Chapter 13: Murder
"Xiaorou, you are really good to me." Bai Yiyi seemed to be moved by Xiao Rou's words, "You will always think about me, but you shouldn't be good to the princess because you think of the princess's family background, you should treat anyone with courtesy." ”
"Yes, slave understands." Xiao Rou nodded, "But the slave maid just can't swallow this breath, obviously you are the princess of the North in everyone's hearts." ”
"Alright, Xiaorou!" Bai Yiyi's face sank, "Don't say such things again in the future, there is nothing in your heart, facts are facts." ”
"Yes." Xiao Rou lowered her head and said, facing Bai Yiyi's angry appearance, and then thinking of the sharp Su Dye painting. The two are really far apart, and Bai Yiyi's anger is so weak.
"Okay, you go to the dining room first to get some food for the princess, she didn't eat anything when she woke up in the morning." Bai Yiyi softened her voice and said.
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Xiao Rou could only swallow a sigh secretly, her young lady was too good.
Looking at Xiao Rou's distant back, Bai Yiyi's originally soft gaze gradually became full of gloom, her hands crossed in her sleeves, and her neatly trimmed nails were almost embedded in the flesh.
What do you say that she is afraid that the prime minister will be embarrassed for her, it is clear that she is threatened by Su Ranhua, and she is afraid of things! Hmph, I know that the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, putting on a loyal and protective appearance, and I am timid before I am allowed to do serious things, and I am good at advocating for Su Ranhua without her permission, so it is easy to betray the master, and it is a scourge to keep it!
Bai Yiyi's eyes became more and more gloomy, and it seemed to be stained with a layer of blood.
Su Ranhua lived in a clean and tidy room, although it was very small and the layout was very simple, but it was enough for Su Ranhua, and she did not forget to tell the maid to find pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Practicing calligraphy is a habit she brought about in her previous life.
It seems that with the order of the prince, Steward Lin did not arrange for Su Ranhua to summon the girl, and after the house was cleaned up, the maids who were found by Xiaorou left, leaving Su Ranhua alone, lying alone on the bed.
Someone sent a decoction to Su Ranhua, and after drinking it, his body condition was slightly better, but after all, he had experienced a miscarriage and had a cold, so he had no chance to recuperate carefully, and his physical recovery was very slow.
Xiao Rou quietly pushed the door in, and brought some food, very well-behaved and responsible, and had long lost the arrogance of hatred, after all, the protector also had to have a degree, and if it involved his own safety, he had to weigh it.
"Xiaorou, your care for this princess, this princess will remember it." Su Ranhua glanced at Xiao Rou and said.
Xiaorou didn't say anything, she didn't expect a reward or anything, as long as Su Ranhua didn't care about what she did, and didn't use the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion to teach her a lesson, thank God.
"Here's this." Su Ranhua plucked a hairpin from his head, which was one of the only few headdresses he wore on his head when he wore it to this body, after all, he was married to a daughter in the prime minister's mansion, and the things he matched were all superb. Su Ran Hua knew the truth of attaching equal importance to grace and power, so he pulled it out and gave it to Xiaorou.
"This ......" Xiao Rou was a little hesitant, but her greedy eyes had betrayed her psychology.
"Take it." The tone of Su Ran's painting was as decisive as a command.
"The slave has thanked the princess." Xiaorou took over the hairpin, and always did things for her, not taking it for nothing.
"You have been by Miss Bai's side for so long, you must be very familiar with the affairs of the court, give me a brief explanation to relieve your boredom." Su Ranhua said while eating. At the moment, she must find out the situation of this era as soon as possible, and it just so happens that she has time now, so she catches Xiaorou and asks.
So, under the side knock of Su Ran's painting, the effort of a meal was sorted out.
This is the Qingyuan Dynasty, this prince is the Northern King Ximen Hao, the concubine of the queen's mother; In addition, there is the emperor's eldest son, Dongwang Ximen Sheng, whose mother died early and lived in Jiangnan all the year round; The third son of the emperor, Ximen Yi, the king of the south, is the son of the emperor's favorite concubine; The fourth son of the emperor, Xiwang Ximen Zhe, the son of the unknown Concubine Yao. For the Prime Minister's Mansion, I only know that Su Ranhua is the concubine of the Prime Minister, and there is a sister named Su Ranqing who married the King of the South one step ahead of her, and is the Princess of the South.
"Okay, I'm full." Su Ranhua stretched and stood up.
"The slave and maid are gone." Xiao Rou picked up the dishes that had been swept away by Su Ran's painting and said.
"Hmm." Su Ranhua responded, it was time to rest after eating, and it must be very comfortable to sleep with her head covered in the afternoon, which is conducive to her physical recovery.
Out of the house, Xiao Rou took out a hairpin with one hand, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, she knew the value of this hairpin, as if she had picked up a treasure.
Passing by the small bridge in the pond in the park, Xiaorou stopped to look at the small fish swimming happily in the pond and took a break. As everyone knows, in this silent afternoon, there is already a figure following her, with a strong murderous aura, approaching her.
"Xiao Rou." Suddenly, a soft call made Xiaorou startled.
"Miss?" Xiao Rou turned around, saw that it was Bai Yiyi, just called out in surprise, her eyes suddenly widened, an incredible look crossed her face, the tray in her hand fell in response, and her hands were on her chest, where a knife was inserted and buried in her body.
"That's what betrayed me." Bai Yiyi's deep voice was infinitely cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Raising her hand and pushing gently, Xiao Rou, who was still breathing, fell into the pond with confusion, splashed a few splashes, and scattered the swimming fish.
Everything went on quietly, the knife was directly killed, even if there was a faint breath, Xiao Rou couldn't scream, her body was submerged in the water, and she quickly lost her breath completely.
Bai Yiyi kicked the tray and broken dishes into the pool again, and a piece of porcelain slashed at her ankle very quickly, and was kicked away by Bai Yiyi even harder.
After doing everything quickly, Bai Yiyi coldly glanced at the red pool water and left quickly. The edge of the pond was as quiet as no one had ever been, except for the discolored water of the pond that left traces of the murder.
The afternoon in the palace is silent, everyone has a chance to rest, and this pond is close to the side house where Su Ran's painting is located, and it is rare for someone to pass by, becoming the best murder scene, and even after the lunch break is over, it is still not discovered.
The first to notice that there was an abnormality in the pond was the maid who gave Su Ranhua medicine, and screamed in horror when she saw the pond stained red with blood. People from all walks of life gathered and pointed at a pool of red water.
Steward Lin ordered someone to go down to the pool to check, and found Xiao Rou, who had already lost her breath, which brought a chill to everyone in the palace.
"Xiao Rou!" Bai Yiyi's heart-rending cry resounded in the sky above the North Palace.
