Chapter 478:-for-tat
"Are you a human or a ghost? Don't play tricks on me here! Lao Tzu has been frightened since he was a child. Bao Xiangru said, taking the soft sword and taking a step back.
The masked man took another step forward, the corners of his mouth curled in a very wicked arc.
I don't know what he's thinking at this moment, but I always feel that his smile is full of lethality, just a light smile like that can make people feel creepy.
Bao Xiangru swallowed his saliva and stared at him tightly, the cold sweat on his forehead continued to fall from the tip of his hair, until his mouth, his heart was beating so hard that he almost jumped to his throat, staring at the man in front of him, his steps seemed a little weak.
As soon as Zhong Yihan made a move, he quickly picked up the soft sword in his hand and confronted him, on this side the two were facing each other, and on the other side, the Praetorian Guards were dispatched up and down, always looking for the assassin.
The emperor was particularly concerned about this matter, so he announced that Hua Ziming had entered the palace early in the morning, and he had to find the assassin no matter what.
A night passed, and the Praetorian Guards, tired all night, still did not find any trace of this assassin, presumably still in the palace, and did not go anywhere.
As soon as Hua Ziming came to the palace, he first saw Lu Xiyi and asked about Zhong Yihan's situation, Lu Xiyi sat aside, and said with a depressed expression: "He didn't come back last night, and I don't know where he went." ”
Lu Xiyi's tone was tinged with a touch of sorrow, and he looked at the energetic and refreshed Hua Ziming and said: "I haven't seen General Hua these days, and I have really become a little more handsome." ”
"You must know where the persimmons went, and if not, you wouldn't have teased me so easily, would you?"
Hua Ziming didn't care about her rhetoric at all, Lu Xiyi broke the gong, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the young general, the young general might as well go to Concubine Wei's palace to find someone first, and see which palace and which house have fewer people, you can ask them to find out and ask."
This makes it possible to deduce who the Assassin is. ”
After Hua Ziming heard this, he clenched his fists and left Lu Xiyi's sight, and Lu Xiyi was waiting for this moment, and when people searched Concubine Wei's palace, Concubine Wei said that she would not let them count the number of people, and she also took out the shelf of the concubine Niangniang.
And at this time, Concubine Li appeared, she twisted her bewitching steps and walked in front of Concubine Wei and said: "There are assassins in my sister's palace, and people are panicked up and down, sister, I'm really worried that you will be used by gangsters in this palace, so it's good to send more people to come over to find it, doesn't my sister want to ignore my sister's affection?" ”
Concubine Wei stared at Concubine Li Guifei in front of her, when did she become two-faced, she was kind enough to give her a sachet a few days ago, and today she brought so many people to search her palace, it is clear that she has no good intentions.
She had to grit her teeth and endure a step, let everyone search for it, Li Guifei looked at Gonggong Kun on the side, and said: "Gonggong Kun went to gather all the eunuchs and palace maids in Concubine Wei's palace, and counted whether the number of people matched the roster. ”
Gonggong Kun nodded yes, and then went to the wide backyard and gathered everyone together.
Gonggong Kun moistened his throat and coughed lightly, looking at everyone's faces more or less panicked, so he pinched his throat and said to everyone: "Don't panic, the miscellaneous family will come to the pair of people, and also, which of you were together yesterday and which of you were not together, all stand in different directions, miscellaneous, you have to take a good inventory." ”
Concubine Wei stood beside Concubine Li Guifei, frowned puzzled, and said, "My sister has never worried about these things, even the queen mother has never been to the palace to check the number of people, is my sister's privileges more and more?" ”
Li Guifei gently wiped the corners of her mouth with the handkerchief in her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, what are you talking about, I actually did all this to make the harem more peaceful, the assassin is not small, I heard that the assassin scared Liu Jieyu, Aunt Liu has not gotten up from the palace until now."
What a big deal this is, my sister is just thinking about my sister's safety, my sister must not think of my sister as a femme fatale, that sister is too wronged. Li Guifei said, pretending to be weak and helpless.
This made Concubine Wei feel dumb, and after everyone checked the name, Gonggong Kun stepped forward and handed a roster to Concubine Li Guifei and said, "That Gonggong Bao seems to have disappeared last night and hasn't come back yet." ”
After hearing this, Concubine Li moved her gaze to Concubine Wei's face, and said curiously: "That father-in-law is so familiar, isn't the father-in-law I saw that day, but he is a very clever person, where did he go at night?" ”
Concubine Wei turned her head away from her hot eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "How can this palace know that this palace is not related to him, he has only come to the palace a few times, and where he went, this palace doesn't know anything." ”
"Is that so? Concubine Wei really doesn't know where the little eunuch went, what unusual behavior does the little eunuch do on weekdays? ”
Concubine Wei glanced at her extremely impatiently and said: "Okay, Concubine Niangniang, don't interrogate this palace like interrogating your subordinates, this palace doesn't know anything, the gate of this palace is not out of the second door, and they don't know much about these eunuchs and palace maids, and it is their freedom to go wherever they want."
The palace has palace rules, and they should be able to understand it. ”
Concubine Wei returned to the main courtyard after speaking, Concubine Li Guifei followed behind her, and then turned her head and told Gonggong Kun to hand over the roster to Lu Xiyi and the emperor first.
Wait for the emperor to know about this matter before dealing with it, and in the Fengluan Hall on the other side, the queen also heard about it, but she didn't expect that Concubine Li Guifei would directly take someone to search Concubine Wei's palace, but she hadn't even gotten her permission yet.
It seems that Li Guifei and Lu Xiyi have become more and more rampant after being together, are you still thinking about taking his place one day?
The queen mother was so angry that her chest rose and fell, and the palace maid next to her stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, this is the newly made bird's nest porridge in the imperial dining room, you can taste it quickly, it can nourish and nourish yin." As soon as the queen saw the bowl of bird's nest porridge, she was angry and waved her hand and pushed it aside.
The palace maid next to her was so frightened that she didn't dare to gasp, and her heart was about to rise to her throat, so she hurriedly knelt on the side, knocked her head a few times, and obediently cleaned up the bowl.
At this time, Mama Gui stepped forward and angrily scolded the palace maids, "You can't do such a trivial thing, you are clumsy, don't get out quickly!" The palace maids nodded frequently, and after packing up their things, they left the Fengluan Hall without saying a word.
Mama Gui stepped forward, and her tone was almost the same as just now.
