C1768

After hearing Du Shan's report, Gao Mucheng was relieved. He had originally thought that this palace maid would be the princess' confidante, so getting rid of her would be too risky, and he wouldn't be able to do anything to her. Now that he knew she was only a lowly palace maid, Gao Mucheng no longer had any worries.

It was a simple matter for him, and of course he would be happy to do the right thing.

After muttering to himself for a moment, he said to Du Shan: "You cannot keep this palace maid here. Tomorrow, follow me to look for her. "If you're not careful, you might lose your footing and fall into the water!"

Du Shan took a deep breath, and his expression changed. Killing a palace maid was no small matter. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Sir, if this matter were to spread to the ears of the King, we wouldn't be able to bear the consequences!"

Gao Mucheng sighed, and said: "You think I want to do this? This is what Madam de Rong wants, I can't do anything about it! "

Du Shan asked in puzzlement: "How could a mere servant girl from the Yonghe Palace offend Madam de Rong?"

Gao Mucheng waved his hands, and said: "Don't ask, about the Wang Family, we only need to do it, and don't ask why, and know too much, if things go wrong, the person who accidentally drowned in the water next day might be you and me."

Du Shan shuddered and immediately shut his mouth. Gao Mucheng took out the Brocade Box that Yuan Qianyi had given him from his sleeves, opened it, and handed it over to Du Shan, saying: "This is a gift from Madam De Rong, pick one!"

"This subordinate would not dare!" Du Shan was surprised, and immediately lowered his head.

Gao Mucheng laughed, held up a bead and stuffed it into Du Shan's hands, and said: "I will not hide anything, furthermore this is a gift from the Madam, I do not dare to hide anything, take it, when I do my work tomorrow, your actions will be a little lower, if not, if people were to find any traces of it, we will be able to live to collect treasures, and we will not be able to appreciate it ?"

The next day, Gao Mucheng and Du Shan wandered around the Yonghe Palace for an entire afternoon before they finally managed to bring out the palace maid called Ji Cui. In her hands was a large barrel filled with trash.

"Sir, they're coming out!" Du Shan, who was nearby, reminded Yun Che in a low voice.

Gao Mucheng turned his head to look at it, his eyes closed to size it up. Ji Cui had too ordinary of an appearance. With her normal and normal facial features, her body was thin and small, her skin was dark and looked like she was undernourished. Because she was too skinny, it was difficult for him to carry such a huge wooden bucket.

After he finished reading, Gao Mucheng laughed bitterly to himself, he had fallen to the point of wanting to lay his hands on a servant girl. He shook his head, shot Du Shan a glance, and then followed closely behind Ji Cui.

After she walked for a while, she had already left the Yonghe Palace and there was no one around. Gao Mucheng and Du Shan suddenly quickened their pace and caught up to Ji Cui, and asked: "Is the one in front Miss Ji Cui?"

Hearing that, the palace maid immediately stopped, turned around and looked at Gao Mucheng and in a daze. She stood there in a daze for a while before she regained her senses. She put down the wooden bucket in her hands and paid respects, "Servant girl Ji Cui greets the two Masters!"

Gao Mucheng walked in front of Ji Cui and said with a smile: "Let's invite Miss Ji Cui to come with me. There are some things that I need to ask Miss."

"But I still have to work!" When Ji Cui said this, he looked at the big barrel in her hand with difficulty.

"We can also do these things later!" Du Shan went forward and took the bucket in Ji Cui's hands without any explanation. He raised his head and said: "Please, miss!"

Du Shan simply did not give Ji Cui any leeway to refuse. After finishing her words, Du Shan took the lead and walked forward. Ji Cui could only helplessly follow behind him while Gao Mucheng followed behind. The two of them had basically trapped Ji Cui in the middle with one in front and one in the back.

The garden was very spacious, and among them were fake lakes and fake mountains. In the summer, the grass was dense, the waves were gentle, hundreds of flowers bloomed, and the scenery was very charming. However, it was late winter and the flowers were withered, so very few people would come here again.

After walking to the lakeside, Du Shan finally stopped. He turned his head and looked around to see if there was anyone else present. Ji Cui's face was full of confusion as she stammered a question, "Master ? What did the Lord bring a servant girl here for? "

Du Shan had the Hidden Arrow Crew to begin with, so he was extremely familiar with the layout of the palace. He knew that there were no defenses around here, and since he did not see anyone around, he was relieved. After revealing his true form, he turned around, looked at Ji Cui with a sinister smile, and said: "What are you doing? Of course it's to send the young lady on her way! "

"On the road?" Ji Cui was still puzzled, and asked blankly: "Where to? Master, where are you sending your servant? "

"Below the Nine Springs!" The evil grin on Du Shan's face disappeared, to be replaced by a vicious look, as his fingers slowly bent.

Hearing this, Ji Cui's face turned pale with fright. She could not stand up any longer and sat down on the ground. Her face became deathly pale as she stammered, "Servant girl ? The servant girl did not make a mistake... Change... "I've never offended the two sirs either ?"

