Chapter 641
The maids guarding both sides of the door immediately bowed their heads and bowed to salute Yan Huichun who came out.

Yan Huichun looked at the Empress Dowager who was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the moon and eating fruits, and walked straight over.

The Queen Mother looked sideways at Yan Huichun when she heard footsteps.He came out alone, without Ling Die's figure, and a faint light flashed quickly in his eyes.

Yan Huichun lowered his head and clasped his fists after approaching, "The night is getting late, the grassroots leave."

The queen mother glanced at Haiyue beside her.

After receiving the hint, Haiyue bowed slightly to Yan Huichun and said, "Your servant will send you a genius doctor."

Yan Huichun looked up at Haiyue with a smile on his lips and said, "Please trouble Miss Haiyue."

Haiyue led the way, Yan Huichun followed her and left Tianyinju.

Seeing Yan Huichun's figure disappearing outside the gate of the inner courtyard, the Queen Mother immediately got up and stepped into the house, and saw Ling Die lying on the ground at a glance.

Mother Yao, who followed closely behind, didn't wait for the Queen Mother's order, and intelligently stepped forward and squatted next to Ling Die's body for a few moments, then stood up and looked at the Queen Mother, bowed her head and said: "Queen Mother, she has died of poisoning. .”

The queen mother stepped forward to look at Ling Die's body, staring at Ling Die's corpse for a while, then suddenly said: "Close the door."

"No." Nanny Yao stepped forward and closed the door.

The queen's voice came from behind. "Dispose of the body."

Mother Yao thought that the queen mother was talking to her, and wanted her to dispose of the corpse, why did she close the door?
When she turned her head, a man in black suddenly appeared in the room at some point, wrapped up Ling Die's body with a sheet, carried it on her shoulders, opened the door curtain and walked into the inner room.

Only at this moment did Nanny Yao know that there was actually a secret passage in Mrs. Zhuo's room!

But who is that man in black?
Walking to the queen mother's side, he watched her side face out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.

"The family is exhausted, you clean up the blood in this house."

"No." Nanny Yao responded, and helped the Queen Mother out of the room.

Watching the queen mother take the maid into the next room to rest, she turned and went back to the house, staring at the pool of poisonous blood on the ground, knowing that it was untouchable.

He didn't dare to wash it with water for fear of contamination, but found a few cotton cloths to wipe it clean, and finally threw it into the courtyard and lit a fire, burned it to ashes, and buried the ashes under a small tree in the courtyard.

The next day, the young tree's leaves became somewhat shriveled and died completely after a few days.

The hidden guard carried Ling Die's body and threw it back into the underground secret room in the west courtyard. When he turned to leave, he hid in the dark and saw Steward Zhou sneaking around, and entered the underground secret room after confirming that no one was there.

Steward Zhou opened the door of the stone room as usual.

He has prepared two things for Ling Die, a bottle of poison and a white silk.

If Ling Die is willing to take the poison obediently, there is no need for him to strangle her with white silk himself.

The heavy stone door opened, and Steward Zhou stepped in.

When he saw at a glance that the corpse wrapped in a sheet on the ground was Ling Die, his mind instantly exploded!Shocked him out of his wits!
In an instant, he came back to his senses and made an attacking posture for the first time. He walked all the way to the courtyard outside the secret room, but he didn't find the imaginary enemy!

Steward Zhou quickly returned to the secret room underground, sitting on the edge of the stone bed where Ling Die had slept, staring at Ling Die's body, which was obviously poisoned to death by others, his eyes kept changing rapidly.

Someone actually broke into this underground secret room!

It was discovered that Ling Die killed her instead of saving her!

What's more important is that the mountains of weapons and treasures piled up outside the secret room have not moved at all!
The more Steward Zhou thought about it, the more frightened he became!
I don't know who discovered the secret of the Prime Minister's rebellion, but the other party just killed a little Ling Die. What's the motive?What is the purpose?

Do you want to report this matter to the prime minister?As soon as this idea came up, he shook his head and vetoed it, and ruthlessly killed it.

If the prime minister learns that Ling Die was killed and the secret of the rebellion is discovered by a mysterious person, he will be the first to die, not someone else!Who let him do things badly!
Otherwise, before the prime minister found out, he would run away immediately?

No!He can't escape!If he escaped knowing so many secrets of the prime minister, he would never want to live in peace for the rest of his life. Maybe he would be killed by the hidden guards sent by the prime minister before he escaped from Zhao country!
Why did the other party just kill Ling Die instead of saving her?Why didn't the weapons and property outside be moved?Even some evidence of the prime minister's rebellion hidden in this secret room was not taken away.

Steward Zhou panicked, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't figure it out!
He couldn't run away, and he couldn't tell the prime minister to seek his own death, so it's better to deal with the corpse first!
Steward Zhou made up his mind, carried Ling Die's body and quickly left the underground secret room to the outside courtyard, dug a hole at the base of the wall, and buried Ling Die in the ground.Just in case other animals found and dug out the corpse, a large tank was moved from the abandoned small kitchen and placed on top of it!
After finishing all this, Housekeeper Zhou took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat stains on his forehead, and went back to his room anxiously, keeping his eyes open until dawn!

The hidden guard who was hiding in the dark watched Steward Zhou bury Ling Die's body with his own eyes, and moved a large vat to press it on top, then turned around and returned to Tianyinju, kneeling on one knee in front of the Queen Mother's bed.

"The subordinates have disguised the corpse as the scene of committing suicide by taking poison and knowing that there is no hope of survival."

The queen mother on the bed sat up through the gauze curtain and responded softly. "Well, even if you have failed this time, if you dare to hurt Aijia's sister a little bit in the future, be careful."

"promise."

"Retreat." The queen mother gave an order, and the dark guard got up and retreated into the darkness.

Unaware of being put together again, the queen mother closed her eyes contentedly and continued to dream sweetly.

In the courtyard of the Jingfu study.

Qing Yi knelt down on one knee facing Jing Rong who had just stepped into the yard. "My lord, the prime minister's office came to report that Ling Die was poisoned to death by the Great Elder. The secret agent buried Ling Die's body under the corner of the west courtyard with the help of Steward Zhou. Butler Zhou was so frightened that he didn't have the guts to escape or dare to escape." Tell the prime minister the truth."

After hearing this, Jing Rong turned and left.

Back in the room, undressed on the couch and hugged Zhuo Nan into his arms.

After sleeping for a few hours, Jing Rong got up and got dressed when he heard the rooster crowing outside.

Looking at the still dark night outside through the window, he turned around and bent down to kiss Zhuo Nan on the lips, then stretched out his hand to push her.

Seeing her eyes open in a daze, she reminded with doting eyes: "My husband has gone to court, you get up earlier and go back to the prime minister's mansion, my husband has no time to accompany you today."

"Oh." Zhuo Nan replied in a drowsy sleep, then closed his eyes for a while and fell asleep again.

Jing Rong stared at her sleeping face, smiled and turned around to comb her hair, and finally fixed it with a jade crown.

Walking outside, Qingliu had already fetched face wash water and put it on the wooden shelf beside her.
