Chapter 396: Nightmares (Three Watches)
When night fell, Chaoxi Liufeng Nianyi sent the two out after dinner, watching the two leave, Chaoxi stood at the door for a while before turning back to the side hall, she is now resting in the side hall of the Jiachen Palace. Lewen
The vast night outside the window seemed to splash ink, and Chaoxi stood quietly in front of the window, as if waiting for something.
It didn't take long for Qin Xi to enter through the side door, "Master, I noticed that there was movement." ”
Chaoxi frowned, "How many people came?"
"Five, all good kung fu players, two mixed in the inner guards, three mixed in the outermost Imperial Forest Army, they came from the direction of the East Three Institutes, and they were targeted by our people before they arrived. ”
Qin Xi's voice was deep, "Master, what do you mean?"
"Put it in, put it in the Jiachen Palace, don't let people run away, and don't hurt the innocent. ”
Chaoxi finished his cold command, Qin Xi nodded and turned around and went out, and the night was getting deeper and deeper, there were no stars and no moon in the night sky, it was indeed a good time to kill people and set fires, Chaoxi had been standing in front of the window, half an hour later, Chaoxi heard a distant sound of fighting, and then the lights that had been extinguished were turned on again, and then the entire Jiachen Hall was brightly lit, and the noise outside lasted about a tea time, and Qin Xi walked in again.
"Master, all five people have been taken, but all of them are dead, so ......"
"Are they all dead?" asked in a faint voice.
"Yes. Qin Xi's voice was full of self-blame, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.
Chaoxi turned around, "I've thought of it a long time ago, let's go, go out and have a look." ”
Walking out of the courtyard of the side hall in the morning and evening, I saw a bunch of people around the main hall in front of the main hall, most of these people were guards of the Praetorian Guard, even Lin Ci was alarmed, the courtyard was neatly placed with the corpses of five people, five people had bloody wounds, but none of them were fatal, but all five people bled to death, and at first glance they were well-trained dead soldiers.
Chaoxi walked over and glanced at it, "Trouble Commander Lin to report this matter to the king." ”
Some of the attendants of Jiachen Hall were lying on the window to watch and some were hiding aside, no one dared to approach the five corpses, but Chaoxi stood calmly next to the five corpses, their faces did not change, those Praetorian Guards glanced at each other, and their eyes changed several times when they looked at Chaoxi, and Lin Ci was even more respectful to Chaoxi, "Okay, princess, don't worry." ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything, so let's dispose of it. "I don't want to see more," clean this yard, don't leave the slightest smell of blood, let's continue to wait, waiting for other guests to visit." ”
The attendants around him trembled in their hearts, someone else would come to assassinate the Thirteenth Prince?
Zhang Xi hurriedly instructed the attendants and the brothers of the Imperial Forest Army to move the five corpses away, and when they moved, they took a look at it day and night, and then they found that one of them was the tall eunuch she saw in the afternoon, and she felt that the person was walking in a strange posture at that time, and now she was relieved to know his identity, and it was most normal for the dead soldier or killer to be injured.
Jiachen Hall went wrong as expected, but in the end, it was heavily guarded and did not let the assassins get close, and the matter was quickly reported to Chongzheng Palace, and of course, Changqiu Palace also got the news as soon as possible.
Sun Cen stood in front of the window wearing a robe, and stood still for a long time after hearing the news reported by Yuqin.
Yuqin stood behind Sun Cen and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect Princess Shaoguang to arrange so many people around Jiachen Palace, our people were discovered when they went in for a tea time, and it didn't take long for all of them to commit suicide by poisoning, madam, there seem to be people in the rivers and lakes around Jiachen Palace, otherwise our people are all good hands, and they will not be subdued by the Imperial Forest Army so quickly." ”
"Jianghu people, was it specially invited by Princess Shaoguang?"
Yuqin shook her head, "I don't know, but it looks like ......"
Sun Cen frowned, "If that's the case, wouldn't there be no way to get rid of Feng Ye?"
