Chapter 163: Dark Moon and High Storm (1)
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was already late at night when Chuxue arranged everything and left the shop.
Prince Yue's Mansion
Chu Xue really guessed correctly, the man who went to conquer the world was none other than the King of Yue.
"Going home?"
The King of Yue, who had changed his clothes, was lying on the couch at the moment. The King of Yue was famous for his self-discipline, and he should have gone to bed at this time.
"Yes, Master, the box is now in the caravan, and the leader of the caravan is guarding it personally. The woman didn't take anything with her when she left the shop, and neither the shopkeeper nor the clerk left."
There were actually people watching outside the shop.
The King of Yue stood up and stretched, touched the flying fish talisman on his waist and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Didn't you go find Mei Shijiu or Lao Wu?"
"No!"
The King of Yue lowered his eyebrows and walked around the room with his hands behind his back. He twisted his neck and said, "I thought I had some eyesight, but that's all. Go to the palace and send a message so that my mother and concubine can act according to the plan."
The king of Yue said that the king couldn't help but muttered: "It's boring."
Then he went to bed.
Chuxue thought about it and roughly figured out that the other party was either the King of Yue or the King of Yu.
Because of the fifth prince and her own life experience, she has learned more about the royal family recently. Judging from their age, apart from the fifth prince, only these two princes are the most compatible.
The other party did not deliberately hide anything. On the contrary, it seemed that he wanted to let her know.
The flying fish talisman is a symbol of the prince's identity. If the other party really wanted to conceal his identity, why would he deliberately reveal the flying fish talisman hidden in his sleeve when giving her the token? The action was so obvious.
If he is the king of Yue, what is his purpose?
If it is King Yu, what is the purpose?
These two princes really had nothing to do with her. Chu Xue thought hard and felt that this matter might have something to do with her being close to Mei Shijiu or the fifth prince, otherwise she would not be able to find an entry point.
Because of this, she couldn't go to Mei Shijiu or the fifth prince.
Because she knew that tomorrow was a very important day for both the fifth prince and Mei Shijiu.
"Miss, it's already midnight. You should rest early. If you have anything to do, you can get busy tomorrow."
After Chuxue came back, she stayed in the house thinking about things. Taoer looked at the time and urged Chuxue to rest, thinking that Chuxue was thinking about business matters, so she was not in a hurry. She had to sleep for the night.
"Tao'er, I'll take a nap, please be more alert and wake me up as soon as it gets light. Also, no matter what happens at night, you have to wake me up."
"Yes, miss, please rest peacefully."
Chu Xue couldn't sleep. She forced herself to lie down and close her eyes to rest. She felt like she was involved in a whirlpool without knowing it. She was like a piece of driftwood floating in the water. She couldn't control the direction by herself and could only be driven by this.
A torrent swept away.
Although Chuxue did not inform Feng Ziyue and Mei Shijiu, Mei Shijiu had already received the news.
"You kid, you are distracted. It's getting late in the morning, so we won't be able to play this chess game. I'm also a little tired. I'll talk about what you just said after I meet someone."
In the dead of night, Mei Shijiu, Sou and the old gentleman, the teacher and the student had not seen each other for some time, and it was inevitable that they would have to communicate with each other. They sat here for an hour and a half.
When the two were playing chess just now, Ah Qing informed Mei Shijiu about the situation at Chuxue and how Mei Shijiu could still play chess with peace of mind.
The old gentleman was wise and realized at a glance that it was indeed too late to give up.
Mei Shijiu stood up, put down the chess pieces and looked at the chessboard, "Sir, let's keep this game for now. The students will accompany you to finish the game tomorrow. It's late at night and it's time for you to rest. Shi Jiu won't disturb you today."
"Go ahead."
The old gentleman has gray hair but is in good spirits. His face is full of traces of time.
"what happened?"
As soon as he got on the carriage, Mei Shijiu asked urgently in a low voice.
Ah Qing briefly explained the matter, "...Sir, why did the King of Yue seek out Miss Chuxue?"
It is impossible to really ask Tongda Tianxia to send something. Even if it were, it would not be the King of Yue's turn to personally take action.
If the young master hadn't been worried that King Su or the Yun family would cause trouble for Miss Chuxue, they would never have thought that King Yue would go looking for Chuxue.
"Are you sure it's the King of Yue?" It was obvious that Mei Shijiu was also very surprised.
"The people below followed him all the way, and then we were sure that he was the King of Yue."
"Where is she? Is there any movement?"
Ah Qing replied while driving the car, "No, she stayed in the shop for a while and then went home."
"Did nothing?"
"No...by the way, when the King of Yue went, the leader of the caravan also went, and when he left, he took a box with him. I heard from the people below that the box was the one that the King of Yue brought there, and the box is now in the caravan.
"
"Is there any movement after the King of Yue returns?"
"The King of Yue didn't have much movement, but not long ago, someone from his residence went out and headed towards the palace."
The area near the palace was heavily guarded at night, and his people did not dare to follow too closely, presumably because they had entered the palace.
"Enter the palace!!"
"I guess so, the people down there haven't come back yet."
Mei Shijiu asked no more questions, put down the curtain and leaned against the carriage to think carefully.
The fact that she didn't do anything means that she didn't understand what was going on. Of course, that doesn't mean she didn't do anything.
The King of Yue...The King of Yue, he has always felt that he is a more dangerous person than King Su. King Su is on the surface, but King Yue is different. King Yue is not as eye-catching as King Su, but in the court, he also has his own force, but it is very
Few people notice him, and he is also very low-key. It is said that he has a very regular schedule, does not have many social activities, and rarely leaves the house on weekdays.
The mother-concubine of the King of Yue was Concubine Li. Concubine Li was not as favored as Concubine Duan, but she was highly valued by the Queen Mother and was one of the four concubines.
"Sir, the King of Yue and the Ninth Princess are the same mother. Do you think the King of Yue is doing it for the Ninth Princess?"
Ah Qing suddenly thought of something and let out a small start.
Mei Shijiu had thought about this problem from the beginning, but quickly gave up the idea. If the King of Yue personally brought trouble to Chu Xue for the Ninth Princess, it would be because he was looking down upon her.
However, Ah Qing reminded him that maybe this was not the original purpose of the King of Yue, but it did not prevent him from using this as an excuse.
"Keep an eye on it and tell me if there is any movement."
"Sir, you might as well ask Miss Chuxue what's going on so that we can be prepared. Miss Chuxue must not know that the other party is the King of Yue."
"Let's talk until dawn, so that people can watch."
It seemed that he or the fifth prince had caused her trouble after all.
Let's first see what the King of Yue wants to do. If he sends people into the palace at this hour, there will be some movement tomorrow morning.
The whole night passed in such anxiety, and the next day the dust cleared, and there was news before dawn.
There was quite a lot of movement.
The palace was stolen last night. Several vases were lost in the palace. They were pairs of jade and white porcelain vases sent as tribute from Saigon.
The Holy Emperor was furious and sent people throughout the city to search for the thief who had stolen the vase.
How can he be an ordinary thief who can enter and exit the palace to steal?
But what is even more strange is that a few vases, even if they are tributes, will not cause such a big noise. The city gates are full of officers and soldiers, and all entry and exit are strictly inspected.
The thief came and went freely in the palace. Perhaps the Holy Spirit felt that his face was dishonored, so he was so angry that he had to find out the thief.
