Chapter 72: First Awakening

In the depths of the night, Wan Jinyue returned to the familiar mansion again.

In the Vermilion Bird Palace, Emperor Jingming was only wearing a plain single clothes, and he was lying on the couch with his eyes closed and endured the pain. Lehe took the best Jinchuang medicine and gently smeared it on him.

The third man's subordinates did not get the news out smoothly, but they were still attacked, and the situation was far more complicated than imagined.

Who was it that could know his whereabouts and set up a chain on the way back to the city.

But if the third child intends to frame the second child, the fourth child may be injured by the third child.

But if there is a problem with the little guy under the third child, then the people behind this can involve his three sons.

In the National Teacher's Mansion, Mr. Zuo Fu carried the food box into Shen Tan's room.

"Happy cooperation, Mr. Zuofu."

Shen Tan raised his chopsticks and sandwiched the crystal clear crispy meat, which was quite a toast.

"I can complete the assassination that Emperor Dai Yun wants, I don't know what I want, can Emperor Dai Yun give it?"

"Just wait with peace of mind." There was a rare smile on Shen Tan's face.

Wan Jinyue, who couldn't rest well last night, fell asleep as soon as she returned home today.

The gold bracelet on her left wrist flashed slightly, and this time she saw her five-year-old self again, the little girl who was crying in pain in front of her mother's bed.

In just a few hours, she went through the past five years in her dream, the five years of being sensible and the rules, and the five years of coexisting with Yun Yuan.

Going to bed early and getting up late, Wan Jinyue woke up and felt very weak in her limbs, and there seemed to be thousands of threads entangled with each other in her mind.

For no reason, she remembered what Jiang Ziyue said a few days ago, her sister and the girl of the Wan family are at least eight points similar.

And when she first saw Wan Ziyang, she felt inexplicably close, as if she had been with him for a long time.

Is this inexplicable sense of closeness really just because Wan Ziyang is handsome?

-------------------------------------

Jiang Ziyue wore a night suit, and groped in King Cheng's mansion under the cover of the night.

In the courtyard of Jinning, the lights were just bright, Zhuo Baiqing was wearing a black robe and the peach-colored dress, she dotted the concierge in the Chengwang Mansion and successfully blended into the Chengwang Mansion.

Dancing under the moon and drinking flowers together, she was full of the pleasant scene of the talented and beautiful woman talking at night by the lake, but she didn't know that at the side door of the Chengwang Mansion, another innocent woman from a good family was going to die.

Tonight is King Cheng's twenty-first birthday.

According to the custom of Kundong, the prince will have a feast only for the whole life, and King Cheng's twenty-first birthday should be spent in the house with his wife and concubines.

I heard that King Cheng and Concubine Zheng had a very close relationship, and Zhuo Baiqing waited outside the Fanghua Courtyard where Princess Cheng Xiao Fang lived, but King Cheng did not appear for a long time.

Could it be that King Cheng also accompanied Jiang on his birthday? Zhuo Baiqing carefully groped in King Cheng's mansion, while Jiang Ziyue hid in the bushes of Jinning Courtyard early.

Is it King Cheng? Just now, Zhuo Baiqing was forced to hide in the rockery, and the bun on her head was torn a little crooked by the branches in a panic, but she saw King Cheng in a hurry by the moonlight.

He walked briskly alone, and his opportunity came. The guard has just walked by, and now it should be safe to go out, right?

Zhuo Baiqing carefully followed behind Queen Cheng and came all the way to Jinning Courtyard.

As soon as the person walked in, the courtyard door was immediately closed. miscalculated, Zhuo Baiqing listened to the sound of the door panel not far away, knowing that he couldn't enter this courtyard unless he climbed the wall.

Zhuo Baiqing is famous for her talent, but her riding and archery skills are not bad, at least she can still do things like climbing the courtyard wall.

No, such a good opportunity, can't be let go, Zhuo Baiqing quickly climbed over the courtyard wall and fell into the open space between the trees in Jinning Courtyard.

Luckily, there are no fallen leaves here, otherwise there would have been too much movement.

Jiang Ziyue saw this uninvited guest at a glance in the dark.

Zhuo Baiqing straightened her clothes, straightened her slightly crooked bun, and wanted to go up to the house with that small step.

A plain white hand suddenly covered her mouth, and the other held a dagger to her throat. "Don't make a sound, if you want to live."

Jiang Ziyue took Zhuo Baiqing and retreated gently, all the way to the dark place where the moonlight could not shine.

The woman's sharp cry came with the wind, and Zhuo Baiqing trembled unconsciously.

Is this voice because of King Cheng? That elegant King Cheng who looks like a scholar?

Jiang Ziyue slowly let go of the dagger and waited quietly. She was waiting for it all to end, she was waiting for the little guy at the scene to appear, and she wanted to know where the souls of these women had ended up.

The voice was louder and then hoarse, it was a desperate man crying for help.

"Don't run around later, follow me, otherwise if you are discovered, everyone will die."

Zhuo Baiqing held back her tears, turned her head to look at the masked woman in black, and nodded blankly.

When it was over, King Cheng's clothes were stained with blood, and he walked out of the house with a smile on his face.

Zhuo Baiqing, who was already shaking, uncontrollably touched the branch, and the yellow leaves on it fell, and King Cheng, who was supposed to walk out of the courtyard gate, stopped his steps and came in the direction where the two were hiding.

Now that learning to meow is a bit deliberate, Jiang Ziyue quietly took out the small paper bag hidden in her sleeve, and she sprinkled the chili noodles in her hand into Xiao Ji's eyes.

Hurriedly dragged Zhuo Baiqing and ran. Where can people be hidden? Jiang Ziyue ran wild like a headless fly. The guards who heard the sound followed closely behind the two of them.

"We will go separately, you go to the east, and I will go to the west."

Jiang Ziyue asked Zhuo Baiqing to go to the courtyard where King Cheng's only son lived, and she ran to the courtyard where she lived.

Leaning on the ladder by the courtyard wall, she entered the courtyard through the window, undressed, her hair was ruffled, and she used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads on her face in a panic.

Pepper flour, flour, daggers, short knives, night clothes, all these were hidden under the bed, and she pretended to sleep quietly in only her middle clothes.

There was a knock on the guard's door, and the drugged maid was still asleep.

One, two...... After more than ten knocks on the door, it was a little strange that he didn't react.

Jiang Ziyue put on her coat, yawned, and went to open the courtyard door.

"Is there something urgent in the house tonight?"

"Concubine Fang, there are thieves in the house, and the villain is ordered to search." The leader lowered his head in an orderly manner and replied, without looking directly at Jiang Ziyue's face.

"Let's go in, I'll wait in the courtyard, and call me after you search."

Jiang Ziyue gathered the clothes on her body and walked to the stone table in the courtyard, where she sat and waited quietly, but she was a little panicked in her heart.

Such a big movement, but no one in the courtyard woke up, after today, the maid here will be replaced again.

Zhuo Baiqing ran all the way east, not noticing the little boy who appeared at some point.

The boy grabbed Zhuo Baiqing's black robe and whispered, "Sister, come with me, and you'll be fine." ”

She followed the little boy into the dark room of the study, the secret place of the Cheng Palace.
