239 Assassination

Before Yan Dongnan arrived at the palace, he was assassinated on the road, and the news reached the ears of the saint, and he slapped the table angrily: "What a bold man, in broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he actually dared to commit murder in the street, it is really good." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Hurry up and call Jingzhao Mansion Yin to me, go quickly!" "It seems that his guess is correct, Yan Dongnan must know something, otherwise those people will not jump over the wall to kill him."

It's really hateful, the saint didn't expect them to be so bold, otherwise he would have sent guards to secretly bring Yan Dongnan into the palace. The third prince has been recuperating well in the past few days, but he still has a little cough, "Erchen participates in the emperor, long live." The saint strode over and gently helped the third prince to get up: "Come, let my father take a good look, these days have made you suffer." ”

"Father, don't say that, it's all useless and attacked by people. So far, the murderer has not been found out, and he has asked his father to punish him. As he spoke, he was about to kneel, but was stopped by the saint: "Rui'er, what are you talking nonsense! What does this have to do with you, they are too rampant to take me seriously." The Son of Heaven dares to mess around, I must find out the murderer behind the scenes! Come, sit down, and talk to me. ”

The news of the Holy Lord's summoning of the Third Prince soon reached the ears of Concubine Xiao and Concubine Tian, and Concubine Xiao naturally opened her mouth happily, not expecting that the Holy Lord would wake up a few days after the queen's death. The first person to meet was actually the third prince, and it seems that in his mind, the status of the three princes can be imagined. The second prince wants to fight with him, which is simply a fool's dream. Concubine Tian angrily made the palace maids angry, the third prince was so ruthless, and blamed the second prince.

The saint suddenly changed his words: "Rui'er, who do you think will do it behind your back?" The third prince naturally did not say anything about the second prince, but smiled wryly: "Back to my father, the sons and daughters can't guess for a while." "Yes, you don't doubt your second imperial brother?" The saint didn't seem to want the third prince to easily avoid this question, and the third prince raised his head: "Father, the son believes that the second imperial brother will definitely not be him." We are brothers, and he will not do this, but the ministers feel that the envoys of the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom may be sowing discord between the sons and the second emperor brothers. ”

didn't expect the third prince to have this indirect, which was indeed beyond his expectations. Out of the Shengshang's bedroom, the palace maid of Concubine Xiao's bedroom was waiting for him. But the third prince shook his head quietly, signaling that it was not good to go to her bedroom for the time being. Concubine Xiao thought about it, and yes, at this juncture, their mother and son must be careful in everything. The third prince wished that he could sue the second prince in front of the saint, but before leaving, Duguting told him not to lead it to the second prince.

The Holy Lord didn't want to hear this answer, and it also involved the envoys of the Northern Frontier State. Of course, the Holy One has his own judgment and will not act arbitrarily without evidence. Duguting is right, it seems that she is really a good helper. I want to thank her when I look back, she is worthy of being a famous lady from the General's Mansion. In the evening, the second prince quietly came to Concubine Tian's bedroom, and the mother and son secretly discussed countermeasures.

The Holy Lord woke up and summoned the third prince, but did not give any instructions to the second prince. "Bo'er, your father must be suspecting you of poisoning the third prince behind his back, and you will go to your father tomorrow to show your intentions, and it has nothing to do with you. "Otherwise, it will affect the saint's choice of the throne, and the second prince did not agree. "Bo'er, mother, this is for your own good, the most important thing at the moment is the throne. Concubine Xiao's mother and son are really powerful, using this trick to deal with you. The mother concubine sent someone to inquire, he was simply in the heart of the poisonous lotus seed of the Northern Qi Kingdom, if your father suspected you of colluding with the Northern Qi Kingdom, it would not be good. Listen to the words of the mother, you must go to your father tomorrow to make it clear!"

patted the back of the second prince's hand uneasily, "Mother, don't worry, the son knows it." The hour is not early, and you should rest early, and it is inconvenient for the sons and daughters to stay for a long time, so they will leave. The second prince then turned around and left, Concubine Tian angrily slammed the table, Concubine Xiao's mother and son were too hateful and deceived too much. Yan Dongnan was assassinated on the street like this, Yan Yunchun didn't recover for a while, and the people of the Li family and the Yan Mansion had already left.

Yan Yunchun hurriedly asked the housekeeper to go to the yamen to find out if Yan Dongnan's body could be handed over to them, so that he could be buried in the ground and not thrown into a mass grave. After the third prince returned home, he hurriedly went to Duguting's prince and saw her sitting in front of the bronze mirror to make up. Involuntarily walked over, took out a delicate jade hairpin from the box and inserted it for her, and it was really brilliant. "Thank you, Third Prince. ”

Duguting leaned over affectionately and thanked her, and was quickly helped up by the third prince: "Concubine Ai doesn't need to be polite to this palace, speaking of which, this palace also has to thank Concubine Ai." Come, sit down, and speak slowly. After Yan Yunzhu learned the news of Yan Dongnan's assassination from the maid's mouth, he sat still and waited for the third prince to return home. Asking for his consent to leave the house, no one expected that the third prince would go to Duguting's courtyard for a long time, and she really couldn't wait.

