Chapter 41 Discovering the Secret
Si Linglong had never expected that this person, who looked arrogant, was actually a little timid inside. She was stunned for a moment, and then her emotions were brewing again, "Madam Shurong, Lady Qi is the emperor's lady after all. Does the emperor know that you are torturing her like this?"
Li Shurong seemed to have been waiting for Si Linglong to come forward. She straightened her back and was about to teach her a lesson, but unexpectedly, Si Linglong had no intention of speaking to her at all. She said to Qi Guiren at the side very quickly, "Don't be afraid, Qi Guiren. I will go find the emperor to save you!"
After all, he didn't care how the two people reacted, he pulled Shuhong's legs and ran out.
Li Shurong and Qi Gui were both stunned.
Is it really necessary to trouble the Emperor for such a small matter?
Are you concubines playing such a big game?
After reacting, Li Shurong hurriedly stood up and tried to chase after him, "Lang Guiren, wait a minute..."
Li Shurong chased after him, but caught a glimpse of a figure sneaking into the back room from the corner corridor, and she was stunned again.
Didn’t you say you were going to invite the Emperor?
The gate is here.
"…Why is she running to the corner corridor?"
Li Shurong muttered to herself, feeling confused, but she didn't notice that Qi Guiren, who was standing nearby, seemed to remember something when he heard her words. His face changed and he was about to walk out.
Li Shurong had just been ignored by a noble, so how could she allow herself to continue being ignored? She immediately raised her hand to stop him, "Noble Qi! How dare you leave before I have finished my words of instruction!"
On normal days, this man would have responded timidly and coweringly, but today he seemed to be possessed by a demon. He raised his hand, pushed her away, and ran to the back room.
Li Shurong was supported by a palace maid beside her, but her face was full of disbelief.
Was she pushed just now?
Or was he pushed away by that cowardly Mr. Qi? !
Be, be outrageous!
Li Shurong's face turned red with anger. She stomped her feet and followed after him.
On the other side, Si Linglong took advantage of the entanglement in front and took Shu Hong all the way into the back compartment.
The layout of the houses in this palace is basically the same, so Si Linglong easily found the house where Qi Guiren lived. Shu Hong was guarding at the end of the corridor, and she went straight into the house to look for clues.
Judging from Mr. Qi's reaction, she believed that there must be clues in this house. Even if things got out of hand later, the worst that could happen was that she would say that she suspected Mr. Qi had stolen her things and openly ask people to search the house.
Si Linglong was thinking about it, but her nose keenly caught a hint of fragrance as she entered the door.
Rather than incense, it is more like sandalwood used for offering.
Si Linglong vaguely remembered something mentioned in the novel. Following the scent, she looked around the room and opened the box to search.
Suddenly, Shu Hong's voice of stopping was heard outside the door, but Si Linglong ignored it and continued to grope along the wall along the box.
The noise outside was getting louder and louder. Shu Hong screamed, and the next second, the door was pushed open by Qi Guiren.
At the same time, Si Linglong touched a groove on the wall and opened the secret compartment hidden in the wall. When she saw what was inside the secret compartment, Si Linglong was stunned.
"You saw it..." Qi Guiren's voice was low, and unlike his previous timidity, it carried a dangerous aura.
Si Linglong calmed down now.
"Mr. Qi, is this why you want to use me to harm the emperor? Yu Chuhe, who is it?"
In the secret compartment behind Si Linglong, there was actually an invisible Buddhist shrine embedded in it. Inside the shrine, there was only one tablet, which was the spirit tablet of her eldest sister Yu Chuhe.
Qi Guiren's expression changed slightly, not only because of the name, but also because of Si Linglong's words.
She actually knew everything.
So she came here just to find evidence?
A trace of panic flashed across Qi Guiren's face, but before she could figure out what to do, Li Shurong rushed in with great momentum.
Without even looking at what was happening inside the house, she entered the room wanting to teach Mr. Qi a lesson for daring to attack her. However, before she could get close, she heard a burst of noisy footsteps suddenly coming from outside the house.
Accompanied by screams, a bright yellow figure suddenly appeared at the door. The handsome and flawless face that had just been seen not long ago now looked dark and terrifying.
Li Shurong was so frightened at that time.
She, she was just giving a lecture to a concubine, how come she actually alarmed the emperor and made him come in person?!
