Chapter 164: The Assassin (Part II)
Emperor Yuan was stunned: "Qi Zheng! ”
The assassin was stunned, suddenly pulled out his sword, and looked at Fu Qizheng in a daze.
A large number of guards outside the palace rushed over: "There are assassins, quickly, protect the emperor." ”
The assassin stabbed Emperor Yuan with his sword again, and when the sword approached, Fu Qizheng stood in front of him, and the assassin quickly withdrew his hand when he saw the situation, seeing that the guards were about to rush in, and there was no chance to attack, so he fled through the window.
"Qizheng." Emperor Yuan hugged Fu Qizheng, and the blood stains on his shirt were particularly dazzling.
Seeing that the assassin had fled, Fu Qizheng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Emperor Yuan and smiled slightly: "The concubine is fine, just a little injury." ”
Li Changhai came in with the palace maid and the inner eunuch, and when he saw this scene, he was frightened, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty again and again: "The slave should die, the slave should die." ”
"Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Emperor Yuan let Fu Qizheng lie down, carefully took off her clothes, and examined the wound, although the wound was not big, it was still oozing blood, and Emperor Yuan's hands and sleeves were mottled with blood.
The palace maid moved a screen to block the bed, and the imperial doctor rushed over: "Your Majesty, the mother is injured on the skin, and the top priority is to let the palace maid give medicine to the mother to stop bleeding and bandage." The Imperial Physician hurriedly presented the medicine.
"I'm coming." Emperor Yuan took the medicine bottle and said to Fu Qizheng, "Bear with it." ”
Fu Qizheng nodded lightly, but the end of the medicine was sprinkled on the wound, and the pain was really unbearable, even if he clenched his teeth and didn't say a word, he still had tears rolling in pain, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Your Majesty, General Qi asks to see you."
"Let him wait."
Emperor Yuan finished applying medicine to Fu Qizheng and carefully bandaged the wound before leaving the palace.
The maid lowered the curtain. The Imperial Physician stepped forward to ask for a pulse.
Fu Qizheng recalled the scene just now, but he was still frightened and closed his eyes. But the scene kept coming to mind, she obviously felt that the assassin was trying to kill her with a sword more and more, why he suddenly drew his sword and didn't dare to hurt her again, Fu Qizheng couldn't figure it out.
When Qi Huanyi saw the blood stains on Emperor Yuan's hands and clothes, he was shocked: "Is the emperor injured?" ”
"I'm fine, it's the concubine who hurts."
Qi Huanyi was even more shocked: "The concubine is ...... her"
"Did the assassin catch it?"
"Back to the emperor, the assassin is strong in martial arts. The incompetence of the ministers allowed him to escape, but when the Assassins broke out of the siege. He has been seriously injured and is still hiding in the palace, and the minister has ordered someone to search for him. ”
Emperor Yuan was furious: "So many guards can't catch an assassin? I ask you again how the Assassin was able to infiltrate my palace so easily. Are all the dead people guarding outside? ”
Qi Huanyi knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Weichen deserves to die." There were many guards outside the Qianning Palace, but the assassin was cunning and took advantage of the guards' surprise to enter through the window of the Lizheng Palace. “
Emperor Yuan said coldly. "I'll give you three days, and you must capture the assassin, or I'll only ask you."
"Obey."
The imperial doctor came out and said that it was a traumatic injury and did not hurt the vital point, and there was no major problem.
Emperor Yuan was relieved, returned to the dormitory, sat on the side of the bed and looked at Fu Qizheng with concern: "Does it still hurt?" ”
Fu Qizheng shook his head: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The concubine is fine. ”
Emperor Yuan frowned: "Do you know what the consequences of that sword will be if it goes down three inches further." ”
Fu Qizheng smiled: "It's not a pity that the concubine died. The emperor can't have anything to do, not to mention that the concubines have a big life and are destined to die. He looked out the window in a blink of an eye, it was almost dawn, and said, "The concubine should go back." ”
Emperor Yuan immediately said: "Stay, I will take care of you, and heal your injuries first, not to mention that the assassin has not been caught yet, only here is the safest." ”
"This is the emperor's bedroom, how can the concubines occupy the magpie's nest."
