Chapter 518: Assassin Suspicion
Yang Muyun, can I trust you? Zhu Qizhen glanced at Yang Muyun, who was standing respectfully beside him.
"The minister is willing to be driven by His Majesty, although he goes to the soup and fire, he will not give up!" Yang Muyun said proudly.
"You and I are gentlemen, so I won't say much," Zhu Qizhen stared at him and said, "I hope you will do the errand assigned to you conscientiously, and the matter between you and the princess ......."
"The minister will never meet with Her Royal Highness the princess in private again." Yang Muyun said categorically.
"It's not that I don't believe you," Zhu Qizhen's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "It's better to talk about everything, and it's not a way for you to blindly avoid Xiyuan...... If you can fundamentally break her thoughts, there will never be any more connections," patted him on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "The root joint is with you, how to break it depends on how you grasp it." ”
"Yes, the minister will never live up to the emperor's high expectations." Yang Muyun hurriedly bowed his head and answered.
"As for your errand," Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment and said, "You don't have to go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, I will give a special order to the Ministry of Rites, and you will report to the Ministry of Rites in three days, right?" ”
"Ministry of Rites?" Yang Muyun was stunned for a moment, "The minister is a military position, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites and Yamen is afraid that ......"
"You are both civil and military, so you don't have to excuse yourself," Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly, "If it weren't for your injuries, I would have planned to let you go tomorrow...... It's okay to rest for a few days. ”
"Minister...... Obey! Seeing the emperor's kind attitude, Yang Muyun had no choice but to agree, but he couldn't stop muttering in his heart, "What did the emperor send me to the Ministry of Rites for?" ”
"You just stay here first," Zhu Qizhen said, "and someone will take you out at dawn." ”
"Yes," Yang Muyun bowed and said, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”
Zhu Qizhen nodded and turned around.
......
After Zhu Qizhen completely went out, Yang Muyun let out a long breath, he knew that this level was over.
"Why did the emperor send me to the Ministry of Rites?" Yang Muyun was puzzled, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"The emperor is happy with the prince, and he will definitely give amnesty to the world, and he will not embarrass me again because of the princess for the time being," Yang Muyun secretly rejoiced, and thought about it, "What if the princess comes to me again?" Did I see her or not? He recalled what the emperor had said to him again, "The emperor asked me to cut off the princess's thoughts about me, it should be for me to make it clear to the princess in person, naturally it is not taboo for me to meet her, the emperor is magnanimous, I can't ignore the lift, how to reply to the princess well, and can't let her look for death and life, this is a little difficult." "Pacing back and forth in the room.
A glimmer of light poured in through the lattice, and the sky grew brighter. Yang Muyun raised his head and looked at the slightly pale window paper, and said in his heart: "Now I don't know what's going on outside, I don't know if the female assassin has been caught...... Thinking of the stiff and expressionless face of the assassin who pretended to be a palace maid, Yang Muyun knew that she had changed her makeup and wore a mask on her face. Her skills felt familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
"That's right......" He suddenly remembered what Zhu Qiyu complained to him when he was drinking with him, if Concubine Zhou gave birth to a prince, he, the prince, would have to leave Beijing to go to other places to become a vassal. After he told Zhu Qiyu's confidante Liu Yunxi about this, Liu Yunxi said lightly that she would never let Zhu Qiyu leave Beijing.
"It's her
? Yang Muyun frowned, the female assassin went straight to the baby, if it was the Guanyin Sect's chaotic party, it should be directly assassinating Zhu Qizhen. If it is really Miss Liu, if she is caught, will it involve the prince? ”
He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a "squeak-" sound, and the door curtain was lifted, and a green-robed prisoner entered.
"Lord Yang......" The little eunuch saluted Yang Muyun.
"Don't dare," Yang Muyun hurriedly returned the salute, "My father-in-law is polite." ”
Seeing that Yang Muyun was humble and polite, the little eunuch had a little joy on his face, "Can Lord Yang move around now?" ”
"Hmm...... No hindrance, no hindrance. Yang Muyun said.
"Then let's go with us, shall we?" The eunuch said: "Now that all the civil and military officials have gone to court, it is just time to leave the palace." ”
"There is Father-in-law Lao." Yang Muyun arched his hand and said.
......
The two of them walked out of the palace gate of the Qianqing Palace and walked all the way to the south, Yang Muyun asked the green-robed eunuch, "What is the name of the father-in-law?" ”
"Don't dare, Lord Yang calls me Xiao Yunzi." The little prisoner said without replying.
"Little Yunzi?" Yang Muyun was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that when he first met Zhu Qizhen last night, he called a small eunuch next to him called Xiao Yunzi, "It turned out to be Gonggong Yun." ”
"Ouch! Our family doesn't dare to be," the little eunuch turned his face sideways and smiled, "Our family is just waiting for the master, and there is no rank, so we can't be a father-in-law." ”
"Where?" Yang Muyun said with a smile: "Gonggong Yun is waiting by the emperor's side, and the future is limitless!" ”
Xiao Yunzi was even happier when he heard it.
