The concubine who was the first to discover this was completely drained of blood.
He cast a frightened look at Mi.
In addition to her, the concubines who were nearby also realized that something was wrong.
Immediately, cold sweat broke out, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled unnaturally. He swallowed hard, and it took a lot of concentration to suppress the scream that was approaching his throat: "...I was busy drinking with the sisters, and I forgot that every time Wei'er would do this
You have to rely on me at all, and I, as a mother, shouldn’t do it. Ah Chuan, go to the side hall and see if Wei’er is making trouble, don’t let this willful little devil hurt his limbs..."
She tried her best to look normal, smiled and joked with her sisters, turned around, and told the maid to go to the side hall to check on the situation, conveying the meaning that only the master and the servant knew. The maid grew up with her, and they had a good understanding of each other.
.The surrounding concubines also secretly paid attention to her development, nervously pinching the veil.
The maid took the order and got up to go to the side hall.
Several people were about to breathe a sigh of relief.
"ah--"
The sudden change occurred the moment the maid stepped through the palace door with one foot. She heard a short, sharp scream, and a column of bright red blood spurted out from the wound in front of her. The maid's body leaned back following the force of the attack, and her entire upper body was tilted.
It was cut into two pieces, with only a little bit of skin still connected. A bunch of damaged organs lost the restraints of the skin and flowed out along the wound.
Warm blood gathered under the maid's body, and she fell into a pool of blood with a look of extreme horror on her delicate face.
There are endless silk and bamboo orchestral music in the hall.
Most of the girls didn't notice what happened at the palace gate.
It wasn't until a few screams were too sharp, and another person started banging the table, that the commotion became louder, and the musicians were so frightened that they stopped playing. Everyone looked at the person who stood up, knocking the table, and at this glance, they noticed one after another lying on the bed.
The body of the maid at the entrance of the palace.
The nearly detached death state of the corpse shocked their eyes.
Except for a few of the people here who come from relatively humble backgrounds, most of them are from good families. Quite a few of them were raised in a boudoir house during their childhood, and then worked as canaries in Wu Xian's backyard after they grew up. The storms of troubled times are blocked outside the courtyard wall.
They rarely have the opportunity to face bloody scenes. But this does not mean that they will be frightened by a corpse, even if someone asks.
The person who asked the crime was asked: "What happened?"
The other party looked at Mi with suppressed anger. She was too lazy to maintain the false peace and asked loudly: "What happened? This question should not be asked to me, but to you! Mi, what are your intentions today? Why did you send someone to kill me?"
maid?"
In his extreme anger, he even stopped using his honorific title.
Mi didn't show any offended anger, nor did she feel guilty about being caught. She was still as gentle as everyone was familiar with, but her words made people shudder: "Ah? It turns out that she is my sister's maid. It was a misunderstanding."
.It’s also because of her sneaky behavior that she was misunderstood as an assassin. As you sisters know, the country is in turmoil right now, the king is behind bars, and there are countless pairs of malicious eyes in the darkness. I am also worried that the bad guys will harm the palace.
Young and middle-aged children have to be vigilant."
Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this excuse.
The maid was a child of a family who had been serving concubines since she was a child. She was later promoted to a first-class maid and entered Wu Xian's house as a dowry. On weekdays, when the sisters visited the house, she always followed her master, and she looked familiar every time she went there. Not only her, but also her appearance and appearance.
It is impossible for the eldest maids around the beloved concubines to be mistaken for evildoers!
This is not manslaughter at all, it is clearly murder!
Mi has been holding the power of the inner court for these years and is familiar with the people in the palace. How could she not know the eldest maid next to her concubines?
This is absolutely telling lies with open eyes!
"Mi, what nonsense are you talking about!"
This response obviously did not satisfy the victimized concubine.
She was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and her movements were so large that she messed up Yun Zhucui's temples. Her anger was still rising: "I just asked her to go to the side hall to see Bian'er. How can you be so sneaky? Why are you like this?
You are vicious and want to kill someone like this in public? I really misjudged you. You are really a dog that can bark but doesn’t bite people. It’s a beast that can’t bark. One bite will kill someone!"
She usually looks down on Mi.
Even if Wu Xian arranged for her to be plated with gold in Xu Jie's mansion for the sake of good looks, and assumed the identity of an orphaned daughter of a distant relative of the Xu family, Mi's family was not too hated. First, she was born in a lowly position, and she was a dancer; second, she was a dancer.
First, Mi is timid and timid, so soft-tempered that she has almost no temper, and can only be gentle and petty; thirdly, Mi is not the most favored woman, and Wu Xian only accounts for 20% of Mi's favor at most.
On this point, she often persuaded Wu Xian to keep up with the rain and dew.
Especially after Wu Xian founded the country, Mi helped the queen take care of the inner court. Every time Wu Xian came to the inner court to rest, she arranged it well, even for the most unpopular concubines. Wu Xian's children were also here.
