The inner courtyard of the palace at night is comparable to a magnificent city.

Shen Pu and Qinglian, led by a eunuch on duty, walked towards the palace gate.

Just now, the emperor was very satisfied that Shen Pu had caught Yang Yi so quickly, although this guy was dead and couldn't figure out the root cause of his murder of the concubine, but this was already exciting enough.

"My cousin will accept the personal commendation of Banzai tomorrow in the morning, and his face can be regarded as revealing to the sky." Qinglian said in a low voice as she walked, "Is this reward still a slave?" ”

"How can Xiao Sheng have that ability, it's not all thanks to the assistance of Tang Zhuangshi and Zhan Guard." Shen Pu hurriedly said.

Seeing that it was not far from the palace gate, and that the two blood-red lanterns could already be seen swaying in the night wind, Qinglian stopped.

"This father-in-law, don't work far away, just have a slave and maid to accompany Lord Shen back to the house."

Most of the eunuchs on duty know Qinglian, and the big girl next to this royal concubine is very sharp-tongued.

"In this case, there is Miss Lao Qinglian, and the old slave will go back to the decree." The eunuch said.

Qinglian nodded.

The eunuch left.

Shen Pu watched the figure of the eunuch and did not move for a long time.

Qinglian pushed Shen Pu's back from behind.

"My cousin can't see my concubine here, if I really can't leave, the slave will give up this little life, and then take my cousin back to find my mother."

Shen Pu was taken aback.

The girl laughed, and Xiaosheng just remembered something by chance.

"The slave maid only said that the cousin looked preoccupied all day long, didn't my mother enlighten you?" Qinglian said.

Shen Pu waved his hand again and again.

"This matter has nothing to do with my cousin, I just accidentally remembered the palace maid named Jin'er, but I wonder if Miss Qinglian has ever recognized this person?"

"I've seen it once or twice, but I've long forgotten it, there are thousands of palace maids in this palace, and the slaves and maids really can't remember what she looks like."

Shen Pu was still thinking about it, he had never seen this Jin'er, but he guessed that his appearance would not surpass his cousin, and he didn't know what kind of extraordinary means this woman would have, asking the emperor to be obsessed with her to such an extent.

"Why did my cousin suddenly become interested in this matter?" Qinglian naturally didn't know what was wrong, but she was curious and asked.

"This woman is very unusual, according to the speculation of Lord Bao and Tang Zhuangshi, she is afraid that she is in the same group as Yang Yi." Thinking that Qinglian was not an outsider and was extremely smart, Shen Pu did not hide it.

However, this stunned Qinglian.

"So, this palace maid named Jin'er is the real murderer of the concubine?" Qinglian's voice was so loud that Shen Pu hurriedly covered her little mouth in a panic. 33

"Don't raise your voice, for fear that the wall will have ears."

Qinglian also knew that she was out of shape, and looked around a little nervously.

"Cousin, go out with me quickly, and Hugh will mention this matter again." Qinglian said, planning to leave quickly.

However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped up from the ground not far from the two.

It turned out that this person had been lying on the ground in front of the two.

Probably because there is no peace here, this person really has nowhere to hide.

Qinglian's words alerted her.

In this way, she must not pass on the words to anyone else, and she decided to kill them.

This is the place where the inner courtyard of the palace meets the palace gate, although there will be patrolling forbidden troops passing by occasionally, but the time interval is very long, and it is impossible for people in the inner palace to come here at this time.

This person's movements are swift, and his shots are like lightning.

Before Qinglian and Shen Pu could see the faces of the person who came, an extremely sharp short sword had already pierced Qinglian's chest.

Qinglian screamed, grabbed the blade in front of her with both hands, the blade cut her fingers, and the blood on her hand fell to the ground along with the blood gushing out of her chest.

"My cousin save me!" Before Qinglian's scream fell, the person had already raised his foot and kicked Qinglian's lower abdomen.

Qinglian fell backwards, and the man took advantage of the situation to draw his short sword.

"Qinglian girl!" Shen Pu only reacted at this time, and pounced on Qinglian to try to hug Qinglian, but was kicked in the chest by the man again.

That person's strength was great, and Shen Pu spurted out of his mouth with a mouthful of blood and fell to Qinglian's side.

Shen Pu's body was originally very weak, and after being stabbed for Lord Bao last time, he had not fully recovered, and before fainting, Shen Pu saw this person's very smooth little face clearly.

Shen Pu's hand was raised, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it.

"I didn't expect it, Xiao Ni didn't die?" The man said, patting Shen Pu in the face with his short sword.

The sound alarmed several forbidden soldiers guarding the palace gate.

"Who's making a fuss here?" A Praetorian warrior shouted.

Footsteps approached here.

Kong Shuang was worried that the forbidden army would see his appearance, so he stabbed a sword at Shen Pu in a little panic, and then quickly left.

The short sword pierced Shen Pu's ribs, but fortunately it did not hurt the vital point.

"This person is Lord Shen of the Criminal Department."

"This Qinglian girl is the person next to the imperial concubine."

"There are assassins, send someone to protect Banzai."

There was a noise among the samurai.

By the time Fei Caihe got the news of Qinglian's death and Shen Pu's injury, it was already the morning of the next day.

Lu Xu, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, sent almost all the people he could, and after a whole night of searching, he found no trace of the assassin.

For this reason, the emperor almost cut off Lu Xu's head.

The forbidden troops had no choice but to withdraw, and the emperor also went to the Zichen Palace.

At this time, in Jin'er's palace that has not yet been named, Kongshuang is looking leisurely.

Jin'er found a palace maid's dress for her.

In the dormitory, Jin'er stood on the edge of the bed, while Kongshuang was sitting on the bed.

"Sister Jin'er, the master has always been at ease with you, and now, Lord Yang Yi is no longer there, everything can only rely on you, if there is something, you need to think more before making a decision." Kushuang said.

"My sister knows, but my sister has never had such an experience, and I am afraid that I will be entrusted by the master, if Sister Kongshuang can stay in the palace, there will be a discussion about everything." Jin'er said.

"I'm afraid this won't work." Kongshuang took off the colorful hat embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks on the top of his head, and touched the top of his bald head.

"This sister doesn't need to worry, my sister has her own way." Jin'er guessed Kongshuang's worries, and as she spoke, she was about to turn around and go out, but was stopped by Kongshuang.

"Forget it, my sister stays outside, and you can enter the palace at any time, you forbidden army warriors are not worth a group of bandits in my sister's eyes."

Jin'er thought for a moment.

"That's fine, if my sister has something, you can ask Sister Shuqi to look for you outside."

"Who is Shuqi?" Empty frost was startled.

"Sister, don't worry, she is the person I trust the most in the palace, leave everything to her, and nothing will happen." Jin'er said.

"You also need to be careful, my sister is too young, don't be deceived by others." Empty Frost admonished.

Some people died, but not completely......
