Chapter 233 Assassins
"Little Lord, are you all right?" Xiao Xuanzi took a step forward and asked with concern.
Yao Yulu shook her head and thought hard about everything about her, proving that Wuer was really dead. "Wuer... Dead?"
Ning'er looked at Xiao Xuanzi and didn't know how to answer Yao Yulu. The two of them found someone to carry Wu'er's body out early in the morning, and they didn't know whether Wu'er's family was still there. Hearing Ning'er say that Wu'er's mother had passed away, they must have no relatives, and they delayed it again. With many relationships, Wuer can have a grave, at least not burst into the wilderness.
"Lord, don't be sad anymore. There are still us around you." Ninger said quickly.
Yao Yulu bit her lip, but nodded for sure. She was no longer as fragile as before, and Wuer committed suicide. Although there were many reasons, she didn't want to think about it anymore. The deceased was over.
"I'm fine. You all go out. I want to take a break." Yao Yulu said quickly, and the expression on her face seemed to really care.
Ninger looked at Yao Yulu worriedly, but refused to leave for a long time. She looked worriedly at Xiao Xuanzi. Xiao Xuanzi was also a little helpless. Things had already happened, and Yao Yulu and Wuer had a deep relationship. How could he make Yao Yulu not sad or sad in a few words?
"Little Lord, have a good rest." Xiao Xuanzi sighed and dragged away the stunned Ninger away.
Yao Yulu looks at the white snow outside, and suddenly feels very blank in her mind. The snow is so white that it can cover up all the filth in the world, but the hearts of the people can never be baptized.
Wu'er couldn't bear her betrayal of Yao Yulu, so she chose such a form to understand life. Although she did not blame her, she still chose such a path without turning back. What can she say?
She just hates that she has no right. If she has the right to meet Wuer's requirements at that time, it will not evolve like this. She looked at the white snow outside and couldn't help sighing in her heart that it seemed that New Year's Eve was coming, and another year was about to pass.
The Empress Dowager's journey was forced to stop on the road because of the heavy snow. The snow fell for a day and a night, reaching the human calf.
The queen opened the window of the post house, and the snow outside had not stopped. I don't know how long they would be trapped here. The colder the weather is, the more difficult it will be to cure. Fortunately, she arrived at the post house in time, saving a lot of cold.
"Queen, it's time to wait for the Empress Dowager for dinner." The little maid beside him reminded.
The queen nodded slightly. It's time. These days, the empress dowager is waiting for the empress dowager. Although the empress dowager doesn't say anything, she is still very grateful to her.
The queen brought the food to the empress dowager's room. The empress dowager lay ** with a little haggard on her face, which was obviously caused by the fatigue of the journey.
"Queen Mother, let's eat something." The queen quickly put the food on the table, walked to the Empress Dowager, and helped the Empress Dowager up.
The Empress Dowager sat in a chair with the help of the queen, but she looked at the white snow outside through the window and couldn't help sighing. No one expected that it would snow so heavily when she came back. She didn't know how long she would stay here.
"Queen, hasn't the snow stopped?" The Empress Dowager asked outside.
"After returning to my mother, I didn't stop." The queen prepared all the food and handed it to the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager took it, and her whole body looked a little melancholy. She ate two mouthfuls of food and could no longer sit still. She let the queen help her to the edge of the window and look at the silver world outside with a smile on her face.
"The snow is so beautiful, let's go out for a walk." The Empress Dowager sighed and said.
How dare the queen dare to refute? She had to help the Empress Dowager walk down step by step. Except for a few concubines who picked up the Empress Dowager, there was no one else in the post hall, which seemed a little lonely.
The Empress Dowager slowly walked to the yard. The snow was not very heavy, but the queen still couldn't help tightening her eyebrows. I don't know what the Empress Dowager wanted to do, but she actually wanted to enjoy the snow?
"Queen, what's your plan to bring Yufei out this time?" The Empress Dowager asked faintly as she walked.
