Chapter 1682: Chapter 1683: His Wife Is Right Inside!

Meng Lanqing hesitated for a moment, then still asked, ”Master, it seems there really is an unknown concubine in the palace. When shall we sneak in to check whether it is indeed the Madam?”

Before Xiao Changyi could speak, Tobanya said, ”Your Majesty, Xiyun cannot be without you. The Imperial Palace at Dongqing must be heavily guarded. In my opinion, Your Majesty should stay at the inn while I and Zhuqing go.”

Meng Zhuqing immediately said, ”Master, Yao’er is absolutely right!”

Meng Lanqing, Qin Yi, and Qin Er also immediately said, ”Master, the Commandery Princess is absolutely right! Let us go instead; you stay at the inn!”

As for Gong Juese, she seemed indifferent, sitting there playing with her Soft Sword.

After all, she followed wherever her husband went.

If her husband went to the Imperial Palace, she would go to the Imperial Palace; if he didn’t, neither would she.

Tobanya added, ”It’s still uncertain if the person in the palace is indeed the Queen, Your Majesty should avoid danger for now. Once we confirm it’s the Queen, it won’t be too late for you to go.”

Xiao Changyi also understood this reasoning. Though he hoped deeply that the concubine was his wife, in the end, he nodded, agreeing with Tobanya’s proposal.

It was almost dawn, going to investigate the Imperial Palace at Dongqing now would be suicidal. They had to wait for the next deep night before going.

But before Tobanya and the others could make their night visit to the Imperial Palace at Dongqing, someone came looking for Xiao Changyi.

They came looking for Xiao Changyi in broad daylight.

This person also wore a mask, identical to the one Gong Juechen’s messenger had worn when delivering a message to Xiao Changyi last time.

”Young Master Xiao, Gong Juechen entrusted me to tell you that the person you are looking for is in there.” This person was a subordinate of Gong Juechen, who had already investigated the Imperial Palace at Dongqing at night.

”This is a token.” The person also handed Xiao Changyi a letter.

”The place is extremely well-guarded, Young Master Xiao should not act rashly out of impatience, unless you have a surefire plan. Otherwise, do not step foot in there.” After saying this, the person vanished.

And vanished particularly fast.

Xiao Changyi had no time to care about the person vanishing, his mind was now entirely filled with excitement, indescribable happiness—he was simply overjoyed. Because his wife was really in the Imperial Palace at Dongqing.

He was about to find his wife!

Without letting Meng Zhuqing open the letter, Xiao Changyi directly opened the envelope himself, took out a piece of paper, along with two Silver needles.

After stuffing the Silver needles back into the envelope, Xiao Changyi opened the paper, which was not a letter from Gong Juechen, but a detailed map of the Imperial Palace of Dongqing, even marking where his wife was being held.

And the place where his wife was being held was called Quiet Heart Garden.

Meng Lanqing stood right beside Xiao Changyi, and upon seeing the detailed map of the Imperial Palace at Dongqing, was extremely shocked, involuntarily turning to ask Gong Juese, ”What exactly is your brother?”

How did he feel that his brother-in-law was so terrifying, as if Dongqing was entirely under his brother-in-law’s control?

Gong Juese looked puzzled, ”My brother is just my brother, how could he be anyone else? But my brother always spends money to get people to do things that ordinary people can’t, and after all, my brother isn’t short on money, I guess this time he spent a fortune.”

Saying that, Gong Juese excitedly looked at Xiao Changyi, ”Brother Changyi, my brother really helped you a lot this time, you must properly thank him later.”

To everyone’s surprise, Xiao Changyi responded, ”Mm.”
