C417 The Women Had No Time to Play
Bai Ming looked at the two people who were arguing and showed no interest. He was just about to leave.
Yuan Zhen opened his mouth again. "Big Sect Leader, where do you think they will take Qing?"
"I don't know." The three simple words made Yuan Zhen's face turn green with anger.
Yuan Zhen still blamed Bai Ming for killing all of them, not leaving any survivors.
Bai Ming had left. Yuan Zhen had to use all his strength to barely catch up to him.
It should be said that Bai Ming did not deliberately try to shake Yuan Zhen off.
The two of them stood at the edge of the city.
Yuan Zhen bent down and held his thigh to catch his breath. He was exhausted to the point that he could barely breathe. On the other hand, Bai Ming's face was not red and his heart did not jump. He looked as if nothing had happened.
"What are you doing here?" Yuan Zhen looked at him and could not stop breathing.
Bai Ming did not answer.
Yuan Zhen might have thought of Miao Yingyu's previous look and asked Bai Ming curiously, "Aren't you curious why we quarreled?"
"What does it have to do with Sect Leader, Ben?" Bai Ming really couldn't stand Yuan Zhen's reaction.
... "" As if it really had nothing to do with you, Yuan Zhen let out a snort and said helplessly. "Then you should be curious about how I found them, right?"
"Shouldn't you be more curious? If there wasn't me tonight... Can you two underlings come out of there alive?" Bai Ming asked back, "You're really stupid. You still haven't realized that they were the ones who lured you out. Kill your trap?"
"Fine, fine, fine. You are the smart one! That smart Great Sect Leader, did you see where he went? " Yuan Zhen was very dissatisfied. If he couldn't beat him, he could only use his tongue to speak quickly.
Bai Ming didn't say anything. He left. This time, Yuan Zhen wouldn't be able to catch up to him no matter what.
When Yuan Zhen returned to the room, all the dead people had been cleaned up. The girl in the room had also disappeared.
At this time, outside a city three hundred miles away from them, a carriage was galloping at night, getting further and further away from them.
The carriage was very big, and there was a soft couch inside, and a person was lying on it.
His face was pale, and his lips were bloodless. Because he was too thin, the bones on his face protruded, and his chest showed no signs of rising or falling.
This person was Mu Ruqing.
Beside her sat a person. He did not care if Mu Ruqing was dead or alive. As long as An ordered him to give her medicine every day, all the way until he brought her to Mistress's place, it would be considered as completing the task.
Originally yesterday, he had just brought Mu Ruqing into the city where Yuan Zhen and the rest were in. He was prepared to rest for a while before continuing on his way.
But just as he settled down, he received news that someone was tracking him and was quickly in the same city as him.
He did not have the time to rest. After buying the medicine, he immediately brought his men and left in a horse carriage.
He left everyone in that city to create an illusion, confuse Yuan Zhen and the others, and buy them some time.
As for those who didn't die, they would do the same thing in the next city they went to, slowly stalling them for time.
Even if they had been tricked before, in order to ensure that they didn't miss any opportunity, they would do the same thing and choose to believe it again and again.
So, as long as they kept bringing this woman along, it would be fine. They wouldn't be able to catch up.
Dayong, Imperial Capital.
In the Imperial Palace, even if Concubine Wan and Jiang Yingxue were grounded, there were still many women who were up to no good.
No one knew where the news had leaked, but the women in the Inner Palace were discussing that Mu Ruqing was not in the Imperial Palace and that she had lost her child after giving birth.
The few women could not see Yu Longchen and did not have any intention to argue. They could actually sit together and have a good talk.
However, the spearhead was pointed at Empress, who had not seen a single strand of hair since entering the Palace.
In the next two days, the few women made an appointment and went to the Phoenix Hall's entrance to wait. They said that they wanted to see Empress and invited her to leave.
On the first day, Lingyue stood at the entrance and examined the few women. Her attitude was very bad, "Empress is still in the moon. Everyone, Your Ladyship, must quarrel and enter. What did she feel at ease about!? Don't you want Empress to rest well?"
" You are just a servant. How can you speak for Empress? The sisters are also worried about Your Ladyship's phoenix body and want to take care of her... "
"Empress's phoenix physique is not up to Your Ladyship to take care of. Could it be that Your Ladyship is even better at adjusting her body than sister-in-law Yue? Or is she better at treating illnesses than Imperial Physicians? I wonder who gave Your Ladyship the courage to say such words in Phoenix Hall?" Lingyue had a glib tongue and with Yu Longchen backing her up, those concubines could not do anything to her.
Before she could continue speaking, she heard Lingyue's stern voice, "I will not hide it from all of you Your Ladyship. The reason why Empress did not want all of you Your Ladyship to greet is most likely because Empress does not want to see all of you Your Ladyship."
Those women were angry but Lingyue was currently representing the Empress. They only heard that the Empress was not in the Palace but without any definite news, they did not dare to act rashly.
Because at that time, Yu Longchen went to court and when he returned, those concubines in the Inner Palace also went back.
Lingyue also did not tell Yu Longchen.
The next day, those few women waited at the entrance of Phoenix Hall again.
This time, no matter what, they were unwilling to leave and begged the Empress to see them.
The few women all had worried expressions, using their beautiful names to say that they were worried that the Empress would be depressed alone in the Palace and wanted to go in and talk to the Empress, listening to her "teachings."
Until Yu Longchen came back.
When he saw the group of women at the entrance of Phoenix Hall, his face was filled with displeasure and did not have the slightest bit of happiness.
The few women were extremely happy. When they saw Yu Longchen, their eyes were filled with love. It was the first time they saw Yu Longchen in such a close distance. This face and this figure made their hearts beat wildly, and their faces unconsciously turned red.
Until they had the opportunity to show off in front of Yu Longchen, they began to scheme against each other again. One of them squeezed in front of the other, and they had to stand in front of Yu Longchen to ensure that Yu Longchen would take a fancy to them at first glance. After that, they could go to bed.
These women indeed wanted to make sure that Mu Ruqing was not in the Palace on the first day. After they went back, their target changed. They wanted to wait for Yu Longchen to go down the court and perform well in front of him.
"Concubine greets the Emperor." A row of women bowed together and raised their heads. They looked at Yu Longchen and smiled because they felt that when Yu Longchen saw their beautiful faces, he would definitely be moved.
Yu Longchen only gave them a glance and took a step back, not letting them touch him. "Didn't you say you don't need to greet? ! Why are you all here?"
" When I entered the Palace and heard that Empress was in the middle of the month, the concubines could not help but worry and wanted to accompany Your Ladyship to talk. "
At this time, even when speaking, one had to use snatching to see who would gain Yu Longchen's favor first.
Yu Longchen flung his hand and his face was filled with anger, "Rubbish!?"
The few women were a little shocked. They did not think that Yu Longchen would get angry. They thought that he would praise them for being considerate of the Empress.
"The Empress needs to rest! It is not something that you can see as you wish! Furthermore, the Empress and Zhen do not want to see you! You can either stay in the harem or stay in the Cold Palace! Choose for yourself!" Yu Longchen's loud voice shocked the few women.
Until Yu Longchen entered the Phoenix Hall, the few women did not have time to react.
Lingyue had an evil smile on her face, "The Emperor has already spoken. Everyone, Your Ladyship, please!"
Finishing, she did not wait for the few women to speak and closed the door of the Phoenix Hall.
The few women were angered and left one by one.
