Chapter 1098 1098: Palace Change (Part 2) [Please vote]
The concubine who was the first to discover this was completely drained of blood.
He cast a frightened look at Mi.
In addition to her, the concubines who were close by also realized that something was wrong.
Immediately, I broke out in a cold sweat, and the muscles at the corners of my mouth trembled unnaturally. I swallowed hard, and it took a lot of concentration to suppress the scream that was approaching my throat: "...I just drank with the sisters, and forgot about it. It's not my fault that Binger has to rely on me at this point. Ah Chuan, go to the side hall and see if Binger is making trouble. Don't let this willful little devil hurt his limbs..."
She tried her best to look normal, smiled and joked with the sisters, turned around, and told the accompanying maid to go to the side hall to check the situation, conveying the meaning that only the master and servant knew. The maid grew up with her, and they had a good rapport. The surrounding concubines also secretly paid attention to her development, and nervously squeezed the veil.
The maid got up and went to the side hall.
A few people were about to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ah——"
The sudden change occurred the moment the maid stepped through the palace door with one foot. She heard a short and sharp scream, and a column of bright red blood spurted out from the wound in front of her. out. The maid's body leaned back following the force of the attack, and her entire upper body was split into two pieces, with only a little flesh still connected. A pile of damaged organs lost the restraint of the skin and flowed out along the wound.
Warm blood pooled under the maid's body, and she fell into a pool of blood with a look of extreme horror on her delicate face.
There are endless silk and bamboo orchestral music in the hall.
Most of the girls did not notice what happened at the palace gate.
It wasn't until a few screams were too sharp and another person started to slap the table that the commotion became louder and the musicians were so frightened that they stopped playing. Everyone looked at the person who stood up from the table. At this glance, they noticed the body of the maid lying at the door of the palace.
The almost detached death state of the corpse shocked their eyes.
Except for a few of the people here who come from relatively humble backgrounds, most of them are from good families. Quite a few of them were raised in boudoir mansions when they were young, and after they grew up, they became canaries in Wu Xian's backyard! The wind and rain of troubled times are blocked outside the courtyard wall, and there are few opportunities to face bloody scenes. But this doesn't mean that they will be frightened by a corpse, even if someone asks.
The person who asked the crime was asked: "What happened?"
The other party looked at Mi with suppressed anger. She was too lazy to maintain the false peace and asked loudly: "What happened? This question You shouldn’t ask me, I should ask you! Mi, what is your intention today? Why did you send someone to kill my maid?”
In extreme anger, you didn’t even use the honorific.
Ms. Mi showed no sign of being offended, nor did she feel guilty about being caught. She was still as gentle as water that everyone was familiar with, but her words made people shudder: "Ah? So she is my sister's maid. , that was really a misunderstanding, and it’s her fault for being so weird. Zui, I was misunderstood as an assassin. As you sisters know, the country is in turmoil right now, the king is in jail, and there are countless pairs of malicious eyes in the darkness. I am also worried that the villain will harm the youngest son in the palace, so I have to Be alert.”
Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this excuse.
The maid was a son of a family who had served concubines since she was a child. She was later promoted to a first-class maid and entered Wu Xian's inner house as a dowry. On weekdays, when the sisters visit each other, she always follows her master, and she looks familiar every time she goes there. Not only her, but also the concubines who are well-known and favored, all the concubines around her are unlikely to be mistaken for the villain!
This is not manslaughter at all, it is clearly murder!
Ms. Mi has been holding the power of the inner court for these years and is familiar with the people in the palace. How could she not know the eldest maid next to her concubines?
This is absolutely telling lies with open eyes!
"Ms. Mi, what nonsense are you talking about!"
This response obviously did not satisfy the victimized concubine.
She was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She moved so much that she messed up Yun Zhucui on her temples. Her anger was still rising: "I just asked her to go to the side hall to see Bian'er. Where did the ghost come from? Why are you being sneaky? Is he so vicious and so cruel in public? I really misjudged you. I am really a barking dog that can’t bite people. One bite will kill someone!”
She usually underestimates Mi.
Even if Wu Xian arranged for her to be plated with gold in Xu Jie's mansion for the sake of good looks, and assumed the status of an orphaned daughter of a distant relative of the Xu family, the Mi family was not too hated. Firstly, she was born in a humble background and was a dancing girl; secondly, Mi was timid and timid, so soft-tempered that she had almost no temper, and could only be gentle and petty; thirdly, Mi was not the most favored woman, and Wu Xian was in the Mi family The favor here only accounts for 20% at most, and she often persuades Wu Xian to take advantage of it.
Especially after Wu Xian founded the country, Mi helped the queen manage the inner court. Every time Wu Xian came to the inner court to rest, she would arrange it well, even for the most unfavored concubines. Wu Xian's descendants have also experienced a blowout in recent years.
