Chapter 156: Murder on a Moonlit Night

Sure enough, as soon as Wanying arrived on the quilt, she shouted: "Stop ......"

Seeing Wanying's painful expression that her neck was about to be ruined, Qi Qiuli put down the insoles in her hand, hurriedly came over to support Wanying and asked, "Have you held your neck?" Can't you, the quilt is so thick and soft? ”

Wanying saw that Qi Qiuli was very nervous when she was affectionate, and couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "I didn't stop teasing you." I'll coax you! ”

Qi Qiuli let go of Wanying, and scolded with an indignant smile in her mouth: "The rotten hooves really scared you, look at the real needle!" Qi Qiuli held up a finger with a small blood blister and said to Wanying.

Only then did Wanying realize that she was joking, and Qi Qiuli accidentally pricked her hand with a needle.

After Qi Qiuli finished speaking, she put her fingers in her mouth, pouted, and sat down under the oil lamp again and began to collect the soles of her shoes. He also said: "Today, Aunt Bitong gave me a few pieces of material, although the colors are old, but they are all good palace silks." ”

"Aunt Bitong is really eccentric, why don't you give me a few pieces?" Wanying doesn't know what's going on today, obviously so many things have happened, but she is so happy. He can say whatever he wants, and he doesn't treat Qi Qiuli as an outsider.

"You're still short of clothes! The flowing shoulder shawl that the Queen Mother just gave yesterday, the palace is about to fry, what else do you want. ”

Wanying pursed her mouth and said hypocritically: "A flowing shoulder shawl can make them fry, which shows that their heat is really pitiful." ”

"Auntie, you just said this in front of me, if you say it to others, don't falsely accuse you of slandering the Queen Mother, because the things given by the Queen Mother are not eye-catching."

Wanying thought about it for a while, Qi Qiuli was really right, and hurriedly said the round, "The Queen Mother gave me such a valuable shoulder shawl, you tell me, what did the palace maids say about me?" ”

"It's not all those manuscripts, you can guess with your eyes closed."

"I'm okay now, you tell me."

"What are you talking about! and it cannot be eaten as food, and it cannot be used as a flower of silver. ”

"It's really boring, it's the topic you started, but it's you who hang my appetite, don't say it, don't say it, I'm too lazy to listen!" After Wanying finished speaking, she picked up a poetry book on the bedside, and just opened it, but the light in the room was really dim, so she closed the book again, approached Qi Qiuli and said, "Tell me, what did they say?" ”

Qi Qiuli said without raising her head: "Who just said that he was too lazy to listen, and now he is asking without skin and face." It's late! ”

Wan Ying smiled and sat upright, and said with a serious smile: "Little hoof, you are fortunate to have overdone it today." I hope you don't fall into my hands, or I will make you want to live and not die. ”

After saying this, Wanying couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling enveloping her, how could she have the illusion of being in a different world?

Qi Qiuli continued to hold the sole of the shoe in her hand, raised her head, and scolded with a smile: "Bah, you really think you are a character, don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will make you unable to survive and die." ”

After speaking, the two hugged each other and laughed. Obviously, it is a deep love and righteousness, and Wanying always feels a chill in her back. Qi Qiuli was also surprised: Wanying was so kind to herself, why every time she joked with her and said cruel things, she always felt very relieved.

Qi Qiuli was ashamed of her thoughts, so she quickly boiled hot water, served Wanying to wash, laid out the quilt, put the soup woman, and then slept next to the bed with Wanying.

On a bed that is not big or small, there are two people crammed. Qi Qiuli tried her best to leave more space for Wanying, and whenever she turned over, she would always be scared awake. I'm afraid that I will accidentally fall under the bed.

This night, Qi Qiuli turned around, woke herself up from her sleep, and after confirming that she had not fallen out of bed, she closed her eyes again and continued to be drowsy. In a trance, she heard Wanying shouting in her sleep: "The general save me, the general save me!" ”

Qi Qiuli wondered in her heart: This little hoof, a dead duck with a hard mouth, obviously stepped on two boats, and still didn't admit it. Wait for Ming'er to wake up and see how I dismiss you. ”

Through the little light outside the window, she saw Wanying sweating profusely, her face frightened and hideous, as if she had encountered some desperate situation in a dream.

