Before leaving, Wei Ting expressed his desire to go with him, but Su Cheng sternly rejected his offer:

"I'm not going to kill anyone. I'm enough on my own. If there are too many people, the target will be too big and it will be easy to be discovered."

Wei Ting: Are you sure this is the reason? "Dad, put this on." Su Xiaoxiao gave him her silver silk gloves.

Su Cheng had used them during the duel with Qin Jiang, and knowing how powerful they were, he put them on without hesitation.

Su Xiaoxiao also gave her father some self-defense powder and hidden weapons.

"Okay, okay, you keep the rest for yourself."

I just went to steal some pills, I really don't need these things.

Su Xiaoxiao cried, "Dad, I can't bear to leave you."

Su Cheng: "Let's do something practical, such as a red envelope from His Majesty Nanjiang."

Su Xiaoxiao waved in a second: "Dad, goodbye!" -Su Cheng put on his official uniform of the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division over his nightgown, and he first entered the palace with the token in a dignified manner.

The imperial palace is divided into the front hall and the harem.

The front hall is where courts are held and ministers work. The harem is located just past the Qianqing Gate to the north of the Qilin Hall.

The emperor's bedroom is located behind the Qianqing Gate.

Except in special periods, the Imperial City Guards are not allowed to enter the Qianqing Gate on weekdays.

Su Cheng could only take the secret passage.

He took advantage of no one's attention and slipped away to a small bamboo garden in the front hall.

The entrance is right there.

Seeing that there was no one around, he pulled open the grass-covered floor and slipped in.

Soon, he arrived at Zhaoyang Palace.

He didn't go up immediately, but first gently knocked on the bed board above his head.

After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, the bed board of the Empress Dowager was pulled open, and Bai Xihe looked at him with wet long hair.

She was taking a bath just now.

Hearing the noise under the bed, she knew it was him coming, so she immediately dressed herself and asked the palace servants to take down the bathtub.

There was a thin layer of moisture on her jade-like skin, and her eyes were filled with the light of stars. She looked like a fairy fallen from heaven to earth, so beautiful beyond words.

Su Cheng cleared his throat, looked away, came out from under the bed, and helped her put the bed in place.

"Are you here to see me?"

Bai Xihe asked softly.

Su Cheng answered honestly: "I came to steal something."

Bai Xihe: “…”

Su Cheng left his official robe in the passage and slipped out of Zhaoyang Palace in his nightgown.

Xiao Shunyang was stripped of his title of Prince Rui today. Concubine Zhao was worried that he would be sad, so she specifically asked Emperor Jingxuan to allow her son to talk to her in the bedroom.

Emperor Jingxuan agreed.

Xiao Shunyang came out after having dinner at Concubine Zhao's place.

Before leaving the palace, he came to Bai Xihe's bedroom. Just as he was about to pay his respects to Bai Xihe, he saw a figure rushing out from inside and disappearing quickly into the night.

That figure was clearly a man! Xiao Shunyang's eyes darkened, and he quickly chased after him! When he was halfway through the chase, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

“Second brother!”

It’s Princess Jingning.

Xiao Shunyang turned around and looked at her: "Jingning."

Princess Jingning came forward with her maid Taozhi and asked, "Did Second Brother just come from Concubine Zhao's mother?"

Xiao Shunyang looked at the direction the man fled, clenched his fingers, and said to Princess Jingning: "Ah, yes."

Princess Jingning said, "I heard about what happened in the Golden Palace. What exactly happened? I don't believe that the Wei family would do anything that would harm the Great Zhou, but I don't believe that my second brother would slander Wei Qing at will."

Xiao Shunyang frowned and said gently, "There are some things you don't understand. The Wei family is not as simple as you think."

He didn't want to deal with Jingning, he wanted to chase that man.

Princess Jingning said: "My second brother has always been the most upright brother in my mind. I don't want him to have any misunderstandings with the Wei family."

