Chapter 200 Su Jixue shows off his power and finds Zong Kui
"It's Nanny Jiang. Our young lady is a little tired and has gone to bed." Although Chunya felt uneasy, she still raised her foot to block Nanny Jiang's way.
The young lady had just lain down and couldn't be disturbed by such a dangerous person.
"It turns out that Miss Su has already gone to bed. That's such a pity." Nanny Jiang glanced at the bed curtain inside with some regret, as if to confirm whether Su Jixue was inside.
Although she said so, Nanny Jiang had no intention of leaving at all.
There was a smile on her face, but the fierce light in her eyes seemed to spread from the air, which made Chunya shocked for the young lady.
Especially Nanny Jiang, she smacked her lips, as if she was drooling over Su Jixue.
Chunya's fists were stiff.
Not only Chunya, but even Su Jixue's fists stiffened. When she lay down and formed the seal just now, her soul had already left her body.
It was different from before when she was always around the War King or in the jar full of Ji Xue's blood.
This time, Su Jixue seemed to be able to move freely.
So, she saw the scene in the hall clearly.
Su Jixue glanced coldly at this Madam Jiang. She had some impression of this person. This Madam Jiang was actually even more low-key than Ziwei. She hardly left the palace. Most people didn't know about this Madam Jiang. She was almost unknown.
But Su Jixue remembered that this person had a high-risk mark in the file.
And now Nanny Jiang seems to be interested in Su Jixue.
Su Jixue looked at Nanny Jiang meaningfully. If she didn't provoke her, it would be fine. But if Nanny Jiang wanted to provoke her, then she might as well give it a try.
Su Jixue turned around and left through the wall.
The moment she left, Nanny Jiang seemed to have sensed something and glanced in the direction Su Jixue left.
Seeing that there was nothing inside, Nanny Jiang jumped out of the hall, but still did not see any suspicious figures.
Chunya's body stiffened, and the tense feeling of being on the verge of danger finally relaxed.
Nanny Jiang frowned and looked at the empty palace building outside, as if she was lost in thought.
At this moment, Su Jixue had already left the Cining Palace and headed towards the cold palace with a clear goal.
The Dongchu Cold Palace has never been renovated since the founding of the country, and it seems that it has become an abandoned place in the harem.
Although it is inside the palace, one can sense the sense of desolation as soon as one gets close.
Even the words on the original plaque of the cold palace have become blurred, leaving only a black and mottled plaque hanging at the entrance of the palace, like a nameless place.
The gates of the cold palace were tightly closed, and the Eternal Lane where it was located was eerily quiet.
When the previous emperor was alive, there were abandoned concubines in the cold palace.
That is the former concubine.
However, no one knows whether Feng Mo is still alive. After the current emperor ascended the throne and took concubines, no palace maids or concubines have been deposed.
So this cold palace is now extremely desolate.
Before Su Jixue even entered, she already had a vague premonition that Zong Kui was inside.
This feeling became even stronger when she entered the cold palace.
The palace maids guarding the palace seemed to have been replaced. Although they were wearing the palace maid uniforms of Dongchu, Su Jixue could tell at a glance that they should be people from Nanqing.
Su Jixue could tell the clues about people who came out of the Six Paths at a glance.
Sure enough, Zongkui is here!
Okay, okay, thank you Queen Mother, Zong Kui, these two people who seem to have nothing in common actually have such a deep friendship.
One is the powerful regent of Nanqing, and the other is the once ruthless regent queen mother of Dongchu.
Come to think of it, these two people have somewhat similar personalities.
Empress Dowager Xie really dared to hide Zongkui in this place. If the truth were to be revealed, even Empress Dowager Xie would find it difficult to quell the anger of the previous dynasty.
This is the real treason.
There must be something fishy about this cold palace, Su Jixue started searching inside it. Although it was called a cold palace, it actually had more halls than other palaces.
Several crazy-looking old women were basking in the sun in front of a palace and talking nonsense. One of them had a silk flower on her head, which looked a little funny.
The windows of the bedroom where they lived were so broken that one could see inside at a glance. There was no place to hide.
There were also eunuchs and palace maids on duty here who gathered together to play mahjong.
There should be no one.
But when he reached the last building, Su Jixue's heart tightened.
There were guards guarding the door to the rear hall. They were dressed as guards of the Dongchu Imperial Palace, but they were standing firmly at the door.
If you look closely, he doesn't look like a Nanqing person.
But it is really unusual to have someone guarding such a place. If they are not from Nanqing, they should be from Dongchu, the direct descendant of Empress Dowager Xie.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be here.
Is this for Zongkui or for something else?
Su Jixue curiously walked through the wall and saw an old woman sitting on a swing. Unlike the old women who were already dilapidated, this one, although also white-haired, had an indescribable calmness.
Although the dress was very old, it was washed very clean.
He used to look like a distinguished person in a high position, but he was blind.
Could it be that the guards at the door were there to watch over her?
Su Jixue looked at the old woman curiously, but did not stop. She had already sensed the strong atmosphere in the room.
It’s Zongkui.
Su Jixue originally thought that even if Zong Kui was hiding in the cold palace, he should be in a tunnel or something like that, but she didn't expect that he was lying openly in the room here.
It’s not quite right to say that he was lying down. Zong Kui was lying on his side on a chaise longue, coughing violently.
As soon as Su Jixue heard his voice, she knew that the poison had entered his lungs.
Someone had already set up a medicine pot at the door, boiling some medicine. It was Nanxu, the only one of the four who understood pharmacology, and he seemed unwilling to see Zongkui suffer such a fatal blow.
Su Jixue came to Zong Kui and saw that he was already terminally ill.
The once handsome face was now gray, but those sharp eyes still seemed to be hiding a blade, but the blade had been rolled up.
His hair was untied and spread out on the couch, and he was coughing heart-wrenchingly.
The handkerchief he was covering his face with was stained with blood.
Su Jixue stood in front of Zong Kui, looking down at his body which was curled up like a shrimp in pain.
Zong Kui, you have come to this day.
Su Jixue's eyes were as cold as a knife. If she were a physical body at this moment, Zong Kui would have been cut into pieces by now.
I can't forget what he did in the prison.
But what was even more abominable was that Zong Kui actually pretended to be Eleven and deceived her.
She will definitely kill him!
And he will not die a good death!
The closer Su Jixue got to Zong Kui, the more she could feel the bond of the blood pact. No wonder Zong Kui was able to deceive her in the first place.
It was very likely that when Ji Xue's blood was first taken, those people in the Great Wasteland Mountain had done something to that effect. With Queen Mother Xie around, the secrets of the Spiritual Tribe were no longer secrets.
Ji Xue's biological mother may have taught those people how to use her flesh and blood to draw power.
And now, they all have to die!
