Chapter 25: Extinguishing the Mouth

Cao Ranzheng felt that the figure was a little familiar, and after a little recollection, she thought of the lame eunuch who guided her when she went to Yuening Garden.

Thinking of Chun Liangdi's expression when she saw the mint sachet before leaving, she always felt that the appearance of the lame eunuch was not an accident, and an ominous premonition arose.

Got up and lifted up his dress, and quickened his pace more quickly.

Cao Ran secretly regretted in her heart that she should not take the path that Mama Li took her on, although the path was closer, it was more quiet, and she couldn't see a single figure at night.

Approaching the trot and walking a long way in one breath, panting slightly and glancing back, a figure still followed behind her not far away, if it was a chance that passing by Yue Ning Yuan just now and meeting the lame eunuch was accidental, it was still a little possible, and now the lame eunuch was approaching her step by step, and the speed did not decrease at all, it could not be accidental.

Fortunately, there was Cuizhuyuan in front of him, and he ran back quickly and locked the courtyard door, thinking that he would not break into Cuizhuyuan, so he ran quickly when he had a plan in his heart.

People always choke on saliva when they are unlucky, and a huge pebble emerges out of thin air on the smooth path, which unfortunately she stepped on, ignoring the pain in her ankles, and desperately ran towards the courtyard gate where the lights were lit.

The two limping figures were in front of each other, the one in front was obviously a little exhausted, and the distance between the two was slowly narrowing.

Dragging the very weak left foot, he finally came to the front of the courtyard gate, and the lock that was originally placed at the courtyard gate was gone, and he didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly pushed the door in.

I can't push it away, I can't open it when I push it, and I push hard to hit myself in pain. How could the courtyard door be locked inside, and who else would come to Cuizhuyuan besides her? Still locking the courtyard door?

Don't think about it, the lame eunuch is already in front of him, the figure that stopped is still floating up and down regularly on his shoulders, Cao Ran has never felt that the surroundings of Cuizhuyuan are so quiet, so quiet that he can hear his panting sound, he must also be tired and exhausted, otherwise why is he holding a rope in his hand not a rope but a dagger, Cao Ran feels that it is more sensible to use a rope, if she inserts a knife into her body, she will definitely scream in pain, so the tragic sound will always be heard by others, isn't it extraneous.

The cool breeze blew the lamps and candles under the plaque of the courtyard gate, the lights swayed from side to side, and the lame eunuch approached step by step with a short dagger in his hand, and said with a hideous smile: "Cao Ran, what are you running?" ”

Cao Ran was just about to run away and stumbled to the ground, the stones under her waist were so that she couldn't speak, and when she raised her eyes, she just threw herself at the feet of the lame eunuch, and was dumbfounded at the moment, is this the day to kill me!

Cao Ran pretended to be calm, thinking that since she was so unlucky, there was probably no way out, so it was better to have a good time. Bravely looked directly at his gaze and said: "Mama Li will come over to bring me food every day, if you do it here, she will definitely find out that I was killed soon, I went to Yuening Garden today with the permission of King Qi and Mama Li, how do you explain it then?" ”

The lame eunuch looked at the short dagger in his hand, fiddling left and right: "You don't bother with this, you see that I am not an ordinary dagger, it is made of ivory, and the marks left by piercing your body with it are like being bitten by a wild beast, they will only think that you were killed by a snow wolf, and there will be no other suspicions at all." ”

Cao Ran sneered a few times and said, "Chun Liangdi is really thoughtful, she wants to solve me before I return to Cuizhuyuan, and she thinks about my future so quickly, are you so afraid that I will tell her secret?" But how do you know that I didn't tell anyone before I went to Lan Xin? As he spoke, he had found a gravel behind him without noticing, and if he dared to take a step closer, she would have made him pay the same terrible price.

"Hmph, if you say anything, it will only make other people's fate as miserable as yours." The lame eunuch's eyes were cold, and he was not distracted by Cao Ran's words at all.

He swung his dagger and stabbed at her.

"Squeak" The courtyard door was opened, and two women walked out, and the woman in white was supported by the maidservant girl next to her, her steps were extremely light, if it weren't for the courtyard door open Cao Ran didn't know where they came from.

"What are you doing here?" The woman in white spoke softly, walked slowly, and looked up and down at Cao Ran on the ground and the lame eunuch with fierce eyes on the opposite side.

The lame eunuch forced a smile and put away the dagger in his hand: "Miss Cao Ran has broken her foot, and I was trying to help her up so that I could send her back." ”

Cao Ran couldn't help but admire the lame eunuch's response to the scene, if she did such a shameful thing and was caught, she didn't know how to explain it if she didn't panic, but everyone has their own ambitions, and she would never do such a thing that violates her conscience.

It is impossible for the woman in white not to see the dagger in the hand of the lame eunuch, unless she is blind. But she didn't continue to ask, and took a closer look at the injury on Cao Ran's ankle: "It's true that I broke my foot, why don't you go to my hospital and apply some medicine first, I have the most complete medicine here to ensure that you can get effect immediately." ”

The woman in white smiled and nodded to Cao Ran, signaling her to believe in herself.

Cao Ran held the hand stretched out by the woman in white, soft and slightly cool, and thanked, "Thank you, girl." ”

The lame eunuch didn't give up, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Don't disturb Miss Qinglian's rest, let the servants send Cao Ran back to Cuizhuyuan, if you disturb the girl's body, Your Highness will definitely blame." ”

Cao Ran was a little surprised when she heard Qinglian's name, and looked at Qinglian carefully from top to bottom, she was not outstanding in appearance, she did not have the gorgeous appearance of the princess, nor was she as delicate and pretentious as Chun Liangdi, with slender eyebrows, Danfeng eyes with internal hooks and external curls, and she couldn't see her complexion clearly in the dim light, but she thought about it.

Qinglian ignored the lame eunuch, and helped Cao Ran, who was standing on one foot, to walk towards the courtyard gate, and the maidservant closed the courtyard door behind her and locked it, leaving the lame eunuch full of resentment outside the door. She couldn't kill Cao Ran today, and if she said something to Qinglian that shouldn't be said, things wouldn't be so simple. He was an old man in the house, and he knew that if the same words came out of Qinglian's mouth, even if there was no basis, he would still make His Highness believe it. I wanted to chase her to Cuizhuyuan and then kill her, and then create the illusion of being killed by the snow wolf, but who knew that this girl took the wrong road and turned the wrong corner, but she ran into Qinglian again.

When Cao Ran walked into the courtyard door, he saw the three words Huanju room, and he knew that he was on the wrong path, no wonder he walked a cobblestone path with Mama Li last time, and today he didn't know when he stepped on the smooth path paved with bluestone and came to Qinglian's residence.
