Shuying's eyes were full of guilt and self-blame, "The pearl... was robbed... by a stranger... and taken away. My subordinate is incompetent..."
He was lying on the ground, his breath was disordered and his heartbeat was racing. He knew that the poison had entered his heart and he would soon die.
Seeing this, Shu Yao quickly came to the dressing table, took out a black pill from the box, then walked to Shuying in a few steps, and directly stuffed the pill into his mouth, "Take the Baidu Pill."
, can detoxify your body."
Shuying was so moved that he covered his chest with his hands and said with difficulty: "The poison of my subordinate has penetrated into my heart. No matter how powerful the Hundred Poison Pills are, they are useless... Why should I waste one for my subordinates?"
Hundred Poison Pills."
"This Baidu Pill was developed just to save my own people. Don't think too much about it..." Shu Yao changed the subject and asked hurriedly: "Do you know who stole the pearl?"
"My subordinates fought with her for more than a hundred rounds. However, she knew how to use poison, and I was defeated. He was hit by her poisonous smoke. The person's face was covered. Judging from her figure, she was a woman..."
"Woman?!" Shu Yao narrowed her eyes and had doubts in her heart. With the skills of Pearl and Shuying, it would be impossible for ordinary masters to easily defeat them unless they used poison.
It’s hard not to doubt Ruoyan!
The shadow of the tree was gasping for breath, "Yes...that woman said something when she took away the pearl..."
Shu Yao asked urgently: "What are you talking about?"
"She said... you will meet again..." Before she could finish her words, the tree shadow's eyes suddenly went dark, and she swallowed her breath without even taking a breath.
"Tree shadow!" Shu Yao's heart sank, with a look of urgency on her face.
Looking at the dead tree shadow, Shu Yao's heart was heavy and sad, and she swore in her heart that she would peel off the skin and cramps of the person behind the scenes to comfort the tree shadow's spirit in heaven.
"Empress!" Suddenly, a series of rapid footsteps came.
At this time, Zhuju also ran over anxiously from outside. When she saw the body of the shadow guard on the ground, Zhuju turned pale with fear.
Shu Yao frowned and looked at her, suddenly having a bad feeling: "What's the matter?"
Zhuju replied in a panic: "Mother, Zhuxi is missing!"
"When did it happen?" Upon hearing this, Shu Yao's heart suddenly sank.
Zhuju was anxious and her breath was already disordered. "After lunch, I didn't see her again! The servants searched the entire courtyard and other palaces, but they couldn't find her. It wasn't until later that the empress was grounded...
This slave is truly sure that Zhuxi is really missing..."
"Why did you say that?"
"I thought... I didn't dare to think so much..." Zhuju became uneasy, tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing Zhu Ju blaming herself so much that she almost cried, Shu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was also negligent."
Shu Yao's heart was as clear as a mirror, her beautiful eyes were stained, and her voice was cold, "Zhu Xi is a measured girl. She won't run around. There must be someone with ulterior motives behind the scenes who is gradually attacking my people..."
"Then, who could it be?" When Zhuju heard this, she was immediately frightened. They had no grudge against anyone, so why would such a thing happen in the palace?
The more Zhuju thought about it, the angrier she became. The words she had hidden in her heart burst out at this moment, "Yinu, I see, they just want to bully the empress while His Majesty is not in the palace."
Even the maid can guess it. How smart is Shu Yao? How could he not know? How could he not know?
At this time, Ji Feng, who was going out to do something, suddenly appeared. When he saw the dead tree shadow on the ground, his eyes darkened for a moment, and he even swallowed: "Mother, the tree shadow..."
"My condolences!" Shu Yao said briefly and concisely, with piercing eyes and a voice as cold as a knife, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge the dead tree shadow."
Ji Feng's eyes turned red, "Your Majesty!"
Shu Yao took out a few silver notes from the jewelry box, then handed them to his hand, and said: "You bury Shuying well, his family is so kind, there are one thousand taels of silver notes here, you give them to his family
.”
"I would like to thank your empress for Shu Ying!" Ji Feng nodded and lowered his eyebrows, feeling heavy.
When faced with such a dangerous incident, Shu Yao always kept a clear mind and remained calm, "Also, you go and help me do something now."
Jifeng nodded and clasped his fists, with a solemn expression on his face, "Please give me your instructions."
Shu Yao was so anxious that she made a quick decision: "The disappearance of Zhuxi must have nothing to do with Cining Palace. To ensure that I hit the target, go and help me check who took him away and where he was imprisoned."
"Also, if Pearl was hijacked, they must be working together inside and outside."
Ji Feng was startled for a moment, then immediately agreed, "Yes, I will do it right now." After Ji Feng finished speaking, he leaned over and picked up Shu Ying's body, and instantly retreated.
After the people left, Zhuju asked in shock and confusion: "Madam, there are guard handles at the door, and Jifeng walks in and out like walking on the ground. How did you manage not to be discovered?"
"That's because they have great martial arts skills and are good at hiding and camouflage. Those guards with mediocre martial arts skills can't detect them."
Shu Yao's cold eyes narrowed slightly, and her cold voice became gloomy in this silent palace, "There was public opinion in the past, there was grounding in the back, and then the pearl was robbed, and Zhuxi disappeared inexplicably. All of this was done in a watertight manner,
They were linked together and they were fast enough. Before we had time to react, they had already pushed us to the edge."
"I'm afraid that our old lady from Cining Palace is the accomplice of Fei Qiyang and Duyan."
Zhuju was confused when she heard this, and then she realized it and said, "Mother, are you saying that they have colluded together to deal with us?"
