Chapter 26 Murder in the Post Hall
Huo Yurui's heart is cold. What he can't see most is the jealousy between women, and even hurting people's lives. The resentment in his heart is simply outrageous. These beautiful girls haven't entered the palace yet. It's already like this. When they enter the palace in the future, they don't know what they will look like.
"I, I didn't want to hurt her, but who would have thought that there would be a vermilion bowl in the dinner. She ate so much. It happened that I brought lotus incense beside me. Such a good opportunity, wouldn't I be sorry for myself?" Yang Min cried and laughed again, laughing desolately.
"I will report this matter to the emperor and ask him to punish him, but you definitely can't go to Beijing. Come on, send Miss Yang back to my home and tell Lord Yang to have a good time with your daughter. Huo Yurui was silent for a moment and ordered his men to say, "I took good care of her all the way. She was still a young lady before the emperor's order came down for a day. If she neglects, you are the only one to ask."
"Yes, my lord." The bodyguard hugged his fist and turned to Yang Min and said, "Miss, pack up and go on the road."
Yang Min's eyes were empty at this time, and her face was desperate. The rest of the beautiful women can't help but feel sad when they look at her like this. Women are destined to have a war. The sisters of the previous moment may be the enemies of the next moment, or even the enemies to your death.
Although Lin Xuanyu was rescued, if she was not saved, she would be the one who died. Now, Yang Min's evil deeds have been exposed, which not only destroys her future, but may also involve her whole family. Whoever is the victim of the war. However, if you want to become the emperor's woman, these are inevitable. Just look at who is better.
"Miss Ling, it's really thanks to you this time." When everyone dispersed, Huo Yurui said to Ling Xiao, "When I took the bodyguard over there, Yang Min was about to destroy the private red bowl in the room. If it was a step later, it would be too late."
"I guess that the murderer must be among the five of us. If there is a big movement, the murderer will definitely destroy the body, so I asked the adult to send someone to search the three young ladies's room at the same time. The person who did it must not have thought that the adult would find her so soon." Ling Xiao said.
"Miss's wisdom, Huo admires her. However, although the truth has been found, Miss Lin's life is not in danger, and I am still very sad. Huo Yurui sighed.
Ling Xiao looked gloomy, why didn't she? Although Yang Min deserves it, if it hadn't been for her, she wouldn't have come to such an end, would she?
The time was almost over. Before Lin Xuanyu woke up, Ling Xiao went to see her, comforted Zhu Xiang, and then went back to her room.
When the blue fog sent her back to the room, Ling Xiao found that there was a red and swollen mark on her right cheek, which seemed to have been slapped.
Seeing that Ling Xiao found it, Qingwu still tried to cover it up and kept pulling the hair in her ear to the front, hoping that Miss could not see it.
"Stop it. I've already seen it. What's going on?" Ling Xiao's tone was already a little harsh. Usually, she doesn't smile too much, but she has never been so harsh.
Qingwu then whispered with tears in his eyes, "It's the maidservant of the county magistrate in Minxian County. I accidentally occupied her bed, and she didn't say anything..."
How dare a small subordinate of the Zhixian family have this courage?
"Min County?" Ling Xiao thought about it seriously and said for a long time, "I heard that the empress dowager came from Min County today?"
"Exactly, I heard that the current county magistrate of Minxian County and the empress dowager are still distant relatives. Although it is already far away, it is barely a royal relative." The blue fog lowered its head.
It's really one person, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. However, if they regard themselves as relatives of the emperor and regard themselves as relatives, the Empress Dowager may not pay attention to it.
The Qianxi Dynasty can flourish today. In addition to the solid foundation laid by several ancestors, our empress dowager is absolutely indispensable. When she was the queen, she had already helped the emperor deal with government affairs and turned upside down in the court as her daughter.
When the emperor was critically ill and the court was in turmoil, she even supported the prince to ascend the throne. Will such a woman be a general person? Will you pay attention to the so-called emperor who can't beat an eight poles and smear his face? If the Empress Dowager knew that the people in the family were so arrogant and domineering, she may be the first to "clean up the door".
Of course, nominally speaking, they are still on the edge of the Empress Dowager. Even if they want to clean it up, they can't let others take action, otherwise they won't give it to the Empress Dowager. But that doesn't mean that they can go on like this. There is still a long way to go. Let's take a look.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao pulled Qingwu's hand, asked her to sit down in the chair, took out the embroidered handkerchief from her arms, and gently rubbed it for her.
"Oh, miss, I can't do it. How can I let the maidservant serve me? How can I bear it?" The blue fog said as he wanted to stand up.
Ling Xiao pressed her down and said with a straight face, "You won't listen to what you said."
"Yes." Now, she didn't dare to move.
"You are wronged for me. I treat you better, and of course I deserve it." Ling Xiao said, "But don't worry, your grievance will not be in vain."
"Miss..."
