Chapter 391: Imprisonment of the Concubine
As his wrist turned, the light from the candlelight reflected on the blade.
With a "tick-tock" sound, drops of blood fell on the shiny brick surface, splashing in the shape of flowers...
Jiang Shi was a secret guard, and his every move was completely subject to the orders of his master, the Concubine Dowager. Even if the Concubine Dowager had just told him to die, he would have decisively committed suicide.
That's why the secret guard rushed towards the little girl without a moment's hesitation.
Jiang An is looking at the magnificent scenery behind the main hall...
As he moved, Jiang Si's knife behind him also followed.
The little girl narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists.
Want to run? !
She stepped forward with her fist raised, and faced the secret guard Jiang Shi like an arrow shot from a bow.
A punch that went straight to the door, a man with Jiang Shi's skills could easily dodge it...
The moment he dodged sideways, Jiang An's lips curled up into a defiant smile.
This is the moment we've been waiting for!
Her fist loosened and she grabbed the broad knife thrown by Jiang Si, and her body flipped in mid-air.
Slash with a broad sword!
Jiang An's internal strength was all attached to the blade, with a dignified aura...
At this moment, it seemed that the time in the palace had slowed down infinitely, and the concubine could clearly see the blade brushing against Jiang Shi's neck.
She loosened her grip on the couch and didn't even notice when her carefully maintained nails broke.
The Toffee heaved a sigh of relief...
“Mother…Mother…!”
Just as she closed her eyes and covered her chest to calm herself down, the old lady's frightened voice came from behind her.
The toffee suddenly opened her eyes, and all she saw was red.
In front of her, the little girl's figure was facing away, and she had not yet had time to retract the knife in her hand.
The blade and Jiang An's sleeves were covered in dark blood...
The weapon in the hand of the secret guard Jiang Shi fell, and he covered his broken neck with both hands, as if trying to stop the blood from flowing out.
His eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe that he was going to die like this, and was killed by a little girl.
But his vital point is broken, he... is doomed to die.
Jiang Shi's eyes gradually became dull and he fell backwards uncontrollably.
A big man fell to the ground, hitting the ground with a dull thud.
"Ah!"
Toffee screamed, half in disbelief and half in extreme anger.
Jiang Shi would undoubtedly play an important role in her plan, but he is dead now!
She died on a day she least expected.
"What's the fuss about?"
"I'm sick!"
Jiang An turned around, his pretty face was stained with splattered blood, his round eyes were cold and fierce, and his blood-stained hands were holding a broad knife hanging at his side.
What a little lunatic!
She looked at the Toffee, without any fear or terror after killing someone, it seemed like just an ordinary little thing.
The toffee's scream stopped abruptly, and her face looked as red as a tearful pear blossom.
It would be better if she didn't hide in the soft couch like she was hiding from the evil spirit~
"you you…"
"You can't kill me. I'm the Concubine Dowager, your father's biological mother!"
"If you kill me, the Zhenguo Palace will be cursed by the people of the world!"
"laugh…"
Her laughter seemed to be laughing at the self-righteousness of the Concubine Dowager.
The girl returned the knife to Jiang Si and slowly wiped her blood-stained hands with the wide sleeves of her palace dress.
Such a close distance made the concubine feel even colder.
If someone dared to be so presumptuous in the past, she would definitely skin him alive and drain his tendons!
Jiang An said with disdain, "Toffee... is that so great?"
"I kill you?"
Jiang An stared into her eyes. Those clear eyes made people shudder. "Why should I kill you?"
After wiping her hands, she stood a little further away and admired the furnishings in the hall at ease.
The little girl slowly stepped over the corpses on the ground and let her feet step into the river of blood...
"You... you are the most useful chess piece in everyone's hands. I can't bear to kill you, my good grandmother."
"There are countless beauties in the harem, but the late emperor favored you and promoted you to a position one step away from the position of empress and the prince's biological mother. You became the best weapon in his hand to check and balance the current empress dowager."
"Look, even though he should be nothing but a pile of dry bones now, you are still going against the Queen Mother!"
