Chapter 7: Killing

The night was thick and the fog was misty.

Some people fall asleep sweetly on this night, and some people turn lovesick on this night.

When the moon was in the sky, a man in black jumped onto the palace wall and walked in the direction of the dormitory.

His figure disappeared into the night, and at this time, a team of guards happened to patrol by with lanterns, and the plaque in front of the palace gate was reflected - Jingchun Palace.

"I heard that today's newly crowned Mei Qizi lives here. One of the guards at the end of the line whispered to his companion.

"This is the first time that the emperor has taken a concubine by himself, and I don't know what is so special about this seventh son of Mei. The companion whispered.

The guards wanted to say something, but the leader who took the lead scolded in a low voice: "Silence." ”

The two hurriedly stopped.

And Lu Daimei, who they were talking about, was sitting at the table in high spirits, her eyes full of peach blossoms, a little more charming than when she danced, like a bride waiting for her husband.

It's just that what she is waiting for is not Bai Zhen.

The man in black wearing a hat suddenly broke through the window, Lu Daimei was not only not surprised, but with a happy face: "Lord!"

"You're doing a great job. The man in black spoke, this person who visited Jingchun Palace at night was actually a man, his voice was low and hoarse, and he didn't sound good.

Hearing the praise of the man in black, Lu Daimei smiled happily, and her eyes were full of fascination when she looked at the man in black.

The man in black reached out and pinched Lu Daimei's chin, and looked left and right for a while: "Do you know, why did Bai Zhen do this today?"

Lu Daimei was confused for a moment: "Please make it clear to the Lord." ”

The man in black looked straight at Lu Daimei, for a long time, he let out a weird laugh, and his cold voice was like a poisonous snake: "This is a secret that Bai Zhen thinks he has hidden well, your appearance is a wake-up call for him, he should be very angry now, and he can't wait to find out who you are, he exposed his weaknesses too quickly, I can't wait to see his frustration." ”

This person is in the palace of the Qi Dynasty, calling the name of the current emperor of the Qi Dynasty, if anyone sees this scene, they will definitely be shocked.

Lu Dai looked at the man in front of her stupidly, and the person in front of her was the stars and moon in the sky to her.

It's just that the man's next words made her heart sink to the bottom: "I said, don't look at me like this, a chess piece that can be discarded at any time, and is not qualified to be delusional." ”

Lu Daimei's heart seemed to be poured through a basin of ice water, and it took a while to find her voice: "Yes, Lord." ”

The man seemed to be touched by Lu Daimei's sorrow, and his palm gently stroked her face, wiping away a crystal tear from the corner of her eye: "I have cultivated you for so many years, it's your turn to repay me, you won't let me down, right?"

The man's voice was demagogically gentle, Lu Daimei was deeply comforted, she knew that he still had her place in his heart, after all, in this world, except for her, no one else could help him complete this.

It's a pity that through the hat, she didn't see the endless mockery and disgust in the man's eyes when he said extremely gentle words.

The man's face was expressionless, but the hand rubbing on her face was as soft as a lover, he bowed his head affectionately, and whispered softly in her ear: "I will give you three months, do what you have to do, and when the time comes, I will come to you again." ”

Lu Daimei looked at the man in front of her who was strategizing and planning everything in an orderly manner, she would definitely not let him down, she would help him get what he wanted.

She was still delusional that the man could stay and have a moment of warmth with her, but at this time, there was a strange noise at the door.

"What person!" the man's murderous intent suddenly rose, and he chased out the door with his sword, but there was no one outside the door, and the silence around him was as usual.

It was late at night, and Jingchun Palace was silent again, and the insects were quietly silent, afraid of this gloomy killing.

The wind of the winter moon was bitter, and the cold trees and grass of the Zhijiao were also shivering.

"Lady, girl! Something happened!"

When Jiyue ran in, it was almost noon, and Shen Ruojiao was still asleep.

She was restless last night and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so she simply slept enough today, and no one would visit Hancui Palace anyway.

Shen Ruojiao was disturbed by her dreams for no reason, and her tone was a little coquettish: "What's the alarm." ”

Ji Yue replied anxiously: "Something happened to Jing Chun Palace. ”

Shen Ruojiao was still sleepy at the moment, drowsy, still puzzled: "Something happened to Jingchun Palace, how could you make such a gaffe." ”

"It's the queen, she asked everyone to go to Jingchun Palace, and she wants to dispose of Mei Qizi. ”

Shen Ruojiao suddenly came to her senses, how could it be so fast? Could it be that the good concubine had an accident so soon? But this timeline doesn't match.

Fortunately, Shen Ruojiao was just frightened in vain, and it was the moon that was in a hurry and panicked, and she didn't explain things clearly.

On the way to Jingchun Palace, Jiyue recounted to her what had happened.

A little palace maid in Jingchun Palace was found hanging herself in the room, and Queen Chen knew about it, and wanted to convict Lu Daimei of abusing the palace people.

There was such an incident in Shen Ruojiao's memory, but it came to her ears in the form of a palace scandal, saying that it was a palace maid in Jingchun Palace who had an affair with a guard who was exposed, and the palace maid was ashamed and hanged herself.

Now it seems that there is indeed a secret behind this, after all, in this harem, there are not a few people who use her life as a weapon to frame others.

However, what does this matter have to do with Lu Daimei and Queen Chen?

