Chapter Twenty-Five: Murder and Silence
"Mama Song, where are you going!" A voice suddenly sounded behind her, startling Mama Song's whole body trembled, and half of the three souls and six spirits were scared away.
Seeing that it was the little girl she was familiar with, Mama Song scolded with a smile: "You little prodigal hoof, you actually made fun of me." β
The girl pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm really not playing tricks on you, the Queen Mother woke up and asked you to go over and serve." β
Mama Song nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of Ningci Palace.
As soon as she entered the door, before Mama Song could say goodbye, her head was tightly held by two guards, one on the left and one on the right, and her knees were kicked violently, and she suddenly fell to the ground as if she had fallen to the ground.
Unprepared to be detained, Mama Song was suddenly horrified, countless possibilities flashed in her mind, she raised her head slightly, but saw Lan Ruoxuan looking at herself with some regret, and her heart sank suddenly.
I only heard the Queen Mother say coldly: "Mama Song, you are also an old man, you understand what kind of temper I have." Say, who commanded you? β
"Queen Mother, what are you talking about. The old slave couldn't understand a word. Mama Song was shocked into a cold sweat, kowtowed loudly.
The Queen Mother snorted, glanced not far away, and said coldly: "I treat you well on weekdays, you won't do this because you hate me." Who instructed you? β
Mama Song's body trembled, and she howled: "The Queen Mother, the old slave is wronged, the old slave has never sprinkled Yuejiao powder, and her sincerity to the Queen Mother can be seen!" β
Kou Shu smiled faintly, and said softly without hurrying: "Mama Song, what you said, who said that the moon Jiao powder was sprinkled?" It's just that there is moon Jiao powder on it, how do you know that it was sprinkled artificially? I don't know if I accidentally rub it on. β
When Mama Song heard this, her heart trembled suddenly, knowing that she had missed her mouth, and she couldn't turn over, and the whole person seemed to be evacuated, and she fell to the ground on her stomach.
"Mama Song, you have to think clearly. The Queen Mother is merciful, if you say that you are behind the scenes, maybe you can be magnanimous and let you live, I heard that your son recently married a daughter-in-law, don't you want to go back and drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea? Kou Shu pursed her lips and smiled.
Seeing that Mama Song didn't speak, Kou Shu continued to follow the temptation: "Until now, the person behind the curtain has not moved, it can be seen that you have long been abandoned, think about how much suffering you have suffered in this life, you are looking forward to the bitterness, but in the end you want to be ruined in this kind of thing, are you really willing?" β
When Mama Song heard this, her heart became heavier and heavier, and her brain became more and more chaotic, she knew that every word that the queen mother said was right, if it was, if the queen mother was really willing to let herself go, thinking of this, she suddenly raised her head and said to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, the old slave has something to sayββ"
Before the words fell, the whole body froze, froze, and a pair of eyes stared at the ground, and fell straight down.
"There are assassinsβ" Kou Shu was the first to react and shouted, "Come on, protect the Queen Mother." β
Hearing the queen's loud shout, more than a dozen guards broke into the door for a while, surrounding several people in the house.
Everyone was stunned for half a quarter of an hour, but there was no movement.
After being frightened, the Queen Mother relieved herself, slapped the arm of the chair and shouted angrily: "Bold thief, what kind of place do you think of the palace, and what kind of person do you think of the mourning family!" β
Hearing the voice of the Queen Mother, everyone was shocked and knelt down in succession. Together with Lan Ruoxuan, who had just given birth, she also had a frightened expression, but no one saw it, but a smug smile flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Xingshi mobilized the crowd for most of the interrogation, but in the end it ended with the violent death of Mama Song, which surprised everyone. Thinking of Mama Song's death just now, there was such a terrible person in the palace, everyone couldn't help but feel a little chill on their backs, and when they left the palace, everyone looked panicked and frightened.
However, in the midst of the panic, only Lan Ruoxuan and Kou Shu had a calm face, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that Kou Shu was about to return to the palace, Lan Ruoxuan greeted her with a smile and said, "Senior sister, today's incident is really terrible. Lan Ruoxuan caressed her chest while showing a terrified look, as if she was really frightened.
Kou Shu glanced Lan Ruoxuan up and down, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that Mama Song would have followed the Queen Mother for many years to do such a heartbreaking thing, and it is even more terrifying that there are such cruel and cold-blooded people in this palace, who can directly kill people and kill people." β
"I don't know who it is, so vicious, it's-" Lan Ruoxuan snorted.
Waving his hand, Kou Shu didn't seem to care about this: "Senior sister doesn't have to worry about this matter, the emperor will track it down, and who is the person behind it, I believe it will soon be revealed." β
The last four words, Kou Shu bit extra hard, Lan Ruoxuan listened to it in her ears, she always felt uncomfortable, bent her knees slightly, and said goodbye to Kou Shu.
"Niangniang-" The mandarin duck beside him looked at Lan Ruoxuan's distant back, and said with some hesitation.
"Hmm." Kou Shu nodded: "She did it." β
Mandarin Duck nodded: "The slave maid checked Mama Song's background, and there is no one who has anything to do with such profound martial arts, and the only possibility is Concubine Lan." β
"It's not possible, it's what she did." Kou Shu smiled, and there was a meaning in her eyes that she could see through everything.
A cold smile burst out of Kou Shu's eyes, "Just now I shouted that there was an assassin, and the first reaction of normal people was to look around in a panic, only Lan Ruoxuan turned her head to look at the maid beside her. That maid named Kaori must not be simple. β
Mandarin duck frowned, speaking of which, the two maids with raw faces behind Concubine Lan only said that they were because they had sisters in the palace to defect, and they didn't say anything else, Rao is such strict information about Concubine Li's life, but there was no news at all.
Kou Shu didn't find anything here, but Song Jinyan frowned tightly in the imperial study against the information he had just sent.
Mama Song is a small character, but the hidden forces behind her should not be underestimated. Song Jinyan instructed the secret guards to go to Dali Temple to check the body. The secret guard replied that Mama Song was pierced into the artery by a very small velvet needle and died instantly. With such a small velvet needle, the murderer must be a person with extremely deep internal strength. This kind of technique is not common in the rivers and lakes, and if it is said that the Jianghu sect that has just appeared recently, I am afraid that only the Blood Pavilion that is proficient in assassination has this strength.
If there are really people in the Blood Pavilion in the palace, it means that the forces of the rivers and lakes have infiltrated the palace...... But the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace have all strictly checked their backgrounds, that is......
