Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 860 Murder and Silence

Zhao Xiwei fell ill.

As the sun sets, the room becomes colder and the ground is filled with moisture.

Because of her special status, Zhao Xiwei was placed in a quiet room alone - the Tingwei Mansion was considerate and even locked her maids in too. After all, she was once a princess, even if she was a guilty person, Nor can we lose our royal decency.

Four more jailers were arranged to take turns guarding day and night, and no mistakes were allowed.

At this time, Jinxiu knelt at the door and begged the jailer: "Sir, please do well. Our young lady has a severe fever. If we continue like this, someone will die!"

The jailer pulled out his arm and said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, this is an order from above!"

Jinxiu became anxious and grabbed the hem of his clothes again: "Sir!"

The jailer was like a snake and a scorpion: "Girl, I have no control over this matter!"

"...but our lady is about to die! She has been in a coma for a day!" Jinxiu was on the verge of collapse. She crawled a few steps on her knees, raised her head and begged: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, please do it." Okay, please be accommodating for us. Please tell Mr. Tingwei that our lady is seriously ill and needs some antipyretic medicine——"

She squeezed the palms of her hands hard, forcing out a series of tears, and bowed her head: "Sir, this slave is kowtowing to you. Please, please do it!"

As he spoke, his forehead touched the ground, making a clanging sound: "Even if you can't inform the superiors, please get us some medicine! No, even bring us some cold water! Cold water is fine! Cold water is fine too! Please! Please have mercy...please!"

Jinxiu was handsome, and when he saw blood seeping out of her white and tender forehead, the jailer finally felt a little soft and said: "Girl, unless I refuse to save you, I really can't leave! Leaving the guard without permission is a serious crime!"

Jinxiu gritted her teeth.

She straightened up, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes, she took two steps back, and then - slammed into the wall!

"Ah! Girl!" The jailer had quick eyes and quick hands. He hurriedly tried to stop her, but caught the cold wind in his hand. The next moment, there was a sharp and angry shout: "You are so outrageous! Get it!"

Two figures jumped out and rushed into the room.

"Plop!" With a muffled sound, Jinxiu's shoulders were cut off and she was pushed to the ground.

The jailer only glanced at the visitor and immediately knelt down: "Master Qin!"

The one who came was Tingwei Youping, Qin Shi.

He kicked the jailer with one kick: "Why do you want to beg me for something you can't see? Why don't you apologize to Miss Gu!"

The jailer and Jinxiu both raised their heads and saw the red clothes in front of them, like fire, bright and unparalleled.

Qin Shi and Gu Yuci exchanged glances, and waved their hands to signal the guards to let go.

Jinxiu looked at the two of them warily, her mind spinning rapidly - her young lady was so seriously ill that the news could not be sent out and the reinforcements could not come in. However, at this critical moment of life and death, Gu Yuci was waiting!

Gu Yuci...what is she here for? !

After a while, several chamberlains came in. They greeted him slightly and walked straight to the bed.

Jinxiu flew up and rushed to protect the head of the bed to prevent these people from approaching: "What are you going to do?!" She glanced at the unconscious Zhao Xiwei, then looked at Gu Yuci: "Miss Gu! What do you want? What to do?”

Gu Yuci laughed and didn't bother to answer.

Somehow, a sudden fear suddenly arose, and Jinxiu shuddered.

"Miss Gu, do you want to kill us??"

She stretched out her arms and blocked the head of the bed: "I won't let you succeed! As long as I still have breath, I won't let you lay a finger on our lady!"

Her upper and lower teeth were chattering, but she braced herself up and shouted in a trembling but very high-pitched voice: "Miss Gu, I know you hate our lady! But our lady is no longer the princess! She is She is no longer the princess! She is no longer a threat to you!"

The fear of death made her body tremble, and her fingers unconsciously grasped the edge of the bed. She was very scared, and she was afraid of dying in the cell for no apparent reason.

After working as a maid for so many years, I finally found a lenient master. I also looked forward to earning my freedom one day. I didn’t expect that I would die so soon!

This fear gave her inexplicable courage: "If you want to kill our lady, you have to step over my body!"

Qin Shi shouted: "Where did you come from, this naughty slave! Drag him down!"

Jinxiu screamed and struggled: "But our lady has not been convicted yet! Aren't there still going to be trials in the Tingwei Mansion? If she died like this, wouldn't your superiors hold you accountable? This case concerns the Queen. If she dies without any evidence, Your Majesty will let you go. Will the prince let you go?"

Seeing Gu Yuci's expression change, Jinxiu immediately shouted: "Miss Gu, you have to know that if our young lady dies, then His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be suspicious of you!"

Qin Shi interrupted her and said, "Gag her mouth! Drag her down and beat her! Beat her until she can't scream anymore!"

Immediately, several guards rushed up, and Gu Yuci suddenly raised his hand.

"Wait a minute!" She finally looked at Jinxiu, her expression seemed a bit playful: "You are brave. Did you just say that if Zhao Xiwei dies, the prince will be suspicious of me?"

"Yes." Jinxiu was being held in custody, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "If you kill our young lady, then our young lady's crime will fall on you! There is no proof, why does the prince suspect you? You can't prove it yourself. , Therefore, only by keeping our lady alive can you get what you want!"

"Not bad!" Gu Yuci raised his eyebrows, his peach blossom eyes sparkling like waves, and a bright smile appeared on his face, "Then, Zhao Xiwei really can't be killed!"

Qin Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "This is naturally the best, otherwise it would be difficult for the lower officials to explain."

Gu Yuci pursed her lips and smiled, raised her hands, high-fived and smiled: "Since we can't let her die, then let her live a life worse than death! Someone come!"

"Miss Gu!" Jinxiu's pupils dilated, "You have got what you want, why are you still unwilling to let our lady go?" She threw herself on Zhao Xiwei, looking at the red face, tears of anger burst into her eyes. : "Our lady is already a guilty person! She has no intention of competing with you for the position of Crown Princess! Why do you still insist on killing them all?! Why can't you let her go!"

"Let her go?" Gu Yuci flicked his sleeves and said with a sarcastic smile: "You are so sharp-tongued, don't you know that to cut the weeds, you have to get rid of the roots? A dead enemy is the best enemy!"

Tears burst out, and Jinxiu cursed angrily: "Gu Yuci, you are so despicable and vicious, no wonder you can't win the heart of His Royal Highness! No wonder he hasn't liked you for so many years! He thought that by killing our lady, you can get it. His Highness's favor? His Highness only likes you if he is blind!"

Qin Shihan's face turned cold and he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly block her mouth! Don't dirty Miss Gu's ears!"

"No offense!" Gu Yuci smiled.

She walked slowly towards the bed, glanced at the unconscious Zhao Xiwei, and said disdainfully: "There are just as many stupid maids as there are stupid masters!"