Qi Qiuli didn't feel sleepy at all, so she looked sideways for a long time, and gradually Wanying's breathing began to be even, and the horror on her face gradually dissipated. There was a crystal teardrop hanging from the long eyelashes, as if it had just been shed in a dream.

In the dark night streamer, Qi Qiuli lay straight beside Wanying, her eyes were wide open, the scar on her face made her look very embarrassed and hideous, she pressed the quilt under her neck, and her hands got into the quilt again. Outside the window, a few cats in heat stood on the roof and screamed.

Qi Qiuli suddenly covered her head with a quilt, and the torn cat meow still clearly entered her ears. She covered her ears under the covers, closed her eyes, and suddenly felt as if her throat was choked and she couldn't breathe.

Qi Qiuli suddenly let go of her ears and pushed the quilt away. On the white window paper, ghostly shadows are reflected. Qi Qiuli began to gasp a little quickly. I was terrified to death. A few gusts of cold wind shook the trees outside the window, and the shadows on the window paper shook with it. Qi Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted herself in her heart: "It's a branch, not a ghost." ”

After saying this sentence in my heart, another miserable cat meow came into the house like a baby crying. Qi Qiuli gritted her teeth and stared at the reflection swaying back and forth on the window paper, remembering with palpitations what happened last night:

"She was stripped of her title and will be a noble concubine, and she was also beaten into the cold palace, if she doesn't take the opportunity to kill her at this juncture, it will not be easy for her to turn over in the future." Qi Qiuli lay in the quilt and watched Wanying fall asleep, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

Through the moonlight outside the window, she saw that Wanying should be in a sweet dream, gently lifting the quilt and carefully putting on her clothes. Creeping to find his baggage, he quietly opened it, pulled out the white silk, and pressed it on his chest, as if he had made a great determination. Silently tucked into the placket of his own clothes. He took out of the sewing basket a hard blade for cutting the soles of his shoes and stuffed them into the placket. In fear, he opened the door of the house, and when he was about to go out, he turned back and sat down on the edge of the bed, took off his coarse cotton shoes, put them under the bed, and stuffed his feet into the graceful embroidered shoes. He took out the iron hook that he usually used to hold the tea hanging from under the stove, and quietly stuffed it into his clothes. When he went out, he gently closed the door again.

With the bright moonlight, he flashed to the door of Rongshou Palace, secretly opened a crack three times and two times, squeezed it out by himself, and closed it gently. Walking along the shade of the trees all the way to the Mianshou Bridge, I didn't even touch a person.

Facing the cold wind, I walked all the way to the outside of the cold palace cavity, and I didn't meet anyone. Qi Qiuli squatted in the dark shadow, tied the iron hook to the white silk, tied it to death, and threw it to the wall. Recalling the skills of my younger brothers and sisters going out to play over the wall when I was a child, I pulled the white silk hard, who knew that with a 'bang', I directly ripped off the iron hook, and threw it on the wall several times, the iron hook couldn't hook anything at all, and with a little force, it fell off the wall.

Qi Qiuli squatted in the dark shadow, almost wanting to turn around and go back to Rongshou Palace. I secretly thought to myself: "How easy it is to kill someone!" ”

Suddenly, a picture flashed in his mind, the house where he lived in Yongxiang was in front, and there seemed to be a ladder in it.

Frightened, he came to Yongxiang and touched into the house where he had lived. In this room where the abandoned sundries in the palace were placed, Qi Qiuli found the abandoned ladder in the dark with the location in her memory.

A person secretly moved the ladder out of the house by the moonlight, and the cold wind blew Qi Qiuli shivering, and she didn't know where she got the strength, so she took the ladder to the front of the cold palace, leaned against the palace wall, and lay on the wall step by step, trying hard to pull up the ladder, but she couldn't pull it up.

Qi Qiuli, who was sitting on the head of the palace wall, looked at the moon helplessly and wept, and said faintly in her heart: "Dad, mother, open your eyes, if you have a spirit in the sky, you can help your daughter-in-law......" When Qi Qiuli was crying, her hand touched the white silk she was holding in her chest, and she immediately stopped crying, and climbed down from the ladder again, and when she was halfway up, she tied Bai Aya to the middle of the ladder, and then bit Bai Aya in her mouth and climbed up the wall.

