Syllable! The door was pushed open from the outside.

The two little eunuchs who pushed the door were the first to enter, and lifted the veil to invite their master in.

Accompanied by a fragrant but vague fragrance, a graceful figure supported a bowed eunuch, and appeared behind the veil, looming.

"Sister, it's so lively here." The crisp voice in the bones makes people's hearts tremble. The foot wrapped in pearl embroidered shoes stepped on first, and the snow-white slender ankle made people can't help but hold it in the palm of their hand to play with it.

As everyone watched with bated breath, a woman in a purple gauze walked over with cat-like steps.

The sleeves of the coat, which are so wide that they hang dangerously to the ground, are embroidered with gold threads with large patterns, which are enchanting and ghostly. The high waistline wrapped around her slender waist, and the dark purple placket had light purple dark lines, which made her swan-like and elegant neck particularly white and tender.

Moving their eyes upward, everyone couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

What kind of face is that? The porcelain white skin is translucent and ruddy, the slightly raised Danfeng eyes seem to be smiling, and a tear mole under the corner of the eye is like the finishing touch, like a fox. But her eyes are very light, her eyes are like autumn waves, and she is a little ignorant and innocent.

Enchanting and pure are all blended together, without violating the harmony.

The queen sitting on the high seat looked at the visitor, and her face was slightly gloomy.

Although the emperor respects her, he only looks at the face of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion. If you want to say that he really likes it, it is the one in front of him.

Thinking of this, she grasped the seat handle with both hands, leaned forward slightly, squinted her eyes slightly, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

The concubine smiled with her eyes narrowed, looked around indifferently, and said with a light smile: "My sister naturally wants to discuss with my sister about the strange things that have happened in the palace recently." ”

The ladies paused, their faces looking at each other.

Seeing this, the corner of the concubine's mouth hooked up a smile: "These days, one after another people in the palace have died unexpectedly, and the death is extremely miserable, my sister is not at ease taking a nap, and now I have to find my sister to discuss this matter." ”

The queen's face did not change, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was slightly stiff.

She is in charge of Fengyin, and everything in the harem is managed by her, so she has not found the murderer for a long time, which is also her dereliction of duty, and the people in front of her are here to dismantle her platform. The fundus of the eyes is slightly dark.

The concubine played with the hair hanging down on her chest, turned her head to look at the queen on the high seat, and said with a little playfulness and innocence: "Sister, you say, will this time be like the Tianhuo Curse case decades ago?" ”

"Bold!" Princess Xu Le, who had not made a sound, suddenly overturned the table in front of her.

The loud voice made the timid noblewoman can't help but exclaim, but more people are a little confused and look at some people who are suddenly in trouble.

Su Qingyu lowered his eyes slightly, covering the thoughts in his eyes. The Heavenly Fire Curse case involves royal secrets that many people don't know.

But before, she had seen relevant records in the books collected by Qingyi Jushi.

A few decades ago, the former emperor deposed the empress once.

At that time, there were also continuous tragic deaths in the harem, and there was no result after a long investigation. Until one day, a strange fire from the sky burned the queen's palace, and the queen turned into a giant python in the fire and disappeared.

Later, it was rumored that the queen was possessed by a snake spirit who wanted to suck the dragon's qi to cross the catastrophe, and killed many people, and the heavens couldn't stand it before sending down strange fires, so this is also known as the Heavenly Fire Curse. Because it is so absurd, this news has been ordered by the emperor to cover it to death. I didn't expect someone to bring it up in full view of everyone today.

Xu Le got up and looked at the purple figure standing below, his white face was flushed with anger, and he said sharply: "As a noble concubine, you actually committed a crime, you have no dignity, and you wantonly insinuate the queen mother with empty nonsense!" ”

She was raised under the queen's knees when she was a child, and the relationship between the two has always been deep, and now how can she be wantonly slandered by others.

The corner of the concubine's mouth smiled coldly, and her face instantly sank: "How can I talk nonsense?" Isn't there evidence? ”

She looked at the people sitting on the stage and clapped her hands, with a bit of enchanting aura in her eyes that made people dare not look at it directly.

From outside came two sturdy little eunuchs, carrying a white cloth in their hands.

The soaked white cloth clings to what is wrapped inside, and it is vaguely a human figure.

Drops of water dripped from the wet white cloth and fell to the ground with a soft sound, as if striking on a person's heart.

"Show everyone the evidence." There was a sharp edge in the concubine's eyes.

The two expressionless eunuchs threw the things in their hands on the ground and pulled away the white cloth wrapped in them.

With a smell of rotting dampness in the pool, a wet human skeleton rolled around on the ground, and only stopped in front of the table in front of Su Qingyu and them, it was the maid who fell into the water.

One of her eyes was jolted out of her socket, and her long mouth showed the horror of her life. His face, which had turned gray, was swollen with blisters, and something seemed to be squirming in his mouth.

"Ahh A scream rang out in my ears.

The man who had been sitting in his seat in a daze watched his handmaid die like a frightened bird, trembling and falling to the ground.

The ladies stretched out their heads curiously, and after seeing it clearly, they couldn't help but turn pale, and the suppressed sound of vomiting faintly came.

The purple figure dragged its long floor-length skirt and walked over step by step, looking at the twisted and terrifying corpse on the ground without any fluctuations on its face.

