Chapter 121: Assassination

Not a day. It's not yet dawn. The palace began to blow and blow. I heard that the entire Imperial Forest Army has been transferred to the former court guards. In the harem, only the female officials of the division room took the place of the Imperial Guard. But in this harem. It's been depressed for a long time. All the concubines who had no heirs were sent to the Taihe Palace. There are only two princes in this palace. One was born to the Queen Mother. One was born to a deceased concubine. Otherwise. No more Dragonborn. It's no wonder that the emperor hated the queen mother so much. Because of her existence. Unexpectedly, once a son of heaven. There are not as many children as there are families.

This kind of scene. I, a "deceased" person, could not go to the ceremony. Red Sleeves must have known that he was going to move the palace for a long time. I started to clean up silently in the morning. Jewelry. Clothings. It's all neatly placed in a mahogany box. It is also locked with a copper lock. The eight-tailed phoenix hairpin given by the emperor was also locked in. The only thing that fits into the bag is a few of my personal belongings.

I don't know what kind of mood I should use to face Red Sleeves. It's like I didn't know how to deal with Zhao Di after Tana left. I can't say if it's a betrayal. But the taste of being deceived is not pleasant after all.

". In another hour. The new emperor's enthronement ceremony. Someone will come and pick us up. Niang Niang got up early today. Let's eat something." Red Sleeves handed me a bowl of lotus seed soup in front of me. Served with hibiscus crisp. It looks beautiful and delicious. But I don't have much appetite.

Zhao Di and Mo Xi have been away from me for almost a day. Especially Moxi. From the time I woke up to the present. Never left her half a step. In her heart, she has long been like a relative. It can even be said to be the backbone of my spirit sometimes. Now she's gone. The whole heart is empty. An indescribable taste.

I waved my hand. Dao." Let's bring the embroidery work of Moxi with you. Let Hongu have a thought." Because of today's special circumstances. It's not good to dress up too much. I only wore a moon-white dress. It has uneven dark flower reliefs. Low-key but also sophisticated. The hair is nothing more than a jasper hairpin that is pulled up at will. The rest were scattered behind him. It's like a waterfall.

Redsleeves nodded. So I went to the sewing basket and cleaned it up. I suddenly remembered that Zhao Di said that I embroidered a soothing purse. I hurriedly went to the dresser and looked for it. See the purse. But my heart is full of mixed feelings. Taste. The purse is embroidered with three competing magnolias. Lifelike. There are big and small. It also smells of magnolia flowers. but it is not made of incense.

Presumably. This embroidery thread is soaked in magnolia flower water repeatedly after drying. in order to be contaminated with such a strong fragrance. But one day I mentioned it casually. Say that every day headache if there is a magnolia sachet to smell. It can also soothe a thing or two. Zhao Di took it to heart. This girl. I'm not good to her. But after entering the palace. She never let me down.

Just put down the spoon in your hand. Outside the summons said that a father-in-law asked to see him. I thought it was someone who came to pick me up. Let the red cuffs bring him in. But. See that face. I was shocked together. Raise your hand and brush your sleeve to accidentally sweep the bowl and spoon to the ground. Smashed to pieces. Red Sleeves hurriedly cleaned up. I pointed at the person, but I couldn't say a word.

Navy blue eunuch palace clothes. A crown hat of the same color. Holding a cane in his hand to whisk the dust. Someone knelt down before me. The deep voice was different from the slightly shrill voices of the eunuchs of the past. Dao." The slave An Hai asked the mother to say goodbye."

"Free ...... Excuse me." I'm saying this. But his eyes were looking at the red sleeves. Red Sleeves received my target. Nodding his head. And he went out with the broken residues. The whole inner sanctum was left only with me and this eunuch named Anhai.

Anhai thanked him and stood up. But they were looking straight at me. Calm and emotionless.

But I'm messing around. There was a hint of tremor and uncertainty in his voice. asked. You...... You're Huo Shu."

Anhai heard me. Laugh at yourself. Dao." Back to the mother's words. Huo Shu had already died with his lady a year ago. Now standing in front of Niangniang is An Hai. It's not Huo Shu."

His words. Yes admitted. Didn't you say that Huo Shu was transferred to Shangsi Supervisor as a guard? Why does it seem that he has become a eunuch now? Is it because of me?

Meet like this. I didn't expect that. Originally, I was going to ask Ziqing to transfer Huo Shu out of Shangsi Supervisor and work as an errand by my side. After a while I'll let him out of the palace. How did it become like this now? It's a lot of heartache at the moment. I'm sorry Angelica Angelica. I'm even more sorry Huo Shu. For a moment, I felt the angina gradually surging up again. But I don't have time for anything else. Asked. You. What's going on with you. Zhi'er has gone. You've become like this again. Let my conscience be at peace."

Huo Shu heard this. Xu Zhi'er's two words stimulated him. There was finally a trace of emotional fluctuation in his calm eyes. He looked at me. The eyes are painful and struggling. There was a vicious tone. Dao." Niang Niang is a nobleman. The lives of the minions are worthless. The sissy can dispose of the minions at will. Why feel guilty."

Tell me before Moxi. Huo Shu let her go. Tell her. They don't resent me. But now it seems. But it's not like that. The hatred in Huo Shu's eyes was about to come out. I caught his gaze. Dao." HUO Shu. What grievances do you have to say out. I didn't expect Zhi'er to die. If you want revenge. I could have paid for it with my life."

"Hahaha......" he laughed. Tears in his eyes. Look at me but mock. Dao." Minions don't dare. Niangniang is a golden body. What's more. No matter what she does, Zhi'er won't survive." The first half of the sentence is a grit of teeth. The second half of the sentence made me cry too.

"Huo Shu. It's nothing if you hate me or hate me. But why did you do this......." I looked at him sadly. With a sense of guilt.

Huo Shu looked at me. I said those two words that I couldn't speak." Eunuch is it. This opportunity was given to me by the emperor. Otherwise, I wouldn't have survived to this day. Otherwise, how can I have a chance to avenge Zhi'er."

Finished speaking. His gaze was suddenly fierce. It's like a cold wind with two knives. In his hand he was holding a dagger that he had taken out of his arms. The wind rushed towards me like a bamboo. It's just between the swords and the flint. I haven't had time to dodge yet." Smack". But it was the sound of a dagger falling to the ground.

I looked at Huo Shu in horror. He glared at me with his aching wrist clutched. I looked at the dagger on the ground again. The opening that has not yet come. Then he heard a voice outside the door. Said in a playful tone. Yo. The second-rank guards with knives are nothing more than that."
