Lang Yue smiled faintly, believing that she had grasped the weakness of the person in front of her.
But he saw that the guard commander's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly.
"Your Highness, Princess, I don't know. Although I have only recently been on duty in the harem, I have seen the princess several times at the entrance of the royal palace before, so I recognize her."
"Besides, my subordinate is still a harem guard after all. If I can't tell the difference between the princesses and the empress, how can I carry out my duties as a guard?"
There was no flaw in his words, which made Lang Yue stunned for a while.
Lang Yue looked at him blankly, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
After a moment, the guard commander said again: "If nothing happens to Your Royal Highness, I will leave first."
After saying this, he made a move to leave.
Lang Yue was willing to give up and shouted quickly: "Stop!"
The guard commander stopped again according to his words, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else your Highness can do?"
Lang Yue asked directly: "Who were you talking to just now?"
The guard commander was shaken, but his expression did not change at all. He smiled and said, "Of course I am talking to you, Your Highness."
Lang Yue said: "I'm asking about where we were at the rockery before?"
A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the guard commander, but he pretended to be stupid and said: "I can't understand what His Highness said. I only met Your Highness here. Where did he come from?"
Lang Yue sneered in her heart, but said nothing.
The guard commander waited for a while and then asked to resign again. Lang Yue nodded and did not stop him again.
But just when the guard commander was about to walk out of the garden, Lang Yue's voice came from behind again: "I have taken care of the brothers in Leng Palace, and I will keep them safe so that those Central Plains people can't find out anything."
Hearing the exact words repeated by Lang Yue, the guard commander was suddenly shocked.
But he did not stop, but chose to leave quickly as if nothing had happened.
Lang Yue looked at his leaving figure, her pretty face gradually becoming gloomy.
She was almost certain that this person had something to do with the fire in the Cold Palace and the disappearance of the mother-in-law and the Eighth Emperor Sister.
Although it is still unknown what role he played in this series of events.
But for sure, he must know something.
If he could be made to reveal this information, he might be able to find out the whereabouts of the concubine and the Eighth Emperor Sister.
However, it can also be seen from the temptation just now that this person is extremely cunning, and it is not easy to get him to speak.
"It seems we have to think of other ways." Lang Yue sighed and slowly left the garden.
But not long after she left the garden, the guard commander who had left before her slowly walked out from the books on the side.
Looking at Long Yue's leaving back, an indescribable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...
…
…
The night sinks like water.
The moonlight is dark.
There was a slight sound of breaking wind on the roof of the Ninth Princess's palace.
A dark phantom disappeared silently into the sky.
Soon, she arrived on the roof of a palace in the inner garden of the palace.
This is Lichen Palace.
It is the palace where Concubine Li, the mother of the second prince, lives.
It was midnight, and the master of the palace had already fallen asleep. Only the palace guards at the door still held their posts conscientiously and did not dare to relax at all.
However, among these guards, there was a face that was familiar to Long Yue.
This person is the commander of the guards during the day.
After the Cold Palace was burned down, he became the commander of the guards here.
At this moment, he was standing near the door of the palace, monitoring all movements.
The patrol team passed by regularly at night.
Just after they left, there was a strange noise that alerted all the guards at the door.
It's like dropping a pebble on a calm lake.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Everyone looked at each other to confirm that their ears had heard correctly.
The guard commander looked at everyone and understood what they were thinking. His expression moved slightly, signaling everyone to be calm.
The figure on the roof saw this and smiled secretly.
The strange noise was originally caused by the falling of stones on the roof. Seeing that the attention of all the guards was attracted, she dropped another stone, causing a noise.
The guards heard the noise clearly. Seeing this, the guard commander raised his hand to signal everyone not to act rashly, but he walked alone not far away.
Lang Yue, who was on the roof of Lichen Palace, was secretly happy.
The reason why she threw the stones to make a noise was so that she could use this abnormal movement to distract a few guards, so that she could take advantage of the opportunity to take action against the target.
However, she never thought that she could directly lead the target away.
Now that she saw her target alone and far away, she was naturally very happy. She moved slightly and disappeared.
