Chapter 465: Betrayal (1)
"What?" In the study room of the Second Prince's Mansion, there was a disbelieving roar from the Second Prince: "Have you seen it clearly? Is it really Pei Zhang? ”
A black-clothed guard knelt on the ground, his voice trembling: "Yes, the little one can't see it clearly." The one who led people to save Imperial Doctor Cheng was Captain Pei Zhangpei! ”
The second prince's head boomed!
How could it be Pei Zhang!
Pei Zhang is his cousin and a companion who grew up with him. Not to mention that they are like brothers, their feelings are also very deep. He has always been very trusting and close to Pei Zhang.
Therefore, Pei Zhang has been walking closely with him in the past few months, and he takes it for granted. Pei Zhang asked him how to deal with Cheng Jinrong, and he did not hide it. Because in his heart, Pei Zhang is an out-and-out "own person".
The time to assassinate Cheng Jinrong was planned by him a long time ago.
Cheng Jinrong is usually in the palace, and when he is by the emperor's side, he has no chance to do it at all. Only by taking advantage of Cheng Jinrong's departure from the palace can he do it.
The second princess had already told him that she would invite Cheng Jinrong to the mansion when she gave birth. In this way, he can know in advance when Cheng Jinrong will leave the palace and when he will return to the palace.
He secretly prepared manpower, and he must kill Cheng Jinrong in one fell swoop.
The "Assassins" were highly trained Secret Guards. If the mission fails, he will take poison and commit suicide, and he will not be able to find out the source of his identity. Even if the assassination fails, it will not implicate him.
Everything was expected.
The only accident is Pei Zhang!
The little one has been hiding in the dark, and Captain Pei suddenly appeared, and the little one was also startled. The little one was afraid that he was mistaken, so he deliberately took a few more looks, and the person who led the way was indeed Captain Pei. ”
The guards quickly whispered, "There are thirty of them. There are only more than ten guards around Imperial Doctor Cheng, and they are calculating or unintentional. Within a stick of incense, it is time to retire. At that time, Imperial Physician Cheng's carriage had stopped, and the two secret guards had already touched the side of the carriage. Unexpectedly, Captain Pei led hundreds of people at this time. ”
"If the little one is not mistaken, those reinforcements are the imperial guards beside the emperor!"
Good!
What a Pei Zhang!
Even the Imperial Guards have been dispatched!
Come to think of it, Pei Zhang has already reported this matter to his father! He is completely betraying himself, and he wants to completely lose his Sacred Heart, and there is no place to turn over!
The second prince's internal organs were scorched by anger, and the flames almost erupted from his eyes. It's like a trapped beast that steps into a trap and is on the verge of death. Because he was so angry that he even ignored his fear.
In a fit of rage, the second prince kicked two chairs away and knocked over the heavy desk. As a result, I used too much force and hurt my toes, which hurt my heart.
People are unlucky, and they stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, this sentence is really true.
The second prince gasped in pain, and his face turned blue!
The guards also knew that the situation was very bad, and plucked up the courage to speak: "Your Highness, now is not the time to be angry. Captain Pei had already returned to the palace with Imperial Physician Cheng. The corpses were taken away. Should His Royal Highness enter the palace earlier and confess to the emperor? ”
The second prince had a dark face, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "This prince will enter the palace immediately." You go and send a message to Yong'an Hou. Remember, be sure to see Yong'an Hou and tell him about it as it is. ”
……
In the Baohe Palace, there was a strange solemn streak at this time.
Emperor Xuanhe sat on the dragon chair, his face gloomy and ugly.
Pei Zhang knelt in the hall and reported in a deep voice: "...... More than a dozen of those assassins were killed. The other dozen or so, seeing that they were outnumbered, committed suicide by poisoning one after another, leaving no survivors. ”
"They don't have a belt badge or anything to prove who they are. The last general has ordered the corpses to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment. The Criminal Department has experienced and experienced people, and may be able to find some useful clues from the corpses. ”
"Imperial Physician Cheng was a little frightened, and a bruise appeared on his forehead."
Of the dozen or so guards who accompanied him, four died, and the rest were wounded. Commander Han also suffered three injuries, but fortunately, they were all minor injuries and there was no major problem. ”
Emperor Xuanhe didn't say a word, his eyes were fixed on Pei Zhang.
The invisible coercion is like a boulder approaching the top, as if it will fall at any time, smashing people to pieces.
Pei Zhang had already let it go, but he was not afraid at all, and continued: "The last general's actions have already reached the ears of His Royal Highness the Second Prince. In less than half an hour, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will enter the palace to defend himself, and perhaps blame the last general for this matter......"
Emperor Xuanhe opened his mouth coldly: "The second prince trusts you so much, he doesn't even hide such confidential things from you." In the blink of an eye, you told me about it secretly. I also want to ask you, why did you do this? ”
"For the sake of a Cheng Jinrong, you betrayed the second prince! Even betrayed your father! After I am gone, how dare I believe that you use you? ”
The most critical time has come!
Don't be intimate! He was mentally prepared for this moment's interrogation.
Pei Zhang secretly took a deep breath and looked up at Emperor Xuanhe: "Emperor Mingjian." The last general did this, not only for Imperial Doctor Cheng, but also for the second prince and for the Yong'an Hou Mansion. ”
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is the queen's concubine and the emperor's son-in-law. His Highness was impulsive and almost made a big mistake. If Imperial Physician Cheng was really killed by him, the emperor would definitely be furious, and there would be an estrangement between father and son. At that time, His Highness will regret it too late. Under the emperor's anger, he was afraid that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion would also be implicated. ”
"The last general thought about it before he made up his mind that he must stop this!"
Emperor Xuanhe's eyes were heavy, and his voice was cold: "If you want to stop this incident, there is more than this way!" You can persuade the second prince to change his mind. But he chose such a method of burning jade! I can't help but doubt your intentions! ”
A wry smile overflowed from the corner of Pei Zhang's mouth: "His Royal Highness is stubborn, it is difficult to listen to the words of persuasion." Moreover, the last general can be persuaded once, but he can't be persuaded three times or five times. ”
"Only a blow to the head can make His Highness lose his way."
"After this incident, His Highness will definitely resent the last general, and my father will be very angry. is the emperor, when he sees the last general, he can't help but think of the fact that the last general betrayed His Royal Highness, and may never reuse the trust of the last general. ”
"These consequences, the last general has thought about it."
But the last general did not hesitate to do so. The eldest husband is alive, and he does something and does not do anything. No matter what happens in the future, the last general will not regret what he did today! ”
The last two sentences are sonorous and powerful!
Pei Zhang's waist is straight, and his handsome face is full of determination and fearlessness!
Emperor Xuanhe's brows moved slightly, and his expression eased slightly.
At this moment, a chamberlain walked in quickly and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the queen mother and Imperial Doctor Cheng are here." ”
