Go back to ancient times to explore the case

At night, Yi Zheng brought two human-skin masks that he had made.The mask is as thin as a cicada's wings, and it is very delicately made. Xie Yu'an took the mask and looked at it in a novel way, and then put the mask on the face little by little in front of the mirror, and neatly arranged the corners and corners. After a while, the mask and the face fit perfectly .

Xie Yu'an straightened up, looking at the familiar face in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel a little moved, and she couldn't wait for Yan Qingchuan to take a look. She was wearing a mask and just opened the door, when Yan Qingchuan outside the door raised his hand and wanted to knock on the door. When they looked at each other, they were all stunned for a moment.

Yan Qingchuan looked at the appearance of the strange woman in front of him, but he didn't feel strange, because those peach-like eyes were still the same, full of smile, and also full of himself.

Xie Yu'an nodded his face, "How does Lord Yan feel about this face?"

Yan Qingchuan didn't answer immediately, but took a closer look. In fact, the appearance of Xie Yu'an's current mask is not much different from the face under it. They are both the embryos of beauties, and they are the same type of beauty. The bones are three-dimensional and the face is bright. .

The difference is that this face is brighter and more attractive than before. The pear dimples turn into dimples, and when you smile, it will remind people of the scene of the sun piercing the clouds after the rain and the sky, which is very contagious.

Yan Qingchuan didn't dislike this face, and was even slightly moved, secretly feeling that this should be Xie Yu'an's original face.

Even though she thought so in her heart, after all she wouldn't say that out of her mouth, so she just said lightly: "It's okay."

Xie Yu'an showed obvious disappointment on his face, "Can't you? I think it's pretty. Master Yan likes my face or the original one?"

Yan Qingchuan didn't quite understand why she was so obsessed with it, so he said casually, "The mask is fake, but the skin is real. Between the real and the fake, it's better to be real."

The disappointment on Xie Yu'an's face further magnified, she muttered: "But I think this face is pretty, and I like this face."

Yan Qingchuan looked at her dejected appearance, was silent for a moment, and said, "Well...this face is not bad."

Xie Yu'an wiped away his depression, and said excitedly: "What's wrong? Master Yan, let's talk about it."

Yan Qingchuan felt her temples twitch, she gritted her teeth and said, "Are you finished?"

Xie Yu'an's brows and eyes immediately drooped again, showing an aggrieved look.

Yan Qingchuan took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Sinking fish and wild goose, closing the moon and shameful flowers, she is a rare beauty in the world, is it alright?"

Xie Yu'an pouted: "I don't care about it at all..."

"Thank you Yu'an!"

Xie Yu'an was shocked when he was called, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this."

Yan Qingchuan's expression softened, and he heard Xie Yu'an say again: "However, Master Yan, I hope you remember my current appearance, if possible, I hope you can remember it for a longer time."

When Xie Yu'an said this, his expression and tone were too serious, Yan Qingchuan felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning in the words, but he couldn't understand, she opened her mouth to ask why, but Xie Yu'an had already turned around and said: "Let's tidy up and prepare to enter the palace."

......

Zhengqing Palace, that is, outside the emperor's bedroom, at this time, there were two court ladies with bowed heads and lowered eyebrows holding a food box in their hands, and the servants announced in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial meal has arrived, do you want to eat now?"

There was no response from Emperor Yuan Qian in the bedroom, but a soft young female voice sounded instead.

"come in."

The two maids looked at each other, and then walked into the bedroom one after the other.

These two were exactly Xie Yu'an and Yan Qingchuan who had sneaked into the palace wearing human-skin masks.

Xie Yu'an walked in front carrying the food plate, Yan Qingchuan walked behind carrying the medicine box, the two walked to the side of the dragon couch together, and stood there with their heads bowed.

Xie Yu'an took the opportunity to look up at the scene beside the couch.

Emperor Yuan Qian's face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and he seemed to be in a coma. Sitting beside the couch was a young woman in a complicated palace attire. gentle.

Xie Yu'an immediately guessed the identity of this woman, she should be the most favored imperial concubine Lu Shi, who bestowed the word Qin.

She withdrew her gaze and looked around the hall. There were dozens of maids and servants standing in every corner of the hall, and among these people, there must be the eyeliner of the black hand.

"Give it to me." Concubine Qin put down her veil and said to Xie Yu'an who was holding a porridge bowl.

Xie Yu'an took two steps forward and handed the food plate, but the noble concubine Qin did not move for a long time, Xie Yu'an raised his eyes slightly, and met the other party's scrutinizing eyes.

She was startled for a moment, could it be that she was discovered?Ke Qin only took a glance at her, then took the porridge bowl, called a servant to help Emperor Yuan Qian up, and fed the porridge to the emperor herself.

After that, he took the decoction from Yan Qingchuan's hand and fed it to Emperor Yuan Qian.

Xie Yu'an didn't dare to take risks. Seeing that today he could only go back home, he was about to leave the hall with Yan Qingchuan, but he heard Imperial Concubine Qin suddenly say: "My palace wants to change clothes for His Majesty, you all wait outside the hall."

The maids in the palace all bowed in response, and exited the hall step by step. Xie Yu'an and Yan Qingchuan followed suit, but when they retreated to the entrance of the main hall, Imperial Concubine Qin spoke again and stopped them.

"The two of you stay and assist me."

Xie Yu'an and Yan Qingchuan exchanged glances, answered "Yes" and returned to the couch.

Concubine Qin ordered indifferently: "The two of you undress Your Majesty first, and I will go get the cleansing handkerchief." Then, she got up and walked to a corner of the hall.

Xie Yu'an stared at her back, realizing that this imperial concubine Qin was clearly helping them, she immediately leaned over to Emperor Yuan Qian's ear, and whispered: "Your Majesty, can you hear me?"

