Chapter 81: The Assassin Appears
The soil in this house is indeed very fertile, Lu Qingjin watched the other guards turn over the soil while wiping her sweat, Xiao Ling handed her a cup of tea, and her tone was a little helpless: "Why do you even have to watch the soil in person, where can you stand this hot day." ”
Lu Qingjin took the tea she handed over and took a sip before saying: "In the future, remember to call me Mrs. in the house, and where can I not stand this, this is not yet dog days, you don't know what is appropriate, and when you learn it, I will naturally be a lot lighter." ”
Xiao Ling nodded: "The slave understands, but the emperor is too ruthless, he knows that you do everything yourself, and he doesn't send more people over." ”
Lu Qingjin shook his head, not wanting to argue with this little girl, so he changed the topic and said; "Why is there no news from your son in the front yard recently, I looked at his injury that day and it seemed to be quite serious."
Wei Jinzhi didn't know when he appeared behind her, and said with a smile when he heard it; "Mrs. Lao is worried, and she is almost good in the future, but the enemy family has not retreated and wants to bother for a few days."
Lu Qingjin led him to the gazebo not far away, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at a cool place, although it was not yet dog weather, but in the end, it was summer, and Lu Qingjin's original body was not very good, and it was already very uncomfortable under the scorching sun all day.
Seeing this, Wei Jinzhi took out the handkerchief she was wearing and handed it to her: "Why is Madam working so hard, I can't bear to see it below, your husband is hard-hearted." ”
Lu Qingjin was dizzy from the sun, and he didn't care about it at the moment, so he took the handkerchief and wiped his sweat; "I'm coming by myself, the injuries on Childe's body shouldn't be healed yet, hurry up and go back to rest, I don't have to worry about it here."
Wei Jinzhi's eyes darkened, and he still smiled: "Since that's the case, I won't bother, I hope Madam has a good rest." ”
Lu Qingjin smiled and went back to the house with Xiao Ling's help, she was indeed tired.
Qin Zhao was sitting on the dragon chair and making folds, when a guard ran in in a panic; "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and the General ask to see you."
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Let them in." Ji Chen helped the old prime minister and walked in, and the two of them saluted quite respectfully, but neither of them was willing to speak first.
Zhang Dequan looked at Qin Zhao's face and coughed vigorously, and then the prime minister arched his hand and said: "The old minister heard that His Majesty wanted to get rid of a person recently, and he came to stop it, and the reasons were too complicated, so he asked the general to talk to His Majesty." ”
Ji Chenxin said that he was really an old fox, and in the end he still stepped forward against Qin Zhao's unkind gaze; "The minister and the prime minister found out that the musician who is now in the Huangzhuang seems to be related to the remnants of the previous dynasty, so I hope that Your Majesty will not startle the snake."
Qin Zhao was still a little unhappy in his heart, squinting at the two people in the main hall; "You mean not only can't I kill that kid, but I also have to watch him continue to contact the Queen?"
The prime minister coughed twice and was a little embarrassed; "The old minister has no such intention, but there is really no other way, it is better for Your Majesty to recall the queen mother, so as to avoid contact between the two."
Qin Zhao was a little moved, but he let out a long sigh when he thought of the situation in the palace; "You two should know that this palace is really not good now, don't toss her at this time."
Ji Chen was a little strange why the palace was in such a mess and didn't let the queen return to the palace, the prime minister seemed to want to open his mouth when he saw him, and hurriedly glanced at him, Ji Chen knew that although this prime minister was very reliable, he shut up for a while.
Qin Zhao quietly closed his eyes and pondered, and after a long while, he said, "You go and tell Zhao Yunheng that I miss him a little, and invite him to live in the palace for a while." ”
The two men glanced at each other, bowed obediently, and went out.
Lu Qingjin in the Huangzhuang didn't know that her partner who lived in the outer courtyard had already rolled on the tip of the knife, and she was sleeping with the quilt Zhengxiang.
Xiao Ling also stayed at the head of the bed drowsily, because Lu Qingjin was not bad to her subordinates, she also had an extra quilt under her, the night was thick, the oil lamp on the table was already dim, and a gentle footstep outside bypassed the guards and slowly approached.
Xiao Ling was about to fall asleep when she suddenly snorted, someone like her who has been specially trained must have a special sense of murder, she immediately turned over to the window, the oil lamp on the table could no longer support herself, and slowly extinguished, and her footsteps in the dark became more obvious.
Xiao Ling stayed motionless in front of the window, I don't know how long it took for the window to finally be opened, a man with a long knife in his hand slowly walked in, Xiao Ling's face did not fluctuate in the moonlight, she clenched the long sword in her hand and stabbed expressionlessly.
Before the assassin could make a sound, he fell to the ground, and Xiao Ling pulled out the sword from the assassin's throat before shouting, "Come on, there are assassins here, protect Madame." ”
Lu Qingjin heard the sound and hurriedly got up, Xiao Ling rushed over and covered her eyes with a trembling hand: "Don't look, madam, there is no danger anymore, just wait here for a while." ”
It was not the guards but the three palace maids who came first, and they rushed into the house with short swords in their hands, and when they saw the corpse on the ground, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, and they dragged the corpse out without saying anything.
It was only when the voice gradually moved away that Lu Qingjin pulled Xiao Ling's hand away: "You go and tell the people outside to be careful, and by the way, pass the news here into the palace tomorrow morning, as for the assassin's body, wait until the news comes from the palace." ”
Xiao Ling agreed and hurriedly went out, and Lu Qingjin sighed tiredly and lay down again.
At this time, the palace was also brightly lit, and Zhao Yunheng stretched out his hand to let the imperial doctor bandage it while saying: "With all due respect, it is really not peaceful in the capital now, and the minister asks to stay in the capital for a period of time to protect Your Majesty." ”
Qin Zhao's eyes flickered, and he said in a relieved tone: "I thank you for your loyalty, although it is said that the king with a different surname cannot stay in the capital for long, in the end, it is an eventful season, so I will allow you to stay until the New Year's Festival." ”
Zhao Yunheng seemed to be very moved, and he knelt on the ground without caring about the injury on his hand and said: "The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations, and the identity of this assassin will definitely be revealed." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dequan hurriedly came in: "Your Majesty, there is an assassin in the imperial village where the queen mother is located." ”
Qin Zhao's face finally changed, and he asked a little urgently, "How is it?" Is there anything wrong with the Queen? ”
A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Yunheng's mouth who was kneeling on the ground, but Zhang Dequan's next sentence made him unable to laugh.
Zhang Dequan bowed and replied, "The assassin is dead, but fortunately, the queen is fine." ”
