King Chen sent Qiheng to the palace, turned the carriage, and went directly to the Hou Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw Su Lingying coming out, "Father heard that you entered the city, so he asked me to wait here." You're here! ”

"Take me to see Marquis Su." Chen Wang responded.

Su Sheng was waiting in the lobby, and the situation was serious and involved too much Chen Wang Bilai. And looking at the court up and down, there is only one way to discuss with King Chen.

As soon as someone came to report the arrival of King Chen, Su Sheng got up to greet him and motioned for Su Ling to retreat. Chen Wang didn't say much, and entered the hall after passing through the atrium. Su Sheng gave way. Chen Wang said, "Time is urgent, don't pay attention to courtesy. Master Su Hou is injured and sits first. ”

Su Sheng listened and sat down. Chen Wang said, "Master Hou said that the situation in Xinling is different, I don't know what it means?" ”

"Does King Chen know Mo Quan?"

"The nephew of the Empress Dowager, one of the four tiger generals of the expedition to the west."

Su Sheng also sighed, "The Empress Dowager is quite serious, and she handed over the Xinling Forbidden Army to him." Not long ago, he died suddenly in the palace, saying that he had an old illness. ”

"Strange death?" Chen Wang doubted.

"Strange. Mo Quan was my subordinate and my best friend. He had been hit by an arrow in his left shoulder and had a cut in his back, but apart from the pain in his left shoulder during the rain, he had never had any other old illness. ”

"Do you suspect that there is something else wrong with Mo Quan's death?" King Chen was suspicious and asked again. What does this all-powerful have to do with it?!

"Yes. But the emperor did not allow any further investigation. This is one of them. Su Sheng said again, "There is an old general in the Praetorian Guard, and when he came to visit me a few days ago, he said that in the middle of the night of the thirteenth, Wei Wuyu suddenly mobilized the Praetorian Guard to surround the inner palace on the pretext of catching thieves. It happened that the emperor fell to his death that night. ”

King Chen knocked on the table one by one, and his heart became more and more uneasy, if he said so, Qi Heng was afraid that it would be even more dangerous. King Chen said in a deep voice, "What does the Hou Ye mean is that the emperor died strangely?" ”

Su Sheng said, "It's just that there is no evidence." ”

Evidence. King Chen muttered, who did it? In the end, it was the mother and son in the palace who benefited, as well as the powerful ministers behind the mother and son. Yun Sheng is okay to say, but it's just for the right, so what is Wei Wuyu for? When the emperor is alive, he also covers the sky with one hand, so why bother to change to a little emperor. As Su Sheng said, Wei Wuyu has been rushing out of the emperor to crusade against Chen Guo, why is this? King Chen suddenly thought of the gardener, the empty wooden box, and the jade slip that should have been in the wooden box. Is it possible? Who would be so crazy!

King Chen was engrossed, and suddenly heard a coaxing sound behind the screen.

Chen Wang collected his thoughts and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Sheng was also puzzled.

King Chen got up and held down Su Sheng, "Master Su Hou is unable to move, so I'll go and take a look." After that, he drew his sword and cautiously turned to the back of the screen, at this time the air was dull, only the sound of coaxing behind the curtain, King Chen raised the curtain with his sword, but saw that the knife on the knife holder was trembling. The sound was made by the knife. Look closely at the knife on the shelf, the blade is simple, and there is a faint atmosphere around it. "Hongming Knife?" King Chen put his sword back into its sheath and took it down lightly.

I don't dare to believe that the sword is really spiritual! Chen Wang walked out with a knife and praised, "This Hongming knife really has spirituality!" Looking at Su Sheng again, he asked with a smile, "It is rumored that it can detect murderous aura, is it true?" ”

This knife is weird tonight! Su Sheng was full of doubts, shook his head and replied, "It's just rumors." It is said to be an heirloom, but in fact it is just an ornament. ”

"Maybe pull it out and take a look?"

"Please."

