Chapter 138 Ancient Rebellion Foolish Female Supporting Character 8 Investigation
"You're not angry, are you?" Concubine Jing entered the palace and saw that there was no smile on Yan Mi's face, so she asked with concern.
"No, I won't be angry about this." Yan Mi said.
"That's good. I've trained well here these days. I want to train on my own at my place and won't come here anymore." Concubine Jing said.
"Okay." Yan Mi nodded.
Concubine Jing spoke to Yan Mi for a few more words before she left.
But she did not go back to her palace directly, but went to find Concubine Li.
Before she even entered the palace, the maid who served Concubine Li personally came out to greet her. "Concubine Li is not feeling well at the moment. Please return, Concubine Jing."
Concubine Jing smiled and waved her hand. "Then I'll go visit Concubine Li. She fell ill right after returning from Concubine Jin's palace. I should be concerned about her."
Seeing she couldn't stop him, the maid immediately changed her story: "The master is angry since she came back from Concubine Jin. I don't know what happened. Many things have been smashed. Please help me to calm her down."
Concubine Jing had known this would happen. "I'll go and take a look. You don't have to follow me."
"yes."
After Concubine Jing went in, someone was still cleaning up, and there was a pile of debris on the ground.
"What happened?" asked Concubine Jing.
The other palace maids looked at her, and Concubine Jing asked them to leave first.
Concubine Li didn't say a word and didn't know where to start.
She just felt aggrieved. Why did the emperor only like Yan Mi? It seemed that none of them would appear in the emperor's heart.
Concubine Jing sat beside her, holding her hand. She could feel the coldness of Concubine Li's palm. "Are you still angry about the breakfast?"
"No." Concubine Li shook her head and wiped away her tears.
Concubine Jing smiled and shook her head, "Not yet? I know what you're thinking."
Concubine Li pouted, obviously not wanting to listen.
"The Concubine Jin and the Emperor grew up together as childhood sweethearts. She saved the Emperor's life, and they have a deep relationship. The Emperor is a devoted man, and there is only Concubine Jin in his heart. You should stop thinking about this in the future," said Concubine Jing.
It's not like Concubine Li hasn't heard of the story of Yan Mi and Han Chengdao, she just can't figure it out.
Concubine Jing continued to persuade her, but knew that she still had some intentions in her heart, so she stopped persuading her. This kind of thing only needed a breakthrough, and Concubine Li would completely give up.
…
On the other hand, Yan Mi was not idle either. She had to find information about Zhao's spies from other directions, but this was a bit difficult for her and she could not accomplish it alone.
So Yan Mi thought of Tong's father.
[Dad Tong, please help me.] Yan Mi clasped his hands together and bowed to the air.
The system did see it, but it didn't want to care. Why did Yan Mi, who had never relied on it before, rely on it so much this time?
Yan Mi shouted for a long time but couldn't get anything out. She knew that Tong's father was going to give up.
Yan Mi was disappointed and sat back.
But even without Tong's father's help, she can complete these tasks.
In addition to my own investigation, there must be clues in the original owner's memory.
She recalled a lot. Fortunately, the original owner remembered everything about the villain very well, so she didn't need to use other methods to strengthen her memory.
If the villain needs the original owner's help, there must be a place mentioned by the original owner.
In the original owner's impression, she had arranged no less than ten locations for the villain.
Yan Mi: ...The capital of Cheng State has been completely ripped apart.
She couldn't help but get angry at this time, and so did the male protagonist. Why didn't he suspect anything? If the male protagonist had found the original owner earlier, these things could have been avoided.
Although she was angry, Yan Mi was now glad that Han Chengdao did not investigate, otherwise she would not be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Yan Mi felt it necessary to investigate.
If she wants to leave the palace, she needs to do some investigation, which she cannot do alone.
After she finished writing the letter and waited for the paper to dry, she clapped her hands. A person who looked like a palace maid immediately came forward. She folded the letter and handed it to the maid. "Here, take it to the Tianxia Teahouse outside the palace. Wait until someone comes to pick it up before you come back."
The palace maid nodded, took the letter, turned around and disappeared.
Yan Mi just lay there waiting for the news.
In the teahouse, Sheng Lai, who had been waiting there for several days, was bored. She felt like her stomach was full of water and it would make a rumbling sound if she shook it.
Finally, she saw a familiar face, but she couldn't remember where she had seen this person.
After taking a sip of tea and looking down again, the person below had disappeared.
After a while, the man walked towards her, still holding the teacup in her hand, and sat down in her seat very familiarly.
"Who are you?" Sheng Lai frowned and looked very bad. She didn't want to have any interaction with these people.
"I'm here to see you." The other person had a cold expression on his face, but he insisted on sitting down.
After hearing her say this, Sheng Lai's expression looked a little better.
"What's the matter?"
The other party did not say anything, but snatched the teacup from her hand and drank the tea in it.
"You..." Sheng Lai was speechless. If he wanted to drink tea, he could pour it himself. Why did he have to snatch it from her?
"Waiter." The other party called someone.
"What's the matter, sir?" The waiter ran up attentively.
"Give me some more food." She ordered a bunch for herself, and the waiter went down happily.
Sheng Lai didn't know what she was planning, and didn't say anything to stop her.
The other person had a cold face, and Sheng Lai had no desire to talk, so the atmosphere between the two of them remained frozen.
