Chapter 380: Hooked
King Qin saw that Qin Dong's expression was a little wrong, and knew that there were some things that Cheng Xi probably couldn't know, so he said to Cheng Xi: "Xi'er, you are here to enjoy the flowers, and you can come when you go for your husband." ”
After King Qin finished speaking, he followed Qin Dong to the other side of the garden, and Qin Dong said: "Lord Wang, the chief helmsman has sent a message from the chief helmsman, saying that a woman has found them and wants them to assassinate someone. ”
King Qin frowned, it stands to reason that whether or not to take an order from the Qingtian Pavilion is completely up to them, as long as it is a damn person, they can take the order, if it is not a wicked person, they can refuse, and they don't have to ask themselves at all. Now that they have found him, I am afraid that this person who is going to kill has something to do with him.
He asked, "Who is the woman going to kill?" ”
Qin Dong lowered his head and didn't dare to look at King Qin, because he knew that when he said this person, King Qin would definitely be furious, but he had to say, he said: "Back to the prince, the person that woman wants to kill is the princess!" ”
King Qin didn't expect someone to be so bold and dare to find Cheng Xi who went to Qingtian Pavilion to assassinate him, his face became a little ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do they know who the woman who wants to kill the princess is?"
Qin Dong said: "Back to the prince, that woman said that her name was Xiaocui, our people thought that this name may not be her real name, and the person she wanted to kill was the princess, so they secretly followed that woman......"
"Where does that woman live?" Before Qin Dong's words could be finished, he was interrupted by King Qin.
"Back to the prince, they followed the woman and found that the woman walked into the Protector's Mansion." Qin Dong said.
"The Protector's Mansion?" When King Qin heard this, he sneered, and he had already roughly guessed in his heart who this woman who was going to kill Cheng Xi, but he felt that there were some things that still had to be investigated, so as not to kill innocent people by mistake, he said: "Send someone to check if there is anyone named Xiaocui in the Protector's Mansion, and this Xiaocui is estimated to be just a maid, to find out who her master is?" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Qin Dong received the order, jumped and flew out of the palace.
King Qin walked back to Cheng Xi's side, Cheng Xi saw that King Qin's face was not very good, and asked with concern, "Lord Wang, is something wrong?" ”
King Qin thought that Cheng Xi was pregnant now, and some things were not good not to say, so as not to affect her mood and their baby.
He smiled lightly and said, "It's not a big deal, Xi'er, Qin Dong and they can handle it, don't worry!" You must know that your husband is very powerful, and there is nothing that cannot be handled. ”
Cheng Xi saw that King Qin was so confident, and she hadn't heard of anything big happening in the court recently, so she thought that it might be something about Qingtian Pavilion, she felt that Qingtian Pavilion had been five years since its establishment, and it was unrivaled in the rivers and lakes, it should be as King Qin said, there was nothing that could not be handled, so she didn't think much about it, and she didn't ask anything more, just enjoying the flowers, taking a walk, and enjoying the leisure time.
In the evening, after dinner, King Qin knew that Qin Dong had something to report, so in order to avoid arousing Cheng Xi's suspicion, he went to the study.
"Lord Wang, I found out, that Xiaocui is the side concubine of Lu Yuchen, the prince of the protector of the country, Cheng Yun's personal maid, and the person who wants to kill the princess is Cheng Yun." Qin Dong said.
This news was expected by King Qin, when he heard that Xiao Cui had entered the Protectorate Mansion, he had already begun to suspect Cheng Yun, as far as he knew, Cheng Xi was gentle, generous, and had no trouble with others, only that Cheng Yun was always jealous of Cheng Xi and longed for Cheng Xi to die.
Of course, he also suspected that he was the eldest prince, because now everyone knew that Princess Qin had good news, and he did not rule out that the eldest prince wanted to kill Cheng Xi and his child, and then let his father have to change other princes as crown princes on the grounds that King Qin had no heirs.
The last time he hired a thief, he tried to rob Cheng Xi, because he was too busy recently to deal with Cheng Yun, Cheng Xi was too kind-hearted, and felt that Cheng Yun was also the daughter of General Cheng, and if Cheng Yun was killed, General Cheng would also be sad, so he didn't kill Cheng Yun, but this woman who didn't know whether to live or die was really vicious, she embarrassed Cheng Xi everywhere, and tried to kill Cheng Xi, it seems that she can't keep her.
It's very easy to let this woman die, it's like pinching an ant to death for him, it's just that he doesn't want Cheng Xi and General Cheng to know that Cheng Yun was killed by him, because if that's the case, maybe Cheng Xi can forgive him, but General Cheng may not be able to forgive him, he is not like he angered his father-in-law for that vicious woman.
How can this woman die without dying at her own hands? King Qin fell into deep thought.
He should think of a way to let Cheng Yun die in the hands of Lu Yuchen or the Protector of the Kingdom! After thinking for a while, he said a few words to Qin Dong and asked Qin Dong to convey them to the people of Qingtian Pavilion.