Emperor Yuan Qian relaxed his frown a little, curled up his stiff fingers with difficulty, indicating that he could hear.

Xie Yu'an slipped a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, stuffed it under the quilt, and whispered: "Your Majesty, time is running out. Let me make a long story short. The power of the Wuji Pavilion has broken through the inner court, and their eyeliner is everywhere in the palace. Someone is waiting for the opportunity to poison the imperial meal. After the first meal, you can drink one pill in this bottle to detoxify."

After Yuan Qiandi heard this, he suddenly let out a cough, his face flushed, obviously he was very angry and couldn't hold it back.

Imperial Concubine Qin walked over quickly upon hearing the sound, supported Emperor Yuan Qian and caressed his chest, comforted him, and at the same time cast a cool glance at Xie Yu'an and Yan Qingchuan, and reprimanded: "What's the use of you if you are so careless? Back off."

Xie Yu'an hurriedly exited the hall with Yan Qingchuan.

Leaving the boundary of Zhengqing Palace, Xie Yu'an glanced at the absence of people around, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so nervous, it's like playing Infernal Affairs."

Yan Qingchuan also relaxed his body, and said in a low voice: "The imperial concubine Qin seems to know something, and why does she want to help us?"

"Let's go out of the palace first, and I will send someone to investigate her later."

The two immediately walked towards the palace gate, but unexpectedly they saw a corner of the palace gate, and saw a group of imperial guards not far away asking the passing palace people unkindly.

"Have you ever seen two maids in the palace?"

Xie Yu'an was shocked, and immediately pulled Yan Qingchuan back to the original road, and then went around to the farthest palace gate, only to find that there was also guarded by the forbidden army.

Xie Yuan said that it was bad, and was thinking about how to escape from the tightly guarded palace, when he heard the heavy footsteps of the imperial guards and the sound of armor rubbing from the corner ahead.

She glanced at him randomly, then dragged Yan Qingchuan into a nearby small courtyard, pushed him into a small room for unknown purpose.

There is no window in the room, the light is cut off from the outside, and the inside looks extremely dark, only the two of her panting slightly, Xie Yu'an listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer outside the house, took a deep breath to calm down and said: "Master Yan, don't let me go!" Make a sound."

Yan Qingchuan held his breath long before she spoke, and the room fell into silence for a while.

The sound of footsteps approached, and then gradually decreased. After the footsteps outside the courtyard could not be heard at all, Xie Yu'an let out a breath, stretched out his hand to grope in the darkness, "Master Yan, where are you?"

Although Yan Qingchuan can't see at night, he can still see Xie Yu'an's blurred figure clearly through the faint sunlight seeping in through the crack of the door. Seeing that the other party is like a blind person exploring the way, the corners of her mouth slightly raised and she didn't speak. When she was talking to her, she moved a little bit to let Xie Yu'an find a space.

"Is this room so big?" Xie Yu'an muttered, as if he hadn't thought of the fact that the upright Lord Yan was playing tricks on her at the moment.

The corners of Yan Qingchuan's mouth rose more and more, she dodged to dodge Xie Yu'an's probing hand again, and an uncontrollable chuckle burst out between her teeth.

But her smile lasted only a second, and Xie Yu'an suddenly appeared in front of her, stretched out her long arms, and hugged her into his arms. The person who laughed happily this time turned into Xie Yu'an.

She instinctively leaned into Yan Qingchuan's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Is it fun? Master Yan."

Yan Qingchuan was stunned, and then realized that Xie Yu'an was cooperating with him, so the behavior that he thought he was teasing the other party just now had been seen through, her cheeks quickly heated up, she turned her head, and muttered "boring".

Xie Yu'an laughed again, the laughter brought chest vibrations, and also passed to the person in his arms, Yan Qingchuan was itchy from the laughter, she raised her hand to push the other person away, but at this moment, she heard footsteps outside the door again Before she had time to dodge with Xie Yu'an, the door was pushed open vigorously.

The sunlight flooded into the whole room, Xie Yu'an closed his eyes and stood in front of Yan Qingchuan, but he didn't expect that something tripped under his feet, and he fell forward against Yan Qingchuan. Fortunately, there was a pile of dry thatch behind him. The two fell on the thatch pile, their cheeks touching and their limbs overlapping.

Smoke and dust rose in the room instantly, and a thin voice sounded from the door, "Cough...cough...who is it?"

Hearing this voice, Xie Yu'an realized that the person who came was a servant. She relaxed, put one arm around Yan Qingchuan's slender waist, and put the other on her cheek. Then, in this posture, she turned her head to look at the door.

When the smoke and dust in the house cleared, the little servant saw such a scene. Two beautiful court ladies in palace costumes were lying on the pile of thatch, their postures were ambiguous and lingering. smile.

The woman below did not know that she was annoyed by being disturbed by others and shy about being smashed by others. At this moment, her fair face was blushing, and although her brows were deeply wrinkled, her eyes were sparkling and moving.

The little waiter was only about sixteen years old, and he had only heard the old man in the palace talk about food, but he had never seen this scene with his own eyes, he turned his back suddenly, covered his eyes with his hands, "Two, two sisters, I, I don't know You guys are inside, I'm interrupting you." After saying that, he ran away in a flash.

Xie Yu'an looked at the back of the servant who fled in a panic, and laughed out loud, but the laughter turned into howls in the next second.

"Ouch, it hurts..."

It turned out that Yan Qingchuan unceremoniously grabbed the soft flesh of her arm and twisted it along the way. Xie Yu'an rolled to the side in pain. Xie Yu'an said coldly: "Clean up your clothes and get out."
