Chapter 275: Clever

Xihua suddenly remembered that Qin Muyao said that Zilin was Liu Fenglan, and also stared at Zilin's face: "Princess, is she really Liu Fenglan?"

"Oh. The palace maid seemed to suddenly think of something, and straightened her upper body, "The slave maid found out that the emperor gave poisoned wine to Concubine Lan because she lost her virginity. It was Concubine Long who gave wine to Concubine Lan. ”

"Impossible!" Cheng Lianjin wanted to shout, how could his mother lose her virginity? After thinking for a moment, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Concubine Long?" There was a fierce look in his eyes, and it seemed that he would kill the palace maid in the next second.

"The slave and maid dare not deceive the prince. The palace maid looked up and immediately became afraid, "This is what the palace maid said from Wan Zhaoyi." Because the slave and the maid were sisters to her, when she was drunk, she spoke out. ”

"You are indeed smart and only approach useful people. Cheng Lianjin didn't know whether to praise her or ridicule her, "What else?"

"Concubine Long saw Concubine Lan before she was sent out. The palace maid didn't dare to straighten her waist, "Wan Zhaoyi went that day, but because Concubine Long was there, Wan Zhaoyi didn't go in." ”

"Are you saying that this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Long?" Cheng Lianjin raised his eyebrows, with a little sadness in his eyes.

The palace maid nodded, and her hand clenched unconsciously: "The slave maid can only find these." ”

Cheng Lianjin took a few steps in the direction of the palace maid, drew the short dagger on his body, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"What is the prince going to do?, kill the slave and maid?" Although the palace maid was afraid, she couldn't let it, so she could only argue with reason, "The slave and maid helped the prince." ”

"How does this king know if what you said is true? Who is the person who arranged for you to do these things?" Cheng Lianjin only stood in front of her, without any extra movements.

"The prince doesn't believe in slaves and maids. Why should you listen? In this case, the prince will kill if he wants to kill, only if the slave or maid believes the wrong person. The palace maid turned her face away, closed her eyes, and waited for death.

Cheng Lianjin took back the dagger and stared at the palace maid, probing if she was anything unusual: "Get up." ”

The palace maid was relieved and slowly stood up, her calves and stomach trembling a little.

"Someone! Catch the assassin!!"

Suddenly, several shouts came from outside the garden wall. The palace maid was shocked and looked at Cheng Lianjin at a loss.

The footsteps outside overlapped, the firelight filtered through the walls, and the shouts grew closer. Cheng Lianjin frowned, walked in front quickly, and without him saying it, the palace maid also followed closely behind.

turned around the corner a few times, and the fire behind them was also closer, as if they knew in advance where Cheng Lianjin was going and chased after him. The footsteps didn't stop for a moment.

Cheng Lianjin didn't speak, but his steps were getting faster and faster, and the palace maid couldn't keep up, and when she went up the steps, she panicked for a while, stepped on a step, and twisted her foot. It's hard to get up while sitting on the ground.

Cheng Lianjin only stood in the distance and watched coldly, as if he didn't intend to help her. In the blink of an eye, he walked towards the palace maid again.

The sound is getting closer.

"Click!" suddenly sounded, making the palace maid's heart cold for a while, and she was about to be discovered. What to do!

Before he could clear his thoughts, his hand was grabbed.

When I looked up, I saw an unkempt woman. didn't speak, just grabbed the palace maid's hand sleeve. The palace maid was embarrassed and looked at Cheng Lianjin.

Cheng Lianjin didn't say a word and entered the dim room. The maid of the palace also climbed in with the strength of the woman.

At the moment of closing, the firelight illuminates the doorway.

Cheng Lianjin looked at the few but messy ornaments in the room, and the veils on the pillars were no longer able to distinguish the color, only countless holes.

The palace maid didn't dare to hum, and sat on the ground with her ankles covered and didn't speak. The woman sat on a stool with one foot about to be broken, looking in a half-mirror.

