Su Chen jumped into the air and saw a white figure sliding strangely in front of him. He regained his composure, and when he looked back, he found a woman in white standing next to Butler Li's body.

The woman is tall, dignified, and has a delicate face. Her etiquette can be seen just by standing there.

Su Chen was certain that this woman was not from the palace.

The mysterious woman quickly took a look at the surrounding environment, and at the same time noticed the small hole in the wall. She probably had some understanding of the matter, and asked calmly: "Did you kill this person?"

Su Chen did not respond to her, but still held the dagger ready to attack.

His mind is now in chaos. The appearance of the woman has disrupted all subsequent plans. He only has one thought now, how to prevent this woman from spreading the news. If it is not possible, he can only kill her. However, the moment he came into contact with her, the woman's body shape changed.

It was very strange, floating in front of him like a ghost, making him break out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the other party was a master who had practiced martial arts? If so, today would be very unlucky.

Because Su Chen was too nervous, he didn't notice that the woman was extremely calm in the face of this situation, not panicking, and her behavior remained elegant.

The mysterious woman also noticed Su Chen's intention and said to reassure her: "Don't panic. Do you think I mean to yell? You don't have to think about how to deal with me, because you are no match for me."

Only then did Su Chen realize that this mysterious woman acted too calmly and seemed extremely unreasonable.

After trying his best to calm down, he asked coldly: "You are not from the palace, who are you?"

"I am the envoy of the Palace of Eternal Life. After traveling for a day and a night, I finally arrived in Xizhou. I just wanted to come to get some hot water to soak my feet, but I saw you killing people here."

The mysterious woman replied with a slight complaint, and then she changed her tone and said nonchalantly: "But such a dirty person deserves to die. You can do whatever you have to do, don't worry about me."

After saying that, the mysterious woman who claimed to be the messenger was ready to leave calmly, not caring about anything at all.

But as soon as she took a step forward, she turned back, took out a small porcelain bottle from her waist, and then poured some powder from the small porcelain bottle. The powder fell on Butler Li's body. In the blink of an eye, Butler Li's body seemed to be weathered.

It was as if it was dead, scattered in the wind, not even leaving a trace of blood.

After doing all this, the mysterious woman clapped her hands happily and said as she walked: "I helped you dispose of the body. Now I am also your accomplice. You can go about your business without worries. I will never tell the truth.

"

Su Chen watched the mysterious woman disappear from around the corner. He was confused the whole time. Who was this woman? She looked like an immortal, but her methods were strange and unpredictable. The most important thing was that her behavior and temperament were completely different.

.

Su Chen's mind was still in chaos, but he couldn't care about that much. He quickly rushed back to the kitchen yard and plunged into the tall grass at the back. After groping for a while, he successfully found the entrance of the cave without looking back.

Left the palace.

The palace is located in the center of Yecheng. There are main roads on the north and south sides. The streets are bustling with people coming and going. The shops along the street are full of products. It is an autumn afternoon and the sun is shining brightly. Many shop owners are enjoying the sunshine at the door.

, chatting with the boss across the street from time to time, the scene is peaceful and peaceful.

Su Chen turned into South Street from the alley on the west side, took a big breath of fresh air, and smiled unconsciously as he looked at the free scene in front of him.

He almost never left the palace gate. At most, he helped carry goods at the front and back doors under the supervision of Butler Li. At that time, he could occasionally glance at the colorful scenes on the street, which would make him extremely excited.

I'm finally out!

Su Chen couldn't hide his excitement and jumped up happily, but he soon regained his composure. He knew that as long as he was still in Yecheng, he would definitely be taken back, so he had to leave the city as soon as possible.

So he ran all the way along South Street. He had seen the map of Yecheng. There were city gates in four directions. As long as he walked along a main road, he would definitely reach the city gate.

At this time, there was a figure standing on a tall building near Su Chen, staring at him. In fact, from the moment he left the palace, someone had been paying attention to his every move.

…

A basin of cold water was poured on his face, and Su Chen suddenly woke up from his coma. He found that his hands were held up by the palace guards, and his body was lying on the ground in a half-kneeling position. He raised his head with difficulty and looked around. Here is

In the main courtyard of the palace, facing the south gate, standing in front of him was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue cotton coat. He knew this man. He was the chief steward of the palace, and his status was higher than that of all the housekeepers, except for a few distinguished guests.

As the owner of the palace, he is considered to have the highest status in the palace.

Su Chen felt pain coming from the back of his head. His last memory was running wildly on South Street, and then he felt like someone had knocked him on the back of his head. When he woke up, he was back in the palace again.

"Tell me, why do you want to run away?" the chief steward asked, his words filled with majestic courage.

Su Chen didn't say a word, because after he recognized the reality, his expression was extremely lost. He just lowered his head and looked at the ground blankly. He had imagined in advance that the consequences of running away and being caught would be worse than death, but he

Fortunately, Butler Li has been killed by him. I just hope that this big steward can give him a happy life. He is already ready to die.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the chief steward said angrily: "Since you don't say anything, let me make you mute forever. Come and pull out his tongue!"

After giving the order, several strong servants stepped forward and held down Su Chen's head, preventing him from moving, and then opened his mouth.

At this time, Su Chen was extremely angry and roared with all his strength: "Kill me! Please kill me! Who are you? Isn't it enough that you have tortured me for sixteen years?"

Su Chen's voice was extremely crazy and hoarse, like a wounded beast wailing, heartbroken but helpless.

The servants who were about to take action were stunned, and the chief steward was also shocked.

He was not familiar with the handyman Su Chen. He only remembered that he was under the jurisdiction of Butler Li. But Butler Li also disappeared at this time. He had no idea what the handyman named Su Chen in front of him had experienced.

Su Chen continued to be crazy, not only was his words arrogant, but his body was also struggling desperately. The chief steward felt that something was a little strange, so he quickly summoned a servant to ask: "Has Butler Li been found?"

"Not yet. We have asked the secret guards to assist, but there is still no news."

Didn't even the secret guards notice? The chief steward was a little nervous. The most stringent checkpoint in the palace was the secret guards. They could dig out people even if they were hiding underground. Where did Butler Li go? Why did he disappear out of thin air?

, maybe there is some loophole in the palace’s warning!

Su Chen was still furious, but his movements gradually became smaller and his voice became lower. Firstly, the inner guard began to exert more force, and secondly, he himself was about to collapse.

At this moment, a group of people walked into the yard. They were looking for the sound.
