Chapter 111: Assassination, the Empress's suspicion

readx;?β€œ This ......" Zhao Tong said: "Actually, the slave and maid don't know very well, I was with the second young man, and I don't know much about the four girls, but I just heard the little maids of the Ji Mansion privately spread that when the spring hunt this year, His Royal Highness the King of Qin went with the five guards, at that time, Lord Yu had not yet entered the palace, and it happened that the four girls secretly sneaked out of the house with the maid on the day of the spring hunt and went to the hunting ground, but they got lost in the forest, and later, it seemed that they met Lord Yu, so they ......"

As soon as Zhao Tong said this, Xun Jiu instantly understood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Among the five guards of the Qin Palace, Gong Yi is the coldest, Jiaoyi is weird, Shang Yi is young, Zhengyi is too dull, and the only normal thing is Yuyi, who has a gentle appearance.

Ji Zhi'er's temperament is already high-flying, and in the face of the sudden warm Yuyi, she is naturally unstoppable.

Therefore, it is understandable that she will like Yuyi.

"Why did the girl suddenly remember to ask this?" Zhao Tong felt strange, the fourth girl had such a bad temperament, and her own girl was still so interested in her?

"Know yourself and know your opponent!" Xun Jiu smiled and asked again: "By the way, my cousin told me about Sanshao's birthday today, do you know what day it is?" ”

"It's still early." Zhao Tong said: "There is still more than half a month, could it be that the second young man invited the girl to participate?" ”

"Hmm." Xun Jiu nodded, "My cousin has personally invited, and it is impossible for me to refuse." ”

"But......" Zhao Tong's delicate little face sank instantly, pouted, and said unhappily: "The slave maid is always worried that the fourth girl will take this opportunity to do something, in case she hurts the girl......"

"Is your girl so weak and can't help it?" Xun Jiu turned his head and glanced at her amusedly, "Originally, my cousin wanted to take advantage of Ji Lichuan's birthday banquet to let me shake hands with Ji Zhi'er and make peace, if she didn't have the intention of making peace, but wanted to make me make a fool of myself, then I wouldn't mind playing with her and teach her a lesson!" ”

Zhao Tong remembered that day in front of the gate of Yunshuizhai, in order to intimidate the four girls, the girl really let the strong men come over with kitchen knives to cut.

It was also from that day that Zhao Tong knew that his girl turned out to be a ruthless character who couldn't be messed with.

That bad breath is really refreshing!

Thinking of this, Zhao Tong laughed silently, "Since the girl has decided to go, then the slave will accompany you at that time." ”

"Hmm." Xun Jiu's head is right.

"Girl, do you still want to bathe?" Zhao Tong saw that it was getting late, and it was about to fall asleep, so he couldn't help but ask Xun Jiu.

"Nope." Xun Jiu waved his hand, "I only bathed once when I went out, and now I am sleepy and want to sleep, so don't wait in front of you, go down and rest!" ”

"The girl is resting, and the slaves and maidservants are retreating." Zhao Tong and Liu's mother retired together.

Xun Jiu stood up, yawned and walked directly to the room, took off his clothes, and fell down on the bed and slept until dawn.

The autumn weather is getting colder and colder every day.

As soon as he woke up, Xun Jiu lifted the brocade quilt and felt a cold air invade.

The whole body shrank for a moment, she quickly got back into the quilt, and wanted to lie on the bed in her heart, but she said that she would enter the palace to see the empress, and she couldn't go if she didn't go.

The two voices of getting up and not getting up were entangled in my heart for a long time.

At this time, Zhao Tong's voice came from outside, "The girl is up?" ”

Xun Jiu stretched and muttered, "I really want to sleep for a while!" ”

Zhao Tong pushed open the door and came in, and carried a stove with Liu's mother and placed it not far from the bed.

"Girl, the weather is getting colder, the slave has prepared a stove for you, and today's clothes must be thickened, otherwise it will be easy to catch a cold." Zhao Tong cleaned his hand and turned back to see Xun Jiuyong sitting at the head of the bed, his eyes slightly closed, his face lazy, and he looked like he was forced to get up and have a deep hatred.

When Zhao Tong saw Xun Jiu like this for the first time, he couldn't help but feel funny, "Girl, do you still feel cold?" ”

"Now there's a stove, it's much better." Xun Jiu lazily opened his eyes, "I just feel that the weather is gradually getting cooler, and even the people with me are lazy, I don't want to get up, and I want to sleep well for a day." ”

"Then sleep." Zhao Tong smiled: "This is the girl's territory, who would dare to limit your work and rest time?" ”

"But I said that I was going to enter the palace to ask the empress for a pulse!" Xun Jiu lazily breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not okay if you don't get up." ”

Zhao Tong thought about it and said happily: "The girl can sleep until noon, and then enter the palace after eating." ”

"That's a good idea." Xun Jiu glanced at her lightly, "But last night, King Qin's reward order has been issued, if I wait until noon when those patients come to the door to choose for me, I won't be able to get out." ”

"This ......" Zhao Tong was speechless for a while, and then said with annoyance: "It's all because the slave didn't listen to the uncle's will and learn medical skills, otherwise she would be able to share the girl's worries now." ”

"What does this have to do with you?" Xun Jiu couldn't cry or laugh, "What's more, you didn't know me back then, but then again, if you really want to study medicine, I can teach you slowly in the future, as long as you study hard, you will definitely achieve something." ”

Zhao Tong's eyes were shining, and he said happily: "I know that the girl is the best, and the slave will definitely redouble her efforts in the future, so that the uncle under Jiuquan can rest assured as soon as possible." ”

"Alright, wait for me to freshen up!" Xun Jiu finally defeated the little monster who was lying on the bed in his heart, and did not hesitate to lift the brocade quilt and get out of bed.

