Chapter 6: The Assassins

Chunyi's eyes flashed, and instead of answering the topic, he said, "Sister Yan, you are not lightly injured on your face, was it beaten by Lord Nalan?" If you want me to say, Lord Nalan is really reckless this time, how can he be so ruthless to Sister Yan? ”

As he spoke, he carefully handed the small cloth bag hidden in his hand through the broken window, "Sister Yan, there are some wound medicines and some dry food in it, it's cold, you can make do with it, I can't stay here longer, Sister Yan take care." ”

As soon as the words fell, the rabbit-like figure hurriedly ran away.

The night is like ink, the snow is like jade, countless snowflakes, fluttering from the air, swaying, shouting, all the way down from the sky, crowded together, rubbed together, not long, large clusters of snow flocculents, more and more this cold night, lined with more and more cold, harsh.

Jin Yan tightened the small cloth bag in her hand, only to feel that the snow in this cold winter had squeezed her whole body into a dull heart.

She wanted to ask Chunyi again how Concubine Chen was doing, but Chunyi didn't give her a chance to speak again.

With a feeling of loss in her heart, she left by the window and opened the small cloth bag sent by Spring by the torch in the stand on the wall.

Sure enough, there was a celadon medicine bottle inside, and there were also a few hard dry buns. She looked at the medicine bottle, put it aside, then picked up the bun and nibbled on it, and immediately shook her head bitterly, putting down the food that was as hard as a stone.

On such a cold day, I can't bite even if I have food.

Her face hurt a little, she then opened the celadon medicine bottle, picked a touch of ointment with her fingertips, and wiped it on her face indiscriminately.

Like a knife cut, like an arrow poking, and like countless insects opening their mouths to bite her hard, trying to drill into her face, she couldn't help but exhale in pain, held her face with both hands, and screamed heartbreakingly.

"Save me, save me......"

She screamed miserably, in such a snowy cold night, and in such a remote abandoned palace, no one could hear her cry at all.

Ning'an Palace.

The atmosphere was so quiet that you had to stop breathing.

The palace maids and eunuchs who came and went all relaxed their steps and stood on tiptoe, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be angry, and the life of this life would be over.

"Mama, how is the mother?"

Chunyi came back from outside, regardless of the severe cold, and asked in a low voice, the mama who was pulled looked at her, and said with a smile on her face, "It turned out to be a Chunyi girl, Niangniang has been diagnosed and treated by the doctor, and there is no big problem, but Concubine Chen's mother is ......."

"Concubine Chen's affairs, don't bother with Mama." Chunyi glanced left and right, interrupted her violently, and said with a straight face, "If Mama is fine, go down first." ”

"Spring girl, this ......" Mama was stunned, and wanted to say more, Chunyi had already turned around and entered the inner hall, and her hurried back seemed to be unusual, Mama looked at it in her eyes, shook her head suspiciously, didn't dare to think about it, and turned away.

Through the layers of curtains, and lifted the bead curtain, into the inner room, the curtain in front of the queen's bed has been tied up left and right, the symbol of bright yellow charm, is her honor as the queen.

Spring came to the front of the bed, the palace maids on the left and right bent down together, Chunyi waved his hand and asked them to retreat, the palace maids carefully retreated out, and the door was closed, isolating all the cold outside the door.

The snow fell, and when it came closer, it was melted by the warmth of the house, and God's power could not enter this door.

"Mother, the slave has done the work."

Make sure that there is no one around, Chunyi knelt in front of the couch and said, the queen on the couch slowly opened her closed eyes, Chunyi hurriedly stepped forward to help, the queen sat up on the soft pillow, looked at Chunyi with a weak face and said, "But that Concubine Chen has been asked by the emperor?" ”

She spent so much effort and made such a big game, if this can't bring her down, then she, the high position of the lord of the harem, can really be handed over.

"Niangniang, Concubine Chen is so good, isn't it that the emperor likes her face, if her face is ruined, will the emperor still like her?"

Spring hung his head, Hou said on the side, this idea can not be described as not poisonous, what does a woman care about most in this life? It's nothing more than my own face. Especially these harem women, they all rely on their faces to be favored. If Concubine Chen really ruined her face, she wouldn't be able to make a move at all, and the emperor would naturally get tired of her.

"It's a good idea to have a good idea, but who dares to do it? Is that you? Or Hongu? ”

The queen raised her pale eyebrows and said lightly, "She has always been the emperor's treasure, her face ...... No one dared to destroy it. ”

Unless......

"Don't worry, the slave has already been selected for this matter."

The lowered eyebrows were raised, Chunyi stepped forward, and whispered a few words in the queen's ear, the queen listened, and slowly stretched her brows, "Very good." Spring, if this thing is done, this palace will promote you to the status of a female official in Ning'an Palace. ”

During the Great Calendar, the position of female officials can also be said to be below a few people, above tens of thousands of people, and even the female officials around the queen.

