The blood flowed to the ground and formed a puddle, and in my ears I could hear the wailing sounds of the palace maids, painful and depressing.
Qing Jiu just stood there without wearing shoes, her shiny white ankles stained with the man's blood, and even a few drops splashed on her insteps, like poppies that bloomed inexplicably, the poison that penetrated to the bones was inexplicable.
Cold.
Her expression was too calm, which made people uneasy.
Zhu Chi stood aside, also worried.
The emperor left the palace and has not come back yet. But after such a thing happened, he could not stay in the imperial study room, so he could only sigh and said, "Miss Third, we are here to tell you that this maid belongs to your palace."
, although she was bitten to death by Xue Er, she was the one who suddenly went crazy and wanted to attack Xue Er. So, this is the only way."
After saying that, seeing that Qing Jiu still didn't make a sound, he shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and left together with the imperial guards.
After Zhu Chi left, the suppressed crying in Huayin Hall became clearer.
Qing Jiu slowly squatted down, her small body next to the white cloth. She stepped forward to lift the white cloth, but was stopped by the palace maid.
"Third Miss, you...you better stop reading. Nian'er died very...I'm afraid it will scare Third Miss."
Qing Jiu didn't say anything, just brushed her hand away quietly.
She obviously didn't make any movement, but she brushed her hand away lightly.
The maid was startled by her gloomy expression.
He took a step back in fear.
Qing Jiu opened the white cloth and revealed Nian'er's face. Her face was still wrapped with white gauze. Xiao Qi said that her face had recovered well, so there should be no scars. Nian'er was very happy at that time.
, thanked her a thousand times, and her eyes were shining. She was so happy, even she was infected with her joy at that time.
Yes, how happy she was then, how ironic she feels now.
In just one night, people who were alive the day before turned into cold corpses today.
Her neck was almost completely bitten off, and blood flowed out from the broken area, like tears she shed.
She reached out her little hand and slowly touched her face.
The voice was very soft and childish, "...Nian'er, it hurts a lot."
It must have been very painful when she died.
As soon as she said this, so softly, yet so sad, everyone in the Huayin Hall couldn't help but look away, with tears rolling in their eyes.
When Xiao Qi heard the news and rushed to Huayin Hall, he saw this scene.
The child squatted quietly in the puddle of blood, her white coat dyed red. When she heard the movement, she quietly raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly. Her eyes were dark, so dark.
For a moment, he even felt hatred.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking that he must have seen it wrong.
He walked over and the child lowered his head again.
Xiao Qi knelt down beside her and reached out to touch her head, but Qing Jiu turned aside and dodged.
"Li'er?"
Xiao Qi sighed helplessly, "There is no resurrection after death."
"Can't people be resurrected after death?" Qing Jiu snorted inexplicably.
Xiao Qi's heart was inexplicably tightened by the sarcasm on her lips, "Li'er, don't be like this, this expression doesn't suit you."
"Then what expression is suitable?"
Qing Jiu murmured quietly, her cold fingers sliding over Nian'er's cold body.
She thought that she could protect her, even if Mu Yan'er didn't dare to do anything in the palace, but she didn't expect that she was merciful, but still made Nian'er attack her vicious hands. She was bitten by Xue Er
?She thought she would believe? How could Nian'er suddenly attack Xue Er for no reason?
Ordinary people would have no time to hide when they see a leopard, so how could the timid Nian'er run past it?
She lowered her head, rubbed the blood on Nian'er's body with her fingertips, put it between her nose and sniffed it silently, and laughed softly when she smelled the remaining components in her blood.
The voice was too childish and weird, which made Xiao Qi frown inexplicably.
The next moment, he suddenly saw the child standing up and walking back to the inner hall. He thought she had figured it out. He was about to stand up, but was stunned when he saw what she was holding.
She held a dagger in her palm, cutting iron like clay.
Holding a delicate small bottle in his other hand, he walked back to Nian'er's body, raised one of her hands, separated her wrist, and poured the dripping blood into it bit by bit.
into the bottle.
Xiao Qi frowned and watched this scene.
"Li'er, you..."
After everything was done, the child slowly raised his head and gave him a big smile.
Clear and pure, if her body wasn't covered in blood.
The next moment, I just heard her say: "Some debts need to be paid with blood."
She stood up, held the small bottle tightly, and was about to walk out, but when she passed by Xiao Qi, she was picked up by him. His face still showed a strange paleness, even with a sigh.
, "Li'er..."
Qing Jiu thought he was trying to stop her.
After he called out the name, he didn't speak anymore. Instead, he slowly took the embroidered shoes handed over by the palace maid, squatted down, let her sit on his knees, and quietly put them on for her.
After doing all this, he hugged her and said, "Tell me where you want to go."
"..."
Qing Jiu stared at him blankly. The tenderness he lowered his head just now was so sudden that she didn't even expect it.
But thinking of the deception hidden under his handsome face, she raised her lips and showed a big smile: "Okay..."
But when the surrounding palace maids saw this smile, they inexplicably felt a sinister wind blowing around them.
…
When Xiao Qi carried Qing Jiu into the Lanyue Palace, Xiao Yuyan was changing the medicine on Mu Yan'er's face.
Her face was only red and swollen, and the injury was not serious.
After one night, I was mostly healed.
Qing Jiu slowly looked at her face which was uncovered by gauze. It was as white as jade, but slightly swollen, but you couldn't tell it unless you looked carefully.
She squinted her eyes and looked at her face expressionlessly, which gave people a subtle sense of weirdness against her pink face.
When the two people in the palace saw Xiao Qi, they hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty Jin'an (May you be blessed)."
Xiao Qi didn't say anything, but Qing Jiu said for him: "Jin An? How can you be so calm in front of Nian'er's miserable body?"
The sarcasm in her words was so strong that Mu Yan'er's body froze when she heard it, but she thought of something and calmed down again. She raised her head and looked at Qing Jiu in surprise and innocence, "What did Miss Third say? What kind of corpse?"
