While Chen Yutian was confronting the black-robed Imperial Master in the palace, in the back garden of the palace, in the palace of Ninth Princess Lang Yue, several people from the Jiulong Mansion gathered together, as if they were waiting for something.
"Brother Chen has been gone for so long, why haven't you come back yet?" Lang Yue looked at the empty avenue outside the palace door, slightly anxious.
Gongsun took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Ninth Princess, there is no need to worry. Brother Yi Chen's ability is more than enough to deal with such a situation, but Ninth Princess, you must be mentally prepared."
Hearing this, Lang Yue felt slightly suspicious and asked in a deep voice, "What does Mr. Gongsun mean by this?"
Gongsun smiled slightly, but did not say anything clearly. Instead, he glanced in a certain direction and said, "Princess, you should be able to figure it out."
The Ninth Princess was confused.
On the side, Xuan Xi followed Gongsun's line of sight and looked over, but only saw a closed window. She frowned slightly.
Xue Tianhan looked at the direction of the window, smiled faintly, and then said helplessly, "Since when have you become so fond of showing off your words..."
Gongsun smiled slightly, "Some words can be said clearly, but some words must be understood by oneself..."
Listening to the mysterious and mysterious conversation between the two of them, the four women present could not help but be stunned.
"What...are you talking about?" Ling Miaoyin asked in confusion.
Xue Tianhan replied directly: "Just open that window and take a look."
Tang Fengling immediately walked to the window and reached out to open the window. Suddenly, a blazing sun shone in, and at the same time, a distant scene appeared in everyone's eyes.
Outside the window, there is a lush forest of tall trees. Looking across the woods, you can faintly see the ruins of the burned-out cold palace, exuding a sense of desolation.
The moment they saw the ruins of Leng Palace, the delicate bodies of the four women were all shocked!
Especially Lang Yue's expression changed almost instantly!
She already understood what Gongsun meant.
"Sir, do you mean that the disappearance of the Eighth Prince Sister will also be blamed on the mother-in-law?" She was slightly silent.
Gongsun nodded slightly, "Yes, and no."
Lang Yue suddenly raised her head, confusion appearing in her eyes again.
"Speak humanly." Xuan Xi glanced at Gongsun helplessly.
"The time when the eighth princess disappeared was roughly the same time as the time when Concubine Ling disappeared from the fire. This is too coincidental. There is no guarantee that Jieli Khan and other ministers will not become suspicious. In addition, there are people at the scene who are provoking..."
Gongsun put down his teacup and spoke slowly.
All the girls nodded. They also thought of this when they saw the ruins of Leng Palace.
"There are too many coincidences in timing between these two things. If it were me, I would be suspicious." Ling Miaoyin pondered for a moment and said, "Besides, the black-robed Imperial Master will definitely add fuel to the fire and guide his thoughts..."
Speaking of the black-robed Imperial Master, Lang Yue remembered the scene last night where he couldn't help but insist that his mother-in-law was the real culprit, and she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"This person...should be killed!"
Gongsun looked at Ling Miaoyin and said with a smile: "Your analysis is correct, but not correct either."
Ling Miaoyin looked at him.
"The disappearance of the Eighth Princess and Concubine Ling, a coincidence in time, will indeed be used by the Imperial Master, but is this really just a simple coincidence?"
As soon as Gongsun finished speaking, the expressions of the four women changed at the same time!
"Could it be..." A bright light flashed in Lang Yue's eyes, and her pretty face immediately turned cold, "This was a trap that had been set up long ago. Whether it was the disappearance of the mother-in-law at the fire scene or the disappearance of the eighth sister, it was all someone with a deliberate intention. Just play good chess?"
"That's right." At this time, Xue Tianhan nodded slightly and said, "But you also missed one thing, and that is the fire in Leng Palace."
Lang Yue's face gradually became gloomy.
"Indeed, these two things happened after the Cold Palace Fire. Without the fire, neither of these two things could have been completed." Ling Miaoyin nodded.
Xuan Xi also nodded, with a gloomy expression on his face, "Not only that, but talking about the disappearance of the eighth princess, I don't believe that the murderer just happened to sneak in when the princess's room was unguarded. And kidnapping the princess has such a relationship. Important matters must be planned in advance, so the murderer must be someone who knew early on that there would be a fire in the cold palace that night."
At this time, Lang Yue added: "And there is only one kind of person like this, and that is the person who planned the fire in the cold palace."
"Not bad!" Gongsun concluded, "Your analysis is good. From this, we can boldly infer that the so-called Cold Palace Fire was just a diversionary trick. The original purpose of these people was to kidnap the Eighth Princess and Ling Gong. Concubine, then take the opportunity to frame all these charges on the missing Concubine Ling."
Although his inference was bold, it was reasonable.
"What a sinister plan!" Lang Yue almost squeezed out these words through her teeth.
Xuan Xi, Tang Fengling and Ling Miaoyin were also surprised by the viciousness of this plan.
