Chapter 395: The Bloody Handprints on the Palace Gate
Inside, the pink veil fluttered in the wind, and a man was sitting at a table with his heart open, munching on meat and drinking. At this time, a woman walked in from outside the door, the woman was dressed in a strong suit, and her indescribable heroic posture was sassy.
"Master, those people have made trouble at the gate of the palace today, and Emperor Beichen ordered the imperial forest army of the palace to patrol the city, saying that you must be caught." The woman said respectfully.
"Oh? Catch me? Hmph, that's what he has to catch. If you send out all the Imperial Guards, won't the palace allow me to come and go by myself? The man teased.
"Does the master mean to go into the palace and go around?" The woman said tentatively.
"Master, I've heard for a long time, that queen is the color of the city, even the girls around her are all born flowers and moons, if you can kiss Fangze, wouldn't it be happy." The man raised an eyebrow.
"But master, I heard that the girl next to the queen is good at martial arts, and her martial arts are not weak, she is now pregnant, what is the emperor's baby, she is by her side all night, the master is not very easy to start." The woman said with some jealousy.
She has been in love with her master for a long time, although she is already the master's woman, but the master's woman is too many, she is nothing in the master's heart at all, at best she is a bed warmer.
I raised my eyebrows slightly, and then hooked my lips and smiled: "Oh? Martial arts? That's great, those rich daughters in the city, they look pretty good, they don't have the power to resist, but they make me feel boring, if you meet a strong martial artist, wouldn't it be more interesting? ”
"As long as the master is willing, the slave and maid are willing to help the master succeed." The woman arched her hand.
"Ruyue, the master knows your loyalty, and he also knows your thoughts about the master, but now the master's major affairs have not been accomplished, and nothing else can be done." The man said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, the master and the slave and maid understand. So ...... tonight" Ruyue looked at the man and hesitated a little.
If the master is in need, she can serve her well at any time, and in recent times, the master has always gone out to pick flowers, although this is done to cause a commotion in the city, but when she thinks of the women who have been with the master, she hates itchy.
The man glanced at Ruyue, "I won't go out tonight, and I have to think about how to get into the palace." The man smirked.
Seeing this, Ruyue could only bow her head helplessly, the master would rather rest alone than serve her, did the master dislike her? But she never asked her master for anything, as long as she could silently guard her master's side, she would be satisfied.
It was night, half of the Royal Forest Army patrolled the streets and alleys of Cloud City, and after a few days, no trace of flower thieves was found in Cloud City. Just when everyone thought that the flower thief was scared and had already left Cloud City, the bloody handprint was eye-catching on the gate of the palace.
As soon as this incident came out, the news quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of Cloud City, teahouses, restaurants, and people could be heard talking about it everywhere.
"Brother Zhong, this flower thief is too rampant, he actually printed the bloody handprint on the palace gate, could it be that he is going to attack the women in the palace?"
"It's very likely, the flower thief knew that the emperor sent the Imperial Forest Army to patrol the security in the city, and he was afraid of being caught, so he wanted to go to the palace to do bad things, but there are still more than half of the Royal Forest Army left behind in the palace, where he wants to enter, he can enter."
"However, the emperor is now only the queen, and the queen is pregnant, the emperor is with him every step of the way, does the flower thief want to attack those palace maids? Pity my sister on an errand in the palace, don't let the flower thief touch it. The man said anxiously.
"What? Amin, you're saying that Chunlan will be in danger? Then how can I do it, when she leaves the palace, she will marry me as a daughter-in-law, if she is given by a flower thief...... Alas. The man sighed.
Helplessly, they are all poor people, it is very difficult and difficult to survive in this troubled world, the palace is not everyone can enter, although every month the palace will arrange for the palace maid to meet with the people at home, but it is only in the palace North Garden, and the whole process will be watched by the palace guards and eunuchs, once you find that something is wrong, immediately arrest it, as long as the evidence is conclusive, you can be killed on the spot.
Since the opening of the Beichen Dynasty, there have been such rules and precedents, so no one will dare to take such a big risk. But now that this flower thief is actually eyeing the palace, and they have no way to inform Chunlan, how can it be good.
In the imperial study, several important ministers of the court and the commanders of the Imperial Forest Army are standing in the imperial study, and now this flower thief has already provoked the royal family, if something happens to the women in the palace tonight, then their heads will not be needed.
"Bastard, he dared to provoke the royal family, this flower thief is really bold." Ning Wang patted the table next to him angrily.
"Uncle Wang, don't be angry yet, this flower thief is just a temptation, I guessed that he won't come tonight, he won't really start until everyone relaxes." Nangong Yihan said lightly.
"But the emperor, now that Niangniang is pregnant, Niangniang's beauty is known to the world, in case it ......" Nangong Kai said anxiously.
