Squeak--
The heavy palace door was pushed open, and a slender figure peeked out to the left.。。When she saw that there was no one around, she carefully walked out with light footsteps.
The night was very quiet. The moon was high above the trees, and the stars were sparse. The night breeze blew, and the tall and low trees swayed. The shadows were mottled. They were left on the ground like ghosts baring their fangs.
The figure walked along the corridor and occasionally saw guards patrolling in front. She cautiously hid in the dense bushes, her dark robe blending into the night. Her face was covered by a veil, revealing only her charming but cold eyes.
The guards held long spears in their hands. Their silver armor shimmered under the gentle moonlight. His deep eyes looked around and found nothing unusual. The group of people took steady steps forward again.
Seeing the guard leave, her charming eyes flashed. His body nimbly flipped up and quickly passed through the dense forest towards the secluded place that was listed as the forbidden palace.
The forbidden palace with glazed eaves was already somewhat dilapidated, and the dense forest surrounded the palace. The moonlight shone through the dense treetops, making it seem very cold and cheerless. The occasional bird cries made it even more strange.
The slender figure walked to the dilapidated palace door, looked around, and then knocked three times on the vermilion door with her slender fingers. The rhythm was like a code for opening the door. The door creaked open.
"They're here. Is there anyone here?" A head poked out from the door. There was no expression on his face, like an ice sculpture.
"No, I haven't." The slender figure shook her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"Come in." The middle-aged woman opened the door even wider, and a slender figure slipped in through the gap.
The door creaked and was knocked shut.
The night was quiet and the moonlight shone.
After the slender figure entered, she pulled down the black scarf on her face, revealing the face of Xuanyuan Ye's favorite concubine, Bai Meiniang.
"Follow me." The middle-aged woman said to Nu Meiniang as she pulled open a painting of Guanyin on the wall. Then, she moved slightly in a certain position, and the wall behind the portrait opened with a creak. It turned out to be a passage to a secret chamber.
Bai Meiniang looked on, her expression unchanging. In his heart, he was secretly impressed by his master's ability. Not only did he plant people from the Bei Nation in the Tianyao Imperial Palace, but he was also impressed. He could even place the contact point in the Imperial Palace. The most dangerous place was also the safest place. No one would have guessed this.
Just as the two of them entered the secret room, the wall closed again.
The layout of the secret room was no different from an ordinary bedroom. The middle-aged woman sat on the chair and looked at Bai Meiniang with her eyes that were as flat as a dry well.
"Did you find out anything?"
Bai Meiniang also sat to the side. Her delicate hand dug into her lapel, and a letter sealed with wax appeared in her hand.。。
"They're all inside."
The middle-aged woman took the letter and was about to open it with her wrinkled hands.
"Wait-"
Bai Meiniang blocked it with her hand, her charming eyes revealing a cold expression.
"Isn't this letter supposed to be given to Master?”Although this woman was the one who contacted him, who knew if she would betray him? Now that she had opened the letter on her own, she had no manners.
"The Charm Guards don't trust me?" The middle-aged woman's calm eyes finally moved up and down, and a trace of disdain flashed across them. This woman was just a spy who used her beauty. How dare she doubt her?
"I can't trust non-spirits." Bai Meiniang lowered her head and said indifferently. "Mei Lai Tianyao is the master." It meant that she disdained everyone else.
"Hmph!" The middle-aged woman snorted coldly. She reached into her clothes and threw a token to Bai Meiniang.
Bai Meiniang took the token. The orange dragon was coiled in the middle of the token, and a fiery red word was exceptionally eye-catching. Her charming eyes flashed with surprise and respect.
"So it's an elder of the red-letter generation. Forgive this subordinate for being rude.”She kneeled down and bowed to the middle-aged woman, putting away her faint doubtful expression.
In order to consolidate the imperial power, the third emperor of the North, Long Yaoze, secretly established a Shadow Glow Palace. It was directly ordered by the emperor to collect intelligence and use extraordinary means to deal with things that could not be solved openly. The Palace Lord of the Shadow Glow Palace was appointed by the Emperor himself, and then the Palace Lord and the Third Elder jointly managed the Shadow Glow Palace. The Third Elder was in charge of the red, black, and white characters. The black ones were in charge of assassination orders, while the white ones were in charge of the economy. The three elders had equal power and restrained each other.
Bai Meiniang was originally ordered by the Palace Master to infiltrate the Skylight Empire as a concubine to obtain confidential information in the palace. However, in front of Third Elder, she could only call herself a subordinate.
"Yes." The middle-aged woman took back the token." Get up."”
"Thank you, Elder." Nu Mei Niang stood up, her expression becoming cautious. He did not expect the red-letter elder to actually come personally. It seemed that the Emperor was determined to obtain Tianyao.
The middle-aged woman picked up the letter and opened it. His expression turned serious as he put down the letter. She looked at Bai Meiniang and said coldly,"
"I heard that Ye Liao is going to marry Tianyao. However, you said in the letter that the Emperor of Tianyao knew that Ye Liao had other motives. Could it be that he wanted to use silence to stop him?”Although Emperor Xuanyuan Ye of Tianyao was young, he could not be underestimated. He ascended the throne at the age of twelve and managed to develop the Tianyao Kingdom to be on par with the Northern Kingdom and other countries in just two years.
"Yes." Bai Meiniang nodded." The Emperor said that he wanted to beat me at my own game."”
"Beat him at his own game?" The middle-aged woman murmured," As expected of Xuanyuan Ye.”
