Chapter Ninety-One: Assassination
"Lord Ye, you can just sit here. ”
Liu Jing led them to sit in a seat very close to the throne, Ye Qinzhu played a drum in his heart, sat down behind Ye Yan without making a sound, and sat side by side with Ye Sheng.
The palace concubines and concubines have arrived, but the princes have not all arrived.
Many princes were not in the capital before, but this time the emperor summoned them back, and unfamiliar faces suddenly appeared in the palace.
Ye Qinzhu glanced at it and found that there was no one she was familiar with except for the third prince, so she continued to sit in her seat, waiting for the arrival of the emperor and the rest.
"The prince has arrived—" A sharp voice attracted Ye Qinzhu's attention, she hid her eyes as much as possible, but she still couldn't help but look in the direction where the voice came from.
Accompanied by the shouts of the eunuchs, a person wearing a black-bottomed python robe walked up the steps steadily.
Yang Qinghan, Prince of Ningguo, has one in Chinese New Year's Eve. When Emperor Anding was twenty-four years old, the current empress came out.
The queen is constantly favored, and she has both ability and political integrity, and the status of Prince Yang Qinghan is unshaken.
He inherited the beauty and atmosphere of the queen, a bookish face elegant and gentle, his steps were calm and powerful, and his gestures were full of etiquette and dignity.
This is the crown prince of Ningguo, the man who tried to kill his brother.
Ye Qinzhu followed the courtiers and got up and saluted Yang Qinghan.
Yang Qinghan smiled and raised his hand, signaling for a waiver. A pair of peach blossom eyes swept across Ye Qinzhu behind Ye Yan, and the smile that overflowed his eyes instantly receded, and a sneer slowly climbed up the corners of his mouth.
Ye Qinzhu felt a chill, motionless and let his eyes slaughter.
Why did this man notice her, and even think about her?
Ye Qinzhu narrowed his eyes, constantly calculating in his mind when he noticed her.
Tim Xiang Lou, Moqin Courtyard, Teahouse Listening to Books, or when did he accidentally enter his eyeliner's field of vision?
Yang Qinghan smiled like a spring breeze, but he showed her his killing intent without scruples, Ye Qinzhu couldn't help but tremble after carefully recalling it.
It seemed that someone was whispering in her ear.
No matter how well you pretend, I can see through you. You've been on my list since a certain time.
In the afterglow, Yang Qinghan saw a beautiful arc at the corner of Ye Qinzhu's mouth, and the girl smiled silently.
What if you are seen through? Why did you kill? How to kill? Ye Qinzhu still hung his head and didn't look at Yang Qinghan.
My life is in my hands, and it can't be wiped out with a hint from you.
"Your Majesty—" the eunuch shouted again.
Ye Qinzhu turned his head and knelt down in another direction.
Everyone moved in unison, kneeling down towards the emperor and shouting long live.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The sound was loud, lingering on the carved beams of the palace, rushing out of the imperial city, piercing Kyoto, and shrouding the sky over Ningguo.
Emperor Yang Mingshi, five out of fifty, is not old, but he has been addicted to elixir refining for a long time, vainly trying to live forever, not only wasting his spiritual power in vain, but even squandering his body.
Now the old man who staggered forward, the first time anyone saw him, would think that he was at least old.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat. Ye Qinzhu heard an old voice.
The emperor, supported by the empress, sat down on the dragon chair, looked around at the people seated, and suddenly said in confusion:
"Today's palace banquet, why don't you see the seventh child?"
"Your Majesty. Liu Jing had already expected that the emperor would ask questions, and hurriedly stepped forward to answer, "The seventh prince suddenly felt unwell in the palace, so the old slave helped him to go to the side hall to rest, and then greeted the emperor after his body recovered." ”
"I see. The old emperor laughed and stopped pursuing it.
Obviously, the fourth prince and the seventh prince have not arrived, why did the emperor only ask the seventh prince Ye Qinzhu frowned slightly, not quite understanding this.
"Today is not only Chinese New Year's Eve, but also the death day of Concubine Xian. Ye Sheng squirmed his lips silently, and used his spiritual power to transmit his words to Ye Qinzhu.
