Chapter Seventy-Two: Temptation
On a good day, the imperial concubine was attacked by assassins, and Emperor Xu Kang was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. However, the quality of the assassins was extremely high, and there was no living wound left at the scene, so it was very difficult to verify.
"No matter what, if you dare to assassinate in broad daylight, I will not spare me." Emperor Xu Kangdi put down his cruel words and accompanied the imperial concubine back to Chengqian Palace.
Tang Feng's injuries were not serious, and her knees and palms were scratched a little bit of skin all over her body, but she had always maintained her skin and skin tenderly, and such scars were shocking on her body.
The doctor cleaned her wound and applied medicine, and the hot feeling finally cooled down a little.
Xu Kangdi was a little unusually silent today, he probably didn't expect that someone would dare to attack so blatantly, and his majesty was challenged like never before. Tang Feng saw him sitting there silently, struggled to get up, and said, "Your Majesty ......"
"What do you do, lie down." Xu Kangdi retracted and pondered, got up and pressed her back, complaining, "Are you still restless when you are injured?" Be obedient, don't let me worry. β
Tang Feng smiled, his face a little tired. Xu Kangdi held her hand distressedly and said, "I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, and I will not let you be wronged in vain." Hello rest, I'll go ahead and hear how they're doing. β
"Your Majesty, don't be too tired, the concubine is very safe in the palace now, check slowly."
"You have a big heart." He smiled and squeezed her hand, put it in the quilt, tucked the quilt and got up, "This matter is not trivial, I will definitely investigate it to the end." β
At the very least, it is said that there are people who hate the imperial concubine and want to kill her quickly, and at the very least, it is said that there are people who are not used to Emperor Xu Kang's pampering of the imperial concubine and want to challenge the imperial power. The former was just found out and killed, but the latter ...... Xu Kangdi was not unaware of the ups and downs in the court, he naturally had a scale in his heart.
After Xu Kangdi left, the lotus root came over and whispered something in Tang Feng's ear, and the person who was lying on the bed to recuperate suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"Where is she?"
"The slave maid led her to the apse, and the mother was relieved that she didn't see it."
The apse of Chengqian Palace has always been less crowded, it is narrow and damp here, compared to the golden splendor of the front hall, it is simply not a palace here. The people waiting inside were sitting in this remote hall, she was wearing a turquoise palace dress, and she looked like a delicate and lovely palace maid.
"Squeakβ"
The "palace maid" looked up, and she couldn't see the appearance of the person who came clearly against the light, but in terms of this figure and the style of the whole body, the person she wanted to come would not be the second.
"The concubine participates in the mother, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." She took a few steps forward, and by the light that was still visible from the window, her delicate face was revealed to the visitor.
Tang Feng fanned the air on the tip of her nose with her hand, as if she smelled a musty smell, she glanced at the person in front of her, and said, "Yi Guiren took great pains to invite this palace here, it shouldn't be that he cares about how this palace hurts." β
Yi Guiren, one of Xu Kangdi's new favorite Xining women, is also the woman who surprised Tang Feng the most when she danced on the water that day. It was about that day that the scenery was good and the atmosphere was good, and the idea of dancing on the water was too exquisite, and the colors of the five points were all pulled into seven or eight points. Detached from the scene of the day, just look at it carefully, although the appearance of Yi Guiren is also beautiful and delicate, but there is no sense of amazement that day.
"Don't you want to know who attacked you today?" Yiguiren kept his saluting posture and asked with a smile with his head down.
Tang Feng chose a fairly clean chair to sit down, looked at Yi Guiren indifferently, and said, "It won't be your King of Xining." β
Yiguiren denied: "Naturally not. The prince wants to cooperate with Niangniang, how can he attack Niangniang? Niangniang's safety is related to the success or failure of Xining's battle, and the prince does not dare to let Niangniang have anything to do. β
When I heard this, I thought that the imperial concubine was someone from Xining, and it could be related to the success or failure of Xining. The corners of Tang Feng's mouth raised a sarcastic arc, and said, "Don't pull this palace onto your thief ship." Look at your current identity, this palace didn't go to His Majesty to denounce you, and it was already open. β
When others heard this, they must be afraid, who is the imperial concubine? It's not easy to mess with. Unexpectedly, Yi Guiren raised his head with a smile, there was a gloomy energy in this hall, and the people in it were all on guard, but she didn't care at all, raised her head and said with a smile: "The prince said, if the mother can fulfill him, Xu Xiang's life will be handed over to him to solve." β
Under Tang Feng's eyes, killing intent flashed.
"How many people are left in the mother's notebook? Xu Xiang, Your Majesty ......"
"That's enough." Tang Feng rudely interrupted her words, "You don't need to show off how much you know in front of this palace, since the King of Xining dares to tell you these things, then you must not be an ordinary character under his account." β
Yi Guiren smiled, and his pretty face was a little calculating and shrewd: "When the concubine entered the customs, the prince instructed him, don't be the enemy of the mother, and the concubine always keeps it in mind." In distress today, don't you want to know who did it? β
It's no wonder if you don't want to. It's just that she has made a lot of enemies in the past few days, and there are groups of people who want her life, can she still distinguish them one by one?
"If you know something, tell me."
Yi Guiren asked with a smile: "Why didn't King Qing come to congratulate Niangniang on her birthday this time?" β
Tang Feng thought for a moment, and saw that Yi Guiren took out a piece wrapped in a handkerchief from her arms, she uncovered the handkerchief, and handed the blackened wooden plaque to Tang Feng: "Niangniang, look, this wooden plaque is a pass, don't you wonder how these assassins can get in?" Here's the answer. β
This is a forbidden army passcard, with this is their own people, free to go around the territory of the forbidden army.
Tang Feng took the wooden card, wiped the dust on it with his fingers, and recognized that this was indeed a genuine pass card, but what could this represent? She flipped the wooden sign over and over twice, and touched it inch by inch with her handβ
Wait, she suddenly turned the wooden card back to the back, took a closer look at the wooden card, and there was a small number engraved in the lower right corner.
"What is this?" Tang Feng was deeply surprised.
Yiguiren said calmly: "Each pass card has a number, and when and where it is issued to whom, it is recorded in the book." This piece is the twenty-three, Niangniang might as well guess who this number corresponds to? β
"People from Qingwangfu?" She won't mention King Qing for no reason, and if she mentions it, it means that the person behind this number has been confirmed to be who. Tang Feng put down the wooden card, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, looked at her deeply, and said, "It's rare that you have investigated so carefully." β
"The safety of the mother is very important, and the concubines have to be cautious."
Tang Feng saw that she was still in a kneeling position, as if she had finally remembered, and said, "Get up and talk back." β
"Xie Niangniang." Yi Guiren smiled and got up, without a trace of shame.
"What do you princes want this palace to do?"
Yi Guiren's face was finally no longer so calm and unwavering, her eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "The prince wants to ask Niangniang to defend Xining in front of His Majesty, the war is about to start, and the prince needs a little time not to be noticed." β
