Chapter 16 Taking advantage of the situation
Holy Sword Division.

He Junxuan sat cross-legged on the couch, the blue veins on his temples bulging, and fine beads of sweat gushed out from his hair follicles, wetting his moon-white lining.

The man's broad chest muscles were faintly visible under his wet clothes, his protruding Adam's apple rolled slightly on his slender neck, and the red spider lily between his eyebrows was as red as blood.

If the man's face was not pale and his eyes were not closed, this scene would have really made people's blood boil.

Ye Huai pushed the door open hurriedly, still with a blank face, "Master, this is Xiao Xiazi from the Empress Dowager's palace."

The words stopped abruptly.

Seeing He Junxuan like this, Ye Huai's expression suddenly changed and he rushed over in a few steps.

"Master, your poison has taken effect again. I will go and prepare some ice."

"Come back? No need. I can endure it this time." He Junxuan's answer was concise and clear, but it made Ye Huai feel relieved.

Normally when the master was poisoned, he couldn't utter a word, and even his lips were bitten until they were covered in blood. He could only soak in ice water to relieve the pain.

Although the situation looks dangerous today, the master was able to utter such a complete sentence. It seems that Princess Jing's medicine is really effective.

If Ye Huai's facial meridians had not been damaged by the assassination five years ago, he would definitely cheer at this moment.

"Go on, what happened to Xiao Xia Zi?" He Junxuan let out a breath slowly and looked up at Ye Huai who had an expressionless face.

Ye Huai replied immediately, "The Divine Armor Guards found a suicide note in Xiao Xiazi's room. The meaning of the note is that you failed to poison the Queen Mother yesterday and were saved by Princess Jing, so you ordered him to poison the Queen Mother's food today."

He Junxuan closed his eyes again, a fierce arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, with a murderous aura that came from fighting among thousands of troops, like a demon from hell.

"His Majesty the Divine Armor Guard already knows about it?" He Junxuan's voice was hoarse, with a hint of restraint.

Although he had taken relief medicine, the onset of the poison was still extremely painful.

Ye Huai nodded, "His Majesty burned Xiao Xiazi's suicide note and told the master to handle the matter himself."

After a long silence, He Junxuan let out a long breath, almost blowing out the candles on the table.

"Where's Zheng Bing?"

"I have tried several different tortures, but the old man insisted that you were the one who told him to lie. I also sent people to search his house, but they found that no one was there, and that he had moved away a few months ago."

He Junxuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light suddenly flashed across his dark and deep pupils.

"Zheng Bing couldn't bear the severe punishment and bit his tongue to commit suicide. Before his death, he confessed that it was Concubine Su who instructed him to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, fabricate lies, and cover up the truth that the Royal Grandmother was poisoned." He Junxuan said quietly.

"Also, investigate the Su family and King Xuan, especially the deployment of the assassins."

Ye Huai's eyes were slightly stern and he nodded to accept the order.

The sky gradually darkened, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, reflecting the shining stars scattered around it.

In Fengxiang Palace, Lu Qingyu was exhausted from a day of intense tension and fell into a deep sleep in a side hall just after midnight.

While she was dazed, she had a dream.

In the dream, Lu Qingyu saw a tall man standing in a sea of ​​blood, with a pure silver wolf head mask on his face.

His moon-white brocade robe was stained red with blood. The edge of the long sword in his hand was slightly tilted, and bright red blood beads slowly slid down the sword.

The man suddenly raised his sword to the sky and shouted, "Kill!"

The cry of killing suddenly resounded through the sky.

Lu Qingyu woke up suddenly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and a trace of shock still remained in her eyes.

This dream was very real and familiar, as if she had experienced it herself.

Lu Qingyu hugged his head tightly, the purple blood vessels throbbing under his scalp, but his mind was still a fog.

She couldn't remember whether she had ever experienced this dream, nor could she remember who the masked man was. At this moment, Lu Qingyu's nostrils moved slightly, and a strange incense scent entered her nasal cavity.

Lu Qingyu had studied medicine since she was a child and had a natural sensitivity to smells. This faint fragrance could not escape her nose.

Almost instantly, the scent of incense came to her mind.

Soul-captivating incense, a hypnotic and aphrodisiac drug.

Lu Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly. Someone wanted to rape her?
With his eyes rolling slightly, Lu Qingyu slowly lay back down, suppressing his breath to the state of deep sleep, but his mind was highly concentrated.

No matter who wants to harm her, she will use their own tactics to harm them.

Lu Qingyu has been addicted to drugs since he was a child. He has tried all kinds of drugs, so he has long developed a tolerance to this soul-capturing incense.

The palace was unusually quiet. Even the palace maids and eunuchs who were on night watch had disappeared. The only sound that could be heard was the cicadas chirping tirelessly outside the window.

A black figure appeared silently in the room and tiptoed to Lu Qingyu's bed.

The man in black possessed Lu Qingyu and raised his hand to gently probe under her nose.

In a flash, Lu Qingyu jumped up from the bed and hit the man in black in the neck with his elbow.

The man in black opened his eyes wide, filled with disbelief, then he swayed twice and fainted.

Lu Qingyu pressed her right thumb and the inch-long plum blossom needle in the ring popped out. She pierced the black-clothed man's neck with ease, and then pierced three acupuncture points on his face.

After a moment, the man in black opened his eyes, and there was still surprise in his eyes.

He was about to open his mouth to speak, but found that no sound came out. His wide-open eyes showed even more fear.

Lu Qingyu looked indifferent and said in a calm tone, "I ask you questions and you answer them. Did the Queen send you here?"

Lu Qingyu stared carefully at the black-clothed man's pupils and saw no shrinkage.

"Did Supin send you here?"

This time, the black-clothed man's pupils shrank very briefly, which was clearly captured by Lu Qingyu.

Lu Qingyu curled the corners of his lips. Very good.

It’s really Concubine Su.

The man in black still looked terrified, but the next second, his eyes closed unwillingly again.

Lu Qingyu knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.

After sitting on the bed and thinking for a while, Lu Qingyu stood up, easily picked up the seven-foot-tall man in black, and picked up another piece of rice paper on the table.

After the man in black was carried outside the hall, Lu Qingyu looked around.

There was no one left, all the palace servants were dismissed.

That's exactly what she wanted.

Taking out a dagger from the black-clothed man's arms, Lu Qingyu raised the knife and slashed the black-clothed man's fingers, and blood gushed out.

Holding the black-clad man's fingers, Lu Qingyu wrote eight bloody words on rice paper, and then stuffed the bloody letter into the black-clad man's arms.

She picked up the dagger again and stabbed it coldly into the black-clad man's heart, her expression without the slightest fluctuation.

Lifting the body of the man in black, Lu Qingyu easily passed through the wall and finally placed the body in front of the gate of Fengxiang Palace.

The moonlight was dim, and a light figure returned to the hall.
