Chapter 166: Inexplicable bloodstains
I was a long crowd, and I should have hid in Zhaoyang Palace and didn't come out, but I didn't know how to send a ghost to go to Taihua Hall to take a look at the Empress Dowager. I wanted to see how scared she looked, and I wanted to see with my own eyes how she felt uncomfortable.
It seems like I want to laugh at her.
Yi'er didn't understand my intentions, and when I put on my formal clothes and asked her to paint me a spiritual face, Yi'er's face was full of puzzlement.
Step by step, I walked towards the Taihua Hall with a blank face. When the slaves and maids who passed by saw me, their faces were also full of surprise, but no one dared to say much, just knelt down.
I stood outside the Taihua Palace, raised my head and looked at the three gilded characters, and strode in with a sneer on the corner of my mouth.
I had just entered the Taihua Palace, and the servants and maids in the hall had already knelt down to me. Eunuch Liu Asu's expression was very calm, and he was not surprised to see me at this moment, as if it was a matter of course for me to come.
I walked directly to the Empress Dowager's inner chamber, and no one stopped me. It didn't seem that anyone dared to stop me, but Liu Asu followed closely and said, "Guifei Niangniang, the Empress Dowager is asleep, it's not the right time for you to come at this time." ”
"This palace will see if the ancestors are okay, and this palace can take a look." I said indifferently, and my footsteps did not stop, and I kept going to the inner room.
Seeing that I had already said this, Liu Asu didn't say anything more, but she followed me closely and followed me to the Queen Mother's bedside.
On the bed, in the brocade quilt, the Empress Dowager fell asleep peacefully, and that look was still clear in my mind.
I raised my hand lightly, and said to Yi'er and Liu Asu behind me without looking back, "This palace wants to see the Empress Dowager alone, you should retreat first." ”
Yi'er hurriedly answered me, but Liu Asu hesitated before answering me.
I listened to the steps of the two of them retreat, and a faint smile appeared on my lips, and this smile was a stiff laugh, a sarcastic laugh.
I just stood on the edge of the bed, staring at the person on the couch, and I felt the urge to kill her with my own hands.
It was as if my hands were on her neck until she died. My fists were already clenched in my sleeves, and this tightness was controlling my emotions.
She is the culprit who killed the entire family of my family, she can't tolerate my father, and she didn't even let go of the young children of the B family back then.
I can't kill her here, if I really kill her, the people in my Zhaoyang Palace will also be implicated, and I can't affect anyone else.
I relaxed my impulsive heart for a moment, and stared at the man on the bed in disgust for a long time before I regained my expression and walked out of the inner room.
Liu Asu was at the door curtain, saluted me again, and sent me out of the Taihua Palace. After I walked out of the gate of the Taihua Palace, I could still feel Liu Asu standing in front of the main hall and looking at my back suspiciously.
I just returned to Zhaoyang Palace, and Zhang Xinpu gave me a sad piece of news, Xuanjia died in prison, and he committed suicide by biting his tongue.
I couldn't stand on my feet when my feet were weak, and Yi'er hurriedly helped me. I had an unbearable headache and sat quietly in a soft chair with my forehead on my back.
Zhang Xinpu may have sensed that I was too concerned about these assassins who broke into the palace, and he seemed to be suspicious of me.
But I know that these minions, even if they know something, don't dare to say much, for fear of getting into trouble.
Zhang Xinpu looked at me for a while, and then said softly in front of me again, "When the King of Beihai went to the prison to interrogate the assassin, that person sneered at His Royal Highness the King of Beihai, and His Highness was angry and wanted to torture Bai Rui from that person's mouth, but that person didn't say a word, and he bit his tongue in front of the King of Beihai and committed suicide......
After hearing this, I smiled coldly, and only I understood that smile.
Xuan Jia is not afraid to tell Xiao Jingqi's whereabouts, he knows the unclear relationship between me and Xiao Jingqi. Xuanjia was afraid that I would be sad, and I was afraid that if he told Xiao Jingqi's whereabouts and let the court arrest him, I would be sad.
The person Xuanjia cares about is me.
He chose to commit suicide for me, and perhaps at the moment of death, his heart was worried about me.
I was so angry that I couldn't control my emotions for a while, so I spread my hands and flipped the teapot and teacup on the table to the ground, breaking the porcelain pieces on the ground.
Zhu Yan hurriedly looked at my hand and asked worriedly, "Is Niangniang's hand okay?" ”
I was indifferent and speechless, just staring at it.
That night, I was drinking wine in the study of the side hall, and in recent days, I have returned to the time when the B family was exterminated, and I was disheartened, secretly sad, and my melancholy mood became heavier and heavier.
I'm alone, I don't need anyone to be around me, I just want to be alone.
Yi'er had been to the door of the side hall, and I knew she was worried about me, but I didn't even want to see her.
I just want to drink alone.
Thinking of Xuanjia, I burst into tears, back then, he and You Ran, Li Amaran'er were my most loyal subordinates, and I didn't hide much from them.
Some of them faithfully obeyed my words, and never slackened when I commanded anything.
Without them, in Qingfeng Gate, I wouldn't have made great achievements, because because of them, I grew up step by step.
I wiped my tears and just went through the memories one cup after another......
