Chapter 79: Assassin of the East Palace

Because of the topic left by the White Queen, Concubine Shu and the eldest prince's family were silent for a while, and the others did not speak, and the family banquet suddenly became quiet.

Emperor Wenzong saw that he was suddenly cold, turned his head and stared at the queen fiercely, with a look of anger and disgust, he felt that the white queen was not interesting, and just wanted to speak, he saw a palace man hurriedly walking in with the head of the East Palace, Gonggong Liu.

As soon as Gonggong Liu came in, he first saluted the emperor and queen, and then turned to Qin Hao in an anxious voice and said, "Your Highness, just now there was an assassin in the East Palace, who broke into the study and committed murder. ”

"Who is so bold? Did the Assassins ever take it? Qin Haoteng stood up suddenly, so anxious that he couldn't care about God, and asked sharply.

Emperor Wenzong and the White Empress couldn't help but lean forward, listening with concern, the others looked at each other, I don't know which one this is playing, the Nuo Great Palace, which is heavily guarded, can actually let the assassins run to the East Palace, and kill people, are the Imperial Forest Army and Ouchi guards in the palace all decorations?

The commanders of the Imperial Forest Army and the Ouchi guards, the people arranged by the second prince and the eighth prince respectively, heard about the assassin, these two people were particularly nervous, if the assassin killed the crown prince Qin Hao tonight, then it would be okay to sacrifice a commander. But now that the prince and his wife are here, it is a big loss to die an insignificant person and take advantage of his cronies.

In recent years, almost all the manpower in the capital is arranged by the eldest prince, and the other princes can't intervene, after Qin Hao was made the crown prince, the troops were transferred in the capital, etc., personnel changes, it happened that the two commanders were vacant, and the eldest prince and the prince were in dispute, so they had the opportunity to install two people, and as a result, there were assassins in the East Palace, and these two positions could not be kept.

Everyone is not stupid, several people here thought that tonight was the family banquet of Concubine Shuti, what did this mother and son mean? Calling everyone to the palace won't be to save the prince and his wife, right? It's ridiculous too.

"Who was killed?" Qin Hao asked.

"The one who was killed was the palace man who was waiting in the study, his name was Xiao Yue, the assassin didn't know how to enter the East Palace tonight, and when the guards arrived, he had already broken into the back garden of the study to commit murder, and the minions were incompetent, and he committed suicide after the people took it, and he couldn't ask anything."

"Father, mother, this kind of thing happened to the East Palace, and the sons are going to retire first." Qin Hao turned around and said goodbye to Emperor Wenzong and Empress Bai.

"Well, go back and have a look, and let someone check the details of this assassin. When this happens, the guards in the palace are negligent in their duties, and they are also responsible. "The East Palace is very close to the Inner Palace, today this assassin traveled all the way to the East Palace, and An Zhi will not come to the Inner Palace to his own bedroom tomorrow? Emperor Wenzong was furious and issued a stern order.

Qin Hao was ordered to retire.

The eldest prince watched them slowly move away, and couldn't hide his disappointment in his heart, couldn't he kill Han Jinwen with such a precise arrangement? Did the idiot who was sent kill the wrong person or was he discovered before he had time to kill?

The Li family followed Qin Hao away, hurried all the way, followed Qin Hao, there were assassins in the East Palace, if the prince was in the study tonight, wouldn't it be dangerous? It's a pity that it was Xiaoyue who died, if it was Han Jinwen, it would be fine.

Li wanted to ask Qin Hao if he had any guesses, but seeing that his face was frosty, he didn't dare to say anything.

The two got into the carriage and returned to the East Palace, and Gonggong Liu had already arrived first, bringing a few guards to greet him at the door.

"You go back and rest first." Qin Hao turned his head to Li and said.

"Your Highness......" Li looked at Qin Hao without saying anything, although the assassin took it, she was still afraid, shouldn't he accompany him?

"I'll go and see what the situation of the assassins is first, you go back and let Mama Li accompany you to rest earlier, now that there are more guards, there will be no more assassins coming in."

"Okay, Your Highness should also be careful and rest early." Li Shi looked at the people around him, persuaded him softly, and led the people back to the main courtyard dormitory.

Qin Hao said "follow me", and walked into the study with four or five people, including Gonggong Liu, Jixiang and the captain of the East Palace guard, and the assassin fell to the ground, but he was actually dressed in the clothes of the Inner Court Division, and there were three carved arrows on his legs and arms, and the arrow wounds were not fatal.

"Where did this man come from?"

"Your Highness, as you expected, this assassin is very familiar with the road of our East Palace, and he disguised himself as the Inner Court Division to deliver things, and directly touched the residence of Han Nushi in the backyard of the study. When I met Xiaoyue in the courtyard, I killed someone directly, and then entered Han Nushi's house, saw that there was no one in the house, and was blocked by the guards when I wanted to run. This guy is very good, and he also injured a few of us, and after the arrow ran away, he took medicine and cut himself. Gonggong Liu first said, "It's the slave who didn't think about it, and he didn't expect that he was hiding poison on his body in advance, and he couldn't leave a living mouth." “

"I don't blame you for this, but have you checked his identity?" It looks like it's likely to be a dead man, and it's not easy for this kind of person to pry his mouth open even if he catches it alive.

"I've checked, there is no such person in the inner court, his waist card is stolen from someone else." Jixiang has already found someone to recognize, and found the owner of the waist card according to the waist card, which is naturally not this person.

"Didn't all the people who arranged for the servants here have left? Why is this palace person still in the courtyard? ”

"Your Highness, the servant did as you ordered, as soon as you and Niangniang entered the palace, let everyone here stay in the big cover room behind the study, and arrange for someone to send Han Nushi to Baifu. Satsuki had been staying with the others, but she told the steward that she was going to take something and return to the courtyard, only to meet the Assassin. By the way, she still has a packet of medicine in her hand, and the slave showed it to the imperial doctor, which is a medicine that sterilizes people. “

Qin Hao naturally knew that Xiao Yue was arranged by the crown princess to take care of Jinwen, and now that he heard that she actually had this medicine in her hand, how could a palace person have this kind of medicine? I couldn't help but be a little disappointed in Li's again.

Yesterday, I knew that there was a family banquet in the palace tonight, and it was a dinner party held by Concubine Shuniang after the eldest prince entered the palace, and Qin Hao knew that there was no good banquet. Judging from all kinds of things, the eldest brother didn't seem to be in a hurry to deal with himself, but was in a hurry to kill Han Jinwen, and sure enough, at the dinner, Concubine Shu's family sang and harmonized, wanting to lead the conversation and let Wenzong kill Han Jinwen, and at the same time sent assassins to attack, which is equivalent to preparing with both hands, and Han Jinwen must be put to death.

Concubine Shu's mother and son have relied on their father's favor over the years, and they have done a lot of stupid things, but they have never been so impatient, what is there in Han Jinwen or Han Jin's hand that makes this mother and son so nervous?

He also planned to arrange for Han Jinwen to leave the palace, so he simply planned and followed Qin Xian's plan, the assassin made a fuss, but he unexpectedly gained the two positions of commander of the Imperial Forest Army and commander of the inner guard, and he had to think carefully about who could replace these two positions.
