Chapter 386: Assassination of the Crown Princess

The head of the guard told Cheng Xi about the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by a man in black today, and Cheng Xi fainted directly when he heard it.

Cheng Xi lived in the courtyard of the county order, and the county order saw that the princess had fainted, so he hurriedly asked the maid to help her into the room and invite the imperial doctor to treat the princess.

After the imperial doctor took Cheng Xi's pulse, he said: "The crown princess is too sad to faint, she is pregnant now, and she can't be stimulated too much." I prescribe a prescription, fry it for the princess to take, and let her rest well. ”

Everyone left, leaving only the maid waiting beside him, and after a while, Cheng Xi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the maid in front of him, and lowered his eyes.

Cheng Xi's move, in the eyes of the maid, thought that she was sad because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was missing, the maid walked up to Cheng Xi, comforted her and said: "The crown princess, His Royal Highness the prince is a blessed person, he will definitely turn evil into good fortune and return safely, so don't worry too much." ”

Since Cheng Xi learned from the prince last night that there is the eyeliner of the eldest prince and the third prince here, except for the people brought by the prince, she is suspicious of anyone here, although the person in front of her is a maid, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be bought.

She sighed and said, "How can you let Concubine Ben not worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the husband of Concubine Ben, the father of the fetus in Concubine Ben's womb, and now his whereabouts are unknown, alas......"

Cheng Xi said, his eyes turned red, and tears fell like pearls with broken threads.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly handed over a handkerchief and comforted her; "Crown Princess Niangniang, you are still pregnant, the imperial doctor also said just now, you can't think too much, so as not to hurt the fetus in the womb, our master has sent someone to go out with His Royal Highness the Prince's guards to find His Royal Highness the Prince, you can raise the fetus with peace of mind!"

Cheng Xi thought of the fetus in her womb, so she wiped away her tears and sat on the bed silently, looking out the window with her eyes, but she didn't have any focus.

At this time, a maid brought a bowl of black medicine, she walked up to Cheng Xi and said to Cheng Xi: "Crown Princess Niangniang, this is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, please drink the medicine." ”

Cheng Xi glanced at the bowl of medicine and frowned, it is a three-point poison of medicine, she is pregnant now, she should be more careful, she said: "Concubine Ben is not sick, you don't need to drink medicine, you pour the medicine." ”

The maid looked at Cheng Xi in surprise and persuaded: "But, Crown Princess Niangniang, this is the medicine that you fainted just now, and the imperial doctor helped you prescribe the pulse!" ”

"No need, isn't this concubine awake now? The concubine herself is a doctor, and the concubine herself knows her body. Cheng Xi said coldly.

The maid saw that Cheng Xi refused to drink the medicine, and there was no way to force her to drink it, but she was the crown princess, if she offended the princess, her life would not be guaranteed.

Seeing the maid going out with the medicine, Cheng Xi said to the other maid in the room: "You go out too, this concubine wants to be alone." ”

In the past few days, the patients in the disaster area have been treated, their conditions have basically been controlled, they are recovering, and no one has been infected with the plague again.

Qin Dong and Qin Nan were guarding outside Cheng Xi's door, not leaving an inch, and the county commander saw that they had been guarding there, thinking that they had to deal with these two guys like door gods tonight before they could act.

Qin Dong and Qin Nan watched the county order walk by, nodded to him, and said hello, seeing the county order leaving, they glanced at each other, feeling that there was something wrong with this county order, and they were all vigilant.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was missing, they wanted to protect Cheng Xi even more, they flew pigeons to pass the book to Qingtian Pavilion, and let them dispatch two women with strong martial arts over there, dressed as maids, and sent them to Cheng Xi's room to protect Cheng Xi.

At this time, the two maids of the county order were taken away by Cheng Xi, and the "maids" sent by Qingtian Pavilion were sent to Cheng Xi's room.

The people sent by the county commander and the guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince searched within a radius of ten miles, but they did not find the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the county commander was really happy to hear that his subordinates came back to report, but he still pretended to be very worried on his face, and ordered his subordinates to continue to expand the scope of the search tomorrow.

The county magistrate returned to the study, and he thought to himself: The prince is missing here, although it is on his territory, but he has so many guards with him, even if the emperor blames him, he can't blame him, as long as he lets the person in the capital know that he has done this for him, then that person gets the throne, and once the emperor is a courtier, then he will soar. Thinking so, he wrote a letter and asked his henchmen to pass it on to him.

In the dead of night, Qin Dong and Qin Nan were guarding outside Cheng Xi's door, they were a little sleepy and drowsy, Qin Nan said to Qin Dong: "Brother Dong, why don't you go and rest for a while, and then come over in two hours to replace me?" ”

Qin Dong nodded, and walked to the room next to Cheng Xi to rest, leaving only Qin Nan standing guard at Cheng Xi's door.

