Chapter 218 Meeting the Master Sister in Person
As expected, Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen successfully entered the Dongli Palace.
"It was you who tore up the notice?" A cold and intimidating voice came from inside the palace.
Su Yueqing cleared her throat and deliberately changed her voice to a deep and vigorous voice, "Your Highness, it is me."
The man in the room sneered, "How do you know that I am the Crown Prince?"
Su Yueqing said calmly, "Your Highness is concerned about the safety of the Emperor, and everyone in Dongli knows this."
Su Yueqing's words flattered Jun Yuanxian in a light and not too heavy manner.
"You are good at talking, but I don't know if you can do things." Jun Yuanxian chuckled, with the majesty and oppression of a superior.
“Everyone in Dongli knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inherit the palace in the future, so we, the common people, will naturally follow His Royal Highness’s lead.” Su Yueqing grasped the attitude of a subordinate just right.
"Let them in." Jun Yuanxian said lazily, "Teach them the rules."
"If you don't listen, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs." Jun Yuanxian's sinister voice reached the outside through the doors and windows.
Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen looked at each other quietly, then followed the guards towards a palace.
Before entering the palace, a foul smell hit her in the face and Su Yueqing frowned slightly.
"Go in." The guard said coldly, holding a knife or gun, and mechanically opened the iron lock on the palace gate.
After pushing Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen in, the guard skillfully locked the iron lock and left.
Su Yueqing and Xiao Mochen walked towards the depths of the palace and vaguely heard bursts of wailing.
As the distance got closer, the faint wailing sounds by my ears became clearer and clearer.
"My husband, why is this palace so gloomy and chilling?" Su Yueqing whispered, "Isn't that Jun Yuanxian putting the old emperor under house arrest?"
"The Dongli royal family is probably not what it seems." Xiao Mochen said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid Jun Yuanxian's position as the crown prince is not stable."
Su Yueqing nodded in agreement, "My husband is right."
"What are you still standing there for?" The palace gate in front was opened, and an old maid with a ferocious face urged impatiently, "Come in and see the emperor."
Su Yueqing looked up at the old lady in front of her and raised her eyebrows slightly.
This old lady looked to be in her fifties, old and weak, but Su Yueqing just felt a deep inner strength in her.
She was not a nanny at all. She should be an assassin sent by Jun Yuanxian to monitor the palace.
"Coming." Su Yueqing pulled Xiao Mochen's sleeve and quickened her pace.
As soon as she stepped into the palace, Su Yueqing was shocked by the scene before her.
On the bed, there lay a dying old man. If his chest had not been rising and falling intermittently, Su Yueqing would have thought he had died.
Turning her eyes elsewhere, Su Yueqing saw a group of shivering people huddled in a corner.
When they looked at each other, Su Yueqing not only saw fear in their eyes, but also a hint of sympathy.
Their expressions seemed to be saying, here comes another unlucky guy.
"Qingqiu, His Highness has said that from today on, this place is in your hands." The old nanny turned to a young woman behind her and said, "Before you find out the whereabouts of the imperial seal, please spare the old emperor's life."
"Yes." There was no expression on the young woman's face and her eyes were cold.
Clear autumn?
Hearing this familiar name, Su Yueqing quietly raised her head and stole a few glances at the woman named Qingqiu.
Isn’t her senior sister called Leng Qingqiu?
Could it be that this Qingqiu and her senior sister are the same person?
Thinking of this, Su Yueqing couldn't contain her excitement.
If that was the case, she seemed to know why the eldest sister was able to escape unscathed after assassinating the emperor.
No, to be precise, the one who assassinated the emperor was not the eldest sister, but Jun Yuanxian!
After the old nanny finished giving her instructions, she opened the palace gate and left.
After Su Yueqing saw the old nanny leave, she looked at the girl opposite again.
The girl was dressed in plain white clothes, had a slender figure, cold eyes and eyebrows, and gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".
"Who are you?" The woman noticed Su Yueqing's gaze and raised her eyes to stare at Su Yueqing.
