Chapter 136: Secretly Delivering the Letter
Ouyang Qian had been escaping from her mother clan for some time, and at first she didn't go to Qin Boyong as Gu Muzhi said, afraid that Zhou Xun would secretly follow her, so she found a place to hide by herself.
I never thought that I would meet my old friend in a tavern in the suburbs, and they were very happy to see each other again, plus they were both single, so the two naturally came together and found a sparsely populated place to live here temporarily.
Every day is quite free, but Ouyang Qian's heart has always been worried about Gu Muzhi, after thinking about it, she decided to go to Jingzhou to find Qin Boyong, tell him what happened to her mother's family, and let him take someone to save Gu Muzhi.
Ouyang Qian told her friend about this, and when she heard it, she smiled disapprenosingly, "Qianqian, isn't it just a letter?" Why do you have to go there yourself? ”
The friend's tone was mocking, Ouyang Qian was puzzled, at this time, the friend whistled towards the sky, and after a while, a carrier pigeon flew and stopped steadily in her hand.
Seeing this, Ouyang Qian understood the meaning of her friend, and it was also that what could be done with a carrier pigeon naturally didn't need her to take this risk herself, maybe the people of her mother clan were setting a trap in Jingzhou, just waiting for herself to fall into the net.
A friend borrowed paper and a pen from the shopkeeper, Ouyang Qian bowed her head and wrote on the table, and after a while, a white piece of paper was already densely covered with black letters. After carefully checking it and making sure that there was nothing missing, he carefully rolled it up and handed it to his friend. After a while, the pigeon with the letter disappeared from the sight of the two.
Inside the palace of King Qin.
Seeing that the matter of the uprising had just been resolved, Qin Boyong finally had to return to the mansion to deal with his own affairs.
"What are you doing in a panic? Could it be that you stole something? Xiao Liu was guarding the door of the study, and he saw the housekeeper coming over in a panic from afar, because he was restless, he didn't pay attention for a while and almost fell, Xiao Liu hurriedly went up to hug him, and couldn't help but joke.
"Oh, when is it, don't make fun of me, you kid. By the way, what about the prince? Something is wrong!
Xiaoliu took the housekeeper into the study, Qin Boyong was tired, he was lying on the rocking chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, the movement of the two was too big, which woke him up, he got up unhappily and looked at the two coldly.
"What's wrong?" Qin Boyong squinted his eyes and asked, Xiao Liu is reckless, he has always made a fuss on weekdays, but the housekeeper is doing things safely, and now he is also messing around.
"Back to the prince, something big happened in the palace! The emperor is dead! ”
When Qin Boyong heard this, he immediately stood up reflexively, "Is this true?" The emperor is in good health, how could he suddenly die? ”
"Someone was instructed to kill the emperor while he was asleep."
Qin Boyong immediately felt that this matter was not simple, the emperor died, and no one in the palace came to inform him of such an important matter, so he was too distracted from him, the prince!
Qin Boyong's eyes tightened, no wonder the ministers from all over the world have been running to the palace these days, it turns out that he doesn't know about this matter all day long, "When did it happen?" ”
"Last night, the imperial doctor failed to rescue the emperor, and he was assassinated a few days ago. Lord, you still don't want to go to the palace these days, right? The housekeeper had just come back from the street, and there were rumors everywhere that the prince had sent someone to kill the emperor, so he was shocked, and after asking people about the cause of the matter, he hurried back to report the matter to Qin Boyong.
As he was talking, a group of palace guards came, and they rushed into the palace in several ways, and after a while, they were surrounded inside and out.
The scene in front of him did not make Qin Boyong feel flustered, from the words of the housekeeper and the situation he had observed recently, he had already guessed something, and at this moment, the palace suddenly sent someone, I am afraid that he was suspicious.
"Lord Wang, come with us." Before he saw him, he heard his voice first, and a team of people walked in at the door, and Qin Boyong recognized at a glance that the leader was the most important shadow guard beside the emperor.
"May I ask, who is looking for this king?" Qin Boyong had a smile on his face, but if he looked closely, he could see that there was a knife hidden in that smile.
"The Prince." After speaking, he waved his hand to the person behind him, and for a while, the two of them rushed to Qin Boyong and made a gesture to tie him up, but they were dodged by Qin Boyong's dexterous flash.
"I'm afraid it's going to be hard for the prince this time."
"Don't come here, who dares to tie up this king!" Qin Boyong's tone was full of anger, the truth of the matter hadn't come out yet, why did he treat him like a prisoner now?
"Lord Wang..." The butler stopped talking on the side, looking at him worriedly, but there was nothing he could do, the people in front of him were all sent from the palace, how could he afford to provoke him?
Qin Boyong glanced around, but didn't see Xiao Liu's figure, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to his usual cold appearance.
"Lord Wang, let's go."
Seeing that Qin Boyong was very resistant to being tied up, the shadow guards led by him no longer insisted, but secretly glanced at his subordinates, asking them to pay more attention on the way to the meeting.
Before leaving, Qin Boyong called the housekeeper to him and whispered a few words. After listening to this, the housekeeper nodded heavily, and watched his prince being taken away.
The emperor's bones are still stored in the palace, after all, the truth of the matter is not known yet, and the emperor can't die like this. These days, the crown prince is busy dealing with his father's funeral affairs and other things inside and outside the palace, and it seems that he has grown a lot.
Qin Boyong was half-pushed in front of the prince, "The minister sees His Royal Highness the prince." He calmly bowed to the prince, and there was not the slightest fear or weakness in his body.
Without waiting for the prince to speak, the prince had a cold face on the side, as if Qin Boyong had made a big mistake.
"Uncle Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time." The prince was entangled in his heart, the expression on his face seemed to be smiling, and his hands were a little overwhelmed and tugging at his sleeves.
"If the crown prince summons this king into the palace today to inquire about the emperor's murder, this king can calmly say that this matter was not done by this king."
"The prince has a big breath, presumably the prince doesn't know that the murderer has confessed, and said that all this was instructed by the prince."
"Is there any evidence? Wang Gonggong is a smart person, I'm afraid he won't be unaware of the saying that everything must be complete with evidence. ”
"You!" Wang Gonggong was a little unconvinced, and now Qin Boyong heard that no matter what he said, he was just looking for an excuse to excuse himself.