With a cold hand, he took out the white silk from his mouth and pulled it hard, and the ladder suddenly fell backwards horizontally, and the huge impact almost dragged Qi Qiuli off the wall. Fortunately, Qi Qiuli's legs clamped firmly on the palace wall, and it took a lot of effort to pull the ladder up. I don't know how much effort it took to put the ladder on the side of the cold palace.

The moment I turned my head, I happened to see the tanuki on the roof of the cold palace, staring at me with resentful eyes. Qi Qiuli was startled, and almost fell off the wall again. glared at the tanuki viciously a few times, and halfway down, he untied the white silk and turned into the cold palace.

This is an uninhabited palace, and the first emperor did not have concubines who were relegated to the cold palace, so it was uninhabited for decades. The snow in the courtyard of the cold palace has not yet melted, just by looking at the footprints on the ground, you can know where the queen and Xue Guifei live.

Qi Qiuli walked to the door of a palace room with footprints, and the voice of the scholar and mouse with the window paper 'chirped' twice, and the sound of a cat meowing inside. I asked about the smell in the house with my nose, and it was also the fragrance of roses that Xue Guifei burned every day.

I exhaled, my hands were shaking, and my legs were a little unsteady. Suddenly, the tanuki on the roof began to shout endlessly, Qi Qiuli gritted her teeth, made up her mind, rubbed her hands, took out a hard blade from her arms, inserted it into the crack of the door, pinned the latch of the door little by little, tiptoed into the house, and followed the place where the fragrance was the strongest, Qi Qiuli finally saw the face that she had never forgotten day and night by the moonlight. Her face is so beautiful, but it has the heart of a femme fatale. Qi Qiuli stood in front of Xue Guifei's window for a quarter of an hour, without moving. Suddenly, Xue Guifei opened her eyes and opened her mouth in horror, Qi Qiuli dropped the blade in her hand and covered Xue Guifei's mouth with her hand to prevent her from making a sound.

However, Xue Guifei had already seen clearly that it was Qi Qiuli, and she also understood: what was standing in front of her at the moment was no longer the little maid in Yingchun Palace who was only willing to be beaten and scolded, she was here to take revenge, to put it bluntly, she was here to ask for her own life.

Xue Guifei was desperately struggling, but after all, she had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she had no power to restrain the chicken, so she was pressed on the bed by Qi Qiuli in three or five strokes and couldn't move, Qi Qiuli covered Xue Guifei's mouth with a quilt, and pressed Xue Guifei with her body to prevent her from moving, and knelt on Xue Guifei's arm with two knees. Finally freed up a hand and pulled out the white silk from his arms. In a panic, he pulled out the iron hook and rolled far away, not knowing where to roll. didn't care about picking up the iron hook, Qi Qiuli grabbed Bai Fei with both hands, lowered her head and pulled it into Xue Guifei's neck, and then crossed Bai Fei with both hands, like playing with pulling ropes when she was a child, and strangled Xue Guifei's neck, Xue Guifei was still struggling at first, and gradually she kept shaking her head, wanting to say something in her mouth, but her breath was stuck under Bai Aya, and she couldn't say anything.

Qi Qiuli could see from the shape of her mouth that Xue Guifei wanted to say 'not me' but, Qiu Ling Zhi was dizzy, Qi Qiuli hated Xue Guifei in her heart, quietly put her mouth to her ear, and said faintly: "Poisonous woman, it's not you, who else can it be?" ”

In desperation, Xue Guifei still kept shaking her head, and gradually she didn't even have the strength to shake her head, and before she died, she used the last strength of her life to leave a silent sentence in the air: "No-yes-I-" After speaking, her head drooped heavily. Never shake again.

In this way, Qi Qiuli still refused to let go of the white silk in her hand, until Xue Guifei's body gradually became cold and hard, and the coldness of the dead person was cold to Qi Qiuli's hot hands, and she got off Xue Guifei's body. sat on the edge of Xue Guifei's bed, cried for a long time, and then tore her sheets like crazy.

After sending the ladder to the broken house, Qi Qiuli found that she had forgotten to pick up the iron hook, looked at the sky, and was already in the fourth watch, and if she didn't leave, it would be too late. Facing the cold wind. When Qi Qiuli returned to the Northwest Institute and slipped into the Rongshou Palace, there was still silence inside.

tiptoed into the house, accidentally touched the stove, and woke Wanying up at once.

After tossing for a long time, Wanying turned her back to Qi Qiuli, and she never knew that Qi Qiuli stared until dawn.
