Seeing He Suoyi's rather hurried appearance, Zijin naturally didn't dare to delay, and followed He Suoyi back to Shen Huo Palace step by step.

After arriving in Shen Huo Palace, after the two met, due to the hurry of the situation, Fang Cai Zijin only said a few words to He Suoyi. Now I have come to tell her in detail.

He Suoyi listened, first lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then raised his head again, looked at Shen Huo, and mentioned to him the matter of Zijin's safety: "Since Zijin was chased and killed by the national teacher like this, he dared to do so even in the palace, and he must have inadvertently touched some secret of the national teacher." In this case, Zijin's safety may be somewhat threatened. ”

Speaking of this, He Suoyi's face obviously showed a little worry and worry. Zijin is her personal maid, and after getting along for so many years, the two have already surpassed the affection of the master and servant. It would be great if you could find a child who is safe and sound.

Hearing He Suoyi mention this, Shen Huo's brows also furrowed, and said, "This palace has forgotten about such a stubble." Now that the national teacher must have set his sights on Zijin, I don't know what way to make him stop chasing Zijin? ”

This matter must be discussed carefully, and the expressions of the three of them suddenly became a little serious, and they sighed carefully for a long time about this matter, and finally came up with a preliminary plan. The three of them decided to put on a play in the Imperial Garden tomorrow to hide from Xu Qinghe and stabilize him.

Naturally, this play is also extremely simple. Just need Zijin to fake his death and hide it from Xu Qinghe. This is easy to say, but there are many details that need to be paid attention to in implementation. In response to the details here, several people sighed carefully.

At the same time, after the guards of the Chu State were sent away by Shen Huo, they no longer stayed elsewhere, and immediately returned to the Qingxi Palace to report. I saw that after they returned to the palace, they talked about it in detail to Chu Lingshen.

At this time, Xu Qinghe was naturally also in the Qingxi Palace, sitting with Chu Lingshen, waiting for the news of the guards of the Chu State. After listening to the news they reported, Xu Qinghe and Chu Lingshen were naturally worried, thinking that they must get rid of Zijin.

"If this palace maid rashly spreads the news, I'm afraid that our grand exhibition will also be ruined." Xu Qinghe slammed the table hard, and everything in the hammer was shocking, which showed his worry and anger.

"Forget it. At this time, it has something to do with your carelessness, and Hugh has to say anything more. Chu Lingshen only frowned when he heard what Xu Qinghe said, "For now, let's find a chance to get rid of her." Don't think about it anymore, I'm here to talk to you about something important. ”

Chu Lingshen has always been not joking, and the important things he said must be extremely important. When Xu Qinghe heard this, he no longer thought about Zijin, but only sat quietly and listened to Chu Lingshen's arrival.

The two talked about business, Chu Lingshen looked at Xu Qinghe, and said, "This time I came, not as I said with the Great Zhou Emperor, the treasures must be escorted by me personally." No matter how valuable the treasure is, it will not require me to escort it personally. ”

"What is the prince here for?" Hearing this, Xu Qinghe was a little surprised on his face, and asked himself to Chu Lingshen.

Chu Lingshen was about to speak, but Xu Qinghe asked like this, and he said it more directly: "I came this time, but my father is seriously ill. At present, the state of Chu is calm on the surface, but in fact, it is already vivid and chaotic. If I don't step up some actions, I'm afraid that the Chu State will be torn apart. ”

Hearing this, the expression on Xu Qinghe's face was surprised and uneasy, looking at Chu Lingshen, he didn't know what to say.

Xu Qinghe stayed in Da Zhou for some time, and many news from the Chu State could not be received in time. Unexpectedly, Chu Guo's current form was so grim, and Xu Qinghe's eyes were anxious, and he immediately couldn't hide the meaning.

Seeing Xu Qinghe's expression, Chu Lingshen calmed down slightly. He looked at Xu Qinghe and said, "Qinghe, I have something to say to you." You take the opportunity to secretly return to the Chu State, help me stabilize the government and the opposition, and when the Chu State stabilizes, it is not too late to come back and ambush secretly. ”

Since he said this, Xu Qinghe immediately nodded in response: "Okay." After answering, he couldn't help but show a somewhat inexplicable look, and asked Chu Lingshen: "It's just...... Shizi, the king of Chu has always been healthy, how could he suddenly be like this? ”

"The reasons for this will not be clear here for a while." Listening to Xu Qinghe's question, Chu Lingshen's expression immediately became a little gloomy, and he only said, "We'll talk about this matter in detail after you go back." ”

Regarding the fact that the king of Chu was seriously ill, Xu Qinghe was surprised, why did the king of Chu suddenly become seriously ill? But since Chu Lingshen said so, he didn't want to ask any more, so he only promised Chu Lingshen that he would design a plan within a month and secretly return to Chu State.

