When the palace maid heard that a weapon was coming from behind her, she tried to hide in another direction. Unexpectedly, a hairpin was shot in that direction, blocking her way.
The palace maid reacted very quickly and subconsciously turned around. Her shoulder suddenly hit a tree next to her, and she rolled heavily to the side.
It was obviously a very painful impact, but the palace maid only grunted, quickly rolled up and knelt down on one knee, covering her shoulder with one hand, and the other hand hanging to the side and hidden in her sleeve, in a defensive posture.
She raised her lips and smiled, adding a bit of ghostliness to her ordinary face: "I didn't expect Wu Zhaoyi to be able to do martial arts."
Lihua had stopped at this moment and was seven or eight steps away from the palace maid.
With a quick glance, she noticed that the palace maid's hands hidden in her sleeves could not move.
She did not approach anyone carelessly, but stared closely at the palace maid.
Lihua said: "You are wearing ordinary clothes, you have an ordinary appearance, and you are unrecognizable. You must have deliberately disguised yourself. You have to disguise yourself because you are afraid of being recognized. I think you are from the harem, and you are also someone who needs to go out on errands on weekdays."
While she speculated, she stared at the palace maid, then moved around, squatted down, picked up the hairpin that fell on the ground, and inserted it back into her head.
Personal hairpins should not be thrown away casually. There are bad people, and this is the one in front of you.
She said this for two reasons. One is that the evildoer said that the two evil insects are related to Shoukang Palace, and the other is that Chen Sisi recently wandered to Shoukang Palace.
You must know that the current harem is controlled by the Queen Mother. The concubines cannot intervene and without real power, they cannot make any promises.
But this speculation is missing the most important link, which is what kind of benefits the master of the harem can promise Shoukang Palace to work for those concubines and concubines.
She slipped a concealed weapon from her sleeve and held it in her hand.
However, it had only been three years since the evildoer ascended the throne, and Zhuang Ning Palace was still in charge of palace affairs. The imperial concubine was still not ready to lay such a tight net.
Therefore, Lihua privately believed that the most likely possibility was that a certain master in the harem had colluded with Shoukang Palace.
The movements of Xiao Junzi, Jinghong Hall and Chen Sisi were all under the control of the person behind the scenes, and that was why Wu Fang'er died. This proves that this person has a lot of eyes and a lot of power.
Hearing this, Lihua chuckled and was not annoyed: "Yes, that's all I have. I can only guess that your master has been working in the harem for many years and has a lot of connections with Shoukang Palace."
If she was not sure of killing with one hit, she could never take action, otherwise the second strategy would be ruined.
This master must have promised great benefits to Shoukang Palace, so Shoukang Palace would devote many years of resources and connections to help.
After finally meeting this palace maid, how could we not give it a try?
While talking, Lihua paid attention to the other person's demeanor and behavior, and found that the other person's hand on his shoulder tightened a little, and his eyes also changed slightly.
Lihua wanted to continue testing, but unexpectedly the other party was very alert.
Before she continued to speak, the other party had already noticed.
She immediately knew that she had guessed correctly, that it was related to Shoukang Palace!
But this is just speculation and there is no subsequent confirmation.
The palace maid realized for a moment that her reaction might betray her.
"Oh, even ordinary people can guess that this is what Wu Zhaoyi is capable of?" the palace maid provoked and sarcastically said.
I just don’t know if the person behind this is someone from Shoukang Palace or some master in the harem.
She hurriedly gathered her thoughts and revealed it with a sneer: "Wu Zhaoyi is not trying to trick me, is he? It's better to give up this idea as soon as possible. You will get nothing from me."
Unexpectedly, just this sentence made Lihua discover something.
Lihuaqing said "Huh": "You call yourself me? It seems that your master's status is not low, at least it is higher than Zhaoyi's, and you are trusted by your master."
Only then could I call myself "I" very naturally when facing her, with full confidence, without the usual submissiveness and confidence of low-level concubines and slaves.
