Chapter 33: The Tragedy of the Cook's Family

Within the imperial city, the general's mansion in the north of the town.

The moon hanging in the night sky is extremely bright against the backdrop of the night.

The moonlight shines on the buildings and the streets, which is not very clear, but it also sweeps away a lot of darkness.

There are several people sitting in the main hall of the General's Mansion, Zhao Yue, the general of Zhenbei, Lu Luoxi, the eldest princess, Lu Jingqian, the seventh prince, and even the martial master who has seen the head and tail of the dragon is also among them.

There was also a young man, with a delicate face, but with bandages around his legs.

"Liu Sheng, how did you escape?"

This young man is the son of the cook in the small kitchen, the man with unkempt hair and inconvenient legs and feet in the dilapidated mansion before, Liu Sheng.

It is also an important witness in Concubine Qin's case.

"Back to the eldest princess, because of a reminder from a fortune teller......"

After listening to Liu Sheng's narration, combined with the letter brought by Liu Sheng, everyone knew what happened.

Before Concubine Qin's accident, she was in the palace.

Liu Gui, the cook in Concubine Qin's small kitchen, was about to leave the palace and go home.

Walking to the corner of the palace road, he was suddenly knocked unconscious.

When Liu Gui opened his eyes, he was already in Concubine Qi's palace.

"It's a hundred taels of gold, and then it will be delivered to your home."

Concubine Qi pointed to the gold on the table and promised Liu Gui.

Liu Gui understood that this hundred taels of gold was not so easy to take, so he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Xiaomin doesn't dare, Xiaomin can only cook a meal, and he can't earn this money."

"Your wife and daughter will be picked up elsewhere tomorrow, and your son is still studying in Los Angeles, and someone has already been sent to pick him up."

Liu Gui heard the threat in Concubine Qi's words, his body was already trembling, and his voice trembled a little.

"What does Niangniang want Xiaomin to do?"

"It's not a big deal, when you enter the palace again, someone will give you a bag of fruit, and you can just put it on Concubine Qi's table."

Concubine Qi's tone was flat, as if she was talking about an inconspicuous trivial matter.

"Concubine Qin Niangniang is a good person, she is usually very good to us subordinates, is Niangniang ......"

"Shut up, I still want to see your family, don't mention that slut."

Concubine Qi interrupted Liu Gui's words, and when she heard Liu Gui speak for Concubine Qin, she was extremely angry.

"I want to see my family."

Liu Gui's face was pale, his heart was like ashes, his eyes were empty, and his voice did not have a trace of emotional fluctuations.

"Don't worry, my family will be properly placed outside the city, and after the matter is completed, you will leave immediately, and this palace will protect you from death and let you reunite with your family."

Concubine Qi saw Liu Gui's abnormality, so she spoke to appease him.

After seeing his family, Liu Gui returned home and did not take a second look at the one hundred taels of gold on the table.

Liu Gui sighed, walked to the bed like a walking corpse, and collapsed on the bed.

Before Concubine Qin's accident, Los Angeles.

Liu Sheng, who was studying abroad, was strolling on the street this day.

"Childe stays."

Liu Sheng heard someone shouting to himself, and when he looked back, he saw that it was a fortune teller.

"I see that Gongzi Yintang is black, and there will be a bloody disaster in the near future."

Hearing that the person in front of him came up and said that he had a bloody disaster, Liu Gui frowned slightly, and he shook his hand and was about to leave.

"If Childe can't believe in the poor way, you can give it a try first."

The fortune teller chased after him for two steps and stopped Liu Sheng.

"What's the test?"

Liu Sheng was a little impatient.

"Please stretch out your hand and look at the palmistry."

Liu Sheng stretched out his right hand, and the fortune teller quickly shook his head after reading it.

"In the son's family, there are people who do things for the palace."

Liu Sheng was a little surprised when he heard this.

Seeing Liu Sheng's surprised expression, the fortune teller said with a smile:

"This disaster will come from here, and soon someone will come to pick up Childe to meet his family, and Childe must not go. If the son can escape this catastrophe, he may be able to become a supreme minister in the future. ”

"You mean my family will be in danger too?"

Liu Sheng didn't care about his future, but was more worried about his family.

Hearing Liu Sheng's question, the fortune teller did not answer.

"What if I go?"

Liu Sheng was concerned about the safety of his family, so he hurriedly asked.

"You can live in a career, but you can't live in the forest."

After the fortune teller finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away.

When Concubine Qin had an accident, she was in the small back kitchen.

Liu Gui stood on top of a chair, holding a rope suspended from the beam in both hands, muttering to himself.

"Concubine Qin, the slave is ashamed of you. Sheng'er, I hope my death will allow you to live well. ”

When Concubine Qin had an accident, she was in the south of the imperial city.

Because Liu Sheng was concerned about the safety of his family, he did not follow the advice of the fortune teller, and when someone came to pick him up, he followed them back to the imperial city.

At this time, Liu Shengzheng was sitting in a carriage with his mother and sister, and under the escort of several Qi family members, he left the imperial city and headed south.

Along the way, because of the fortune teller's words, Liu Sheng has been restless.

Liu Sheng was afraid that something would happen, so he told his mother and sister: "If there is anything abnormal in the meeting, please follow my mother and sister closely." ”

Although Liu Sheng's mother and sister were a little puzzled, they still nodded to Liu Sheng when they remembered the recent anomaly

Through the window of the carriage, Liu Sheng saw that there was a cliff next to it, and he could hear the turbulent sound of the water flowing under the cliff.

Seeing this scene, I can't help but think of the fortune teller's parting words.

"You can live in a career, but you can't live in the forest."

Liu Sheng hurriedly shouted to stop the carriage.

Before the carriage stopped, Liu Sheng hurriedly got out of the carriage, and there was a dense mountain forest in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Liu Sheng figured out the meaning of the gift, and was shocked, and hurriedly called his mother and sister to get out of the car.

"Time is tight, please Liu Gongzi get in the car, we can get to a safe place early."

The Qi family guard next to him got off his horse and walked to Liu Sheng, urging Liu Sheng between words.

Liu Sheng's mother and sister heard the call, got out of the carriage, and were about to get off.

Suddenly, the leader of the Qi family's guards came on horseback, slashed at Liu Sheng's mother's body, and slashed at Liu Sheng's sister with a backhand.

Liu Sheng's eyes were cracked.

"Now that I've found out, it's the same to see you off here."

The head of the Qi family's guards was full of contempt in his words, and in his opinion, Liu Sheng was already a lamb to the slaughter.

Liu Sheng saw the Qi family guard next to him draw his sword and walk towards him, gritted his teeth, reflexively rushed towards the cliff, and jumped down to the edge of the cliff.

The Qi family guard next to him obviously didn't expect things to develop like this, and turned his head to look at the leader of the guards.

"From here, you can't live, you dispose of the corpse."

After the leader had finished speaking, he rode away first.

After learning what happened, everyone was silent for a while.

"It's a blessing that you don't die, but how did you get back to the Imperial City?"

Lu Luoxi asked the doubts in his heart.

Hearing Lu Luoxi's question, Zhao Yue's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he thought to himself, Xi'er has really changed a lot, it would be good if it was a man.

"I woke up in the Imperial City."

"What?"

Liu Sheng's words surprised everyone present, and Master Wu also showed a look of surprise on his face.
