Zhu Kun stood in front of the window, his eyes falling on Zhu Yunyun, waiting for her to speak.
Zhu Yunyun is sitting on the sofa, with his hands folded on his knees, his posture is lazy, and there is nothing strange about him.
"The anomaly of the Heaven Dou Empire is indeed caused by the Spirit Hall."
Her voice was much smoother than last night.
"It's just how they did it, we haven't found out yet. What is certain is that Spirit Hall infiltrated Heaven Dou Empire very seriously."
Zhu Kun nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, madam. We will set off back to the capital early tomorrow morning and report the information to His Majesty."
He turned around and walked towards the window, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. As if he remembered something, he turned his head and glanced at her.
"Madam, your lower abdomen seems to be a little bulging? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Zhu Yunyun's body stiffened slightly, and his fingertips closed and unclenched on his knees.
"Maybe it's because I've eaten too much at the Holy Son Mansion in the past few days, it's nothing."
Zhu Kun's eyes stopped on her for a moment, and then moved away.
Madam is the most important person in taking care of herself. It is impossible for her to develop fat on her lower abdomen. Could it be that Holy Son Mansion's food is too good and she eats too much?
He held the teacup and said nothing, as if he didn't notice anything, or as if he noticed something, but didn't say it.
Zhu Yunyun stood up and straightened his clothes, "I'll go upstairs and take a shower first."
She walked towards the stairs, her pace a little faster than usual, her cuffs hanging down.
She was angry at Gu Qingshan in her heart, saying that the crucian carp soup was very tonic and insisted on her drinking it all.
The next day, Zhu Kun and his party set out on their return trip early.
Check in at a hotel in town on the way.
Late at night, the surroundings of the hotel were very quiet, and even the sound of insects became sparse.
The lights in the lobby on the first floor have been turned off, leaving only an oil lamp burning at the end of the corridor, illuminating the ground at the door.
The two figures landed silently on the eaves outside the hotel, their movements making no sound.
One of the figures opened a window with a very light movement and slipped sideways into the house. The other figure followed behind. When it landed, the soles of its boots touched the ground without making any sound.
Zhu Kun's room is at the end of the corridor, and the two of them obviously got the exact information.
They stopped in front of Zhu Kun's door.
One of the figures raised his hand, inserted a slender piece of metal into the crack of the door, and flicked it gently.
The door lock made a very light click.
The door was pushed open a crack, and the two people slipped into the house silently.
Zhu Kun was lying on the bed, breathing steadily, and was sleeping deeply.
The figure on the left stopped in front of the bed, with his right hand pulling out a slender dagger from his waist, the blade glowing coldly in the moonlight.
He didn't pause or hesitate.
Pressing his left hand on the edge of the bed, he raised his right hand and dropped the dagger, accurately piercing the side of Zhu Kun's neck.
Zhu Kun's body bounced slightly, as if it was hit by some extremely weak electric current, and it made a very light muffled sound, as if it was squeezed out from the depth of the throat.
Then his body slowly relaxed, like a bow whose string was loosened, and he lay back quietly.
A small patch of dark color spread on the bed sheet. The figure took back the dagger, wiped it on the edge of the bed sheet, and inserted the dagger back into his waist.
The two exited the room, and the door closed silently behind them, as if it had never been opened.
Zhu Yunyun's room was on the other side of the corridor on the second floor, and the door was ajar. She was sitting on the edge of the bed and heard two very light knocks from outside the door, with an even rhythm, like some kind of secret code that had been agreed upon long ago.
She stood up, walked to the door, and opened it a crack.
There were two men in black standing outside the door, their faces covered by scarves, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
The two of them didn't go in, they just whispered instructions.
"Mrs. Zhu, the two of us were ordered by His Highness the Holy Son to assist Madam in completing her mission. We will follow Madam into the Star Luo Imperial Palace."
Zhu Yunyun hesitated.
"You two, Star Luo Imperial Palace is very strict and has many guards. It is said that there is also a worshiper of Titled Douluo level."
She was worried about whether the two people in front of her could successfully assassinate members of the royal family.
The man in black saw her doubts.
Taking off the mask shows that you are Ghost Douluo, and the other one is Ghost Leopard Douluo, and you are fully capable of getting rid of all Star Luo Royal Family members.
Zhu Yunyun I feel relieved this time.
She has heard of Ghost Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo, which are levels ninety-six and ninety-five respectively.
They are all good at concealing assassinations.
In this way, Ghost Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo hid in the dark, and came to the Star Luo Empire with Zhu Yunyun and others.
Zhu Kun's death message arrived in the capital faster than them.
Zhu Yunyun When he got out of the car, the housekeeper came forward quickly and said in a very low voice, "Madam, Your Majesty has sent people to ask you twice to ask you to enter the palace."
Zhu Yunyun's footsteps did not stop, "I got it."
In the side hall of the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Dai Tianfeng was sitting on the main seat. He did not wear formal court clothes, only a dark robe, and the jade belt around his waist was tied loosely, as if he had just rushed over from somewhere.
Zhu Yunyun stood in the center of the hall with a sad expression.
Dai Tianfeng's eyes stayed on her for a moment, "I heard about Zhu Kun's murder. Please express my condolences."
"Zhu Kun is a hero of the empire, and the empire will never forget his contribution."
Zhu Yunyun bowed slightly. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Dai Tianfeng tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, "Do you have any clues about the murderer?"
Zhu Yunyun was silent for a moment.
"When my wife heard the noise and rushed over, she found that her husband had... been assassinated. The method was clean and neat, not the work of ordinary thieves."
Dai Tianfeng frowned slightly. "Spirit Hall did it?"
Zhu Yunyun didn't answer, but she didn't deny it either.
Dai Tianfeng stared at her for a while, as if he wanted to see if she was hiding anything at that moment.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze.
"I understand, you go back home and take a good rest."
Zhu Yunyun When he walked out of the side hall, the sun just peeked out from behind the clouds, illuminating the stone slabs on the square in front of the hall.
She did not leave the palace immediately, but walked around the corridor, passed through a hanging flower door, and walked towards the queen's bedroom.
The queen was sitting on the soft couch in front of the window. When she heard the footsteps, she raised her head and saw that it was Zhu Yunyun, and her eyes became softer.
"Cousin, you are here."
"I have already seen your Majesty's side."
The queen nodded, "I know everything about you. Are you okay?"
Zhu Yunyun sat down next to her and was silent for a while.
"There is something I want to talk to the queen alone."
The queen dismissed the maid and waited for the palace door to close.
Zhu Yunyun Lower your voice.
"Spirit Hall wants Zhu Family to replace Dai Family."
"What?"
Empress Zhu was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
She looked straight at Zhu Yunyun, as if she wanted to make sure she heard correctly.
Zhu Yunyun looked at her, "I have agreed, and the plan has already started. Zhu Kun is the first victim of this plan."
Empress Zhu's hands were shaking with shock
"You want me to be the queen?"