When I awoke, it was light, and I was lying on the desk in the side hall, and when I opened my eyes, I was dazzled by the light of the window.
My head hurts, I feel sleepy, and I feel so weak.
I rubbed my temples to keep myself awake, but in a trance I noticed blood on my sleeves.
I woke up in an instant, and my other hand wiped the blood on my sleeve vigorously, and the blood seemed to be dry.
Where did the blood come from?
I sat up to myself in confusion, unable to remember for a moment. I suddenly remembered that I went to the Taihua Palace yesterday, and the feeling of wanting to kill people, could it be that I couldn't control myself from stealing the Taihua Palace and killing the Queen Mother because I drank alcohol last night?
I was in a state of confusion, holding my head, thinking hard, trying to remember something, even if I really went to Taihua Hall to kill someone, I should have a memory, but why can't I remember.
I stood up in a panic, ready to go and see if something really happened to the Empress Dowager? But when I stepped out of the desk, I saw a small corner of my clothes peeking out through the gap in the door of the cabinet by the wall.
I froze, and stiffly whispered toward the cabinet. There should be someone inside, and there must be someone hiding inside.
My hand trembled and gently opened the door of the cabinet, and the moment the door opened, it was Yinglin who appeared in front of me, but her eyes were closed and there were blood stains on her chest.
She didn't move, just curled up in the cabinet with such difficulty. I trembled my fingers and gently probed her snort, and when my hand stopped in front of her nose, I was so frightened that I withdrew my hand, and I took two steps back in a daze, and almost fell.
Yinglin is dead......
What the hell is going on! Why is Yinglin dead, and she is still the same in my side hall......
I was pale, flustered, and couldn't believe it.
What the hell is all this going on?
Why don't I have any impressions! Here's why!
Did I kill her, did I kill her? Could it be that I drank too much last night, and Yinglin came to me, so I killed her?
But Yinglin has been meditating in her slave dwelling, I didn't let her come out, why did she come here?
When I couldn't control my thoughts, someone knocked on the door at the door of the hall, and Yi'er's voice sounded, "Niangniang, it's a slave, Yi'er." ”
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down towards the door, "Come in." ”
I was still standing in front of the cabinet, staring blankly at Yinglin's corpse.
Yi'er pushed the door in, then closed the door again, and walked quietly in front of me, and when she looked at Yinglin in the cabinet with my gaze, she didn't move, as if she knew it earlier.
"Don't worry, Yi'er will take care of it, it's already dawn at this time, and when it's night, Yi'er quietly buries Sister Yinglin."
I stopped my gaze on Yi'er's face, looked at her in a trance, and asked softly, "It was Hongu who killed Yinglin, didn't it?" ”
Yi'er looked at me unusually calmly and said, "No, it's not Niangniang, it's Yi'er's hand." ”
"You?" I stared at her in confusion.
What the hell is going on, why did she kill Yinglin?
If Yi'er kills Yinglin, what will happen to the blood stains on my sleeves!
Yi'er saw me looking down at my sleeves, so she said, "Niangniang was drunk last night, Sister Yinglin came to find Niangniang, Niangniang was in a bad mood and blamed Sister Yinglin for being the eyeliner of His Royal Highness the King of Beihai, and she was angry. Niangniang also said that Xuanjia's death was forced to death by His Royal Highness the King of Beihai, so Niangniang was angry with Sister Yinglin, and slapped Sister Yinglin, Sister Yinglin suddenly pushed Niangniang, and did what a slave should not have, Yi'er happened to come in to see Niangniang at that time, and saw that Niangniang should not be bullied by a slave, so she took out the scissors in the study and stabbed Sister Yinglin, and Sister Yinglin died......"
I listened to Yi'er's words like a wooden chicken, unable to believe what she said.
Yi'er glanced at me and continued, "After Yi'er hid Sister Yinglin's body in the cabinet, she went to change her clothes after comforting her mother, Sister Yinglin's blood was splashed on Yi'er's body, and Yi'er was afraid that others would see it, so she went to change her clothes before coming back." ”
"Niangniang must have been tired just now, so she fell asleep on the table."
Yi'er said these and looked out the window, "It's already dawn outside, at this time, the corpse of Sister Yinglin will definitely be discovered, or will it be dealt with after the evening, does Niang Niang think it's good?" ”
I smiled tremblingly, smiled again, looked at Yi'er blankly, and raised my hand to slap her.
"Even if Yinglin pushes the palace again, the palace doesn't want her to die!"
I was furious.
Yi'er hung her head, and stopped talking at this time.
"Niangniang wants to blame Yi'er, the slave has no opinion, this is the slave's fault." Yi'er said again after a long time.
There were tears in my eyes, after all, Yinglin had been with me for many years, and she had always been loyal to me in my mind.
is loyal, loyal to Gao Zhaorong.
Even if I knew about some conspiracy between her and the King of the North Sea this time, I didn't think about letting her die, I didn't think about it......
However, at this time, I feel ......
My head, my heart, how ......
I didn't feel like that in my daze......
I walked out of the side hall and returned to the inner room, frantically ripped off the bloody clothes on my body, threw them aside, and fell asleep on the bed, I was so tired, it was as if I hadn't slept all night......
Yinglin I'm sorry, I didn't think it would be like this.
Is it really as Yi'er said? It really has nothing to do with me? Isn't it my hand?
