Chapter 89: The Assassin
Li Jiujiu shook his head: "Treating the symptoms is not the root cause, the heart disease must be overcome by yourself, and taking medicine will not work." One day when the medication is stopped, the nightmare will come back. ”
Bi Luo looked at Li Jiujiu distressedly: "Miss, it must be very uncomfortable to have nightmares." ”
Lijiujiu smiled and said, "Isn't it much better than before?" ”
Just as the two were talking, a strange voice came from outside. Then, someone was heard shouting "Catch the assassin". Then there was the sound of swords colliding.
Biluo immediately became nervous.
Mrs. Liu heard the movement and hurriedly ran out of the bedroom. She listened to the movement outside, and hurried into the main hall and went straight to the bedroom.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." After speaking, Mrs. Liu took out the nine-section whip she carried with her from her arms and listened vigilantly to the movements outside.
Kanazawa hurried outside the Peony Pavilion with a team of guards and engaged the Assassins. One after another, guards heard the sound of fighting and hurried over to support.
Several Assassins were skilled in martial arts. After a fierce battle, some of the guards were killed.
On the other side, Fei Lian had already arrived at the Hibiscus Pavilion. He climbed over the wall and saw that the light was still on in the bedroom.
Qu Lingxue slept soundly. Wan'er also fell asleep in her bedroom.
Jin Se spread a mattress on the floor of the bedroom and lay down in his clothes. In order to take care of Qu Lingxue conveniently, she left a candle.
Outside the Peony Pavilion, the sound of fierce battle was loud and reached Jin Se's ears. She didn't move, because her task was to take care of Qu Lingxue and figure out why she went crazy.
Jin Se's ears are excellent, and she heard the sound of Feilian climbing over the wall and landing on the ground.
Jin Se quickly sat up, her face full of wariness.
In order to avoid Wan'er's suspicion, Jin Se did not wait for the weapon to enter the Hibiscus Pavilion. However, she carries a hidden weapon with her.
Jinse stood up and walked to the window, and through the gap, she clearly saw a figure flashing in the moonlight.
The hidden weapon in his hand was ready, and it was three very thick silver needles. Jin Se slammed open the window, and the man rolled out. She threw the weapon in the direction of the main hall door.
The dark shadow was about to open the door, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly dodged and avoided the hidden weapon.
Fei Lian saw Jin Se, pulled out his sword, and rushed over without saying anything about the ear hanging.
Jin Se suddenly threw a handful of soothing powder at Fei Lian. Fei Lian didn't expect it, he couldn't hide from it, and he smelled the smell.
"Tranquilizer?" Fei Lian frowned.
Jin Se smiled smugly and threw out three more silver needles.
Fei Lian hurriedly dodged. Although there is a veil covering his mouth and nose, he also sucked some into it with a sharp bite just now. He realized he couldn't stay any longer. The wisest thing to do now is to leave the Chu Palace.
Jin Se threw out three more silver needles. After Fei Lian dodged, he quickly climbed over the wall and left.
Seeing Feilian leaving, Jin Se didn't chase after her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Scared the hell out of me!" Jinse muttered.
Fei Lian left the Chu Palace, and at this time, he was already a little dizzy. insisted on returning to King Mu's mansion, and then closed his eyes and carried his head to the ground.
At this time, Yun Muqing had not slept yet. He paced up and down in the courtyard of the Langyue Pavilion, anxiously awaiting news.
Gu Jingyue stood to the side, her brows furrowed slightly.
A guard hurriedly ran over: "Lord Wang, Lord Feilian is back." But he fainted! ”
Hearing the guards say this, Yun Muqing's already anxious mood became even more anxious.
***
Outside the Peony Pavilion, the fierce battle continued. The Assassins didn't know that Fei Lian had left, and were still trying to stall for time. However, their strength was consumed a lot, and they were surrounded by the guards, and it was a little difficult to fight.
One of the assassins whispered, "Presumably your Excellency has already succeeded, let's break through and retreat!" ”
Several of the Assassins blistered together to break out.
"Want to run? Dream! Su Rin stood on the roof, looking at the silent assassin. He drew his sword and flew down.
Bi Luo held the hand that had been away for a long time tightly, and he didn't dare to come out.
Strange, why is it always easy for assassins to get in? Listening to the sound of fighting outside for a long time, I felt frightened, and at the same time felt very helpless. After all, the Chu Mansion is too big. It's also not realistic to send someone to keep an eye on the wall. Since he came to the palace to assassinate, he must not be an ordinary person.
The voices outside grew quieter. Kanazawa's voice came from outside the door: "The assassin is dead, is the mother okay?" ”
Inside came out the sound of the door opening. Mrs. Liu walked out. She opened the courtyard door and saw a mess outside, with some corpses lying on the ground.
"Niang Niang is fine, come out immediately, please wait a while, Lord Jin."
"Yes, Mama. Move the body away, don't scare the mother! Kanazawa commanded loudly.
"Wait," said Mrs. Liu, "Lord Jin, Niangniang said that she wants to see those assassins with her own eyes. ”
Kanazawa looked embarrassed. He looked at the corpses on the ground, some of them were blurred with flesh and blood.
Mrs. Liu saw Jin Ze's concerns: "Lord Jin doesn't have to worry, Niangniang is not a child, nor is she a weak woman." ”
Listening to Mrs. Liu's words, Jin Ze only felt funny. In his opinion, isn't she a weak woman after a long time?
