Chapter 28 Assassination
Luofengpo is very big.

Their horses were used to transport things, and they could only cross on foot.

The mountain road is rugged and it rains frequently. Calculating the time, it will take at least five days.But as long as we get through these five difficult days, the journey ahead will be much easier.

Zhao Yuyi gave himself a death order.

Fu Jiao must be killed before returning to Beijing.

God does not make beauty.

In the evening, it suddenly started raining in the gloomy sky.Different from the continuous drizzle in the past, this rain is getting heavier and heavier, and a vast white mist is steaming between the sky and the earth.

Fu Jiao and Zhao Yuyi held the only two umbrellas, and their skirts and shoes were soaked.

The oilcloth could not withstand such heavy rain. A group of people were getting soaked in the rain. Sinan and Sibei, who were exploring the road ahead, ran over and said happily: "There is an abandoned earth temple ahead, which can provide shelter from the rain!"

"Great."

Zhao Hao wiped the water from his face and ran over immediately.

Everyone arrived soon after.

This earth temple is not big.The low eaves and simple and rough walls have become more and more dilapidated due to the ravages of time.A pair of couplets can be vaguely discerned in front of the door. The first couplet is: If you do not cultivate your virtue, I will kill you; the second couplet is: If you do not correct your mistakes, will you come to see me?

It was raining torrentially at night.

Fu Jiao held an umbrella and watched in front of the Earth Temple for a while. She didn't feel anything was wrong. Then she picked up her skirt and walked in with confidence.

Entering the temple, everyone busily began to lay the floor.

Fu Rudi lit the fire and put the dry food he brought on the fire.When the steamed buns were slightly browned, he handed them to Fu Jiao, "Eat something."

"Brother, please eat first."

Fu Rudi couldn't help but stuff it into her palm, and he couldn't tolerate Fu Jiao's slightest refusal.

Fu Jiao is tired of eating steamed buns and wootou these days.She felt hungry even if she didn't eat, and felt uncomfortable after eating. She didn't want to refuse Fu Rudi's kindness, so she started chewing on it.

As a pampered eldest son, Zhao Hao is not picky at all.

He took a big bite of the burnt tortilla and was still thinking about Fu Jiao's glutinous rice: "I saw there were banana leaves outside just now. Let's make some glutinous rice to make rice dumplings."

"Look ugly, think beautiful."

Fu Jiao rolled her eyes.

There was only so much glutinous rice, and she would never move until she left Luofengpo.

Zhao Hao smiled sheepishly and made various excuses: "It's not that I'm greedy. I thought Zhaofu must not have eaten anything good, and I wanted her to eat a few mouthfuls of warm rice dumplings."

Fu Jiao raised her eyebrows.

She glanced lightly at Zhao Yuyi in the distance but did not answer.

Zhao Yuyi didn't know what was wrong.

After entering the Earth Temple, he stood with Cuiyue, chattering something, as if he was quite prejudiced against this group of people.

But Fu Jiao is not worried.

She smiled slightly at Yan Ji behind Zhao Yuyi.

"Cuiyue, I can't wait any longer."

Zhao Yuyi's plans were thwarted one after another, and she had such a bad temper that she wanted to stab Fu Jiao to death with two knives.

Cuiyue felt uncomfortable seeing this.

Fu Jiao couldn't fall out of the trap and drank poison, so she was really at odds with the princess.If such a person stays in the world for one more day, Zhao Yuyi's life and death will not be guaranteed.

Cuiyue almost watched Zhao Yuyi grow up, and she would not allow the princess she loved and respected to die on such mysterious and mysterious matters.

Cuiyue made up her mind.

She had fierce eyes, silently peeping at Fu Jiao who was smiling beautifully in the dark, and said resolutely: "Princess, what you want, I will do for you."

Zhao Yuyi was startled.

She asked blankly: "What do you want to do?"

