Ye Tian followed Ma Gonggong to the Jade Immortal Palace, and this was the first time he had walked into her residence. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info red bricks and green tiles, high walls and deep courtyards, magnificent, this is not her style, she must not like this place!

There is a difference between men and women, and when he enters the Jade Immortal Palace, he can only stand in the hall and wait, and he can't enter the inner room, and he can't see the situation inside clearly through the bead curtain. In a flash, the bead curtain moved slightly, and he looked and saw that the emperor in bright yellow clothes had walked out, so he stepped forward quickly, saluted, and waited for the emperor to get up before getting up.

The emperor stood at the door, looking at the moonlight in the courtyard, sighed, and asked solemnly, "How is the investigation?" ”

Yetian turned to stand behind him and said, "The mastermind behind the scenes has not yet been asked." ”

"I am afraid I can't ask them just by asking. Even if they knew, they wouldn't tell. I know some of the rules of the rivers and lakes. ”

"I'm sorry for the emperor, the ministers are not doing well, and I hope the emperor will forgive the sins."

The emperor turned his head to look at him and said in a deep voice, "Whether you are guilty or not depends on what valuable things you can say next." ”

Yetian then told him what he had speculated. "Your Majesty, according to what the assassin confessed, and what the minister speculated, the minister thinks that what they seem to want to kill is not the emperor."

"Oh? How so? ”

According to the Assassin Jia Yuan, their leader, also known as U Wu, was in charge of archery outside the temple. But this Mao Wu only has a bow and an arrow in total, and this Mao Wu is either a master among the masters, confident that he can shoot the emperor with one arrow. But he didn't, since the first arrow didn't hit, he must have shot the second and third arrows, but he didn't, after shooting the first arrow, he wanted to escape, but was caught by the minister. ”

"Go on."

Yetian continued: "Since this person in charge of archery outside the hall has been caught by the minister, then the arrow that stabbed Concubine Li's mother must be another person, and this person is outside the palace. The Assassins confessed that they had come twenty of them, one of whom was in charge of archery outside the temple, and the other nineteen were inside the temple. But judging from their arrangement, the two archers, nineteen of them were in the Shengping Building, so it should be twenty-one people! ”

The Emperor turned his head to look at Yetian in shock and said, "You mean to say that there should be twenty-one at the moment, but now only twenty have been caught, and there is one assassin who can't be found yet?" Wouldn't it be very dangerous in the palace now? ”

Ye Tian bowed down and said: "The minister has already discussed with Yun Changfeng, the commander of the Yulin Army, he will send additional people to guard in turn, and the guards who enter and exit the palace gate must also be strictly investigated." If this assassin was still in the palace, he would not dare to make any more moves, he was afraid of ...... He's out of the palace. ”

"Out of the palace?"

"Yes, if the minister's guess is right, this person has already left the palace. At the time of the assassination, the scene was chaotic, and the minister didn't have time to think about it, and it wasn't until the interrogation that he realized that something was wrong, and it was the minister's negligence. ”

The Emperor paced to the table and sat down, meditating. At that time, the Assassins were aggressive against him, and their knives were deadly. Who still has the heart to think about how many assassins there are, not to mention that Mo Yu has been hit by an arrow at that time. "I actually let an assassin swagger out of the palace?"

Ye Tian laughed and said: "Your Majesty, the twenty of them also walked in with a swagger. ”

"You ......," the emperor glared at him, and then realized that what he said was not unreasonable. Forget it, it's no wonder that the Yulin Army was negligent. By the way, you just said that their target is not me, how can you see it? ”

"The emperor thought about it, if their target was the emperor, why didn't they shoot arrows at the beginning, twenty of them, if each of them had one arrow, it would be enough to shoot us into a honeycomb. But they don't do that, as if this assassination began with an arrow and ended with an arrow. Especially the last arrow, what do they seem to be waiting for? ”

The emperor frowned deeply and looked at the night sky in bewilderment. What else is there to wait for in the main hall except for a few of them? "Wait? What are you waiting for? ”

"The minister guessed that they were waiting, and Concubine Li came over."

"What does this matter have to do with Concubine Li?"

Ye Tian bowed down and said, "This is just the minister's speculation." The emperor recalled that the emperor was fighting at that time, Concubine Li was standing behind the minister, and the three of us were almost on the same line. When that arrow came, Concubine Li was closest to the emperor, and she ...... With Concubine Li's affection for the emperor, she will definitely block that arrow. So the minister guessed that what they wanted to kill was actually Concubine Li. But in this case, the minister didn't understand, if the murderer's target was Concubine Li, then why didn't he shoot her at the beginning, the first arrow hit her, could it be that the arrow that Concubine Li blocked was just an accident? This contradictory idea is also inexplicable.

