Chapter 534

Xiao Chenzi ran fast under his feet, and his figure soon disappeared into the night.

……

When Qiao Biying was sent back to the dark court, someone was waiting for him in the dark room.

With some effort, he supported his body and sat down on the low couch. Looking at the food on the small table in front of him, he asked, "what food did you send this hour?"

The old eunuch who had given him food for 18 years sat opposite him and smiled with a sigh: "it was not allowed. He stuffed some silver in the past and gave me some thin noodles..."

While talking, he raised his hand, lifted the wine pot and filled the wine glass.

He poured two glasses of wine.

Qiao Biying looked down and saw that there were two sets of dishes and chopsticks.

On the small table was the wind lamp brought by the old eunuch, and the fire reflected the dark room vividly.

Qiao Biying took out the torch and lit the oil lamp at hand.

The old eunuch took a look and didn't care.

"It's the first time for us to have dinner together for 18 years, but unfortunately I can't get any decent good wine..." the old eunuch held the glass and said to himself in a low voice: "next time, let's go outside the palace for wine. It's said that there's a good place called Zhuangyuan building, good wine and food..."

Next time——

Joe Bing also picked up his glass.

It's the next life.

"I've been to the top scholar building," he said. "The food and wine are really good. It's a must in Beijing."

"After all these years, remember?"

Qiao Biying nodded "Hmm".

"Since you are familiar with the road, take me..." the old eunuch raised his glass and said in a dumb voice, "come on, drink this wine and have a good sleep..."

Qiao Biying looked at the wine in the glass, but shook his head slightly: "but I don't want to die."

Especially recently, with the contact and intersection with the outside world, he gradually became greedy.

Another is the prescription in the heart nourishing Hall tonight——

He was afraid of the emperor's deliberate temptation and unwilling to expose the affairs of the Duke of the town. He was afraid of implicating Tian'er and the queen, so he temporarily chose to change several key drugs in the prescription. If his wife was seriously poisoned, he couldn't die at this time

The old eunuch sighed slightly: "it's not up to you or me... Drink it and you won't have to suffer any more in the future."

"No, I'm different from you," said Joe Bing, putting down his glass. "I still have something to do."

Seeing him put down his glass, the old eunuch flashed a sad and helpless color at the bottom of his eyes: "you and I are also together. Why do you have to..."

While talking, he also put the wine back, but he found something under one side of the food box——

The short knife with slightly curved blade flashed a sharp cold light.

The old eunuch looked old, but his movements were sensitive. When he got up with a short knife, he leaned over and stretched out his hand to press Qiao Biying on the low couch.

Qiao Biying did not struggle.

In terms of strength, his disabled body has no room for resistance.

But the old eunuch could not see a trace of waiting to die or fear in his eyes.

Hello, everyone. Our public number will send cash and coins every day. If you pay attention, you can receive them. The last welfare at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Official account [book store]

The old eunuch secretly felt something strange, and in order to eliminate the uneasiness in his heart, he had to raise his knife immediately to stab it - this knife can easily cut the other party's throat, the other party is free, and he is free from now on!

However, as soon as the short knife in his hand was raised over his eyebrows, the old eunuch's action suddenly gave a meal.

In the next moment, I felt that the feeling of paralysis and weakness quickly spread to my whole body. The short knife fell from my hand. People also threw themselves on the narrow table in front of me and gasped hard.

"... you... You poisoned..." the old eunuch stared at Qiao Biying, who stood up. He couldn't figure out when he was poisoned!

Qiao Biying glanced at the flashing oil lamp flame.

He had expected that he would suddenly be taken to the holy face today——

Since I have made up my mind to live, how can I do without taking precautions in advance?

The old eunuch struggled to touch the short knife. The sound of gasping was like the harsh sound of the old window lattice beating and playing for the wind in the rainy night.

He fell into this job because of the other party. How can he die while the other party is alive! No, he can't die alone!

When the dry fingers were about to touch the short knife, Qiao Biying picked it up and held it in his hand.

"Puff -"

The blade sank into the flesh and blood of the chest.

Practitioners, especially the gifted, naturally know how to kill with one knife, and try to reduce the time of each other's pain.

"In my next life, you and I will never enter the palace again... When I meet outside the Palace tomorrow, I'll take you to the champion building to eat wine and make amends."

Joe must move down from the low couch.

However, at this time, an impatient urging voice came from the entrance of the dark room: "why don't you come out? You're still waiting to talk back to Ji Gong!"

"Go down and have a look!"

Qiao Biying's heart tightened at the sound.

Sure enough, there are people outside!

This consciousness flashed through his mind. He immediately grabbed the wine pot and fell down.

"Bang!"

With a sound, the wine pot was smashed.

No one agreed with him in advance to take action as the sign——

He's gambling!

He bet that since the queen had found him, she would not let him die easily under the emperor!

And if the queen pays attention, she will not have nothing to check on the emperor's intention to attack him tonight!

But in this deep palace, everyone has scruples, and he is not 100% sure

Qiao Biying moved his body with difficulty, pulled out the short knife in front of the old eunuch's chest, pressed it under him and didn't move.

The emperor never wanted too many people to know about him, so he didn't want to send too many people. If the people outside heard the news, they would come in together and see if he was still alive——

During this interval, they will inhale the poison in the lamp oil. If he is lucky enough and delays long enough, he may still have a way to live!

Qiao Biying fell to the side of the old eunuch and clenched the bloody knife under him.

But no footsteps were heard.

What he could not see was that the two bodyguards outside the dark room had been knocked out by two ghostly shadows.

A dark shadow wanted to go into the dark room, but his companion grabbed his arm: "wait, someone is coming..."

They looked at each other and dragged the two unconscious bodyguards to the dark place to hide and watch temporarily.

A figure came quietly.

The cabinet blocking the entrance of the darkroom was just moved away by the two guards. At this time, there was fire in the brightly lit darkroom from the entrance. Although it was weak, it was particularly eye-catching in the dark.

"There is really a dark room..."

Xiaojiezi swallowed his saliva nervously and left in the dark room.

"Is someone there?"

He asked tentatively in a low voice as he went down the stone steps.

When I entered the secret room, I was surprised to see two figures beside the table.

Dead... Dead?

Is he late?

Xiaojiezi hesitated for a moment and went forward.

He even noticed that his hands and feet were a little soft - he had been in the dark court for a long time and had not seen any corpse. It is said that he should not be so afraid

He went forward and squatted down. When he was about to turn the man over to check, he saw the man suddenly open his eyes, press him under his body, and cover his mouth and nose with a thing.