To beat a dog depends on the owner's face, not to mention that Qingwu is a human. How can her little maidservant dare to be so bold? Isn't there anyone supporting her? The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is bound to be straight. She is just the daughter of a magistrate. Relying from the empress dowager's family, she doesn't even pay attention to the young lady of the magistrate's family. Now it's her servant, isn't it her turn in the future?
"You can sleep with me tonight. You don't have anything left there, do you?"
"No... But, miss, it's not very good. If someone knows, they will say that we don't know the rules."
"It's just that I'm not feeling well. You serve me all night. It's all right."
"Hmm."
The master and servant just squeezed in the little ** and slept together.
Not long after they fell asleep, the two were woken up by the noise outside.
"What's wrong with this?" Ling Xiao turned over and wanted to continue to squint for a while, but the noise outside was too loud, so he said to Qingwu, "Go out and see what's going on."
"Yes, miss." Qingwu put on his clothes, tidied it up a little, and went outside to have a look.
For a moment, he came back and said to Ling Xiao, "Miss, I heard that someone saw a strange man in the inner courtyard."
The inner courtyard is the place where beautiful women live. Except for special circumstances, not to mention ordinary bodyguards, even Huo Yurui can't enter at will. Now, the appearance of strange men is still suspicious. This is related to the fame of beautiful women, not a trivial matter.
Ling Xiao listened and his face suddenly changed. Is it Li Ye? Didn't he leave a long time ago?
Qingwu only thought that she was scared and looked so pale. He said, "Miss, it's okay. Lord Huo has sent someone to investigate. He will not let the thief escape. Even if he can't catch it, he won't let the ladies have an accident."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao became more nervous. According to his understanding of Li Ye, he is not such an indifferent person, but after all, it matters, and he is still worried.
"Let's go out and have a look, too." Ling Xiao got up, simply cleaned up, and then went outside with Qingwu.
Huo Yurui happened to be in front, so he came forward and asked, "Lord Huo, I don't know what's going on again."
When Lin Xuanyu had an accident last night, Huo Yurui had already seen their faces, and there was no need to hide them at this time. Goodbye was not very embarrassing. She said bluntly, "Miss Shicaiguan's maid Bi'er saw a strange man turning out of the wall. I have sent someone out to search."
"Is Miss Guan all right?" In fact, Ling Xiao just asked casually because he was guilty.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yurui's color changed for a moment when he heard it. Isn't this Miss Guan an affair with someone? Is the person who escaped out the love husband?
"Why, Bier didn't come in to care about her own lady?" Seeing that Huo Yurui looked wrong, Ling Xiao asked.
"I just wanted to catch people and asked Bier to go out to help the bodyguards take people. Only she has seen the man's appearance." Huo Yurui showed an annoyed look and then asked someone to tell them to go down, "Come on, call out the girls. None of them can fall down. After a scent, gather in the front hall."
"Miss, isn't there anything serious?" Qingwu asked with a little fear.
"It's okay. Let's go to the front hall, too."
The time for a fragrance soon came, and the beautiful girls also arrived one after another. Miss Guan was also safe and sound. She also complained, "Bier, a little girl, doesn't even care about her own young lady when she has something to do." It's half angrunt, but there is no blame. It seems that this lady is not a difficult person to serve.
"Has everyone arrived?" Huo Yurui was asking when a little maid suddenly ran into the door, and she looked very anxious.
"Lord Huo, it's not good, my young lady... my young lady..." The person who came directly grabbed Huo Yurui's sleeve and didn't care about it.
"Who is your lady?" Huo Yurui didn't sleep well all night, his eyes turned red, and now he has a headache. One is still lying down, but don't let anything happen again.
"My master is Liu Zhi County, Songhu County." The little maid said hurriedly.
"What's wrong with Miss Liu?"
"My lady's door can't be opened, and she doesn't answer. There must be something wrong."
"Then why didn't you say it until now?" Huo Yurui was anxious as soon as he heard it. He hurriedly took someone to Miss Liu's room and asked the girl.
"Miss Lin had an accident last night. After I sent her back to her room, she didn't sleep. She said she was scared, so I sat with her in the room for a long time. It was not until the third minute that the young lady suddenly said that she was hungry and asked me to go to the kitchen to make soup. As a result, I was still busy in the kitchen when I suddenly heard something. When I went back to find the young lady, the door couldn't be opened.
The little maid's words were full of tears. The more she said, the more Huo Yurui frowned. Soon, the group arrived at Miss Liu's room and tried it, but it really couldn't be opened.
"Come on, knock the door open."
"Yes, my lord."
The door was knocked open at once.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, and more timid shouted out after being stunned. Miss Liu's maid looked pale in an instant, trembled all over, and then fainted.
I saw that the room was messy, and the tables and chairs were overturned to the ground. Miss Liu fell into a pool of blood, with a dagger in her abdomen, and almost all the knife handles were immersed in her body, and there were two open jewelry boxes around her.
