Chapter Seventy-Three: The Inn Asks for His Life
"Mrs. Xun? I haven't heard of this person before, and which new concubine is it? Murong Qing wondered.
"Speaking of this Mrs. Xun, many people don't know, because she always gives people the impression of being indifferent to the world, and rarely shows her face, if it is really her, then she is really terrible, hidden for so many years, and her scheming is unfathomable." Lin Qingzhi's eyes flowed, and there was a slight worry in her eyes.
"Aren't all the women in the palace like this? In order to compete for favor, all means are used. Murong Qing said noncommittally.
"This Mrs. Xun is different, she is the mother of Xiao Muheng, the fourth son of the emperor, who has been unknown in the palace for so many years, not indisputable, only with the queen mother to concentrate on cultivating Buddhism, and won the love of the queen mother, after the emperor grew older, he was dissatisfied with the queen's domineering, and because the Wang relatives were suppressed and the queen was more suspicious, I heard that this Mrs. Xun and the former queen Li looked quite similar, and the temperament was gentle, and the emperor relied on her very much in the past two years. And after the emperor suppressed the Wang family, it was even more taboo for the power of foreign relatives, Mrs. Xun felt that the people who directly supported the Xun family were too eye-catching, and most of the Xun family were in her maiden Yunyang, so she supported Jin Dingkang, the brother-in-law, if I expected to be right, most of the silver obtained from these copper mines went into the Xun family's pocket, as for what the money was used for, I can't say now. However, the son is more expensive than the mother, and this king of faith will be weakened after the New Year, and it is not known that he will be directly crowned a prince at that time. Lin Qingzhi stood in front of the window and said to Murong Qing, saying so much in one breath, she gasped slightly, and covered her mouth with a pal and coughed twice.
Looking at Lin Qingzhi carefully under the light, he saw that he was getting thinner and thinner, Murong Qing couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and said worriedly: "You shouldn't have been thinking about these things in the court these days, right?" ”
Lin Qingzhi slowly walked to the table and sat down, smiled lightly, and said in a low voice: "I can't help but think, after all, why did Liu Zhiyuan frame his father, why Xu Chu, who had followed his father for so many years, also turned against him at a critical moment, why did Dongying's people frame his father unwarrantedly, and why did he even ...... He is going to stab me with a sword, is my enemy the emperor, or the queen and the prince, or Mrs. Xun, or even ...... He? If you don't figure these things out, how can you be worthy of your dead father and my life. ”
Lin Qingzhi looked at the oil lamp on the table, her eyes calm and sad.
Murong Qing had a distressed look in her eyes, her family was ruined, and even the person she loved and trusted the most gave her a sword, and it was too cruel for a weak woman to be able to say these things directly to face the next crisis.
Lin Qingzhi saw Murong Qing's pity and distress, her autumn-like eyes flowed slightly, raised her thin but pretty chin without losing her lines, stroked her abdomen and said in a relaxed tone: "Senior brother doesn't have to worry about me, I have my own measure, besides, I don't think about him now, I don't think about my body, I also have to think about him, I won't let myself have anything." ”
"If only you knew." Murong Qing smiled gently at Lin Qingzhi.
Wulu took the hot water, Lily pushed the door into with two futons, Murong Qing also got up and returned to the next room, after washing, Lin Qingzhi and Yi lay on the bed, Wulu and Lily lay down on the ground next to them, because Lin Qingzhi, Wulu and Lily said that Jinding Kangding would send someone to seek revenge tonight, and deliberately let both of them take the seven-colored violet pill, so the two of them were also vigilant.
Maybe this day was too tired, Lin Qingzhi fell asleep in a daze.
In the dead of night, silence returned to the town, and only the snowflakes fell silently.
Yunfu Inn has three floors, the first floor is a place to eat, and the second and third floors are mainly rooms for guests to stay overnight.
The number of guests in the night gradually decreased, and when the last wave of diners also left, after cleaning up, Xiao Er sat at the counter, dozing off with one arm on his crooked cheek, and his head was like a chicken pecking rice little by little.
Suddenly, Xiao Er felt a chill in his neck, opened his sleepy eyelids, and saw six black-clothed people in front of him, staring at him with fierce eyes, and was about to scream, when his neck tightened, and a cold voice came, "Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you!" ”
When Xiao Er saw the knife on his neck, the cold light was shining, and he couldn't help but tremble in fright, and pursed his mouth tightly, lest he accidentally make a sound and lose his life.
"Is there a group of merchants staying tonight?"
Xiao Er nodded in response.
"Which room does the man and woman live in?"
Xiao Er pointed upstairs with his finger, his voice trembling as if he was about to cry, and whispered, "Female...... Female in the day... Tianzi room, men's live... Residential number room. ”
The man in black showed a satisfied expression, and then said fiercely: "If you don't want your whole family to die, don't say a word!" ”
Xiao Er couldn't stop trembling, nodded again and again, covered his mouth with his hands, and waited for the six men in black to go upstairs and rolled under the table.
Due to the snow, the night was not too dark, Murong Qing blew the lamp, and his clothes reclined on the bed, staring out the door.
Suddenly, several black shadows crept closer, and gently cut the oiled paper on the lattice on the door with their knives. A sneer rose at the corner of Murong Qing's mouth, and he only looked at them quietly.
I saw the oil paper pierced, a red dot stretched in, a few wisps of smoke drifted away, and then several figures moved in the direction of the next room.
After about a stick of incense, I heard a clang, and the door of Lin Qingzhi's room next door was knocked open, Lin Qingzhi suddenly woke up and sat up, only to see that Wuzhi had already pounced in front of her and hugged her, and Lily fought with several people.
When Murong Qing heard the movement, he immediately turned over and got out of bed, and called several guards in the room to rush into Lin Qingzhi's room together.
A few people in black didn't expect that these people were obviously poisoned by the incense, and they could still fight with luck, and their martial arts were far higher than expected, they were not at all within the reach of a few of them, they underestimated the enemy, so within ten rounds, a few people were subdued.
Wu Yu lit the lamp, in order to prevent disturbing others, the six black-clothed people were stuffed with paper balls in their mouths, Lin Qingzhi was draped in a white coat, her eyes swept over a few people coldly, sneered, and said indifferently: "Say, who sent you." ”
Several people didn't speak, Lin Qingzhi took out the saber on Murong Qing's waist next to him, the snowy sword light was cold under the light, and stared at the leader with a smile: "Don't speak, okay, I'll see how hard your bones are!" With that, a sword stabbed into the thigh of the man in black, and the man in black let out a sound of pain, but the paper ball in his mouth could only make a whining sound, and Yin Yin's blood flowed out, staining the long sword red.
Lin Qingzhi said coldly: "Since I can catch you, there is a way to make your life worse than death, don't you want to tell the truth, Wuzhi, bring the seven insects and seven pollen, as long as they are used, within seven hours, they will die of rotten stomach!" ”
The six men in black had a look of horror in their eyes, and they all shook their heads and whined.
Lin Qingzhi pulled out the paper ball in the mouths of the two, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes, bent down and said with a light smile: "Have you thought about it?" Can it be said? ”
