Rebirth as Princess Jin again

卫府

Late at night in the Wei Mansion, when the time came, the lights in the courtyard gradually went out, leaving only one or two lights, and the night insects sang in the dark, making it even more peaceful and unusual.

The two maids who were keeping watch at the door helped Wei Xuan to sleep, then came outside and stood guard outside the door. In order to dispel the sleepiness, the two of them whispered a few words from time to time. As the night got deeper and deeper, they gradually couldn't resist the sleepiness, and their heads became more and more dizzy. It got heavier and heavier, and the two of them gradually couldn't hold it up anymore, leaning on each other with their heads tilted.

I don't know when a black shadow flashed in front of the door. A maid was half asleep and vaguely heard the sound of the door and window closing. However, her eyelids were heavy, so she managed to open her eyes through a small gap, but she still couldn't see anything clearly. .

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and pushed the little maid beside her: "Hong'er, did you feel someone coming just now?"

Hong'er slept in a daze and only said something vaguely: "We have many guards in the Wei Mansion. No thief would dare to come to the Wei Mansion to steal things at the risk of his life."

The maid got up and took a closer look around, then sat by the door again. Sleepiness came over her again, she tilted her head and fell asleep again.

Wei Xuan was in a daze on the bed when she heard a rustling sound in her ears. However, sleepiness hit her and she couldn't raise her eyelids. She called out softly: "Hong'er..."

After no response for a long time, Wei Xuan opened her sleepy eyelids, climbed up with strength, opened the curtain, and stepped on the ground with her bare feet. There was a cold feeling under her feet, and there was a crawling feeling. Wei Xuan looked down and saw, A burst of heart-rending shouts echoed through the quiet night sky.

The two maids guarding the door woke up instantly, and they pushed open the door.

In an instant, her face turned pale, her eyes widened, and her whole body was trembling. She covered her mouth and stepped back. One of the maids screamed and fell backwards, dragging the other maid with her and the two of them rolled down the steps. .

The guards of the Wei Mansion immediately moved towards the place where the sound came from, and the rows of lanterns instantly illuminated the night sky in the entire courtyard as if it were daytime.

Even the guards who were used to big scenes couldn't calm down at this moment. Wei Xuan's room was densely covered with snakes of various colors, spitting out messages, which was extremely scary.

Those snakes crawled all over the room, and there were even several big snakes as thick as arms hanging from the rafters.

Wei Xuan on the bed put down the curtain and hid in the quilt shivering. She no longer dared to speak out, for fear that her voice would attract the attack of venomous snakes. Fortunately, the bed curtain blocked the snakes and they were still lingering beside the bed. .

Wei Heng staggered to the yard dragging his still-unrecovered body. When he saw the guards standing outside the door, he shouted loudly: "What happened? Where is Xuan'er?"

The two maids at the door were so frightened that they could not speak. The leading guard handed over his hands and reported: "Young Master, the room is full of snakes."

The two boys helped Wei Heng to the door. Before they even got up the steps, they smelled an extremely strong fishy smell that made people want to vomit.

The scene inside the door made Wei Heng's breath stagnant. Seeing that the people on the bed were motionless, he shouted sternly at the guards: "Come to the realgar quickly. You hurry in and save the lady. If anything happens to her, you will all die."

Those guards had no choice but to rely on their courage, go in and use their knives to kill the snakes they saw. Fortunately, it was late summer and early autumn, and the snakes were not as brave as summer, and their attack power was not strong. Soon, half of the snakes in the house were cleared.

Wei Heng ordered people to bring Wei Xuan out. At this time, Wei Xuan was covering her head with her hands, sweating profusely on her body, and her thin nightgown was already soaked.

Wei Heng took off his cloak and wrapped Wei Xuan up. His tone was extremely gentle: "Xuan'er, don't be afraid. My brother is here and everything is fine. Are you injured?"

As if finding a life-saving straw, Wei Xuan hugged Wei Heng with a trembling body. Her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and there was a look of fear on her face. She couldn't even finish her words: "Brother... there are snakes... there are snakes... ..”

Wei Heng pressed her head in his arms, pursed his thin lips, and anger burst out from his eyes: "A bunch of trash, so many people are guarding the yard, and they let so many snakes in, let me destroy the entire mansion. Search it inside and out.”

The guards took the order, and after cleaning up the snakes in the house, they called out all the servants in the mansion. For a moment, the entire Wei Mansion was filled with people, and the lights in the courtyard were brightly lit.

Wei Xuan was taken down to rest by his servants. Wei Heng sat in the yard and watched coldly as the guards of the mansion shuttled around the yard.

Until the sky turns white, and the first ray of morning sun shines golden light through the clouds.

Wei Heng's sinister eyes looked at the guards in the courtyard, and he glanced at everyone with cold eyes. His deep voice sounded in the courtyard: "Today, we will search every corner of the mansion again. If I let this young master find out where you are keeping watch again in the future, If you are lazy sometimes, they will be your fate.”

There were several corpses covered with white cloth in the center of the courtyard. The guards guarding Wei Xuan's courtyard and the two palace maids at the door who were still alive last night were lying on the ground coldly today.

Mrs. Wei San looked at her bloodless daughter on the bed with distress. At this moment, Wei Xuan was suffering from a high fever due to last night's fright and was having constant nightmares.

Mrs. Wei San urged the maid next to her: "Why hasn't the palace doctor come yet? Xuan'er has had a fever all night, so don't let her get sick."

As soon as the maid stepped out of the room, another maid appeared in the room with a food box in her hand: "Madam, the porridge you ordered the kitchen to cook is ready."

Seeing Wei Xuan wake up, Mrs. Wei San said with a distressed look on her face: "Xuan'er, it's okay. Don't be afraid. Mom is by your side. I asked the kitchen to make some white porridge for you to try."

After saying that, she took the bowl from the food box and brought it to Wei Xuan. Mrs. Wei San opened the lid on the bowl.

Wei Xuan's eyes widened when she saw the white porridge. After a shrill scream, Wei Xuan passed out completely.

The porcelain bowl in Mrs. Wei San's hand fell to the ground. She looked at the bowl of snake porridge with flesh and blood on the ground in astonishment, and her whole body tensed up.

Wei Heng, who was outside the house, walked in quickly and saw that the snake in the white porridge had clearly been killed and put in. It still smelled of blood and smelled disgusting.

The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "Master, no, it's not me. I watched the kitchen steward cook the porridge, and I obviously didn't put anything in it."

The expression on Wei Heng's face dimmed instantly, and he shouted sternly: "Who is it? Gather all the servants in the house to the front hall, and I will ask in person."

Outside the yard, a man dressed as a servant came into the house, cleaned up the snake meat and bowls on the ground, lowered his head and walked out of the yard.

The whole guard house began to become chaotic again, and all the guards began to gather together. The boy hurried to the back door with the food box. Seeing that no one was around, he threw the food box aside and walked out of the back door.
