Chapter 161: Turning Over
Xiao Yan is a decisive person, since he has doubts about Shangguan Yunrui, he has to confirm whether his guess is true.
If Shangguan Yunrui is really pretending to be stupid, then what is his purpose? Does he have any intention of murdering Fengyu?
These speculations made Xiao Yan dare not relax, and he had to immediately confirm whether he was suspicious or his guesses were true.
Xiao Yan found Xie Feng and asked him to disguise himself as the killer invited by the second lady, and enter the palace to assassinate Shangguan Yunrui to test whether he was really stupid.
When night came, Xie Feng took advantage of the night to sneak into the palace, and then came to the palace where Shangguan Yunrui lived.
Xie Feng dodged the patrolling guards, and then sneaked into the courtyard, but Shangguan Yunrui's secret guards who were guarding in the shadows saw Xie Feng's figure.
Dodging to avoid the eunuch, Xie Feng quietly came to the door of the dormitory, looked around, and Xie Feng showed the dagger in his hand.
Just as he was about to push the door and enter, Xie Feng suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him, and he was extremely vigilant and immediately dodged to dodge.
There was a 'bang', and Xie Feng glanced at the position where he was standing just now, where a dagger was firmly inserted into the door frame.
Xie Feng looked ahead again, and there was a man dressed in black standing next to the bushes opposite, his hand still maintaining the appearance of throwing a dagger, it seemed that the dagger on the door was from his hand.
Squinting his eyes, Xie Feng looked at the corner of the dark guard's mouth, and immediately rushed towards him, and the dark guard also rushed over with a dagger.
The two fought in the courtyard, Xie Feng clenched the dagger in his hand, and after only two moves, Xie Feng could see that the secret guard was on par with his strength.
"Who are you?"
"Collect money from people and eliminate disasters for others." Xie Feng lowered his voice and said, "Someone paid for the life of the person inside." ”
The dark guard narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You were sent by the second lady?" ”
"No comment."
As soon as the words fell, the aura of the two suddenly widened, and they had to deal with each other before the next group of guards patrolled here, because their identities could not be discovered.
Xie Feng already had a guess, but it wasn't enough, he had to be sure before he could complete the task.
slapped the dark guard, the dark guard dodged sideways, Xie Feng took the opportunity to fly towards the bedroom, the dark guard reacted and immediately chased after him, but Xie Feng had already entered the house.
After entering the house, Xie Feng rushed directly to the bed and clenched the dagger in his hand.
Shangguan Yunrui had already heard a noise outside the door, so he raised his vigilance, and at this time he felt the murderous aura, and immediately got up from the bed and looked at the door.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Shangguan Yunrui wake up, Xie Feng said coldly: "The one who wants your life." After speaking, the dagger in his hand was about to stab Shangguan Yunrui, and the dark guard rushed over from behind.
The goal has been achieved, Xie Feng no longer stayed, turned around and threw the dagger in his hand at the dark guard, while the dark guard was dodging, dodged to the door, and then flew away.
The secret guard wanted to chase again, but Shangguan Yunrui said in a deep voice: "Don't chase." ”
Glancing back at Shangguan Yunrui, the dark guard nodded and said, "Yes, master." ”
"Close the door."
When the dark guard closed the door and came over, Shangguan Yunrui asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"When his subordinates were in the dark, they saw him holding a weapon and wanted to enter the house, and they were worried that he would be bad for their master, so they intervened to stop him."
The dark guard's face was very ugly, and he paused, and continued: "He said that someone bought the master's life. ”
Shangguan Yunrui stood up and walked in front of the dark guard and took the dagger in his hand, which was the dagger that Xie Feng had left in order to get out just now.
This is a very ordinary dagger, but a killer who can tie with his secret guard, or even have the upper hand, will not use such an ordinary dagger.
In other words, in order to hide his identity, that person just now chose such an ordinary dagger, but he didn't expect that this would reveal his purpose.
Shangguan Yunrui threw the dagger to the dark guard and said sharply: "If there is such a thing in the future, you are not allowed to shoot again." ”
"Master, what does this mean?" The secret guard didn't understand what Shangguan Yunrui meant.
Shangguan Yunrui narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone, "Someone is testing my identity." ”
After completing the task, Xie Feng immediately went back to the General's Mansion to report what had just happened to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan heard that there were secret guards protecting Shangguan Yunrui, which confirmed his guess even more.
The next day, Xiao Yan went to find Feng Yu and told Feng Yu about my own suspicions and the fact that Xie Feng was tempting Shangguan Yunrui.
Feng Yu couldn't come back to her senses for a long time after hearing this, she didn't believe that Shangguan Yunrui would pretend to be stupid, but Xiao Yan couldn't lie to herself, and according to the process of temptation that Xiao Yan said, Shangguan Yunrui was indeed suspicious.
Seeing Feng Yu's hesitation, Xiao Yan said: "Last night I sent Xie Feng to test Shangguan Yunrui, and the person who fought with Xie Feng was very skilled, not like an ordinary guard, but like a well-trained secret guard. ”
Everything needs to be cautious, Feng Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I will test it myself." ”
"Nope." Xiao Yan stopped without hesitation, and looked at Feng Yu with a serious expression, "In case he is really pretending to be stupid, if you test him, he is very likely to attack you." ”
Feng Yu smiled and comforted: "It's okay, I'll be careful." As he spoke, his face became a little ugly, "And it's just suspicion, isn't it?" I still don't believe he's playing dumb. ”
Looking at the somewhat lost expression on Feng Yu's face, Xiao Yan sighed, That's it, let Du Yu follow to protect her when the time comes.
