"Get lost! Who the hell wants you to deliver a corpse?

Die with your short-lived master!"

After cursing at Weidong, Xu Junjun said loudly with a dark face:

"You bunch of ungrateful bastards, you really think I'm a young girl who has not seen much of the world and has no tricks up her sleeve!

I tell you, if you dare to kill me today, your master will be buried with me within half a year at most.

If you don't believe me, go back and check his body and see if there are three small black spots on his wrist!"

Wei Dong was stunned at first, then he raised his knife in anger:

"How dare you poison the master!"

Xu Junjun was even angrier than him, and he puffed out his chest, his voice two pitches higher than his:

"What happened to me poisoning you?

You are allowed to kill people, but others are not allowed to poison?!

What are you yelling about? If I hadn't poisoned you, I'm afraid your head would have been chopped off by now!"

Wei Dong raised his knife with a gloomy face and pointed the blade at Xu Junjun:

"Hand over the antidote quickly."

Looking at the crowd that surrounded him, Xu Junjun rolled his eyes and asked in a hateful tone:

"If I hand over the antidote, will you let me go?"

Weidong was silent.

Xu Junjun gritted her teeth and said:

"So I'm going to die tonight no matter what, right?

Okay, I'm not afraid to tell you that I don't have an antidote for the poison in your master's body.

But no one in the world can cure this poison except me!

You decide for yourself whether to cut off my head and return to report, or to let me live and provide your master with the antidote."

As she spoke, Xu Junjun walked to the wall with her arms folded, leaning against the corner to let Weidong hesitate, while her other hand also reached into her arms.

Wei Dong almost crushed the scimitar in his hand. His face, hidden in the darkness, darkened with anger. Finally, he looked at the woman by the wall and said:

"Now, we have no choice but to capture Miss Xu and let the master make the decision."

Having seen Xu Junjun's skills in treating poisons, Wei Dong did not dare to be careless and could only capture her and let his master deal with her.

"That's better. Let me go back and negotiate terms with your master.

move. "

With a hum, Xu Junjun turned around and walked in front, her long hair fluttering up and down with her steps, making her look confident.

Seeing her like this, Wei Dong asked his subordinates to put away their scimitars and quickly followed her.

Everyone hurried back along the path. At a corner, Xu Junjun turned in first, then raised his hands and white powder followed the night wind and hit Wei Dong and others all over the heads.

Everyone was shocked. Wei Dong quickly drew his sword and tried to subdue Xu Junjun, but as soon as he moved, his eyes went black and he staggered and fell down.

There were a few muffled thuds, and several people behind Wei Dong fell to the ground one after another.

"Although this is a hastily made knockout powder, it's more than enough to knock you guys out."

Xu Junjun clapped her hands, spat at them, and walked forward to grope around in Weidong's arms.

After finding 20,000 taels of silver in his arms, Xu Junjun's eyes lit up and she went on to search the next one.

After stealing all the valuables from the men, Xu Junjun tore off Wei Dong's inner clothes, cut his fingers, and wrote a few lines of crooked blood words.

After glancing at the contents with satisfaction, Xu Junjun pressed the blood letter into Wei Dong's arms. She identified the direction and ran in the other direction.

……

Jiang Wumei returned to the palace and had sorted out her mood.

The corpse was not Junjun's, but the Huo family set up a mourning hall for her. She was either out of danger or in danger and unable to escape.

The situation is unclear, and she needs to determine Junjun's current condition before making her next plan.

It would be best to send someone to the agreed location tomorrow to set up a secret signal and then make plans.

Jiang Wumei had something on her mind, and her brows never relaxed. Xiao Tong saw it, and the irritation between his brows did not dissipate either.

The next day, the emperor, feeling depressed, went to court and scolded several ministers for their incompetence. This frightened the other court officials so much that they trembled with fear and spoke more cautiously, fearing that they would do something wrong and anger the new emperor.

After Xiao Tong left Zhongcui Palace, Jiang Wumei also got up to wash and dress.

After breakfast, Jiang Wumei called Qingzhi to her side and whispered a few words to her.

After Qingzhi took the order and left, Jiang Wumei's eyes fell on the large carved bed in the bedroom. She glanced at the corner of the bed before getting up to trim the flowers and plants and arrange other things.

Qingzhi went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get a badge. After leaving the palace with her people, she first went to the Huo Mansion and handed the things that Jiang Wumei had instructed to her to Old Madam Huo and Huo Qiming respectively.

After finishing this matter, she went to another place according to Jiang Wumei's instructions.

When Qingzhi returned to the palace, it was already dark. Jiang Wumei was resting her hand on her forehead, looking through the household account books.

If anything inappropriate is found, mark it with a red pen for future review.

"My Lady, I have left the things there as you instructed. Do you want me to check on them in a few days?"

Qingzhi didn't know what Jiang Wumei's intention was in asking her to do this today.

But out of caution, I still asked one more question.

Jiang Wumei pondered for a moment and nodded:

"Go check in a couple of days. If the item is missing, report back to me."

Today, she asked Qingzhi to place a jade pendant at the place where she and Junjun had agreed to meet.

If the jade pendant is gone after a few days, but six taels of silver are found, it means that Junjun is safe and has escaped successfully.

If the jade pendant is not moved and the silver is not increased, she will have to find a way to ask Xiao Tong to add more people to search for Junjun.

Anticipating the worst outcome, Jiang Wumei felt a pain between her brows. She put the account book aside, stood by the window, and looked at the dark sky with a gloomy look on her face.

Huo Qiming, if Junjun really gets into trouble, she will try to kill him even if it means she will be called the Demon Concubine.

The Huo family, which had received the imperial gift from the imperial concubine, was undergoing another round of criticism and denunciation.

This was the fifth time that Mrs. Huo had met Huo Qiming since she received the news of Xu Junjun's death and was reminded by the precious medicine bestowed by the Imperial Concubine.

Now, Mrs. Huo has accepted the sad news of Xu Junjun's death, but it also means that her grief and anger have reached the extreme.

For several days in a row, Mrs. Huo took medicine continuously. The strong smell of medicine lingered in the room and hit her nose.

Huo Qiming knelt before Old Madam Huo's bed, looked at the white strands in his grandmother's hair, and kowtowed to admit his mistake:

“Grandma, Xu Junjun’s death is my fault.

No matter how you punish your grandson, he will accept it."

Old Madam Huo was completely disappointed with Huo Qiming. Every time she looked at him, her heart ached.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have decided earlier to separate you from Junjun.

If you two had separated, Junjun would never have ended up in such a miserable state.

I'm sorry for her!"

Speaking of the pain point, Mrs. Huo beat her chest, her face full of pain and self-blame.

Nanny Li couldn't bear to watch, so she wiped her tears and hurried over to stop him, choking with sobs:

“Old Madam, when the Young Madam was here, she was closest to you.

Now that she's gone, you need to take better care of yourself so as not to let down the young lady's concern for you."

Old Madam Huo shook her head, tears streaming down her face. She looked at her grandson, who was kneeling on the ground with red eyes, and said hatefully:

“You disregarded Junjun’s life, and I will definitely punish you.

However, before that, you must help me find the murderers who killed Junjun!

If I don't let them pay for Junjun's life, I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die."

"grandmother."

Huo Qiming was shocked by the hatred in Madam Huo's words. He knelt forward two steps and kowtowed heavily:

"Don't worry, your grandson will make them pay with their lives to comfort Mr. Xu's spirit in heaven!"