Zhao Tong immediately went to the wardrobe and picked out a purple silk and emerald dress to change into for her, and then went to the bronze mirror to freshen her up.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin did not come today." Zhao Tong smiled and asked, "Can the girl take me into the palace?" I haven't seen Her Majesty look like yet! ”

Xun Jiu looked at the little girl who was full of anticipation in the bronze mirror, smiled, and said mysteriously: "Empress, she is a stunning woman who looks extremely beautiful and is so beautiful that a man can never take a step again at a glance." ”

Zhao Tong gasped and exclaimed, "Isn't that even more beautiful than a girl?" ”

"Well, this one!" Xun Jiu thought about it carefully, "When I have the opportunity, I will take you into the palace, and you will know when you go to see it, the demeanor of King Qin, as his dragon and phoenix sister, naturally cannot be bad." ”

"That's what I said." Zhao Tong muttered in a low voice, "But the slave still thinks that the girl is good-looking, especially when you stand with His Royal Highness King Qin, you have to match with many things, I don't know how many women in the boudoir can be envied!" ”

Xun Jiu held his forehead, "The empress is not my rival, you are too prejudiced to be like this, in fact, the empress has a good heart." ”

"Then it is rumored that Her Majesty the Empress ** ......" The more he went to the back, the quieter Zhao Tong's voice became.

Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly, "Have you ever seen the empress?" ”

"I haven't seen it." Zhao Tong shook his head.

"And have you ever seen her kill?"

"This ......" Zhao Tong felt that the girl's tone at this moment was a little harsh, and her aura was so high that she couldn't stand it, but she still stubbornly said: "Although the slave maid has not seen Her Majesty kill people with her own eyes, it is an indisputable fact that everyone knows that she ordered to copy the Xun Mansion, and the girl must have forgotten about it......

There have been a lot of things in the past few days, Xun Jiu has indeed put the case of Xunfu being raided behind, and now Zhao Tongyi reminded that the first thing she thought of was not the blood of Xunfu on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the fact that Bai Saburo was the brother of her mother's compatriot who she found out later.

Many doubts came to mind in an instant.

Xun Jiu shook his head vigorously, not wanting to devote more energy to thinking about these things, so he only said to Zhao Tong solemnly: "It is rumored that this kind of thing will become another version after a person's mouth, if you don't see it with your own eyes, don't believe it, and many times, what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily true." ”

Zhao Tong nodded as if he didn't understand, "The slave knows that the girl said that it was Bai Saburo who finally confirmed that it was your brother. ”

"So, don't be fooled by appearances." Xun Jiu looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and said quietly: "When you encounter something, you must learn to use reverse thinking to push back, once there is something unreasonable, it means that the whole thing is wrong." Although I am also very confused about the seizure of Xunfu's house, I believe that the empress did not order to kill my whole family on impulse, after all, she knew that Bai Saburo was my brother early on. ”

Zhao Tong's face was surprised, "What do you mean, Her Majesty the Empress has long known about Bai Saburo's relationship with you?" ”

"Hmm." Xun Jiu responded, "King Qin told me that once the empress went on a trip, Bai Saburo found an opportunity to meet her, and then directly revealed his life experience, and asked His Majesty the Empress to help take revenge, the empress was moved by his forbearance hidden in Quanlin Village for 18 years, and finally thought of a way, that is, to let him follow into the palace to become a male concubine, and the identity of the male concubine became Bai Saburo's most advantageous cover barrier, and also successfully helped him to avenge himself." ”

In Zhao Tong's stunned expression, Xun Jiu concluded, "It can be seen that the matter is not as simple as the cruelty of the empress we see on the surface, it is as simple as copying Xun's mansion because of a male concubine, and there must be a lot of hidden secrets." ”

"It's just ...... It's terrifying. Zhao Tong came back to his senses for a long time and muttered: "It turns out that Her Majesty the Empress has brought Bai Saburo into the palace against public opinion, and there is such a twisted story, if it weren't for the girl telling her today, the slave and maid may still think that Her Majesty the Empress is too much like the ignorant people." ”

"These are just the appearances that the empress made for outsiders." Xun Jiu sneered, "Actually, the empress hasn't touched any male concubines at all. ”

That woman, willingly clothed in the condemnation of the world, kept chastity for a man.

This sentence made Zhao Tong so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw.

Zhao Tong would have such a reaction, Xun Jiu was not surprised at all, after all, when she learned from Ah Zi's mouth that the empress had not touched any male concubine, her mood was the same as that of Zhao Tong now.

In the eyes of the world, the most tyrannical empress is actually as shrewd as her younger brother King Qin.

