After Mu Xiu received his order to leave, Li Yiqian looked at the Lan people on the side, and then said, "The envoys are frightened, please go to the palace with me." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the palace. The envoys of the Lan Kingdom who stayed in place all looked at Gongsun Ce with a look of horror, waiting for his decision. Gongsun Ce noticed the eyes of those people staring at him, threw down the bloody knife in his hand without care, and said coldly: "What are you doing in a daze?" Let's go. After speaking, he took the lead in keeping up with Li Yiqian's pace.

Those envoys had to follow quickly, you know, their emperor is very fond of this imperial brother, if something happens to him in Huaguo, they will not have to live. Now in Huajing, someone openly wants to assassinate him, how can this not be terrifying.

After they all left, the guards who were guarding near the palace also dispersed in an orderly manner. Speaking of which, these people are Sun Ze's henchmen, and they were almost brought out by him. When Sun Ze first arranged the position, he told them what might happen today, so now they know how to deal with the accident.

After a stick of incense, there were many people sitting in the Ascension Palace, which should have been empty at this hour. In addition to the Chinese people, there are also the envoys of the Lan country. At this time, they were discussing the scene that had just happened on the street.

"Your Majesty Emperor Hua, my Lan Kingdom is sincerely friendly with your country, but the county lord of Huaiyu was assassinated on the wedding day, and I ask Emperor Hua to give me a reasonable explanation for Lan Kingdom." It was a person with a relatively high status among the envoys of the Lan Kingdom who spoke. If there is no good reason for today's events, then their Lan Kingdom will simply become a joke in the whole world. sent the county lord and relatives, but was assassinated on the wedding day.

At this time, Li Yiqian naturally didn't need to speak, and Xu Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, directly refuted him. "My lord, we heard it clearly on the street just now, those assassins originally assassinated Prince Ce, not Lord Huaiyu. It can be seen that the county lord has suffered an unjustified disaster. ”

Xu Jing is also very empty in his heart at this time, you must know that they are all responsible for these ceremonies, but there is such a big mistake at this time, to say that the black gauze hat on the head will be lost, but it is more likely that the head will fall to the ground directly, so at this time he must turn the situation back, and when the time comes, I only hope that the emperor can read that he can be light-hearted in his little credit.

"According to what this lord said, is it forgivable for you Chinese people to assassinate our imperial brother? Don't you say that the official also forgot, these people speak pure Chinese Chinese, not the language of our Lan country, which shows that they are definitely Chinese! Has the security in Huajing reached this point? The Assassins were allowed to come and go freely. The person who could be sent out as an envoy was naturally very clever, and he quickly caught the loophole in Xu Jing's words.

"It's better for Ben Hou to answer these questions." Mu Xiu had already told Sun Ze what had happened on the way here just now, and he had also met with his own people and knew some inside information. "According to the guards near the palace just now, those people's martial arts are by no means idle, and they should come from organizations on the rivers and lakes. Adults also know that Jianghu people have always taken money to do things, as long as there is enough money, no matter what kind of business they will take. ”

"Do you mean that I, the people of Lan Country, sent someone to assassinate my imperial brother and the county lord of Huaiyu! It's ridiculous! "That envoy experienced the assassination storm just now, and he was already uncomfortable, but at this time, seeing that the people of Huaguo were still arguing like this, he couldn't help it for a long time.

On the contrary, Sun Ze was very indifferent, "Ben Hou heard that although the assassin just now shouted the name of the prince, he was clearly going in the direction of my emperor. Or did Concubine Yi sacrifice herself to protect her and fail to hurt my emperor, who is who among them has not yet been decided! ”

The two sides insisted on their own words, and they quarreled in the main hall of the ascending palace, but Li Yiqian and Gongsun Ce, who were the highest status in the two countries here, did not say a word the whole time, just sat there quietly and watched them argue.

It wasn't until Wang Gu walked in that Li Yiqian spoke up to stop their quarrel. "Okay, don't argue, we'll discuss it later. Wang Gu, look at what kind of poison is on Concubine Yi's wound. ”

Just now, Gongsun Yi blocked a knife for Li Yiqian, but the knife was highly poisonous, so she died on the spot, and she didn't even have time to leave a last word. After Li Yiqian left, someone carried her body back, and it was placed on the main hall of the Ascension Palace at this time, but those people were fighting for a favorable position for their country, so they didn't notice her, and at this time, after hearing Li Yiqian say this, they thought of Gongsun Yi's body that was placed there.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's really uncomfortable to look at. Originally, when he was outside just now, Gongsun Yi was only stabbed, so everything else was intact except for that place, but at this time, the appearance of the corpse in front of him was a little unsightly.

I saw that her upper body was centered on the place where she was stabbed just now, and the outermost layer of skin had begun to decay, and the flesh and blood inside could be vaguely seen. In addition, the blood vessels on her face have turned purple for some reason, and even the powder rubbed on the outside can't hide the oozing color.

