The bearded man couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart when he saw the man's formation, and he didn't look like a murderer when he looked at Xu Zhaohua, because the murderer they speculated was a man, and in order to make a difference, he could only think about handing over Xu Zhaohua first and thinking about the next thing.

But looking at the current situation, we can only give up!

"Don't dare, don't dare, the little ones are also acting on orders, and they have offended Wangfeng Wang Ye Haihan." The bearded man had a smile on his face.

Feng Wang Ye didn't say anything, and waved his belt: "I won't send it far away." After speaking, he walked straight into the main hall of Fu'an Palace.

Xu Zhaohua felt that the figure passing by him looked at her deeply when he passed by him again, and there was a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Zhaohua looked at the back of the walking by, feeling a little familiar, I don't know where I saw it, thinking about it, thinking that this back was exactly the same as the back she met yesterday morning and had a private meeting with the little palace maid in the woods!

She won't admit it.

So that person was him? So who was the palace maid who was killed last night? If it was the woman from yesterday......

Xu Zhaohua didn't continue to think about it.

"Lord Feng, go slowly." The bearded man still saluted with a smile on his face, but then the smile on his face disappeared, and he squinted at Xu Zhaohua viciously.

The bearded man and the others didn't eat good fruits, but they could only be angry in their hearts, after all, they couldn't afford to provoke a prince. Look at this Xu Zhaohua again, they actually think that the murderer is not her, but because they have to make a difference, they catch one and count them as one, and they originally planned to hand her over first, but now it seems that it will not work.

So the bearded man ordered: "Let her go!" ”

Xu Zhaohua was let go by a man, and the bearded group left. Everyone saw that there was nothing lively to watch, so they would do whatever they should do, Rong'er came over and took Xu Zhaohua's hand after everyone left, smiled at her, and went to sweep the yard without speaking.

Xu Zhaohua saw Rong'er's smile and felt a little warm.

Female Master Liu also walked over, but she still had a straight face: "It's pure luck to be able to escape this time, and it won't be necessary next time." In the future, you must pay more attention to your actions, and remember not to cause me trouble! ”

After saying it sharply, Female Master Liu still told Xu Zhaohua when she turned to leave: "You were frightened early in the morning, and you didn't start your errand before you started this incident, you don't have to do the work during the day today, sleep and recuperate your spirits, and you will have a vigil at night." ”

Xu Zhaohua responded gratefully: "Thank you, Female Master Liu!" ”

After finishing speaking, she walked to the room, in fact, she also found out that Female Master Liu is a knife mouth tofu heart, and she is not thin on herself, otherwise she would not have confessed herself when the bearded man asked. But she wasn't going to sleep right now.

She wants to find the truth, she always feels that this Feng Wang Ye has a close relationship with this matter, and this matter is also related to the matter she is investigating.

Xu Zhaohua, who returned to the room, was full of thoughts, and at this time she found that there was a person lying on the bed, and she actually covered her face with a cup when she slept? Who is this? When he was in doubt, Xu Zhaohua suddenly thought that this was Xiao Xu, the palace maid who was on a vigil shift with him?

Well, it could only be her.

Female Master Liu said that the work and rest time of the palace maids of the night vigil is different from that of other palace maids, generally there will be two palace maids in each palace to keep vigil, but they do not go to the vigil at the same time, but take turns every day, and one person takes turns for one night. The vigil of the night did not have to do anything else during the day, but only to catch up on sleep; And the palace maid who did not have a vigil that night could make full use of the night time to sleep, do other work during the day, and continue to keep vigil at night.

In fact, this vigil is the easiest in the palace, it is nothing more than what the master needs to run errands, wait when he gets up at night, hand it when he drinks water, and answer it when he asks a few watches. But there are many people in the palace who don't want to do this errand, after all, there are too many evil things encountered in this errand: the crying sound from the palace, the figures in the palace, the sudden sound of footsteps, what the lady hanged, which palace maid was killed, which eunuch was poisoned......

