"Assassinating the Queen Mother? That's really audacious." Cao Xiuzhi said, leaning over to take a look.
The painting is of a woman. Although it was painted in a hurry, the woman's appearance is accurately outlined stroke by stroke. She is exquisite, beautiful and majestic, with a sharp and cold light shining in her eyes.
From the painting, it reveals a compelling pressure.
"Is it her?" Cao Xiuzhi blurted out, and immediately covered his mouth after finishing speaking, fearing that Yingye would know that she had just been stunned by this beauty outside.
However, Yingye didn't seem to hear what he said. She really looked at the person in the portrait, her face lightly covered with a fan, and her eyes moved slightly.
"Miss, she..." The maid next to her recognized her immediately and wanted to say it out.
"Cuiyun, don't talk nonsense." Yingye interrupted the maid lightly, glanced at her, turned around and left without any expression.
"Yingying..." Cao Xiuzhi wanted to follow, but considering that she was losing her temper just now, he didn't have the courage to follow.
"Master, have you seen this assassin?" The old butler is good at observing people's emotions. Ying Ye used her fan to block him and didn't see anything, but he knew very well what Cao Xiuzhi, who had watched him since childhood, was thinking.
.
"I saw her outside the door when I returned home." Cao Xiuzhi did not hide it, "It's just that I don't think she looks like a bad person."
The old housekeeper chuckled and said sincerely: "Young Master, you don't know that things are dangerous in the world outside. Bad people will not have the word 'bad guy' written on their faces."
"What the housekeeper said is that since she has arrived in Huaibei, it's better to be more careful. The mansion will send more personnel to protect her, especially the cousin. She must be carefully protected."
"Yes, don't worry, young master." The old housekeeper said with a smile. Everyone in the entire Hou family knows what the young master thinks about his cousin.
Cao Xiuzhi left with peace of mind.
The old housekeeper had just put away the painting and was about to leave. A maid ran over from behind, pointed at the woman in the painting and asked: "Butler, is this person really the assassin who assassinated the Queen Mother?"
"Yeah, what's the matter, Cuilian?"
"I seemed to have seen her in the house just now..." The maid named Cuilian looked panicked and confused, "Maybe I saw her because she disappeared in the blink of an eye."
The old housekeeper took a breath, his face became solemn, and he said seriously: "You are not allowed to make any announcement about this matter. Do you understand?"
Cuilian nodded quickly, how could she dare to speak out? She was just a little maid who still wanted to live.
The old housekeeper quickly took the portrait and went to see Huaibei.
*******
After Huang Beiyue came out of Huaibei Houfu, it was already dark.
She originally wanted to find an inn where she could stay for a day and sort out the chaotic thoughts in her mind, but on the bulletin board in front of the Hou Mansion, she saw a wanted notice with her portrait clearly painted on it!
The wanted order issued from Linhuai City was signed by Zhan Ye himself, arresting her, life or death.
I really didn’t expect that I would be wanted today.
In desperation, Huang Beiyue had no choice but to leave the city overnight to find a place to rest. There was no Ice Spirit Fantasy Bird, not even the Red Candle, and no summoned beasts. His movement speed would be reduced several times, which was too inconvenient.
She never understood why even Hongzhu couldn't hear her call even though she had signed a life contract?
Troubled by this problem, Huang Beiyue was alone on a branch in the wild thinking.
