The previous dynasty was in a state of deliberation, and it was boiling.

And the harem is not peaceful. In the Chaolu Palace, Mu Qingwan was noisy and noisy in the side hall, and smashed things, just to let the queen mother see her. Leng Qingchen sent someone to drag the half-dead Abi to the door and give her a look.

"Your Royal Highness, if you feel sorry for your maid, be at ease. You won't be missing anything you want here, but there's only one thing, and that's not to make as much noise as you did. The Queen Mother has not been very good lately, and she can't hear too noisy sounds. The more you are like this, the more the Queen Mother will not come to see you. ”

Mu Qingwan saw the blood marks on Abi's body from the crack in the door, and couldn't help but feel anxious. Her relationship with Abi is called master and servant, more like sisters, they have been together since childhood, and they have never been separated. Now that the queen mother has calculated correctly, she will not let Abi give her life in vain, so she ordered someone to use this trick, which is very good.

Mu Qingwan suddenly quieted down, she sighed lightly, and said softly to the grandmother outside the door, "Then can you come over for me, I have something to say to her." ”

The mother who passed the word was not so easy to get along with, so she only sneered, "What the princess wants, just tell the slave maid." Lord Shanggong is busy, and he is serving the Queen Mother at this time. ”

It must have been ordered by the queen mother in advance, otherwise this side hall is not far away, and she has such a big movement, and only one grandmother has been sent over for a long time. And even the Shan family avoided her, I am afraid that the queen mother will wait for Xiao He to be sentenced before letting her go.

Why did she just refuse to let go of Xiao He?

Mu Qingwan bit her lower lip lightly, wanting to have a seizure but throwing a mouse bogey, for fear that they would hurt Abi again, so she could only endure it first.

At the gate of Zhaohua Palace, several eunuchs came to mention people, it is said that they were ordered by the emperor to mention Xiao He to go to the Taihe Palace to ask questions.

The guards saw that the token was the person in front of the king, and got out of the way. It's just that Xiao Qing took a look at it, and the eunuch who was the leader was not Liu Fuhai, nor Zhang Delu, or even any eunuch who often appeared in front of the emperor.

He dared to step forward and stop, "May I ask which palace is this father-in-law working in on an errand?" I look at it like this. ”

The man squinted at Xiao Qing and said coldly, "You are a little guard, and you dare to ask the errand in front of the emperor, are you tired of living?" ”

At this time, the captain of the guard also hurriedly reprimanded, "Xiao Qing, what are you crazy about, they want to mention someone and tell you to let you go, just do it, talk so much, are you looking for death?" But Xiao Qing didn't give up, "Now the guards inside are important people who have been personally explained by the emperor, the emperor just left here this morning, and he asked for someone so soon, doesn't Elder Wu think there is anything wrong?" If it is a personal message, it has always been the responsibility of Gonggong Liu, and he has never seen this face. ”

That Wu Chang was actually a timid and afraid person, and when he heard Xiao Qing's analysis, he was also suspicious, "It's better to ask my father-in-law to take out the token again and let the villain take a look at it again." ”

As soon as he finished his words, he saw the eunuch raise his hand and wave it, and the gesture was so fast that he never saw it, but it was not a token that he took out. Wu Chang's throat bone was twisted off in just a moment, and there was a subtle cracking sound.

The surrounding guards were stunned for a moment, but the three or five eunuchs, but their skills were not ordinary, and they only used a few moves to put down the remaining dozen or so guards.

Xiao Qing talked a lot, and was smashed by the sternum of the leader's palm, when he fell to the ground, he grabbed Xiao Zheng, pressed him under half of his body, and hurriedly whispered before swallowing, "Don't move, report the news." Xiao Zheng's martial arts are not as good as Xiao Qing, although he is afraid, but he is more resentful, so he can only endure and not make a sound at this time.

When Xiao He in the hall heard the movement, he came out to fight with the leader.

Within thirty moves, there was a tie, and I couldn't get any benefits.

Xiao He was poisoned before, detoxified, and his body was seriously injured, and he was still in the recovery stage, and his skills were only thirty percent of what he did on weekdays. I didn't expect such a master to lurk in the palace. She fought with the man, and the afterglow swept to the corpses in the courtyard, although the martial arts of these guards were not extremely good, but they were also good, and they could kill these dozen people in such a short time, which should not be underestimated.

It's just that she suddenly caught a glimpse of the two people lying in the corner, it was Xiao Qing and Xiao Zheng. Although she only saw the side face, she could recognize it clearly, but at the moment she was shocked, and she hesitated a little, and was caught in the gap.

There was a gust of wind behind him, and someone sneaked up from behind.

Xiao He dodged to avoid the sneak attacker, locked his arm with his backhand, and restrained him before shouting to the person in charge, "Don't move, otherwise it will kill him." Unexpectedly, the eunuch who was the leader had a sneer overflowing from the corner of his lips, and raised his hand to stretch out a short sword from his sleeve and stabbed it directly, penetrating the chest of the person she was holding hostage, forcing Xiao He to retreat step by step. He even raised a palm and hit the hilt of the sword, directly piercing the short sword through the body of the person in front of him and stabbing it on Xiao He's shoulder blade.

