Which servant didn't want their master to be in power?
If Jing Xuan could win Na Tuo's favor, all the maids in the courtyard would be able to enjoy it.
They would definitely be rewarded with a lot of money!
However, they didn't know the inside story.
No one in the Prince's Mansion knew about Jing Xuan and Gong Shilin.
Previously, when Na Tuo interrogated them, all the servants in the room were sent out one by one.
When the maids went in, they only saw Jing Xuan lying on the ground, holding a broken jade pendant in her hand. Her hand was covered in blood.
They didn't know anything else!
Now, everyone only saw that Jing Xuan had started to show affection to Na Tuo, and Na Tuo didn't scold or hit Jing Xuan like before.
It wouldn't be bad if the two of them could be affectionate.
While they were still discussing, Jing Xuan came out.
The maids greeted, "Your Highness."
Jing Xuan wasn't deaf. Of course, she heard their conversation.
But now, she didn't have the mood to care about it.
She ordered, "His Highness said that he likes the incense I made, so continue to send the incense over and order someone to light some in His Highness's room."
"Yes."
"And …"
"Your Highness."
Jing Xuan took off a string of silver pearls hanging around her neck and looked at one of the maids, "Lian 'er, pawn this string of pearls. You guys can divide the money."
"Ah?" The maid called Lian 'er was shocked.
"What? Didn't you hear what I said? "
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
Lian 'er took the pearls with both hands.
The maids hurriedly thanked her!
They were really flattered.
A string of silver pearls was worth at least a few hundred taels. The maids would have to work for a few years to get that much.
It seemed that their master was really going to get the upper hand.
Jing Xuan had been staying in the mansion for the past year. She didn't have much money with her, but she had a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
Most of them were dowries from the Great Lin.
But she didn't need them usually.
She didn't expect them to have other uses.
Jing Xuan looked at them with sharp eyes, "As long as you do your best to work for me, I won't treat you badly."
"Yes, we servants will definitely serve Wangfei well and listen to everything Wangfei says."
"It's good that you understand." Jing Xuan said and turned to enter the room.
She was indeed different!
There was no longer any sign of depression on his body.
Following her instructions, the maids moved the incense that had been lit in the study to Tuo's room that very night.
Na Tuo was also used to that fragrance.
If he couldn't smell it, he would feel uncomfortable.
He undressed and went to bed.
At this moment, the incense in the cauldron in the room was emitting white mist.
It lingered around …
Na Tuo had just closed his eyes when a gust of cold wind blew past his ears.
He shrunk his neck and did not care.
Unexpectedly, another gust of cold wind blew from the soles of his feet.
He pulled back his legs.
He opened his eyes.
The room was very quiet, with only a faint candlelight in it.
The windows were tightly shut, and there was no wind at all.
He didn't pay too much attention to it and turned to sleep.
"Tuo."
Suddenly, someone called out to him in an eerie voice.
He was very familiar with that voice.
He turned around.
He sat up on the bed.
When he focused his gaze, he saw … a white figure standing in front of the cabinet. The candlelight only shone on his lower body, but he could clearly see that his white robes were riddled with bloodstains.
It was extremely terrifying.
"You … you are …" Na Tuo hugged the blanket tightly.
"Tuo, it's me!"
"No, impossible, you're already dead." Na Tuo's face was full of fear, his pupils dilated.
His entire body was covered in cold sweat.
The white-clothed youth still stood there motionlessly, his upper body hidden in the darkness.
"Why are you so heartless? You said that you would abandon the throne to save me. You said it! "
"No …"
"Why did you lie to me? Why? "
"Shut up!" Na Tuo grabbed the blanket in his hand and threw it over. He also fell from the bed. The next moment, he immediately propped himself up and said with a trembling voice, "Who are you? Why are you playing tricks in front of this king? Speak!"
The youth said, "It's only been a long time, but you already don't recognize me."
"Someone! Someone! "Na Tuo shouted.
No one answered.
He could only run to open the door, but no matter how hard he tried, the door seemed to be locked from the outside and could not be opened.
"Pa pa pa pa …"
The door was slammed by him.
No one came.
"Someone, did you hear that? A bunch of trash."
He panicked. His palms were covered in cold sweat.
It was completely dark outside the king's mansion. No one was there. It was dead silent.
That feeling was like he was thrown into an endless abyss, losing his center of gravity.
The youth said with a gloomy tone, "Tuo, do you know that it's really cold down there? You keep saying that you see me as your brother, sharing life and death, going through thick and thin with me. Then shouldn't you come accompany me?"
Na Tuo looked at the white-clothed youth in fear, "Who are you? Why are you here? You … "
"I'm Shi Lin!"
"… Ugh!"
"Ah Tuo, Ah Tuo …" The youth called his name over and over again as he slowly walked out of the darkness.
Na Tuo opened his eyes wide and kept retreating.
He watched as the white-clothed youth's upper body was revealed bit by bit.
Then — —
It was a … headless body.
Dripping with blood!
"Ah!" Na Tuo screamed and fell backwards.
He felt a sharp pain at the back of his head …
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still on the bed.
He quickly sat up and looked at the cabinet.
There was no white-clothed youth!
It turned out to be a nightmare.
He lifted his sleeve to wipe his sweat.
But a moth suddenly flew to his hand.
He used his arm to throw it to the ground. But he didn't expect that a few more moths flew to his side.
"Go away!"
He lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
But there were more and more moths surrounding him.
"Go away, go away!"
He waved his arms wildly, which seemed to have angered the moths, and they attacked him in a frenzy.
He knocked over the teacup on the table.
His whole body fell to the ground.
He closed his eyes and tried to drive away the moths.
The two maids outside heard the noise and quickly came in.
But they only saw Na Tuo waving his hand on the ground.
"Your Highness? What happened to you? "
The maid pulled his hand.
"Go away, don't come over, don't come over."
"Your Highness?"
"So many insects, so many insects …"
"Insects? No, Your Highness, did you see wrong? "
Na Tuo stopped.
When he opened his eyes, there were no moths!
There was only air.
"Your Highness?"
Was there something wrong with his eyes?
He was panting, sweating profusely.
The maid helped him up from the ground.
"Your Highness, what happened to you?"
He took a deep breath and only reacted after a long time.
He didn't want to lose his dignity in front of the servants. "Nothing, go get some water. I want to wash my face."
"Yes."
The maid brought the water.
Na Tuo was about to lower his head to wash his face.
But —
The basin was full of blood!