"yes!"
Zhuju was panicked and anxious, "What about Pearl? How can we save her?"
Shu Yao tried not to get confused and analyzed and judged calmly, "Don't worry, their target is me, not Zhuzhu and Zhuxi. They want to use the people around me to force me to submit and accept them.
Contain and then destroy this palace."
She exhaled a thick breath and continued: "What we have to do now is wait for the news from Zifeng."
An hour later, Zifeng came back urgently with a message, "Mother, we have found it."
Shu Yao took a few steps forward and asked eagerly: "How?"
"Your Majesty, the shadow health organizations distributed all over the country have found out that the Empress's maid Zhuxi was taken away by the Queen Mother's decree and was also imprisoned in Dali Temple. Her subordinates went to see her. She was used for a lot of reasons.
Punishment..." Jiifeng truthfully told Shu Yao everything he learned.
It turns out that the Shadow Guards are located in various important central agencies in the five provinces. Through secret information exchanges, they quickly found out where Zhuxi was imprisoned.
During the day, Zhuxi was taken for questioning by someone who claimed to be the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace.
As a result, this question lasted all afternoon, and they have not been released yet. Later, Zhuxi made some treacherous remarks, and was beaten by the Empress Dowager and thrown into Dali Temple...
Moreover, they also imposed various punishments on her, forcing her to admit that Shu Yao was having an affair with Bei Mingye, and coerced and induced her to sign the forged testimony...
Zhuxi refused to say anything, so he was tortured by the envoys of Dali Temple.
When Shu Yao heard this, she was furious. She turned around and went back behind the screen, put on a white cloak, and when she came out again, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Master, where are you going?" Jifeng asked.
"Dali Temple!" Shu Yao said briefly and concisely, but her voice was unusually cold.
Seeing this, Zhuju asked anxiously: "Empress, you are still grounded. The people guarding the outside are all officers and soldiers of Cining Palace. How can you get out?"
The arrogance in Shu Yao's eyes was not hidden, and she sneered and let out a disdainful sneer from her nose, "Humph! How can a few guards defeat me? I accepted the imperial decree, but that doesn't mean that I
You will just accept it."
"I will go and fish her out personally. No matter what her identity is, even if the King of Heaven comes, I will never stop her." The majesty she exudes is like that of an arrogant and unruly queen, making people dare not disobey her.
Ji Feng followed behind her, quickened his pace, and said, "Your Majesty, I will accompany you!"
Shu Yao walked to the door and stopped, turned to look at Jiifeng, and gave the order solemnly, "Assign a shadow guard to tell His Majesty everything that happened here in detail..."
"Just say that if you don't come back, your woman will kill everyone in the palace who is hostile to her, including your elderly grandmother and the people from Dali Temple."
The woman in front of him had a fierce look in her eyes. Ji Feng was immediately shocked by his master's terrifying aura, "Yes!"
This terrifying aura can only be seen on His Majesty's body. He did not expect that he could also see it on His Majesty's body.
The moment the door was opened, the officers and soldiers outside the door immediately placed swords on their waists and swords across the door, and said sternly: "The Empress Dowager has decreed that the empress is confined to Qiancheng Palace and is not allowed to step out of the door."
"Anyone who stops me will die!" Shu Yao's cold eyes glared, shocking the two guards to fear. How could the woman in front of them have such a strong aura? Her cold eyes directly struck people's hearts.
The shock power was definitely not inferior to that of the current emperor. The soldier trembled in shock, and the sharp sword in his hand also trembled, but he did not put it away. Instead, he was not afraid of death and crossed his two swords to block Shu Yao.
the way to go.
If she was let out at this time, their heads would definitely be in danger.
"The Empress Dowager... has a purpose..." Just as they were pressing forward step by step in order to recover their lives, Shu Yao suddenly shouted loudly, "Seeking death!"
Immediately, she swept away with a powerful internal force in one hand, and the howling wind hit their chests...
puff
Facing the powerful internal force, the two of them were instantly knocked away ten meters away and fell heavily to the ground, vomiting blood.
Shu Yao passed by them indifferently, and coldly put down a harsh word, "Go back and tell the old lady that when I come back, I will settle the score with her, and let her wash her neck and wait for me."
The woman in front of them was like a demon. The two of them were so frightened that they clutched their chests and backed away. They had never seen such a ruthless and determined woman who dared to kill in a sacred place like the palace.
Even the Empress Dowager doesn’t take it seriously!
In fact, Shu Yao was quite polite to them. In modern times, as a gang leader, how could she be so merciless and kill a person as easily as crushing an ant?
After leaving the palace, we drove straight to Dali Temple at high speed.
The night was so thick that it smeared like ink, the sky was freezing and the ground was freezing, and the chill was overwhelming.
Next to the Dali Temple, four guards were on duty. When they saw Shu Yao and his party approaching the Dali Temple, they immediately pointed their swords alertly, "Who is coming? Are you allowed to break into the Dali Temple?"
Ji Feng quickly protected Shu Yao and scolded her harshly: "How dare you, the Imperial Concubine is here, how dare you make a mistake and stop her?"
Just when several guards were confused about what to do, the door of Dali Temple opened with a creak, and at this time, a middle-aged man walked out.
The man looked to be in his fifties, with a straight back, a slight stubble on his face, dark skin, and a pair of bright eyes under his thin eyebrows, which were very sharp.
When Ji Feng saw the person coming, he hurriedly approached Shu Yaofu and said, "Madam, he is Sun Dingfa, the envoy of Dali Temple."
