Chapter 312: Angrily beheading the official of the imperial court
After taking the pulse, I learned that there was no danger of life in Zhuxi, and I felt relieved.
She stood up slowly, stared at Sun Dingxing closely, and narrowed her cold eyes slightly, "I followed orders, so you are innocent? Da Qingfa? Do you mean that I have bad morals?"
Her three consecutive questions, which were cold and bone-chilling, came so lightly, but to Sun Dingfa's ears, they sounded so weighty.
The woman in front of him exuded a powerful aura, and her compelling gaze made his eyes flicker and make him feel uncomfortable all over.
Shu Yao approached step by step, with cold hatred and murderous intent flashing across her cold eyes...
Sun Fuxing lowered his head, defenseless. Just as he was thinking about trying to explain something, suddenly, he heard a "pop" sound...
The big knife in Shu Yao's hand suddenly penetrated into Sun Fuxing's body.
"Ah!" Sun Fuxing groaned, holding his stomach, opening his huge eyes, staring at the powerful woman in front of him in disbelief, with a look of horror in his eyes. How dare she kill him in Dali Temple?!
"You..." Sun Fuxing pointed at Shu Yao with his bloody hand trembling, his eyes filled with shock and horror.
"What are you doing? I have long disliked you. If you hurt someone, you will have to pay the price!" Shu Yao's voice was like an icy hell, so cold that it penetrated people's hearts.
However, several officers and soldiers behind him were stunned in place, looking at the scene in horror, their mouths dumbfounded and their livers and gallbladders splitting.
The imperial concubine killed someone!
She actually killed the Dali envoy, Sun Fuxing, on the spot. How dare she?
After saying this, the knife inserted into Sun Dingfa's stomach was rotated neatly by Shu Yao and then slashed hard. His intestines gurgled out with red blood, which made his eyes hurt.
He was about to burst, had difficulty breathing, and blood spurted out from mouthfuls.
Shu Yao's slightly narrowed eyes showed a fierceness, "It's really an advantage for you to die like this. Under the circumstances, remember to go to the Empress Dowager to reason with you!"
Shu Yao suddenly pulled out the bleeding knife and threw it on the ground casually, while Sun Fuxing could only stare at his huge eyes and collapsed in a pool of cold blood...
This scene was suddenly noticed by Liang Jinghuan and Jiifeng who had just barged in.
"Master Sun!" Liang Jinghuan's heart trembled and he exclaimed.
Shu Yao's attack was as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning. It was too late for the two of them to stop her.
They could only watch Sun Fuxing die on the spot but could do nothing.
Liang Jinghuan was so shocked that he was stunned on the spot. He could not imagine that Shu Yao dared to kill the envoy of Dali Temple in such a solemn place.
How dare she?
Where did she get the courage?
How did she have such courage?
Is it because of His Majesty's influence?
Or does she think that His Majesty will not do anything to her?
Didn't she think that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty would force His Majesty to kill her if they knew about this?
Hasn't she thought about the consequences? Or is she not afraid of death at all?
Is it worth doing this for a maid? Or does she not care about His Majesty's feelings at all, nor does he care about the persecution of His Majesty by the officials in the court?
In just a moment, Liang Jinghuan thought about it from beginning to end. He thought about it thousands of times, thinking about all the consequences, and finally couldn't figure it out.
Shu Yao lowered her eyes and glanced at the corpse lying on the ground coldly, and said coldly: "Master Liang, my people were imprisoned in Dali Temple, and they were lynched by your people. If I hadn't come, would Zhuxi have
Did you die here? Don’t tell me, or you won’t know.”
Liang Jinghuan calmed down and was a little in awe of her powerful intimidation. This kind of momentum was only seen in His Majesty.
He kept his head calm, stepped forward slowly, and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, I really don't know."
Seeing this, Ji Feng hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him: "Mother, Master Liang really doesn't know. Yesterday, Master Sun sent him out on business. He only came back this evening. My subordinate happened to meet Master Liang at the door of his house."
Shu Yao glanced at him sideways and said in a cold voice, "That's best, you can handle this matter..."
"Also, I want to tell you that if the pearl is missing, it must be the same as the person who robbed Zhuxi."
When Liang Jinghuan heard this, he immediately lost his temper. He looked panicked and asked, "Pearl is missing? When did it happen?"
Shu Yao did not reply to his words, but looked at Ji Feng and said, "Take Zhuxi back with you!"
"Yes." Ji Feng nodded and replied.
"Empress?" Liang Jinghuan asked again, anxious.
Shu Yao took off her cloak and put it on Zhu Xi's body. When she turned around, Shu Yao heard Zhu Xi's faint breath coming from behind her, "Empress!"
Shu Yao turned around in response and heard Zhu Xi's weak voice saying: "Slave, slave, there's nothing... I can't do anything."
The voice was extremely soft, but Shu Yao heard it clearly, and every word struck her heart. At this moment, she suddenly felt a sour pain in her chest, which was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
Shu Yao carefully helped her straighten the cloak on her body, with loving eyes, and softly comforted her: "Okay, I know that Zhuxi has suffered, don't be afraid, I will take you home right now."
After Shu Yao finished speaking, she walked out without looking back.