After finishing the meal, the two started chatting, and it seemed like they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they talked happily.
After the two walked out of the restaurant and parted ways, Sheng Lai immediately returned to her own room and dared to take out the note she had hidden before and read it.
This time Yan Mi wanted her to help her investigate the spy base, which also had a gathering place.
When she saw these places, she already had a general idea in her mind.
It is very likely that there are spies in these places, but there should not be many of them. After all, Emperor Zhao has always been wary of Yan Mi, so he must find a way to develop other subordinates.
Only after everything was settled did Sheng Lai set off.
Yan Mi waited for several hours before the palace maid came back.
Yan Mi knew that she had completed it, so she asked her to continue pretending to be a palace maid and serve her.
When Han Chengdao came to her palace in the evening, Yan Mi mentioned these things intentionally or unintentionally.
"You don't have to worry about these things, I will take care of them." Han Chengdao said.
"But you've been working so hard lately that your complexion has turned pale. The people of Zhao are really hateful." Yan Mi gently massaged the acupoints on Han Chengdao's head as he leaned on her legs, cursing.
"This is nothing. I have also sent people to Zhao State, and they have not been discovered by the Zhao people yet." Han Chengdao said.
Yan Mi felt guilty after hearing this. "Even if we send someone over, we can't let our guard down. The last time I sneaked out of the palace, I felt like someone was following me."
"Well, I'll take care of it." Han Chengdao didn't want Yan Mi to worry about these things.
"I want to help you." Yan Mi said, and the strength in his hands increased a little.
"Just stay in the palace. Things may not be peaceful for a while. If you don't feel safe, I will call your brother to the palace to protect you." Han Chengdao opened his eyes and said.
Yan Mi lowered her head and looked at him. She shook her head and said, "My brother probably doesn't want to come to the palace. It's better not to let him come. I have the ability to protect myself. After all, my father is a general. I'm not as weak as you think."
"Yeah." Han Chengdao didn't want to argue with Yan Mi. He would definitely do what he had decided.
Yan Mi lowered her head and kissed Han Chengdao's eyes, "I only discovered today that the emperor is so handsome."
Han Chengdao chuckled, "You're the only one who talks sweetly."
"Really, in my heart, the emperor is more handsome than my father." Yan Mi blinked and acted mischievously.
"Hahaha, it seems that my position in my beloved concubine's heart has gradually grown during this period of time." Han Chengdao joked.
Yan Mi grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest, "Han Chengdao will always be the first in my heart."
Han Chengdao was stunned for a while. After he came to his senses, his heart was filled with sweet joy. He couldn't wait to pick up Yan Mi and walked to the bed.
Yan Mi's coat had just been unbuttoned when a voice came from outside the door. It was Eunuch Song's voice, "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Dali Temple wishes to see you."
Han Chengdao stopped what he was doing and pulled the quilt closer to Yan Mi. "Tell him to come back tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report. We have found some clues about the matter we investigated before." A strong male voice sounded.
Han Chengdao asked him to go to the imperial study and wait. He turned to look at Yan Mi with an apologetic look on his face, "I have to go take care of something important. You go to bed tonight."
"I understand. I'll wait for the emperor to come to me tomorrow." Yan Mi said considerately.
She also tidied up Han Chengdao's clothes, and only sent Han Chengdao away after she could not see anything wrong with them.
It was already late at night, and the moon was hanging in the middle of the sky.
The Dali Temple's Chief Justice came to see Han Chengdao, so it must be something very important, but Yan Mi didn't know what it was, and there was no memory of this incident in the original owner's memory.
Could it be some secret plan?
After all, in the original plot, the villain was able to destroy Chengguo with the help of the original owner, but the male protagonist faked his death and escaped, which shows that he actually knew the villain's plan to force the palace.
But he never told the original owner.
Could it be that he already knew the original owner's plan?
A gust of night wind blew by, and Yan Mi shivered with cold.
"My lady, it's cold outside, let's go inside."
Yan Mi nodded and went back.
Lying in bed, she couldn't fall asleep.
If Han Chengdao really knew that she had contacted Zhao Mingzhang, could she still clear her name? No matter how she thought about it, it was impossible.
Yan Mi was so lost in thought that he couldn't sleep all night and lost a lot of hair.
However, Han Chengdao did what he said. He came to see her immediately after the morning court.
Yan Mi secretly looked at Han Chengdao, but did not find anything wrong with Han Chengdao, and he did not seem angry.
Could it be that her guess last night was wrong?
"Why are you looking at me? There's something on my face." Han Chengdao turned his head to look at her.
Yan Miyao
Shaking her head and then nodding, she quickly covered up and said, "I was just wondering if the emperor had any rest last night."
"Of course I'm resting. Why are you still worrying about this?" Han Chengdao asked.
"I'm worried about the emperor. He has been busy with state affairs recently and hasn't been able to spend much time with me." Yan Mi was a little unhappy and couldn't eat much.
"It will be fine once this busy period is over. I will definitely make time to spend more time with you later." As he spoke, he picked up some food for Yan Mi.
Yan Mi ate the food he had picked up and nodded seriously, "Then can I accompany the emperor? I promise not to cause any trouble."
"Okay." Han Chengdao nodded.
Yan Mi was ecstatic.
