Chapter 96: The Core Secret of Prince Li's Mansion
Soon, Tian Xiang returned to the palace and informed Wu Tian of Hongxiu's decision to sign a contract with the palace and perform at the Blue Flower House.
Wu Tian came out from the back door of the palace with a stack of contracts, asked Hong Xiu to sign his name, then signed it, and showed Hong Xiu a servant's room in the palace.
"From now on, you will sleep here. After dinner every night, you will go to the Blue and White House to perform. In the morning, you will go back to the palace to rest, but you can only go in and out through the back door, not the front door."
After saying that, Wu Tian turned around and left. The bedding in the servant's room was all brand new. Although the material was not the best silk and satin, it was much softer than the fabrics used by ordinary people.
But Hongxiu still felt resentful. As soon as Wu Tian left, she punched the table angrily.
"You actually let me sleep in a place like this, Hua Jin! You will soon fall from the position of Princess Li. I swear, you will not be proud for long, and you will not be proud for long!"
She had never been humiliated like this before. She was so charming that no man would not fall in love with her, and no man would love to have her in his heart.
Born in this northern city, Hongxiu experienced humiliation she had never experienced before.
She would get all of this back from Hua Jin, she swore.
That night, Hongxiu sneaked into the kitchen of the palace and sprinkled the packet of medicinal powder given to her by the old woman into the well of the palace.
In the early morning, the sky was dark, and after midnight, the gate of the palace had not yet been opened. Other than that, the entire palace was lifeless.
Even the people who wanted to deliver fresh fruits, vegetables and pork to the palace every day before dawn failed to open the back door of the palace.
A group of men in black climbed over the wall and stood in the courtyard of Prince Li's Mansion in broad daylight, holding weapons.
"Take Hua Jin abducted and kill the rest!"
The leading man in black spoke Beirong dialect, raised his hand, and a group of men in black dispersed.
A man in black whispered:
"Something feels wrong. Why is there no one in Prince Li's mansion?"
There should be a lot of maids and guards in the huge Prince Li's mansion. If these people were all drugged, shouldn't they be staggering around and there would be stunned people everywhere?
Why is it so clean along the way?
The leader in black clothes also felt strange. He held his weapon and led the two men in black into the flower hall unimpeded. Suddenly he felt something was wrong, so he turned around and saw the garden full of flowers.
Hua Jin, who was wearing a sky-blue long skirt with a slanted skirt, was standing in the rich greenery. Her long hair was slightly pulled back, and she was leaning on the Shang Fang sword that had been dug out with gems. She looked at them indifferently with a bright and beautiful expression.
"you!"
The leader of Beirong was startled and pointed at Hua Jin with the sword in his hand.
"You didn't drink the water from the well?"
Hua Jin slightly raised her delicate eyebrows,
"How can one live without water after drinking it? The well in the palace's kitchen provides the life of one hundred and fifty people in the entire palace. How can we not drink water?"
"Then how did you..."
Before the leader of Beirong finished speaking, screams could be heard from the men in black scattered in Prince Li's palace.
Hua Jin looked indifferent and answered,
"How come I wasn't stunned? It's obvious that we changed your drug."
After the words fell, Wu Tian stood on the ridge of the roof, cupped his hands,
"Empress, there are thirty assassins in total, and twenty-seven of them have been killed."
As Wu Tian finished his words, Xiao Yue'er held a knife full of gems and led a guard over. The guard was still holding Hong Xiu with a frightened expression in his hand.
"I don't know, I don't know anything, why do you want to arrest me?"
Hongxiu still looked confused. She was thrown to the ground by the guards. She struggled to sit up and took a look. Her skin was covered with purple fingerprints on her wrists.
There is no way, her skin is too tender.
After looking at her wrist, Hong Xiu stared at Hua Jin angrily without understanding the situation.
"Did you do it on purpose? You tricked me into returning to the palace, and then you found someone to tease me."
Hua Jin lowered his eyes and stared at this idiot without saying a word.
Yue'er, on the other hand, was very stingy, so she slapped Hong Xiu's face with her small hand. Not to mention the pain, the big girl Yue'er's aura was heightened by the beating anyway.
Just listen to Yue'er say angrily:
"You bitch, you are colluding with internal enemies and external enemies. How dare you poison the well of the palace, murder the landowner's wife, collude with the Beirong people, and execute the five clans according to the law."
Hong Xiu was stunned by these words. She looked at Hua Jin in a panic, and then at the three men in black in the flower hall, shaking her head.
"No, no, they are not from Beirong, they are from His Highness King Qi. His Highness's people said that they wanted me to sprinkle the powder into the well, but they did not say what kind of medicine it was. I don't know. I don't know anything about it.
have no idea......"
"So you didn't know anything and still did it?"
Hua Jin looked at Hongxiu speechlessly. Is this idiot brainless?
Immediately, she raised her eyes and looked at the leader of the men in black in the flower hall. It was obvious that this group of people was not from King Qi at all, but from Beirong.
The man in black was shocked and angry,
"This is all your conspiracy? When did you find out?"
"From the moment Hong Xiu, this idiot, agreed to go to Qinghua House to perform as an entertainer and move back into the palace."
Hua Jin moved, and she lazily lifted the sword, as if it couldn't be lifted. The sharp sword tip rubbed against the bluestone floor, leaving white sword marks on the ground.
She walked towards the leader of the man in black and said lazily:
"It's too early for you to take action. I haven't even slept well yet."
Now she just wants to finish the fight quickly, and Hua Jin has to go back and have a good sleep. After she is full of sleep, she can solve the remaining problems.
But the other party refused, and the man in black asked again without giving up:
"It's impossible. Our plan was obviously perfect. Even if this stupid woman returns to the palace, you shouldn't have discovered the problem so early."
Hongxiu took action as soon as he moved into the palace. Only a few hours after Hongxiu took action, they entered the palace.
Before that, they had been lying in wait around the palace for a long time, and had found out in detail the work and rest time of Hua Jin and the people in the palace.
This plan should be foolproof, especially since they have found an "internal aid" like Hong Xiu.
As a result, they jumped into the royal palace's ambush, which was impossible.
"This, there is a professional term called the security system trigger mechanism."
Hua Jin squinted her eyes, walked slowly with her sword in hand, and explained:
"Every new face who enters the palace will be subject to 360-degree surveillance. It can be said that you think that Prince Li's palace seems to be loosely guarded. That is just a superficial phenomenon. Well~ you won't understand even if I tell you, the core secrets of Prince Li's palace are
, cannot be explained thoroughly.”
Ever since the last time Qu Lechang broke into her room in the palace before being discovered by the palace guards, Hua Jin had copied a scientific human eye monitoring plan based on her experience in the apocalypse.
She guarded against the intrusion of zombies, guarding against every assassin who tried to leap into the palace without permission.
Prevent normal people from being turned into zombies, and guard against all abnormal behaviors within the palace.
Not to mention that all Hongxiu's actions within the palace were undetectable. Even Tianxiang has not entered the surveillance desensitization period after living in Prince Li's palace for so long.
"Impossible, impossible, our plan is very detailed..."
The leader of the man in black obviously could not accept the failure of this mission and began to talk to himself in Beirong dialect.
Looking at Hua Jin's decadent and lazy look, he suddenly got angry and roared,
"You bitch, go to hell!"
He led the remaining two men in black and rushed towards Hua Jin.
