After this incident, the Empress Dowager became extremely wary of Ye Qingmei.
They even sent someone to deliver a white silk ribbon to Ye Qingmei, intending for her to commit suicide.
Little did Ye Qingmei know that Wu Zhu had secretly returned the white silk to the Empress Dowager and placed it beside her pillow.
When the Empress Dowager saw it, she was scared half to death on the spot.
To Chen Qingfeng's surprise, even after so much time had passed, the white silk ribbon was still being kept by the Empress Dowager.
"It seems that what happened back then really frightened this old lady!"
After thinking it over, Chen Qingfeng composed himself and took out the strangely shaped key from the hidden compartment.
Having obtained the key, he didn't linger and quickly slipped away.
Before long, Chen Qingfeng had slipped out of the palace walls and onto the carriage.
Inside the car, Wang Qinian was waiting.
"Young master, you are truly fast!"
Wang Qinian looked at Chen Qingfeng with a smile and praised him.
Chen Qingfeng didn't delay and handed the key he had retrieved from the Empress Dowager's palace to Wang Qinian:
"What I need is speed."
"Old Wang, it's up to you now!"
Wang Qinian nodded and said:
"Please rest assured, young master, I always handle matters reliably!"
Then, Wang Qinian drove away in his carriage, taking Chen Qingfeng to a locksmith.
With the locksmith working overtime, a key was copied.
"The key has been copied, but the original key is very complex, and I can't guarantee that the copied key will be able to open the corresponding lock!"
The locksmith glanced at Chen Qingfeng and Wang Qinian, then presented them with the replicated key.
Chen Qingfeng took the key and looked at it, and couldn't help but admire the locksmith.
The two keys looked exactly the same, even the rust spots on them were almost identical.
"Old Wang, I'm leaving things here to you."
"I have to go again."
"After you're done, you can go home and sleep."
After giving a few instructions, Chen Qingfeng got up and left.
Wang Qinian was responsible for staying behind to handle the locksmith's affairs.
……
Upon re-entering the Hanguang Hall, the night breeze still gently caressed the room, and an atmosphere of peace and tranquility permeated the palace.
Chen Qingfeng appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and soon arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, where he placed the replica key into the hidden compartment.
Then, he rearranged the hidden compartments before quietly leaving the palace.
However, to Chen Qingfeng's surprise, not long after he left, a figure blocked his way.
The man was an old eunuch with a sinister face and fierce eyes staring at him.
Who else could it be but Hong Sixiang?
Chen Qingfeng muttered to himself.
"Who are you?"
Hong Sixiang asked coldly, yet he still appeared to be smiling.
"Sorry, I'm lost."
Chen Qingfeng responded in a low voice, not allowing Hong Sixiang to judge from his tone.
After all, Hong Sixiang was also present when he went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet Emperor Qing earlier. If he didn't disguise his voice, it would be easy for the emperor to recognize him.
"be lost?"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's reply, Hong Sixiang gave a cold laugh and said:
"You are the first person to get lost and end up in the palace."
"They must be here to steal something from the palace."
"You've got some nerve."
"Take off your mask and let me see what you look like."
Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and replied:
"I am bound by the constraints of my country and have no choice but to enter. It is inconvenient for me to show my true face. I hope you will understand."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
With that, Chen Qingfeng turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, Hong Sixiang frowned and his smile vanished.
It was clear that the man in black was quite powerful, at least at the ninth rank.
"ridiculous!"
"This is the Southern Qing Imperial Palace. Do you think you can just come and go as you please?"
After saying this, Hong Sixiang didn't wait for Chen Qingfeng's response and immediately took action.
With a quick movement of his right hand, he began to slide rapidly across the ground.
In an instant, Hong Sixiang rushed to Chen Qingfeng's side, his withered hand reaching straight for Chen Qingfeng's face.
Chapter 61: Another Grandmaster in the Qing Kingdom?! The Emperor of Qing is shocked! Fan Ruoruo is seductive!
Chen Qingfeng stood still, his eyes completely calm.
Rumors circulate that Hong Sixiang is the hidden Grandmaster in the Southern Qing Imperial Palace.
But he knew very well that this person was nothing more than a shield that Emperor Qing had placed in front of him.
Of course, Hong Sixiang's strength was not weak either. Although he had not reached the level of a Grandmaster, he could still be considered a top expert among the ninth-rank masters.
Seeing Hong Sixiang reach for his face, Chen Qingfeng gave a cold smile.
The next moment, he easily took a step back, then bent his knee and raised his elbow.
When they looked again, Chen Qingfeng had already pointed it out.
His move was swift, as fast as lightning!
The hand that landed was like a long sword, falling straight into Hong Sixiang's palm.
"boom!"
Immediately following, terrifying true energy erupted from Chen Qingfeng's hands.
Caught off guard, Hong Sixiang was thrown into complete disarray.
Before he could think any further, he was forced back by Chen Qingfeng's skillful technique!
"this?"
"Using your hand as a sword?"
After regaining his footing, Hong Sixiang was greatly shaken.
He could tell that the black-clad man in front of him was no less powerful than himself. Although he did not use a sword, his technique was just like that of someone using a sword!
"Humph!"
After a moment's thought, Hong Sixiang snorted coldly. Although slightly surprised, he acted swiftly.
"boom……"
But then his left hand shot out from his sleeve like a dragon, and this palm strike came with the wind, its power immense.
In the blink of an eye, it landed in front of Chen Qingfeng.
Chen Qingfeng remained calm despite this.
With his current strength, everyone below the Grandmaster level is just an ant!
However, in order to deceive Hong Kong's Fourth School, he still needed to put on an act. (460)
Otherwise, I would have just slapped that old eunuch to death!
Seeing Hong Sixiang's attack coming again, Chen Qingfeng stepped back and then straightened his knee and swung his elbow.
The next moment, he saw one hand perfectly protecting his chest, blocking Hong Sixiang's withered palm strike.
Hong Sixiang was shocked when he saw this.
Now he was absolutely certain that the person who broke into the palace at night was terrifyingly powerful.
"When playing against others, being distracted is a major taboo!"
Just as Hong Sixiang was in shock, Chen Qingfeng said in a different voice.
It was clear that his earlier disguise had successfully led Hong Sixiang astray.
Upon hearing this, Hong Sixiang quickly snapped out of his daze and was about to make another move when he realized that Chen Qingfeng was even faster.
"Boom!"
"boom!"
But then, the hand that had blocked Hong Sixiang's withered palm with its elbow suddenly delivered a horizontal slash.
This provocation, though seemingly devoid of any particular technique, carried with it the terrifying true energy possessed only by a grandmaster!
How could Hong Sixiang possibly withstand it?
He was immediately sent flying by Chen Qingfeng's swing of the arm.
"Pfft!"
