Chapter 294: Clue
Chu Yunsheng's words fell, and these few Heavenly Killing elites who chased out immediately restrained the murderous aura on their bodies, and their sword moves also left room for them, and they followed the few people who escaped.
At this time, Chu Yunsheng walked in front of He Yueying, and said with some concern: "Her Royal Highness the princess is okay?"
He Yueying should have never seen such a scene, for a while she saw the blood splashed in the room and the corpses that had fallen to the ground, she was shivering all over, and when she heard Chu Yunsheng's voice, she came back to her senses, and this time after coming to her senses, her first reaction was to pounce on the servant girl who had fallen in a pool of blood and was lifeless.
"Dongmei!"
Obviously, the maid was no longer angry, but He Yueying still refused to give up, she threw herself on top of her, shook her body vigorously and shouted at her hoarsely, as if this would wake her up.
As she shouted, tears had already slid down her cheeks and dripped directly onto the already cold corpse.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng was also a little unbearable, she stepped forward and said in a low voice: "She is no longer angry, and I ask Her Royal Highness the princess to mourn." β
Hearing this, He Yueying stopped the continuous shaking of her hand, and at this time, the other maidservant who had used her body to block the sword for her couldn't hold on any longer, and fell directly to the ground with a clatter.
Hearing this, He Yueying and Chu Yunsheng hurriedly turned their heads, and saw her fainting with a pale face.
Chu Yunsheng hurriedly stepped forward, checking her wounds while checking her pulse, and He Yueying didn't have the slightest bit of her usual dexterity at this time, she kept shaking the handmaid's hand, and said with a crying voice: "Dongzhu! Dongzhu!"
However, this servant girl didn't react at all, seeing this, He Yueying's brows were tightly locked, and she looked at Chu Yunsheng with tears in her eyes and said, "Please be in charge of the matter, you must save her, you must save her, she can't be fine!"
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng nodded, and then turned to look at Su Yundao, who had lowered his head and was looking for hemostatic medicine: "Come, let's help her to the bed first." β
Saying that, Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun and He Yueying worked together to lift Dongzhu to the bed, and then Chu Yunsheng cooperated with Su Yun to stimulate the acupuncture points with silver needles for her and apply gold sore medicine to her wounds, and when she gradually regained a little consciousness, Chu Yunsheng took out the Heart Protection Pill he carried with him and gave it to her.
Seeing her consciousness gradually wake up, He Yueying on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and then, she hurriedly said to Chu Yunsheng: "Thank you very much, if you hadn't caught up in time just now, I'm afraid that now Dongzhu and I have become dead souls under the knife." β
As she spoke, He Yueying squatted down beside Dong Zhu's bed, she looked at Dong Zhu who was lying on the bed with concern and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, you can take care of your injuries." β
Hearing He Yueying's words, Dong Zhu nodded, and then gradually fell asleep.
However, this time her pulse has stabilized, and the Heart Protection Pill that Chu Yunsheng gave her has the effect of sleeping well, so there is no major problem.
Seeing He Yueying's worried look, Chu Yunsheng hurriedly explained: "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't worry, she is not seriously injured, she just needs to recuperate." β
Hearing this, He Yueying nodded hurriedly, there were still teardrops on her cheeks, at this point, the two strings of teardrops dripped down directly and fell on the edge of the bed, she felt that she was a little out of shape at this time, so she quickly stood up and lowered her eyes to Chu Yunsheng and said: "I just let you laugh, I can't hide it, the two of them are free to grow up with me, and they have been there in the palace of King Zhao for so many years, so I also regard them as sisters, which is why I am so worried." β
Speaking of this, He Yueying subconsciously turned her head and looked at Dongmei's corpse still lying on the ground, her tears appeared in her eyes again, and then her tone was a little choked: "I hurt them, if it weren't for me......"
He Yueying couldn't say anything more, she directly raised her hand to hide her face and began to cry.
Chu Yunsheng was standing beside her, and she could clearly feel her grief at this time, her feelings for these two maidservants really couldn't be faked, seeing this, she couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart, and then said softly and comfortingly: "Your Royal Highness the princess, please mourn, the Si people have passed away." β
Hearing this, He Yueying cried even more sadly.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng only felt that she couldn't speak, it was originally a comforting word, but it could make people even more sad when she said it, she was thinking about the wording, how to persuade her, at this time, she heard the window move, and then several black shadows swept in from outside, it was the elite of the heavenly killing who had just chased out.
