Chapter 262 Black Cloak
Chapter 262 Black Cloak
At 3 p.m., Prince's Mansion, Chaoyang Garden.
Qin Rubing returned to the room, dismissed everyone, took a deep breath, gently closed his eyes, concentrated, and then whispered:
"Xiaoyu, come out!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a ray of light flew out from her body and transformed into the image of a beautiful woman in the air. It was Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu looked at Qin Rubing with a smile and asked softly, "Master, what do you want me to do?"
Qin Rubing opened his eyes, looked at Xiaoyu, and said in a serious tone: "Xiaoyu, help me find out where Chu Tianxing is now."
Xiaoyu nodded, closed her eyes, and began to use her abilities.
After a moment, Xiaoyu opened her eyes and said to Qin Rubing, "Master, I have found out that Chu Tianxing is currently in Changqiu Palace."
After that, Xiaoyu sent Chu Tianxing's specific location to Qin Rubing.
Qin Rubing looked carefully and found that the location was an unfamiliar palace in Changqiu Palace.
Did Chu Tianxing go to see Concubine Qi or the Queen? This confused Qin Rubing.
She knew that the Qi family's power was closely connected to the imperial palace, but this address was a completely new place that she had never heard of.
Qin Rubing couldn't help but fall into deep thought, trying to analyze Chu Tianxing's real purpose.
Maybe he was just going to visit someone who was closely related to the Qi family, or to handle some important matters?
But no matter what, Qin Rubing decided to find out the truth of the matter.
She couldn't just sit there and do nothing, she had to take action to protect her own interests and the interests of the Prince's Mansion.
So, she began to think about her next plan of action, determined to solve the mystery.
Qin Rubing is well aware of the tense current situation and must personally understand the situation in the palace in order to make the right decision.
So she decided to change into the clothes of a palace maid and sneak into the palace quietly.
Although this palace maid's dress is simple, it allows her to better blend into the environment and not attract other people's attention.
She dressed up carefully and disguised herself as an ordinary palace maid, hoping to enter the palace smoothly.
The distance from the Prince's Mansion to Changqiu Palace is not short, but she is not afraid.
She activated the illusion, a magical spell that allowed her to become almost invisible when moving, making it difficult for others to detect her.
She carefully avoided the patrolling guards and tried to choose secluded paths and corners.
Along the way, she remained alert and kept an eye on the movements around her.
With the help of illusion, she had a smooth journey without encountering any obstacles.
Finally, according to the positioning and navigation of "Xiao Yu", she successfully arrived near the palace where Chu Tianxing was.
The palace is magnificent and majestic, demonstrating the majesty and dignity of the royal family.
But it is located deep in the imperial palace, surrounded by high walls and green trees, and is very quiet.
The surrounding environment was extremely quiet, with almost no sound, as if one was isolated from the world.
The palace has a simple and elegant architectural style, with exquisite carvings on the walls, but it is somewhat dilapidated due to its age.
The yard was overgrown with weeds and looked a bit desolate.
This place seems to be forgotten, and not many people usually pass by.
She hid in the dark, observing the situation around the palace, looking for the right time to enter.
At this time, a faint candlelight appeared in the palace.
Qin Rubing quietly approached the palace, and through the window, she saw Chu Tianxing with a man in a black cloak, and the two seemed to be discussing something important.
Qin Rubing looked carefully at the person in the cloak. Judging from her figure, she should be a woman.
However, Qin Rubing did not jump to conclusions. She decided to continue observing to determine what they were planning.
She hid in the dark, quietly watching every move in the house, hoping to find some clues.
"Xiaoyu, activate the monitoring function."
"Yes, Master."
Chu Tianxing's voice immediately rang clearly in Qin Rubing's ears.
"Are you talking about Qin Rubing?"
There was undisguised surprise in his tone.
"She must be eliminated. She is much more powerful than the prince."
A woman's voice sounded.
is her? !
Qin Rubing was startled. This was the Queen's voice.