These things all happen at night, and at night, they are the best at hiding other people's secrets.

But Xu Zhaohua is not afraid, there are some things that she always believes in man-made. Since it was done by people, there is no need to be afraid, she has always treated others in her own way, and she has always treated others as she did to her.

Because Xiao Xu was still in the room, Xu Zhaohua's steps were even lighter, and she slowly rolled out of the back window, trying not to be noticed. I remembered that I heard other palace maids say that the dead in the palace have always put their bodies in the Jingcha Division for examination, and they also said that inexplicable missing people have always been found in the palace recently, and several people have been found dead later......

Xu Zhaohua didn't know if what they said was true or not, but she now felt that there were a lot of secrets in this Daduan Palace, and now she was going to Jingcha Si to see if the palace maid who died last night was the palace maid who had a private meeting with Prince Feng, if so, then this matter would be even more interesting.

Now the problem came, she didn't know where the Inspector was, and it seemed too abnormal to ask other palace maids. But now speculate that now she is near Fu'an Palace, and further east is the Imperial Garden. In addition to the old concubines of the former emperor living here, there are many other concubines of the current emperor, that is, Sui Yue, obviously, the Fu'an Palace, which specializes in placing corpses, will not be here.

Then the Kei Cha Si must be on the east side of the Imperial Garden, and in order to prevent her from encountering the moon again like yesterday, she chose to take a small path to detour.

Because her foot was injured, it was almost time for lunch when she walked to the Inspectorate, and at this time the guard of the Inspectorate was taking shifts to eat, so there was a fat-headed and big-eared guard at the door. Xu Zhaohua took advantage of the wind to fly over the white silk scarf with blood that he had prepared in advance, and when the fat guard picked it up, he saw that the red silk scarf was written in blood: Give me back my life. A few big words were so frightened that I almost fainted, and without saying a word, I ran away in a gray manner when I saw no one around.

Xu Zhaohua felt a little ridiculous, why was such a person of five big and three rough people so cowardly, he thought that he would have to waste some time on him, but he didn't expect that it would be so easy to scare him away, was it so hasty to choose the gatekeeper from the Inspectorate?

But come to think of it, a place dedicated to storing corpses, all people should be afraid, she is so frightened, it is easy to scare people, which is why she is so confident that she can enter the Inspectorate in such a short time.

When she pushed the door in, Xu Zhaohua smelled a foul smell, the smell of rotting corpses filled the entire courtyard, and she pushed open the door of a room in the center of the room with the urge to vomit, and there were many corpses on display inside.

It seems that those rumors among the palace people are not groundless, and there is really something wrong with this Daduan Palace.

One by one, the straw mats on the corpses were lifted, and she suddenly noticed that something was wrong, these corpses were so strange, their skin was a little wrinkled, as if they had been sucked dry of blood. Xu Zhaohua saw the woman who died last night, why was she so sure that the woman in front of her was the one who was killed last night?

Because this woman is the woman who had a private meeting with Feng Wang Ye in the woods, this Feng Wang Ye has a problem, why did he kill this woman, are these other corpses related to him? If it was killed for love, then why did so many people be killed by him? Could it be that this Feng Wang Ye is a prodigal? No, there were men and women who were killed, how can this be explained? Don't......

Impossible, her intuition told her that although this Feng Wang Ye was dressed like a woman, and his appearance could also be described as bewitching, but the aura on his body told Xu Zhaohua that he was not the kind of situation he guessed.

But why?

While pondering, Xu Zhaohua expected that the soldiers who had changed shifts might also be about to finish eating, so she hurriedly left the Jingcha Division with questions, and when she passed by the grove, she felt that she needed to tell Zhou Sheng Cuobai about today's incident.

But tonight needs a vigil, so how long will she pass on the news?

Xu Zhaohua decided to take a risk, she actually walked straight to the rockery last night, picked a few maple leaves, took the needle and thread she carried with her to thread the maple leaves, and wrote a few short big characters on it to express the message she wanted to deliver to Zhou Shengcuobai.

