Riding the Pheonix Chapter 512: Handwriting

"Miss Mingqi, where are you going?"

As soon as Mingwei stood up, Madam Bolinghou asked.

Mingwei bowed slightly and replied with a bit of embarrassment: "I drank too much honey water and wanted to change my clothes. The imperial concubine was here just now, so I was embarrassed, so..."

Mrs. Bolinghou smiled and nodded: "Be careful, don't go wrong." Then she asked her maid to go with her.

Mrs. Boling Hou is not careless, but Mingwei has made up her mind to run away, and how can a maid see it?

After entering Gong's room, he winked at Duofu and quietly climbed out of the window.

The maids who accompanied them and the palace servants who were waiting here did not notice anything unusual at all, so they passed away in confusion.

……

The personal attendant accompanied Concubine Pei back, and while helping her change, she complained: "How can these little palace ladies learn the rules, and they have already served you, and they are still so careless. It is because the empress has a good temper. Otherwise, a meal is inevitable."

Concubine Pei gathered her clothes and said lightly: "What are you fussing about over a trivial matter? Just in time, I'm tired, so I'll rest for a while. You'll call me again later."

"Yes." The palace people stopped talking wisely and retreated one by one.

Everyone was gone. Concubine Pei shook off her sleeves and held an inconspicuous ball of paper between her exposed fingers.

She slowly unfolded it and her eyes froze.

Only four words were written on the ball of paper.

See you at the Moon Pavilion.

Concubine Pei's hands shook and she could hardly hold the paper ball.

Wangyue Pavilion is a small pavilion in the back garden of Taiyuan Palace. It is surrounded by trees and is very remote and quiet.

I made an appointment there, I guess it was to avoid being noticed.

Under normal circumstances, Concubine Pei would just ignore it when she saw something like this.

She knew very well that she was the most favored person in the Sixth Palace, and in the eyes of the concubines in the harem, she was a clear target. The Pei family was indifferent, and the only thing she could control was the emperor's favor.

So, no matter how others provoke her, as long as she does not do unnecessary things, she will not lose the emperor's trust.

However, she couldn't ignore this paper ball.

She recognized the handwriting on it.

That was the past that appeared in her dreams countless nights but could not be retrieved.

King of Yongxi.

How could the handwriting of a man who has been dead for more than 20 years appear here?

And it was passed to her through a little palace maid?

Concubine Pei tried her best to suppress her rapid breathing.

She knew that this matter was full of doubts.

King Yongxi has been dead for more than twenty years, and someone clearly used his handwriting to lure him out deliberately.

If you can't tell whether this person is malicious or kind, it's best to sit back and pretend it never happened.

But she couldn't help thinking, what if this person was closely related to King Yongxi? Will you miss important news?

She even had a ridiculous idea.

Is it possible that he is not dead yet?

Reason told her that this was impossible. Because she experienced the massacre personally, and only four people left alive in the end. Second Master Yang, Fu Jin, her, and the newly born Yang Shu.

But she couldn't help but think, maybe there was something wrong with it? After all, she didn't collect the body herself. In the tragic situation at that time, maybe someone misidentified the body?

Concubine Pei was restless.

I stood up for a moment, took two steps, and then sat down again.

Don't be impulsive, she advised herself. The emperor has become more gloomy in the past two years. If he makes a mistake, the forbearance of the past twenty years will be in vain. Even if he is really alive, now is not a good time to meet him.

But...

She finally stood up suddenly.

No, now that she knows the news, how can she endure it any longer? Even if this is a trap, we must see what happens!

Concubine Pei opened the back window and climbed up carefully on the round stool.

When her figure left the apse, the prince immediately received the news.

"She really went?"

"Yes."

The prince smiled cheerfully and was very satisfied.

"As expected, it seems that this matter is absolutely true!"

Concubine Pei is such a stable person. If she were not Princess Yongxi, she would only be confused when she saw the note. How could she follow it easily?

"His Royal Highness is really clever and came up with such a good idea. It is difficult for others to find the handwriting of King Yongxi, but there are old things preserved in the East Palace. He just asked someone to write a copy of the note, so that the truth could not be hidden."

The compliments of the guards made the prince even more proud. He turned around and said, "Let's go! Now that the imperial concubine has been tricked, we should move on to the next step."

……

King Xin was following behind them. Seeing the prince turning around, he couldn't figure out his intention for a while.

Just as he was considering whether to hide, the prince who was walking quickly saw the hem of his clothes.

"Second brother?"

King Xin walked out from the corner with a gentle smile: "So the eldest brother is here. The younger brother drank too much and was a little bored, so he went out for a walk. Is it the same for the eldest brother?"

He responded quickly and gave the reason first, but then told the prince that it was difficult to answer the question.

The prince was silent for a moment, thinking that King Xin had scolded him so much, but his face showed a hint of drunkenness. He stumbled deliberately and said, "What else? You know that Gu Yi has always been very drunk." He paused, as if he was drunk. With a mocking smile, "Second brother, are you really walking around casually instead of following me?"

King Xin's tone became more gentle: "How could it be? It's really just a coincidence."

"Haha, you are talking now~IndoMTL.com~ I can't believe it." The prince looked at him sideways, showing a half-drunk look, and his tone turned sad, "I really don't know how our brothers became like this, Er The relationship of more than ten years is not as attractive as the throne. Second brother, tell me the truth. Have you never regarded Gu as your brother?"

King Xin couldn't figure out his way for a while and didn't know how to answer: "Brother..."

The prince grabbed his sleeve, pretended to be drunk, and started crying: "You still know how to call me eldest brother! Second brother, I'm so sad! For more than 20 years, we studied together, got into trouble together, and suffered from father-in-law together. Are the emperor's scoldings false in the end? Are our feelings really not as important as the throne?"

Although the two sides have been incompatible with each other for a long time, King Xin has never let go of his superficial skills. When he heard what he said, he quickly denied it: "Brother, you misunderstood..."

The prince pulled him away and staggered to the other side: "Look, you don't tell the truth now! But Gu is still reluctant to let go! Second brother, let's talk about it. Is it really irreversible? I promised back then that we brothers would be rich and powerful together... Second brother, look, the moonlight is so beautiful today. It's been a long time since we admired the moon together..."

"Brother..."

Based on intuition, I believe the king does not believe the prince. This prince didn't have much talent, but he was a narrow-minded lord. When he discovered his ambition, he never looked down upon him again.

But he couldn't understand the prince's intention of doing this, and it was hard to fall out.

After all, he is neither the direct descendant nor the elder. Compared with the prince, he only has the advantage of good reputation. If he turns against the prince at will, it will be difficult to fight in the future.

King Xin winked at his bodyguard, but his bodyguard was grabbed by the prince's bodyguard, and he was accidentally dragged away by the "drunk" prince.
