Chapter 85 Xiaoqi's Death

"As long as you keep him inside, I can take charge of other things."

Xiaowu was shocked. Who was this "he" referring to?

Their voices were getting farther and farther away.

Xiaowu looked up again and again, but could only see a tall figure.

Xiaowu tilted his head again, but still couldn't see it.

"The voice just now couldn't have been Xiaoliu, right? That shouldn't have been the case. Xiaoliu should be guarding the garden." Xiaowu muttered.

After the two men completely disappeared, Xiaowu hurriedly ran back to Yu Garden along the same route.

Only Xiaoqi was waiting there.

Xiao Wu looked around and saw no one was around. "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi."

Xiao Qi heard the sound and hurried over.

"Why are you here? Have you found the person you were looking for?" Xiaowu asked.

"It can be considered found and not found." Xiao Qi replied. Xiao Qi repeated what happened to him and what the man asked him to do. He also explained what Xiao Liu had asked him to do, that is, wait here.

Xiaowu's frown became deeper and deeper.

"What about you? What news did you hear?" Xiao Qi asked.

"No, Concubine Ying and Concubine Rong are both under house arrest and cannot enter. I just saw guards coming over there. You hide here for a while and come out when it is safe. I will go and ask the other concubines." Xiao Wu ordered.

Xiao Qi nodded and simply sat down in the bushes.

When Xiaowu saw Xiaoqi hiding, he hurriedly crawled out along the same path.

Regardless of whether the voice he just heard was Xiaoliu's, he had to be on guard. Xiaoqi was still young and too innocent, so he had to pass the message on first.

But what he didn't expect was that it was because Xiaowu made Xiaoqi think that he was still in the palace. When Xiaoliu came back, Xiaoqi told the truth, which led to Xiaoqi losing his life.

Chu Yun here has the most difficult mission among all the ones.

There were at least dozens of guards in front of the Yangxin Palace.

Unable to find a way in, Chu Yun had no choice but to wait outside the door for an opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed and Chu Yun still didn't find a chance to go in.

"I wonder if they have any harvest there? Should we go back or continue to wait?"

Chu Yun gritted his teeth and was having trouble making a decision when a team of eunuchs slowly came towards him from not far away.

The young eunuch following behind the team had to lag behind because he was carrying too heavy a load.

Chu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xiao Qi waited and waited here, but the time was up and none of them came back.

According to Chu Yun's previous instructions, if the time comes, they have to go out no matter what to make sure the message gets out.

After thinking for a while, Xiaoqi decided to go out first.

I looked around and saw no one, so I quickly ran to the exit. Just as I was about to jump, I heard Xiaoliu's voice.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi."

When Xiao Qi heard someone was back, he happily took out his legs and said, "Xiao Liu, you're back. Where's Chu Yun? Where's Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Liu looked embarrassed. "There were too many guards in Yangxin Palace. I didn't find Chu Yun. What about Xiao Wu? Didn't you wait for him?"

About half an hour ago, Xiao Wu came back and said that Concubine Ying and Concubine Rong seemed to be under house arrest and there was no chance to go in. Seeing that you didn't come, he said he would check with the other concubines.

Xiaoliu nodded, "So you didn't tell Xiaowu about the information you got before, right?"

"I did, but Xiaowu didn't understand. He probably thought we didn't get any useful information, so he went to look for it again." Xiaoqi answered as a matter of course.

"What should we do now, Xiaoliu? Neither of them has come back, and our time is up. Chu Yun just told us that no matter what happens, we must go out when the time is up." Xiaoqi was a little anxious.

"Then let's do as Chu Yun said and go out first." Xiao Liu said.

"Okay." Xiaoqi showed a happy smile on his face.

After all, they were children, and they were still very scared in such a dangerous palace. When they heard that they were leaving, they felt relieved.

Just as Xiaoqi turned around, a dagger pierced him from behind.

Xiao Qi stood there in a daze, and turned around in an incredible way.

"Xiao Liu?" Xiao Qi made a sound with difficulty.

"I can't help it. Who told you to get the news? Regardless of whether the news is useful or not, I can't risk letting you take the news out. Xiaowu knows about it anyway. Then we can say it was Xiaowu who did it."

"Xiao Liu, no, they are all benefactors, you can't repay kindness with evil." Xiao Qi spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I had already taken refuge with Prince Lu when we were captured. Prince Lu is my benefactor, okay?" When Xiaoliu mentioned the word "benefactor", his eyes were full of disdain. He relied on himself, who was worthy of being his benefactor?

Two tears flowed from Xiao Qi's eyes. "I really miss the days when we caught crickets together, begged for food together, and got beaten together. Xiao Liu, don't go too far."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell down heavily.

Xiaoliu's eyes got a little wet after hearing what Xiaoqi said, but so what? Those who want to do great things do not care about trivial matters. If his master wins this time, he will be second to none in the future!

Thinking of this, Xiaoliu turned around, blew a whistle, and two men in black flew down.

"Deal with him, and then guard here. If you find the other two children trying to get out of the tunnel, then..." Xiaoliu made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The man in black nodded and silently dragged Xiaoqi away.

Let’s talk about Chu Yun, who followed a group of eunuchs into the Yangxin Palace.

The atmosphere in Yangxin Palace was one of decadence and extravagance, in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere outside.

The emperor was hugging four or five concubines, clinking glasses and drinking. The concubines were wearing dancers' clothes, drinking and dancing.

Chu Yun gritted his teeth, feeling inexplicably sad.

He remembered that his godfather once said that the emperor was a particularly pragmatic monarch. He always cared about national affairs and the people. As for the harem, his progress was only symbolic. The last time he met Hong Liangdi, it was because of the effect of drugs that made him obsessed for a while. So what was he seeing now?

Is it possible that he pretended to be like this in order to confuse someone?

Chu Yun raised his head quietly.

The emperor's clothes were torn open and the wine flowed down his neck and all over his body.

"Come on, beauties, drink up."

The emperor took the wine jug and poured it out, and the beauties hurried to catch it with their mouths.

Chu Yun gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

"Whoever drinks more today will be rewarded more, and whoever drinks less will be punished!"

As the emperor spoke, he stuffed a piece of snack into his mouth.

"Your Majesty, have another piece." Another beauty put a piece of snack into the emperor's mouth.

Chu Yun turned his head away and simply didn't look.

"Oh, look at our emperor, he's living a god-like life. It makes me itchy!" A discordant voice came from outside the palace. When Chu Yun heard it, his face changed drastically and he lowered his head immediately.

The door of the Yangxin Palace opened and Prince Lu strode in.
