He was not as naive and ignorant as Wen Zhao, and he was not as sophisticated as the rich and powerful. He was an upright person. At least in this aspect, she felt that Wen Shao was pretty good and worthy of respect.
Wen Shao said that he had heard about his younger siblings, thanked Chu Yunjing, and apologized to his parents and younger brother, saying that Chu Che was a good brother-in-law...
Unexpectedly, Wen Shao encountered her being assassinated as soon as he came to the Shangfu Bureau. Wen Shao asked if she needed to be sent back or if she needed to call someone. She said no and told Wen Shao to pretend that she had not seen the assassination today.
, she will settle it, Wen Shao was surprisingly obedient and did not ask any more questions.
She also wanted to thank Wen Shao for saving her life. Without Wen Shao and Zhou Yang, she would have died long ago. After Wen Shao left, she kicked the body on the ground angrily.
There was such a big incident in the Sifang Courtyard of the Sixth Palace Bureau. There was such a big commotion and no one came to say hello. No doubt the palace people around here had been dismissed, and some were waiting to collect the bodies.
The magpie is dead, and there is no evidence of his death...
How can I comment on this matter? It was rotten in the stomach. It was the queen who killed her on purpose to restrain her.
These killers were all gangsters, and there was not a single one left alive. She squatted down and pulled off the mask of one of the killers. She could not tell anything by just looking at the face. She touched the bodies of these dead people, but still found nothing. Even the sword he used was
They are exactly the same, no clues can be seen at all.
"Don't look anymore, these deadpools have their identities hidden on purpose. Even if they are alive, they will bite out the poison in their mouths and commit suicide."
Zhou Yang, who had been standing behind him for a long time, spoke up. He tore off pieces of black clothes from a corpse on the ground and began to wipe his waist knife carefully, wiping away all the blood on it.
Then he began to check whether the blade was damaged or scratched. The focused man was somewhat charming. He had never seen Zhou Yang care so much about anything. Apart from revenge, it was his knife.
She signaled Qiu Kang to pick out the hidden poison from the mouths of these dead people, and Qiu Kang started tremblingly.
These people should believe in the taboo concept. Everyone in the palace is taboo about dead people, and Qiu Kang is no exception. Although he has committed murder for his master, it does not prevent him from touching the corpse.
The master's words were more important than violating taboos, so Qiu Kang opened his stiff mouth with a look of disgust, endured the nausea in his heart, and took out a small pill.
Qiu Kang looked at the pills in his hand and made a loud sound, as if he wanted to vomit all the gall in his stomach.
Chu Yunjing was fine at first, but when she saw Qiu Kang vomiting, she felt sick to her stomach, not because of the strong smell of blood in the yard, but because of Qiu Kang's reaction.
She quickly turned her back and followed the turbid air in her chest with her little hands to suppress her rolling appetite. Looking at her appearance, Zhou Yang couldn't help but curl his lips, and then continued to wipe his knife.
Although his Bingyao sword is in the style of the Forbidden Army's waist sword, the materials used are indeed extraordinary. It is made from the rare iron iron in the world. According to legend, the iron iron is the material used for the Ruyi golden cudgel in Sun Xingzhe's hands, forged by Taishang Laojun.
Zhou Yang specially asked the knife forger master in Qi Yunshan to use thin iron to make it into the style of the imperial army's waist knife, so as to hide it and make it easy to use.
After polishing it to a shiny finish, I touched the mouth of the scabbard with my left hand, made a knife move with my right hand, and the knife slipped smoothly into the scabbard in an instant.
In her eyes, Zhou Yang was just pretending to be cool, but she did admire Zhou Yang's strength.
"Okay, okay, Eunuch Qiu will take out a few and it's enough. Put it away quickly. It's time for us to leave!" She urged Qiu Kang with her back turned.
Qiu Kang wrapped the small pills in a handkerchief, then put Qian Guanguan on his back and followed Chu Yunjing out of the square yard.
She just came to start a fight, and ended up getting killed. If all the people from the Department of Decoration were here just now, wouldn't they all be killed?
Passing by the already cold corpse of a magpie lying on the ground, the magpie stared fiercely with its eyes wide open and its mouth wide open, looking very much like the grandma who died after bumping into a dragon's claw.
Chu Yunjing was still a little frightened, and his pace quickened. As expected, the entire Liu Shang Bureau palace staff were taken away. After leaving the Liu Shang Bureau in just one cup of tea, he saw the eunuchs on duty on the corridor, and two young men.
The result of the eunuch's knowledge was that Qiu Kang had money on his back.
Qiu Kang is not young anymore. He is in his forties and has old arms and legs due to lack of exercise in daily life. He ouched several times when there was no heavy object on his back.
After Qiu Kang presented the packet of small pills with both hands, he requested an order and returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She asked Qiu Kang not to say anything more about what happened today.
After asking the young eunuch, I found out that because there was another banquet in the palace and King Beiyue was coming to pay homage, the queen called the entire Liu Shang Bureau and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Fengyi Palace, and went up to the palace and down to Sasu's female history officer.
The news spread really fast. When Wen Shao came out of Zhaoyuan Hall, the Queen used this excuse to call him away.
This was intentional to drive away these people. After a while, she sent the people from Shang Fu and Si Shishi out. After a while, the queen called them away.
"These killers appear to be gangsters, but in fact they are well-drilled soldiers."
