Chapter 66: The Assassin Who Assassinated King Cheng
There is no doubt that Leng Jiucheng has slept for several days, Mu Xianxian saw that Leng Jiucheng had no intention of waking up, so he found the imperial doctor many times to check, if it wasn't for Xue Yi to stop him, he would probably have to go to Linguo to ask the medicine god Wei Qiannan.
This is not today, Mu Xianxian saw that Leng Jiucheng still didn't wake up, so he wanted to go to the palace to pass on the imperial doctor. Feng Shengyi said, "Lord Wang, you have invited the imperial doctor eight times, and every imperial doctor said that the princess was just drunk, and she would naturally wake up after sleeping for a few days, not to mention that Xue Yi also said that the princess just drank too much." But I complained in my heart, when can you care so much about others!
In fact, it is a fact that Leng Jiucheng was drunk, but drinking that little wine would not make her sleep for so long, but there were some things about the poisonous prince on the rivers and lakes, which she needed to deal with personally, so she used the forbidden technique to make her soul out of her body, otherwise if she woke up, there would be no reason to get rid of Murong Xian and do what he wanted.
Murong Xian paced back and forth in Leng Jiucheng's room, and said, "Why aren't you awake, why aren't you awake." As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Jiucheng woke up, saw Murong Xian pacing and hiding, and asked, "Lord Wang, what are you doing?" Murong Xian was overjoyed when he saw that Leng Jiucheng had woken up, and immediately ran over and took her hand, and said, "Cheng'er, you have finally woken up, but there is something uncomfortable." ”
Leng Jiucheng pulled out his hand and covered his hand, feeling a little embarrassed at the same time, and smiled and said, "Lord Wang, I'm fine, but I drank too much, and I just slept for a long time." ”
Murong Xian felt that Leng Jiucheng was full of him, but he didn't show it, and then Xiao Si said, "Lord Wang, the emperor sent someone to let you go to the palace." Murong Xian knew why his father summoned him, so he briefly explained a few words to Leng Jiucheng and hurriedly entered the palace.
Leng Jiucheng felt that something was wrong, during this time, the emperor always summoned Murong Xian into the palace, and every time Murong Xian would rush there, and Murong Xian went to the morning court every day these days. As far as she knows, Murong Xian didn't even invite him to the palace in the past, and the emperor would not summon him into the palace at any time, the only thing that could be explained was that they were discussing something important in secret. However, Leng Jiucheng thought about it, but he still didn't send anyone to check on Murong Xian, what major matters they were discussing.
Murong Xian quickly came to the palace and said, "The son of the emperor sees the father, is there something wrong with the father summoning me?" The emperor took out a letter to Murong Xian and said, "This is what your eldest brother gave me just now, you can take a look." Murong Xian listened to the emperor's words, feeling that something bad was wrong, and took the letter suspiciously, only to see that what was written on the letter was about Leng Jiucheng.
The emperor looked at Murong Xian and didn't speak for a long time, and he confirmed that the matter on the letter must be true, because he knew that this son of his, if it wasn't true or uncertain, he would definitely not be silent, and said, "Xian'er, did you already know that what Dugu Ruo said was true." ”
Murong Xian made no secret of it and said, "Yes, but Erchen doesn't believe that Cheng'er is definitely not a disaster, and Erchen only thinks that she is Erchen's princess." ”
The emperor doesn't know whether to be happy or worried, but happy that his son, who has a brain lacking roots, has finally opened up and has a girl he likes, but he is worried that he will lose in the end if he uses too much affection.
"Father, father, my mother is here." When the emperor heard that Concubine De was coming, he quickly stood up and said, "Concubine, you are here." However, where is the figure of Concubine De, looking back at Murong Xian with a smile on her face, she knows that she has been teased by her own son Nasi again. It's pitiful, he is an emperor, although there are no three thousand beauties in the harem, there are three hundred, what kind of concubine do you want, but the most favored is only one, that is Concubine De, when I saw her for the first time, I was deeply attracted by his bewitching posture and gentle character, although she couldn't accompany him from time to time for so many years, but he still only liked to listen, as for other concubines, that is, what those ministers said for the royal branching out. It is precisely because of this that many beautiful girls have come to the palace for many years, he has never summoned her, at most give her a title, let her fend for herself, even the concubine has to pretend to love her, since the queen died without a seal, he handed over many affairs in the harem to listen to take care of it, but for Concubine De, she is the person he likes, and the person he likes must be sincere, and the person he picks must be spoiled even if he is kneeling.
This reason Murong Xian doesn't know how many times I've used it! It's just that it has been tried and tested, so that he is deflated every time he eats. The emperor looked at Murong Xian with an unhappy face, and he couldn't wait to call the two fathers-in-law to pull him down and beat him violently, knowing that he spoiled his mother and used his mother to scare him every time, the key is that every time he was fooled, he felt that he was hopeless, and his thoughts about Concubine De were already terminally ill. But if he hadn't known how happy it was to like someone, he wouldn't have helped him and Leng Jiucheng many times later.