"If you've only offended us, then that's fine. You don't need to die. But you've offended Madame de Ran. Then, even the deities won't be able to save you!"

"Yes ?" It was Madame de Ron who sent you to kill me? "

"Of course, so in the underworld, you can only blame Madame de Rong ?"

He had not even finished speaking when Gao Mucheng, who was behind Ji Cui, frowned and let out a heavy cough. Du Shan's body trembled, he did not dare speak anymore, and the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger.

Ji Cui realized what was going to happen next, and also understood why Yuan Qianyi wanted to kill her. Her face filled with surprise and fury, she raised her hand and fiercely pulled out a hairpin from her head.1

Unfortunately, before she could make his next move, Du Shan had already shot forward and grabbed onto her wrist who was holding the hairpin tightly with one hand, while he other hand was ferociously pressing onto Ji Cui's small face.

Ji Cui struggled violently, but how could her petite and weak body struggle free from the big and round Du Shan? She wanted to shout out loud, but her nose and mouth were tightly covered, unable to utter a single word.

She twisted and struggled, and her small face first turned red, then slowly paled, and finally turned green. Not long after, her body went limp, her eyes opened wide, and she lost all signs of life.

After covering her for a while longer and confirming that Ji Cui was completely dead, Du Shan finally loosened her hand. Then, she grabbed onto Ji Cui's collar with one hand and buckled onto her waist with the other.

He patted his hands, and rubbed them on his body, then turned and smiled to Gao Mucheng: Master, we have finally completed this task right. While he was speaking, he took a step forward and was about to leave. Gao Mucheng smiled lightly and stood still, with his lips pursed towards his feet.

Du Shan looked down and his expression changed. He anxiously picked up the hairpin on the ground and said: Thank you master for your reminder.

As he spoke, he pretended to throw the hairpin into the lake. However, just before he moved, he suddenly felt something rolling within the hairpin. With a puzzled expression, he placed the hairpin back down and turned it back and forth.

"What's wrong?" Gao Mucheng walked forward and took a glance at the hairpin in his hand. It was a very ordinary bamboo hairpin, and it looked somewhat old.

"Sir, inside this hairpin ?" "It seems empty ?" Du Shan shook the hairpin and asked suspiciously.

"Oh?" Gao Mucheng raised his eyebrows, took the hairpin and casually shook it.

He slowly frowned. Thinking back to how Ji Cui had first pulled out this hairpin when her life was at stake. Could it be that there was some other secret hidden inside?

As he thought of this, he slightly bent his hands. With a light cracking sound, the bamboo hairpin broke into pieces. At the same time, a small ball rolled out from within and fell to the ground.

Du Shan's eyes were sharp, he anxiously lowered his body to pick it up, looked at the ball, and muttered: "What is this?"

Gao Mucheng snatched it, looked at it a few times, then placed it under his nose and sniffed it, and inhaled: "Yes ? Special Spirit-gathering Pill! "

"Huh?" Du Shan was stupefied. After a while, he recovered from his shock and exclaimed: "Could it be ? This palace maid is the Spirit Cultivator hiding in the palace? "

"Otherwise, why would she bring it out in the nick of time?" As he spoke, he looked at the Spirit-gathering Pill in her hands, her eyes revealing a ghostly light. It was already unbelievable that Ji Cui was the Spirit Cultivator, but what was even more unbelievable was that Madam De Rong actually wanted to get rid of her. Could it be that Madam De Rong had already discovered her secret, and if that was the case, she could have openly exposed Ji Cui's identity, so why would she continue to do so stealthily? How many more secrets were hidden?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Gao Mucheng took the Pill into his arms, and then said to Du Shan seriously: "Today's matter has already exceeded the scope of what you and I can deal with. You cannot mention even a single word to anyone.

At this moment, Du Shan had also realized the strangeness of this situation. He nodded repeatedly and replied, "Rest assured Master, this subordinate will definitely not reveal anything."

"Very well, immediately go and find someone to retrieve Ji Cui's corpse. I will go to the Yonghe Palace and report this matter to the wangfei!"

"Yes!" "My Lord!" Du Shan cupped his hands in acknowledgement, and turned to leave. After he left, Gao Mucheng also left for the Yonghe Palace.

After calculating the time, he felt that Du Shan had pretty much scooped up Ji Cui's body before she entered the Yonghe Palace's gate.

When he walked into the hall, he raised his head to look inside, only to see that Yin Rou was not the only one inside, there was another person sitting beside Yin Rou, Yuan Qianyi.

Gao Mucheng's heart trembled, but his reaction was fast, and he respectfully bowed, saying, "This lowly one pays his respects to the wangfei and the wangfei!"

Yin Rou smiled sweetly at him and asked: What business does Master Gao have with me?

"Er ? ?" Gao Mucheng was about to say something, but he suddenly realised that Yuan Qianyi's eyes were staring straight at him, with a hidden glint that made people shiver in fear.

His heart trembled as he hurriedly swallowed the words that were about to leave his mouth. He smiled apologetically and said, "This little one has come ?" is that the guards who are here to inspect the Yonghe Palace have not made any mistakes. "
