Chapter 138: Extinguishing the Mouth
Situ Nan waited for a long time, but did not see Song Leiyi come out of the house, and finally had to leave first, ordering people to guard the city gate, and once someone from the general's mansion appeared, he would stop him immediately.
Song Leiyi's martial arts are not weak, even if Situ Nan does it himself, he is afraid that he will miss. It is not an easy thing to kill Song Leiyi silently. What's more, the General's Mansion is full of people, and it won't be good if the two of them are seen by others when they are doing it. So Situ Nan's plan was to wait for the dead of night to stun Song Leiyi before he started.
Situ Nan returned to the palace to prepare, and after waiting for the second half of the night, Situ Nan returned to the general's mansion again.
Coming to Song Leiyi's door with light steps, Situ Nan only started after making sure that Song Leiyi had rested. Inserting the incense into the door, Situ Nan waited for about a quarter of an hour, opened the door, and walked in.
Walking to the bedside, Situ Nan looked at Song Leiyi lying on the bed, quickly pulled out the dagger, covered Song Leiyi's mouth with one hand, raised the dagger with the other, and stabbed Song Leiyi's throat murderously.
After killing Song Leiyi, Situ Nan's heart was inevitably a little sad.
"It is the emperor's will to let you die. But this king assures you that no matter what happens, Song Lingfeng's life will definitely be saved. ”
After Situ Nan muttered such words, he began to search Song Leiyi's room. After finding the holy decree hidden at the head of the bed, Situ Nan put away Song Lingfeng's letter and carried Song Leiyi's body out of the room.
After everything was processed, Situ Nan did not rest, but entered the palace to see Situ Rui.
Situ Nan handed the holy decree and the letter to Situ Rui, looking at Situ Rui's expression when he looked at these two things, Situ Nan asked in a low voice: "Now that Song Leiming and Song Leiyi are dead, if Song Lingfeng comes back, how should I explain it to him?" ”
"Let's just say it's the shadows." Situ Rui didn't hesitate to put all the blame on the shadow. "Anyway, no one has seen you do it, and this decree has reached our hands. However, are you sure that Song Leiyi didn't tell the other Song family about this? I don't worry, it's better to kill the rest of the Song family, what do you think? ”
Situ Ruifeng said lightly, but Situ Nan was terrified when he listened.
"Both...... Killed? Situ Rui gasped and looked at Situ Rui incredulously. If so, what difference would they have from the Shadows? The Shadow once killed Liu Yuheng's entire family, and now, is it their turn to destroy the Song family? "Brother Huang, do you want to think about this matter again? The Song family has been a famous general in our country for several generations, I'm afraid it's not good to do this? ”
"I don't want to do this either, but if other people listen to Song Leiyi's words and think that I killed Song Leiming, then when Song Lingfeng comes back, how should I explain it to him?" Situ Rui looked at Situ Nan with a cold expression, and said softly: "Except for Song Leiming, Song Leiyi and Song Lingfeng, there is no one in the Song family who can be used. Now that Song Leiming and Song Leiyi are dead, I don't want to lose the remaining Song Lingfeng. ”
Situ Nan looked at Situ Rui, as if he had made up his mind. Situ Nan secretly clenched his fists, wanting to refute Situ Rui's words, but he felt that no matter what he said so far, it was in vain......
"Okay, I'll do it."
Situ Nan nodded slightly, took a deep look at Situ Rui, and turned to leave. But when it came time to carry out Situ Rui's order, Situ Nan still found it difficult to start.
Is it really going to kill everyone? In the current situation, it is indeed difficult to explain the truth of the matter to Song Lingfeng. However, do you really want to wipe out the hundreds of lives of the Song family because this was originally a lie told by the shadow?
Situ Nan has lived for so many years, and Song Leiyi is the first person to kill with his own hands. Situ Nan could still feel it, his hands trembling slightly. He didn't even want to look at Song Leiyi again after killing Song Leiyi.
After pondering it again, Situ Nan turned back to Situ Rui's residence. But what I saw was a dark room.
Situ Nan stood outside the door, with a headache. Gritting his teeth, Situ Nan turned around resolutely and headed towards the General's Mansion.
After guarding the General's Mansion for a whole night, Situ Nan did not go down after all. After dawn, Situ Nan leaned against the wall, pressed his temple, and went back to his house.
Situ Nan didn't complete the task, so he didn't have the face to see Situ Rui. But he also had to tell Situ Rui the news, telling Situ Rui that he still couldn't bear to do it and kill so many innocent lives.
Situ Rui saw the secret letter sent by Situ Nan after the morning court, and for Situ Rui, he was indeed very angry. But Situ Rui also knows Situ Nan very well, and can understand why Situ Nan can't do it.
Situ Rui's heart was in a mess, so he thought about going to Shen Yunyou to rest for a while. But when he arrived at Shen Yunyou's residence, Situ Rui did not see her figure.
