Chapter 92: Who is behind the conspiracy?

  When the Imperial Guard troops finally arrived, the two black-clad men had already bitten their tongues and died.

  Looks like a well-trained killer: if it doesn't work out, die trying.

  The Emperor was furious when he heard about this, and had all the Imperial Guards locked up in the Heavenly Prison on charges of dereliction of duty. He then mobilized all the Forbidden City's Imperial Guards to search for the Empress outside the palace.

  It can be said that they came out in full force.

  At this moment, Beijing is absolutely unbearable.

  Late at night

  I lay on the imperial concubine's chair outside the Xue Gong palace, all the palace maids and eunuchs had been dismissed, and the surroundings were eerily silent.

  A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Come out!"

  A slender figure emerged from the darkness: "At your service, sir."

  I didn't turn back, and asked in a cold voice: "Since you saved me, why didn't you save the Empress?"

  "She is not a member of Qingying Pavilion, I don't have to save her. Besides, I also don't have the ability to save her."

  "Are you saying that the target of the black-clad men's operation this time is the Queen?"

  Ziying walked up to me: "Right. These people are willing to go to great lengths to abduct the Empress, they must want to use her for their own purposes. So the Empress should be safe for now."

  "Is it Dongfang Bubai?"

  "It doesn't seem like it. Dong Tai has indeed been recruiting troops recently, but he hasn't planned to rebel yet. Besides, taking action now would not be beneficial for him. However, who knows about the future..."

  "Who is it?" The cold voice had no warmth at all.

  "Can't find out who is behind it!" Ziying replied immediately.

  I absolutely don't believe that Ziyuan's answer was just to tell me that the opponent's strength has already far surpassed Qinglian Pavilion, so I asked: "If you can't find out who is behind it, then you must have found some clues."

  "It's really disappointing for the pavilion master. The opponent did a great job, without leaving any clues." Ziying smiled and said.

  "But..." I didn't have the mood to listen to Ziying being mysterious, so I immediately continued after she stopped.

  "But in this world, there are only three kinds of people that I, Qingyun Ge, cannot find: First, he is a dead person, and has been dead for more than 500 years."

  "Pass!" I raised my hand and rubbed my brow. You want me to believe this? Unless zombies really exist in the world.

  "He is the emperor's right-hand man."

  "Pass!" The Emperor would never be so bored. Even if he couldn't stand Yan's indifference, one imperial decree could solve all the problems. If it was to save face, directly giving her a cup of poisoned wine and then announcing to the outside world that the Empress had passed away due to illness would have been enough. Why go to such great lengths?

  "Thirdly, he is a person from Lian Shuang Pavilion!" Ziying said, suddenly bursting into laughter.

  I also laughed: "Lingsha Pavilion is against Qingying Pavilion everywhere, and no one can find any news related to Lingsha Pavilion, including Qingying Pavilion. This has provided a clue for Qingying Pavilion. Excluding the first two, all the spearheads can be pointed at Lingsha Pavilion. No investigation is needed at all."

  Crystal palace, but you're too clever for your own good!

  "Come see me in the middle of the night, surely there's something else, right?" I asked further.

  "The master is wise. Even if there are mysterious powers covering for him, we can still infer from the various remaining clues that... the crown prince is still alive!"

  "The mysterious power you're talking about, is it Lingshu Pavilion?"

  "Right, if I'm not mistaken, this action must be related to the prince."

  "Uh-huh..." I nodded in agreement.

  At this moment, I suddenly felt that something was wrong outside the palace. Rushing out of Xue Palace and taking a look, flames were soaring into the sky at the city gate in the distance.

  "Go take a look!"

  "Yes." Ziying left for a few seconds and then returned instantly. She said with a hint of a smile: "The rebels have arrived."
