Chapter 56 The defecting fox

A moment of time.

Tang Xi got on the carriage heading to the palace.

The second quarter of Youshi.

The carriage arrived outside the palace.

At the same time, two single maids who were out of the palace to buy jewelry passed by a stall selling jewelry. One of the women looked exactly like the woman in the portrait.

Another woman who was traveling with her called her, "Si'er, let's go over there and have a look."

"OK."

The two of them turned into a deserted alley.

Si'er was a little scared and shrank her neck, "Xiaoluo, are we in the wrong place?"

"No!" Xiaoluo smiled lightly, raised his hand, turned it into a knife, and slashed it from the back of her neck. Si'er endured the severe pain, looked at her with a puzzled look for the last time, and fell softly to the ground.

Two men dressed as beggars came out of the shadows and carried her away.

The two sides looked at each other, and Xiaoluo walked quickly towards the end of the street.

Tang Xi's carriage suddenly stopped there.

Tang Xi sat quietly in the car, half-closed eyes, waiting for the palace maid to come.

There were stones hitting the car window, once, twice.

Tang Xi's eyes were sharp and he took off his cloak.

"Miss, be sure to pay attention to safety." Baozhen gave her last instruction, which was more like a prayer than an instruction.

"Don't worry, go back home and wait for me."

After leaving a few words, Tang Xi jumped off the carriage neatly and met Xiaoluo who was waiting outside.

He took a bunch of purchased groceries from her hands, pretended to be a palace maid going out to do the shopping, and entered the palace city smoothly.

Along the way, both of them were silent.

Tang Xi carefully looked around and compared it with the places in his memory.

Halfway through, a young eunuch came over. Xiaoluo took all the sundries from her hands and left without saying a word.

Tang Xi turned and followed the little eunuch.

I met many palace maids and eunuchs along the way, but they all remained silent and no one noticed them.

There are endless red walls and black tiles, and every palace passage is exactly the same. Fortunately, Tang Xi had been to the palace as the third lady of the Earl of Xianchang and attended several palace banquets, so she was not confused.

Tang Xi thought of something and asked aloud: "If we investigate later, will you be exposed?"

The little eunuch kept his head down and moved forward unchanged, opening and closing his mouth, "We have been exposed."

Tang Xi was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Everyone who participated in this operation has been targeted by Dali Temple. After this mission is completed, we will return to our headquarters."

Tang Xi was shocked and found his voice, "So, me too?"

"Yes." The little eunuch said seriously, "Class A killer No. 1, 2, and 2 gave your information to Pei Youxi a month ago."

The same Yanmen member is responsible for No. 1, 2, 2 and No. 14.

Number one, two, two?

A mean face appeared in Tang Xi's mind, and he gritted his teeth.

Lei Rong!

It’s him again!!

Now she has another reason to live, she must tear him alive!

"Where is he now? Did the government just let him go?"

"He has defected and his whereabouts are still unknown."

Defect? ​​Tang Xi didn't expect that a boy who was more crying than Xiao Xi would have the courage to defect. In Yongye Pavilion, there were many people who defected, but the consequences were more miserable than the last.

If he is captured, his body may be cramped and skinned, or his body may be left without any bones.

If he is not captured, there is no antidote, and he will die of heart failure within a month.

The anger subsided, "One month has passed and there is no antidote. He must be dead."

The little eunuch said: "He stole thirty antidotes from the master of the pavilion."

Thirty pills, two and a half years of life.

He is quite witty and courageous.

He is probably the first person in history to steal things from Ning Yanxi and still survive.

"Do you know why he defected?" Tang Xi thought thoughtfully. She had known Lei Rong for many years, and they were both enemies and friends in the training camp. This man was just a fox.

They look alike, and their personalities are even more similar. How could such a cunning, cunning, and adaptable person choose to defect because of his confusion?!

Leaving Yongye Pavilion, he not only faces the pursuit of countless killers, but also faces a life span of only two and a half years. It is not a wise decision for anyone.

"I don't know." The little eunuch shook his head.

Tang Xi calmed down and stopped asking any more questions.

At this time, sounds of greetings came one after another from the front.

Tang Xi looked around and saw that it was the prince.

He came against the light, with a slender figure, wearing a pressed dark blue python robe, with gorgeous and complex golden four dragon patterns embroidered on the corners and cuffs of the robe, a rhinoceros horn belt around his waist, and a white jade pendant.

He walked casually, with the guards following behind him.

Tang Xi retreated calmly, made way for the middle of the road, lowered her head, bowed her knees and saluted, her manners and movements were no different from those of ordinary palace maids.

He lowered his eyes and waited for Prince Feng Qizhou to pass by.

He suddenly stopped and glanced at the woman who was saluting in front of him with his narrow eyes.

Tang Xi looked at the pair of black deerskin boots in front of him and frowned.

Did the prince recognize her? Or did the prince recognize Si'er? No matter which possibility it was, it was not good news for Tang Xi.

"Raise your head." Feng Qizhou said, his clear voice coming from the top of his head, Tang Xi clenched his fingertips.

The little eunuch beside Tang Xi swallowed nervously.

Things are a little bad now!

Is it possible that the prince knows Si'er? It shouldn't be, he denies himself.

When he originally chose Si'er, one of the reasons why he chose Si'er was that she had a small presence in the palace. She always stayed in the imperial dining room and had almost no chance to interact with the prince's concubines.

Where is the prince making such a fuss?

Slowly raising his head, Tang Xi looked at Feng Qizhou.

The princes of the Tian family are indeed good-looking.

Although she had seen him many times at palace banquets, this was the first time she had observed him so closely.

He has picturesque features and extraordinary handsomeness, but his majestic air of superiority makes people ignore his perfect face.

Prince Feng Qizhou, this is the person her father has been following.

Feng Qizhou looked quietly at the barely visible face, his long eyes slightly narrowed, and there was quite a lot of meaning in his eyes.

Tang Xi always felt that this expression was a bit mean, and she seemed to have seen it somewhere, and it looked familiar.

She wanted to take a closer look, but Feng Qizhou had already looked away, leaving a vague sneer, and walked away with the people behind him.

Tang Xi stared at his back in confusion, a strange feeling enveloped his heart.

"Girl, it's time to go, don't miss the time." The little eunuch reminded her in her ear.

Tang Xi regained consciousness, suppressed her doubts in her heart, and followed the little eunuch to the imperial dining room.
