Chapter 13: The moon is dark and the wind is high

"My good sister, you are too humble, who doesn't know, in this palace, your chess skills are far above me, and even the emperor has to look at his sister differently. The dignified woman on the opposite side is Situ Man, a virtuous concubine who has been quite favored recently. She was born in the Situ family, one of the four major families in Yanjing City, and her father is Situ Guan, a scholar of Diange University.

What's even more commendable is that so far in the harem, only Situ Man has added a little princess Murong Lanxiang to the emperor, and the other concubines have not come out.

And the delicate beauty opposite Concubine Xian is Bai Chunfei, the mother of Chongyuan, whose father is just a small county magistrate in a remote place, and he can't even touch the edge of Yanjing City. "My sister praised me as much as she came, I don't have the good fortune of my sister, I can have a little princess by my side, and this life can be regarded as a fall. Speaking of this, Bai Chunfei's face was sad, and her eyebrows were no longer spread.

"It's late at night, so go and keep guard outside the door. Concubine Xian waved her hand, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall all withdrew from the door.

"It's not difficult to have a dragon heir. ”

"However, the emperor only turned over my sign three times a year at most. Bai Chunfei's face was shy.

"Silly sister, there are so many women in the harem, how can the emperor remember them all?" Concubine Xian seemed to smile, with a mysterious brilliance in her eyes.

"Good sister, sister, the glory and wealth of my life are based on my sister. Bai Chunfei knelt down in front of Concubine Xian with a "poof", with pleading tears in her eyes, and a pitiful posture.

"There are more people who want the palace to help, but the harem is full of sisters, so it's not good to favor one over the other. Concubine Xian sneered.

Hearing this, Bai Chunfei's face suddenly turned pale.

"The forces in the palace are intertwined, fighting alone, after all, the strength is a little weaker, and the palace just lacks a comrade-in-arms. Concubine Xian changed her face to sincerity again. She changes her face faster than the sky, and everyone in the palace knows it.

"My sister has a low status and a stupid brain, so I am afraid that I will drag my sister back. "In the palace, most of those who get involved with Concubine Xian are cannon fodder, and she Bai Chunfei is unwilling to make wedding clothes for her.

"A few days ago, I heard someone tell me something interesting, and I don't know if my sister has heard of it?" Concubine Xian picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip.

"I want to hear about it. ”

"Bixue, the personal maid next to my sister, in the middle of the night, seems to have been to the house of two cold palace guards and eunuchs. Concubine Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and her slender Danfeng eyes were particularly charming.

As soon as these words came out, the blood on Bai Chunfei's face suddenly disappeared, and after half a ring, she returned to normal.

“...... It's just that I lost a piece of jewelry, and sent Bixue to inquire about it. ”

"What you lost is a peacock emerald green bead chain, right?" Concubine Xian's tone was indifferent.

"Sister, please raise your noble hand and let me go, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for my sister. Bai Chunfei fell to her knees with a thud, pulling at the corners of Concubine Xian's clothes, her whole body stiffened, and her lips trembled. On that day, she asked Bixue to give the peacock bead chain a lot of gold and silver, and made a promise to the two eunuchs that if they could successfully get rid of the wild geese, after the deed was completed, she would give them a large sum of gold and silver. In the palace, seeking people's lives is a capital crime! Also, who leaked the news to Concubine Xian?

"Such a delicate sister, how can I bear to let you be a cow and a horse, and now, are you willing to help this palace?"

"Naturally, from then on, I was at the mercy of my sister. Bai Chunfei bit her silver teeth, she was going to seek skin with the tiger after all.

"Good. This first thing is to remove the stumbling block of the luck of the queen in the cold palace, lest the spring breeze blow, and the grass sprouts again. Although the corners of Concubine Xian's mouth were smiling, she seemed to have a knife in her eyes.

"Sister, do you have any good ways to weed?"

"Nine days later, there will be a celebration banquet in the palace, the Queen Mother is merciful, and intends to let the one in the cold palace see the holy face again, such a good opportunity, we must not miss it. Concubine Xian smiled with a dignified and charming face. It was late at night, and the two beauties in front of the window were still carefully planning the future feast.

Most of the women in the deep palace have brought three masks, one for outsiders to see, this mask wants to paint themselves high and noble, and outsiders naturally don't dare to bully you at will. Another mask for the emperor to see, to paint himself dignified and virtuous, but also to add a little bewitching charm, it is best to add some pure and innocent feeling, like a white lotus in the wind, which can not only provoke the emperor's love, but also deceive the world.

The last mask is shown to the enemy, and sharp teeth and fangs should be added to the mask, find the right time, find the right point, and bite the throat unexpectedly, and the enemy will bite bloody.

Seven days later, on a dark and rumbling night, the "grass" in Concubine Xian's mouth was pouting her ass and climbing the three-meter-high wall of the cold palace.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the day of murder and arson.

