The two people and their pet each had their own thoughts in the palace.

The maid who had just hidden the paint bucket outside the hall washed away the last bit of blood on the ground with a wooden bucket. She looked around and saw that the guards were attracted by several other people. Her eyes flashed and she retreated to a place not far from the hall door. She took advantage of the green leaves to cover herself, took out the paint bucket from her arms, and opened the secret lock with a ding.

As soon as the secret lock was opened, two colorful little snakes immediately jumped out of the paint bucket and disappeared into the dark corner in the blink of an eye.

The maid's face lit up with joy, and she immediately put away the paint bucket and returned to the guard.

“Okay, that’s fine.

Grab your things and leave quickly."

The guards followed Jiang Wumei's instructions and drove the people away without hesitation after seeing that the ground was clean.

The few people left behind by Chun Yurong did not dare to say a word. When the guards chased them away, they quickly picked up the wooden barrel and handkerchief and ran away.

When they returned to the palace, Chun Yurong's bedroom was brightly lit with candles, obviously not having gone to bed yet.

The maids did not dare to delay and went forward to reply without putting down the things in their hands.

Seeing the few people coming back, Chun Yurong, whose face was red and swollen, twitched her eyes and said:

"Except Hongyu, everyone else should step down."

The maids looked at each other and retreated in unison.

The Hongyu that Chun Yurong mentioned was the one who had just released the snake. After everyone in the hall had left, Chun Yurong stared at her, stood up excitedly, and her eyes were shining:

"How is it? Did you succeed?"

Before going to find Jiang Wumei, Chun Yurong had made two preparations.

First, she restrained Jiang Wumei, allowing Shuiyue to release the snake when the opportunity arose.

Secondly, if Shuiyue is targeted by Jiang Wumei and cannot be killed, let this unprepossessing maid take over the paint bucket in Shuiyue's hand and look for an opportunity to act.

Just now, she accidentally killed Shuiyue with a sword, so she quickly took advantage of the chaos to signal Hongyu to wait for an opportunity to act. She didn't know whether Hongyu succeeded in the end.

Under Chun Yurong's expectant gaze, Hong Yu, who was in a state of disarray, took out the empty paint bucket from her bosom and handed it to Chun Yurong:

"I have lived up to your Majesty's trust and have already placed the snake in the corner of the bedroom.

The embroidered shoes on Concubine Jiang's skirt have been stained with snake-luring powder. Just wait until she falls asleep, and the poisonous snake will take her life in her sleep!

"Good, good, good!

If Jiang Wumei dies, I will reward you with ten ounces of gold!"

After saying three good words in a row, Chun Yurong paced back and forth excitedly, unable to suppress the crazy smile on the corner of her mouth.

She had already begun to imagine how horrified Jiang Wumei's group of slaves would be when they saw her corpse with blood oozing from all seven orifices tomorrow morning!

As she thought about it, Chun Yurong's depression disappeared completely and she laughed out loud nervously:

"Jiang Wumei, you have come to this day!

Don't worry, after you die, I will make all those slave girls in your palace accompany you in the underworld!

When you reach Yama Palace, you will continue to be master and servant."

Looking at the twisted malice on Chun Yurong's face, Hongyu also laughed.

However, she was not happy because she had eliminated a major threat to Chun Yurong, but because she was happy because she had completed the Queen's secret order.

……

Jiang Wumei chatted briefly with Qingzhi, then after drying her hair, she went to bed with the white tiger cub in her arms.

After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, Jiang Wumei quickly fell asleep as soon as she touched the soft pillow.

But Xiao Tong in her arms had no desire to sleep.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that there was a special smell floating in the bedroom today, which made him irritable and uneasy, and he always felt that something was happening.

After Jiang Wumei fell asleep, Xiao Tong raised his tiger nose and sniffed her carefully, but found that the smell seemed to come from under the bed?

His heart trembled, and countless dark guesses flashed through Xiao Tong's mind. He carefully crawled out of Jiang Wumei's arms and jumped down from the bed with his light body.

There was a soft carpet under the bed, and Xiao Tong put his four paws on the ground without making any sound.

He sniffed around the carved bed carefully, and finally fixed his eyes on Jiang Wumei's embroidered shoes inlaid with oriental pearls.

In order to show that Jiang Wumei was favored, all the hairpins, skirts and jewelry Xiao Tong gave her were exquisite.

Even the shoes she wore on a daily basis were hand-sewn by top-notch embroiderers in the capital. Not only were the patterns on the embroidered shoes exquisite, but the inlaid decorations were also made of top-grade oriental pearls.

At this moment, Xiao Tong stared at the Dongzhu on the embroidered shoes for a few seconds, and then his gaze moved to the inconspicuous stain on the front of the embroidered shoes.

At first glance, the stain on the picture looked like it was accidentally scratched, and ordinary people would not notice the problem at all. However, Xiao Tong's soul was that of an animal, and its sense of smell was more than ten times that of humans.

He lowered his head and sniffed the picture, and immediately discovered that the seemingly ordinary dirt on the picture could make people dizzy for no reason, which made him alert.

what is this?

Staring intently at the embroidered shoes, with the help of the candlelight in the hall, Xiao Tong finally realized that the surface of the shoes was not stained by stains, but a gray-black powder.

The smell coming from the powder made his blood boil and his heart restless. It was obvious at first glance that it was not a good thing.

Xiao Tong's eyes turned cold, and without hesitation he bit the embroidered shoes and prepared to throw them out of the hall.

He had just run a few steps when he saw something spitting out tongues and swimming quickly into the hall. The tiger hair on his body instantly stood up and he subconsciously arched his back and growled.

The colorful half-step snakes were like thin threads. They held their pointed heads high and flicked their tongues as they quickly approached Xiao Tong.

Looking at the two poisonous snakes flying with their heads held high in attack, Xiao Tong understood everything in a flash.

Pure jade glory!

Xiao Tong was so angry that he rubbed the name between his lips and teeth that he did not dare to delay. He ran quickly in the opposite direction of the big bed with the embroidered shoes in his mouth. The two poisonous snakes smelled the scent and immediately left two afterimages in the hall, following closely behind him.

Jiang Wumei was still sleeping soundly on the big bed. Xiao Tong could only hold the embroidered shoes in his mouth and run while bumping into the tables and chairs in the hall where jade artifacts were placed, trying to wake her up and make her leave this dangerous place quickly.

His method worked quickly, and soon there was movement from the other side of the big bed.

Tonight, someone died in front of Jiang Wumei, and she was already mentally unstable.

Falling asleep, she soon fell into a nightmare and slept with sweat all over her body.

The moment she heard the sound of jade shattering, she broke free from the nightmare, opened her eyes suddenly, and without even wiping the sweat off her face, she quickly lifted the quilt and got up to check.

When Jiang Wumei saw the white tiger cub running around the hall and the thing behind it, she was stunned for a moment, then her expression changed drastically:

"Xuetuan'er, come here quickly!"
