Chapter 143: Such a Coincident?
A woman who is too sensible is always more distressing, her eyes are dark, and Bei Mingchen's heart can't help but be a little heavier, "You don't need to do it!" It's just a minion, this king can solve it himself! ”
"I know, but I didn't have time to think about it so much just now!" He Muwan replied truthfully, it was not the first time, this time, her mood was obviously much calmer than the last time in the woods.
Coming back to her senses, she turned to the man and asked, "Do you know who these assassins are, and whether they are targeting me or you?" ”
"How could an assassin with such bad skills be used against this king!" Reverting to his usual impropriety, Bei Mingchen said with a slight mockery, and as he spoke, he walked straight towards the man in black who fell to the ground and died.
If these people are coming for themselves, then the most likely thing is to kill in love, thinking about yesterday, she negotiated with Su Zixi in the Ruiling Palace, He Muwan felt that these assassins were very likely to be sent by Su Zixi.
"The people behind these assassins are not what you think!" Seeing the woman's thoughtfulness in his eyes, Bei Mingchen immediately guessed her thoughts.
As he spoke, the man had already crouched down, groping around the men in black for objects that could prove their identity, and pulled down the veils of several men in black.
I can't figure out the relationship between the man and Su Zixi, so He Muwan didn't plan to tell the man about his conjecture, but he never thought that he would still be seen through by the man.
Since this is the case, she didn't want to hide it anymore, so she simply followed the man's words and asked, "How do you know?" ”
"Do you want to ask the king how he knows who you are thinking of are? Or do I want to ask how the king knows that it was not that man? Xiu raised his eyebrows, and Bei Mingchen asked knowingly.
Before the woman could answer, he continued: "If it is the former, it is because the husband and wife are of the same heart, and this king and the princess have a good heart......"
No matter what kind of situation it is, it seems that as long as he faces the woman in front of him, a man can't help but want to flirt with her.
But before he finished speaking, he was slapped by He Muwan, and at the same time, she had already opened her mouth to interrupt him, "I asked the latter!" ”
With a slight smile, Bei Mingchen took out a wooden waist card from the arms of a man in black, held it in the air and said, "This waist card is carried by the palace guards!" ”
"You mean to say that these black-clad assassins are actually palace guards?" He Muwan reacted immediately, but there was obvious surprise on her face, she didn't know why the palace guards would come to assassinate her.
"Not bad!" Responding casually, a touch of depth flashed in Bei Mingchen's eyes, He Muwan didn't know, but he already knew who the mastermind behind the scenes was.
Because of the guard lying in front of him, he had seen it in the palace before, although it was only a passing side, but he had always had an excellent memory, and he could basically remember it.
At the palace banquet of the Qiqiao Festival, He Mu was poisoned at night, and for this reason, Bei Mingchen went to warn Qiao Youyan, and at that time, he saw the guard in the Wohua Palace.
"Who in the palace wants to kill me?" He Muwan muttered thoughtfully: "I have no contact with the people in the palace, and I don't seem to have any enemies!" ”
He Muwan knew that if he could mobilize the palace guards, that person's identity must not be simple, could it be the Empress Dowager Gu, because of the relationship between the Gu family and the He family, who had murderous intent towards herself?
He Muwan was simple-minded, and she didn't know the horror of the harem at all, except for the Gu family, she really couldn't think of anyone else, because she couldn't imagine that she was not in the harem, but there would still be people who were jealous of Bei Mingyan's kindness to her.
"People's hearts are sinister, especially the women in the harem, their hearts are like snakes and scorpions, you should be more careful yourself in the future, remember not to trust anyone easily, especially those concubines of the imperial brother!" Understanding a woman's heart, Bei Mingchen reminded him.
In the Wohua Palace, Qiao Youyan was restless, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, pacing around the room, and seeing Pearl coming back from outside in a hurry, she hurriedly greeted her, "How is it, have you succeeded?" ”
Her eyes dimmed, and Pearl shook her head and responded: "No, the spies just sent back the news, saying that the people sent by Niangniang were all killed, and none of them survived!" ”
"How so?" With disbelief in the loss, Qiao Youyan was surprised: "There are so many elite guards, how can they not even deal with an unarmed weak woman?" ”
"How did they all die?" After thinking about it, Qiao Youyan asked again.
"According to the spies, almost all of the guards' fatal injuries were sword wounds, and judging from the speed of the shot, the opponent's skills should be good, but one of them died from a short arrow shot from a long range! I guess I was shot while running for my life! ”
"Looks like someone is secretly protecting her!" Qiao Youyan stared.
She didn't know whether it was Bei Mingchen or Bei Mingyan who protected her, she only knew that she was poisoning and assassinating, and she attacked He Muwan twice, but all of them were in vain.
Qiao Youyan felt more and more that He Muwan was not a simple character.
The He family fell, and the whole family died, but she was the only one who survived, not only that, but Bei Yingyan also explicitly ordered to retain her position as Princess Ruiling.
In this way, as long as she has no major faults, even Bei Yingchen has no right to depose her privately. Even if He Muwan is not in the harem, the world is unpredictable, and who can say for sure what will happen in the future.
If one day, Bei Mingyan really cleared the dynasty and brought down the Gu family, at that time, he was full-fledged and no longer needed the full support of the minister, would he include He Muwan in the harem and be canonized as the queen.
Such a threat, how could Qiao Youyan sit idly by, unless Bei Yingyan does not stand up for the rest of his life, otherwise, his posterior position can only be hers, and anyone who will pose a threat to her, Qiao Youyan will do whatever it takes to get rid of her.
Therefore, He Muwan must not stay! Thinking like this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Qiao Youyan's dark eyes.
After dealing with those assassins, Bei Mingchen and He Muwan went back to the palace from the outskirts of the city, they hadn't eaten for a day, and when they passed through the market and smelled the aroma of food from the roadside stalls, He Muwan only felt very hungry.
Seeing the woman's thoughts, Bei Mingchen pointed to a stall not far in front and said: "The barbecue shop in front tastes very good, this king is hungry, you can accompany this king to eat something!" ”
The words fell, and Bei Mingchen had already walked in front.
Such a coincidence? How did he know I was hungry too? He Muwan thought about it in her heart, was stunned for a moment, and found that the man had walked a long distance, so she hurriedly walked forward and followed.
