The man clenched her hand, the temperature of the palm soothed her, and Xu Wan'er gradually calmed down.

She was emotionally fluctuating, fearless, knowing that her father would protect her no matter what.

But I also know that she was found to be a concubine but had an affair with a foreign man, and now she has not succeeded in becoming a king, I am afraid that she will die!

"As the deputy leader of the Praetorian Guard, I belonged to His Majesty's command early, but His Majesty's most trusted leader is the leader of the Praetorian Guard, and he is afraid that he is a little suspicious of me!

At this time, I don't know if there are assassins, it's hard to say, but I have to go, Wan'er must be careful! ”

"I'm afraid it's too late for you to go back now, just let the palace be in chaos, or there will be assassins later, and I'm afraid that they will censor who leaves while patrolling!"

To draw away the eyes of many people, even the emperor! ”

Zheng Ruoyi's voice and appearance flashed in her mind, and the dark light in Xu Wan'er's eyes was uncertain.

The man's brows furrowed, and when he heard the knock on the door outside, he still reluctantly pressed his panic.

I saw Xu Wan'er turn around and come out quickly, in the dim light, she had a distorted and cold smile on her face.

Zheng Ruoyi's uncontrollable rejection and disgusting appearance covering her mouth gradually turned into pieces.

She handed the burden to the anxious man, her voice soft, but like a poisonous snake spitting letters.

"Put this in the Qingyin Pavilion."

"Wan'er, I should return to my duty post as soon as possible now, otherwise it will be really dangerous!"

The man lowered his voice and said anxiously.

Xu Wan'er shook her head, looking at the man's handsome face faintly visible in the dark, with a tender to sickly love in her eyes.

"Put this in Qingyin Pavilion, it's okay at this time, and after this time, you won't be investigated for a while.

Later, let your people solve the suspicious people secretly, and they will all be unaware! ”

The man wanted to say something more, Xu Wan'er smiled and looked crazy, "Xie Lang, you don't believe me?!" ”

Seeing that her voice was raised and she was about to start going crazy again, the man didn't dare to disobey her, so he quickly nodded and took it, turned around and left through the window.

Then a dark shadow vanished under the cover of the night.

The maid came in from outside, looked at her, stepped forward and carefully closed the window, and heard the woman's low laugh.

A chill ran down her spine, and the tearing pain in her body made her clench her teeth.

Hearing the sound outside, Zheng Ruoyi was already sleeping a little unsteadily, and always felt that the strong aroma of Concubine Xu was still in her nose.

The sound of banging on the door again sounded rudely, and she simply got up in distraught.

Qinglan had already put on her coat, and when she saw the little lord coming out, she hurriedly picked up the cloak and put it on her.

"Little lord, it's the Praetorian Guards who said that there may be assassins in the palace, so they have to be reviewed by each palace and hall one by one.

It is necessary to search for any assassins to ensure the safety of all the little masters, this is your Majesty's order! ”

Xiao Lin outside the house said in a slightly shrill voice.

As soon as she heard that there was a foreign man, Zheng Ruoyi lifted her cloak, and Qinglan understood that she picked up a slightly thicker dress and put it on her, and it was too late to pull up her hair.

Walking out of the outer room, Qinglan stepped forward to open the door and went to the courtyard together, Bishui put on his clothes in a panic and was behind the master together.

I saw a burly man in silver-white armor striding in, followed by a group of Praetorian Guards.

The leader bowed his hand to Zheng Ruoyi, Zheng Ruoyi hurriedly turned to one side to avoid it, and then bowed his head slightly.

Soon a couple of people passed by them, and they checked each house one by one, even the house where Zheng Ruoyi was.

Bishui raised her hand and wanted to step forward to stop her, but Qinglan grabbed her.

This is an order from His Majesty, not to mention their little master, and the other mothers must also check it, otherwise it will be disobeying the holy decree!

Bi Shui stomped his feet and stepped back under Zheng Ruoyi's warning eyes.

