"Hmph, by the time you come to save this palace, those assassins will have already succeeded!"

The queen mother's face was gloomy, obviously dissatisfied with these guards on duty in the palace today, especially the group of royal forest troops led by the second prince, who were able to let those assassins sneak into the imperial garden to assassinate.

The second prince, Xiao Yuxian, hurriedly bowed down and apologized: "Queen Mother, it was the son's poor supervision that frightened the Queen Mother!" ”

The queen mother had a gloomy face, and scolded impatiently: "Okay, quickly check the palace, what kind of person is so lawless, and actually ran to the palace to assassinate!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yuxian hugged his fists, answered with a sound in his mouth, and divided a group of royal forest troops to guard the queen mother and others, and then he took another wave of people to track down those assassins.

After Xiao Yuxian left, the queen mother walked in front of Yan Zixi and asked with a gentle face.

"Zixi, how are you, are you hurt?"

If Yan Zixi hadn't flown in time to save herself, I'm afraid she would have to confess here today. Therefore, even if the queen mother has any prejudice against Yan Zixi, she has completely let go of her prejudices at this moment and cares about her injuries.

Yan Zixi barely squeezed out a wry smile, and replied in her mouth: "Queen Lao is concerned, Zixi only suffered a little skin injury, so it doesn't matter." ”

Yan Zixi was surprised by this assassination. It stands to reason that the palace is heavily guarded, let alone an assassin, even a fly can't fly in, why would an assassin run to the imperial garden to assassinate?

And it happened to be on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, it seems that it must have been planned for a long time, and it is even more familiar with the garrison and terrain in the palace, and even someone in the palace may respond to it.

The queen mother seemed to be particularly concerned about Yan Zixi's injury, she shook her head, and said again: "Zixi, this palace should ask the imperial doctor to come and show you the injury, otherwise this palace is not very relieved." ”

Well?

Yan Zixi was a little confused, when did this queen mother care so much about herself? Could it be that because she had just saved her, she had a guilty conscience, so she wanted to make amends?

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi chuckled again and replied: "Back to the queen's mother, Zixi herself is a doctor, so I still know if the injury is serious, so I don't need to disturb the doctors in the hospital." The queen's kindness, Zixi understood it, Zixi is really fine. ”

"By the way, you yourself are the imperial doctor, and this palace actually forgot about it, I was really confused." The queen patted her forehead, pondered slightly for a while, and then said to Yan Zixi: "Since it's okay, then the palace is also a little relieved, Zixi, you can rest assured, this time the assassination, the palace will definitely give you an explanation, and will definitely not let those assassins get away with it!" ”

"What the queen said is very true, but Zixi really can't understand one thing." Yan Zixi didn't want to mention it, but it was really uncomfortable to hold it in her heart.

At this time, Mrs. Xiao glared at Yan Zixi, and coughed lightly a few times in her mouth, as if to remind Yan Zixi to pay attention to her words.

Seeing this, Yan Zixi immediately stepped aside and said no more.

The queen mother smiled faintly and waved her hand at Yan Zixi, "Xi'er, if you have any questions, just ask, this palace knows that it will answer." ”

Yan Zixi was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Mrs. Xiao beside her, as if she was seeking his opinion.

When Mrs. Xiao saw that the queen mother said this, she couldn't stop it, so she had to follow the queen's words and said, "Xi'er, since the queen mother has spoken, you just have to say it." ”

"Yes......"

Yan Zixi nodded in response, and then asked the doubts in her heart.

"Empress Qi, this imperial garden is an important place in the palace, guarded by the royal guards and guards inside and out, why are there assassins breaking into the assassination, but the queen doesn't know it?"

As soon as Yan Zixi said this, the concubines next to her immediately sounded in surprise.

"What does this Princess Xiao mean by saying such things now? Could it be that she suspected that the assassin had something to do with the queen's mother? ”

"That's it, Princess Xiao is inevitably too rude, even if she has just saved the queen's mother, now saying this kind of thing is enough to ask for guilt!"

"Hmph, it's really unruly, and you dare to question the queen's mother, it's really hateful!"

Mrs. Xiao heard the discussion of the concubines around her, and her face became very ugly, she knew that this was the case, she shouldn't have let Yan Zixi speak just now.

However, the queen mother was not only not angry, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer.

"Xi'er, good question! Hongu also wants to know what kind of heavenly skills those assassins have, and they can run into this imperial garden to assassinate in public! ”

The queen also had anger on her face, not like she was pretending, and it seemed that she should have nothing to do with these assassins.

Moreover, the target of those assassins is the queen mother, and the queen mother does not need to hire assassins to murder herself, how does this not make sense?

