Chapter 64: The Surprise Strike

Miss Liu pinched her chin with her fingertips, her eyes as clear as lake water narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth sneered.

"What is Miss thinking?" Hua Ying asked as she offered her tea.

Miss Liu put down her hand and smiled, "It's nothing." ”

She stood up, and she didn't take a sip of the tea served by Hua Ying, and said, "Come with me to the library in the house." ”

Hua Ying hurriedly said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"What else can you do when you go to the library, of course, it's to read books." Miss Liu dropped a sentence calmly, lifted her skirt and walked to the door.

On the way to the library, on the grass in the garden, a pink-clothed maid was chasing the leash of a soft puppy.

Miss Liu glanced over and knew that the dog was the pet that the second lady Wang cared for.

The pink-clothed maid was anxious and panicked, and she couldn't catch the dog leash, which made Miss Liu laugh in her heart.

Hua Ying looked at the same time, covering her mouth and chuckling.

"Fool, you can't catch a dog." Miss Liu couldn't help but sneer.

Hua Ying glanced at Miss Liu gloomily, a little surprised at her being so indifferent.

Just when Hua Ying was stunned, no one expected that the dog suddenly pounced on Miss Liu.

The pink-clad maid exclaimed.

The sound of subtle movements is faint.

When Hua Ying stared clearly, she saw that Miss Liu stretched out her hand to block the vicious momentum of the hairy dog, and Miss Liu's hand was clasping the dog's neck.

A pair of slender fingers let go under the gaze of the pink-clothed maid and Hua Ying, and the hairy dog fell to the ground and died.

The smile on Miss Liu's face became colder and colder, and the jade hands that were stagnant in mid-air slowly converged.

The pink-clothed maid's exclamation attracted a number of people from the palace to come and watch, and everyone present was surprised by what they saw in front of them.

A heart-rending scream sounded, and this voice was not made by Hua Ying, but by the pink-clothed maid standing in front of her.

"The second lady's dog died, this is miserable." When the pink-clothed maid said this, she couldn't help but be afraid that Miss Liu would look at her like a general. I was really shocked and unacceptable to her shot just now.

And the culprit was smiling gently at this moment, taking out his handkerchief and gently wiping his hands.

So calmly and calmly, as if everything was not her just now.

The subordinates who met in the place were all stunned, and no one wanted to believe that Miss Liu, a weak woman, was not only not afraid, but also strangled the dog to death. Could this be the work of a weak woman?

When Miss Liu walked away regardless of everyone's looks, Yun Xiu walked over, and he heard the screams and walked over. He didn't see Miss Liu make a move, but he saw the dead dog lying at Miss Liu's feet.

"Ji'er, what's wrong?"

Yun Xiu approached her and asked hurriedly.

The pink-clothed maid turned pale with fright, her lips trembled, her body trembled, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Demon!

No.. ..... is not only a demon, she is a devil, she is a devil from hell!

The maid was so frightened by Miss Liu just now that she lost her mind.

Miss Liu looked calmly at the pink-clothed maid with soft feet on the ground.

Hua Ying seemed to be shocked by Miss Liu's viciousness just now, and she didn't come back to her senses. When Yun Xiu asked, she suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly explained, "The second lady's dog pounced on Miss Table just now, Miss ......"

Hua Ying didn't say any more, and glanced at Miss Liu.

Miss Liu looked unusually indifferent as if she hadn't done it.

Yun Xiu's first reaction was that she was injured by a dog, and hurriedly asked, "Ji'er, you weren't hurt by a dog, were you?" ”

Miss Liu spat out two words on her lips beautifully, "No." "Relaxed and casual, with a sense of color.

Yun Xiu lowered his head and looked at the dead dog again, puzzled, "Dog...... Did you really kill it? He looked up in disbelief, frowning.

Miss Liu was very clear-headed, and replied to him with one word, "Yes." ”

Yun Xiu's eyes were filled with consternation.