This made her heart tighten. Could it be that Chu Tianxing had really colluded with the Queen?
Just then, a breeze blew by, and the window paper that Qin Rubing had poked through shook slightly, which aroused Chu Tianxing's vigilance.
His eyes became sharp in an instant, and he stared at the window, as if he could see everything outside through the wall.
"Who's there?" Chu Tianxing shouted in a low voice, with a hint of majesty and vigilance in his voice.
As he asked, the figure in a black cloak beside him slowly turned his head and looked towards the window.
Qin Rubing saw the person's face clearly, it was the queen!
She seemed to be looking at Qin Rubing.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and for a moment the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.
Qin Rubing's heart skipped a beat. It was actually the Queen? !
Her heartbeat quickened and her breathing became rapid. She knew that if she was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this critical moment, Qin Rubing turned around and left her hiding place without hesitation, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Her movements were light and agile, without making any sound, as silent as a cat.
She quickened her pace, moving through the corridors of the palace, trying to avoid possible pursuit.
She realized that her actions might have aroused Chu Tianxing's vigilance.
As she hurriedly fled, a patrolling guard spotted her.
"Quick! Catch her!" the guard shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice breaking through the silence of the night sky. His voice was like thunder, echoing around.
Hearing the shout, other guards rushed over from all directions, holding swords and shields, their eyes sharp and vigilant.
However, at this moment, Qin Rubing showed amazing speed and skills.
She quickly activated the illusion technique, and her figure instantly became blurry.
As if she turned into a flash of lightning, she shuttled through the crowd at an extremely fast speed, making it impossible for the guards to catch sight of her.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Rubing had disappeared into the night, leaving the guards staring in astonishment at the direction she left, at a loss as to what to do.
They realized that they had been easily escaped by a seemingly weak woman, and their hearts were filled with resentment and anger.
But at this time, Qin Rubing had already gone far away, and they could only helplessly watch her back gradually disappear into the darkness.
She secretly rejoiced that she had escaped, but the doubts in her heart grew even deeper.
Why did Chu Tianxing meet with the Queen in secret? What were they planning? Qin Rubing decided to find out the truth no matter what.
After Qin Rubing escaped from the palace, she looked for a safe place.
Finally, she found a "safe house" hidden in a corner of the city.
This looks like just an ordinary house, but it is actually a shelter she prepared in advance.
She knew very well that she could not stay here for long, but at the moment she was physically and mentally exhausted and urgently needed a moment of respite and adjustment.
Walking outside alone at night is too conspicuous and can easily attract other people's attention.
Therefore, she decided to hide here for the time being and wait for the right time to leave.
child time.
In order to find out the true intentions of Chu Tianxing and the Queen, Qin Rubing decided to take the risk and sneak into the palace again.
Chu Tianxing would never have thought that she would make a surprise attack tonight. He was hunting her down all over the city.
This time, she was more cautious and used her wisdom and skills to successfully bypass all the guards.
When she arrived outside the palace where Chu Tianxing had just been, she found that there was no one inside.
Qin Rubing couldn't help but feel puzzled. She looked everywhere for clues and finally found a burnt letter on the desk.
The letter paper was not completely burned, leaving only a few intermittent and unclear words, but these few words were enough to shock her.
"...Princess..."
"... Queen..."
"…Instead…"
Her eyes widened, unable to believe what she saw.
It turned out that Chu Tianxing and the Queen were secretly planning a conspiracy against her!
What does it mean to replace it?
She felt a chill run up her spine, her heart filled with fear and anger.
Why did they do this? Was it because they were jealous of her status and power? Or was there some deeper reason?
She clenched her fists tightly and decided to find out the truth and not let their conspiracy succeed.
After Qin Rubing returned to Chaoyang Garden, she tried to search for Chu Tiancheng's location through "Xiao Yu", but to no avail.
The woman in the black cloak appeared in her mind. She always felt that her expression was a little strange, as if she was completely different from the queen she usually saw.
Is she the queen?
