Chapter 26: Concubine, you don’t want to... [Seeking follow-up reading]

Wei Mingqi stood there in silence for a moment before honestly changing his address: "Aunt, you're thinking too far. I'm Feng Guan's friend."

"...Feng Guaner"

The palace maid opened her mouth slightly, her eyes misty, and she spoke subconsciously: "Didn't I ask her to go to the southwest? She didn't leave?"

Southwestern Small Court? Wei Mingqi's heart moved slightly, then he shook his head and said, "He said he wanted to stay and revitalize the Shi family, and find a way to take you out of the palace."

The palace maid felt even more upset when she heard this, but she didn't show weakness in front of outsiders. She forced herself to calm down and raised her head:

"Who is the master?"

"Wei Mingqi, the Pacification Envoy of Canglongshu in the Western Palace."

The palace maid in front of her didn't react, but when she heard the last name, she nodded slightly and her eyes widened: "Wei Mingqi? Are you the Wei Mingqi who was taken into the palace five years ago?"

"..."

The woman's expression looked cute for a moment, but Wei Mingqi couldn't be happy. It is said that reputation can be good or bad, and his reputation obviously did not belong to the former.

The other party quickly revealed a fear that her child would be led astray by bad kids. Seeing this, Wei Mingqi was extremely upset and wanted to tease her:

"My Lady, you don't want Feng Guan to be bullied outside, do you?"

"what?"

The palace maid blinked, her clear eyes seemed to have seen something sinister in the world, and her plump body could not help but step back:

"You, what do you want to do? Since you know that I am the imperial concubine of Emperor Jingzong, don't be stupid! I, I still have some weight in the palace!"

She sounded stern but her words were actually harsh, but because of her gentle and childish face, they not only had no deterrent effect, but instead had a kind of demonic nature that tempted people to commit crimes.

Wei Mingqi couldn't help laughing, turned around and waved goodbye to the silly woman:
"Aunt, I will take good care of Fengguan——"

After saying this, he left in a hurry, leaving only the palace maids standing there with lingering fear.

'take good care of?'

She chewed on these four words carefully, and then combined them with the previous words. The beauty that had brought disaster to the country and made all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison suddenly became miserable and beautiful.

Is he threatening himself?

"Meow."

Suddenly, a dark shadow came from the side. Seeing it, it seemed to have found support. The palace maid reached out and hugged it in her arms, saying in a sad voice: "You, you really made me suffer--"

Outside the palace.

As the cold wind blew at night, Wei Mingqi's mind became much clearer. Thinking back on the thrilling experience after entering the palace, he suddenly felt a desire for the four spiritual objects.

Dragon essence, phoenix blood, turtle spirit, tiger soul.

These four kinds of strange objects have various mysterious descriptions in the background settings, which can not only cleanse people's meridians and marrow, and give them a martial arts foundation that is almost immune to all poisons, but also give them almost mysterious abilities such as the limit of strength, eternal beauty, and immortality.

In addition, the game also features corresponding enhancements to various parts of the human body. For example, Longkang of the Blue Dragon Stars can strengthen a person's throat in the game, and a single breath can shatter the eardrums of enemies within a radius of several feet.

If he had the Four Spirits Rare Objects, he would never have been hit so easily this time even if he was in the aftereffects of Qimen. Considering that there will definitely be similar hidden arrows in the future, it is necessary to find the Four Spirits Rare Objects both for the purpose of increasing strength and safety.

'Lu Jing'

'Dragon Horn'

Wei Mingqi, who was thinking about one of the Four Spiritual Treasures that he wanted most, walked around the corner, but saw a figure as broad as a white ape waiting silently in the dim light of the snow.

"Daddy?"

"Out."

The old eunuch turned his head, looked him up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you didn't lose your virginity."

"..."