If the lords of the six feudal kingdoms who were secretly about to move knew this truth, would they be so angry that they vomited blood?

Xun Jiu laughed silently, urging Zhao Tong, who was still stunned, "Okay, don't be in a daze, hurry up and freshen up for me, I still have to rush into the palace!" ”

Zhao Tong was shouted by her, and immediately came back to his senses and sped up to groom her.

After a cup of tea, Xun Jiu finally finished dressing, hastily used some thin porridge, carried the medicine box and walked out of the gate.

Zhao Tong immediately took a brocade fur cloak and put it on her.

Ji Liming carefully considered Xun Jiu's travel problems when he bought this mansion, so he set up a stable, which contained a good red-maned horse, but there was always a carriage to pick up and drop off when he traveled before, and Xun Jiu had never ridden this horse alone, and today was the first time.

Led the horse from the stable, put the saddle, Xun Jiu stepped on the stirrup and turned over, his legs clamped the horse's belly, the horse neighed, raised his front hooves and flew towards the imperial city.

Hua Rou obviously didn't expect Miss Jiu to enter the palace today, so when she saw Xun Jiu, she looked a little surprised.

Xun Jiu walked over with the medicine box, saw the flower resin guarding outside the emperor's bedroom, and asked, "Auntie, I haven't been here for the past two days, is there anything uncomfortable about Her Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty is good." Hua Yin said with a smile: "Thanks to the girl, Your Majesty has been in a much more comfortable mood in the past two days, plus Mrs. Gu often comes to accompany Your Majesty, she is always smiling on her face now, the slaves and maids are the first time to see Her Majesty the Empress like this, it is really refreshing to be in good spirits on happy occasions, no, the eunuchs of the entire emperor's palace even work a lot harder." ”

"That's good." Xun Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped up to enter the hall.

Hua Rouge hurriedly said: "Miss Jiu, Your Majesty and Mrs. Gu went for a walk in the imperial garden, and they are not in the emperor's bedroom. ”

"Oh?" Xun Jiu paused, turned around and raised his eyebrows, "Her Majesty went for a walk so early?" ”

"yes!" Hua Yin replied: "Your Majesty feels that she is groggy lying on the dragon couch every day, so when Mrs. Gu entered the palace, he invited her to go to the imperial garden together, and ordered the slaves and maids not to follow." ”

Xun Jiu's eyebrows furrowed, "You mean, now Her Majesty the Empress is the only one by her side, Sister Luo?" ”

"Yes." Hua Rouge nodded, and suddenly heard something else from Xun Jiu's words, and immediately changed his face, looking at her nervously, "Miss Jiu, is there something wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Xun Jiuchong smiled with relief, "You guys are guarding here, I'll go to the Imperial Garden to have a look." ”

After Xun Jiu finished speaking, he handed the medicine box to the flower resin, and walked quickly in the direction of the imperial garden.

In the imperial garden in late autumn, most of the flowers have withered, as far as the eye can see, the garden is full of strange stones and jade seats, pine and cypress, colorful pebbles paving the road, the patterns are diverse, and the pavilions are warped out of the eaves and the glazed tiles on it in the verdant shade.

Xun Jiu asked the soldiers stationed outside, and the soldiers said that after the empress entered the park, all the guards stationed around her would be dismissed.

Xun Jiu squinted his eyes and asked the soldier about the approximate location of the empress, and then hurried to the garden.

The imperial garden is too big, Xun Jiu is the first time to come, it is inevitable that some can't find the north, east and west, around the strange flowers and trees, pools and stones, and finally heard a sound not far away behind a hollow rockery.

Xun Jiu stopped and listened intently, but suddenly found that it was a fierce fight.

His heart tightened, Xun Jiu quickened his steps and followed the source of the sound, and he saw a hidden pine and cypress forest in the distance, a red figure and a black figure mingled.

The red figure with the robe fluttering and making a series of moves was none other than the empress.

Xun Jiu didn't have time to be surprised that the empress knew martial arts, her heart was beating non-stop, and she was also entangled.

The guards outside are too far away from this place, and if she returns to move the rescuers at this time, it seems that it is too late, but if she doesn't go back, she doesn't know martial arts, and she can't help at all.

With his fist in his sleeve clenched, Xun Jiu still decided to run back quickly to inform the guards outside.

The empress was extremely perceptive, and had already spotted her, but she quietly looked back and continued to fight.

The branches and leaves in the forest shook violently, and instantly fell into powder under the powerful strength of the two of them.

"Stop!"

Just as Xun Jiu turned around, a cruel and cold voice came from the forest, with great anger.

Xun Jiu was immediately stunned, not daring to move, but a layer of cold sweat appeared in his palms.

The black-clothed masked man's eyes were sharp, and while the empress was unprepared, a strong palm wind quickly hit Xun Jiu's back, with the speed and momentum of the roaring sky.

The surrounding flowers and trees shook even more violently, and where the wind swept through, gravel flew wildly.

Xun Jiu was startled, turned sideways and wanted to hide to the side, but the strength was too strong, so she couldn't move at all, and in an instant, it was three inches behind her back.

She clearly felt as if all her essence had been suddenly drained of her body, and there was no place in her body to exert her strength.

