Chapter 225: Shen Xiuzhi's Death
Her movements were too slow in Zhu Jiu's eyes, and this person had already been confused, and she was full of flaws at this moment.
Zhu Jiu flashed easily, then avoided the hidden weapon, and held the hidden weapon coming at her neck, shook his hand and shot back, the sharp blade grazed He Hongying's neck, leaving a deep blood mark, only a moment to pierce her veins, making her fall to the ground and die.
This made the sunlight shining on He Hongying's body a little colder, and a chill suddenly arose from the bottom of her heart.
Zhu Jiu withdrew his hand and looked at her indifferently: "I kept you because Ah Che didn't want you to die, but if you dare to offend me next time, don't blame me for being merciless!"
After leaving the martial arts training ground, she wrote a letter and asked the black cat to send it to the cinnabar building, asking Gongwen Gongwu to investigate this He Hongying.
He Hongying is usually a calm person, but today she suddenly rushed to the martial arts training ground to kill her, if there are no variables in this, Zhu Jiu will definitely not believe it.
And in the recent period, the only major event that happened in the palace was tomorrow's post-sealing ceremony.
As soon as Zhu Jiu left, a woman wearing a mask appeared next to He Hongying, she glanced at the direction Zhu Jiu left, and then stared at He Hongying with a sneer: "Don't measure yourself, this is what happens to you killing your master, elephant slave."
He Hongying was shocked, and looked up at her unwillingly; "I didn't choose wrong, at least I'm still alive now, if I continue to be his pawn, I'm afraid I would have been buried with Xuanyuan Che a long time ago."
"Huh." The woman in scarlet clothes laughed lowly, as if looking at the elephant slave, like watching a joke, "It's a pity that you calculated so many people in order to stay by Xuanyuan Che's side, but you didn't count Zhu Jiu."
"Enough! Crane slave, what the hell are you doing here? I have left the Black Soul Temple, and I will not do anything for you again."
He Hongying interrupted her impatiently, got up from the ground, calmed her breath before returning to her usual calm state, and a gentle smile appeared between her eyebrows, like a mask she was wearing.
The crane slave and she are both pawns of the black-clothed messenger, and they are also the secret guards who have been cultivated since childhood, but He Hongying deals with things on the surface, and many tasks are also done by her, and the crane slave is like the shadow of the black-clothed messenger, like a shadow, after the black-clothed messenger died, the troops in his hands were given full authority to the crane slave.
Originally, the crane slave was a substitute he prepared for himself.
The crane slave stared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense, those who have entered the Black Soul Hall will never want to quit for the rest of their lives, but I promise, as long as you help me kill Zhu Jiu, I will give you freedom."
He Hongying sneered and turned to leave: "You are too naïve, Zhu Jiu has no flaws, and her martial arts are not even below me."
"Who says she doesn't have flaws?" The crane slave's figure flashed, and immediately appeared in front of her, stopping He Hongying, who was about to leave, and said, "Xuanyuan Che is her weakness, don't you like him?" Are you willing to be a slave for the rest of your life, you don't want to fight for his queenship?"
These words lingered in her ears like ghost words, He Hongying has been a slave and a chess piece for a lifetime, if she can turn over and become a normal person one day, how can she not want to?
Can...... He Hongying pursed her lips and stared at her tightly, "You want to do something to Xuanyuan Che?"
"Heh, he's of no use to me, you just need to hold his heart, besides, ......" Speaking of this, the sneer in the crane slave's eyes became more and more obvious: "Didn't the master betray him because he wanted to do something to Xuanyuan Che?"
No matter how ugly He Hongying's face was after she was hit by her, the crane slave just leaned over and whispered a few words to her, and disappeared from the martial arts training ground without a trace after saying the plan.
He Hongying frowned slightly after she left, "Tomorrow's post-sealing ceremony, she actually wants me to replace her?"
But Xuanyuan Che has obviously given her and Li Chunyue to marry, if she kills Shen Xiuzhi, I am afraid that Xuanyuan Che will really find out about her, and she will never recover.
But since she said that Xuanyuan Che would have someone around her to help her, then she would take a gamble and give it a try!
After shaking the saber in her hand, He Hongying glanced coldly at the direction in which Zhu Jiu had left and returned to her residence in the palace.
Early the next morning, March 15, the palace held a ceremony after the closure.
Shen Xiuzhi was canonized by the Ministry of Rites, and hundreds of civil and military officials were divided in Qinglongtai
Stand on both sides, and a red carpet is spread in the middle, just waiting for the queen to walk on stage from here and accept the canonization of the Ministry of Rites.
The atmosphere at the scene was very solemn, but the good day was about to pass, and Shen Xiuzhi was not present, for a while, Prime Minister Shen was secretly anxious, his daughter never dropped the chain on this kind of thing, why was it suddenly late today?
Shen Xiuzhi's disappearance was a big deal, and Xuanyuan Che, who was dressed in black court clothes, also noticed that the situation was different, so he immediately asked people to investigate.
When Luo Zheng was about to retreat, He Hongying, who was dressed as a guard, carried a corpse onto the Qinglong Terrace, put the corpse in front of the civil and military officials, and saluted Xuanyuan Che drenched: "Your Majesty, when my subordinates were patrolling the Imperial Garden, they met a woman drowning and rescued her, but I didn't expect that the person who drowned turned out to be Miss Shen!" When his subordinates rescued him, it was too late, and according to his subordinates' estimates, Miss Shen probably fell into the water and died last night......
"Daughter!"
Prime Minister Shen almost lost his temper, he didn't expect that today was a good day for his daughter to get married, but she died in front of him!
The ceremony seemed to have become a joke, and even the musicians stopped, and there was only deathly silence in the air, except for his wail.
Shen Xiuzhi has been spoiled by Shen Cheng since she was a child, when she entered the palace, Prime Minister Shen Cheng also arranged for her to be a personal palace maid Linglong, Linglong can also do martial arts, how could she let Shen Xiuzhi have an accident?
After Shen Chengxiang cried, he confessed to Xuanyuan Che about his gaffe, and then choked up, holding back his sadness and said, "Please summon the palace maid Linglong beside my daughter, and the minister must find out in person how my daughter died and why she drowned!"
The surrounding ministers were also frightened by this scene for a long time, and no one expected that the woman who was about to ascend the throne would end up like this, and the eyes that looked at Xuanyuan Che changed for a while.
I have long heard that His Majesty is a lone star, and everyone who is close to him will not end well, and now even his wife who has not passed through the door is dead, so how dare these ministers approach him? .
There are people who have a good relationship with Prime Minister Shen Cheng, and there are also people who are aware that this matter is not simple, and they all came out of the official position and said to Xuanyuan Che: "Please Your Majesty be clear!"
Xuanyuan Che came down from the Qinglong Platform, stared at Shen Xiuzhi's corpse for a moment with lowered eyes, and then said, "It is rumored that Shen Xiuzhi's personal maid is exquisite, and this matter will be personally supervised by Prime Minister Shen Cheng."
"Yes."
Wei Ruhai responded and immediately asked people to find Linglong.
Prime Minister Shen also knelt on the ground, wrote the emperor's grace, clenched his fists tightly, whoever killed his daughter, he would personally find out the truth and let the other party go to Huangquan Road to see off his daughter!
The good abnormal sealing ceremony was unhappily dispersed, and the rest of the show girls who were waiting to be canonized were canonized according to the holy decree and moved into the palace.
