However, Jiqi's actions, which he thought were secretive, had already been seen by someone in the dark, who immediately reported it to the Great Protector, who happened to be seeing Wenjing off.
After hearing this news, Wen Jing said with a half-smile: "Great Protector, it seems that Ji Qi is quite selfish. You'd better watch him carefully. After all, he is the only one who can make medicine now."
After saying this, Wen Jing went down the mountain.
The Great Protector immediately returned to the Dark Hall. When he saw Chen Shurou's body, there was no emotion in his eyes. He just asked, "Is she dead?"
"He couldn't bear the effects of the medicine and died."
Ji Chen had disguised Chen Shurou's body. If the Great Protector had not known the cause of Chen Shurou's death, she would have believed it.
But at this time, the Great Protector did not expose Ji's lie: "In this case, bury her."
The Great Protector who came out of the Dark Palace had complicated feelings. She had never thought that Chen Ji would actually betray the Black Mountain Underground Palace. He dared to kill Chen Shurou that day, so had he done other things that were hypocritical?
Wen Jing, who was walking down the mountain, raised his lips slightly. Who said that the Black Mountain Underground Palace was unbreakable? As long as someone inside showed disloyalty, the day when the Black Mountain Underground Palace would fall apart would not be far away...
On the second day, when Su Chenyu and Li Li Yanqing woke up, they felt waves of warmth.
After the two stood up, Aunt Xu came in to serve them: "I heard from someone that the winter in Xixia is particularly cold. It was probably because it snowed yesterday that the heating in the inn started burning in the middle of the night."
Madam Xu handed Su Chenyu a handkerchief soaked in hot water and wrung out, "Early this morning, there was a noise outside. Someone froze to death in the snow. Someone recognized that the person who froze to death was Qian Kui Qianyin, who used to be in Huancai Pavilion. The way she died was really ugly."
Hearing the name again, Su Chenyu didn't feel anything. She had betrayed her only support, and death was only a matter of time.
Yanyu knocked on the door outside: "Sir, the Holy Envoy Handan is here to visit."
"Please ask her to come in."
After getting Su Chenyu's approval, Yanyu brought Handan in, poured her a cup of tea, and then left.
"Why did the Holy Envoy Handan come here specially?"
Handan then asked, "Lord Fengyi, are you guys going to the plum blossom viewing banquet this time?"
"Mr. Zhuohua came personally to deliver the invitation, how could I not accept it?"
As so many things had happened in the Xixia royal family, Handan was unwilling to enter the palace and get involved at this time. She originally hoped that Su Chenyu would be with her, but she didn't expect that Su Chenyu would be willing to enter the palace.
Seeing Handan's distressed expression, Su Chenyu asked, "Saint Envoy Handan, please tell me what you want to say. I will definitely help if I can."
"Furong has been out a lot lately. I followed her once and found that she seemed to have stayed in the eldest prince's residence. During this plum blossom viewing banquet, I was worried that Furong and the eldest prince would do something they shouldn't do."
Handan came to deliver a message to Su Chenyu, revealing some possible plan between Furong and Feng Huailue.
"I think you can think about it more deeply. Behind Feng Huailue is the Black Mountain Underground Palace. The person who robbed you was also under the command of Black Mountain. Furong may not be close to Feng Huailue, but to the Black Mountain Underground Palace."
Handan's face changed slightly. The reason why Nanyue sent people here this time was largely because they wanted to get in touch with the underground palace of Heishan Mountain.
Upon hearing that the Black Mountain Underground Palace contained a prophecy about the fate of Nanyue, the Queen of Nanyue was very concerned about it, otherwise she would not have suddenly interacted with Western Xia.
If the Hibiscus Sutra is connected to the Black Mountain Underground Palace, then the current situation is extremely unfavorable to me!
