218: Cat and Mouse Game
() Qiu Shan threw away Qu Ruizhi's hair, "I have my own way of doing things, I don't need you to worry about it, just take care of yourself." ”
"You've been sneaking into her bedroom for a few days and nights, have you gained anything?" Qu Ruizhi combed her hair slightly, and her scalp was pulled like this, rubbing her scalp in pain.
"Nothing but a few scratches from the damn cat." Qiu Shan sat at the table, took out a small wine bag from her arms, and took a sip of it.
Qiu Shan was originally a killer raised by Shangguan Yu in the suburbs, if it wasn't for her to enter the palace this time to assist Qu Ruizhi in investigating the framing of Concubine Xian, she would not have entered the palace, and she would have to play a maid who serves people.
Utterly humble before men.
At night, I'm going to be scratched by that damn barking cat.
In a fit of rage, he used a fish to lure the cat to the backyard, found a place where no one was, stabbed the cat to death, threw it in the grass, and left its body to rot in the sun.
"It just scratched you, why did you kill it?"
Qiu Shan was silent.
She wouldn't tell Qu Ruizhi that others would think cats were cute, but in her eyes, cats were terrible creatures.
Since childhood, I have been locked up with cats, snatching food and drinking, and I kept being scratched at first, scratching the back of my hands and face.
Slowly, she learned what it means to be fierce and what it means to eat the strong.
Since then, cats have been killed when they see them.
The folded ear in Concubine Liu's arms, she has endured it for a long time because of what Shangguan Yu explained.
That day, she sneaked into Liu Yunxi's dormitory, Liu Yunxi was sleeping soundly, she searched everywhere, and she didn't find anything suspicious.
Just as Qiu Shan was about to approach Liu Yunxi's bed to find out if there was a hidden grid or something, a gray cat suddenly popped out of the bed, scratching her arm several times.
Qiu Shan endured it at the moment, but on the second day, she quietly took a fish and lured the cat out, grabbed it, and cut its throat directly.
Qu Ruizhi saw that Qiu Shan was silent, so she didn't ask any more questions, and she didn't continue to reprimand her.
After all, she is the master and Qiu Shan is the slave during the day, but in essence, she is just sent by Shangguan Yu to monitor her.
Qu Ruizhi still understands this very clearly.
On the surface, Shangguan Yu said that he was here to assist her, but in the final analysis, it was to monitor to see if she was doing well in the tasks he assigned, don't enter the palace, and get grace, so he left the things he explained behind.
If one day the plan is exposed, the matter involves the Shangguan family, and maybe she will be killed as a chess piece.
Therefore, Qu Ruizhi didn't provoke Qiu Shan when she could, which in the eyes of others, became Qiu Shan is Qu Ruizhi's good sister, and now that her sister is promoted, she has become a personal maid such as a confidant.
……
Inside the Wangchun Pavilion.
After seeing King Jin, Xiaoquanzi hurried to Wangchun Pavilion, wanting to go back before Yin Xiaoxi had dinner, so as to serve his master for dinner.
But not long after he left, he was dragged into a corner and put his arm against his throat.
Xiaoquanzi is not tall, and when he is held against him like this, he can only stand on tiptoe to make his breathing a little easier.
His eyes widened, and he looked at the handsome and cold face in front of him, "Wanton...... Lord Wang. ”
Lin Er still pressed his left arm against Xiao Quanzi, and said sharply, "What are you whispering to King Jin just now?" ”
Koizumiko stammered a little and denied, "No...... No, I don't. ”
Xiao Quanzi pretended to be calm, thinking that he looked really calm, but he didn't know that he was extremely weak in Lin Er's eyes at the moment.
"No?" Lin Er's long slanted cold eyes shot out a terrifying chill, and he came straight to Xiaoquanzi, and Xiaoquanzi shrank away from his head.
"The slave said no, but no, if you want to kill, you have to listen to it."
Xiao Quanzi pisted his head, closed his eyes tightly, and raised the decibels slightly when he was nervous, and his already shrill voice became even more piercing at this moment.
Lin Er let go of him and took a step back.
At the moment when Lin Er let go, Xiao Quanzi broke free from the hunter's cage like a prey, and he had to raise his legs and run like crazy.
But as soon as he took a step, the collar was grabbed by a big hand behind him, "This king hasn't finished asking, where to run." ”
Xiao Quanzi smiled and turned his head, "The slave is in a hurry to go back and serve my master for dinner, you also know that my master can't eat without my service, you don't want my master to be hungry." ”
Lin Er glanced at him with a little contempt but a little helplessness, there was only one thought in his heart at the moment, it was really a slave who followed the master, and what the master was like, what the slave was like.
He actually saw Yin Xiaoxi's shadow on Xiaoquanzi's body......
I must be tired of helping the emperor review the music, and after approving it tonight, I must go back and have a good sleep.
"After answering the king's question, the king will let you go back and serve your mother for dinner."
Xiao Quanzi lowered his head and was silent for a while, straightened out the eunuch uniform on his body, and looked extremely aggrieved, "Then the prince should let go of the slaves, otherwise the prince plans to keep carrying the slaves like this?" ”
When the prince heard this, he glanced at Xiao Quanzi, and he didn't dare to run away anymore, so he let go of his hand.
Xiao Quanzi suddenly bloomed with surprise, and pointed to the palace wall behind him, "Look, Lord Wang." ”
The voice was sharp and thin, with a hint of surprise.
Lin Er turned around and looked, the palace wall was empty, only a crescent moon was slowly climbing up the branches.
Turning around, "It's not ......"
But as soon as he spoke, he noticed that the little eunuch had already fled.
Lin Yi stood in place, sighed, and couldn't help but say, "I really followed his master." ”
After speaking, he jumped and walked on the palace wall.
Standing on a high place, the field of vision is broader, even if there are many corridors in the palace, and there are many twists and turns, standing on a high place can also see the guards and palace people coming and going on the road at a glance.
In the blink of an eye, I saw Xiaoquanzi, who was escaping in a hurry and looking behind him from time to time.
Lin Er followed Xiao Quanzi, seeing that he was about to return to Wangchun Pavilion.
I wasn't in a hurry, I squatted directly on the roof and listened to the conversation between the master and servant.
Xiaoquanzi ran out of breath, and when he saw Yin Xiaoxi, he pounced.
Yin Xiaoxi had just finished dinner and was about to go for a walk in the courtyard to eliminate food, when he saw Xiaoquanzi running back in a panic.
stepped forward to support him and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, didn't you wait for King Jin?" ”
Xiao Quanzi gasped, where could he still speak, and he didn't have to reply for a while, "See you...... See. ”
"Then why are you in such a hurry, is someone chasing you?" Yin Xiaoxi helped Xiaoquanzi, leaned over and looked behind him, but no one was chasing after him.
