Murong Xuan was ordered to protect the emperor's safety. In order to avoid the emperor suspecting that he was spying, Murong Xuan deliberately patrolled the perimeter.
I heard that King Zheng was assassinated. How could he enter through such a tight guard? The fact that the emperor and King Zheng stayed together all day must be related to the emperor's heart disease.
The prince's assassination was no small matter. He hurried to the inner courtyard. On the way, he saw his lieutenants Wu Yang and Gong Yichu. They found a secluded place and asked, "Do you know what happened?"
Wu Yang said: "General, the emperor's other courtyard is guarded by the emperor and Prince Zheng's people. Not even a fly can get in, let alone a human being. What fool dares to die in vain."
Last night, Dieyi launched an operation. Gongyichu had already received the news, but he didn't know why Dieyi failed. "Father, what General Wu said makes sense. I'm afraid it's just a trick."
Murong Xuan's eyebrows were deeply furrowed. Not to mention the incident with Concubine Chen, someone in the dark last night saw King Zheng taking his daughter away from Longze and was assassinated on the way. This incident was most likely done by the Queen Mother, who wanted to kill King Zheng.
King Zheng hates the Queen Mother deeply. If the Emperor dies, it will not only make the Queen Mother sad. King Zheng has the imperial decree and tiger talisman given by the Emperor. It is not impossible to seize the imperial power by force.
Everything was put together, and the conclusion was drawn that it was impossible for King Zheng to save the emperor regardless of his life. Everything was just like what Gongyichu said, and King Zheng was staged a painful plot.
"You come with me. When you meet the emperor, you must take responsibility regardless of whether an assassin was assassinated or not."
Murong Jinxin followed Yingluo's instructions and stayed in the room to weave the jade lock. She didn't know if it was true or not, but she would rather Yu'er believed it or not.
Seeing that it is getting dark, I have already compiled most of the prayers, so I can raise the prayers to the moon and hang them on the bedside.
Suddenly, I heard the palace maid outside rushing in in a panic, "Queen, someone assassinated the emperor. The one who was injured was King Zheng. The emperor was frightened and is guarding King Zheng now."
Murong Jinxin didn't care much and threw down the jade lock, "Hurry up and order someone to prepare some decoction to calm your nerves. Go quickly!"
Murong Jinxin hurriedly wanted to see the emperor. Now that Prince Zheng was injured, as Murong Yingluo's sister, she also wanted to express her comfort.
Just walking not far away, I saw the emperor returning to the bedroom. He hurriedly came forward and touched his superior Wuyue's arms with his bare hands. He looked around with worried eyes and saw that the emperor's hands were being hugged.
"Your Majesty, you are injured, I am really worried!"
"It's just some flesh wounds. If King Zheng hadn't blocked my sword at the critical moment, I might have been the one lying on the couch. I ordered someone to prepare some good tonics, boil them and send them over."
"Yes, King Zheng has made great contributions to saving the emperor, so I will naturally order people to prepare the best. I also ordered people to prepare a soup to relieve the emperor's shock."
"Prince Zheng has made great contributions to saving me this time. He should be rewarded according to his merits. I should think about it carefully!" Si Wuyue ignored the queen and went straight into the bedroom.
Murong Jinxin followed behind, feeling very unhappy. The most mentioned thing by the emperor during this summer vacation was Prince Zheng. He just said it casually, but the emperor actually took it to heart. Fortunately, Prince Zheng was not a woman, otherwise he would definitely find a way to kill him.
He removes.
Si Wuyue's body has now recovered to health and is no longer as painful and heavy as before. All this is attributed to King Zheng.
If King Zheng is successful in rescuing the king, he must be rewarded according to his merits. This way, he can blatantly promote King Zheng from a leisurely prince to his confidant.
With King Zheng by his side, he could purge the court in the shortest time and leave a clean world for Yuer.
Murong Jinxin saw the emperor frowning and thinking. The emperor's face had never been so solemn before, and he did not dare to step forward to disturb him.
After hearing the report outside the door that his father was coming with someone, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, father is still waiting outside the door!"
"General Murong must have come here because of my assassination. Since I'm fine, there's no need to pursue it. I'll let them all go back when I'm tired!"
Murong Jinxin was very unhappy that the emperor refused to see his father so blatantly, "The emperor is blaming his father for his dereliction of duty."
