Chapter 412 Finding Xiao Pei

Dong Zang said, "The Crown Princess had a stomachache last night and was so uncomfortable that she didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. She should not have woken up yet."

Chen Wu asked with concern, "The Crown Princess is feeling unwell. Has a doctor been asked to see her? I'm remiss in not knowing such an important matter."

Dong Zang smiled, "Jingyang came to see me last night. It was just a pregnancy reaction, but it's nothing serious. The Crown Princess didn't want to alarm everyone, so Steward Chen doesn't need to blame himself."

"It's good as long as there's no hindrance. It's good as long as there's no hindrance."

Chen Wu breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll have someone keep the food warm and bring it back when the two masters wake up."

"Thank you, Butler Chen."

Chen Wu smiled and exchanged pleasantries with him.

When he turned around, the smile in his eyes instantly turned cold.

On the second night, a man and a woman in night clothes came out of the small door with Po Sha, followed closely by a dozen black-clad secret guards.

Not long after the two left, a black shadow jumped down from the tree. After a moment of silence, it turned and walked towards Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu's yard.

Seeing that the lights in the two people's room had been turned off, the black shadow seemed worried and bravely sneaked into the house. The courtyard that was usually heavily guarded was surprisingly deserted tonight. Except for a few dozing old women and maids, there was not a single secret guard.

As expected, there was no one on the bed. The black shadow tiptoed back to his room quietly. After he left, Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu walked out from the darkness.

After daybreak, housekeeper Chen Wu looked at the cold breakfast thoughtfully.

The third night.

Two figures, a man and a woman, went out again. After the two went out, the black shadow went to their room again to make sure that no one was in the room. Then he went to Wei Shijun's yard cautiously.

He had just left when he saw a woman meditating on a low couch by the window in the candlelight, with her back to the outside.

After he left, Wei Qingyan, who pretended to be Wei Shijun, and Shi Yu, who was sitting in the dark, also went out using light skills.

At the same time, at Princess Qingyin's mansion.

A young man dressed in black came to Prince Consort Song's stable, "Father, there's news from over there. They've gone out again, this time heading towards the mass grave outside the city."

Prince Consort Song, who was sitting in the armchair, slowly raised his head and asked his son Song Zhijing, "Have you arranged everything?"

The Queen only gave him ten days to get Po Sha. Originally, he was worried about how to get Po Sha from the Prince's Mansion.

However, he didn't expect that Posha actually needed to absorb resentment regularly. Wei Qingyan had to take Posha out with him at night these days. How could he dare to miss such a good opportunity.

But he also suspected that this was a setup, so he waited for two days. Tonight was the last night that Wei Qingyan and the others would go out, so the opportunity must not be missed.

"It's arranged."

Song Zhijing said respectfully, "Father, let me go in your place tonight. Your previous injuries haven't fully healed yet, and I want to take this opportunity to vent my anger for you."

"Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu are both extremely skilled in martial arts. You are no match for them." Prince Consort Song refused.

He only has one son, Jing'er, and he doesn't want him to take this risk.

Moreover, he was holding a grudge in his heart, and it was hard for him to get over it unless Wei Qingyan and the others suffered.

Seeing his father's refusal, Song Zhijing knelt down and said, "Father, we are well prepared, and with the help of two great masters, we are determined to get the Sha Breaker tonight.

The son has been studying martial arts diligently for many years, never slacking off, all for the purpose of becoming his father's right-hand man one day. The son doesn't want to hide behind his father all the time.

If you and I, father and son, work together tonight and seize the opportunity to capture Wei Qingyan, wouldn't that be a great achievement?

This way, Your Majesty won't have to work with Chi Lie to capture Wei Qingyan. Father, please let your son go."

Fearing that Prince Consort Song would refuse again, he took a step back.

"Father, I think what you said makes sense. No matter how powerful Wei Qingyan is, she is only this strong. If Shi Yu and Liang Yongan hadn't come to rescue her last time, she would have been caught.

Tonight, Shi Yu is with her, but there are no reinforcements to rescue them."

Princess Rong'an entered carrying a tray. "Father, this is the soup I personally spent two hours cooking. Please try it."

She brought the bowl to Prince Consort Song with admiration on her face.

Prince Consort Song looked at the stain on his daughter's sleeve and said with relief, "You are thoughtful."

Then he looked at Song Zhijing and said, "Well, you can go with me tonight. But remember, listen to your father and don't be reckless. Those two are definitely not good people."

My son really should go out and gain some experience. I think nothing will go wrong with him taking care of us.

Rong An winked at his brother.

Song Zhijing said happily, "I will never let my father down. When I catch Wei Qingyan, I will personally beat the baby out of her belly to avenge my father."

Prince Consort Song looked at his two children and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. How could he not see that his daughter came tonight to speak for her brother.

