746 Trust him
"I will order people to investigate this matter thoroughly." The King of Chu pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Tonight, the prince was frightened. Huanong went back early and took good care of him."
"Yes, Father." Shi Huanong knew what he was thinking. Prince Hai held the power and could shake him without real evidence?
Shi Huanong took Man'er and shedded, Concubine Hua was still taking care of Chu Lingjin, and the imperial doctor also retreated.
After they all left, Eunuch Li, who had been standing beside the King of Chu, said: "Your Majesty, this matter seems to be done by the Prince of Sea, but now the Prince of Sea is in the border town, so it shouldn't be like this!"
The King of Chu did not say anything. Chu Sihai was in the border town. Even if he wanted to deal with the prince, he would not be able to use such fierce means unless he did make any plans today.
However, if the prince is really unfortunately killed, he should also be aware that his vigilance against him will increase.
What if people from other forces are framed? In the court, there are many people who can use this method. They cannot convict a palace maid early.
"If you order more people to add more people, see where the maid named Lu Ying is now." He said.
"Yes." Eunuch Li responded, immediately called people, and ordered him to send more people to search.
"Your Majesty, are you going to Concubine Hua tonight?" After the guards left, Eunuch Li asked.
The King of Chu waved his hand. In addition to this matter, the prince went to Hua Guifei's place tonight. Hua Guifei would definitely ask him to severely punish Prince Hai. However, according to the current situation of Chu State, how could he break up with Chu Sihai?
"I'll go back to the bedroom to rest." He stood up.
"I sent the emperor back to the bedroom." Eunuch Li immediately greeted him.
That night, the guards in the palace searched through the entire palace, but could not find the maid named Lu Ying. Even the King of Chu could not help but send someone to search the Sea King's Mansion, but he could not find it.
The maid seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
The King of Chu began to feel a little suspicious. If it weren't for guilt, how could the maid disappear for no reason? Even the Prince of Sea Mansion was gone?
Could it be that everything that happened tonight was really done by Prince Hai, who happened to be knocked out by Shi Huanong?
But if a maid who is really powerless, how can she leave this deep palace? Is there still their people in this palace to respond? In which corner are those people lurking in now?
The King of Chu was full of anxiety and suddenly felt that the palace was not safe. The prince was almost poisoned in front of him. Who would be the next one to be killed?
He was in a daze all night, and there was clearly someone staying outside, but he never felt much security until the second half of the night, and he died of sleep.
The whole bedroom was quiet. At some point, the windows of the bedroom were blown open by the wind, and the cool wind penetrated, allowing the King of Chu to slowly wake up.
Why is it so cold in the bedroom? When the strong wind blows, won’t the damn palace maids and eunuchs even close the windows?
"Come..." He called out, but there was no response in the bedroom.
He rubbed his eyes, opened his eyes, and called again: "Come."
Still no one responded.
The King of Chu suddenly became uneasy and sat up suddenly. As soon as he started, a silver light flashed in the room. Then, a fierce wind rushed towards him.
The King of Chu was shocked. Fortunately, he was also a man who grew up on a horse back then. He realized the danger and immediately jumped up from the bed, walked to the dragon's bed with a "scan" sound, and pulled out the long sword hanging on the head of the bed, stabbing the man in black directly in the face.
The man in black dodged and turned his wrist and another sharp sword wind came.
The sword moves are sharp and powerful, but the martial arts are extremely high!
The King of Chu was shocked and hurriedly avoided him while shouting: "Come here, there is an assassin!"
After a loud shout, the footsteps of the guards immediately came from outside.
The man in black seemed to be shocked, anxious, and his moves suddenly became a little messy.
But his martial arts are obviously much more powerful than the King of Chu. Even if the moves are messy, he easily pierced his shoulder blades after two moves.
The King of Chu was in pain and wanted to wave his sword to greet him, but the man in black pulled the sword out of his shoulder and continued to stab him with a sword.
His moves were extremely fierce, and he was killed in every move.
The King of Chu was so scared that he didn't care about the blood-storming wounds, and held his sword tightly to fight.
Outside, the door of the bedroom was knocked open with a "bang" and countless guards rushed in.
The man in black was shocked by the intrusion of the guards. The sword that stabbed the King of Chu paused slightly. With just a moment of hesitation, the King of Chu had already picked up his long sword and stabbed him with one sword.
Hearing Jian Feng, the man in black was shocked and retreated suddenly, but the sword wind of the King of Chu had already arrived at him.
With a "brush", the sword did not hurt him, but picked off the black scarf that was covering him on his face.
Under the faint pearl of the night pearl, a familiar face was clearly imprinted in the pupils of the King of Chu.
Shocked, surprised, and angry, but the man in black ignored his anger and disappointment. After he saw his face, his eyes closed, and his murderous aura was overflowing, and he was about to stab him with a sword.
Even though the King of Chu tried his best to avoid it, the sword still slashed through his arm, and with a hiss, his flesh turned outward, and blood suddenly surged.
The man in black did not pause at all and wanted to attack him, but behind him, the guards arrived.
