C6 Assassination
"Miss, what does the Empress mean by this?"
Bai Zhi couldn't quite understand the conversation between Spring Orchid and Young Miss, and always felt that something was amiss.
Feng Yue's gaze was empty. She now knew why someone had brought these items here so early in the morning. It was likely that they knew that someone would come to see her! Then, Xiao Yue spoke up, "Did Consort Ye send people over often in the past?"
She was thinking that Ye Concubine Ye definitely wouldn't come for no reason. As for what she was planning to do, it was quite strange.
"In the past, Concubine Ye would send someone to visit Miss once in awhile. Furthermore, Madam would always have someone bring some clothes for Miss to dress up with. Miss would be very happy every time." Xiao Yue coldly laughed in her heart.
As she spoke, Bai Zhi smiled, but that smile didn't last long before it dimmed again.
Naturally, the astute Yingyue could immediately sense it, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly depressed? "
Bai Zhi sighed. "It's a pity that we can't keep these things. Madam will definitely send someone else to take them away."
Shuyue paused, her lips curving into a smile. Take it away? It used to be possible, but now it all depended on whether she had the ability or not. In that case, they had already taken more than just half of it. However, rest assured, she would take them back one by one.
"Let's just wait and see a good show! First, you should secretly trade a few small items for some of the best healing medicine. Remember to bring more so that no one will see. "
Right now, she just so happened to be in need of money. To have such an opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity if she didn't use it?
Bai Zhi complied with the instructions and took a few accessories out. Right now, everyone was busy and probably wouldn't pay any attention to her, so she was relieved to let her go.
The wounds on her body had not healed yet. If her calculations were correct, it was likely that the crown prince would die after his marriage. In the next few days, she would have to do everything she could to protect herself, preserve her life, and seek revenge.
From the jewelry placed on the table, a stream of light illuminated that pair of enigmatic eyes. Yingyue slightly narrowed her eyes as the corners of her mouth curled upwards …
"All of you can leave now! "Spring Orchid, help me enter the palace and rest."
The well-dressed woman was dressed in orange, wide-sleeved, swallow-tailed palace clothing. Her bright face was painted with exquisite makeup, and the corners of her eyes were beautiful, yet noble.
"How is it?"
"In reply to the Empress, as Miss has said, it seems that the estate has always been harsh on them. Moreover, this time, there are many suspicious points regarding the matter of them falling into the water."
That's right, this person was none other than Ye Feifei, Feng Yue's aunt in the palace. Currently, she was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, her flower-like face reflected in it. Smile, unspeakably alluring
Hearing that, Ye Feifei put down the headdress in her hands, "Oh? Why didn't I hear her talk about it before? "
"Perhaps the young miss was worried about something earlier! This humble servant greets Miss this time and feels that Miss seems to have changed in some way. As for where, this servant is also unable to say. "
Spring Orchid said softly as she carefully removed the makeup on her face.
The person in the bronze mirror narrowed his eyes. "Then what about the matter of falling into the water?"
"Eldest Miss said that she didn't know how she fell down like that, but in the end, she added that it was probably due to overwork. This servant looked at Miss at that time, Miss's words were definitely not caused by overwork."
She put down the last headdress and scattered Ye Feifei's hair. Her black hair fell down like a waterfall, suffusing the bright yellow light with a black luster.
"Chun Lan, send someone to sneak into the Prime Minister's estate to protect Yue Er. Remember, you must not let anything happen to her. Otherwise, you'll be the only one asking questions."
As if she was talking to the person in the bronze mirror, Ye Concubine stared at him for a long time without being able to recover from her shock.
"Yes, this servant obeys."
The sound of the insects was fresh, and in the silence of the night, there was a chill that was hard to detect.
On the bed, Yueyue, who was asleep, suddenly opened her eyes …
A puff of smoke drifted around them. A moment later, the door and windows that had been closed opened silently and a few shadows jumped out.
A silver light flashed as the sharp blade in his hand closed in.
Just as she was about to make her move at the best opportunity, she didn't expect a gentle gust of wind to blow past her, followed by the familiar sound of flesh being cut.
In the darkness, the two groups had already clashed. It was clear that the later cultivators had the advantage of being caught off guard. Soon, everything was settled and the method was efficient. Not even a drop of blood fell from the sky.
The corpse was quietly taken away and the room returned to its original state. A figure came to the bedside and took out a small porcelain bottle. He touched the tip of her nose, paused for a moment, and then disappeared into the darkness.
From the beginning till the end, she knew that the first party would definitely belong to the crown prince. She didn't expect that he would be so anxious. It was only the second night of their marriage, and he already wanted her life.
However, she didn't know who the other party was and what purpose they had in helping her.
This dynasty was truly chaotic. It was as if she was about to be drawn into a dispute and was actually somewhat restless. It seemed that she could no longer sit still and wait for death!
On the morning of the second day, the cold courtyard welcomed the mistress of the Prime Minister's Estate. Everyone knew just what was going to happen here. As if they were used to seeing it, they had long since lost their curiosity and quietly listened.
When she arrived early in the morning, she thought she could clean up the mess. She even made preparations, but when she entered the room, she saw a figure leisurely sipping tea. She was confused by the situation. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be here right now.
Was the news wrong?
"Impudent! Why aren't you bowing when you see Madam?"
An old woman called out as soon as she entered the room. Her appearance was absolutely on par with that or something.
Xiao Yue ignored her, "Xiao Yue greets Madam." It was just a slight bow, and they didn't even look at the lady in front of them. In her eyes, they were just a bunch of clowns.
Madame Xie gracefully sat down on a chair brought by the maidservants and took another cup of tea. "Did Esteemed Empress Ye send someone to deliver some things yesterday?"
Madam Xie spoke slowly. Her demeanor was very noble, but Yingyue was on her guard. These kinds of people were often the hardest to deal with.
It was no wonder that she was here. The reason why the Prime Minister could enjoy so much glory and wealth was most likely due to this woman!
"Aunt is very kind. I did send some."
The old granny glanced at him with disdain. In her eyes, those things belonged to her wife. How could she have such lowly legs? Moreover, the madame would definitely give it to him in passing. When he thought of those jewel-like items, his heart began to itch even more.
"You don't need anything here, I'll keep it for you! When it's time to use it, I will naturally send someone to deliver it. "
Madam Xie left as soon as she said those words. Her original purpose was to collect her corpse and pretend to be someone else. However, she didn't expect her information to be wrong, so she naturally wouldn't stay here for long.
However, just as she got up, she heard the person opposite her say, "Aunt ordered me to keep it safe for you. You absolutely cannot have it taken away by others. The Empress orders me, but I dare not disobey."
Madam Xie turned her head and locked her gaze onto that indifferent woman, while Xiao Yue did not fear her gaze in the slightest.
Bai Zhi's eyes widened. She was not the only one who was surprised!
