Chapter 44: The Phantom Looming (1)

In the blink of an eye, there are less than ten days left before the 100-day festival of the first emperor. According to the post newspaper, King Jiangling returned to Beijing for the funeral car and was about to arrive in Luoyang, Tokyo. After the emperor got the report, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart:. It seems that with the swift return of Li Bin's killer, everything is starting to go smoothly.

Because the king of Jiangling expressed his willingness to be summoned back to Beijing to mourn in front of the imperial court, the emperor heard all kinds of rumors from Wanrong, although he still had doubts about the cause of the death of the concubine mother and daughter, and could only follow the most common theory, according to the mother and daughter were treated as martyrs, and sent orders to Pei Baiyao to build two more burial mausoleums for them in the former emperor's mountain mausoleum, so as to place the bodies of the two people.

Soon, the two burial tombs have been built and completed, and on the day of the 100-day festival of the former emperor, King Gangneung personally sent his mother and sister to the burial.

Before the official burial, the coffin of the eldest princess of Changning was temporarily shelved in the Golden Immortal Temple next to the eldest princess's mansion, and the female Taoist priest in the temple held a puja for her to transcend the dead.

On this day, as soon as the sky was dark, a mysterious black shadow fell from the roof of the Golden Immortal Temple, and flashed into a clean room on the side of the hall.

In the clean room, Furong, who was dressed as a Taoist priest and was doing evening classes, seemed to have been looking forward to the arrival of this person for a long time, so she hurriedly got up to meet her, held the hands of the visitor tightly, and asked with concern: "Sister, are you okay?" I'm dying my sister these days. ”

The person who came took off the black veil covering his face, squeezed out a smile on his fair and soft face, and comforted Furong and said: "There is a sister **** here to pray for the protection of the fairy king, and everything is naturally fine with Sakura." It's just that after this difficulty, our strength in the palace has almost lost more than half. It's not annoying! ”

Fleur pulled Sakura into a chair and sat down. Still refusing to let go. Up and down, Tsai looked at Sakura carefully, tears flashed in his eyes, and he choked up: "Do you know? The one I can't worry about is you. Two years ago, Niangniang ordered to inspect the East Palace, and when you were by the side of Prince Ning Xiangxuan, I was always reluctant to use you to deliver messages, not only because you were my own sister, but also because I remembered eighteen years ago. Not long after you were born, you were forced to leave your parents and sneak into the prince's mansion in the name of others. Compared with everyone else, now in the Daming Palace, your identity is the most secret, and the situation is the most difficult, but fortunately, today you are finally here, and sister, I can also sleep peacefully and have a good night's sleep. ”

"Fourth Brother Hao and Uncle Jiang Shiyi are really not worth dying! They fantasized about using their surrender in exchange for Li Jinzhong and Lu Guangting. No more indiscriminate killing, but it doesn't count as a waste of two lives. also let Li Jinzhong find his roots, and together with all our people in Hanliang Palace, they were wiped out. To this day, I still feel that I am guilty of this evil breath in my heart. Sakura complained angrily.

Alas, they also thought about others and did not want more people to be burdened and die, so they did not hesitate to give up their lives to turn themselves in. Other brothers and sisters have spirits under the Nine Springs, and they will also understand their painstaking efforts. Fleur gently patted the back of Sakura's hand and gently persuaded her.

"In the past few days, I have secretly counted according to the list you gave me, among the people who are still in the Daming Palace, this time in addition to the twelve people in the Hanliang Palace, there are twenty-six people who have unfortunately been killed, and now there are less than thirty of our people left in the palace. Moreover, there are less than ten of these thirty people, and they will never be able to organize an operation like the assassination of Yang Tang'er. Sakura reported the situation in the palace to Fleur, and there was obviously some discouragement in her tone.

"After you return to the palace from here tonight, you must immediately try to inform everyone who is alive that you must quietly withdraw from the palace before the 100-day sacrifice of the former emperor. I will arrange a proper and safe place for them outside Chang'an City, so that they can live a stable life without worrying about food and clothing, and they will no longer have to be afraid. Fleur's voice was not high, but it was unmistakably majestic.

"What?" Sakura jumped up all of a sudden and screamed, "Furong, were you scared by Li Jinzhong and Lu Guangting?" Niangniang's revenge has not been avenged, the general is still in a foreign country in Tibet, full of hope that we should cooperate with the outside world, and then wait for the opportunity to kill back to Chang'an, you are going to withdraw all the people now, and live in seclusion? ! If you want to withdraw, I can fight Li Jinzhong's old gelding dog to the end. ”

Fleur did not show weakness, pointed to the direction of the hall, and reprimanded sharply: "What does the child know!" Did I say that my mother's revenge will not be avenged? Did I say I wanted to live in seclusion from now on? To tell you the truth, I just don't want anyone to die with me anymore! ”

"You're going to die? Do you want to leave ...... alone?"

"Yes, it's time to settle the old accounts with Li Jinzhong's new accounts." Furong replied very calmly, "As soon as Yang Tang'er and Li Bin die, there will be no evil seeds left in the palace of the Yang family, and the only major thing left is to avenge the death of the mother, and I am enough to deal with Li Jinzhong, an old eunuch." ”

Sakura realized that she had misunderstood her sister, so she turned her anger into joy, stepped forward and grabbed Fleur's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Okay, then let everyone else withdraw." I stayed alone to accompany my sister to take the old man's head. ”

Fleur didn't have a smile on her face, and said solemnly to Sakura: "You can stay in the palace for the time being and don't have to leave, but, from today onwards, I will never allow you to take revenge again." From now on, you will stay by Dugu Wanrong's side and be a person in the palace. ”

Sakura stubbornly shook off Furong and asked unconvinced: "Without me, you have no power to restrain the chicken, why should you kill Li Jinzhong and avenge your mother?" ”

Fleur patted Sakura's shoulder lovingly, and replied with a bit of mystery: "Sister, I have my own clever plan, I can kill people invisibly, so I don't bother to help, sister." ”

"Liar...... Then I only allow you to kill Li Jinzhong, and you are not allowed to lose your life like Fourth Brother Hao and them. Sakura pouted.

She blinked, suddenly remembered something, and also learned from Furong's appearance and pretended to say mysteriously: "Sister, let me tell you something, maybe you can really kill people with a knife, and it is unknown to get rid of Li Jinzhong." Then, she told Furong in detail about the night Li Bin was killed, the emperor stabbed Xie Liangchen to death in public in Yuxiu Palace, and asked Li Jinzhong to arrest the murderer in three days.
