Chapter 1010

The little palace man led the butler out of the courtyard where Concubine Wei lived, and explained to the butler as he walked: "Our concubine can't smell oily smoke, so the small kitchen for our concubine to cook is on the left side of the courtyard. in the yard."

The butler just smiled, and said in a low voice: "The old man in our house said that when the concubine was still in our house, she was a noble person, and she couldn't smell the kitchen."

The little palace man is already familiar with the housekeeper. The little girl is curious about the master she serves, but she dare not ask. It is a taboo for a servant to inquire about the master. I can't spare her.

The housekeeper looked back as he walked, the guards guarding the courtyard gate in the rain did not pay attention to him and the little palace man, no guards were looking at them.

Turn left along the stone-paved road, behind several tall poplar trees, a small courtyard appears in front of the housekeeper.

"Here we are," Xiao Gongren said to the butler.

The butler nodded and let the little palace man continue to walk in front of him, and the two of them walked into the small courtyard one after the other.The little palace man stepped into the courtyard door with one foot, the butler suddenly stretched out his hand, and strangled the little palace man's neck forcefully with his whole arm, before the little palace man had time to react, the back of the house was pierced by the butler with a dagger.

After confirming that the little palace man was out of breath, the housekeeper let go and threw the little palace man's body in front of the gate of the small courtyard.The little palace man opened his mouth and protruded his eyes, his expression was not fear, but stunned, the little girl didn't understand until she died, how could the housekeeper of Wei's house who got along very warmly with her suddenly turn his back and take her life.

"Don't blame me," the butler said to the corpse of the little palace man, they are their own masters, and whoever lives and who dies is really up to them to decide.

Blood flowed out from the small palace man's heart wound, but the moment it flowed out, it was washed away by the heavy rain.

The butler pinched his throat, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly: "He's dead, there's an assassin! There's an assassin!"

As the butler screamed, in the small kitchen, the nurse on duty poured oil into the stove, and the fire in the stove shot up all of a sudden, and the flames burned the beams above the stove, and the room Liang was on fire.

He took some oil and splashed it around the kitchen before the nurse in charge ran out of the kitchen. At this time, the small kitchen dedicated to Concubine Wei was already full of smoke, but because of the heavy rain, the fire could not be started.

"It's a fire, someone set it on fire!" The nurse in charge screamed in the courtyard.

When the steward and the nanny in charge shouted, the back house began to be chaotic.

The chief guard of Wang did not dare to leave the courtyard where Concubine Wei lived, and while ordering people to look at the small kitchen, he ordered the eunuchs who ran out of the house to go back to the house.

The guards who ran to the courtyard of the small kitchen panicked when they saw the body of the little palace man. How did the assassin get into the back house?
"Where is he going!" The butler pointed the way to the guards, and the direction he pointed was the back door of Xiyuan.

The guards didn't have time to think at this moment, the assassin managed to sneak into Xiyuan's back house, but why he only killed a trivial palace man and ran away, and asked a guard to go back and report to Wang Zheng, and several guards went into the courtyard to see In the face of the fire, another dozen or so guards chased in the direction of the back door.

The guards entered the yard, only to find that the people on duty in the small kitchen tonight, except for a nurse in charge who was standing in the yard crying and shouting, all the others were dead.

"There are assassins," the nurse in charge cried out to the guards.

The small kitchen was still emitting thick smoke. A guard knelt down to look at the body of the eunuch lying on the steps, and found that the eunuch had blood from his mouth and nose, and his throat had been slashed open with a knife.The guards were not clerks, and for a while, he couldn't figure out whether the eunuch was poisoned to death, or because of a wound on his throat.

"The assassin is running forward," the nurse in charge pointed to the guards in the opposite direction, and she pointed to the main entrance of the back house.

"There are assassins," cried the steward.

"What are you still doing?" The butler shouted outside the courtyard, "Hurry up and catch the assassin!"

Concubine Wei can still take Princess Anping and sit in her big house now. Empress Dowager is surrounded by her cronies now. Among the dozen or so nuns and palace people, half of them were followed by the Wei family. Half of the people she entered to serve in the palace were sent to the imperial palace by the Wei family to serve by her side.Prince Rui used to deal with the people around Dowager Wei, but in the end, Prince Rui didn't deal with all the palace eunuchs with Wei background.

"Go out and have a look," Dowager Wei ordered a nun to say, "See if Wang Zheng is still there, let him come and see me!"

The nanny took orders and ran outside.

Concubine Wei heard someone screaming in her courtyard again at this time, and someone died in her courtyard.

Standing up from the couch with her hands on the armrest, Concubine Wei rushed out of the room and asked loudly, "What happened? Who was killed?!"

The nanny who went out didn't respond, but Mr. Fu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Father?" Dowager Wei called out.

"There are assassins," Old Master Wei said, "I heard from the chief guard surnamed Wang that he wants to lead someone to the front."

"What, what?" Concubine Wei was stunned, someone died here, but Wang Zheng, a slave, wants to take someone away?

"He's going to the prince's place," Old Master Wei said, "Did you hear the sound of arrows just now?"

Concubine Wei said: "I heard that, it's not, but, what happened?"

Facing the incoherent daughter, the old man Wei was very calm and said, "Someone has attacked the city, and the east city may have fallen."

Concubine Wei fell back to the couch.

Princess Anping was frightened by her grandfather's words, she sat stiffly on the chair, not daring to move.

Concubine Wei came back to her senses after being frightened, and asked loudly: "Where is the prince? How is the prince?!"

Mr. Wei said: "I think the prince is probably going to abandon the city."

Abandon the city?In other words, do they still have to run after Prince Rui?Concubine Wei wants to cry but has no tears, where else can they go?Although the world is big, is it possible for them to escape like this?

As if confirming the old man Wei's words, the nanny who had just left stumbled back after her, and said to Concubine Wei: "Madam, the prince is leaving the mansion."

Since he was leaving the house, why didn't his son send someone to notify him?Concubine Wei immediately asked herself this question, is it because the person who came to notify has not yet arrived, or did it mean that her son never thought of notifying her?
"The lord sent someone here?" Old Master Wei was asking Mammy.

Mammy was trembling, but she didn't dare to look up at Mr. Wei.

"Speak up!" Concubine Wei said urgently to the nanny.

Momo then cried: "The old slave heard what the guards in front of the courtyard said, my lord, my lord let them go back. Madam Taifei, my lord will transfer the guards outside, he will transfer those guards away!"

So her son is going to leave her as his mother, and Anping, his own sister?Concubine Wei was stunned, she and Prince Rui's mother and son had been getting along badly all these years, this unhappiness had accumulated day by day and reached its peak tonight, Dowager Wei suspected that Prince Rui had abandoned her and Anping's mother and daughter, and escaped alone.

"Ms. Concubine, let's go see the prince," Mrs. Wei suggested to Concubine Wei at this moment.
