The king of Zhenbei was also preparing intensively, and he instructed his cronies: "You must draft an edict of guilt, and you must copy the handwriting of Your Majesty, so that no one can find the slightest flaw." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Soon after the order, the cronies found someone to make a holy decree and brought it to the king of Zhenbei, who unfolded the decree and glanced at it and said: "It's too similar, it is indeed like what His Majesty wrote, with this will in hand, the rest of the matter can be solved." ”

"The prince is wise." The cronies flattered him and said, "I wish the prince a victory." ”

King Zhenbei laughed a few times and said: "When this king ascends to the throne, he will definitely reward you more, whether it is a knighthood or more rewards, this king will satisfy you." ”

When their cronies heard this promise, they couldn't help but feel very relieved, after all, they were all looking forward to the king of Zhenbei being able to ascend the throne and become emperor, and he could replace Shen Tianao's position, so that they could have the opportunity to further gain greater rights.

King Zhenbei suddenly looked restrained, and he mentioned the matter and said: "Next, you all have to prepare well, if you take a wrong step, we will fall into a situation from which we will never recover." ”

The cronies knew what King Zhenbei was referring to, so they responded one after another: "Yes, my lord, we will act cautiously." ”

Shen Tianao's side learned of their movements in advance, so he had already arranged for deployment, just when the assassins sent by the King of Zhenbei sneaked in, he dropped the cup to the ground, and in an instant the guards hidden in the shadows rushed out and fought with the assassins, and Shen Tianao held a sword in his hand, he came to the front with a cold face and killed an assassin with a sword.

Liu Ying persuaded him: "Your Majesty, just leave it to the ministers to deal with it here." ”

"Nope." Shen Tianao said, "If I don't kill a few of these assassins myself, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart. After saying that, he continued to fight with the assassins, because Shen Tianao's swordsmanship was superb, so the assassins failed to hurt him, but one assassin after another fell to the ground.

"Keep your mouth alive." Shen Tianao instructed Liu Ying.

Liu Ying learned the lesson of the previous time, and when he captured the assassins, he knocked down their swords in time, and clasped their mouths with his hand to prevent them from biting the poison to kill themselves, so that two or three survivors and guards of the assassins were captured alive.

"Your Majesty, what should they do?" Liu Ying asked.

Shen Tianao glanced at the assassins and said, "It's still useful for them to keep it, and it can naturally come in handy after a while." He wanted to keep the Assassins and use them to correct the murder of the King of Zhenbei.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Ying waved his hand and motioned for the rest of the guards to bring the assassin up.

Looking at the corpses in one place, Shen Tianao suddenly frowned, and he said to Liu Ying: "Pay attention to the movements of the queen's side, the king of Zhenbei will definitely beat her if the assassination fails, you must protect her, and don't let the queen fall into the hands of the enemy." ”

He knew that Gu Tingcheng was his weakness, and if Gu Tingcheng was captured by the King of Zhenbei, he couldn't ignore her danger, so he must not put her in danger.

Liu Ying suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, if the queen is unfortunately captured by the king of Zhenbei, what should the minister do?" He thought it would be better to ask in advance, lest he not know what to do.

Shen Tianao was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "Then kill her, even if you kill her, you can't let her fall into the hands of the King of Zhenbei." He didn't know how he could say such a thing, he didn't want Gu Qingcheng to die, but when it was a last resort, he could only choose to get rid of her, she was very important to him, if it fell into the hands of the king of Zhenbei, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After listening to Shen Tianao's order, Liu Ying couldn't help but be a little stunned, after all, His Majesty was not like this before, but now his attitude towards the queen is gradually changing, but what His Majesty said is not wrong at all, he would rather let the queen die, and he can't let her fall into the hands of the king of Zhenbei, otherwise it will be a terrible thing, and His Majesty will be affected by her at that time.

When the news of the failed assassination reached the ears of the king of Zhenbei, he said to his cronies quite angrily: "Didn't you say that it would be foolproof, how could it be like this, not only did it not hurt Shen Tianao in the slightest, but several assassins were captured alive by him. ”

The cronies knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Lord, my subordinates didn't expect such an ending, I knew that such subordinates would go in person, it seems that Your Majesty has been prepared for a long time, so our sneak attack was not successful." ”

King Zhenbei walked around the room with his hands in his hands, his face was anxious, and he said to his cronies: "We can't sit still like this, since we can't kill Your Majesty, then send someone to arrest the queen, she is so important to Your Majesty, it will definitely make Your Majesty hesitate a little, and when that time comes, we will not have the upper hand." ”

"Lord Wang, I will go to capture the queen now, and I will definitely take her into our hands and use her to control Your Majesty." The cronies reassured King Zhenbei again.

The action always came so fast, Gu Qingcheng had already felt the abnormality beside her, and she even whispered to the mirror: "Something big must be happening in the palace, I seem to smell blood." ”

The mirror hurriedly comforted her and said, "Master, you will be fine, you finally came to this time and space to meet him, how can there be anything." ”

Gu Qingcheng smiled bitterly and said, "What you said makes sense, I hope I'll be fine." ”

How much she wanted to leave the palace, but Shen Tianao chose to leave her in the palace, this "love" made her unbearable, thinking of this matter, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and she didn't know how Mo Chen was outside the palace, she was his mother, and she missed him in the end.

After a while, Gu Tingcheng felt that there were many people around, she heard the sound of fighting outside the hall, and the palace maids were afraid to surround her, and said to her: "Niangniang, the situation outside is very chaotic now, Niangniang takes us a lot on weekdays, even if she fights for her life, she has to protect Niangniang." ”

Gu Qingcheng saw that their faces were obviously terrified, but they were still only protecting her, she couldn't help but sigh: "Why do you have to do this, I can protect myself, and I don't need you to protect me with your lives." "She doesn't want to see that kind of thing like Concubine Chen again, after all, using other people's lives to protect her is not something she wants to see.

"Niangniang, you stay in the palace well, don't go out." The palace maid persuaded Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng took out a dagger from his arms, this is what Shen Tianao gave her to defend herself, now it seems that it may have come in handy, she pushed open the door and saw a group of people fighting together, among which she saw a lot of familiar figures, many of them were Shen Tianao's guards, it can be seen how dangerous the situation in the palace is now.