"Don't tell me that this assassination is a farce between the Assassins and me. And Concubine Li, it was an accident. ”

Seeing that the emperor's face was gloomy, his tone was already cold. Ye Tian hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister is incompetent, and so far, he has no clue." He didn't know that the biggest surprise of this farce was that in the information that his own assassin had obtained, there was only the emperor and his concubines in the Shengping Tower tonight, and there was no night.

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, then waved his hand and said, "Get up!" No wonder you. From now on, you will try your best to track down the real culprit behind the scenes, at any cost, and you are not afraid of wasting time and money to find out to the bottom of the matter. ”

Yetian was puzzled, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter will have to be handed over to someone else, the minister ......"

"I know that you don't have to go out with me tomorrow, stay in the capital, and let me die in this Tokyo city."

"Your Majesty, this can't be done, the minister must escort him." This war was provoked with great difficulty, and if he didn't join the army, wouldn't it be in vain. However, if Moyu was left alone in the palace, he was really not at ease.

"Alright, I don't have a shortage of guards. But tomorrow you will still go out with me, and when you arrive in Zhengzhou, you will secretly return to Beijing. One is to find out the truth, and the other is to protect Concubine Li. ”

The minister couldn't resist the king, so he had to bow down and say in a solemn voice: "The minister obeys the order, and the minister must live up to the emperor's mission." Your Majesty, the minister has a request. ”

"Say."

"The minister wants to take a look at the arrow on Concubine Li's body, as well as ...... The minister wanted to see Concubine Li's mother so that he could understand the situation. ”

The emperor stretched out his hand, and Ma Gonggong walked to Yetian with a tray, and in the tray, the arrow that shot Moyu was contained. I heard the emperor say: "It's this arrow, as for seeing Concubine Li, she is still in danger, and the imperial doctors are waiting on the side." When she wakes up, you're coming to see her! ”

"Yes." As long as you can see it, it's not just a moment.

The Emperor stood up and slapped him on the shoulder, as if to weigh a thousand pounds on him. "Yetian, I have entrusted her life to you. You must save her for me. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this is the duty of the minister." What's more, he was also willing.

Ye Tian looked at the inner room behind the bead curtain without a trace of life, she was still in danger, and it was unknown whether she could survive it. And her husband is really willing to leave her in this dangerous deep palace like this to protect his country. As for him, he can't see each other, and he can't say anything.

Moyu, Moyu gave it to him that day, he had already accepted it, but he was stupid and dull at the time, everything he thought was selfish, and he regretted it at the moment, I don't know if she can repay her wishes, forgive me?

"My lord, my lord, it's not good."

An anxious voice came from outside the hall, and Yetian walked to the door, looked at the person who came dissatisfied, and said, "What are you shouting, the emperor is inside." ”

The emperor in the palace heard the voice and said, "Let him come in and speak." ”

Ye Tian walked to the hall with the guards who were passing the message, and the guards bowed and saluted, then got up and said, "Your Majesty, those assassins are dead. ”

He's dead? Ye Tian couldn't help but be shocked, he had only left for a while, how could he die. "What's going on? Didn't I let you take a good look at it? ”

When the adults left, the assassin fainted. Later, we poured water on him, but unexpectedly, after a while, he foamed at the mouth and his wound turned purple, and he should have died of poisoning. ”

At this point, the night sky is clear. "Someone must have poisoned the water, and when the poison hits a wound and seeps into the flesh, it will be poisoned and die."

"Slap ......" The emperor slapped the table and said angrily: "It's really rampant, everyone dares to poison in front of everyone, this person must still be in the palace." Check, check for me. ”

Yetian was also angry, and even killed people under his nose. So he ordered the guard: "Let Commander Yun immediately block the palace and firmly surround that courtyard, tonight, no one who appears in that courtyard is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to have any contact with the outside world." Eat, drink, and Lazar, and let people follow for twelve hours. ”

"Yes, sir."

Yetian turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, go and take a look." ”

"Well, go ahead!"

The Jade Immortal Palace in the imperial palace is brightly lit, and in the entire imperial city, in addition to this one, there is another place that is also brightly lit. That is the Kifu of Nanhua Street.

To the north of the Ji Mansion, there is a courtyard, which is where the ancestral hall of the Ji family is located. At this time, when it was approaching, the subordinates were all guarding the door, silent, no one dared to speak, no one dared to move. And in the house, there are old lady, Ji Gangyang, Yuan, and Ji Boyuan. The old lady and Ji Gangyang sat at the top, the Yuan family sat at the bottom of Ji Gangyang, and the kneeling on the ground in front of him was Ji Boyuan.

The reason why Ji Boyuan was kneeled is said to be because he went out drinking with friends not long ago, and met a girl on the way back, so the wine surged up and he slept with a girl. Saying that, she fell asleep, and the girl didn't know who it was, but unfortunately Young Master Ji accidentally dropped a jade pendant in someone's house, and the jade pendant was still engraved with words. The family was also smart, and took the jade pendant to show a literate person, only to know that the jade pendant was engraved with the word "Ji".