A moment later, the leader came out with a pair of people, but he did not leave in a hurry.

Zheng Ruoyi's heart jumped, and she said in a calm voice:

When it was time to lock down, the people of Qingyin Pavilion went back to the house separately, and no one opened the door or entered.

So no Assassin would be hiding here. ”

Seeing the leader of the Praetorian Guard nodding, Zheng Ruoyi breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, in the dim moonlight, he saw that the leader of the Praetorian Guard looked indifferent, his eyes scrutinized, and he said coldly:

"I didn't find the assassin, but I found it!"

Zheng Ruoyi's heart was beating, and Qinglan also looked at it with a huge change in expression.

Bi Shui didn't know what was going on, but he was also frightened, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were ranked there knelt down directly.

This is the Praetorian Guard directly under His Majesty, so even if you don't see what happened, you know that this is a big deal!

There was a slight pain in her lower abdomen, and Zheng Ruoyi's expression was slightly pale.

She looked at the leader of the Praetorian Guard, gave orders to his subordinates, and the two of them were ordered to go out.

She knew that she was going to invite His Majesty to come, and she didn't know what was going on!

In Zheng Ruoyi's panic, she was guarded by the Praetorian Guards and had no choice but to go to the main hall.

Immediately, the lights were bright, and the eunuch's sharp voice was even more piercing in the dark night, which made the people in Qingyin Pavilion even more frightened.

Especially the successive proclamations.

"Your Majesty has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! The concubine has arrived, and the virtuous concubine has arrived. ”

Zheng Ruoyi clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and she faced the door of the main hall with the door wide open, guarded by the Praetorian Guards outside.

When she heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming in, she stiffened and froze in place.

As soon as someone came in, she knelt on her knees with a "bang", not caring about the pain in her knees, she said: "Concubine, meet Your Majesty, Queen Mother!" ”

Qinglan, Bishui and Xiaolinzi are all kneeling and kowtowing.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard fell to his knees under the Emperor's cold gaze, and soon his men held black trays and placed the searched items in front of the Emperor.

The empress, who was one step behind Emperor Qianyuan, changed her expression greatly, and saw a few pieces of extremely inferior white rags on it.

and a few little puppeteers that are already a little rudimentary.

Some of them have been wrapped in a white cloth.

"Witch Gu?!"

The queen shouted.

Zheng Ruoyi's pupils shrank sharply, and her mind changed dramatically, she only felt that her eyes were dark, and she shouted in panic:

"Your Majesty! The concubine is wronged! The concubine had never seen any of these things! ”

Qinglan's expression changed greatly, her eyes were full of shock, and then she was about to shout when she saw Bishui again, so she quickly grabbed her hand and shook her head vigorously.

At this time, Zheng Ruoyi knelt on the cold floor and knelt towards Emperor Qianyuan, who looked tense, her pale little face was full of horror.

"Your Majesty! The concubine is wronged! Your Majesty, please be wise! ”

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the hem of Emperor Qianyuan's clothes, but she froze in the air.

Kneeling like this, with a pale face, eyes full of panic, and tears, it is extremely pitiful, and I feel sorry for it.

Emperor Qianyuan stood in place, and was about to say something, when a little footstep came.

I saw that Concubine Xu was supported by the palace maid and walked in step by step, and she saluted respectfully.

Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand impatiently.

At this time, Concubine He and Concubine Fang Xian were as quiet as chickens, and they didn't dare to make a sound at all.

Only the queen asked, "Concubine Xu, what are you doing here?" ”

Concubine Xu's face was pale, her eyebrows and eyes were condensed with a sickly aura, and before she could speak, she let out a few weak coughs.

"The concubine's residence is not far from Qingyin Pavilion, listening to what seems to be happening here, I was worried about whether Concubine Zheng who lived here would have an accident, so I brought a few people to take a look, so I could help something."

As she spoke, her face was full of worry, and then she was a little afraid, as if she understood that she had come to make trouble.
