Chapter 122: Fire

"Is this the palace maid?" A slightly shorter opening asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The tall man walked to the moonlight with the person in his arms, lowered his head and squinted, and replied, "Yes, this is right, the master will not admit his mistake." After speaking, he glanced at the short man and said strangely: "I just want to ask, what are you going to do when you take out the clothes that are placed at the head of her bed?" ”

"Fool, you'll find out later." Short people don't have a good way.

Another stronger one said: "Since this is the case, let's go quickly, otherwise it won't be good when the effect of the medicine is over." ”

"Let's go."

The three black-clothed men led a man quietly in one direction, and soon came to the door of a room. The two men in black looked at the tall one, and when they saw him nod, they knew that this was it.

The three of them did the same thing, and after burning the incense, they opened the deadbolt and walked in. As soon as they entered, the three of them couldn't help but shudder, because the temperature here was too low.

"It stinks!" The tall man pinched his nose and said.

The other two didn't have such a keen sense of smell, and neither smelled anything. I saw a palace maid sleeping there wrapped in a quilt on the edge of the wall, so I looked at the bed again.

Just by a glance, they knew that under the bulging quilt on the bed, there was not a person lying there, probably some kind of clothes stuffed inside.

The short man pushed the tall man and said, "Aren't you good at nose, sniff it, where is the body hidden." ”

The tall man rolled his eyes, lifted the veil and began to smell the room. If the palace maid who was brought here at this time was awake, then she would recognize that the tall man in black in front of her was the eunuch who knocked things over today.

After a while, the tall man pointed under the bed and said, "Needless to say, the corpse must be hidden under the bed, and the stench came from there." ”

The other two went to the bed and looked down, and found that there were things under the bed, and the pots and buckets were all full of ice. The most conspicuous thing is the middle, the big black box.

Heli dragged the box out, and as soon as they opened the fight, they saw a corpse curled up in it with a bruised face. Although there was so much ice, there were already a lot of yellow-brown spots where the corpse was exposed.

"Tut-tut, I don't know what stupid things I did, so that the imperial lady made this ruthless move and killed her grandmother." The tall man pinched his nose, glanced at it, and then stood far away and said.

A little stronger glanced at the tall man and whispered, "This is what you should worry about?" Just do what we have to do. ”

"Did you bring anything?"

"Of course." The tall man took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve and shook it, "It's so cool here, if it weren't for this, maybe it would be really hard to burn." ”

The short man glanced at the corner of the wall and asked with some hesitation, "What is the palace maid going to do?" Since the imperial concubine would let her do such a thing, it must be the imperial concubine's trusted confidant, what if she dies and the imperial concubine is angry? ”

"When the imperial concubine knows the internal reason, will the emperor hand us over for the sake of the imperial concubine and let her be discouraged."

The three of them looked at each other, and suddenly fell silent.

When they received the order, the three of them were in disbelief. Their role has always been to be loyal to the emperor and protect the emperor, but they received orders to protect the palace concubines, which is really unprecedented.

Later, I learned from an old-timer that the emperor had also sent someone to secretly protect the succession, and they calmed down.

For them, the palace concubines who can be protected by them will definitely not be light in the emperor's heart. Therefore, they are not sure that if the situation just mentioned really happens at that time, the emperor will hand them over to the imperial concubine to be angry.

The tall man swallowed his saliva and said slowly: "What, what can't you do as a human being, this palace maid must be valued by the imperial concubine, so don't let her die." ”

The other two didn't speak, but seemed to agree.

Then the short man shook off the clothes he was holding, looked at them, and then said to them, "Which of you will dress a woman?" ”

As he spoke, the short man looked at the palace maid who was brought by them, wearing only a middle coat, and sighed a little heartily. The tall man was still a little confused, and asked, "Why do you have to dress her?" ”

The short man looked at him with disgust and said, "With your brain, I really don't know how you were chosen." ”

"If you don't dress her, others should wonder why this palace maid came here in middle of the night wearing a middle coat."