Nearly every woman in the inner court has one or more children.
Mi is generous and fair, and everyone admires her.
As time goes by, even those who dislike Mi will have to admit that Mi has done a more competent job than the queen and queen in recent years. It’s not that the first queen suppressed any woman, or that she murdered any child, but that Mi was more humane than the first queen... If Mi didn’t have enough family power to back her up, she would have been Wu Xianli’s only successor. Selected.
I admit it, but I still look down on it.
The concubine who was victimized this time was one of them.
Looking down on Mi, he fell in love with her and got pregnant twice.
Mi said: "You drank too much, so wake up at the bar."
It was an understatement, but it made people feel frightened.
"Mishi——"
"Didn't any of the waiters see it? You ladies are drunk now! You've started talking nonsense!" Mrs. Mi pressed the cup in her hand heavily on the table, making a muffled sound when it touched the velvet cloth. "If it disturbs the nobles here, Your lives are not enough to compensate!”
“Mi, what did you do to Wei’er!”
This question made everyone’s hearts hang.
Everyone here is not a brainless person. As soon as they saw this posture, they guessed that today's situation was not going to be fatal and a maid could stop it. Then they thought that it was quiet in the side hall, and the concubines who came to the banquet with their children were so frightened that they Rong was pale, and countless bloody pictures were passing through his mind like a horse. Each frame showed severed limbs and arms lying in a pool of blood, as well as a child's head with the facial features of their children!
Mi: "Bian'er is very good and was coaxed to sleep by her wet nurse."
Her voice was still gentle and soft.
The next sentence changed, and the words he spat out were like venomous snakes crawling on the backs and necks of the girls, crawling to their ears and spitting out snake messages: "However, if you are still drunk and crazy and refuse to sober up, Wei'er will It’s not just about drinking some soothing soup and having a good night’s sleep.”
The implication is that it’s also about having a good night’s sleep.
In the hall, you can hear a needle drop.
The concubine who was relatively close to the palace gate noticed that many guards were reflected outside the window, which was far beyond the scale that should be used to guard a palace. Judging from the figures, they are all wearing armor and carrying soldiers, wearing strong weapons and weapons, and are fully armed! This is a Hongmen Banquet!
"Mrs. Mi, what are you doing?"
The concubine sitting closest to Mi asked.
Ms. Mi said, "Please gather all the sisters in the hall for a night."
After saying that, she smiled and clapped her hands.
Order the musicians to continue playing.
Two burly and muscular warrior guards also quietly came in, and one half of them carried away the body of the maid, and the hanging organs left dirty traces on the ground. Several people who witnessed this scene had their throats spasmed, and the strong desire to vomit continued.
“Get together for a night? Do you want to rebel and wash the palace with blood?”
“It doesn’t have to be a bloodbath.” Mi still smiled gently and harmlessly, “Sisters, you don’t know the customs. "It takes hundreds of jars of water for these people to clean a palace."
Even if all the blood here is drained, it won't be enough to clean it. Although it was a joke, no one laughed.
Mi, she is really determined to kill everyone.
The window reflects the shadow of a person.
They were like beasts ready to attack, looking directly at their vital points with greedy eyes. At any time, they would stretch out their sharp claws to break open the sternum, take out the heart, tear open the flesh, and feast on them.
The concubine who was choked first glanced sideways at Mi, then suddenly stood up and exploded, grabbing a delicate porcelain plate and breaking it into pieces, then picked up the largest and sharpest fragment and pointed it at Mi. A series of actions could not hide her nobility. Her red lips were slightly parted, her beautiful eyes full of sarcasm, and she looked directly into Mi's eyes: "Haha, it's enough to make do with it and save the people below. I just don't know if Mrs. Mi has the courage? Do you dare? Slaughter all of us here with a knife, and kill all of the king’s blood! Mi, do you dare?”
Her anger burst out from her chest!
"The fox pretends to be the tiger's power!"
"It's a bluff!"
"Mi, I bet you don't dare!"
Mi is not brave even if she thinks about it with her toes.
Which one of you here does not have a roundabout relationship with the ministers of the foreign court?
Either the daughter or sister of this family, or the distant in-law of that family, or if not, someone else’s adopted daughter or someone’s adopted sister!
What is the difference between really killing everyone present and all the children they gave birth to and completely breaking with the foreign court of Gao? Still want to escape unscathed? Don’t you really think that by killing all the descendants of Wu Xian who are not descendants of the Mi family, the position of leader of the country will fall to her son?
The heir who is not recognized by civil and military officials is nothing!
They can even deny Mi's son's bloodline from the bottom up, arrange several lovers for Mi, and then ask the lovers to give perjury. As long as everyone says that these lovers were in Mi's dancing period, then it will be fine. They have been inseparable and even cuckolded Wu Xian. Who can prove that Mi's son is Wu Xian's son?