Everything happened too fast, Xiao He reached out and grabbed the blade of the sword, which prevented the sword from piercing deeper, but she also found that the sword body had a faint blue-purple luster, which was a reflection after quenching the poison. This poison is not a deadly poison, but a powerful drug.

In an instant, Xiao He understood the other party's plan, not to take his own life, but to rob himself.

If at this time, he disappeared, and he was charged with absconding in fear of crime, and the previous poisoning incident could also be reversed by them and called it a bitter trick made by themselves. In this way, he took those five steps in vain.

Xiao He suddenly crossed the man, looked behind him, smiled indifferently, and said loudly, "Why is the Queen Mother here in person, is she so uneasy?" ”

When the man heard this, although he already felt that this was her nonsense to deceive herself, she still couldn't control her body, and couldn't help but twist her neck to see if there was really someone behind her. Xiao He seized this gap and pushed the half-dead man in front of him hard, pushing his ruthless and unrighteous companion, and then flew out of the courtyard wall.

Zhaohua Palace is located in the middle of nowhere, if it weren't for Mu Churan's special transfer of guards to guard, it would be rare for the guards patrolling the palace city to patrol here during the day.

She only needs to go to the front hall, go to a crowded place, make some noise, and alarm some people casually, and she can break this situation. Light work requires luck, so it accelerates qi and blood, and the wound on the shoulder blade is not shallow, but because it is sticky to the medicine, the bleeding cannot be stopped.

After a while, the bedgown was already wet, and the shoulders were dyed red.

is also because she urges the internal force, but it makes the medicine walk faster, one is the injury, the other is the medicine power, so the pace is more and more slow. After this road, you can see the Taihe Palace, there are several teams of patrol guards alone, not to mention this hour, it is about to go down the hour, and there are many eunuchs and palace maids waiting on the side.

All she had to do was shout loudly, and someone would hear.

Xiao He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound. This poison actually added dumb medicine, and it is also a shame that they are so thoughtful. Xiao Heqiang cheered up and continued to walk forward.

The light seemed to be close at hand, and she seemed to have heard the sound of everyone walking and talking as they went down, and it only took a corner to pass the vermilion lacquer gate.

It's a pity that she couldn't hold on to that moment, and as soon as her eyes went dark, the person fell.

Wu Tian and the others then found her, picked her up from the ground, carried her away as if carrying a corpse, loaded her into a carriage, and hid her in the team transporting her out of the palace.

The palace maid Qinglian went to the imperial dining room early in the morning to prepare food for Xiao He in person, and when she returned to Zhaohua Palace, she was stunned by the sight of people lying all over the ground.

Before she could scream, she was taken away by several palace maids.

"Your name is Qinglian, isn't it?"

In a dimly lit hut, someone untied the black cloth that blindfolded Qinglian, and she heard a grandmother asking herself. Years of court career have made her a habit, so she nodded and replied: "The slave maid is called Qinglian." ”

"What happened in Zhaohua Palace, do you remember?" The other party asked very clearly, word by word.

Qinglian was stupid, and hurriedly shook her head, "The slave doesn't know anything, the slave went out to prepare some breakfast for the adult, but when she went back, she found that many people had died......"

"Wrong! You remember wrong! Mama said slowly, "It was Xiao He who wanted to abscond in fear of crime, and the man in black came to help him, he killed all the guards, and they fled together." ”

Qinglian was stunned for a while, unable to speak for a long time, and really didn't know how to answer.

"Qinglian, you are also twenty-six this year." Mama's voice suddenly became very soft.

Qinglian didn't dare to answer, so she could only nod slightly.

"There's a mother and a brother back home, right?" She continued to ask, as if a kind old lady were concerned about the servants of their affairs.

Qinglian was shocked, no one had ever mentioned this matter except for the fellow who she went home with a little silver every year. But she didn't dare to show too much expression on her face, so she could only continue to nod.

"If you do this, and you do it, then you will go out of the palace with a hundred taels of silver. Are you satisfied? Mama's voice actually had a bit of bewitching power.

Qinglian's eyes widened, her annual allowance was only twenty taels, and after deducting the filial piety and necessary expenses, she could save more than ten taels to save money. One hundred taels of silver, which she earned for five years without eating, drinking, or using it. If you can have this hundred taels, after returning to your hometown, you can start a small business with your mother and younger brother, and you will be able to marry your younger brother in two years.

Her heart moved slightly, that Xiao He was someone who had nothing to do with her, as for what happened in Zhaohua Palace, she really didn't know. What if the truth of the matter is exactly what this grandmother said?

She swallowed her saliva, "Everything is just according to Mama's orders, and the slave and maid will definitely do it." ”

"No," Mama looked at her and smiled slightly, "You're just telling the truth."
