Seeing that the cold sword had pierced my throat, my skin could already feel the coldness of the tip of the sword. I looked at the sword stupidly, and I was so shocked that I forgot to react, only to hear a "dang" sound, and a stone flew out of nowhere, and shook the sword away. The Mai man was startled, suddenly looked back, the silver light flashed, and a bloody mouth suddenly bloomed on his neck, blood splattered out, and the Mai body softened and fell to the ground with a bang.

I looked up in shock, a tall figure wearing a black cloak had flashed into the battle circle besieging Yun Xun, and I didn't know what weird body technique he used, the seemingly impenetrable circle of light and shadow swords was squeezed into by him, and with his joining, the situation of Yun Xun falling to the bottom was immediately reversed. The dazzling silver light was like lightning, intertwined in the sword light and sword shadow, blocking the fragments of light and shadow that fell on Yun Xun's body one by one, like a wind and snow rolling wildly, with the momentum of thunder and thunder, between the flashes, only a few screams were heard, and three gray shadows bounced out of the light and shadow circle several meters away, and dozens of sword mouths cracked out of the whole body, and immediately dyed the linen clothes on the body, becoming three bloody people. The three of them lay on the ground, convulsed a few times, and suddenly there was no sound.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, and I covered my mouth and nose, and I felt sick to my stomach and almost vomited sour water. When he raised his eyes, he saw that Yun Xun was also covered in blood, covered with sword wounds, and his eyes were red, and after seeing those few people fall to the ground and lose his breath, his body shook and fell straight to the ground.

"Yun Xun!" I screamed, climbed out of the car, and ran to him, his blood already soaking the ground red, as if it were running endlessly. I trembled my hand over his body, probed under his nose, felt a faint breath, breathed a sigh of relief, raised my eyes to look at the man in black who was facing away from me, and said in a trembling voice: "The concubine has thanked the hero for saving his life!" ”

His body shook slightly, and he turned his head to look at me, and I saw that he was wearing that hideous silver mask on his face, and I was stunned: "It's you?" ”

He walked up to Yun Xun, squatted down to pick him up, and walked to the carriage. I followed him and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you keep saving me? ”

He didn't hear it, put Yun Xun into the carriage, turned his head, his eyes were hidden behind the mask, I couldn't see his eyes, but I knew he was looking at me. "Get in the car!" Ghostface is humane. His voice was hoarse like a rag, low and deep: "I'll send you back!" ”

"Do you know me?" I searched in my head for a long time, but I couldn't remember when I knew such a person. He turned to sit in the driver's seat and hissed, "Get in the car!" ”

I stopped asking who he was and climbed into the carriage. Ghostface drove away, and I looked at his back, feeling inexplicably relieved, and although I didn't know who he was, I didn't suspect that he would be bad for me. Maybe it's because he saved me in Iron Mountain, and he just saved me again, and I trust my instincts, he won't hurt me.

Turning my head to look at Yun Xun lying in the carriage, his blood stained the carriage red, I was shocked and scared, and from time to time I put my hand under Yun Xun's nose, for fear that he would not be able to hold on to his breath. The carriage rushed back to the Hou Mansion at a high speed, and the housekeeper guarding the door was surprised when he saw the carriage driven back by the ghost-faced man, and immediately ran over. The ghost-faced man stopped the carriage, turned to look at me, and jumped to his feet without saying a word.

"Hero!" I quickly climbed out of the car and saw his figure move swiftly like a ghost, disappearing out of the long street in an instant. The family ran to the car and exclaimed, "Young lady, what happened?" ”

I turned my head and hurriedly said, "Quickly carry Yun Xun down and inform Mr. Fu to treat his injuries!" ”

The family carried Yun Xun into the house, and Mr. Fu saw that he was covered in blood, so he put his finger on his wrist without changing his face, checked his pulse, and instructed the maid to prepare hot water. Yun Zheng, who rushed over when he heard the sound, asked, "How is it?" ”

"I lost a lot of blood and had serious internal injuries." Mr. Fu turned his head to look at me, "The young lady's face is not very good, please stretch out your hand." ”

I stretched out my hand, and Mr. Fu took my pulse for me and nodded: "It's okay." After speaking, he didn't care about me anymore, picked up the scissors, and said in a deep voice while cutting Yun Xun's blood-soaked red clothes: "Young Master Zheng, you take the young lady out, I will deal with it." ”

Yun Zheng helped me out, and I felt weak: "Yun Zheng, will Yun Xun be okay?" ”

"Mr. Fu said that if he can handle it, it should be fine." Yun Zheng's face was a little ugly, "You don't have a good face, are you scared?" ”

When I thought of the assassination just now, I felt a little scared. After returning to the room, Yun Zheng asked about the assassination, his face became colder and colder, he stood up and said softly: "You have a good rest, I'll go out for a while!" ”

"Yun Zheng!" I grabbed him and said in a trembling voice, "Where are you going?" ”

He saw my horror and patted my hand gently: "I'm just going to arrange things and I'll be back soon!" ”

"Yun Zheng!" I squeezed his hand. He sighed, sat down beside me, hugged me lightly, and asked Ning'er to call the iron guard in: "Yunkan, you go to the assassination site to check, and let the righteous steward go to Zhou's house to have a look, and let him take care of Aunt Zhou's funeral." ”

The guard exited the room. Yun Zheng hugged me tightly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

"Who is going to kill me?" I leaned into his arms with palpitations, "Isn't it Concubine De?" Or is it a celestial phase? ”

"It will be clear when Yunkan comes back." Yun Zheng gently patted my back soothingly, "I'm sorry, I'm always not by your side when you're in danger!" ”

"No, I'm glad you're not with me." I looked up at him, into his deep eyes, "If something happens to you, I don't know what to do." ”

He stared at me steadily, with a hazy pain in his eyes, and after a while, his lips gently fell to my forehead, and he sighed: "Ye'er, what should I do with you?" ”

Ning Er came in with a fetal pill, took the medicine, tiredness hit, Yun Zheng asked me to lie on the bed, I grabbed his hand, he smiled, "I won't go." ”

My heart warmed and I fell asleep with peace of mind.

