Three points really hurt, seven points her acting skills, she really nailed it.
Opposite her, Qiulian was dumbfounded. No matter how hard she thought, she would never have imagined that Luo Jiuli would use such a trick to kill her.
Before she could recover, she was kicked out by a black shadow.
Bang!
puff!
The weak body slid out of a long trace on the snow, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the black man in front of him fainted!
A clear scent of agarwood spread, and Luo Jiuli's body was pulled into a broad embrace.
Luo Jiuli knew it was Xiao Mingxuan, so she leaned into his arms pretending to be dead, feeling his eagerness and the cold wind whistling in her ears, but she didn't have the guts to open her eyes.
She knew in her heart that Xiao Mingxuan must be angry with her at this moment.
Her clumsy methods can deceive others, but they will never deceive the eyes of the majestic God of War.
"Call to the doctor."
Xiao Mingxuan's voice was frighteningly cold, and his gloomy and angry face was covered with a thick layer of ice. He hugged Luo Jiuli and ran straight to the main courtyard.
"Cousin, how are you? Don't scare me."
It's Xing Xiyan's voice.
He came to Jiuwang Mansion today originally for the matter of Yilanxiang. He never thought that before he stepped into the palace, he would hear the news of Luo Jiuli's assassination before he saw her.
He ran over anxiously and saw Luo Jiuli being held in his cousin's arms. His face was pale, a dagger was stuck in his chest, and his clothes were soaked with bright red blood.
That appearance is as pathetic as you want, and as scary as you want.
Luo Jiuli was assassinated, and the entire Jiuwang Mansion suddenly became a mess.
Qin Wu was furious, holding Qiulian and pressing the person into the execution hall.
The housekeeper was so anxious that he almost dragged the old doctor into the main courtyard by running and crawling.
Nan Xing and Nan Zhu were also dumbfounded. These two honest children only thought that they were unable to protect their master, so they knelt outside the main courtyard to punish themselves.
When Xing Xiyan came out of the main room and saw Nan Xing Nan Zhu kneeling in the yard, he wondered:
"What are you two doing kneeling here?"
Nan Xing: "We failed to protect the Lord and deserve death."
"If you're going to die, why don't you go in and take care of your master? You're such a fool of a man."
Xing Xiyan rolled his eyes and walked out of the house.
Nan Zhu and Nan Xing looked at each other, suddenly stood up at the same time, and ran into the house.
The news of Luo Jiuli's assassination spread throughout the capital in less than half a cup of tea as Xing Xiyan left the palace.
In the palace, the emperor was still correcting the memorial in the imperial study. Outside the door, when Eunuch Qi heard the news for the first time, he was so frightened that he almost dropped the whisk in his hand.
If this matter had been someone else, he could have concealed it, but Luo Jiuli's identity was different. Not to mention that she was the favorite of the Ninth Prince, the future Ninth Princess, even the Emperor, also valued her very much.
What's more, the person who assassinated her was the maid whom the Empress Dowager sent to the Ninth Prince's Palace for guidance. When Ninth Prince wanted to send her back to the palace, the Emperor sent someone to stop her because he was afraid that he would be exposed to outsiders, so Ninth Prince gave up.
It's just that I never thought that the woman would have such evil intentions and assassinate Luo Jiuli, but her nature has become completely different.
"emperor."
Eunuch Qi entered the palace and did not deliberately hide the changes on his face.
"What's the matter?"
The emperor was so busy that he didn't even raise his head.
"Reporting to the Emperor, news came from outside the palace that Miss Luo Er of the Duke's Palace was assassinated in the Ninth Prince's Palace."
The emperor's finger holding the brush paused, and he suddenly looked up.
"What did you say? Luo Jiuli was assassinated in the Nine Princes' Mansion?"
Eunuch Qi nodded.
"The news spread outside the palace. The maid sent in by the Queen Mother stabbed Miss Luo Er with a dagger. The Ninth Prince was furious and arrested her."
The emperor put down his brush and looked out the door erratically. His expression changed from surprised to calm now. After a long time, he calmly opened another memorial.
"You, go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion in person immediately, and be sure to see Luo Jiuli with your own eyes."
Eunuch Qi was startled and immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's words.
"Yes, I will go right away."
Eunuch Qi did not dare to stay, so he walked out of the imperial study room with his feet raised.
At the same time, in Da Sima's mansion.
"Are you sure Luo Jiuli was stabbed?"
Da Sima Hu Jue sat steadily at the table of the Eight Immortals, holding his crutches in both hands, his eyes calm, seemingly untroubled.
On the ground, kneeling was a servant dressed as a servant.
"Returning to Da Sima, it is absolutely true that it was the girl named Qiulian who stabbed Luo Jiuli. The dagger penetrated her chest and blood flowed all over the floor. The Ninth Prince was furious, injured Qiulian and arrested her."
On the side, Hu Hongzhi and Mrs. Hu, who had received the exact news, looked at each other.
Especially Mrs. Hu's face was visibly filled with joy.
"This is really God opening his eyes, retribution, retribution is not good, then why didn't Qiulian girl kill her-"
"Shut up."
Hu Jue's voice was harsh and he scolded his daughter-in-law.
"What do you think is this a good thing?"
Hu Hongzhi also pulled his wife with a look on his face, and then waved to the servant.
"You go down first, and still send people to keep an eye on it. If there is any trouble, report it in time."
"yes."
The servants retreated, leaving only the father and son in the room.
"Father, what does father think about this matter?"
Hu Hongzhi does not have the short-sighted views of a woman like his wife.
Hu Jue raised his eyelids lightly, his face full of ridges and grooves, showing his rich life experience.
"This incident is very unusual. It seems that Luo Jiuli was injured, but in fact it is extremely detrimental to the Queen Mother and our Grand Sima Mansion."
Hu Hongzhi nodded.
"The son has the same ideas as the father."
"Luo Jiuli's identity is different, so she can no longer be viewed with ordinary eyes."
"What's more, Duke Yiguo is about to return to Beijing, and the envoy from Sangnan Kingdom is already halfway there. The Ninth Prince is going to the Duke's mansion to propose marriage. At this time, she was stabbed——"
Hu Hongzhi stopped what he was about to say, his eyes showing suspicion.
"Is it intentional? Or was it an accident?"
"The two maids whom the Empress Dowager sent to the Nine Princes' Mansion were sent to teach the palace. My son thought that the Empress Dowager would not have given them the task of assassinating Luo Jiuli."
"After all, entering a house to assassinate someone and inquiring about information are completely different in nature."
"Well, your analysis is correct."
Hu Jue nodded. Although he was old, his eyes were sharp and powerful.
"The Queen Mother used benevolence, justice, filial piety and the public opinion of the people to suppress the Nine Kings and had to accept the two nurturing palace maids. Even the Emperor told the Nine Kings not to keep telling the truth."
"I thought it would be a good move for those two to teach the palace maids, but now it seems that they were taken advantage of instead."
"What does father mean? This matter was done deliberately by Jiu Wang and Luo Jiuli--"
Hu Jue said coldly.
"Whether it was intentional or not, you will know once you find out."
Hu Hongzhi nodded.
"Yes, if she faked her injury, it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor."