The look in Su Yueqing's eyes when she was looking at her did not have any malice in it. Instead, it seemed as if she was looking at an acquaintance.
It was as if she knew herself.
"I'm Su Buyan." Su Yueqing said, then turned her gaze to the old man on the bed, "I'm ordered to treat the emperor."
"This is my husband, Xiao Feng." Su Yueqing pointed at Xiao Mochen beside her.
The woman sneered, her words carrying a hidden murderous intent, "No need to treat him, just give him ginseng soup to keep him alive."
"What's your name, young lady?" Su Yueqing asked, trying to find a topic to talk about.
The woman looked at Su Yueqing and said calmly, "Leng Qingqiu."
The Leng family had been exterminated for decades, and her name was just three cold characters.
Hearing this name, Su Yueqing's eyes suddenly lit up.
It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
Her intuition told her that this cold and beautiful woman was their senior sister!
However, for the sake of rigor, Su Yueqing did not show any abnormality.
"Stay here and you will die when the old emperor dies." Leng Qingqiu said calmly.
Su Yueqing understood that Jun Yuanxian was looking for famous doctors just to show his so-called filial piety.
The old emperor is now just a puppet.
He has survived until now because he has the jade seal that Jun Yuanxian cannot get.
Su Yueqing's brain raced. The Dongli royal family had already become a mess. If she stirred it up a little more, all the royal family members would be drowned in it.
......
After nightfall, Su Yueqing took advantage of the fact that no one was around and broke into Leng Qingqiu's room.
"What are you going to do?" Su Yueqing had just climbed in through the window when she heard Leng Qingqiu's gloomy voice.
Leng Qingqiu held the sword in both arms, his eyes full of vigilance.
"I'm looking for you." Su Yueqing smiled politely, "You are from the Shadow Sect, right?"
Hearing about the Shadow Gate, Leng Qingqiu's calm eyes fluctuated a little, but he didn't show it on his face, "Who are you?"
"I'm Su Yueqing," Su Yueqing revealed her identity directly, "your junior sister."
Su Yueqing would naturally not act so rashly as to reveal her identity right away.
Before looking for Leng Qingqiu, she first searched the system and exchanged 200 points for a consulting opportunity.
It was the system that told her that Leng Qingqiu was the senior sister her master had mentioned, who was kind, brave, and strong inside.
The fact that she received this kind of evaluation from the system proved that she was trustworthy.
That was why Su Yueqing dared to speak frankly.
Leng Qingqiu's pupils shrank slightly. She was very familiar with the name Su Yueqing.
This was the junior sister that the master often mentioned in front of her, and the master even showed her her portrait.
"You're lying. Su Yueqing doesn't look like this." Leng Qingqiu's eyes were still alert. "Who are you?"
Because Su Yueqing now looked so different from the portrait, she didn't dare to trust her easily.
Su Yueqing took out the Shadow Gate token that his master had given him, "Big Sister, this is what my master gave me. He said that when you see this, you will naturally understand."
"As for my appearance," Su Yueqing gently stroked her cheek, "If Senior Sister wants to see my original appearance, then I will tear it apart..."
Before Su Yueqing finished speaking, her right hand was held by the other party, "No need, Junior Sister."
When Leng Qingqiu saw the token and Su Yueqing's actions, he understood everything in an instant.
"Qingqing, what are you doing here?" Leng Qingqiu rarely put away his cold face, "It's very dangerous here."
"What are you going to do?" Leng Qingqiu asked.
"Just like Senior Sister, kill all of these Dongli royal family members." Su Yueqing said calmly, "Support the capable to take the throne."
"Jun Yuansheng?" Leng Qingqiu asked.
Su Yueqing nodded, "And Jun Huaijin."
Although Leng Qingqiu had never dealt with this junior sister, her master told her many things in the letter.
She didn't expect that the Dongli God of War Jun Huaijin was still alive.
"In three days, Jun Yuanqi will force the emperor to abdicate." Leng Qingqiu said, "That will be a great opportunity."
