Chapter 320: Thrilling (1st Update)
This night, many families in the capital were nervous. Many people received the news, but they were all half-drawn, and there were many people who entered the assassins in the enclosure of Zhilu Dao, but who was assassinated? Were there any casualties? Did the assassin catch it? Why is no one allowed to leave? …… None of this is known.
Of course, there is also the most important point: is the emperor okay? The position of the prince has not yet been decided.
On this night, the capital seemed to be calm, but secretly it was turbulent, and in a certain study and dark room of several mansions, the fire candles were burned until dawn, and everyone was busy inquiring, guessing, analyzing, and formulating countermeasures......
The two marquis mansions, which had the most people in the mansion, were the quietest, except for twice as many guards as usual, who were on duty vigilantly.
In the enclosure courtyard, the main courtyard was brightly lit, and the emperor was wearing a golden robe, sitting on the edge of the bed, and anxiously asked the accompanying imperial doctor: "What's the matter?" Why hasn't Yue'er woken up yet? ”
The fourth princess leaned on Shu Yao's arms, her face was still shocked: "Sister Yao'er, woo woo, Yue'er will be fine, right?" ”
Shu Yao patted the back of the fourth princess comfortingly, she was also very worried, the masked man in black knocked on the back of the neck of the county lord Yue, and Yue'er fainted, it has been so long at this time, and she has not woken up yet.
Today is so dangerous, if it weren't for Lord Yu, she wouldn't know if she would have come to save Lord Yue.
The imperial doctor gave the county lord Yue another pulse, and replied affirmatively: "The emperor can rest assured, the county lord Yue is fine, and he will wake up soon." "Lord Yue's pulse is stable at the moment, and his blood is smooth, it should be just that moment of hatred and fright. After all, it's just a delicate little girl, isn't it?
The accompanying doctors who came to hunt were the best at all kinds of injuries in the hospital. It's not that the emperor doesn't trust them. It's just that he is too anxious, in case something happens to Yue'er, how can he explain to his royal brother Prince Yong? What's more, Yue'er was noticed by the assassins just to warn him. is really a tiger father and no dog daughter, today Xia Shuyao's courage and flying needles shocked him, and the innocent and delicate little niece on weekdays also impressed him.
Because of the tight defensive measures in the paddock, the emperor was relatively relaxed and refused to let people follow all the time.
In between hunting, I saw three little girls roasting meat with great interest. The emperor, who was busy with state affairs on weekdays, suddenly became interested, sent the shadow guard, and took great pains to participate in roasting a rabbit leg with his own hands. The three little girls hurriedly went to help him prepare all kinds of ingredients and seasonings.
At this moment, the lord of Yue, who had brought the sauce, suddenly exclaimed, "Uncle Huang, be careful", as soon as he raised his head, a black shadow descended from the sky and pressed towards him, and the blade of the sword stabbed straight into his chest. Lord Yue exclaimed in surprise and threw the sauce jar in his hand at the assassin, but how could a pampered eleven-year-old girl have any strength? The porcelain jar shattered not far from her, far from the Assassin.
Almost at the same time, several rays of light and shadow flashed. The assassin's hand suddenly trembled, and his sword fell to the ground. Gritted teeth. I'm ready to pounce.
The emperor was about to fight to the death, when Shu Yaojiao shouted: "The emperor retreats," and there were a few more lights and shadows, and the assassin fell to the ground in pain. The emperor saw clearly this time, and the light and shadow flew out of Shu Yao's hand.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the county lord of Yue shouted again, "Uncle Huang", and Shu Yao saw a black shadow flying out from behind the emperor. The man reacted quickly, and knew that Lu Dao Shuyao had a secret weapon, dodged a needle, changed direction in an instant, and swept the Yue County Lord in front of him with one hand...... Shu Yao quickly stopped.
Yu Zhengran, who was the first to rush over, slashed his palm and attacked the assassin's head, the assassin turned back sharply to resist, Shu Yao's eyes were quick, and he fired several needles in a row again, the assassin was in pain, and threw out the lord of Yue, who was caught by Shujie who came quickly on the ground, and Yu Zhengran slammed the assassin's face with a heavy palm, and the assassin immediately lost his breath......
A series of life-and-death battles for several people were almost in the blink of an eye.
The imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward to examine the emperor, and the emperor shouted angrily: "Don't you have long eyes? Now it's the Yue County Lord who is injured! Why don't you hurry up and see if this child is serious? ”
Shujie gently placed the lord of Yue on the thick woolen felt laid out by the palace maids, and saw that the shadow guards had already taken their places to protect the emperor and the princess, so he hurriedly led people to search everywhere in case there were still any remaining parties. Kim Heeda had the assassin dragged down for interrogation by writhing in pain.
For the first time in a long time, the paddock had been filled with Assassins. The paddock was heavily guarded, but how did the Assassins get in? The emperor did not ignore it, and when the twisted assassin was lifted from the face scarf, a flash of surprise flashed on the face of the second prince.
The emperor strictly ordered that everyone who entered the enclosure today should not leave, and two to three people should rest in one room and wait for instructions.
At the same time, those who return to the city to deliver the word can only reveal the "assassination", and nothing else can be said.
Although there is a place to rest, who can really rest in peace? It was already night, but no one else in the entire paddock could fall asleep except for the sleeping books and the little boy and the fire.
