Chapter 184: Dead or Not
The stinky socks belong to Murong Ye.
Last time, Murong Nan took advantage of being drunk and Murong Ye took his socks, and today they finally came in handy.
Chu Xinyue felt very excited just thinking about it.
Since Murong Ye chose to take action today, he would definitely not miss such a wonderful show!
Fighting against heaven and earth is not as exciting as fighting against the hero and heroine you created!
Xue Youli met her shining eyes and nodded gently, "Lan Zheng's eyes are obviously unfocused, please start your performance."
"Okay, watch me!"
Chu Xinyue blinked at Xue Youli, then stood up with a plate of cakes in her hand, "My two princesses, it's a rare opportunity for you to enter the palace. Come and try our Jiuzhou famous osmanthus cake. It's delicious!"
She walked towards Lan Zheng and Lan Luo enthusiastically, and just when she was about to reach the sisters, she quietly tied her right foot with her left foot.
“Hey hey hey——”
Chu Xinyue's body suddenly lost balance and she staggered towards Lan Zheng.
However, she did not fall on Lan Zheng. Instead, she took advantage of no one's attention and quickly put the purse containing the smelly socks under Lan Zheng's nose.
Lan Zheng sat in her seat, looking at Chu Xinyue who fell towards her. Her facial expression did not change at all, and her butt did not move at all.
The concubines sitting nearby heard the noise and turned their eyes to them.
When they saw Chu Xinyue falling on Lan Zheng, they covered their mouths and cried out in shock, "Oh my God!"
Just when everyone thought that Lan Zheng was going to be dragged down by Chu Xinyue and were waiting to see the two of them make a fool of themselves, Chu Xinyue calmly raised her hand and lightly slapped the back of the chair where Lan Luo was sitting next to her, and with the help of her cleverness she stabilized her body in an instant.
"Oh! Yue'er, are you okay?" When Queen Dowager Yin saw Chu Xinyue almost fell, her heart rose to her throat.
Chu Xinyue curled her lips, smiled and shook her head, "It's okay!"
Queen Mother Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I was really scared just now!"
Rong Qingyue, who was sitting to the left of Queen Mother Yin, also patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, Princess Kang is very agile. She scared me quite a bit just now!"
As they were talking, a whistle with a strange tone was suddenly heard outside.
The moment Xue Youli heard the whistle, he turned his head and his eyes met Chu Xinyue's in mid-air.
They exchanged glances and looked at Lan Zheng calmly.
The sharp and long whistle sound makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Yin Xuan'er frowned and looked at Queen Mother Yin, "Aunt, did you hire a musician? Why does the musician's flute sound so bad?"
Others, like her, mistook the whistle for a flute. “Yes, the sound of the flute sounds really harsh.”
Only Lan Luo knew that this was the whistle used by Nanzhao to activate the puppet dragon.
Although she had never used whistle blows on anyone, as a Nanzhao person, she was no stranger to whistles.
Her lover pig has not been successfully trained yet, so it seems that the whistle must be related to her fourth sister.
Thinking of this, Lan Luo subconsciously turned to look at Lan Zheng who was sitting next to him.
However, the moment the whistle sounded, Lan Zheng stood up from her seat as if she had received some kind of instruction, turned around and strode outside.
Lan Luo only had time to see Lan Zheng's back as she hurriedly left.
She guessed that Lan Zheng might have chosen the target of the snake during the autumn hunt.
Could it be that the person who was tricked was Concubine Xue’s elder brother?
Lan Luo guessed for a moment and saw that Lan Zheng had already walked out of the hall.
She immediately stood up and said to Queen Mother Yin, "Queen Mother, my fourth sister is timid and may have been frightened by the accident just now. She wants to go out for some fresh air. I'll go see her!"
Having said that, Lan Luo bowed to Queen Mother Yin, then quickly chased after her.
Chu Xinyue also hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, it was Yue'er who frightened the princess of Nanzhao. Yue'er should go out and take a look too."
Empress Dowager Yin thought that Lan Zheng was a guest who came from afar after all, and if she got frightened in Cining Palace, it would not be good if it got out.
So, she waved her hand to Chu Xinyue, "Okay, go and take a look. If she feels unwell, ask the imperial physician to come and take a look at her."
