Chapter 106: The Muppets
Fluttershy arrives in the study, which is empty. She crouched down, fumbling for the bricks at the bottom. In the corner of the wall, I felt a brick that had been loosened.
Fluttershy quickly pulls out the bricks. Something was supposed to be a brick in it.
Fluttershy quickly takes it out. It's soft, and there's something very sharp.
When she takes it out, Fluttershy is shocked that it's a ragdoll used for curses. With a dragon robe, isn't it the emperor? On the back of the puppet is the eight characters of birth.
Fluttershy doesn't know the emperor's birthday, but judging by the year, it is the right age for the current emperor. She quickly recovered from her shock.
The art of witchcraft is a taboo in Daning, and even ordinary people are to go to prison. It is the emperor who curses, but the sin of the nine clans.
"It's good to find it, otherwise the prince will be unlucky." Fluttershy quickly stands up and walks out with the puppet.
As soon as she stepped out of the doorway, a cold sword landed on Fluttershy's neck.
"Hand over what you have in your hand."
The low, cold voice sends Fluttershy shudder. The terrible thing clings to the neck, and the slightest movement will cut through the flesh.
The man stands behind Fluttershy to the left. Fluttershy wants to know who it is, but can't look back.
Seeing that Fluttershy was motionless, the man moved his sword and said in a murderous voice, "Hand it over, I won't kill you." ”
Fluttershy hesitates, but gritted her teeth and lifts the puppet up.
The man takes the puppet and punches Fluttershy on the back of the neck.
Fluttershy loses her instincts and falls to the ground.
The moonlight shone down and shone on the man's face, it was Su Rin.
When Fluttershy wakes up, it's almost dawn. There was not a single figure around. She felt some pain in the back of her neck, so she clutched the spot and stood up.
Dizzy and dizzy, my whole body was frozen through.
"It's good it didn't snow, otherwise I would have froze to death." Fluttershy feels like she's survived.
However, after freezing for so long, I can't get seriously ill.
Before dawn, Fluttershy rubs her frozen legs and leaves Chunhui Courtyard.
Back to where I lived, in that cramped room. Fluttershy quickly wraps herself in the covers. That kind of cold that freezes from head to toe is fully reflected.
Fluttershy doesn't think it's useful to be wrapped in a quilt, and she shiveres with cold.
It was getting brighter, and there was movement outside. Mei'er, who lives next door, comes to Fluttershy and sees that her lips are white and her face is very bad, so she helps her take a leave of absence and secretly cooks her a bowl of ginger soup.
Fluttershy drinks the ginger soup in one gulp, and her body slowly warms up.
"It seems good to be able to lie in the house for a day without working." Fluttershy mutters to herself.
However, Fluttershy can't get a good night's sleep or a good night's sleep. All she could think about was last night.
The puppet was snatched away, who the hell was it? Fluttershy thinks it must be someone from the palace.
The puppet was secretly put into Chunhui Courtyard.
Concubine De's eyeliner inquired about the news that Yun Muqing's people secretly put something in Chunhui Courtyard. And this thing can put Yun Chuhan to death.
Fluttershy finds the puppet and burns it so that nothing will happen. Otherwise, this thing is a hidden danger hidden in the Chu Palace.
Yun Muqing will be in trouble sooner or later. As for what he will do, it is unknown.
But where is the puppet? Who the hell is that person?
Fluttershy lies on the bed tossing and turning. She decided to go to Chunhui Courtyard again tonight.
What if I meet that person outside? Fluttershy subconsciously touches her neck. Last night's situation made her body tremble.
No, I can't ignore Concubine De's order. Let's check it out tonight.
Fluttershy thinks she's lucky, thanks to the bowl of ginger soup that Mei'er delivers.
It's night.
Fluttershy snuck into Chunhui once more. This time, she carefully watched the movements around her, lest someone suddenly appear and put the sword around her neck.
However, this time Fluttershy doesn't run into anyone. Of course, she didn't find the puppet either.
Fluttershy has found the main hall, bedroom, study, wings, and kitchen.
After looking for a long time, it was almost dawn. Fluttershy leaves the courtyard.
She pretended to be sick and lay in bed and took another day off. The other maids go to work, leaving Fluttershy alone.
After much thought, Fluttershy decides to tell Concubine De about the puppet. She got out of bed, took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote down what had happened the night before and last night, and then flew the pigeon to pass the book.
As the pigeon flies away, Fluttershy closes the window with confidence.
In fact, she used to fly pigeons at night to pass books.
This time, Fluttershy ventures to fly the pigeon during the day because she fears that if the person keeps an eye on her, she will shoot the pigeon down at night.
Unbeknownst to Fluttershy, the carrier pigeon was caught by Su Rin after it flew out of the Chu Palace. He took down the note and let the pigeon go.
Su Rin returned to the small courtyard, opened the note, saw the dense words on it, sneered, and then folded it again and put it away.
Su Rin stops the pigeon, thinking that this will cut off Fluttershy's communication with the outside world.
Unbeknownst to her, Fluttershy releases the pigeon, closes the doors and windows, and secretly writes another note in the house.