The tall man opened his mouth, and finally couldn't help but say: "Didn't we say that we would set it on fire, as long as it burns, everything will be turned to ashes, why bother to dress her?" ”

The stronger man covered his lips and smiled, this overly cautious person will easily do such a superfluous thing.

After the short man was stunned for a moment, he angrily split his clothes and threw them on the tall man's face.

"Long-winded, of course I do."

The slightly stronger man hurriedly played a round and said, "Okay, okay, let's start doing." Although there is no wind tonight, you must always be vigilant, in case the wind blows, it will not be good. ”

If the wind blows the fire to the imperial concubine's bedroom, then the three of them would better be buried in the fire together.

The three of them pulled the body out of the box with great difficulty, and then put it on the bed, and stiffened its stiff body. The sound of 'kala' kept ringing, it was the sound of broken bones.

Finally, a black liquid poured out of the bamboo tube and smeared some of it on every corner of the room.

The three of them walked out of the room, and a strong wind knocked over the oil lamp on the table, and the table was set on fire in an instant. The door was wide open, and there was one lying on the edge of the bed, and another lying on the door.

"Let's go! The person on duty at night will soon find out, whether the palace maid escapes or not, it depends on whether she is lucky enough! ”

The three of them thought that it would probably take a while before anyone found out. But in fact, just after they left, a man came over here.

Mama Liu's face was uncertain, and she watched the fire in the room slowly grow bigger. She resisted the urge to call someone to put out the fire, and saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and then heard someone notice the footsteps coming this way, so she left in a hurry.

"Come on, come on, come on, go to the water, go to the water here, everyone come quickly!"

Mama Liu hurriedly walked towards the main hall, thinking that there should be no one who could rush in to put out the fire with such a big fire behind her. And when the fire is smaller, I guess everything that should be burned inside will be burned out.

She turned around and saw Sakura lying in the doorway, and walked away with a hard heart. Anyway, someone has found out now and will definitely pull her out.

In fact, before going to bed, Mama Liu made an excuse to say that she came to see Mama Nan on behalf of her mother and came here once. But when she left, she found a small hole in the window screen in an inconspicuous place.

She didn't think much about it at the time, but when she came back and lay down, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became. How could a good window screen break a hole for no reason? Unless someone wants to peek inside!

She couldn't sleep at once, and after thinking about it, she got up and got dressed and came this way. It's just that she didn't expect that there was a fire here, whether the fire was accidental or man-made, she could only let it burn down and burn everything inside.

Now it is even more important that she quickly tell her master about it.

When Yuan Ge was woken up, she heard a commotion outside as soon as she opened her eyes, and she saw Qing Yu and asked, "What's going on outside?" ”

The wound on Qing Yu's face had already scabbed and fallen off, and there was only a thin powder mark on his hair, and it wouldn't be long before this powder mark would disappear.

Qing Yu's voice said respectfully: "Back to the master, someone just went back and forth, saying that there was water on the other side of the lower room." But don't worry, the fire won't come here. ”

"And then it's, Mama Liu, she's here."

After hearing this, Yuan Ge's heart jumped inexplicably, and she said, "Go, call Mama Liu in." ”

As soon as Mama Liu came in, her eyes looked at Qing Yu, and Yuan Ge immediately waved her hand to let Qing Yu retreat, and asked directly: "Mama Liu, where is the water?" ”

Mama Liu licked her lips, stepped forward and walked a few steps, standing in front of the bed before whispering: "Back to the master, it was the fire in that room, but don't worry about it, no one can rush in to put out the fire." ”

"And wait a little longer, everything that should be burned in it will be burned again, and the girl who painted Sakura has probably been saved by someone now."

Yuan Ge listened to it for a long time and didn't speak.

Originally, she also thought that after a while, when the corpse had already decomposed violently, she would directly set fire to the people and the house. It's just that she didn't expect that it would burn at this time now.