"good."
Chu Xinyue responded and chased in the direction Lan Zheng left.
Xue Youli rolled her eyes and stood up, saying, "Your Majesty, I know a little bit about medicine, so why don't you go out with me? If anything happens, I can respond in time."
Queen Mother Yin thought that this was indeed the truth, "You can go too."
Seeing that they had all left, how could the remaining concubines in the palace sit still?
"Queen Dowager, why don't we all go and take a look. If the news that the Nanzhao princess got scared here gets back to Nanzhao, the king of Nanzhao will think that we have neglected the two princesses."
Queen Mother Yin knew that these women were not favored on weekdays and had no entertainment in the harem and were very bored, so naturally they wanted to join in the fun and pass the time.
Since she didn't stop the people who left earlier, she naturally wouldn't keep them here. "If you want to go, go out."
"yes."
So everyone immediately put down their cakes and teacups and rushed out to join in the fun.
At this moment, Lan Zheng walked out of Ci Ning Palace step by step in the direction where the whistle came from.
There is a distance of more than ten feet between the outer wall of Cining Temple and the wall of Shoukang Temple next door, forming a small alley.
Lan Zheng walked into the alley with stiff steps.
When Murong Ye saw her, a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes. He then put away the whistle in his mouth and strode towards her. "How is it? Is it settled?"
Lan Zheng did not answer his question, but lowered her head, her hands groping for something at her waist.
Murong Ye looked at her leisurely manner and suddenly became anxious, "I'm asking you a question! Did Chu Xinyue take action after hearing the whistle? Was Xue Youli killed? Is she dead or not..."
puff!
Before Murong Ye could finish his question, Lan Zheng had already pulled out a soft sword from her waist and stabbed it into his abdomen without hesitation.
Murong Ye was always wondering whether his whistle had successfully activated the insects in Chu Xinyue's body, and he was completely unprepared for Lan Zheng.
At this moment, facing Lan Zheng's sudden sneak attack, he was completely stunned.
The long sword stabbed a deep wound in his abdomen, and blood gushed out along the sword.
"W-why?"
Murong Ye raised his head with great effort, his pale and handsome face full of disbelief, "Zheng'er, why do you treat me like this?"
Lan Zheng ignored him completely and even thought the sword was not inserted deep enough, so she continued to push hard inside with the hand holding the hilt.
Murong Ye's abdomen suddenly exploded with severe pain. He felt as if countless sharp steel needles were stirring violently at the wound, causing him to almost faint from the pain!
He opened his eyes wide and stared at Lan Zheng, as if trying to find the answer from her face, "Why...?"
There was no expression on Lan Zheng's face, like a cold and lifeless puppet. Her eyes were without a trace of warmth or emotion.
Murong Ye looked at her, and in a flash, a terrible guess suddenly flashed through his mind.
Could it be that...
No!
How is this possible?
The blood amber that sealed the dragon worm was broken by Lan Zheng herself. She also told him in person that Chu Xinyue was implanted with a puppet dragon.
Why did he feel that Lan Zheng standing in front of him was more like a person controlled by a puppet dragon?
Seeing Lan Zheng grabbing the hilt of the sword, she wanted to stab him to death.
He endured the heart-wrenching pain in his abdomen and, with all his strength, slapped Lan Zheng on the body.
Lan Zheng was immediately knocked flying, her back hit the palace wall, and then she fell heavily to the ground.
Murong Ye used too much force and his chest felt like it was churning with emotions.
The next moment, he felt a fishy-sweet taste in his throat.
He tilted his head to the side and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
However, Lan Zheng seemed to feel no pain at all. After getting up from the ground, she continued to rush towards Murong Ye.
If Murong Ye was just guessing just now, now looking at Lan Zheng's expression and movements, he has already confirmed that Lan Zheng is the one who was bitten!
But Murong Ye was puzzled. Lan Zheng was from Nanzhao, and breeding pigs should have been a piece of cake for her. Why did she breed pigs to Chu Xinyue with her own hands, but in the end the puppet pig invaded her brain?
What went wrong?
Before he could figure out what was going on, Lan Zheng rushed to him again and reached out to pull out the soft sword stuck in his abdomen!
