Chen Xinrou frowned, and said to Cui'er in a low voice: "You asked the palace maids on duty to cheer up and stare carefully now." Go and invite General He in. ”

Cui'er didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly turned around and went out.

After a while, the two palace maids on duty outside were called in and stood in front of the door.

Chen Xinrou took Chen Ke's hand, and both of them sat at the table anxiously, waiting for He Yong to arrive.

The two of them sat at the table, it had been about half an hour, but they had not seen Na Cui'er return, let alone He Yong who was invited.

Chen Ke trembled, raised his eyes to look at Chen Xinrou, and said in a low voice: "Sister, Cui'er is quick with her hands and feet on weekdays, why is she so abrasive today?" Could it be some accident? ”

As she was talking to herself, she suddenly heard a creaking sound in the pane, and the two of them looked in horror, and suddenly saw that the vague black shadow was standing in front of the window, but it was even more eerie than before.

Chen Ke screamed in fright and fainted.

Outside the house, the palace maid heard the sound and came in, and when she saw this scene, she was frightened and hurried.

Chen Xinrou hurriedly called someone to call Hu Sheng, and her heart was beating wildly.

The words were divided into two ends, and said that Cui'er, coming out of Qinxiangyuan, holding a palace lamp in her hand, hurriedly walked through the corridor, and went straight to the outside of the main hall.

At this time, it was the deepest time of the night, and there was silence all around, and the occasional breeze blew by, blowing the palace lamp in her hand and swinging non-stop.

Cui'er remembered the black shadow she saw in front of her just now, as quiet as a ghost, just standing behind Princess Xinrou and Princess Ke, as if she could reach out and grab the two of them into her hands, which was eerie and soul-grabbing.

Before she knew it, she shuddered. Suddenly, a gust of wind passed in front of her, and immediately a gust of flying sand was raised, fascinating her eyes.

"Why are you so unlucky today?"

Cui'er stopped. Stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, but the palace lamp in his hand went out suddenly.

"Ah......h

Cui'er was startled, hurriedly reached into her arms, took out the flint, and re-lit the palace lantern with the lantern, raised her eyes slightly, but suddenly saw that she didn't know when. There was a person standing in front of him, his whole body was pitch black and blurry, and he couldn't see what he looked like. He stood silently in front of him, less than half a step away from him, but he couldn't hear any breathing.

"Ah...... Hell ......"

Cui'er screamed in frenzy, her voice bursting out before she could burst out. I felt a pain in my neck. Only a few gurgling sounds were heard, and the head on her neck had been broken from her neck, and she had gone far away.

With a plop, Cui'er's body fell to the ground, and the extreme expression of fear on that head was Cui'er's last emotion in this world.

Half an hour later, the palace guards on duty passed by. That's when the body was found.

When the palace was neutral, the lights were bright, and there were countless heavily armed soldiers. Surveying the corners of the palace in an attempt to find the perpetrators.

However, until the sky cleared, no clues could be found.

Yang Wenguang came to the Heart Cultivation Hall worriedly, and after being informed by Gonggong Hai, he lowered his hands and walked into the main hall quickly, not daring to raise his eyes to see the person sitting on the dragon chair, and knelt on the ground with a thud, shouting: "Holy Shengming, Weichen is not doing things well and neglecting his duties, which makes the assassin enter the palace and commit murder!" Please punish the ministers! ”

Chen Yu's face was very ugly, and he shouted: "What is the palace?" It is a place where I recuperate, and it is also a place where my royal sister and concubine live in peace! How exactly did you send people on duty? It will allow the Assassins to come and go freely, and kill people invisibly. What's even more hateful is that this assassin would disturb my two royal sisters! What a bold and unforgivable sin! I have three days to catch the Assassin! ”

Yang Wenguang had never seen Emperor Wuzong so thunderous and furious, and when he withdrew, his body was already soaked.

He angrily stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his face, pondered for a while, and hurriedly turned around and left the palace and came to King Jing's mansion to discuss the matter.

Prince Jing had long heard that in the palace last night, someone broke into Qinxiangyuan at night and killed Princess Xinrou's most trusted palace maid Cui'er.

A trace of panic slipped through his heart inexplicably, and he struggled to think about who did it and what he wanted.

At this time, he raised his eyes to look at Yang Wenguang, who was sitting on the side, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever gone to check the body of the palace maid Cui'er in person?" ”

Yang Wenguang hurriedly nodded and said, "That's natural, this matter involves the two royal sisters of the Holy Lord, how can I not do it myself?" However, after I read it, I had a lot of doubts in my heart, and I thought it was very strange! ”

King Jing raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at him: "Tell me about it!" ”

"First of all, this palace maid came out of Qinxiangyuan and wanted to go to the place where the palace guards stayed to find General He to enter the palace. With a short distance of about 100 meters, and an open space in between, if you kill someone, wouldn't it be easy to be heard? But last night, no one heard Na Cui'er's cry for help.

Secondly, according to the two princesses, they both saw a black shadow one after another, and more than half an hour after Na Cui'er left, they saw the black shadow again, and Princess Ke fainted with too much fright. And almost at the same moment, Na Cui'er was killed in a clearing a hundred meters away. These are all incredible, incredible! ”

After listening to this, King Jing pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "General Yang, this shows that there are so many possibilities. First, the Assassin was highly skilled and unfathomable. Second, there are at least two even Assassins. ”

"Ah, is this worth it? Lord Jing, how is this good? These Assassins have come and gone without a trace, and how do we catch them? ”

Prince Jing stood up and walked around the room a few times, before he came to Yang Wenguang and said in a deep voice: "The purpose of these assassins is definitely not as simple as killing a little palace maid, we might as well wait and see what happens!" I'll intercede for you, and I'll give you more time to handle the case. ”

Yang Wenguang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him, and then hurriedly left the house again.

On this day, there were additional guards throughout the palace, and around the two princesses' bedrooms, many dead soldiers from the shadow camp were arranged.

The entire palace was in a state of tension.

Xiaohua went out early in the morning, and was surprised to find this change, and asked a few palace maids and eunuchs who she knew before, and only then did she know about last night's events, and her heart was beating wildly, and she hurriedly returned to Tianxiangju, and hurriedly ran to Ruyan and Liu Nianrou, and said breathlessly: "Sister Rou, Sister Yan, have you heard?" Last night, Princess Xinrou's Qinxiangyuan entered the assassins, disturbing the two princesses, so frightened that Princess Ke fainted, and killed Princess Xinrou's personal palace maid Cui'er! Now, the entire palace is panicked and heavily guarded! (To be continued......)