Seeing Chu Yunjing's doubts, after she asked the two eunuchs to go ahead with Qian Guanguan, Zhou Yang opened his mouth to dispel her doubts.
These words further confirmed her suspicion that King Huai was training private soldiers and used these elite soldiers to enter the palace to assassinate Chu Yunjing.
The methods of these killers are not sloppy, and they use all their strength to kill. It is probably these people who did it in Yue'er's house. They were able to transport the corpse out of the house without concealment. Presumably the corpse in the courtyard of the Shangfu Bureau will also be transported in this way.
go out.
Even if she went to report it, she wouldn't get any evidence.
Sure enough, the magpie was made to commit suicide. When it was discovered, a shuttle from a loom was inserted into the magpie's belly, covering up the traces of being stabbed by a sharp blade.
Reports came from outside the palace that the people who were guarding the butcher's house saw that the butcher's family had not opened for business in the morning, so they went in suspiciously. As a result, the family disappeared out of thin air. The people who had been watching for several days did not see anyone leaving.
He disappeared out of thin air again, was killed and then the body was quietly carried away.
The Heavenly Sage decreed that the draft be postponed for two months, and the palace was preparing for a banquet for King Beiyue's homage in one month. From now on, she would have to work on the state banquet.
This time, Chu Yunjing was not designated to host the banquet. The queen took the lead and called the palace officials to Fengyi Palace to tell the world that the banquet would be hosted by the queen herself.
As the mother of the country, women in the world set an example. Even if they don't have the Phoenix Seal, they still have this right.
People's hearts! They have always been a loser. After Yue'er and Magpie committed suicide, Chu Yunjing was charged with the crime of not clearing up the case and disregarding human life. The wind in the palace turned towards the queen again.
The Qing Dynasty will purge itself. She didn't want to defend herself at all. She spread her hands and said, "If those people want to be manipulated by the Queen and have their families slaughtered, then they can just go and curry favor."
She admitted in her heart that she was indeed speaking out of anger, and then thought that instead of just waiting for death, she might as well take the initiative and go to meet the Queen in person.
I believe that the quarrel between the Queen and King Huai was not groundless. Could it be that they were planning something else and were just waiting for the right time to strike?
She took a packet of poison taken from the dead man's mouth, put it in a palm-sized transparent glass bottle, held the shelf, and went to visit Fengyi Palace.
After getting the message, she was not kept waiting too long this time. Aunt Cui led her to the Buddhist hall.
The Buddhist hall of Fengyi Palace is quite grand, enshrining about seven or eight statues of Buddha, Bodhisattva, etc. Each statue has its own altar, surrounded by yellow cloth curtains and specially sculpted golden cassocks. Under the seat of the Bodhisattva is
The white marble rosette and the two boys are also made of jade.
The Buddhist hall is made of old sandalwood, which is extremely precious. The Buddhist altar is covered with beams and pillars carved with phoenixes.
These carved and painted buildings did not shock her, after all, there were many such scenes in the palace.
What shocked her was that the queen had done all the bad things and had her hands full of blood, yet she could worship Buddha here with peace of mind!??
Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will strike her to death with thunder?
The solemn back figure of this dark-colored woman wearing plain clothes and no makeup, kneeling on the futon, really looks like the kind and kind person she once was.
What a pity! Chu Yunjing will never believe it again.
Others may worship Buddha for their inner desires, but the Queen has no good intentions in her heart when worshiping Buddha. What she worships is evil!
Infinite evil in my heart!
"Is the Queen really not afraid that the gods in the sky will see everything she does?" Chu Yunjing said, breaking the silence of the Buddhist hall.
At this time, the queen stopped twisting the beads in her hand, opened her eyes and looked directly at the Buddha in front of her.
The beads in his hand were pushed open, and with a little force, the half-human-length bodhi beads that were originally wrapped between his hands jumped out instantly, and 108 white jade bodhi beads were scattered on the ground.
Chu Yunjing looked at the beads scattered on the floor, and carefully stared at the queen's back. When the last bead stopped, Aunt Cui helped the queen up.
The queen raised her eyebrows and squinted at her. She walked towards her with an arrogant attitude. She stopped five steps away from her and opened her right hand without caring. The three remaining beads fell from the queen's hand and appeared one after another.
The sound of hitting the ground.
"It's all fake, everything is fake, why should you be afraid of these fake things." The queen said leisurely. Judging from her full appearance in the middle period, her previous illness must have been fake.
The purpose of breaking the beads was to prove that she was never afraid of these things. She was just doing it to show the world and pretending to be a virtuous queen. Chu Yunjing believed that the queen must have never worshiped her devoutly in her heart.
"People are fake, so naturally everything is fake." She looked directly at the queen and sarcastically said.
If there is reverence in the heart, everything is real; if there is no reverence in the heart, everything is false...
The queen smiled sinisterly: "Well... you are right, so you deserve to die!"
"I like to decide people's lives so much, but I am the one you can't kill!"
She said with great confidence, but the queen just looked at her proudly, then picked up the rosary beads that Aunt Cui handed over again, returned to the futon and continued to kneel and recite the Buddha's name.
"My Majesty, I thought that the overall situation was in your hands, but have you ever thought about it? What does it mean that there is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world! I will return these thirty dead servants to you. I hope that the Queen, with her hands full of blood, will have the last laugh!"
After that, she put the transparent glass bottle containing the poison on the nearest table beside her and left...