Xiao Shunyang patted her shoulder and said, "Let's talk about it another day. Go back to the bedroom and rest. I have something to do and I'm leaving first."

If we don’t chase him, he will really get away! “Second brother!”

Just at this time, Princess Hui'an returned to the palace.

At this time, Eunuch Fu passed by under the big tree carrying a food box.

Su Cheng jumped down without saying a word, put a dagger against his neck from behind, and asked in a deliberately low voice: "Where is the elixir that the emperor is taking hidden?"

"In the Taoist temple of the Imperial Master, go east and turn south at the third fork in the road. There used to be a small Buddhist temple there, which Your Majesty converted into a Taoist temple. After you enter, the second small alchemy room on the right is Your Majesty's exclusive alchemy room. All of Your Majesty's elixirs are there!"

Eunuch Fu finished speaking in one breath.

Su Cheng's expression is hard to describe.

Does Emperor Jingxuan know that you are so loyal?

All those hundred ways of torture I thought of were in vain?

Following the clues provided by Eunuch Fu, Su Cheng successfully arrived at the Taoist temple.

He was lucky today as the Imperial Master was out.

He successfully sneaked into Emperor Jingxuan's alchemy room, where there were no less than a hundred pills of various kinds, but only one kind was packed in an exquisite brocade box.

“That should be it.”

Su Cheng went to get the pills.

Swish! A poison needle suddenly shot out from the box.

Clang! The poison needle was deflected by the silver glove.

Su Cheng was still frightened: "Fortunately my daughter was well prepared."

He picked up the poison needle and quietly put it back.

He was stabbed several times during this period.

Hey, I put on silver silk gloves, just for fun.

Just stealing something and leaving is a bit uncharacteristic of Su Bully's style.

Su Cheng thought about it, took out the colorless and tasteless laxative potion given by his daughter, and sprinkled it on the pills in the brocade box. - On the other side, Gui Bu was arranged by his father to escort "Mr. Zhuge" back to Xiangyun Inn.

Ling Yun was lying in his luxurious carriage, holding a box of snacks, and resting his eyes leisurely.

Gui Bu rode his horse aside, rolling his eyes.

When passing by a quiet old street, several strange smells suddenly came from all directions.

Gui Bu's heart trembled, he clamped his legs around the horse's belly, leaped up, and kicked down a masked assassin who was approaching.

The assassin fell heavily to the ground, but did not die. Instead, he quickly got up.

Gui Bu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't die after being hit by his attack. He is not an ordinary assassin.

The four of them did not continue to fight with the ghost, but rushed towards Ling Yun's carriage together.

Their target was "Zhuge Qing"! Gui Bu flew down and fought fiercely with several people.

These people fought him for more than ten moves, and their skills were comparable to those of the puppets of the Holy Maiden Palace.

When did such a master come to the Great Zhou? They were a bit tricky, but they were not a match for Gui Bu.

So they deployed their tactics, using three of them to hold Gui Bu back, while the other one suddenly lifted Ling Yun's curtain and raised his hand to grab Ling Yun out.

Ling Yun moved his fingertips, and a pear blossom dart flew out, cutting his throat in an instant.

He covered his throat that was bleeding profusely, and widened his eyes in disbelief: "You...you are..."

The next second, Gui Bu broke free from the three people and stabbed with his sword.

He heard what the other party said and hesitated with his sword.

Ling Yun kicked the man in the chest, and the man fell backwards, his body pierced by the ghost's long sword.

At this time, Wei Liulang and Wei Ting also rushed over.

Of the rest, one was captured, but two escaped. The one who was captured committed suicide by biting his poison sac.

Wei Liulang walked quickly to the carriage and asked worriedly, "Brother, Mr. Zhuge, are you all right?"

Gui Bu drew back the sword that sealed his throat, and the assassin, who had already died, fell in front of Ling Yun.

Ling Yun said innocently: "Oh, I'm so scared."

Ghostly: ...

Babies, would you please vote for Shihu? 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
