231. Chapter 231 23 Palace Murder Incident! 【1】
Before dawn the next day, everyone in the "laundry room" had already gotten up. Starting the busy day, Ning Ling rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up with everyone. Fortunately, she was already used to this kind of early life in modern times.
Everyone outside was assigned a lot of clothes. Looking at the things they were assigned, Ning Ling could only sigh and sit on the stool, Nunu's sleeves, and prepare for work.
Suddenly, a sharp scream pierced the tranquility of the palace.
"Help, kill someone!"
The yard suddenly became boiling, and everyone ran out, only Ning Ling and another person stayed there, the girl who gave her steamed buns.
Ning Ling was washing clothes as if nothing had happened, turning a deaf ear to the boiling sound outside. The girl sat on the stool and observed her carefully. Judging from her reaction last night, she already knew that the girl in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person, and she must have recognized herself last night. Thinking of this, she felt a chill in her heart. If she revealed her whereabouts, then everything would be over, let alone revenge.
Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and a cold dagger slid out of her sleeve. She killed her while there was no one, and then destroyed the body. Anyway, people are missing every day, and no one cares about one more person or less.
Just as she stood up and was about to walk towards Ning Ling, she suddenly heard a strange sound, like the sound of a 'vas' falling to the ground and breaking. Then she heard the girl with her back facing her and said, "I advise you to put away your weapons, otherwise I can guarantee that your head will crack into pieces in the next second like a wooden basin under your feet!"
The girl subconsciously lowered her head and saw that the wooden basin under her feet was split into pieces, water flowed all over the floor, and her clothes were scattered.
"This... what's going on?" She looked at the wooden basin in shock, then looked up at the girl opposite. She had turned around, but didn't look at her. She was playing with a green jade pendant in her hand, which looked very familiar.
She subconsciously touched her neck, but she felt empty.
"I want to look for this!" A hand reached in front of her, and the jade pendant was in her palm.
"Why is my stuff here with you?" She reached out to grab it, but the other party quickly shrank his hand back.
"This is what I picked up in 'somewhere'!" She deliberately emphasized the word 'somewhere', and the other party must have understood it. Sure enough, the other party's pupils tightened, and a hint of nervousness flashed, and she was all in her eyes. She kept silent and continued, "I'm not interested in your affairs, I don't think you are interested in mine, right?"
The girl was very smart and immediately understood the meaning of her words. They appeared in the cold palace at the same time last night, and perhaps their purposes were different, but they were all unknown. In other words, they were all in the hands of each other, like grasshoppers tied to a thread, prospering and losing. What's more, after experiencing her actions just now, she didn't dare to underestimate her. She didn't even know what hidden weapon she used, and she could actually smash the wooden basin, and it would be easier to kill her. If she had really attacked her just now, she would probably have been a corpse at this moment, and it would have turned into pieces like the wooden basin under her feet!
"You're right, I'm not interested in your business." She took back the dagger from her sleeve.
"Very good!" Ning Ling smiled slightly and handed back the jade pendant in her hand. "Be careful next time, this is a valuable thing, not something that your identity can possess. If someone sees it, he will definitely frame you and steal royal items. At that time, not only you, but you are afraid that your family will be implicated by you."
"How do you know?" The girl took the jade pendant, carefully stroked it, and put it in her arms.
"I have seen such things for a lot of time, so I will know them." Ning Ling turned around and walked towards the door, "Let's go out and have a look, otherwise they will suspect that you and I are the murderer when they come back."
The girl followed her out without saying a word. As soon as she went out, she saw the people who had just run out were driven back by a group of ferocious guards. They all looked pale and frightened. Some of them were weak and they were completely leaning against the person beside them and walked forward. The person who was holding them was not much better. Obviously, these people were greatly frightened.
"Yan'er, what happened?" Ning Ling and the girl exchanged glances with each other and stepped forward to support the palace maid walking in the front." The palace maid worked in the laundry room like them, and she still took care of them.
"It's so scary." Yan'er shook her lips, and her eyes were filled with deep fear. "The man's skin was peeled off. This is the fifth time this year."
"What skin was peeled off?" Ning Ling was confused when he heard it.
