concubines

Chapter 106 Assassin
Miao Li crawled by the wall, looked inside again, and saw that the people inside had almost left.She tidied up her clothes and hair a little, and was ready to go in. Now she can still talk about going to the latrine or something. The longer the time dragged on, the more she couldn't explain clearly.

But before she could step in, a few people suddenly came and stood beside her with lanterns, and surrounded her tightly as if they had premeditated.

The lights around her suddenly lit up, and Miao Li didn't know what happened to force herself to stabilize, while thinking of words in her heart.It's a pity that the other party didn't give her a chance to speak at all.

The leader pretended to call back, "Princess, we found her, and she is here."

Hearing the voice, Xu Meitang pretended to come out, and walked up to Miao Li, her eyes kept sizing up Miao Li, and her undisguised gaze made Miao Li's heart tremble.

Just as Miao Li wanted to speak, she wanted to take the initiative in her own hands, but was blocked by Xu Meitang.

Xu Meitang asked aggressively, "Where did the girl go so late?"

Miaoli opened her mouth to say that she had gone after the thief, but Xu Meitang didn't give her a chance to speak.

Xu Meitang aimed at the time when she was about to speak, and continued: "I'm afraid the girl doesn't know yet, an assassin entered the mansion just now, and the prince is seriously injured now."

Hearing that Zhou Shuxuan was injured, Miao Li asked with concern: "Is your lord alright?"

She shouldn't have gone out just now, she had nothing to do to chase some thief, even if she had no strength to restrain her, it would be useless, so she might as well stay by Zhou Shuxuan's side.He has good legs and feet, and she can at least protect him.

It seems that she still cares about the prince, probably because she is afraid that if Zhou Shuxuan is gone, she will have no support in the mansion.Xu Meitang returned in a cold voice, "The lord is not going to bother the girl to care about it now. I heard from He Yuan that the assassin is very familiar with the terrain of the palace, and there is a possibility that there is an internal response in the mansion. The girl does not sleep in the middle of the night and walks outside alone. Should the girl Explain it well?"

Xu Meitang said inside and out that she was a spy, how could she be a spy.

Miao Li wanted to speak to prove her innocence, "The servant is going..." to chase the thief.

Before she finished speaking, Xu Meitang suddenly noticed that there was something in her pocket, which looked like a dagger in shape.Xu Meitang hid behind the nanny, pointed at Miao Li and shouted, "What is that in your arms? You are indeed with the assassin. Come on, she is an assassin, drag her out and kill her."

Something in her arms?

Miaoli stretched out her hand to touch it, and then remembered that it was the dagger she picked up on the road just now, and took out an explanation, "Princess, this is picked up by a servant."

How could Xu Meitang ask her to explain, and if she explained, it would be in vain.

Xu Meitang screamed to cover her explanation, and kept shouting after she finished, "Quick, she is an assassin, drag her out and beat her to death."

The nanny cooperatively stood in front of Xu Meitang, and a few servants followed Xu Meitang's order and came forward to drag Miaoli out.

At this time, Miaoli complained that there was no place for injustice. Xu Meitang said that he came to ask her, but now she didn't let her say a whole sentence. The most important thing now is to explain clearly.

Miao Li pushed away the person who pulled her away, threw away the dagger, knelt on the ground and said: "Princess, the servant is wronged. The servant went out because he heard a strange sound outside, so he chased him out. Now it seems that the servant listened The one who arrived was the assassin, and the dagger was also dropped by the assassin, and the servant was really wronged."

Xu Meitang walked out after seeing that she was not aggressive anymore, staring at Miaoli's face, what a beautiful face, Zhou Shuxuan could only spoil her alone.It's a pity that she is not Zhou Shuxuan, this face makes her hate her crazy.

Xu Meitang obviously didn't believe it, "Who are you lying to? You definitely won't admit that you are an assassin." Shouting to the servant beside him, "Hurry up and drag this assassin down to kill him. Is it hard for me to talk like a princess?"

Weeds must be cut to get rid of the roots, and only Miaoli's death can prevent future troubles.When Zhou Shu woke up, she said that she had killed an assassin, anyway, there was no proof of her death at that time.

Zhou Shuxuan might be angry with her for a while, but she is a princess, as long as the Xu family does not fall for a day, she can be a stable princess, even if the Xu family does not have her, she can still be a stable princess.

The person who was pushed away by Miao Li just came to tease her again. In fact, the servants were unwilling to do anything. Miao Li was Zhou Shuxuan's concubine after all. Who knew what Zhou Shuxuan's attitude towards her was when he woke up, but Xu Meitang's order had to listen.

Miao Li knelt on the ground and defended weakly, "The concubine's slaves are really wronged."

Xu Meitang didn't listen to her at all, and was still ordering the servant to drag her out and beat her to death.

Wei Hai watched from a distance, he didn't intend to speak for Miao Li at first.I want her to understand that her status in the palace is entirely due to Zhou Shuxuan, without Zhou Shuxuan she is nothing but a concubine and has no status in the palace.The princess can treat her whatever she wants.

As for whether Miaoli is an assassin, Wei Hai believed her before the dagger came out.Who is Zhou Shuxuan, his eyes are so poisonous, if Miao Li is really an assassin, Zhou Shuxuan will definitely not keep her until today, let alone indulge himself in falling in love with an assassin.

