Chapter XVII: Assassination Wounded
The two of them entered the house, "Ling'er, this is the clothes I bought for you in Yunyi Pavilion, go and put them on to see if they look good." Zhao Qiujin handed the goose yellow dress to Ling'er.
"Niangniang, you are really good to the slave maid, how valuable are the clothes of Yunyi Pavilion, how can the slave and maid bear it." Ling'er was moved to tears.
Zhao Qiujin was looking through the things he had bought today, and when he heard Ling'er say this, he raised his eyes and looked at Ling'er, "What to do or not, you are my first friend here, I am willing to buy things for you, you can use it, don't be polite to me, good Ling'er, go and try it." Zhao Qiujin looked at Ling'er sincerely and said seriously.
Ling'er didn't shirk anymore and changed her clothes.
In Leng Lingzhe's palace, "Your Majesty, someone saw with his own eyes a handsome and dashing man in white who had just entered the palace of the queen's mother. ”
Leng Lingzhe clenched the teacup in his hand when he heard the information, gritted his back molars, and squeezed out a few words, "Shangguan Xin'er!" ”
"Come on, set up Fengyi Palace." , and then felt that he didn't think about it, "People retreat, don't need it." So Leng Lingzhe secretly went to Fengyi Palace by himself.
At this time in Fengyi Palace, Zhao Qiujin and Ling'er were studying the gold and silver jewelry they bought, "Niangniang, this phoenix blood bracelet is really good, and it is very good for your temperament." Ling'er said to Shangguan Xin'er, who was wearing a bracelet.
"yes, I thought so." Saying that, she teased Ling'er with her eyes, and Ling'er lowered her head shyly.
Leng Lingzhe looked at Shangguan Xin'er dressed in white outside the house, and thought to himself, the handsome and dashing man in the informant's mouth is Shangguan Xin'er dressed as a man. However, Shangguan Xin'er is indeed not ugly in men's clothes, Leng Lingzhe wanted to hear the reason why Shangguan Xin'er was pretending to be a man, but after listening to it for a while, he heard that Shangguan Xin'er was going to take a bath.
Leng Lingzhe was about to get up and return, but he saw a figure on the locust tree by the palace wall in the distance, Leng Lingzhe thought it was a spy sent by Shangguan Yu, so he stood still, waiting for the plan of the spy and Shangguan Xin'er.
Half a moment later, the black shadow on the tree flashed, Leng Lingzhe saw three or four people in black, and wondered in his heart, how could there be so many spies, there must be a problem, and the cold light of the weapon flashed, this group of people was afraid that someone sent a killer to kill Shangguan Xin'er.
I saw the people in black jumping out of the window with weapons, at this time Zhao Qiujin had just finished bathing and changing, and entered the room, only to see three or four people in black surrounding her, one of the men in black raised a knife and slashed at Zhao Qiujin, Zhao Qiujin dodged, and then punched the left face of the man in black, and then swept his legs, and the man in black fell to the ground.
The other black-clothed people saw Shangguan Xin'er, not like the weak woman described by the person, but they didn't expect it to be a practitioner, so they rushed up, and the knives slashed at Zhao Qiujin, she turned around quickly and jumped behind the black-clothed people, wanting to break them one by one, but the black-clothed people cooperated closely with each other, and at first glance they were professionally trained.
Two fists were invincible to four hands, and gradually Zhao Qiujin was defeated, and his left shoulder was also kicked by the man in black.
Leng Lingzhe wanted to know if Prime Minister Shangguan had sent someone to lurk in the palace at first, so he waited for Shangguan Yu's people to rescue her, but he didn't expect Shangguan Xin'er to be able to do kung fu, and his curiosity about Shangguan Xin'er was even more serious, looking at Shangguan Xin'er who was gradually defeated, Leng Lingzhe was hesitating to save her.
At this time, Ling'er rushed to hear the sound and found that several black-clothed people were fighting with Shangguan Xin'er, so she shouted in panic, "Come on, there are assassins~", a man in black saw Ling'er and slashed at Ling'er with a knife.
Zhao Qiujin saw that Ling'er was in danger, so he flew up and kicked away the knife that was looking at Ling'er, but at this time, another man in black attacked Shangguan Xin'er from behind, Zhao Qiujin was cut in the back by the knife, and he fell to the ground weakly.
The other black-clothed people saw that the person had fallen, so they slashed at Zhao Qiujin with a knife, Leng Lingzhe flew in, kicked the person away, and repelled the black-clothed man.
Zhao Qiujin inhaled in pain, looked at Leng Lingzhe, and guessed that he might have already arrived, but he just wanted to test her.
"Yo, it's really time for you to come, why are you the only one, if you come one step late, then you have to lose your wife and become a widower." Zhao Qiujin endured the pain and secretly ridiculed Leng Lingzhe's words.
Leng Lingzhe looked at the weak Shangguan Xin'er and realized that he was a little weak-hearted. Zhao Qiujin gradually lost his strength and closed his eyelids.
"Imperial Doctor, pass on Imperial Physician quickly." Leng Lingzhe shouted anxiously.
Ling'er looked at Shangguan Xin'er, who was injured in order to save herself, her eyes were red, and she shouted anxiously: "Niangniang, Niangniang, wake up quickly, don't fall asleep." Wait, the slave will go and call the doctor immediately," and then hurriedly ran to call the doctor.
Leng Lingzhe hugged Shangguan Xin'er, who was unconscious due to excessive blood loss, and felt a little remorseful, if he could have made a move earlier, Shangguan Xin'er would not have been injured...
The Imperial Physician arrived and inspected the wound, and found that the deepest part of the knife wound had exposed white bones, which showed that the assassin was fatal with a knife.
At this time, in the Fengzhaoxia Palace, "A group of waste, even a woman can't beat it, what are you doing to eat, useless things!" Feng Zhaoxia was furious when she heard that the assassination had failed.
"Niangniang forgives her sins, the queen mother is not a weak woman, she looks like she has practiced, and just when we were about to kill her, the emperor suddenly appeared and saved the queen mother." One of the leading men in black described the situation.
"What? The emperor appeared last! This slut is really damned, and he even seduced the emperor to Fengyi Palace again. As soon as he heard that Leng Lingzhe appeared next to Shangguan Xin'er again and saved her, Feng Zhaoxia's anger was even worse.
"Humph! In the end, it's all useless for you, if you don't kill that slut before the emperor arrives, get out of here! Feng Zhaoxia had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only be angry at those men in black.
In the imperial study, Leng Lingzhe was thinking about the assassination in Fengyi Palace tonight, the palace was heavily guarded, how could there be more than one assassin who could easily enter, and he could also be familiar with the route in the palace, and easily find the queen's bedroom, the main messenger behind the scenes must be someone in the palace or someone familiar with the palace.
While he was pondering, Leng Lingyi came in, "Your Majesty, this king heard that the queen was assassinated. ”
"I've ordered a thorough investigation into the matter." Leng Lingzhe saw that Leng Lingyi cared about the queen, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"The assassin entered the palace as if he was in a no-man's land, which means that the palace has great security risks, I don't know if it was the prime minister's doing, the emperor might as well release the news of the queen's assassination and see the prime minister's reaction." Leng Lingyi suggested.
"What Uncle Huang said is reasonable, so do what Uncle Huang wants."
The next day, the news of Shangguan Xin'er's assassination spread everywhere, "I heard that there were several assassins in the queen's palace last night, and I heard that the mother was also injured." ”
"Oh, yes, how could anyone break into Fengyi Palace and assassinate."
"Hey, this person is afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Niangniang shined at the banquet and won Liang Guo Han Moli, there must be someone who can't stand it."