A few years have ushered in a blowout.
Almost every woman in the inner court had one or more children.
Mi is generous and fair, and everyone admires her.
As time goes by, people who don't like Mi will have to admit that Mi has done a better job than the previous queen. It's not that the first queen suppressed any woman, or that she murdered any child, but that Mi has done better than the previous queen.
The queen is more humane... If Mi didn't have enough family power to back her up, she would basically be Wu Xianli's only candidate to succeed him.
Admit it, admit it, but deep down I still look down on it.
The concubine who was victimized this time was one of them.
He looked down on Mi, but fell in love with her and got pregnant twice.
Mi said: "You drank too much, please wake up at the bar."
It's an understatement, but it makes people feel scared.
"Mishi——"
"Didn't any of the waiters see it? You ladies are drunk right now! You're starting to talk nonsense!" Mrs. Mi pressed the cup in her hand heavily on the table, making a muffled sound when it touched the velvet cloth. "If it disturbs the nobles here,
Your lives are not enough to compensate!”
"Mi, what did you do to Wei'er!"
This question made everyone's hearts hang.
Everyone here is not a brainless person. When they saw this posture, they guessed that today's situation was not going to be fatal and a maid could stop it. Then when they thought about the silence in the side hall, the concubines who came to the banquet with their children were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their minds were racing. Countless bloody scenes passed by like watching a lantern, and each frame showed severed limbs and arms lying in a pool of blood, as well as a child's head with the facial features of their child!
Mi: "Bian'er is fine and was coaxed to sleep by her wet nurse."
Her voice is still gentle and gentle.
The next sentence changed, and the words he spat out were like poisonous snakes crawling on the backs of the girls, crawling around their necks, crawling to their ears and swallowing the snake's message: "However, if you are still drunk and unwilling to sober up, why don't you drink some soothing soup and have a good night's sleep? Already."
The implication is that you may have a good sleep for a lifetime.
In the hall, you can hear a needle drop.
The concubine, who was relatively close to the palace gate, noticed that there were many silhouettes of guards reflected outside the window, which was far beyond the scale that should be used to guard a palace. Judging from the silhouettes, they were all armed with armor and swords, and were fully armed! This was a group of guards. A Hongmen Banquet!
"Mrs. Mi, what are you doing?"
The concubine who was seated closest to Mi spoke.
Mi said, "Sisters, please gather together in the hall for a night."
After speaking, she smiled and clapped her hands.
The musicians were ordered to continue playing.
Two burly warrior guards also quietly came in, and one half of them carried away the body of the maid. The hanging organs dragged dirty traces on the ground. Several people who witnessed this scene had their throats spasmed, and they were overcome with a strong desire to vomit. interest.
"Getting together all night? Do you want to rebel and bloodbath the palace?"
"It doesn't have to be a bloodbath." Mi still smiled gently and harmlessly, "Sisters, you don't know the worldly affairs. These people below clean a palace, and it will take hundreds of jars of water."
Even if the blood of everyone here is drained, it won't be enough to clean them.
Although it was a joke, no one laughed.
Mi, she is really determined to kill everyone.
The window reflects the longing shadows of people.
They were like beasts ready to attack, looking directly at their vital points with greedy eyes. At any time, they would stretch out their sharp claws to break open the breastbone, take out the heart, tear open the flesh, and feast on them.
The concubine who was choked first glanced sideways at Mi, then suddenly stood up and broke out, grabbing a delicate porcelain plate and breaking it, then picked up the largest and sharpest piece and pointed it at Mi. A series of actions could not hide her nobility. She Her red lips were slightly parted, her beautiful eyes full of sarcasm, and she looked directly into Mrs. Mi's eyes: "Haha, it's enough to just make it happen, so that the people below can save some money. I just don't know if Mrs. Mi has the courage? Do you dare to do it?" Slaughter all of us here with the sword, and kill all of the king's bloodline! Mi, do you dare? Do you have the courage?"
Her anger burst out from her chest!
"The fox pretends to be the tiger's power!"
"bluff!"
"Ms. Mi, I bet you don't dare!"
It's not tiring to even think about Mi with her toes.
Which one of you here has no oblique relationship with the officials of the foreign court?
Either the daughter or sister of this family, or the distant in-law of that family, or if not, someone else’s adopted daughter or someone’s adopted sister!
If you really kill everyone present and all the children they gave birth to, what is the difference between completely breaking with the foreign court of Gao? Do you still want to escape unscathed? You don't really think that killing all the descendants of Wu Xian who were not born by the Mi family will be the leader of the country.
Can it fall on her son?
An heir who is not recognized by civil and military officials is nothing!
They could even completely deny the bloodline of Mi's son, arrange several lovers for Mi, and then let the lovers serve as witnesses. As long as everyone says that these lovers were good during Mi's dancing period, and they will continue to be disconnected after that, and even
Wu Xian was cuckolded, who can prove that Mi's son is Wu Xian's son?
