Chapter 208: Can You Help Me?
♂? ,,
The concubine's lips squirmed slightly, she wanted to say something, wanted to beg for mercy, wanted to wail for help, but it was a word, and she couldn't make a sound at all.
The eunuch grabbed the concubine's hair with his hand, and at this time, the concubine's hair fell and scattered, and the eunuch pulled it into his hand little by little, and lifted the concubine who was paralyzed on the ground from the ground.
Tears kept dripping from the concubine's eyes, and she looked at the two eunuchs with cold and expressionless faces with pleading eyes.
These servants will kneel at her feet and bow down, and let her reprimand and punish her. I don't want to be the one who sent her to death today, the panic in her heart is indescribable, and she only hopes that she can move these two people with tears and let her go.
She has a lot to say in her heart, she wants to justify, she wants to say that she is just a useless woman who is now imprisoned, and begs the two to spare her life.
"Looking at her like this, can she still write a suicide note?"
Another eunuch who lit the lamp and laid out the paper and pen said a word, and glanced at the concubine coldly: "Concubine Ming, let it be clear, writing a suicide note can make you go away happily and avoid pain." Otherwise, our family has a way to make it impossible to survive and die. This is the cold palace, do you expect anyone to come to the rescue? ”
Concubine Ming's eyes were hazy with tears, and when the two eunuchs came in, they covered the window lattices and doors with black felt, so that the light in the room could not shine through the room and would not arouse the suspicion of others.
has been in the deep palace for many years, how can Concubine Ming not understand that these two people must have dealt with the maids around her first, so that they have the time and mood to clean her up in a good time, without worrying about being discovered by others.
Despair crept through her heart, not understanding who these two people really were and why they wanted to kill her.
The two didn't even bother to tell her a reason, so they dragged her up from the bed and cleaned it up. She wanted to scream and resist, but she found that she couldn't even move a finger and couldn't speak, and she didn't know what means these two used.
Such ghostly means and two people made her chill from the bottom of her heart.
The actions and words of the two were obviously premeditated and very well prepared, and she could not escape death tonight.
"Concubine Ming, let's write it, in fact, if you don't write it, our family really doesn't care very much, a concubine who has ended up in such a situation, who will care about life or death? For the sake of the five princes, writing naturally gives a pleasure, and if you are willing to write, you will nod. ”
Concubine Ming was flustered, a gleam flashed in the depths of her eyes, and she nodded helplessly to endure the sharp pain that came from her scalp into her body.
The eunuch who held Concubine Ming's hair let go, stretched out his hand and patted Concubine Ming's body a few times, and Concubine Ming found that she could move, but she still couldn't make a sound or speak.
"Write it, Concubine Ming, for the sake of the five princes, I don't want anything to happen to the five princes about what the five princes know, right? The emperor is benevolent and forgives the death of the five princes, and if he makes trouble again, there will be no forgiveness. ”
The eunuch's tone was gloomy and murderous, and two pairs of cold eyes stared at Concubine Ming.
Concubine Ming originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to nod and agree to write a suicide note to ask for help or escape, but she didn't want her body to move, but she still couldn't make a sound.
Two eunuchs sandwiched her between the left and right, one of the eunuchs grabbed Concubine Ming's hand and stuffed the pen into Concubine Ming's hand, and the other gloomy tone sounded in Concubine Ming's ears: "How to write, you don't need to say more about our family, give half a stick of incense time, don't have other careful thoughts." Heartbroken Emperor Xian, he intends to follow the Emperor Xian, so that he can also leave a glimmer of life for the five princes. I will definitely die tonight, so don't implicate the five princes again. ”
Concubine Ming's hands were trembling constantly, and her whole body trembled like snow flakes that had been rolled up by the cold wind outside.
"Tick ......"
A drop of ink falls on the snow-white paper.
"I don't think I have to bother, just send her on the road."
The eunuch who grabbed Concubine Ming just now said in a cold voice.
Concubine Ming shook her head vigorously, it was good to live a little longer, she hurriedly wanted to take another piece of paper, because her hand was shaking too much to pick up the white paper.
"Forget it, I can't write it."
Another eunuch sighed: "Do you want to give her a good time, or do you let it be?" ”
"Why bother, just hang it up."
