At this moment, Xiaolian suddenly burst into flames, her aura violently shook Cao Shan aside, and she snatched the long knife from Bai Yutian's hand.
Even if Bai Yutian has practiced inner strength for a few days, he has not even reached the level of Ming Jin. He is no match for Xiaolian.
After Cao Shan was shaken away, he quickly reacted. Almost as soon as Xiao Lian succeeded, his body flew out and headed towards Xiao Lian.
At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Cao Shan's face, and he was almost frightened to death in his heart.
Originally, he thought he had completely restrained Xiaolian, so he relaxed his vigilance. He never thought that Xiaolian could suddenly become violent.
The surrounding imperial guards immediately became nervous and hurriedly ran up to protect Bai Yutian.
However, Xiaolian's target was not Bai Yutian. She held the long knife in front of her and wiped it towards her neck.
This time, even if everyone was too fast, they could not stop Xiaolian from committing suicide.
The total time from Xiaolian's sudden violence to her suicide could not exceed three breaths.
"Investigate for me the origins of Xiaolian and all the assassins tonight. Be sure to do so in detail. Also, Concubine Gu, you should be grounded in Suyue Palace until the matter is investigated clearly." Bai Yutian said in a deep voice.
I thought I could catch Concubine Gu this time, but Xiaolian's death caused all the clues to be broken, and Xiaolian's identity has not been proven yet.
"I accept the order, and I believe that Your Majesty is wise, mighty, selfless, and will never wrong a good person." Gu Lianxi seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and said in a low voice.
Although there is no evidence to overthrow Gu Lianxi, at least the grievances of Concubine Yun are cleared and Concubine Yun's name is rectified.
In addition, in the thick darkness, many people woke up and learned about what happened in Tai Chi Hall.
Many people were shocked by tonight's assassination. Not long ago, there was an assassination in the palace, and the target of the assassination was none other than the current Holy Emperor. But now, there is another assassination in the palace, and the target was Concubine Yun Gui. If not
Bai Yutian and his people arrived in time, and I am afraid that Concubine Yun Guifei would have passed away long ago.
The seemingly safe palace is not impenetrable.
Yan Yumeng and his personal maid Rou'er stood not far away, watching everything that happened.
It has to be said that the Bai Yutian tonight is completely different from the Bai Yutian in her impression. If it weren't for the fact that this Bai Yutian looks exactly the same as the previous Bai Yutian, Yan Yumeng would have doubted whether it was a different person.
.
What happened during the few years she was imprisoned in the cold palace that caused such a big change in Bai Yutian.
In the past, let alone targeting Gu Lianxi, I am afraid that seeing this situation, I would have hid under the table with my head in my hands.
"Rou'er, let's go back. His Majesty probably won't return to Lingyue Palace today."
Yan Yumeng said to Rouer.
Something like this just happened now. Considering how much Bai Yutian loves Concubine Yun, I'm afraid Bai Yutian will stay in Tai Chi Hall today.
However, she actually felt jealous. Putting aside everything else, Bai Yutian was actually quite good-looking, especially with his tall and straight figure and bright eyes. Even if he was not an emperor, he was still a very outstanding person based on his appearance alone.
After the two left, several imperial doctors rushed to the Taiji Hall. They came to the Taiji Hall as quickly as possible to diagnose Bai Yutian.
Fortunately, Bai Yutian only had qi and blood shock, and his body was slightly weak. He only needed to rest for a few days to fully recover.
According to Cao Shan's speculation, Xiaolian should be in the realm of inner strength and only one step away from dark strength.
Bai Yutian was lucky enough to fight against such a master and not suffer too much injury.
"Your Majesty, you have a body of ten thousand gold. How can I be so virtuous and capable as to be worthy of Your Majesty's sacrifice of my life to save me?" After the imperial doctor left, Concubine Yun Guifei came to take care of Bai Yutian. Her face was filled with the concern of a wife for her husband.
At this moment, they seemed to be just an ordinary couple, caring for each other, and the whole room was filled with warmth.
"Qing'er, you are the first woman I really like. As the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, if I can't protect my own woman, how can I protect this country and make the Zhou Dynasty prosperous?"
Concubine Yun Guifei was even more moved by Bai Yutian's words. Her face was filled with a smile and her head lay on Bai Yutian's body.
"But I seemed to have seen that Concubine Yun Gui was injured before. Let me check her quickly."
"What kind of injury? I'm not injured at all." Concubine Yun Guifei said in a daze.
Although the assassin came for her, Bai Yutian arrived in time and did not cause any harm to her.
"Hehe, no way, I clearly saw it just now." Bai Yutian's mouth curved slightly, and he smiled evilly towards Concubine Yun.
Now, Concubine Yun Gui also knew what Bai Yutian was thinking, and knew that Bai Yutian had no good intentions, so she pretended to be angry and said: "Your Majesty, don't do it. If you do this, I will get angry."
However, Concubine Yun's words did not stop Bai Yutian from moving at all, but instead aroused his desire.
The next day, when he went to court, all the officials stood quietly on both sides with serious expressions.
Everyone knows that there was an assassination in the palace last night, Concubine Yun of Taiji Hall was almost killed, and even Bai Yutian was injured.
In a short period of time, the palace was assassinated twice in succession. It is difficult to imagine how angry Bai Yutian would be.
After today, I'm afraid many people will be implicated, and there will inevitably be rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.
Bai Yutian was sitting on the dragon chair with his eyes downcast as he scanned the ministers below.
Everyone lowered their heads, waiting for Bai Yutian to speak. If Bai Yutian didn't speak, they didn't dare to speak either.
The situation in the court changed too quickly. Previously, Gu Taizhong had the absolute advantage and had power over the whole government. Even Bai Yutian could not do anything about it.
However, since the last time Bai Yutian's staff blamed Gu Taizhong, Bai Yutian's power has gradually expanded, and he has almost always had the upper hand in the fight with the Gu family. He has inserted many of his own people into each class.
"Gu Aiqing." Suddenly, Bai Yutian spoke and looked at Gu Taizhong.
Gu Taizhong heard Bai Yutian calling him and stood up, "I'm here."
"One of the people who assassinated Concubine Yun was Xiaolian, and it was Concubine Yun who was framed by Xiaolian. What do you think?" Bai Yutian asked.
Gu Taizhong slightly cupped his hands and said: "Xiao Lian is an old friend of the minister. Before his death, in order to make a living for her, he sent her to the Gu Mansion to be a personal maid for my little girl. However, he did not want this person to be ambitious. Not only did he want to
He framed Concubine Yun and also colluded with other forces to assassinate Concubine Yun, which is really treason."
"I request my order. After the matter is investigated clearly, I will personally lead people to destroy this force."
"In addition, after all, this matter is due to my ignorance. I am also responsible and willing to let your Majesty punish me." Gu Taizhong raised his head, with a loyal look on his face, which looked extremely sincere.
Bai Yutian sneered in his heart. Although Gu Taizhong was headstrong, arrogant and frivolous, he was still a bit of a city man, and he was very courageous. At this moment, retreating in order to advance made it difficult for Bai Yutian to make a move.