At this critical moment, the empress gritted her teeth, and threw out a ball of red light from her palm, like a gorgeous red brocade, with the speed of the wind and rain, breaking through the air barriers, the speed was faster than the palm wind of the man in black, and at the moment when the palm wind was about to hit Xun Jiu, the red light rushed over to fight with it, and in an instant, countless sparks burst out in the void, and the sound was deafening.

Xun Jiu was shocked, holding his chest and staggering forward a few steps, his body trembled and almost collapsed, his wrist was suddenly pulled hard, and in an instant, his body rose into the air, and in a moment he landed on the top of an octagonal pavilion.

Xun Jiu opened his eyes in shock, and saw that the person next to him was the empress, she didn't look at her, her cold eyes stared straight at the black-clothed man who was holding his chest and vomiting blood, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be dyed by the fiery red halo just now, but what was reflected on the empress's face was only the cold of ice and hell.

Although the man in black was masked, the incredible shock in his eyes clearly fell into Xun Jiu's eyes.

"You...... How can you extinguish the fire?! The man in black's gaze at the empress turned from shock to fear at the beginning.

It turns out that this woman not only knows martial arts, but also "extinguishes the fire"!

This exercise is clearly a witch......

"You talk too much nonsense!" The empress interrupted his thoughts in a cold voice, the fiery red brocade sleeve clothes were hunting in the wind, the green silk was flying like a waterfall, and the grass and trees were shaking like waves, layer upon layer.

The empress pushed Xun Jiu with her hand, "You go over a little, so as not to hurt you later." ”

Xun Jiu stepped on the smooth glazed tiles and slowly moved to the side, holding on to the corner of the eaves to stabilize his body.

When the empress saw her walking away, she immediately retracted her gaze, closed her eyes slightly, and suddenly opened them, and in an instant, a powerful wind hit the man in black.

At the same time, a large number of Iron Eagle Guards who happened to be patrolling and passing by suddenly poured in outside.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, the man in black staggered to avoid the empress's attack, and tapped his toes, but in an instant, he flew far away with light skills and disappeared.

Patrolling today was a lieutenant under Da Sima Ji Boran.

When he came in, the empress had already taken Xun Jiu and flew down the octagonal pavilion and sat down in the pavilion.

The captain was shocked, and when he came in, he knelt on the ground and confessed, "It's too late to save the driver, please ask Your Majesty to surrender!" ”

"Alright." The empress waved her hand impatiently, "Fortunately, I am unscathed, you immediately lead people to search around, and you must capture the assassin alive!" ”

Hearing the empress say that there was nothing to do, the captain breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took the order to retire.

This false alarm, Xun Jiu was scared enough, she sat opposite the empress, her face was full of astonishment, as if she had just re-acquainted with the empress today.

The woman in red who had superb martial arts and ruthless shots just now completely subverted Xun Jiu's previous perception of the empress.

After a while, Xun Jiu tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, it turns out that you know martial arts?" ”

Xun Jiu remembered the red light called "Extinguishing Fire" that was pushed out of the Empress Fangcai's palm to save her, and secretly thought that it was not a realm that ordinary martial arts practitioners could achieve.

Could it be that the empress's martial arts are on par with Fusheng?

But when she checked the pulse of the empress before, she clearly didn't notice that she had internal strength or something, why didn't she see her for two days, and she was so powerful?

The empress didn't answer her, and she caught a glimpse of the captain with the Iron Eagle Guard walking away, her face was tired, she couldn't help but hold her chest after all, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she fainted as soon as her eyes were closed.

"Your Majesty-" Xun Jiu's face changed fiercely, looking at this sudden scene, she didn't have time to call someone, so she had to stop her waist and pick up the empress.

The moment she picked it up, she was suddenly stunned.

When did I have so much strength to hold someone?

Shaking his head, Xun Jiu thought that maybe he was in a hurry to stimulate his potential ability.

Without thinking much about it, she quickly ran in the direction of the emperor's dormitory with the empress in her arms, and she could still run like this with a person in her arms, even she admired herself a little.

The eunuchs of Gong'e were still guarding outside the emperor's bedroom, and suddenly saw Xun Jiu coming back with the empress who had completely fallen into a coma, and everyone was shocked and knelt on the ground with a brush.

Only the flower resin was still calm on the surface, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Miss Jiu, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

"There's no time to explain." Xun Jiu hurriedly said: "Hurry up and let someone prepare hot water and velvet towels, and help me bring in the medicine box by the way!" ”

When the eunuchs heard the order, they got up and ran to the imperial dining room.

The flower resin carried the medicine box and followed behind Xun Jiu.

Putting the empress lying flat on the dragon couch, Xun Jiu quickly buckled her pulse.

The empress's pulse was extremely weak, which was a symptom of a loss of qi and blood.

Instructed the resin to open the medicine box, Xun Jiu took out the silver needle and pricked the empress twice in a few places, and then instructed the resin, "Quickly go to the Fengtian Temple to find a way to secretly inform the King of Qin, remember, don't alarm the hundred officials." ”

Hua Rebu clearly saw the dazzling red blood stains and pale face at the corner of the empress's mouth, and said with a cry, "Miss Jiu, what's the matter?" ”

"There are assassins in the Imperial Garden." Xun Jiu said: "And the skills are extraordinary, if it weren't for ......" She originally wanted to say that if it wasn't for the empress's action, even she herself would have almost died in the hands of the assassins.