Concubine Ming suddenly stretched out her hand and overturned the table with force.
"Whoa...... Puff ......"
The sound of the table toppling over, and the sound of things falling on the table, rang out in the room, and the sound was exceptionally clear in the silent night, echoing in the night sky for a long time.
"Damn it!"
The eunuch who grabbed Concubine Ming's hair scolded in a low voice, stretched out his hand and clicked a few times on Concubine Ming's body, Concubine Ming fell to the ground heavily, her whole body convulsed and trembled, the severe pain spread in her body, and the cold sweat soaked through her clothes in a moment.
"Cheap maid, at this time, I still have a different kind of mind, I can't say that our family has to make some effort to give it a ride by hand!"
Another eunuch said fiercely, he jumped down and grabbed the white ribbon hanging on the beam, and his body was like electricity, and he turned out to be a master.
The eunuch just now, who was obviously also a master, ordered Concubine Ming's acupoint, so that Concubine Ming couldn't move or speak.
"Hurry up, I'm afraid I've already alarmed the Praetorian Guard."
"What are you afraid of, just a few Praetorian Guards, can you help me?"
"It's always bad to be discovered, move quickly to avoid accidents."
The eunuch grabbed Concubine Ming's hair and lifted it fiercely, exposing Concubine Ming's slender neck.
The white ribbon slammed around Concubine Ming's neck and tightened it.
On the high beam, Concubine Ming's body was hung up, and on a piece of white silk, the once fresh life and charming face withered in this cold and biting night.
Once delicate and moving face, bruised and swollen, eyes bulging and slightly oozing blood, tongue sticking out very long, double
The eyes widened with a little unwilling dazedness.
Gently swaying on the white ribbon, the two eunuchs didn't take a second look, they had already strangled Concubine Ming to death just now, and now they just hung Concubine Ming's body on the white silk, as for whether this scene was like self-hanging, they didn't care.
Packing up the black felt and the marks in the room, the two calmly pushed open the door, restoring it to its original appearance, as if they had never entered.
They glanced around in the darkness of the night and heard the sound of the Praetorian Guards running from a short distance away, and the two of them leapt into the darkness and disappeared into the night like ghosts.
Just after the figures of the two eunuchs disappeared, the heavy footsteps of the Praetorian Guards broke through the silence of the night and rushed into the palace of Concubine Ming.
As the mother of the rebellious prince, it was because of the grace of the new monarch that she was released from the cold palace and placed here to retire. There are only two maidservants and two elderly eunuchs waiting for her, there is not much difference between this and the cold palace, the treatment is better, and she doesn't have to do anything by herself.
The Praetorian Guards rushed into the courtyard and shouted for the maids and servants to get up.
The two eunuchs were long gone, hidden in the darkness in the distance.
A black shadow quickly followed behind the two eunuchs, dodging and chasing the traces of the two eunuchs, he didn't dare to get too close, looking at the other party's light skills, they were all martial arts masters. Maybe he can deal with one, and if he has two, he is worried that it is not the opponent of the other party.
The two figures disappeared in the trees of the Imperial Garden, and the figure following behind hesitated for a moment, he slowed down, and with the cover of the trees and stone pavilions on the left and right, he leaned towards the place where the two eunuchs had disappeared.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
A few cold rays of light reflected the cold moonlight, flying towards the black shadow.
The black shadow dodged, as fast as lightning dodged several hidden weapons, and he turned around and ran.
"Want to go? Juniors stay! ”
The two eunuchs blocked the black shadow in the middle left and right, and the two of them shot after saying a word.
The black shadow who was following did not answer, his face was covered with a black scarf, and he was wearing the costume of a palace maid. The shadow rolled up her skirt at her waist and fought with the two.
After a few face-to-face shots, the black shadow found a gap and jumped out without looking back, running faster than a rabbit, the kung fu of the two masters on the other side, either of them was better than him, he still hurried to run for his life first, and it would be better to pass the news back.
The two eunuchs chased closely behind, and from time to time they sent out hidden weapons to shoot at the black shadows in front of them, and they must not let each other escape.
Helplessly, the palace maid's light skills are extremely high, the trees and pavilions in the imperial garden are everywhere, in the darkness, black shadows loom, and from time to time they dodged their hidden weapons and used hidden weapons to fight back, trying to distance themselves from them.