"Where's the mother?" Situ Rui asked the maid in Shen Yunyou's courtyard in a cold voice.
"Back to the emperor, the slave doesn't know." The maidservants knelt timidly on the ground, and they had not seen the figure of the maiden since the morning.
"I don't know? I asked you to serve my mother, but you even said you didn't know?! Situ Rui was furious and reprimanded sharply. Then he turned around and walked out of the room to find the guards he had arranged in Shen Yunyou's courtyard to protect her.
"Back to the emperor, Niangniang was still in the room last night, and the slave never saw her leave the room."
Situ Rui got such an answer, which made his mind go blank. The uneasiness penetrated Situ Rui's limbs for a moment, making him extremely sober.
"Search every corner of the palace, and I must find out the people!"
Shen Yunyou was gone, and Situ Rui hoped in his heart that she was just going for a walk. But after looking for several hours, everyone brought back the news, but they didn't find the mother.
Situ Rui sat on the chair with misty eyes and didn't speak for a long time. Where can Shen Yunyou go? Where else can she go besides this palace?
The fists are clenched, and the joints are white. The more Situ Rui thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Pacing back and forth in Shen Yunyou's room, Situ Rui couldn't believe that Shen Yunyou had disappeared no matter what.
Let his subordinates continue to search for Shen Yunyou's figure all over the palace, but until dark, Situ Rui did not see Shen Yunyou again.
Situ Rui sat in the room with blank eyes, silent. If it weren't for Liu Xinru appearing in front of him, he would probably have sat down like that all the time.
"What a system!" Liu Xinru looked at Situ Rui, who had a decadent face, and said sharply. Forcefully dragged Situ Rui up from the chair, Liu Xinru said with a cold gaze: "Just a woman, just make you look like this!?" ”
"Queen Mother...... Situ Rui said in a hoarse voice, "she's gone." ”
"Useless stuff!" Liu Xinru couldn't get used to Situ Rui's decadent appearance, so in a fit of anger, she raised her hand and slapped Situ Rui's face.
With a "snap", Liu Xinru's expression changed when he slapped Situ Rui. Maybe Liu Xinru's strength is too great, or maybe Liu Xinru has never beaten Situ Rui once for so many years. After Situ Rui frowned, he looked directly at Liu Xinru and opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything.
"Let's not mention Shen Yunyou's matter first, the queen mother asked you, how did you handle Song Leiyi's matter?" Liu Xinru turned around and sat on the chair where Situ Rui was sitting just now, and asked.
"Erchen has already asked Situ Nan to get rid of Song Leiyi."
"Then the holy decree that Song Leiyi said, have you found it?" Liu Xinru continued to ask.
"Found it, in the hands of Erchen." Situ Rui's voice did not have any waves, as long as Liu Xinru asked something, he reflexively replied.
Liu Xinru sighed heavily when she saw Situ Rui's appearance. "What letters did Yun You leave behind?"
"No, nothing left." Situ Rui heard Liu Xinru mention Shen Yunyou, and his eyes gradually became focused. "Without warning, no one knew where she had gone. I sent people to search the entire palace, but I didn't see her figure. ”
"That's what makes people worry even more." Liu Xinru said sharply: "What is the movement over there in the shadows?" ”
Liu Xinru couldn't let go of the shadow in her heart, and because of Song Leiming's killing in the past two days, the shadow appeared again. Shen Yunyou suddenly disappeared today, and the first thing Liu Xinru thought of was whether it would have something to do with that shadow!
"Emperor, what is Shen Yunyou's different behavior in the past few days?"
Situ Rui shook his head slowly, "Everything is the same as before, no different. ”
Situ Rui followed Liu Xinru's words and thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. But there was still a trace of luck in his heart, he hoped that if this matter was related to the shadow, it was also the shadow who forcibly took Shen Yunyou away.
After Liu Xinru asked Situ Rui some questions, she asked Situ Rui not to think nonsense and take a good rest. Then, Liu Xinru left the room and went to deal with the things that Situ Rui did not understand.
Liu Xinru first called Situ Nan to the palace, because apart from Situ Rui, the whole thing was Situ Nan who knew best.
After listening patiently to Situ Nan's explanation of Song Leiming and Song Leiyi, Liu Xinru asked, "Is the jade seal of the holy decree sure to be true?" ”
"Well, Erchen has seen it, and it is indeed the seal covered by the jade seal. The emperor is also wondering what is going on. ”
Liu Xinru lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought. The jade seal can only be reached in the palace, and the only possibility is that there is a shadow in this palace. So who could this person be? Why did Shen Yunyou disappear? Does her disappearance have anything to do with this incident?
"Is it possible that the jade seal on this holy decree was secretly stamped by Shen Yunyou?"
Liu Xinru suddenly raised her head and looked at Situ Nan, and asked in a low voice.
When Situ Nan heard Liu Xinru say this, he immediately frowned. How could the emperor suspect Shen Yunyou's head?