Cuiyue quickly gestured with the knife on her neck, "It's quiet tonight, I will do it on my own, you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Cuiyue..."

Tears welled up in Zhao Yuyi's eyes.She looked at her loyal servant, and her resentment towards Fu Jiao increased countless times: "It's all her fault, it's all Fu Jiao's fault!" Zhao Yuyi held Cuiyue's hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you after the matter is completed. No worries!"

Yan Ji, who overheard all this, was obviously shocked.

She looked at Zhao Yuyi in confusion.

I don’t understand why Zhao Yuyi left the princess alone and wanted to provoke that little ancestor who was extremely capable.

After thinking about it, Yan Ji turned around and flew towards Fu Jiao to tell the news.

*
The rain shows no signs of letting up tonight.

After the group had eaten and drank enough, they each cleared a corner of the Earth Temple and began to rest next to each other.

Fu Jiao was originally supposed to be next to the two women Zhao Yuyi and Cui Yue.

But tonight she and Zhao Hao talked and laughed for a long time. In the end, neither of them could resist their tiredness, so they lay down on the spot with two futons separated and slept fully clothed.

midnight.

Cuiyue has been observing her actions.

Zhao Hao, who was sleeping on the left side, quickly fell into sleep, but Fu Jiao, who was sleeping on the right side, was tossing and turning.After a while, Cuiyue saw Fu Jiao getting up and going outside to relieve herself.

When she lay down again, after a while, she heard a sweet and gentle snoring.

Cuiyue breathed a sigh of relief.

She calculated the time and waited until early in the morning when everyone was sleeping the deepest, then she quietly pulled out a sharp dagger from her arms.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rustling of leaves through the forest could almost cover up all the noise.

The dagger reflected a silver light in the night.

Cuiyue came to Fu Jiao, gritted her teeth, raised her hand suddenly, targeted her heart and stabbed downward -

"what!!!"

A scream that echoed through the sky almost shook the ruined temple.

Zhao Hao sat up suddenly and hugged his left leg with a dagger stuck in it. He was shocked, angry and afraid: "Who stabbed me?!"

In an instant, everyone was awakened.

Sinan and Sibei immediately lit the fire.

In the bright firelight, Cuiyue still maintained the assassination movement, as stiff as a sculpture.

how come……

how come!
She observed it all night!The person sleeping here is obviously Fu Jiao!

But why did her full blow towards the opponent's heart turn into a knife slashing Zhao Hao's leg?

Zhao Hao held his bloody right leg and asked in a hoarse voice: "Cuiyue? Do you dare to attack me?"

Cuiyue was devastated.

She shook her head weakly, trying to explain: "Your Majesty, I didn't know it was you, I thought it was..." She thought of the two failed assassinations before, and for the first time, she felt deeply afraid of Fu Jiao.

At the same time, Zhao Yuyi was also afraid.

The master and the servant turned their heads in unison and looked at the girl in the corner, who was protected by Fu Rudi like a frightened little animal, and shuddered.

At this point, Cuiyue must not expose their plan.

She looked down upon death and simply stared at Zhao Hao, taking all the blame on her, "Yes! Zhao Hao! You are the one I killed!"

Zhao Hao felt wronged and angry, "What have I done to you? No matter how generous I am, it will not be your turn to eliminate harm for the people!"

"Back then, you teased the old lady, overturned the fruit stall for the disabled, and stole the rabbits raised by others to eat... I remember all of them." Cuiyue said harshly, "As a relative of the emperor, you did such a thing I have long been displeased with your indecent behavior."

Zhao Hao: "...These are misunderstandings! Moreover, that was something I did before I was ten years old!"

Suffering an unreasonable disaster in the middle of the night, because of these ridiculous reasons?
He turned and asked Zhao Yuyi angrily: "What are you doing? Making a lunatic act as a personal palace maid by your side?!"

Zhao Yuyi was heartbroken and sat on the ground dejectedly: "..."

Whatever it is, destroy it.

She quit.
