Wearing the Duke's Mansion, he was scrambling to save his life

Chapter 16 Killing invisible

Qiao Xiaoxi looked at the house. This ancient house was built tall and wide.

But this warm room has a covered board on the ceiling, a couch in front of the bed, a screen in front of the couch, and a green sand cabinet outside the screen.

The space is small and dense!

The brazier was placed in front of the couch, and there was no window on the wall behind it.

There is a green screen in front, and the window paper is pasted tightly.

Charcoal is burning in this small space!

Those girls didn’t eat for a day and a night, their bodies were weak, and nine of them lost their lives.

At school, we often hear about people committing suicide by burning charcoal.

Qiao Xiaoxi asked Ding Kelian: "Is this charcoal expensive?"

Ding Kelian smiled and said, "It's very precious. This charcoal fire was only seen after I entered the Qiao Mansion. In winter, it is only used in the rooms of the master, his wife, and the eldest daughter."

Ding Keyun was also surprised and said: "Each room uses the second watch. It's really a noble family. Let us use the fifth watch. It's warm all night. The princess is so kind!"

Qiao Xiaoxi smiled in her heart, the princess who wanted to kill people is really nice.

During the investigation at the Dali Temple, is there really no precedent in the history of cases involving death due to charcoal burning?

Qiao Xiaoxi instructed the little girl: "Take this brazier outside the green gauze cupboard and light it up. I don't need it in my warm room."

The little girl didn't dare to say: "Mammy has instructed that the princess must put it next to the lady's bed. The lady is weak, don't let her get cold."

Qiao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "I won't tell you, and you won't tell me. The nanny won't know, and the princess won't know."

The little girl kept waving her hands: "Even if I don't tell you, the princess will know. If she knows, I will die."

Qiao Xiaoxi looked around the house.

Nodded, it is better to be killed by charcoal than to be killed by hidden arrows!

If this happened at night, with poison needles, poison arrows, or poison knives, you wouldn't have a peaceful night.

This is good, you can burn it however you want.

I don't want to sleep in the warm bed, let's see what you can do.

Qiao Xiaoxi made the bed in the warm room and lowered the curtains.

But she quietly went into the green gauze cabinet and said to Ding Keyun and Ding Qingke, "Tonight, I will sleep with you in the green gauze cabinet first."

Qiao Xiaoxi quietly ordered: "Ding Keyun, Ding Kelian, you two should be alert and wake me up at five o'clock."

Eight little maids took turns to keep watch at night, ensuring that the brazier beside the bed in the warm room was burning brightly until it was extinguished at five o'clock in the morning.

Qiao Xiaoxi was pushed awake by Ding Kelian.

Wait for the little girl to go out, then quietly slip back to the bed in the warm room.

During this day and two nights, there was a fire in the woodshed overnight. I was nervous all day and couldn't sleep well in the first half of the night.

Now I can sleep peacefully!

I slept until I woke up naturally.

Qiao Xiaoxi opened her eyes, feeling refreshed, and looked at the bed that looked like a living coffin.

I immediately remembered that this was the Duke's Mansion.

I listened carefully and it was quiet outside.

Qiao Xiaoxi pulled open the bed curtain, and Ding Keyun felt sorry for her, so they both rushed over.

Ding Keyun smiled and said, "I know that Miss is blessed with a good fortune."

Qiao Xiaoxi was surprised: "Why is it so quiet outside?"

Ding Kelian said: "I don't know what happened to the little girls. They all ran away. I went to the yard to check, but there was no one there. Even the little parrot was not on the shelf."

Qiao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "You two didn't make any noise?"

Ding Keyun smiled and said, "Miss, you went to sleep quietly in the green gauze cabinet last night, and you returned to bed quietly at five o'clock in the morning. I didn't dare to make a fuss."

Ding Kelian said: "My sister and I will quietly return here and guard the young lady."

Qiao Xiaoxi was happy: "Comb my hair for me, I don't know how to comb my hair like this.

"Get ready and I'll take you two to watch the fun.

Qiao Xiaoxi put on her clothes and the two girls helped her comb her hair.

The three men walked out of the house and sat down in the pavilion over the lotus pond.

The little parrot flew from somewhere, landed on Qiao Xiaoxi's shoulder, and rubbed its head against Qiao Xiaoxi's ears.

He kept saying, "Oh, Sister Xixi, you are alive, woooo, woooo, I thought you were dead, so I flew out and cried."

Qiao Xiaoxi stretched out her hand, and the little parrot fell into her hand, continuing to talk.

There was a noise outside. Qiao Xiaoxi smiled and said to the parrot: "Stop talking. Someone is coming. Come watch the fun with me."

The little parrot immediately stopped talking and flew to Qiao Xiaoxi's shoulder.
