Xiao Yue hurriedly took a few steps back with Gu Nian in his arms, although the knife did not hurt Gu Nian, his eyes were already cold.

His murderous appearance was really amazing, Gu Nian hadn't really seen him angry, I saw him protect Gu Nian behind him with one hand, and with the other hand, he went straight to meet the blade that was chopping over, clamped the blade with both hands, and broke the blade with force, he flicked his fingers and flicked his sleeve, and the blade went straight into the assassin's neck.

At the same time, he quickly kicked the other Assassin in the heart, and when he heard a 'click', the Assassin spurted out a mouthful of blood and was kicked into the water.

At this moment, the guards of the Four Princes' Mansion had already felt that they had rushed from all directions to capture a few assassins who were still struggling to survive.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Xiao Yue took Gu Nian to the side, touched it up and down, and saw that Gu Nian was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that his lips were pursed tightly, his teeth were clenched, his eyes were faintly red, the hand on Gu Nian's body trembled slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice,

"What are you doing, you don't want to die, pounce like that, do you think my kung fu is learned in vain? I'm rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and it's okay to get a little hurt, you...... What if it hurt......s you?"

looked like he was full of emotion, he wanted to beat it, but he was reluctant to beat it, but he felt damn warm in his heart, and all kinds of emotions were surging in his heart.

After speaking, he saw Gu Nian's stunned appearance, and rubbed her face as if to appease, and said softly, "I'm too anxious, I'm sorry, don't block the knife for me like this next time, as long as you are good." ”

Gu Nian hugged his waist, rubbed his face against his chest, looking at him like this, his heart was indescribably sweet, "Am I fine?" I know it's wrong, I won't block it for you next time, just let you block it for me, okay, don't be angry, compare your heart to your heart, you're afraid that I'll get hurt, and I'm also afraid that you'll be hurt. ”

"I'm going to say I'm sorry to you, but I don't regret it."

"Don't talk about it, I'll settle accounts with you when I get home." He interrupted her a little rudely, afraid that he would be uncomfortable listening to it.

He held her hand tightly, looked at the assassins with dark eyes, and realized that the assassins had the idea of killing themselves, so he hurriedly stepped forward and drew the knife in his dark hand.

A mist of blood erupted, and a piercing scream pierced the sky in an instant.

The man with his severed arm lay on the ground, lying in a pool of blood, convulsing from the intense pain, and he didn't even have the strength to bite his own mouth poisoning pills.

Dark One stepped forward, unloaded his chin, and then wiped the cold sweat on his head, and this knife went down, leaving two alive mouths.

Seeing this, the guests present were not frightened by the assassin just now, and they were also trembling at this moment, although they all knew that the assassin was a bad person, but the thought of 'King Jin is too terrible' still flashed in his mind.

The fourth prince looked at Xiao Yue with a complicated face, and said apologetically to the guests, "I've scared you, this king sent guards to send everyone back to the house." ”

After speaking, he summoned the commander of the guards in the palace and asked him to arrange for the people to send the guests home safely.

Zhou Yuxuan stepped forward and asked Gu Nian, "Niannian, are you okay?" ”

He was entangled by two assassins just now, and it was too late to get to Gu Nian's side.

Gu Nian saw Zhou Yuxuan's nervous face and shook his head, "Cousin, I'm fine, the prince protects me very well, cousin, what about you?" ”

Zhou Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his heart was gloomy, he shook his head, and arched his hand towards Xiao Yue, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Xiao Yue glanced at him, "She is the wife of this king, and she doesn't need you to thank her." ”

The four princes ordered things one by one, and were about to step forward to talk to Xiao Yue, when a maid hurriedly ran from the end of the path, and suddenly knelt down at the feet of the four princes with tears on her face.

"Lord Wang, it's not good, it's not good, we, our young girl fell into the water."

The little girl said with tears on her face, "I was helping our girl to go back, but I didn't expect the girl to suddenly shout that her stomach hurts, and she couldn't move a step, when the slave saw that she had blood coming down, and her skirt was soaked, the slave didn't dare to let her move again, so she thought about helping her sit on the stone bench first, and the slave and maid went to ask the princess to ask the princess to ask the imperial doctor, but I didn't expect ......."