Qing'er strangled the dog with his bare hands, how much strength should he have. Obviously, she should be able to do martial arts.

"Do you know martial arts?" He frowned suspiciously, in his impression, how could she have martial arts.

"No, it won't." Miss Liu lowered her eyes, and her whole body exuded a coldness from hell.

Yun Xiu's brows tightened even more, completely unconvinced.

"What a coincidence." Miss Liu added again, explaining herself in general.

Yun Xiu was silent for a moment, didn't ask any more, and waved his hand to the many people in the house who were watching the play, "It's all gone, this dog is just going to die by himself, no wonder Miss Biao." ”

The pink-clothed maid had already stood up from the ground, and after Yun Xiu said this, she hurriedly said, "How can the second lady get back there?" She was asking Yun Xiu.

Yun Xiu looked at her, "Young Master Ben will explain to Mother. ”

The pink-clothed maid bowed and walked away.

Miss Liu is also leaving again.

Yun Xiu hurriedly asked, "Where is Ji'er?" ”

Miss Liu didn't look back and said, "Read the book in the library." ”

After she finished speaking, she ignored Yun Xiu and walked directly, and Hua Ying hurriedly followed.

Yun Xiu stayed in place, looking at the dead dog on the ground in a daze, and then called the companion who had already walked over, "Bury the dog." ”

Yan Wei stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Miss Biao is really incredible." ”

Yun Xiu's face was expressionless and silent.

~~~~~~~~

"Yun Xiu, you defend your memory like this, everyone said that it was the dog she killed as her mother." The second lady, Wang, heard that her favorite dog had died, and she said coldly to Yun Xiu.

Wang's face was kind, but his tone was cold.

"If it's dead, it's dead, but it's just a dog, and the son will find a good dog for his mother next time." Yun Xiu said lazily.

Wang sneered, "You kiss me more or kiss that Liu Piaoyi." ”

"It's all a family, no distinction between you and me." Yun Xiu smiled.

Wang patted the table, his face was not good, "The family is also divided, not to mention that she is just a distant relative of the eldest lady, and she is not a person in this prime minister's mansion at all." ”

Yun Xiu was not happy.

"Mother, how did I offend you, you don't like her like this." Yun Xiu really didn't understand.

There is a reason why the Wang family doesn't like Liu Piaoyi.

When Liu Piaoyi came to the Prime Minister's Mansion from Yecheng, at that time, because her parents had just died, she felt uncomfortable, and she didn't speak when she saw anyone.

Once, Wang gently called Liu Piaoyi who was passing by, not only should she not make a sound, but she also acted as if she hadn't seen it. There is no respect for the elders at all.

And that time, Liu Piao's mind was full of wandering, and he didn't notice the second lady at all, so he didn't hear her call.

Because of this, Wang still doesn't like Liu Piaoyi very much in his heart. But the eldest lady is spoiled, and her face is still friendly to Liu Piao.

After thinking of this, Wang replied to Yunxiu in a cold voice, "I didn't say I didn't like her, it's just that she did something wrong and killed her mother's beloved dog, so I didn't apologize, let you explain." ”

Yun Xiu immediately said, "My son was also present at the time, and my son told you that it was okay." ”

Wang chuckled, "This is why she is a cousin who doesn't understand the distinction between etiquette and respect, and doesn't take her mother in her eyes at all." ”

Yun Xiu took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Mother is too serious, Ji'er is not such a person." ”

Wang chuckled, "Fortunately, that Miss Cousin doesn't like you, otherwise it would be a headache for my mother." ”

Hearing this, Yun Xiu suddenly felt lost, stood up suddenly, and walked out in an unhappy mood.

Wang watched Yun Xiu leave in surprise, frowning.

~~~~~~~~

Cishou Temple, one of the nine gates of the inner city of Beijing, is a noble temple built for the Empress Dowager Li by the royal family in the fourth year of Wanli.

Emperor Wanli's biological mother, Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, for the Ming God Sect, and for his mother Li, the Empress Dowager of the Holy Emperor.

