Chapter 99 Another Assassination in the Palace 2
Chuyue was very talkative at this time, with her eyebrows crooked with a smile: "So you care so much about this piece of paper and Li Shu? Then I'll just return it to you when I get back to the mansion." When mentioning Xue's mansion, she suddenly felt a little nervous. Shocked, "I heard... my aunt fainted, is she okay as an old man?"

"My aunt hasn't woken up yet, but the doctor came to see her and said it's just an old problem of qi and blood attacking the head. It's nothing serious, just rest carefully." Xue Yao said, his face changed a little, and he narrowed his eyes Looking her up and down, "It's strange to say, after I settled my aunt last night, I had a strange dream..."

Chuyue was shocked: "What, what strange dream?"

"I dreamed that in Fanlou you... turned into a pig's head." In his dream, through the light veil on the early moon veiled hat, he was about to kiss her, but his lips touched something wet and slippery.He lifted the veil, and underneath was not Chuyue, but a fat pig's face, whimpering and twitching its long nose, trying to push it into his arms.Thinking of this, Xue Yao was also shocked, "It's just a strange dream, don't mention it, don't mention it."

Chuyue didn't dare to speak, she rubbed her nose and laughed twice.Xue Yao looked at Chuyue's injury, and thought that she was in danger just now, You felt a little scared: "Today I was worried about you, so I entrusted Luo Ji to enter the palace as a guard. Originally, I wanted to go to Xiting to find you. I didn't expect to meet an assassin. If you come a step later, the consequences will be unimaginable. This is the second time you have been assassinated, the defense in the palace is empty, it is too dangerous, you should go back to the residence first."

Mrs. Xue hasn't woken up yet, and she doesn't know how much she saw yesterday. If she wakes up and shakes out something... Chuyue shrinks her neck: "If the assassin really came after me, it's no use returning to the mansion." If it hurts others, why don't I stay in the palace first, let Luo Ji send more guards to guard the Golden Sparrow Palace..."

Xue Yao frowned, but heard Luo Ji knocking on the door: "General, something happened!"

Lying on the ground were two stiff corpses, with black faces and black blood remaining at the corners of their mouths.Xue Yao frowned: "No one left alive?"

Luo Ji shook his head in shame.Xue Yao stepped forward to check, and found that the molars on the back of the corpse had been crushed, and it was obvious that the deadly poison had already been hidden inside.In order to conceal his identity at the expense of his life, he can only be a dead soldier raised by a high-ranking person.It's not easy to cultivate a dead warrior, Chuyue is just an unfavored princess, but the other party has set such a heavy plan to hunt and kill her, what is the plan?
He opened the skirt of the corpse again, and sure enough, he saw a strange totem tattooed on the chest, which was the same as the pattern that was inscribed when he traced to the secret room that day.What does the person behind the scene have to do with the death of his brother?
Luo Ji ordered people to clean up the dead body: "Just now there was a lot of trouble chasing the assassin, the general should leave the palace as soon as possible, if the emperor finds out that you entered the palace secretly, I'm afraid there will be trouble again."

In this resplendent and resplendent nine-layered palace, there is clearly a pair of hands, deep in the dark, arranging this game of chess, but he just can't see clearly.Xue Yao's face sank like water: "The mastermind must be in the palace, and I will continue to investigate along this line no matter what. Since I have resigned from the military power and have nothing to do, I might as well invite myself into the palace and take over from the king. The post of commander of the internal guards."

"If the general becomes the commander of the inner guards, he will be able to enter and leave the harem justifiably, and the investigation will be much more convenient. As long as you are willing to stay under the emperor's nose, the emperor will naturally agree..." Luo Ji saw Xue Yao looking at him. He hurriedly waved his hand, "The general doesn't need to care about me. I follow the general these days, and I feel that my martial arts are too inferior. If the general can take up the post of guard commander, I would be happy to be free and learn swordsmanship."

Xue Yao nodded: "If you really want to learn, I can recommend you to my master, and we can be brothers."