The little girl didn't look very old, but she was clearly organized, she covered her face and cried, "Unexpectedly, the slave maid just ran over, and when she saw the fight, she ran back in fright, but after a while, the girl disappeared." ”

"The slave maid was afraid that she would not want to open the river, so she looked along the river, there was a fight here, the slave and the maid thought that the girl would not come this way, so she went over there to find it, but I didn't expect that our girl really threw herself into the river, and everyone had already floated."

As she spoke, she crawled on the ground and cried, originally the fourth prince didn't care too much, but when she heard that the young girl was bleeding, her expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly said,

"Bleeding? What's going on? ”

The little maid looked up, wiped her tears, and said, "My girl is two months pregnant...... But ......" She seemed to think of something terrible, her body shrank involuntarily, and said, "The princess is not in ...... body yet."

It just means that the princess has no heirs, and if she knows that the young girl has an heir, she doesn't know what will happen.

Ignoring the sharpness of the world on the path, and ignoring the blood stains flowing from the broken hand on the side, she walked to the side of the four princes on her knees, tore the corners of the robes of the four princes, kowtowed hard, blood flowed down her forehead, and her voice was sad,

"Lord Wang, our girl is the most kind, she went wrongly, and she is still pregnant with your heir in her belly, you have to be the master for her."

The face of the fourth prince sank, he has been married for so many years, and the most regrettable thing is that no heirs were born in the back house, but the prince was prosperous.

I didn't expect the child to come, but it was gone in a blink of an eye.

Gu Nian admired the anxiety of the four princes, but Xiao Yue, his emotions had calmed down at this moment, and he said lazily, "Fourth, your lotus pond is still well filled, if it weren't for your living water, there would be no assassins hiding underneath, and it wouldn't have let your hard-won heirs disappear like this." ”

"Tsk, it seems that you are a childless person, and your own woman can't save a child."

The fourth prince was already anxious about the assassin's affairs, and he still wanted to go to the palace to cry and complain, or he could lead the trouble to the prince, but such a thing happened at this time.

Xiao Yue stabbed him like this, if it was in the past, he would have been annoyed, but now, he didn't care about being angry with Xiao Yue.

He frowned and said, "What about you girls?" Where are the people? Can someone help you? Can the tire still be saved? ”

The little girl had tears in the corners of her eyes, and hurriedly said, "What happened in the house just now, everyone shrank in the yard and didn't dare to come out, and the slave finally found a rough mother-in-law and begged her to fish people up together, and the people were still lying there......"

When it came to the heirs, the fourth prince instructed his personal entourage to deal with the scene of the fight just now, and asked him to drag out the two assassins with their jaws off, and ask the doctor to heal the assassin whose arm had been cut off.

Xiao Yue pursed his lips and said, "Fourth, you hurry up and see if your child can be saved, be careful of the real heirs......" He smiled evilly and said, "These assassins, I will help you deal with them, this king also wants to know who dares to be so bold and break into the palace in broad daylight to assassinate." ”

How could the four princes rest assured that Xiao Yue would deal with the assassins alone? He ordered his personal entourage, "You follow and send people to Dali Temple." ”

Xiao Yue shrugged, "These assassins can't bother me to do it myself, Dark One, you go with him, you can't let people die." ”

He looked at the four princes with a smile, and the four princes said angrily, "Could it be that you still think that I directed and acted by myself?" You're crazy. ”

He sharply instructed his entourage, "We must not let people die, let Dali Siqing interrogate who the person behind the scenes is!" ”

After speaking, he pointed to the little maid who reported the news, "You wait for me." With that, he followed the little girl, and Rong Yue, who was standing on his hands, also followed.

Xiao Yue and Gu Nian were naturally reluctant to join in, Xiao Yue said, "You go to see your heir, and I will leave." ”

The fourth prince said, "Today's matter, I want you to go to the palace with me to report, you still stay, wait for me to deal with this matter." ”

"By the way, I'll also help see if there are any clues missing."

As if Xiao Yue was suspicious if he didn't stay, Xiao Yue held Gu Nian's shoulder and asked, "Does your foot matter?" ”

Gu Nian moved, feeling that it was no longer in the way, shaking her head, Xiao Yue led her forward.

