Chapter 179: Undercurrents are surging
After a long time, Helian Ying stared at it and said with a smile: "I want to see where Concubine Ai can hide!" ”
"The emperor is cheating!" Yun Shu'er said coquettishly.
"I also learned from Concubine Ai! This is called 'treating the body of the concubine with the way of loving the concubine'! Helian Ying said and laughed dotingly, but listened to the small group outside the tent to report.
Helian Yingche straightened his body and ordered the little group to come in.
Xiao Tuanzi saw that Yun Wei'er was also in the tent, and hesitated. Yun Wei'er knew that the two had something important to talk about, so she took the soup bowl and pulled the curtain out of the tent.
"Is there anything you can find in the arrows in the red-maned horse?" Helian Yingche sat upright and asked.
Xiao Tuanzi bowed down and replied: "Return to the emperor!" The red-maned horse ridden by Concubine Ying had already been tested, and the arrows in the horse's hips were commonly cast arrows in the barracks, and the arrows were coated with poison. The slave maid guessed that someone deliberately shot poisoned arrows in the dark in the forest to kill Concubine Ying. The slave has sent someone to block the news, and is secretly checking the suspicious people for this hunt one by one. ”
Helian Yingche sighed and said, "It's not Concubine Ying who that person wants to shoot poison, but me!" ”
Xiao Tuanzi looked stunned.
"When I found her in Qinglin Garden, she was lost, but she was safe. But when I rode my horse to catch up with her, the arrow that came out of the shadows came out from behind me, and if I had come closer, it would not have been the red-maned horse that had fallen now, but me! Helian Ying said.
"Someone wants to assassinate the emperor?! Who has the audacity? And to blend into the heavily guarded royal paddock without being detected? Could it be that King Yiqi or King He Ze secretly did it?! Xiao Tuanzi analyzed.
Helian Yingche shook his head and said, "When I hunted alone with the two of him yesterday, the two of them had a chance to attack me, not to mention that it was the two of them who rescued me and Concubine Ying today!" I know the two of them: Yingtai is simple-minded, affectionate and righteous! Although Yingchu had a city government, he may have a grudge against me for the battle for the heir that day, but he did things above board and disdained to use this kind of fly-camp and unsightly methods! ”
"According to what the emperor said, among the ministers who accompanied him, only Ning Qi, the general of the expedition to the north, was left! And this morning, Concubine Shu happened to go to find Concubine Ying's mother to race horses, and Concubine Ying's mother will get lost in Qinglin Garden! Could it be that General Ning Qi is going to conspire against ......?! Xiao Tuanzi speculated one by one.
"If you want to assassinate me in secret, why did you do it so conspicuously, involve your own daughter, leave people talking, and fall into your mouth?! If it is said that General Ning Qi wants to help his daughter become the queen, it is still somewhat possible, but Ning Qi's family has served in Dayan for more than 20 years, and has made great contributions to quelling the war in the north. With such a loyal heart, how can you just guess about it! Helian Ying said.
Xiao Tuanzi nodded and said, "The emperor taught you a lesson!" But if it weren't for the accompanying prince's ministers, who would have the courage and ability to break into the field to assassinate the emperor? ”
Helian Yingche was silent for a moment, and ordered: "Spread my order, thoroughly investigate the origin of all the accompanying guards and entourage this time, and the original guards in the paddock must also be strictly investigated!" Remember to do it in secret, so as not to startle the snake! At the same time, I passed on my instructions, and I will drive back to the palace from now on, and there must be no mistakes! ”
"Yes!" The little group was ordered to go out.
After a short time, everyone gathered together and drove back to the palace.
After Helian Yingche returned to the palace, he secretly investigated the whereabouts of the assassins in the paddock, but on the surface, he was obsessed with lust as usual and neglected the government.
At night, the study room of the Annan Royal Mansion is brightly lit. Rong Ying was discussing secret matters with Helian Yunjue in the study.
"Lord Wang! The guards sent to the paddock to assassinate him missed! Rong Ying wants to kill him now! Rong Ying bowed and reported.