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi hurriedly explained. 29GG

"The queen mother forgives the sin, Zixi is definitely not questioning the queen mother...... It's really that this assassination incident is very strange, and Zixi will feel strange. ”

Yan Zixi's words immediately made the concubines who were talking about it just now shut up. Although they were unwilling, they didn't want to say anything more.

"Queen Mother, Zixi has just been injured a little, and I want to go back to rest first, and I ask the Queen Mother for approval.

"Well, it should be." The queen mother nodded, and then looked at Mrs. Xiao on the side, "Mrs. Xiao, since Xi'er is injured, I bother you to send her back to recuperate, and the palace will send the Imperial Forest Army to escort you all the way back to the Zhenguo General's Mansion." ”

"Thank you, Queen." Mrs. Xiao bowed down and thanked her, and Yan Zixi also thanked her.

After thanking them, Mrs. Xiao and Yan Zixi left the palace under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army and got into the carriage back to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

On the carriage, Mrs. Xiao had a gloomy face, as if she was very dissatisfied with Yan Zixi's words and deeds just now.

"What nonsense do you say you are talking about in front of the queen mother? Fortunately, the queen is generous and not angry, otherwise I don't know what disaster will be caused to our Zhenguo General's Mansion! Mrs. Xiao snorted indignantly.

Yan Zixi sat aside with her head down, she knew that Mrs. Xiao was angry, so she didn't dare to touch Mrs. Xiao's brow now.

So he was silent, and let Mrs. Xiao criticize herself in the carriage.

After Mrs. Xiao scolded for a while, she was also tired, and seeing that Yan Zixi hadn't spoken all this time, she didn't bother to continue scolding, so she glanced aside and ignored Yan Zixi.

……

In the queen's pavilion, those concubines and ladies who were originally excited to participate in the Flower Dynasty Festival suddenly encountered the assassin's assassination, and they were completely disinterested.

The queen mother sat in the gazebo, drinking the tea of shock, her face did not look good, and she was probably still annoyed by the assassin's assassination just now.

After a while, the second prince, Xiao Yuxian, hurried over with the guards.

"Sons see the queen mother!"

"Let's be flat."

The queen mother glanced at Xiao Yuxian, and hurriedly asked, "Second brother, how is the assassin tracking?" ”

The second prince, Xiao Yuxian, looked a little ugly when he heard this, "After returning to my mother, I have already caught two assassins who committed assassinations. ”

"Oh?! What about them? But what is the result? The queen mother immediately became interested and asked about Xiao Yuxian.

"Erchen is incompetent, and when he caught those two assassins, he couldn't stop them in time, and the two assassins had already committed suicide......"

"What ?!?" Hearing this, the queen mother slapped the table angrily and stood up suddenly.

was so frightened that Xiao Yuxian and the concubines next to him all knelt on the ground and were silent.

's face was a little unpleasant: "Who instructed the assassin, can you investigate clearly?" ”

"Second brother, you were on duty today, but you let those assassins run into the Imperial Garden to assassinate. Now that I haven't been able to catch the mouth, if the emperor asks about it, how do you let the palace explain it in front of the emperor? The queen scolded angrily.

"The queen mother forgives her sins, and the sons will definitely find out the origin and mastermind of those assassins as soon as possible, and will definitely give an explanation to the queen mother and father!"

Strange to say, why did those assassins assassinate the queen? The queen mother does not participate in political affairs, has always lived in the harem, and has little contact with those ministers in the court.

Xiao Yuxian really couldn't understand the purpose of those assassins to assassinate the queen. He always had a vague feeling that the assassins might have someone else, but they had just misunderstood......

But these are just Xiao Yuyan's guesses, and he doesn't dare to jump to conclusions until he finds out the truth of the matter.

It's that Yan Zixi, I heard that this time she saved the queen mother in time, presumably the queen mother must be grateful to her, and if she wants to move her in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

But it doesn't matter, it is less than three days before the deadline stipulated by the emperor, and Xiao Jingcong still has found nothing, and has not found any clues at all.

When the agreed deadline arrives, the emperor Long Yan is furious, and he will definitely be angry at the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and at that time, not only Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi, but the entire Zhenguo General's Mansion will be severely punished by the emperor, and the Zhenguo General's Mansion is not to worry.

So Xiao Yuxian is not worried about the Zhenguo General's Mansion now, just rotten meat on a chopping board. For now, let's find out about the assassin's assassination incident and calm the anger of the queen mother.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuxian asked the queen to take his leave, saying that he would continue to investigate the assassin.

The queen waved her hand and motioned for Xiao Yuxian to step back, it was useless to continue to stay here, since he was going to check, let him check it.