The knife stops vibrating when it is unsheathed. It is said that it is refined into steel, and there are many fish scale-like fine lines in the world's treasure knives, which are the marks left by the folding and hitting of pig iron, and there is no trace of forging on the top and bottom of this knife. Chen Wang held it in his hand, only feeling that it was a few points heavier than an ordinary knife, and looked closely at the few red lines on the handle of the knife, like unwashed bloodstains.

King Chen stared at the bloodstains, and in a trance, it seemed that he had seen a chaotic battle, and heard countless or sharp and suppressed screams, as if he had smelled a strong smell of blood. The sky and the earth were dark, as if entering the clouds, and a huge dragon hovered above the clouds.

"The Emperor! Changhuang! You've deceived me so badly! "Its voice is strong, and its voice is sad! With a bang, the dragon fell to the clouds, and the lightning thundered and the sky and the earth cracked! Suddenly, his eyes turned white, and there was nothing.

"Ahh

What's wrong?! King Chen woke up suddenly, and then saw Su Sheng lying in a pool of blood with his eyes open, and the Hongming knife in his hand was dripping with blood!

Here's what's going on?! King Chen seemed to be still immersed in hallucinations.

"What's going on! Master Hou! Su Sheng! Yunzhu heard the sound and burst in from outside, and when she saw this scene, she was dizzy. rushed over to pick up Su Sheng, but saw that Su Sheng's henchman was cut open, and he had already lost his breath.

"Why is that?" Yunzhu cried out in grief.

King Chen was confused for a while, he just pulled out the Hongming Knife, how could this be? What's going on. King Chen threw down the Hongming knife, looked at Su Sheng, and then looked at Yunzhu, but he was still speechless.

Su Ling heard the movement, broke in, was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him, and asked Yunzhu, "Who is it?" What's going on? ”

Yun Zhu came back to her senses and stared at King Chen viciously, "King Chen! What did Su Sheng do, you want to kill him? ”

King Chen came to his senses at this time, looked at the fallen Su Sheng, and hurriedly stepped forward to visit, "I saw that he had something to talk about today, and I didn't want to kill him." ”

Yun Zhu hated, "Su Sheng died at your hands, didn't he?" ”

Chen Wang couldn't argue.

Yun Zhu raised her hand and pointed at King Chen, and cried left and right, "What are you waiting for? still hasn't caught the prisoner who killed Hou Ye. Those hands were stained with Su Sheng's blood.

The air is dull, and the heavens and the earth are silent. The people of Suhou Mansion surrounded Mu Ran's King Chen, Yunzhu hugged Su Sheng and cried bitterly, and Su Ling stood stiffly with his fists clenched.

The genius was about to dawn, and Hao Sheng rushed to Xie's mansion.

Before Wei Wuyu woke up, he heard a banging knock outside the door, "Master Wei! Something big is wrong. ”

But in a moment, Wei Wuyu put on his robe and opened the door, "What's the matter?" ”

"Last night, Marquis Su was killed in Houfu, and the lord of Yunzhu said that the murderer was King Chen, and he had already let King Chen be locked up."

"Why did King Chen kill Su Sheng?"

"I don't know about this yet. Also, General Shen died last night, and the assassins are hunting him down. Hao Sheng said.

"Shen Xun!" Wei Wufu was shocked, "Who is it?" ”

"Don't worry, sir. Because of these two incidents, Xinling City has been placed under martial law, and the assassins cannot escape. Hao Sheng said.

"I'll give you three days, live or die, and I want to meet the Assassin." Wei Wuyu said coldly.

