Weining Hou Mansion.

Ji Ze sat in the study, practicing his words leisurely.

A figure quietly flashed into the study and whispered: "Shizi, everything has been arranged." If it goes well, the good news will soon be heard. ”

Ji Ze hummed casually, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

For more than a month, he has been holding back and staying in the Hou Mansion in peace, just to lower Wei Ninghou's vigilance and wait for the best opportunity.

Tonight, obviously, is the best chance.

Marquis Weining entered the palace to visit Concubine Ji Xian, and was assassinated when he left the palace. The Assassins did not leave any survivors, and even took the corpses with them. I only picked up a piece of the waist card of the Chu Palace's mansion on the ground

It can not only get rid of the Marquis of Weining, but also splash this basin of dirty water on the head of the King of Chu, remove obstacles for the King of Qin to compete for the prince, and completely muddy the pool of water in the capital. What a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone!

And he, he doesn't have to do anything. Just sit back and wait for the bad news of Wei Ninghou's assassination, and then show the pathos and anger that a son should have.

Thinking of the dead little Zou and the child in her belly, Ji Ze's eyes flashed with a cruel cold light

Time slipped by, bit by bit.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves pierced the silence of the Marquis of Weining's mansion. A soldier covered in blood slipped off his horse and fell to the ground with a thud, his voice almost tragic: "Open the door!" ”

The concierge steward was frightened, and hurriedly shouted for someone to help the soldiers into the house.

This pro-soldier is a cronie around Wei Ninghou, and the porter naturally knows him. At this time, seeing the miserable and terrifying appearance of his own soldiers, he panicked in his heart: "What happened?" ”

The soldier gritted his teeth, and his eyes shone with grief and indignation: "Hurry up and help me to see the son." I have something urgent to report. ”

The porter immediately called two small servants to come and helped the soldiers to go to Qianyunju.

Blood was constantly dripping from the soldiers' bodies, and the blood stains where they walked were frightening.

When the soldiers saw Ji Ze, they knelt down with a plop, tears rolling in their eyes, and they choked up: "Qi Qi Shizi." Hou Ye Hou Ye met assassins after leaving the palace, and the small ones desperately protected Hou Ye to break through. But the other side has a lot of manpower, and we are not opponents at all. All of them died. Only the little one escaped and came back to report to the son"

Ji Zehuo Ran changed color, got up abruptly and strode over: "Father, how is he now?" ”

The soldier burst into tears. He couldn't even say anything: "Master Hou escaped for a while." The Assassins gave chase. Now I don't know whether I live or die, and I ask the prince to take someone to save the Hou Ye immediately, I'm afraid that it's too late."

"These people dare to assassinate at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is simply bold!" Ji Ze's face was pale, and his eyes flashed with anger: "You tell me the specific location, and I will immediately lead someone to save my father." ”

After the soldier gave the approximate location, he fainted from excessive blood loss.

Ji Ze ordered someone to carry his soldiers down to treat his injuries, and then quickly led a group of guards out of the house to save people.

The assassination of Wei Ninghou. Almost immediately, it spread throughout the palace, and everyone was horrified. Gu Caiping was quite calm. Ji Yu was frightened, and hurriedly got dressed and went to Yilan Courtyard.

At this time, I don't care if I have a match with Hanyu, such an important matter must be known to Hanyu.

Hanyu also heard the bad news, and her face turned pale, but she was much calmer than Ji Yulai, who was in a panic: "Third Miss, don't panic first, the prince has already led someone to save Master Hou." Hou Yefu has a big life, and he will be fine. ”

Where does Ji Yu still have an idea, she only knows how to cry and wipe her tears.

The mother is already dead, in case of any accident to the father, the sky of the Weining Marquis Mansion will fall

Hanyu took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and ordered someone to send a letter to Ji Huan and Ji Yu. After thinking about it, he sent someone to the Zou family's old house to send a letter to Xu's mother and son.

After doing this, Hanyu comforted Ji Yu in a low voice

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Weining Hou Mansion.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for Ji Ze to rescue Wei Ninghou safely.

Hanyu became more and more cold-hearted the more she waited, others didn't know the grievances between Ji Ze and Wei Ninghou, but she knew it.

The assassination of Wei Ninghou came too suddenly, and it was too strange. Who is it that has such a deep hatred with Wei Ninghou that he is willing to take such a big risk to assassinate Wei Ninghou?

The vague conjecture in his heart was so shocking that Hanyu didn't dare to tell it at all.

