Mozun married to

Teng Yu knew more about the terrain of the palace than Yin Xu, even in the remote Lenggong, he could find the safest route.The two emerged from a pond and looked around to make sure no one had come ashore.

Teng Yuyun worked hard to dry Yin Xu's clothes. Although it was summer, it was not cold in the water, but they couldn't follow people with water droplets all over their bodies. It would be strange not to be discovered.

Yin Xu looked back at the pond he came out of just now. The water in the pond was very deep, with a few lotus flowers growing here and there. There were a few old trees on the bank, which were lush but also a little messy.

"This pool is flowing and connected to the river outside. I also discovered it by accident. Passing through this courtyard gate is the Leng Palace. This small garden was built for a favored concubine in the early years, and later it became a garden. After the cold palace, this garden will also lose." Teng Yu explained to Yin Xu while drying his clothes.

He didn't tell Yin Xu this in advance, just to prevent him from sneaking in alone.

This road is definitely safer than Yin Xu's own investigation.

Yin Xu nodded, and put an invisibility talisman on the two of them after he was dry. Although it was not the first time Teng Yu used this, he had to sigh every time: I really found a good partner, powerful and Complete, with this thing, there is no need to worry about insecurity.

The two walked out of the small garden together, and found the residence of the concubine according to the place marked earlier.

Yin Xu came here in the dark at night, and he mainly remembered the terrain, so he didn't take a closer look at this place called Lenggong.

It was just getting dark now, and there was still some light around, allowing him to see more clearly.

The so-called Lenggong is actually an abandoned palace. It has been in disrepair for a long time, the houses look old, the courtyard is messy and overgrown with weeds.

Where they passed, they could occasionally see one or two crazy women, all with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. Also in the imperial city, this place was like a slum.

They didn't care about how the women in the cold palace were doing. After finding the place to go, the two jumped onto the roof, lowered their bodies and lay down on the roof, waiting for Lai Jiquan to appear.

The underside of the roof is facing the concubine's bedroom. I can faintly hear the singing, the voice is hoarse and the tone is weird. If I listen to it at night, I will definitely feel terrified.

Both Yin Xu and Teng Yu knew about this concubine's life story. She was a favorite concubine of the late emperor. Following Emperor Dechang, at that time Emperor Dechang was still an inconspicuous prince with no status in the palace. As his servant, Lai Jiquan naturally would not live very well.

Once he bumped into the eldest prince at that time, and he was about to be dragged down and beaten to death with a stick. It was this beloved concubine who saved him, although the other party did that only because he didn't want the eldest prince to be happy.

Later, the emperor got old, and several princes fought fiercely. In a poisoning incident, this concubine was successfully framed, so that she was deprived of her title by the late emperor and thrown into the cold palace.

Later, Emperor Dechang gradually stood out and ascended to the throne. As his confidant, Lai Jiquan also became the chief executive. For the concubine who was thrown into the cold palace, he didn't know if he had a heart of repaying her, and took special care of her.

But even so, after so many years, the unparalleled beauty and concubine is now just a delirious old woman, guarding this square inch of land until she dies of old age.

"Here we come." Teng Yu wrote two words on the back of Yin Xu's hand.

Yin Xu quietly raised his head and looked at the direction he came from. Sure enough, he saw Lai Jiquan walking slowly, followed by two young eunuchs, one with a food box in his hand and the other with a bundle.

"Okay, give the things to our family, you go back first, the empress doesn't want to see outsiders, otherwise these things will definitely be thrown out by her again."

"Yes, father-in-law." It's probably not the first time that the two young eunuchs followed Lai Jiquan, obediently saluted, and exited the confines of the cold palace.

Teng Yu lowered Yin Xu's head a little. Although they were wearing invisibility charms, people with advanced skills are also very sensitive to sight, and he would feel it if he stared at him for a long time.

After dismissing the people, Lai Jiquan walked into the relatively tidy courtyard with his things. He knocked on the door politely first, and said softly, "Ma'am, the servant is here to see you."

The woman inside didn't respond, but the singing stopped for a moment and then resumed.

