Rebirth of the Poisonous Girl

Yun Fei, Yun Feng, and Long Ying led the purple guards to carefully search every corner of the courtyard.

Wuying carefully inspected the body of the deputy hall master, while Zike and Muxue were guarding Qingyun.

"The soul-chasing incense developed by Mr. Mo is really powerful. Even the Juechen palace people who often deal with various drugs are not aware of it at all, and people who come into contact with it will be infected without knowing it, and they will be infected for several hours. It won’t fade away.” Zike praised.

After hearing this, Qingyun smiled faintly: "The medicine developed by Mo Xuan is very powerful, but if the man in black had not kidnapped Gong Yingjie, or if Gong Yingjie had changed all his clothes from the inside out, we would have been unable to track him." Fortunately, she had been there before. Thinking of this, someone put the soul-chasing incense on Gong Yingjiri's clothes.

They followed the soul-chasing incense and first found dozens of people in black and Gong Yingjie hiding there. Then they rushed to Yipinxiang, but the leading man in black was still missing. Then they chased them here, but it was still a step too late and the man in black died. , the clue is cut off.

After Wuying inspected the body of the deputy hall master, he pulled out the bloody dagger and handed it to Qingyun.

"Master, the man in black's blood has not coagulated, and his body is still warm. It seems that he died not long ago and was stabbed in the center without any precautions. From this, it can be seen that the murderer is either someone familiar to the man in black. Either the person's martial arts skills were better than that of the man in black, and the man in black was killed before he had time to react."

"Your analysis makes sense." Qingyun nodded and said, "But I think that person should be someone familiar to the man in black, and most likely it is the Right Protector who has never shown up."

Zike and Wuying looked at Qingyun doubtfully.

"First, judging from the current position and injury of the man in black, he should have been kneeling in front of the person sitting on the chair at that time, so the wound would have taken on a top-down shape, because the incident suddenly stabbed the center pulse, so the man in black naturally fell here without any reaction, which shows that the identity of that man is higher than that of the man in black;

Secondly, look at this dark iron dagger. It should be made of the same material as the dagger Lin Han gave me. It has been specially refined. The cold light of the blade is breathtaking. It can cut iron like mud and blow hair to make decisive decisions. It is the best. Look at the two gems on the handle, one red and one blue, symbolizing the sun and the moon. There is no flaw in the whole body. It is also the best among gems. People who can use this kind of dagger will never be ordinary. people;

Thirdly, the left guardian of Juechen Palace and the five hall masters have fallen into our hands. The bamboo hall master and Feng Qingshang are together. There are only two hall masters, right protector and Feng Lei, left. The right protector sneaked into the capital years ago but has not yet been able to do so. There is no trace, so I guess this person should be the Right Protector."

After a pause, Qingyun continued: "Gong Yingjie has been imprisoned in Bingquan Palace for more than a month, and the right protector has not made any move, either because he was blocked by something, or he didn't bother to use Gong Yingjie and the evidence in his hand;

Therefore, the kidnapping of Gong Yingjie should have been done by the man in black without authorization, and then he sneaked back into the small courtyard to report to the Right Protector to apologize. The Right Protector noticed that we were following our trail, so he killed him ruthlessly to distract us. and delaying time, taking the opportunity to escape;

Muxue did not issue a warning, which means..."

Zike understood instantly: "It means there is a secret passage in this room. The right protector escaped from the secret passage, so we didn't find anyone coming out of the small courtyard."

At this time, Muxue suddenly rubbed her head against the hem of Qingyun's skirt, then ran to a corner and sniffed, and then called Qingyun a few times.

"Muxue, did you discover something?"

Nodding the wolf's head, Muxue scratched the ground beneath her with her front paws.

Qingyun and the other three looked at each other and then walked to the corner and searched carefully.

Soon, Qingyun discovered that in the corner of the wall next to the ground, there was a half-hand-sized piece of wall that was much lighter than the surrounding color. Qingyun reached out and tried to press that spot, and the wall there moved inward. Then there was a sound on the ground behind him.

"Sure enough, there is a secret passage."

He ordered a group of purple-clothed guards to strictly guard the small courtyard and not allow anyone to approach. Yun Fei and Long Ying led five or six purple-clothed guards holding torches and swords and entered the secret passage first. Zike and Muxue protected Qingyun and walked in the middle. Wu Ying and Yun Feng led the remaining purple-clad guards to the rear, and the group walked cautiously and cautiously in the narrow, winding, dark passage that stretched for unknown lengths.

"Ahead is the end of the secret passage, everyone, be careful!"

Yun Fei, who was walking at the front, suddenly turned around and reminded everyone, and then he and Long Ying clenched their weapons and moved step by step towards the entrance of the secret passage.

After exiting the secret passage, everyone's expressions changed when they saw the scene in front of them.

Qingyun closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, it was as deep as the sea. The bright moonlight and swaying firelight reflected her beautiful face, but her expression could not be seen clearly.

Although she didn't come here many times, she also knew that this was a secluded back house far away from the main courtyard of Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Princess..." Zike and Wuying looked at Qingyun with worried faces.

Unexpectedly, the end of the secret passage is actually the backyard of Prince Rui's Mansion. If the right protector is really lurking in Prince Rui's Mansion with the intention of doing harm to Prince Rui, the princess will definitely be worried and angry because she cares about Prince Rui.

