It was already dusk, and Wang Du had just stepped into the emperor's Chengyang Palace before his feet, and the second lady followed him into the palace. However, she went to the inner courtyard of the harem and went straight to Concubine An's bedroom.

In the Chang'an Palace, the concubine had just had dinner, half-lying on the soft couch with her eyes closed, and the maids on the side were carefully waiting, beating her legs and gently rubbing the acupuncture points on her head.

The maid Liuli was on the side and reported the recent situation in a soft voice.

"Huh?" An Guifei snorted a voice in her nose, opened her eyes again and smiled and said, "Xiao Tiyun died of poisonous wine?" That's right, it saves me a lot of trouble. ”

She changed her position comfortably, her heart was comfortable, and her head didn't seem to hurt so much.

At this moment, someone came in from outside the door and said, "Niangniang, the second lady is here, saying that she has something urgent to tell you." ”

"It's really getting more and more unruly, so this time is coming?" An Guifei felt a burst of disgust in her heart, and said with a look of disgust, "Please let her in." ”

Seeing the second lady enter the inner room of the palace, she hurriedly came to Concubine An's couch and saluted, looking anxious like an ant on a pot.

Seeing that she looked anxious and nervous, Concubine An raised a gentle smile and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" It's dark, and you still come to me, if the emperor knows, he will inevitably reprimand him again. ”

The second lady frowned and said, "Niangniang, I just accidentally learned that Xiao Tiyun is not dead, she just made the golden cicada out of her shell and faked her death." ”

An Guifei was shocked when she heard this, and immediately sat up, looking incredulous, "Where did you find out where did you hear the news, but what you said is true?" ”

"I went to Watanoin today, and I was thinking about discussing the matter of the Rokujuan with him. Just at the door, he was overheard talking to another man. The second lady whispered, "I don't know what medicine Xiao Tiyun gave to our family...... I heard Watayuki say that he had arranged for her to be housed in a suburban garden, and that he would give her a new identity afterwards. ”

Concubine An secretly pondered for another moment, and muttered, "I have never heard that people can be resurrected after death...... But just in case, it's better to keep a hand. ”

When I heard the news, I didn't believe it at first, but I thought it would be better to believe it than to believe it...... That's why I came to tell my mother. The second lady said.

"Do you know where they are talking about?" An Guifei asked.

"Isn't it the villa on the outskirts of Xing'anmen, not far from the edge of the Yuhe...... Watayuki took me there to recuperate for a while. The second lady replied.

"You go back first, I have my own plans." Concubine An Guifei dismissed the second lady.

As soon as the second lady left, Liuli ordered the maids who were waiting for the concubine to go down. She squatted down and said coldly to Concubine An with an expressionless face, "Niangniang just let the second lady go?" ”

Concubine An Guifei looked at her suspiciously, and Liuli said again, "If Xiao Tiyun's fake death is true, Niangniang is one of the insiders." In the future, if the East Window incident happens, and the second lady confesses to you, what do you say you will do? ”

"You're right, I haven't considered this layer yet......" Concubine An frowned and thought about it, and said in a low voice with a vicious look in her eyes, "Then think of a way to shut her up forever." ”

"You can do it, I can't trust others." Concubine An Guifei instructed Liuli, "I also have to inform Lu Gaoqiu, let his people be more vigilant, and once they find the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, follow them all the way and wait for an opportunity to attack......"

She can't let Xiao Tiyun live, otherwise her heart will never be at peace.

Liuli was about to withdraw after receiving the order, when An Guifei stopped her again, "Wait a minute." ”

"Tell Yun'an the news...... This is something she should be most interested in. Concubine An had a plan in her heart, and a trace of calculation and viciousness flashed in her eyes.

Here, the second lady had just left the Chang'an Palace, and the girl at the door walked behind her. The two went out of the harem together, and got into the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the carriage ran all the way through the aisle and out of the palace gate.

Not long after leaving the palace gate, on the avenue at the palace gate, the horse suddenly started to gallop back and forth in the aisle.

The second lady and the maiden in the carriage screamed, and the coachman desperately grabbed the reins and tried to reassure the horse. But this is something that someone did on purpose, where can I hold it.

In a frenzied jolt and concussion, the horse crashed headlong into the side of the wall, and the whole carriage overturned, swept the ground and threw it out, crashing into the virtuous pillar at the gate of the palace.

All the people in the carriage died on the spot, and none of them survived. The blood slowly pooled from the bottom of the carriage and gradually flowed out, dripping around the base of the pillar.

Take a closer look, the pillar stone reads "benevolent and virtuous". Fortunately, it was in the dark of night, and it didn't look dazzling.

Almost at the same time, Lu Gaoqiu received an order from the Chang'an Palace, and was rushing to the gate of Xing'an in Kyoto at this time, and soon arrived at the gate of the city, riding a horse with a guard, and hiding in the dark.

At night, when it was time to take Tiyun from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the coachman carefully drove the carriage all the way to Xing'anmen.