But when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't stop it, after all, no one knew about the empress's martial arts, and now that she knew, she couldn't just talk nonsense.

After listening to Xun Jiu's half of the sentence, Hua Rou automatically understood that Xun Jiu appeared in time to save the empress, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, "Thank you for saving Miss Jiu." ”

Being thanked for being inexplicable, Xun Jiu couldn't help it, pulled the corners of his mouth, and waved his hand, "Auntie, hurry up, when you encounter this kind of thing, anyone will take action, not to mention that I am Her Majesty's imperial physician, so I am naturally responsible for her safety." Okay, time is pressing, you hurry to Fengtian Palace, and be sure to bring King Qin over in the shortest possible time. ”

After another word of thanks, she slowly stood up and walked out of the emperor's bedroom.

The palace ladies who had just gone to the imperial dining room had already returned with warm water.

Xun Jiu personally put the towel into the water, soaked it and wrung it out, wiped the blood from the corners of the empress's mouth, and at the same time frowned and pondered what kind of person was so bold that he dared to appear in the imperial garden in broad daylight to assassinate.

Thinking of this, Xun Jiu suddenly realized that he had neglected one thing, and hurriedly asked Gong E, who was waiting on the side: "Didn't Aunt Hua Resin tell me that Sister Luo was also in the Imperial Garden before?" Why did I only see Her Majesty alone when I went? ”

The palace lady frowned deeply, and explained: "The slave maid dares to swear to the heavens that Mrs. Gu is indeed the emperor's bedroom hall that walked out with Her Majesty the Empress, and all the palace eunuchs have seen it. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the little palace ladies behind her immediately nodded like pounded garlic.

Xun Jiu looked at everyone's faces, it really didn't look like he was lying, so he turned his gaze back in disbelief, suppressed all his doubts, and prepared to wait for the empress to wake up and ask again.

The empress's body was already weak, but today she has experienced this fierce battle, and the loss is extremely great, even if she is pierced with a silver needle, there is still no reaction.

Xun Jiu stayed in front of the bed for more than half an hour, and seeing that the empress still showed no signs of waking up, she stood up and walked to the table, and asked someone to take pen and ink to open a prescription and let Gong E go to the Tai Hospital to get medicine to decoction.

The little palace lady was so anxious that she didn't retreat in the slightest panic, "Who dares to assassinate Her Majesty the Empress in the Imperial Garden?" ”

Xun Jiu didn't answer, because she also wanted to know.

It stands to reason that there are elite soldiers like the Iron Eagle Guard patrolling the palace road from time to time, and the assassin has no chance to sneak in, but that person not only sneaks in, but also comes blatantly, as if he came with the mentality of killing the empress.

At that time, Sister Luo was not present again.

Did Rong Luo leave by chance or did he have another secret?

Xun Jiu pursed his lips.

In a daze, a little eunuch came in outside the door to report: "Miss Qiyujiu, the military of the palace gate came to report that Mrs. Gu had left the palace more than an hour ago and returned to the Pawn Office, and General Gu came to pick it up in person." ”

His pupils shrank suddenly, and Xun Jiu asked sharply, "Is the news true?" ”

"It's true!" The little eunuch said: "The period gate soldier said that all the period guards at that time watched General Gu carry Mrs. Gu into the carriage and go in the direction of the pawn office. ”

So, does this matter really have nothing to do with Rong Luo?

Xun Jiu's hanging heart finally fell.

Fortunately......

Fortunately, it was not the bold conjecture she had in mind.

Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, Xun Jiu's face turned cold again, and he asked the little eunuch, "Has the Iron Eagle Guard captured the assassin?" ”

"This ......" the little eunuch lowered his face and shook his head slowly, "Miss Huijiu, there is no news yet. ”

Xun Jiu casually answered and asked them all to withdraw.

The Empress was still unconscious.

Xun Jiu knew very well that the empress was in this situation today, and her silver needles and medicines could not save her, so she could only let a person with profound internal skills like Fu Sheng come to heal her true qi.

After about half a pillar of incense, Hua Rou finally came back from Fengtian Hall in a hurry, and said with a panicked face: "Miss Jiu, when the slave maid went to Fengtian Palace, His Royal Highness King Qin had already left the palace, and I heard the guards outside Fengtian Hall say that it seems that Prime Minister Jiang Cheng is looking for His Royal Highness King Qin to have something." ”

Jiang Yichu?!

Xun Jiu was taken aback.

How can there be coincidences everywhere today?

First, when the empress was assassinated, Rong Luo left, and then when the empress needed to be transported to her true qi, Fu Sheng was invited away by Jiang Yichu.

What is the connection between these two events and the assassination of the empress?

I didn't have time to think about it, Xun Jiu thought about it, and instructed Hua Rou, "For today's plan, I can only let my aunt go to the temple again to invite the high priest." ”

As if seeing a life-saving straw, the tense complexion of the flower fat finally relaxed, and he immediately turned around and went to the temple again.

