Chapter 525: Lotus Burial, Her Maid Hears the Secret Between Queen Consort and Eunuch Xia



A maid outside the Phoenix Palace stepped back repeatedly and screamed: "Ghost! Ghost!"

Fu Tong'er stood up immediately.

A maid in the hall came to help.

"What's your name?" Fu Tong'er asked.

"Replying to the Queen, this servant is Zhan'er."

Looking at the little girl who was about the same size as herself, Fu Tong'er had learned from previous experience, so no matter what the little girl called her, she just let the little girl support her and go out, and Hong Yusu followed out holding the Dragon Slaying Sword.

As soon as I went out, I saw a field of white lotus flowers scattered on the west side of the steps of the Phoenix Palace.

The maid came in earlier to report that the murdered palace maids, Rouxi and Fuzhi, were lying there.

Their heads were cut off and put back, with their necks stuffed with white lotus.

There are also white lotuses all over his body.

It's like a lotus burial!

Fu Tong'er took two steps back...

Hong Yusu took a quick step forward to support her!

"well enough?"

Fu Tong'er looked up at the man who was half holding her in his arms. After a long moment, she said, "Don't lie to me, Brother Su."

Hong Yusu closed his eyes, hummed, and then helped her up.

"Call the emperor over!" Hong Yusu ordered Zhan'er beside her.

"Yes, General Hong."

Zhan'er quickly went down the stairs and headed towards Emperor Jing's study. At this time, he should be in the study.

As he passed by the Pepper Room, he heard Eunuch Xia's voice coming from inside: "Master, everything has been done. The Regent has ordered people to go to the tomb of Prince Xian in Zhoushan to get the secret decree, and they will return to the capital within three days."

"No, three days is too long. Emperor Jing's thing makes me sick just by looking at it. Ninth brother, are you planning to raise an army?"

"In my opinion, he hasn't. But if we persecute his little girl, he will definitely overthrow the current emperor and become emperor."

"Is there something wrong with those two palace maids?" asked the Queen's voice.

"Master, rest assured. I have already beheaded those two girls according to the Bailian Sect's methods and have just placed their heads at the gate of the Phoenix Palace. The little girl will be terrified. Then she will complain to the Regent. The Regent will raise an army, and the city will be in chaos. Your brother can take advantage of the chaos to enter the city, kill the Regent, and officially become emperor."

When Zhan'er heard this, she covered her mouth and dared not pass by the door. But she had to pass by this way to get to the emperor's study.

While thinking about what to do, the sound of floating and blowing in the wind was heard from the Pepper Room.

Zhan'er was startled and looked around. There was not even a place to shelter himself, only a water tank.

"I'm leaving now." This was the voice of Eunuch Xia, coming this way.

Zhan'er glanced at the vermilion lacquered door a hundred meters behind him, and then at the large lotus water tank.

………

When Eunuch Xia came out, he heard a gurgling sound and looked towards the large lotus water tank.

I wondered if someone had eavesdropped just now, and had come out after hearing the footsteps and hidden inside?

At this moment, Empress Dowager Xuan came out and asked, "What's the matter, Eunuch Xia?"

Eunuch Xia walked towards the water tank.

Seeing this, the Queen also went to the lotus pond water tank.

"Was someone eavesdropping just now?"

Eunuch Xia looked into the lotus pot, but the lotus leaves blocked his view of the pot.

"Master, if you dare to eavesdrop on our secrets, your life will be over."

As he spoke, Eunuch Xia rolled up his wide sleeves, stretched out his hand and drew a line on the lotus leaf. His slender and wrinkled old fingers were very eye-catching on the flat and tender lotus leaf.

He stared at the large lotus leaf with his cunning eyes, slowly stretched out his old hand with some age spots, and said quietly: "Let us see who dares to eavesdrop on our secrets!"

After saying that, he grabbed the big lotus leaf, pulled it upwards, and threw it towards the sky.
