"Shen Tong, what am I going to do, can't you guess?"

"We're actually the same."

"What I'm going to do today should be done by you, but I dare to do it, you don't dare."

"Although the Mei family has fallen, the Mei family is still there, but your Shen family only has you, Shen Tong, instead of taking revenge, you are hiding in Xi'an to enjoy happiness, you are a coward!"

The suppressed and low sentences, sentence by sentence, were like sharp blades, stabbing Shen Tong's heart, but for some reason, she couldn't feel the pain.

Shen Tong laughed softly, Mei Shengxue said the same thing to her four years ago, and Mei Shengxue is still the same four years later.

Shen Tong suddenly didn't want to argue with her anymore, she interrupted the impassioned Mei Shengxue, and said: "There is a hidden steward named Deshan in the Protector's Mansion, his martial arts are very high, he is a eunuch, and he was also given by the Empress Dowager to the old protector Yang Feng, the Empress Dowager can easily give such a person to Yang Feng, it can be seen that there are stronger masters around her." ”

Mei Shengxue was stunned, why did Shen Tong mention this virtue?

No, of course Shen Tong wouldn't talk about this person for no reason, Shen Tong wanted to tell her that there were people around the Empress Dowager who were stronger than Deshan.

Shen Tong had already guessed that the purpose of her entering the palace was to assassinate the Empress Dowager.

"Shen Tong, are you helping me?"

Shen Tong smiled and didn't answer her question: "Mei Shengxue, you have never met King Qin, do you guess if King Qin knew that you were going to assassinate, would he agree?" ”

Without waiting for her to answer, Shen Tong said again: "I just know that King Qin will definitely not let me do this." ”

Like a basin of cold water poured on her head, Mei Shengxue was cold all over her body.

As far as she knew, Shen Tong had demonstrated his ability in front of King Qin, and his ability was worth two thousand taels of gold.

Even so, King Qin would not let Shen Tong do this.

Why?

You don't have to think deeply to guess, because no matter how capable Shen Tong is, she is just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl!

King Qin would not hand over the major matters related to the life and death of the Qin Palace's mansion to Shen Tong to do, so all along, what he asked Shen Tong to do was nothing more than to protect the county lord of Yining.

The reason why King Qin would not entrust Shen Tong with a heavy task was not only that he was worried that Shen Tong would not be able to kill the Empress Dowager, but more that Shen Tong would expose the Qin Palace!

Once it is known that the King of Qin sent someone to assassinate the Empress Dowager, then everything that the King of Qin had done before would be in vain.

Yu Gong, the Empress Dowager is the king, the King of Qin is the minister, and the minister kills the king for disloyalty; In private, the Empress Dowager is the mother, the King of Qin is the son, and the son kills the mother for the sake of unfilial piety.

A prince who is disloyal and unfilial will not only lose the hearts of the people, but also lose the help of the court.

And she Mei Shengxue, what virtue can she make King Qin entrust?

In the dark, Mei Shengxue's eyes gradually dimmed, and she was silent.

Shen Tong patted her on the shoulder and said softly, "As you said, I am the same person as you. People like us can be pawns to charge into battle, and we can also lure the enemy deeper, but even if the pawn on the chessboard is eaten, we will know that it is the general who is desperately loyal to it. And you, you know? ”

Shen Tong left after speaking, and to Mei Shengxue's surprise, Shen Tong actually opened the door and swaggered out.

Until the dilapidated door closed again, Mei Shengxue was still stunned.

She was a pawn to die, but who was the owner of her pawn?

Is it King Qin?

Definitely not.

A Qingdao chief?

If it wasn't the instructions of King Qin that the First Qing Daoist sent her to assassinate, then what was the purpose of the First Qing Daoist?

What if she succeeds, but what if she fails?

Just before tonight, she was determined to become a benevolent person if she didn't succeed, and if she couldn't kill the Empress Dowager, she would not leave the palace.

But now, her heart sank to the bottom.

She is just a pawn, the pawn who rushes in front is always alone, the pawn who fails is not a pity to die, and the pawn succeeds that is an unexpected joy.

And what about her pawn?

Mei Shengxue's heart was in turmoil, she tried to calm herself down, and carefully recalled the bits and pieces of these days.

She was the one who decided to assassinate the Empress Dowager, but she was inspired by a Qingdao chief.

There was a hand pushing her behind her back, and she couldn't help but get on this path.

It's too late not to go now, but she has also lost the opportunity to use King Qin from now on.

But what about her?

......

That night, Mei Shengxue didn't sleep, and the next morning, she went to see Miss Meng and said that she was going out to do something.

Miss Meng asked, "I'm going to Beijing tomorrow, what are you going to do today?" ”

Mei Shengxue said coldly: "This is not what you should ask. ”

Miss Meng really didn't dare to ask again, she asked her maid Xianglan to accompany Mei Shengxue out, and said to the officers and soldiers guarding outside that she was going to the ready-to-wear shop to change her clothes.

They were just maids, and the officers and soldiers let them out without asking too much.

Outside, Mei Shengxue said to Xianglan: "Go wherever you want, wait for me in the tea house in front before dark." ”

Xianglan vaguely knew that this new little girl was different from them, so she didn't ask much.

Mei Shengxue looked around and saw a small alley not far away, where two seven or eight-year-old children were playing.

She walked over quietly, and after a while, Mei Shengxue had already taken off her maid's outfit and turned into a little boy with fine skin and tender meat.

The boy stopped a sedan chair on the street and went to the palace courtyard.

When the palanquin man heard that he was going to the palace courtyard, he casually asked, "Little brother, why didn't you go with your family?" ”

The little boy looked proud: "Do I have to go home with the adults in the family?" ”

The palanquin man didn't dare to ask more, the people living in the palace were all officials in the palace, although the official position was not high, but the official was an official, not something that they could provoke, it turned out that this was the child of the official family.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the palace courtyard, the little boy paid the sedan chair fee, but did not get off the sedan chair, she took out a piece of broken silver, and said to the sedan chair man: "You talk to the porter, and say that there is an urgent matter, let him call Lang Yue out." ”

The ingots of broken silver are three dollars to say the least, and the sedan chair man can't earn so much in a day, so he doesn't say a word, so he goes to the porter.

If it is a child from another family, the porter is too lazy to call someone, but Lang Yue is different, Lang Yue is an apprentice of a Qingdao person, and a Qingdao person is a red person in front of the prince. What's more, it was a Qingdao man who asked him to call someone, and the porter glanced at the sedan chair parked at the gate, and did not slack off, just saw a child passing by, so he asked him to call Lang Yue.

Lang Yue didn't go to the palace in the past few days, because Xiao Ren came back, Xiao Ren and Shen Tong knew each other, and Lang Yue couldn't tell why, even if she didn't want to see Xiao Ren with it.

When the child came to call Lang Yue, Lang Yue frowned and asked, "My master asked people to come to me?" ”

The child was angry when he saw Lang Yue, so he said angrily: "The person who came is at the door, it is the porter who asked me to call you, do you like to go!" ”