Lai Jiquan pushed the door open, walked up to the old woman with the food box, half-kneeled on the ground, opened the food box, and placed the food on the low table one by one.

"Look, the servant brought you your favorite pigeon soup, osmanthus fish, it's still warm, you should eat it while it's hot."

"No... I won't eat..." The old woman waved her hands back as if frightened, and hid in the corner of the wall.

Teng Yu and Yin Xu looked down through the gaps in the tiles, and saw Lai Jiquan set up the food, and walked up to the old woman with a chopstick, and fed her very patiently.

Such a picture looked very warm, but the old woman didn't cooperate, and kept her mouth shut and refused to eat.

Lai Jiquan persuaded him for a while, then lost his patience. He pinched the old woman's chin with one hand, and stuffed the food from the chopsticks into her mouth with the other hand, "Eat some at least, how can you improve your health if you don't eat? My servant changed my mind." Will you invite an imperial physician to take your pulse?"

Yin Xu saw the old guy pat the old woman on the back, let the other person swallow the food, and at the same time heard him whispering to himself: "You, you have lived for so many years, you should be content, If it wasn't for the slaves who took care of you these years, you would have died long ago, right?"

"Woooo..." The old woman tried to avoid Lai Jiquan's forced feeding, but who was Lai Jiquan, how could such a master let her succeed.

After pouring down another half bowl of soup, Lai Jiquan stopped, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his fingers, "You, I should really thank this servant, I have kept your life alive for so many years, do you know How much does the emperor hate you? If I hadn't said something, you would have become a pile of bones by now."

"Ah..." Suddenly, the old woman yelled, rolled on the ground with her stomach in her arms, her face was sallow and terrible.

Lai Jiquan stuffed the handkerchief into her mouth, sealed the acupuncture points of her hands and feet, and muttered: "You must be in pain, right? But you should get used to it. Don't forget, you were drunk by the servant's sister back then. This one also broke her tendons, cut off her tongue, and gouged out her eyes, just because she broke a cup bestowed by the late emperor when you were upset."

"You saved the slave's life back then, so the slave should repay you well. This kind of grievance cannot be evened out, so the slave came up with this method to keep you alive for a long time, and occasionally replace me Poor sister, find some justice, you say it's fair, right?"

Lai Jiquan sat on the sidelines and watched coldly for half an hour, until the old woman passed out, and then stuffed a pill into her mouth, "Look, this slave didn't really intend to take your life, he suffers once a month, so does this slave A lot."

Both Yin Xu and Teng Yu were amazed by the development of this story. There was no such thing in the information they found, and they didn't know that Lai Jiquan had a younger sister in the palace in his early years, and it seemed that he was tortured to death by this old woman.

And the reason why Lai Jiquan came to the cold palace every month was not to take care of his benefactor who was kind to him, but to torture this enemy who had a grudge against him.

But if this is the case, what does this have to do with his drugging the emperor?

No matter how you look at it, this matter seems to be his own private matter. Could it be that the emperor also killed some of his relatives back then?

Teng Yu immediately vetoed this idea. There are too many opportunities for Lai Jiquan to harm the emperor. If this is the case, it is impossible to wait until now.

Just when the two were puzzled, there was a sudden light sound from under the roof. The two looked at the source of the sound at the same time, and saw a man in a cloak coming out of a secret passage.

Yin Xu and Teng Yu looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes. It turned out that this cold palace can still be used like this.

"Do you know there is a secret way here?" Yin Xu wrote on Teng Yu's palm.

Teng Yu shook his head, he only came here to see it back then, he had never entered the palace here, so naturally he would not know about the secret way.

"You are too cruel and merciless. You even attacked an old woman."

"My lord was joking. To deal with my enemies, I believe you will be a hundred times more ruthless than me!"

"Haha... That's true. This king doesn't have the patience to spend decades torturing a person."

The man turned his back to Yin Xu, Yin Xu couldn't see his face, but he could vaguely guess his identity from Lai Jiquan's address, and Teng Yu quickly wrote two words in his hand: King of Qin.

Yin Xu's eyes were fixed, his eyes were deep, and he thought to himself: It really is him.