"The emperor can forget his concubine, but the fourth prince cannot forget his mother. ”
I was fortunate to go home to save my relatives, but I lost my life on the way home, such a fate, the death of the virtuous concubine is really sighing.
Ye Qinzhu sighed silently, and then heard a few words from the emperor and queen to appease the ministers, and began to push the cup and change the lamp.
"Today's cup of wine, I salute Ye Xiang, the father of the high priest, I hope that Ye Xiang can continue to serve the Ning Kingdom, and I also hope that the high priest Ye Qinmei can bless me Daning and live a long life. ”
Ye Yan and Zhao Lingzhang hurriedly stood up and brought up the two children behind them who volunteered to be the background board.
Ye Qinzhu ate wine and watched the singing and dancing silently.
The royal banquet was really serious, and it was not as comfortable as the laughter and laughter of Tianxianglou. In addition to appreciating the singing and dancing, Ye Qinzhu really didn't plan to draw any useful news from the conversation.
The minister is in front of the king, reporting good news but not bad news, how can he tell the hard life of the people of Ningguo today?
After three rounds of drinking, the monarch and ministers were in just the right mood, and the old emperor lazily stretched out his hand, pointed to the few foreigners that Ye Qinzhu noticed when he came in, and asked half-heartedly:
"You envoys of the country, offer everything that should be offered. ”
As soon as the emperor's words came out, Ye Qinzhu almost choked on a sip of wine, and hurriedly ate a mouthful of food to suppress his shock.
only won one game, but thanks to Yang Qingtan, who was scrupled by him, this emperor dared to be so arrogant.
Is it because the elixir is not delicious, or is Anguo too weak?
What the emperor said was so embarrassing, but the envoy of Anguo was not angry, but got up, took a picture scroll from the hand of his entourage, and came to the emperor with it.
"The army of Ningguo is mighty, and we can't wait for the dust, and this time Anguo sent me here to show His Majesty the twenty cities that will be allocated to Ningguo as promised. ”
After speaking, he stepped forward, placed the scroll on the table, and opened it respectfully.
Ye Qinzhu's heart moved, and he suddenly stared at the movements of the Anguo envoy with wide eyes.
Open the book, reveal the painting, finger drawing, the actions of the Anguo envoy are like flowing water, all in one go, so that people can't see any clues.
Ye Qinzhu raised his finger lightly, frowning and staring at the envoy's every move.
Suddenly, the picture was poor.
The picture scroll was all unfolded, and a dagger with cold light was displayed in front of the old emperor, and the envoy of Anguo grabbed the dagger and stabbed it into the old emperor's heart.
There was a scream in the hall, and in the midst of the shouting, the dagger was suddenly hit by a stone that was split through the air.
The preoccupied Anguo envoy tilted his hand, and the dagger was stabbed into the pillar beside the old emperor.
"Escort! Escort!" everything happened too quickly, and Liu Jing's scream sounded in time after the Anguo envoy missed the blow and fled from the road.
The Anguo envoy rushed out, completely unconcerned about the two dead soldiers who were traveling with him, and quickly went through the knowledge he had gained in his mind.
In the palace of Ningguo, there are two masters with more than eight stars.
But the strange thing is that these two masters did not make a move in the process of assassination, on the contrary, the spirit value contained in the stone that hit them had just reached the third level of six stars.
The old emperor is very likely to be set aside, and the initiator is the prince who has already supervised the country, and when he breaks through the Ning Kingdom, the bow and arrow should not be aimed at the old emperor, but the prince.
As for that six-star spirit master, he could determine the location from Ye Yan, and he didn't know if it was his daughter or son.
The man was cleverly timed, and the stone rolled on the ground, and no one could tell where it came from.
She was not in the mood to show loyalty to the emperor, on the contrary, the reason for saving the emperor may just be because she couldn't bear it.
Such a person should pay more attention to Ning Guo when he dies, but if he annihilates the royal family, he doesn't have to worry about her.
The guards on the left and right rushed in, and the Anguo envoy slid into an inner room, and as soon as he entered the room, he found someone sitting in the center of the room burning incense.
At this time, there was still someone who could stay alone in the side hall? The envoy of Anguo roughly guessed the identity of that person, and without hesitation at the moment, his hands were bent like eagle claws, and he pulled out the man's heart.
