Volume 1 The Return of the General Chapter 24 Serial Murders

This palace banquet is indeed more gorgeous than Xiao Qiao imagined.

There are two seats on the high place, and Lin Shuangyi said that it is the position of the emperor and the concubine.

Xiao Qiao didn't know or heard of Concubine Yin, but she felt that the golden chair with dragons and phoenixes and the drapes fluttering with curtains were a little too dazzling, so that she couldn't connect these with the young man in her memory.

Wearing a red carpet, directly from the high platform to the end of the palace banquet, like a bright river. On both sides of this "river", the laughing flowers and branches of the concubines and their ladies trembled, the beads in the sideburns, and the jewels on the necks and wrists, accompanied their colorful clothes to linger among the flickering candles.

After a while, Xiao Qiao withdrew his gaze to Lin Shuangyi.

Xiao Qiao always felt that Lin Shuangyi was different from their mortal fans, just sitting upright, with a hint of smile, without so many embellishments of foreign objects, just a lilac skirt.

Although people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, temperament is something that is natural and cannot be artificial.

Lin Shuangyi said that he had been promoted that day, but Xiao Qiao didn't expect it to be so close, and Lin Shuangyi's seat was only three seats away from the high platform.

Xiao Qiao was looking, and Lin Shuangyi had already stood up and greeted the people who came.

"Wife Xiao Lin, please Qin Zhaoyi Wanfu Jin'an."

Xiao Qiao also followed Lin Shuangyi, and pretended to owe a body.

"Madame General, don't be polite." Qin Zhaoyi said with a smile.

Xiao Qiao tilted his head sideways to look at the woman.

Although this woman is just Zhaoyi, there is a delicate crested hairpin on her temples, her facial features are not very exquisite, but she is upright, and she looks a little familiar, wearing a white long skirt, lined with pale pink brocade wrapping chest, and the cuffs are embroidered with gold silk with a few delicate orchid leaves.

Kelan leaves were originally cold flowers, but they were hooked out by this golden wire, but they were not as good as a few ordinary leaves.

Qin Zhaoyi was about to sit down, but a sharp laugh sounded behind her, and she had to stand aside and wait again.

"Yo, who should this palace be, I saw this crested hairpin from afar, and I thought it was which sister and sister were sealed, and the palace people carelessly notified me of Xining Palace! Yunlai, you said, this person who was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion is good, even if he is not favored, he can be regarded as decent by relying on his family. ”

The person who came clearly had the two big words "not good" on his face, and after that, the woman next to him who was called "Yunlai" grinned maliciously, and then bowed slightly and said: "Qin Zhaoyi, Yunlai is so polite."

Prime Minister's House?

Xiao Qiao only thought about it, no wonder he felt that this person was familiar, thinking about it like this, this life is indeed a little similar to Qin Zijiao, this Qin Zhaoyi should be Qin Zijiao's sister, Xiao Qiao only knew that his four sisters were very protective of him, but he didn't know that he actually had a sister in the palace.

But if this Qin Zhaoyi is Qin Xiang's daughter, how can she be just a Zhaoyi? Still being bullied by others in this palace?

How unpopular is that...... Xiao Qiao sighed.

"Concubine Ling, Yun Guiren." Qin Zhaoyi was not annoyed, but bowed expressionlessly.

"Oops! That's it, sister, this sister can't stand it, but my sister will fly up the clouds, how can she give me a concubine to salute. ”

That Ling Concubine deliberately bit the word "concubine" very hard.

Qin Zhaoyi stood without speaking, but Xiao Qiao noticed that her knuckles were slightly white.

"Dog minion! I'm still stunned what to do! Don't go and unload the crested hairpin on Qin Zhaoyi's head! Can anyone take that crested hairpin? If you break our future harem master, you will be asked! ”

Yun Guiren's sentence "Lord of the Harem" didn't know whether he was joking at Qin Zhaoyi or currying favor with Concubine Ling, but he said the meaning of Concubine Ling's words.

