Chapter 518: We promise to make you successful in the future

Mo Jiuye raised his sword and slashed, and before the two eunuchs who were dragging Qi Changshun could react, they were already dead.

Qi Changshun was tied up tightly and lost the strength to drag him, so he collapsed to the ground in an instant.

Just when he was about to let out a cry of pain, Mo Jiuye's knife was already against his neck.

"If you don't want to die, don't scream."

Qi Changshun had been with Emperor Shunwu for a long time, so he had the ability to judge the situation, especially when it came to life and death, so he naturally did not dare to act rashly.

Seeing that he understood what was going on, Mo Jiuye put away the knife.

Qi Changshun lowered his head, not daring to look at the person who came, and his eyes were fixed on his feet.

However, he could see in the moonlight that the person in front of him was also dressed as a eunuch. From this he could be sure that this person was also in the palace, but he didn't know where he worked specifically, and his voice was also unfamiliar.

"I don't know where you work, but if you can save my life, I promise to make you a successful person in the future."

Mo Jiuye snorted disdainfully.

"Manager Qi, please think about whether you can survive first!"

Qi Changshun shuddered unconsciously when he heard his words. He tried to remain calm and said:

"Since you have killed the Queen's men, it means you are not in cahoots with them, so I know you won't hurt me."

Mo Jiuye had known this person for a long time. He was a cunning person and was used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak all day long.

However, Qi Changshun's character had nothing to do with him. If she hadn't wanted to get some information from him, she wouldn't have bothered with this matter.

"Let me ask you, where is the emperor now?"

When it comes to the emperor, Qi Changshun no longer pretends to be a coward.

Whether for his own future prospects or out of true loyalty, he raised his head and looked at Mo Jiuye.

He really didn't know the person in front of him, and the person who might ask such a question could probably be no one else except King Qi's men.

After all, the one who was most threatened by this incident was Prince Qi.

"Hurry up and report to His Royal Highness Prince Qi that the Emperor is not in good condition. He and the Empress Dowager are both imprisoned in a secret room in Fengxi Palace.

The Empress Dowager was old and had passed away three days ago. The Queen had ordered that her body not be collected and had deliberately placed it in the same room with the Emperor.

Fortunately, the Emperor is still useful to the Empress now. If not, he would probably be trapped to death like the Empress Dowager..."

Qi Changshun kept chattering there, but Mo Jiuye felt that the only sentence that was useful to him was that Emperor Shunwu was imprisoned in a secret room in Fengxi Palace.

"Do you know where the secret room is?" Because in his impression, there was no secret room in the palace except the secret passage that he and He Zhiran passed through when they emptied the national treasury.

And that secret passage only led to the national treasury. It was estimated that after the treasury was stolen, the secret passage had already been blocked by people sent by Emperor Shunwu.

This is also the real reason why Mo Jiuye chose to climb over the wall.

Especially in the harem where the concubines live, it is absolutely not allowed to build any secret rooms.

This has also been a method used by emperors throughout history to prevent concubines from having affairs with others. All buildings and shelters must be built in the open.

"When I was captured, my eyes were blindfolded, but I could sense that the direction to the secret room and the Queen's bedroom were the same."

Mo Jiuye knew that at this point, Qi Changshun would definitely not lie. If he said he didn't know, it definitely meant he didn't know the exact location.

Fortunately, he could also tell the approximate location of the secret room, which made it easier for him to find it.

After hearing the news, Mo Jiuye had no intention of dealing with Qi Changshun.

Although Qi Changshun is not a good person, he has never offended Mo Jiuye, so there is no need for Mo Jiuye to kill him.

"I won't take your life. Whether you can survive depends on your own ability."

When Qi Changshun heard that the other party was going to let him go, he immediately felt relieved. He was also smart enough not to ask about his identity again.

"Just go and tell His Royal Highness Prince Qi to come and rescue the Emperor. I'll leave this place to you."

Mo Jiuye believed that Qi Changshun could deal with the two corpses in front of him. After all, the premise for his survival was that the queen knew about his escape as late as possible.

Mo Jiuye went around behind Qi Changshun and jumped onto the big tree.

Mo Jiuye and Qi Changshun were talking in a low voice just now, and He Zhiran couldn't hear it clearly at all.

Before she could ask, Mo Jiuye whispered the news to her.

"My dear, since the exact location of the secret room is unknown, why don't we go to the Queen's bedroom first and check it out. Maybe there will be some clues."

"Well, we'll go after Qi Changshun leaves here."

The two men watched Qi Changshun drag the two bodies away before they jumped down from the tree and continued to move towards the light.

After all, Fengxi Palace is the queen's residence, and it is much larger than Concubine Yuan's bedroom.

No matter how big the palace is, it cannot change the rule that the master will live in the most luxurious position in the middle.

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran avoided the guards' sight all the way and found the queen's bedroom.

The lights were still on here, and the palace maids and eunuchs stood in a row on both sides of the door waiting for orders.

As the queen of a country, it is not surprising that she has many servants under her command, but it is abnormal to have such a large group of servants standing there waiting in the middle of the night.

Mo Jiuye pulled He Zhiran around to the back of the bedroom, and after checking that there was no danger around, they jumped onto the roof together.

After finding the right position, Mo Jiuye gently lifted a tile, and a dazzling light shot out from there.

The two of them looked down intently.

This is not the queen's bedroom, but the place where concubines usually come to pay their respects. To put it bluntly, it is where the queen works.

The room was brightly lit at this time.

The queen, dressed in casual clothes, sat in the center of the uppermost seat, staring at the people in front of her with an unhappy expression.

"You said that the person I sent to the Shangshu Mansion yesterday hasn't returned yet?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a eunuch dressed in the clothes of a chief steward knelt down.

"I just sent someone to check on Xiao Liu, but there was no one there."

Upon hearing this, the queen stood up angrily and slammed her hand on the small table beside her.

"How dare you, Zhang Defu, conceal such a serious matter if I hadn't asked you about it?"

Zhang Defu was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed hard to the queen.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been leading people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Emperor's imperial seal since this morning, and I just left the secret room."

"Then have you found out the whereabouts of the imperial seal?"

Speaking of the jade seal, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran both felt as if they had suddenly realized something.

Emperor Shunwu was not a good emperor who worked diligently and loved his people. Logically, he should have held office meetings in the Lu Study Room except for the morning court sessions.

However, due to his laziness, the study in the palace was just a decoration.

At most, he would read the memorials in his bedroom when he felt like it.
