Chapter 172: The Mysterious Old Palace Maid
Lan Yunyi was stunned by what she said, she found that she could understand every word in the old palace maid's mouth, but when the words were connected, she couldn't read what it meant.
"Mama, what is the same? What does it smell like on me? What...... A river of blood? Who and where did I get my breath back?? β
Lan Yunyi turned her head to look at her, still holding the laundry bucket stiffly in her hand, and slowly stopped, her expression a little dazed and a little anxious.
Who is this old palace maid in front of you!
Why would she say that every breath she took was snatched back?
Did she say that after she was reborn, she snatched her life from Chu Huan for an extra moment?
So to whom are you grateful?
Lan Yunyi stood motionless against the old palace maid's cloudy eyes, one of her eyeballs had a lesion and an eyelid.
In the darkness, her eyes were gloomy, and she just looked at Lan Yunyi with a smile, and there was a breath of death that spread out of her body.
Lan Yunyi only felt that her scalp was numb, and she heard her heart pounding wildly.
The old palace maid looked at Lan Yunyi's blank expression, only to know that she didn't know anything, she was a little surprised, and slowly restrained the smile on her face.
"It's good not to know...... It's good not to know......"
The old palace maid shook her head slowly, put the laundry bucket in her hand on the ground, and her expression became serious: "It's just that I want to tell you-"
Seeing that she was about to say the answer, Lan Yunyi hurriedly clenched her fists.
But the old palace maid's face changed suddenly, her body trembled suddenly, and when she opened her mouth again, black blood flowed out of her mouth.
Lan Yunyi's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Old mama? Old Mama?? What's wrong with you?? β
But the old woman's body fell to the ground like a stake.
Lan Yunyi hurriedly knelt on the ground and helped her, but saw black blood flowing from the corners of her eyes and ears.
There seemed to be a strange figure flashing beside him, followed by Zhu Qing's shout: "Master! There is something strange around, be careful! β
Her sword was taken away when she entered the palace, and she had to fight the two black-clad assassins with her bare hands.
Lan Yunyi saw that Zhu Qing stopped the assassin's movements, and hurriedly held the pulse of the old palace maid.
The old palace maid was already spasming at this moment, her pulse was weak, but Lan Yunyi was surprised to find that her sudden vomiting of blood had nothing to do with that moment, but the huge amount of poison in her body.
She hurriedly pulled out the pills in her cloth bag.
"Mama, these pills can temporarily hang your life, now my master is still in the palace, and he also has herbs in his hand, he will definitely be able to save your life!"
After Lan Yunyi finished speaking, she hurriedly picked up her head again, wanting to stuff the pill into her mouth.
But she shook her head with great difficulty, unwilling to eat the pill in Lan Yunyi's hand, looking at it without even the slightest desire to live.
Blood was still pouring from her mouth, and she didn't know what she was talking about.
Lan Yunyi hurriedly put her ear to the old palace maid's lips.
"No...... You don't have to treat me...... I've lived long enough...... It's long overdue......"
Lan Yunyi's heart trembled, but the old palace maid raised her head with great effort, and tried to put her mouth to Lan Yunyi's ear.
"Beware...... Someone is trying to harm you. β
After she said this, her body softened, and her head fell heavily on Lan Yunyi's arm.
Lan Yunyi's whole body stiffened.
She probed the old maid's snort with her fingers, but found that she was out of breath.
Lan Yunyi's eyes darkened.
She was sure that what the old palace maid was going to say to her just now was definitely not this.
Someone was trying to harm her...... Naturally, there are many people who want to harm her, but the old palace maid doesn't know her, who will she be talking about?
Lan Yunyi took a deep breath, looking at the back of Zhu Qing's fight in the distance, she hurriedly stood up.
Recited a trick in her mouth and ran in the direction of Zhu Qing, but before she could run, Zhu Qing swept her legs again, slamming the two assassins to the ground.
She gritted her back molars again, and pressed them violently, and Lan Yunyi only heard a creaking sound, like the sound of broken bones.
The two Assassins were crushed by her as if they were stacked arhats.
Good...... It's so fierce......
Lan Yunyi was amazed.
She paused, and hurriedly rushed to Zhuqing's side with her skirt.
"Master, it's been resolved." Zhu Qing's voice was cold, she pinched the assassin's arm, and with a sharp turn, the arms of the two assassins were all removed.
"Who ordered you to come?"
Lan Yunyi pursed her lips, pinched the assassin's head hanging on the ground, and jerked off the black cloth that covered his face.
The assassin gritted his teeth and stared at Lan Yunyi, but did not speak.
"Is it the Lord of Lingshu?"
Lan Yunyi asked tentatively in a calm voice, staring carefully at the expression on the assassin's face.
The assassin was still gritting his teeth, and Zhu Qing suddenly increased the force in his hand, and he snorted, his eyes were about to widen, but he didn't say a word.
"Is it the Queen? Or Lin Mansion? β
As soon as Lan Yunyi's words fell, the assassin's pupils shrank suddenly, but he forcibly calmed down again, still silent.
"Is it Concubine Zhen?" Lan Yunyi lowered her head, getting closer to him, and her voice was much quieter.
"It's Concubine Zhen! I was sent by Concubine Zhen! The Assassin shouted with scarlet eyes.
As soon as the Assassin finished speaking, a group of guards came running in the distance.
"What's going on there?" The guard at the head shouted loudly.
Lan Yunyi wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and Shi Shiran stood up: "There are two assassins who killed a grandmother in the palace. β
"Just now, there was a change in the palace annex, and the subordinates took the people and horses to search, in order to deal with this moment in time, it was a dereliction of duty by the subordinates."
The head of the guard also heard what was happening in the Empress Dowager's palace at night, and he bowed his hand respectfully to Lan Yunyi, and ordered his men to escort the two assassins.
Is there an abnormality in the palace garden? How can you look at it like this?
Lan Yunyi pursed her lips.
"Please rest assured that we will find out who is behind the incident."
As soon as the head of the guard finished speaking, the little guard in the distance shouted urgently: "Theyβthey're out of breath!" β
Zhu Qing was a little surprised when she heard this, she had obviously removed their jaws, and she didn't even have the opportunity to take poison.
But when she turned her head sharply and watched the long sword in their hands penetrate each other's bodies, she clenched her fists again.
Looking at the back of the guards who were away with the three corpses, Zhu Qingcai secretly scolded Lan Yunyi: "The guards in the palace are all a bunch of waste, I originally wanted to inform the prince and let him help you investigate this matter thoroughly, no one can leave a secret under the interrogation of the prince." β
Lan Yunyi smiled slightly, slowly pinched Zhu Qing's wrist, and comforted her.
"That's fine, I probably already know who sent these Assassins today. I still have some questions for Concubine Zhen. β