Although the woman he likes is the queen, that can't stop him from liking it silently, if he can watch her happy, then he is also happy. This sentence is very familiar, and it is precisely because she is right that he will do it.
"You don't have to worry, these are the latest medicinal powders in the palace, and this phosphor, as long as you put the phosphor near the doors and windows, as long as he enters, it will get on his body, so that at night, the Royal Forest Army will not lose its target." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Ning Wang stared at the box of white powder, this phosphor only emits a faint light at night, how could the flower thief be stupid enough to see the phosphor and enter, isn't that a self-defeating net?
"Niangniang, you do this, it doesn't work, the flower thief is strong in martial arts, how could he not find out about the existence of phosphor?" King Ning shook his head and said.
He is really not optimistic about this method, people who are mixed in the rivers and lakes, whether it is a thief or a thief, will be very cautious, phosphor is not a rare thing, the other party has such a ability, I think it is not a person who has never seen the world, if the queen deals with a big thief according to the method of the other party's small thief, it is indeed very inconsiderate.
However, Chu Lixue did not pay attention to King Ning's worries, and continued: "This is the latest configuration of poisonous powder, this poisonous powder is not the same as before, the poisoned person will feel dizzy and dizzy at the moment, and his whole body is sore, since that flower thief is strong in martial arts, this palace is ready to wait for him to come." Later, let the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards in the palace all go to Fengluan Palace to receive the poison powder, as long as they encounter suspicious characters, they can sprinkle the poison powder on the other party. ”
As soon as the words fell, Chu Lixue's approach was once again opposed by the courtiers, "Queen Mother, this matter of catching thieves should be handed over to the emperor for arrangement, how can you make your own decisions like this?" Besides, the safety of the palace and the Imperial Forest Army, the mother is pregnant, so it's better to have a good baby. ”
It was the Ministry of Rites who spoke, and he suggested that the emperor take a concubine many times, although the emperor had a loose mouth to start the selection, but in order to appease the pregnant queen, there was still no time to approve the palace election, which made his daughter wait at home for a long time, and he was really a guy who occupied the pit and didn't.
"Lord Feng, do you want to talk about Si Chen, the chicken of this palace?" Chu Lixue's cold eyes swept over the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu saw the killing intent in Chu Lixue's eyes, so he could only swallow his saliva and stop speaking.
No matter how you say that this is the queen, he is not good at arguing with the queen in front of the courtiers and the emperor, even if he wins the argument by himself, but a big charge of disrespect will be detained.
Chu Lixue saw that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu no longer spoke, squinted at him and continued: "Lord Feng, this palace knows that you have always wanted the emperor to choose a concubine, and the emperor has agreed, but the emperor has been unwilling to choose the palace for a long time, your baby daughter will not be able to enter the palace to serve, and you will not be able to jump to the rank of national ruler among the hundred officials." You have a grudge against this palace in your heart, and this palace also knows it, originally, this palace thought that it would directly let Miss Feng enter the palace to serve, but who knew that such a thing happened. If this flower thief is not caught, and Miss Feng enters the palace again, who will you let protect her? ”
Hearing this, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu hit a spirit, this queen is really powerful, what he said is high-sounding, he just wants to say that after his daughter enters the palace, she will encounter flower thieves and lose her temperament, if the harem concubine is out of order, it is directly given to Bai Aya, this vicious woman, she cursed her daughter like this. Fortunately, her mother's family has no power in the court, although there is a very long princess and Dingguo Marquis in the Medicine King Valley, that Medicine King Valley is at best just a businessman selling medicinal materials in the rivers and lakes, as for the eldest princess and the Dingguo Marquis, after all, they can't be compared with their own daughter, if it really comes to a critical moment, see how long she can be proud.
The thoughts in the heart of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu have naturally been guessed by Chu Lixue, but she is still difficult to say. The emperor's choice of concubines is just to seal the mouths of the ministers. As long as there is no palace election, those women will not be able to enter the palace to serve, which is also what Nangong Yihan considered for fear that he would be hurt.
After some time, Nangong Yihan will find another excuse to cancel the palace election and let those women marry each other. But who knew that at this moment, there was a flower thief, and he was an extremely arrogant guy, and after catching that guy, he must be castrated as a eunuch.
King Ning saw that Chu Lixue's face was angry, so he had to hurry up to play a round, "The queen mother is angry, the old ministers definitely don't mean this, it's just that the mother wants everyone to take the poison, what if you hurt yourself?" ”
"King Ning, you don't have to worry, since there is poison, there must be an antidote, as long as everyone takes the antidote first, you don't have to worry about being injured by mistake." After finishing speaking, Chu Lixue waved her hand at Rean Xue, and then Rean Xue and Ning Xiang left with their things first.