They approached the bedside, saluted Chu Yunsheng, and said, "Those assassins committed suicide by poisoning themselves when they saw that they were cornered, and they didn't leave a living mouth. β
This was also expected by Chu Yunsheng, she nodded, and the elites of these heavenly killings began to clean up the corpses that had fallen in the room.
Su Yun walked up to Chu Yunsheng and said, "Their target is the princess?" However, there should be very few people who know that Her Royal Highness the princess is here, and although this Sanyuan Town is the border between the Wei Kingdom and the Chu State, after all, it is located on the border and is very remote, who would have thought that the princess is here, and then kill the killer?"
This is exactly what Chu Yunsheng is puzzled about.
At first, when she saw these people, she didn't know their purpose, and only speculated from their actions that they were looking for someone, and that they would get rid of them as soon as they found them, and even used the entire inn as a burial companion.
The arson and the fleeing travelers from before this are the best illustration of this.
However, when she finally came here, she saw that they were unrelenting and wanted to kill He Yueying, so she was sure that the purpose of these people was not her, but He Yueying, but who did Princess Zhao, who grew up in the deep palace and never had a grudge against anyone, offend anyone and want to be killed because of this?
Even if it is a grudge, then she has a holiday with Tang Xuexu at most, and she refuses to let go of Tang Xuexu, and Tang Xuexu is now in the period of protecting the fetus, after the fire in the Luohe Tomb of Zhao Guo because of the Qin family's army escaped, Tang Xuexu must be busy rushing back to the palace of Zhao Guo to raise the fetus, not to mention whether she has that mind at this time, at least most of her energy will not be put into things other than the fetus in her womb, not to mention, now He Yueying is about to marry away to defend the country, and it is for the grand hegemony of her favorite San Lang, she has no reason to cause trouble at this junctureγ
So, who will it be?
At this time, not only Chu Yunsheng had this doubt in his heart, but even He Yueying, who had already recovered from his panic and grief, couldn't figure it out.
She sat down on the edge of Dongzhu's bed, raised her eyes to look at Chu Yunsheng and said, "Who does the boss think it will be? Who is most likely to poison this palace?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said helplessly: "Please forgive me, princess, according to the information I have so far, I can't be sure who it is." β
He Yueying sighed, then stared at Chu Yunsheng and said: "This time, Zhao Guo Wei Guo married, and the one who benefited the most was Zhao Guo, and Wei Guo had Zhao Guo as a backer, so he was naturally happy to see it, so the murderer should not be from Zhao Wei, so looking at today, the only one who wants to see Zhao Wei form an alliance is Chu State." β
Theoretically speaking, this is indeed the case, and the state of Chu is the most justified to kill this vital princess at this time.
However, Chu Yunsheng naturally knew that it was impossible, if Su Jingxuan wanted to kill He Yueying, it would be easy, and it was impossible not to mention it to her, and this was not Su Jingxuan's style.
Seeing He Yueying's inquiring eyes, Chu Yunsheng shook his head directly and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess more or less knows the connection between the Heavenly Killing and the Chu State, so, Princess, you think, if it is really the Chu State that wants to put you to death, then why did I make a move just now? Moreover, if the Chu State really wants to kill you, with these guards and handmaidens by your side, I can handle it with a few elite people of the Heavenly Kill, so why bother to make such a scene of fake good people in one fell swoop many times?"
And this is exactly what He Yueying doubted in her heart, she was not stupid, when she first saw the assassins, her first reaction was that these assassins were sent by the Chu State, and they wanted to kill her and prevent Zhao Wei's marriage, but when she saw the full protection of these people who could represent the forces of the Chu State, she was confused again, and as Chu Yunsheng said, she felt impossible, so she directly raised this doubt, and the purpose was also to let Chu Yunsheng give her an explanation.