Just do it, Feng Yu immediately got up to find Shangguan Yunrui, Xiao Yan was waiting in the dormitory, although he wanted to go together, but Feng Yu just didn't agree.
When he arrived at the room where Shangguan Yunrui was resting, Feng Yuping retreated from the palace maid and eunuch who was waiting, and then approached the bed and took out the hidden dagger.
Hearing Fengyu's voice, Shangguan Yunrui wanted to get up, but when he heard her send her down, he immediately pretended to be unconscious.
Walking to the bed, Feng Yu tightened the dagger in her hand, bent down and approached Shangguan Yunrui, just wanted to continue the temptation, but heard Shangguan Yunrui's whispering voice.
"Sister......
"My sister is the best, I like my sister the most......"
Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, then straightened up, looked at Shangguan Yunrui who called his name in his sleep, and regretted it in his heart.
Putting away the dagger, Feng Yu looked at Shangguan Yunrui and said softly, "I'm sorry." ”
After finishing speaking, Feng Yu turned around and left, and didn't look back until she reached the door, so she didn't see Shangguan Yunrui, who was originally asleep, sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her at the moment.
Xiao Yan was relieved to see that Feng Yu came back safely and soundly, "How is it?" ”
"You're wrong." Feng Yu walked to Xiao Yan's side and said with a serious face: "Shangguan Yunrui didn't pretend to be stupid. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face became a little ugly, Feng Yu looked at him hesitantly, and said, "Maybe it's just that you're thinking too much, but in fact, Shangguan Yunrui is stupid." ”
Although he believed Feng Yu, Xiao Yan still felt that Shangguan Yunrui had a problem, and he must grab Shangguan Yunrui's pigtails to let Feng Yu know that he had not guessed wrong.
Originally, Xiao Yan was ready to make persistent efforts and continue to investigate Shangguan Yunrui's pretending to be stupid, but the Rongyi envoy had already arrived in the northern capital, and he was sent by the emperor to the suburbs to pick up the Rongyi envoy into Beijing.
Therefore, Shangguan Yunrui's matter can only be put on hold for the time being, and we will continue to investigate it in the future.
Concubine Hui was listlessly basking in the sun in the dormitory, and suddenly a little eunuch ran over, "Niangniang, General Lin sent a servant to bring a letter to Niangniang, saying that the Rongyi envoy has arrived in the capital. ”
As soon as she heard the words of the little eunuch, Concubine Hui immediately came to her senses, and as soon as the Rongyi envoy arrived in the capital, it meant that the day when she turned over had arrived.
The emperor was reading a book in the imperial study, and a eunuch ran in, knelt on the ground and said, "The slave sees the emperor." ”
"What?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui sent a palace maid to pass the word, saying that she wanted to see the emperor."
The emperor frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, put down the book and said, "Then go and have a look." ”
Knowing that the emperor was coming to see her, Concubine Hui immediately dressed up simply, and specially asked Lan Zhi to paint her makeup a little haggard.
As soon as the emperor entered the door, he saw Concubine Hui kneeling on the ground, her face changed slightly, and she walked over and said, "Why are you kneeling here?" ”
Concubine Hui leaned over and kowtowed, sobbing: "Your Majesty, the concubines know that they are wrong, and the concubines should not do those things for their own selfish desires." ”
"Ask the emperor to forgive the concubines."
Seeing Concubine Hui's haggard face, and listening to what she said, the emperor was also a little unbearable.
Now that the envoys of Rongyi have arrived in the northern capital, if they know that Concubine Hui is imprisoned in the palace by themselves, it will inevitably cause gossip, and maybe it will also involve the relationship between the two countries.
After pondering for a while, the emperor took the opportunity to give Concubine Hui a step and said, "Since you know your mistakes and sincerely repent, then I will spare you this time." ”
"Deliver the decree, lift Concubine Hui's confinement in the palace and restore the position of concubine."
As soon as she heard that she had restored her status as a concubine, Concubine Hui immediately smiled, but she didn't forget to thank the emperor.
"Concubine Xie Emperor Longen."
The emperor and Hui Guifei stayed for a while and then left, and as soon as the emperor left, there were immediately more palace maids and eunuchs waiting in Hui Guifei's palace.
"Lanzhi, change the best clothes to this palace, this palace is going to meet Concubine Qing Niangniang, who has not met for a long time."
"Yes, concubine."
Concubine Qing was admiring the flowers in the yard, and after this period of conditioning, she felt that she was more energetic than before, and the imperial doctor also said that her body was much better than before.
Qiulan ran in from outside, walked quickly to Concubine Qing's side, bowed and said, "Niangniang, when the slave maid went out, I heard the other palace maids and eunuchs talking......"
"Say what?" Concubine Qing asked with a smile.
"It is said that the emperor has lifted Concubine Hui's grounding, and he has also restored Concubine Hui's position, and she is now a concubine again."
The flower in Concubine Qing's hand fell to the ground, she turned to look at Qiulan, and said with a look of disbelief: "This is ...... Are you sure? ”
Before Qiulan could reply, palace maids and eunuchs ran in at the palace gate, looking slightly flustered.
"The concubine has arrived."
Concubine Qing's face froze suddenly, and she said to Qiulan, "Send someone to inform the princess quickly." ”
"Yes, sissy."