==

At the same time, in the solemn temple of the Gathering Gods, the Tai Yin was holding a bamboo slip in his hand and looking at it seriously.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind outside, and in the blink of an eye, a black shadow flashed in, and her body staggered, and she almost fell directly in front of her without standing firmly.

Yutai was taken aback, immediately put down the bamboo slips and stood up, looked at the visitor in dismay, and shouted: "Who is so bold that he dares to trespass into the temple!" ”

"Miss, it's me." The man in black's voice was extremely weak, a little hoarse because of his weakness.

"Chi Min?" Yutai's face was full of astonishment, looking at him dressed in a night suit and masked, and suddenly frowned, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Miss, I don't have time to explain right now." Chi Min said with difficulty, clutching his chest in pain, "The Iron Eagle Guard is chasing after me, please help me cover later, and I must not let them discover my traces." ”

The doubts on his face were even worse, his eyes were cold, and he walked over and grabbed Chi Min's arm, "You say first, what did you do!" Why are the Iron Eagle Guards after you? ”

The Iron Eagle Guard is the empress's own soldiers, an elite soldier who specializes in protecting the empress's safety, how can he hunt down Chi Min for no reason?!

"I ......" As soon as Chi Min said a word, there was a voice of the waiter hurrying outside.

Chi Min's expression changed slightly, and he quickly shook off his arm and dodged behind the screen.

Yutai lowered his eyes and looked at the place where Chi Min was standing, where there was a pool of blood.

Her face darkened, and with a wave of her sleeve, a sharp white light drifted over the bloodstains, but in the blink of an eye, the bloodstains were gone, as if no one had ever been in that place.

The waiter came quickly, hurriedly, and said while panting, "Big ...... High Priest, no, the captain of the Iron Eagle Guard came with a large number of guards to search the temple, and said that there were assassins coming in this direction. ”

Glancing at the screen without a trace, Yutaiyin's face was gloomy, "I'm going to meet them." ”

The attendant breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led the platform to the gate of the temple.

There were about forty or fifty people from the Iron Eagle Guard, all of whom wore long swords at their waists, and their expressions were solemn and murderous.

The corners of his lips hooked slightly, and his gaze fell on the captain who was the leader, "If this seat is not mistaken, this is the first time that the Iron Eagle Guard has come to my temple, and such a big pomp is set up for this seat?" ”

The lieutenant was polite, and he hugged his fists and saluted, "An hour ago, there was an assassin in the Imperial Garden who intended to assassinate Her Majesty the Empress, and he was ordered to hunt down the assassin, and found that he had entered the temple. ”

"Assassinate the Empress?" There was a look of horror in his dark eyes, and anger flashed through it, and it returned to normal in an instant.

"Fortunately, it didn't really hurt Her Majesty." The lieutenant said truthfully, "The lowly duty is to act under orders, and I hope that the high priest will be accommodating." ”

At this time, Hua Rou came from the side of the corridor on the soft chariot, and saw a large number of guards of the Iron Eagle Guard blocking the outside of the temple, she looked suspicious, and came forward to ask the captain, "Dare to ask your lordship, is this what happened?" Why are so many people blocking the gate of the temple? ”

When the captain saw that it was the new female official beside the empress, he immediately said respectfully: "Auntie doesn't know, the assassin has just entered the temple, and we are consulting with the high priest to go in and search." ”

Recuperation was shocked, "This ...... You said the Assassin just entered the temple? ”

"I saw it with my own eyes." The lieutenant nodded affirmatively.

Flower Fat timidly raised her eyes to look at the Tai Yin.

As a female official next to the empress, she vaguely knew something about the fact that the Tantai family wanted to compete for the hereditary qualification of theocracy, but now she heard that the captain said that the assassin had entered the temple, and then contacted her back and forth, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, and she always felt that the assassin should be related to the temple and the Tantai family.

The lips were straightened into a line, and the flower frown without a trace, and he was hesitating whether to ask the high priest to heal Her Majesty the Empress as the girl had ordered.

Pleaseβ€”if the Assassin was really sent by the High Priest, wouldn't it be a lure for her to let the High Priest heal Her Majesty?

No, Her Majesty's life is in danger, and it is likely that the best time to save her life will be missed.

Flower Fat stood in place with her sleeves twisted, hesitating in her heart.

Tan Tai Yin looked at it lightly, "Auntie came to the temple in such a hurry, why did she come to the temple in such a hurry?" ”

The named flower resin's body trembled, her lips moved, and it took a long time before she said slowly: "High Priest, Your Majesty the Empress has an invitation to let you go to the emperor's dormitory." ”

After Hua Rouge finished speaking, she secretly raised her eyes and looked at the look of the high priest, wanting to test how the high priest would react after knowing that the empress was not injured, but sent her to the temple.

The platform fell into deep thought.

Chi Min had just returned from the assassination attempt, and the empress sent someone to summon her to the emperor's dormitory, does it mean that the empress found out that the assassin was a member of the temple?

Thinking of this, Yutai raised his eyes to look at the flower resin, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, "Auntie, do you know why Her Majesty the Empress suddenly summoned this seat?" ”

Hua Rou didn't see a strange look on Tantai Yin's face, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and at this moment, when he heard Tantai Yin ask back, he felt that the high priest's mind was unfathomable, and it was not something she could test with a word.