The guards beside Lu Gaoqiu were about to rush forward when they saw it, but Lu Gaoqiu pressed his shoulder, "Wait a little longer, the Lord of Yun'an County is here." ”

If Yun An wants to take the first step, if she can kill Xiao Tiyun, then there is no need for Lu Gaoqiu to take the risk and save a lot of trouble.

This is what Concubine An meant.

When the time came, after showing the waist card warrant of the middle admonition, the guards at the city gate let them go. After a while, Yun An rode out of the corner, looked at the direction where the carriage left with heavy eyes, raised his whip and chased after him.

Lu Gaoqiu smiled. Sure enough, as the concubine expected, after hearing the news that Xiao Tiyun might not be dead, Yun An would naturally come.

It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist. Let's make sure once, if Xiao Tiyun dies, of course, it's best, and they won't have any losses. If Xiao Tiyun is still alive, then help her, let her die again, and go to the underworld to meet the king of Hades.

After another moment, in the dark night, Lu Gaoqiu stretched out his hand in the moonlight, and the guards behind him poured out. He grabbed his horse's belly and hurried to the city gate, where the guards saluted and opened the door for them to all go out.

The lights in the middle of the palace were brightly lit, and more than a dozen people sat at the square table studying the laws and regulations, and there were constantly servants shuttling back and forth with books and bamboo slips. Wang Duzhi led a group of people to step up the handling of a case under his hands, and at this time, a little eunuch hurriedly came in.

Wang Duzhi buried his head in the book, discussing with everyone how to change the words of the verdict of the case. He didn't even raise his head, and he didn't pay any attention to the eunuch who came in to report.

"Lord Zhongshu, your mother's carriage hit the pillar stone at the gate of the palace, please hurry up and take a look." The little eunuch was hunched over, and his face was full of anxiety.

When Wang Duzhi heard this, he seemed to be stunned for a moment before slowly turning around, "What did you say?" ”

After that, he hurriedly packed up for a while, and followed the little eunuch away.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw many guards holding torches, all surrounding the edge of the virtuous pillar stone. The little eunuch beside him raised his voice and said, "Lord Zhongshu has arrived!" ”

The guards immediately moved out of the way, and Wang Duzhi walked over to take a look. His mother, a maid, and the coachman's bodies were placed side by side, and the two doctors and a servant were discussing something.

Wang Duzhi's eyes turned red on the spot, and he cast an inquiring glance at one of the imperial doctors.

Receiving his gaze, Imperial Physician Zhou Ziheng turned his head and shook his head at him.

He died on the spot of the accident, and there was no possibility of treatment.

Wang Duzhi hurriedly walked to the side of the second lady's corpse, lowered his eyes and saw that his mother's head had been knocked open a slit, and his eyes were open as if he was very frightened. The corpse was still gushing blood, forming a small circle of blood at his feet.

He couldn't bear to look at it, so he knelt down with his eyes closed and his legs curled, and cried loudly, "Mother——! My son is too late for unfilial piety! ”

"Your Excellency, please mourn." At this time, Zhou Ziheng came over and squatted down and lowered his eyes and said, "Madame's death is strange, we are still further verifying." ”

"What?" Wang Duzhi raised his head when he heard this, "Strange? ”

"Hmm." Zhou Ziheng frowned, and said to the dead horse on the side, "The three of them did die by accident, but that horse ......"

Wang Duzhi wiped his tears and looked at the puppet again.

Li Weiqing nodded at Wang Duzhi and replied, "I preliminarily determined that someone had done something on the horse's hooves, but I couldn't find any traces of trauma or drugs. ”

"Whoever this man is, I will find out...... The revenge of killing your mother must be avenged! Wang Duzhi trembled as he spoke, and his fists clenched in anger.

The body of the second lady was cleaned up, and Wang Duzhi followed him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and placed his mother's body in her own room.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Pu and Rumo were asleep, and they got up immediately when they heard this change. The girls in the prime minister's mansion immediately gathered in the second lady's room, and there was another burst of crying.

At this time, Wang Pu pulled Rumo in, and Rumo couldn't help crying after a glance from a distance. Although there was no harmony between the two rooms, such a scene reminded her of Tiyun's death, and she couldn't help but feel sad again.

Wang Duzhi told the two of them the truth of the matter, but he did not say the doubts in his heart, nor did he mention the "strange" thing that Zhou Ziheng and Li Weiqing said before.

Wang Pu's face turned red when he heard this, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "I'm sorry brother." ”

"Uncle doesn't have to be sad, it happened unexpectedly, and no one expected it...... This is not the sinfulness of the uncle. Wang Duzhi was very heartbroken, but he comforted Wang Pu instead.

After dealing with his mother's aftermath, Wang Duzhi returned to the house and cried out in pain.

His mother forced him to make many reluctant choices, to impose her will on him, and to make him miserable. Although he hates his mother, he is also his own mother in the final analysis, after all, he has been dependent on each other for so many years, and suddenly he can't accept it.

After a while, he suppressed his grief, and realized that it was time and Tiyun to set off. Only then did he remember their plan for tonight, so he wiped his tears and hurriedly called Xizhu to prepare a carriage for himself.