"I heard that the tenth princess and the twelfth princess were stopped when they went, and they had to be accompanied by Princess Shaoguang to go in to see the thirteenth prince, as well as the medicinal materials of the thirteenth prince, and the people who boiled the medicine were all selected by the princess of Shaoguang herself, to ensure that there was no mistake over there, the Jiachen Hall of the thirteenth prince is now a sealed golden box, and no one can reach in. ”
"Sealed gold box...... Since we can't reach in, let's let him out......" Sun Cen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said so, Yuqin's eyes lit up slightly, and then she looked at Sun Cen's back a little confused, "But the injury of the thirteenth prince is not healed yet, how can it be moved, Princess Shaoguang is afraid of accidents, and now she will not move the thirteenth prince." ”
"It's really difficult, but it's not impossible, let's think about it in the long run. Sun Cen only felt that the corners of his forehead suddenly throbbed, this time they used the dead soldiers, and they were well prepared, but they underestimated the deployment of the Jiachen Hall day and night, this blow was not successful, and there was no way to do it in the next few days, and this matter will go to Feng Qin, Sun Cen seemed to have a piece of hard iron in his chest, and it took a long time to exhale, "And that thing, I let me investigate, how is the investigation?"
Yuqin didn't know what to think of, her face was embarrassed, "The slaves have been secretly checking the room these days, there are only so many people in our palace, no one came out to walk around that night you said, and you only have jade paintings guarding here, as for the outside, except for the inner servants who watch the palace gate, it is the Imperial Forest Army, and there will be no women in your courtyard." ”
Sun Cen's brows furrowed tightly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Yuqin hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Madam, are you mistaken?"
Yuqin asked this more than once, that is, Sun Cen asked herself many times, but how could she be wrong?! That night, that shadow, she still hasn't forgotten, that person, just outside the wall, but so far Sun Cen doesn't know who that person is, such a strange feeling haunts her heart day after day, coupled with nightmares every night, her whole person is tormented, who is it, is it a person or a ghost......
"Forget it, forget it if you can't find it, leave a few more people outside this hall to guard at night. ”
Sun Cen let out a long sigh, and Yuqin hurriedly responded, "Yes, don't worry, madam, the slave is guarding outside." ”
Sun Cen was relieved for two minutes, and he was still depressed when he thought of what had not been done tonight, "Is there any other news coming from over there?"
Yuqin shook her head affirmatively, "Never, this slave can be sure!"
Sun Cen's heart was slightly relieved, only then did he turn around, Yuqin hurriedly stepped forward to help, Sun Cen slowly walked to the bed, Yuqin said again, "It's too late now, don't worry, madam, I'll pay attention to that side, and I'll tell you as soon as there is news......!
So comforting a few words, Sun Cen nodded and lay down, Yuqin pulled the brocade quilt for her, and put down the bed, and then retreated lightly, the room was quiet, and tiredness came up, Sun Cen was really sleepy, so she closed her eyes and let herself fall asleep, but this dream was the dream she was most afraid of.
In the dream, it was the face of the country and the city, Sun Cen wanted to escape from this dream when she saw that face, but her hands and feet seemed to be tied, and she could only see that face being bullied, the closer the distance, the face began to give birth to terrifying changes, replaced with a ghost face, and then grew fangs, Sun Cen watched the fangs scratch her flesh little by little, and blood bloomed out like flowers.
Sun Cen gasped violently, and woke up in a cold sweat again, the room was still dark, she may have slept for a quarter of an hour, or maybe she slept for an hour, but the sky was not yet bright, she was invaded by this nightmare and no longer had a little sleepiness, she was no longer as frightened and scared as the first night, but there was a faint sense of despair in the depths of her heart, she was one of the four great ladies, she was the one in charge of the inner palace, why should she despair?
Sun Cen tightly clasped the bed under him, comforting himself in vain.
Her heart had not yet settled, but she remembered a voice in her ears.
A few sounds of "da, da, da" fell slowly but clearly on the tip of Sun Cen's heart, Sun Cen stuck in his throat in one breath, a huge roar in his ears, time stopped here, she lay stiffly on the bed, and listened weakly to the sound getting closer and closer, like the grimace in a dream, bloodthirsty......