"Then look at it, who is most likely to attack?" He Yueying shrugged helplessly, then leaned against the head of the bed, looking at Chu Yunsheng with a bit of tiredness in her eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng shook his head, and then said: "The clues are all broken, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to give us a little time, let us verify, after all, although from the overall situation, the biggest possibility in the world that Zhao Wei does not want to marry is Chu State, but I know that there are people in Zhao Guowei who have bad intentions and want to make obstacles from it for their own selfish interests, and this scope is too wide, so it is difficult to make a conclusion for a while." β
Chu Yunsheng's words fell, and He Yueying also nodded, she also felt that Chu Yunsheng was polite.
Seeing that she gradually believed her words, Chu Yunsheng said: "After tossing this night, Her Royal Highness the princess is also tired, let's rest first, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow, I will send more people outside to protect the princess, so you can rest assured, as for here, I will also guard it, you can rest assured." β
Hearing this, He Yueying nodded gratefully, but she didn't plan to leave, she said: "I'm a little sleepy, but I'm here to accompany Dongzhu, I haven't seen her wake up, I'm always worried." β
Seeing her like this, Chu Yunsheng couldn't persuade her again.
At this time, the elites of Heaven Killing had already cleaned the entire room, moved out the corpses of those assassins and cleaned the blood stains in the room, leaving only Dongmei's corpse there, they looked at Chu Yunsheng, waiting for Chu Yunsheng to speak.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes and looked at He Yueying and said, "Let them bury her properly." β
Hearing this, He Yueying's eyes were filled with tears again, she nodded, and then choked up: "I brought her out, but now I can't bring her back to my homeland...... I will definitely avenge this revenge for you...... Dongmei ......"
Seeing that she was crying more and more sadly as she looked at Dongmei's corpse, Chu Yunsheng raised his hand and made a movement, signaling the elite of the Heavenly Killer to take Dongmei down.
At this time, Eryuan walked in from the outside, and as soon as he saw Chu Yunsheng, he was about to greet him but saw that He Yueying was still beside the bed, so he only said, "Son, the outside has been properly settled." β
Chu Yunsheng nodded, and then said, "What clues are there?"
Hearing this, Eryuan shook his head and said: "There are no clues left on these people, and there are no living mouths, so it is difficult to determine, but ......"
Speaking of this, Eryuan turned his eyes and glanced at He Yueying, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, as if there was something unspeakable.
Seeing this, He Yueying immediately came to her senses, and she also sensed that there must be a very important clue in the binary words, but this clue was not easy to say in front of her, however, where was she willing to let go of this, she quickly stood up, looked at the binary and said: "But what? Is there anything you can't tell me? Don't worry, I will never say it, and this time their target is me, and I and the person behind the curtain will definitely not give up." β
Hearing this, Eryuan didn't speak, but turned his puzzled eyes to Chu Yunsheng, and seeing that Chu Yunsheng nodded and acquiesced, Eryuan said: "But when we were searching for clues in various rooms of the inn before, we met a traveler who escaped from their sword by luck and said that a black-clothed assassin had asked him what other rooms in this inn were available...... And he is from Yan Kingdom, so the accent of that person is from his hometown Yan County. β
Yan Guo ......
Hearing these two words, Chu Yunsheng and He Yueying were both stunned.
The Yan Kingdom that they didn't expect was really Tang Xuexu?
However, this thought only came to the minds of the two of them, and they dispelled it at the same time, Tang Xuexu has now put He Rong first in everything, so he will definitely not do anything that will damage He Rong's plan at this time.
So, who else could it be?
Chu Yunsheng of Yan Kingdom is not familiar with it, and the only thing he knows the most before is Yu Shenyuan, the minister of power, and knows that he controls the entire Yan Kingdom, but after the Liao Kingdom, Yu Shenyuan was killed by the King of Yan and the Queen of Liao, and she is not clear about other things in the Yan Kingdom.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng and He Yueying's frowning at the same time, he analyzed binarily: "It's just a clue provided by that traveler, but it can't explain too much, after all, if someone sent an assassin to come, maybe he would have expected that the matter would be revealed early in the morning, so it is not impossible to deliberately use the assassins of Yan Kingdom and frame this matter to Yan Kingdom." β
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng nodded, then looked at He Yueying and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, can you think about it again, who have had any grudges with whom?"