"Girl, Dugu Gongzi is waiting for you at the back door!" Dugu Gongzi, saying his name from the maid's mouth, why did Yan Yunzhu annoy him so much. This Dugu often waits for her at the back door all day, Yan Yunzhu has nothing to do with him, why should he be entangled with her. Dugu is Duguting's brother for a day, which will inevitably make her think more about whether all this is arranged by Duguting behind her back to ruin her reputation.

"Concubine Niangniang, what should we do?" the maid stared at Yan Yunzhu anxiously, everything was waiting for her to order. Yan Yunzhu gritted his teeth: "Let's go!" It doesn't hurt to go to the back door to take a look, I didn't expect that Dugu would have a way to let her out of the house one day, and promised to take her to see Yan Dongnan. Yan Yunzhu had no choice, he could only trust him once. Dugu swore a promise one day: "Miss Yan Qi, no, the side concubine Niangniang, the villain promises not to lie to you, and there is a maid as proof." There was no other way, so I left with Dugu for a day.

As soon as Yan Yunzhu left, he was told by his grandmother that Duguting in the house, hooked his lips and smiled, Yan Yunzhu, it seems that you still can't get out of my palm. The saint's complexion is very good, unlike a comatose patient who has just woken up, the imperial doctor wants to take the pulse of the saint, but he refuses. Isn't his body clear yet, and he needs a group of quacks to diagnose and treat him, so he doesn't have to waste time. No one knew what the saint's condition was, and no one dared to mention it, for fear of angering Long Yan.

After hearing the news of Yan Dongnan's death, the saint ordered his body to be escorted back to his hometown in Donglin County for burial on the second day, and strived to hand it over to the Li family as soon as possible. Yan Yunchun only saw Yan Dongnan, but there was no way to get him out of prison. Besides, the saint has issued a holy decree, and she can only dispel the idea of taking Yan southeast back to the house. After thinking about it, I handed it over to the Li family for her to dispose of, and by the way, I brought her a letter to the Li family.

The most painful person at the moment should be none other than the Li family, whose mother-in-law committed suicide, and Yan Dongnan's unknown death was assassinated. The saint didn't even give an explanation, even if he made a big mistake, there was a court to punish him, and the queen of the autumn asked to end his life. Yan Yunchun is a female streamer, and now she is pregnant, so she can only swallow her anger and go back. For the assassination of Yan Dongnan, the saint will definitely not let it go. Committing murder in broad daylight at the feet of the Son of Heaven is simply a king's law, and there is no king in his eyes.

At the same time, the saint asked Dali Siqing and Jingzhao Mansion Yin to investigate separately, and also sent secret guards, but he still didn't believe it, and he couldn't find out a single thing. Hearing that Yan Yunnuan was not in the capital, he probably guessed that she should go to Pingyang Hou. After all, I was entrusted by him, and I really didn't see the wrong person. The next step is to continue to investigate the second prince and the third prince to see who can inherit the throne and assume the responsibility for the future of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom.

The grandmother who had served the queen before also disappeared, arousing the suspicion of the saint, and secretly sent someone to inquire about her whereabouts, hoping that there would be any useful news in her mouth. How could the queen go when he was still unconscious, even if the queen wanted to exchange her life for him to be awake, she would not be so anxious. There must be someone who can't wait to deal with the queen, or the queen knows what secret they have to tell, just like Yan Dongnan, they will be killed in advance.

Thinking about it in this way, the saint will not be able to sleep and eat, and if these things cannot be solved, he will not be able to feel at ease. The envoy of the Northern Frontier Kingdom actually wanted to marry Mo Linyan for Yi Gongzi, and the King of Dongyang originally mentioned to him that he wanted Zhou Mingxue to marry the Northern Frontier Kingdom. For the saint, it doesn't matter who marries him, it's not his daughter anyway. As long as it can be conducive to the harmonious coexistence of the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom and the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Mingxue, as the concubine of the King of Dongyang, is very consistent.

The saint also had this plan, and suddenly the envoy of the Northern Frontier State asked to marry Mo Linyan, and he really couldn't make a decision for a while. I'm afraid I still need to ask the eldest princess before I can answer, after all, Mo Linyan is the eldest daughter of the eldest princess and the Duke of Mingguo, and she has been stupid and stupid before, and her family affairs have been delayed over the years, but I didn't expect that now that she is recovering, she will marry far away from the Northern Frontier Kingdom. The saint personally came to the Mingguo Mansion to discuss the matter with the eldest princess, and the eldest princess in ink-colored clothes was sitting in a precarious position, and after listening to the words of the saint, her face was not shocked, and there was no reaction.

couldn't help but make the saint speak again: "Sister Huang, Yan'er is not small, and her family affairs should also be considered." I don't know what the imperial sister thinks of this family business?" After speaking, in order to hide the embarrassment, the saint picked up the tea on the table and tasted it slowly. The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief: "Holy Lord, I actually won't tell you that since Yan'er, this girl, has been sobering up, and I can't do her business." It was a great gift to me that she could be like a normal girl. I never expected her to marry one day!"

