Chapter 172 The Mysterious Old Court Lady

Lan Yunyi was stunned by what she said. She found that she could understand every word the old palace maid said, but when the words were connected together, she couldn't understand the meaning.

"Mommy, everything is the same? What does my body smell like? What... a river of blood? Who and where did my breath come from??"

Lan Yunyi turned to look at her, holding the washing bucket with her hands still stiff, and slowly stopped. Her expression was a little confused and a little anxious.

Who is this old palace maid in front of me?

Why did she say that every breath she took was taken back?

Did she mean that after she was reborn, every extra moment of her life was stolen from Chu Huan?

Then who should I be grateful to?

Lan Yunyi stood motionless as she stared at the old palace maid's cloudy eyes. One of her eyeballs had become diseased and had a nebula.

In the darkness, her eyes were dim and she just looked at Lan Yunyi with a smile, and an air of indifference to death spread throughout her body.

Lan Yunyi felt her scalp numb, and she heard her heart beating wildly.

The old palace maid looked at Lan Yunyi's confused expression and realized that she actually didn't know anything. She was a little surprised, and slowly stopped the smile on her face.

"It's also a good thing not to know... It's also a good thing not to know..."

The old palace maid shook her head slowly, placed the laundry bucket heavily on the ground, and her expression became serious: "I just want to tell you-"

Seeing that she was about to tell the answer, Lan Yunyi hurriedly clenched her fists.

But the expression of the old palace maid suddenly changed, her body trembled suddenly, and when she opened her mouth again, black blood flowed out of her mouth.

Lan Yunyi's eyes widened and she exclaimed: "Old grandma? Old grandma?? What's wrong with you??"

The old grandma's body fell to the ground like a wooden stake.

Lan Yunyi hurriedly knelt on the ground and supported her, but saw black blood flowing from the corners of her eyes and ears.

There seemed to be a strange figure flashing beside him, and then Zhu Qing shouted: "Master! There is something strange around you, be careful!"

Her sword was taken away when she entered the palace, and she could only fight the two black-clad assassins with her bare hands.

Seeing Zhu Qing stop the assassin's movement, Lan Yunyi hurriedly took hold of the old palace maid's pulse.

The old palace maid was already convulsing all over and her pulse was weak, but Lan Yunyi was surprised to find that her sudden vomiting of blood had nothing to do with that moment, but that she contained a huge amount of poison in her body.

She hurriedly took out the pills from the cloth bag.

"Mommy, these pills can temporarily hang your life. My master is still in the palace and has herbs in his hand. He will definitely save your life!"

After Lan Yunyi finished speaking, she quickly raised her head and tried to stuff the pill into her mouth.

But she shook her head with great difficulty, unwilling to take the pills in Lan Yunyi's hand. She looked like she didn't even have the slightest desire to live.

Blood was still pouring from her mouth, and she didn't know what she was saying.

Lan Yunyi quickly put her ear to the old palace maid's lips.

"No need... no need to treat me... I have lived long enough... I should have died long ago..."

Lan Yunyi's heart trembled, but the old palace maid raised her head with great effort and put her mouth to Lan Yunyi's ear.

"Be careful...someone wants to harm you."

After she said this, her body softened and her head fell heavily on Lan Yunyi's arm.

Lan Yunyi's whole body froze.

She used her fingers to explore the old palace maid's breath, only to find that she was out of breath.

Lan Yunyi's eyes darkened.

She was sure that what the old palace maid was about to say to her just now was definitely not this.

Someone wants to harm her... Of course there are many people who want to harm her, but the old palace maid has never met her, so who could she be talking about?

Lan Yunyi took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Qing's back fighting in the distance, and stood up hastily.

She muttered a formula and ran in the direction of Zhu Qing, but before she could get there, Zhu Qing swept her legs again and swept the two assassins to the ground.

She bit her back molars again and pressed hard. Lan Yunyi only heard a crunching sound, like a broken bone.

The two assassins were crushed under her like a stack of arhats.

So...so fierce...

Lan Yunyi was amazed.

She paused, then hurriedly hugged the hem of her skirt and ran to Zhu Qing's side.

"Master, it's been solved." Zhu Qing's voice was cold. She pinched the assassin's arm and turned it suddenly, and the arms of the two assassins were completely removed.

"Who ordered you to come?"

Lan Yunyi pursed her lips, picked up the assassin's head hanging on the ground, and yanked off the black cloth covering his face.

The assassin gritted his teeth and stared at Lan Yunyi, but did not speak.

"Is this Princess Lingshu?"

Lan Yunyi spoke calmly, carefully staring at the expression on the assassin's face, and asked tentatively.

The assassin was still gritting his teeth. Zhu Qing suddenly increased the strength on his hand. He grunted and his eyes almost turned into cross-eyed roosters, but he didn't say a word.

"Is it the Queen? Or the Lin Mansion?"

As soon as Lan Yunyi finished speaking, the assassin's pupils shrank suddenly, but he forced himself to calm down and remained silent.

"Is it Concubine Zhen?" Lan Yunyi lowered her head, got closer to him, and spoke in a much softer voice.

"It's Concubine Zhen! It's Concubine Zhen who sent me here!" The assassin shouted loudly with scarlet eyes.

As soon as the assassin finished speaking, a group of guards came running from a distance.

"What happened over there?" the leading guard shouted loudly.

Lan Yunyi wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then Shi Shiran stood up: "Two assassins killed a nun in the palace."

"There was a strange movement in the palace garden just now. I led my troops to search. It was my dereliction of duty to deal with this situation in time."

The head guard also heard what happened in the Queen Mother's Palace that night. He bowed his hands respectfully towards Lan Yunyi and ordered his men to take custody of the two assassins.

Is there anything strange happening in the palace's other gardens? How could you see it like this?

Lan Yunyi pursed her lips.

"Please rest assured and the old miracle doctor, we will find out the mastermind behind the incident."

As soon as the guard leader finished speaking, the little guard in the distance shouted anxiously: "They - they are out of breath!"

Zhuqing was a little surprised when she heard this. She had obviously removed their jaws and even lost the chance to take the poison.

But when she turned her head suddenly and saw that the swords in their hands penetrated each other's bodies, she clenched her fists tightly again.

Seeing the guards walking away with the three corpses, Zhu Qingcai secretly cursed at Lan Yunyi: "The guards in the palace are all a bunch of trash. I originally wanted to inform the prince and ask him to help you investigate the matter thoroughly.

No one can keep secrets under the interrogation of the prince."

Lan Yunyi smiled slightly, then slowly pinched Zhu Qing's wrist and comforted her.

"It doesn't matter, I probably already know who sent these assassins today. I still have some questions to ask Concubine Zhen."