Spring was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly knocked on the ground to thank him, "The slave and the maid thank the mother for the reward, the slave and the maid are loyal to the heart of the mother, and they will never give up!" ”

After that, Chunyi went out of the door of Ning'an Palace, and went straight to Chengong again, and when she returned after a while, her originally delicate and elegant face unconsciously had a trace of pride.

Thinking of Aunt Yan who was still in that abandoned palace, Chunyi paused on tiptoe, turned around and went back.

In the quiet night, there is no noise at all, and the steps of spring fall on the thick snow, "crunching" softly, like the devil in the dark night, stepping on the wind and dust.

The torches in the house burned out the pine oil inside, and it had been quietly extinguished, looking in from the window, it was dark, and nothing could be seen, Chunyi called softly twice "Sister Yan", there was no movement inside, Chunyi's heart was loosened, and his body stood stiffly in the ice and snow outside, and after a long, long time, he sighed softly, "Sister Yan, it's weird, you shouldn't come tonight!" ”

At dawn the next day, Nalan City wanted to escort the assassin at night to the emperor for personal interrogation, but when he opened the door, he saw two bloody corpses.

He was stunned, and hurriedly stepped in, first looked at the injury on Jin Yan's face, and then probed her snort, then let out a long breath, pointed at Jin Yan and said, "She is still alive, hurry up to the imperial doctor to save her." Remember, this maid can't die, she must live! ”

The emperor wants to try the case, naturally he can't try a dead person, Nalan City's words, all the guards also understand, and hurriedly carried the palace maid who was already cold out with all hands and feet, and placed it in a side hall first, and added a bed quilt, at least he would not be frozen to death.

And Nalan City at this moment is an indescribable feeling in his heart.

That woman, she can't protect herself, why should she save her enemy?

Raising his eyes and looking at his big coat wrapped around Liu Hong's body, Nalan Cheng wrinkled, he personally saw that this palace maid was going to kill someone, if he hadn't arrived in time, the little palace maid just now would have died long ago.

Repaying grievances with virtue, this kind of thing, I didn't expect it to happen in this harem.

"That's it, even if it's the person you saved with all your life, it should also be her creation."

Nalan Cheng sighed, stepped forward to look at Liu Hong again, because Jin Yan bandaged her wounds and gave her a big coat, she lived a more nourishing life than Jin Yan.

"Come on, carry her away."

Frowning, Nalan Cheng commanded, and another guard came over, and also carried Liu Hong out, Nalan Cheng finally looked around, and was about to walk, and he caught a glimpse of a blue porcelain bottle on the ground, as well as a few hard buns.

Bent down to pick it up, first opened the mouth of the bottle, put it under his nose and sniffed, and immediately frowned, and his face became ugly.

Thinking of the injury on the little palace maid's face in the blink of an eye, Nalan Cheng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly dodged out.

In the side hall, after the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated Jin Yan, he shook his head and said, "My lord, if it is not that the lower officials do their best, it is really that this girl is covered in injuries, and she is sick and cold, it would be good if she could pick up a small life, but when she can wake up, it depends on her life." ”

The imperial doctor shook his head as he sat down to prescribe the medicine, and Nalan Cheng handed the porcelain bottle in his hand across, "My lord, prescribe the medicine slowly, let's see what this is first?" ”

The celadon medicine bottle, very delicate workmanship, looks like something from the palace, but I don't know where it flowed from.

The Imperial Physician took his hand and said as he looked at it, "Huh? This thing, it looks so familiar, how can it be in the hands of adults? ”

Raised his hand to open the porcelain vase, put it between his nose and sniffed, and then said with a solemn face, "My lord, where did this thing come from?" Such a vicious thing, did the murderer catch it? ”

Such an invisible thing that kills people is actually in the hands of Lord Nalan, and the first reaction of the natural imperial doctor is that Nalan City has caught the murderer.

"The murderer hasn't caught it yet, it's just that this thing was picked up by Nalan by accident, can you be sure what kind of poison is in it?"

Raising his hand and taking the cyan porcelain vase again, Nalan Cheng carefully put it away, and said with a solemn face, "If the adults know, I hope to tell me that this poison is related to the body of the queen, and it is also related to the innocence of Concubine Chen, as well as the anger of the emperor." ”

The queen was poisoned in Ning'an Palace, just because she drank a cup of tea poured by Concubine Chen.

"This, Xia Guan understands, Lord Nalan, please rest assured."

The imperial doctor said again and again, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Nalan Cheng nodded, and walked out, Emperor Jingyuan strode and kicked the corners of his clothes, purple and noble, embroidered with a dragon robe of a five-clawed golden dragon, and a breath that was not angry and mighty, so that the guards along the way knelt down to greet each other, Nalan Cheng knelt on the ground and said long live, Emperor Jingyuan waved his hand, and said with a cold face, "I heard that Nalan caught the assassin last night?" Let's take a look! ”