Now she only worries about whether someone will do something about it. But there was one thing she was more worried about right now, and that was how the fire was going to burn.

"Mama Liu." Yuan Ge stared straight at her and asked, "Mama, the news you got was too fast, probably at about the same time as the news from the person who found the water walker." ”

Mama Liu hurriedly explained: "Master Rong Lao Shen said more, today's incident is really a coincidence." ”

"I went there once before, and I found that the window screen was torn, and the more I looked back, the more I remembered that something was wrong, so I got up and went again." Mama Liu took a sip before she continued: "It's just that when the old man arrived, he found that the room was already on fire." ”

"At that time, the fire was still small, and the old man was afraid that someone would find something, so he waited until the fire was completely burned, and someone found out before coming here."

Yuan Ge frowned tightly when he heard this, whether this fire was man-made or accidental, it was really difficult to tell.

"Go, let's see how Sakura is doing, and if she wakes up, bring her here, this palace has something to ask her."

The cherry blossoms were helped by someone.

Seeing the description of Sakura at this time, Yuan Ge was also a little surprised. This girl's eyes are smart, and she is also a little impressed, but how long has it been, how did people become like this?

The face was blue and black, the eyes were hollow, and the feet may have been burned by the fire, and at this time, they were bandaged by an unknown middle coat, revealing some bloodstains.

"Let her sit down." Yuan Ge said.

Sakura was helped to sit down, and then she asked, "Sakura, this palace asks you, what unusual things have happened in the past two days?" ”

Sakura's lips moved, and she shook her head with a blank expression.

Yuan Ge frowned, his voice softened a little, and then said, "You think about it again, and tell me everything that happened in the past two days." ”

"Slave maid ......" Sakura seemed to have not spoken for a long time, she opened her mouth and paused, before she continued: "The slave always sees Nan Mama coming back, and she comes back to find the slave and maid to ask for her life." ”

"Draw the cherry blossoms!" Mama Liu drank: "What nonsense are you talking about in front of your master!?" ”

Yuan Ge saw that Sakura's eyes were straight, and he knew that something was wrong with her, so he stopped Mama Liu with his eyes, and asked in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, if she comes back, she will be looking for this palace instead of you." ”

"You killed her for the sake of Hongu, it's not your fault, you obeyed orders. Come, tell Hongu what happened yesterday and today. ”

Sakura's eyes lit up slightly, and she muttered: "That's right, the slave maid is the one who killed for the imperial concubine, you can't blame me, there is a debtor and a master, even if you want to find me, you shouldn't look for me!" ”

Mama Liu watched from the side with an unkind expression, and when she saw her master's face, she didn't speak out again to stop this frightened dead girl.

Yuan Ge nodded with a smile on his face, and echoed: "Yes, that's right, what Sakura said is right, tell what happened to the palace." ”

Sakura's pupils shrank, and her whole body trembled: "It's Nan Mama, it's Nan Mama who came back to take revenge." I'm already at the door, and someone has already come to save me! ”

"But the fire, as if it had a long hand, dragged me in desperately! You can't be wrong, I heard Mama Nan's voice! ”

Yuan Ge pressed the corner of his forehead with a headache, and said helplessly: "Ask a doctor to show her the burns on her legs, let her recuperate, and let people take a good look at her." ”

Mama Liu took a breath and said, "Don't worry, the old body will look for someone who has believed to come to see her." ”

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the doors and windows were rattled. Sakura, who was still sitting quietly, suddenly jumped up, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, look, Nan Mama is here, she is coming to you!" ”

"Hahahaha, there is a debtor and a master! It's none of my business, haha......"

Seeing that Sakura's voice was getting louder and louder, Mama Liu glared, stuffed her handkerchief into her mouth, and then covered her mouth tightly. She really regretted that she hadn't kicked this girl into the room when she saw the fire burning over there! (To be continued.) )
