Chapter 221: Assassin
The eldest princess was injured by the beam of the house in Lingyun Temple, which came to an end with the awakening of the eldest princess and the death of Fuyi.
But between the sleeping fence and Xiangyu, after a slap in the courtyard that night, it became weird.
Mian Liang still went to Xiangyu to serve as usual every day, and his demeanor was no different from usual.
And Xiangyu is no different.
But they never had any superfluous conversations again, as they had done before.
Except for Xiangyu giving an order and sleeping in response, the two of them no longer took the initiative to talk to each other.
Sleeping fence sacrifice, even if he really won Xiangyu's favor, he dared to act so recklessly in front of him, and it was the first time Xiangyu had encountered it.
And Xiangyu was not angry, which surprised everyone.
In fact, what everyone didn't know was that on the second day after Mian Liang was slapped, Xiangyu also sent a tanuki slave to send her ointment, and Mian Liang accepted it, but after that he did not go to thank her.
Only the tanuki know about it.
It was only after this that the two reached their current impasse.
Before the people who talked about this gossip could delve further into the topic, something else suddenly happened that drew everyone's attention away.
In the middle of the night, countless open flames suddenly ignited in the direction of the emperor's dormitory, followed by a noisy sound.
Some of the attendants shouted "There is an assassin" and "It's a ghost", followed by the frightened screams of the palace maids, and then the guards quickly arrived, and with the sound of weapons unsheathed, the guards began to search all over the dormitory......
"It's the ghost who stabbed His Majesty at night and caught her!" a chamberlain suddenly let out a shout, and the inside and outside of the dormitory suddenly became chaotic.
After that, everyone in the palace who had come into contact with the ghost who came to the dormitory to attack the emperor said that the ghost had a sleeping hedge, and there was no doubt that the hedge was a hedge.
As soon as this conclusion came out, for Xiangfu, it was really a wave of unsettled waves.
Shrouded in the silence of the night, on a quiet Xiangfu, a particularly clear footsteps were hurrying towards the west side of the Jade Disturbance Courtyard.
The tanuki nu carried the white jade sheep's horn lamp, walked to the west side of the house where the sleeping fence lived, and used a spell to probe the house, and suddenly his face sank.
There was no one in the house!
The raccoon slave's always smiling face showed a bit of seriousness under the halo of the sheep's horn lamp, and he made a quick decision in his heart, and turned to go towards the place where Xiangyu was sleeping.
When the tanuki arrived, he carefully woke up Xiangyu, who was sleeping deep in the room.
If it were normal, the tanuki would try not to disturb him.
But tonight, the emperor was assassinated, and the murderer was identified as a sleeping fence, and now in the middle of the night, the sleeping fence happens to be not in the Jade Disturbance Courtyard, and the results of various signs are faintly developing in a bad direction.
Tanuki slaves are no longer able to cope on their own.
After listening to the tanuki slave's quick explanation, Xiangyu sat up from the bed and instructed Yin Heng, who was hidden in the shadows, "Go and get her back." ”
"Yes!" Yin Heng received the order and turned into a white light and went out.
The raccoon slave quickly waited for Xiangyu to get up, and as soon as he cleaned up, Yin Heng and the Falcon walked into the room with the sleeping hedge.
Xiangyu came to the outer room, looked at the sleeping hedge still stained with a few drops of fine dew on her body, and asked her, "Where have you been?"
He bowed down to the ground and replied, "The slave could not sleep at night, so he walked around the house for a while." ”
She does have a habit of going for a walk at night.
Although Xiangyu knew this, he still looked at Yin Heng who was standing beside the sleeping fence, and after Yin Heng nodded his head at him, Xiangyu had some counts in his heart.
"Get up. Xiangyu said lightly.
"The emperor was assassinated in the dormitory half an hour ago, and several maidservants and maidservants witnessed that it was you who did it. Xiangyu looked into the eyes of the sleeping fence and said.
On the way back to the Jade Disturbance Courtyard with Yin Heng, Mian Liang had already heard about it.
"The slave did not assassinate the emperor. Mian Fence replied with a calm expression.
