Chapter Seventy-Nine: Water Falls (9)
Xu Miao wrapped her body in a thin black silk robe, and gently flicked off the clothes and hats that covered her face: "If the concubine is smart, the slave is not stupid." /./ From the time Pei Shuang approached the slave under the pretext of eating the opposite, the slave had already guessed that he was exposed. Of course, I, Xu Miao, am not greedy for life and afraid of death, but I have to protect my master! So I had to prepare early, this trick of the golden cicada out of the shell, not to hide the identity of the concubine to prevent her from coming to see me, but the best time for me to sneak into the Yongshou Palace to assassinate, isn't it like a concubine? ”
Looking around calmly, Xu Miao smiled at ease, and his eyes were full of smugness and obscenity: "Who would have thought that an old eunuch who went out of the palace on an errand would be sent back to the palace to assassinate the concubine of the palace!" What's more, I'm afraid there is no one around you who can use it, right? Aren't all your henchmen gathered in Changchun Palace? There was a burst of arrogant laughter, and Xu Miao's voice was particularly disgusting.
Ruyue saw that Xi'er was not in a hurry, stable and calm, but she was also a little relieved, so she said: "You want to kill me just to keep the concubine!" But if I want to die, I have to die clearly. The eight princesses of this palace, in the end, are they in the hands of you and the concubines, and this palace now wants you to answer me personally! ”
Xu Miao snorted coldly: "The partition wall must have ears, there is no one outside the window, the more life and death are at stake, the more you have to keep your mouth shut." Anyway, Niangniang, you are not long in life, if you ask the little princess in person, maybe she will know! ”
"Mother, you go, leave the slave alone. Hengzhi is dead, and the slave maid should have gone with the queen a long time ago. Xi'er's face did not change, and he raised his head awe: "Father-in-law Xu, if you want to kill, you must be respectful, a slave is a slave and a maid, and there is no fear of death." But you don't want to hurt my mother. "It's too late, then Kuai'er pulled out a hairpin and stabbed it on Xu Miao's arm, kicked his right leg back, and kicked him in the knee." Mother, go quickly, there are slaves and maids standing in the way here, you go quickly. ”
"Raider." Where Ruyue is willing to go, her heart is as anxious as a hairy grasp. Seeing that Xu Miao was in pain and scuffled with Xi'er, Ruyue said with a wit: "Xu Miao, do you really think that Concubine Ding will be so stupid and take you so seriously?" She has been lurking in the harem for so many years, how can there not be a few right-hand men by her side, you are just one of them. She just wants you to die, it's good to be able to kill this palace, but no matter whether this palace is in the way or not, you don't want to get out of the eternal palace alive. ”
Keenly caught Xu Miao's tempting look, Ru Yue boldly took a few steps forward: "In the end, you are just doing what your master says, if you are willing to tell the truth to the emperor in person, and give me Luan'er justice, this palace can spare you from dying." ”
Xu Miao let go of the hand holding Xi'er, pushed hard, and slammed Xi'er against the wall. Raider hit the back of his head and fainted.
"If you still want to live, don't hurt the people around this palace!" Ruyue is distressed, in the final analysis, the attack is also for the protection of the master!
"There is no one in the harem who does not admire your wisdom, does not succumb to your majesty, and does not envy your grace. But in my Xu Miao's eyes, you are just a mere woman. Xu Miao pulled out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, pulled it out with a whoosh, threw away the scabbard, and pointed straight at Concubine Ru. Knowing that you have laid a net of heaven and earth, I still dare to turn back, and I have long been determined to die. Won't you be scared by your words! ”
Ruyue followed Xu Miao's steps back, and at a glance she saw the small incense burner on the case, so she stepped back quietly. "I don't dare to be in this palace, what kind of role is your father-in-law Xu, even the emperor's woman dares to get involved, an outlaw, death is indeed not enough to fear. But I still say that, do you really treat you sincerely as a concubine? ”
"Man, you have to be stupid like this once." Xu Miao smiled and approached step by step, with a ruthless killing intent at the corner of his mouth: "Although the eunuch has not confessed, he has always lived like this." I, Xu Miao, don't know that I am striving for fame and fortune, and I also have the kindness of really caring for me. Whether she is sincere or fake, I have no regrets. ”
"What a good one, no regrets." Ruyue's voice was passionate, full of admiration: "If you can fight for a sincere person, you will still be honored even if you die." ”
"Haha." Xu Miao laughed loudly, and the shiny sword flashed with sharp light. Ruyue was so quick that she suddenly turned around and picked up the incense burner and smashed it hard.
With a moment's strength, Ruyue only felt that she had exhausted all the strength of her body, it was a decision with deep resentment, and she was bound to take Xu Miao's dog life before she would give up.
Sure enough, the gilded incense burner hit Xu Miao's right forehead hard and heavy, making a heavy sound. Blood gushed out and slid down his eyes quickly. But at this moment, at most, it made Xu Miao feel pain, but it was not enough to be fatal at all.
The ashes in the incense burner were not cleaned up, and Xu Miao's eyes were blurred, so that he could not see the things around him clearly for a while.