"Grandpa Yun," Yang Muyun asked, "Yang, may I ask, did the assassin last night know if he was caught?" ”
"Alas-" Xiao Yunzi sighed, "that assassin really has two brushes, and under the heavy interception of the palace guards, he actually killed out of the palace......"
"What, you let her escape?" Yang Muyun said in surprise.
"It's not," Xiao Yunzi shook her head again and again, "The guards in the palace were injured by her twenty or thirty in a row, of which eight were killed and thirteen were seriously injured, and even the deputy commander of the palace ban, Mao Lutong Mao, was injured by her......
"This assassin is really not small." Yang Muyun sighed.
"Who's to say it isn't?" Xiao Yunzi glanced at him, "Where Lord Yang was injured by her......"
"Out of the way!" Yang Muyun waved his hand, "As long as the emperor and the little prince are safe, Yang will not hesitate to give up this life." ”
"Hehe, Lord Yang has made a great contribution, and the emperor will definitely reward you heavily." Xiao Yunzi said with a smile.
"To borrow the auspicious words of my father-in-law," Yang Muyun said: "If you don't catch the assassin, the emperor will definitely not give up, right?" ”
"Of course," Xiao Yunzi said, "Lord Yang, you don't know, the emperor is Long Yan was furious, and he dismissed Jiang Yizhou, the commander of the palace ban, on the spot, and asked the commander of Jinyiwei to make Ma Shun enter the palace quickly to inquire about the assassin's traces......"
While the two were talking, they came to the noon gate.
"Lord Yang......" Xiao Yunzi arched his hand at him, "It's already here, you should be familiar with the way out of here, and we won't send it." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Yang Muyun also bowed his hand to him.
......
I heard that the assassins didn't
caught, Yang Muyun's heart relaxed slightly. He also didn't want Zhu Qiyu and Liu Yunxi to have an accident.
Out of Chengtianmen, Yang Muyun saw a carriage parked outside the Jinshui Bridge from a distance, and a stunning beauty wearing a fox fur next to the carriage was looking anxiously at his side.
"Shiso?" Yang Muyun couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her.
"Husband-" Shisu also saw him, smiled, and ran towards him happily.
"Do you know that you didn't come back all night, and it really worried me." Shisu threw herself into his arms excitedly, and hugged him tightly with her arms, as if she was afraid that he would disappear from her eyes again. "I asked someone to go to my father-in-law to inquire about your message, but I didn't expect you to come out." Raising his delicate chin, he looked at him with a pair of autumn-like eyes and said, "You...... You okay? ”
"Madam, let go of your hand," Yang Muyun's eyebrows locked slightly, "You hugged me so much that I was almost out of breath." ”
Shiso's face flushed, and he let go of his arms.
"Ouch-" Yang Muyun frowned and reached out to touch his shoulder, which was involved in the wound when Zisu hugged him.
"What's wrong with you?" Shisu looked down his hand and suddenly covered his cherry lips in surprise, "Are you injured?" How so? ”
"It's ......a long story," Yang Muyun smiled bitterly, glanced at the carriage and said, "This is not a place to talk, let's talk about it in the car." ”
"Well, husband, I'll help you!" Shiso put his hands under his flanks.
————————————
The wheels ran over the empty streets of West Chang'an Avenue in the early morning, making a creaking sound.
"So you saved the newborn little prince, but you were a blessing in disguise?" On the carriage, Zi Su listened to Yang Muyun's narration and gradually let go of his hanging heart.
"Well," Yang Muyun nodded, lifted the curtain and cast a glance outward, "I heard that the palace people said that the assassin finally ran away, and the Jinyi Guard will inevitably ask the whole city." ”
"Thankfully, I'm relieved as long as you're okay." Shiso didn't care about the Assassins.
"The assassin is likely to be an acquaintance," Yang Muyun looked at her and said, "And you know this person." ”
"I know each other, how could it be?" Shiso was stunned.
Yang Muyun leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Is that her?" Shiso's face changed color, "How do you think it's her?" ”
"I'm just guessing," Yang Muyun said lightly: "She knows martial arts, you should know it, right?" ”
"Well," Zi Su bowed slightly, still with a look of disbelief, "How is this possible, why would she sneak into the palace to be unfavorable to the newborn little prince?" ”
"Of course it's for one person," Yang Muyun said, "for a man." ”
"A man, who is it?" Shiso's clear eyes stared at him and asked.
"That man is not me," Yang Muyun avoided her gaze, "Who does she like, don't you know?" ”
"It's Lord Yu," Zi Su was even more surprised, "You mean, she did all this for the sake of Lord Yu?" ”
"Madame, silence!" Yang Muyun waved his hand at her, lifted the curtain and looked out again, "Don't make a noise about these words, if they are heard by the people of Jinyiwei, it will be a big disaster." ”