Let Wu Xian fly back from Kangguo camp to prove it?
Or some ridiculous blood test?
No, what matters is not the truth!
The important thing is that Mi and her son will die miserably!
For a time, the atmosphere was tense and tense to the critical point.
Everyone is waiting for Mi's reaction.
Unexpectedly, she just smiled.
The laughter ranged from light to heavy, from small to loud, and even had a bit of madness and indulgence. From a close distance, you could still see the rolling dots of her eyes. She burst into tears laughing. It took a long time for Mi to stop. She dabbed the water stains at the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said with her cheeks sore and swollen: "You don't dare to bet? Do you know what gambling is? It's not just opening your mouth and holding a piece of it." Sharp fragments are considered gambling. If a real gambler goes to the gambling table, who doesn't put his hands and feet on it? "
There are too many such gamblers among the people.
After Mi finished speaking, she pulled out the sword hidden under the table in a panic, and approached the opponent step by step, but the opponent was retreating steadily.
“Don’t even think about coming down intact when you go to the gambling table!” Mi, who looked fragile, was holding the sword extremely steadily at this moment. The older concubine recalled a certain detail at an inappropriate time. Mi was relying on Wu Xian caught the eye of Wu Xian as she danced with a sword while playing drums. She held the sword firmly, "It's just one life. Do you really think it's a bargaining chip? How do you know that I can't afford to gamble or lose?"
It's not that he is ruthless enough to kill everyone, nor is he afraid of death.
As early as the fourth son told her that she would risk her life for a "collapse", when the second son told her that she could understand the fourth brother, and when she realized that she didn't understand her own flesh and blood at all, she didn't care about anything. . These children are the spiritual support that has sustained her through these years and are the whole world for her.
When her spiritual pillar collapsed, her world completely collapsed!
If her flesh and blood are dead, what’s the point of living for her?
Kill all these people, and she will be torn apart by the angry ministers tomorrow; if she doesn't kill, her son can fulfill his long-cherished wish, but - what happens after doing so? How many of them, mother and son, can withstand Kang Guo's cavalry? Can it stop the demise of Gaoguo? Nothing can be done!
The final outcome is death.
The ending was doomed the moment her son became ambitious!
The difference is only in morning and evening!
So——
Mi looked at the snow-white Hibiscus face on the edge of the sword, smiling as softly as ever: "Are you shaking?"
Bang!
The pieces of the porcelain plate in the concubine's hand fell to the ground and exploded into three pieces.
Mi lowered her eyes and held on for a few breaths before taking back her sword.
"Musicians, keep playing!"
The palace that had been quiet for a long time once again sounded elegant music.
However, this time there was no excitement of changing cups and cups. Instead, there was only panic and inability to eat, worrying about one's own situation and the whereabouts of the children. No one dared to act rashly, and they could only endure it while sitting stiffly, especially since they could clearly feel the ground shaking from time to time, metal collisions mixed with shouts of death, sometimes far away, sometimes close, and several firelights reflected outside the window...< br>
They recognized that this was a confrontation between warriors.
This is the inner court, but the sounds of fighting can be heard.
Everyone clearly expected what happened at this moment.
“It’s a palace coup, there are rebels who want to seize the palace!”
Mi spoke abruptly and gave the answer.
One doubt is solved, and another confusion arises.
Who is the rebel mentioned by Mi?
The concubine, whose child has grown up or is close to adulthood, closes her eyes in despair, praying in her heart that the child is not her own. They did not blame their children for doing this, but they were worried that if they met the well-prepared Mi family, they would have little chance of winning and their lives would be in vain.
The answer came to fruition very quickly.
The minister who was about to receive the news rushed over and was stopped by the imperial army.
"My lords, please rest assured, the traitor has been captured!"
"Who is the traitor?"
The Forbidden Army has obviously been told: "It is the Fifth Young Master. ”
The fifth son who supervises the country bribed the guards in the outer court, but when he entered the inner court, he was stopped by the loyal people, and the two sides started a fierce conflict. As soon as the ministers heard this, they knew what the fifth prince was going to do. They wanted to take the lead and kill the young prince who was about to succeed him before the morning court meeting! With such explosive palace secrets, he even lost his face to kill his younger brother to seize the throne.
The minister was worried and asked: "What about the fifth young master?"
The imperial army said: "He has been captured, and the inner court is safe."
The fifth young master caught everyone by surprise, and the others were thoughtful or prepared. The brothers who took action were shocked!
Because there was no news from the inner court, they thought that the reason why the rebellion was put down so quickly was definitely because of the backhand left by their old father Wu Xian! Lao Wu is trying to scare the snake, but if he takes action again, he is seeking death.
No matter how unwilling I am, I can only endure it.
Just endure the night.
