She didn't know who these people were looking for, but her intuition told her that these four assassins were definitely not good people. If they discovered her existence, they would most likely kill her and silence her, even though she didn't even know what they looked like.
have no idea.
At this moment, the four assassins searched the entire palace, but still found nothing. They stood in the room to discuss for a moment. The leader looked around, and his eyes suddenly fell on the clothes beside the bed... those belonged to the eunuch.
clothing.
If the clothes are not worn, the person must still be in this palace. The leader of the black-clothed assassins' eyes darkened. Even if their target is not the eunuch, their whereabouts must not be discovered, and they must be eradicated!
The leader held the blade and slowly walked towards the bed. He reached out and picked up the eunuch's clothes, looked at them and threw them to the ground.
Xiao Lezi lay motionless under the bed. She stared closely at the black boots that were very close at hand. Her heartbeat was so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.
Her hands holding the scissors were trembling slightly, and she didn't dare to take a breath. She was on the line between life and death.
The assassin leader swept around the bed, raised his sword, and plunged it into the bed!
With a squeaking sound, the blade tore the sheets, inserted into the bed board, and grazed Xiao Lezi's cheek!
Xiao Lezi only felt a cold wind blowing by her cheeks. When she came back to her senses, she saw the gleaming blade right next to her eyes. As long as she moved a little, her head would be cut in half.
Like cutting a watermelon.
She was lying on her back stiffly, and a cut was scratched on her cheek by the blade. Blood overflowed little by little, falling down her cheek and onto the back of her hand.
She remained motionless and couldn't help but roar wildly in her heart. Damn it, she was almost scared to death. If she did it again, she could go directly to see the Buddha!
Just when the assassin leader was about to stab him a second time, there was suddenly a fierce knock on the door of the palace: "Open the door quickly!"
The four assassins were shocked and did not dare to stay any longer. They decisively turned around and jumped out of the window to run away.
After they left, Xiao Lezi crawled out from under the bed with a slight trembling. The shouting outside the door continued, and the door was about to be broken in. She had no time to tie her breasts.
Damn it, I can only hide for a while!
The bed had been turned into a chicken coop. She didn't dare to hide under the bed anymore, so she ran to the window in a panic, put her hands on the window lattice, and clumsily climbed out of the window like a turtle.
This window faced a bamboo forest. As soon as her feet landed on the ground, she heard the sound of the door breaking from the palace, and the guards seemed to have forced their way in.
She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she turned around and ran deep into the bamboo forest. She was now only wearing a thin white tunic with a blouse on top, her bare feet were wearing a pair of sleeping shoes, her hair was disheveled, and the wounds on her face were still there.
He was bleeding continuously, holding scissors in his hand, and the back of his hand was covered in blood. At first glance, he looked like a crazy woman who had just killed someone.
If someone saw this, she wouldn't have to say anything, just use the scissors to cut herself, so as not to scare the children again.
She ran around in a panic and didn't know how long she ran. When she came to her senses, she no longer knew where she was. At this moment, the sky was already turning white, and it was going to be dawn soon. She didn't know if Xiao Feng would return now.
Is he in the East Palace? If he goes back and doesn't see her, will he send someone out to look for her?
Xiao Lezi sat down to rest and thought wildly. The cold wind blew and made her shiver all over. She would have dragged out the quilt if she had known better!
She tightened her collar, sniffed, looked up and looked around, and found a small door in front of her.
She walked over curiously and looked out through the small door. She saw a backyard. The palace opposite the backyard had lights on, but there was no one in the yard. She didn't know whose backyard this was.
God bless me, I hope it's not Qingyuan Palace. She never wants to meet that stinky girl Yan Nichang at this time!
Xiao Lezi sneaked into the backyard, approached the window, dipped some saliva on his fingers, poked the window paper, and peeked inside through the small hole. There was a woman changing clothes, but this woman's back was turned to her.
Can't see the specific appearance.
Xiao Lezi frowned. This woman looked familiar from the back. She was sure she knew her.
At this time, the woman had changed her clothes and turned around. Xiao Lezi saw her face clearly and was stunned. It turned out to be Qing Yi whom he hadn't seen for a long time!
"Your Majesty, the little princess has gone to bed, and the wet nurse is guarding her."
Qing Yi sat down at the dressing table and asked the palace maid to comb her hair. She asked casually: "I heard that an assassin has come to the palace. I need to send more people to guard the little princess. By the way, the people who were sent out to find out the information will come back."
Yet?"
The palace maid lowered her head and replied: "Don't worry, guards have been arranged for the little princess. Safety is not a problem. Xiao Qizi went out to inquire about the news and has not returned yet, but I guess he will be back soon."
They chatted for a while, and Xiaolezi was leaning against the window. She couldn't bear the cold. She sniffed gently and accidentally sneezed!
As soon as the sound came out, everyone in Qing Yi and others in the palace were startled. Qing Yi was about to call someone, but Xiao Lezi quickly opened the window, stuck his head in, and said with a sad smile: "Don't scream, don't scream, it's me.