Imperial Palace Fengtian Hall

Qi Heng felt as if all eyes were on him. How many of them wanted him to live, how many wanted him to die, he didn't know, everything came too suddenly. Qiheng only felt extremely depressed. The plain white banner is depressing, the gloomy spiritual position is depressing, and the eyes that are staring at him are even more depressing. He wanted to escape, he wanted to run away impatiently, as if everyone was holding a knife, red-eyed, and wanted to cut himself one by one. The terrible hall was quiet, but he seemed to hear 'kill him' one after another. His head felt like it was going to explode, and he thought he was going crazy. He looked at the people around him and always felt that the next moment they would pull out their knives and slash themselves to pieces. He thought he would be sad, but no, and from the time he stepped into the palace again, he felt nothing but fear. Qi Heng suppressed his desire to escape, numbly completed all the procedures, and then couldn't help but quickly escape from the main hall. The emperor's grandmother is gone, his father and mother are gone, and he is like a baby who has suddenly lost all protection. Qiheng didn't know how to describe this feeling, he only knew that it was a great sense of crisis. He told himself not to panic, he told himself that he should be more stable, but he wanted to tell himself more: run away!

No! Qiheng suddenly said to himself. It's that Yunshang, it must be her! Qi Hengyin fiercely took out the dagger hidden in his boots and took revenge! Kill her to avenge her mother.

Qi Heng descended from the spirit hall, passed through the inner door, the middle door, and turned into the corridor, his pace became faster and faster, and his heartbeat became more and more rapid. Suddenly, one person shouted, "Your Highness Heng! ”

This sudden shout startled Qi Heng, and when he stopped, he saw that it was Huan'er from Shangshi.

"What are you doing?" Qiheng felt that his hands and feet were numb.

Huan'er looked left and right at no one, pulled Qiheng aside, and said in a low voice, "Xun'er, they are closely watched, and others are afraid that Qiheng will not recognize and believe it." The slave maid had been to the queen's palace a few times and had a few face-to-face meetings with Her Highness, and Xun'er thought that Her Highness might recognize her, so she let me come. As he spoke, he took out a box, "It's not convenient for them to come." Let me give this to Your Highness, saying that it was left by the Empress, you know the use. ”

Is even Kaoru regulated? Qi Heng felt a burst of grief in his heart, thinking that the torture and murderous heart of the queen mother in the palace became heavier and heavier during her lifetime, and said coldly, "You also came at risk, I am very grateful to you, but I can't thank you now." ”

"Your Highness is really tormenting the slave when he says this. The queen treated us well when she was alive, and we couldn't repay our kindness lightly, so we could only do these little things. Although Huan'er is entrusted by others, it is only for the queen, and the slave and maid are also willing. I only hope that His Royal Highness can escape from Xinling, don't be rash, life is the most important thing. In the future, I will be able to avenge the queen's mother. ”

Revenge in the future? It's better to do it today!

"Who's there?! What revenge? "Wan Yi and a grandmother came out of the moon gate, and when they saw Qiheng, they gave salutes one after another," Your Highness. ”

Qi Heng pretended to be calm and said in a deep voice, "Get up!" Qi Heng held the box, only to feel that there was nowhere to hide, a spirit, and the dagger in his sleeve fell to the ground.

"Whoa!" Mama got up, but her eyes looked at Qiheng and pretended not to see it, then looked at Huan'er, and said loudly, "What are you and Your Highness doing here?" ”

Wan Yi took over, "The emperor was very happy when he heard that His Royal Highness had returned. It just so happened that Huan'er sent breakfast, so she took a few things and asked Huan'er to send them. He reprimanded again, "The emperor asked you to send something, you can go directly to His Highness's bedroom, how can you stop it here?!" ”

Huan'er heard that she was breaking the siege, and she said yes a few times. Qi Heng looked at her and was also grateful.

Mama looked at Wanyi, naturally she didn't believe it, so she made a salute and hurried away.

Wan Yi said in a low voice, "King Chen was locked up by the eldest princess. ”

Qiheng's mind was confused.

Wan Yi said, "Your Highness, if the queen is alive, the most hopeful thing must be the safety of Her Highness." ”

Qi Heng looked up at Wan Yi in a daze, remembering the words of the queen mother and King Chen's entrustment. That's right, for 'his' safety. He felt cold, it seemed like the air was thinning, and he was almost out of breath.