"Poof!", the pretty girl jumped off the wall of the cold palace, Chen Mu, dressed in black, bent the corners of her mouth, revealing a bad smile, under the moonlight, but a little sweet and moving.

"Crescent, throw something at me. ”

A big black burden crossed a perfect arc in the air, instantly crossed the wall from inside the wall, and fell to the ground with a "bang!" sound. Immediately afterwards, a hoe and a shovel also successfully escaped from prison.

"Miss, I can't climb this wall, it's too high. The crescent moon on the other side of the wall, the slightly chubby body, struggling to hold the high wall, his face was flushed, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"No problem!" Naturally, the physical work should be done by a man like him. A moment later, more than a thousand meters away from the cold palace, a black shadow waved a hoe and shovel rapidly, and an hour later, a slender deep pit appeared in front of Chen Mu, who was covered with beads of sweat. Unwrapping the baggage, there was a pile of slender scrap iron nails and dozens of long sharp and thin wooden strips that had been sharpened.

On the second day, just after breakfast, the red sun had just climbed halfway up the hill, and two screams resounded through the depths of the clouds above the palace, and their voices were so loud that they almost shook the clouds into the mortal world. The eunuchs of the cold palace have a lot of gold and a lot of silver, and when they go out to the cold palace to deliver food in the morning, they are still full of energy and lively.

Helplessly, an hour later, he was carried back by two snow-white stretchers, grinning and looking miserable. The two of them were covered with waste nails and long wooden spikes, drenched in blood and scaly wounds all over their bodies, if it weren't for the two of them to react more sensitively, they were lucky enough to let their little liver avoid the long nails and wooden thorns, and they would have died at this time.

, that immoral ghost set up a trap in the street in front of the cold palace?"Ahh

"The wooden thorns pierced the buttocks, abdomen, thighs, and shoulders by more than an inch, injuring the internal organs, and there were a bunch of sharp iron nails that injured the flesh and muscles, and they had to lie in bed to recuperate for half a year, and they could not go down to the ground to do work. "Half a year later, even if the wound heals, it is equivalent to half a wasted person, of course, in order to give the patient the courage to live, the imperial doctor had to swallow the second half of the sentence quietly.

Since then, the gold and silver have been lingering on the sickbed all day long, and their faces have become thinner and thinner, and they pity the huge gold and silver treasures they have taken bribes, so they can only lie at the bottom of the bed and mold alone, but they will not see the light of day. As soon as this incident came out, the Queen Mother ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, but in the end nothing was found.

There is an extra trap on the street of the cold palace out of thin air, but there is not even a murderer's footprints nearby, there are no eyewitnesses, and the motive for the crime cannot be found, even in the nearest cold palace, there are only two delicate girls who are lonely and dependent on each other, and the door of the cold palace is locked, and only the wall more than three meters high can stop them in the cold palace.

In the depths of the night, a black-clothed guard flew up to the eaves, penetrated into an attic, hid behind a pillar, and watched the wind and grass in the cold palace and three temples. This place was originally called Pingyuan Pavilion, just because it is too close to the cold palace, everyone in the palace thinks that this is unlucky, the time is long, Pingyuan Pavilion is deserted, it is gradually uninhabited, today, the attic finally ushered in the first visitor in recent years.

An hour and a half later, the moon was faint, everything was quiet, and it was as quiet as water. "Squeak!", the door of the cold palace was quietly pushed open, and a delicate girl dressed in black stepped out of the threshold sneakily, with a dark black rag bag in her hand, and walked towards the thatched house behind the house.

"Sure enough, it's her!" the man in black clenched his fists as he hid in the darkness of the attic. That man is Zuo Xiquan, today he heard about the encounter of more gold and silver, so he locked on a suspicious target, and after seeing Baili Yan sneakily out in the middle of the night, and wanted to destroy the evidence of the crime, he was even more sure of his guess. It must be Baili Yan who has a grudge against that lot of gold and silver, and set up a trap to take revenge on the two little eunuchs, and he is really vicious, and he will expose Baili Yan's vicious face today.

Chen Mu gently pushed open the door of the latrine and was about to reach out and throw the black cloth bag into the dung pit. Suddenly, a pair of sturdy arms twisted his hands and snatched the black rag bag over, moving quickly and swiftly like a lightning bolt, needless to say, it must be the strong guards in the palace.

"Everyone has stolen goods, Baili Yan, how else do you want to explain?" Zuo Xiquan pulled Chen Mu to the front, looking like I finally caught your handle.

"What? Can a bowl of glutinous rice that has been spent overnight be used as physical evidence?" the girl was stunned and looked innocent.

“......”

After a while, Zuo Xiquan's handsome face was so ashamed that it was white and red, red and black, and after opening the cloth bag, it was really an overnight glutinous meal, and I don't know how many days it had been placed, and there were still traces of green hair on the vegetables and rice, and I was disgusting to death.