However, since she had told her, Kanazawa could only do it.
Mrs. Liu walked over to the body of the assassin and saw that he had no stab wounds on his body, so she crouched down and examined it carefully.
At this time, Su Rin came over: "If you have poison in your mouth, you must be a dead man." ”
Mrs. Liu looked at the already blackened blood at the corner of the assassin's mouth, let out a long sigh, and stood up.
"In a few days, the prince will be in the capital. If something goes wrong with the mother, no one can afford it. Therefore, outside the Peony Pavilion, it must be guarded by a strong family. ”
Jin Ze hurriedly said: "Mama, in the future, at night, I will personally lead people to patrol outside the Peony Pavilion." ”
Mrs. Liu nodded: "Thank you, Lord Jin." ”
After a while, Li Jiujiu walked out wearing a veil. She frowned slightly when she saw the horrors on the ground. At this moment, she regretted it and really wanted to turn around and leave.
But so many people and so many pairs of eyes are watching. Turn around and leave, do you want to lose face?
Thinking of this, I can only bite the bullet for a long time. She looked up and stopped looking at the bodies.
"These dead guards, bury them well. Lord Kim, you must appease their families. In the future, their parents, wives and children will be taken care of by the Chu Palace, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing. ”
As soon as these words came out, they made waves in the hearts of the guards. Kanazawa couldn't help but be surprised.
In the face of this situation, a woman who looked weak and couldn't help but look calm. The first thing she did was not to ask about the identity of the Assassins, but to consider the guards and their families who had died protecting her.
Back in the Peony Pavilion, Bi Luo just closed the door, and sat down on the ground after a long time. Her legs had already been weak, but so many people were watching, and she could only hold on.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly helped her up and left for a long time. Biluo hurriedly moved a stool over and asked her to sit down quickly.
Mrs. Liu poured a cup of hot tea and brought it over: "Niangniang, drink tea quickly, suppress the shock." ”
Lijiu shook his head: "Those assassins are dead, and I don't know who sent them. How can those guards get justice for the unjust deaths of their guards? ”
Mrs. Liu sighed and said, "Niangniang, there is no impermeable wall in the world. Some retribution will not be fulfilled immediately, but sooner or later. ”
Li Jiujiu smiled bitterly: "It is also possible that it will never come." If there is love in the sky, the sky will be old. ”
"Miss, the slave will help you to rest. Otherwise, it will be dawn. Bi Luo said.
Li Jiujiu nodded and stood up.
Lying in bed, I didn't feel sleepy for a long time. Bi Luo knew that she was scared, so she left a candle.
In fact, why isn't Biluo afraid? It was the first time she had seen it. The corpses, the wounds, the scarlet blood, made her afraid to close her eyes.
Lie motionless on the bed for a long time. She looked at the curtains above her head with wide eyes. Because as soon as she closed her eyes, she could see the bright red corpses all over the ground, which had not yet cooled.
The reason why Lijiujiu didn't let Kanazawa remove those corpses was because he wanted to see with his own eyes how bloody and bloody this seemingly wealthy and peaceful prince's mansion was in the dead of night.
It's just that I didn't expect so many people to die for a long time. It made her feel sad.
What was her suffering compared to them who lost their lives? She lives well, and there are so many people to protect her,
She felt that she could no longer think about what had happened in the past. She must concentrate and live in the moment, for the sake of her grandfather and Biluo, for the people who care about her and protect her.
I think back to the nightmare I had tonight, and the blue water with a knife in my dream was hideous. I was completely relieved for a long time.
Since then, I have never dreamed of blue water for a long time.
The sound of the blue basket turning over gently came from outside the bed curtain. She was cautious, afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep even if she knew it for a long time.
She didn't move for a long time, she breathed evenly, and pretended to be asleep. She didn't want Bi Luo to worry.
In retrospect, Biluo is the same age as her. When she was a child, she also suffered the white eyes and ridicule she received. And she has experienced more than herself. Because, she always stands behind Jiujiu.
Bi Luo's eyes were open, and the scene of Fang Cai lingered in his mind. She couldn't hear any movement inside the curtains, and she was a little worried about being away for a long time.
Bi Luo wanted to ask if she had fallen asleep for a long time, and was worried that if she fell asleep, she would wake her up.
Time passed minute by minute, and tonight passed very slowly. Biluo has been thinking, why is it not bright yet?
Actually, Mrs. Liu didn't sleep either. She lay on the bed in the bedroom, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
In this way, the two people who could not sleep kept their eyes open until dawn.
On the other side, in King Mu's Mansion, Yun Muqing and Gu Jingyue also stayed awake all night.
Yun Muqing stood in the courtyard of Langyue Pavilion and raised his head to look at the lonely moon in the sky.
Yun Chuhan will arrive in the capital soon, and he doesn't know when the edict to canonize the crown prince will be delivered to the palace of the king of Chu.
Maybe after he came back, or maybe after Yun Chuhan recovered from his injury.
Yun Muqing pondered repeatedly in his mind, and he felt that the latter was more likely. In this way, he still has a chance. Otherwise, when Yun Chuhan enters the East Palace, it will be even more difficult to pull him down.
But how?
