Chapter 35: The Assassins
Inside the Hancui Palace.
Shen Ruojiao held the white child in her hand, looked at the chessboard and was stunned, unable to fall for a long time.
The frost came in from the outside: "Lady, Cui Guiren has been sent out of the palace." ”
She hurriedly pulled her over and made a gesture to silence her.
Shen Ruojiao had already come to her senses and put the cold cold jade chess pieces back into the urn.
"Lady, the case has been solved, why don't you look so happy?" Irishuang is a straightforward character, and she can't hide her thoughts, so she asks her with a big grin.
I couldn't stop the moon, so I scratched my head and was in a hurry.
Shen Ruojiao just shook her head slightly: "I just think that the further back this chess game goes, the more confusing it becomes." ”
In this harem, there are people with ill intentions, she has probably guessed it.
She didn't dare to conclude that the poison of the Lantern Festival was caused by Concubine Liu, but the assassination of Fang City before that must have nothing to do with General Liu.
Father and brother searched the entire Qijing City, but they didn't find that group of people, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there could be such a force, except for General Liu, she couldn't think of anyone else.
No, maybe there's another person.
But she and Bai Qi have never intersected, and Bai Qi has no reason to kill her.
Shen Ruojiao's gaze fell on the pink and blue purse next to the chessboard, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Lu Daimei, who is it? Do you want to find a way to remind Bai Zhen?
Zhushuang is a person who practices martial arts, and he doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is confused when he hears it: "Then don't play, if you want me to say, this chess game is a lot of trouble and effort, or else, the lady will practice martial arts with me." ”
Ji Yue finally couldn't stand it anymore, and yelled at her: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can you dance with you and get guns." ”
"It's nothing, it's just about getting fit. Rushuang pursed his lips and retorted in a low voice, "Besides, learn one trick and two styles, when I am not by the lady's side, if the lady encounters a dangerous situation like last time, she will be able to save her life at a critical moment." ”
"Phew, bah, bah. Ji Yue hurriedly spatted a few times, and said angrily, "You can't hope that the lady will be good." ”
I was not convinced, and I wanted to fight again.
"Okay, it's noisy, I really can't play this chess anymore. Shen Ruojiao shook her head helplessly, "What Frost said is right, now that I am in danger, it is not a bad thing to have a skill." ”
"Ahh
Frost muttered, "Then do you think the assassin appeared out of thin air?"
Ji Yue's face turned pale: "God, lady, you still don't want to leave the palace in the future, if you have anything, you will tell me to do it with Jinshuang!"
Shen Ruojiao couldn't cry or laugh.
The moon is simple, the frost is stunned, with them by their side, from body to heart can relax a lot.
Xuanjing Palace.
"I can't even look at myself, am I too tolerant of you on weekdays?"
Guo Kui knelt on one knee and lowered his head: "Subordinate, I have asked people to search for the whole palace." ”
"If you can't find anyone, there's no need for the Gripen Guard to exist. ”
Bai Zhen's eyes were as cold as a cold pool, which made Guo Kui's back cold, and he received his order with a solemn face.
Night.
Shen Ruojiao was cooking tea.
The finely chopped tea cakes are brewed, and the tea smoke rises, and the aroma is overflowing.
Holding the tea set, standing behind her, she sniffed: "The tea is really fragrant this moon." ”
Shen Ruojiao smiled and asked, "Is the frost back?"
Jiyue shook her head and pouted: "Not yet, this frost, knowing that the lady is in danger, don't come back sooner." ”
"You, this is the palace, and there is no safer place in the world. Shen Ruojiao poured the tea soup into the cup, looked at the rich aroma of the light orange tea soup, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Don't get along with the frost, this girl has gone through so many things, and she can still have such a heart, she is a good child." ”
"What's the matter?"
Shen Ruojiao was silent for a moment and lowered her voice: "Since I don't want to take the initiative to say it, let's not ask more." ”
Ji Yue nodded, muttering, "But the lady clearly knows." ”
The wind chimes suddenly rattled, and a few soft sounds were heard in the air.
"The frost is back. As soon as her eyes lit up, she pulled her legs and walked out.
Shen Ruojiao frowned slightly.
No, this voice is not the direction of the corridor of the temple gate, and when you come back from the frost, you won't go over the wall.
Shen Ruojiao subconsciously thought of Bai Zhen.
But last time she deliberately warned Bai Zhen, and Cui Guiren had just been sent out of the palace, and there were still many things waiting for him to deal with.
After the moon went out, it was unusually quiet outside, and there was no footsteps at all.
Shen Ruojiao's heart was beating like thunder, she had just said that the palace was the safest place, and in the blink of an eye, someone would invade Hancui Palace, this General Liu was too bold.
She forced herself to calm down, moved to the edge of the bed, and plucked a hairpin from her head.
The hairpin in his hand happened to be the one he wore when he was assassinated in Fang City last time, Shen Ruojiao was stunned for a moment, thinking of the man in Xuanyi, Qi Zhen.
Last time, Qi Zhen came to the rescue, what should she do this time?
She could only hope that the frost would come back quickly.