It's noon now, and sure enough, night is the umbrella for all secret things, and she only hopes that these maple leaves won't be discovered by anyone with a heart.

After putting the maple leaves into the river, Xu Zhaohua hurriedly prepared for the Fu'an Palace, but her foot was injured last night and she couldn't walk too fast, and she was worried about being discovered, so she walked the road of the Imperial Garden.

Sure enough, whatever she was most afraid of came, and in the Imperial Garden, it was like yesterday, and she heard the familiar laughter again. It's Xianyue again, does she like to enjoy flowers so much? It's autumn, what kind of flowers do you come out to enjoy?

Like yesterday, Xu Zhaohua endured the pain and quickened his pace and lowered his head to pass through the imperial garden.

"Stop" is the voice of the moon.

Xu Zhaohua ignored it and continued to walk forward.

"The palace man in front, I told you to stop!" Xianyue said loudly again.

Xu Zhaohua stopped, but did not look back. She felt footsteps coming towards her behind her, and here she came.

A familiar voice shouted in front of him: "You cheap hoof, tell you to go to the Tai Hospital to get medicine for the old lady, you have taken it for so long, delaying the old lady to drink the medicine, are you enough to cut off ten heads?" What are you doing there, don't you roll over here!"

It's Female Teacher Liu.

Xu Zhaohua took advantage of the situation and trotted a few steps towards Female Master Liu.

Female Master Liu pretended to have just seen Xianyue, and saluted slightly: "Miss Xianyue is also here, this slave has not been trained well, so let Miss Xianyue see the joke."

Behind him, Xianyue's voice sounded: "It's okay. Good discipline is. ”

After saying that, Xianyue looked at Xu Zhaohua's back for a long time, and Xu Zhaohua also expected that she was looking at herself, and deliberately walked more violently, so that Xianyue couldn't see why.

In the end, Xianyue shook her head: it seems that she is thinking too much. Then he left with a group of people, and in the afternoon, he had to go to Xu Qingshan's army to continue monitoring, but he couldn't waste this rare rest time in vain.

When Xianyue and her party disappeared around the corner, Xu Zhaohua also walked in front of Female Master Liu.

Before he could speak, he felt a hot pain on his face.

"I know maybe you entered the palace for a purpose, but can you think about things before you act?" Nushi Liu had tears in her eyes.

Somehow, Xu Zhaohua also felt so sad. Not because Female Teacher Liu beat her, but because she almost put herself in a dilemma because of her recklessness and inconsiderate consideration. After being reborn, almost every step of her life went smoothly, although there were some changes, but fortunately, they all came over, so she was indeed a little arrogant and taken lightly about some things.

Today's slap by Female Master Liu made her feel that she was missing something and something more. Xu Zhaohua knows that the guy who is missing is called arrogant, and the guy who is more is called steady.

Nushi Liu looked at her with tears in her eyes, this girl was very much like when she was young, and her heart was high. If you continue like this, sooner or later, you will suffer a loss, don't follow in her footsteps.

She knew that Xu Zhaohua had high-spirited capital, and since her unruly aura this morning, she felt that this girl was not an ordinary person.

Xu Zhaohua, who calmed down, smiled: "Got it, female teacher." I don't know why, she always feels that Nushi Liu and her mother have some imagination.

I wonder how my mother is now?

Hearing that she didn't call herself "Female Teacher Liu" but called herself "Female Teacher", I was a little relieved. My daughter should be so old this year, but it's a pity that I can't see my daughter in this palace for a year, and I only transfer my monthly salary to the relatives who raised my daughter every month......

The two of them have their own ties in their hearts.

"I didn't eat, so I kept it for you. In the cupboard in your room, remember to eat, don't go hungry. Female Master Liu didn't look at her and walked in front of her after saying these words.

Xu Zhaohua followed her closely, and the two returned to Fu'an Palace together.