Ruyue almost didn't want to think about it, picked up the celadon on the case and walked two steps quickly, bravely lifted it up and smashed it on the top of Xu Miao's head, this time it was really not light, Xu Miao's whole person fell to the ground violently, motionless. Even the knife in his hand flew out of his palm and landed directly at Ruyue's feet.
At this moment, Ruyue was really stunned. Xu Miao in front of him, from an extremely dangerous gangster, to a puddle of rotten meat, it turned out to be such an instant. More and more blood flows, a bright red pool, and an extraordinarily eye-catching color.
Ruyue squatted down and gently squatted beside Xu Miao. I saw Xu Miao's head suddenly raised, and she was so startled that Ruyue almost fell down. She grabbed the dagger that Xu Miao had dropped, and approached it straight in front of Xu Miao's eyes. "Father-in-law Xu, now that the knife is in the hands of this palace, it is your dog's turn to be threatened."
Xu Miao struggled to get up, but Ruyue did not hesitate at all, and stabbed Xu Miao in the back of the heart: "Suffer death!" ”
"You ......" Xu Miao's eyes widened, and her face was full of bright red blood: "You are so ruthless, you dream back at midnight, the old slave must go to the concubine to collect debts in your dream......" Blood kept pouring out of Xu Miao's mouth, and the fishy smell made Ruyue vomit again and again.
"This palace will not be afraid of you, only those who are in power in the Forbidden City are truly intimidating." Ruyue was heartbroken, and then pulled out the dagger with force, and the blood sprayed and splashed, and some fell on Ruyue's face and body.
Xu Miao finally lost her breath and slammed it against the blue bricks. His eyes protruded, still staring at Ruyue.
I don't know why, Ruyue didn't feel scared at all at this moment, the blood on the ground stuck to the hem of her dark blue flag clothes, drawing a deep blood mark.
She crouched lightly on the ground, carefully moving her body, and walked slowly and effortlessly towards the fainting attacker. The cramping pain in her abdomen made her unable to stand upright, but she was more concerned about the safety of her son.
Finally, she was about to get close to Xi'er, but she suddenly lost her strength and fell to her knees at once.
Pei Shuang will never forget this scene, when he returned to Yongshou Palace, the rough maid outside the door of the inner bedroom was cut throat, and in the inner bedroom, Miss and Xu Miao each fell in a pool of blood. Xi'er was unconscious, and no one witnessed the scene at that time, what kind of thrilling is this!
For three days, Ruyue fell asleep grogily, calling Luan Er intermittently, and tears would rain down from time to time.
The emperor instructed Shi Qianmo to go back to Yongshou Palace to take care of Ruyue's body, and he came to see it a few times, but he didn't see Ruyue wake up, and he was anxious. simply handed over all the affairs of the harem to the queen, with the assistance of Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Cheng, and the power of the harem shifted again.
It is a pity that Xu Miao is dead, and the concubine has no worries. There is no evidence that she poisoned the Dragonborn. Although her identity was revealed, she could not be uprooted in the end. This means that there will be another bloody battle in the harem.
"Wake up, wake up, Miss wake up." Pei Shuang took a nap, and the hand holding Ruyue suddenly moved, startled by the dream. When I opened my eyes, I realized that Ruyue's hand was really moving.
At that time, about the third watch, a room of slaves and maids who kept vigil were all excited by this great news, and everyone had a smile on their faces. "The mother is awake, the concubine is awake, and the concubine is awake......"
This cry of joy came and went, enduring, and spread far away along the Yongshou Palace, alarming half of the imperial city.
And the most excited person around Ruyue is Shi Qianmo, who has been sleepless for several nights. The hand that holds the pulse for the concubine, trembling irrepressibly,
He almost burst into tears, because he knew how difficult it was for her to survive, how difficult it was to protect the little life in her womb, which was only two months old.
"Mother, are you awake?" Shi Qianmo withdrew his hand and turned slightly sideways to let Pei Shuang help Concubine Ru up.
Ruyue only felt that she had no strength in her body, so she finally opened her eyes, saw the person in front of her clearly, and said softly: "Am I not dead yet?" ”
"Miss, you're fine, the fetus is safe, thanks to Imperial Doctor Shi" rejuvenated and snatched back the life of this little prince. Pei Shuang's tears flowed like rain, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. She is really grateful to God for keeping the young lady safe.
Ruyue was a little confused, and said in a dry voice: "Little prince? What little prince? ”
Shi Qianmo was a little reproachful, but he was full of concern: "Niangniang, you can't help but take care of your body too much, you are two months pregnant, and you don't even realize it." Fortunately, God blesses it, and every evil turns into good fortune. Otherwise, the minister ......"
"Is this palace two months pregnant?" Ruyue held Pei Shuang's hand tightly: "You didn't lie to me, did you?" Did I have another child? ”
Pei Shuang nodded vigorously, smiled and bent his eyebrows and wept and said: "Slave and maid congratulations to the concubine, congratulations to the concubine, the mother is blessed with rain and dew, and she is happy to be a dragon descendant." "151 Kanshu.com .
