Chapter 312: The Rhythm of Death
Hearing that her own lady said that the emperor wanted Master Chen to cheat to death, and wanted to use rouge gouache to make up Master Chen, Xiao Xia smiled: "Miss's makeup painted with rouge gouache doesn't look like poisoning at all, why don't I get some medicinal herbs and mix colors for Master Chen to use for makeup, what do you think?" ā
"As long as it looks like it died of poisoning, no one will suspect it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Lu Caiyun felt that what Xiao Xia said was very reasonable, so he agreed.
After Xiao Xia adjusted the color, the two came to Lord Shangshu's residence together, Chen Bo was waiting for them at the door, and when he saw Caiyun and Xiao Xia coming, he said to them: "I'm afraid that some people will suspect that the maids have already been paid by me, you can get it done quickly, and we can announce it to the public." ā
Caiyun nodded, and didn't care about avoiding suspicion and Xiao Xia entered her father-in-law's bedroom one after the other, and when she saw her daughter-in-law coming in, the old lady didn't care about anything, but just asked, "Are you all ready?" ā
"Alright." Konatsu replied.
"When you're ready, let's get started! Otherwise, it should be suspected. The old lady commanded.
Xiao Xia took out the color he had adjusted in advance and smeared some on Chen Shangshu's face, and then said to the old lady: "Old lady, let's avoid it first, you'd better smear some on Master Chen's body." ā
After the old lady finished smearing, she called the two into the bedroom, Caiyun saw that Chen Shangshu's face was purple and black, and at first glance he looked like he had been poisoned, seeing his father like this, Chen Bo took the lead in crying, and Caiyun asked Xiao Xia to call Chen Die to come over.
Chen Die didn't know that his father was cheating on death, and thought that he was really dead, hugging Chen Shangshu and crying for a long time, seeing Chen Shangshu grinning, Chen Bo hurriedly pulled away his sister and sobbed: "Xiao Fluttershy, people die like lights go out, and it doesn't help you to be in pain, so it's better to accompany your mother more." ā
Caiyun looked at Chen Bo and said, "Xianggong, you better hurry up and discuss with Steward Chen about arranging the mourning hall!" ā
Chen Die looked at her mother and said, "Mother, my father died before I got married, how can I marry a good family?" ā
"Don't worry about having a mother, I won't treat you badly." The old lady looked at her daughter and said, she knew that her daughter was sharp-tongued and didn't tell her the truth, just because she was afraid that she would leak the news.
Chen Die pursed her lips, her father was dead, and she couldn't say anything, so she had to stand next to her and cry.
Steward Chen instructed his subordinates to quickly set up the mourning hall, and then made a coffin and placed it there, in order to create a momentum, Chen Bo ordered people to notify his father's colleagues.
In order to prevent the Flying Eagle Cult from visiting Shangshu at night and arousing suspicion, Chen Bo asked Xiao Xia to put on makeup on the bodyguard, who looked and was about the same size as his father, and pretended that his father was lying in the coffin. There were several small holes drilled under the side of the coffin for ventilation.
On the night of Chen Shangshu's death, the head of the high sect visited the Shangshu Mansion at night, when he opened the lid and saw the inside, Ma De, whose face was purple and blue, thought it was really Lord Shangshu, looking at the purple skin, the head of the high sect did not want to touch it, he was not worried about his poisoning, you must know that he had an antidote, as long as he saw the terrifying appearance of the deceased, the head of the high sect was disgusted and wanted to vomit, he covered his mouth and probed the snort of the deceased, and made sure that the person in the coffin was dead, so he put the coffin lid on with confidence.
As soon as he closed the lid of the coffin, he heard the three people who were guarding the spirit running back to get the paper. So he hid behind a tree, and waited for the three of them to leave, and then secretly returned to the broken courtyard.
Seeing Sect Master Gao come back, Gao Yue asked, "Brother Gao, have you gone to Shangshu Mansion?" Is Chen Shangshu dead? ā
"I've been there, it's indeed poisoned to death, Shangshu Mansion has set up a mourning hall, and the coffin happens to be placed in the mourning hall, I took advantage of the time when the guardian left, opened the lid and looked, the deceased's skin color is indeed in line with the seven days of dispersion and death, I probed my nose again, and confirmed that this person is dead."
Gao Yue asked cautiously, "Big brother, have you seen Chen Shangshu?" Do you know what he looks like? ā
The High Sect Master was sure that Chen Shangshu was dead, and he didn't want to be questioned by Gao Yue, so he said: "If I have seen it, I will recognize his appearance when he is dead." I heard from the people who kept the spirit that it seemed to be buried in five days. ā
"That's the best, the ancestral tomb of the Chen family is outside the city, and when the time comes, we will unite with the brothers outside the city to wipe out the Chen family first, and then try to get rid of the Dog Emperor." Gao Yue felt that the opportunity had come, and she had to know that she was too depressed in this shabby house, so she took this opportunity to go out and breathe.
"I'm going out of town tonight to see how the brethren are doing." After coming out for so many days, the high sect leader was also worried about his brothers.
"Or I'll go out of the city with you," Gao Yue thought about Su Yu, and I don't know if he is doing well these days, you must know that Gao Yue's biggest worry is that he and Chunhua will fall in love for a long time.
Sect Master Gao knew that Gao Yue was worried about Su Yu, and he was a little jealous, so he said, "Xiao Yue, I don't think you should go with me!" After all, you are in good health, your martial arts have not recovered much, and the officers and soldiers defending the city are all strong in martial arts, if they find out, we will give up all our previous achievements. ā
Gao Yue pouted, "Okay then! I wait for your good news. ā
The Flying Eagle Sect Master ate something at night, and then sneaked out of the broken courtyard, Li Yuhang, who was in ambush at the mouth of the alley, and several guards immediately secretly followed him, and the High Sect Master came to the city wall, turned around, found the most lax defense, flew up, and suddenly disappeared.
Seeing that he had escaped over the city wall, several guards hurriedly said to Li Yuhang, "What should Commander Li do now?" Or we will go over the wall and chase the bandit and get him back." ā
"No need, now that he is the only one out of the city, he must have gone to inform the bandits outside the city, we will wait here, presumably he will be back soon."
A few people stood guard at the city gate until midnight, only to see that the high sect leader had climbed over the city wall and left in a hurry, knowing that he had returned to the broken courtyard, for fear that he would find out, several people did not catch up immediately, but waited until the sky was bright before returning to the alley to continue to monitor the two.
Sect Master Gao returned to the broken house, but he didn't expect Gao Yue to be asleep, he had been waiting for him, and when he saw Sect Master Gao coming back, Gao Yue got up and asked, "Brother Gao, the brothers are okay!" ā
Sect Master Gao suddenly looked at Gao Yue and said, "En." It's all good, they are also worried about us, but they can't enter the city, by the way, I heard that Chunhua seems to live with Su Yu. ā
Gao Yue knew what he deliberately said to himself, and smiled: "That's the best, I'm much more relieved to have her take care of my cousin." ā
