Chapter 126: Assassination
When everyone was immersed in the surprise of this matter, Gu Ziqing suddenly found that there was something wrong with the maid beside the emperor.
She seemed to be holding something in her hand, and her eyes were not as gentle as before, and gradually became fierce, staring at the emperor as if she was a wild wolf ready to attack.
Gu Ziqing noticed this scene, and couldn't help but squint her eyes, carefully looking at the object in the maid's hand, and then her eyes lit up, and she found that the thing in the maid's hand was extraordinary, but like a black dagger.
Suddenly, Gu Ziqing realized something, so she stood up suddenly, ignored everyone's surprised eyes, and rushed to the emperor.
At this moment, the maid also took out the dagger in her sleeve and stabbed at the emperor.
For a while, everyone in the hall was stunned by the scene in front of them, and they didn't know how to react. Even the emperor himself froze in place, motionless, just watching the dagger fall.
But fortunately, between this lightning and flint, Gu Ziqing had already rushed to the emperor, and stood in front of him, withstanding the fatal blow of the maid.
When the dagger pierced Gu Ziqing's shoulder, a sharp pain invaded her internal organs, causing fine beads of sweat to appear on Gu Ziqing's forehead, and then she couldn't help shouting, "Escort." ”
Hearing this shout, everyone in the hall reacted, and then Ying Heng was quick to fly, and suddenly rushed over, kicked the maid to the ground, and then subdued her and handed her over to Zhou Chengjin who was on the side.
He turned around and hugged the injured Gu Ziqing, looking her up and down eagerly, checking her wounds was a big problem.
After confirming that Gu Ziqing had nothing to do, Ying Heng relaxed slightly, and then looked up at the frightened emperor.
"Grandpa Huang, Miss Gu is seriously injured, I will take her to the side hall and ask the imperial doctor to bandage her. ”
Listening to his question, the emperor hurriedly nodded, and then spoke: "Go, go, go and bandage Miss Gu, be sure to take care of her, and don't make any mistakes." ”
After getting permission, Ying Heng bowed slightly, then picked up Gu Ziqing, called the accompanying imperial doctor, and walked quickly to the side hall.
Zhou Chengjin and the four princes, who were standing on the side, looked at Ying Heng's back as they left with Gu Ziqing in their arms, their faces couldn't help but be gloomy, and then they turned their heads to look at Liu Yanling together, and they were even more angry.
This scene was originally arranged by them for Liu Yanling, in order to let her take this opportunity to save the emperor's life, and then get the emperor's favor with it, stay by his side forever, and monitor the emperor's every move to help them win the heir.
But I didn't expect that the scene they worked so hard to plan, in the end, they made wedding dresses for others and saved the emperor's life, but they became Gu Ziqing, and I don't know how the emperor will reuse the people of the Gu family after today?
In this scene, they can be said to have failed in their calculations, they really steal chickens and rice!
The emperor, who came back to his senses on the side, stabilized his emotions, and then slowly came to the front of the maid.
He asked in a calm voice, "Who sent you, and why did you assassinate Yu Zhen?"
Hearing his question, the maid trembled and rolled her eyes, as if thinking about what to do next.
Seeing that she was silent, the emperor asked again, "Why don't you tell me quickly?"
He didn't believe that a maid would have such courage and means to sneak into this banquet so easily, and come to his side and assassinate him, someone must have been behind it.
Just when everyone was waiting with bated breath for the maid's answer, they didn't want her to spit blood in an instant, fall to the ground, and die with a whimper.
Even Zhou Chengjin, who was controlling her, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this scene, and then subconsciously looked at the four princes.
After a while, he looked away, then tested the maid's pulse, and said to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, this maid is dead." ”
"Already dead?" the emperor muttered thoughtfully.
can cultivate such a dead soldier, and can also arrange her to his side, then this person behind the scenes must be unusual, it seems that these people around him must also be cleared up.
Thinking of this, the emperor's gaze couldn't help but become unusually cold, and then he instructed the four princes on the side: "You are responsible for this matter, go and check the origin of this maid for me." ”
"And why she got involved in this banquet and carried out the assassination, all of these must be found out to me one by one, and then report to me. ”
"Yes, Father. The fourth prince arched his hand.
After giving instructions on this matter, the emperor opened his mouth again and said to everyone: "This is the end of today's banquet!
With that, the emperor hurriedly walked out of the banquet hall surrounded by everyone.
After he left, everyone dispersed, and in an instant, there were only three people left in the entire hall: the four princes, Zhou Chengjin, and Liu Yanling.
Seeing that no one was here, Liu Yanling finally weakened his knees, knelt down, and begged the four princes for mercy: "I hope that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince will forgive her sins, the people shouldn't have reacted so slowly just now, and they actually let Gu Ziqing get it." ”
After hearing her words, the fourth prince couldn't help but be angry, so he raised his foot and kicked Liu Yanling to the ground, and then cursed: "There is not enough success, and there is more than failure." ”
"It was originally a good plan, but because of your momentary hesitation, it became like this, can you take responsibility?"
"The slave knows that she is wrong, the slave knows that she is wrong, please give the slave and maid another chance!" Liu Yanling hugged the thighs of the four princes. pleaded bitterly.
Taking refuge in His Royal Highness the Four Princes is a rare opportunity for her to take revenge on Gu Ziqing, and she must not be reused by His Royal Highness the Four Princes because of this mistake.
In that way, not only will her revenge plan change, but she will no longer be able to introduce Liu Zongcheng, then she will lose too much, so no matter what, she will never allow such a thing to happen, and she will not let His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince disappoint her.
Thinking of this, Liu Yanling continued to pray: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, please don't give up the slave maid, today the emperor already has some good feelings for the slave maid, as long as I work harder, then the emperor will definitely be inseparable from me." ”
"When the time comes, as long as I enter the palace smoothly, then it will definitely be of benefit to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. ”
