Chapter 363: Killing People and Killing Mouths
The golden wuxi sinks, the twilight is four, the evening breeze brings a hint of coolness, and a few candles swaying and shining.
This night was destined to be an unquiet night, Xie Fuyao stood in the dark room, looking out at the moonlight through the window.
I don't know if there will be any unexpected surprises tonight.
Also unable to sleep is Xiao Shunzi, who always remembers what the palace maid's sister said tonight.
At three o'clock, at the water tank on the wall of the backyard of the Ming Cui Palace, there was a knocking sound of three short and one long, and then he stretched his hand out of the hole.
Seeing that the hour was coming, Xiao Shunzi quietly pushed open the door and tiptoed to the backyard.
Although he knew that no one would come here at night, he still looked cautious.
Xiao Shunzi lay in the corner with bated breath, waiting for the sound outside.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock. ”
Hearing the sound outside the wall, Xiao Shunzi was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled out the weeds and stretched out his hand.
The original palace maid sisters gave the medicine directly to themselves, and I don't know what happened this time, so she had to be so mysterious.
As soon as Xiao Shunzi stretched out his hand, he felt as if his fingertips had been pricked by a needle, and he subconsciously retracted it.
He whispered a word to the palace maid, and when he wanted to stretch out his hand, he felt a dark shadow behind him shroud him underneath.
Xiao Shunzi turned around stupidly and happened to see Xie Fuyao and Ziyu.
"Lord...... Master. Xiao Shunzi sat down on the ground in fright, and looked at Xie Fuyao with a frightened face, "What's the matter with you...... How could it be here. ”
"This palace is not here, how can I see with my own eyes the scene of you eating inside and out. Xie Fuyao looked at Xiao Shunzi with deep eyes.
Xiao Shunzi's eyes rolled around, there was no one else in the entire Mingcui Palace, if he ran away, it would be fine.
"Master, the slave is also forced, and the slave really has no choice. ”
Xiao Shunzi made up his mind, got up from the ground and rushed out, Xie Fuyao had already seen through his thoughts.
Xiao Shunzi had just run two steps before Xie Fuyao fell to the ground with his feet.
Before Xiao Shunzi could react more, Xie Fuyao had already clasped Xiao Shunzi's arm with his backhand, making him unable to move.
At this time, Ziyun ran in from outside, and she looked at Xie Fuyao with a little guilt.
"Master, I'm sorry, I underestimated them, there were two of them, they ran in different directions, and I didn't stop them. ”
Originally, Xie Fuyao wanted Ziyu and Ziyun to squat outside the Mingcui Palace together, but Ziyun was afraid that Xie Fuyao would be in danger, so he volunteered to go alone.
Just now, Ziyun had already grabbed the corner of the palace maid's clothes and was about to subdue her, but unexpectedly, another person suddenly appeared and pushed Ziyun to the ground.
When Ziyun got up from the ground and wanted to chase after her, the two little palace maids had already run away without a trace, and there was no way, so she had to go back to Mingcui Palace first for fear that something would go wrong.
"Forget it, just run, it's too difficult for you to be alone. ”
Although Xie Fuyao was a little disappointed, looking at Ziyun's guilty look, she didn't want to be too harsh.
"Master, Xiao Shunzi's situation doesn't seem to be very good. Ziyu suddenly pointed at Xiao Shunzi and said in horror.
Hearing this, Xie Fuyao hurriedly let go of his arm, and Xiao Shunzi fell to the ground as if he had lost his muscles and bones, his face seemed to be very painful.
Ziyun stepped forward quickly and tapped his pulse, at this time Xiao Shunzi's face had turned tattered black, and her lips were purple.
This is...... Poisoning!
Looking at Xiao Shunzi's right wrist that he was desperately raising, Ziyun saw through the moonlight that there was a mark on his middle finger that had been pricked by a needle, and the blood beads on it had now turned black.
"This is a highly poisonous crane top red, seeing blood sealing his throat, he, there is no help. Ziyun subconsciously retracted his wrist and sat on the ground.
"They're already going to take your life, do you still want to feed them and hide it?"
Xie Fuyao's heart sank, it turned out that the purpose of their coming tonight was to kill Xiao Shunzi.
They have already found out that they know the identity of Xiao Shunzi, so they killed the killer.
It's just that when did they know that Ziyun's tracking exposed their tracks?
"Xing...... Xing ......" Xiao Shunzi tried hard to express, but the violent trembling of his body and the pain of turning over the river and the sea made him unable to speak clearly.
"What did you say?" Xie Fuyao moved closer, but he still couldn't hear Xiao Shunzi's words clearly, Xingle Palace?
He tried to bite his tongue to calm himself down, he wanted to speak out, he wanted to tell the person who had harmed him.
Xiao Shunzi spit out these two words with a powerful mind, and after "Xingyu ......", his head hung down and fell to the ground.
"Ah......h
Xiao Shunzi's death was so ugly that just by looking at it, Ziyu trembled.
Xie Fuyao was still immersed in the last two words of Xiao Shunzi, he was talking about Xingyu, the Xingyu next to the queen.
Who wants to harm himself, is it Xingyu or the queen, is it Jing Concubine or Jin Guiren, Xie Fuyao felt so confused for the first time.
"Master, are you alright? Ziyun got up from the ground and helped Xie Fuyao.
Xie Fuyao shook his head gently, "Go to Renshou Palace tomorrow and tell the Queen Mother about this." ”
Now that Jinxi has entrusted all the affairs of the Sixth Palace to the Queen Mother.
No matter what the outcome of this matter is, a eunuch suddenly died in the Mingcui Palace, and there must be an explanation.
"Needless to say, Xiao Shunzi's words before he died. Xie Fu stroked his temples and frowned.
They want to kill Xiao Shunzi, just to drown out all the evidence and not let themselves find out, this matter has not been investigated, it is better not to publicize it.
For a whole night, Xie Fuyao couldn't sleep when he lay on the bed tossing and turning, as long as he closed his eyes, he was like Xiao Shunzi before he died.
I have to speed up and end this matter as soon as possible, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to protect the Ziyu and Ziyun around me.
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into Renshou Palace, and after listening to Ziyun tell the cause and effect of this incident, the Queen Mother's eyes were as deep as the sea, and she beckoned Jade to investigate.
"Concubine Ying is also a concubine, and there are only the two of you around to serve, and it's too much to say, Jade, go to the Internal Affairs Office to find a few competent people and send them to the Mingcui Palace. ”
The Queen Mother half-squinted her eyes, these people inevitably went too far, and they actually wanted to take Concubine Ying's life, but they forgot the truth that things must be reversed.
Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone live people.
She can only breathe for the hope she has to live, and once there is no hope, will she still obediently wait in the cage to die?
