Chapter 409 Killing

Ps: This one was written in tears, fragile sisters, please enter carefully...

After the emperor left the Longevity Palace, Xu Xiangwan went back to bed and lay down, ordering all the maids to disperse, leaving only Bai Wei for the night.

Although hugging the quilt, Xu Xiangwan was covered in cold sweat and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.Whether Shui Qiuxin's temper would offend the emperor, that's for sure.He is such an unrestrained and rebellious person, how can he bow his head under the hands of the powerful?Moreover, he is so skilled and bold that he does not take the emperor seriously.Will the emperor's temper kill Shui Qiuxin?This is also certain.

The emperor would occasionally talk about something between the bed and the ground on weekdays, just like today.It can be seen that the news is true!
Can she watch Shui Qiuxin die?

Xu Xiangwan sat up suddenly and called out in a low voice, "Bai Wei!"

"Your Majesty?" Bai Wei entered the inner room, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, but the lights are too bright?"

Xu Xiangwan shook his head, staggered out of bed, and said eagerly: "At this hour, is there any other way to get out of the palace?"

"Leaving the palace?!" Bai Wei exclaimed in a low voice, lowering her voice and said, "What are you going to do, Ma'am? Maybe go out!"

"Yes, yes, that's what you said." Xu Xiangwan's face was pale, he was wearing pajamas and stomping back and forth with bare feet, and murmured: "I can't get out, but he will come in, yes, there is a way, and there is still time. "

"My lady, what are you talking about!"

"Bai Wei, I have something important to do. Find me your clothes and a black cloak. Quick!"

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Please, I have to get out!"

Xu Xiangwan held Bai Wei's hands, her voice was already choked up, Bai Wei had followed Xu Xiangwan since she was a child, she knew her temper best, knowing that at this time, she would not be able to ask anything, and persuasion would not work, only procrastination Delaying time, he quickly nodded and turned around.

After Xu Xiangwan changed his clothes, he put on a black cloak and a hood, and said in a low voice, "Did you dig the hole I asked you to dig?"

"It's been ready a long time ago. It's just for us to escape because of something urgent." Bai Wei and Xu Xiangwan arrived in the clean room, and removed the washbasin shelf with rosewood carved peony flowers.Behind the washbasin shelf is a grid fan, and under the grid fan is a brick wall.

Bai Wei picked out a brick from the wall, and the rest was easy. She took down a dozen or so bricks, revealing a hole the size of a dog's hole, facing a dark green brick road outside.

"Outside is the corridor behind our Longevity Palace. Go south to the emperor's study room, and go north to the imperial garden. Madam, there must be someone watching the night outside, you must be careful."

"I know." Xu Xiangwan ordered Bai Wei to continue as usual, and to behave in whatever way she wanted.Climbing out of the cave by himself, seeing Bai Wei laying stone bricks inside one by one, she turned around and walked quickly along the palace wall, avoiding the patrolling guards all the way, and rushed towards Qingliang Hall.

As Xu Xiangwan walked, he was calculating in his mind which palace gate and road Shui Qiuxin would go when he came from Yangxin Xiaozhu.She only has one person, and it is impossible to leave someone to report on every final road, so she must choose a good location.

The Qingliang Hall is the final destination, and there are people in ambush, so she can't show her face easily.However, which way will Shui Qiuxin go?
Xu Xiangwan's forehead was sweating. At this time, she couldn't care about much. All she wanted was for Shui Qiuxin to live. If she could exchange her life for Shui Qiuxin's life, she would definitely not hesitate, and would not even look at it. blink.

Xu Xiangwan lingered, and finally chose a path that must be passed from the corner gate entering the palace on the east side to Qingliang Hall, and hid in a dry bush behind a lampstand, quietly waiting for Shui Qiuxin to appear.

It was freezing cold late at night near the twelfth lunar month, and Xu Xiangwan felt that all he exhaled was cold air.After an hour, her already cold hands and feet were numb.But looking at the sky, it seemed that it would be Yinshi, but Shui Qiuxin hadn't appeared yet, she was flustered as if her mind and body were no longer her own, and her heart was trembling like she was about to escape.

Just then, a light approached in the distance.

Xu Xiangwan was overjoyed, and quickly squatted down behind the bushes.

From the gaps in the branches, I saw two little eunuchs getting closer with two lanterns, and their conversation sounded in my ears:

"It's really strange. Eunuch De invited the water genius doctor to come, but he didn't go through the east gate. He deliberately went around the south gate and didn't let us go to see him off."

"You, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't think about what you shouldn't, just do your job honestly. Be careful with your life!"

"Tch, does my mother still expect me to carry on the family line!"

……

Xu Xiangwan's heart sank to the bottom, South Gate?Shui Qiuxin did not follow this path!
Xu Xiangwan stood up, ignoring his frozen hands and feet, squeezed the neckline of his black cloak, and ran quickly to Qingliang Hall.All she wanted was to catch up, to catch up... Even if she couldn't catch up, she would rather die with him...

In less than a stick of incense, Xu Xiangwan came to the gate of Qingliang Hall.Because the emperor wants to "do business" here, the palace people who are usually responsible for guarding and cleaning have been sent out long ago.It's pretty quiet here now.The courtyard door was half open, flickering and creaking under the blowing of the night wind, which made people panic.

