Chapter 278 The mysterious evil king

After leaving the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace, Jiang Yimo slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky.

The setting sun is as blood-red, dyeing half the sky red. The sun is gradually sinking to the west, as if it is going to cast the last ray of afterglow onto the earth.

At this moment, the noise in the palace gradually subsided, replaced by tranquility. However, although the palace seemed calm on the surface, it was actually undercurrents and full of crises.

Jiang Yimo had originally wanted to go to the Liuli Palace to visit Concubine Xian, but as it was getting dark and the palace gates were about to close, time was running out, so she had to change her plans.

In desperation, she decided to give up the idea and walked straight out of the palace with Xitang.

The two walked briskly and soon arrived at the palace gate. Jiang Yimo stood on tiptoe and looked around anxiously, trying to find the carriage of the evil king's mansion.

Her eyes quickly scanned everything around her, and finally, she found a familiar carriage in the corner of the path on the left.

The carriage was parked there quietly, its body decorated with gorgeous patterns and carvings, highlighting the noble status of its owner.

Shadow sat at the front of the car, waiting patiently for her to come out.

Jiang Yimo was delighted and quickly pulled Xitang towards the carriage.

Soon, Shadow noticed Jiang Yimo who was slowly walking towards him. He immediately jumped off the carriage nimbly and took the initiative to walk forward to greet her.

Shadow thought to himself: Strange! I didn't expect Miss Jiang to leave the palace so early today. What's even more surprising is that this time she was accompanied by a little palace maid with swollen lips.

He originally thought that based on her past style of behavior, she would not come out until the palace gates were about to close.

However, Shadow also heard about what happened in the palace today.

Xiao Concubine was exposed for her tricks and secretly murdered several palace maids. She was eventually sentenced to death and banished to the cold palace. Not only that, even Prime Minister Lu was not spared and was also punished.

Jiang Yimo walked up to Anying with a faint smile on her face, and greeted him with a smile: "Anying, I didn't expect you to come so soon! I thought we might have to wait for a while at the palace gate."

Hearing this, Shadow slowly raised his hand, gently scratched his head, and laughed honestly: "Hehe, it's a good thing that I came early today to greet Miss Jiang. If I had kept Miss Jiang waiting for a long time, the prince would have been furious when I returned to the palace."

Shadow said this while making a few jokes.

Then, he cast his gaze on the little palace maid beside Jiang Yimo, looked her up and down carefully, and then asked curiously: "Miss Jiang, the palace is about to close, why did you bring a little palace maid out with you?"

Hearing Shadow's question, Jiang Yimo showed a mysterious smile on her face and replied softly: "This is Xitang. From now on, she will always be by my side!"

However, after hearing her words, Shadow couldn't help but frown and said worriedly: "Miss Jiang, the management of palace maids in this palace is very strict. You can't just take them out of the palace casually. If the emperor knows about this, it will be a very serious crime."

Jiang Yimo didn't care and patted Anying's shoulder gently, comforting her: "Don't worry, I asked the Queen Mother for Xitang myself! The Queen Mother has already agreed to give her to me, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to take her out of the palace by myself."

As soon as she finished her words, she couldn't wait to pull Xitang into the carriage.

Along the way, Jiang Yimo seemed to remember something, and turned to ask Anying curiously: "By the way, Anying, why did you drive your prince's special carriage here? Didn't he go out today? Didn't he use this carriage?"

Shadow replied respectfully, "Miss Jiang, the prince specifically ordered me to drive his special carriage to pick you up. The prince said that his carriage is more comfortable to sit in, so he asked me to drive his carriage to pick you up."

"..." Jiang Yimo was suddenly speechless.

"Has your prince returned to the palace after going out today?" Jiang Yimo asked casually.

"At noon, he and General Gu did go back to the palace." Shadow replied calmly as usual, "but they only stayed in the study for less than a cup of tea before leaving the palace in a hurry."

Hearing this, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked, "Then do you know where the two of them are going this time?"

There was a hint of worry in his words, as if there was an indescribable ominous premonition lingering in his heart, but he couldn't tell where exactly this feeling came from.

Shadow said truthfully: "I don't know either. The prince didn't tell me. However, Leng Mei and a few brothers followed the prince and General Gu away."

At this point, a thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Yimo's mind: At midnight tonight, Feng Siniang will meet with the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect in an abandoned temple at Shilipo outside the city!

Could it be that what Feng Wuhen and his grandfather are busy with is related to this?

As this idea gradually became clearer, Jiang Yimo became more and more convinced that her guess was not unreasonable.

He decided not to waste any more time and immediately ordered Shadow to speed up and rush back to the Evil King's Palace.

When we arrived at the Evil King's Palace, night had already fallen, the lights were on, and the nightlife of the imperial city was beginning.

Jiang Yimo first made arrangements for Xitang and handed her over to the care of the palace's butler. She asked him to take Xitang to Wutong Courtyard and instructed Miss Qingzhu to apply medicine on her lips. At the same time, this was also an opportunity for Xitang to get familiar with the environment in the courtyard.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Yimo took a step and walked quickly towards Feng Wuhen's courtyard.

In fact, as early as when she just stepped into the gate of the mansion, the housekeeper told her that Feng Wuhen had returned and was in his courtyard, and said that Feng Wuhen wanted to see her.

So Jiang Yimo rushed to the yard where Feng Wuhen was.

However, the entire yard was unusually quiet, without any sound at all.

At this time, a young guard came up quickly and led her to Feng Wuhen's door. After saying a few words and asking her to push the door open, he left.

Jiang Yimo took a deep breath, encouraged herself secretly, then reached out to push the door that looked a little heavy.

With a slight "creak" sound, the door opened a crack. She carefully stuck her head in and looked around. After confirming that there was no one inside, she mustered up the courage to step into Feng Wuhen's house.
