Chapter 472: Another Encounter with an Assassin
Nie Shuyao was happy, pursed her lips and said, "How can I have that ability, Father-in-law Yu is the manager." ”
Yu Zhong said with a sad face: "Alas! Where do the slaves and maids find that...... Poison. ”
Nie Shuyao said softly: "Go find Xun Ze, he is a miracle doctor, he has studied this poison for many years, and he will know it when he smells it." Don't say it, you didn't look at the things in Zhang Meiren's room. ”
Yu Zhong suddenly understood, and thanked Nie Shuyao with his hand.
Nie Shuyao didn't say a word along the way, and after returning to Ningshou Palace, they told Empress Dowager Zhang what happened in Yingchun Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhang sneered, "Master Pang still wants to repeat the old tricks, but she forgot that the mourning family is not dead!" ”
Several people accompanied Empress Dowager Zhang and talked for another quarter of an hour, and Nie Shuyao asked to leave the palace.
Empress Dowager Zhang took out a token and said, "Okay, you must not be at ease at home." Come, this is the token of the mourning family, with it, Shu Yao can enter the palace at any time without passing it on. ”
Nie Shuyao took it happily, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”
When Empress Dowager Zhang heard her say this, she glanced at her again, and pretended to be angry: "Call the queen mother!" ”
Nie Shuyao smiled slightly and changed her words: "Yes, Queen Mother." ”
The little palace maid who has her own Ningshou Palace leads them to the queen, and of course she has to go to the queen to say hello once she enters the palace.
Walking on the way to Kunning Palace, Zhu Xian frowned and whispered, "Auntie, I'd better go back to Houfu with you." Hyuna doesn't like to live here. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Cong grabbed his hand and said, "No, if you leave, I'll be left alone, stay with me!" ”
The corners of Nie Shuyao's mouth curved, and Zhu Cong's words at this time were a bit like what a child who had just turned thirteen said. said: "When you can get out of the palace safely." Houfu is always welcome. ”
Zhu Xian immediately said: "I still have to go to the detective agency with the imperial brother, auntie, you don't know, the imperial brother likes to be a detective." ”
"Good! Aunt accompanies you. Nie Shuyao casually agreed.
Although something like that happened in the Spring Palace. But they were in a good mood and were not intimidated. The Nie Shuyao sisters and brothers are also accustomed to this kind of case, and the Zhu Cong brothers have grown up in the palace since they were children, and there should be a lot of such private opinions.
Only Nie Tianxi was a little lost, and Nie Shuyao shook his hand and whispered, "Let's talk about it when we go out." ”
Jiang Wan'er was waiting outside the palace gate of Ningshou Palace since she came in, only she didn't know what was going on, she was following a few people and looking around vigilantly.
Every time she entered the palace, she felt uncomfortable all over. It was as if there were a pair of eyes staring at her all the time. Therefore, she walked in the palace and never let her guard down. Even when standing at the gates of the palaces as pillars.
The weather is fine today, and I don't feel cool when the breeze blows, Zhu Xian talked about some small things outside the palace while walking, and several people listened quietly. Say a word or two every now and then. The atmosphere was quite congenial.
When she was about to arrive at Kunning Palace, Nie Shuyao felt that the flow of air was a little wrong, and when she looked up, a flying knife flew towards her. If she dodge, this flying knife will definitely pierce Zhu Xian beside her.
When Nie Shuyao was in a dilemma, when she was about to fight to get injured and not move her steps, Jiang Wan'er came first and flew the flying knife with a branch.
Then. Nie Shuyao heard their shouts.
"Sister!"
"Auntie!"
Nie Tianxi and Zhu Xian hugged her first, and this flying knife scared the two of them half to death.
Nie Shuyao just breathed a sigh of relief. Another flying knife flew towards Zhu Cong in front of him. Behind the flying knife is a long sword, and the person holding the sword is also a palace maid who is not good-looking, but her moves look like those used by regular killers.
"The Great Prince!"
Only then did Nie Shuyao and the others know that the real target of this assassin was Zhu Cong.
