"No, Ninth Princess, something bad has happened..." Qing Yun was about to say something when a figure suddenly ran over in a hurry, and it was Huang Ying.

Lan Jue's face turned stern: "How unbecoming is it to be so panicked in public?" The princess has always been tolerant to them and allowed them to do whatever they want in the Luoxia Palace, but now that everyone is here, Huang Ying's rudeness will not spread if it spreads. , doesn’t it make people say that the princess is incompetent in educating her?

Huang Ying, who had already run in front of Qingyun, couldn't help but trembled, and hurriedly bowed her head and knelt down.

Qingyun glanced at the people with different expressions with her clear eyes. Qingyun looked at Huang Ying and said softly: "Tell me slowly, what exactly happened?"

"Back to the Ninth Princess." Huang Ying took a breath and said, "Concubine Zhang took advantage of the chaos and captured Prince Rui. After noticing this, Concubine Lin quietly followed her with Xiaolin. Green Po asked his slaves to come and report to the Ninth Princess. Some of Xia Palace's secret guards also gave chase."

"What?"

Qingyun and everyone were shocked and hurriedly looked around for Sima Rui. Sure enough, Sima Rui was nowhere to be seen, and their expressions changed.

"Princess, forgive me!" Zike suddenly knelt on the ground and apologized: "When I was ordered to encircle and suppress the traitors in Juechen Palace, I did not see Concubine Zhang. I searched the entire palace and found no trace of Concubine Zhang. I have neglected my duty, Princess." Punishment!"

Everyone knows that the princess cares about her relatives and siblings the most. She knew clearly that Concubine Zhang was coveting Prince Rui. She should have been vigilant and continued to investigate before she saw Concubine Zhang, and reported to the princess in time. Now because of her carelessness, Zhang was killed. The concubine took advantage of the chaos and captured Prince Rui. She really deserved death.

"Jiu'er, I will lead people to rescue Third Brother right now!" Sima Yue was worried.

Although Sima Qi felt sorry for Zike, the safety of his third brother was more important at the moment: "I'll go too!" As long as he rescued his third brother, Jiu'er would probably punish Zike lightly.

"Your crime of dereliction of duty will be judged by me later!" Qingyun's beautiful and elegant face was as cold as ice, and her brows were dyed with sharp edges: "Purple-clothed guards, Lan Yunqi listen to the order: follow me immediately. Go rescue Prince Rui and kill the remnants of Juechen Palace! The aftermath will be left to King Qi, Taifu Han and Marquis Hu Guo to take charge! Not a word about Prince Rui being kidnapped should be leaked to the outside world, especially Princess Rui, otherwise you will be severely punished! There is also Third Brother, send someone to find the whereabouts of Sixth Brother!"

Zhang Lianwu, if you dare to hurt Third Brother at all, I will crush you to ashes and you will never be reincarnated!

"Ninth Princess, this must not be done!" Taifu Han advised: "Although the civil strife has subsided, the aftermath is particularly important. The Ninth Princess is the successor to the new emperor, so she should be in charge of the overall situation in order to calm the people!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me any more!" The three brothers have paid too much for her in the past and present life, not to mention that Concubine Zhang got the Hualiu Virus. If...she will regret and blame herself for the rest of her life.

At this time, Ling'er suddenly said: "Where my sister is, there is Ling'er!"

"Bell..."

Without waiting for Qingyun to say anything, Ling'er said resolutely: "Before I left, my father, the princess, and the concubine repeatedly told me to make sure that my sister is considerate. My sister wouldn't have the heart to let Ling'er break her promise to her father, the princess, and the concubine, right?" And she had promised her brother. She must protect her sister-in-law. If her sister-in-law makes any mistake, how will she explain it to her brother? Of course, Ling'er can only say this in her heart.

Understanding that Ling'er meant well, Qingyun stopped trying to dissuade him and immediately led the purple guards and 50,000 blue cloud riders to leave the palace and follow them. Mo Xuan, Lan Jue and Wu Ying naturally followed him, as well as Yun Fei. , Zike, Sima Yue, Situ Jingyu, Linger and 20,000 black armored troops.

Following two different but consistent signs left along the road, Qingyun and his party rode fast day and night, and finally arrived at the foot of a mountain ten days later.

Lan Jue's expression changed slightly: "Isn't this Yunwu Mountain?"

Back then, she and Lu Po led 50,000 elite troops to destroy the underground palace hidden in Yunwu Mountain. How could Zhang Lianwu still escape here?

Looking up at Yunwu Mountain, which is shrouded in mist and filled with miasma, and the top of which is almost invisible, Qingyun's eyes are fierce, and there is a solemn sneer on the corner of his lips.

The so-called most dangerous place is also the safest place. Zhang Lianwu is really very scheming.

Instructing everyone to rest in place and hide their whereabouts, she took the water bag handed by Mo Xuan and drank slowly. Qingyun's expression was as calm as water, and her pair of dark eyes looked at Yunwu Mountain quietly, making it difficult for people to see what she was thinking.

"Jiu'er..."

Sima Yue was very worried about the safety of his third brother. After all, ten days had passed and they had arrived at the foot of Yunwu Mountain. Why didn't Jiu'er go to rescue his third brother immediately?

After winking at Sima Yue and telling him to calm down, Mo Xuan took out dry food for Qingyun to eat. His leisurely and peaceful demeanor was like the breeze in March, which miraculously calmed everyone's worried and anxious moods.

Sitting quietly not far from Qingyun, eating dry food in silence, Situ Jingyu felt sour and puzzled. The sour Qingyun and Mo Xuan were as affectionate as the sea, and wondered why Qingyun specially named him to come and suppress him. The remnants of the dust palace? Are you trying to make up for your mistakes? Or...

