The time has passed, the night is as deep as ink, and in the vast but empty palace, it is very quiet at this moment.

A man in a black robe and a black hat hurriedly walked through the deserted alley, the light was dim, and his face could not be seen clearly.He was holding a big white duck in his arms. The big white duck's small black bean-like eyes were staring straight ahead, and there were two words of "quack" in his mouth, as if urging him to go faster.

He didn't stop until he reached a remote corner.He looked around vigilantly, and after making sure no one was there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked down at the thick grass growing by the wall, squinted his eyes, and then put down 13579 in his arms, and squatted down to push the grass away.

Behind the thick grass is a hole.

To be more precise, it is a dog hole.

He passed through about a month ago.At that time he wanted to escape from the palace.I never thought that he sneaked out of the palace this time, and he was actually going through a dog's hole.

He rolled up his sleeves, squatted on the ground, and quickly crawled through the dog hole.Maybe it's because he's lost weight recently? For some reason, this time he crawled over so easily, he didn't even feel his body being clamped.

After getting out, he patted the dust on his body, and then stood there as if nothing had happened.

13579 followed him out of the dog hole, and when she was picked up by?, she said a little embarrassedly: "Host, in fact, you didn't have to go into the dog hole just now. There are no outsiders here. I can take you out."

Yu Wenjin was puzzled: "You take me? How? Can you fly?"

"No, but..." 13579 smiled? Laughed: "I can? Go through walls."

"?!"

"With outsiders around, I'm sure I can't do anything, but if it's just us, I can still? Use a little skill."

"..." The corner of Yu Wenjin's mouth twitched? Twitch: "Then why didn't you say it earlier? I've already got out!"

"Then who made you so familiar with your movements, you got out before I even had time to speak?"

"........."

Yu Wenjin wanted to throw her out.

But in the end Yu Wenjin still didn't throw her out, now? It's still business? It's important, it's so dark, I can't see anything clearly, and I still need her to show me the way.

In the night with only a little starlight, what the naked eye can see is almost pitch black. Yu Wenjin is just an ordinary person, so naturally he cannot see things in the dark.At this time, 13579 will come in handy?

According to the direction she was pointing, there was a light ahead? Only Yu Wenjin and her could see it. Yu Wenjin strode forward, and successfully avoided the night patrolling Kyoto guards.

Soon, we arrived in a quiet and dark alley.

13579 said: "Host, behind this wall is the ancestral hall of Xuanyuan Mansion. There is no one there. If we go directly through it, no one will find it."

Yu Wenjin was dubious: "Can you really go through the wall?"

13579 is extremely confident: "I may not have any other skills, but I can still do such a small thing!"

"is it?"

Given that 13579 was not very useful before, Yu Wenjin still has doubts about it.After all, he really has never seen the ability to pass through a wall.

This kind of thing seemed to only happen in the fantasy scripts he had read before.

13579 said: "Host, hold me, don't let go, I'm going to take you on a flowery road~!"

"..." What kind of weird word is this, where are the flowers?It was dark all around, and I couldn't see anything.

But Yu Wenjin still hugged 13579 tightly, and couldn't help feeling nervous.

"Go straight ahead." 13579 said.

Yu Wenjin nodded, and walked towards the wall in front of him very cooperatively.When he was about to bump into it, Yu Wenjin paused for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, he continued to walk forward.

And then, the wall directly in front of him was like a soft whirlpool. He thought he was going to bump into it, but in the end he went right in.

Walked two steps, walked through and passed, and then stood still.

In front of him is a secluded courtyard, and there is a little light in the house not far away, probably where the ancestral hall of Xuanyuan Mansion mentioned in 13579 is located?

Yu Wenjin's eyes were full of shock, and he blinked hard? Blinked, then raised his hand to his face? Pinched hard.It will hurt!He is not dreaming!

He turned around and stretched out his hand to touch the wall. At this time, the wall had returned to normal, cold and solid, and there was still a dull sound when knocked.

A look of surprise appeared on Yu Wenjin's face, and he passed through the wall!This kind of thing that only appeared in the script can actually happen in real life!Isn't he really dreaming!

He smiled and said: "Xiao Jiu, let's play again, I didn't realize it just now."

"...Host, do you still remember that you came here for business? Stop playing? Hurry up and do business?!"

Yu Wenjin curled his lips? He curled his lips, a little disappointed.All right, let's do things first? Let's do things first. Anyway, there will be more time to play in the future.There is light in the ancestral hall not far away, and it is not known whether it is the rule of Xuanyuan Mansion to light the lamps for the ancestors at night, or it is so late at night that someone is worshiping in the ancestral hall.

Yu Wenjin walked lightly towards that side.

In the dimly lit ancestral hall, someone knelt in front of the tablets of the ancestors of the Xuanyuan family.Her long hair reaches her waist, tied in a bun, and her dark red clothes don't match the environment here.

She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes as if she was praying for something.

When Yu Wenjin walked over, she immediately opened her eyes and turned her head abruptly.And the last thing I saw was a man wearing a black robe and a black hat whose face could not be seen clearly.

She immediately took out a dagger from her cuff, with a cold light on the blade, and pointed the sharp end at him: "Who are you? How did you get in?"

"Mrs. Xuanyuan." Yu Wenjin said lightly, raised his hand and took off the black hat on his head, smiling.

Xu Jingshu was taken aback for a moment, then was surprised: "Your Majesty?"

Yu Wenjin nodded, then glanced at the tablets behind her, and said again: "It's so late at night, I didn't expect Mrs. Xuanyuan to still worship the ancestors of the Xuanyuan family here."