When the sky was bright, Ji Huan and Ji Yu rushed back to the Hou Mansion. Not only their sisters, but also their husbands. Ji Huan's eyes were red, Ji Yu was about to give birth, and she still insisted on rushing back. Along the way, he probably had a tire gas, and his face was very ugly.

Hanyu looked frightened for a while, and said a bunch of good words to comfort Ji Yu: "The prince has already led someone to save the Hou Ye, maybe he will come back soon." Second Miss, please don't worry. ”

How could she not be in a hurry? That's her father!

Ji Yu choked up with red eyes: "If my father has three long and two short, what should we do?" ”

No one can answer this question.

Hanyu's eyes flashed with water. After she married Wei Ninghou as a concubine, Wei Ninghou has always treated her very well. People's hearts are flesh and blood, and she gradually developed affection for Wei Ninghou, and also regarded him as her support in this life.

If Wei Ninghou really had an accident, even if the three Ji Yu sisters were sad for a while, they would always live well. If you lose your reliance, your future is truly uncertain

The porter ran in.

Hanyu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Did the prince save the Hou Ye and come back?" ”

The little guy replied, "The prince hasn't come back yet, it's Mrs. Xu who has brought Miss Biao here." ”

Obviously, Xu Jinyu also rushed here after receiving the message. Hanyu's heart warmed, and he hurriedly said, "Invite them in." ”

Soon, Zou and Xu Jinyu entered the inner hall.

Zou and Wei Ninghou are not familiar with each other, and although they are shocked by the assassination of Wei Ninghou, they have nothing to worry about. In fact. If it weren't for Xu Jinyu's urging to rush to the Weining Marquis Mansion, the Zou family wouldn't have planned to come so early.

Zou muttered in his heart, his face showing worry and concern at the right time. I greeted everyone one by one.

When Ji Yu saw Xu Jinyu, her eyes turned red, and she cried and threw herself into Xu Jinyu's arms: "Cousin Jin"

Xu Jinyu hugged Ji Yu and looked at Hanyu while whispering comfort.

Between the four eyes, the anxiety that flowed through each other's hearts.

This assassination came too strangely. This person who secretly poisoned Wei Ninghou is very likely to be Ji Ze. Ji Ze led people to save Wei Ninghou in the end. Or do you want to completely take Wei Ninghou's life?

Receiving a message from Hanyu late at night, no one knew the shock in Xu Jinyu's heart.

At this time in his previous life, Wei Ninghou had already died at the border pass. He never returned to the capital at all, and naturally he was not assassinated.

With her rebirth in this life, many things have quietly changed. It also made her, who had always been confident, surprised and uneasy. So, after she received the message. Get up and get dressed right away. rushed to the Weining Marquis Mansion.

After appeasing the crying Ji Yu, Xu Jinyu walked to Hanyu's side and said in a low voice: "Aunt Yu, please don't panic, Ji people have their own natural appearance, and Master Hou will definitely be safe." ”

Speaking of which, Hanyu's performance is already commendable.

Hearing such bad news, I didn't panic, and I was able to calm down.

Hanyu smiled bitterly. Cheered up and said: "I hope so, I also hope that the son of the world can save the Hou Ye safely." ”

That being said. But both of them knew in their hearts that Ji Ze was ruthless. If it was really Ji Ze who secretly made a move on Wei Ninghou, Wei Ninghou would definitely be more than lucky

At this moment, Ji Yu suddenly screamed in pain.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly gathered around. Li Rui rushed over almost in an arrow step and held Ji Yu.

Xu Jinyu asked anxiously, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ji Yu covered her stomach with her hands, and her eyes showed pain: "I have a stomachache, probably because I am about to give birth."

Ji Yu was supposed to give birth in the past few days, but on the way here, she had another fetal gas, and she had an early attack.

Li Rui panicked: "Auntie, I'll take you back to the house." ”

"Cousin-in-law, by all means!" Xu Jinyu frowned and said, "Cousin Yu's stomach has begun to hurt, and she will give birth soon, so she can't help but get up and run back and forth." It's safer to stay in the Hou Mansion. It just so happened that my cousin-in-law had two midwives by her side, so I asked the two of them to come over to deliver my cousin. ”

Li Rui had no master, and nodded again and again.

Xu Jinyu looked at Hanyu: "Aunt Yu, time is urgent, please find the nearest yard immediately and order someone to arrange the delivery room to boil hot water." Let someone send a letter to the Li Mansion again. ”

Hanyu also quickly came back to his senses and nodded in response.

The closest courtyard to the inner hall is the Tinglan Courtyard where Xiao Zou lived before his death.

