Chapter 1098 From His Killing Intent

When Su Jiu returned to Mufeng Courtyard, he had just put the medicine pot on the stove, and before he had time to light the fire, Concubine Cixue rushed in like an autumn wind blowing fallen leaves.

She stood by the threshold, staring at Su Jiu with a complicated expression, "Master Hou just left."

"Does he like Miss San's dress?" Su Jiu asked with an innocent smile.

"What do you think?" Fei Cixue walked up to her with her chin raised, walked around her twice, and suddenly pointed at her nose fiercely, "Ah Jiu, Miss Ben is not stupid. The smell of medicine was on his body. When he left Peach Blossom Forest, he actually went to find you. You and Master Hou are clearly old acquaintances! Master Hou is from the Central Plains, so you must be from the Central Plains! You are a spy from the Central Plains, right? ?!"

Su Jiu sat on the twig, carefully lit the fire, and picked up the cattail fan to shake the flames lightly.

The hand holding the cattail fan tightened slightly, she never thought that this seemingly silly and easy-to-deceive Concubine Cixue would also be smart sometimes.

The light in her eyes changed sharply, and she smiled without changing her face: "Miss San was too worried. After I sent Miss San into the Taolin, I was very worried that Master Hou would not be satisfied with Miss San, so he guarded outside the Taolin. When I met Master Hou It was purely accidental. He cherished Miss San and wanted to get you some snacks and tea, but he didn't know where to get them. He mistakenly thought that I was a maidservant in the concubine's mansion, so he asked me for directions. The so-called fragrance of medicine was probably that It's time to get infected."

She talked nonsense, and quietly paid attention to Concubine Cixue from the corner of her eye. The girl's brows were tightly frowned, and then relaxed after a while, "That's right, he really wanted to bring me refreshments and tea..."

She smiled and patted Su Jiu's shoulder, "I misunderstood you!"

Su Jiu watched her leave the medicine hut, subconsciously rubbed his back, only to realize that he was breaking out in a cold sweat at some point.

It turns out that the so-called spies are not so easy to be.

Seeing that the big wedding is approaching, Su Jiu has been helping Concubine Fan Xiang to recuperate her body for two months.

The boudoir is gorgeous and fragrant, Concubine Fan Xiang is wearing loose Tianshuibi pajamas and reclining on the imperial concubine's couch, and Su Jiu is taking her pulse.

After a moment, she raised her eyes, "how?"

Su Jiu smiled, "Missy's body is recovering very well, and it won't be long before she can conceive the emperor's heir safely."

"I'm bothering Ah Jiu these days." Concubine Fan Xiangqiao had a smile on her face, "I thought it would be too vulgar to reward you with gold, silver and jewelry, so I want you to serve me by my side, what do you think? ?”

Three days later, she and Lu Zhi will get married, after which she will live in the palace as a queen.

There are so many women in the palace who love Lu Zhi, fighting openly and secretly. She needs a medical woman like Ah Jiu to be loyal to her.

Su Jiu wished he could enter the palace with her, but he pretended to murmur on his face, "But I was born in the countryside and my status is low, so I'm afraid I'm not qualified to serve the eldest lady..."

Concubine Shanxiang held her hand kindly, "I said you can, so you can. Go back and pack your luggage, tomorrow I will follow Aunt Fang and the others into the palace."

"Tomorrow?" Su Jiu was stunned.

Concubine Shanxiang explained, "Servants and maids serving the master need to enter the palace two days in advance in order to decorate the palace."

When Su Jiu came out of the boudoir, he couldn't help frowning.

She also wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the mansion on the day of her wedding to sneak into the study to find the gunpowder formula, why did she suddenly call her into the palace in advance...

That night.

Su Jiu put on the narrow-sleeved dress of the ghost prison, and Yun Mo's long hair was neatly tied up, and walked briskly out of the Mufeng courtyard.

With only one night left, she must sneak into the concubine's study to find the gunpowder formula.

In the past two months, she has been harassed by Concubine Yunzhi in various ways. In order to show off her family wealth in front of her, Concubine Yunzhi led her around all the pavilions and pavilions in the concubine's mansion, so she found the study in the front yard with ease. Without any effort, he bypassed the patrolling guards and sneaked into the room quietly.

Under the thin moonlight, she searched all over the big study, but couldn't find the so-called gunpowder formula.

"Such an important thing, maybe it's hidden in a secret room or a dark cabinet..."

Su Jiu stroked her hair, she knew that Xiao Tingchen liked to hide secrets very much.

Suddenly footsteps came from outside.

Su Jiu was startled, subconsciously looked around, and finally hid behind the screen.

Someone opened the door and came in.

The maid graciously lit the lamp, and the big study soon became bright as day, the footsteps were slow and chaotic, and there were jokes between men, obviously it wasn't just Fei Yunzhi who came in.

She suppressed her heart that was about to jump out of her chest, and listened attentively.

The person who spoke was Xu Chaozhong's humerus or a staff member of the concubine's mansion, and his tone was very cold and arrogant: "The Lu family has been in the ghost prison for a long time, it is time to replace that chair."

"That's right. The Lu family was born short-lived, and Lu Zhi is even blind! He can sit in that imperial chair, but how can our concubine brother not sit there?! Literary talent and martial arts, concubine brothers are far superior to him, the strong in the ghost prison is king, he You should hand over the talents to the talents!"

An old man spoke slowly: "We are fighting against the Central Plains now, and Xiao Tingchen is a cruel and merciless master. For the sake of big plans, it's better not to act rashly. It's better to wait for the ghost prison to rule the world, and then it will not be too late to help the concubine to take the position."

Su Jiu opened his watery deer eyes, and was taken aback for a while.

It turned out that what the genius doctor Lu said was right, the concubine's family really had the intention of treason.

There was further discussion outside for a while, and finally Concubine Yunzhi made the decision: "Let's wait until the younger sister conceives an heir. At that time, you can go to the father to keep the son. After the concubine's family completely controls the ghost prison court, it will not be too late to ask the youngest son to step aside. "

Everyone says yes.

Another person said: "Three days later, the empress will be married. I heard that the empress loves Lu Zhi very much. If she refuses to help the concubine... You must know that the formula for the black powder is still in her hands."

Concubine Yunzhi's voice was ferocious: "Elder brother is like a father, how dare she refuse to obey? Wouldn't it be better to be a princess of a dynasty than a queen who is a queen?!"

They talked for another half an hour before leaving the big study.

Su Jiu caressed her heart, it turned out that the formula for gunpowder was still in Fei Shanxiang's hands...

In this way, it is meaningless for her to stay in the concubine's mansion, it is better to enter the palace with the concubine fan incense.

The girl pondered, turned around and walked behind the door, just as she opened the door, she met Shangfei Yunzhi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Her heart skipped a beat suddenly, she took two steps back subconsciously, the man closed the door calmly and approached her step by step.

The lights were dim, and when he laughed, it was cloudy and cold, "I knew that there was a little wild cat hiding in the study, but I didn't expect it to be Miss Ah Jiu..."

Su Jiu's heart was beating wildly, and his slender back hit the bookshelf, "You, how do you know—"

Concubine Yunzhi approached her, and casually twirled a strand of her black hair, "Although the study door is ajar, I'm used to leaving a strand of hair tangled between the door when I close the door. Come here tonight, that one The strands of hair are gone...Thinking with your toes, you know someone must have sneaked into the study..."
