Chapter 43: The Case of the Shinogu Palace (1)

The letter was delivered to Princess Su'an of Jinci Palace near evening. On the one hand, Xiao Shuyu's people need to avoid the dark lines of all parties in the palace. On the other hand, Princess Su'an went out of the palace for some reason and did not return until it was close to evening. Xiao Yunyi, who received the letter, told the people who came at that time that they would come to visit early tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sun had just risen, the door of the Nanyang King's mansion was slammed. The housekeeper hurriedly came out to greet him, only to see a girl dressed in plain clothes, wearing a huge nocturnal cloak and covering her face, calmly walked into the Nanyang Palace. Xiao Shuyu, the king of Nanyang, had just gotten up, and he had not yet eaten, and was sitting in the main hall drinking tea. The woman didn't need to be led by others, and walked directly into the main hall of Nanyang Palace. Xiao Shuyu saw the visitor, put down the teacup, and stood up. The woman took off her cloak and sat down freely opposite Xiao Shuyu. Xiao Shuyu handed over the tea, sat down again and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Why don't we have a meal together? ”

"Nope. I lose my appetite when I think about it. Leave me alone, go ahead and I'll sit here by myself for a while. ”

Xiao Shuyu nodded, stood up and left the main hall. The woman sat in the main hall, closed her eyes and remained motionless. Seeing that the sun was rising, Xiao Shuyu also returned to the main hall. Seeing that the woman closed her eyes, she thought she was asleep, so she sat there silently. I heard the woman whisper: "I'm not asleep, do you want to start talking now?"

Xiao Shuyu was a little at a loss and said, "Well, when you're ready, let's start talking."

The woman opened her eyes and said, "Four years ago, Princess Lefu Xiao Chuyuan fell in love with the leader of the Imperial City Yulin Army, the second son of the Baili family, Baili Jinlin. The relationship between the two was tacitly approved by the Ling nobles, but the rest of the people in the imperial city did not know about it. Listening to the woman's words, Xiao Shuyu's memory also returned to the imperial city four years ago. And what happened back then seemed to be presented in front of Xiao Shuyu, the king of Nanyang.