The most important thing in the house is people, more than a dozen maids less than a stick of incense, they clean the house, boil hot water and prepare towels, etc., everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

Ji Yu was carried into the temporary delivery room, and the two midwives were also called over.

In general, men are not allowed to enter the delivery room. Li Rui insisted on coming in to accompany his wife, holding Ji Yu's hand tightly, and wiping Ji Yu's sweat with the other hand. was engrossed, and there was no one else in his eyes except Ji Yu.

Xu Jinyu saw it in her eyes, and was secretly happy for Ji Yu in her heart.

It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover. Ji Yu is really blessed to be accompanied by such a beloved

Ji Yu had a stomachache, and she couldn't give birth to a child for a while.

Xu Jinyu, Hanyu and others were waiting outside the delivery room, thinking of Wei Ninghou, whose life and death were uncertain, and everyone's hearts were heavy.

Xu Jinyu and Wei Ninghou are not familiar with each other, but if Wei Ninghou is dead, Ji Ze will no longer have any scruples, and will not only attack Hanyu in the future, but will not let her and Xu Zheng go.

Hanyu was also uneasy, looking at the door from time to time. It was as if Wei Ninghou would appear there at any time.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Hurried footsteps sounded at the door, and the porter hurried in.

"What's the news?" Han Yuli asked calmly.

The porter replied, "The prince has sent a message back." ”

Without waiting for Hanyu to speak, Ji Yu hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and let the messenger come in." ”

The one who sent the letter back was Ji Ze's long-term entourage. Chang Sui was about to salute, and Ji Huan said anxiously: "Okay, no need to salute." What kind of message did Yutang ask you to send back? Did my father save him? ”

The chief didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded: "The prince led the guards to look for it all night, but he didn't find the Hou Ye's people. I went to the Criminal Department early this morning to report the case, and the Criminal Department took over the case and sent someone to check the clues. The prince did not return to the house, and went to the court with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and reported the matter to the emperor for determination. ”

Hearing the news, everyone's hearts sank.

After looking for it all night, I still haven't found Wei Ninghou, does this mean that Wei Ninghou is already more than lucky?

Ji Yu suddenly burst into tears.

Although Wei Ninghou was cold and indifferent to her, he was her father after all. Thinking that Wei Ninghou might have died, Ji Yu suddenly felt sad.

Ji Huan's eyes turned red. Gu Caiping, who was on the side, also wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Hanyu's body shook slightly.

A warm hand held her cold hand, and Xu Jinyu's voice sounded in her ear: "Anyway, this is also good news." Although he didn't find Hou Ye, he didn't see Hou Ye's body either. Maybe Hou Ye was just injured and escaped. ”

Ji Yu choked up and retorted: "If my father was injured and fled, why didn't he flee back to the house!" ”

Xu Jinyu was choked on a rare time.

Hanyu came back to her senses, took a deep breath and said, "Third Miss, don't worry, I think what Jin Niang said makes sense." If you want to see people alive and die to see corpses, no news is good news. As long as you don't see Hou Ye's body with your own eyes, it means that Hou Ye is not dead. We can't panic, we have to wait for the Hou Ye to come back with peace of mind. ”

Ji Yu was still sobbing and crying, but her voice was a little quieter.

Xu Jinyu glanced at Hanyu approvingly.

It is not easy to maintain calm in the face of danger at such a time. It's a pity that Chen Yuanzhao is not in the capital, and no one can secretly investigate the matter. All we can do now is wait for news

The assassination of Wei Ninghou in the middle of the night was not only a major case that shocked the Criminal Department, but also made hundreds of civil and military officials feel empathy and be very angry.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the important ministers of the court were assassinated after leaving the palace. It can be seen that it is arrogant and vicious. The culprits must be identified and brought to justice. Otherwise, won't everyone be in danger in the future?

Ji Ze knelt in the Jinluan Palace, his face was haggard, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help choking out: "My father's whereabouts are unknown now, and he must have fallen into the hands of bandits." The minister implored the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly and save the minister's father. ”

It is rare for the emperor to have the energy to go to the court, and when he heard such a sensational thing, he was suddenly furious, his face was blue with anger, and he was furious in the court: "Okay! First assassinated the crown prince, and now he is the courtier who assassinated me, wouldn't the next step be to enter the palace to assassinate me? Lang Lang Qiankun, it is rampant by villains! I, the Son of Heaven, have no shame in facing the ministers and the people of the world! ”

The civil and military officials suddenly knelt down: "The emperor is angry." (To be continued......)