There aren't many families in Tokyo with the surname Ji, and that's the Ji Mansion behind their alley. So he took the jade pendant to Ji's mansion and asked, only to know that it was Young Master Ji's belongings, so he hurriedly found Young Master Ji to confront him. As soon as Master Ji appeared, the girl recognized that face, so Lai couldn't get rid of it.

It stands to reason that if you sleep, you will sleep! Even if he recognized Young Master Ji, it was nothing, just give some silver and send it away. It's a pity that the problem came, the girl's belly was enlarged by Young Master Ji. The Ji family has strict family rules, and before the main wife is pregnant, the concubine is not allowed to have children, let alone a woman without a name.

When the old lady learned about this, she punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall from the afternoon. At night, he simply let his son and daughter-in-law follow him here, saying that the son was not filial and that his parents were wrong, although he could be exempted from punishment, he had to sit with him until Ji Boyuan admitted his mistake.

It was said that it was a punishment, but I didn't hear the sound of beating and scolding, and the temple was quiet at the beginning. It was a long night, and it seemed like everyone was staying up and waiting. What are you waiting for?

The old lady looked at the bright moonlight outside the door, the sky was full of stars, and occasionally a few meteorites slipped down. Legend has it that if there is a meteorite in the sky that slips, it means that there is a life in this world that has disappeared, and who is the falling meteor? "Ah Fu?" Ah Fu is the name of the housekeeper of the Ji Mansion.

The butler standing aside replied, "What's the matter with the old lady?" ”

"Check it out."

The housekeeper will know, go and see, what to see, of course, go to the door to see if the messenger has returned. It was now past the end of the day, and in a little while it would be dawn.

Ji Gangyang saw that his mother was anxious, and comforted: "Mother, don't worry!" There will be no surprises. ”

The old lady just sighed, and the Yuan family said impatiently: "Why is there no news yet?" If something happens, it'......"

The Yuan family wanted to say something, but was glared at by Ji Gangyang, so he had to shut up. "Mother, things are not completely absolute, even if there is an accident, there is still a queen mother in the palace!" Although Yuan's voice is not good, the reason is still good.

The old lady looked far away, "There is a queen mother in the palace, but there is also an emperor, with the emperor's shrewdness, the queen mother may not dare to do too obvious." ”

The butler came in, walked up to the old lady, and shook his head. "All the news is blocked in the palace, nothing can be transmitted, and the guards at the palace gate have been strengthened, but they can't inquire at all."

The old lady continued to ask, "What about the mass grave?" ”

"There is no news coming back, it should be that no one has been received."

Ji Gangyang stood up and paced back and forth, there was no news, this is not a good sign! Ji Boyuan, who had been kneeling, raised his head and said, "Father, I think things have probably changed. ”

Father and son, Ji Gangyang thought the same as his son, and said: "There has been no news for so long, it should be an accident." ”

Yuan exclaimed, "Could it be that they missed? ”

Ji Boyuan shook his head, "This is the worst result, it is also possible that they have already succeeded, but something happened and they couldn't get out." ”

"And if they do miss, then aren't we all finished?" Yuan's heart is cold, she doesn't want to die yet!

"Even if they miss, according to their rules, they won't say anything. Even if they did, they wouldn't have found out about us, because they didn't know that we were still there in this matter. ”

Ji Gangyang put back on the chair, sighed, and said, "Don't be too happy, there is no news, everything is unknown." ”

The room was silent again. As soon as the fifth watch day passed, the sky was about to dawn.

When it was ugly, when it was young, the sky was slightly bright.

At dawn, the sky was dawning.

The result they have to wait for is always ...... Didn't come. The family waited in the ancestral hall all night, but after all, they didn't wait for the rest they wanted to know. Ji Gangyang got up and sighed. Said: "It's time for me to go to the court."

Yuan Shi said worriedly: "Master......"

"It's a blessing and not a curse, it's a curse...... I can't hide from it! ”

Ji Boyuan also stood up and rubbed his legs that had been kneeling all night. "Father?"

"Go and clean up, and act as if you don't know anything. Today is different from the past, and no flaws can be revealed. ”

Ji Boyuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The old lady also stood up and said, "Everything that listens to your father is different from the past." Maybe by now, no news is good news. ”

"My grandson understands."

Maybe it is possible for the emperor to keep it secret for the sake of today's overall situation. Mo Yu, her granddaughter, don't blame her for being a grandmother, she can sacrifice everything, including her own life, for the honor of the family. If she can exchange her life for the queen position of jade, in exchange for the glory and wealth of the Ji family, it will also be worth it. I only hope that in the next life, she will not devote herself to a rich and noble family, even if she is a flower seller, she is always happier than a woman who is an emperor.