Xu Jingshu withdrew the dagger and saluted: "I was so abrupt just now, I thought I was an assassin, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It's okay, I'm here because I have something to do? I want to ask Mrs. Xuanyuan," Yu Wenjin walked into the door of the ancestral hall: "It just so happens that Mrs. Xuanyuan would not tell lies to deceive you in front of the ancestors of your Xuanyuan family. I, right?"

Xu Jingshu pursed her lips tightly, and there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

She didn't know why Yu Wenjin came here late at night? What surprised her even more was that she heard that His Majesty only knows a little bit of flamboyant moves. How did he manage to come here without disturbing any guards in Xuanyuan Mansion? Where is the ancestral hall located deep in Xuanyuan Mansion?

She cautiously looked behind Yu Wenjin, but there was no one behind him.And? What he held in his arms was just a big white duck.

Nothing else, nothing.

She secretly took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty wants to know? What, I will tell you the truth."

"Does Madam Xuanyuan know my mother?"

Xu Jingshu was stunned for a moment, surprise quickly appeared in her eyes.She clenched her hands in front of her involuntarily, the surprise on her face was not concealed for a while, and then fell into Yu Wenjin's eyes.

Then Yu Wenjin confirmed it? Mrs. Xuanyuan really knew her mother.

But, it's strange, he never heard his mother mention Madam Xuanyuan before.When did they meet?

Xu Jingshu's eyes were a little evasive. She didn't expect Yu Wenjin to bring this up suddenly? She also seemed to want to avoid this topic.

Yu Wenjin glanced at her, and said again: "Mrs. Xuanyuan, my time is precious, so I won't talk nonsense to you? Today, the mother of Concubine Yu, the second wife of the Zou family, entered the palace? I accidentally I learned that she wanted to kill you, and the reason why she killed you was related to my mother. I want to know the detailed reasons."

Xu Jingshu pursed her lips and frowned.

She looked solemn, but she didn't seem to be surprised or surprised by the fact that the second wife of the Zou family wanted to kill her.She was so calm, it seemed as if she had guessed it long ago? The fact that the second wife of the Zou family wanted to kill her to silence her?

But Yu Wenjin was sure almost immediately that there was something else hidden behind this matter.Great secrets about his mother.

"Mrs. Xuanyuan?" Yu Wenjin reminded: "If you don't want to say it now, then I will have to send someone to invite you into the palace tomorrow? I hope you can tell the truth when the time comes."

He made a gesture and turned to leave.

"Your Majesty," Xu Jingshu stopped? He said, "It's not that my wife doesn't want to tell you. It's just that I was just thinking about how to explain to Your Majesty what my wife knows?"

"If Mrs. Xuanyuan doesn't know? Where should I start? Then let me tell you why the second lady of the Zou family wants to kill you."

Yu Wenjin walked up to the tablet, picked up the three incense candles in front of the tablet, lit them, held them in his hands, bowed three times, and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the tablet.

And then he turned around and looked at Xu Jingshu: "Madam Xuanyuan knows? What should I not know?"

Xu Jingshu sighed: "The reason why the second wife of the Zou family wants to kill me is probably because I have had a relationship with the empress dowager. The night before the empress dowager passed away, she secretly sent someone to give it to me. A letter."

"What was written in the letter?"

"There are only two sentences in the letter: Madam and general, please help my family, Jin'er, to guard Daliang, and, be careful? The second wife of the Zou family."

"..."

"Actually, I didn't understand what that meant at the time. I wanted to ask the concubine the next time I saw the empress dowager, but on the second day there was news that the empress dowager had died of a sudden serious illness. I Didn't it show up before? I had a relationship with the empress dowager, and? My husband was not in the capital at that time, and after the news of the empress dowager's death, I couldn't even enter the palace to see the situation."

Xu Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "The incident happened suddenly, and there are many doubts. The empress dowager never wrote me a letter, let alone such a strange letter. Also, in the empress dowager Five days before her death, she went to the Yufo Temple to worship. At that time, I was with the empress dowager. She was in good health and never had any symptoms of discomfort. She said it was a sudden serious illness, but how... how could it be so And so many imperial physicians in the palace are helpless, saying that it is a serious illness, but in fact it is more like..."

Xu Jingshu didn't continue.She frowned tightly, eyes full of unbearable.

Yu Wenjin frowned, and his voice couldn't help becoming serious: "What is it more like?"

"...Poisoned."

He clenched his hands into fists, the knuckles of his hands turned slightly white from the exertion, and his bones creaked.

Poisoned...

Yu Wenjin suddenly felt dizzy.In the blink of an eye, there was a moment of darkness in front of him. With his eyes closed, he couldn't help but backed up and bumped into the "spiritual platform".

Xu Jingshu was surprised: "Your Majesty! What's wrong with you, Your Majesty?"

Yu Wenjin supported his forehead, supported the Lingtai with one hand, and supported his body with strength, and waved lightly with the other hand: "I'm all right?"

He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily to calm himself down.

He looked at Xu Jingshu, with anger in his eyes: "Madam Xuanyuan means that my mother didn't die of illness, but was poisoned. And the person who poisoned her is very Maybe it's the second wife of the Zou family?"

"Your Majesty, this is just my wife's guess, and there is no definite evidence to prove it, so..."

"She's coming to kill you, isn't that the best proof?" Yu Wenjin said coldly, "Obviously, she knows about you receiving the letter."

"..."

Yu Wenjin closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to stabilize his mood.

Looking at it now, there are really many, many things that he doesn't know about!

His mother is his only family member in this world, the only support he had left in the capital, if she was really poisoned and died...

He will definitely make that person pay a price that is a hundred times more painful than death at any cost!
