Fourth Lord's Black Moonlight Queen

Chapter 456
"know?"

Xu Zhen saw that Li Jingui's expression was different, so he turned to look at the strange court lady covered by a white cloth.

"Oh, I have met several times in the Forbidden City before."

"Su Peisheng, how old is she?"

"For the record, she's turned 28 this year."

Li Jingui was a little surprised, why hasn't she been released from the palace at this age?

"Why did you put it in the Yuanmingyuan as an errand?"

It stands to reason that the maids serving in the palace can be released from the palace when they reach the age of 25.

unless…

"Back to sister Jingui, this Jinxiu used to work in the Yikun Palace of Empress Yifei. According to the records, she offended Yifei and was sent here from the Forbidden City!"

"Bring her to a nearby vacant house, and I will help her groom."

Li Jingui handed Liuli the bamboo basket in his hand, and walked to the side of Jinxiu's corpse with a solemn expression.

"At least get to know her once."

Li Jingui said quietly, her clenched fists were hidden in her sleeves, but her expression remained the same.

"My lord, there is news from the Forbidden City."

Nanny Ying came to look for Fourth Master in a hurry, it seemed that someone came from the Forbidden City.

"Grandpa will come as soon as he goes."

"Go and do your work."

Li Jingui followed Su Peisheng and moved Jinxiu to the Buddhist hall in the Lion Garden.

At this time, she pushed everyone back, and knelt down in front of Jinxiu's corpse with a panicked expression.

"Who are you? Who am I?"

She used to have a bracelet that was exactly the same, and it was lost after she left the palace when fourth master had an accident in Haining Mansion.

Maybe it was such a coincidence, maybe Jinxiu picked up her bracelet by accident?

So she nervously took the bracelet off Jinxiu's wrist.

If she remembers correctly, there is a wolf's head engraved on the inside of the bracelet, and directly below the wolf's head there is a word Lan written in Xiaozhuan.

really!At a glance, she saw the impressive wolf head, the wolf, which is the clan emblem of the Niu Hulu clan.

But the seal engraved under the wolf's head is embroidered characters.

Lan?embroidery?This dead court lady is called Jinxiu, what about her?Could it be Jin Lan?
Or is it that the women of the Niu Hulu clan all wear this kind of bracelets on their wrists?

There are too many doubts, who is she?This is the deepest secret she hides in her heart, because she is not the real Li Jingui.

The little maid named Li Jingui was beheaded by the executioner as early as six years old in a thunderstorm night.
I can't imagine that if fourth master knows that the woman who has been with him all these years is a complete liar.

And this liar watched the murderer kill the most important woman in Si Ye's life. He... would probably execute her Ling Chi.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

A flashy face that often appeared in nightmares appeared in her mind, and she would never forget the six months of staying in Yikun Palace in the dark for all eternity.

There are also those seventeen little maids who are similar to her age, they are like Gu worms locked in a urn and fighting each other, while she is stepping on those seventeen fresh lives, living a humble life.

The high-ranking woman said: You don't have to be sensible to survive, you have to be ruthless. This world only talks about winning or losing, regardless of reason.

Before today, she had never seen Jinxiu at all, if she hadn't seen this bracelet on her wrist just now, she wouldn't even have had too much trouble in her heart about Jinxiu's death.

In the deep palace, court ladies like them are like ants, no, they are not as good as ants.

Because at least the ants are free themselves, and she is just an involuntary puppet.