Zhou Yuxuan stepped forward to say goodbye to Xiao Yue, "Lord Wang, I will send people to Dali Temple with Dark One, and by the way, I will roughly explain the situation here, Nian Nian, I will leave first." ”

Gu Nian nodded, she thought for a while, and said, "Don't tell your grandmother about today's events first, so as to save her old people from worrying." ”

Zhou Yuxuan smiled slightly, "I know." ”

The place where the young girl had happened was by a bridge, and there were several people around it.

Just now there were assassins in the palace, and everyone didn't dare to move, but now that the danger is gone, everyone has come out.

There are generally imperial doctors stationed in the palace, and some people see the young girl lying on the ground, and they dare not move, so they can only invite the imperial doctor over.

The fourth prince approached the crowd, saw the imperial doctor in the diagnosis and treatment, and asked the imperial doctor, "How is it?" Can the child be saved? ”

Gu Nian listened, and only grieved for the young girl, although she was not a serious wife, but in the end, she had also shared the same bed, and the four princes only asked about the fetus, and did not mention anything about the adults, which was really chilling.

The imperial doctor came in a hurry, his head was full of sweat, he rolled the green girl's eyelids, checked the lower pulse, and then knelt down and sighed to the fourth prince, "Lord Wang, this girl doesn't know water, and at this moment people are out of breath, so let's prepare for the future." ”

Actually, it's impossible to live if you think about it, the little girl who reported the news said that when she found it, the person had already floated up when she fished it up, so it must be impossible to live, the adults are gone, how can the child live?

Rong Yue stood behind the four princes who were a little stunned, rushed up, touched the green girl's pale face, and said in a trembling voice, "Why can't you think about it so much, it's still fine in the morning." ”

The little girl who reported the news knelt in front of the fourth prince and kept kowtowing, "Lord Wang, you have to be the master of our girl." ”

The fourth prince's face was gloomy, his child was gone, and in the future, I don't know when it will be, Rong Yue squatted beside the young girl's corpse, combing the green girl's messy hair and clothes with a sad face.

She sorted it all the way, and saw that her hands were clenched into fists, and a little strip of indigo cloth was revealed on the side, her face changed, and she forced her to break the green girl's stiff fingers, pulled out the strip of cloth, held it up, and said, "What is this?" ”

The little girl who reported the news suddenly stopped crying, and exclaimed, "Isn't this the dress that the grandmother next to the princess is wearing today?" ”

As soon as her voice came out, the faces of everyone present changed, could it be that the person who harmed the young girl was the person next to the princess?

That's really a big problem, why do the people around the princess want to harm the young girl? Everyone thought and thought in their minds, and thought of a hundred possibilities.

The fourth prince's face was fierce, he repelled those onlookers, and asked people to carry the young girl back to prepare for the future, at this time, the four princes and concubines were not very neatly dressed, and came over with the support of the maid and grandmother.

She asked the fourth prince anxiously, "Lord, are you okay, you just scared the concubine to death." ”

As soon as the assassin appeared, the fourth princess was frightened, but fortunately, the grandmother beside her was clever, and when she saw this, she pulled her to run behind the rockery, and waited until the sound of the fight stopped.

The fourth prince lightly pointed to the corpse of the young girl who had not yet been moved, and said nothing.

The fourth princess saw the corpse on the ground and said in surprise, "This is not a young girl?" What's wrong? ”

The fourth prince sneered, "Don't you know what's wrong with her?" ”

The fourth princess was about to have a seizure, and the little maid who reported the news touched the indigo cloth and said in tears, "Princess, the slave and maid are soft-spoken, but even if the slave and maid are gone, I want to ask you, our girl is such a kind person, and she has never been disrespectful to you, why did you put her to death?" ”

When the fourth princess heard this, she immediately screamed and was furious, "Where did you come from, you don't go up or down like this?" What does it have to do with me when she's dead? If you don't drag it out and kill it, it's disrespectful to the housewife. ”

The fourth prince looked at the four princesses coldly and angrily, pointed to the cloth and said, "Open your dog's eyes and see if this is the material on the clothes of the grandmother next to you." ”

The four princesses mechanically turned their heads to look at the grandmother beside them, who had already knelt down and said incoherently,

"Lord, this is just when the slave and maid supported the princess to escape for her life, she was hung by something and broken...... The prince clearly checked. ”

With the words of the grandmother, everyone looked at the grandmother's clothes, and sure enough, one was torn.

