Chapter 153 Midnight Horror
The little maid's noise made Xu Jingxuan unbearable. She suddenly opened the quilt and roared: "Hey! You..."
But the next second she was so horrified that she couldn't speak because she faced a pair of cloudy and lifeless eyes and a head covered in blood.
A man's head hangs on her bed!
The head was shaking in the dim candlelight, and it was extremely terrifying.
"Ah!" She screamed, and reflexively opened the quilt to climb out of bed, but her hand touched something soft, and when she looked closely, it was a naked, headless male corpse.
There was another scream of terror, and he shrank crazily into the bed. His hand touched something fleshy again. When he turned around, he saw a male corpse in the same condition. The corpse's face was covered in blood, his eyes were cracked, and he had a terrifying expression.
Xu Jingxuan screamed strangely, rolled her eyes and fainted.
When the maid and mother-in-law came in after hearing the noise, they were so frightened by the scene that they screamed and ran out to call for help.
Soon, the prime minister's wife came in with a group of maids and the mother-in-law who were shouting. When they saw the scene in the room, they screamed again and again.
Prime Minister Xu also came with his guards, but even if it was his daughter's room, he, as a father, could not enter rashly in the middle of the night.
At this time, when he heard the screams inside, he didn't care about the men and women taking precautions, and rushed in with his men.
After all, he had seen the world. He looked at the scene in the room, frowned, and shouted coldly: "Why are you panicking? Take the young lady out first and ask for the imperial doctor!"
The Prime Minister's wife regained her composure this time, and tremblingly directed her mother-in-law and maids to carry Xu Jingxuan out.
The prime minister walked to the bed and looked at it. He swung his sword and cut off the rope hanging on the head. The head fell on the bed with a muffled sound.
He ordered the guards behind him: "Let's deal with it. This matter cannot be spread outside."
You must not let outsiders know that there is a male corpse in your daughter's bed. Even if it is a corpse, your reputation will be damaged first.
The corpse was well built and had calluses on its mouth, so it should be a martial arts practitioner. However, it was not easy to identify him because he had no clothes.
His guess was correct. This was the corpse of the assassin during the day, which was used by the people of Meihua Pavilion.
Calling Xu Jingxuan's personal maid, "What on earth is going on?"
The maid's eyes were so frightened that she regained some consciousness after hearing Prime Minister Xu's question. "I don't know, I don't know. The young lady had a nightmare and screamed. I turned on the light to check, but I didn't know that I saw such a scene!"
Prime Minister Xu frowned, "Nightmare? What happened when the young lady entered the palace today?"
The maid didn't dare to hide anything, so she told the whole story of how she met Shangguan Ruoli, how she went to Dongming Yuehua, and how she punished Xu Jingxuan.
Of course, she didn't see Shangguan Ruoli make a move. She only told the truth based on what she saw that Xu Jingxuan fell to the ground and looked very painful.
"This is unreasonable!" Prime Minister Xu was furious.
Xu Jingxuan was his beloved daughter, yet she was bullied like this!
You simply don’t take him as the prime minister seriously!
"Come here!" Prime Minister Xu shouted angrily.
A man who looked like a butler bowed in and said, "Prime Minister!"
Prime Minister Xu ordered: "Kick all the guards and secret guards in the mansion a hundred times, and send the surviving ones to the camp for retraining!"
He was asked to bring the body with him, appear silently in the house, and even enter the young lady's boudoir.
If you enter your room or study to do something, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Ah!" The Prime Minister's wife cried from next door.
Prime Minister Xu hurried out of the house, stood at the door, and asked coldly through the door: "What happened again?"
The Prime Minister's wife cried: "I am changing Xuan'er's clothes, but her body is covered with bruises and pinholes! Wuwu..."
"That was done by Princess Anping!" Prime Minister Xu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Xu Jingxuan's innocence had been ruined.
He asked nervously: "Where is Xuan'er's innocence?"
The Prime Minister's wife stopped crying suddenly and hurriedly ordered the experienced mother-in-law to examine the unconscious Xu Jingxuan.
In their eyes, the innocence of a daughter's family is more important than her life.
Fortunately, Xu Jingxuan’s innocence remains.
However, after she was rescued, her eyes were dull, her expression was dazed, and she screamed crazily when she saw people.
When he sees a woman wearing gorgeous clothes, he kowtows: "Princess, spare your life! Princess, spare your life!"
The Prime Minister's wife was distressed and angry and kept crying, "Master, why does she treat our daughter like this even though she is a princess?! She has always forced Xuan'er to do things that harm her moral character since she was a child, and tortured Xuan'er if she was not satisfied at all!
"
The Prime Minister's eyes were cold. At this time, he also felt that this Prime Minister was quite useless.
But who makes someone a princess?
However, the emperor and the queen must give him an explanation for this matter, otherwise any prince or princess will be able to bully the children of his prime minister's house in the future!
Prime Minister Xu was aggrieved here. Dongming Yuehua tortured Xu Jingxuan, but the anger in his heart has not gone away.
When she came back from the Queen's Fengyi Palace, she picked up a whip and whipped the palace maid, and the eunuch vented his anger.
The Queen Mother wasted so many manpower, and instead of killing Shangguan Ruoli, she suffered the loss of being mute. She was really angry!
The 'snap' sound of the whip falling on the flesh was mixed with the muffled wails of the palace ladies. Not only did this sound not make her feel any better, it actually made her even crazier.
With a ferocious look on her face, she gritted her teeth, raised her hand and whipped the palace maid Fu Rong, "It's all you! Bitch! It's all you who caused this palace! Go to hell! Go to hell!"
Furong did not resist or defend, because she knew that Dongming Yuehua only took out her anger and regarded her as Shangguan Ruoli.
"Bitch! Bitch!" The whips struck Furong all over her face one after another, and the hatred in Dongming Yuehua's heart only increased instead of decreasing.
Until she exhausted all her strength and collapsed on the ground covered in sweat.
Furong curled up motionless on the ground. A woman stretched out her hand to check her breathing, and then sat down on the ground in fright, "Princess, she, she is out of breath."
Dongming Yuehua was helped to the bed by two trembling palace maids. She glanced at Furong with disgust: "If you die, you will die. Find a place to bury it!"
After speaking, his eyebrows furrowed. One day it would be nice to beat Shangguan Ruoli to death like this!
At this time, a black figure suddenly flew out from the Zhenguo General's Mansion and disappeared into the dark night in the blink of an eye, so fast that only an afterimage remained.
The watchman who was doing the watch noticed a flash of black shadow in the distance, rubbed his eyes hurriedly, and sighed helplessly: "Old man, my eyes are all blurry!"
Not long after, the black shadow arrived at the palace, paused briefly in front of the palace wall, and visually measured the height of the city wall. Then the black shadow jumped lightly, climbed over the city wall, and landed floatingly on the ground.
During the whole process, the black shadow did not disturb anyone, nor did it make a sound. The black shadow shuttled between the major palaces, as strong as a cheetah, as light as a flying swallow, as elegant as a cat of noble blood, and came to the emperor with familiarity.
Inner library.
It was obvious that Heiying was no stranger to the imperial palace.
