Chapter 171: No Choice
Chu Jingshu's face was as pale as paper, and when she heard the emperor's words, she didn't even have the courage to admit it, joking with the emperor's heir was a capital crime, not to mention the crime of mutilating Zhenguo Gong.
If it had been before, she felt that she still had a few chances of winning, but now she couldn't understand it, and she couldn't figure out the emperor's mind at all.
"The Emperor's ......"
"If you can't give an explanation, don't call me me!" The emperor didn't have any patience with her, and directly asked people to drag her down.
Chu Jingshu stopped struggling, and looked at Chi Yingchu deeply before leaving, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Lu Yuanbai coldly retracted his gaze and found that the emperor was looking at him thoughtfully: "How did you know that Zhenguo Gong was killed, and how did you save him?"
"The younger brother received a strange letter, and he didn't take it seriously at first, but then the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he really saved the Zhenguo Duke and his wife, and the matter was urgent, so he told the royal brother now. ”
Some courtiers also knew about this, and the courtiers deliberately concealed it, but somehow it was discovered. Lu Yuanbai explained the response one by one, and the statement was not leaky.
The emperor seemed to inadvertently sweep over Chi Yingchu, and waved his hand tiredly: "I am tired today, you two will also go back, and I will deal with this matter another day." ”
"Then don't bother the royal brother. ”
Lu Yuanbai led Chi Yingchu out of the house, and did not leave the palace directly, she went to Chu Jingshu's palace alone, and wanted to give her a chance to kill herself.
There was hesitation in Lu Yuanbai's eyes, and his tone paused: "You can really do it?"
"Please trust your subordinates. The disguised Chi Yingchu nodded in a low voice, revealing a pair of calloused hands, which were clearly two men's hands!
"Don't let this king down. Lu Yuanbai dropped a few words, turned around and walked out a few steps and said, "You can't even affect her." ”
When the emperor learned that Lu Yuanbai had left the palace, he immediately opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Is he alone?"
"Miss Chu went to visit Concubine Jing. The eunuch reported truthfully, and when he saw that the emperor's face was wrong, "The emperor thinks it's ......."
The emperor remembered Chu Yimiao's face, and his brows twisted into a solemn look: "Do you think that Chu Yimiao's face is different from usual?"
The disguise technique of the Great Chu royal family, it may not be obvious to outsiders, but those who understand it can understand it at a glance, and that Chu Yimiao may not be true.
"The slave didn't pay attention, the emperor forgives the sin......" The eunuch knelt on the ground, his voice trembling a little.
The emperor had a headache when he heard this, and scolded him impatiently: "Okay, don't forgive your sins at every turn, I don't have so much time to cure your sins!"
"Yes. The eunuch departed happily.
"Let people keep an eye on the situation in Concubine Jing's palace, and tell me the news as soon as possible. ”
"Yes!"
The emperor didn't care about the issue of the emperor's heir, nor did he care whether Zhenguo Gong was killed, he only wondered why Lu Yuanbai did this.
Chu Jingshu heard the sound of the door being pushed open, thinking that it was the emperor, and stepped forward excitedly to explain, and when she saw that it was Chi Yingchu, her face suddenly gloomy.
"What are you doing here, watching my jokes?"
"Come and kill you, is it okay?"
The dark guard stepped forward step by step, there was not even a maid around, and Chu Jingshu didn't plan to hide, so he fought with him directly.
Chu Jingshu was beaten by the secret guard and took a few steps back, fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood, only then did she realize that something was wrong: "Who are you?"
The dark guard took off his mask, revealing a completely unfamiliar face, and stabbed at her with a sword, Chu Jingshu narrowly dodged once, but couldn't dodge the second and third times.
She was panting physically and mentally exhausted, thinking that she couldn't escape today's death, the forbidden army in the palace broke in, and the secret guard had no intention of caring about her anymore.
Chu Jingshu got up from the ground, and saw the right time to put the dark guard to death, but the dark guard turned her backhand, and she bumped into a dozen knives of the forbidden army.
From the front of his body to the back, the pupils of his eyes dilated, and the bright red blood flowed all over the ground, and the blood flowed endlessly.
When the emperor came, the secret guard had already fled, he glanced at Chu Jingshu, and his face did not change: "Don't chase it yet!"
The forbidden army immediately chased them out and searched all parts of the palace closely.
The palace people dragged Chu Jingshu's body down to dispose of it, and the emperor said indifferently: "Handle it secretly, if the news spreads, don't ask for your heads." ”
"Yes. The palace people spoke in unison.
The emperor only thought in his heart that if he caught that secret guard, he would be able to identify Lu Yuanbai.
But what is puzzling is that Lu Yuanbai didn't know the secret art of Chu at the beginning, so the emperor left him alive, and now who is behind the ghost?
About a day passed, and the secret guard was not caught, and the emperor swept through dozens of forbidden troops, his face turned pale: "There is no one who is useless, and the assassins can't be caught!"
"The subordinates are incompetent. ”
"Get out, get out!" came the sound of smashing things in the imperial study, and the forbidden army silently retreated.
Lu Yuanbai estimated that the effect of the medicine was almost over, so he asked Chi Yingchu to come out, and she opened her eyes in confusion: "How long have I been asleep?"
"It's just two days and one night. He replied indifferently.
Chi Yingchu didn't know what happened, his memory stopped at that night, and he couldn't say anything angry: "Did you drug me?"
"Are you comfortable sleeping?" he replied, admitting it in disguise.
She gritted her teeth and glared at him, and couldn't find anything to scold him for a while, he didn't need to look at her to think of her face at the moment, so he simply said:
"This king didn't do anything to you. ”
"Who do you think cares about this!" she still had important things to do, and now that he had delayed everything, she knew that she couldn't count on him all.
She has a deep suspicion that he is a pig teammate sent by her opponent, and the evidence is abundant.
She got up randomly, but fell back because of the weakness of her legs, and when she saw that he wanted to help herself, she pushed him away without thinking: "Don't hurt me!"
He held her face with both hands and stared at her with interest: "You don't care?
Chi Yingchu suspected that he had suffered a heavy blow in the past few days, and there was already something wrong with his brain.
"With you, don't stop me, if Chu Jingshu ......"
Lu Yuanbai was calm, really let her go, and said quietly: "Chu Jingshu is gone." ”
"??? "She hasn't woken up yet?" The palace is heavily guarded, and if the assassin killer is ruled out, she can only commit suicide.
But why can't Chu Jingshu think about it?
"Outsiders don't know about this yet, including the Protector Mansion. ”
Chi Yingchu swallowed her saliva, and asked suspiciously: "Then why didn't she have it, can the prince tell me in detail?"
Lu Yuanbai told her what happened, including drugging her and then finding a secret guard to pretend to be her.
"This king is doing all this for your own good, do you believe it?"
Chi Yingchu realized that so many things had happened when he passed out, and he hadn't thought to tell her before he did this.
She met his gaze and sneered: "You can also use other methods, the prince takes the risk of doing this, is it for my good?"
Lu Yuanbai, who asked her a few words, had nothing to say, and even directly pierced him: "Actually, the prince doesn't have to, without this, the emperor will doubt me." ”
"I have no choice but to be by the side of the prince. ”