—— —— ——

Four years ago, Princess Lefu Xiao Chuyuan met Baili Jinlin for the first time at the Flower Dynasty Festival. At that time, Baili Jinlin was heroic and suave, and he was a well-deserved candidate for the leader of the Yulin Army in the mouths of everyone. But what really made the two of them fall in love was an incident two weeks later. That night, an Assassin entered the palace. At that time, the most well-known assassin system in the Imperial City with the largest sphere of influence was the Jade Dragon Terrace. The people all know that the people of Yulongtai kill people without blinking, and they also kill some people who the people think have better character. The emperor has been ordering to track down the whereabouts of the Yulongtai assassins, but he has no choice but to find them to no avail. Lurking in the palace that night was Su Wen, the close-quarters assassin who ranked tenth on the Jade Dragon Terrace killer list. His target is a respected old minister in the palace - Chang Quyuan Taifu. That night, it happened that the emperor summoned Chang Taifu to come to the palace to ask some questions. Su Wen was afraid that he had gotten the news, so he sneaked into the palace and waited for an opportunity to assassinate Chang Taifu. It was only when the prince came out of the emperor's inner palace that the Taifu came out. And Su Wen has been waiting for Chang Quyuan to appear. Princess Lefu Xiao Chuyuan felt unwell that day and night, so she wanted to come out to breathe. She wandered around the palace, and when she was bored, she played hide and seek with the Yulin Army, and happened to meet Mrs. Chang who came out of the inner palace. The two greeted each other and then parted. Princess Love was about to leave when she saw something near the inner palace. So I ran over to pick it up and read it, this is exactly the book that Taifu left behind when he left. She opened the book and saw that it was a summary of some ancient books of the sages, and then looked at the first page of the book, which turned out to be summarized and compiled by Mrs. Chang himself to give to his grandson. Seeing this, Xiao Chuyuan understood that this thing should be of great use to Chang Taifu. So he took the book and went to catch up with Mrs. Chang. At this time, Chang Taifu had already walked to the darkest place in the palace. And just in time for the rotation of the palace, that time was when the guards were the weakest. Su Wen was about to make a move when he saw Xiao Chuyuan suddenly running over. Su Wen wanted to wait for Xiao Chuyuan to leave before making a move, but seeing that the next group of Yulin troops was about to come, he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so he also killed Xiao Chuyuan. The next shift of the rotation handover happened to be led by Baili Jinlin. Just as Su Wen flew down the eaves of the palace and was about to assassinate the two, Xiao Chuyuan, who had no intention of talking, noticed a black shadow flashing. She snatched Chang Taifu's book, threw it next to her, and dragged Chang Taifu to run towards Yulinjun's position, shouting "help" as she ran. Baili Jinlin, who was handing over, heard this faint voice and asked the people around him if they heard it. But no one around heard it, and the soldiers persuaded Baili Jinlin to go back to rest, it should be too tired. But Baili Jinlin didn't dare to take it lightly, and still mobilized all the Yulin troops around him to rush in the direction of the voice he heard. Su Wen knew that someone would definitely come when Xiao Chuyuan shouted like this, and he might be caught red-handed if he chased him, but in such a dark place, if he didn't do it at this time, when would he wait, not to mention that it was the time for the Yulin Army to hand over, how could he come over so quickly, maybe he didn't even hear it. So, he ran a few steps quickly and caught up with the two. Xiao Chuyuan was running, looking back, and seeing that the man had already caught up, he hurriedly pushed Chang Taifu, and turned around and wrestled with the man. When Mrs. Chang saw that the big thing was not good, she hurriedly ran forward and shouted. Xiao Chuyuan had a dagger that she carried with her, and that dagger was given to her by the emperor. She took out her dagger from her bosom and swung it at the man in front of her, constantly backing away. Su Wen knew that the person in front of him should not have any martial arts, but judging from the way he dressed, he should be a high-ranking and powerful person, and then looking at his appearance and age, he concluded that this must be a certain princess in the palace. Princess Su'an has always been veiled, but the person in front of her does not have a veil. The eldest princess should be a little older, and her clothes should be more luxurious than the person in front of her. Then the rest is Princess Love. Su Wen thought that Princess Lefu's biological mother was Ling Guiren, although she was higher than the nine concubines, she was the lowest among the three ladies. In addition, Ling Gui has a gentle temperament, not as tricky as Mrs. Yun, and he is also soft-spoken in the palace, even if a princess with a low status dies, there should be no problem. Besides, if you can't kill Chang Quyuan, you will definitely be punished when you go back, so it's better to kill a princess first to practice her hands and bury yourself. Thinking of this, Su Wen became even more determined in his murderous intent towards Xiao Chuyuan. He jumped in front of Xiao Chuyuan and grabbed the wrist of Xiao Chuyuan's hand holding the dagger. Xiao Chuyuan, who couldn't stand the pain, unconsciously slowly let go of the hand holding the dagger. Su Wen grabbed Xiao Chuyuan's wrist and slowly skimmed it back, Xiao Chuyuan had an idea, and took advantage of Su Wen's inattention, and stepped on Su Wen ruthlessly. Su Wen coldly felt a sharp pain, and subconsciously let go of Xiao Chuyuan's hand. Xiao Chuyuan ran forward when he got a vacancy, Su Wen reacted, picked up the dagger that Xiao Chuyuan fell to the ground and threw it forward. Xiao Chuyuan was very painful because his right arm was dragged by Su Wenlian, so his center of gravity fell forward unsteadily, and the dagger was inserted into Xiao Chuyuan's left shoulder, and Xiao Chuyuan immediately fainted. Su Wen was about to step forward when he saw a burst of fire not far away. He knew that something was wrong, so he jumped on the palace wall and fled. Baili Jinlin saw Su Wen who was fleeing, so he took a part of the people to chase and release arrows while chasing. The other part of the people followed Mrs. Chang and took Princess Lefu to find the imperial doctor. Su Wen was finally taken back to the imperial city and brought to the emperor. It's just that before the emperor could ask about the situation, he committed suicide by taking poison. And the primary hero who caught Su Wen was not Yulin Jun, but a person who passed by. When the man saw a man crouching in the darkness, he went over and inquired. When he saw that the man was bleeding from one of his arms and that there was an arrow beside him, he wanted to take the man back to his house. Su Wen also agreed to accept the help of the watchman, but when he got up, he accidentally dropped the identity incense card of Yulongtai, and Su Wen didn't know it, but he happened to be seen by the watchman. Su Wen was wounded by an arrow, and his mind was a little unclear, and when the watchman led Su Wen away, he knocked him unconscious to the ground while he was not paying attention. He also found Yu Linjun, who was looking for Su Wen, and took him away. Princess Xiao Chuyuan was seriously injured and finally woke up after being in a coma for two days. Mrs. Chang came to see Xiao Chuyuan once and thanked her repeatedly. Xiao Chuyuan was still thinking about throwing out Mrs. Chang's book, and she was very guilty. Fortunately, the book has been found, and the guilt in Xiao Chuyuan's heart is a little less. Then there are the princesses, princes, and emperors in the palace who came to visit. The person who surprised Xiao Chuyuan the most to visit her was Baili Jinlin. She had heard the name of Baili Jinlin many times, but she had only seen it once at the Flower Dynasty Festival. Baili Jinlin's first words when he came to Xiaoyi Palace to see Xiao Chuyuan were to ask Xiao Chuyuan for his guilt. This made Xiao Chuyuan a little confused.