Wei Mingqi was so embarrassed that he was speechless, but the former turned sideways and pointed at the palace and said, "Let's go for a while and talk about why you came to the palace this time." Wei Mingqi nodded and walked up side by side.

After walking for a while in silence, he stopped and pointed to a place and talked about his experience during the day. His tone was surprisingly calm: "The poison on the needle is a common anesthetic used by gangsters. It is very strong. If it were an ordinary person, most of them would not be able to withstand the effect of the drug and would pass out. Grandpa Gan, don't you think it's strange?"

"strangeness."

Wan Renshan nodded and said:
"If you want to kill someone, there's no need to specially create a drug with such a strong anesthetic effect. There are many more convenient poisons in the world. But if you don't want to, the anesthetic is too strong."

Wei Mingqi hummed, and continued: "That's why I can't figure it out. If the other party came for me, it could be explained, but he only cared about escaping and didn't kill me, which means that his target is a concubine in the East Garden."

Wanrenshan listened quietly for a while.

"When Emperor Jingzong went on a tour to the south, most of his concubines stayed in the southwest. There were only a few concubines left in the East Garden, and none of them had martial arts skills. This is indeed a strange thing."

"Grandpa Gan, please pay attention."

Wei Mingqi wanted to stop talking, but Wan Renshan looked at him sideways and said, "A delegation from the southwest came to the palace today. Do you think the thief is among them?"

Southwest again?

Wei Mingqi was concerned, but he looked up and pretended to be stupid: "This is about the rebel king of the southwest. Is this something I can listen to?"

In Guanzhong, the small southwestern court was a taboo, as it involved the "legitimacy" of imperial power, and even high-ranking officials in the court were very taboo about it. It was normal for Wei Mingqi to behave in this way.

But Wanrenshan just couldn't bear to see him pretending to be confused.

"Today, the Blue Dragon Principal acted very arrogantly in the capital. He shouted that he was following the orders of the Dragon Chief, but at the same time, he killed all the other three Principals without even a single approval document. He arrested and killed hundreds of people, causing all the officials in the capital to tremble. They thought that the court was going to open a prison, and memorials to the emperor were flying to your majesty's desk like snowflakes—"

"..."

Wei Mingqi was nervous before coming, but now he is confident: "What kind of master did you choose? I am taking the blame for you. After I clean up the three pillars, you can place your confidants in the positions. The West Palace will be back in the hands of the court. Who will suffer the most? Me!"

His words actually only reveal one meaning.

He had no intention of controlling the entire West Palace at this stage. Even if Wanren Mountain could accommodate him, the Queen Mother could not.

The old eunuch also heard his subtext, so the topic jumped to another point: "What about Yu Wang Shao Yu Qing and Ma Guan Dao Wang Zaiming?"

"Go ask the Queen Mother."

Wei Mingqi said lazily, "Ask her whether she is doing it openly or secretly, whether she is using the imperial court, or whether she is secretly manipulating the world's power and preparing to rebel as predicted?"

The answer is self-evident.

Seeing that he was a little angry, Wan Renshan was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "I can make the decision in the palace, but your high profile will make many people desperate. White Tiger Commander Luo Heng and Vermillion Bird Commander Chen Cang have already left the capital a few days ago. I think they will not be alone when they come back next time, and I——"

"We can't leave this Dragon City easily."

'A Dragon City' is not only Wanrenshan's reputation in the martial arts world, but also a cage that imprisons him. Not only he himself, but also the people in the martial arts world know this well.

"It doesn't matter——"

The young man held up his back, raised his eyebrows, and said disdainfully: "You can rest assured and take care of your old age. I will shoulder all the consequences."

"..."

The old eunuch beside him was silent for a moment.

"it is good."

He chuckled and nodded, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble Commander Canglong again. The case of the thief in the palace will be handed over to you from now on."

"..."

Wei Mingqi really wanted to give this old man a middle finger.

He is just a third-rank official, and you expect him to fight to the death for the court?

Need more money!
