late at night.

In such a huge palace, only a few lights can increase the temperature of the dark and cold palace.

In the abandoned yard not far from Qingfang Palace, Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, looked at the strong tied on the ground expressionlessly, and looked at the palace maids with a trembling body.

Both Wu Qing and Wu Rou sisters were holding a short dagger in their hands, and their pretty faces stood not far away.

The abandoned yard, which was already deserted, added a little chill.

There was no slight fluctuation on Zhu Xu's face. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly looked up at Wu Qing and Wu Rou, and said indifferently, "Didn't I ask you to arrange to change her before?"

As Zhu Xu spoke, the maid trembled again.

Wu Qing glanced at her sister and replied, "She is the old man from Kunning Palace, and Sister Huan'er is reluctant to do so."

Zhu Xu frowned, looked at the maid and said, "What's your name?"

The maid kept lowering her head and trembling all over. Hearing this, she looked up at Zhu Xu, then lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "Love love son."

"age."

"sixteen."

"Hometown."

"I was sold to the palace since I was a child, and I don't know where my home is."

"What kind of empresses have you served?"

"Always in Kunning Palace."

"How to be bought by Keshi..."

The love opened his mouth and was about to answer, but in a flash he closed his mouth tightly again, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Zhu Xu looked cold and said lightly: "Since you are an old man in the palace, you naturally know the rules and murder the queen and prince. Even if I let you go today, do you think Keshi, who is difficult to protect now, can protect you?"

Ai Er still said nothing, kneeling there, lowering her head, unable to see any expression.

Zhu Xu frowned slightly and said, "Since you don't speak, it will be of no use to me. Wu Qing and Wu Rou, you throw her into the dry well behind and seal it."

"It's Your Highness!"

Wu Qing and Wu Rou agreed, stepped forward and grabbed her love and dragged her outward.

Suddenly, Ai Er screamed and looked at Zhu Xu with horror, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I have something to say..."

Wu Qing and Wu Rou's movements stopped immediately. Ai'er struggled to kneel down, calmed down, and shouted to Zhu Xu: "Your Highness, the ancestor has returned to the palace, you can't do anything to me!"

Zhu Xu smiled coldly and said, "Don't you know? I don't know how many palace maids and eunuchs disappear in this palace every year. There are not more than you, and there are not less than you!"

My son knelt there, lowered his head, looked frightened, bit his lips, and his eyes flashed.

Zhu Xu's eyes were filled with cold light and said, "I'll give you one last chance to say something that works for me, or you can fill the well!"

Aier's lips were bitten and she suddenly looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Highness, if you can guarantee that you can let me go and arrange for me to leave the palace, I will tell you a big secret!"

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, and it turns out that those who follow Keshi are not good people. He is very scheming at a young age.

Zhu Xu said coldly, "It depends on whether your secret is enough to buy your life."

Ai'er knelt there, her body seemed to be cold. She shrank her neck from time to time, pursed her lips, and looked at Zhu Xu and said, "This is definitely a big secret, it must be enough to buy my life. Swear, you will send me out of the palace."

Zhu Xu took a few steps, leaned over and looked at her with a narrow eye, and smiled and said, "You can bet now. Either I will fill you in the well and bury you, or I will send you out of the palace if you say it."

Ai'er looked at Zhu Xu, her face turned pale and shivered.

Zhu Xu raised her waist and looked down at her and said coldly, "Tell me."

Ai'er was still struggling. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, if you don't let me go, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

After saying that, she glanced back and forth, bit her lip, and said, "Old ancestor, she, she raised more than a dozen fake eunuchs in Xian'an Palace. I accidentally discovered it in the secret room inside the bed."

Zhu Xu's eyes suddenly narrowed and looked down at her beloved. It turned out that she was not an ordinary person. She even knew such a secret, and she lived to this point. If he hadn't had the intention to make up for it, she would have succeeded.

However, the secret of Keshi is indeed not simple and meaningful to Zhu Xu. He has been worried about how to deal with Keshi. Whether the previous court turmoil or the previous discussion on leaving the palace, it is not Keshi's own problem. Either Wei Zhongxian was with him or it was out of etiquette.

These are irrelevant to Zhu Youxiao, and they will not damage Keshi's status in his heart at all. No matter how turmoil in the court is, as long as Zhu Youxiao cares about Keshi, she will always have a way to come back.

But this time it’s different. Keshi and Zhu Youxiao have a special relationship, and this kind of thing is particularly sensitive.

Zhu Xu thought for a while, then turned to look at his beloved son who was still kneeling there, looking at his beloved with anticipation, and pondered, saying, "Go back, let's pretend that what happened today hasn't happened, and you're thinking about how to explain to Keshi."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Qing and Wu Rou and said, "Let her go back, no word of what happened today is allowed to leak out."

The two sisters didn't know why Zhu Xu let the maid who murdered the queen and prince go, and hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Your Highness."

The love's rope was untied and collapsed on the ground. When he remembered that he was about to leave the palace, he no longer saw Zhu Xu's shadow.

Not long after returning to Jinghuan Palace, Zhu Xu looked glad.

Because Guiren Feng had an abortion.

Cao Huachun stood in front of Zhu Xu, feeling a little scared. He was also an old man in the palace, but this was the first time he was trying to murder the prince so openly.

"The old witch's methods are really amazing."

Zhu Xu had to admire that although Concubine Feng was a transparent person in his eyes, even the queen didn't know about this kind of news. The old witch let her have a miscarriage directly, and she probably had no other choice in the infiltration of the harem.

‘However, I still have to deal with Zhou Yingqiu first.’

Zhu Xu thought to himself that there was an unpredictable Zhou Yingqiu outside. If he hadn't noticed that the person behind him was him, it would probably not be so easy.

He was powerless about Concubine Feng's affairs, waved his hand to Cao Huachun and said, "Let the emperor worry about this matter, go back to sleep."

Cao Huachun could also guess that this matter would probably be left in vain. He agreed and went down.

Zhu Xu was not sleepy and came to the study room. Just as he was about to sit down, he saw a line of beautiful small characters on the white paper on the desk.

‘Yesterday, the flute sounded, and the morning was so ill, and I was confused and there was tears again.’

Looking at this poem, Zhu Xu shook his head secretly. Yao Qingqing was deeply in love with Bi Maokang, but both of them were careful and did not dare to take a step forward, so they dragged it to the present.

"It seems that she has to be arranged to go out for business."

Zhu Xu thought that the arsenal was under secret construction, and it was time to meet the future inventor of the flintlock rifle.

Zhu Xu picked up the paper, folded it aside, took out a book by himself, and slowly looked at it.

It is very troublesome to compare simplified and traditional Chinese. Some words are easy to recognize, while others are completely incompatible. Even now, he still struggles to read them occasionally.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while and suddenly thought of the allusion of Hongxiu Tianxiang, and couldn't help but say to himself, "Yao Qingqing probably didn't sleep. Should he shout her up and read it to me?"

He shook his head again, Yao Qingqing was not his red sleeves.
