The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 337 Beat Her (Part 2)

But it was said that the master was attracted by the sound of the flute, and performed lightness kung fu to come to the rockery where Xiao Liulang was.

He wore a mask, only revealing a pair of colder bloodthirsty eyes than ordinary killers.

He landed steadily in front of Xiao Liulang, and looked Xiao Liulang up and down.

When Xiao Liulang was a child, he had seen Princess Xinyang call the dead soldiers of the late emperor with the sound of a flute, and what she played was the song just now.

There was no one around in this area, and his singing was not very loud. Only the late emperor's dead soldiers should have heard it.

At first I was a little worried about whether I might make a mistake, but it seemed right.

But why is he the only one? Are the rest not in the palace anymore?

In my impression, the dead soldiers of the first emperor wore such masks, with the same terrifying murderous aura on their bodies.

They will not indiscriminately kill people who are not on mission, especially those who do not know martial arts, unless they are obstructed by the other party while performing the mission.

Xiao Liulang understood that as long as he did not make provocative actions, he would not do anything to him.

His eyes were puzzled and curious.

Xiao Liulang graciously let him look at him.

After a while, as if to prove something, Xiao Liulang said to him: "Can you please help me pick a leaf from the top of my head?"

The man left without looking back!

Xiao Liulang sighed.

Originally, it was a bit of a fluke that he could play the tune to summon the other party, and maybe he could also make the other party obey. It seemed that he was thinking too much.

Princess Xinyang was able to control the dead soldiers of the late emperor not because of this song, but because she was the new master passed down to them by the late emperor.

When the dead man heard the tune, he probably thought that the original master was calling him, but when he rushed over and found that he was neither the first emperor nor His Majesty, he turned around and left!

Well, he can only procrastinate for so little time.

Gu Jiao dragged the person into the small black room near the Taiye Pool, just after throwing the person in, before she had time to unleash her snowflake-like violent fists, a terrifying and familiar aura approached.

ah!

Are you back so soon!

She hasn't started beating yet!

Niu Hulu Gu Jiao scratched her head frantically, picked up the sack, and kicked it into the Taiye Pond!

Then she ran away with a chirp!

The maids in the imperial garden finally found that Concubine Jing was missing, and they hurriedly searched for it.

Finally, the emperor was alarmed.

When the emperor rushed over from the imperial study, Concubine Jing had already been picked up from the water by the dead man and brought back to the bedroom of Huaqing Palace.

"Mother Concubine!"

The emperor rushed to Huaqing Palace in a hurry. He went straight to Concubine Jing's bedroom, but was stopped by Nanny Cai: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment! The concubine is changing clothes!"

The emperor asked anxiously: "What happened? Why did the mother and concubine disappear suddenly?"

Cai Momo said sadly and panicked: "This... I don't know much about this, I will talk about everything after I ask the empress dowager!"

The emperor said coldly: "Why don't you know? Didn't you serve the concubine personally?"

Madam Cai said aggrievedly: "The maidservant was serving beside the empress dowager, but a little maid in the back accidentally burned her hand. The empress was kind, so she asked the maidservant to take the maidservant back to Huaqing Palace to deliver the medicine. How could the maidservant expect this?" , the servants just walk away for a while, and the concubine will fall into the water!"

"Falling into the water?" The emperor frowned.

Dowager Jing's distressed cry came from inside, and Madam Cai hurriedly said, "The empress dowager is soaked through! The servants are going to serve the empress dowagers first, and the servants will leave!"

Nanny Cai turned around and entered Dowager Jing's bedroom.

Not long after, the imperial doctor also came. The imperial doctor was about to salute the emperor, but the emperor waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up and go in!"

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he hurried in with the medicine box.

The emperor waited anxiously outside the bedroom for half an hour before Dowager Jing tidied up.

"Your Majesty." Nanny Cai came out with red eyes, and invited the emperor in.

The emperor quickly came to the bed, sat down beside the bed, and looked at Concubine Jing, who was sitting on the head of the bed with a pale face, a bruised nose and a swollen face, and a huge gauze wrapped around her head, her heart ached!

He looked at Nanny Cai coldly: "Didn't you say you just fell into the water? Why did you get hurt?!"

Still such a serious injury!

Where are all the injuries here? It's just the tip of the iceberg, right?

