After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 208: Really Have Inner Strength (11)

On the third floor of Shuxue Teahouse.

"Did you find out anything?" Wen Shu'an was wearing a long green robe embroidered with emerald green bamboo shadows. He sat behind the desk with tea-making utensils in front of him.

"My lord, I have heard news about Miss Nie. She is imprisoned in the cold palace of the imperial palace. It is said that she has suffered a lot." The man who looked like a servant bowed respectfully.

The clerk, Ansheng, looked like a handsome and elegant young man, with a scholarly air about him. Upon hearing the servant's answer, he raised his eyes, his gentle eyes filled with coldness, "Where did you hear that?"

"My lord, I learned this from a maid who left the palace this morning to return home. She said that the Prime Minister recently sent a maid to the Emperor, and the Emperor was furious, so he made the Prime Minister wait outside the Qianqing Palace for a long time. I'll ask the maid again, what was the maid's surname?"

"The palace maid said her surname was Nie. She also said that the palace maid surnamed Nie was disrespectful to the emperor, so she was sent to work in the cold palace." After the servant finished speaking, he waited quietly for Wen Shu'an's instructions.

Wen Shu'an was holding a purple clay teacup in his right hand. After hearing what the servant said, he threw the thing in his hand forward and his face became extremely ugly.

He never thought that Linghu Weixin would do such a stupid thing and let Nie Qingxue die in vain.

Now, he still has to find someone to rescue Nie Qingxue from the palace.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Gu Chang looked at the stack of documents in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally finished."

"I did all this, why are you so relaxed?" Murong Heng sneered coldly.

Gu Chang pretended not to hear. He picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"Murong Heng, your Night Shadow Guards are so powerful, do you also have martial arts skills?" Gu Chang changed the topic. In fact, he had wanted to ask for a long time. Since this ancient fictional world has secret guards, then there should also be settings such as martial arts and internal strength.

Look at those Night Shadow Guards who come and go without a trace. How could they do that without some martial arts skills?

Gu Chang wanted to find a deserted place to try to see if he could use his internal strength, but he couldn't meet the first condition.

Because wherever he is, there are people there, whether in the open or in the dark.

If it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the Night Shadow Guard would not sleep either, and suddenly hear a "Hehehaha" sound coming from the emperor's room. The Night Shadow Guard would be worried about the emperor's safety, and when he went in, he would see the emperor standing in the room as if he was possessed, mumbling to himself.

That scene is weird just thinking about it.

"I can, but you - can't." Murong Heng stretched out his tone, telling Gu Chang clearly that even if you have a body with strong internal strength, it is just a decoration if you don't know how to use it.

"It's true." Gu Chang muttered to himself. He leaned back in his chair, raised his right hand, pressed his inward-bent middle finger with his thumb, and pointed it at the brush on the table.

According to the experience of previous lives, since there is such a thing as internal force, there should be a Dantian.

Murong Heng floated to Gu Chang's side and followed his gaze. Murong Heng frowned slightly, not believing that Gu Chang could use internal force.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air.

The wolf-hair brush hanging on the pen holder flew out and fell down with the pen holder.

"Your Majesty." Cheng De was standing below. When he heard the voice, he subconsciously looked up. Then the wolf-hair brush happened to fly to his face, and Cheng De immediately let out a cry of pain.

Gu Chang waved his hand and said, "Chengde, you go down first."

Cheng De first picked up the brush and returned it to the table, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will go downstairs to clean up and will come back to serve Your Majesty later."

Gu Chang coughed twice and nodded, saying sorry to Cheng De in his heart.

"How do you know how to use my internal energy?" Murong Heng moved close to Gu Chang, staring at him intently.

Gu Chang lowered his long eyelashes, pretending to be asleep, and did not speak. Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, he would seem to be talking to the air.

Although Murong Heng left his body, Gu Chang could still talk to him in his mind.

"Guess." Gu Chang could tell what Murong Heng's expression was after he said that without opening his eyes.

Murong Heng pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and hostility continued to surge in his black eyes.

Finally calmed down.

Seeing that Murong Heng didn't say anything for a long time, Gu Chang quietly opened his eyes and saw Murong Heng sitting on him, his eyes fixed on the wolf-hair brush on the table.

"Host, is he angry?" the system asked in confusion.

"I don't know, he seems to be angry every day." Gu Chang sat up straight and moved to the side. He seemed to feel a familiar soul resonance just now.

Murong Heng turned his head to look at Gu Chang, "You can't show your inner strength in front of others."

"Why?" Gu Chang asked subconsciously.

"You have to hide your weaknesses. Only if I have weaknesses can those rats in the sewers have the courage to come out." Murong Heng said, and his tone became gloomy again.

Gu Chang understood that Murong Heng was using himself as a target so that the enemy would let their guard down and think that Murong Heng was just an emperor with a weak body but a good mind.

In the cold palace.

Nie Qingxue was sweeping the floor tiles outside the cold palace with a broken broom. She had to clean this area of ​​the road today and pull out the weeds with her bare hands.

The more she swept, the angrier she became. She simply threw the broken broom in her hand to the ground, then spread out her hands, looked at the blood blisters on her palms, and couldn't help stamping her feet.

"It's so abominable! Why should I do these dirty work? I'm not a maid in your palace!" Nie Qingxue's eyes turned red with anger, and her stomach began to growl again. Nie Qingxue squatted on the ground, and tears began to fall down.

If she hadn't wanted to get the token that could command the Night Shadow Guards, she wouldn't have come to Tianyao Kingdom to suffer such hardship.

Nie Qingxue wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and sniffed.

"I should have eaten breakfast earlier. Now I'm tired and hungry. I really want a soft and fragrant mattress and delicious roast chicken and roast duck." Nie Qingxue sighed and said angrily, "Linghu, how can you be so useless? I'm so close to you, but you, the Prime Minister, can't even get me out!"

If Linghu Weixin had not become the prime minister of Tianyao Kingdom in the future, she would not have saved Linghu Weixin so many times when she was in Nie Mansion!

"If only Master Wen were here, he would definitely be able to rescue me." Nie Qingxue buried her face in her arms and spoke in a low voice.

A cold wind suddenly blew, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound.

Nie Qingxue slowly raised her head, pursed her lips, looked left and right, and looked at this desolate cold palace. It seemed that there were pairs of eyes staring at her in the dark.

Nie Qingxue stood up suddenly, not forgetting to pick up the broken broom on the ground, her eyes darting around in panic, "Uh... I'm just here to sweep the floor, sweep the floor."

Now she didn't want to look for any token anymore, she just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible.

Next to the wall outside the cold palace.

A middle-aged nanny was holding a handkerchief, followed by two palace maids.

"Madam Su, didn't His Majesty say that he would let her stay in the cold palace? Why did he assign her the job of sweeping the floor?" The palace maid on the left hesitated for a moment before asking.

"What do you know? Little girl, she is in the cold palace, who else can help her? It would be good for her to extinguish her arrogance. Women like this who like to seduce the emperor are not good people." As Nanny Su said this, she shook the handkerchief in her hand and walked forward with her head held high.

The two palace maids behind them looked at each other, shook their heads, and followed Nanny Su away.