He only has two children, and he is naturally happy to see that the siblings can get along so harmoniously and help each other.

Little did he know that Rong An had his own thoughts.

Ever since Prince Consort Song failed to capture Wei Qingyan, the Queen took her anger out on Rong An and put a poison on her. She felt that in the Queen's eyes, Prince Consort Song was actually a chess piece that could be discarded at any time.

That's why she thought of letting her brother show up in front of the empress. In this way, even if her father lost power, she would still have her brother to rely on.

However, she didn't know that her brilliant plan was doomed to fail when she met Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu.

After the Song father and son left, Rong An returned to his room, took a shower and changed his clothes, then sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, staring at his neck in the mirror.

The area was as white as usual, but she could clearly feel the movement under her skin, a feeling that made her feel both nauseous and frightened.

The time she spent with Xiao Zhian these days gave her an idea: she wanted to marry Xiao Zhian.

This man is stupid and easy to manipulate, but he is the son that the queen cares about.

The queen will eventually grow old, and everything she has planned will be handed over to Xiao Zhian in the future. If she becomes Xiao Zhian's wife, she can become the second Lin Wanzhi.

Instead of relying on others, it is better to take your destiny firmly into your own hands, and even control the destiny of others.

She knew very well how well prepared her father and brother were this time. The Crown Princess was missing and the Crown Prince was seriously injured. Xiao Zhian must be very sad.

She is currently working in the palace. Once the palace gates open, she will enter and stay by Xiao Zhian's side, offering him some comfort...

Xiao Zhian didn't know that he was being targeted. At this moment, he was taking Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu to the prayer tower to avoid the palace servants.

The Crown Prince and his sister-in-law suddenly appeared in his bedroom in the middle of the night. If he hadn't been so worried recently and awake, he would have been frightened by them and screamed out loud.

"It's here." Xiao Zhian pointed to a high wall and whispered to the two.

The last time his brother and sister-in-law told him about their mother, they mentioned that there might be some secrets hidden in the palace.

He thought about his past years one by one.

Since he was born, he has been the only little master in the palace. There is no place in the palace that he is not familiar with and cannot go to.

The only place he would be stopped whenever he approached was the prayer tower. There was also another place, which was his mother's bedroom. Although he could go there, he was always accompanied by a group of people and was never allowed to stay alone.

If there really were any secrets in the palace, he thought they might be in these two places.

We can’t go to the Queen Mother’s bedroom at this time, so we can only bring them here to take a look.

He also wanted to know what other filthy things were happening in this palace.

Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu did not inform Xiao Zhian in advance because they were worried that Xiao Zhian was naive and would reveal his thoughts.

Tonight, the Queen's men will go to the mass grave to rob Po Sha. To ensure success, they will certainly send a lot of people out, and the defense in the palace may be relaxed.

As she expected, the two of them followed the layout of the palace and the route that Lin Lanting had described and successfully reached Zhi'an's bedroom.

Zhi'an told them about the two places he suspected, and brought them to the prayer tower. Wei Qingyan then signaled Xiao Zhi'an to go back first to prevent him from taking risks with them.

Xiao Zhian shook his head and whispered, "I'll go with you."

If they were discovered, he would at least be there to block them, and the Queen Mother's men would not dare to hurt him.

Seeing that he insisted, the two men looked at each other, and one of them grabbed Xiao Zhian's arm, took him over the high wall, and jumped into the enclosure.

There is no scenery inside the wall, only a stove placed in the middle of the yard, which should be used to burn incense when praying.

The three of them had nowhere to hide, so they took advantage of the night to hide their bodies by sticking to the wall.

Similarly, this empty courtyard could not hide the secret guards, so the three of them looked up at the prayer tower at the same time.

If anyone is hiding, he must be hiding in the tower.

The tower is round and three stories high. The first floor has only one door and no windows. There are a few windows on the second floor near the third floor, one of which is ajar and not closed.

For the two people who are excellent in lightness skills, it is not difficult to get up.

But Xiao Zhian held on tightly to Shi Yu's clothes, fearing that they would abandon him, so the two of them had no choice but to carry him and climb up to the windowsill using their lightness skills.

The three of them held their breath for a moment, not noticing any other presence, so Wei Qingyan quietly stuck his head out and looked into the room.

She saw a man lying flat on the bed, and almost subconsciously, she determined that it was Xiao Pei.

Looking around the room again and seeing no one else there, she gently pushed the window open a little and slipped in quietly.

Shi Yu followed closely behind, and then pulled Xiao Zhian in as well.

Xiao Zhian didn't expect that there was someone imprisoned in the tower. He was so shocked that he covered his mouth, but he was really curious and couldn't help but move forward.

When he saw the person on the bed clearly by the candlelight, his head suddenly ached, and many memories came flooding back...