The grandmother was already frightened, she said, "The princess stopped when she heard the sound of fighting, and she was worried about the princess, and she didn't have time to sort out anything, so she had to come over to see if the prince was injured, so the slave didn't have time to change her clothes......"

The fourth prince sneered, he pursed the corners of his lips, and asked the fourth princess lightly, "What else do you have to say?" ”

The fourth princess shook her head, "The prince thinks it's my people who want to harm her?" I'm going to hurt her, can I use such a roundabout? Such a, no one will say anything about me if I sell a hundred. I am the master, and she is the slave. ”

The fourth prince said coldly, "There are all human and physical evidence, do you dare to defend yourself?" Don't wear down the last bit of patience of this king. Hurry up and tell the truth. ”

The Fourth Imperial Concubine was so startled by the cold eyes of the Fourth Princes that she took a few steps back, almost unable to stand on her feet, and screamed, "I didn't do it, why did I do this?" I don't even dare to kill chickens, how dare I kill someone? I just made her kneel, didn't you see that? ”

The four princes were unmoved, looked at the crazy four princesses coldly, and instructed the people around them, "Lock the princess in the main courtyard first, and don't let her out without the king's order." ”

The four princesses struggled to break free from the restraints of their subordinates, "Lord, you are really ruthless." Why do you do this to me, you can't do this to me. I want to go to the palace to see my father and the queen mother. ”

She struggled desperately, and those subordinates didn't dare to really grab her hard, so struggling, the fourth princess broke free, and with an inertia, the person threw herself forward and fell to the ground, she screamed, "Pain...... Pain...... It hurts. ”

The summer dress was light, and soon, her skirt was red with bright red blood......

Rong Yue stood behind the four princes, and exchanged colors with the little maid who reported the news very secretly.

Gu Nian saw all this in his eyes, and when he thought that it was the strip of cloth that Rong Yue found first, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Seeing that the skirts of the four princesses were also dyed red, the four princes' faces changed greatly, and they asked people to invite the imperial doctor who had just retired to come back quickly.

He picked up the four princesses and said to Xiao Yue, "I won't greet you." Wait a little longer for the matter of entering the palace. ”

Xiao Yue nodded casually and said casually, "The fourth brother's housework should be rectified, after all, it is my brother, and I don't want you to be the heir, right?" ”

After speaking, he took Gu Nian and said goodbye.

*

On the carriage back to the palace, Xiao Yue put the leg that Gu Nianwei had reached on his leg, rubbed her injured place with internal force, and asked her if it was still painful.

Gu Nian moved, although there was still a slight pain, but it was no longer a big problem.

She said, "I don't know if the fetus of the fourth princess can be saved." ”

Xiao Yue said, "The fourth child is like that, if you want to have children, it's impossible, if you want me to say, if you want to find a woman to live with, you have to find someone who agrees, otherwise you will add to your own blockage." ”

Today was originally to see the excitement, and the excitement was seen, but people were tired. She hesitated to repeat the performance she had just seen Rong Yue and the little maid, and said, "I think that girl's death is not so simple. ”

Xiao Yue nodded casually, and suddenly said with a straight face, "What happened on the boat just now?" Tell me about it? ”

Gu Nian wondered in her heart, who was the person who pushed her at that time?

There is no railing on the bow of the boat, if it weren't for the quick eyes of the astragalus, she would probably be the one who fell into the water, so what happened to Miss Zhang Wu at that time?

Her eyes moved slightly, and she slowly told Zhang Wu about the incident of Miss Zhang Wu accidentally falling into the water, and told the details she knew one by one, she frowned and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I always feel strange when I bring it up again." ”

Her face changed slightly, and she grabbed Xiao Yue's hand and said, "Just now, the fourth princess was standing at the bow of the boat, I was standing beside her, and Miss Zhang was on my right." ”

"I don't know who pushed me, I was going to plant it forward, but my skirt was also stepped on by someone, and then it was Miss Zhang who planted it towards me, I didn't fall down because of the astragalus grabbing, I just broke my foot, but Miss Zhang Wu was not so lucky, so she fell into the water."