Xiao Qiao didn't expect that this Yun Guiren looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was "excellent" at learning.

Although Qin Zhaoyi's personal palace maid stopped her, she couldn't resist several palace people to get started one after another. Qin Zhaoyi never thought that she would dress up carefully today and want to please the emperor, but before she saw the emperor, she was so insulted by others in front of the public.

A palace man took advantage of the chaos of pulling the hairpin to push Qin Zhaoyi to the ground.

"Ah, why did my sister wrestle......" Yun Guiren was about to help, but Qin Zhaoyi shook off her hand.

"Not necessarily." The words are all indifferent.

Qin Zhaoyi had a mess of sideburns, tears of grievance in the corners of her eyes, and left the table in a hurry, making the concubine step on the delicate crested hairpin on the ground, but Yun Guiren was a little distressed, and stuffed the hairpin into her sleeve while others were not paying attention.

It's just that these were accidentally put into Xiao Qiao's eyes.

After Concubine Ling and Yun Guiren both sat down with a satisfied smile, Xiao Qiao leaned down and asked Lin Shuangyi in a low voice.

"How can a concubine be so domineering?"

"The general doesn't know. There is only one concubine in this harem, and the second most is the concubine. The concubine is extravagant and domineering, and the concubine's father is a loyal party of the emperor, so she can stand the emperor's favor through the light, and she doesn't take anyone in her eyes. ”

"One person as a concubine?"

"Yes. There is no queen in the huge harem, so everything is decided by the concubine, and the only concubine in the harem...... Only the name is heard, but no one has ever seen it. Lin Shuangyi paused, "Call Concubine Xiao." ”

Xiao Qiao just frowned and nodded, raising her eyes to observe the domineering concubine with her spare eyes, but Lin Shuangyi next to her breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that Concubine Ling didn't know that she didn't know how to put it above the emperor before she stopped to watch the general, otherwise, Qin Zhaoyi would not be the only one who was expelled from the palace banquet today.

The palace people came, Gu Beixuan and Concubine Yin finally sat down, Xiao Qiao just stared at the floor and didn't look at him.

Looking at his piece of warbler Yanyan, Xiao Qiao had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It seems that the two people who are familiar with each other have walked towards their respective two worlds, and looking back, everything can only be recalled.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, concubine thousand years old, thousand years old."

"Flat." Gu Beixuan said lightly.

But when Gu Beiling's voice suddenly sounded from the top of his head, Xiao Qiao's heartbeat was still out of order, and he touched his nose nervously. As soon as he raised his head, he met a pair of eyes in the dark, which directly frightened Xiao Qiao and quickly withdrew his gaze.

At this time, the dancing girl has already appeared, and a "Flying Sky" is not spectacular.

Mu Yi looked for Fang Cai's eye in the flying veil.

For some reason, that eye reminded Mu Yi of that day and last night, Xiao Qiao stood under the moon, slowly raised his head, his eyebrows were like a sword, the cold air was pressing, the blood in his eye sockets was woven with a pair of red omentums that made people panic, and his eyes seemed to be staring at the moonlit night, black as an abyss......

Xiao Qiao's heart was also tight, and he patted Lin Shuangyi lightly, and then retreated with the palace maids who were serving wine. Xiao Qiao cautiously lowered his head all the way, learning from them to walk in broken steps, and glanced at Mu Yi to see if he had followed.

But after walking for a long time, I didn't go to the back garden that Lin Shuangyi said, and I didn't see any phoenix sacred tree......

Xiao Qiao broke away from them and searched for it by himself.

Fang Cai looked at the table carefully, and there was no glory. But if Rong Su is really in this palace and can play chess wantonly, it can't be just a headless and faceless palace maid and miscellaneous servant, right?

If...... Is it really Gu Beixuan who hid her here?

So where is she hiding?

"I've only heard of its name, but I've never seen ......"

"Calling Concubine Xiao......"

Xiao Qiao suddenly recalled Lin Shuangyi's words.

Concubine Xiao?

