Chapter Seventy-One: Concubine Zhuang is dead

"Well, it's very well cleaned up! Everyone has a reward!" When I entered the courtyard, Yu Die'er found that there were a lot of new green seedlings planted in the courtyard of Ximian Palace, which looked full of green, and the pillars in the corridor and the pillars in the hall were painted with new paint, and they were all brand new.

Listening to Yu Die'er's praise, several minions were all happy. Xiao Qianzi hurriedly argued: "The minions are not asking for rewards!"

"I know that you are not for reward, but for my heart, so take it all. Yu Die'er said politely, Peony went to the palace to get a purse, and everyone distributed one.

"Let the dining room make some food, it's been a day, I should have been hungry a long time ago, I've already eaten, you don't need to prepare it for me, just see what is good in the dining room." Yu Die'er commanded.

It is already an honor to be able to enter the master's palace as a servant, which means that there is no need to squeeze the chase shop outside the palace, and it is much better than that outside the palace to live in the side room of the palace, and although the food and dishes are also the level configuration of the slave, it is also much stronger than the one outside the palace, but who has ever heard that there are slaves who want to use the good ones in the dining room? Okay, those are all the masters, where can the slaves move a little?

Xiao Qianzi stood still and didn't move, he was the one brought by Yu Die'er, and the new minions in the dining room naturally looked at him and didn't dare to move.

Seeing that he didn't move, Yu Die'er seemed to understand, and smiled: "It's okay, it's been a day since I moved in, it's the first meal, and I'm okay with it, let's go." ”

Xiao Qianzi and the minions moved their feet and went out.

Hetai just watched quietly, and sighed in his heart that she was so kind, and she was sincere to everyone, but this palace was not as simple as the people, if she was not guarded against anyone, she was afraid that she would suffer a big loss in the future, but it was not good to call her at the moment, what if she was scared away?

Yu Die'er glanced at the tips of her eyes and noticed that Hetai was still there, and she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, she pursed her lips and tactfully gave the order to evict the guest.

"Thank you for sending me back, it's getting dark this day, and it's inconvenient for me to stay with the prince. ”

Everyone is gone, no matter how thick-skinned it is, it is not easy to rely on it, Hetai can only say goodbye, and before leaving, he also explained to Peony and Qiu Ying: "If your girl has any problems, and she is sick or something, come and inform the king immediately!" Because he was always at ease, he was afraid that when the fish and butterflies would get sick again, he asked him to leave after some instructions.

When I returned to Haoyuezhai, I saw Cui Li walking around the yard and suddenly remembered about the medicine, the medicine, I forgot to tell Yu Die'er, I blamed this Cui Li, I slipped out after the next day, I never saw him, otherwise I wouldn't have forgotten about it, I only cared about Fluttershy in my eyes, and I didn't notice him.

"Where have you been this afternoon?" and now you forgot to tell Fluttershy about the medicine. Hetai said in a muffled voice.

"You kiss me and mine, I was afraid of being soured, so I went out for a walk. Cui Li looked unshaped.

However, Hetai felt that his expression was a little evasive, as if he had not said anything, but he didn't have time to ask him at the moment, and he just wanted to send the medicine to Yu Die'er, and he stretched out his hand: "Where's the medicine? I'll send it to Fluttershy now, see if she wants to take it." ”

He remembered that Cui Li had said that he didn't know if there would be side effects after taking this medicine, so he asked again: "By the way, what are the side effects of this medicine? Don't delay the time of the poison, but add other problems, that's not good." ”

Even if there are side effects, it depends on what they are, and if the side effects are too severe, then it is better not to eat them.

"The side effects aren't fatal, it's just a little uncomfortable, but are you sure you want to send it now? Even if you send it now, your Fluttershy can't take it right away, you have to think about it, so I think you should just don't send it, and tomorrow it's different, and it's dark, are you a man who is too embarrassed to stay longer? After Cui Li finished speaking without fear of death, he glanced at Hetai and waited for his counterattack.

But I saw Hetai pondering for a while, nodded and said, "What you said seems to have some truth, so I'll send it tomorrow." Then he went straight into the house, leaving Cui Li with a stunned face.

At that time, the sky was boundless black, splashing ink, and a moon hung low on the treetops, glowing with a misty faint light, but it could not illuminate the boundless dark night. In the middle of the night, everything returned to tranquility, and Hetai did not sleep peacefully, at the moment he was half-lying on the rocking chair in the study and closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly felt a very slight sound outside the window, he glanced out of the dark window, and said, "Come in." ”

As soon as the words fell, two black shadows flew in through the half-open window, and after standing still, they said in unison: "Lord Wang!

"Tianxi Palace, Concubine Zhuang! You two go and ask her, if there is an antidote to the poison she placed on the living jade, if so, take her and the antidote to the palace and place it, and the king will personally go to get it, if not, no one will stay. He Tai commanded softly and slowly, but there was a touch of cruelty in his deep dark eyes.

