The door was locked again.
Zheng Baosu didn't even raise his head and just ate the rotten leftovers.
Suddenly, he froze and felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He frowned and pressed his chest tightly, trying to relieve the pain, but the pain did not ease but became more intense.
Finally, his throat moved and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
Bang--!
The bowl in his hand also fell heavily to the ground, making a crisp and harsh sound!
The noise immediately attracted the attention of the imperial guards stationed outside. They immediately kicked the door open and rushed in.
“What!?”
No one responded to the reprimand, but the scene before them made everyone present feel nervous.
There was blood at the corners of Zheng Baosu's mouth, his eyeballs bulged out, and his facial features were distorted due to the pain. In the dim night outside the door, he looked like a ghost coming to take his life!
A guard's eyes fell on the broken bowl on the ground, and he was shocked, "Oh no! This rice is poisonous!"
The others reacted immediately, "There's something wrong with that palace servant who just delivered the meal! Quick! Catch him!"
One team stayed behind, while the other team turned around and ran outside!
Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Zheng Baosu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no word uttered. His eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.
Now everyone was a little panicked.
"Quick! Go and report! Someone has poisoned Zheng Baosu and is trying to kill him! And, and more! Go and ask someone to come and take a look! Zheng Baosu must not die!"
This is the prisoner that Your Majesty will personally interrogate tomorrow!
If they die here tonight, all of them will be charged with dereliction of duty and incompetence!
"That man just now - we must not let him get away!"
…
The palace servant who had just walked some distance was now walking quickly towards the palace gate.
Fortunately, it was night time and there were not many people guarding the place. Even if he walked faster, it would not attract anyone's attention.
He moved nimbly and quickly, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with the terrain of the palace.
Soon, he came to a remote corner of the palace wall.
Obviously, not many people come here. It is overgrown with weeds and some unwanted debris is piled up here.
He walked through it and finally moved a few wooden boards against the wall.
A dog hole suddenly appeared.
His heart began to beat rapidly.
——If we accomplish this tonight, we will have endless wealth and glory in the future!
That was a fortune that he could never accumulate even if he stayed in the palace until he died of old age!
Thinking of this, he became even more excited and lay down, ready to get out.
suddenly!
Something flew past him quickly!
He was startled, jumped up suddenly, and looked around in panic.
"who!?"
A sneer suddenly came from above.
"You even dared to kill Zheng Baosu, how can you be so timid?"
It was the voice of a young man, and there was a hint of teasing in his voice.
But the palace maid was so frightened that she trembled all over!
He subconsciously looked up, and saw a man in night clothes sitting lazily on the palace wall, leaning on one hand and holding a bone fan in the other, which he closed with a "snap".
Elegant and romantic.
It was too dark and the palace servant couldn't see his face clearly, but he couldn't care less now!
What the other party just said proved that he was coming for him!
The palace maid turned around and ran without even thinking!
However, as soon as he turned around, he suddenly froze in place.
——Not far away, the imperial guards were holding torches, looking majestic and had already blocked his retreat! (End of this chapter)
