"The Empress Dowager, it's out in the water."

Although the doors and windows of the inner hall were closed, the sound from outside would still come in, and the Empress Dowager on the phoenix couch had already woken up.

Elderly people don't sleep well, especially in recent years, the Empress Dowager can only sleep two or three hours a night, and almost every day she wakes up before dawn.

The Tai Hospital prepared a decoction for sleeping, and the old Duchess also made eye-promoting spices and sent them to the palace, but whether it was a decoction or spices, the Empress Dowager only used them once and abandoned them.

This could indeed make her sleep peacefully until dawn, but it also prevented her from waking up halfway through, and slept as if she were dead.

So she would rather have insomnia every night than use these decoctions and spices, she would not allow herself to be killed in her sleep, she was deaf and clear, her body was still healthy and strong, her mind was still clear and sharp, and she could live a long life.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were wide open, but she did not get up.

Just now she vaguely heard someone outside shouting "catch the assassin", did someone enter the palace to assassinate?

Interestingly, after so many years, it was the first time someone had stabbed her.

"A'e, go and see, who wants to make a noise and set fire, it's interesting, how can the fire in my Chaoyang Palace burn so easily."

The woman called A'e answered, she walked through the veil, pushed the door out, and behind her, the door closed again, and there was no crack in the door, and it was in close contact with the wall next to it, and on this wall hung a huge round screen of Wufu Shou wood carving, and that door was the round screen.

A'e walked lightly, and there were panicked palace maids running past her, and A'e didn't even look at them.

In front of it is the inner hall where the Empress Dowager lives, and A'e can't wait to see what is going on there.

A little palace maid staggered over, obviously frightened.

A'e glanced at her, her brows moved slightly, and the next moment, her hand grabbed the little palace maid, and the little palace maid was caught off guard and was grabbed by her shoulder.

"You're not from Chaoyang Palace?"

A'e's voice was low and hoarse, not a woman's voice, and it was different from the eunuch's, the little palace maid was startled, and opened her mouth wide in fright, but she couldn't say a word.

A'e narrowed her eyes slightly, and her other hand grabbed the little palace maid's neck, and then she let go of her hand, and the little palace maid's body fell softly.

A'e didn't stop, kicked away the body of the little palace maid, and continued to walk forward.

In the entire harem, Chaoyang Palace has the most maids, and A'e is actually not sure whether the little palace maid is from Chaoyang Palace, but although the little palace maid is flustered, her hair is combed neatly, which makes her suspicious.

Regardless of whether there is a problem with the little palace maid, it is to kill it.

In Chaoyang Palace, there has never been the word "wrongful killing".

A sneer appeared on the corner of A'e's mouth, and she believed that the same was true of the person in the inner sanctum.

The inner hall is where the Empress Dowager lives, with a nine-fold bead curtain and a full of pearls, which is the most luxurious place in the harem, but the Empress Dowager has not spent the night there for at least 20 years.

This is the secret of the harem and the secret of the Chaoyang Palace.

The sound outside had already come in, and when Ah E walked in, the nine-fold bead curtain had been lifted to both sides, revealing a road leading directly to the queen mother's phoenix couch.

Behind each heavy pearl curtain is a night pearl, wrapped in a brocade bag, which has not been opened for many years.

Ah E walked through the heavy bead curtain, untied the ribbon on the brocade bag, and one by one the brocade bag fell onto the Persian carpet, and nine huge night pearls illuminated the road as bright as day.

At the end of the road is the same jeweled phoenix couch, on which is hung a tent made of southern pearls, outside the bead tent, there is a grandmother standing in each place, they look solemn, looking at A'e who is walking slowly.

"You're here." Mama He said.

A'e nodded and said, "No one has come in yet." ”

Her tone was a little regretful, yes, it was a stabbing and a fire, and she thought that this son had rushed in.

Mama He said: "You killed someone on the way here?" ”

A'e sneered: "So what? ”

Mama He said, "Who did you kill?" ”

"A little palace maid, seven or eight years old." A'e didn't care.

The grandmother standing on the other side snorted coldly and said: "At this age, there are four of them in Chaoyang Palace, two are by the side of Princess An, and the other two are rough, they will not come to the dormitory, you can meet them on the road, it is clear that you are deceived into temptation, who asked you to kill her, you have been tricked." ”

Ah E was furious and shouted in a low voice to the grandmother: "That is to be an accomplice with the assassin, I did not kill the mistake, besides, even if I kill the wrong one, in this palace, when will it be the turn of the two of you to talk about my affairs?" ”

The grandmother still wanted to accuse, but was stopped by Mama He with her eyes, and suddenly, Mama He frowned, as if she remembered something.

That grandmother's name is Osmanthus, and she entered the palace in the same year as He Mama, and the two are like sisters.

Mama He's expression did not escape Mama Gui's eyes, and she asked, "Ah He, what's wrong?" ”

Mama He's eyes rolled slightly, tonight's incident, eight or nine times out of ten, had something to do with the little girl sent by the Xiao family, and she regretted it a little.

She raised her legs and walked out, and A'e stretched out her hand to stop her: "You are not waiting here, where are you going?" ”

Mama He raised her hand and brushed away A'e's hand, and said coldly: "Aren't you worried about turning the tiger away from the mountain?" ”

A'e glared at her fiercely, turned around and walked out: "You two stay here honestly, you don't have to worry about anything else!" ”

The little palace maid who was strangled to death by her, the palace man who ran in a panic on the road when she came.

A'e sighed in her heart, although she had a hard mouth, but what Mama Gui said still made her heart hang.

The assassin who came suddenly, inexplicably walked through the water, and it was impossible for the little palace maid to appear in the dormitory.

As soon as she walked out of the inner hall, she saw several guards walking around the door, and when she saw her coming out, she hurriedly asked, "Mama, is the Empress Dowager safe?" ”

"Hmm." A'e nodded, she had seen these guards when she came in just now, even if she walked into the water, she was not allowed to break into the inner hall without an order.

"Please rest assured, the fire has been extinguished, and there is no major problem, but the curtains of the main hall have been burned by the fire candles." The head of the guards said, of course the truth will not be so simple, this is Chaoyang Palace, how can the curtain be said to burn, but the murderer of the arson has not been caught, they can only say this, otherwise it will be a big crime to disturb the empress dowager.

Ah E was annoyed, but was stopped by the guard and said a bunch of useless words, but these words were very important, she had to listen, and finally the head of the guard finished reporting, Ah E didn't even give her a corner of the eye, and hurried away in the direction where she came.
