Chapter 5: The Assassins
"The five princesses are burned like this, none of you know, are they all dead?"
"Princess, the princess never said that the slave really doesn't know."
"If the princess doesn't say that you don't know, then what do you want to serve? In my opinion, all of them have to call me to the Criminal Division. Chi Chi woke up in this kind of noise, as soon as she woke up, the grandmother in front of her reacted, and hurriedly came to the front,
"How does the princess feel? The medicine of the imperial doctor is already decoction, and after drinking it for a while, the medicine will be cured. "Who is this man, and he shrank into the quilt.
And the grandmother said,
"Don't be afraid, princess, the old slave was sent by the queen to take care of the princess, and I saw it when I came here, none of the people under this place spoke like that, and they couldn't serve the princess well at all." Ah Hao and Ah Xiu pounced and jumped to the end of the bed.
"Princess, Princess, Help." The more this is the case, the more it will make this grandmother feel that these two people are loyal to her.
I don't know why the fourth princess didn't say anything to the queen, but made the queen's people feel that the people around her were their own people.
But also, before coming out, the umbrella stall, I'm afraid I won't believe them anymore. Maybe you should think that this is a bureau set up by the master and servants.
Chi Chi looked at the grandmother with red eyes,
"Although they are sometimes careless, I still hope that Mama will bypass them for the sake of them taking care of me for many years." All I want is to take care of you for many years.
The grandmother didn't lift up her eyelids,
"It is precisely because of this that such a close person cannot serve the princess well, and the people below do not know how to be powerful. The princess has a good rest, and such a trivial matter is left to the old slave. Chi Chi coughed again, no longer bothered to pretend,
"I'm dizzy."
"Sleep, princess, and everything will be fine when you wake up." Of course it's good to wake up, there has been a big blood change in Jinyang Palace, and basically none of the people who were originally serving remained, only the two little eunuchs on the outermost side were left, and all the people next to them were replaced by the queen's people.
For Chi Chi, it's not much worse, but her mother doesn't treat her concubine badly, no matter how she says it, she can be called a princess.
The living conditions have finally improved, and I even thought that it was good to live half-dead like this, at least I was well fed and clothed.
But after her body was completely recovered, a month had passed, and it was time to go to the cold palace to see Concubine Jing.
In the past month, it has not only been because of her poor health. is even more because the queen took over Jinyang Palace, and the four princesses have never come to make trouble.
Chi Chi took the new little maid Ace to the cold palace, Ace's expression was cold, but he just stopped outside the door, and lifted his eyelids,
"Princess, go in by yourself." No one in the cold palace likes to enter, but I didn't expect that the people in the queen's palace would be relieved that she would enter alone.
Concubine Jing is in a very good state today, she didn't shout and kill, she just sat quietly combing her hair, and she hummed softly in her mouth, like a minor tune from Jiangnan.
Chi Chi took her comb and stood behind her to comb her hair,
"Mother, I have cleaned up all the people that Concubine Yu left by my side." She smiled wryly,
"It's a pity that they have all been replaced by the queen's people." Concubine Jing hummed for a moment,
"Delayed?"
"It's me." Concubine Jing looked at herself in the mirror blankly, the mirror had not been wiped for many years, and she couldn't see it clearly.
"Don't be afraid, the mother will protect you." His hand stopped, and he fell on her shoulder and wept,
"Don't be afraid, concubine, I will definitely save you out." For Chi Chi, the last thing she wants is to be alone, even if she is a soul from a foreign land, but she also has a mother here.
Concubine Jing was coaxed to sleep, sat on her bed for a long time and was stunned, looking at Concubine Jing's face that was close to withering, she thought of a lot of methods, just like writing a novel, and tried to think about it step by step.
As long as she waits patiently, she will definitely pick her up. As soon as the window slammed, he turned his head sharply,
"Who?" Silently. Got up slowly, and walked towards the wind-blown curtain,
"Who's who, where?" Suddenly, her arm was tugged, and she threw herself forward, and then she smelled a strong smell of blood.
The cold touch fell on her neck, and the whole person froze, and the person's voice was hoarse,
"If you don't want to die, don't talk, and don't scream." Assassin? Slow down his eyes,
"Who are you? This is the Forbidden Palace. "The knife is an inch in, and it almost cuts through the oily skin that has been delayed,
"Tell you not to speak." Holding his breath for a long time, the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside,
"But this way?"
"Don't go in, do you?"
"Go in and search." Slowly, he grabbed the man's hand,
"If you want to live, don't move. I have a way to save you. "Sometimes people can't control their desire to gamble that you will be the unexpected protagonist of my story.
The man did not move, but stood up slowly, piled the rags in the corner on him, and made a gesture not to speak.
He sat back beside Concubine Jing. The man quickly broke in, and stood up slowly,
"Presumptuous, what kind of place is this, and you can break into it at will?" There were people in the cold palace, and the people who broke in were stunned for a moment.
After a long time, I found out that they were all dark blue official robes, and they were all from Dongchang. Her palms were sweaty, and these eunuchs were the most difficult people to deal with.
As they spoke, everyone moved out of the way, and they heard someone call softly
"Stall". When she looked up, it turned out to be the little eunuch who gave her an umbrella that day. His back was straight, and the whole person was as warm as a spring breeze, and he lightly slapped his sleeves to salute Chi Chi.
"Greeting the master, it's really the people below who have no sense of proportion, which disturbs the master." He raised his eyes to see that he was late, and there was a cold frost under his eyes that he couldn't see through for a long time,
"Only the slave is chasing the villain so far, I don't know if the master can see it?" He's not easy to deceive, he may have smelled the blood here, maybe he's just trying.
Slow down the drums in my heart,
"Indeed, I have seen thieves." Cao Ting's eyes drooped more and more, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth,
"That's a coincidence, where did the master look at the people?" Pointing to the window where the assassin had entered,
"He swept away by the window, almost startling my mother." Cao Tingyue glanced at the window, nodded casually, and didn't say that he believed it or didn't believe it, just waved his sleeves,
"Let's all go outside and wait." The people in Dongchang glanced at each other, didn't dare to refute him, and honestly retreated. There were only Cao Tingyu and Chi Chi left in the room, as well as Concubine Jing, who was sleeping very deeply, and the assassin who was huddled in the corner.
"The slave thinks that Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess should be a smart person." He knows it all. He found out.
