Leng Yue and Leng Shuang obviously did not expect to encounter an assassination in the study, and their faces changed. However, the two reacted very quickly. Leng Yue walked in quickly to check the surrounding environment, while Leng Shuang jumped directly from the window where the hidden weapon flew.
He walked out and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The other guards in the mansion were on guard and stood beside Sicang and Yun Zishu with swords in hand.
"Everyone get out." Sicang's voice seemed to be suppressing pain, "Tell the imperial doctor."
Yun Zishu's face turned pale: "Sicang! How are you?"
Leng Yue turned to look at Sicang, and she happened to catch the look that her superior Sicang was giving. She understood instantly, turned around and ran out: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly! Call for the imperial doctor. His Royal Highness has been assassinated!"
There was an instant commotion in the Prince's Mansion, and the guards suddenly stepped up their guard. Si Cangji tapped the large acupuncture point on his shoulder blade and whispered: "Help me go to Nuang Pavilion and sit down."
Yun Zishu didn't say anything and helped him to Nuange.
Sitting down on the brocade couch, Yun Zishu quickly checked his injuries. A plum blossom-shaped concealed weapon was inserted right into his shoulder blade. Without saying a word, Yun Zishu reached out and said, "Give me the dagger."
Sicang handed him a dagger.
Yun Zishu pulled out the dagger and neatly cut open the robe on his back, revealing the wound stabbed by the hidden weapon. The area around the wound was already turning black and blue, and it was obvious that the hidden weapon was smeared with poison.
"Don't worry." Sicang said in a low voice, "This kind of poison won't kill you for a while."
Yun Zishu frowned: "With your skills, you shouldn't be injured by hidden weapons."
In Yun Zishu's memory, the last time Sicang was injured was a few years ago. In recent years, no one could hurt him at all.
Sicang said: "Just follow the plan."
As expected.
Yun Zishu looked worried, "Even if you want to use the trick, there is no need to risk your own body."
What's more, she could obviously dodge the hidden weapon.
"Shu'er, don't be angry. Being angry can harm your body." Sicang comforted her with some guilt, "You are in a special physical condition now, so you can't be angry."
Yun Zishu's eyes fell on his shoulder and back, "Do you want me to help you pull out the hidden weapon?"
"No need." Sicang shook his head, "Just wait until the imperial doctor comes and let the imperial doctor handle it."
Yun Zishu was still a little worried: "This poison..."
"Not fatal."
Yun Zishu's face was sullen, but she didn't feel relieved after hearing these words. Her usually calm eyes were filled with a cold look.
There was nothing she could do now. The purpose of Si Cang's trick was to let the imperial doctor spread the news of his assassination and poisoning, and then find out all the restless people behind it. At this moment, besides being anxious, she could only wait for the imperial doctor to come over.
Fortunately, the people in the Prince's Mansion were very fast, and the guard commander galloped directly to ask for the imperial doctor. After inviting the imperial doctor, he caught the most skilled doctor on his horse and ran all the way back to the Prince's Mansion.
Because the situation was urgent, the Yulin military commander released the people first before reporting to Emperor Wu. At this time, Emperor Wu was chatting with Concubine Gua in Baoxiang Palace. When he heard that the prince was assassinated, Emperor Wu sat up from the couch and asked, "What did you say?"
"The guard commander of the Prince's Mansion hurried into the palace and took the imperial doctor away. I heard that the prince's hidden weapon was poisoned. The situation is not good."
Emperor Wu looked cold: "Isn't the Prince's Mansion said to be heavily guarded? How could it be easily succeeded by an assassin?"
“You are in a humble position and don’t know the inside story.”
"Let them investigate carefully and find out everything for me! If there is anything wrong with the prince, I will cut them into pieces with a thousand knives!"
"yes!"
"Send a few more imperial doctors over to make sure the prince is safe and sound."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Concubine Gua was thoughtful: "The prince was assassinated in his own house? This assassin is quite courageous."
Emperor Wu's eyebrows were extremely cold: "There must be someone who doesn't want the prince to ascend the throne smoothly. I must see who is so bold!"
Concubine Gua was silent, her eyes slightly lowered, staring at the white porcelain cup with blue and white patterns in her hand, her expression as calm as snow.
Several doctors from the Imperial Hospital hurriedly left the palace and went to the Prince's Mansion. As the Prince's biological mother, the Queen soon learned of the Prince's assassination. She frowned, and her already gloomy expression became even more gloomy.
"It's really a wave of ups and downs. Ever since the prince and this Yun Zishu came from Dayong, there has been no peace in the palace." The queen said in a cold tone, "Yun Zishu is a disaster."
If it weren't for Yun Zishu, none of this would have happened.
The prince's mansion was so tightly guarded that the prince could be assassinated. If there wasn't something fishy about it, who would believe it?
The queen raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows: "Mother Zhao, go and invite Concubine Gua over."
"yes."
"...Forget it, don't go." The queen stood up, "I'd better go to Baoxiang Hall."
Aunt Zhao quickly ordered someone to prepare a phoenix chariot and went to Baoxiang Hall with the Queen.
When they arrived at the Baoxiang Hall where Concubine Gua lived, the emperor had already left. Concubine Gua was lying alone on the couch with her eyes closed and meditating. When she heard that the Queen had arrived, she did not get up. She just said lazily: "Please come in, the Queen."
The queen came here at this time, probably because of the assassination of the prince.
"yes."
The people of the Baoxiang Palace knelt down respectfully to greet the Queen. Aunt Zhao opened the curtain, and the Queen walked in expressionlessly. She looked at Concubine Gua who was lying on the couch with her eyebrows furrowed: "I came here rashly and did not disturb my sister's rest."
Bar?"
"What did Sister Queen say?" Concubine Gua chuckled, "I can rest whenever I want, without any interruption."
"I want my sister Gua Concubine to help me calculate a hexagram." The queen walked to the chair in front of her and sat down, her voice slightly tired, "There have been too many things happening recently, it is really exhausting."
Concubine Gua was silent for a moment, then slowly sat up and asked, "What does the queen sister want me to do?"
"Look at Yun Zishu." The queen's face darkened, "I always feel that she is not a peaceful person."
Concubine Gua said calmly: "What happened?"
"The prince was assassinated. What happened just now." The Queen sneered, "There are so many guards in the prince's palace and they are heavily defended. Not only did the assassin sneak into the prince's palace smoothly in broad daylight, but he was also able to stab the prince. Doesn't he have three heads and six arms?"
"So what does this have to do with the Crown Princess?" Concubine Gua wondered, "Did the Crown Princess instruct an assassin to kill the Crown Prince?"
"I don't mean that. Yun Zishu has no reason to assassinate the prince." The queen raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows. "I just found that no one who has anything to do with Yun Zishu is safe, and something will happen from time to time.
Order something."
Concubine Gua's expression did not change: "So the Queen Sister wants to do some calculations to see if the Crown Princess has any ominous destiny?"
The queen was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Even if it is calculated that there is an unknown fate, so what?" Concubine Gua said casually, "The Crown Princess is pregnant now. This child is the only heir of the royal family. She is precious, and the emperor must protect this child.
.”
The queen looked slightly stiff: "Yun Zishu is pregnant?"