"Slaves and maids don't dare to speculate on the holy will." The resin surface does not change color, and it is owed.

Yutai was silent and said calmly: "In this case, my aunt can go back first, and when this seat finishes dealing with the affairs here, she will come over immediately." ”

Hua Resin raised her eyes again, but Yu Taiyin still had a calm and breezy face, and did not stir up half a minute of turmoil because of her words.

Without thinking about it anymore, Hua Rou resigned as promised, and returned to the emperor's palace on the soft chariot.

After the resin left, the captain frowned and looked at the company, and repeated the words of his intention to search the temple.

Yutai frowned, and his voice was low, "You want to search the temple, this seat didn't say or agree, if you find an assassin, then it will be counted as this seat, but if you can't find it, so many of you rushed in and offended the gods, how should you calculate this account then?" ”

"This ......" the captain showed hesitation, and after a long time, he settled down and said solemnly: "The gods are the gods who protect the rivers and mountains of Dayan, and today's events are related to the safety of the lord of the rivers and mountains. Therefore, please ask the high priest to let him go. ”

Even the "Lord of the Country" moved out!

Yutai squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the heavily armored captain in front of him, secretly thinking that the people under Da Sima's men were really extraordinary, and even a small captain could speak like this.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said: "Since the captain has said everything about this, if this seat still does not agree, won't he have to bear the reputation of 'disrespecting the Lord'?" ”

After speaking, she waved her hand to the attendant behind her, "Go and arrange a soft sedan chair for this seat first, and then let the Iron Eagle Guard go in to search after this seat goes to the emperor's dormitory, after the search is over, remember to entertain them well until this seat comes back." ”

The waiter promised to go down and arrange a soft sedan chair.

The captain stood outside the gate of the temple, and then looked at Yutai with a little more dissatisfaction in his eyes.

What does it mean to treat them well until she returns? This is clearly temporary imprisonment!

But there is no way, Shantai Yin is the owner of the temple, it is not easy for her to agree to go in and search, if there is a little entanglement in the middle, I am afraid that it will cause the relationship between the Ji family and the Tantai family to stiffen, and when the time comes, it will affect the whole body, and no one will end well.

Thinking of this, the captain could only endure it silently, and waited for the leader to leave first.

After touching the tea, sure enough, a soft sedan chair carried by four people came out of it, and the sedan chair man bypassed the Iron Eagle Guard and headed in the direction of the emperor's dormitory.

The captain watched the soft sedan chair leave, and was about to call the Iron Eagle Guard to enter the palace to search, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of a drop of blood behind the soft sedan that had gone far ahead.

His face changed suddenly, and the captain rushed over with an arrow step, and said sharply inside: "Wait a minute! ”

Li Taiyin had already put his mind at ease, but he never thought that the captain would suddenly come forward.

The thin lips pursed tightly, and the index finger of his right hand was stretched out, and the sharp nails slashed across the white palm of his left hand with fifty percent internal force, and an extremely deep wound immediately appeared in the palm, and the blood flowed.

Slowly lifting the curtain, Tantai pretended to look at the captain in confusion, "Excuse me, is there anything else?" ”

The captain's face was solemn, "There are blood stains left on the place where the high priest's soft sedan passes, and I suspect that there are other people on the soft sedan besides the high priest, so ......"

Yu Taiyin's face suddenly turned cold, and his tone was cold, "So, you don't even let go of the soft sedan in this seat, right?" ”

"I don't dare." The lieutenant clenched his fists again, "It's just that for the sake of Her Majesty's safety, the humble duty thinks that there should be no negligence, otherwise letting the assassin go easily will be easily letting go of the disaster, and the humble duty cannot afford this crime." ”

The bleeding palm poked out of the window and stared at the captain with cold eyes, "You have been following Da Sima for so long, you must have seen a lot of knowledge, have you ever heard that the Wu clan is easy to go mad when practicing, and bloodletting is the easiest way to solve it?" ”

The captain's gaze fell on the palm of the hand that was full of blood, and after a while, he apologized: "Since the high priest is bleeding and exorcism, then please forgive the lowly party for recklessly rushing into it." ”

Yutai snorted coldly, lowered the curtain heavily, and coldly ordered the sedan chair man to continue walking.

After the soft sedan departed, the platform led to the wide seat to take a look, and the already gloomy face was even more frosty.

Walking to the imperial garden, the sedan chair driver suddenly ordered the sedan chair to stop, she walked out of the soft sedan chair, and said to the four people: "In order to avoid letting Her Majesty the Empress see blood, this seat plans to clean your hands and bandage by the clear pool, and you can quickly go to the Tai Hospital to help me get the medicine powder and gauze, and by the way, invite a Tai Doctor to come for this seat." ”

When the four of them heard this, they dared to question half a sentence, and ran in the direction of the Tai Hospital.

Glancing around to make sure that there was no one in this place, Yutai Yincai said to the soft sedan in a cold voice: "Get out!" Don't let me see you again! ”

The dark lattice under the seat in the soft sedan moved, and then a person walked out.

It was Chi Min.

He had already taken off his night clothes and put on his usual silver-white mask, but the damage to his inner abdomen was extremely severe, and he couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood in the dark compartment.