Helian Yunjue sighed and said, "How will the emperor deal with this matter after returning to the palace?" ”
Rong Ying replied: "After the emperor returned to the palace, it was still the same as usual, as if this incident had never happened!" ”
"Oh?!" Helian Yunjue sneered, and asked again, "What about King Yiqi and General Ning Qi?" ”
"As always, there's no movement!" Rong Ying said.
"This king's alliance looks like it's going to turn against the water!"
Helian Yunjue smiled: "It seems that this king can't wait until the end of the year to act!" Since the king's alliance wants to turn against the water, then the king will give them a big gift! Let them not get out of it! Rong Ying! When you go tonight, move quickly, remember to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never leave a living mouth! ”
Rong Ying was stunned and asked in surprise: "His old mother, wife and children are also ......."
"Isn't it clear enough that this king just said?!" Helian Yunjue said coldly.
"Yes!" Rong Ying responded.
"One more thing, when you go, you have to disguise yourself as someone from the Yiqi Palace, and it is best to leave some important physical evidence at the scene, so that the Yiqi King will not be able to argue! Tomorrow, you will let the ghost slasher go to visit the old mother of Ning Qi, the general of the expedition to the north, and ask her to remind her son that 'the practitioner is Junjie'! Helian Yunjue instructed.
Rong Ying led the order to retreat.
That night, Jiao Er, the guard of the General Mansion in the north of the country, and his family of six were killed, and the blood in the courtyard was like a river!
Ning Qi, the general of the expedition to the north, heard the news and checked, and found a special silver talisman dagger made by the Yiqi palace in the Jiaojia courtyard, Ning Qi knew that something was wrong, and wanted to hide the matter first, but the palace also sent someone to investigate, and had to truthfully hand over the silver talisman dagger. Everyone also found feather arrows and longbows coated with poison in Jiao Er's house. After checking, the poison on the arrow was exactly the same as the poison on the red-maned horse being shot in the paddock.
When Helian Yingche learned of this, he was furious, and he could not be explained by Helian Yingchu, the king of Yiqi, and put him in prison for the crime of killing the king and assassinating him. The Yiqi Palace's mansion was sealed and banned.
Helian Yingtai, the king of Heze, interceded for Helian Yingchu, the king of Yiqi, in the main hall, but was ordered to be imprisoned by Helian Yingche.
The mother of Ning Qi, the general of the expedition to the north, had just been threatened by the ghost slash, and Ning Qi was not easy to defend at this time, so he had to protect himself before making plans.
Helian Yunjue, the king of Annan, killed four birds with one stone, and reaped the benefits of the fisherman, secretly proud. Seeing that Helian Yingche's henchmen were falling apart, the Helan family, which could have competed with him, was also removed by Helian Yingche and scattered in various ministries by his own cleverness. This is the best time for Helian Yunjue to seize the throne. Helian Yunjue was determined to attack the imperial city and take the throne seven days later.
Since returning from the hunting in the paddock, Helian Yingtou has been buried in the study and has been working all night to deal with government affairs. Yun Wei'er couldn't bear to be bothered, but she was worried that Helian Ying, whose wound had not healed, would be boiled up, so she personally boiled the decoction on time and sent it to the study, and gently and meticulously served the decoction and dressing Helian Yingche to bandage the wound.
At night, Yun Wei'er brought ginseng soup to Helian Ying's body again. Helian Yingche occasionally had to put down the scroll in his hand, hugged the cloud that accompanied him to the side, and added incense to his candles.
Yun Wei'er smiled lightly, her face was full of happiness, and there was no complaint at all.
Helian Yingche stared at Yun Wei'er, who was standing next to him with a smile and studied ink intimately for him, and said softly: "I have snubbed my concubine in the past few days, have you ever complained about me?" ”
Yun Wei'er looked back, smiled calmly, and replied: "The emperor attaches great importance to state affairs, which is the blessing of the people of Dayan!" The concubines can stay by the emperor's side day and night like this, and the concubines are very satisfied! ”