"I'm afraid it's more than that." At this time, Xue Tianhan said again, "From various signs, we can now confirm that the national preceptor must be one of the executors of this plan. From the time he went through a lot of trouble to enter the palace, to They spared no effort to frame Concubine Ling, and it can be seen that the power they can use is very huge. Such a huge force cannot be just to frame Concubine Ling. They should have a bigger purpose."
This statement made Lang Yue even more shocked!
"you mean……"
Xue Tianhan shook his head slightly, "Although their ultimate goal is not clear yet, it is obvious that they have not achieved this goal yet, so they should continue to act!"
…
…
Chen Yutian pondered and walked out of the palace.
He didn't need to read the script that was being played in the palace to know the outcome.
In other words, when he learned that the Eighth Princess disappeared during the fire in the Cold Palace, he thought of the fact that all of this was the result of someone's calculation.
He also thought that the so-called thoughtful person was definitely not just the black-robed national master, because even though he had a high status, he still did not have the power to complete the series of plans last night.
There must be someone else behind the national master, and this person must have the power to complete all the plans last night.
And there are not many people in this barbaric country with such abilities.
While realizing this, Chen Yutian naturally also understood that the other party's purpose could never be just to frame a spiritual concubine.
In other words, framing Ling Fei was just a move to achieve their goal.
However, judging from the actions of the national master who spared no effort to guide the frame-up, this move seems to be the one they must make!
Therefore, before reporting the progress of the investigation to Jie Li, he, Gongsun, and Xue Tianhan were aware of the National Preceptor's actions today.
He originally wanted to avoid such a situation from happening, but after thinking calmly, he realized that he couldn't stop it at all.
Because today, even if he doesn't take the initiative to tell the true time of the disappearance of the Eighth Princess, the Imperial Master will definitely tell it. And based on his ability in Jie Li's heart, as long as he says that he calculated it by himself, that's fine. any problem.
So no matter what your choice is, the outcome of today's events cannot be changed.
Therefore, Chen Yutian chose to let nature take its course.
Because he knew very well that the National Master and the forces behind him were bound to take action in order to achieve their ulterior motives.
This decision is undoubtedly dangerous.
Because he had no idea what actions the other party would take next. What consequences will it cause...
But Chen Yutian could only take a gamble.
There is no alternative.
Fortunately, he won the bet, and he had some unexpected gains in today's confrontation with the black-robed national master.
This harvest is aimed at the national teacher himself.
"Why... this is obviously the first time I've seen this person's face, but why... does he give me a very familiar feeling?"
Chen Yutian touched his chin and walked towards the palace of Ninth Princess Langyue while pondering.
In today's confrontation, especially the demeanor and tone of the Imperial Master's last words, gave Chen Yutian an extremely familiar feeling.
It feels like the person in front of you is someone you know very well.
But it was obvious that he had only met this person recently.
"what on earth is it?"
Chen Yutian lowered his head, his thoughts immersed in his mind, and he didn't see it at all. At this time, in the corridor where he was walking, not far in front, there were two young women walking towards him.
This is a pair of master and servant.
The owner was about twenty years old, and he was wearing standard barbarian-style clothes. When he walked, his gait was graceful and elegant, and he was obviously not an ordinary person.
The servants beside her looked a little older than her, in their mid-twenties.
She was wearing the maid's clothes that could be seen everywhere in the palace, and followed her master step by step.
This is a very ordinary palace maid.
She is also a very special palace maid.
Ordinary, because no matter her appearance or image, she is ordinary in this palace.
But she has a very special temperament that makes people who see her, especially men, inadvertently stop their eyes on her.
However, Chen Yutian is obviously not among them.
Because when they met, he was still thinking.
He didn't realize it until the two sides passed each other.
This was also because, at the moment when he passed by the master and servant, his nose smelled an unusually pleasant... fragrance.
…
…
At the same time, after walking out of the corridor, the woman in palace maid's clothing suddenly looked back behind her.
"What's wrong?"
"Saw an interesting man."
"interesting?"
"He is not affected by my martial arts, which is rare among men." The woman dressed as a palace lady smiled faintly, as if she was the most beautiful woman in the world, making the master beside her slightly startled.
"Although I know the characteristics of your martial arts, even as a woman, I will be affected from time to time. It seems that that person is indeed very interesting."
The palace maid smiled and said, "It's not just that."
"Oh?" The dressed-up woman raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her servant.
The palace maid then said, "He gave me a very familiar feeling. It was as if I had seen him somewhere before."
The dressed-up woman was slightly surprised.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Your Royal Highness, let's go to Yixiang Garden first. The fourth princess and the sixth princess are still waiting for you there." The palace maid suddenly changed the topic and reminded.
The eldest princess nodded slightly, "That's true, but we can't keep my two royal sisters waiting for too long."
After saying that, the two beautiful figures of Pingting slowly left.