"Elder, should we remind Master to change the plan?”Originally, the Bei Bang had planned to swallow up Tianyao, but now that Ye Liao had come to interfere, not to mention that Roaring Tiger Country was also eyeing them covetously. It would not be easy for the Bei Bang to swallow up Tianyao.
"Yes." The middle-aged woman nodded. She knew how serious the matter was.
" However..." Bai Meiniang recalled Xuanyuan Ye's plan." The Emperor intends to choose one of the officials to marry Princess Ye Liao."”
"Good plan." The middle-aged woman nodded." Since he didn't reject Ye Liao, he has no reason to cause trouble.”Furthermore, if he chose a confidant who could monitor Princess Ye Liao day and night, Ye Liao's every move would be under his control. This was a good plan.
"This subordinate also has a plan." Bai Meiniang's eyes flickered as she suddenly came up with a plan.
"Speak." The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows and was somewhat curious about this enchanting Bai Meiniang's plan.
"I wonder if there are any of our people among the Tianyao officials?”Bai Meiniang looked at the middle-aged woman and asked.
"What do you mean?" The middle-aged woman seemed to understand.
"Yes." Bai Meiniang nodded and narrowed her eyes. Her eyes flickered with a bright light, and she no longer had the enchanting and delicate look she had in front of Xuanyuan Ye. "If our people can marry Ye Liao's princess, we can learn about Ye Liao's situation through Princess Ye Liao. We can also falsely report the princess's actions and provoke a dispute between Tianyao and Ye Liao. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone. Ye Liao and Tianyao will be controlled by Bei Bang.”
"Brilliant plan." The middle-aged woman's eyes sparkled when she heard this. If she could take Ye Liao into her hands, then their dream of unifying the world in the Bei Bang would be just around the corner.
"I will return to the palace to discuss with the palace lord.”There was excitement on Wu Bo's face.
"Then what about this subordinate?" Bai Meiniang looked at her, not knowing what her next task was.
"The Charm Guards will remain by Xuanyuan Ye's side and await further instructions.”The middle-aged woman looked at Bai Meiniang and admired her.
"Yes." Bai Mei Niang lowered her head and replied.
"That's all for today." The middle-aged woman waved her hand." Go back first to avoid being discovered."”Xuanyuan Ye was so shrewd that he might be exposed if he was not careful.
"Yes, I am. This subordinate will take his leave." Bai Meiniang covered her face with the mask again, cupped her hands, and left.
After Bai Meiniang left, the middle-aged woman sealed the letter and put it back into her clothes. She extinguished the lights in the secret chamber and walked out.
Outside the forbidden area, the evening breeze blew, and the branches rustled as if an old man was panting.
The red door creaked open, and the middle-aged woman stuck her head out to carefully observe her surroundings. After confirming that there was no one else, he quickly dashed out of the door. He walked toward the mountain behind the Imperial House.
At the same time, another tall figure followed silently.
Behind the Imperial House was a steep mountain. There was a bottomless abyss at the bottom of the cliff, and it was dark as far as the eye could see.
The middle-aged woman walked to the mountain and hid behind a large rock. After a while, she walked out from behind the boulder. Her originally empty hand now had a large circle of thick rope. She tied one end of the rope firmly to the stone and threw the other end down the cliff. Then, she climbed onto the rope and flew down.
The moment the other tall figure saw her jump down, his deep eyes flashed. However, he didn't act immediately. Instead, he hid behind the mountain. Only after half an hour did he walk out from behind the mountain and lean over the cliff. The swaying rope had stopped moving. The middle-aged woman should be dead. The tall figure also climbed down the rope. When he reached the bottom of the cliff, he turned on the lighter. The bottom of the cliff was lush. In the dense forest, there were flowers and plants growing by the side of the forest. It was very wide. A small path stretched out from the dense grass, as if it had no end. The woman was probably walking along the small path. Without any hesitation, her tall figure followed the small path. Two hours later, he actually found that this path actually led directly to the outside of Yaocheng. He frowned. It seemed like they had overlooked it.
Ambergris filled the air in the royal study.
Xuanyuan Ye sat on the dragon throne in his golden coat and narrowed his eyes. Ying should be back soon.
"Emperor, the Shadow Guard has arrived." Xu Mao's sharp voice came from outside the royal study.
"Come in." Xuanyuan Ye rubbed his brows and called out in a low voice.
The door creaked open.
"Greetings, Emperor." Shadow half-knelt and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I am. Get up." Xuanyuan Ye waved his hand and opened his eyes to look at him. "How's the investigation going?"
"As expected by the Emperor, tonight Lady Mei Fei went to the Imperial House to meet someone. Later, when I followed that person, I discovered that there was a small path at the bottom of the cliff at the back of the Imperial House that led to the outside of Yaocheng.”The Shadow General reported everything he discovered to Xuanyuan Ye.
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Ye raised his eyebrows." They actually set up a liaison office in my Imperial House?”His voice was filled with danger and cunning. However, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Since they wanted to play, he would play with them.
"Ying, continue to monitor. Don't alert the enemy first.”His well-defined fingers tapped on the table as he ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." Shadow replied softly.
"You can leave first."
"This subordinate will take his leave." His tall figure disappeared from the study.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night. You should rest." Xu Mao walked in.
"Let's go." Xuanyuan Ye stood up. Those people were already under his control anyway.
The night wind blew, and her black hair danced in the wind.