Xiao Qiao thought, and unconsciously walked to a dim place, there was no light here, and a row of trees next to it, reflected by the moonlight, was a little scary.

Xiao Qiao was scratching his head and was melancholy, when he heard a woman's voice coming from behind the tree, he didn't care about what the person was talking about, so he walked over and prepared to ask.

"Today, the ladies are all at the palace banquet, let's hurry up...... Lang Jun, don't you know how hard it is for me to read you......" The woman said coquettishly.

Today's palace banquet, the guards were able to enter the harem to protect the safety of the emperor, concubines and female dependents, although the guards and the palace maid fornication is a capital crime to kill the head, but there are always so many affectionate couples, in the dark moon and high windy night...... Private meetings.

The man held the beauty for a while, and was about to make his next move, when he saw a frightened face hidden behind the tree in the moonlight.

The woman turned her head and called out "ah", and then she was busy covering her mouth and covering her shame with the scattered clothes next to her.

"I, I, I...... I didn't see anything! Go ahead! Xiao Qiao ran away.

I don't know how many walls and alleys I ran around, Xiao Qiao finally stopped out of breath.

She hunched over and panting, a cold sweat on her forehead, although the picture books she had read before were ...... I've heard a little, but now that she's bumped into it like this, she's still a little shy.

"Not what I'm looking at...... It's they right there...... It's really not me who is filthy......" Xiao Qiao comforted himself.

Anyway, what kind of place is this?

There is green bamboo planted next to this road, and I saw that the lens of green bamboo seems to be a round door, and there is some light in that door.

Xiao Qiao walked forward with some kind of anticipation.

No way...... Who would have thought that the invincible general would be a road idiot?

Xiao Qiao was indeed weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to think that Fang Cai was so reckless, so he just tilted his head and looked in.

But she only heard a "knock", and when she looked closely, she found that it was a well, and there was no one around, but she clearly heard the sound of "knock...... What exactly is this sound?

She had some bad premonitions in her heart, and walked forward cautiously. The only thing around is the sound of the wind blowing bamboo leaves.

By the moonlight, Xiao Qiao saw the miserable white face floating on the surface of the well, and his brows were furrowed.

Someone fell into the well!

How is her!

Xiao Qiao looked intently, the eyes of the person who fell into the well were closed, and there was no movement to ask for help.

But as soon as she heard the sound of falling into the well, she rushed over, if this was suicide, even if she was determined to die, but when people were on the verge of death, their bodies would always have a struggle for survival. And now this person is unconscious, which can only mean that this person was killed and then dumped here!

She bounced away, and this place was not suitable for long.

Sure enough, right away, she heard footsteps in the distance.

"...... Mother......

A palace maid was anxiously searching, followed by a group of people.

Then, Xiao Qiao heard a scream.

"!" The palace maid Zhang Huang was at a loss, Fang Cai Niangniang just went to the toilet, and after waiting for a long time, she came out to look for it, how could she ...... How can I see it like this again......

The palace maid knelt down and cried, and the palace people next to her were busy salvaging people from the well.

"Qing'er, this ...... Let's mourn ......," a father-in-law advised.

"No...... No...... Niang Niang must have been killed...... He must have been killed...... Right! The mother must have been killed by that slut...... She's been planning for a long time...... She killed her mother! ”

The palace maid Qing'er shouted, and everyone looked at each other, they knew who the "slut" in Qing'er's mouth was.

The father-in-law gave a look, and then a few palace maids came up and covered Qing'er's mouth until Qing'er's shouts became smaller and smaller......

Encountered a serial murder! Xiao Qiao's heart tightened, and he subconsciously went to pull out the whip, but found that he didn't bring it.

Seeing that the Qing'er girl was about to be covered to death, Xiao Qiao really couldn't hold it back.

He was about to rush forward, but he was pulled hard. She was stunned and slashed backhand, but someone pinned it against the wall.

A gust of wind swept across her face, and she raised her eyes viciously.

"If you want to stay alive, be honest." The man said sharply.
