Chapter 45
After the three parted ways, Qiao Yiqi and Huo Chen returned to the palace, ready to search for some clues from the palace.
It's the time to go to court, and many officials and ministers are waiting to enter the palace.
Qiao Yiqi looked at those people. They were wearing the same clothes and holding signs in their hands, and they were being inspected respectfully.
"Brother Qi is looking at who?" Huo Chen saw that Qiao Yiqi hadn't moved for a long time, so he also looked in the direction he was looking.
But there was nothing but a crowd of officials.
"There's a strange person over there." He motioned him to look carefully, "There's the seventh one over there."
Huo Chen looked at what Qiao Yiqi said, and found that this person was different.
Everyone else was rushing to enter the palace, but he was secretly looking around, as if he was looking for something.Even though it was very hidden, it still couldn't escape Qiao Yiqi's eyes.
"He... is also a player?" Apart from this, Huo Chen couldn't think of other possibilities.
"Well, he shouldn't be an old player."
"?!" Now even Huo Chen was surprised, "Isn't it an old player? A newcomer came to the Seven Star dungeon?"
But it was just a surprise.
Not to mention Huo Chen, Qiao Yiqi was also very surprised when he came to this conclusion. Although the dungeon of this newcomer is not as dangerous as his dungeon, being able to be in the Qixing dungeon is enough to show that this system wants to push this newcomer to death. Survive and become the ultimate leader.
"Maybe, hopefully he survives."
He doesn't have the spare time to help someone who has nothing to do with him.
Huo Chen didn't really want Qiao Yiqi to help that person, it would distract him, he hoped his attention would always be on him.
After waiting until all the ministers and officials had entered, the two slowly entered the palace.
Sleepless all night made them feel a little tired.
Back in Huo Chen's palace, Qiao Yiqi just fell asleep.
Unlike him, Huo Chen just sat by the bed and thought about something.
For example... those strange scenes on the street.
He felt inexplicably familiar, but also a little guilty.
Emotionally he knew he should tell his boyfriend, but his mind told him not to.
Seeing Qiao Yiqi's exhausted appearance, his heart ached.
Huo Chen thought about it, and decided to go around the Queen's Palace to see if there were any new clues.
Qiao Yiqi felt refreshed after waking up after a good night's sleep.
Stretching her waist and yawning, she realized that Huo Chen was not by her side.
He went outside to look for it, but there was no one.
Just when he was feeling very confused, Huo Chen came back.
"Are you up?" Huo Chen frowned as soon as he finished speaking, "Put on your shoes, you won't be afraid of freezing your feet, the cold rises from your feet, you know?"
Hearing Huo Chen's words, he realized that he came out without shoes.
Qiao Yiqi coughed in embarrassment, "Well, didn't I just see that you weren't here? Where did you go?"
"Go to the queen's palace." Huo Chen replied.
"Any new clues?"
"The queen seemed normal, but so normal that it didn't feel normal."
"How to say?"
"She seems to have expected this kind of thing to happen in the harem, so she doesn't care too much about the reaction of Concubine Li and the death of the woman who has not been named Jieyu. She even said to follow the rules."
"Follow the rules?" Qiao Yiqi repeated, thinking about this sentence over and over again, "Have you ever asked her about Queen Yuan's witchcraft?"
"Yes, but she said that it was the Empress Yuan who did things first and was reported later. It is only natural for the emperor to be angry. And...she was promoted by the emperor after the Empress Yuan was deposed and gave birth to the prince. As the empress, that is to say... Empress Yuan was reported as a witch when she was pregnant."
"Oh, it looks like Empress Yuan had such a miserable life." Qiao Yiqi said, seeming to feel sorry for Empress Yuan, but in fact, nothing could be seen in her eyes.
"I actually think that the queen is the real problem now."
Qiao Yiqi didn't answer him, but instead asked another question, "Has the emperor decided when to go to Lingyin Temple?"
Huo Chen was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Not yet, I guess it will be decided when I go to court today, and Lingyin Temple is not far away, it should be in the next few days."
"Oh, that's fine."
"what happened?"
"Who will go? Is the queen going too?"
"The empress won't go. The emperor went to pray for the general, to mourn the empress dowager, and to take care of recent events in the palace." Speaking of this, Huo Chen remembered some gossip he heard on the way back just now. , "I heard that after Empress Yuan was abolished, it was the Empress Dowager who begged for mercy and still treated her with empress etiquette, but unfortunately she still died in the fire."
"Empress Dowager? So...the Empress Dowager also knows about this matter?"
"I should know, after all, if the Empress Dowager doesn't come forward to protect her, Empress Yuan may be killed directly." Huo Chen said what he had heard.
Qiao Yiqi felt that this dungeon was coming to an end, because the truth was very close.
"Okay, don't think about it, let's eat. It's been a long time since I've been back, and I haven't eaten yet."
During the meal break, a young eunuch came to tell Huo Chen, "My lord, the emperor said that I will go to Lingyin Temple tomorrow."
Hearing what the little eunuch said, both of them were shocked, tomorrow?
I was still talking about going to Lingyin Temple just now, but now there is news that I will go tomorrow. Is the emperor in such a hurry?
"Reliable news?"
"It's absolutely true, just now the young one came from the front and heard what Eunuch De beside the emperor said."
They put down their chopsticks before taking a few bites of the meal that was served just now, "Okay, I understand, you go down first."
"Why is the old emperor going tomorrow?"
"I'm going tomorrow, so the Ministry of Rites hasn't prepared all the things yet, so it's a bit rushed, but it's not impossible, after all, the emperor just mentioned this to you yesterday." Qiao Yiqi replied.
"Then are we going to find other players today?"
In fact, Huo Chen didn't want to find other people. After all, apart from the fact that the dungeon was not human, those people looked ugly when they died, and a little nauseated, but everything else was pretty good.
Qiao Yiqi glanced at him, and saw the little Jiujiu in his heart at a glance: "I just returned to the palace, okay, I haven't had enough rest yet, anyway, they will go to Lingyin Temple tomorrow, so it won't be too late to find them then."
Hearing his words, Huo Chen laughed a little, "Okay, okay, of course."
"Do you think the people in the palace might be those monsters last night?"
"I can't tell. After all, the people outside may be monsters, and the people in the palace may also be. It's really impossible to verify it again tonight, wouldn't it be good?"
Huo Chen thought about it and thought it was okay, so he agreed.
The author has something to say:
This... the real truth is that the author doesn't know, so don't test it, don't test it, you can't help it.
I can only learn from some general backgrounds, and the truth of the things in it all serve this dungeon.