"Why plead guilty."

"Wechen didn't protect the safety of Princess Holef, this is Wechen's fault."

"It's okay. General Baili is so busy every day, and the safety of the imperial city depends on General Baili to guard Fang Taiping. Lefu just happened to experience this time, and General Baili didn't have to worry about it. ”

"No, it is indeed Wei Chen's responsibility to let the princess suffer such a serious injury."

"And how do you want me to punish you?"

"It's all at the princess's orders."

"Then you can guard the Imperial City well, I don't need you to do anything here."

"Princess, doesn't she really need Weichen to do anything?"

"Well, no."

"That Weichen retreated."

After that, every two days, Shinonomiya would receive some nourishing food. Xiao Chuyuan knew in his heart that this was sent by Baili Jinlin, and he did not explicitly prohibit Xiaoyi Palace from receiving these things, but he ate the things sent by Baili Jinlin every day. After about half a month, Xiao Chuyuan's injuries were healed. Early that morning, she went to Baili Mansion to thank her, but she didn't expect to see the scene of Baili Jinlin being dealt with by the family law. The law enforcer is Baili Jinlin's brother, Baili Xun. Xiao Chuyuan heard Baili Xun scolding Baili Jinlin with ugly words, and it also involved himself. It's roughly a matter of Baili Jinlin giving himself tonic products. Although Baili Jinlin is the leader of the Yulin Army, he is brave and martial in the face of the enemy, but he is still very gentle in front of the ministers, princes and nobles, and now he is indeed a respectful and respectful younger brother in front of Baili Xun, listening to the teachings of his brother, without a word of refutation. But Xiao Chuyuan heard the cynicism in Baili Xun's words, and also heard that Baili Xun was simply finding fault with nothing. Xiao Chuyuan, who was angry, rushed out and stood in front of Baili Xun and scolded him. Bai Lixun, who faced the princess, couldn't say a word, so he had to nod his head in response. In the end, Xiao Chuyuan pulled up Baili Jinlin and left Baili Mansion.