At the beginning, Empress Chen did not convene everyone to deal with Lu Daimei in public.

She kind of understood, and started again, because of her participation, many things will become different from the original.

In a trance, I have arrived at Jingchun Palace.

Lu Daimei's clothes were thin, kneeling in the hall and shivering, I saw that her eyes were red, her teeth were biting, and she looked cute.

Concubine Liu Guifei deliberately wanted to save Queen Chen's face, saying that her illness had not yet arrived, and Shen Ruojiao was late, which made Queen Chen, who was on the verge of anger, even more angry.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get to the point, Mei Qizi, when you first entered Jingchun Palace, this kind of ugly thing happened, if you weren't mean and abused the palace people, how could this kind of thing happen, and now this palace wants to punish you, can you confess?" Queen Chen, as always, has a high tone, extremely arrogant and domineering.

Lu Daimei raised her head, she wanted to cry, and her teeth opened lightly: "The concubine is wronged, please let the queen mother know." ”

"I still dare to be hard-mouthed, I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin, come here, and be punished!" Queen Chen couldn't see Lu Daimei's appearance, and didn't want to argue with her at all, so she wanted to torture her directly.

Shen Ruojiao was a little stunned, she thought that it would be just a small fight, but she didn't expect that Empress Chen would openly lynch Lu Daimei in Jingchun Palace.

She hesitated to stop it.

With her identity, how to stop it.

Shen Ruojiao hesitated, and the two rough envoys had already stepped forward with a finger [1], ignoring Lu Daimei's cry and resistance, and roughly grabbed her hand and put it into the finger holding.

Seeing that the two grandmothers were about to clench their fingers, Shen Ruojiao was shocked.

"Stop!"

The hall was in an uproar, and no one expected that Shen Guifei, who seemed to have no sense of existence, would dare to openly disagree with Queen Chen.

Everyone was secretly frightened, there was already a Liu Guifei and Queen Chen against each other, and now there is another Shen Guifei, these two factions are contending, is it going to become a three-legged stand.

Shen Ruojiao didn't think about it that much, she just thought that lynching should not be abused without ironclad evidence.

The two grandmothers were worried about her identity, so they stopped and looked at Queen Chen in embarrassment.

Shen Ruojiao walked to Lu Daimei's side: "Queen Mother, I am afraid it is unreasonable for you to use lynching without evidence." ”

Queen Chen didn't expect Shen Ruojiao to dare to speak out to stop her, her face sank again and again, and she glared angrily: "This palace is the master of the harem, and this palace is the reason, you dare to stop me?"

Shen Ruojiao snatched the finger from Mama's hand and said calmly: "Since the establishment of my dynasty, the finger has been used for female criminals who have committed crimes, and now the queen believes that Mei Qizi abused the palace people, but there is no one to witness, and there is no physical evidence, how can Mei Qizi be regarded as a female prisoner, what is this not lynching?"

Seeing that Queen Chen's face was getting worse and worse, Shen Ruojiao's eyes flashed, and her words changed: "Niangniang is angry, Ruojiao thinks that Mei Qizi is the emperor's appointment after all, if Niangniang convicts Mei Qizi by torture, first, she will not be able to convince the public, and second, I am afraid that she will disagree with the emperor. ”

Shen Ruojiao said loudly, she naturally couldn't suppress the queen, but Lu Daimei's canonization was a precedent, and Empress Chen had to think carefully about moving Bai Zhen out for a walk.

Empress Chen seemed to really listen to this, and she didn't speak for a long time, waving her hand to let the two grandmothers retreat.

It's just that he still has a blue face, with a cluster of anger in his beautiful eyes, looks at Shen Ruojiao, and says in a sullen voice: "Then does the palace still want to thank Shen Guifei for her kind reminder?"

She was already angry at Lu Daimei's canonization, but Shen Ruojiao still wanted to use this matter to suppress her, how could she not hate it.

Shen Ruojiao's face did not change, and she said calmly: "It is Ruoyao's duty to share her worries for her mother." ”

Empress Chen snorted coldly: "Share your worries for this palace?" Since this is the case, this palace will give you this opportunity to share my worries, and in two days, we will find out the case of Jingchun Palace's palace maid's self-hanging, if you can't do it, this palace will punish you together." ”

Shen Ruojiao frowned, she was going to secretly investigate this matter, but she didn't expect Queen Chen to hand over the matter to her like this, putting everything on the bright side, in this way, it is bound to be on the cusp, one dark and one bright, the effect of the two must be completely different.

She had dug herself a big hole.

Before she could react, the voice of the palace person came from outside the hall.

"The emperor has arrived. ”

Shen Ruojiao was stunned, this matter actually alarmed Bai Zhen so quickly?

His eyes fell on Lu Daimei, who was sobbing in a low voice on the side, and Shen Ruojiao was a little clear.

As soon as Bai Zhen came in, he saw Shen Ruojiao looking at him blatantly, as if he was waiting to see his good show.

Shen Ruojiao's idea is good, since she has already alarmed Bai Zhen, then Bai Zhen naturally came to Jingchun Palace to stand up for Lu Daimei, and Queen Chen will not dare to disobey Bai Zhen no matter how domineering she is, so she will naturally have to take back her fate.

As for the palace maid's self-hanging case, she naturally wanted to investigate it, but everything had to be done in secret.

Shen Ruojiao's wishful thinking crackled.
