Chapter 479 The maid Xiaomei.

Xu Xiulian has indeed changed a lot, is it because of Queen Xu's death that she has matured?

Now she has become a beautiful lady, and she doesn't have the feelings of a little girl at all.

Such a woman is somewhat less true of herself, although she is loved, but she always feels that she is not so thorough.

Ye Xing pondered for a moment before asking, "Who did Empress Xu meet with the day she learned the news?" ”

Xu Xiulian thought about it carefully and said: "The day Queen Xu learned the news, I didn't serve because I had something, and it was the palace maid Xiaomei who served the queen at that time, and then I asked Xiaomei, she knew who leaked the news, but she couldn't help shaking her head, I couldn't ask anything, and finally I had to give up." ”

"Why were you not by Empress Xu's side that day?" Ye Xing looked at Xu Xiulian and asked.

Xu Xiulian didn't think about it much, and replied: "The queen said that she wanted to eat lychees, so I asked me to find some, I thought that the queen's request could not be disobeyed, so I went to inform the emperor of this matter, and the emperor attached great importance to it after hearing about it, so he asked me to go to the yamen that managed the imperial offering to inquire about this matter, and as a result, my inquiry was most of the day, and when I brought the lychees, the queen ...... I can't eat anything anymore. ”

Ye Xing nodded slightly: "So, Empress Xu learned the news of the death of Wei Guogong during the period of time you left, so, who did Empress Xu see during the period of time you left?" ”

"I'm afraid I can only ask Xiaomei!"

The room was quiet for a while, but at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then a voice came from outside: "A few guest officers, the dishes you want are here!" ”

Everyone hasn't moved much of the dishes on the table, but at this time, why did Xiao Er deliver the dishes again?

Ye Xing opened the door and asked coldly, "I don't seem to have called this dish!" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled: "Yes, but this dish is sent by our shop, and I hope a few people will accept it!" ”

Everyone looked at the mid-range dish of the shop, which was a braised fish, and the bright red sauce made people want to drool.

Ye Xing seemed to be a little hesitant, but in the end, he still asked the shopkeeper to bring in the braised fish.

After the shopkeeper left, Ye Xing said to the others: "Since it was the queen that Xiao Mei served that day, then we will go to find Xiao Mei." ”

Xu Xiulian's face was a little ugly, Ye Xing saw this and asked, "Miss Xu, what's the matter, is this matter difficult to do?" ”

Xu Xiulian nodded: "Lord Ye, since Empress Xu died, the palace maids around her have been sent out of the palace, even me. ”

Hua Zhimeng smiled faintly: "We can also find her when we leave the palace." ”

"Then do you know where Xiaomei lived before entering the palace?" Ye Xing asked.

Xu Xiulian thought for a while and said, "I know this, she once told me, she said that she lives in Jiangning Mansion, and if she wants to find her, I don't think it will be difficult." ”

"Since it's not difficult, let's hurry up!" Di Xiaojie said a little impatiently.

Seeing this, Ye Xing sat down and said, "We are very close to us in Jiangning Mansion, don't worry, let's eat first, such a good dish, it would be a pity if you don't eat it." ”

Everyone thought it was the same, and they were also hungry, so they ate first, but Xu Xiulian seemed to be preoccupied and ate very little.

After a few of them had eaten, they rushed to Jiangning Mansion, which was also a rich place with many merchants.

Around dusk, they came to Jiangning Mansion, and after several inquiries, they finally learned that Xiaomei lived in Mingyue Lane.

There is a bright moon in Mingyue Lane, when Ye Xing and a few of them came to Mingyue Lane, the sky was already dark, the moon rose quietly from the east, and the moonlight sprinkled all over the earth, and naturally it shone on Mingyue Lane.

At this time, Mingyue Lane is very quiet, giving people the feeling that it is just like the name of this alley, if you can live here, it is also a kind of happiness.

It's just that after they walked in Mingyue Lane for a long time, they suddenly realized that something was wrong, not to mention that there were a few families living in Mingyue Lane, these families should have a dog or something, but they have been looking here for a long time, and it is impossible to hide from the dog's ears, but why is there no dog barking?

When Ye Xing realized that something was wrong, he instructed Di Xiaojie and them: "Let's go separately and take a closer look at this Mingyue Alley." ”

Everyone nodded, and then went to knock on the doors of the other houses in pairs, but no matter how much they knocked, no one answered.

Eventually, they came to Xiaomei's house, which looked a little dilapidated, even the stone steps were a little mottled, this place gave people a sense of winding paths, but the seclusion was terrifying.

Di Xiaojie knocked on the door a few times, but no one responded inside, like everyone else, Di Xiaojie glanced at Ye Xing: "Brother Ye, what should we do?" ”

Now at this time, they have no choice but to break through.

Ye Xing asked them to get out of the way, and then kicked the broken door of Xiaomei's house open, and after the door was kicked open, there was still no reaction inside, Ye Xing led the people to walk slowly towards the house, as if he felt that it was very unsafe here.

Just after Ye Xing and a few of them walked into the room, suddenly a big net fell from the sky, Ye Xing saw this, immediately pulled out the snow dance sword, and slashed the big net, but after the big net was broken, a group of masked black-clothed people suddenly rushed out from all around, and after those black-clothed people rushed in, they put hidden weapons on Ye Xing and several of them without saying a word.

The hidden weapon is poisonous and powerful, making people feel as if they are in death.

There are many hidden weapons, which are difficult to guard, Ye Xing wielded the snow dance sword to resist the hidden weapons, and at the same time led everyone to retreat to a room, as long as they retreated to the room, they could resist the hidden weapons coming from all directions.

When they retreated into the room, they realized that it was a woman's boudoir, and on the bed in the room, there was a corpse, it was a female corpse, the woman's appearance looked okay, but the blood on her neck made people very frightened.

Xu Xiulian glanced at the female corpse, and said sadly: "Xiaomei ......"

At this time, everyone knew that the female corpse on the bed turned out to be Xiaomei's, and she had been killed by someone, but how did the murderer know that they were coming to find Xiaomei?

Ye Xing suddenly thought of the shopkeeper who gave them braised fish, was he specifically looking for news?

Just when everyone felt lost, a thick smoke drifted from outside, and those black-clothed people wanted to burn them to death with fire, Ye Xing saw this, and said to Ai Fei'er: "You carry Xiaomei's corpse, let's rush out." ”

Ai Fei'er nodded in agreement, and then picked up Xiaomei's corpse and rushed out with Ye Xing and the others, and at this time, the fire outside was burning.