The queen nodded slowly. Of course, her little tricks could not be hidden from the empress dowager's eyes. "The concubine is just angry that she occupies the emperor, and the sisters in the harem can't get rain and dew, so the concubine came up with this strategy."
"You have always been very relieved to do things, and for the Yao family, the family has been persuading the emperor not to approach, but the emperor is still deeply involved in it in the end. Fortunately, Yao Yulu has been beaten into the cold palace. No matter how arrogant Yao Yujiao is, she is still a person and can't become a big weapon." The Empress Dowager said with exclamation.
The queen hurriedly nodded her head. Of course, she knew that the Empress Dowager had always hated the Yao family. Because of the great achievements of the Yao family, I'm afraid even the emperor was quite concerned about it. Therefore, as the Empress Dowager said, no matter how arrogant Yao Yujiao was, she would not be generous after all.
"I know, but I'm just angry." The queen said quickly.
The Empress Dowager nodded with a little vicissitudes on her face, "It's just the queen, you should always remember your current identity. If you are not broad-minded enough, I'm afraid your position as queen has reached the top."
The queen was shocked and was obviously scared by the Empress Dowager's words. "I remember the Empress Dowager's words, and I must change my mind."
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and continued to walk forward, but the queen felt cold for a while.
The Empress Dowager's words were inserted into her heart like a sharp sword. Of course, she knew that the Empress Dowager's statement was correct. Recently, she was a little impetuous. When Xiao Shufei died, she felt that Yao Yujiao's threat to her was too great, so she couldn't calm down. However, after the Empress Dowager's words today, her heart I feel much more cheerful.
"Who is that man?" The Empress Dowager pointed to a figure who came to them not far away and asked.
The queen quickly looked up and saw Ji Shuidong coming towards them in the wind. Her petite body looked a little unbearable in the cold wind.
"It's Ji Guiren, who came with his concubine." The queen said lightly.
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, but she saw Ji Shuidong several times when she came, but Ji Shuidong did not like to talk, and she also seemed a little dull, so the Empress Dowager did not have a deep impression of her.
"Oh, it's her." The Empress Dowager said unintentionally.
Ji Shuidong came to them in front of the wind and frost. Ji Shuidong also saw the empress dowager and the queen when she arrived in front of them. She was slightly surprised and then got down.
"I want to see the Empress Dowager, the Empress."
"Get up, why did Ji Guiren come back from there?" The Empress Dowager looked at Ji Shuidong with sharp eyes and asked.
"My concubine went there to see the snow scene." Ji Shuidong said while fiddling with the corners of her skirt, which were soaked. Obviously, she had been out for a long time.
The Empress Dowager nodded to her and said nothing more. The three people continued to walk forward, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger. The Empress Dowager was unwilling to go down any further. Now she followed them on the road to the post hall.
Suddenly, with a crash, several people in black gushed out of the heavy snow. The men in black chased after them, and the three were shocked to see this.
Especially the Empress Dowager, who was so surprised that she didn't know what to do. She quickly scolded loudly, "Who are these people?"
The queen looked at the men in black running towards them, quickly stood in front of them and shouted, "Who are you? Do you know who is in front of you?"
Those people in black rushed to them regardless and didn't say anything, that is to say, they know their identity very well, and they can be sure that they are coming for them.
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly dragged the empress dowager and ran to the post house. Ji Shuidong shouted even more. Suddenly, the man in black kicked the queen on the left side of the empress dowager directly.
The queen rolled directly into the snow, and the guard of the posthouse quickly ran in the direction of the empress dowager with a knife after hearing the sound.
"Empress Dowager Dog, take your life!" One of them roared and stabbed in the direction of the empress dowager. The empress dowager opened her mouth in shock and watched the sword stab her.
Just as the sword immediately pierced her body, Ji Shuidong, who was beside her, suddenly threw the Empress Dowager directly into the snow. With a bang, the sword of the man in black had been inserted into Ji Shuidong's chest.
At this time, the guards also came. Seeing this, the man in black looked at each other and quickly disappeared into the snow-white world.
