At night, in the back garden of Chuxiu Palace.

A eunuch hid in the corner, he held his breath and lay behind the bushes, waiting for the patrolling guards to pass by before he dared to get up and take a breath.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed behind him, and then a hand put on his shoulder, so frightened that the eunuch staggered against the wall, and almost lost his soul!

After seeing the person clearly, he made up his mind and slowly took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead unhurriedly.

"Ouch~ I said little ancestor, do you want to scare the minions to death in the middle of the night?"

Qiu Yue didn't care about his anger at all, she only cared about what she wanted.

She looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, she lowered her head and said coldly: "What about the things that my master entrusted you to bring, did you get it?"

The little eunuch put the handkerchief back down, and took a bag of things from the other cuff and handed it to her.

"The errand that Liu Fu confessed, how dare the slave slack off? But isn't the incense candle something that the Shang Palace Bureau can get, why does Sister Qiuyue have to go to great lengths to bring it in?"

After Qiu Yue took the object, she was obviously stunned when she heard his words, and her already cold eyes were even more cold.

"Did you see what's inside?"

The sky was dark, and the eunuch didn't notice the change in Qiu Yue's expression at all.

He only looked down embarrassedly and smiled: "The slave is just curious, it's not that I'm afraid of being punished for bringing unclean things into the palace, so I took a look at it by the way, and I hope that Sister Qiuyue won't blame it!"

"Oh. Qiu Yue put the incense candle into her sleeve, and suddenly looked up and showed an unknown smile.

She took off the silver hairpin on her head and handed it to him, saying, "Then it's fine, you go back first!"

The eunuch took the silver hairpin very happily, looked at it carefully, and after he was sure that the hairpin was worth the money, he put it into his cuffs, raised his hand and saluted to take his leave.

"Thank you Sister Qiuyue for the reward, the slave will retire first, if my sister still has something to trust in the future, just come to me!"

When the eunuch had finished speaking, he turned away unsuspectingly, but as he walked to the edge of the pond, a silver needle flew through the back of his head.

After he was hit, he lost his breath immediately, and his body lost his center of gravity and fell into the water.

Qiu Yue walked up and quietly looked at the corpse floating on the water, she took out a bottle and poured the liquid inside on the eunuch.

Uproar——!

The corpse burned like a blazing fire, and pale green flames burst out of the firelight, but in a moment the corpse burned only a puddle of green water.

The water in this garden is alive, and in one night the water will take everything away, and there is no trace of it.

"Don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for being curious, you know too many things!"

After Qiu Yuewu finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the Tilting Yan Palace.

In the main hall, Liu Shishi was anxiously pacing back and forth, as soon as she heard movement outside the house, she immediately opened the door nervously pulled Qiu Yue in, and quickly closed the door.

"How's it going, is it done?"

Qiu Yue nodded, then took out the wrapped bag from her sleeve and opened it for Liu Shishi to see.

"Little master, don't worry, this thing is not much different from the incense candles in the Yaoguang Palace, as long as the incense candles are burned out, no one will want to find a trace of evidence!"

"In this case, I only need to put on a good show tomorrow to send her to the guillotine with my own hands!

Hmph, what about the daughter of the servant of the ministry, and what about both talent and appearance......? Even if he is the king of Hades, he will not want to stop me from ascending to the throne of the queen!"

Liu Shishi's originally suspicious face gradually showed a bright smile, as if she had seen a happy ending, she held the incense candle tightly with both hands, and the corners of her mouth were so happy that the corners of her ears were about to be grinned!

But she didn't know it - the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind.

This seems to be a plan and carefully arranged, but it is just a convenient use, and some people are laughing more happily and ruthlessly than she is on the side!

On the second day, after the morning dynasty, in the Jingyu Palace.

Li Yunxiao was reviewing the folds handed over today, and saw Shadow Luo Dark Guard Qiushi walking in from outside.