The light of the fire outside the door did not decrease, but increased, and only people could be heard talking.

"Commander, no Assassins found. ”

"Have you searched carefully?"

"I've checked it out of the cold palace, but it's really not. ”

"That's in the temple!"

This sentence was said to the palace where Cheng Lianjin was, and Cheng Lianjin stared at the door tightly. These Praetorian Guards are coming for him. If it is found that the king of Chu is not summoned to the palace late at night, he will be charged with rebellion by Cheng Wei's people.

"Can you find it?" Cheng Tang's voice drilled into Lianjin's ears, and he took a step forward and listened carefully to the movement outside the door.

"Back to the second prince, I have checked it all, and I have found no trace of the assassin. ”

"Then why don't you go elsewhere and still be here? You can afford to let the assassin go?"

"Back to the second prince, there are still two palaces that have not been checked. ”

"The prince himself went. Cheng Tang looked at the dilapidated hall in front of him that emitted a glimmer of light and walked up.

The commander rested his hand on the sword at his waist, silently clenched the handle, and the Praetorian Guards who followed him all made the same movement.

Cheng Tang glanced at it with his peripheral vision, paused for a while, and suddenly turned around: "The people living inside are all former concubines, you just wait at the door, and this prince will check it himself." ”

"I also hope that the second prince thinks about his own safety, if the assassin is inside and injures the second prince, it is that the lower officials are not well guarded. The commander said it was a suggestion, but there was a little dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Won't this prince's words work?" Cheng Tang was furious, staring at the commander, "Or do you look down on this prince so much, and think that even a small assassin, this prince can't be defeated?"

"The lower officials don't dare. The commander was angry, but he didn't dare to attack, and he made amends with both hands.

"Then stay outside the door!" Cheng Tang glanced at the Praetorian Guards behind him, and those people all lowered their heads.

Cheng Tang pushed open the door and saw a woman rushing up from the side, shouting indistinctly: "Give me back my child......!"

Cheng Tang dodged, and the woman fell on the threshold one by one. When the ruler saw this, he moved his feet and took it back. I just stared at the dim room intently, and cursed in my heart, is there only one candle in the cold palace?!

The woman saw so many people at the door, she got up and leaned against the door, and the door fell back, and the woman also fell down and slept on the floor.

Several of the Praetorian Guards laughed, and the commander looked back, and no one dared to say anything.

The woman got up again, squatted on the ground, hugged her knees, moved in the direction of the door, leaned against the door, and didn't dare to look at Cheng Tang.

Cheng Tang didn't care about her, walked around the small room, turned to the missing screen, looked at the person in front of him, and was stunned.

Cheng Lianjin stood behind the screen and saw that Cheng Tang did not make any movements, only indifference. The palace maid squatted on the ground, covered her mouth with her hands, and looked at Cheng Tang in fear.

Cheng Lianjin saw that he didn't move, and stretched out his hand to the door. Cheng Tang pretended to be fine, walked a few more times, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the commander stretching out his head to look at himself.

"The commander doesn't believe in this prince. Cheng Tang went out, and this voice was a question.

"I don't dare. The Commander bowed his head, but his eyes looked into the room.

When the woman saw someone walking out, she hurriedly got up, and scolded while closing the door: "Get out, get out of the palace!"

Cheng Tang glanced back lightly, let go and pointed to the door and said unhappily: "Since the commander thinks that this prince is not careful, then he will go by himself." This prince is going to check elsewhere. With that, he left.

The commander walked up the steps, thought for a while, and followed Cheng Tang with the Praetorian Guards behind him.

"I have always been Xiao Jieyu, the emperor's favorite person. You're here to get me out, aren't you?" the woman's face was full of joy and her eyes were full of madness.

"Let's go. Cheng Lianjin didn't want to pay attention to this half-crazy woman, and walked towards the door.