Emperor Yuan lightly hugged Fu Qizheng and said slowly: "Your life is all saved by you, what else can't be given to you." ”
The palace was alarmed, not long after dawn, all the concubines rushed to the Qianning Palace to say hello, although they were stopped outside the Qianning Palace, but most of them presented all kinds of so-called healing medicines.
"Your Majesty, let Concubine Xian come in, so that she doesn't worry." Fu Qizheng said.
Emperor Yuan agreed, and said: "I will go to the court to discuss matters, stay well, don't think about slipping." Glancing at the palace maids waiting in the hall, he said to Fu Qizheng, "If you leave, they will all die." ”
Although it was a threatening word, it was also warm in his heart, Fu Qizheng nodded with a smile. After Emperor Yuan left. He Youzhu hurriedly came in and said anxiously: "I only heard that Niangniang was injured, where it hurt, it doesn't matter if it hurts." ”
Fu Qizheng said: "Didn't I sit here properly? Then he sent away the maidservants of the temple and asked, "Are they all gone?" ”
"The emperor is gone, how can they stay." He Youzhu said worriedly, "I heard that the assassins infiltrated to assassinate the emperor, and now the forbidden army is searching everywhere, and even you are injured, and the palace is already panicking." ”
"It's a female assassin, who keeps saying that she wants to avenge the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and most of the remnants of the Southern Jin Dynasty." Fu Qizheng thought for a while, and couldn't help frowning, "There is one thing I still can't figure out." ”
He Youzhu then asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Fu Qizheng looked worried: "That assassin obviously wanted to kill me at first, but after she heard my name, she couldn't do it, and then she didn't seem to dare to hurt me in the slightest, because I was in front of the emperor, she didn't succeed." ”
"Could it be ......" He Youzhu worried.
Fu Qizheng shook his head: "At first, I thought there was a trick behind this, but after thinking about it carefully, if it is a conspiracy, then most of the assassins are dead soldiers, and they should throw themselves into the net without searching and arresting them, and then say that they were instructed by me, but she was seriously injured and refused to be arrested, obviously trying to escape for her life." ”
He Youzhu thought for a while and said, "Maybe she has injured you by mistake, and it won't be enough to push it on you, so I have to give up." ”
Although this is reasonable, Fu Qizheng vaguely feels that it is not that simple, but the truth of everything can only be known when the assassin is captured.
Three days had passed, and the Assassins had disappeared without a trace, and the Forbidden Army had found nothing to arrest them.
Thinking of what Emperor Yuan said to Qi Huanyi that day, Fu Qizheng couldn't help but become worried, looked at Emperor Yuan and asked, "Does the emperor want to condemn General Qi?" ”
"Of course, if an assassin infiltrates the palace, it is his dereliction of duty, and now he can't catch the assassin, and the crime is one more degree."
"The concubine has never pleaded with the emperor, this time the concubine wants to ask the emperor to open up and forgive General Qi." Fu Qizheng pleaded.
"Why do you intercede for him?"
"If it weren't for General Qi and his brother sacrificing their lives to save each other, I'm afraid the concubine wouldn't have been able to return to the palace."
"Even so, the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped." Emperor Yuan is the color of the road.
Fu Qizheng frowned: "Isn't the concubine's love the same as not asking for it, the last time the concubine was caught in the cold, didn't the emperor say that he would promise the concubine everything?" This is a reversal. After saying that, he pretended to be angry and turned sideways, "Ah! Instantly pressed the wound and couldn't help crying out in pain, wanting to cry without tears, only caring about the temperament, but completely forgetting that there was an injury.
