While Zeren and Jin Qing were discussing the price of the wolf tooth necklace in the tent, they heard a loud noise outside the tent.
The sound was loud but seemed very far away, because Jin Qing couldn't hear what they were saying at all.
Jin Qing and Zeren ignored the noisy voice until a slave rushed in from outside the tent and said: "T-Touchee, there are intruders in the royal court. Your four maids, no, no." "
This slave obviously knew how powerful Jin Qing was. He stuttered and stammered in his words, and finally managed to express his meaning clearly.
After hearing this man's words, Zeren, who was sitting on the ground arguing with Jin Qing over the price, suddenly stood up and grabbed the slave's neck: "What did you say?"
The slave was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and fainted.
There is a river flowing in the royal court. This river comes from the high mountains and supplies water to the entire royal court.
Everyone in the royal court draws water from this river.
Even if you do laundry, cooking, cleaning dishes, and processing animal skins, most of them will be done by this river.
At this time, Jin Qing stood by the river, looking coldly at the dozen corpses by the river, four of which belonged to Wan Tao and the others.
The death scenes of the people in Bandao were extremely miserable. Their eyes were wide open, their stomachs were cut open with a knife, and their internal organs were spilled all over the floor.
Zeren knelt beside Wan Tao, silently cleaning up Wan Tao's spilled organs, then picked up Wan Tao and walked outside the royal court.
After more than a year's trip to the Central Plains, Zeren and Wantao got along day and night. Zeren saw Wantao's gentleness, wit, bravery, and loyalty. Zeren felt warmth and heartbeat in Wantao.
The reason why Zeren stayed in Jin Qing's tent just now was because he wanted to ask Wantao a question: This time he went to the battlefield. If he was lucky enough to come back alive, he might be missing an arm or a leg. By then, Will this woman be willing to spend the rest of her life with him?
Zeren once saw his mother die in depression, so his future home will be very small, and the small one can only accommodate Wan Tao alone.
He didn't care that Wan Tao had a miscarriage before. He just wanted to take Wan Tao home and live a good life with her, and let Wan Tao give birth to a baby for him.
But now, there is nothing.
Jin Qing watched Zeren take away Wan Tao's body without saying a word: For Jin Qing, this was the first time someone close to her was killed under her nose.
Seeing the slaves wrapping the bodies of the people on the ground with white cloth, Jin Qing walked to stand in front of an intruder wearing exotic clothes.
The slave next to him saw Jin Qing approaching and shrank into a ball in fear: "Sir"
Jin Qing stood there and looked at it for a long time. It turned out that the corpses on the ground, except those of Wan Tao and the four others, all belonged to the intruders.
After wrapping Qianru, Ximei, and Yicui on the ground with sheets, Jin Qing returned to his tent without saying a word, as if nothing had happened.
Only 707 squatted in Jin Qing's sea of consciousness, silently saying nothing: his host doesn't seem to be in a happy mood right now.
That day, as night fell, Princess Afaf, the princess of a neighboring country, finished her prayers for the day and walked from her prayer room to her tent. As she walked, she asked the maid next to her: "What's going on over there now."
The maid heard her master's voice and hurriedly stepped forward to reply: "Toffee, after seeing that everyone around her was dead, Rouran carried the bodies of three people directly back to the tent and has not come out until now." I really don't know How did this Central Plains woman get such strength to be able to carry three people away together?
Afaf frowned when he heard this: "Have you never left the tent?"
The maid hurriedly responded: "Yes, she has been staying in the tent with three dead people. I don't know what she was thinking."
Afaf smiled disdainfully after hearing this: "Maybe she's crazy." What else could the pretentious woman think about? Most of the people around her were dead. There won't even be anyone to talk to in the future. It is estimated that the woman is about to die this time. Alright
After that, Afaf stopped talking. The maid looked at Afaf's peaceful expression and instantly understood what she meant, and carefully waited for her to return to the tent.
Before entering the tent, Afaf turned back and looked at the maid: "Let them go find out more about the woman." As long as the woman doesn't die, she will have trouble sleeping here.
Who would have thought that as soon as Afaf finished speaking, he heard a voice from inside the tent: "If you want to know the news about me, just come and ask me. Why bother to find other people."
Afaf was shocked and grabbed the scimitar beside him: "Who is it?"
Afaf doesn't like Rouran, not from the first time she saw Rouran.
Also a married princess, Rouran was only 15 years old when she entered the feudal dynasty, but she was 19 years old.
Rouran brought more than 200 dowries to the feudal vassal, and 160 of them were directly carried into the treasury.
Although the former vassal king didn't like Rouran, he still looked satisfied every time he mentioned the dowry, claiming that he had not married the wrong woman.
But she had a lot of money but only had more than thirty units, and the former feudal king didn't even look at her.
What Afaf was most proud of was that she was able to get all the favor from the former vassal king, but she did not expect that Rouran would not only be unaffected by this, but would even close the door and live her own life.
Afaf was once jealous of Rouran's maids, and even encouraged the former lord to employ all these women.
She originally thought that Rouran would be angry, resist, and fall out with the vassal king. Afaf had even prepared dried fruit snacks and planned to watch the show, but Rouran actually endured all the humiliation.
The more Rouran doesn't fight, the more Afaf hates her, because she can see her ridiculousness in Rouran.
Therefore, Afaf bribed the officials of the royal court and deducted Rouran's food, allowing Rouran to suffer like this for nearly ten years.
Afaf herself doesn't know why, but it seems that as long as she can prove that she is living a better life than Rouran, she will feel great satisfaction in her heart.
So with her efforts, Rouran's life became worse day by day.
It was not until the death of the former vassal king that Gyatso entered Afaf's tent.
Afaf was very disgusted with this kind of wife inheritance system, so she thought of Rouran again.
She wanted to know what would happen to a woman who talked about rules and etiquette every day when she encountered something like this.
Therefore, she turned Gyatso's attention to Rouran, but she did not expect that Gyatso would actually know Rouran's taste for food.
Seeing Gyatso staying in Rouran's tent every day, the powerful jealousy in Afaf's heart fermented again. With the help of Dongfeng, who didn't like Rouran, Afaf poisoned Rouran.
