Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Imperial Assassination
She travels from south to north and has always been casual. She really didn't care about such a thing. However, the palace she entered today is a place with strict hierarchies and strict systems, and a place where you will lose your head if you are not careful!
The emperor's morning court, just like the news broadcast at seven o'clock in the morning every day, represents the beginning of a new day, and is also a representative of a country, so their time is more demanding.
Therefore, the palace country will generally have two preparations, one is that there is a special person responsible for the watch, and the other is that the secretary will carefully raise a big rooster and release it at dawn, with a loud voice, comparable to a watch!
When she came out, the weather was good, and the sky was full of stars. Not long after the day of the watch, the crisp sound of the gong struck a seed in her subconscious, a seed that would be played when the time came. Coupled with the fact that it was approaching dawn, the sky was overcast, and there was no difference between it and the night, and she was not suspicious when it was late at night!
All kinds of coincidences are linked together, and she is careless!
Until that extremely light 'ding' sound, like an electric current passed through her head in an instant.
By the time I reacted, it was too late!!
Yu Linglong was also a little depressed, and the palace maid got up, which meant that the actions of the day in each palace were about to begin, and the number of guards would reach a level. The state of security will also be completely different from that at night!
It's okay for her to come alone, but now, she still has Chu Qing with her!
Yu Linglong suddenly felt that her brain hurt a little, and out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Fu Shengrui, who was squatting under the window, suddenly inhaled sharply, and stuck to the wall tightly like a gecko, under the eyes of the woman in black who was standing by the window with a gloomy face, and Xiao Luzi and Xiao Luzi were stunned and flashed out against the wall like a crab!
And the gloomy woman didn't even see it!
Yu Linglong was slightly shocked, I didn't expect this kind of operation! Just as he was about to ask Chu Qing if he wanted to walk against the wall like that bullshit celestial master, he heard Chu Qing's voice with unknown meaning slowly coming over: "To be a god stick, you also have to have a certain amount of luck." ”
It is you who fool people, in addition to having a little ability, but also have the luck of the right time and place to help you, which will create the miracle of your life.
The woman in black stared at the sky above the window for a long time before turning away.
Chu Qing suddenly began to untie his coat, stuffed it into Yu Linglong's arms, and said in a deep voice to Yu Linglong's puzzled expression: "Leaving the palace during the day is tantamount to a fool's dream. Take advantage of the time of day and night now, you hurry up and leave the palace! ”
Yu Linglong's eyebrows twitched: "What about you?" ”
Chu Qing turned his head, raised his chin and gestured to the lone little girl in the window who was hurriedly combing her hair and wearing beaded flowers: "According to the woman in black, the system here is afraid that the darker the color, the higher the status, this group of little girls are wearing pink bandeau dresses very beautifully, and it is estimated that they are palace maids who are in charge of leading the way, cleaning the courtyard and watering flowers." I'm here for a day, and it's not too much of a problem. She didn't know how much the old emperor liked Momo, but judging from Jun Qingchen's complexion, presumably the old emperor would not be much worse off on his son.
In the palace area, the old man who has lived for decades knows better than anyone what kind of criticism and danger a child of unknown origin will suffer, and this place is relatively remote, so if she is not mistaken, her son should be hidden in a safer place by the old emperor.
Her eyes sank slightly.
As for the purpose, it is very likely that because Momo is the son of Jun Qingchen, the old emperor will love the house and Wu. And keeping Momo by his side is afraid that it is also a means to persecute Jun Qingchen.
Chu Qing made a decision, Yu Linglong no longer hesitated, said 'Be careful', and the whole person disappeared into the dark woods.
Chu Qing covered her veil, the palace maid's time was tight, and many things were done according to time, so when the lonely little girl secretly got up and wore beaded flowers, all the other little palace maids were led by the woman in black to the bathroom and washed together.
Taking advantage of the retreat of the group of palace maids who were like ant troops, Chu Qing easily climbed into the window, and walked lightly behind the flustered little palace maid, and with a slight prick of the silver needle, the little girl didn't even snort, and as soon as her head tilted, she was about to fall to the ground.
Chu Qing grabbed her body, gently put it on the ground, and began to pick up her clothes.
This little girl may be in too much of a hurry, and the more complicated clothes are not tied well, which also saves Chu Qing a lot of time. The palace clothes were not heavy, and there was a gold thread hooked on the edge of the embroidery on the hem, Chu Qing only blocked a glance, and didn't think much about it, but in a moment, he put the suit on his body, combed his hair in a bun and put on the beaded flowers very quickly, Chu Qing turned over the little girl who fell to the ground.
Although the little girl has a beautiful face, the corners of her eyes have fine lines that should not be there at her age, and although there is a lot of powder on her face, the birthmarks under the corners of her eyes can't be covered.
Chu Qing twisted her eyebrows slightly, stuffed the little girl under the bed, and just put a birthmark on her face, the palace maid in black suddenly appeared behind her: "It's too early to lose your life!" ”
Chu Qing's eyes were cold, he turned around tremblingly, lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes, and didn't dare to say a word.
