Red Dust Chapter 25 Murder Scene
As the night deepened, the catkins were still sitting on a tall tree, this ancient tree was extremely tall, and it seemed to be hundreds of years old.
Standing in this position, you can just see the lights of the entire imperial capital. There is a huge pond under the tree, and the schools of carp gate have long since rested during the day.
Liu Futong swayed his legs, and his original hunger seemed to have been forgotten and forgotten. "It's so difficult to be a human being, should I ask my brothers about this?"
"Hurry, hurry, don't be discovered!"
Hearing a female voice from under the tree, Liu Wutong lowered her head, and saw two palace maid-like people walking towards here with two or three guards.
I don't sleep at night.,Sneaking around in the imperial garden.,Hehe.,It's really a little interesting.。
There is a hunch that Liu Futong feels that he will become a witness to a big event, and it will be fun now!
Without thinking about anything else, Liu Futong stared intently at the movement under the tree, and tried her best to control her breathing, hiding herself behind the leaves.
Fortunately, this ancient tree has lush branches and leaves, and the trunk is tall, and it is not so easy to be found. I'm quite curious, I've only heard it from Senior Brother Graphite, and I've never seen the real court drama!
When I looked closely, the guards behind the two palace maids were dragging a hemp bag in their hands, which seemed to contain some heavy objects. There was even blood oozing out of the sack, and there was no need to think about it, it must be a human inside.
Why do the people in the palace like to do such things? Even though he knew that there were endless ways to compete for favor in the harem, the lives of these maids were even less worth mentioning. But I didn't expect such a thing to always let myself run into it, is this too good luck or too bad?
Looking at the dragged sack, Liu Futong secretly thought to himself, could it be that the maid in the palace knew the big secret, so she was killed? After shedding so much blood, I don't know if I will die. Looking at it like this, even if you don't die, you're about to die.
I saw that the two palace maids signaled to open the sack, and as the sack was opened, Liu Futong's eyes widened, wanting to take a good look at who was inside.
A strand of long hair spread out, and then a ragged woman in Tsing Yi appeared in front of Liu Wutong, the woman's face was pale and bloodless, and her body was covered with blood marks from the whip. Her hands were even tightly tied with ropes, and she was embarrassed.
Such inhuman treatment really hurt her, and the woman even had a few scars on her face, and it seemed that even if she was healed, it was very likely to leave scars. How much hatred and how much resentment is actually pumped in the face?
Liu Futong has some heart palpitations, these guys are still not human! What woman doesn't care about her looks? Hit it, hit it, what do you do with it? It's a lifetime thing! That's a lot worse than myself......
One of the palace maids pinched the woman's bloodstained face and sneered, "Second Miss, you shouldn't have robbed things with Her Royal Highness the Princess, otherwise you can spend your life in peace and stability in the firewood room, but you don't know how to be polite." ”
Second Miss? Liu Futong smacked her lips, it's a young lady anyway, why did she become like this?
Could it be that Her Royal Highness the princess is Yun Shu? But Yun Shu is obviously not such a person, so who is Her Royal Highness the princess in their mouths? Does Yunyi have any other daughters? Why haven't you heard of it?
A guard kicked the second lady in the lower abdomen fiercely, and spat a mouthful of saliva, "Hmph, I don't know what to do, and I don't see what your identity is, you dare to show off in front of Her Royal Highness the princess, looking for death!" ”
As he spoke, he wanted to push the woman into the pond, but the palace maid stopped him, "Wait, have you forgotten what the princess explained?" ”
"Don't dare."
She turned to the other palace maid and commanded in a low voice, "You go back first, we are here, you must be careful not to be discovered by other people and Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Liu Wutong secretly pondered to himself, he would definitely not be able to fight a few of them alone, not to mention that he was completely at a disadvantage now. If she is rashly exposed now, maybe Her Royal Highness will let herself die a miserable death like this girl.
So, it's not your own instigation, let's take another look, focus on the overall situation. If you have the chance, go down and save her yourself, as long as she doesn't die.
Several people under the tree winked at each other, and one of the guards directly picked up the woman's already tattered clothes, which made the woman's body almost exposed in front of him.
Damn, can you bear it like this?!