But for that dagger, Miao Li is not a martial arts practitioner, so there is no reason to carry a weapon on her body.She said that she picked it up by herself is not very credible, and it is also very doubtful that she went out in disheveled clothes at night.To catch a thief, I don't know if it's an excuse or the thief is calling for a thief.

Wei Hai couldn't control himself anymore after thinking about it. Miao Li kept refusing to agree to Zhou Shuxuan's intentions, and the dagger was a token of love.Wei Hai patted himself on the head, thinking about something in a mess, even more unreliable than Miao Li being an assassin.

Wei Hai originally wanted to watch the excitement for a while longer, but he couldn't stand when Xu Meitang said that he would beat Miao Li to death.This killed Zhou Shuxuan, who woke up and asked him what he should do if he needed someone. Without someone, he might lose his life.

Wei Hai walked over a few steps and whispered in Xu Meitang's ear: "Princess, there is no conclusion yet. Miss Miaoli may not be an assassin. Let's make a decision after finding out the truth."

Xu Meitang also let go of her ladylike appearance at this time, and yelled at Wei Hai loudly, "There is no conclusion, and the fear of witnesses and physical evidence is that she is an assassin."

Wei Hai caught the loophole in her words and asked, "Which witness?"

The dagger could barely be regarded as physical evidence, but human evidence... He didn't hear it after listening for a long time, and Xu Meitang said it so confidently again, he couldn't understand it without asking.

Seeing him coming out to stop him, Xu Meitang was afraid that Miaoli would not be killed, so excitedly she said something she shouldn't have said, "My mother saw with her own eyes that Miaoli walked around in the palace at night, it is very likely that she was giving assassins Do internal response."

Wei Hai has been with Zhou Shuxuan for so many years, although he hasn't reached the point where Zhou Shuxuan can analyze the whole story at a glance, but he can still be regarded as a good person.Pretending not to understand, she asked: "Why does the concubine's nanny see the girl at night, is she wandering around the mansion like her?"

Xu Meitang knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and said in the posture of a princess: "It seems that you, a slave, are not in charge of what my nanny does!"

Wei Hai gave her enough face, like a slave, said in a low voice, "It's the slave who overstepped, but if the prince wakes up and asks about what happened tonight, I don't know if the slave should talk about the concubine's mother?"

Xu Meitang was furious and pointed at him, "You! How dare you threaten me?"

Wei Hai bent his waist, lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly: "I don't dare, I just do my job well. By the way, remind the princess that the prince never likes people who make their own decisions. If the princess is not completely sure, It’s best to stay on the line.”

So what if he threatened her, he was Zhou Shuxuan's slave, he was defending Zhou Shuxuan's interests, and he would do anything to others.

Xu Meitang gritted her teeth and asked, "So what if I just want to kill her today?"

Wei Hai still bent over and said: "I dare not stop you, but if the shadow of the princess is slanted, I'm afraid she won't be upright for a few days."

Indulging his servants wandering around the mansion at night must not have done anything good, and it is estimated that they happened to see Miaoli.

Xu Meitang was successfully threatened by him. She and Zhou Shuxuan don't have much relationship yet, so she should be more cautious in doing things.

She also didn't believe that Zhou Shuxuan would protect an assassin, even if Zhou Shuxuan woke up, Miaoli would definitely die.

Xu Meitang took a step back and said: "Put this lowly maid in the woodshed and wait for the prince to deal with her."

"The princess is wise."

Wei Hai stretched out his hand to pull Miaoli up, her life was saved, Miaoli thanked her in a low voice, "Thank you, sir."

Wei Hai was distant and indifferent, "I don't dare to thank you, I'm helping you not because of you, but because of the prince. Let's go, I'll take you there."

Every time Miao Li and Zhou Shuxuan quarreled, he always treated Miao Li like this.

Wei Hai was afraid that Xu Meitang would make another move, so he arranged for a few confidants to guard outside the firewood room.Afraid of wronging her, he asked Rang to get a few thick mattresses and spread them out for her, and it seemed that everything was almost tidied up.Wei Haicai said: "Girl, just stay here and stay here. The truth is what the prince will tell when he wakes up."

Miaoli didn't know why she became an assassin inexplicably, she really needed others' trust now, so she said to Wei Hai: "My lord, I am really wronged, I am not an assassin."

"It's useless for the girl to tell me, you have to tell the prince. If the prince wants to believe the girl, he will believe the girl, and the girl should know in her heart."

She knew that she hadn't done it, Zhou Shuxuan should believe her, but if Zhou Shuxuan didn't want to believe her, he was angry now, would he...

Wei Hai didn't want to see her troubled look any more, so he sighed and said, "Young lady, I'm fine here, and the servant is leaving first."

Miao Li's heart was flustered, and she saluted dully, "Respectfully, my lord."

Seeing Wei Hai walk a few steps away, he stopped him again, "My lord, is your lord alright now?"

"It's a good thing that He Guang found out in time that the prince's injury is not serious, and his life is not in danger. The girl doesn't have to worry."

Miao Li nodded and retreated.Caring about people and doing things like before, Wei Hai really couldn't understand her, "Since the girl cares about the prince so much, why does she treat him like that?"

Miao Li didn't answer directly, but said: "My lord, you made me think about what I thought that day."
