Seeing that she did not speak, Luo Ruan was afraid that she would not believe her, and wanted to take out the token that could prove her identity that she had prepared before.

But Du Ruo closed the lid of the food box, and when he got up, he was about to carry it away.

Not sure about the attitude of the heroine's sister, Luo Ruan followed her and pretended to ask, "Sister, will you come here tomorrow?"

Du Ruo kept walking, turned her head and glanced at her, "Still leaving? I won't help you a second time."

Luo Ruan watched her leave, feeling disappointed on the surface, but actually very proud in her heart.

The system has already told her that the mission target will come here for lunch every day, so she might not be able to block people tomorrow.

……

It was night, a woman in dusty clothes of a low-class court lady quietly walked out of the side door of Qiyun Palace.

After stepping out of the palace gate, she looked around vigilantly, seeing that no one noticed her, she lowered her head and hurried up the palace road.

What she didn't see was that after a few breaths, the same gray figure flashed past and quietly followed behind her.

She had more than a stick of incense, and finally stopped at the back door of the closed moon palace, knocking on the wooden door with varying lengths.

The soft light of the palace lantern catered to the moonlight, illuminating the face of this court lady—this person was Qi Luo, the close maid of Princess Lechang of Qiyun Palace.

The door of the closed moon palace was opened with a "squeak", and an old hoarse voice came out first.

"No tail following you?"

"No, nanny, let me in quickly, I want to see Empress Li." Qi Luo's usual calmness was no longer there, her voice was low and hoarse, and her tone was hasty.

The person who opened the door snorted coldly, muttered something in a low voice complaining, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The door of the closed moon palace was quickly closed.

Without relying on anyone's guidance, Qi Luo is familiar with the way and walks in the closed moon palace.

Bypassing the pavilions and hurdles, Qiluo appeared outside a luxurious palace gate.

The palace lanterns in the hall were dimmed because they had been burning for a long time. In front of the bronze mirror, Concubine Li sat in front of the lantern with an ugly face without any pearls or emeralds on her head.

Her appearance was originally very good, but due to the ravages of these days, not only her eyes were black and blue, but even her lips were bloodless, showing a fragility for no reason.

The maid who lit the lamp carefully picked up the scissors and cut the wick, the fire light jumped, and the room was brightened again soon.

"Ma'am, people are coming."

Concubine Li woke up from the trance, as if she had grasped some life-saving elixir, her tone was a little strangely excited.

"Let her in!"

Qi Luo was quickly brought in front of Concubine Li.

After she knelt down and saluted, she didn't speak any more, she just waited for the noble man in front of her to ask questions first.

The silence in the huge bedroom was a bit scary.

"Let me ask you, she has been taking medicine for a few days."

Qi Luo's body trembled, she was so humble that she was not like the princess who flaunted her might in the daytime and said, "Go back... If you go back to your mother, the princess has not used medicine for some time."

"What?!" Concubine Li's shrill voice suddenly rose, she randomly grabbed something at hand and threw it at Qi Luo who was kneeling on the ground, "Useless trash! Why are you doing things for me, stop it!" For some days, I didn’t even inform this palace!”

"Your Majesty, spare me!!!" Qi Luo kowtowed to the ground regardless of the blood that was splashed on her head.

Concubine Li didn't seem to have heard the begging for mercy on the ground, she raised her fingernails to her mouth in a daze, and began to ask and answer herself nervously.

"Why did the princess stop the drug suddenly?? Did he find out?!"

"Impossible!!" She suddenly became emotional, "If he found out, he should have stopped long ago."

"With so many doses, the princess should have died long ago!"

Concubine Li suddenly grabbed her hair and yelled: "Why doesn't that bitch die!!! Why does the emperor only see her!!!!"

The maid next to her was startled, and quickly took out a purple sachet of beautiful flowers and put it under Concubine Li's nose, "Your Majesty!! Calm down! The emperor loves you most! There has never been anyone else!"

Concubine Li's expression seemed to be crying and smiling, and she took a deep breath of the smell in the sachet, and then slowly regained her composure.

"Let me ask you, when did the princess stop taking the medicine?"

Qi Luo's forehead was blue and red, and only then did she dare to raise her head again when she heard Li Fei's question.

"Back to the empress, it's... she woke up from falling into the water in Shanglinyuan. No matter how the slaves persuaded her, the princess never drank the medicine again."

"Bitch!" Li Fei suddenly used force, leaving an obvious scratch on the stool with her long and sharp nails.

Her eyes turned fiercely to Qi Luo, and she asked bitterly: "It's not like you, a lowly maid, are secretly telling the truth behind my back."

Qi Luo was so frightened that her face turned pale again, she burst into tears, and continued to kowtow, "Your Majesty, you are wronged!! Nubi's younger brother has recently fallen ill, how could this servant betray Madam!!"

"That's right." Concubine Li turned her face away, her eyes filled with emptiness, "Forgive me that you don't have the guts either."

