Chapter 31: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine's Daughter 31

When Aunt Qiao found Mo Liyuan, he was supervising the guards to search every corner. When he saw Aunt Qiao coming, he hurried over to greet her.

"Why are you here, my beloved?"

Aunt Qiao raised her hand and touched Mo Liyuan's cheek. Seeing his dark eye sockets and bloodshot eyes, she felt sad and said, "Let's see how the search is going. Where have you searched so far?"

Mo Liyuan held Qiao Jinjin's hand tiredly and said, "We have searched all the palaces, but there are no clues."

Aunt Qiao frowned. The system couldn't possibly lie to her. It must have missed something.

Cining Temple, fire, men in black.

Aunt Qiao was shocked and asked, "Your Majesty, have you searched carefully in Cining Palace?"

Mo Liyuan frowned. "The Cining Palace has been burned down and collapsed, but I didn't look for it. Could it be in the Cining Palace?"

"Your Majesty," Jinjin Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Cining Palace and look for it. I am just guessing. The fire in Cining Palace is suspicious in itself. It would be easy for the men in black to sneak into the palace through the secret passage during the chaos."

"By the time they finished their operation, the fire at Cining Temple had been out. It is possible that they could escape after there was no one left."

Mo Liyuan pursed his thin lips. If Leng Gongyun really ordered his men to dig a secret passage in Ci Ning Palace, he would be damned, not to mention that his purpose was to capture Jin Jin.

"My beloved is right"

"Pass on my order to search Ci Ning Palace immediately"

When the guards heard Mo Liyuan's order, they immediately stopped what they were doing, stood up one after another, and walked towards Cining Palace in neat steps.

"My dear, do you want to go and have a look?"

Aunt Qiao nodded. She had indeed not visited Cining Palace since the fire.

The damage to Cining Palace was even more serious than Aunt Qiao had imagined. There was almost only an empty frame left, with black wood piled up in a haphazard manner, and a burnt smell lingering in the air.

No wonder everyone has ignored this place, it is actually a ruin.

The guards and eunuchs began to clean up the burnt wood in an orderly manner. Mo Liyuan was afraid that Aunt Qiao and others would be tired, so he specifically ordered the servants to bring a chair.

It wasn't until an hour later that the place was almost cleaned up.

Mo Liyuan carefully supported Aunt Qiao as they walked on the rough ground, and even kept stretching his legs to kick away the debris that was blocking their way.

Aunt Qiao looked around and watched the guards searching carefully, her brows furrowed in confusion.

How could there not be? That's impossible.

Aunt Qiao walked towards the small kitchen on the side of the main hall of Cining Palace. The damage here was even more serious. The beams were burned away, but the stove was still intact, just blackened by smoke.

Mad threw away the big iron pot on the stove first, looked inside, shook his head and said, "Madam, there is charcoal in here."

Aunt Qiao picked up a wooden stick from the ground without caring about the dirt, and pounded it into the charcoal, doing it several times in a row.

"There's something wrong here. The fire can't be so shallow."

Ma Dehun was shocked and immediately asked people to start dismantling the stove.

Until the stove was stripped bare, a round hole appeared before our eyes.

Mo Liyuan's face turned pale. He didn't expect that there really was a secret passage.

"Fill this hole quickly, as deep as you can."

Jinjin Qiao originally wanted to call Mo Liyuan to see where the secret passage led to, but then she thought, if the secret passage was blocked, Leng Gongyun would know that the secret of the secret passage had been discovered, and he might give up the secret passage method.

But Leng Gongyun is always making trouble and it's really annoying.

"System, I want to make this month's prophecy come true"

[Host, please speak]

"It made Leng Gongyun's nightmares worse and made him unable to sleep or eat."

In this case, does he still have the energy to come up with some bad ideas?

[The prophecy has come true! 】

If it wasn't impossible to predict a person's death directly, she would have wanted to just let Leng Gongyun have an accident.

This time, Leng Gongyun expected to stay in Daming for two months, which made Leng Gongyun not so anxious about the next move. After all, the incident of the man in black had put the entire palace on high alert.

If he acted rashly again, the risk of being completely exposed would be too great.

When Aunt Qiao was five months pregnant, she secretly contacted Zi Xin. After two months of recuperation, Zi Xin had fully recovered her health, except for the lameness in her leg, which had not been cured. In fact, the broken leg was not treated in time and had left a root of illness.

"Niangniang"

"This is a letter from Zi Xin"

Aunt Qiao took the letter from Jin Ling and started reading it. Her brows slightly wrinkled when she read the last line.

Zi Xin actually wanted to go back to the Taifu Mansion to take revenge in person, but Li Huaijiang now did not have the abilities that a man should have, and it would not work to use his beauty to take revenge.

"System, if the prophecy comes true, does it mean we can use it in one day?"

[Yes, host, after today it will be one month.]

"I predict that Li Huaijiang can only have feelings for Zi Xin, and still not for other women"

Aunt Qiao felt that she was simply too smart. In this case, Li Huaijiang had no choice but to pamper Zi Xin. After all, apart from Zi Xin, he was still an "eunuch".

Li Huaijiang had not been to Qiao Zhenzhen's courtyard for a long time since he was punished by the emperor. He had always disliked Qiao Zhenzhen, and after the eldest princess was demoted, he no longer cared about her that much.

Although I couldn't do anything to Qiao Zhenzhen, no one would say anything if I didn't go to her yard.

Li Huaijiang was sitting in a private room of the restaurant drinking wine, looking at the merchants downstairs and the people struggling for their lives, with mockery in his eyes.

Suddenly a familiar figure walked past under his nose, and Li Huaijiang became interested.

Isn't this the maid I played with before? I didn't expect that I would see the missing person.

"Qi Sheng, go and bring that woman up to me."

After saying that, he raised his chin in Zi Xin's direction.

"Yes, Master."

When Qi Sheng blocked Zi Xin's way, she knew that Li Huaijiang had taken the bait. A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Zi Xin acted timidly and didn't even dare to raise her head when standing in front of Li Huaijiang.

"Why, after not seeing you for so long, you've become so timid?"

"If I'm not mistaken, your indenture is still in Qiao Zhenzhen's hands, right?"

"You are so bold that you dare to run away"

After saying this, Li Huaijiang stood up and lifted Zi Xin's chin.

But the moment he met Zi Xin, he felt himself getting excited.

The long-lost feeling made him excited.

"Qi Sheng, go out, guard the door, and don't let anyone disturb me."

Listening to Li Huaijiang's happy tone, Qi Sheng looked at Zi Xin with eyes full of pity. He thought that Zi Xin was going to be in trouble again. After all, the current young master was very ruthless in abusing people.

Qi Sheng stood outside the door, and soon the sounds of Zi Xin's low moans and Li Huaijiang's heavy breathing could be heard from inside, which lasted for a full quarter of an hour.

Hearing no movement in the room, Qi Sheng was about to knock on the door, but another burst of intense noise came out.

This sound is not right, it doesn't sound like a beating, but more like...
