Stargazing Tower.

Zhu Jiu's eyes were always on the female assassin - the leader was so slender in shape, and the light skills and swordsmanship he used were also extremely light, there was no doubt that she was indeed a woman.

Suddenly, Zhu Jiu's eyes were stained with a hint of interest: I don't know, Xuanyuan Che is so beautiful and accustomed to disguise, there are even women who want to kill him?

I don't know if this female assassin is for love or revenge.

It just so happens that this place is some distance away from the Purple Pole Palace, Zhu Jiu doesn't plan to go down to participate in the battle, she is a "lame" to stay here to watch the battle, but it is the most suitable.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the stairwell.

"Presumptuous! Assassins are rampant outside, my mother is a princess from Yan Kingdom, why can't she take refuge in the stargazing tower? ”

Zhu Jiu turned his head to look and saw that the palace maid talking in the stairwell was Xiuzhu who was waiting beside Leng Qingxiu.

Xiuzhu's hair was messy, Zhucui was loose, and Leng Qingxiu, who was supported by her to avoid all the way, was no better, and her face was also haggard, obviously frightened by today's assassination.

But the guard insisted on not letting the two of them in, and replied coldly: "Your Majesty has an order, no one can go up to the stargazing tower today, whether you are a cold concubine or a princess, this stargazing tower is not a place for you to come, please go back!" ”

As the only concubine in Xuanyuan Che's harem, Leng Qingxiu has never suffered any humiliation in the harem in the past few days, but today she was stopped at the door by this guard, and she couldn't even enter the stargazing tower.

A gloom flashed from her eyes, and she caught a glimpse of the servant girl standing by the window behind the guard, her eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly grabbed Xiuzhu: "Let's go back to Xiuzhu, whether it's life or death, I just resign myself to fate......"

"!"

Xiuzhu didn't understand why the master who had just proposed to take refuge in the Stargazing Tower suddenly wanted to go back to Qinglong Square?

She was a concubine, so she could only stand in the square to participate in this enthronement ceremony, otherwise she would not have fled in a panic when the assassin suddenly appeared.

But Leng Qingxiu wanted to leave, and Xiuzhu couldn't, so she could only help her turn around.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind: "Wait, these two are not outsiders, let them in." ”

Xiuzhu was taken aback, turned her head to look, and saw that it was Zhu Jiu, and her eyes were immediately vigilant: It's Tuoba Ye again! Would she be so kind to let her master go in and take refuge?

But he soon became jealous again, looked at the guard and said sarcastically: "You just said that there is a noble person in the Stargazing Tower, and this noble person is referring to Miss Tuoba's second lady?" ”

For the sake of Tuoba Ye's face valued by Xuanyuan Che, she called Zhu Jiu "Miss Tuoba Er", but the dissatisfaction in her words still made Zhu Jiu hear it.

Let the two of them in, first, she originally planned to keep Leng Qingxiu, and second, she wanted to test what Leng Qingxiu meant by the gold sore medicine that Zhu Mo sent yesterday?

How much does she know about the poisonous things in gold sore medicine?

Although the heart of harming others is indispensable, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.

The guard didn't pay attention to what Xiuzhu and a palace maid said, only looked at Zhu Jiu, and frowned: "Your Majesty said that you are only allowed to be in the stargazing tower alone." ”

These guards were all cultivated by Xuanyuan Che himself, and their martial arts were extremely high, otherwise it would be impossible for those assassins to fight for half a day without succeeding in breaking in.

If it weren't for His Majesty's order to keep an eye on Tuobano, they wouldn't have bothered to protect such a waste.

"Concubine Leng is not an outsider, if Your Majesty is accountable, I will bear it."

Zhu Jiu's eyes turned and looked at him: "It's you, if you let Concubine Leng die without His Majesty's knowledge, can you bear this responsibility?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the guard's face changed slightly, and he didn't hesitate any longer, and hurriedly ordered someone to let the two in.

was able to enter the stargazing tower to avoid trouble, and Leng Qingxiu thanked Zhu Jiu gratefully: "Thank you Miss Tuoba, if you hadn't rescued me this time, I'm afraid our master and servant would have died outside." ”

I saw her glance at Qinglong Square, and the square that was still solemn was already full of corpses at the moment.

Those royal guards and assassins fought in the dark, even the earth trembled, who could care about the innocent palace maids and eunuchs who fled for their lives?

Leng Qingxiu then wept gloomily: "Since entering the palace, the Changting Hall has been like a cold palace, Your Majesty has not stepped into the Changting Palace all day, I know that it is impossible for my identity to conceive a dragon seed for Your Majesty and promote peace between the two countries, but I don't want to die in vain like this, and live up to the high hopes of Emperor Yan and the people of Yan Kingdom......"

In addition to her words, she shows that she is a weak woman but cares about the world's deep righteousness.

It makes people feel pity that such a burden has to fall on her alone.

If Zhu Jiu in the past would have believed her words, but today, she just calmly agreed: "The world is bustling, all for profit, if you can make Your Majesty benefit, he will definitely spoil you, but blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, if you want to be favored, Leng Concubine Niangniang also needs to have the ability to save her life." ”

Leng Qingxiu's heart jumped, and she couldn't help but look up at her, and there was a trace of panic in her innocent eyes: "What do you mean by Miss Tuoba?" ”

Zhu Jiu shook his head indifferently: "It's just a sudden sigh, and there is no other meaning." ”

It seems that Leng Qingxiu didn't know that she was disturbing her cave candles, but she was actually saving her.

Among the two princesses today, Xuanyuan Che asked her to kill Lin Yao, but the other princess Shangguan did not show up for a long time, and the envoys of the Xia Kingdom also had ugly faces, afraid that before Xuanyuan Che ordered her to do it, Shangguan Yunxue had already encountered an accident.

Thinking about it carefully, when Yan Guo sent Leng Qingxiu to make peace, Leng Qingxiu can still survive so far, which is not a kind of luck.

And her indifference made Leng Qingxiu inexplicably see a trace of Zhu Jiu's shadow, and she couldn't help but have doubts about the "Tuoba Ye" in front of her.

Is there really such a thing as two people in the world?

It is now rumored everywhere in the palace that the reason why Tuoba Ye was suddenly favored was because she looked a little like Zhu Jiu.

A touch of jealousy gradually made Leng Qingxiu clench her fingertips, and on her face, she smiled and mentioned the preferences of Xuanyuan Che that Zhu Mo brought back before, and thanked Zhu Jiu: "Speaking of which, since I entered the palace, if it weren't for Miss Tuoba to take care of me, I'm afraid that I would have died a long time ago, and in addition, I would like to thank you for the things that Xiao Mozi sent, so that this palace will no longer be bullied by those snobs in the harem." ”

Zhu Jiu lowered his eyes, casually poured a cup of tea and sipped lightly: "No need to say thank you, didn't Concubine Leng let Xiao Mozi send me the best gold sore medicine in Yan Country yesterday?" Let's just make a love for each other. ”

When it came to the gold sore medicine, Leng Qingxiu's expression was slightly condensed, and when she continued to listen, she saw Zhu Jiu looking at her inadvertently, and gently hooked her lips: "I used the gold sore medicine very well, and I couldn't help but dare to ask for another copy from Concubine Leng Niangniang." ”

The addition of the stinging grass that can corrode the flesh and blood to the gold sore medicine will aggravate the injury over time, and the person will die.

Tuoba Ye didn't even discover this poison, and her suspicion of being Zhu Jiu retreated most of her from Leng Qingxiu's heart.

After all, if it was Zhu Jiu, he would definitely notice the bone-piercing grass as soon as he used the gold sore medicine!
