The two of them hastily went to the front hall, and the guard said in secret, "My prince, my royal consort, this subordinate just found out that Eunuch Gui went to find Niu Zhiqi again."

Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian looked at each other and felt that this matter was somewhat inconceivable.

"Without the Emperor's identity plate, can the Eunuch Gui freely enter and exit the Imperial Palace?" Wei Qing thought of this matter with her keen senses.

These words reminded Xiao Qingqian, whether this matter was related to the Eunuch Gui, he would be able to find out after checking the palace records.

"Go check the exit record." Xiao Qingqian instructed in a deep voice, after which he looked at Wei Qing, "I'll make a trip to Shang Shu Manor."

Wei Qing nodded.

With a few leaps, Xiao Qingqian agilely and agilely flew up to the roof of Shang Shu Manor.

"Eunuch Gui, why are you here so late at night?"

"Your majesty needs more silver tomorrow. Sir Niu, prepare the silver in advance."

Niu Zhiqi followed Old Emperor's instructions and nodded his head immediately. In the end, he even poured Eunuch Gui a cup of tea.

Eunuch Gui originally did not plan to drink this cup of tea, but he was unable to resist Niu Zhiqi's nudging.

"We'll just drink." Eunuch Gui raised his head and drank the entire cup of tea.

Xiao Qingqian slowly returned the tile back to its original position. When Eunuch Gui left Shang Shu Manor, he held his breath and secretly followed behind.

When he reached a narrow alley, the Eunuch Gui suddenly stopped in his tracks. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the ghost-like Xiao Qingqian behind him.

Xiao Qingqian did not expect the Eunuch Gui to be so nimble, his eyes shivered, and quickly followed.

However, when he entered the alleyway, he didn't see anyone around.

Xiao Qingqian held his breath, his gaze like a torch as he walked around the place.

When he discovered Eunuch Gui, he immediately bent down and rushed down, the horsetail whisk in his hand suddenly became a sharp sword tip, with a strong killing intent, he stabbed towards Xiao Qingqian.

Xiao Qingqian's pupils suddenly contracted, and he leaned back, barely dodging the sharp attack.

Eunuch Gui's five fingers formed claws, every single move was a killing move.

As Xiao Qingqian dodged, he tried to come in contact behind Yun Che's ears to take off his human skin mask.

Then, the Eunuch Gui's movements became extremely fast, as if he was practicing some unorthodox martial arts.

"Who the hell are you?" Xiao Qingqian asked.

Eunuch Gui's whisk suddenly cut his arm, and the alley was immediately filled with the thick smell of blood.

Xiao Qingqian frowned, when he attacked again, his hand turned into a claw, accurately pinching Eunuch Gui's neck.

With his breath suddenly snatched away, Eunuch Gui became angry from the embarrassment and struck towards Xiao Qingqian's chest.

Xiao Qingqian's breath tightened and he had no choice but to let go.

Eunuch Gui took out another smoke bomb, and they were able to escape into the smoke.

When the smoke dispersed, when Xiao Qingqian was about to give chase, where could he still see the figure of Eunuch Gui?

Wei Qing was waiting at the door. Seeing that he was injured, she immediately pulled him to medicine hut.

"How is it?"

"Your martial arts are very profound, and very evil."

Wei Qing frowned, "The secret guard just came back and did not find any records of Eunuch Gui leaving the palace."

"There is indeed someone changing their appearance."

"However, since this person is able to understand the situation within the palace so well, and is even able to change his appearance so vividly, do you think that it has nothing to do with the people within the palace?"

"No evidence."

"When royal father found out about this, how did he react?"

Although she knew that the Old Emperor was definitely going to lure the snake out of its cave with one move, she clearly knew that she could capture the fake Eunuch Gui tonight.

"Father whispered to Niu Zhiqi."

Wei Qing stroked his chin, seriously thinking about it, but she still couldn't come up with an answer.

"It's not early yet. Rest early."

Since that fake Eunuch Gui had said that the Old Emperor would need to use silver tomorrow, then, it was unknown whether the Old Emperor would make his move tomorrow.

Although both of them were lying down, they were tossing and turning, completely devoid of sleep.

"If you continue to let your imagination run wild, I'll call Mo Qi in to seal our sleeping points." Wei Qing tightened her mouth and threatened.

"This is very strange."

"Tell me about it."

"Didn't you tell me not to continue thinking nonsense?" Xiao Qingqian smiled and put his arms around her.

"Now, no matter how much you try, you won't be able to think of anything. But if you find anything strange, I'd like to hear it. " She took his hand and toyed with his fingers.

Xiao Qingqian said: "Although his moves are sharp and precise, and I do not have the chance to touch behind his ears, but, I feel that he does not seem to be a disguise technique."

"What makes you say that?"

"When using a human skin mask, you need to glue a special glue on your face."

Wei Qing acknowledged, "Your face will feel very stiff, especially when you smile.

"Yes, but the look on his face is very natural."

Wei Qing frowned as she thought about it, "Didn't the secret guard say before that there was a type of secret guard that could disguise one's appearance directly to the nape of one's neck?

"All this is true, but it's an intuition."

Wei Qing knew that a woman's intuition was always accurate, but would a man's intuition be so accurate?

Her thoughts were in a mess, like weeds. She tried her best to empty her mind to not think about these random things.

When she woke up again, it was already late in the morning. Wei Qing yawned and touched the spot beside him.

The temperature was long gone, Xiao Qingqian would probably enter the palace very early.

Wei Qing decided to raise the Gu worms according to the method they were raised in today. However, she was very afraid of the insects.

The secret guard had already prepared the insects suitable for raising the parasite. Wei Qing took a deep breath and opened the lid, which was only opened a little. Looking at the black bugs that were nestling inside, Wei Qing panicked and threw the lid away.

Hearing the voice, Mo Qi pushed the door and entered, "Eldest Miss, are you alright?"

Wei Qing shook her head. If she wanted to completely defeat Long Xiaotian, she had to overcome her fear of bugs.

Ye Zichen pursed his lips and made mental insinuations to himself again and again.

Although she could now remove the lid without throwing it away, the hairs all over her body stood on end and her scalp was numb.

Mo Qi saw that her face was filled with fear, and didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

For the whole morning, Wei Qing stared at the bugs.

Footsteps came from outside. Mo Qi guessed that Xiao Qingqian had returned.

Otherwise …

The door opened, and Xiao Qingqian frowned, "Qing'er?"

Wei Qing froze and did not move.

Xiao Qingqian's heart became more worried, he walked towards Wei Qing and grabbed his arm, seeing that her face was as pale as paper, his heart aching even more.

"Qing`er!"

Wei Qing's stiff face finally had an emotional change, "Ah Qian, I'm not afraid of bugs anymore."