She lifted her toes and gently lifted the woman's face, looking at the squirming thing in her mouth, her eyes flashed slightly, and she said in a lazy and delicate voice: "Sister, isn't this the evidence?" ”

She sneered, turned around and walked to the queen on the high seat: "Recently, there have always been such twisted and hideous corpses in the palace, but after checking for a long time, I have not been able to find any results, shouldn't my sister explain?" ”

Looking at the aggressive person, a gloom flashed in the queen's eyes.

Three years ago, when this woman was brought back from the people by the emperor, she was not at ease. Unexpectedly, three years later, this foundationless person would threaten her as queen, and the conspiracy and conspiracy could be blocked by her painlessly.

Just as the two were confronting each other, one high and one low, a sharp cry suddenly came out: "No! It's not the queen, it's her! She was the one who killed her! ”

Su Qingyu looked at the person next to her who suddenly jumped up and pointed at her, and her hand moved.

The unruly woman's hair was a little disheveled, and the heavy golden hairpin on her head was tilted to the side, with her hideous expression, with a bit of madness like a madwoman.

The queen's eyes flashed slightly, and she said in a soothing voice: "You don't have to be afraid, say something slowly." ”

The woman's pupils gradually cleared, and she looked at the queen and fell to her knees: "Niangniang Mingjian, the person who died under the stage is the servant of the courtier." ”

After she paused and whimpered twice, she lowered her head to cover the viciousness in her eyes, and choked up: "The courtiers saw that their boat was leaking, and they kindly let them get on my boat, but they didn't want to ...... But they don't want them to push their courtiers and maidservants into the water because they are afraid of the boat sinking! I just cried out for help, and she actually sent out a lot of iron-like worms from her body, and burrowed into my poor maidservant......" The words were not finished, but everyone looked at the broken corpse on the ground and understood.

For a while, the noble girl who was sitting close to Su Qingyu crawled and hid to the side as if avoiding the plague. Only Luo Zizhuo did not move.

She didn't look at the person kneeling on the ground and reversed black and white, she just looked at the person sitting next to her steadily, and said with a light smile: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Luo Zizhuo tilted his head slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at her, with a bit of rebelliousness in his tone: "It's just a strange force, what am I afraid of?" ”

After speaking, she looked at the kneeling and pretending to be pitiful on the ground, and sneered: "I just thought you were rude and unreasonable before, but now it seems that you are simply a femme fatale." ”

But she didn't want to, the woman looked up and looked at her with a little madness in her eyes.

Su Qingyu looked at it, and his intuition was a little wrong.

Before she could react, the woman suddenly pulled out the long hairpin on her head and stabbed straight at Luo Zizhuo. The tip of the sharp hairpin glowed with a cold light, with a bit of danger.

She subconsciously got up in front of her, but she didn't want to, and a force from behind her pulled her to the ground, and one person rolled over and pressed her waist.

The sound of a sharp blade piercing into the flesh in her ear, warm blood dripping on her face, burning like fire.

She lay on the ground and looked at Luo Zizhuo, who was half-kneeling on her body, and a long golden hairpin pierced her shoulder, and the blood spread rapidly at this time.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you pull people away for me? With the queen's reprimand, several eunuchs and palace ladies pulled away the woman who was acting a little extremely crazy.

Luo Zizhuo gritted his teeth and pulled out the golden hairpin on his shoulder, his body bent slightly, covering the wound with one hand, and his brows were furrowed.

"Are you alright?" Su Qingyu seemed to wake up, and hurriedly got up to help her.

At this time, a palace lady came to them and saluted: "The imperial doctors are all guarding in the attic on the shore of the pool, and the young lady will come with me to bandage the wounds." ”

Luo Zizhuo, whose face was slightly pale, didn't speak, Su Qingyu hurriedly helped her up, looked at Gong E and said, "Take us over quickly." ”

didn't care about the chaos behind him, and after giving the queen a hasty salute, he hurriedly followed the person in his arms behind Gong'e and left.

Looking at her back as she left, the queen and Luo Linwan glanced at each other, and a dullness crossed their eyes.

Because of the urgency of the situation this time, they did not make the previous transfer by boat, and several people stepped directly on the small bridge connecting the shore and the attic.

The wooden bridge is not long, it is as high as a dragon, and it spans between the pavilion and the shore.

"Haven't you arrived yet? Hurry up. Su Qingyu helped the person in his arms whose face was getting more and more ugly, and he was slightly anxious, and kept urging the little palace maid.

The shade of the tall trees slanted out from the palace walls, and the traces of age were faintly visible on the strong branches. The sunlight shines through the dense leaves and leaks on the polished bluestone slabs, like fish scales, which are particularly dazzling.

The breeze shook the leaves and swept by, bringing a bit of coolness to the hot summer days.

"That's not right." Suddenly, Su Qingyu, who was in a hurry, paused.

She looked at the little palace maid leading the way in front of her defensively, supported Luo Zizhuo who was leaning on her arms with her hand, took a few steps back, and asked, "Didn't you say that the imperial doctor was in the attic on the shore?" Why Have We Been Walking That Long? ”

She was sure that they had definitely come a long way.

The palace maid's eyes sank slightly, and she affirmed: "There is no mistake, the slave can be sure." His hand reached out, ready to help her.

She paused her elbows back, avoided the outstretched hand, and stared at the person in front of her with a slight gaze: "Get out, I'll go find the imperial doctor myself." He stepped back slightly, ready to help the person in his arms leave.

The palace maid quietly watched her without any movement, she pursed her lips when she saw this, and felt that something was wrong.

At this time, a faint voice came from his arms: "Qingyu, you are here, how can you go?" ”
