the sound of a group of snakes swimming.

In the apricot courtyard, there are dense patches of snakes, estimated to be hundreds of them, each snake wriggles and crawls into the house like a stimulant, and some of them keep spitting out letters.

"Chichichi..." Among the snakes, there was a large group of furry and black mice scurrying around. Some snakes even started to prey on the mice. Swallow, in addition to snakes and mice, the ground is also covered with some unknown insects, that scene really makes people panic.