The trees in the Imperial Garden on a winter night are so quiet that no one will come to the Imperial Garden on such a winter night.
Their whereabouts were silent, except for the occasional loot landing on trees and stones
Voice, echoing in the night sky.
The black shadow fled, and he discerned the direction between the runs,
He suddenly ran towards the palace in the distance, and the people behind him followed too closely, and if he continued like this, he was worried that the other party would have hidden helpers and would not be able to escape.
"Puff ......"
The black shadow fell to the ground, he didn't dare to stop and hesitate for a moment, stretched out his hand to support the ground, sent out a few hidden weapons with his backhand, leaned over and staggered out into the darkness.
Behind him, the two eunuchs followed closely with perseverance, and at the moment when the black shadow fell just now, they and the black shadow narrowed the distance.
A piece of silver light spilled out from the hands of the black shadow, and the cold light under the moonlight made the two eunuchs have to pause temporarily, and the two took off their cloaks, and in a roll, those silver lights disappeared.
In this way, they once again distanced themselves from the black shadow in front of them, and the black shadow took the opportunity to cross a palace wall and climb into the inside of a palace. The two eunuchs hurried over, their hands flashing with cold light.
"Who?"
"Stop, or die!"
The two eunuchs paused, their figures disappearing into the darkness around them, and the two of them hid.
"In front is the emperor's bedroom, this matter must not alarm the emperor and his mother."
"Well, look at who that palace maid is, it may be Niangniang's person."
"Don't, I'm the personal maid Jiao Tao next to Niangniang, I have something important to see Niangniang, this is the token."
Jiao Tao gasped heavily, and blood dripped on the snow-white ground, leaving a few traces.
"Squat on the ground and don't move, otherwise you will be killed!"
The Janissaries' heavy and coercive voice sounded, and Jiao Tao squatted on the ground depressedly, raising the token high in one hand to identify herself.
Tonight, he accidentally found that two eunuchs sneakily came out of Concubine Ming's courtyard, and he secretly followed, not wanting the other party to be a master. Wounded, he found that this place was very close to the emperor's bedroom, so he hurriedly fled.
"My lord, it's my mother's token."
"Escort her to see Niangniang, and ask Niangniang to decide."
"Yes."
Someone stepped forward and took Jiao Tao up, Jiao Tao did not resist and looked back into the night, there was darkness behind her, only the trees swayed in the wind and made a sad sound, and the two eunuchs could no longer be seen.
He followed the Praetorian Guards to meet Ye Ruoxi.
"Sure enough, it's the person next to Niangniang, I don't want Niangniang to be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, any maid has such skills and light skills. That is in the middle of the rivers and lakes, and he is also a master. ”
"Maybe it's the one who steals the door, and the mother is in charge of the door."
"Among the thieves, I haven't heard of such a woman with martial arts and light skills, she will definitely return to her mother tonight, and report this matter to the chief manager, please make a decision."
"It's okay, there's no difference between discovering the truth and not discovering it, we don't expect to hide the past. It's just that the whereabouts have been leaked so early, I don't know
Will the Master of the Dao punish us? ”
"Follow up and see, if it's really the mother's person, it's just that, this matter can't be lost. Follow up and keep an eye on the point, and let's go back and report to the manager. ”
"Yes."
The two eunuchs separated, one secretly followed the Praetorian Guards to escort Jiao Tao to the emperor's bedroom, and the other flew out in the distance.
"Splendid girl, splendid girl, someone outside asked to see Niangniang."
Splendid Shawl sat up and looked out the window, it was dark.
"Who is it?"
"Girl, the Praetorian Guards found a mysterious and injured palace maid near the Imperial Garden, she said that it was the maid next to Niangniang named Jiao Tao, and the Praetorian Guards escorted her over to see Niangniang."
"Well, let them wait a while."
Jinxiu hurriedly got up, put on her clothes and walked out.
"Splendid girl, this slave was found by us in the Imperial Garden, and her whereabouts are suspicious and she is also injured. She said that she was the maid beside Niangniang, and she had a token on her body, saying that there was something important to return to Niangniang, and we were ordered to bring it over to the girl to identify whether it was someone from Niangniang's side. ”
Jiao Tao looked up pitifully: "Sister Yu, it's me." ”
"Poof......