Xiao Yue frowned and asked, "Do you remember who stood behind you at that time?" ”

Originally, there were many people on the boat, and it was nothing to guess each other's skirts, but with that hard push, it was not right, and why did Miss Zhang Wu plant it in such a timely manner?

His eyesight is stronger than Zhou Yuxuan, knowing that Gu Nian did not fall into the water, but it was the Zhang Wu girl next to her, he looked at Gu Nian's dress today, the color of Zhang Wu's dress was similar to Gu Nian's, no wonder Zhou Yuxuan would admit his mistake.

In addition, someone deliberately guided it, saying that 'Princess Jin fell into the water.' ’

If it was really Zhou Yuxuan who jumped down to save Gu Nian today, he was afraid that just gossip would drown her.

The three of them become tigers, and all of them are golden, and rumors can kill people.

Gu Nian thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth and said, "It's that Rongyue girl." ”

Gu Nian felt creepy, and a wave of anger arose, bullying people too much!

Xiao Yue saw that Gu Nian's face was stained with frost, and asked her, "The fourth child's maid?" ”

Gu Nian took a deep breath and said slowly, "She was standing behind me with the Fourth Princess, she was the one who stepped on my skirt, and she was the one who pushed me, she must be good at martial arts, passed by me, pushed me, and then turned to the side of Miss Zhang Wu." “

"Because after I was pulled over by Astragalus, she stood in the position where Miss Zhang Wu was standing."

Xiao Yue's face was full of slaughter, and he sneered, "The fourth brother is wishful thinking, and as a result, he himself lost two children in a row today." ”

*

In the palace, in the imperial study, Dali Siqing hurriedly entered, copied Emperor Yongping to bow down, looked at his face, and said carefully, "Your Majesty, when the assassin was in the torture room, he always faced south, and his mouth was ...... Breathing out of his mouth...... The Horn of the King of Su...... The minister thought that it was the first to Su Wang Yudang. ”

In the imperial study, the ministers gritted their teeth and said, "As expected, those people are doing trouble. The minister asked the emperor to arrest and interrogate Lin Shi'an, the king of Su. ”

Emperor Yongping frowned and asked Dali Siqing, "The chief envoy and the same party can come out?" ”

Dali Siqing looked ashamed, shook his head and said, "The minister is incompetent, the assassin was tortured greatly, and he always refused to confess, and the minister ordered people to torture him again. ”

They took every precaution, that is, to prevent the assassin from committing suicide, but unexpectedly, he still succeeded, and no one knew about the assassin's death.

Emperor Yongping was furious, slammed the table, and angrily reprimanded, "But I ordered you to interrogate, you can't even do this thing." If you don't catch the people behind the scenes, do you want them to go to every prince's mansion and stab them like this? ”

"Do you want to let them blend into the inner courtyard of this palace?"

Dali Siqing hurriedly knelt down, and the Yasukuni Gong, who had been silent, persuaded, "Your Majesty is angry, since you dare to make a desperate bet at this moment, it is often a dead man, Lord Yu must have tried his best, but, fortunately, the prince and the courtiers were not injured, according to the minister's opinion, the first Su Wang Yu, I am afraid that it is still all over the place, after this change, if Your Majesty can make up for the loss of the sheep and prevent trouble, it will also be regarded as a gain." ”

At the age of about forty, the Duke of Yasukuni grew up with the emperor with the old King of Jin, and has followed him to this day, with scheming and strategy, but he has an unknown character, that is, he is careful and will be retribution.

Emperor Yongping glanced at him and restrained his anger, "Isn't there another one whose arm was cut off by King Jin?" What happened to that person? Did you wake up? ”

Dali Siqing lowered his head, "The imperial doctor said that the knife was poisoned, and the person is unconscious at the moment, and I don't know if I can wake up." ”

Emperor Yongping snorted, "Who cut that knife?" ”

Dali Siqing felt that today was really not an auspicious day, and he said, "It's His Royal Highness the King of Jin......
