Zhu A'ao returned to Wuying Palace, saluted Chongzhen, and said: "Father, don't worry, I have been given to Mr. Hao to take care of me. My daughter will go to make preparations. She will wait until her father finds a warrior who dares to assassinate Li Zicheng.

The daughter then led people out of the city."

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Yu's pretty face that was still somewhat childish, took a breath, and wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out. In the end, he just forced a smile and nodded.

Zhu Yushuo returned to her palace and immediately asked several maids waiting on her to change her clothes, comb her hair and put on makeup.

Since she was going to see Li Zicheng as the Princess of Ming Dynasty, of course she had to dress up.

Several of the maids around Zhu Aela were timid, but Fei Zhen'e, who was sent by Zhou Hou a few months ago to teach her how to behave outside the palace, was bolder and often took the initiative to talk to her.

No, while helping Zhu Aelao dress up, Fei Zhen'e asked: "Now that we can't leave the palace, where is Your Highness planning to go in such a grand manner?"

Zhu Aao didn't think much and said: "Go and see Li Zicheng."

Fei Zhen'e was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then said in surprise: "See a thief? Why is this?"

Zhu Yuyao was actually very nervous when she thought about going out of the city to assassinate Li Zicheng in the camp, and subconsciously wanted to find someone to talk to.

She heard the words and said: "As an envoy, negotiate with Li Zicheng."

Fei Zhen'e was a few years older than Zhu Yusao. She entered the palace after moving from Henan to the capital a few years ago. She had much more experience than the average palace maid.

She hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said: "How can you let His Highness do this mission? There are so many ministers in the city and no one is willing to go?"

Zhu A'ao heard that Fei Zhen'e was worried about her, and comforted her: "You don't have to worry, there will be no danger when I go."

Fei Zhen'e stopped talking.

After Zhu Ailao had finished making her hair bun, she suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, would you like your maid to go with you? There will be someone to take care of you."

"No." Zhu Yuyao refused without hesitation.

If it weren't for the worry that she wouldn't be able to seize the opportunity to kill Li Zicheng, Zhu Yuyao wouldn't even want to lead the so-called warrior, because she knew that everyone else except her would die afterwards.

So how can one bring an extra palace maid?

"Your Highness..."

Fei Zhen'e wanted to plead again, but was directly interrupted by Zhu Aa'a.

"I have a heavy responsibility when I go to the camp this time. I won't bring anyone else to wait. You don't have to say it anymore."

Just after Zhu Aao finished speaking, Wang Chengen's voice came from outside.

"Is Her Royal Highness the princess here?"

"You're dressing up inside," the palace maid standing guard outside replied.

"Your Highness the Princess, I have something to ask for." Wang Chengen shouted directly from outside.

Zhu Yurao guessed that it was probably about stabbing Chuang. There was nothing inconvenient for her here, so she said, "Come in and talk."

After Wang Chengen came in, he looked at Zhu Ainao for a while, sighed softly and said: "Your Highness, I am afraid you will need to bring this copper hairpin with you this time."

After saying that, Wang Chengen took out a copper hairpin nearly half a foot long from his sleeve.

I saw that this copper hairpin was not only plain and simple, but the tail of the hairpin looked quite sharp and had a faint blue color.

Zhu Yuyao didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion: "What does the prince mean by this?"

Wang Chengen sighed: "The brave old slaves who dare to assassinate the intruder have been found, but they are afraid that they will not be able to bring weapons into Li Zicheng's tent, so they will have to rely on this bronze hairpin on His Highness's head to get inside.

Although this hairpin is not very sharp, it is filled with extremely poisonous substances. As long as Li Zicheng's skin is pierced, he will die."

After hearing Wang Chengen's words, Zhu A'ao's attention was focused on the copper hairpin, and there was no other special performance.

But several palace maids nearby were frightened.

None of them expected that Zhu Yuyao was going to assassinate Li Zicheng!

In this way, even if the assassination was successful, how could Zhu Yusuo survive?

Only Fei Zhen'e was surprised and had a strange look in her eyes.

Zhu Yao took the copper hairpin and looked at it and asked: "Is one hairpin enough? If not, I can wear a few more. I don't think the intruder will be wary of a woman like me."