Shu Yao didn't sleep because she was worried about Qi Yueling, and together with the four princesses, she was guarding in the main courtyard.
After a long while, Qi Yueling finally opened her eyes, and was ignorant for a while, just when everyone was worried about whether she had a bad brain or something, her eyes shrank, full of panic: "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, you are fine, right?" Men in Black, Men in Black......"
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and patted her trembling little body: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Uncle Huang is fine, Yue'er is fine, the man in black is dead, and he can't hurt Yue'er." Yue'er is so brave, as brave as your father...... The Imperial Doctor, come and check on the county lord again. ”
The imperial physician checked Qi Yueling's pulse again, rolled his eyelids again, and said with a relaxed smile: "The emperor can rest assured, the county lord has nothing to do, and the minister has prepared a calming decoction for the county lord, and then administer a needle, and there will be nothing to do if you sleep well." The bruise on the back of the county lord's neck was smeared with medicine, and it would dissipate in three or four days. ”
The emperor still did not leave, personally fed Qi Yueling with medicine, and then watched the imperial doctor administer the needle.
After the needle was applied, Qi Yueling slowly calmed down, and closed her eyelids under the effect of the medicinal power.
The emperor waited carefully with the ladies of the grandmother's palace, and then got up and went out, and several people in the house also hurriedly followed him.
In the hall, Jin Xida, Shujie, Wei Yuanhou and others were waiting.
The emperor looked at Shu Yao: "Yao girl, you saved me today, I didn't expect that you, a delicate and weak little girl, are so sharp." ”
Shu Yao hurriedly knelt down, her little face flushed: "Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, and he is blessed by the emperor." Little...... The little girl will only fly needles, otherwise ...... It won't almost let the assassin take Yue'er. "No one dares to talk to the emperor about saving lives.
Jin Xida also explained: At that time, someone in Yulin bought a murderer and plotted to rob Yao'er, so Wu Zhenzi taught Yao'er some light exercises and flying needles to prevent accidents. Because Yao'er is a boudoir woman, and Tingwei has always advocated pampering her daughter, the Taoist chief did not let her practice other martial arts. It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't know the way, but now that he knows the way and asks, he naturally has to answer truthfully. The emperor is a suspicious person, and he must not be perfunctory.
The emperor nodded, Shu Yao's performance just now really didn't look like he knew how to fight. However, with such a sharp and precise flying needle technique, it is enough to defend yourself. If it weren't for Shu Yao coming with him today, and he was bold, he would probably have run out of gas at this time. I don't know if the emperor has blessed him, but this Xia Linxuan's family is indeed the lucky star of Da Zhou, his lucky star.
The emperor smiled at Shu Yao: "Calm down, you are also scared today, hurry up and go down and have a good rest." "Although the secret weapon is very good, after all, she is still a little girl under the age of fourteen who is hidden in the inner courtyard, and today's situation must be scared enough.
Mother Liu came over and helped Shuyao get up, because she couldn't bring too many people with the emperor for hunting, only Mother Liu, Lan Jin, and Zijin followed, and only Mother Liu could follow up on the main courtyard.
Shu Yao was helped out of the house by Mother Liu, to be honest, her feet were still weak at this moment. Today's scene is too thrilling, in the blink of an eye, the emperor may die, and Yue'er was almost taken away as a hostage. Shu Yao was very glad that she decided to learn martial arts from her uncle in order not to drag down her eldest brother and father-in-law, and she was even more glad that her eldest brother thought of such a secret weapon that embroidered needles were suitable for her.
The emperor and Shujie analyzed today's assassination incident, follow-up investigation, and defensive measures overnight.
Two assassins, one was hacked to death by Yu Zhengran on the spot, and the other wanted to die but had no way, and his whole body, including his tongue, was constantly twisted. Shujie fed him the antidote and gave him cartilage powder, so that he still didn't have the strength to bite his tongue or hit the wall.
This man is really a dead man and a tough guy, he can't survive and die, but he still refuses to speak, and he doesn't even open his eyelids.
The identity of this person has been confirmed, he is a guard of the second prince, and the identity of the person who died is unknown, and it seems that there is no way to verify it at present.
However, according to the information and investigation report of the Netherworld, this guard is just an ordinary guard on weekdays, and he is not a personal attendant for the second prince. This time, one of the second prince's close guards was temporarily ill, so he was temporarily replaced for a day.
Judging from all indications, the second prince has nothing to do with the assassination at this time, and it can even be basically concluded that someone wants to blame the second prince. Because, if the evidence is only taken from the surface, no matter whether the assassination is successful or not, the second prince will not be able to escape the relationship.
All those who came to hunt today were also investigated, isolated and interrogated, and there was no sign of any suspiciousness.
The emperor sighed: "It seems that we can only find out here, let's go back to Beijing tomorrow, it is also beneficial to go through this matter, let us realize that there is still a dangerous force in Beijing." Today, I was also negligent, not only sending the guards away, but also letting the shadow guards leave, almost hurting Yue'er. Fortunately, Yue'er is okay now, otherwise I would not have the face to see the imperial brother. ”
Shujie and the others hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will not dare to relax, and they will definitely increase their vigilance and strengthen their defense." (To be continued......)
