The voice screamed a little loudly, startling her, and she instinctively took two steps back.
I accidentally stepped on the branch under my feet and made a crunching sound.
Inside the house, Xiao Ji's eyes turned cold when he heard the voice, "Who is outside?"
"My subordinate, go out and take a look." Xu Yan opened the door and looked outside, and saw Fu Yuanxiao standing outside the door, with a look of surprise in his eyes, "Princess?"
Xiao Ji frowned when he heard the princess, why is she here?
Fu Yuanxiao saw Xu Yan walking over in confusion, "Where is the prince?"
Xu Yan glanced behind him, hesitated for a while and said, "The prince is inside."
Just as Fu Yuanxiao was about to walk in, she saw a tall figure standing in front of her. She raised her head and saw Xiao Ji looking down at her.
"Husband?"
Xiao Ji's voice was slightly deep, "Why are you here?"
"I saw you when I went to the study, so I caught up with you." Fu Yuanxiao glanced behind him and asked curiously, "What are you doing here, husband? I just heard a woman's cry."
Xiao Ji glanced behind her and said, "It's nothing. The maid in the mansion stole something and I'm punishing her."
When Fu Yuanxiao heard this, he looked back at Xiao Ji and caught a glimpse of his moon-white brocade robe stained with several drops of blood, which looked extremely eye-catching under the light.
She screamed: "Blood, there is blood on you."
Xiao Ji lowered his head and took a look. There was indeed blood on the robe, and the bright red blood was even more conspicuous on the moon-white material.
I just accidentally got it on.
He raised his head and looked at Fu Yuanxiao, and saw that she looked frightened and frowned.
"The maid accidentally knocked on the table just now. The king was very close and accidentally got it on her."
After hearing this, Fu Yuanxiao glanced inside a few more times, and could vaguely see a person lying on the ground, wearing a yellow-green dress, and he knew it was a woman.
Immediately, she saw the death countdown above, half an hour.
Xiao Ji saw her and looked inside. The palace maid's eyes had been gouged out. If she saw it, she would probably have nightmares and go crazy.
Besides, if she knew that he dug out the maid's eyes, she might not believe him in the future.
Xiao Ji thought of this, grabbed Fu Yuanxiao's wrist and took her into his arms, saying warmly: "It's cold at night. If you wear such thin clothes, what's the point of contracting the wind and cold?"
Fu Yuanxiao came out in a hurry and didn't wear a coat. It was indeed very cold at night.
"Your Majesty, I saw her lying on the ground as if she was in pain. She just stole something, so don't punish her too harshly. It's important to correct her mistakes after she realizes them."
"Then listen to Xiao'er." Xiao Ji ordered: "Penine her with silver rice for a month and then let her go."
Xu Yan was stunned for a while before he came to his senses and responded hurriedly: "I obey my orders."
Xiao Ji lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Let's go."
Fu Yuanxiao nodded, "Yeah."
Xu Yan watched the prince and the princess walk away, and said, "I almost believed that the prince looked like such a gentle and good man."
Liufeng asked: "Really let that palace maid go? I finally got her out of Yuxiu Palace."
Xu Yan patted Liu Feng on the shoulder, "You are still too young."
Liufeng looked confused, "What do you mean?"
"If you really let me go, you will be punished later." Xu Yan said nothing and strode in.
Liufeng understood immediately and asked, "When has the prince ever been so kind and merciful?"
Inside Chu Yuwan, the lights are brightly lit.
Xiao Ji looked at the paper man in his hand. It was exactly the same as the last time. He thought that the paper man could walk and fly. It still feels amazing to this day.
He raised his head and looked at Fu Yuanxiao, "Is this for me?"
At this time, Xiao Ji had changed into clean clothes.
Fu Yuanxiao nodded, "Husband, if you want it to listen to you, you need blood."
Xiao Ji asked again: "How long can it last?"
"Then it depends on what your husband wants it to do. The time cannot exceed half a month." Fu Yuanxiao thought for a while and continued: "Does your husband want it to move?"
"Yes." Xiao Ji took out a dagger. The sharp blade cut his hand without hesitation, blood immediately flowed out, and then he handed it to Fu Yuanxiao.
Fu Yuanxiao didn't hesitate, painted a spell with blood, dotted his eyes, and recited the spell silently.
Xiao Ji looked at the paper figure on the table and saw it standing up crookedly, shaking a few times, and stretching its legs, as if it had just woken up.
"My husband can tell it to do things," Fu Yuanxiao paused and continued, "You can't do anything too extreme."
"That's natural." Xiao Ji put the paper manikin into his sleeves and then looked at Fu Yuanxiao, "You should rest early."
Fu Yuanxiao was very tired now. After Xiao Ji left, she went to bed to rest with Bao Zhu waiting on her.
Xiao Ji walked out of Chu Yuwan and walked straight to the northwest corner.
Xu Yan was waiting at the door early. He saw the prince coming and went to greet him, "Your Majesty."
Xiao Ji asked: "Did you recruit?"
Xu Yan said: "No."
Xiao Ji walked in with a sullen face.
Inside the house, light these candles.
Cockroaches and mice can be seen on the dark and damp ground at any time.
The original color of the palace maid's yellow-green clothes could no longer be seen. It was stained with blood and not a single piece was good.
Xiao Ji squatted down, looked at the palace maid lying there, lingering, and said warmly: "Why did you poison the princess? As long as you tell the person behind the scenes, I will let you go."
The palace maid took a few breaths and said feebly: "This slave did not poison me, and there was no mastermind behind it. My lord, please spare my life..."
Xiao Ji's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Cut off her hand."
"Yes." Liufeng stepped forward with a knife and grabbed the palace maid's hand with one hand.
The palace maid began to struggle fiercely, and a bloody eye was exposed under the messy hair, "No, no, I really don't know..."
"ah!!!"
With a scream, blood splattered all over the floor, and the palace maid fainted.
Xiao Ji stood up and looked down at the unconscious palace maid on the ground. His eyes, which were like a deep pool, were cold-blooded and ruthless.
"Cut off both feet and throw them into the lotus pond in the imperial garden."
Liufeng heard the words and immediately understood the meaning of the prince's words. He laboriously transported it into the palace and threw it into the lotus pond in the imperial garden. In such a conspicuous place, people would soon discover it.
Such a tragic situation would be a shock to the mastermind behind the scenes.
"I obey my orders."
Xiao Ji withdrew his gaze and strode out.
At this time, in the Yuxiu Palace of the Imperial Palace
Xiang Yin quickly walked into the bedroom and came to the bed, her tone was a little anxious, "Mother, He Xiang is missing."
Concubine Yu raised her head when she heard this and asked, "When did you find out that she was missing?"
Xiang Yin said: "I heard from Ping Xiang that He Xiang was not seen during lunch, and she thought He Xiang had something to do. But I didn't see her in the afternoon, so I felt something strange. After looking for a while, I couldn't find He Xiang."
Concubine Concubine frowned. He Xiang had been in Yuxiu Palace for some years and suddenly disappeared, giving her a bad feeling.
"Keep looking."
"Yes, empress." Xiang Yin quickly exited.
Early the next morning, Xiang Yin hurriedly walked in from outside the palace.
"Empress."
Concubine Yu raised her head and looked over, "Have you found He Xiang?"
"A female body was found in the lotus pond in the Royal Garden."
Good night, babies!
