As if he had expected it, Nan Muze was not too surprised. He just waved his hand and the secret guard retreated.
Liu Shengsheng narrowed her eyes, "He can escape. It seems that the killer this time is indeed extraordinary."
Nan Muze asked, "Aren't you going to let people in the palace help you find it?"
Liu Shengsheng smiled and said, "Are you making fun of me?"
"I'm asking you seriously." Nan Muze's face was full of doting.
Liu Shengsheng smiled and said: "We once again called a large group of people to catch the assassin before we caught him, and accidentally caused an uproar. If the people here can't find that person, they will turn into wolves." Here’s the story.”
As she spoke, she sighed softly, "So, since we can't capture the people anyway, we'll just tolerate them for once. Anyway, we can start from other directions."
"Oh? Do you have a good idea?"
Liu Shengsheng hooked her fingers and asked Nan Muze to come closer, and then whispered a few words into his ear.
Nan Muze stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, "You are as naughty as ever."
"I'm afraid you have to take action on this matter yourself, so that you can do it without anyone noticing."
"According to your."
"..."
That night was destined not to be peaceful.
About dawn, a scream suddenly resounded through the sky, causing half of the people in the palace to wake up suddenly, and a large group of soldiers hurriedly ran towards the palace where the screams came from.
That is the palace of the fifth prince Du Yang.
I saw him standing by the window in a state of embarrassment, pointing at the bed and yelling, "There are more down there! Catch them all for me, the prince, quickly!"
The palace maids were so frightened that they trembled. Finally, the guards who came in a hurry crawled under the bed. As a result, there were screams one after another after a while.
I saw countless poisonous insects crawling all over the body of the guard. Among the insects were spiders, centipedes, and even poisonous scorpions. There were so many that they were almost all over the bottom of the bed...
Even the usually well-trained palace maids were so frightened that they ran out of the palace.
Du Yang only wore a thin nightgown and ran out after a while. Severe pain came from several places on his body, but he had no time to cry out because there were many bugs crawling all over the bedroom. , existing in every corner of the palace!
Especially above the big bed, it was even more dark at the moment. The most conspicuous one was a small green snake. Just looking at it, it was obvious that it was a venomous snake.
Du Yang was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He clenched his fists and looked extremely ugly. "Who has entered my prince's palace today? Tell me quickly!"
The maids nearby fell to their knees, and the guards inside and outside also knelt on the ground, but almost everyone knew nothing about it.
The maids who were in charge of the palace were kowtowing in fear, but they kept saying that they really didn't know.
The palace maid guarding the door also said tremblingly: "Your Highness, the servants have been guarding the door. They have never seen any outsiders enter, and most of the people who entered were empty-handed. At most, they only went in to clean up, and there was nothing at all. People brought poison in!"
"Yes, Your Highness! There are so many bugs, no matter what, you have to put them in a basket. The slaves really don't know!"
"..."
Looking at the palace maids on the ground begging for mercy, Du Yang was filled with anger, "Why are you crying? It's been so long and you are still crying, why don't you quickly find a doctor for this prince!"
Hearing what he said, the palace maids hurriedly got up from the ground, and then rushed out to find the doctor.
Du Yang was in so much pain that his whole body was shaking, but he was too embarrassed to complain about the pain. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he just had someone find a chair and sit at the door of the palace.
Not long after, the guards inside came out one after another.
"See Your Highness, all the bugs have been caught!"
"They were all put into buckets, hiss, these are poisonous insects..."
"..."
The faces of the guards
None of them looked good. There were only three or four people catching bugs, but after they came out, the faces of the three or four people were equally pale. qδ.net
Apparently, they were bitten too.
But before the poison disappeared, they only felt pain at most, so they quickly knelt on the ground after coming out.
Du Yang clenched his fists and stepped forward to take a quick look, but as soon as he got closer, a frog suddenly jumped out.
Du Yang was frightened and took a big step back.
"Quack, quack..."
The frog jumped on his shoulder. For the first moment, he thought it was some poisonous insect, so he started to swat it without saying a word. However, after the swat failed, the frog jumped directly on top of his head.
All the surrounding servants lowered their heads in fear.
Du Yang slapped himself on the head with one palm.
"hiss……"
It hurts him so much!
The frog missed, but his head was so painful...
"Who is so cruel? They even caught frogs, so cruel!"
Du Yang clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Several of the guards on the ground fell down, foaming at the mouth. This frightened the palace ladies next to them, and they lowered their heads even further.
Du Yang stepped forward and kicked one of the guards, "Trash! A bunch of trash! Someone, take them down!"
As the poisoned guards were carried down, Du Yang suddenly felt dizzy, and then fell back without any strength.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
"Oh my god, His Highness fainted, please help His Highness into the bedroom quickly!"
"You can't go in! There were so many poisonous insects in there just now. What if there are still bugs inside that haven't been caught?"
"Then what should we do now?"
"The Emperor is about to go to court. He can only go to the Queen or His Highness the Crown Prince..."
"..."
The maids were in a hurry and it took a lot of effort to help Du Yang up.
The guards next to him brought a stretcher and were about to carry him out when two imperial doctors hurried in carrying medicine boxes.
Seeing the arrival of the imperial doctor, those individuals finally did not carry Du Yang out. Instead, they found a clean guest room, carried Du Yang in, and handed everything over to the imperial doctor.
Maybe it was because he screamed too loudly when he was bitten, or maybe the doctor came over and attracted someone's attention, but in just a short moment, the news that Du Yang was bitten by a poisonous insect quietly spread.
After dawn, the news spread directly throughout the palace.
Early in the morning, the queen happily came to the Qingxin Hall where Liu Shengsheng lived, and she also brought countless desserts.
"My mother heard that little girls nowadays like to eat all kinds of desserts. Yesterday, I specially asked the people in the imperial kitchen to prepare some more, and I will wait for them to be delivered to you after dawn. Which desserts do you want to try? Will you try them later? My mother often asks people to do it for you."
Liu Shengsheng had just woken up at that time. After washing up, she immediately sat down with the queen in the main hall to chat.
While tasting the dessert, she said: "The osmanthus-flavored one is quite delicious, the jasmine-flavored one is okay, but the rose-flavored one is the prettiest..."
Liu Shengsheng ate seriously and said, "Why is the queen so early?"
It's really early, and the genius is just starting to shine now.
Just hearing Wen Qiurou say with a smile: "Thinking that one day you will leave my mother's side and go back to live in Fengqing, my mother's heart is filled with mixed feelings, and she wants to use all the available time to spend more time with you. You won't Are you annoyed by your mother?"
The corner of Liu Shengsheng's mouth twitched, "What did the queen say? How could I dislike you?"
The key is, how dare she...
Wen Qiu smiled softly, "You, you, are always so polite..."
After a pause, she continued: "I heard that you left the palace yesterday. Did you go to do something?"
It turns out that I came here early in the morning to ask this question.