The black-clothed palace maid saw that she was already dressed, and there was a hint of relief in the ruthless color in her eyes: "The father-in-law of Zhaoyi Palace is almost here, and we don't have much time." ”
The woman's voice was low and vague. Chu Qing nodded timidly.
The woman in black nodded with satisfaction, and led Chu Qing out, the previous wave of palace maids had already dressed up, and stood there in a row, Chu Qing walked over quickly, stood with them, and waited for the woman in black to speak.
The black-clothed palace maid glanced at the people in front of her, and her deliberately lowered voice revealed a hint of unusualness: "Are you all ready?" ”
Chu Qing's heart jumped, and he followed the crowd: "Yes." ”
"Let's go!"
At this time, the sky suddenly sprinkled a golden light from the morning, everything in the world seemed to come to life in an instant, the land of vain, the morning dew was gentle, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and a large area of green plants fell in Chu Qing's lowered eyes, which was refreshing.
She lowered her head, and there was a burst of compact armor crashing sounds in her ears, and the group of guards with swords in front of the palace trotted past Chu Qing and the others, and ran towards the front of the palace with a serious face.
The black-clothed palace maid led them to stand aside, and the group of guards didn't run out for long, and another team of armored guards ran over, this time, there were many more people than the previous one, Chu Qing and the others took a slight step back.
This wave of people has not finished walking, and then nearly a hundred soldiers in white and blue armor ran over, passing in front of Chu Qing in a mighty way, followed by a large wave of eunuchs with their heads bowed and dressed in navy blue, and then followed by a hundred palace maids in crimson palace clothes, the number of people and the momentum were so great that Chu Qing's heart jumped with his head down.
It's normal to patrol in the palace, but it's just a moment of effort, isn't it unusual that there are more people passing by?
The palace maid in black suddenly shouted softly: "Keep up!" ”
Chu Qing ran forward with the large army, she quietly looked up, only to see the crowd in front of her, and she could barely hear a person talking when she ran with her legs raised.
After a while, they ran to the front of a very wide hall, the crowd suddenly stopped, and the black-clothed palace maid who led them suddenly made an exception and said to them: "Imperial palace maid, come out!" ”
Chu Qing's pupils shrank, Imperial Palace?
She lowered her head and was shocked to see the gold thread of the flower on the hem of her clothes.
In front of everyone's eyes, she suddenly felt that her scalp tightened, tried to suppress the ominous premonition in her heart, and walked in front of nearly a thousand people with her head down.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, after they walked to the front, the woman in black immediately stood beside Chu Qing.
There was silence for a long time, and suddenly a shrill voice pierced the sky.
"Concubine Wen drove to ————"
As the palace maid in front of the palace, the black-clothed palace maid led Chu Qing and the others to kneel down first.
Suddenly, a pleasant sound of pearls and jades colliding, a woman dressed in a bright red gold-threaded phoenix robe, combing a noble phoenix flying bun, the golden hairpin is full of hair, the red sapphire reflects each other, and the high-quality gold beads are connected into a line, and the long hangs down on her forehead, and a little cinnabar between the eyebrows, which is gorgeous.
The woman's face is noble, her eyebrows are slightly upturned with misty thin eyebrows, and her round eyes are not angry and self-righteous dyed with delicate dark red eye shadow, and the aura of the whole person is powerful, and she does not tolerate the slightest violation by others.
Chu Qing ran to the ground and retracted his gaze.
The woman who was called Concubine Wen by the little eunuch had not yet stood firmly, and the woman in black who had been kneeling beside her suddenly laughed, grabbed Chu Qing's hand, Chu Qing turned her head, and saw a touch of madness on her face. Horrified, she had already dragged Chu Qing to kneel in front of the woman: "Guifei Niangniang!! ”
Wen Wei lowered his eyes with a hint of unhappiness: "What's the matter?" ”
The woman in black raised her head, pinched Chu Qing's chin violently, and forced her to look at Wen Wei: "Niangniang, this little girl is the woman who stabbed His Highness Eleven that night!" The slave girl saw it that night, and the birthmark on her face was proof!! ”
Wen Wei was furious, the scene of the eleventh prince covered in blood was vivid, no matter whether what the woman in black said was true or not, she had already brought a trace of anger, and temporarily forgot what was about to happen. Turned around and drew the knife in the waist of the guard beside him, and was about to cut it at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing's face changed, and seeing that the knife in Wen Xuan's hand was about to fall, the black-clothed palace maid kneeling beside her suddenly tightened her eyes, and instantly pulled out a sharp blade from her waist, and several other palace maids not far from them suddenly pulled out their sharp blades from their waists one by one, instantly killing the palace maid and eunuch who had not yet reacted, and killing in the direction of Wen Wei.
That Wen Wei looked weak, and at the moment when the woman in black pulled out the sharp blade, the blade turned, and forcibly blocked the knife that the woman in black stabbed over, and the woman in black obviously had a hand, so she pulled out a knife from the handle, and cut Wen Wei's wrist out of a long bloody hole.
Suddenly, blood splashed, Concubine Wen screamed miserably, and retreated again and again.
Everything happened in an instant, and by the time the guards reacted, the woman in black had already laughed and stood up, pointed at Wen Wei with a sharp blade, and said angrily: "Let you give my master his life today!" ”