Seeing the appearance of this corpse, Wang Gu frowned. took out a small wooden stick from his medicine box, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, stepped forward, squatted there and gently pressed her face with a wooden stick, only to see that he didn't use much force, but a blood hole appeared on Gongsun Yi's face, and what flowed out of it was not red blood, but a purple liquid.

This made the faces of the people in the hall change, but the reason for the change was different. The Chinese people were frightened for a while because they had never seen such a terrifying side. And the people of Languo are because of this poison in Gongsun Yi.

When Wang Gu saw the scene in front of him, although he had already guessed in his heart, he still had a white face. Reluctantly stood up, walked to a place some distance from the corpse and stood still.

"Wang Gu, do you know what kind of poison this is?" Seeing him standing back, Li Yiqian asked.

"Back to the emperor, if the minister is not mistaken, this poison comes from a poisonous weed called Ronglan that is unique to the Lan country." Wang Gu didn't wait for Li Yiqian to ask, and then explained, "The reason why it is said that it is unique to the Lan Kingdom is because this Rong Lan can only survive where the Lan Country Sacred Lake is located, and if she leaves there, she will immediately wither. What's more, even in the Holy Lake, Ronglan's survival rate is extremely low. However, because of its toxic domineering, as early as a hundred years ago, Emperor Lan ordered the destruction of all the existing Ronglan. Therefore, this poison is not common even in Lan Kingdom, let alone Hua Kingdom. ”

As soon as the word "Rong Lan" came out, those Lan people seemed to be frightened one by one. You must know that compared to the Chinese people, these Lan people know more about the grass Ronglan, and if they are poisoned by the juice extracted from it, they will definitely die, because it will be poisonous in an instant, and the venom will slowly penetrate the whole body. And the final state of death will be very miserable, the whole body will fester, and the skin on the face will be extremely fragile, and it will rot when touched.

And Wang Gu's words directly wiped out the suspicion of the Chinese Kingdom in this matter, and his meaning was obvious, this kind of poison came from the Lan Kingdom, and it is not common in your country, let alone in our country. This incident was clearly caused by the infighting in your own country, and it almost harmed our emperor.

"I don't know what Prince Ce thinks about this?" Li Yiqian did not follow Wang Gu's words and question the people of Lan Kingdom, but looked at Gongsun Ce.

"Let the emperor be frightened, this matter has nothing to do with Huaguo. It was those Xiaoxiao who saw the marriage between my Lan Kingdom and Hua Guo and their hearts were resentful, so that such a situation would occur. It's just that I don't know how those people can mobilize so many martial arts masters, and I ask Emperor Hua to investigate this matter in detail. Gongsun Ce was as calm as ever, and he didn't show any surprised expression because of this Rong Lan.

"This is natural, even if the prince does not mention me, he will not let go of those who are bold and reckless." Speaking of this, Li Yiqian paused for a moment before continuing, "Sun Ze, immediately lead people to martial law in the whole city, and be sure to find out the details of these assassins!" If there is any more trouble, you can ask yourself to guard the city gates! ”

"Obey the order." Sun Ze knew that this matter would fall on him, because the security of Huajing was originally under his control, and now that such a thing has happened, he is duty-bound. Moreover, the emperor did not condemn him for this, and he felt very lucky. It's just that he also knows that this matter is probably like this. Because he suddenly thought that the emperor had called him to the Qiangong alone, told him about the things that needed to be arranged today, and also mentioned the matter of the guards at the gate of the palace, and the most important thing was that the emperor also mentioned to him what might happen today, and asked him to remind his subordinates to pay attention.

Could it be that the emperor knew early on that there was going to be chaos today? Sun Ze didn't dare to continue thinking about it. But at the same time, he also knew that this was a sign of the emperor's trust in him, which strengthened his loyalty to Li Yiqian.

"The Lone Society sent an order to the Imperial Brother, telling him to pay close attention to the movements near the Holy Lake. This time, it was the lonely one who affected the emperor and the imperial sister, and the royal sister died. Gongsun Ce said as if he was a little sad.

"Concubine Yi died to protect me, so let's posthumously be crowned as a concubine and be buried in the royal mausoleum on a certain day." Li Yiqian knew that Gongsun Ce was asking for his own "attitude", so he simply gave a decision.

"Emperor Hua still cremated the imperial sister, and set up a mound for her. Otherwise, after a long time, this Ronglan poison will be contagious, and it will be difficult to clean it up at that time. Gongsun Ce reminded.

"Your Majesty, the prince is reasonable, please think twice." Wang Gu also followed his words.

"Since this is the case, then replace the body with clothes and bury Concubine Yi in the royal mausoleum. As for the corpses, let's be cremated. ”
