Chapter 63: Another Assassin
Shang Mo raised his chin and motioned for the guards to take Guan Er out.
Shu Kui lay down, staring blankly at the ceiling, scenes of the past came to mind, thinking that Wan Er liked the gold pendant she got for her so much, thinking that the two of them ran out of the palace together, evading the pursuit of Yun Xue's guards together, and thinking that not long ago, she ran with a pillow and said that she couldn't sleep in a new place.
Shu Kui always thought that Guan Er was a simple girl with no scheming, and they were good sisters who were born and died together, but he didn't expect that this qiΔ was all fake and deceitful, and he was completely fooled.
She really hoped that what happened today was just a dream, and that tomorrow, Wan'er would walk into the room with a loud bang and open the curtains as before.
To Shu Kui's great surprise, the next morning, Guan Er really came.
"...... you" Shu Kui had a lot of questions, and he didn't know where to start for a while.
"Get up, breakfast is ready." Wan Er took the toiletry utensils, and when he spoke, there was no change.
Shu Kui wanted to say, "Why are you here", but halfway through the conversation, Gardenia Jin who came in interrupted.
"Sister Guan'er, I'll go get medicine for His Highness in a while, okay?" She looked inquiring, but it was a commanding tone.
Wan'er nodded.
"You guys are ......" Shu Kui couldn't figure out the current situation a little.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty ordered, in the future, I will take care of Your Highness with Sister Wan'er." Gardenia Jin bowed slightly, "The medical officer has prescribed medicine for you, which can relieve your pain and speed up the healing of the fracture, so as to ensure that the wedding will be held as scheduled." β
"We'll all have to listen to her." Wan Er added in a low voice.
Shu Kui also nodded, and he understood - this is Shang Mo's person, called care, but it is actually surveillance.
Gardenia didn't say anything more, and after saluting Shu Kui, he left.
Shu Kui washed his face and brushed his teeth with the help of Guan Er, and the two of them were silent, and the atmosphere in the room seemed a little awkward.
"I originally wanted to stay in Jinzhai, but Rong Shu refused to accept me." After washing up, Wan Er opened his mouth first, "Later, Mrs. Yun somehow found me and gave me a lot of benefits, and I have been working for her. β
"You're too immoral in this job." Shu Kui said sullenly.
"Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others." Wan'er is a matter of course.
"And how much did she give you to come back?" Shu Kui didn't like the current Guan'er very much, "Why didn't Shang Mo lock you up?" β
"I changed jobs and worked for His Majesty." Wan Er said lightly.
Shu Kui was stunned: "Job-hopping? β
"Whoever pays the higher price, I will die for whomever I want." Wan'er made no secret of his mercenary intentions.
Shu Kui was speechless for a moment, and secretly sighed that she was too good at disguise before.
At this time, the medical officer came to do the examination, and the conversation between the two ended there.
In the next few days, Shu Kui recuperated according to the doctor's instructions, and took medicine on time, and soon recovered most of the time.
And Wan'er, unlike the original Twitter, has become quite silent, and Gardenia doesn't talk much, which makes the atmosphere around Shu Kui a little depressed.
Finally, when the doctor said that he could get out of bed and walk around, Shu Kui couldn't wait and hurried to the garden, even if he sat still, it was better than suffocating in the room.
After another two or three days, Gardenia Jin saw that Shu Kui had recovered, so he conveyed Shang Mo's words, saying that as a quasi-queen, she would go to Muguang Courtyard to show her face.
Shu Kui knew that it was useless to resist, so he had to be at the mercy.
Fortunately, Muguangyuan is an orphanage, and the children are very happy to see Shu Kui, and Shu Kui plays with them all morning, and their mood is much better.
After lunch, I was about to go back to the palace when a child's scream suddenly came from the courtyard.
Shu Kui felt that something was wrong when he heard the voice, so he hurried to check.
I saw a three- or four-year-old boy hanging from a tree, more than a meter above the ground, and a slightly older little girl standing next to her, who was crying in fright.
Shu Kui hurriedly hugged the boy's leg and lifted him up slightly to relieve the pressure on his neck.
"Knife, cut rope." I don't know who shouted.
When Shu Kui heard this, he subconsciously turned his head slightly and stretched out a hand behind him.
After a few seconds, she felt a pain in her palm.
"Hold him down." This time, it's Gardenia's voice.
Immediately, Wan'er stepped forward and cut the rope from which the boy was hanging.
"What about the medical officer? Medical officer! Shu Kui hugged the boy and shouted loudly.
"Give it to me." Wan'er picked up the boy and ran into the house.
"Your Highness, the assassin has been caught." Gardenia said beside him.
Shu Kui was confused: "What assassin?" β
Gardenia Jin pointed to the man who was pressed to the ground by the guards: "Just now, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos and assassinate His Highness." β
Shu Kui looked down at his palmβthe wound was long, but not deep.
"I guess I accidentally slashed it when I handed me the knife." She didn't believe that this man had come to assassinate him.
"He shouldn't put the blade at His Highness, and even, he shouldn't hand the knife to His Highness, these are the most basic, and you can't forget it under any circumstances, otherwise, it will be punished as assassination." Gardenia said the rules of the palace.
"It's urgent, forget it." Shu Kui didn't expect it, but if he handed over a knife, the consequences would be so strict.