Empress Dowager Li respects the Buddha and believes in the Buddha, and every first day of the new year, she will go to Cishou Temple to eat fasting and chant the Buddha for a few days, and bless the Ming Dynasty and the people to be safe.

On the first day of the seventh month, it was the first day of the month, and the day for the Empress Dowager Li to eat fasting and recite the Buddha had come again.

On this day, the people who accompanied the Queen Mother to chant Buddha, except for the Empress Dowager Li, were the only ones who protected the safety of Jinyiwei.

And on this day, the commander of the Jinyi Guard often accompanied the protection of the safety of the Queen Mother, and would not leave the Cishou Temple in these days.

Jian Xiu is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and such a responsibility cannot be slackened. He followed the young Wanli Emperor and went to the Empress Dowager Li's bedroom.

When meeting with the Empress Dowager Li and discussing the people accompanying her this time, Jian Xiu listened carefully to the conversation between the Empress Dowager and the emperor.

Empress Dowager Li named Feng Siying, the adopted daughter of the factory governor, to go with her, because she was frightened when she heard that Feng Siying had been missing for two days, and asked her to worship in front of the Buddha, so that the Buddha could bless her life with peace.

It's not that there are no other Buddhist temples in the capital, but this Cishou Temple is a royal Buddhist temple, a Buddhist temple frequented by the Queen Mother, and it has incomparable dignity.

After the Queen Mother mentioned Feng Siying, Jian Xiu saluted the invitation, "Queen Mother, can the minister also recommend someone to go with him?" ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled kindly at him, "Oh, when did Jian Xiu recommend someone too." ”

In Empress Dowager Li's heart, Jian Xiu has never been too close to anyone, let alone who to recommend.

The relationship between Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Taiju is not ordinarily good, Zhang Taiju is the emperor of Emperor Wanli, and he is also the person who conspires with Empress Dowager Li to discuss national affairs, and the relationship is extraordinary. The Zhang family is also quite attentive in the heart of Empress Dowager Li.

Jian Xiu arched his hands and said, "Can the minister recommend letting the minister's cousin Liu Piaoyi accompany the queen mother?" ”

Empress Dowager Li thought about it for a while and suddenly remembered, "Oh, the mourning family remembers, the cousin Liu Piaoyi that Jian Xiu said is the daughter of the former Liu Xianfu, the governor of Luoding Prefecture?" ”

Jian Xiu hurriedly responded, "Yes." ”

Empress Dowager Li sighed lightly, "Liu Xianfu's death, the mourning family is also very sad, the murderer has not been captured yet, Jian Xiu, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, this matter can no longer be delayed." ”

Jian Xiu replied busily again, "The minister will definitely not relax and arrest those murderers who killed Lord Liu Zhizhou as soon as possible." ”

Empress Dowager Li sighed again, "Liu Piaoyi is also very pitiful, I heard that her mother also went?" ”

"Yes." ”

Empress Dowager Li said to Jian Xiu in a deep voice, "That day, I also asked her to accompany the mourning family and kowtow a few more times in front of the Buddha." ”

Jian Xiu's face overflowed with a smile, and he hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

It is an honor to be able to accompany the Queen Mother to eat fasting and chant Buddha, and I want Miss Liu to also get involved in the Buddha of Cishou Temple. Let the Buddha protect her from illness and health.

At this time, the emperor said, "The queen mother has decided on the candidate, then I will let people pass on the message." ”

Empress Dowager Li nodded, "Okay, just the two of them." ”

After the emperor walked out of the queen mother's bedroom, Jian Xiu went directly back to Jinyiwei to command the envoy to Fusi, and went to clean up the Buddhist temple one day before going to Cishou Temple tomorrow.

He asked Li Ruzhang, a thousand households, to take people to investigate all possible safety first.

If the Queen Mother had any accidents in the Buddhist temple, Jinyiwei could not escape the responsibility, and his simple cultivation was a serious crime. After explaining everything, he rode back home.