Although Gu Jiao didn't have time to make a move, she dragged the person into the small black room. Concubine Jing bumped her head seven or eight times on the steps, her buttocks were rubbed a hundred and eighty times on the bluestone board, the sack was worn through, and her trousers It also has a hole! A bloody mess!

Knee bumped three times, arm bumped five times, old waist was hit dozens of times...

She still has to suffer this kind of crime at her age. If she hadn't had martial arts, she would have died long ago!

But even with martial arts, the injury is very serious!

She couldn't move at all, and her whole body was in severe pain!

Cai Momo fell to her knees, choked up and said, "Your servant... I also thought it was simply falling into the water... Your servant..."

Concubine Jing said weakly: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Nanny Cai. Your Majesty, please don't take your anger out on her."

Her weakness at the moment is not just pretending.

It's really really weak, and it may fall down at any time.

"You all step back." Concubine Jing said to Nanny Cai and the palace servants in the bedroom.

Madam Cai and her group looked at the emperor nervously, fearing that he would send them off. The emperor waved his hands with a cold face, and everyone retreated with relief.

"Why are the palace servants not doing anything this time?" the emperor gritted his teeth and muttered.

Concubine Jing raised her arm that was about to break from the pain, put her hand gently on the back of the emperor's hand, shook her head and said, "Don't do their business, because the opponent is too strong."

The emperor asked: "Where are the dead soldiers and hidden guards I left for my mother and concubine?"

Concubine Jing said: "The dead man was led away, and the hidden guard was knocked out."

"That's a master in the palace!" The emperor gasped, "Who is so powerful?"

Concubine Jing shook her head: "I don't know, I felt something was wrong at the time, but before I saw the other party's appearance, I was... hurt by the other party." I'm sorry to say that the quilt is covered with sacks, and I can't afford to lose this person. "The man took me to the vicinity of the Taiye Pool. If the dead man hadn't come back in time to scare the man away, I might have encountered an accident. The man also knew how to throw me into the water, forcing the dead man to go into the water to rescue me. , so that he can escape.”

"So vicious...so vicious!" The emperor clenched his fists, trembling with anger.

Concubine Jing lowered her head, withdrew her hand, and smiled bitterly: "Am... did I cause His Majesty trouble? If I hadn't returned to the palace suddenly, so many things would not have happened for no reason."

The emperor held her hand tightly: "Mother Concubine, don't say that! It's my intention that you go back to the palace! Some people don't want you to go back to the palace, and they tried two tricks in one day, and almost killed Mu Concubine! Concubine mother, don't worry, I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes, even if I risk my life, I will bring her to justice! Get justice for concubine mother!"

These words are just talking about the Empress Dowager Zhuang without naming her name.

Concubine Jing covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed a few times sadly.

"Mother Concubine!" The emperor looked coldly at the imperial doctor kneeling on the ground, "What's the matter with Mother Concubine?!"

The imperial doctor replied with fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, the empress dowager was seriously injured, and she was frightened by falling into the water. I'm afraid she will take a long time to recover before she recovers."

The emperor yelled: "Then what are you still doing here? Hurry up and make medicine for the mother and concubine!"

"Yes Yes!"

The imperial doctor went out in a cold sweat!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Eunuch Wei walked in with small steps.

"What is it?" asked the emperor.

Eunuch Wei said: "The slave found Xiao Xiuzhuan unconscious near the Taiye Pool."

"he?"

The emperor went to the small garden of Huaqing Palace.

Eunuch Wei just called the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor gave Xiao Liulang an injection. Xiao Liulang woke up slowly. He opened his heavy eyelids and asked, "Where is this?"

Eunuch Wei hurriedly said: "This is Huaqing Palace! Xiao Xiuzhuan, you just fainted in Taiye Pond! Why did you faint?"

Xiao Liulang looked bewildered: "I... just now seemed to... saw a suspicious-looking person, like Jiaojiao... I called her, but she knocked me out."

"What? The little genius doctor knocked you out?" Eunuch Wei looked at the emperor in astonishment, and he also saw shock in the emperor's eyes.

After all, the emperor is an emperor who has experienced fighting spirits. He inquired carefully about the location and time of Xiao Liulang's accident, and soon matched the man with the murderer who assassinated Concubine Jing!

Xiao Liulang's eyes were filled with astonishment: "Your Majesty, are you saying... Concubine Jing was attacked... the murderer was Jiaojiao? How is this possible?"

His acting skills have improved again. He has only done such a shameless thing once or twice. How can he be so proficient?