Qin Nan's internal strength is extremely high, although he is already very tired, but he is still alert to find someone approaching, and it is not just a person, he knows that if he stays here, the enemy will definitely play tricks, stun him, and then enter the crown princess's room.

He thought about it for a moment and pretended to go to the toilet, but in fact he was hiding in the dark and observing the situation here.

After a while, a group of black-clothed people appeared at the door of Cheng Xi's room, they were very happy to see that there was no one guarding the door, they had already heard the county order that there were two guards guarding here, and they thought that they would have to stun those two guards first tonight before they could go in and kill the crown princess, but they didn't expect it to be so smooth.

It's a pity that they were happy too early, just as they wanted to kick open Cheng Xi's door, they smelled a strange fragrance, some of them were more vigilant, and immediately held their breath, and some of them didn't realize the danger coming, and after a while, they felt their limbs weaken and slowly fell to their knees.

When they rushed into the room, they saw a maid blocking in front of Cheng Xi, and another maid pulled out a sword and fought with them, and at this time, Qin Dong and Qin Nan attacked from behind the man in black and caught them off guard.

After a while, this group of black-clothed people were killed without leaving a piece of armor, and those black-clothed people who knelt on the ground looked at Qin Dong, Qin Nan and the two maid-dressed women with resentment, they thought that they could easily solve the crown princess, but they didn't expect that the crown princess had long expected that they would come to kill her, so they had already dug a big pit, let them jump in by themselves, and then bury them.

Qin Dong and Qin Nan handed over the surviving black-clothed men to the other secret guards and continued to guard in front of Cheng Xi's door.

The county magistrate learned that all the black-clothed people who acted tonight were wiped out, his face was pale with fright, and his whole body was in a cold sweat, he couldn't understand, he told the black-clothed people early in the morning that he was going to stun the two "door gods" before acting, but the two "door gods" didn't seem to have anything to do.

He couldn't figure out why this was happening. It's too bad, I heard that a few people in black have been arrested, and he is very worried that they will confess him and murder the crown princess, such a crime, but he will be punished by the nine clans!

Cheng Xi originally guessed that the person in the capital might do something to her, she didn't want to sleep, but she was pregnant and more sleepy, and finally couldn't help falling asleep, she was woken up by the sound of fighting, looking at the door, kneeling on the ground in black, she hooked the corners of her lips, revealing a sneer.

The person in the capital also underestimated her, right? She watched the surviving black-clothed people being taken away by the secret guards, took out a few pills from her arms, and handed them to Qin Dong, "You let those black-clothed people eat these pills, and tell them that if they don't confess, they will wait and watch their whole bodies as if they have been bitten by insects, itching for two days, and then their whole bodies will fester, suppurate, and turn into a pool of blood after seven days." ”

When Qin Dong heard this, he shuddered, and thought: The crown princess's move is too ruthless, right? However, these people are so hateful that they are innocent of death.

He followed what Cheng Xi told him, caught up with those men in black, made them take some pills, and relayed all Cheng Xi's words, asking Qin Xi to entertain those men in black, and he went back to protect Cheng Xi.

And over there in the capital, that person is in his palace, waiting for the news from his subordinates to come back, he is very confident in his plan this time, as long as he gets rid of the prince, and then controls the emperor, as long as he forces the emperor to give way to him, even if he has other brothers, those guys are not afraid at all, this throne is his!

He waited until the early morning of the next day, and finally waited for the news of the prince's disappearance, and he couldn't help but curse angrily: "What a bunch of rice buckets!" Even my powerless Seven Emperor Brother couldn't deal with him, and he couldn't kill him! ”

"The prince is angry, after hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has disappeared, his guards have searched all the nearby places where they can hide, but they have not found the prince, perhaps, the prince has ......" The man made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"You mean, the disappearance of the crown prince is fake, but in fact he is dead?"

"The subordinates think that the prince should be more than lucky."

"You also send someone to investigate, this king wants to see people alive, and he wants to see corpses when he dies!"

"Yes, my subordinates will send someone to check immediately. In addition, the county order has been bought by our people, and they have already planned to deal with the crown princess last night. ”

"Well, as long as you do things well, this king will not treat you badly."

And on the way from Jiangnan to the capital, there were three men dressed as people in the rivers and lakes riding horses, rushing day and night, looking at the horses were already tired and almost dying, they stopped at the branch of the local Qingtian Pavilion, their whereabouts this time, not many people knew about it, they took out the token of the Qingtian Pavilion, after meeting the boss of the local Qingtian Pavilion, after replenishing their energy, after a little rest, they changed to three thousand miles of horses, and galloped all the way in the direction of the capital.
