Chapter 33: Assassination

Chunshui came in, knelt down, and raised the white fungus osmanthus lotus seed soup in his hand above his head: "Concubine Wen Niangniang, today's big training, no one around Niangniang takes care of her, so the concubine ordered the slave maid to prepare the white fungus lotus seed soup for each palace, which can be regarded as a comfort to the palaces." ”

Su Wenmei came in from the spring water and kept looking at her, this palace maid has a calm step and a cold temperament, which is different from other ordinary palace maids.

Since the last meal was poisoned, Su Wenmei's six senses have become extremely acute, and a trace of doubt flashed in her mind when she looked at this palace maid.

"Mother." Chunshui lifted the tray of white fungus lotus seed soup a little higher, the spring shirt was thinner, her cuffs slipped an inch or two from her wrists, and by the light in the room, Su Wenmei saw the small half-cut scar on her wrist at a glance.

Su Wenmei looked at it carefully - her hand, there was a cocoon the size of a broad bean in the tiger's mouth, which only people who practice martial arts would have.

"You can leave it here, this palace is not hungry, I can't drink it now, I will drink it later." Su Wenmei said.

"Mother." Chunshui raised his head and made a obedient appearance: "The concubine said that the white fungus lotus seed soup is delicious, but it should be hot." ”

Su Wenmei leaned back and leaned on the chair as if she was lazy: "Bengong also said that I don't want to drink now." I think it's a good intention to come to the virtuous concubine Niangniang to send soup, and she won't force you to be a palace maid, right? ”

"Concubine Wen, the slave doesn't dare. It's just that the concubine Niangniang sent the soup with good intentions, but if you don't drink it, it will be disrespectful. ”

She looked at the palace maid, and then looked at the palace maid's eyes, but saw a trace of murder revealed in her eyes.

Su Wenmei's intuition was not good, so she said: "This palace can't drink it now, you put down the soup and go out." ”

The palace maid got up and placed the white fungus lotus seed soup on the table. But he reached out again, pulled out a bright knife from his cuff, and stabbed Su Wenmei fiercely.

Su Wenmei looked lazy, but she was not slacking off against her, and when she saw the palace maid slashing at her with a knife, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to block it.

She is not skilled in martial arts, and Chunshui is professionally trained, plus Chunshui's moves are fatal, the knife slashed through Su Wenmei's arm, leaving a knife mark on her arm.

Bing'er was in the side hall, and when everyone had no time to take care of the training, he took the opportunity to run out and ran all the way back to Jinyun Palace. Outside the palace gate, she saw a little eunuch sneaking around and pouring fire oil on the palace wall.

"Who are you? What the hell are you doing here?! Bing'er scolded, the little eunuch shook his body, and turned his head to look at Bing'er with an angry face. Through the dim moonlight, Bing'er faintly saw that it was a little eunuch with a raw face.

He was scolded by Bing'er and felt a little weak, so he threw away the oil barrel and ran away in a hurry.

The little eunuch ran very fast, and Bing'er thought of Su Wenmei in her heart, so she didn't chase him, she kicked the oil barrel, and hurriedly ran towards Jinyun Palace.

This little eunuch has made the fire oil all over the ground, and when Ruxia and the others come back, they will have to clean it up again.

In Jinyun Palace, Su Wenmei faced the assassin dressed as a palace maid she got, her whole heart lifted, and the moment she stabbed her with a knife, Su Wenmei quickly kicked Chunshui in the lower abdomen, turned around from the chair, and stood up: "You are not a virtuous concubine!" ”

Just now, when Chunshui made a move, she thought of the person who assassinated her outside the Gu Mansion that day by the deadly ruthlessness of her move. Su Wenmei clearly remembered that the female assassin was slashed by Zhao Xunzhi in the wrist at that time.

She almost concluded that the palace maid assassin in front of her was the one who assassinated her outside the Gu Mansion that day.

Chunshui didn't answer, raised the dagger, and stabbed at Su Wenmei again.

Su Wenmei was able to dodge, and Chunshui's moves were fast and ruthless, so after a few rounds, Su Wenmei still fell behind. Chunshui forced Su Wenmei to the bed, and the dagger in her hand was aimed at Su Wenmei's heart at this time, stabbing at her little by little. Su Wenmei's strong desire to survive supported herself, and her hand tried her best against Chunshui's wrist, but she was always defeated by Chunshui.

"!" When Bing'er entered the palace gate, she saw the scene in front of her, and her heart followed Su Wenmei's throat.

Su Wenmei looked at her, and as soon as she was distracted, Chun Sailor took up the knife and was about to stab the dagger into her heart.

"Huh!" Outside Jinyun Palace, a feather sword flew out of nowhere, piercing the heart of Chunshui from behind. Chunshui's attention was on Su Wenmei, and he wanted to put Su Wenmei to death, but he didn't expect this unexpected situation at all.

She opened her eyes wide, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight on Su Wenmei's body.

"Mother." Bing'er ran into the hall and helped pull the body of the assassin dressed as a palace maid off Su Wenmei's body, and saw the wound on her wrist: "Are you injured?!" ”

Su Wenmei touched her wrist: "It's okay." ”

"Mother." Bing'er worried: "It was really thrilling just now, do you know who the person who released the arrow to save you is?" ”

Su Wenmei shook her head and said suspiciously: "I don't know, maybe it's Zhao Xunzhi." However, since entering the palace, Zhao Xunzhi has been protecting the emperor all the time, how could he ......