After about a cup of tea, there was a faint sound of rustling in the distant dense forest. A moment later, Green Po and several secret guards guarding Lin Yiwei's master and servant quietly appeared, and everyone who was originally on guard relaxed slightly.

Quickly walking up to Qingyun, several people knelt down and said respectfully: "I, my concubine (subordinate), meet the Ninth Princess!"

"Get up." He raised his hand to signal a few people to get up. Qingyun glanced at Lin Yiwei's master and servant, then looked at Lu Po: "What's the situation now?"

Green Po replied truthfully: "Princess, after Concubine Zhang returned here with less than 10,000 people, she ordered people to rearrange the mechanism. Her subordinates tried to sneak into the underground palace to rescue Prince Rui but all failed, so we had to Waiting for reinforcements to arrive, in addition, my subordinates have just intercepted a secret report sent from the underground palace. In addition to saying that Concubine Zhang is preparing to hold a ceremony to succeed the palace master at noon this afternoon, she and Prince Rui will be next. In addition to the wedding, there is also a picture showing the new signs of Yunwu Mountain and the underground palace."

With that said, Lu Po took out the secret report and a drawing and presented them to Qing Yun with both hands.

Mo Xuan took it and handed it to Qingyun. Qingyun opened it and raised the corner of her lips with a hint of a smile: "Zhang Lianwu is really in a good mood." When death was imminent, Zhang Lianwu was still so stubborn. I really don't know how to admire her. Perseverance? Or pity her for putting the cart before the horse?

Looking up at the warm sun in the blue sky, Qingyun said warmly: "It's still more than an hour before noon. You guys should have a good rest first." Then he looked back at Situ Jingyu: "General Situ, Concubine Lin is here. I leave it to you, make sure to ensure their safety."

"Ninth Princess..." Hearing that Qingyun actually asked him to protect Lin Yiwei's master and servant, Situ Jingyu couldn't help but look startled and opened his mouth to shirk. After all, he only cared about Qingyun's safety, but seeing Qingyun's With a secretive look in his eyes, he had no choice but to swallow all his words and lowered his eyes slightly to cover up the sourness and sadness in his eyes: "I will obey the decree!"

Qingyun naturally knew Situ Jingyu's thoughts very well, but she only had Mo Xuan in her heart. Since she could not respond to Situ Jingyu's affection, it would be the best thing to do to others and herself if she completely cut off his hope.

And she wanted to know what kind of feelings Lin Yiwei had for Situ Jingyu. According to Mingyue Secret Report, Lin Yiwei secretly sewed many robes for men of different ages, all of which were embroidered with the same robes that Situ Jingyu usually wore. Mo Zhu, and this time Lin Yiwei did not hesitate to go against the Lin family and Zhang Lianwu to protect the people in Luoxia Palace because of Situ Jingyu. They even noticed that Zhang Lianwu had kidnapped the third brother and followed him here regardless of his own safety.

Seeing Situ Jingyu's bitterness in his eyes, Lin Yiwei, who was standing next to him, looked at Qingyun, with a dark light of unknown intention flashing in his eyes.

Half an hour later, Qingyun assigned tasks to Sima Yue and others, and asked them to memorize the layout of the organs on the drawings. Mo Xuan also collected herbs to prevent miasma on the spot and gave them to everyone to take, and then Qingyun took Mo Xuan with him. , Lan Jue and Wuying walked quickly and secretly on the winding and narrow path.

The leafy woods make it almost impossible to see the blue sky. The smoke-like miasma is sometimes far away and sometimes near. The breeze blowing by is mixed with various smells. Occasionally, there is a rustling sound. The sound gives people a creepy feeling.

Mo Xuan and the others guarded Qing Yun carefully and vigilantly.

About three-quarters of an hour later, the four of them arrived at a cave halfway up the mountain marked on the drawing.

Mo Xuan drew out his soft sword and split open the branches and leaves that blocked the entrance of the cave. A bottomless secret passage suddenly appeared in front of the four of them. Mo Xuan entered the secret passage first, and at the same time took out a luminous pearl to illuminate the road. Qingyun walked in the middle. , Lan Jue and Wuying broke up.

Walking through this long dark passage, and then through a peach forest that is sometimes as deep as a cave, sometimes as violent as a tsunami, the world suddenly opens up, with green mountains standing quietly in the distance, flowers blooming nearby, and lush green grass, it is like a unique cave. location.

Following a path, the four of them soon arrived at the entrance to the main hall of the underground palace. They heard bursts of joy coming from inside, and Qingyun's face was as pure as frost.

The main hall was brightly lit, the red lanterns and the words "happy" were dazzlingly red, so red that we could cry.

Zhang Lianwu, dressed in a phoenix crown and harem, stood facing the door, with a shy and happy smile on her beautiful face, holding a piece of red silk in her hand. On the other end of the red silk, Sima Rui, who was wearing a bright red groom's costume, was supported by two Juechen palace people. , there was no expression on his stern face, his pupils were bottomless, and his eyes were as silent as water.

There were about a hundred Juechen Palace people watching the ceremony. Guardian Zuo and Zhu Hall Master were present. As for Fenglei, the two Hall Masters had died in the palace siege.

Looking at his subordinates who were sending blessings one after another, and at Zhang Lianwu who was trying to seize the position of Palace Master through despicable means, Protector Zuo had a strange dark light flashing in his eyes, and then he raised his voice and said: "The auspicious time has come. Come, the newlyweds worship heaven and earth!"

Zhang Lianwu bowed to the heaven and earth, and two Juechen palace men also forcibly escorted Sima Rui to salute.

"It seems that I have come at the right time!"