Is it too late?

Xu Xiangwan seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking. At this moment, she no longer considered her own life or death, but stepped forward, pushed open the courtyard door, and stepped inside.

With the bright moon in the sky, everything in the garden was clearly visible, and there was no blood on the ground as she had expected.

Xu Xiangwan was overjoyed.

Just at this moment, a burly man in black and short brown led Shui Qiuxin around the corner: "Water genius doctor, please."

The two of them had just turned a corner, and when they looked up, they saw a figure standing in front of the gate of Qingliang Palace.

Shui Qiuxin had long since realized that something was wrong.The reason why he followed was just to see what the emperor was going to do, and the small palace walls on the left and right couldn't stop him.Now seeing the pitch-black Qingliang Palace, and Xu Xiangwan who was slowly turning around in front of the Qingliang Palace, he felt vaguely aware of it.His complexion also became serious.

Today, he might not be able to leave.

"Mr. Shui!" Xu Xiangwan saw Shui Qiuxin, saw that he was still alive, and ran over joyfully, "Hurry up, the emperor wants to kill you!"

As soon as the words fell, seven figures jumped down from the roof of Qingliang Hall at the same time, plus the man in black who sent Shui Qiuxin here was exactly eight people, and they surrounded Shui Qiuxin and Xu Xiangwan.

The leader was holding a dagger, and the cold light suddenly appeared in the night, which was very menacing.

"Miss Concubine Wan, you have disappointed the emperor too much. The emperor ordered that there will be no pardon for killing Shui Qiuxin today. If Concubine Wan appears here, she will be executed immediately!"

How clever Xu Xiangwan is, how can she not tell what the other party said so clearly?It turned out that the emperor suspected them, so he tested her!It turns out that the emperor deliberately let her down just now!She fell for it!How did the emperor know that she liked Shui Qiuxin?Why are you suspicious! ?

"Mr. Shui, I'm sorry for you, I'm the one who hurt you." Xu Xiangwan's eyelashes filled with tears: "You go, leave me alone, I will naturally explain clearly to the emperor."

Xu Xiangwan took off his hood, revealing a peerless face, with tears in his eyes, a calm face, with incomparable elegance and coercive strength, and said in a commanding tone: "If you kill me, the emperor will not spare you , sensible person, take me to see the emperor, if I want to live or die, I have to listen to the emperor's words!"

The leader sneered: "Miss Concubine Wan, you'd better stop making useless struggles. The emperor has ordered you to kill Shui Qiuxin today. If you show up, it will prove that you are really disloyal to the emperor. Disloyal woman, How could the emperor want it? Die!"

As soon as the voice fell, eight people attacked Shui Qiuxin and Xu Xiangwan at the same time.

Xu Xiangwan's heart skipped a beat, he closed his eyes and said loudly in despair: "Mr. Shui, go!"

Shui Qiuxin's lightness skill is excellent, if he fights, he may not be the opponent of the eight masters, but if he runs away, no one will be able to catch up to him.Xu Xiangwan felt some comfort in his heart, run away, run away, he can wander the world, he can live well.Anyway, she already had no hope, if she died, she would be clean... It's just pity for her parents and her children.

Just as she was waiting to die, the expected pain did not come.Xu Xiangwan only felt that the sky was spinning, and a scent of medicine surrounded her, and then her body was tightly embraced in a strange but nostalgic embrace.
The hem of the blue robe rose without wind, and the silver needle in Shui Qiuxin's hand shot out, stabbing a strong man head-on.

However, since the emperor knew who Qiu Xin was a master, and wanted to kill him, how could he send mobs here?The eight people who came here today each possess unique skills. His usual silver needle acupuncture points, under the siege of the eight people, he wanted to take Xu Xiangwan to avoid it, but it failed!
Shui Qiuxin frowned, and tried to lead Xu Xiangwan to avoid it. His figure flicked around, and he moved a pair of fleshy palms to fight with the eight assassins holding daggers and short knives.

He didn't know why he didn't escape.At the critical moment just now, he just thought that the eight people who saw Xu Xiangwan coming to Qingliang Palace today must die!If one person escapes and reports the news to the emperor, Xu Xiangwan will undoubtedly die. What's more serious, the entire Xu family will be implicated, and how many innocent people will be victimized!
Shui Qiuxin never thought that he was a good person, but his heart did not allow him to leave a weak woman to bear everything, and go away by himself. After all, the emperor suspected the two of them.If he left her behind, he would never be at ease in his life.

Therefore, when the knife hit his back, he gritted his teeth and stood up, protected Xu Xiangwan with his arms, turned around and used his internal strength to strike out with a palm, killing the man; so when the dagger stabbed Xu Xiangwan's body, When he couldn't stop him, he subconsciously turned sideways to block, allowing the cold dagger to pierce into his own weakness, and at the same time, a needle pierced into the dead point of the knife holder...

Xu Xiangwan's face and body were covered with crimson hot blood. Her heart had already been shattered into powder when Shui Qiuxin used her body to protect her again and again. She had never seen so much blood, let alone Seeing Shui Qiuxin's life wither away inch by inch.However, everything is under the emperor's calculations, there is no omission, and there is no way to stop it...
