Chapter 388: Return to the Black Mountain Underground Palace
"Is the first prince worried about Concubine De?" Lanpin walked to Feng Jikai's side and asked.
She still called her Defei, which represented Lanpin's intention to befriend Feng Jikai. Feng Jikai naturally knew this Lanpin, as she used to be Yi Qingchen's personal maid: "So it's Concubine Lan. If Concubine Ruo is promoted to queen, she will surely be able to take better care of Concubine Lan."
Lanpin smiled reluctantly: "The emperor only has the queen in his heart, how can he see our intentions? Defei was wronged, she was stopped from doing this hard task of preparing for the birthday, and finally something went wrong with the queen mother. But I heard that the imperial physician who treated the queen mother before said that the queen mother should be able to hold on. I don't know why she suddenly died?"
Feng Jikai heard the hint in Lanpin's words: "The Queen Mother is most concerned about Father. Even if she has to force herself, she will make it through this birthday."
"The Queen Mother's situation does need to be thoroughly investigated."
Feng Jikai nodded: "Thank you for your advice, Lanpin. I will investigate it myself. But in this case, why doesn't Lanpin ask the Queen?"
Lanpin sighed: "Perhaps the Queen can't stand the fact that there are other people around the Emperor."
"I heard that the Queen's health is not good and she doesn't have much time left. But it seems to me that this is not the case. Is there some secret?"
Lanpin immediately made the connection that Yi Qingchen had deliberately teamed up with the imperial physician to deceive Feng Xuanming. She made up this lie just to win Feng Xuanming's favor.
Lanpin, who thought she had discovered the truth, immediately changed her expression and left without even having time to say goodbye to Feng Jikai.
Looking at Lan Bin's leaving back, Feng Jikai narrowed his eyes, his face full of pride.
Jiapin and Feng Shuyu, who were hiding nearby, naturally noticed that something was wrong with Feng Jikai and Lanpin, but they had no intention of reminding Yi Qingchen and Feng Zhuohua.
The Black Mountain Underground Palace was in complete chaos.
The Great Protector was walking alone in the empty underground palace. Her face was covered by a mask, so her expression could not be seen. However, the vicissitudes in her eyes could not be concealed.
The first and third Dharma protectors came over and said, "Great Dharma protector, many people have already escaped. We will send people to chase them immediately."
The Great Protector waved his hand and said, "No need. Those who escaped from the Black Mountain Underground Palace will not survive."
The Yin Gu has been planted in those people's bodies. Only by staying in this deep underground palace where there is no light can they avoid stimulating the Yin Gu. As long as they live in the sun, they will be bitten to death by the Gu within a month at most.
In the past, those who left the Black Mountain Underground Palace on a mission would be given a medicine that temporarily suppressed the Yin Gu by the Great Protector. Those who escaped from the mountain privately would only die.
The Great Protector led the First Protector and the Third Protector into the tea room next door, where refreshments were already laid out. This was where the three of them had held their meeting that day.
The incense burner has been lit, and a faint fragrance permeates the air.
"Please take a seat." The Great Protector said after he sat down, "It's a good opportunity to discuss what to do next."
The first and third Dharma protectors looked at each other and sat down at the same time: "Great Dharma Protector, the Imperial Master is still in the palace, should we bring her out?"
"Haven't you heard the news yet?" the Great Protector asked, "Wen Jing has already told everyone everything about the medicine man."