After walking not far, the guard commander came to a deserted flowerbed and trees. When he was about to investigate carefully, he saw a figure appearing behind him silently.
"What..." Before he could even utter a single word, several large acupoints on his body had been restrained, making him unable to move.
There was even a hand that directly covered his mouth.
The guard commander was shocked.
Being able to directly restrain him without any chance to react means that the opponent is undoubtedly a master.
It would be absolutely easy for such a master to take his own life. But at this moment, since he is still alive, it means that the other party's goal is not his life.
In other words, his life will not be in danger.
Thinking of this, he immediately calmed down.
Seeing him like this, Lang Yue deliberately asked in a low voice through the mask, "You are very calm, why?"
There was a smile in the guard commander's eyes, and he used his eyes to signal her to release the hand covering his mouth, and then said: "Because I know you won't kill me."
Lang Yue said in a low voice: "Why do you think so?"
The guard commander said: "With your skills, if you really wanted to kill me, I should have died just now. But since I am still standing here well, it means that you don't want to kill me."
Lang Yue smiled and said: "You are very smart. But I don't know if you are using your smartness in the right place?"
The commander of the guards asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?"
Lang Yue smiled and said: "People say that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Smart people should also be aware of the current affairs. But I don't know, are you smart enough?"
The commander of the guards could not hear the implication of these words, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that you have something to ask for."
Lang Yue sneered: "Things do happen, but it's not about asking for each other, but...forcing each other."
The word "cold" contained a murderous intent, which fell into the ears of the guard commander, making him involuntarily shiver in his heart.
"If... you can't tell me the answer I want, then I... don't have to keep your life anymore."
Hearing this, the guard commander suddenly felt a biting chill that went straight to his forehead.
But he didn't show any fear, instead, he smiled.
Faced with the threat in front of him, an ordinary person would probably have been frightened by it, but he was still able to laugh.
This made Lang Yue feel a little suspicious.
However, she did not doubt that the other party already knew his identity.
Because before she acted, she deliberately wore Zhongyuan's night clothes and a face mask, and spoke in a disguised voice. There was absolutely no way he could discover her true identity.
But why was he laughing?
She never wastes energy on things that Lang Yue can't figure out, especially questions that can be easily answered.
"why are you laughing?"
The guard commander did not answer, but kept a smile on his face.
"Could it be that...you think I can't kill you?"
Lang Yue's eyes turned cold.
"With your skills, you can kill me without any effort. I have already said this before."
"In that case, aren't you afraid?"
"I also said that you won't kill me. Even if I don't say anything, you still won't kill me." The guard commander smiled.
Lang Yue looked at him with a cold expression and said, "So, you have made up your mind not to say anything, right?"
The commander of the guards smiled and said: "Your Excellency is indeed a smart man."
Upon hearing this, Lang Yue's face did not show an angry reaction, but sighed slightly.
"An expected answer. Although, your calmness exceeded my expectations. But do you really think that if you don't say anything, I won't be able to make you speak?"
"Your Excellency, you can give it a try." The guard commander said firmly.
Lang Yue smiled lowly and said: "Try, of course I will try, but before that, I want to tell you that my method is not to extract a confession through torture. After all, in a place like this, doing so would be very detrimental to me."
"It's good that you understand." The guard commander smiled. It was precisely because he understood this that he was so confident.
But Lang Yue suddenly asked a question that he had never thought of.
"Tell me, who did the fire in the cold palace?"
"Hmph... Your Excellency, you think I..."
Before he finished speaking, the commander of the guards suddenly felt a flower in front of his eyes, and it turned out to be a jade finger pointing towards the center of his eyebrows.
At the same time, he saw the person in front of him glowing with mysterious fluctuations. The next moment, he was shocked to see nine furry tails appearing behind him.
This is no different from what the Fox clan, who were exterminated many years ago, showed when they used their family's martial arts.
The guard commander was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, the nine-tailed phantom of Lang Yue appeared, and his bright eyes suddenly flashed with a light pink mysterious light.
At the same time, the same light flashed in the eyes of the guard commander.