When I woke up, it was dark. The red candle made a slight "crackling" sound in the lampshade, and there was no one beside me, so I sat up in shock: "Yun Zheng!" ”

"I'm here!" Turning his head, he saw him come in from outside the screen, sat down on the side of the bed, and smiled, "Woke up?" ”

"What are you doing?" I reached out and hugged his waist. He smiled lowly, took off his shoes and got into the bed, and hugged me into his arms, "I'm reading the information sent by the deacon. ”

"Huh? Information in the palace eighteen years ago? Did you deliver it? I looked up in surprise, Yun Zheng nodded, and I leaned into his arms, "What does the information say?" ”

"What happened in Concubine Yao's palace is the same as what we found." Yun Zheng said lightly, "Concubine Yao of Fuyang Palace, gave birth to a two-headed deformed fetus, the first emperor was angry, regarded as unknown, and killed the palace people to extinguish the mouth. Yao Guifei was confined to Fuyang Palace, and after March. ”

"What about Concubine Murong?" I hurriedly said, "What's the matter with Concubine Murong?" ”

"Concubine Murong Xian of the Pinxian Palace, cursed Yao Guifei with witchcraft, and in the fetal talisman worn by Concubine Xian, there was a witch curse and Yao Guifei's birthday. Concubine Xian refused to admit her guilt, the first emperor was angry with her viciousness, and she did not know how to repent, so she gave three feet of white silk, and the palace people were killed with a cane, and strictly ordered the palace people not to privately spread the affairs of these two halls. Yun Zheng frowned and said softly.

"Witchcraft?" I frowned. Throughout the history I know, witchcraft seems to have been a taboo for all emperors. If it is found that any concubine or palace person is using witchcraft to harm people in the palace, it will definitely die a miserable death. But does witchcraft really work? As far as the information we have found so far, it can at least be proved that Yao Guifei's deformity and cause of death were the radiation of the radioactive substance, not the witch Gu, she slept on the jade pillow every day, and the victim was naturally the deepest, and it had nothing to do with the witch Gu.

"Hmm." Yun Zheng nodded. I remembered the information I asked Mama Fang Ting in the palace when I fell into the water, and my mind suddenly became clear: "By the way, that Mama Fang Ting said that Concubine Xian Niangniang was weak and not easy to get pregnant, so after she became pregnant, Mrs. Taifu made a special trip to ask for a fetal charm for her, could it be that this fetal charm caused trouble?" ”

"That's right." Yun Zheng said softly, "This can also explain why the Murong Taifu family is full of crimes." If the fetal talisman was sent to the palace by Concubine Murong's family, in the eyes of the first emperor, it was Concubine Murong and the concubine who conspired to harm his favorite concubine and imperial heir, so the first emperor would hold a grudge against the entire Murong family. ”

"That talisman, is it really a conspiracy between Concubine Xian and her family?" I shook my head, "If it were her, would she put such a time bomb on her?" This could be discovered at any time, could she be so stupid? ”

But the first emperor would not think so. He would think that Concubine Xian has been favored for many years, and Concubine Yao will enjoy the glory alone after entering the palace, and other concubines will be fine, but Concubine Xian can't stand it the most, so she wants to harm Concubine Yao. Yun Zheng chuckled.

"The Emperor's arrogant thoughts!" I said disdainfully, "He thought that everyone revolved around him, and everyone lived for him!" ”

"The women in the harem are supposed to revolve around the emperor and live for the emperor." Yun Zheng smiled, "There is nothing wrong with the emperor thinking so, his deep-rooted education is like this. ”

Yes, I look at the problem from the perspective of a modern person, but I ignore what a special kind of person the emperor is and what a special environment the palace is.

"If there is a problem with this fetal talisman, there is only one reason, this talisman has been replaced." I analyzed, "Only in this way can Concubine Murong be confused." That talisman was sent to the palace by her family, how could she say it clearly. ”

"Well, we want to get it, and Concubine Murong must also want it, so she refuses to admit her guilt, but she can't find the evidence that has been replaced, and the first emperor will only think that she is making up words." Yun Zheng said slowly.

"Therefore, the first emperor's anger condemned Concubine Murong and Murong's whole family, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is just a superficial crime instructed by the first emperor, because Concubine Murong used witchcraft to harm Yao Guifei to give birth to a deformed fetus, which is related to the face of the royal family, and it will never be put on the table." The more I thought about it, the clearer my thinking became, "And the three presiding judges, who angered the first emperor during the trial of the case, were demoted and exiled, must have doubts about the evidence of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and originally wanted to be impartial and adhere to principles, but I didn't expect that there was such an inside story, but it was not tolerated by the first emperor, and the innocent was implicated." ”

"Not bad." Yun Zheng nodded and said with a smile, "It's so smart, you can make sense at one point." ”

I smiled and gave him a wink, then frowned, "If that's the case, what should we do?" ”

"How?" Yun Zheng gently stroked the messy hair on my forehead. I sat up straight and said, "If that's the truth, what should we do?" We deduced these things through the Yun family's data, where do we go to find evidence to prove these inferences? ”

Without evidence, everything we say is empty words. The information on the Yun family's intelligence must not let the emperor know that the Yun family has such a powerful intelligence network, which emperor Yanjing is afraid of. So, where do we go to find evidence?
