Chapter 1682 Is It Really Here?

If his wife appeared in front of him now and reunited with him, how great it would be.

Just as Xiao Changyi was thinking this, many prayer lanterns came into his sight, and they were particularly dazzling against the backdrop of the night.

Looking at those prayer lanterns, Xiao Changyi couldn't help but think of the scene when he and his wife put lotus lanterns together. How happy they were at that time. Also, at that time, they all thought they would always be so happy, but now

"Jing'er, where are you?" Xiao Changyi murmured softly, and the words he said could only be heard by himself, and no one else could hear them. "Is it really here?"

After quietly looking at the prayer lanterns for a long time, Xiao Changyi's heart calmed down for no reason.

Jing'er, no matter where you are, I will find you.

Wait for me.

Mumbling in his heart, Xiao Changyi no longer looked at the prayer lanterns, nor at the bright moon, but closed the window, turned off the lights, lay on the bed again, and began to sleep.

He didn't fall asleep immediately. After lying for a long time, Xiao Changyi closed his eyelids tiredly and fell asleep.

In the dream, he found his wife, and he was as happy as a fool.

The dream was so beautiful that even though Xiao Changyi was unconscious, the corners of his mouth were upturned.

Which palace is not heavily guarded?

It took them a lot of time to sneak into the Dongqing Imperial City.

Therefore, Xiao Changyi did not rashly sneak into the Dongqing Imperial Palace to check, but planned to find out clearly. If there was really a concubine of unknown origin in the Dongqing Imperial Palace, he would sneak into the palace to check if it was his wife An Jing.

You know, Gong Juechen only said in the letter that this was a rumor, not true.

On the second day of arriving in Dongqing Imperial City, after breakfast, Xiao Changyi took Meng Zhuqing and others out of the inn to inquire about the concubine of unknown origin, and it took three days to find out that the news came from the father-in-law's mansion.

No matter how strict the guards of the father-in-law's mansion were, they could not compare with those of the imperial palace. That night, Xiao Changyi planned to visit the father-in-law's mansion with Meng Zhuqing and others to see if he could find out something from the father-in-law's mansion.

After walking around the roof of the father-in-law's mansion, he did not overhear anything useful, so Xiao Changyi decided to directly capture a servant of the father-in-law's mansion to ask.

Meng Zhuqing grabbed a servant neatly, put the sword on the servant's neck, lowered his voice and asked viciously: "Is there a concubine of unknown origin in the palace? If you don't want to die, just say it!"

As a member of the father-in-law's mansion, the servant still knew a little about the situation. In addition, he was afraid of death, so he immediately replied: "Yes, there is one. I heard from my wife that our young lady is the queen who is worried about this matter. It seems that the emperor particularly favors that concubine."

"What is the name of that concubine?"

The servant said: "I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhuqing exerted force with his hand, and the servant was cut by the neck and died on the spot.

If this servant is alive, he might tell others what they asked him. If their wife is really here, it will alert the enemy. It will be bad. It is better to kill him.

They did not stay in the father-in-law's house any longer. After wiping the servant's neck, Meng Zhuqing and others followed Xiao Changyi out of the father-in-law's house.

When they returned to the inn.

The room where Xiao Changyi lived.

Xiao Changyi sat at the table in his nightgown, drinking tea and thinking about things.