At the last moment, Jiang Wan'er blocked Zhu Cong and flew the first flying knife. At this moment, the secret guards guarding Zhu Cong appeared, and the assassin's sword could not get any closer.
Nie Shuyao and the three of them were busy protecting Zhu Cong, who was a little stunned, she was worried, but don't be really stupid.
"The eldest prince, are you alright?" Nie Shuyao took his hand and asked.
Zhu Cong still didn't react.
Nie Shuyao knew that this child was really scared, and it was not the first time she had seen this state, so she pinched it hard and said loudly: "The eldest prince!" The Great Prince!! ”
Zhu Cong came back to his senses after a while, and after seeing Nie Shuyao and Zhu Xian, the corners of his mouth flattened, and he almost cried. "Xian'er, aunt!"
Although he has pretended to be stupid for a few years, he has always been in Kunning Palace for nothing, and he is mostly accompanied by people when he goes out. I've heard gossip, but I've never encountered it.
Zhu Xian took his hand and cried: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang! It's all right, it's all right! ”
Nie Shuyao also held his other hand and comforted: "It's all over." ”
After Jiang Wan'er saw the secret guards dispatched, she stood beside them and opened her vigilance.
Seeing that the assassin had already been overturned, she also took poison and died when she was restrained, and the scene was not very bloody. When the regular guards in the palace arrived, everything was over.
Then, it was another assassin hunter.
Nie Shuyao and the others came to Kunning Palace under the protection of the guards, and there were assassins in the palace who spread throughout the palace in just a quarter of an hour.
Queen Xia was so anxious that she walked around the palace, and she was always relieved to see that the two brothers Zhu Cong were safe and sound. Soon, Emperor Zhengde and Empress Dowager Zhang also hurried over.
After some comfort, Nie Shuyao's sister and brother were called aside by Emperor Zhengde and said in a deep voice: "I frightened you." ”
Nie Shuyao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, the eldest prince is fine, I think Tianxi and I should also leave the palace." ”
Zhengde nodded in agreement, and finally said, "In a few days, let's let Xian'er temporarily live in Wuding Houfu,." ”
Nie Shuyao responded.
The eldest prince can't leave the palace at this time, no matter how dangerous it is. When he is about to be crowned the crown prince, he has to show the momentum that belongs to the prince.
Zhu Xian's feet are not a big problem, Nie Shuyao has been dredging his muscles during this time, plus he wears different shoes, as long as he is not in a hurry, he is basically the same as a normal person.
When the atmosphere in the palace gradually calmed down, Nie Shuyao and the three of them left the palace under the protection of Yu Zhong and the guards. This time, the carriage in the palace did not send them, perhaps Yu Zhong was busy and negligent. Fortunately, Wu Niang drove the carriage and waited here.
Seeing that they came out, Wu Niang said: "Madame can be regarded as coming out, it was the old lady who asked me to come." ”
But at this time, the sun was about to set, and they stayed in the palace for most of the day, and they couldn't even eat a bite of lunch. Back in the carriage, the three of them sat together and glanced at each other, and they all felt their stomachs growl.
At this moment, Nie Shuyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at Jiang Wan'er again, she was even more tired. Na Gefei's two fast flying knives used almost all of her mind, and her nerves were tensed to the extreme, which would relax and her whole body was a little prostration.
Nie Tianxi's expression was also dignified, he was just accompanying guests today, and it was the emperor who showed it to some people.
"Sister, I'm useless." Nie Tianxi had his pride, and Emperor Zhengde's near-ignorance hit him hard.
Learn good martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family, and the same is true for reading. Whether it is a scholar or a martial artist, if you want to show your ambitions, in this era, it is a shortcut to get the emperor's approval.
Nie Shuyao smiled: "What do you say? That's because the emperor hasn't seen what you're capable of. However, if you want the Emperor to see your ability, you have to fight for it yourself. Come to think of it, the case of the Nie family in Yangzhou will soon be rehabilitated. You're going to have to be in the top three next year! ”
"Well, sister rest assured!" He was very sure about this Nie Tianxi, but when he thought of what he heard in the palace, he became worried again, and asked, "Sister, what is the matter with Princess Yaohua?" (To be continued......)
