Chapter 209 Never Ending

Seeing Helian Yue's slightly changing expression, Huo Shan was still a little puzzled. Did he ask any taboo questions?

He was about to speak again when Helian Yue looked at him with a sullen face and said word by word,

"Catch him and lock him up first, but don't let anyone harm him."

The more Helian listened to Si Linglong's excited tone, the more he feared that she might get excited and secretly perform some "sterilization" on the wild fox.

This is not the palace, why bother!

…

After a lot of trouble and seeing that there was indeed nothing serious, Helian Yue ordered everyone to disperse.

He led his men out of Si Linglong's courtyard and asked someone to send Gu Qingquan back to rest first.

Gu Qingquan did nothing during the whole process, not to mention that she was not afraid even if someone was playing tricks on her. She just said, "I can go back by myself. Your Majesty should go to bed early."

Having said that, she left without caring what Helian Yue said and took her maids with her.

Only Helian Yue remained at the gate, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Come out."

The next second, a secret guard in black clothes appeared and knelt on one knee in front of Helian Yue.

Helian Yue looked at the secret guard in front of him. The expression he had just had in the room was gone. His eyes were cold and he said, "If it happens again, you don't have to come to see me again."

The secret guards he placed beside her were unable to prevent accidents in time several times.

What's the use of him?

The dark guard's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Yes."

But in my heart I was complaining bitterly.

It's true that he was guarding Concubine Lang Gui, but he wasn't watching her all the time. He was there when they encountered that group of foxes in the back mountain yesterday, but the Emperor ordered their leader to take action before they could show up, right?

As for tonight's events...

As soon as he realized something was wrong, he jumped down from the roof to chase after her, but he didn't even see her shadow.

Although I felt bitter inside, I dared not show it on my face.

He thought that if it happened again, the leader would make him disappear completely from the secret guard camp without the emperor saying anything.

Helian Yue didn't care what the guard was thinking. He just left after saying this.

…

There have been a series of mysterious deaths of golden pheasants in the Huguo Temple. This is not a big deal, but it is not a small one either.

After all, it's inevitable that people would be worried when such a thing happened where the Empress Dowager was.

Look, the dead chicken appeared directly at the door. Isn’t it shocking?

The Queen Mother found out about what happened last night the next day and immediately called Si Linglong over again.

Continue copying scriptures.

According to the Queen Mother’s original words, “Even if there were wild foxes in the mountains, why did they come to your house? It must be because you were not upright and angered the mountain spirits.”

Si Linglong took the emperor to the back mountain to secretly eat roast chicken. Although Helian Yue ordered not to tell anyone, everyone in the Huguo Temple was the empress dowager's spies, so how could they not know what she was doing?

But the emperor wanted to protect her, and the empress dowager couldn't lecture her openly.

Let’s not talk about it anymore and just copy the scriptures.

So that day, Si Linglong was forced to copy scriptures for three full hours.

When I came out of Shouxin Hall, I could hardly lift my arms.

Supported by Shuhong and Qinglu, Si Linglong walked all the way back to her own courtyard. She suddenly envied the sick concubines.

She might as well lie down and recuperate.

Seeing this, Qinglu felt distressed and angry.

"That Chen Xiurong is really unwilling to rest even when she is ill. After what happened last night, she asked her subordinates to spread nonsense today, saying that the golden chicken that died inexplicably yesterday and the dead chicken left at the door at night were warnings from the Buddha, and that our concubine had committed murder and that this had led to these misfortunes!"

Seeing her so angry, Si Linglong found it a little funny. "It was me who copied the scriptures, not you, and you are still angry. Don't worry, don't worry. I don't think the Queen Mother is punishing me for such a low-brow slander today."

Qinglu asked again, "Why is that?"

Si Linglong shrugged.

Why else?

I guess someone discovered that I was secretly roasting a chicken yesterday.

Si Linglong shrugged her shoulders halfway when she suddenly heard a scream coming from a small courtyard not far ahead. Immediately afterwards, a little eunuch stumbled out and was speechless when he saw Si Linglong.

"Your Highness... there's a chicken inside..."

Si Linglong was stunned, and walked quickly to the courtyard. Looking through the gate, she saw a dead pheasant lying quietly in front of the house, just as it was last night.

No matter how calm Si Linglong was, she couldn't help but curse in her heart at this moment.

[Oh my god, why is this not over yet? ]