After getting out of the soft sedan chair, Chi Min's eyes fell on his left hand, which was covered with blood, and his brows furrowed under the mask, "Miss, you are injured." ”

"You don't want to leave yet, do you want to wait to die?" The tone of the quotation was even more condensed.

"I ......"

As soon as Chi Min spoke, he was interrupted by a cool voice from Yutai, "I don't want to hear any explanation from you now, you'd better leave immediately, otherwise people will find out, don't blame me for killing my relatives in righteousness!" ”

Without waiting for Chi Min to speak, Yu Taiyin continued: "You have been given a top-level soul chasing technique, no matter where you go, you will be found by that person, this method is too high-level, even I can't solve it, of course, it's not impossible, either you die, die, and the soul chasing technique will be automatically unlocked." ”

Chi Min closed his eyes.

"If you don't want to die, go back to Lingshan to find the patriarch." Tantai glanced at him in disgust, "From now on, I don't want to see you in the palace again." ”

"Miss......" Chi Min's expression moved slightly.

"Don't get out of here!" He showed no mercy.

"I ......" Chi Min originally wanted to open his mouth to tell the empress that the soul chasing technique on his body was under the empress, and the empress hid it deeply, and even used the fire of silence, and wanted to tell her more about the doubts about the empress.

Before he could say anything, the palanquin drivers who had just gone to the Tai Hospital had already rushed back.

Seeing that he was about to come over, Tan Tai Yin took a piece of exit token from his waist and threw it to Chi Min, "In the future, please use your brain to live, otherwise, you will be no different from a dead person, and you don't have to hide, just cut it off on the spot, the family and the empress, I have my own explanation." ”

Chi Min's body shook, and he couldn't believe that he had been by her side for many years, but now he only got a cold and heartless word.

If it weren't for the help of her to remove obstacles, why would he take such a big risk to assassinate the empress?

The footsteps of the palanquin drivers were already very close.

Chi Min restrained his thoughts, picked up the waist card and dodged into the middle of the rockery.

The palanquin bearers really brought the medicine powder and bandages, and invited the imperial doctor by the way.

At the end, let the imperial doctor help her apply the medicinal powder, and bandaged the palms of her hands, and then stood up, and after thanking the imperial doctor, she sat on the soft sedan chair and walked towards the emperor's dormitory.

Inside the Emperor's Bedchamber.

Xun Jiu was anxiously waiting for the platform to come over, and suddenly saw the flower resin hurriedly running in, Xun Jiu thought about it and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, is the high priest here?" ”

"It's not." Hua Rouge frowned and shook her head, "It's Han Dejun of Tongguang Hall who is arguing to see Her Majesty the Empress." ”

"He's sick, isn't he?" Xun Jiu was angry, and scolded what he said in his heart carelessly, and he didn't bother to change his words when he realized it.

Since the empress has been sick, the male concubines of all palaces have been banned from Fusheng, and it is strictly forbidden to step into the Tianci Palace for half a step.

"Miss Jiu, Han Dejun is the master after all......" Hua Rou's face was embarrassed.

Xun Jiu was displeased when he heard it, "Auntie, the empress is your master." What's more, King Qin had already issued an order to prohibit the male concubine from stepping into the Tianci Palace for half a step, how Han Dejun came in will not be investigated first, the key is what kind of fun he came to join in at this time, did he still put King Qin in his eyes, did he put the empress in his eyes? ”

Seeing that Hua Resin was still hesitating, Xun Jiu said impatiently: "Tell the guards to blast him out, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

"Han Dejun is the son of Da Sikong, wouldn't it be inappropriate to do this?" There was a melancholy look between the eyebrows.

"Heh-" Xun Jiu sneered, "It's all this time, what does it matter if the son of the Great Sikong, that is, the son of the Jade Emperor, is here, isn't it important to save the Empress first?" ”

"The girl has to teach her a lesson." The flower butter retreated after the promise.

Ah Zi is a killer, except for the empress, for others, she rarely has kindness and compassion.

And Hua Resin is different from Ah Zi, she has been in the palace since she was a child, and it was not easy for her to climb from an ordinary palace to today's position as a female official, and she is careful in doing things, and she can't kill and make decisions like Ah Zi.

Xun Jiu also discovered this problem, and sighed silently in his heart, if Ah Zi was not Yu Yinchen's meticulous work, then with her by the empress's side, today's assassination would not have happened.

The resin came to the outside of the emperor's bedroom.

Han Dejun, who was dressed in a light blue robe with large sleeves, raised his eyebrows and stared at her closely, "Auntie, what does Her Majesty the Empress say?" ”

Without waiting for Hua Rou to speak, he walked straight forward and said, "You don't know, that Benjun will know when you go in and explore." ”

"His Royal Highness." Hua Rebu hurriedly shouted, "Miss Jiu has ordered, Her Majesty the Empress needs to recuperate, and I don't see anyone." ”

The assassination of the empress has long been spread in the palace, but the empress's coma is kept secret, and Han Dejun always thought that the empress was awake, so he came to serve in the Tianci Palace.

As soon as Han Dejun heard Hua Rou mention Xun Jiu, he immediately snorted coldly, "What kind of thing is she, and she dares to order Benjun?" ”
