Li Jifeng was greatly moved by her words, and he became more determined in his heart. He couldn't help but say: "In short, I have made up my mind on this matter. Don't argue with me anymore!"
Wei Jingxuan sighed quietly and said no more. After a while, the outline of Yangxin Palace appeared in their sight.
Wei Jingxuan looked at the palace with a complicated expression. She had not set foot here again for more than half a year, and had never seen the owner of this palace, Hongli... We are finally going to meet again!
When Wei Jingxuan and others entered the Yangxin Hall, Mao Gui also found Xiangju covered in injuries in the ear room. She sat on the ground and kept panting. She looked miserable. When she saw Mao Gui,
There was a trace of hatred in his eyes, and he struggled to get up, but he was too weak and could only stand for a moment.
He fell slumped to the ground again and could only point at Mao Gui and said: "You... you are so cruel. You clearly saw that I was only two steps away, but you closed the door and refused to open it no matter how hard I beat you.
, no matter what, I share the difficulties with you, how can you treat me like this?!"
Mao Gui sighed deeply: "I didn't want to either, but you saw the situation at that time. If we didn't close the door, those crows would rush in, and something would happen to the three of us."
Xiangju said excitedly: "So you can shut me out with peace of mind and watch me being pecked and scratched by those crows, or even watch me die?!"
Mao Gui knelt down and said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, Xiangju, I'm really sorry. If there was no other way, I wouldn't have done that." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see your injury."
Xiangju waved his hand away with all her strength and said in a cold voice: "There is no need for a cat to cry and a mouse to pretend to be compassionate. This incident has made me clearly see the true nature of your promise to Wei." By this time, she was no longer interested.
I would like to call Wei Jingxuan my master again, because Wei Jingxuan is not worthy!
"Xiangju..." Before Mao Gui could continue, Xiangju said again: "Wei promised that she would end up like today. She deserves it. It's ridiculous that she keeps thinking about coming back. I tell you, it's impossible, in this life
It’s impossible!”
Mao Gui's expression changed and he said, "What do you want to do?"
Xiangju sneered: "I don't do anything, I just tell the emperor what he should know."
Mao Gui narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a hint of danger: "Do you want to betray the master?"
"It's not that I think about it, it's because you are forcing me!" Xiangju took a breath and said bitterly: "If it weren't for my fate, I would have gone to hell at this moment, and I would not... I would never forgive you!"
Mao Gui was silent for a while and said, "Is there no room for maneuver?"
"You should have thought of this result when you locked me out and was attacked by crows!" As soon as Xiangju finished speaking, Mao Gui suddenly stretched out his hand to clamp her neck and said in her frightened eyes:
"Master is indeed right, you can't stay any longer."
Xiangju struggled to squeeze out a few words from her throat, "You...you want to kill me?!"
Mao Gui said expressionlessly: "As you just said, it's not that I want to, but that I was forced by you. If you don't care for yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth!"
"Your Majesty... His Majesty will know that it's you..." Before Xiang Ju finished speaking, Mao Gui tightened his hands again, making her speechless, and then dragged her out. After reaching the bottom of the steps, Mao Gui
Gui smiled softly, "Don't worry, the emperor won't know that I was the one who killed you. He will only think that you were trying to avoid the crows, so you slipped and fell to the ground and lost your life!"
As the last word fell, Mao Gui suddenly let go of Xiangju's neck. Just as Xiangju was gasping for breath, he opened his fingers and clasped Xiangju's face, and then slammed him onto the steps.
"Bah!" This was the last sound Xiangju heard in this world. She stared at Mao Gui through her fingers and wanted to say something, but there was only a "gurgle" sound in her throat.
Until she lost her breath, her eyes were wide open, full of resentment. A crow flew out of Yimeixuan, stopped on Xiangju and pecked hard, and the uncoagulated blood slowly flowed along the wound.
It slowly flowed out and mixed with the blood flowing from the back of the head.
Mao Gui stood up straight, stared at Xiangju... no, it should be said that it was Xiangju's body, and said coldly: "If I were you, I wouldn't tell myself my hatred and plans just for the sake of quick pleasure.
You... are still too stupid to harm the people." After saying this, Mao Gui returned to the penthouse and wiped away the traces of procrastination to avoid suspicion.
Just as Mao Gui was about to leave, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him. When he turned around to see who was coming, he was startled. Damn it, why did Xiao Wu come here? He suppressed the panic in his heart and bent down to fight.
A Qian'er said: "My dear, please give my regards to the Fifth Eunuch. May the Fifth Eunuch be auspicious!"
Xiaowu responded, walked over and pointed at Xiangju: "What's going on?"
Mao Gui tried his best to squeeze out two tears and sobbed: "I don't know, I saw Xiangju like this when I came over. I wanted to save her, but found that...she had no breath. She must have been driven crazy by those crazy people."
The crows pecked it to death, it’s really pitiful.”
Xiao Wu drove away the crow that had landed on Xiangju's body, stepped forward to examine it carefully, and said: "Although there were many wounds on her body, they were all superficial wounds and not life-threatening. The real fatal one was her."
Judging from her position and posture, the wound on the back of her head probably occurred when she accidentally fell her head while avoiding a crow and lost her life."
Mao Gui said with a sad look on his face: "Xiangju is such a good person, how could she die? It's all my fault. If I had been with her at that time, she would not have died."
"No one knew something like this would happen." After saying this, Xiao Wu said: "By the way, do you know why the crows are attacking you like crazy?"
It's the queen who wants to harm us! Mao Gui almost told the truth. If he really said that, I'm afraid he would not be able to escape the charge of framed the queen.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and changed his words in time, "I don't know, I was just planning to serve my master for lunch when I suddenly smelled a fragrance that I had never smelled before, and then the group of crows went crazy towards me.
The master and the little one rushed over. Fortunately, I
We were all in the house at the time, closed the doors and windows in time, and waited until Guard Li came to rescue us. But Xiangju was not so lucky. She must have come here to hide in the penthouse, but..." At this point..."
, Mao Gui pretended to cry.
Xiao Wu sniffed and said: "When I came in just now, I also noticed the aroma wafting here. I thought someone had knocked over the fragrant powder. Do you know where it came from?"
Mao Gui's eyes flashed slightly and he said: "I don't know, but if you follow the scent, you should be able to find the source."
"Then let's go look for it." With that said, Xiao Wu took the lead to follow the scent. Of course Mao Gui knew that the fragrant powder was in the harem courtyard, but he was afraid of arousing Xiao Wu's suspicion, so he only followed behind him.