Wang Chengen said: "We only found three brave men who dared to attack. Two of them would seize other people's weapons and assist from the side. Only the one with the highest martial arts skills would use this poisonous hairpin to assassinate Li Zicheng."

Therefore, Your Highness only needs to bring this poisonous hairpin. If you bring too many, it will arouse the suspicion of the intruders."

"I see."

Zhu Aelao nodded, then looked in the mirror and inserted the copper poisonous hairpin into the thick black bun of her hair.

Wang Chengen, however, looked at the palace maids next to him and said: "There is another shortcoming in this assassination plan - if the princess goes with only three men and no maids, it will not be consistent with common sense and may cause intrusion."

The thief is suspicious.

Therefore, I have to choose a bold and careful maid to accompany Her Highness the Princess."

Zhu Ainao couldn't help but frown after hearing this, turned to look at Wang Cheng'en and said, "No need, right?"

Zhu Yurao didn't want more people to follow her to die.

Wang Chengen sighed: "Your Royal Highness, I know that you are kind-hearted and don't want more people to accompany you into danger. But whether you can succeed in this assassination is related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty, and no omissions can be tolerated.

."

Having said that, Wang Chengen looked at Fei Zhen'e and the others again, and asked with a smile: "Are any of you willing to accompany the palace master? As long as you agree, you will immediately receive a reward of ten thousand taels of silver, even if you

No need, I can give it to my family."

Several of the palace ladies couldn't help but tremble under Wang Chengen's gaze, and some even couldn't help but retreat.

But one person immediately responded: "My maid is willing!"

"Sister Zhen'e?" Zhu Ya'a couldn't help but look at Fei Zhen'e in surprise when she saw this, "Don't you understand? The people who follow me this time will fall into a situation of death and no life, no matter whether they succeed or not!"

"My maid knows!" Fei Zhen'e said and knelt down to Zhu A'ao, "To be honest with Your Highness, my maid was originally a woman from a wealthy family in Henan Prefecture. When thieves broke into Henan, dozens of members of my family were murdered, except for my maid.

Survive!

Later, the maidservant was exiled to the capital, and the queen sent people to give her porridge to help her, and she was adopted as a palace maid, so she was able to survive.

Therefore, whether it is to avenge the whole family or to repay the Queen for surviving, the maid hopes to go to the camp with His Highness.

Even if you can't kill that thief Li Zicheng with your own hands, you can still protect His Highness with your life. I beg Your Highness to do it!"

What Fei Zhen'e said was impossible for Zhu Aela to tell whether it was true or not, but Wang Cheng'en was sure it was true.

As the mother of a country, Empress Zhou sent people to give porridge and relief whenever refugees appeared outside the capital, and even selected suitable people to enter the palace to save their lives.

This shows the kindness of the royal family.

Fei Zhen'e is obviously a person who survived because of the kindness of the royal family.

In addition, Fei Zhen'e has served Empress Zhou for several years, which is trustworthy enough.

Thinking of this, Wang Chengen nodded and said: "In that case, it's up to you."

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Wang!" Fei Zhen'e thanked Wang Cheng'en.

Zhu Aela wanted to refuse, but considering the importance of this attack and Fei Zhen'e's determined expression, she finally said nothing.

···

After a while.

Zhu Yu'e, dressed in a rich dress, came to Wuying Palace again, followed closely by Fei Zhen'e, dressed as a palace maid and also wearing a copper hairpin.

"Meet my father." Zhu Aao saluted Chongzhen and asked, "My daughter is ready, where are the three warriors?"

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Yu'ao and said, "It's in the side hall."

Zhu Ainao said: "My daughter wants to have a few words with them."

After hearing this, Chongzhen said subconsciously: "They are all Jianghu people recruited by Dongchang. Are you... forget it, go and talk."

Without saying anything, Zhu A'ao took Fei Zhen'e to the side hall and saw three men drinking and eating meat in silence.

They were all devouring their food, obviously because they were hungry, and maybe they hadn't had such good food and wine in a long time.

After all, the capital has been short of food for quite some time.