He immediately ordered the palace maids and eunuchs around him to withdraw, and confirmed that only Qiu Shi stayed on top of the main hall, and then asked, "How is the matter of the Shangguan family investigated?"

Qiu Shi took out a secret letter from his arms, lowered his head and presented it with both hands, and handed it to Li Yunxiao's hand.

"Your Majesty, this Shangguan Jingping is really good at doing things, and he has sent people to investigate around for several days. From the industrial shops he runs under his name to the various people around him, it seems that he is a very kind and honest person in the eyes of others.

Giving charity porridge, donating to temples, regularly delivering food and clothing to beggars in the city, all the good deeds he can say are the same!"

Li Yunxiao opened the secret letter and read it carefully, and listened to Qiu Shi's eloquent words, but he felt that this Shangguan Jingping was a little interesting.

It's interesting, but it's not a compliment.

No one is perfect, and the more flawless a person's reputation and background are, the more suspicious they are!

"Let all the secret guards continue to investigate, you can't let go of any clues, and you can't show flaws when you check, you can give up some clues if necessary, don't make a big mistake because of a small mistake, so as to startle yourself into a mess. ”

"Yes, the lowly will order them to go down and let them continue to investigate!"

Qiu Shi took the secret letter handed back by Li Yunxiao, skillfully took out the fire fold from his arms and lit the letterhead, and after watching it burn out on the candlestick, he turned around and withdrew from the Jingyu Palace.

Li Yunxiao sat there alone, looking at the burned ashes and falling into deep thought.

Shangguan Jingping, Shangguan Ran - what kind of people are you and what are your plans?

Sooner or later, one day, I will find out the true purpose behind you in this cloud of clouds that I can't see clearly!

What the purpose of the Shangguan family is not yet clear, but in this harem today, a well-planned show is going to be staged!

Liu Shishi rushed to Chuxiu Palace with a few personal palace maids and waiters, she couldn't wait to see that Shangguan Ran, she is the protagonist today!

Therefore, when Shangguan Xi, who was sitting in the courtyard, saw Liu Shishi walking in with a smile, the colorful ring beside her immediately leaned into her ear and whispered: "Miss, I'm afraid that this Liu Concubine is going to come again!"

It's neat, it's a big deal to see the moves, this huge palace, can she still turn the sky upside down?

I think she Shangguan Xi has been doing assassination missions since she was fourteen years old, and in the wind and rain for a few years, she has never seen any means, and what kind of people have not been killed?

Besides, with her Liu Shishi's brain, she can't think of any strange tricks, so she should relieve her boredom on this boring day!

Seeing Liu Shishi walking straight towards her, Shangguan Xi immediately raised the corners of his mouth and got up to greet her with a smile.

"The people's daughter Shangguan Ran, I have seen Concubine Liu! I don't know if Concubine Liu suddenly came to visit today, but what is the important matter?"

Seeing that she was so polite, Liu Shishi naturally had to do enough superficial work, she immediately stepped forward to help Shangguan Xi up, disgusted.

"Look at Sister Shangguan when she says this, you can see the outside, we are all people around the emperor, he works hard every day and rarely comes to this harem, speaking of which, we are also hard-working people!"

Shangguan Xi listened to the pitiful card she suddenly played, but he was curious about which one she was going to make, so he followed her words.

"What Sister Liu said is that the folk girl is not as blessed as her sister, and she can still get a reward, and now in this Chuxiu Palace, there is nowhere to say even if there is a grievance.

But since we have entered this harem, everything is based on the emperor's wishes, and those of us with humble status, we will just do it if we suffer and be tired, and it is a big deal to spend our lives in such a plain way, and there is nothing else to ask for!"

Shangguan Xi said this, which not only shows that she has no intention of having any competition with Liu Shishi, but also does not refute the status and dignity of the emperor, indicating that the emperor is the master of this harem.

This word by word did not leave any handle for Liu Shishi at all, but made her not know how to take the words for a while.
