The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky had just dawned, and the heavy snow had already covered the entire palace. A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the deep palace roads, and the early wind passed through the hall, raising a deep winter chill.
Snow is supposed to be pure and flawless, but underneath this white snow, there is hidden murderous intent.
The purchasing department located on the southeast side of the palace has no red light in the sky. The monstrous fire has finally been extinguished. The entire palace has been licked by the flames and turned into ruins. The former glory can no longer be seen. Some ruins and several charred corpses were left behind.
After inspection and identification, it was found that no one in the purchasing department survived the fire.
Snowflakes are falling like jade dust, ten feet soft and red, floating in thousands, all of which are annihilated in this desolate snow dust.
The cold wind howled bitterly, as if a sharp knife was about to cut open human skin. During the long winter snowy night, there was chaos inside and outside the palace. Groups of forbidden troops shuttled back and forth on the palace roads, searching and patrolling everywhere, causing panic among the people in the palace.
At this moment, on the palace road at the entrance of the palace gate, a guard was stepping on the snow and hurried towards the direction of Xianfu Palace.
Lin Wanwan was lying on the bed, her bright starry eyes staring blankly at the curtain above, her mind wandering, and occasionally an indistinguishable light quietly passed through her eyes.
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was pushed open from the outside.
As soon as the door opened, a hole seemed to be ripped out of the warm air in the room, and a gust of cold wind poured into the room from the outside. Lin Wanwan felt a cold air spread into her body along the texture of her clothes, making her hands and feet feel cold.
Lin Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew her misty thoughts and looked at the visitor through the curtain. She saw two maids holding palace lanterns standing under the door and said coldly to her: "Girl, the Queen Mother, please move." Buningshou Palace."
Lin Wanwan secretly looked at the two maids. They looked cold and entered directly without knocking on the door. They acted so recklessly, probably with the instruction of the Queen Mother, but she didn't know what happened to make the Queen Mother so angry. He completely disregarded the etiquette of the royal family.
Lin Wanwan sat up slowly, put on her coat slowly and tentatively, and asked tentatively: "I wonder what the Queen Mother is calling the common girls to come here at this time."
"If the girl has any doubts, she will find the answer after meeting the Queen Mother."
After one of the maids finished speaking, another maid continued: "Girl, please hurry up and don't keep the Queen Mother waiting."
The tone of both of them was a little impatient, which did not surprise Lin Wanwan, but it made her certain of one thing. The Queen Mother was so anxious to summon her, not because of what happened tonight. If she really found out what happened tonight, The matter is related to her, so the person standing here at this time is probably the Forbidden Army.
Lin Wanwan said nothing and followed the two maids towards Ningshou Palace.
Along the way, Lin Wanwan noticed that the eunuchs and maids in the Xianfu Palace were each holding palace lanterns and running back and forth under the eaves. Everyone had nervous expressions on their faces. The imperial troops guarding various places are also being replaced and mobilized. It seems that many people have been withdrawn. Only around the Ningshou Hall of the Queen Mother, the guards are still tight.
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but be a little confused. Looking at this posture, could it be that the assassin had been caught? She wasn't afraid that the man in black would confess her. Anyway, he didn't know who she was. With so many people in the harem, it wouldn't be easy for them to conduct a thorough investigation. But then she thought about it and felt something was wrong. If the assassin was really caught, then why were there so many forbidden troops here? If the assassin was not caught, why did some of the forbidden troops have to be withdrawn?
For a while, Lin Wanwan had many speculations in her mind. It wasn't until she stepped into the palace door that her thoughts gradually came back.
As soon as he stepped into the palace, he heard a sharp voice coming from the palace. There was an aura of majesty in the deep voice, which made people feel palpitated.
Lin Wanwan followed the sound, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw a group of maids and eunuchs kneeling in the palace, as silent as a cicada. A middle-aged woman wearing a purple embroidered palace dress was sitting on the main seat. She was holding a string of imperial green jade beads in her left hand. Her chest was rising and falling slightly, showing power in anger, while Aunt Peirong was He stood aside with his head bowed, his expression unclear.
Lin Wanwan silently averted her gaze. It seemed that the person sitting in the main seat was the current Queen Mother, but she looked much younger than she expected. Just like her aunt, there seemed to be no trace of age on her face. .
"To the Queen Mother, the girl has arrived." The two maids who led Lin Wanwan into the palace stepped forward and saluted the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother heard the sound, her eyes sharpened and she immediately swept over.
Upon seeing this, Lin Wanwan immediately folded her hands and bowed to the Queen Mother Yingying calmly and generously: "Lin Yuewan, a citizen girl, pays homage to the Queen Mother."
She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, looking gentle and submissive. In this bow, even the etiquette was extremely thorough, so that no one could find any faults in it, and the Queen Mother was prevented from making any excuses.
The Queen Mother said nothing. Although Lin Wanwan lowered her head, she could still feel the sharp gaze above her head constantly wandering over her body, like a blade with a cold light, wanting to separate her body piece by piece at any time.
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but sneer in her heart. If looks could kill, she would have died under the Queen Mother's gaze. It seemed that the Queen Mother really wanted to get rid of her.
She just made friends with Luo Huaizhou, and she was able to make the Queen Mother imagine a conspiracy to cling to the powerful. Su Jin was right, what kind of person would have what kind of mood. People who value power more will unconsciously weigh power and benefit when looking at others, especially the imperial family. They think that everyone in the world covets their power and covets their power, but they never think about it. , How heartless and unjust the imperial family is. This palace looks majestic and magnificent, but in fact it is just like a prison.
Just as Lin Wanwan was thinking about it, she suddenly saw the maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground getting up and retreating. Then she heard a majestic and cold voice coming from above her head: "Lin Yuewan, you are so brave! Do you know your guilt?"
Lin Wanwan raised her head in response and saw the Queen Mother's brows were slightly stern and she was looking at her with a gloomy expression. She was holding the rosary in her hand tighter and tighter, as if there was a raging anger brewing.
"I dare to ask the Queen Mother, what crime did the daughter of the people commit?"
Lin Wanwan met the Queen Mother's gaze calmly, without any wavering in her eyes, just as calm and calm as when she entered the palace just now.
Seeing her expression, the Queen Mother's face suddenly darkened, and the anger in her eyes instantly burst out, almost overflowing her eyes, which was terrifying.
"The Ai family underestimated you!" The Queen Mother frowned, slammed her palms on the table, her expression was extremely angry, and shouted sternly: "Tell me! Where did you kidnap the Ai family's boat?!"
Lin Wanwan was stunned when she heard this. Luo Huaizhou was missing?