"I didn't frame her. I was also framed by others. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you believe me. Seeing that Cheng Lianjin was leaving, the woman knelt on the ground and cried with a sad face, as if she had lost her most cherished thing.

The palace maid walked slowly, and was dragged by the woman when she only reached the woman's place: "Sister, please beg the emperor!"

Because Cheng Lianjin looked similar to the emperor, the woman recognized him as the emperor, and also recognized the palace maid as someone else.

Cheng Lianjin came up with an idea, looked at the woman condescendingly, and showed the royal domineering: "Then you say, who framed Concubine Lan and blamed you?"

"It's Concubine Long, that slut, it's her! It's her! She hates Concubine Lan the most. The woman didn't think about it, and stared at Cheng Lianjin's side viciously, as if there was really a person somewhere.

Cheng Lianjin's body moved, and he didn't want to believe it in his heart, how could Concubine Long take care of herself for so many years, how could she harm her mother?

"Your Majesty, you want to believe in your concubines!" the woman cried, looking aggrieved, and wanted to reach out and grab Cheng Lianjin's clothes.

The palace maid pushed her and scolded: "The prince is also something you can touch?"

"The king... Rajah. The woman put away the sadness in her eyes, and suddenly laughed again, "Lord Wang? He stood up, went back to the dresser, sat down, and began to comb his hair.

"Lord Wang, she's crazy. The palace maid bowed her head and said.

"Sometimes what a madman says is true. Cheng Lianjin's face was full of mockery, and he really didn't know what expression to make about this matter.

The person who thought he was the best for himself went from not caring about his princess at the beginning and harming Mu Ruxuan, to now knowing that she is the person who hates her mother the most.

Cheng Lianjin didn't care about the palace maid, and took advantage of the time when Cheng Tang dragged the Praetorian Guards out of the palace.

And Cheng Tang took the Praetorian Guards around the palace, feeling that the time was about the same, Cheng Lianjin left the palace, so he took the commander to find the emperor to return to his life.

Originally, when he heard that Cheng Wei was stabbed, he was suspicious, so the emperor issued an order to let the commander of the Praetorian Guard lead people to search and catch the assassin.

He thought that Cheng Wei was under the guise of being injured, and the person he wanted to arrest came out, and he was Cheng Lianjin. In front of the gate of that hall, the commander's affirmative appearance made Cheng Tang determine the idea in his heart. Tonight's play is aimed at Cheng Lianjin.

Waiting for the news of the assassin's arrest, there is not only the emperor, but the one who wants to know the most is Cheng Wei.

At this time, Cheng Wei was lying on the bed, and the imperial doctor was treating him. There were many external injuries on his body, and the most fatal wound was really the abdomen, and the intestines could almost be seen.

However, his wound was not that of the Assassin, but of weeping. Originally, the two were on par in martial arts. When it was almost hurt, Wai You suddenly exerted force.

At that time, I was afraid that more than a dozen strong men would be invincible together, and Cheng Wei couldn't stop him, so he was injured by a few sword skin injuries.

After the vigorous exertion, the weeping movement slowed down, and some sweat broke out on his forehead. Cheng Wei seized the opportunity and injured him as well. Due to blood loss, his mind was a little unclear, and he was severely injured in the abdomen by Crying You.

He stabbed Weeping You with a sword again, dragged his scarred body back to the palace, and was taken back to the palace by his own people at the palace gate.

In order not to make the emperor too suspicious, he could only make a big noise. An Assassin came to the palace and wounded him.

If Cheng Lianjin was in the palace, it would be impossible for Qin Muyao to go out. Then, he could only be in the palace. It's better to take him off and go into the water.

Thinking about it, let people go down and do it. The effect is good, but I don't know if I have caught Cheng Lianjin. Then I got disappointing news.

Cheng Tang came to see him, thinking that he was pretending, but he didn't expect to be seriously injured. was sad and sad on the surface, but in his heart he quickly clapped his hands and applauded.