……

The light of dusk reached the room, Xu Zhaohua turned over and felt that the soles of his feet were a little different, and when he got up, he didn't know when he had been re-bandaged, could it be Female Master Liu? It shouldn't be, Lady Liu went to the topcoat bureau in the afternoon to get the old lady's clothes, and when she came back, she had to serve the old lady to drink medicine, she always had to do this kind of thing herself, it shouldn't be her bandaging herself.

Could it be Rong'er? It's even more impossible, Rong'er doesn't have time to come back during the day, and she shouldn't be on night duty, so there is only one person now.

Shaw?

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Xiao Xu came in with a bowl of steaming soup:

"You're awake, you're Zhao Ye! After that, we will serve the old lady at night together, saying that it is serving, but in fact there is nothing to do, and the old lady usually does not wake up at night. ”

Before Xu Zhaohua nodded, Xiao Xu handed the bowl to Xu Zhaohua as he spoke: "Drink this bowl of ginger soup quickly, I will hear your coughing sound when you sleep at that time."

Xu Zhaohua looked at the delicate-looking girl in front of him and said with a smile, "Thank you." Then drink the ginger soup in one gulp.

After drinking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"By the way, did you bandage my foot?" Xu Zhaohua asked.

"Well, it's hard to see that your feet are bleeding a little, so I bandaged you again." Xiao Xu said with a smile.

"Thank you." Xu Zhaohua once again expressed his gratitude.

Xiao Xu told her not to be so polite, because today was Xu Zhaohua's first night watch, so Xiao Xu also told her some things that need to be paid attention to, some of the old lady's living habits, although these may not be used, but it is better to know something than not to know. Today, Xu Zhaohua is going to see the old lady, and he is very curious about what the old lady is like.

At this moment, Zhou Shengcuobai looked at the rolling river in front of him, he had already received the news transmitted by Xu Zhaohua with maple leaves, and he had already ordered someone to privately take a look at the details of that maple prince. It's just now, I don't know if she's doing well over there, Xu Qingshan's army has still not moved recently, it is estimated that the defeat last time has greatly damaged his vitality, thinking of this, Zhou Shengcuo admires the woman he is thinking about even more in his heart.

Stepping on the afterglow of dusk, Xu Zhaohua walked to the main hall, at this moment the old lady was ready to start dinner, and her task was to guard the screen at the inner door, no need to wait, naturally there were special people to serve the old lady for dinner.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Xu Zhaohua heard a familiar voice, it was Lord Feng, and he was also inside. Xu Zhaohua felt that she should really stay away from this man.

"Mother, Erchen knows that you like to drink white fungus soup the most, can you see what suits your appetite?" Feng Wang Ye carefully fed the old concubine.

I can't imagine that this Feng Wang Ye is quite filial, how can he get rid of that kind of thing that is inferior to beasts? I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart!

"Well, it's delicious. Feng'er really has a heart. The old lady's voice rang out.

Xu Zhaohua felt that the old lady's voice was not particularly old, and her age was not too big, so she pretended to inadvertently tilt her head sideways to see what the old lady looked like, but the old lady had her back to her, and she could only look at her back, but she couldn't see her face.

"Mother, let me tell you an interesting thing, this morning Erchen just arrived at the gate of Fu'an Palace and saw a woman take off her shoes and let everyone see her feet, hahahaha!" King Feng laughed as he spoke.

Xu Zhaohua wanted to kill him at this time.

"Oh? Is there such a strange woman in Fu'an Palace? What's the name? The old lady was a little surprised.

"How could Erchen know the name of a palace maid, but after asking Lady Liu, she said that she was new to your vigil. Have you seen it?" replied King Kaede.

The old lady was interested, and she really wanted to see what this woman who took off her shoes in public looked like.

"Why don't you call her in?" Feng Wang Ye proposed.

So, Xu Zhaohua met the old lady for the first time for such a reason, and she bowed her head and saluted.

"Come, raise your head," the old lady ordered.

The moment their eyes met, they were stunned.

