Chapter 247 Counterattack
"Please stay."
Su Ming suddenly stepped forward and stopped several people and said to Yemuqi: "Your Highness, the assassin who had just fallen into the water and escaped has been caught. Should he hand over the person to the Ministry of Justice?"
Upon hearing this, Yemuqi's eyes changed slightly, and then he looked at Jun Tingsheng, "No, I want to interrogate myself."
"Young Master Jun, go with me too, after all, you were there just now."
So the few people came to the backyard together. More than one assassin was caught. After asking Su Ming, he learned that he was meeting with his companions when he was grabbing the assassin in the water.
Yemuqi looked at the people in front of him and asked coldly: "Who asked you to assassinate me?"
"Caomin doesn't know what the young master means? After falling into the water, Caomin was rescued by three young masters, but was washed away by the water flow."
"Yes, yes, we are all honest and honest people. I wonder why the young masters wanted to arrest us."
Several people chattered and explained, looking like ordinary people. Song Baoling watched and did not make any conclusions easily. She slowly leaned over and looked at them carefully.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that they had something in common, that is, everyone had the same strange mark behind their ears, like people from the same organization.
Song Baoling did not expose them in public, but walked back to Jun Tingsheng silently. In fact, the matter has developed to this day and cannot be sure who the target of these people is.
Is the person they are going to assassinate Yemuqi or Jun Tingsheng?
"Brother, I don't think I can ask anything, why don't you give them to the Ministry of Justice."
Yemuqi agreed to Linglong's proposal and asked Su Ming to send someone to the Ministry of Justice. Unexpectedly, before they could walk out of the door, the guards screamed from behind them.
"Your Highness, they committed suicide!"
Hearing this, Song Baoling and others hurried back, and saw several assassins who had been poisoned and died.
Seeing this, Jun Tingsheng's face suddenly sank and he looked up at Su Ming: "Didn't you check after catching someone?"
Su Ming didn't expect this to happen. He saw that it was not just Jun Tingsheng, but even Yemuqi was looking at him, and he felt depressed and regretful.
"I'm so sorry, I... forgot it for a moment."
Looking at Su Ming who looked stupid, the few of them were powerless to complain. Now the clues were broken and nothing was useful to say.
After the group returned to the front hall, Su Ming was suddenly called away by his subordinates, and Linglong didn't know where to go.
“Those people are not ordinary people.”
Jun Tingsheng and Yemuqi turned their heads and saw Song Baoling explaining to them: "There are strange marks behind those people's ears, and with the fact that they committed suicide by taking poison, I guess they should belong to the world.
Some force.”
Hearing Song Baoling's words, Yemuqi's face couldn't help but look ugly, and immediately asked his confidant to investigate the matter.
At this time, Su Ming suddenly ran in in a hurry, holding a carrier pigeon in his hand.
"Your Highness, this is the carrier pigeon that your subordinates just intercepted. Do you know that Princess Linglong has been sending messages to the outside world?"
Hearing this, Song Baoling and the other two looked at each other in shock. Yemuqi took the note on the carrier pigeon, and after seeing the content on it, his face suddenly sank.
"Are you all right? Can you leave?"
Linglong ran into the house with a happy face, but saw that everyone in the house looked at her with strange eyes, "What's wrong? Why do you look at me with such eyes?"
Yemqi raised his hand holding the letter paper and asked her, "Who are you sending a message to?"
The moment she saw the letter, Linglong was stunned. She denied guiltily: "What do you believe? I don't know what the emperor is saying."
Seeing that she refused to admit it, Song Baoling pretended to be very sad, "Sister Linglong, I really treat you as my sister. Why do you harm us?"
"If Mr. Su hadn't happened to be present just now, then the Crown Prince and my uncle might have... Who are you telling me?"
Linglong originally wanted to argue, but when she heard Song Baoling's words, she regretted it and quickly explained: "No, I didn't want to harm you."
"My mother said that as long as I was asked to tell me whereabouts truthfully, I would consider postponing my marriage, but I really didn't know there would be an assassin."
While speaking, Linglong ran over and grabbed Song Baoling's hand, "Ling'er, you must believe me, I really won't hurt you."
"Actually, I regret it now. If I hadn't disclosed my whereabouts on my own initiative, you wouldn't have been in danger."
Seeing that she was very guilty, Song Baoling did not continue to pursue the matter, "Since you said you didn't know, I will believe you, but now you have to send a new letter."
Linglong also wanted to make up for the mistake, so she wrote the letter and sent it out according to what Song Baoling said. After a while, another group of assassins sneaked in.
Fortunately, Song Baoling and others were ready. After the assassin sneaked in, they were all captured. In order to prevent them from committing suicide again, Song Baoling used medicine to make them faint.
"I don't have to guess. Most of these people were sent by the queen."
Song Baoling turned around and looked at Yemuqi sitting opposite him, "Your Highness, the prince, you have already caught him now. As for what you want to do, it depends on yourself."
After so much trouble, the few people had no intention of going shopping again. After returning to the palace, they dispersed.
When he returned to the tent, Jun Tingsheng called Song Baoling, "You are close to Linglong. In your opinion, will she stand on Yemuqi's side tomorrow?"
“Yes.”
Song Baoling nodded without thinking and said, "The Queen is not her biological mother, and the Queen has always wanted to make her get married. If something happens to the Queen, she will no longer have to worry about this."
When she parted with Linglong just now, she had already separated the interests of these two things. I believe she would definitely make the right choice.
The next morning court-
Yemuqi mentioned his assassination and brought the assassin captured last night to the emperor. Linglong was also summoned to the main hall for this matter.
"Father, my sons have told me truthfully about the incident. Today, I will accuse the current queen of secretly sending someone to assassinate my sons, hoping that my father will make the decision for my sons."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials were in an uproar. The emperor was already full of anger. He looked at Linglong and asked in a deep voice: "Linglong, what your emperor brother said is true?"
"Return to my father, everything the emperor said is true."
Linglong leaned over and kowtowed and continued to explain: "Yesterday, before leaving the palace, Erchen was deceived by his mother's words, and secretly sent a message to tell him whereabouts, but Erchen really didn't know there would be an assassin."
"It was because my son was too stupid that the emperor was in danger several times, and my son was willing to be punished for this."
When the emperor heard this, he was furious and immediately summoned the empress to the hall for questions. The ministers were so scared that they knelt down.
I thought that everyone had all the evidence and physical evidence, and the queen had nothing to argue about, but she unexpectedly denied it when she arrived in the hall, claiming that someone had slandered her.
