Chapter 1117: The Stranger in the Middle of the Night
Seeing that Zhao Yuan was really going to shut up and not answer, Yun Yang, who was so curious, finally couldn't hold her breath, she shook Zhao Yuan's arm lightly and said, "You have no jokes, the emperor must answer." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Then the concubine first asked the emperor why he was sullen today? ”
Zhao Yuan's deep eyes dimmed a little again: "An old friend of mine is gone. ”
Although it was expected, Yunyang was still stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Lord Cheng, he also saved the life of his concubine back then, and he can be regarded as the benefactor of the concubine." ”
"yes." Zhao Yuan grabbed her shoulder and squeezed it gently: "If it weren't for this, how could I spare his family?" After all, he stabbed you in front of me, and if he assassinated a member of the royal family in the laws of Great Qi, he would definitely be connected to the nine clans. ”
Yun Yang sighed: "The deceased is gone, and the concubines don't care about these anymore." It's just that Master Cheng is physically strong, even if he is imprisoned, he will not lose his life in such a short time. Could it be that he committed suicide in fear of sin? However, looking at his character, it doesn't seem like he can do such a thing. ”
"You guessed it right." A thin layer of frost rose under Zhao Yuan's eyes: "He was killed by someone." Someone charmed all the soldiers guarding him last night, and then threw a poisonous Gu on Cheng Xin, which made his head itch and couldn't scratch, and finally he could only hit his head with his head frantically, and finally his skull was broken and he died. ”
Yun Yang gasped, although she guessed that Cheng Xin's cause of death might not be very good, but she really didn't expect to die of poisoning Gu, and the most common one to use this method was the hermit faction who had made people fearful on the rivers and lakes.
"Who would do such a thing?" The light in Yunyang's eyes flickered: "Looking at this technique, it seems to be the style of the recluse faction." Maybe...... This matter really has nothing to do with the queen. ”
Zhao Yuan knew that Yunyang was actually a little lost in his heart. If this matter was done by the queen, then after returning to the capital, Zhao Yuan's rectification of the queen would be able to be carried out smoothly, but the queen had lived in the deep palace for a long time, how could she know about this kind of poisonous Gu on the rivers and lakes?
Besides, if the queen wants Cheng Xinxin to die, she can completely buy the assassin to directly kill Cheng Xinli, why bother to throw poison Gu so much, let him go crazy first and then hit the wall? If Cheng Xin was talking nonsense when he was crazy and said what he really wanted behind the scenes, wouldn't the queen be more passive?
And now it seems that this murderer specifically wanted Cheng Xin to be tortured to death, and the purpose seems to be to avenge the members of the Hidden Sect who had killed many members of the Hidden Sect in the encirclement and suppression operations back then.
So in this way, the person behind Cheng Xin is a recluse?
But Zhao Yuan always felt that there was always something unreasonable in the whole incident, if the Hidden Sect could easily cast poison Gu on Cheng Xin, then why did they only vote for a specific person? With their level of hatred for Daqi, they should have poisoned the entire convoy, right?
How could you be so kind in the face of such a wonderful opportunity?
Not killing other people is a bit unreasonable for the hermit faction, but if this matter is done by the queen, then everything can be explained. The reason why the queen is the queen is because the emperor is still on the throne.
If Zhao Yuan died unexpectedly. Then she can't become the queen, she can only become the queen mother who has no real power.
She had no children, and Zhao Yuan's two sons were not in harmony with her. It can be predicted that after she becomes the queen mother, life will be very difficult. This is the reason why she will never do anything to the emperor.
Although Zhao Yuan had doubts in his heart, he didn't say anything to Yun Yangming, just kissed the top of her head and said, "No matter who did this, their purpose has been achieved, and Cheng Xin is dead." Now all you have to do is to quickly take care of your body, and when you return to Hanyang Palace, I want you to appear in front of me every day. ”
Yunyang wanted to raise his arm to hug Zhao Yuan's neck, but he didn't want to affect the wound, so he took a few deep breaths in pain.
Seeing that she was trembling in pain, Zhao Yuan was so anxious that his forehead was sweating: "Don't move, the more you move, the more it hurts." ”
Yun Yang looked up at Zhao Yuan with some guilt: "Your Majesty, the concubine is reckless. ”
Zhao Yuan looked at her big eyes that were pure and bright as stars, and all his temper was targeted: "You, you just eat me." Don't take care of your body anymore, or I'll be really angry. ”
Yunyang nodded obediently.
Sure enough, until he went to bed at night, Yunyang didn't mention it again, just concentrated on resting on the bed.
Because Yunyang was involved in the wound during the day, Zhao Yuan was afraid that when he turned over at night, he would touch her wound and affect her rest, so he asked a palace maid to serve Yunyang all night, while he himself went to rest in another carriage.
Yunyang also felt that because of her injury, Zhao Yuan was afraid that she would always be unable to sleep at night when she ran into her, and she was so distressed that she couldn't do it. Now that Zhao Yuan is resting in other carriages, at least she can sleep a little, which is better than being by her side, so she readily agreed.
In the middle of the night, Yunyang suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing in from nowhere, and she woke up after a cold fight.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the palace maid who served me was already asleep in the corner. Yunyang sat up with his uninjured arm propped up, looked around, and found no signs of air leakage in the doors and windows. She shook her head in surprise and whispered, "Could it be that there is a hallucination in the dream?" ”
Yunyang didn't wake up the sleeping palace maid, but just pulled the quilt covering her up, and was about to lie down and fall asleep, when she suddenly felt another cold wind swishing into her neck.
She shuddered in a way that was too real to be dreamed of. But there's no air leakage anywhere around?
Could it be...... Yunyang slowly raised his head. Sure enough, a large chunk of the carriage roof above his head disappeared at some point, reflecting the black hole in the sky outside.
Yun Yang raised his hand and patted his chest, and whispered, "Scared me, did you think something had happened?" It turned out that the roof of the carriage was broken......"
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard several strange cooings, like the cries of some kind of pheasant. Yunyang looked up again strangely, only to find that the opening that had just revealed the night sky had been blocked by something, and that thing was constantly gnawing at the roof of the car, as if trying to get in.
Yunyang thought that he had encountered some kind of beast, and his voice trembled: "Come on, come on!" ”
After all, she was still sick, her confidence was insufficient, and she was frightened, her voice trembled so much that she didn't float far at all.
However, the thing on the roof of the car seemed to understand, and sped up the movement of its mouth, and after three strikes and five out of two, it actually poked its head in.
As soon as his head came in, under the reflection of the lamp, Yunyang realized that it was not a beast at all, but a person with blurred flesh and blood.
Yunyang was so frightened that he forgot to call for help and just screamed out of instinct!
Her scream first startled the head that came in from the roof of the car, and the head slowly turned around, and Yunyang's whole person froze there, unable to move!
This person turned out to be Cheng Xin, whose face was covered in blood!