The eldest princess was playing Tai Chi with the saint, and she neither agreed but did not object. The door was suddenly pushed open by Mo Linyan, and Gonggong Lin lowered his head: "Holy Lord, the slave can't stop the county master, the slave deserves to die, and please forgive the Holy Lord." Quickly kneeling on the ground, Mo Linyan stepped forward seriously: "Yan'er has seen the saint, long live." It was Yan'er who trespassed in, and it had nothing to do with Gonggong Lin, and she asked the saint to investigate. ”

I didn't expect her to be able to intercede for Gonggong Lin, and Sheng Shang chuckled: "Yan'er, raise your head and let your uncle take a good look at you." "The title is uncle, not the high-ranking me, Mo Linyan calmly faced the sage's scrutiny. "Good boy, worthy of being the eldest daughter of Ming Guogong, with the demeanor of Ming Guogong back then, come, this is a gift from your uncle to you, your uncle owes you a lot over the years, come, accept it." ”

happily took off the jade pendant he was wearing from under his sleeve and handed it to Mo Linyan, "Thank you, uncle." Mo Linyan's uncle made the saint laugh even more happily, and Gonggong Lin received the look of the saint, and consciously got up and closed the door and left. "Yan'er, you came just in time, my uncle came to the house today, just for you. "The eldest princess has been shirking just now, and now that Mo Linyan is here, how can she refuse?

The saint stared at Mo Linyan, but he didn't expect the envoy of the Northern Frontier Kingdom to be so fast. Raising her head with a smile: "Uncle, Yan'er is all up to your uncle, I don't think you will harm Yan'er." This well-behaved appearance surprised the saint, the eldest princess and the second princess had never trusted her so much. Mo Linyan in front of him was beyond his expectations, and it seemed that he really underestimated her.

"Okay, Yan'er, since that's the case, then your family affairs, uncle will set it for you, you can rest assured. You are the eldest daughter of the imperial sister and the Duke of Ming Guo, and the niece of your uncle, you will definitely let you marry beautifully. If the Northern Frontier Kingdom dares to bully you, the Eastern Zhou Kingdom and I will definitely not give up!" Mo Linyan lowered her head thoughtfully, and the eldest princess had a lot of anger in her chest, and when the Holy Lord left, she wanted to sprinkle it on Mo Linyan's body.

"Don't speak, I know what you're trying to say, it's late. Besides, it's not a bad thing for you that I'm leaving the capital. Anyway, I've never been the daughter you expected, and it's just right to leave. "You stop for this palace, bastard thing!" the eldest princess opened her mouth to call out to Mo Linyan, who turned to leave, but she left without looking back. As soon as he returned to the palace and rested for a while, a secret guard came in to report that the person who assassinated Yan Dongnan might have been found.

Sheng Shang waved his hand: "I know, give these evidences to Dali Siqing and Jingzhao Mansion Yin respectively, I want to see what they will do?" After the secret guard left, Sheng Shang got up and pushed open the window, looking out the window at the vibrant flowers and trees in the imperial garden, no one admired with him anymore. There have been so many things that have happened recently, and the Holy Lord needs to calm down and think slowly to see if there are other clues that he has missed.

Coughing lightly, the handkerchief taken out of his sleeve was already stained with blood, and he couldn't bear to look at it. Immediately, he was stuffed into the sleeves of his shirt by the saint, and no one could know about his condition, not even Gonggong Lin! The figure of the second princess slowly approached, and she waved her hand happily on the pilgrimage: "Father, the son has seen his father." ”

Concubine Xiao had been trying her best to promote the second princess and Mo Linzi's relationship before, but since he woke up, she hadn't come to urge the saint to set the specific wedding date. It seems that there has been a change in it, "Father, can the son go in and talk to you?" The second princess's coquettish appearance made the saint unable to refuse, and after getting the saint's approval, the second princess came in from the main gate with a smile.

After Yi Gongzi got the report from the guards, he hooked his lips and smiled lightly, it seemed that Mo Linyan really did not disappoint her. Qingqing, a child, likes Yan Yunnuan and her very much, especially now that Yan Yunnuan is not in the capital, it is good to have Mo Linyan with him. He has long wanted to mention this family business, and what he has wanted in his heart over the years will soon be realized, how can he not be excited. Qingqing also felt his father's joy tonight, and raised his head: "Father, when are we going back?"

"What, don't you want to wait until Miss Yan returns to the capital before you leave?" Yi Gongzi quietly hooked his lips and asked rhetorically, Qingqing stuck out his tongue and smiled: "Father, don't you know my thoughts?
