Xu Jingzi nodded and washed his face with water. When he went to bed, he saw that Taro Zuo was already lying in bed. His well-maintained face still had the charm of a young girl. Although there were traces of time on it, it was still pleasing to look at.
He couldn't wait to jump into bed, throw back his quilt, and hold on to the left buckwheat for a while.
Zuo Liangliang instinctively resisted and appeared to be very cold.
Xu Jingzi noticed her abnormality and thought for a while before saying, "I have something good to give you."
He groped around in his arms, but couldn't find it.
Zuo Lian suddenly felt danger. A pair of cold scissors flashed behind her back. She subconsciously tightened her grip and slowly put it under the pillow.
"Did it drop just now?" Xu Jingzi muttered and continued to look into his arms, "Found it."
He fished out a hairpin and happily inserted it into the left side of the buckwheat. "This is the latest popular jade-like craftsmanship, and its style is also one of the rarest in the world …" As he spoke, he was startled. He felt that this hairpin was different from the one he had ordered.
Zuo Lian sucked in a breath of air and frowned in pain. "It hurts!"
She took out the hairpin from her hair. The tip of the hairpin flickered with a cold light, unexpectedly polished to an extremely sharp point. It didn't look like a hairpin, but more like a killing weapon.
Shocked, she threw the hairpin. With a ding sound, the hairpin landed on the ground and split into two. The lower half of the hairpin was actually hollow, scattering black powder all over the ground.
"What is this?" The left buckwheat shrieked.
"This... I don't know either. " Xu Jingzi was surprised that there was something else in the hairpin.
He bit his lip and pulled the scissors out from under his pillow and stabbed them at Xu Jing's chest. Originally, she was still hesitant. She was more or less concerned about the kindness he showed her when she was young, as well as the fact that he was Helian Shuang's father. But now that her life was in danger, she no longer cared.
Xu Jingzi obviously didn't expect the woman in close proximity to him to make a move on him. He hadn't been able to move freely in his life, so he was only blinded by the cold light of the scissors. He subconsciously moved his body to the side to avoid it, and the scissors stabbed into his ribs.
Xu Jingzi looked down and saw a large amount of blood seeping out of his chest. It quickly dyed his white undergarment dark red. Only then did he feel the pain.
Even the left buckwheat was completely shocked. He was so scared that he shrunk to the corner of the bed and curled up into a ball. He hugged himself while trembling. In the end, she was still a weak girl. No matter how ruthless she was, she had never dared to try killing someone before. Furthermore, the person in front of her was a man who had been on intimate terms with her for twenty years.
She was only affected by Mrs Liu's words. Her heart was full of doubts and fears. She was always worried that Xu Jingzi would make a move against her, which was why she made the first move.
"Is... "What?" Xu Jingzi fell down on his back, his body twitching and his eyes full of confusion and confusion.
Without caring about his status, Zuo Lianji jumped over his body and jumped off the bed. He threw on some clothes and rushed out, dashing to the door of Helian City and banging on it with all his might.
In his drowsiness, Helian Xianzi heard the faint sound of someone knocking on the door. He seemed to have woken up, but his body could not move.
After an unknown period of time, she was suddenly awakened by a splash of cold water. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Zuo Lian's bloodless face was looking down at her. The candle flame outside the door flickered in the night wind, causing her face to look like a female ghost.
Helian Peng cried out in surprise and sat up abruptly. He shivered as he wiped the cold water off his face and said angrily, "Mufei, what are you doing?"
"Hurry up!" The left buckwheat grabbed her wrist and pulled her out.
Helian Shuanghui hurriedly grabbed a coat and called out, "Mufei, where can I go with my body covered up like this? It's still so cold outside … "
"I... "I killed someone …"
Helian Peng was stunned for a moment. He suddenly flung her hand away. "Who did you kill?"
"Don't worry about it. Just leave!" Zuo Lian trembled.
She had already gone outside to wake up the sedan bearers, and had rushed up to break open the door of Helian Peng's room. At this moment, she was anxiously waiting for her to get on the sedan.
"You are a imperial concubine, killing you is nothing. "As for panicking like this." Helian Peng's face was filled with disdain. In her eyes, an ordinary person's life was no different from an ant's. If a imperial concubine were to kill a commoner, no matter what they did, why would they panic?
"You, you, you … You don't understand. "
The strength of the left buckwheat was beyond her imagination. It was so heavy that she stumbled after it, shocked beyond belief.
After he got on the palanquin, he heard heavy breathing sounds coming from the left, followed by the sound of crying.
"Mufei, what did you do? Kill who? " Helenglin became aware that the person she had killed was extraordinary, and he became suspicious.
At this time, Zuo Lian had also recovered some of his rationality, and as he swung in and out of the sedan chair, he recalled the love and joy of his youth, and the love she had felt for him for the past twenty years. While she was terrified, she also felt a little sad, and the more she thought about it, the more regretful she felt.
No matter how much Helian Peng pressed her, she just shook her head and cried, praying for Xu Jingzi to live on.
This matter couldn't be said about Helian Xiufeng. If she knew that her biological mother had killed her biological father, would she recognize her as an imperial concubine?
Back at night, he went to the side door of the palace. Zuo Lian was rushing back to his own palace, but he met someone on his way and was stopped by someone on his way.
"Yi, isn't this Imperial Concubine Zuo?" Helian Yu held his hands behind his back. Behind him were two eunuchs holding lanterns in their hands. They appeared to be neatly dressed. It was unknown what they were wandering around in the palace in the middle of the night.
Zuo Liangliang suddenly raised his head, his ashen face was filled with fear: "You …." What are you scaring so much in the middle of the night here? "
Helian Yu raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes to look at the sky where the stars were sparse. He smiled faintly, "The Yin hour is nearing midnight. Why is Imperial Concubine Zuo still in the middle of the night?" However, this was rather strange. Shouldn't Imperial Concubine be on top of the mountain at this time? "In the past, you always went for three days every year to pray for blessings."
Zuo Lian's face was even paler and paler, but he still said, "It's none of your business." He had to go around him.
Helian Yu moved to block their path.
Helian Peng was already extremely furious in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that Helian Yu was the only one she was afraid of in the palace, she would have already kicked him. She glared at Helian Yu and said with furrowed brows, "Big Brother Crown Prince, there is a difference between males and females. An adult prince should distance himself from the imperial concubine of the imperial harem. This isn't good for you."
Helian Yu gave a rare smile. "Good or bad, Seventh Sister does not have the final say."
He gave Zuo Lian a deep look. "There will always be a time when Imperial Consort Zuo can come find me, right?"
Lefty bowed his head and walked past without a word.
Helian Yu, who was behind her, said from afar, "The scenery on the Emperor Mountain is not too good. Imperial Concubine Zuo must have not received any response from the Divine Buddha because of this prayer. That's why she's in such a bad mood, right?"
Zuo Lian paused for a moment and then ran away as if he was escaping.
Helian Yu leisurely walked to the east palace. Behind him, a eunuch smiled. "Does Your Highness believe that she will come back to find you?"
"She has nowhere else to go. Who else can she go?"