Does he really have some kind of talent?

Eunuch Wei was puzzled and said: "But the slave just interrogated the palace servants, and at that time, no one appeared nearby except her."

Xiao Liulang said seriously: "Jiaojiao didn't enter the palace at all today. Although she has some skills, she can't do light work. She can't get in without going through the gate."

This is the truth.

Gu Jiao's lightness kung fu is indeed lacking at all, the emperor has learned it deeply, the night he was assassinated, Gu Jiao took him to escape by running on four legs!

The emperor's leg almost broke!

If she knows how to do light work, she won't need it even when it's a matter of life and death.

This time, without waiting for the emperor's order, in order to clear the little doctor's innocence, Eunuch Wei went to the palace gate by himself and asked the guard Gu Jiao if he had ever entered the palace.

"No!" The guard replied firmly.

Eunuch Wei: "Did Xiao Xiuzhuan enter the palace by himself?"

Guard: "There is also a little eunuch from Renshou Palace."

This little eunuch did not arouse Eunuch Wei's suspicion, because the Empress Dowager Zhuang did often send people to Bishui Hutong to deliver things, or to pick up people from Bishui Hutong into the palace.

Eunuch Wei went back to Huaqing Palace to report: "It is true that the little genius doctor did not enter the palace today."

Xiao Liulang said thoughtfully: "Could it be...someone pretending to be Jiaojiao?"

The emperor gritted his teeth: "Have you seen her appearance clearly?"

Xiao Liulang shook his head slightly: "I didn't see it too clearly, the back is very similar, the clothes and hair accessories are the same, and there is that small basket!"

In the palace, no court lady would wear green clothes and carry a small pannier, which is obviously Gu Jiao's attire.

The emperor's eyes turned cold: "It seems that someone is really pretending to be a little miracle doctor!"

Xiao Liulang suddenly realized: "Why didn't he kill the minister to silence her, maybe he wanted to use the minister's mouth to reveal her identity. Unfortunately, she didn't know that Jiaojiao can't do light work, but let her reveal herself."

This balance is very delicate.

Even Eunuch Wei didn't know about Gu Jiao's inability to do light work. He thought that the little genius doctor was so good at it, that he must be able to fly over walls like a master.

It was precisely because he didn't know that the emperor believed that the murderer didn't know.

From this point of view, the murderer missed one thing.

Since the murderer planned to frame Gu Jiao, the mastermind behind the scenes would not be the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

No matter how prejudiced the emperor was against Empress Dowager Zhuang, he couldn't believe that she would frame Gu Jiao. During the days when he was recuperating in Bishui Hutong, he had seen her treat Gu Jiao well. Same.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's suspicion is self-defeating.

"But if it wasn't for her, who would be so tolerant of Concubine Jing..." the emperor murmured coldly.

His voice was not loud, but Eunuch Wei still heard it.

Eunuch Wei glanced at Xiao Liulang cautiously, thinking that such words should not be said in front of Xiao Xiuzhuan, right? I only pray that Xiao Xiuzhuan didn't hear it.

Xiao Liulang's expression didn't change at all, as if he really didn't hear anything, he pondered seriously for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, since that person blamed Jiaojiao, he must be trying to stir up conflicts between Huaqing Palace and Renshou Palace."

It is no secret that Gu Jiao and Renshou Palace are close. If it is not proved that the murderer is not Gu Jiao today, the fire will definitely be burned on the head of the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Xiao Liulang said seriously: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. This is someone who wants your majesty, the concubine, and the queen mother to fight in the nest. The snipe and the clam will fight for the fisherman's benefit. I understand that there is an irresolvable conflict between your majesty and the queen mother, but my lord In the face of the enemy, Your Majesty must not fall into the tricks of others."

These words would not have been heard by the emperor in the past.

But the evidence of what happened today is convincing, it is hard for him to believe it or not.

After Xiao Liulang left the palace, the emperor sat quietly in the study for a long time, until the imperial doctor came to report to him the situation of Concubine Jing, then he got up and went to Concubine Jing's bedroom.

"Has the murderer been found?" Dowager Jing asked weakly.

The emperor hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't say anything about the murderer pretending to be Gu Jiao and being met by Xiao Liulang by chance: "I don't have much clue for now, mother and concubine, please rest assured, I will continue to investigate."

Concubine Jing smiled: "Yes."

Today is the day when Liu Lang spoils Jiaojiao
