Chapter 914: Jiangdong
Seeing the emperor nodding, the palace maid who served the queen mother came forward and knelt down and told the emperor what was known.
The emperor listened and pondered.
There was a dead silence in the hall.
"Are you saying that the assassin was so ruthless that he not only killed the county lord, but also killed all the people who served in the room?" the emperor asked the palace maid who was replying with a frown.
The palace maid replied in a voice that had just cried and her voice was still trembling, "That's right, if you want to call someone over there to ask about the situation, there is no one to call." The Queen Mother wept over this. Several times I wanted to go to see the county lord, but we stopped them. Just waiting for the emperor to come up and ask what it means. The Queen Mother is very old, and when she sees the body of the county lord at first glance, I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it. After all, after all, the murderer is cruel, and the body of the county lord is ......" This palace maid has been a little unable to say anymore when she talks about this.
The emperor already understood what she meant, and nodded, "You guys did a good job." I'll go and persuade the Queen Mother, and I'll see you after the county lord has cleaned up. After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh. Although he didn't like Qu Shu very much, he also knew that it was the only blood left by his youngest sister. This matter is already strange. This is in the palace of deep confinement. If he broke in at this moment, it would be impossible for his big internal masters, and he wouldn't be able to smell the wind at all. Besides, how could their target be a little girl who had no quarrel with the world.
The queen also seemed to sense that the emperor had doubts about something, and answered, "Did you kill everyone?" In this way, this person must be an acquaintance of the county lord. No matter how much he hated the county lord, it was impossible to see everyone around him clearly, and the only purpose of killing them with such effort was to cover their mouths. "Maybe it's more meaningful, but not necessarily. The eldest princess, who was sitting on the other side, said quietly.
The queen seemed to suddenly remember that the eldest princess was sitting in front of her, and looked at the eldest princess fixedly and asked, "I forgot, I just heard from the people below that the imperial sister has been staying in Zhongning Palace since the morning." The Zuo Pavilion where Qu Shu lives is not far from here, the murderer has killed so many people, and the queen mother is old and her hearing is a little weaker, but hasn't the eldest sister heard the slightest sound?"
The eldest princess looked at her hands that had been cleaned and no longer had the slightest trace of blood, and calmly met the queen's gaze, "Even if it is quiet in the middle of the night and I hear some sounds, I will not rashly think of those fierce and tragic things." It's not like some people who think about those things all day long. Otherwise, any sound heard in this harem will first come to mind as a sound of joy! After all, my imperial brother has ruled thousands of miles of peace and security. Even the people are used to it, reuniting with their families and living and working in peace and contentment. ”
The emperor has long been accustomed to the habit of the two of them scolding Huai when they get together. In the past, I tried to ignore it as much as possible. Today, it's a different color. The queen, who had the heart to refute the eldest princess again, had no choice but to swallow the reply he had already prepared.
The prince stood under the shadow of the lamp, and heard the footsteps behind him, which were very panicked at first, and had no intention of turning back, but waited for the footsteps to go, gradually stabilizing, and then said quietly, "Have you sent the county lord away?"
The person who was also hidden under the shadow of the lamp, and the edges and corners of his face were all submerged in the night, trembled slightly, "It's smooth." When he stuck the knife in the county lord's body, Xinli Khan had just jumped into the courtyard, and he entered the house one step later than the eldest princess, and the scene he saw must have been the eldest princess shaking the county lord Qushu with blood on her hands, and it would definitely make him see it and misunderstand that the eldest princess had died by mistake. When this person said this, the cold smile that was still blooming on Qu Shu's face when he was stabbed by the knife came to her mind again, and she just asked in a trembling voice, "Who is it? Who sent you to do these things? I don't blame you, I'm just curious about this question." ”
Her hand took hold of him. Tight. The bones and flesh all held him tightly.
He could feel the sharp loss of temperature on it, and the questions in her eyes seemed to enter his mind so smoothly, and he subconsciously replied, "Everything is what the prince meant, don't blame the county lord." "Prince, it turned out to be the prince, this story is ridiculous, isn't it, I believe him so much! Forget it, how much time do you think I have left?" A tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
"It won't be long!"
And when he made up all his mind to see her condition again, he found that she was turning her head to look at the potted plant on one side, a tall unknown flower, and in the pot the base of the flower was covered with stones as a backdrop.
Her voice was already panting, "I like that stone very much." And purple strips of cloth, hand, hand me ......"
His heart was pierced by her pleading eyes, and he wanted to leave, but in the end, he really took out a stone from the flower pot and put it on the palm of Qu Shu's outstretched hand. Then he got up suddenly, and when he tried to jump out of the window, his steps became unstrained, and he almost fell.
He came back to his senses after being called by the prince for the second time, knowing that his distraction had been noticed by the prince just now, so he quickly bowed his head, but the prince changed his attitude and was very good-tempered and did not delve into it, but said, "On the way back, where did you start, and you were targeted by those masters of the inner world." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the prince to discover the huge secret he had just hidden during the return mission so quickly. He had indeed been locked in by those Ouchi masters, but fortunately, he was more familiar with the road in this area, so he got rid of them.
"It's at the intersection of Red Lion Street, but the subordinates have managed to get rid of them. It was just now, and he did not return to His Royal Highness the Prince. He replied with some trepidation.
"Well, they're going to figure out where you're going eventually, but it will take time. The prince analyzed in a cold voice, and was shocked that cold sweat broke out on this person's head instantly.
The next glance saw the prince's big smile, "However, it doesn't matter, we just need to look away from them." And it's not that hard. ”
This man looked at the prince with a vague expression on his face when he was backlit with some confusion. He always felt that the prince revealed a dark temperament from top to bottom, but the voice in his ears was clear and open-minded.
"If it's at the intersection of Red Lion Street, the people they can suspect are me, the Nine Emperor Princes and the two princes. But both of them have been ill for a long time, and they have long been uninterested in politics......"
This time, without the prince finishing speaking, this person has already completely understood what he meant, "Your Highness wants to move Jiangdong?" The crown prince and the Nine Emperor Princes have always been discordant, and they have been tilting each other against each other, and they have long been accustomed to the situation of stepping on each other to death. What's more, this time there is such a chance to go along the way.
The prince smiled and nodded, "Exactly." But seeing that you're tired, I'd better go somebody else!" the prince raised his arm and made a gesture of wanting to call outside.
"The bell must be tied to the bell, and once the subordinate figures and the big internal masters enter the eyes, they will never forget it!" the man hurriedly persuaded.
The prince nodded, "Sure enough, he is a person who can be relied on, go and come back quickly, I still have something important for you when I come back!"
