Chapter 222 This Tea Is Poisonous

She called, "Xia Xia, what are you doing?"

Zheng Xiaxia didn't dissect her, but squatted up and reached out to touch the tea on the ground, put it next to her breath and smell it, "This tea is poisonous, so dangerous!"

The queen panicked and asked: "Poisonous? This tea was brought by an old palace official today. Could it be that she wants to kill me?"

She smiled: "When the servants left, I told you that they are not allowed to come near here."

"She wants to kill people, how can she listen to this? I was too sleepy to ignore it temporarily, and sent the old palace lady to ask her why she wanted to poison her."

She turned around and planned to come in to call for someone, but was stopped by the queen, "Wait, these people have been guarding this palace for many years. They have never had any grudges against me. There is no reason to kill me. Don't startle the snake, let this palace think about it." Think about what to do."

The queen sat down on the chair and breathed heavily. The palace maid had no reason to kill her, and there must be someone else who wanted her to die.She closed her eyes, fortunately there was Zheng Xiaxia by her side, otherwise she wouldn't have known she was being murdered by someone secretly, no wonder the old palace man came in today with a ghostly and silent sound, thinking about it at the beginning was really scary.

Early the next morning, the queen called all the maids. There were two elderly palace maids who were in charge here, and several court ladies and eunuchs who were sixteen or seventeen years old were sent here after being punished.She brought the guards, but everyone was called to the courtyard, and the queen still didn't catch a glimpse of the old palace man who delivered the tea yesterday.

She asked the guard: "Have all the people here before arrived?"

The imperial guard said very respectfully: "Report to the empress, all are here."

Now that they are all here, who is the one she saw?
She inquired one by one, no one came to the Qingxin Hall yesterday, they all kept their duties according to her instructions.This made the Queen confused again, could it be that the person she saw was a ghost?
She posed questions to her, the queen shook her head, implying that the palace maid she had seen was not there.If she couldn't find anyone, it would be hard for her to make trouble with these people, so she had to let them go back to work.

In the middle of the night, the queen was awakened by a scream, and when she opened the curtain, she saw her walking with her clothes on and asked, "My lady, are you all right?"

"Madam Su, what was the voice just now? Why is it so creepy?"

She picked up the clothes and put them on her body! "The servant just heard it too, I don't know who called it back, wait for the servant to check!"

"It doesn't matter, let's talk about it after dark. Although calm and strange things happen again and again, I'm afraid that the days to come will be spent in fear."

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, the servant is here to accompany your Majesty!"

The queen sighed, and asked earnestly: "Do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world? She will look at you where you can't see, or stretch out a pair of invisible arms to you when you are careful, scaring you and making you scared." Scared!"

She: "Does the lady believe it?"

The queen sneered, "I don't believe it."

She doesn't believe that there are demons and ghosts in the world, that the dead can come back to life, that in the dark, those invisible hands will reach out to people for no reason, if there are, it is because of human hearts.

Zheng Xiaxia got up slowly, and said to her: "Before leaving the palace, Your Majesty said that Ning Ke can believe that I can tell him to do anything when I need it. Go and call Ning Ke in."

"Yes!"

She took the order to go out, and after Shao Yan led the guard Ning Ke into the hall.Ning Ke was sent by Qi Mingzhi to accompany Zheng Xiaxia when he left the palace, and asked Zheng Xiaxia to tell him to do it indirectly when he had something to do.

Ning Ke was born as a military general, and served as the deputy commander of the palace's internal guards. She is always at the mercy of Qi Ming with her martial arts skills. It was Qi Mingzhi's arrangement to dress up as a guard this time and follow Zheng Xiaxia out of the palace.However, Zheng Xiaxia has not used Ning Ke until January in the imperial mausoleum.

After Ning Ke walked in, she opened the door. Zheng Xiaxia said, "Ning Ke, Your Majesty sent you here with me. Do you know what your mission is?"

After hearing this, Ning Ke knelt down and said, "I know that my mission is to protect the safety of the empress and follow her orders."

Zheng Xiaxia: "Well, I asked you to take care of something in this palace. There are often strange voices in this palace. They say that there are unclean things here, and those things are causing trouble. This palace cannot be peaceful, but this palace No matter how you look at it, it seems artificial. Everyone brought by this palace is naturally trustworthy, but the people here are not so trustworthy by this palace."

Ning Ke: "Your Majesty's meaning..."

Zheng Xiaxia: "You are very smart. This palace wants you to get involved with the pretenders here. No matter what methods you use, if anyone disturbs the peace and tranquility of this palace, no matter where the ghosts are, they will all be wiped out!"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Xiaxia looked at Ning Ke sternly. Ning Ke instantly understood what she meant, and immediately replied: "Young lady, don't worry, no one will disturb your lady Qingxiu after this day. I will definitely wipe out all those pretending to be ghosts here."

The queen nodded in agreement. On the second day, people dragged out more than a dozen corpses outside the palace. The corpses were placed at the gate of the palace. There were also several palace maids and eunuchs kneeling beside them trembling with fear. Ning Ke one by one reveal the face.

She approached each corpse, and Ning Ke covered the corpses after looking at one.

After reading it, he said to the people kneeling on the ground: "You all want to ask why so many people died in a row in the palace, right? I remember that when I first arrived in the palace, there were many strange things. There are unclean things in it, and they will go in from time to time to scare people, Ben Gong didn't believe it at first.

Until last night when Bengong was falling asleep late at night, he heard a unique sound in the mountains, which made Bengong sweat all over from fright.Even if Bengong is down and down, she is still a queen. No matter what dangers come, there are people around her to protect her. Even if she kills someone, she will not dare to enter Bengong's nightmare, but last night, Bengong didn't know what to do. can't sleep.And what about you?A slave who does not serve well may be punished at any time, and a slave who offends may be killed. They may die because they did not serve their former master well.The so-called weird things here may be that the masters were uneasy after death and came to make trouble! "

"But, it was always good before. Although there are often special sounds, they have not been disturbed!" A court lady summoned up her courage and said.

Zheng Xiaxia sneered and said: "Then what you mean is, it used to be fine, but it got worse when I came? They died because I came, right? Yes, they can still live well if I don't come, but Bengong is here, explaining that the stuff here only protects me, not anyone else, if you say that, are you doubting the decision of the seniors?"

The palace maid said tremblingly: "No, no, I don't have it. Miss Xia Xia knows that, I don't mean anything like that."