Xu Zhaohua never thought that the old lady would be her.

Looking at the old lady, she didn't expect that the palace maid who kept vigil for herself was actually Xu Zhaohua.

Both of them were cold for a long time before Xu Zhaohua pretended that nothing had happened and said, "I've seen the old lady." ”

Then he knelt down and bowed respectfully, and the old lady immediately stood up from the stool and stood aside, she couldn't stand Xu Zhaohua's salute, but there were ears and eyes all around and could only say: "Hurry up, please get up"

But the abnormality of the tone still made Feng Wang Ye feel a little abnormal: What happened to the mother concubine when she saw this woman?

Xu Zhaohua and the old lady tacitly did not speak, and the air fell into embarrassment for a while.

Prince Feng on the side didn't think so, he still sat down and served the old lady with vegetables and soup, but obviously the old lady didn't have the appetite to continue eating.

Seeing this, Lord Feng thought that the kitchen was not doing well, and after putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he said angrily: "This dining room is really getting more and more unpleasant, let them cook according to the appetite that the concubine usually likes, such a thing can't be done." It's time to clean them up today! ”

"It's the concubine herself who has no appetite, Feng'er, you can go back first today. The mother was a little sleepy and wanted to go to bed. The old lady said.

Xu Zhaohua on the side was speechless, and when Prince Feng walked past her, he glanced at her again meaningfully, this kind of look made Xu Zhaohua a little uncomfortable, and even a little creepy.

After closing the door, the old lady knelt down to Xu Zhaohua and gave a big salute.

"Aunt Shen, what are you doing here, hurry up." Xu Zhaohua hurriedly helped the old lady up.

"Zhaohua...... No, Queen Mother, why did you come to this Daduan Palace? The old lady asked.

Xu Zhaohua helped the old lady to the seat: "Aunt Shen, it's a long story, let me talk to you slowly." ”

"Okay, that's right. Your mother, how is she doing?" The old lady asked.

Xu Zhaohua lowered his eyes, thinking that Aunt Shen still didn't know that his mother had reconciled with Su Qingshan:

"Mother has been doing well lately."

"Okay, that's fine." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

This old concubine was originally a good friend of her mother before she got married, and she often coaxed herself to play when she was young, Xu Zhaohua remembered that she once jokingly said that she wanted to recognize herself as her goddaughter, and then she was selected to marry into the Daduan Palace to promote the friendship between the two countries. Later, when Daduan had some political contacts with Dongqi, she followed Daduan's then king, that is, Sui Chen, Sui Yue and Feng Wangye's father, and returned to Dongqi several times, and also had a short time with her mother.

Later, Xu Zhaohua never saw her again, and gradually forgot that there was such a person. If it weren't for today's accidental encounter between the two, I'm afraid I won't be able to see each other in this life.

Xu Zhaohua remembered that when he was killed in his last life, Aunt Shen secretly helped him when she returned to Dongqi.

The moon walked slowly at night, and before she knew it, it was midnight, and the two of them had almost finished reminiscing, Xu Zhaohua also told her about her mother's later reconciliation with Xu Qingshan, and the purpose of her entry into the palace this time.

But Xu Zhaohua didn't tell her about discovering that Prince Feng and the little palace maid had a private meeting in the woods, nor did he tell her that he suspected that the dead people were related to Lord Feng. Today's slap in the daytime profoundly told Xu Zhaohua not to act rashly without being completely prepared for everything. Besides, Aunt Shen's health is not good, so don't tell her about her inference first. The old lady also told Xu Zhaohua about the grievances she had suffered over the years, as well as how she spent every dark day with Prince Feng.

After a long time, Xu Zhaohua realized that he and the old concubine had only cared about her for a long time, and they didn't look at her carefully, and now they took a closer look at her Aunt Shen, in fact, Aunt Shen was not a few years older than her mother, and she could still see her young demeanor through her current appearance. Being called an old concubine may be the reason for the early death of the former emperor of Daduan.
