If this knife stabbed down, it would be precisely on the point of death. It would be enough to take Rue Yue's life. Senior Servant Jin's eyes turned red!
Dong … At this moment, a faint sound suddenly sounded in the darkness. Jin mama felt her wrist go numb as the dagger in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.
"Who?" She jumped in fright and looked up only to see a black shadow flash past. The moonlight was not bright enough, and before she could see clearly, her back had been stepped on and she could no longer get up.
On the other side, a mama and palace maid hastily walked over and quickly untied the sack. Lian Ruyue came out from the sack, and that mama and palace maid hurriedly went up to help her tidy up her clothes and hair.
A black robed man bowed and said, "Eldest Miss, those two eunuchs have already fainted."
Senior Servant Jin looked fearfully at Lian Yue, who didn't have the slightest intention of falling asleep, and trembled with fear. "You, you …" "You didn't faint …"
"It's weird that I didn't even pass out after drinking three cups of liquor with knockout drugs." Lian Ruyue leaned close to Senior Servant Jin's face and whispered. That beautiful, cold-blooded face was like an ice spear that had been frozen for a thousand years. Under the moonlight, it appeared even more cold and detached.
"What … what is going on?" Senior Servant Jin was confused and her face paled.
"Because the wine that Eldest Miss drank didn't have any knockout drugs and had been replaced by us a long time ago." She stepped on Senior Servant Jin's back with even more force and spoke in a cold voice.
It turned out that after Lian Ruyue had entered the True Sun Sect, Concubine Liang had sent someone to take the identity token and bring Leng Mei into the palace.
At the same time, before leaving the capital, Ninth Prince Feng Yunzheng had already made arrangements for several people in the dark, disguised as palace maids and mama, to enter Consort Liang's Dream Flower Palace.
This time, they knew that Xu Xianfei was hosting a poetry banquet and even invited people from the Xiao family. Thus, they had been secretly investigating the servants that were preparing the poetry banquet by Xu Xianfei's side.
When they discovered that someone was tampering with the wine, they secretly replaced it.
At that time, Leng Mei already appeared in the dark, indicating that she could drink. After drinking it, she pretended to be unwell, closed her eyes and fell asleep, but still listened to what Grandma Jin had to say.
"Cover her mouth." Lian Ru Yue ordered coldly.
"You, what are you trying to do? I belong to the Concubine Xian. You dare to touch a single strand of my hair? You, you can't finish your meal! Hmm, hm …" Cold brows clogged her mouth, and she shook her head vigorously.
"You can't finish all the food, yet you want to drive me around?" Lian Ruyue's expression was cold as she picked up the dagger on the ground. She looked at the blade shining with a cold light, then coldly looked at Senior Servant Jin.
Suddenly, she raised her hand high up in the air, her face expressionless. Without the slightest hesitation, she fiercely stabbed her dagger into Senior Servant Jin's thigh.
A look of disbelief appeared on Senior Servant Jin's face. She painfully twisted into a ball as large beads of sweat dripped from her face.
"Shua!" Lian Ruyue pulled out the dagger as if she was the king of hell, and the blood splashed out.
"Oh, oh …" Senior Servant Jin's legs shook violently, her face as pale as paper.
Lian Ru Yue's face remained expressionless. She raised her hand again and forcefully inserted the dagger into Senior Servant Jin's other leg. She tightly gripped the handle of the dagger and rotated it in her leg …
"Ah …" Senior Servant Jin was in so much pain that her entire body twisted. Her complexion turned from pale to purple as she powerlessly collapsed to the ground, as if she was dead.
Lian Ruyue held a dagger covered in blood and pulled the cloth out of Senior Servant Jin's mouth. She said, "Tell me, what is Princess Xu's plan?"
A weak, cold smile appeared on Senior Servant Jin's face. "I-I won't tell you. Yes, I wanted to kill you, but it had nothing to do with the esteemed. Don't even think about getting me to drag the esteemed mistress out."
Lian Ruyue nodded, her hand playing with the bloodstained dagger. A cold smile appeared on the corner of her lips as she said, "A hardhearted servant treats his master wholeheartedly. Truly touching."
She raised her hand again and stabbed the dagger into Granny Jin's arm — —
"Ugh …" Senior Servant Jin only felt pain all over her body as it spasmed. Blood flowed out, dyeing her clothes and the ground red. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lian Rue in terror.
How could someone who wasn't even fifteen years old be so merciless? This was far beyond her expectations.
"Lian Ruyue has always had the good character to be a beautiful adult. Since you want to be completely loyal to your master, then I'll satisfy you!" She raised her dagger once again. Just as it was about to pierce into Senior Servant Jin's heart.
Senior Servant Jin was suddenly frightened to the point of begging for forgiveness. She hurriedly said, "I'll say, I'll say." She didn't expect that Lian Xiyue didn't have anything to fear.
"Speak." Lian Ruyue's gaze was cold.
Xiao Rou arranged for Xiao Shan to wait at the fake mountain behind the Winter Palace. She did not know that I would kill the County Lord, so she had even planned to hand over the County Lord's personal clothes to Xiao Shan. This would allow the County Lord to marry into the Xiao family and become the young mistress.
Marry to the Xiao family?
"Heh, Xiao Rou really dares to think about it. Isn't she afraid that I will poison his family by poisoning their food when I come to their Xiao family?" Lian Ruyue continued to play with the dagger as she spoke. When Senior Servant Jin heard Lian Ruyue's words, he felt a chill in his heart.
"So, it was Xiao Rou who originally wanted to push me to Xiao Shan. However, you all had planned to kill me and then shift the blame to the Xiao family to conveniently strike at the backer of the Fourth Prince and remove the opponent for the Eighth Prince?" Lian Ruyue asked coldly.
"Yes, that's what it means." Senior Servant Jin's face turned increasingly pale. On her thighs and arms, a large amount of blood flowed out. "County Lord, save … save me …"
"Is this Three Swords Arrow meant by Consort Xian?" Lian Ruyue asked.
"No, that's right, it's the princess' idea. Originally, the consort only wanted to push you over to the Xiao family and marry you off to them, eliminating the eighth prince's thoughts of the county governor. However, the princess said that it would be too much of a waste of time, so it would be better to just kill you with one stroke." Senior Servant Jin quickly said.
"Hello, Wei Ru …" Lian Meng Yue muttered the name, "It's quite sinister."
"County Lord, County Lord …" "Let, let this servant go, this servant …" The blood that flowed out from Senior Servant Jin's body had almost completely soaked through her clothes.
Lian Ru Yue slowly stood up and said, "If I let you go, who will let me go?" Today, if I were the same as before, I would have already become a ghost under your blade. "
"You, you lied to me …"
"I didn't say I'd let you go …" Lian Ruyue turned around and left.
"Ugh …" When Senior Servant Jin saw the dagger stabbed into her chest, she widened her eyes in alarm as she looked at Leng Mei. Then, she tilted her head and closed her eyes, breathless.