Let Wu Xian fly back from the Kangguo camp to prove it?
Or some ridiculous blood test?
No, what matters is not the truth!
The important thing is that Mi and her son will die miserably!
For a time, the atmosphere was tense and tense to the critical point.
Everyone was waiting for Mi's reaction.
Unexpectedly, she just smiled.
The laughter went from light to heavy, from small to loud, and even had a bit of madness and indulgence. From a close distance, you could see the rolling dots of her eyes. She was laughing with tears in her eyes. Mi Shi stayed for a long time.
Then he stopped, and while dabbing the water stains in the corners of his eyes gracefully with a handkerchief, he endured the soreness of his cheeks and said, "I don't dare you to bet? Do you know what gambling is? It's not just opening your mouth and holding a sharp piece of debris, it's gambling.
When a real gambler goes to the gambling table, who doesn’t put his hands and feet on it?”
Among the people, there are too many such gamblers.
After Mi finished speaking, she pulled out the sword hidden under the table in a panic, and approached the opponent step by step, but the opponent was retreating steadily.
"Don't expect to get off the gambling table intact!" Mi, who looked fragile, was holding the sword extremely steadily at this moment. The older concubine recalled a certain detail at an inappropriate time. Mi was dancing with a sword on a drum.
After catching Wu Xian's eyes, she held the sword firmly, "It's just one life, do you really think it's a bargaining chip? How do you know that I can't afford to gamble or lose?"
It’s not that he is ruthless enough to kill everyone, nor is he afraid of death.
As early as the fourth son told her that she would risk her life for a "collapse", when the second son told her that she could understand the fourth brother, and when she realized that she didn't understand her own flesh and blood at all, she didn't care about anything. These children are the support
Her spiritual support for surviving these years is everything in her world.
When her spiritual pillar collapsed, her world completely collapsed!
If her flesh and blood are dead, what's the point of living for her?
If she kills all these people, she will be torn apart by the angry ministers tomorrow; if she doesn't kill, her son can fulfill his long-cherished wish, but - what happens after doing so? How many of them, mother and son, can resist Kang Guo's cavalry? Can they stop Gao Guo?
The pace of destruction? Nothing can be done!
The final outcome is death.
The outcome was doomed the moment her son became ambitious!
The only difference is sooner or later!
so--
Mi looked at the snow-white Hibiscus face on the edge of the sword and smiled, her smile as gentle and watery as usual: "Are you shaking?"
Bang!
The pieces of the porcelain plate in the concubine's hand fell to the ground and exploded into three pieces.
Mi lowered his eyes for a moment, and held on for a few more breaths before taking back his sword.
"Musician, keep playing!"
The palace that had been quiet for a long time once again sounded elegant music.
However, this time there was no excitement of changing cups and cups. Instead, there was only panic and inability to eat, worrying about their own situation and the whereabouts of their children. No one dared to act rashly, and they could only endure it when they sat stiffly, especially since they clearly felt it.
The ground shakes from time to time, metal collisions are mixed with shouts of death, sometimes far away, sometimes close, and several firelights are reflected outside the window...
They recognized that this was a fight between warriors.
This place is the inner court, but the sounds of fighting can be heard.
Everyone clearly expected what happened at this moment.
"It's a palace coup. There are rebels who want to seize the palace!"
Mi spoke abruptly and gave the answer.
One doubt is solved, and another puzzle arises.
Who is the rebel mentioned by Mi?
The concubines who had children who were adults or close to adulthood closed their eyes in despair and kept praying in their hearts that the children were not their own. They did not blame the children for doing this, but they were worried that if they met the well-prepared Mi family, they would have little chance of winning and would be wasted.
life.
The answer came quickly.
The minister who was about to receive the news rushed over but was stopped by the imperial army.
"My lords, please rest assured, the traitors have been captured!"
"Who is the traitor?"
The Forbidden Army had obviously been told: "It's the Fifth Young Master."
The Fifth Young Master who supervises the country bribed the guards in the outer court, but when he entered the inner court, he was stopped by the loyal people, and the two sides started a fierce conflict. As soon as the ministers heard this, they knew what the Fifth Young Master was going to do, and they wanted to be the first to do so.
One step, kill the young master who is about to succeed to the throne before the morning court! With such explosive palace secrets, he will not even lose his face by killing his younger brother to seize the throne.
The minister worriedly asked: "What about the fifth young master?"
The Imperial Guard said: "We have been captured, and the inner court is safe."
The Fifth Young Master caught everyone off guard, and the other brothers who were thoughtful or prepared to take action were all shocked!
Since there was no news from the inner court, they thought that the reason why the rebellion was put down so quickly was definitely because of the back-up force left by their old father Wu Xian! Lao Wu alerted the enemy, and if he took action again, he would be courting death.
No matter how unwilling I am, I can only endure it.
Bear it through the night.

I passed all the test questions today, and I feel like I can pass Section 1 in one go.