Jiang An clapped his hands loudly, "Grandma, you are such a good knife!"
The sound of her slap seemed to land on the concubine's face from a distance, tearing off the last layer of fig leaf...
After all, what the Concubine Dowager was proud of throughout her life was her former favor and her son, Prince Yong.
Jiang An didn't give her a chance to go crazy again, and continued: "Your Akabane Army of several hundred people can't even defeat my personal soldiers in the palace. Why do you think you can sit on the top of the Huguo Temple outside of Kyoto?"
"With your face?"
"If the people in Kyoto were not afraid of the troops in the Northern Land State Palace, and if my father was not in control of the border, would they still need a hostage like you?"
The little girl pulled at the veil in the hall and said faintly, "Grandmother, guess what, if I became a better proton among the concubines now, would she still keep you?"
"Speaking of my father..."
She walked back to the Toffee, weighing a gilded object in her hand.
"The palace is in the north, and he has the responsibility of being the commander-in-chief and cannot leave easily. Keeping you here is just a reluctant decision."
"There is a man who works hard all day, fighting against the Queen Mother's party, just as..."
Jiang An tilted his head, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Just treat it as a way to relieve boredom when you have nothing to do~"
Zhenglu and Nianniang, who were standing by, looked at each other and then looked away tacitly.
The shock in their hearts was definitely no less than that of the man on the couch who was almost angry to death!
I originally thought that the young lady was just a talented little girl, even though she was known as a child prodigy...
But such a deep and thoughtful mind really shouldn't appear in a child who is just over nine years old.
The two of them looked at the dozen or so secret guards standing silently behind them, with threats in their eyes.
The secret guards all bowed their heads, proving with their actions that they were deaf and blind.
When the truth was revealed, what remained beneath the gorgeous palace dress was nothing but a body that was corrupt to the core...
The concubine couldn't even sit still, and just muttered something like "Pampered concubine... what is Ai Jia..."
Jiang An moved closer.
As for the old nanny beside the concubine, she looked at the little evil spirit and didn't dare to move at all, just like a wooden stake.
The little girl bent down. The blood beads on her face had long dried up, making her skin look even whiter.
"You can't even defeat me, and you still want to be the best in the world?"
Jiang An averted his eyes and looked at the breathtakingly magnificent city behind the concubine, and whispered: "You are now... just a bird in a cage."
"Somebody come!"
She gave a light shout, and immediately someone broke open the door and rushed in.
The palace that was solemn and oppressive an hour ago fell into Jiang An's hands so easily.
"My subordinate is here!"
The guards responded in unison.
The little girl stood up straight, a rebellious look rising between her brows, and her every move was just like the little son that the concubine hated so much.
Back then, he stood in the court like an emperor himself, begging for mercy to save her life!
Jiang An turned and walked out, saying in a calm voice, "The Concubine is not feeling well and is worried too much. From today on, the gates to the courtyard will be closed and heavily guarded. No one is allowed to disturb her!"
"I will take over all the Akabane troops in the temple and train them on their behalf!"
"Yes!"
Today, Jiang An will cut off all connections between this courtyard and the outside world. Don't even think about the Second Prince... cooperation... rebellion!
The little girl stopped walking until she reached the entrance of the palace.
She said, "The door behind the palace is too big and the wind is cold...it affects the concubine's rest, so let's close it."
Rather than stabbing her to avenge her brother, it would be better to destroy everything she likes, cares about, and even turns into obsession.
"no!"
The concubine's hair was disheveled and her phoenix hairpin was crooked. When she heard the little girl's words, she stood up suddenly and retorted.
The empty palace was in a mess, with only her in her luxurious palace dress, like a rose blooming in the ruins...
It's just that the rose's blooming season is almost over.
With a bang, the palace door closed...
There was noise and shadows outside the hall, but inside the hall it was dark and silent.
At this moment, the Concubine seemed to have just realized what she would have to face in the endless years to come...
The face with delicate flower ornaments seemed to be smiling and crying, and finally became a face full of horror and fear.
She banged on the palace door frantically, but the only response she got was the sound of wooden boards sealing the door.