Just as he was about to go down, he saw another guard hurriedly take off his cloak and wrap the woman, his tone was very displeased, "No matter how annoying she is, no matter how damn she is, we can't take advantage of the danger of others to humiliate a woman of her age like this!" ”
The palace maid sneered, "Heh, what kind of good person are you pretending to be at this time?" Gong Chen, you also intervened in this matter, and now I am afraid it is too late to regret it. You also contributed to her becoming like this, and you still want to be alone? Don't you forget, how this woman bullied Her Royal Highness during the day. ”
"Of course not." Gong Chen lowered his head, "I will naturally do my best to complete Her Royal Highness Princess's affairs, and I will never let Her Royal Highness the Princess suffer such a great grievance, but anyway, she is a dying person, why bother so much." ”
"Then don't talk nonsense, it's going to be thrown here anyway!"
Throw it here? Liu Wutong was stunned, this woman's clothes were ragged, if she was left here overnight, I am afraid it would be difficult to live. Even if it's a big life and a breath, I'm afraid it's hard to save it, even if it's yourself.
Now that the weather is about to enter autumn, it is not very cold, but she has already been injured like this......
The palace maid snorted coldly and said to the other guard: "Li Sheng, I'll leave it to you and Gong Chen here, this matter is done, and it can be regarded as a bad breath for the princess." ”
The guard, who was called Li Sheng, didn't speak from beginning to end, just stayed honestly all the time, and couldn't tell what his temperament was. But his expressionless face shouldn't be a guy to mess with.
Gong Chen, Li Sheng? These two names are really good, and I like them a lot, but the princess in their mouth doesn't seem to be a good person, but they're too well-behaved, right? So much admiration for your own master?
If I had a few guards like this around me, I would wake up laughing even if I was dreaming, which is great. If this matter is related to Yun Shu, then it can only be said that Yun Shu is a little different from what he imagined......
Suddenly, only two guards remained.
Li Sheng glanced at Gong Chen, was silent for a while, and said, "I know your thoughts, but as slaves, we can't do anything, hurry up and solve it, don't implicate yourself." I know you don't want to do this, but it's over, and I can't help you. ”
Gong Chen nodded, "I understand, I just think it's really too much for us to do this......
"Be careful!" Li Sheng covered Gong Chen's mouth, "How dare you talk nonsense in this forbidden palace?" If you hear you, you'll die! ”
"But what we're doing now won't die if someone finds out? Who is this, you don't know? That's ......."
Before he finished speaking, Gong Chen was punched by Li Sheng, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and then sat on the ground with a butt, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Take back your children's affection for me!"
Liu Wutong seemed to have heard some shocking secret, and raised her eyebrows, could it be that this Gong Chen likes this half-dead second lady? Wow, this must be another rare legendary story, a bitter mandarin duck.
But Gong Chen, who was looking up, happened to see Liu Wutong who was squatting on the book and eavesdropping carefully, his eyes widened, and his right hand slowly touched the saber on his waist, and his eyes gradually became murderous.
Seeing that it had been discovered, Liu Futong pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, "That...... What a coincidence, I'm ...... I'm here to breathe, and so are you? ”
Li Sheng didn't say a word, he directly raised his sword and stabbed it, quickly and ruthlessly!
Liu Wutong had no choice but to jump off the tree, and just landed and stood up, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a sword was firmly placed on his neck.
Fortunately, the opening that Su Han made before has been restored, and it doesn't matter if there is one more now! The sword on the tree was inserted very deeply, and the leaves fell a lot, and Liu Wutong swallowed his saliva, if he was stabbed, he was afraid that he would have ......
She said timidly: "Actually, I am passing by, do you believe it?" ”
Li Sheng jumped on the branch and drew his sword back, looked at Liu Wutong and said coldly: "She knows everything just now, and she must kill her!" ”
"Calm down!" Liu Wutong smiled, "Two big brothers, please calm down, you just haven't been here before, okay?" I don't know anything, I really don't know anything. ”
Gong Chen glanced at Li Sheng, and then whispered to Liu Xutong: "I don't think you look like a maid in the palace, but why have I never seen you?" Who the hell are you, honestly I might let you go."
Hearing this, Liu Wutong pulled the corners of her mouth, her face was speechless, how could she let me go? Are you kidding? Even if you let me go, the one across from you won't let me go! Are you stupid or do you think I'm stupid?
"Me, my identity may be a bit complicated, do you want to put the knife down and listen?"
"Put it down!"