Not an assassin!"
Seeing that it was her, Qing Yi gave up the idea of calling someone over, held up the hem of her skirt and walked quickly to the window, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Lezi sniffed again: "It's hard to explain in words."
"You come in first," Qing Yi quickly asked someone to open the door and welcomed Xiao Lezi in. Seeing her in a miserable state, with half of her face covered in blood, Qing Yi was really shocked.
Qing Yi asked someone to bring hot water and help her clean the wound. She also found medicine for the wound and applied it to her. The bleeding was finally stopped.
Qing Yi looked at her hand again. She shook the blood on the back of her hand and said with a smile: "There is no wound. This is the blood on my face. Just wash it and it will be fine."
After she had cleaned up, Qing Yi dismissed all the maids, sat at the table and made her a cup of hot tea: "Drink it, warm yourself up."
Xiao Lezi held the tea bowl in both hands and drank a few sips before his body felt better: "Thank you for the rescue."
"You helped me last time, and I have paid off this time," Qing Yi's eyes swept across her chest. Her clothes were very loose, so the curves of her body were not obvious, but if you look closely,
If so, you can still easily see the clues.
Xiao Lezi felt a little uncomfortable when she saw him. He put down his tea bowl and said with an embarrassed smile: "I'm sorry to disturb you this time. I will leave later and I will never implicate you."
"Your daughter?"
Five words were asked lightly by Qing Yi. Although it was a question, her tone was affirmative.
Xiao Lezi didn't expect that she would ask such a direct question. He was stunned on the spot, then shrank his shoulders and nodded gently, which was regarded as admission.
Qing Yi was shocked and looked at her speechlessly: "You are so brave."
Xiao Lezi touched his nose angrily: "I can't help it, I'm forced by life."
Seeing her touching her nose, Qing Yi was stunned again, and her expression suddenly became a little subtle: "I still remember what you said to me when I first met you. You said you were from Qingzhou?"
Xiao Lezi was most afraid of being asked about her life experience. When she suddenly heard her question, she immediately tensed up and nodded stiffly.
"You also told me that your surname is Xiao?"
Xiao Lezi was dumbfounded. When she said this surname, she was just making it up casually. Who knew that Qing Yi would suddenly turn into a concubine? Xiao is a royal surname. If she admits that her surname is Xiao now, Qing Yi will just
After a little checking with someone in the palace, Qing Yi will expose her lies.
I wiped it off, but it was difficult to remove!
She held it in for a long time, and finally moved the corner of her mouth with difficulty, pretending to smile easily: "How could it be that my surname is Xiao? When I first met you at that time, I didn't think too much about it, so I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously."
This answer was obviously expected, Qing Yi smiled faintly: "Then what is your real name?"
Numb, is she trying to push labor and management to a dead end?! Xiao Lezi secretly wiped a cold sweat: "After so many years, no one has asked me for my full name. You suddenly ask about it, I am
I really can’t remember it all of a sudden.”
"Really?" Qing Yi helped her fill the tea bowl, and did not ask any more about the matter, but changed the topic, "There are guards everywhere now. If you run back like this, I'm afraid you will get into trouble.
.If you don’t mind it, I’ll have someone prepare a set of clothes for you. After you change, you can sneak back to the East Palace in the chaos. How about that?”
Xiao Lezi immediately smiled and said, "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."
Qing Yi called a palace maid in and ordered her to go down. After a while, the palace maid came back with a set of clean eunuch uniforms.
Xiao Lezi picked up her clothes and walked behind the screen to get more cheerful. Qing Yi, who was sitting at the table, stood up and walked slowly to the edge of the screen. She quietly took a step forward and saw Xiao Lezi changing her clothes with her back to her.
After Xiao Lezi took off his clothes, his smooth and jade-like back was revealed, as well as the small spider mark on his back.
Light pink, only the size of a thumb, with eight long legs, very vivid.
This is the birthmark that Qu Le had from birth.
She is indeed his sister! Qing Yi was so excited that she couldn't hold it in any longer and rushed over quickly, hugging her sister tightly, her voice choked with sobs: "Sister, I have finally found you!"
Xiao Lezi was startled, turned around and looked over, and saw that she was hugging him and crying, and was even more at a loss: "If you have something to say, please tell me, you...why are you crying?!"
Qing Yi kept crying: "Ale, my sister misses you so much. Why do you refuse to recognize your sister when you see her?!"
Xiaolezi didn't know why: "What are you talking about? I'm not your sister. You got the wrong person."
"It's already come to this, and you're still arguing with me," Qing Yi wiped away her tears and glared at her angrily, then took a mirror and showed her the spider mark on her back.
"This is your birthmark. It's been there since you were born. It's unique in the world. I can tell it's you just by looking at it. You're still pretending to be stupid with me!"
Xiao Lezi looked through the mirror and saw the pale pink spider mark. He was stunned on the spot. Why didn't he know that he still had such a birthmark on his body? When did this thing appear? (To be continued)
