Chapter 63: The Assassin
The assassin had already injured Xiao Shi, but he did not hurt Tao Ge again, and it just so happened that a few guards arrived at this time, although several of them were in a hurry, but Tao Ge had clearly noticed that they were looking leisurely, and they were not panicking!
And the leader is actually Ru Qianqiu!
Seeing that someone was here, the man in black immediately turned around and fled, Xiao was injured and shed some blood, Tao Ge helped her without saying a word, and the two maids also stepped forward to support her carefully, and called: "Aunt Xiao!"
When the guards saw the man in black fleeing, they were about to chase after him, but Ru Qianqiu said, "Poor Kou Mo chase!"
Tao Ge felt more and more that something was wrong, with Ru Qianqiu's temperament, he would definitely not settle things, and how could this be the case now!
Also, at this time, since Sima Daozi has already gone to the court, Ru Qianqiu will definitely follow, even if he does not go along, then he should stay in the Si Yuan, which is far away from the Si Yuan and the North Garden, and in a short time, he will definitely not be able to catch up.
There is only one possibility, the so-called assassination is nothing more than collusion, and the assassin is also a familiar person.
There was a faint agarwood smell on the assassin just now, and the first thing that Tao Ge thought of was Sima Daozi, but the assassin was fatter than Sima Daozi.
Tao Ge suspected that Xiao and Sima Daozi had colluded in this matter, so he let go of the hand holding Xiao without a trace, but Xiao Shi had already noticed it, and then called out a little weakly: "Su Su ......"
At this time, Tao Ge held her up again, and said lightly: "You are injured."
Xiao Shi looked at her with teary eyes and said in a low voice, "Can you call me 'Sister'?"
Tao Ge was naturally unwilling, and when she saw that Ru Qianqiu had come over, she pretended not to hear it. He let go of his hand and said, "Why didn't you chase it?"
Ru Qianqiu said: "There are countless people who come to the palace to assassinate. We're all used to it. ”
Tao Ge asked bluntly, "What about the prince?" Where's the prince?"
Ru Qianqiu said: "The prince has gone to the court."
"Then why didn't you follow?" Tao Ge is pressing forward step by step.
Ru Qianqiu coped with it easily, and said, "I have other uses for staying in the palace."
"What's the use?" Tao Ge followed closely.
"A few days ago, the envoy of Buyeo presented the paperwork. His Majesty handed over the documents to the prince for inspection, and the prince read them overnight last night, and today he instructed me to check them again. ”
Tao Ge turned sideways after hearing this, pretending to be unintentional, and said: "Qianqiu stayed in Lisi Courtyard, and he was also worried about Beiyuan, and he came so quickly."
Ru Qianqiu knew what she meant, and he said: "Yesterday, the head of the guards in the palace was sick and on leave, and the prince handed over the errand of guarding the palace to me temporarily. After reading the paperwork, I led a few people to inspect, and I happened to hear some movement here, so I hurried over, do you think there is something wrong?"
"Naturally not," Tao Ge immediately replied, turning back to look at Ru Qianqiu's eyes, Ru Qianqiu and her only blink of an eye before retracting her gaze. looked at Xiao Shi behind her and said, "Aunt Xiao is injured, you should quickly go and ask the doctor to come."
As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Xiao Shi leave Beiyuan. The guards also left.
Tao Ge frowned, although he still had some suspicions that the assassin was Sima Daozi, but he had already gone to court. There can be no more doubt about this.
What's more, every word of Ru Qianqiu's words is reasonable, and collusion. There is no possibility.
Night falls, after dinner. Xiao personally sent some pastries, and Tao Ge knew that her arm was injured and hurriedly took them.
Her face was still not very pleasant, but being able to do so made Xiao Shi happy, Tao Ge said lightly: "You are injured, why bother."
Xiao Shi smiled and said, "The cook made some pastries, I tasted good, so I sent some to you, I heard Ziji say, you have always liked to eat these snacks."
Tao Ge finally showed a smile with her, although the smile was light and light, but for the Xiao family, it was as happy as a long drought and a rain.
"Sister Ziji is talking nonsense again," Tao Ge said, turning around and putting the wooden support on the table, then turned around and said, "It's late, you are injured, rest early."
Xiao Shi bowed his head slightly and said, "If you are frightened today, you must go to bed earlier."
Although Tao Ge no longer coldly calls her Aunt Xiao, she still doesn't want to call her sister.
Seeing Xiao Shi leave, Tao Ge picked up the lamp and went straight to leave the courtyard, the door of the study was closed, she knocked on the door, and it was Sima Daozi who came to open the door.
"Susu?"
Tao Ge was silent, and Sima Daozi asked, "What's wrong?"
She still didn't speak, only carefully looked at Sima Daozi from top to bottom, and then frowned, that assassin was really fatter than him.
Sima Daozi looked a little unnatural by her, turned sideways, and said, "Come in beforehand."
Tao Ge entered in response, Sima Daozi closed the door, turned around, Tao Ge also turned around, looked at him and said, "There is an assassin in the palace today."
"I know," Sima Daozi said, "your sister is injured."
Tao Ge said: "That assassin's eyes are very similar to those of the prince."
Sima Daozi chuckled in her heart, she really suspected him, and she complained that Ru Qianqiu went too early!
He smiled, and Tao Ge asked, "Lord Wang, you say, is there a possibility that people will suddenly become fat?"
Sima Daozi was shocked again, he was afraid that Tao Ge would see through it, so he deliberately wore a cotton coat in it at that time, which would make him hot at that time.
But I never thought about it, but I still let this girl see it......
He didn't veto it, and replied: "Naturally, if you eat too much, you will get fat."
"I mean, I got fat all of a sudden, and I got thinner all of a sudden," Tao Ge became more and more endless, and said directly: "For example, it's like the prince was very thin last night, but this morning he suddenly became fat, and in the evening, he became thin again."
Only then did he veto, saying, "How is this possible, you don't want to make fun of me."
Tao Ge no longer tested him, but he quipped, "But if you eat fat, you must not be ugly."
She glared at him, then turned around and walked out, Sima Daozi followed to the door of the house, but heard a maid reprimanding another maid, and said: "Today, the prince is resting, and he has been in the study all day, why didn't you pass the meal!"
When Tao Ge heard this, he immediately figured out that this matter was indeed colluded, otherwise, how could the assassin go straight to her at first, and then how could he run to Ah Sister inexplicably, and also deflected the blade of the sword, deliberately cutting Ah Sister's arm.
Thinking of this, Tao Ge stopped, Sima Daozi noticed that the momentum was not good, so he turned around and went back to the house, but before he could turn around, Tao Ge had already turned around.
The two of them looked at each other silently, and for a long time, Tao Ge said coldly: "Even if some people cover their faces, even if they are fat, the agarwood fragrance on their bodies will never change."
Sima Daozi pretended to be stupid, nodded and said, "Well, you have a point." (To be continued.) )