The above is that the Muppets are unharmed.
When Fluttershy finishes writing, she flies the pigeon again. She used another pigeon that looked different.
As the carrier pigeon flies away and disappears from sight, Fluttershy breathes a sigh of relief, closes the window, and goes to bed.
Subsequently, the carrier pigeon flew through several streets and into King Mu's mansion. It flew into the Langyue Pavilion and happened to be seen by Feilian.
Fei Lian held out his hand. The carrier pigeon landed in Feilian's hand.
***
Muwang's Mansion.
Yun Muqing walked in and sat down straight, he waved his hand with an impatient expression.
Seeing this, the maids hurriedly withdrew. Only the late peach remains.
"Lord Wang, what's wrong?" When Gu Jingyue saw Yun Muqing's appearance, she knew that there must be something else, and it must have something to do with Yun Chuhan.
"Yun Chuhan caught the person who spread rumors. Tomorrow at noon, the vegetable market mouth asked. Five or six people. After Yun Muqing finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.
Gu Jingyue's face was expressionless, and she seemed to disagree: "As long as you don't touch King Mu's Mansion, let alone five or six people, even if you have fifteen or sixteen ghosts for the dead, what can you do?" ”
Yun Muqing smiled bitterly: "Do you think this king feels sorry for those ghosts who are substituted for death?" ”
Gu Jingyue looked at Yun Muqing, smiled faintly, and said, "Lord Wang, the emperor is sick, what is the cause?" ”
Yun Muqing understood what Gu Jingyue meant: "Tomorrow, the mage will pass." The queen mother tried her best to persuade her father. ”
Gu Jingyue nodded, stood up, and her expression became solemn: "If it can be done, it will be creation." If it can't be done, it has nothing to do with the prince. ”
At this moment, a messenger maid walked in and said, "Lord Wang, Lord Feilian said that the guests are here." ”
"Got it." After Yun Muqing finished speaking, he stood up.
The maid withdrew.
"Situ Jing?" Gu Jingyue asked.
Yun Muqing patted Gu Jingyue's shoulder and said, "It's him." ”
Gu Jingyue frowned and said, "Lord Wang, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable. Even if Situ Jing had helped the prince pay attention before. The prince should also be on guard. After all, he came from an unknown source.
"Don't worry." After speaking, Yun Muqing walked out.
Looking at the slightly swaying door curtain, Gu Jingyue felt like a boulder was pressed in her heart.
Five or six human lives, that's a living person! How could you say that kind of thing?
Actually, Gu Jingyue understood in her heart, because of Yun Muqing. Yun Muqing likes women who are smart and can give him advice, rather than jealous all day long.
Wan Tao stood behind Gu Jingyue and didn't say a word.
What Gu Jingyue said just now made Wan Tao feel very scared.
Gu Jingyue sat down, sighed, and said casually: "Qiaoxin hasn't returned yet." ”
When Wan Tao heard this, she hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the slave thinks that Qiaoxin will not come back." ”
But the letter she left said she would definitely come back. It's just that there are things to do. Gu Jingyue said lightly, without the slightest hint of anger.
Yun Muqing returned to Langyue Pavilion, and Situ Jing was already waiting there.
"Are those ghosts talking nonsense?" Yun Muqing asked.
"Don't worry, the prince is very strict, and they won't say a word nonsense. I dare to vouch for my life. ”
Hearing Situ Jing say this, Yun Muqing's heart was a little more steady.
"What's more, if they talk nonsense, they won't wait until now." Situ Jing added.
However, if they don't die for a day, Yun Muqing can't be completely relieved. After all, the closer you get to death, the more you will be afraid.
"Don't send them on their way early." Yun Muqing's eyes showed murderous intent.
Situ Jing hurriedly shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, don't do it, it will make people suspicious!" Their families are in my hands. ”
With such a sentence, Yun Muqing understood.
"Then the king will believe you. Situ Jing, as long as you do your best. In the future, when this king ascends to the throne, you will be the prime minister. Under one man, above ten thousand. Yun Muqing said.
Situ Jing hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”
Yun Muqing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Get up." This king has something to consult with you. ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Situ Jing quickly stood up.
Yun Muqing told Situ Jing about the night before when Tao sneaked into Chunhui Courtyard.
"Are you sure that the puppet is still in Chunhui Courtyard?" Situ Jing asked, he didn't expect this kind and virtuous Gu Jingyue to have such an idea.
Yun Muqing nodded and said, "It's true." ”
Situ Jing showed a meaningful smile: "Lord Wang, the night is long and dreams are many." ”
"The queen mother's side is ready. It can only be said that it was really time for my father to be sick. ”
Situ Jing hurriedly asked, "What does the prince need to do?" ”
Yun Muqing's gaze suddenly became sharp: "Situ Jing, this king needs to borrow your ghost thorn." ”
Yun Muqing knew that the ghost assassin was strong in martial arts. He didn't really hope to borrow someone else's hand to kill Yun Chuhan, so he was afraid of accidents. He has to strike first.