"Yes!" the two of them responded, and floated out of the window silently like a nightingale, with a light tiptoe, performing the stunt of flying eaves and walking on the wall, and the two figures drifted on the palace with the night wind, and went straight to Tianxi Palace.

Hetai got up from the rocking chair, and his plain white robed figure showed indescribable coldness and arrogance.

When he was not sure of Yu Die'er's identity, the original intention of letting Cui Lichuan and the two of them enter the palace was to let them investigate to see if there were any clues to prove that it was really Concubine Zhuang, and then coerce her to see if there was an antidote, as for whether she wanted her life, I didn't think much about it at the time, but after Cui Li left, he knew her identity from Yu Die'er's dream words, and confirmed that she was the person he wanted to find in Chao Sidu, at that time he decided not to keep Concubine Zhuang, and he didn't need evidence, he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let go of one, who let her not move her own woman with long eyes。

As long as he has himself in one day, no one is allowed to infringe on Fluttershy at all, no matter who it is, if she moves, there will be only death, he has long known that Fluttershy is his own scale, how can he tolerate the bullying of others, even when he thought he was just similar in appearance, when he was unsure, he couldn't do anything about her, and he was always concerned about her, at that time this feeling made him frightened, afraid that he had become inattentive, and now that he thinks about it, it must be caused by his mind!

He was silent for a while, opened the door of the study, ordered the dining room to prepare some wine and food, and called a few little eunuchs to wait in the room, and poured himself a drink, so that someone could witness that he did not go out at this hour, but only stayed in Haoyuezhai, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble after the incident. If he is as smart as he is, how can he not leave himself out?

Concubine Zhuang has to enter a bowl of tonic soup every night, how many years of habit, tonight as usual, when the hour comes, the maid who delivers the soup enters the concubine's dormitory lightly as usual, and the maid just stepped into the palace door less than a moment, and there was a scream!

"Ahh Standing under the porch and shouting: "Quick, come on, there is an assassin!

The shrill and piercing shouts pierced the night sky and spread far away, so startled that lights were lit everywhere, followed by the sound of panicked doors opening everywhere, and then people rushed out from different directions and different doors at the same time. There are those in the main palace and those in the adjacent palaces, all of whom flock to the Timki Palace.

The guards who were patrolling not far away also heard the sound, but there was still the shadow of the assassin, only the faint sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

The emperor was asleep, the little eunuch hurriedly came to report, he hurriedly got up and changed clothes, the inner guards escorted Luan, rushed to Tianxi Palace, on the way to the little eunuch to seal the harem, close the six palace gates, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace without a holy decree, so as not to escape the assassins.

The queen, the queen mother, and several concubines who were close to the palace also rushed to hear the news, and the news of the assassination of the concubine made everyone who knew panic for a while, after all, the murderer didn't know who it was, and no one knew where he was hiding before he was caught, so it was related to everyone's personal safety.

Everyone arrived at Tianxi Palace, and listened to the maid who delivered the soup to tell the whole story, and the emperor ordered: "The servant of the Punishment Department quickly entered the palace, cooperated with the Sentencing Department to find out the case, and the Ouchi guards led the forbidden army to search the whole palace carefully and arrest the assassin." In addition, the whole city was under martial law to search for the murderer. "The herald went down. The emperor said to Duke Yu beside him with a gloomy face: "Fuzi, you go to Prince Hui's mansion for a trip, inform Prince Hui of this news, and persuade the prince to mourn and change on my beneficial." "Father-in-law Yu understood that the matter was big, so he went cautiously.

The emperor's expression is gloomy, this palace is so unpeaceful, there have been many assassination incidents recently, the last time there were assassins at the banquet of the second prince, and now the concubine was inexplicably assassinated. And the last incident has not been found to be ugly until now, where is his face good?

The faces of the people present were also not good, after all, there were two dead people lying in this room, and the smell in the air was the most terrible smell of blood, which made everyone change their faces instantly as soon as they arrived here.

There is the timid one, it has long been silent, a corpse lying on the ground, it is the maid of the night watch, the body of Concubine Zhuang is on the bed, in order to maintain the scene, the servants did not dare to move, the posture and position of the two corpses are kept as they were when they died, only waiting for the criminal officer to come and test.

After a cup of tea, the person in charge of the Sentencing Division hurriedly came with someone, and after some inspection, he said: "Your Majesty, the servant has been checked, the servant girl was killed by a hidden weapon poison dart, it should be shot from a distance, it is speculated that the assassin should have killed the maid first, and only after the maid was killed did the assassin enter the house, go to the bed, and then kill the concubine Niangniang." ”

"On the bed?" the emperor frowned, "Since the servant girl was shot with a secret weapon, if you want to kill the concubine, why don't you also use this method, but instead enter the house and stab on the bed?"
