The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 32 Replacement (2)

In the middle of the night, the second elder brother's dormitory suddenly turned on the lights, and a tall guard opened the paper window in the hall, and leaped in from the outside, all in one go.This guard was dressed in a brown mandarin jacket, a red round cap on his head, and a badge on his waist with a scimitar attached. It was the standard imperial guard's attire.

"Second Elder Brother." The guard skillfully walked to Yinfeng's bed, knelt down on one knee and saluted him, very respectful.

Yinfeng sat on the couch without changing his face, as if he didn't go to bed just to wait for the person in front of him, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he said very lightly: "One is missing."

"The slave knows that the maid is from the Yanxi Palace, and will be disposed of tonight, but does the second elder brother know what characteristics this person has? It will be easier for the slave to send someone to look for it." The name of the imperial guard was Ao Jia. The relatives of the queen's uncle, Hesheli Suo'etu, have been arranged by Suo'etu to secretly protect Yinfeng in the Qianqing Palace, and they have also become half of the emperor's eyeliner.

Yinfeng pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "On her right neck, there is a cinnabar-colored mole."

Ao Jia nodded, stood up, and made a gesture to leave: "Your servant understands."

Seeing that Ao Jia was about to go far away, Yinreng's eyes flickered a little confused, and he asked a little doubtfully: "She is from Yanxi Palace, do you want to kill her too?"

Hearing the sound, Ao Jia paused slightly, and turned to look at Yinfeng.He looked at Yinfeng's immature face full of gloom, sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Your mother left unjustly, Lord Suo'etu and Lord Gabula don't want you to make any more mistakes."

After saying that, Ao Jia's gaze deepened, and he paused word by word: "You are the greatest hope of the Hesheli family."

In the night when the black crow crows, it is destined to herald something ominous.The side room of Yanxi Palace is next to the palace wall, and Ao Jia's men are all well-trained guards, one by one neatly climbing down the palace wall, the movement is so subtle that it is almost impossible to detect.

A guard walked slowly to the door of the ear room first, took out a stick of incense, lit it with a scythe, and threw it into the ear room. A special and wonderful fragrance immediately filled the entire ear room of Yanxi Palace, and even A wisp of white smoke grew wider and wider.

Within a quarter of an hour, the fragrance in the ear room had spread outside.Seeing that the situation was almost over, the guards took out a piece of black cloth to cover the lower half of their faces, tightened their noses, looked at each other, and walked slowly into the ear room.

The sleeping maids also looked well-behaved, facing the same side, with neat clothes and almost no wrinkles on the quilt.A few guards took unsheathed knives and scratched the faces of these unconscious court ladies one by one, looking for the maid with a cinnabar mole on the right neck.

"Boss, they don't seem to have anything around their necks." After checking all the maids, the guard on the farthest side looked at the guard in the middle without knowing why.

"Impossible, this is what the second elder brother said in person, there is no mistake." The guard in the middle also felt strange, but they followed orders and had to explain, so he had no choice but to say: "Check again."

It’s going to be summer soon, and there have been more mosquitoes recently. Yi Zhu was woken up by mosquitoes when she slept at night. She planned to make do with it, but she thought that there might be mosquitoes in Mr. Yougui’s bedroom, so she got up and went to the warehouse to find mosquito repellent. Herbal sachet.At this moment, Yi Zhu had just delivered the sachet to the maid of the night watch, and was walking back to the ear room in a daze from sleepiness.

But at the moment when he was about to enter the door, Yizhu looked up and realized that there were several masked guards in the side room at the moment.Yi Zhu's pupils trembled, and he froze for a moment. The sachet in his hand fell to the ground, and he subconsciously let out a cry.

It was this sound that made all the guards in the ear room look at Yizhu in unison. The group of guards didn't react for a while, and looked at each other in a panic.For such a long time, these guards who specialize in replacing the palace people around the second elder brother have long been proficient in their business, but this is the first time they have left the Qianqing Palace to do it.

As long as their plot is discovered, the series of replacement systems around the second elder brother is likely to be exposed.

The guard at the door was the first to react, turned his head and ordered to the people around him: "Kill her!"

Hearing this, Yizhu's body trembled, he no longer felt sleepy, turned around and ran quickly.Yizhu originally wanted to run to the main hall, but after thinking about it, if this group of people made a move on Yougui, it would be her fault as a slave.

Therefore, Yizhu frowned, and ran out of the palace with all his strength, the guards did not hesitate too much, and hurriedly chased after them with light steps.

Yi Zhu ran out of the gate of Yanxi Palace, saw the group of people chasing after him, and immediately shouted with his loudest voice: "There are assassins! There are assassins!"

Yizhu's voice quickly attracted the guards who were guarding the night in various corridors. Seeing a court lady in Yizhu who was so frightened that the pear blossoms were raining like rain, these guards stopped her and asked: "Miss, Where is the assassin you speak of?"

Yizhu stopped, but she had trouble breathing because of running too fast and being overly frightened. She looked behind her, but found that the guards chasing her had gone nowhere.Yizhu's eyes darkened, and he pointed to the distance of the corridor where he came, and replied weakly: "In... Yanxi Palace..."

After finishing speaking, Yi Zhu leaned over and fell to the ground in a faint.The standing guard with a knife caught Yizhu, his face froze, he shook Yizhu's body, and called out in a strict voice: "Girl, girl!"

Seeing that Yizhu had fainted, the guard who caught him looked forward and said to the people beside him, "Hurry up and go to Yanxi Palace."

At the same time, the situation of Yanxi Palace spread to Qianqing Palace as quickly as possible.Ao Jia was very angry when she heard the report from her subordinates, and scolded: "They all do things like this? Even a little court lady can't handle it?"

The subordinate took two steps back silently, biting his lower lip with some fear: "They said they didn't find a maidservant with a cinnabar mole on her neck in Yanxi Palace, but they were bumped into by another maidservant on the way."

Ao Jia stared fiercely at the person in front of her, forced herself to calm down, and said in a slightly quieter voice, "Where did the emperor rest tonight?"

The subordinate lowered his head and replied softly: "The emperor is staying in Kunning Palace tonight to commemorate the late empress."

Ao Jia nodded, frowned fiercely, and ordered sternly: "Search the palace immediately, be sure to find the maid who serves the second elder brother, and kill her before dawn."

"Search the palace?" The subordinate asked back incomprehensibly, blinking slightly, "Search... which palace?"

Ao Jia seemed to be very impatient with this subordinate, his eyes were so deep that he almost stared at this subordinate: "Qianqing Palace."

Upon hearing this, the subordinates shouted in disbelief: "Search the Qing Palace?"