She took out a packet of powder wrapped in paper from her cuff, and let the lady in the palace throw it beside Qi Luo who was still kowtowing.

"I don't care what method you use these days, I will definitely kill her!"

"Your Majesty?!" Qi Luo was so frightened that she forgot to move on, she suddenly raised her head to look at Concubine Li, her eyes filled with despair and unreconciled struggle.

As soon as these words came out, it proved that her use value was completely exhausted, and death was already waving to her.

"Why, you don't want to?"

Concubine Li gave her a cool look, the threat in her eyes was self-evident.

Qi Luo finally lowered her head, gritted her teeth, kowtowed on the ground, and replied with a trembling voice: "I just hope that the mother will treat the younger brother of the slave girl well."

Concubine Li stood up, without even looking at her again.

"It's late at night, and I'm tired, so let's all retreat."

……

"Your Majesty, this servant will take off your clothes for you." The maidservant next to Concubine Li hastily followed, and before she left, she did not forget to turn her head and stare at Qi Luo on the ground, and said in a low voice, "You maidservant! Get out of here!"

On the floor of the closed moon palace, there was a puddle of sparkling water and dark red blood.

Qi Luo straightened up from the ground silently, carefully wiped away the tear stains on her face with her wide sleeves, and quietly backed away with her body bowed.

The crescent moon goes to the sky.

Qi Luo Shensi went out from the back door of the closed moon palace, and suddenly noticed a black shadow shaking around the corner of the wall from the corner of her eye.

Her mind was concentrated, her eyes were about to split, she nervously stared at the shadow not far away, and shouted in a short and forceful voice: "Who's there?!"

The black shadow remained motionless for a moment.

Qi Luo's heart was half cold, and there was still five points of luck, but now there is not even a bit left.

"Come out! I've seen you!"

Within a few seconds after the words were finished, the space was extremely quiet, as if she had imagined it before the black shadow.

Qi Luo still didn't dare to be careless, she stared at the corner of the wall, and said forcefully: "If you don't come out again, I will call someone!"

There was a small sound of clothes rubbing against the corner, and a light footstep landed on the ground, and the person who had been hiding behind for a long time finally came out slowly.

"It's you!!"

Qi Luo's eyes were very good, even though the environment was dim, as soon as this person came out, she recognized this person from his figure as the watering maid in charge of cleaning the garden in Qiyun Palace.

"You are following me." This is not a question.

She squinted her eyes, her tone full of sternness.

According to her guess, this inferior court lady named Biyun should be trembling at this moment, panicking when she discovers a secret she shouldn't have discovered.

What got out of the situation was that not only did she not panic, but she was too calm.

"You betrayed the princess and took refuge in Concubine Li."

Biyun stared at her expressionlessly, "Aren't you afraid of thunder?"

"So what!" Qi Luo looked faintly mad, she secretly clenched a sharp silver hairpin in her sleeve, and said in a persuasive way: "Why are you following me? What do you want? Money? The princess' favor? I am the same I can give it to you."

"I will tell the princess." Biyun stood there unmoved.

Qi Luo's mind was spinning rapidly, and her heart was so anxious that she wanted to kill someone, but her tone became sweeter and softer, "I remembered, Biyun. Could it be that you blamed my sister for punishing you for sweeping in the garden for a few days? My sister is wrong, I am here to apologize to you."

"It's just a trivial matter. Come here, and my sister will pay you a jade bracelet. We sisters serve the princess together, so we can't create a rift because of this."

Seeing Biyun walking towards this side after hearing the words, she scolded "idiot" in her heart, and the hairpin in her sleeve was ready to go.

"That's right, Biyun, I'm the person the princess trusts the most, even if you tell the princess, she won't believe your words. You take the bracelet and pretend you didn't see me tonight, it's good for both of us. "

She smiled more and more friendly, stretched out her hand as if to remove the bracelet, and said to Biyun: "Come closer and help me, I can't handle it with one hand."

When the man finally walked in front of her, she burst into a rage, about to send the silver hairpin into Biyun's heart, "Go to hell!"

A cold light flashed across, Qi Luo suddenly let out a loud cry, clutching the broken part of his wrist and fell to the ground.

In the next second, the sound of uniform footsteps broke through the silence at the back door of the closed moon palace, and clusters of palace lanterns completely illuminated this dark area.

Qi Luo's severed limb was still spurting blood, her face was pale, and she didn't understand what happened in such an instant.How did tonight's incident come to light?

A smear of gray quickly flashed across her face, she moved her cheeks, and before she had time to take the next step, a pair of callused hands took a step ahead of her, and with a huge force, "click" to remove her chin down.

Despair is overwhelming.

Being thrown to the ground and rolled twice, Qi Luo saw the princess and a bright yellow figure walking slowly in front of her through the opening of her eyes.

Her heart immediately sank to the bottom of the valley, and finally her eyes went dark, and she passed out completely.
