Concubine to conquer the world

Chapter 249 Be ruthless when you should be ruthless

"It's been a while since I've been serving my princess. Today, my princess is happy, and I will reward you with this bowl of soup."

Inside the room, a stunningly beautiful woman was sitting at the table, looking at the servant girl standing beside her.

The maid immediately knelt down and waved her hands again and again: "It's a slave's blessing to be able to serve the concubine, and a slave's status is lowly, so she shouldn't ask for rewards."

While speaking, his eyes seemed to be unintentionally swept towards the bowl of soup that he had just brought out from the small kitchen.

Hot air came out of the bowl, and the clouds were lingering.

The hands hidden in the cuffs couldn't help but clenched tightly, his expression slightly confused.

His cold eyes focused on the bowl of soup, and he couldn't help frowning. The broken intestines in the soup were scattered too heavily, and the poisoner must have been too flustered.

Xia Jianzhao's bright red lips tugged slightly, and a sneer overflowed.

"It's good to know that you are humble."

Saying these words in a low voice, she stretched out her white hand to pick up the bowl, and slowly leaned over to the maidservant.

"My princess doesn't think you are humble, but I am afraid that your humble people will play tricks."

"Seeing that you look harmless to humans and animals, you must not be that kind of person. Drinking this bowl of soup proves that you are worthy of your humbleness."

Hearing this, the maidservant's body couldn't stop shaking.

Thinking that both her master and wife died at the hands of the couple, her eyes of hatred were deep.

Since I was a child, I have been with the old man and his wife, they are like my parents.
This hatred is unbearable!
Looking at the bowl of soup handed to her, she didn't reach out to take it.

Feeling the lingering chill hitting her, she took out a sharp knife from her cuff and stabbed at Xia Jianzhao.

If he hadn't known about it and planned to dodge in time, Xia Jianzhao would have been stabbed in the chest.

"You killed the master and wife, I want to avenge them!"

The maid clenched the sharp blade in her hand and stabbed at her again.

Xia Jianzhao casually grabbed something from the table to resist.

However, before she had time to get close, a long sword suddenly pierced the maid's chest from behind, and then she fell down suddenly, blood gushed out from the corner of her lips unstoppably, and the pupils gradually shrank and disappeared. luster.

Looking at the dead people on the ground, Xia Jianzhao sighed slightly, and lowered his raised arms, only to realize that the weapon he was grabbing casually turned out to be a piece of shortbread!

She cynically took a bite and chewed hard in her mouth.

"Why is the princess sighing? Are you pitying her?"

"The subordinates feel that the princess should not feel pity for such an insidious person, and should be ruthless when it is time to be ruthless!"

Yao Zhi put the blood-stained sword back into its sheath, and untied it like this.

Xia Jianzhao walked to the maidservant's body, knelt down and picked up the sharp knife in her hand, and said lightly.

"My regret is that she did not die in my hands"

Yao Zhi: "."

Princess, you don't need your subordinates to encourage you to be ruthless.
But are you really sure that if your subordinates don't make a move, she can die in your hands?
He didn't have the courage to say these words in the end.

Silently glanced at the bitten piece of shortbread on the table, he tentatively said, "But how does the princess know that she has evil intentions?"

"Since she disappeared for less than half an hour every day without reason, this princess has wisely sensed that something is wrong."

"So I followed her quietly a few times and found that she wrote letters to the capital from time to time."

Having said that, Xia Jianzhao's eyes fixed on the hilt of the dagger, and then he curled his lips and wrapped the sharp blade with cloth, and continued, "Tell me, whose credit is it for the news in the capital to spread so quickly?"

Hearing this, Yao Zhi silently looked at the cold corpse on the ground, and couldn't help but look at his calm and calm princess.

From the bottom of my heart, I admired her quite a bit.