"!" Su Wenmei was stunned, and Bing'er saw the sky-high fire outside, and Bing'er shouted: "There is a fire outside!" When the slave maid just ran back to Jinyun Palace, she saw a little eunuch sneaking outside, it turned out that he was preparing to set fire! He is too bold, and the palace is so bold! ”

"This man's mind is very vicious!" Su Wenmei smiled bitterly: "What a thoughtful serial plan!" "If it hadn't been for a hidden arrow that came from nowhere, I would have died under the assassin's sword. Even Su Wenmei herself couldn't imagine who was the master who came to save her.

"Niangniang, the fire is so big, let's go out quickly, it's too late." Bing'er said anxiously.

"Wait." At this moment, Su Wenmei hesitated - if she went out and escaped, would she really be safe? No, I'm afraid that there will be more conspiracies and calculations in the future.

She reached out and stroked her slightly bulging belly, the child was more than three months old at the moment, if in the palace, the news of her pregnancy spread, I was afraid that if she wanted to give birth to him, it would be even more difficult.

I was injured today, and if I went out to ask for a doctor, the news of my pregnancy would definitely not be hidden.

The corners of Su Wenmei's lips hooked up a meaningful smile: "Didn't Concubine Lan want to put me to death?" But if I die, and she can't get out of it, what will she do? ”

"Niangniang......" Bing'er was a little confused, but saw Su Wenmei walk up to the dead assassin, pick up the dagger beside her, and carve a Mo character on the carpet.

With ten percent of her strength, the dagger pierced the carpet and left marks on the floor tiles. She finished carving very quickly, then put the dagger back into the scabbard, and quickly removed her clothes and jewelry: "Drag her body to the ground and change my clothes and jewelry for her." ”

"Niangniang......" Bing'er seemed to understand something and looked at Su Wenmei.

"Bing'er, let's take the opportunity to escape from the palace, everything in the future is not yet known, are you still willing to follow me?" Su Wenmei didn't wait for her to finish, so she opened her mouth to ask. The grounding period has passed, and the token given to her by Cheng Qian can still ensure that she leaves the palace for now.

"Of course I do, slaves and maids are willing to live and die together. The only thing I am worried about is that I have wronged my mother. ”

Su Wenmei smiled bitterly: "Then you hurry up and change my clothes and jewelry to her, I'll go get two clothes, and let's go out of the city quickly." ”

After a while, the Jinyun Palace was full of flames. Cheng Qian was talking to the Queen Mother in the palace of the Queen Mother, and his heart hurt for no reason, he faintly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he couldn't say the specific feelings.

"Emperor." Seeing his slightly uncomfortable expression, the Queen Mother asked softly: "Is the emperor unwell?" ”

"No problem." Cheng Qian shook his head: "I felt a little pain in my heart just now for no reason, but now it's out of the way." He smiled: "The queen mother just talked to her son about Shang Shuling......

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother." Shu Yun looked flustered, hurriedly came in from outside the hall, and knelt down: "Just now, the palace maids of Jinyun Palace came to report that Jinyun Palace was out of water, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs went to put out the fire, but the fire was too big to suppress it for the time being." ”

"What?!" Cheng Qian stood up from his chair suddenly: "Jinyun Palace? What about Wen Mei, can she be in the palace?! ”

Shu Yun was a little surprised when he looked at him so gaffe: "Yes." ”

Cheng Qian didn't care about his demeanor anymore, and he didn't say hello to the Queen Mother, so he hurriedly walked out of Shou'an Palace, looked in the direction of Jinyun Palace, and in the distance, he saw the monstrous smoke of Jinyun Palace in the night light.

Cheng Qian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ran in the direction of Jinyun Palace. The Queen Mother followed and shouted to him: "Emperor! ”

Cheng Qian didn't hear it and went straight to Jinyun Palace. The queen mother's heart sank suddenly, there are more infatuated species in Xiling Kingdom, and her own son is one more than nine times out of ten.

Cheng Qian ran wildly all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of Jinyun Palace, he saw that Concubine Hui had already heard the wind and rushed to fight the fire, and stood at the gate of Jinyun Palace. When everyone saw the emperor, they knelt down one after another: "Slaves (slaves) see the emperor."

They also rushed back to their palace after teaching Mama to teach, and saw Jinyun Palace on fire from a distance on the road, and told Hui Concubine Niangniang, and got the permission of Hui Concubine Niangniang, so they rushed over to rescue the palace maid and eunuch of Jinyun Palace.

Previously, the masters of each palace were all staying in their own palaces, and the palace maids and eunuchs were listening to the training, which coincided with the change of guards, so it was not until the Jinyun Palace was in flames that the palace maids who returned to the palace after listening to the training found that the Jinyun Palace was on fire, and the fire was so fast that no one knew how long it had burned.

"Leave me alone, you go and put out the fire!" Cheng Qian said, and the female eunuchs of the palace hurriedly got up and continued the movements in their hands, not daring to delay for a moment.

Cheng Qian looked at the fire that had not yet been extinguished, and finally made up his mind, regardless of anything else, and rushed straight to Jinyun Palace, and everyone was shocked: "Your Majesty! ”