On this day, Lu Yuchen and the eldest prince walked into the first floor of the world, and were about to walk to the upstairs wing, when suddenly, they heard a woman's cry for help, Lu Yuchen heard the sound and looked, only to see a woman wearing a lilac dress surrounded by several obscene men.
Looking from his direction, he couldn't see the front of the woman, but he felt that her figure gave him a very familiar feeling, he ignored the obstruction of the eldest prince, walked over, and said loudly to the lewd men: "Who are you, at the foot of this son of heaven, you dare to flirt with the women of a good family?" ”
"You stinky boy is full of food and nosy! We're going to flirt with women from good families, can you handle it? Do you know who I am, uncle? One of the men looked at Lu Yuchen and said with a contemptuous expression.
Lu Yuchen really didn't take these people in his eyes, his eyes kept looking at the woman, and when the woman heard him speak, he turned his head, the face that looked like Cheng Xi with seven or eight points, and the aggrieved demeanor, made Lu Yuchen's heart shocked, he remembered that when he went to General Cheng's mansion to withdraw from the marriage, Cheng Xi looked at him with such eyes.
Just now he only felt that the woman's back was Cheng Xi, and he had already decided to take care of it, and now that he saw the woman's face, he would not let those obscene men bully this woman who looked like Cheng Xi.
"If you know each other, you should hurry up, the fist of this son is not long-eyed, lest this son send you to reincarnation." Lu Yuchen glanced at the men and said coldly.
The Son? The men glanced at each other, ignoring Lu Yuchen at all, several people moved together, and hit Lu Yuchen with their fists.
Although Lu Yuchen is a practitioner, his martial arts are not strong, and those men are relying on the large number of people, and the attack on Lu Yuchen is becoming more and more intense, the eldest prince has already walked to the stairs, and seeing that Lu Yuchen is at a disadvantage, he hurriedly sent a signal to pop out, and after a while, a group of guards strode over.
Several men saw a group of guards coming, and they punched Lu Yuchen hard in the head, and then hurriedly ran away.
When the guards arrived, the men had already fled, and the woman who looked like Cheng Xi had been hiding to the side just now, looking very scared, at this time, she saw that the men had fled, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but this smile was very short-lived, and Lu Yuchen didn't notice it at all.
Lu Yuchen was helped up by the guards, he didn't care that he was injured, staggered to the side of the woman who looked like Cheng Xi, and said, "Girl, are you okay?" ”
The woman who looked like Cheng Xi raised her head and looked at Lu Yuchen with a shocked look, and said, "Thank you Engong for coming to the rescue!" The little woman couldn't repay her, so she asked Engong to be worshiped by the little woman. ”
Lu Yuchen originally thought that she would say: The little woman has nothing to repay, only to make a promise by herself, but when she heard the woman say this, she was a little disappointed, and looked at the woman's eyes without blinking, as if she wanted to see her in her heart.
The woman was a little embarrassed by Lu Yuchen, her face was slightly red, and she lowered her head shyly, this action, in Lu Yuchen's opinion, is more like Cheng Xi, once upon a time, Cheng Xi also showed such a look in front of him, but Cheng Xi has married the King of Qin and is about to become the crown princess, and the woman in front of her may still have a chance.
Lu Yuchen stretched out his hand to help the woman up and said, "The girl doesn't have to be polite, the road is uneven, the knife helps, the girl doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
"Thank you so much!" The woman said.
"The girl is here alone? Although the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are always some people who are not long-eyed to do nonsense, the girl is as beautiful as a flower, it is really not safe to be alone, if the girl does not dislike it, let the prince send you home! Lu Yuchen said with great concern.
He had a wishful thinking in his heart, he couldn't get Cheng Xi, and the woman in front of him who looked like Cheng Xi might be God who saw him pitiful and specially arranged for them to meet.
He said that he was sending this woman home, but in fact, he wanted to know where this woman's home was and see what her family background was. Whether she is worthy of the Protector's Mansion, if she is worthy, he can consider marrying her as a concubine, if she is just a girl from an ordinary family, then he can take her as a concubine.
"Thank you so much, but you don't have to worry about Engong, your friends are still waiting for you! The little woman can go home with a veil. The woman who looked like Cheng Xi said.
She took out a veil from her arms and put it on, Lu Yuchen looked at it, and was even more stunned, she was more like Cheng Xi when she was veiled, maybe it could be said that it was almost the same as when Cheng Xi went to participate in the Hundred Flowers Feast with a veil.
Lu Yuchen said: "It's okay, let my guards send the girl home." ”
When the woman who looked like Cheng Xi heard this, she had no choice but to agree, she was actually just trying to catch her, what she was waiting for was to let Lu Yuchen take the bait, but she didn't expect him to be so good, and the face under the veil showed a sly smile, but Lu Yuchen couldn't see it at all.