"Where do you start with these words, Queen? General Murong is the backbone of the country. I know very well that the general is upright and will definitely take full responsibility for it. I will have to waste more words when the time comes."
Murong Jinxin suddenly realized that what the emperor said was absolutely true. Now his father was kneeling outside the door with others, "Father has an upright temperament. If the emperor doesn't see him, he will probably kneel all night. So what should I say to you, my concubine?"
Si Wuyue pretended to be tired and leaned on the couch, "This is not difficult. Since General Murong thinks he has neglected his duty, he should make amends and find out the identity of the assassin as soon as possible. Go ahead!"
The night was full of stars and it was a wonderful night. Murong Xuan, his adopted son and his lieutenants knelt outside the emperor's bedroom and held a thorn in his hand to apologize. They had not seen the emperor for a long time.
I was guessing the emperor's thoughts in my heart, but I saw my daughter Murong Jinxin walking out of the bedroom. Even though father and daughter are different from each other, they are kings and ministers.
"Queen, when can the Emperor summon you?"
When Murong Jinxin saw his father, he had to treat him with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. The emperor was most likely standing at the door, "General Murong, there is no need to wait, the emperor will not see you. The emperor said that since the old general came to plead guilty, why not
Finding out the identity of the assassin as soon as possible will make up for the mistake."
"I will find out the identity of the assassin as soon as possible and make amends for my past mistakes." Murong Jinxin passed the order on behalf of the emperor, then turned back to the bedroom to look after the emperor.
Murong Xuan's eyebrows narrowed slightly. The person who assassinated King Zheng was the Queen Mother. The person who assassinated the emperor was most likely a spy from the ancient Wu Kingdom. The emperor wanted to take the opportunity to investigate the enemy's spies. There is no possibility that this matter had anything to do with Chu'er.
Gongyi first saw Murong Xuan looking at him with his eyes. He was already very cautious. Could it be that this old fox suspected that he had done the assassination of the emperor?
"Father, what should we do now? Nothing can be found out."
"I heard that King Zheng was assassinated last night. This matter must be closely related to that incident. Wu Yang, you stay to protect the safety of the emperor. Chu'er, you go to Fengming Ancient City to investigate."
"Yes! Yes!" The two of them ordered to leave one after another.
Murong Xuan saw Gong Yichu leaving, but his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life. Every time he saw Gong Yichu, he would think of his dead son and the injustice he had done with the ancient Wu Kingdom more than twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, I witnessed him being thrown off a cliff with no trace of his body.
"Ning'er, you said you were pregnant with my child, and you said you would come back for revenge. Is Chu'er my son, Murong Xuan's only son?"
On the other side, Yingluo carefully bandaged Si Wushang's wound. Looking at the shocking wound on his heart, Yingluo frowned in pain, as the knife had pierced the apex of his heart.
"It must be very painful! Will it leave scars?"
"It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt at all to look at you. Only scars on a man's body have a taste."
Even though he was injured, he still looked so good. Considering his excellent medical skills, this small scar would not be a problem for him.
While bandaging her, he said: "I still have the Ningxiang Jade Dew from last time, but I didn't wear it on my body. Why don't I put some medicine on me and see what the effect is."
Si Wushang knew that she said this on purpose. He was weak but still a man, so he took her into his arms.
"Don't move!"
Yingluo raised her eyes and saw his sword-like eyebrows and water-like eyes, his clear eyes staring at her pretty face. Your heart jumped so hard, "Don't make trouble! I'll bandage your wound again."
His voice was a little hoarse, and he swallowed thirstily, "I never thought that a girl like you would appear in my life. You are kind and innocent, but sometimes you are stupid and emotional."
"Are you scolding me?" Yingluo said coquettishly.
"Don't interrupt, listen to me. You are so frank and you don't know when you have settled in my heart. You are my woman and I can't run away in this life. But I prefer smart women. You have to work hard."
, I have placed all my wealth and life on you, and I will leave the matter of getting ahead to you. All I have to do is pamper you, love you, and watch you act nonsense.
Looking at his watery eyes, he was confessing his love to himself. His eyes were filled with tears of happiness, and a slight salty streak ran through the corners of his eyes.
"Fool! Why are you crying? There is one more thing to say! Luo'er, I love you!"
Yingluo threw herself into his arms and couldn't stop crying. She didn't know whether it was because she was moved by Si Wushang's confession, or because she finally found someone who loved her in this life and didn't regret her original choice. Everything had been weighing on her heart for a long time.