At this time, Chu Lingshen was in urgent need of employment, and when he heard the news that Xu Qinghe promised that he would come back, he was naturally overjoyed, and said to Xu Qinghe: "Qinghe, it's not early now." Go back first, and we'll talk about it another day. ”

Xu Qinghe nodded when he heard this, but he didn't delay any longer, and immediately left the Qingxi Palace and returned to the stargazing platform where he was.

Many plans were set on both sides, and time passed little by little, and soon another day passed in a hurry.

The next day, after the early dynasty, the emperor and Xu Qinghe accompanied Chu Lingshen to play in the imperial garden. The three of them walked hand in hand, but there was nothing you really like, only to see where the scenery was better, and then go there.

In this way, I walked leisurely all the way and saw a lot of good scenery along the way. In this way, the interest of the three of them naturally became a little higher. When I was walking to the lotus pond, things suddenly changed.

I saw that there should have been a great scenery in front of me, but I suddenly saw a woman standing on the lotus pond with her feet shaky, looking like she was about to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Seeing this scene, the emperor immediately frowned, and instructed the guards who followed him: "Why don't you hurry up and save her?" Save this woman first, and then ask her why she wants to kill herself by this river? ”

Listening to the emperor's orders, the guards naturally did not dare to delay, and rushed forward to rescue them. And the woman was originally standing with her back to a few people, so she couldn't see her face clearly, and when a few guards rescued the woman and helped her up, the woman turned her head, but several people were a little surprised.

Chu Lingshen was a newcomer, so he naturally didn't know this woman, so he didn't care; The emperor and Xu Qinghe both knew the woman in front of them - it was the personal palace maid on whom the crown princess depended, Zijin.

How could Zijin appear next to this lotus pond and show such thoughts of suicide? Before the emperor could ask the reason, Zijin first opened his mouth crying.

At this time, her face was full of tears, lined with a small face, which was quite a bit of pear blossom with rain, which was strange and distressing.

I only heard Zijin crying and said: "Your Majesty, you can save the slave maid, and the slave and maid are grateful for your kindness in their hearts." But don't stop the slave and the maid, let the slave and the maid die! ”

After that, before a few people could react, they heard Zijin continue: "The news just came from outside the palace last night that my mother died of illness. As soon as the slave maid learned that her mother had died of illness, she immediately felt that there was no hope in her heart. The only relative in the world is gone, and he is helpless in the palace, and he suffers so much, it is better to be happy when he dies! ”

As she continued to say this, the more she spoke, the more excited she became, and at the end she almost showed a roar. After Zijin said that, he wanted to jump down, but it took a lot of effort for a few guards to stop.

Seeing Zijin so excited and sad, Xu Qinghe's eyes crossed a few traces of suspicion. It's not that he's ruthless, it's actually a bit too coincidental. Yesterday, Zijin Kankan discovered her traces, and today came the news of her mother's death, so many coincidences add up, there must be something strange in it.

Thinking of this, the more Xu Qinghe thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, and looking at Zijin, he naturally kept vigilant. And Zijin's big drama today was not for the emperor and the two to see, just for Xu Qinghe alone, and he has been observing Xu Qinghe tightly and secretly.

Xu Qinghe showed a look of suspicion and vigilance, and when Zijin saw this, he knew that it was not appropriate to delay any longer, and quickly pulled out the guard's sword.

This change came so suddenly that everyone didn't react for a while. The guard naturally didn't notice it, even if he was vigilant on weekdays, he wouldn't defend a woman he had just rescued.

In this way, this matching sword was easily pulled out by Zijin. And Zijin was holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, but he suddenly thought of what Shen Huo said yesterday.

That was yesterday when it was discussed. I only heard Shen Huo say: "This palace can be regarded as a little bit of fur medicine. Three inches below the ribs is not fatal, but the effect of stabbing it is no different from piercing the heart. Zijin, you will act on such a play tomorrow with some heart, so as to dispel the concerns of the national teacher and save your life. ”

Shen Huo's words still echoed in his ears. Zijin believed that he would not lie to himself, and immediately stopped hesitating, silently estimating the position of three inches under his ribs in his heart.

There was still a sad look on his face, and he only said: "Mother, my daughter failed to fulfill her filial piety when you were alive, and it was her daughter's fault." You wait for some work on Huangquan Road, and your daughter will come down to accompany you! After that, the sword had already pierced straight into Zijin's body, exactly three inches below his ribs.

Rao is a fake, and this stabbing into the body at first glance is naturally not something to joke about. Zijin only felt a sharp pain coming from the place where the sword stabbed, and when he couldn't support it, he slowly fell to the ground. At this time, the wound she stabbed was also bleeding, and it looked quite horrible to see.

It happened too suddenly, and before the guards could stop him, Zijin had already fallen to the ground.