The guards who patrolled the night discovered the whereabouts of Qing Yun and others: "Who are they? How dare you break into Prince Rui's Mansion at night and capture them all!" When the guards who gathered around saw Qing Yun's face clearly, they were so shocked that their expressions changed and they hurriedly knelt down. He bowed to the ground and said: "I'll wait and see the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess is a thousand years old!"

"About half a stick of incense has passed before you discovered that I and others have arrived. Is this how you protect the safety of Prince Rui's Mansion?" Looking directly at the palace guards kneeling on the ground with clear eyes, Qingyun said coldly: "What if This time we are not here, but the real enemy. If something happens to Prince Rui and Princess Rui, will you be able to shoulder this responsibility?"

"I acknowledge my guilt and ask for mercy from the Ninth Princess!" A dozen guards lowered their heads in shame: If it was really an enemy's sneak attack and something happened to the prince and princess, they would never be able to atone for their sins!

But why did the Ninth Princess suddenly come to the palace late at night and appear in this secluded backyard? Could there really be an enemy sneaking in?

Looking at the guards who bowed their heads and confessed their sins, Qingyun neither asked them to get up nor reprimanded them, but there was a deep sullen aura permeating her whole body. If there was an invisible pressure, the guards felt shortness of breath and chills to the bones. The pain in the soles of the feet quickly spread to the top of the head, and even the teeth could not help but chatter.

"Before my arrival, did you find any suspicious people sneaking into the palace from here?"

"Subordinate, wait..."

Just as the leading guard was about to reply, Sima Rui suddenly rushed over from a distance. It was obvious that there was still some distance, but in the blink of an eye, Sima Rui had already arrived in front of Qingyun, wearing a blue jade crown with black hair tied up, and light blue brocade. The robe made him tall and tall, and his usually stern face was now soft, but his dark eyes were shining with joy and doubt. It seemed that he had not gone to bed yet, and he rushed over as soon as he heard Qingyun's arrival.

A Jun, the close guard, was a few steps behind, followed by the housekeeper, who was running out of breath with a lantern.

After a while, Xu Kexin hurried over from the other direction with her maid Yuechan. Her long hair was devoid of any headgear, and her beautiful face was even more elegant and gentle in the bright moonlight.

Seeing that Xu Kexin's embroidered shoes seemed to be worn backwards, she had obviously fallen asleep. After hearing the news, she didn't pay attention in her hurry. Qingyun frowned slightly, especially noticing that there was a hint of melancholy between Xu Kexin's eyebrows, which was different from that of her third brother. Coming in the direction, his eyes could not help but darken slightly.

"It's so late, why did Jiu'er come to this backyard?" Seeing Qingyun's thin clothes, Sima Rui hurriedly took off his coat and put it on her.

Qing Yun originally wanted to return the coat to Sima Rui, but when she saw his worried and pitiful eyes, she gave up. She stepped forward and took Xu Kexin's arm, saying with an apology on her face: "Jiu'er came here rashly and disturbed the third brother and the family." Sister-in-law Sanhuang is taking a rest, I’m really sorry.”

"When Jiu'er comes to the house, the prince and I will naturally welcome you, but don't say anything apologetic about disturbing us." Xu Kexin glanced at Sima Rui quietly, and saw that his eyes were only on Qingyun, and a hint of sadness disappeared in his eyes, and then He smiled and said to Qingyun: "Why don't Jiu'er come in through the front door so that we can pick you up?"

"The third brother and the third emperor's wife didn't know something. People from Juechen Palace broke into Bingquan Palace at night and kidnapped Gong Yingjie. We tracked all the way to a house in the city, and then followed a secret passage in the house to get here."

When Sima Rui and Xu Kexin heard this, their expressions condensed: This matter is not a trivial matter, the remnants of the Juechen Palace must be uncovered, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"A Jun, summon everyone in the palace to come here immediately." Sima Rui turned his eyes and stared at the guards who were kneeling on the ground to watch the night: "Have you found any suspicious people sneaking into the palace?"

The guards obviously realized that this matter was of great importance. The leading guard said truthfully: "Back to the prince, my subordinates have not found any suspicious people sneaking into the palace. I have neglected my duty. Please punish me!"

Seeing Sima Rui's gloomy face and the cold light shining in his eyes, Qingyun hurriedly said: "Third brother! That man's whereabouts are secretive and his martial arts is very strong. It's normal that the guards didn't notice him." Although he was angry, someone secretly dug up such a thread. She secretly said that they knew nothing about it, but they were Third Brother's trusted subordinates, and she couldn't bear it.

"I would like to express my gratitude to the Ninth Princess for your kindness, but I am really guilty of a serious crime, and even if I die, I cannot atone for my sin!" Almost at the same time, more than a dozen guards pulled out the weapons from their waists to apologize with death.

Unexpectedly, after two figures, one black and one purple, moved like ghosts, they were unable to move, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground. After following Prince Rui for many years, they naturally knew that those two people were Long Ying, the secret guard beside the Ninth Princess. There is also the newly appointed commander of the Purple Guards, Yun Fei.

"Ninth Princess..."

"Third brother has always regarded you as family and brothers, but you are so easy to draw your sword and kill yourself. Do you deserve the trust and friendship of third brother?" Qingyun Qingling said: "If you think that death can solve the problem, then I will not Stop it again!"
