A maidservant has died, and now there is only one maidservant following with a lantern.
Zi Yan came to the attic yard, looked vigilantly, and snatched the lantern from the maidservant's hand, "Go outside and watch out for me, and meow like a cat when someone comes. You are not allowed to come in without my summons. You know Yet?"
The servant girl agreed, walked out of the attic door, and sat on a stone bench to protect herself from the wind.
Ziyan hung the lantern on a cedar tree, found a small shovel, turned over the water to grind the bricks, and dug down the soil. With a bang, the shovel hit a hard object, and when she dug it up, it turned out to be the lacquered wooden box.
Ziyan opened the box and took out the female puppet inside, "Rong Chang'an, you provoked me first! This time I made you die for no reason!"
Ziyan took out a sewing kit from her pocket, took out an embroidery needle from it, pointed it at the heart of Rong Chang'an puppet, and stabbed it in. Feeling puzzled after being pricked, I turned the needle around again. Three embroidery needles were tied back and forth.
"These three embroidery needles are enough to make you die of heartache! Hmph!"
After reading a prayer, Zi Yan put the puppet back into the box, buried the box, and covered it with terracotta bricks. Afraid of being discovered, she took a broom and swept over the terracotta bricks, trying to make it invisible to others.
Walking out of the attic, he asked the servant girl, "Did anyone pass by here just now?"
The servant girl replied: "No one has ever passed by."
Zi Yan evoked a smug smile: "That's good, let's go back to the palace!"
After handing the lantern to the servant girl, the master and the servant returned to Fengwu Palace.
…
At night, the General's Mansion was already dimly lit, only two lanterns hung high on the front door.
On the dark and quiet street, suddenly a black figure ran quickly, with blazing eyes, holding a big knife in his hand, the knife was cold in the dark night.
The man looked around vigilantly in front of the gate of the general's mansion, and found no one following him. His nervous eyes relaxed, and he tiptoed, like a big bird soaring with wings, suddenly flew into the mansion, quickly Disappeared.
It wasn't long before the man entered the general's mansion, the servant guarding the gate rushed across the yard in a panic and came to the general's dormitory.
He wanted to knock on the door, but he was afraid that the people inside would blame him, so he endured it, so he stood outside the door and shouted: "General, get up soon, the emperor is here!"
A bright light was lit in the room, and it was Song Qiang, the owner of the general's mansion, who opened the door. He was wearing a white beige, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked angrily, "What's the matter? What a big fuss at night."
The servant repeated what he said just now: "General, go to the gate to greet him, the emperor is here!"
Song Qiang's eyeballs must be fixed, and the muscles on his face twitched: "Why is the emperor here?"
The servant said: "How do I know! The general should hurry to meet him."
Song Qiang snorted and tugged at the corners of his mouth: "This stupid lord put General Rong under house arrest in Fengming Palace, so I neglected him, so what can he do!"
Song Qiang closed the door again, slowly changed into casual clothes, held his head high, followed the servants to the outside of the gate, and knelt down by the dismounting stone.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
On the shunting car, Yan Li flashed his dragon eyes, took a sharp look at Song Qiang, and said with a shallow smile: "General Song, it's really hard work for you to come out to pick up the driver at night!"
Song Qiang said: "Whatever the hard work is! If you feel unhappy, you have to come out to pick you up!"
The words were very disrespectful, and the eunuch couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Song Qiang, the emperor is here, and you come to greet him as a courtier. I can punish your sin!"
Song Qiang's words were very strong: "If you punish the crime, you will punish the crime. Anyway, you will die."
Yan Li was not angry, and said with a smile: "On the battlefield, a bloody man like General Song is needed. The negligence just now is fine. Song Qiang, do you know why I came to the General's mansion so late? ?"
Song Qiang answered quite straightforwardly: "I don't know!"
Yan Li smiled coldly: "Song Qiang, you really don't know anything about what happened just now?"
Song Qiang trembled slightly, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "I don't know what the emperor said."
Yan Li said sharply, "You know what I'm talking about..."
At this time, the eyes of the monarch and his ministers were facing each other, Song Qiang felt a little unsure, and then lowered his head.
Yan Li walked down alone to chase the car, passed by Song Qiang, "Come with me."
Yan Li walked into the general's mansion, and the personal eunuch also wanted to follow.
"You guys are waiting outside. I have some thoughtful things to say to General Song alone."
Song Qiang got up and muttered, "Let's talk, let's talk, I'm afraid you won't succeed!"
At most, it is a death, and eighteen years later it will be a hero again.
The eunuch was afraid that something would happen to Yan Li, so he secretly ordered the guards: "As long as there is any abnormality in a while, you will rush into the general's mansion to save the emperor, regardless of the personality of the general's mansion!"
The guards bent their bows and set arrows, those who drew their swords drew their swords, and those who grasped their knives grasped their knives, gearing up for a fierce fight.
boom! The gate was closed suddenly, and the eunuch was anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, hurry up!"
Just as the guards were about to attack the door, they only heard Yan Li's cold voice from the gate, "I'm fine, no one is allowed in without my order!"
Yan Li went straight to Song Qiang's sleeping room. His eyes seemed to be the ancient god Candle Dragon, and he could see all the secrets in the room.
Song Qiang stood outside the threshold, his eyes were full of vigilance, and behind the vigilance was a quietly burning anger, "Your Majesty, what do you want to talk about?"
Yan Li turned his back to Song Qiang, and folded his hands behind his back.
Before coming, he deliberately changed the yellow robe, and only wore a white shirt with a wide robe and long sleeves. It was not solemn and lofty, but it was graceful and elegant, with a sense of intimacy.
It seemed like a long time before Yan Li said: "I'll ask you again, you really don't know what happened tonight?" His words were very soft, as if two brothers were talking about each other.
And Yan Li deliberately didn't use "zhen" to refer to himself, but also wanted to shorten the distance between him and Song Qiang.
After being silent for a while, Song Qiang finally said: "I really don't know what the emperor wants to ask me."
Yan Li smiled: "You are more loyal to Rong Chang'an than to me."
Song Qiang was taken aback for a moment, wondering if he knew about me
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, a gust of wind blew past Song Qiang, and he took a closer look, and Yan Li was no longer in front of him. And behind him, a big hand has already touched his back.
There was a rattling sound in the room.
Song Qiang wanted to fight back to stop him, but it was too late. On the one hand, Yan Li's attack was too fast, on the other hand, he did not expect that Yan Li would attack him suddenly.
"Your Majesty, do you want to..."
Yan Li pointed at his back and sneered, "Do you still want to argue?"
A long bloodstain was printed on Song Qiang's back.
The tough eyes slowly relaxed in Song Qiang's eyes at this moment.
"The guards guarding Fengwu Palace told me just now that the assassin's back was shaved. This is enough to explain everything!"
Song Qiang snorted angrily, and turned his face away: "I was the one who assassinated Ziyan, and I did it alone. General Rong has nothing to do with this matter. If you want to punish me, you can do whatever you want!"
Yan sighed lightly.
What puzzled Song Qiang was that Yan Li took off his clothes and put them on his body, "The wound is deep, be careful of infection."
Song Qiang's eyes turned from suspicion to surprise: "Yan Li, what do you want..."
Yan Li turned his back again, facing Xiao Ran's night outside the door.
"Think about it carefully. If I really wanted to punish you, would I meet you alone? I didn't come here to find you out, but to rescue you."