"Protect the car, protect the car!" Countless guards rushed over and surrounded the men in black.
The man in black knew that he could not continue to assassinate the King of Chu tonight. After responding to several moves with the guards, he found an opportunity and quickly broke out through the window, and in a blink of an eye it was dim in the dark night.
"I am late to save the emperor, please forgive me!" The chief guard came hurriedly, and as soon as he saw the King of Chu, he immediately exclaimed: "Come here, I will pass on the imperial physician. The emperor is injured, I will pass on the imperial physician immediately!"
Everyone was in a hurry again, and no one thought that the prince was poisoned at the banquet tonight, and the assassin broke into the bedroom in the second half of the night. What surprised everyone even more was that the assassin was actually the Prince of Sea!
Many guards saw it with their own eyes that Prince Hai broke in and wanted to assassinate the emperor!
Eunuch Li was knocked unconscious in the outer hall and was still unconscious. As for Prince Hai, after he escaped from the bedroom, no one of the many guards in the palace could find him.
The person disappeared, and it should be said that he had escaped from the palace.
The King of Chu lost too much blood and the imperial doctors were busy. As soon as there was a spy outside the palace, he said that Concubine Jin, who had sent the Xuan Kingdom, would arrive at the imperial city tomorrow. Prince Bei had an accident in Xuandu. Prince Hai, who was stationed in the border city, personally escorted Concubine Jin back to the imperial city.
When the King of Chu heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Come here, I will pass on my oral order, and ordered Prince Yun to lead his troops to take Chu Sihai back to the palace for trial!"
The order was issued, and he couldn't breathe a sigh of relief. His eyes turned dark and he fainted.
Tonight, the imperial palace of Chu was completely in chaos...
...
Qingyou tore off the human skin mask from her face, held it in her palm and tore it into pieces, then walked to Luo Chen, who was sitting in the carriage, and whispered: "Have you come out?"
"Not yet." Luo Chen looked at the end of the street, and was still a little anxious. It was almost dawn. If she didn't come again, she was afraid that something might happen to Helan Akagi in the palace.
Qingyou also looked back at the street, and a little uneasiness flashed in her eyes.
There are many masters in the palace courtyard. If you are surrounded by masters, it is not easy to get out.
There is also Yun Qiao, she is responsible for giving him a wind, and I wonder if it is still safe now.
"You came out just now, sure no one followed you?" Luo Chen kept looking towards the end of the street, and was also paying close attention to the movements around him.
"Don't worry, I've been in the palace for so long and I'm very familiar with every road in the palace. If I come out, no one will be able to keep up with me." Qingyou replied, with a little dust on her light green dress, "Where is that maid?"
"I have already sent it away. When she wakes up, the person is probably thousands of miles away and it won't be in the way." Luo Chen replied.
Qingyou nodded and stopped talking. Like Luo Chen, even if she was anxious, she could only continue to wait.
After about two incense sticks, there was finally movement at the end of the street.
The two of them were shocked at the same time. They looked up and saw a person coming in a hurry, with a fast speed, and it was obvious that the lightness skills were also excellent.
Qingyou recognized Yun Qiao as soon as he was a little bit old, but why was she the only one? Where is Helan Akagi?
Before she could come to the front, Luo Chen jumped out of the carriage, strode over, and asked anxiously, "Where is Helan? Where is the others?"
Qingyou also came over, "Has something changed? Something happened?"
"It's okay, don't worry." Yun Qiaoshun breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Mr. Helan said that the girl gave him a gift bag. He followed the gift bag and was still in the palace now."
"It's still in the palace!" Luo Chen was so anxious that he immediately breathed, grabbed her hand and asked anxiously: "What does it mean to stay in the palace? The palace must be in chaos now. Wouldn't he be dead when he stayed in the palace?"
What exactly is the girl thinking? Can he escape again if Helan stays in the palace at this time?
She finally survived after falling off the cliff and returned to her side. If something happened again now... she would never dare to think about it!
"Don't panic, the girl wants Mr. Helan to do this, so there is naturally her reason." Yun Qiao took something out of her arms and stuffed it into Luo Chen's hand, and said softly: "This is what Mr. Helan pretended to be a chef and found for you in the Zaoyu kitchen."
Luo Chen took it and saw that it was a few pieces of osmanthus cake that had been broken, "He..."
"He said you like this and I must give it to you with my own hands." Yun Qiao smiled and said softly: "Mr. Helan wants us to leave first. After he finishes his work tomorrow, he will find us at the agreed place."
"How can we..."
"It's the girl's meaning. Don't be afraid of Sister Luo Chen. Mr. Helan is proficient in disguise skills and there will be no problem." Yun Qiao comforted.
Qingyou pondered for a moment and said, "Since Mr. Helan has other arrangements, let's leave here first."
She patted Luo Chen's shoulder, which was afraid of Luo Chen, and smiled, "He can still think of you in this situation, can't you trust him once?"
Luo Chen looked at them, then looked at the osmanthus cake holding it in his hands. After hesitating for a while, he nodded vigorously: "Okay, I believe him, let's go."