"Your Highness, you have been stabbed by him, if you forget it, Your Majesty will punish me." Gardenia refuses to stop there.
Shu Kui couldn't say anything more, so he had to watch the man being escorted down by the guards.
Next, as usual, he returned to the palace and the room, and for the rest of the day, Shu Kui lived very calmly.
In the afternoon of the next day, Gardenia Jin brought Shu Kui to the main hall, asked her to sit down, said "sorry", and sealed Shu Kui's actions.
Not long after, Shang Mo walked in with a middle-aged beautiful woman.
"Your Majesty, this is ......" She frowned when she saw Shu Kui, a little displeased.
"This is the queen-to-be, Shu Kui." Shang Mo introduced, "This is the mother of the Yun family, the mother of Yun Jingli. β
"Hello." Shu Kui smiled, "I'm sorry, I can't move." β
Mrs. Yun reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, which was considered a return gift.
"Yesterday, an assassin came to Muguang Academy." Shang Mo invited Mrs. Yun to sit in the seat opposite Shu Kui.
Mrs. Yun glanced at Shu Kui and didn't move: "Muguang Courtyard? Who are you going to assassinate? β
Shang Mo was not polite to her, and went to the throne and sat down: "Assassinate the prospective queen." β
Mrs. Yun didn't ring, waiting for the words later.
Shang Mo also stopped making a sound, and waited for a while, and after a while, the guards escorted in a person with a big tie of flowers, and threw it on the ground before he spoke: "His name is Tan Yue, I don't know if Mrs. Yun recognizes him?" β
"There are so many people in the palace, you can't recognize them all, how can I know them." Lady Yun never lowered her head.
"I don't think so." Shang Mo leaned on the backrest, very relaxed and casual, "He said that he was only ordered by Madame to assassinate the queen-to-be." β
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Yun's brows furrowed even tighter, "I'm a woman, and I don't dare to kill a fish, how can I order to kill someone?" β
Shang Mo let out an "oh" and turned to Tan Yue: "Say what you confessed yesterday, again." β
Tan Yue knelt and kowtowed: "The little one was sent to the palace by Mrs. Yun, a few days ago, Mrs. Yun instructed that the little one should find an opportunity to kill Her Royal Highness the Queen." Yesterday morning, the little one went to Muguang Courtyard with him, and just in time for His Highness to ask for a knife, the little one went over and wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate him. β
"Nonsense!" Madame Yun was annoyed, and her fair face was covered with a layer of pink.
"Nonsense?" Shang Mo is Tan Yue who asked.
"The little ones don't dare to talk nonsense." Tan Yue raised his head and looked at Mrs. Yun, "Madam, you are angry, Her Royal Highness the Queen of Qi has snatched Miss Yun's seat, and Your Majesty knows all this." But Her Highness is a person sent by King Kuixian, if you really kill her, I'm afraid it will ......"
"Shut up!" Madam Yun was furious, her figure flashed, she came to Tan Yue's side, and raised her hand to pat it on his Heavenly Spirit Cover.
Shang Mo reacted quickly, and almost at the same time, he blocked Mrs. Yun's palm, and pushed again.
Madam Yun was carried away by the anger, and it was not until she saw that Shang Mo was in front of her that she realized that she could not do anything to the king in the main hall no matter what, so she retreated and bowed down.
Shang Mo looked at her for a long time, and said faintly: "Forget it, the big wedding is coming, I don't care." However, Tan Yue is right, Shu Kui was sent to make peace, if he lost his life in Youlan, what would Ling Jiuchuan think? β
When Mrs. Yun heard this, her heart was shocked: "Your Majesty, he is really talking nonsense, I definitely did not order him to assassinate Her Royal Highness." β
"Then did you arrange for him to enter the palace? What is the meaning? Shang Mo took a step back.
"I ...... I didn't. Mrs. Yun is still denying it, but she is obviously lacking in confidence.
"Okay, just as you don't. I won't pursue what happened just now. Shang Mo didn't want to push too hard, "I invite you to come today, in addition to confronting Tan Yue face to face, there is one more thing I want to ask you for." β
"Your Majesty, please speak." Madame Yun didn't dare to relax at all.
"I heard that there is a little girl in your family who has been in and out of Liujin Village a lot recently." Shang Mo sat back on his throne.
"Really?" Mrs. Yun said that she did not know, "Even so, it is not illegal." β
"Of course, I didn't say she broke the law." Shang Mo smiled, "It's just that, you also know that the Gu in Shu Kui is difficult to solve, I've been busy with the big wedding recently, and I don't have much time, let the others go, and I'm not at ease, so I want to ask you to send that little girl to help stay in Jinzhai and ask." β
Mrs. Yun looked at Shu Kui: "I don't know who the little girl is talking about?" β
"It's the one who often follows you, with thin eyebrows and white skin." Shang Mo made a reminiscence, "What is the name, I really can't remember." β
Mrs. Yun nodded: "Your Majesty, I know, don't worry, I will let her go." β
"Then there will be labor." Shang Mo said kind words and asked the guards to take Tan Yue down.
"If Your Majesty has no other orders, I want to go and see Li'er." Madame Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shang Mo said "um".
Mrs. Yun saluted Shang Mo and Shu Kui and left.
Shang Mo stepped down from the throne, went to Shu Kui, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Wait, it won't be long before the Separation Gu on your body will be resolved." β