Jinxiu couldn't help laughing, she hurriedly held back a smile and nodded: "He is the maid next to Niangniang, just leave it to me, thank you." ”
"Don't dare to be."
The Praetorian Guards handed Jiao Tao over to Jinxiu and retreated, and Jinxiu hooked her finger at Jiao Tao: "Come in and talk, who is this abuse?" ”
"Something happened, it's a big deal, and I have to go back to my mother as soon as possible. Sister Yu, hurry up and send someone to Concubine Ming's room to have a look. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know, I saw two eunuchs sneaking out of Concubine Ming's room, and it seemed that Concubine Ming was hanging on the beams of the room. I didn't dare to get close enough to see too clearly, but I could vaguely see a person dangling in the air in the room through the door. ”
"Wait a minute."
Jinxiu threw the medicine on the table: "The injury is okay, right?" Do you want to send the imperial doctor over? ”
"No, it's just a flesh wound, I can handle it myself."
Jinxiu turned around and went out, called Xiaoyun up, and asked Xiaoyun to take someone to Concubine Ming's room to check.
Jiao Tao quickly treated and bandaged the wound, but fortunately, the wound was not serious, and the skin and flesh were injured by two hidden weapons, all of which were minor injuries.
"Who are those two eunuchs?"
"I don't know, they seem to have masks on their faces, I haven't seen them. There are so many eunuchs in this palace, how can I know them all. The kung fu of those two people is not under me, if it were not for my light skills, it would be a must, and it would be difficult to escape from their palms. ”
"A must-have?"
Jinxiu pouted, let's see who to compare with, when it comes to light work, only their demonic mother is worthy of it.
"I ,...
…”
"Sister Yu, if you don't accept it, wait for me to heal my injury, and you'll know."
"Well, if the light work is better than the mother, I will take it."
Jiao Tao sat down depressedly, who is not good, why do you have to mention the lady who has no one to do?
Not long after, there was a running figure outside, and a eunuch hurriedly ran to the door, and Jinxiu pushed the door open: "How is it?" ”
"Girl, Concubine Ming hanged herself and died."
"Hang yourself!"
Jinxiu rubbed her temples, don't think about sleeping tonight, last night was the recurrence of Concubine Yan's old illness, and tonight it was Concubine Ming who hanged herself.
The trouble is that both people died unnaturally.
Concubine Yan died after being manipulated in medicine, and Concubine Ming's was even more obvious, Jiao Tao saw that there were two eunuch masters coming out of Concubine Ming's room, needless to say, they must have been hung after being murdered.
"Those two eunuchs, they don't have any impression at all?"
"Nope."
Jiao Tao replied affirmatively, and Jinxiu sighed: "I'll go back to Yu Niangniang, let's go and prepare for the funeral for Concubine Ming, and send the coffin in." ”
"Yes, the minions obey."
The little eunuch agreed and retreated, and Jinxiu looked at Jiao Tao sideways: "The matter was discovered, go back to Yu Niangniang." ”
"I, I'm not going."
Jiao Tao glanced at the room in the dormitory with palpitations, and the cold emperor made him feel a deep sense of awe in his heart, and he didn't dare to face Xuanyuan Yan.
"Sister Yu, good sister, let's go, I don't dare to disturb the emperor. When I think of the emperor, I tremble. ”
"It's really promising, I really doubt it's a man."
Jinxiu pursed her lips and looked at Jiao Tao with disdain.
Jiao Tao Huo Ran got up, her face turned cold: "Hmph, of course my brother is a man, and he is a handsome and chic man who is loved by everyone." I don't know how many women there are, but I secretly promise my brother. Sister Yu, it's better not to fall in love with your brother, because my brother's heart has already been given to others. ”
"Wow......"
Jinxiu made a vomiting appearance: "Dare to say that it is a man, look in the mirror, who dares to admit that it is a man?" If it's a man, go back to your mother, otherwise you'll call yourself a little sister when you see me in the future. ”
Jiao Tao jumped up, and was flattened by a little girl, he couldn't stand it.
"Just go, what is my brother afraid of."
As soon as he jumped up, Jiao Tao's feet were weak and he sat down again, and he looked at Jinxiu with resentful eyes: "Sister Yu, I'm injured, you can't bully me like this." ”