There was a coquettish cry not far away, and I saw Yun Shu running over with her skirt, even her forehead was covered with a little sweat, it seemed that she was really in a hurry.
Could it be that Her Royal Highness the princess in their mouth is Yun Shu? But Yun Shu clearly wouldn't do such a thing, but why did she get the news so quickly? After hearing them say so much just now, there was always a feeling that Yun Shu was innocent, and they volunteered to vent their anger for Yun Shu.
And if this thing was really done by Yun Shu, then she didn't have to show up like this......
"Sister Liu, it's my fault, I'm sorry?" Yun Shu hurriedly shouted, "What do you want me to do?!" Don't hurry up and put down your sword, who made you treat this princess's guest like this? Don't hurt her! ”
Gong Chen and Li Sheng hurriedly retreated to the side and knelt down, burying their heads very low, "Subordinates should be damned!" ”
Yun Shu hurriedly stepped forward, with a worried face, and even tears in his eyes, "Sister Liu, are you okay?" You're scared the hell out of me, but I'm glad I wasn't late! ”
Then he looked at the two kneeling people, and said helplessly: "Forget it, you guys get up, forgive you for being unintentional." If you hurt Sister Liu, you don't need Sister Liu to speak, and the Three Emperor Brothers and I will definitely punish you for your crimes. ”
didn't care about catching up with Yun Shu, Liu Wutong pointed to the half-dead woman lying on the ground, "Yun Shu, did you do this?" ”
"What?" Yun Shu looked puzzled, she walked forward to check on the woman suspiciously, and when she saw the woman's miserable appearance, she exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly took a few steps back, "Who is this?" How does it look like this?! ”
She looked panicked, and Liu Xutong held her slightly cold hand, it seemed that she didn't do it, otherwise she wouldn't be so surprised. But if it is, then how deep is this Yun Shu's scheming?
At this time, Li Sheng knelt down and kowtowed a few times, "Her Royal Highness the princess forgives the sin, this matter ...... This matter was done by me and Gong Chen. ”
Yun Shu's face was incredulous, "You guys? You usually keep to yourself, why would you hurt a palace maid like this? ”
Liu Wutong seemed to have discovered something interesting, and said playfully: "You are wrong, this is not as simple as a palace maid." ”
I heard someone call her Miss He just now, how could she be just an ordinary palace maid?
Hearing this, Yun Shu looked at the two kneeling people again, and said in a cold voice, "What the hell is going on?" Gong Chen, you are the most honest on weekdays, you say, there must be no concealment. ”
Gong Chen frowned, "Your Royal Highness the princess, please forgive me, this is ...... Be...... The second lady of Prime Minister Ye's family, today she collided with Her Royal Highness the princess in the princess's mansion, and the two of her subordinates really couldn't see it, so they ......"
"Nonsense!"
Yun Shu stomped his feet on the spot and yelled at them, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you send Miss Ye to my mansion and invite the best imperial doctor, don't make a noise, and go back and settle accounts with you!" ”
"Yes!"
Hearing the order, Li Sheng and Gong Chen hurriedly left with Miss Ye. Liu Wutong frowned slightly, don't make a noise? This Miss Ye is afraid that her life will be at stake, why should she be silent at this time? And I couldn't think the panic in her eyes was a little ...... Somewhat deliberately.
Yun Shu grabbed Liu Xutong's hand tightly, she seemed to be nervous, and her voice seemed to be crying, "Sister Liu, I'm afraid...... Woo woo, will my father punish me? ”
Looking at Yun Shu's anxious appearance of being about to cry, Liu Wutong just wanted to comfort something. But Yun Shu suddenly let go of Liu Xutong's hand and sobbed a few times, "Sister Liu, it's my fault, I didn't take care of them, and I ask you to help me keep this secret for the time being." ”
Seeing that Liu Futong was silent, she continued: "Sister Liu, don't worry, I will definitely cure Miss Ye and send her to the mansion safely!" ”
No matter what happened, this scene was indeed a little chaotic, Liu Wutong looked at the poor Yun Shu, and couldn't bear it, "I know, you go first." ”
"Thank you, Sister Liu."
I was full of doubts just now, but I don't know why I couldn't help but soften my heart when I saw Yun Shu's small face full of fear and nervousness, and his smart eyes were full of tears. I was really reluctant to question like this.
It is naturally a good thing for people to have compassion, but they cannot abuse compassion, which Liu Wutong still understands.