Murong Xian grinded his teeth and looked at his father, only to see him sigh lazily, and said, "Father, who told me to shout at you so much, and you didn't react!" You can't blame me for that, right? ”
The emperor had some impulses to beat him up for his Taidu, but now it is important to solve the problem between him and Leng Jiucheng. Then with a serious face, he said, "Xian'er, I don't care if she was a disaster star in the past, I only see if she is a disaster star in the future, as long as she has been in peace like this year, I will solve this problem, but if she has any crooked thoughts, I will also kill her." If the emperor let Leng Jiucheng hear this, she probably wouldn't know who she was.
Murong Xian understood what the emperor meant, and thought that as long as his father was on his side, he would not be afraid, no matter what wind and waves he wanted, his father would be in the way, and the big things would be turned into small things, and the small things would be turned into small things, and he said excitedly, "Father don't worry, Erchen believes that Cheng'er is not that kind of person." ”
When the emperor saw his son's happy face, it was like a child and an adult asking for candy, and he was a little suspicious that this was his own son, and it was clear that in the eyes of the world, his son was a handsome and chic, graceful, not close to women, and a handsome son who had no quarrel with the world. I still remember one time, a minister's daughter liked him, and the girl was a more lively and lovely person, and she didn't care about etiquette, so she wanted him to confess directly on the street, who would have thought that he looked the girl up and down directly, and said, "Didn't you look in the mirror?" Do you think you deserve this king with your appearance? "God, no matter how you say that she is also a girl, his words directly hit the little girl's heart a big blow, and after going back, she fell seriously ill, and since then she has rarely even gone out of the door. Because of this, no girl dared to confess to him anymore.
Why can't he see these things in him now, not only that, but he was afraid that he wouldn't find the princess before, so he asked the concubine to arrange several banquets to entertain the famous ladies in the capital, so that after he could contact those girls later, maybe he would take a fancy to someone, but the first few times he was deceived, and then he directly used his mother to blackmail him Saying that if he thought about finding him a princess again, he would directly take his mother to live in seclusion, which scared him a lot. In this way, it seems that this Cold Nine City is really unusual!
"Concubine De has arrived," shouted the father-in-law outside. As soon as the emperor heard that Concubine De had arrived, he directly drove Murong Xian away, just like he would rob his daughter-in-law with him. However, Murong Xian won't think about it so much now, as long as his father and emperor solve it for him, there will be a lot of things about his city, and naturally there is no reason to bother them here, so he simply said hello to his mother and concubine and retreated. But he thought about Leng Jiucheng's matter too simply, otherwise the rest would not have happened.
As soon as Murong Xian stepped out of the palace gate, Feng Shengyi came with the news, and said, "Lord Wang, the person who assassinated Prince Cheng before has news and has been arrested by our people, Lord Wang, do you want to go and take a look." Murong Xian's beautiful eyes narrowed, he was a little hesitant, afraid that hearing the result would be the same as he thought, but he has never been a person who is afraid of facing reality, if there is really it, it will be later, not now, and said, "Let's go!" Then he mounted his horse and walked down a deserted alley where almost no one lived, and soon came to a pawnshop, and when he saw that there was no one around, he went in.
The shopkeeper saw the person coming and said, "Childe has been waiting for you for a long time, and the person is locked in the basement." Murong Xian and Feng Shengyi both wore masks before entering the pawnshop, and no one could see what he looked like, so now Murong Xianbei nodded lightly to the shopkeeper, and said to Feng Shengyi, "You watch outside, I'll go down and take a look." Feng Sheng collared and found a place to hide, and then Murong Xian walked to the side and gently twisted a pair of places where the store key was hung, and the floor opened, and the shopkeeper entered the basement with Murong Xian, and the floor was closed again.
When he came to the basement, he went directly to the place where the assassin was closed, with his back to the assassin, even if he didn't speak, it gave people a creepy feeling, Murong first looked at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper understood, picked up the first red-hot brand and slowly walked towards the assassin, and said, "Say, who sent you to assassinate King Cheng, if you don't say it, you know." ”
The assassin's family burned red with red branding, and his legs were weak with fright, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "I said, I will tell you everything you want to know, I just ask you not to kill the villain, the villain has an eighty-year-old mother, and a five-year-old son is counting on the villain." ”
The shopkeeper said, "Say, who sent you here to kill King Cheng, and what is the purpose?" ”
The assassin looked at Murong Xian's back and was frightened and trembled, curled up to find a place, felt that he was like a Shura at such a stop, and stammered, "The villain doesn't know who sent the villain to kill King Cheng, the villain only knows that some time ago, a man in black suddenly came to us and gave us a lot of silver to build a dam in Bianzhou City, and the villain didn't know that person was King Cheng, if he knew that it was King Cheng, he would borrow a hundred guts from the villain, and the villain would not dare to assassinate the current prince!" ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at Murong Xian and listened to his opinion, Murong Xian still nodded slightly, the shopkeeper has been a secret guard for Murong Xian for so many years, although he never knew who he was, and he had never seen his true face, but he still knew what he meant just now, so he continued to ask, "Then what did you do before?" Your mission has failed, why did the person looking for you let you go? "The shopkeeper is also a scheming person, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, even if their mission does not fail, they will kill them in order to prevent the matter from being revealed, let alone fail.
