Chapter 79 Assassination



"I didn't expect this to be Feitian. Seeing is believing!"

The people in the audience watched intently and were truly amazed by the dance.

I don’t know how long it took, the sound of the piano gradually slowed down until it disappeared, and Su Lijin disappeared from the stage with a jump.

"Why did the flying fairy disappear?"

Everyone reacted and looked around with their heads raised.

Behind the platform, the madam came out with a smile, clapping her hands and saying, "The flying fairy's dance has ended."

After hearing this, everyone finally understood and warm applause broke out in the hall.

"Seeing is believing. This dance is truly unique."

"No regrets in this life, no regrets in this life!"

Amidst everyone's praises, Su Lijin had already changed her clothes backstage.

Seeing the madam approaching, she said, "Keep an eye on everything that happens after today. I'll come back to see you."

As he said this, he stuffed a bag of silver into the madam's hand.

The madam stuffed the purse into her bosom and said with a broad smile, "Don't worry, I'll tell you everything truthfully."

After giving a few more instructions, Su Lijin turned around and quietly left the brothel.

She couldn't stay away from the palace for too long and needed to return as soon as possible.

Just as she returned to her palace without anyone noticing and was about to push the door open, her footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Someone's in the house."

She leaned over to the window cautiously and gently poked open the window paper. There was a person inside with his back to her, sneaking towards the bed.

The person inside was a palace maid. She walked to the bed, raised her hand, took out a sharp dagger, and stabbed it hard at the mattress.

"What happened?" The palace maid's face changed immediately when she found that the dagger had missed the target.

When he suddenly lifted the quilt, a mannequin suddenly appeared on the bed. It was not Su Lijin!

"Oh no, it's not her!"

Realizing that something was wrong, the palace maid ran outside in panic.

"Bang!"

The door was flung open, and Su Lijin looked at the palace maid: "Where else do you want to run to?"

The palace maid's face turned pale. She didn't expect that Su Lijin was not on the bed and was caught and assassinated on the spot!

Thinking of the consequences of being discovered, the palace maid picked up a dagger and stabbed Su Lijin.

Su Lijin dodged cleverly, smashed the porcelain bottle on her leg, and subdued her with her backhand.

"Let me go!" the maid struggled.

"Come here, there's an assassination attempt!"

Su Lijin shouted, and immediately the palace maids and guards rushed over.

Seeing the dagger on the ground, everyone was shocked.

"This palace maid tried to assassinate me. Hurry up and take her away for interrogation." Su Lijin said as he handed her over to the guards.

The guards finally reacted and quickly took orders and escorted the man away.

Looking at the palace maid being taken away, Su Lijin's eyes turned cold.

The next day.

In the prison, under the dim light, there was an air of death everywhere.

In each cell, sparse straw was simply spread on the ground as beds for the prisoners.

In a cold and damp corner, the palace maid, who had changed into prison uniform, leaned against the wall tremblingly, her face pale and her eyes filled with unconcealable fear.

The prison door was opened, and the jailer walked over, opened the door, and pulled her up.

"What are you doing? I am innocent, I am innocent!" The palace maid struggled in panic, but the jailer was very strong and several people held her up, so she could not escape at all.

When she was carried to the front of the prison, the palace maid saw Su Lijin dressed in the queen's palace dress.

"Why don't you kneel down when you see the Queen?" the guard beside Su Lijin said angrily.

The maid fell to her knees and pleaded, "Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

Su Lijin looked at her and said calmly, "You are innocent? I saw you assassinate me with my own eyes, and you still cry out for justice?"

"Do you think my eyesight is bad or my brain is bad?"

The palace maid paused, looked at Su Lijin with some fear, and said nothing more.

"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate me?"

The clothes worn by this palace maid were those of an ordinary palace maid. There were a lot of such palace maids in the palace, so it was impossible to confirm who was the mastermind behind the scenes.

The palace maid clenched her fists and kept silent.

Su Lijin said, "You should know that assassinating the queen is not only a capital crime, it is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family. Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"

Her body trembled slightly, and the palace maid lowered her head, never saying a word.

Seeing this, Su Lijin frowned slightly. She was in a bit of a dilemma. Just as she was thinking about how to interrogate him, a eunuch's voice sounded, interrupting her thoughts.

"The Emperor has arrived."

Su Lijin looked up and saw Xiao Shengxing, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walking in.

"Can't pry her mouth open?" Xiao Shengxing raised an eyebrow.

"There has been no progress yet." Su Lijin admitted.

Xiao Shengxing smiled: "So there are things that the Queen finds difficult to handle."

Su Lijin turned around and ignored him.

Xiao Shengxing winked at the side.

The chief eunuch understood what he meant and bowed quickly. He then walked over to the maid and said expressionlessly, "Help her get to the interrogation pillar!"

The palace maid sensed something and her body began to tremble like a sieve.

The jailer tied up the man, then brought the interrogation instruments as instructed and placed them in front of him one by one.

Looking at these things, the maid's face turned completely pale, and she said in horror: "You can't do this to me, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please go around me..."

The eunuch picked up the whip and whipped her hard. The palace maid screamed and her body was covered in blood.

Su Lijin walked away with her back to this place. She didn't expect Xiao Shengxing to help her interrogate.

But since he wants to judge it, it’s fine for him to do it.