Liang Jinghuan followed closely behind, with an anxious look on his face, and even his tone of voice was a little rushed, "My Lady, who stole the pearl? Where is she being held? You can tell me!"
Ji Feng held Zhu Xi in his arms and did not give Liang Jinghuan a good look, "Master Liang, if the empress knew where the pearl was, she would have rescued the pearl long ago. Are you still wasting her lips and tongue with you here?"
"This..." Liang Jinghuan was so choked that he couldn't say a word, but he didn't mean to stop. He followed behind them and asked closely: "Are you suspecting the Empress Dowager?"
On the way here, Ji Feng had already explained thoroughly that Zhuxi was taken away by the Empress Dowager's people. At this time, he heard Shu Yao say that the robbery of the pearl was closely related to the Empress Dowager. It was also obvious that their
The purpose is very clear, just to bring down Shu Yao.
"Although I have no evidence, Fei Qiyang and Ruoyan have already reached out to the palace, and the Queen Mother is their gunman. It is obvious that she has been used." Shu Yao coldly dropped a few words and turned around to disappear.
In the cell.
Liang Jinghuan was just about to raise his feet to chase after him, but he didn't expect another urgent call to come from behind him, "Master Liang!"
Liang Jinghuan then looked back and saw several officers and soldiers timidly pointing at the body of Sun Fuxing lying on the ground, wondering what to do.
Liang Jinghuan finally came to his senses. He couldn't leave. Master Sun's body was still lying there. He still needed to deal with the aftermath!
Less than a mile after walking out of Dali Temple, suddenly, the shadows of the surrounding trees swayed, Shu Yao's ears twitched, and her face suddenly became solemn, "Ji Feng, be careful, there is something wrong!"
"Empress!" Jie Feng also noticed the murderous aura surrounding him.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden gust of wind. Under the night, the silver light was shining, full of murderous intent. Shu Yao ducked sideways, and a dart passed by her hair.
"Your Majesty!" A flash of panic flashed in Jiifeng's eyes.
Shu Yao reacted quickly, and in a blink of an eye, her slender fingers caught the flying dart, and surprisingly there was a piece of letterhead tied to it.
The three men tightened their reins, and the horse roared and stopped.
Shu Yao looked around and felt that the murderous aura disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"It seems that their purpose is to deliver a message, not to assassinate." Jiifeng said cautiously, holding Zhuxi in his arms.
"Looking at this situation, it must be the case." After Shu Yao finished speaking, she picked up the throwing knife in her hand and quickly removed the letter paper.
When it was unfolded, a few lines of large characters suddenly appeared in front of the eyes, "If you want to save Pearl, you can only come to the ruined temple ten miles away. Shu Yao can only come here, otherwise, Pearl's life will not be saved."
Seeing Shu Yao's face gradually turning gloomy, Ji Feng suddenly realized that there might be news about Pearl, otherwise, her body would not exude the murderous aura.
"Empress, is there any news about the pearl?"
"Yes." Shu Yao said with a stern look on her face, "You take Zhuxi back to the palace first, and then ask an imperial doctor to treat her properly. I will be back soon."
"Empress, you may be in danger if you go alone. I am worried, so you should ask me to accompany you! There will be many people to take care of you." After Ji Feng finished speaking, he was about to release a flare into the air to summon other shadow guards.
.
Shu Yao immediately stopped him, "No, I'm going alone. You should return to the palace quickly." After saying that, she looked around and signaled with her eyes.
Ji Feng understood the meaning in his heart, and he knew that the person hiding in the dark might not be gone yet, "But, the empress is in danger alone... If His Majesty finds out, my subordinates..."
Shu Yao looked into the distance, feeling extremely sad in her heart. She said in a low voice: "I just hope that the third brother can come back soon..."
After saying that, Shu Yao shook her head to Jiifeng and warned: "Don't risk Pearl's life. Don't worry, I will definitely bring her back. Don't follow her again..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Yao squeezed the horse's belly with her legs, flicked the whip, and said, "Drive!"
The dark horse gallops away...
After about half an hour, Shu Yao rode a horse and arrived in front of a ruined temple ten miles away.
The ruined temple looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time. It was surrounded by overgrown grass and broken walls, and it was a dilapidated scene.
This place is inaccessible and few people pass by, so this should be the place where Pearl was kidnapped.
Shu Yao got off her horse and cautiously walked towards the ruined temple...
The sky gradually breaks, the earth is hazy, and the whole mountain seems to be shrouded in gauze smoke.
Shu Yao slowed down and was only a few steps away from the temple.
The cold wind mixed with a strong smell of blood came from the temple. Shu Yao frowned slightly. Surely something happened to Pearl?
The temple door was closed tightly, and Shu Yao approached slowly and cautiously.
Her bright eyes flashed, and she turned slightly. She did not push the door open, but kept a careful eye on it, raised her foot and kicked towards the temple door.
The moment the temple door opened, suddenly, a line of white smoke drifted past, and Shu Yao quickly stepped back and covered her mouth and nose.
Sure enough, someone had sprinkled poisonous powder on the door of the temple in advance. It was conceivable that the person who harmed her was plotting against her all the time.
After the medicine wears off, Shu Yao cautiously walks into the abandoned temple...