Xiangyu glanced at her: "Let's go into the palace immediately to see the emperor." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked briskly outside, and the sleeping fence and the tanuki, Yin Heng, and the falcon followed.
The incident was urgent, Xiangyu rode Yueru into the palace, and several other people used spells to arrive.
In the blink of an eye, the five of them were already standing outside the Mingluan Palace.
The door in the hall creaked open, and suddenly a strong sword wind attacked the door of the sleeping hedge.
Mian Li's face was startled, and he leaned back, narrowly dodging.
The other party continued to make moves one after another, and Mian Fence had to continue to dodge one after another, but he never took the initiative to make moves.
She already has the biggest suspicion of assassinating the emperor, and she can't make any more extraneous branches.
After a moment of attacking and retreating, a purple figure flashed suddenly, and Yin Heng had already flown forward, dismantling the sleeping fence and Xu Fengyang, who was fighting with him.
Xu Fengyang retracted his sword momentum, glanced at the sleeping fence with a strange look in his eyes, and then retreated behind the third prince who happened to come out of the house with the emperor.
Xiangyu glanced at Xu Fengyang, and saw that he was shaking his head lightly at the third prince, and the third prince immediately frowned slightly, thinking about something.
Mian Liang and Yin Heng also stood back on Xiangyu's side at this time.
Those who walked out of the Mingluan Palace, in addition to a few members of the royal family, there were also several clans from other royal factions.
On the side of the Xiang clan, there are only five Xiangyu masters and servants plus one mount Yueru.
After the two sides saluted, Xiangyu approached the emperor and asked, "Is Your Majesty injured?"
The emperor showed an expression of the rest of his life, and rejoiced: "Fortunately, Jinhong arrived in time, it was his guards who saved me, and I ......."
The emperor paused, and his eyes sank slightly to the sleeping fence on Xiangyu's side, "...... that they may not be poisoned by the hands of your sacrifice. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, two columns of guards hiding in the shadows suddenly appeared, and quickly surrounded them, and the sword ends that exuded a fierce murderous aura were all pointed at the sleeping fence.
Seeing this, the falcon made a gesture to make a move, but was stopped by Yin Heng reaching out.
Xiangyu didn't move, lazily lifted his eyelids, and swept past the guards.
Immediately, he smiled casually and asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, when you were assassinated by ghosts, the sleeping fence did not leave Xiangfu, how could she poison you?"
Sheng Zhuohuai, who was standing near the emperor, said loudly: "Young Master Yu, you rushed to this Mingluan Hall so quickly, could it be that you did it in order to quickly say this sentence to Your Majesty, so as to clear up the relationship?"
Xiangyu's gaze lightly swept over Sheng Zhuohuai's face: "Then why did Master Sheng arrive earlier than me?"
Sheng Zhuohuai was just about to answer, when someone suddenly took the lead.
I only heard a voice coming from behind me: "Lord Sheng only arrived earlier than you, Gongzi, and Lord Sheng got the news even earlier than Xiaguan, the person in charge of the defense of the palace, and rushed to this palace." ”
Han Tao was dressed in iron armor, with several generals, and walked towards them quickly, he carried a wide knife at his waist, and walked, the wide knife rubbed against the iron armor and made a dull sound.
A sharp light flashed in Sheng Zhuohuai's eyes, and he looked at Han Tao with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
Han Tao's gaze met coldly, and the eyes of the two fought silently in the air for several rounds.
"See Childe! See Your Majesty!" Han Tao approached and saluted Xiangyu and the emperor one by one with several generals behind him.
Han Tao is the general of the leading army, in charge of guarding the palace, and is the second product, and Shang Shuling, who is also the second product, is on an equal footing with Sheng Zhuohuai.
After the two sides saluted, Han Tao walked up to Xiangyu, bowed to Xiangyu and waved his hand at Xiangyu and said, "Childe, the body of the ghost who assassinated His Majesty is completely different from your sacrifice, I think the assassin ghost deliberately used the illusion technique, in order to set up the blame!"
Han Tao's voice was particularly loud, so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
