Chapter 208: Muddy the Waters

Emperor Showa looked at him and asked in a deep voice, "What did you find?" ”

Nightshade put a black hidden weapon on the dragon case and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have found that there is a two-life flower on this hidden weapon. ”

Emperor Showa picked up the hidden weapon and looked at it, and there was indeed a flower carved in the center of the hidden weapon. "What do you mean?"

"This is the mark of a well-known assassination organization in Western Chu."

Emperor Showa's face was slightly gloomy. "Western Chu Kingdom?"

"Yes."

"Are you saying those assassins are from the Western Chu Kingdom?"

Nightshade shook her head. "The identity of an assassin cannot be determined by the mark on a hidden weapon alone, and it is not impossible for someone to use it."

Emperor Showa threw down the secret weapon and narrowed his eyes. "Whoever it is, I must find out!"

"Yes."

"Stand down."

Nightshadow bowed back, and the figure quickly disappeared into the study.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yang, the commander of the forbidden army, asks to see you."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

The door to the study opened, and Lord Yang walked in. "See the Emperor."

"The assassin caught it?"

"Back to the emperor, Weichen captured five people alive, and five people died of poison."

"Who gave them the audacity to stab?!"

Lord Yang quickly raised his head and glanced at Emperor Showa. "Your Majesty, those assassins said that they were all killers of the killer organization of the Western Chu Kingdom, but they were only ordered to assassinate the emperor, and they didn't know who the employer was."

The killer organizations on the rivers and lakes have always had rules, they only take money to do things, and they don't care who the employer is and why they want to kill people.

"He, the people of the Western Chu Kingdom, are so bold!"

Emperor Showa slapped the table!

"Go, bring those assassins to the main hall, and then call the envoys of the Western Chu Kingdom."

"Yes."

Soon, Emperor Showa arrived at the main hall of the council, and Lord Yang escorted the kidnapped assassins up.

Emperor Showa sat on the dragon chair and looked at the assassins with heavy eyes.

"Your Majesty, Princess Crescent Moon and the Six Princes have arrived."

"Let them in."

Nangong Allure walked into the hall with Nangong Cong.

"Is the monarch of the Eastern Jin Dynasty okay?" After Nangong fell into the city, he looked at Emperor Showa and said with concern.

Emperor Showa coldly hooked the corners of his lips. "I can't die yet."

Nangong Chengcheng looked at Emperor Showa's attitude, and frowned unconsciously.

"I asked you two to come over because I wanted them to tell me what was going on with these assassins?!"

Nangong Allure was dazed, looking at Emperor Showa in confusion. "I wonder what the monarch means by that?"

Emperor Showa sneered. "These are all killers from Xichu, what does Princess Crescent Moon mean by me?!"

Emperor Showa's arrogant questioning just now made Nangong Cong displeased, and his face sank directly at this time. "It's really funny, just arrest two people and say that they are the killers of my Western Chu, even if the monarch of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is unwilling to befriend my Western Chu, there is no need to use such clumsy means to frame him, right?"

Emperor Showa's eyes narrowed. "You say I'm framing you?" As he spoke, he threw the hidden weapon on the table in front of the two of them. "Then how to explain this, this is the unique secret weapon of Xichu's famous killer organization! These people also say that they are from Xichu, can it be that I have framed you!? ”

Nangong Cong picked up the hidden weapon and looked at it, his brows furrowed, this secret weapon was indeed from

The killer organization of Western Chu.

"The monarch of the Eastern Jin Dynasty must not be deceived by traitors! This is obviously someone who wants to stir up the relationship between Western Chu and the Eastern Jin Dynasty! Nangong Chengcheng said with a serious face.

The look on Emperor Showa's face was slightly paused, and he looked at her without saying a word.

Nangong Chengcheng continued: "The monarch knows where we came from, if Western Chu really wants to be an enemy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, why bother so much? What's more, befriending the Eastern Jin Dynasty is harmless for Western Chu, the monarch thinks about it, if the monarch fights with Western Chu, who is the biggest beneficiary? ”

Hearing this, Emperor Showa was silent.

"Having said that, before finding out the truth, I also ask the two good students to recuperate in the palace."

Nangong Allure's words are not unreasonable, but the suspicion of the Western Chu State cannot be completely lifted.

"The matter is not what we did, and we are not afraid of the monarch's deep investigation, the monarch can rest assured that he needs to go to the place where we Xichu cooperate, and we will definitely not shirk anything."

Nangong Allure's cooperation calmed down Emperor Showa's anger at the beginning a lot, and his attitude eased a little. "Princess Crescent Moon rest assured, if this matter has nothing to do with the Western Chu Kingdom, I will definitely return the two of them to innocence."

Nangong Chengcheng and Nangong Cong were sent back to the palace, and as soon as they returned, the number of forbidden troops guarding outside the palace was more than double that of before.

Nangong Cong watched the forbidden army guarding the door and sat down beside Nangong Allure. "Allure, you sent those killers?"

Nangong Cong was a little frightened when he saw the secret weapon, Nangong Allure was his sister-in-law, and many of Nangong Allure's affairs were handled by him, and he knew better than anyone who the person behind the killer organization was.

Nangong Allure nodded without denial.

Nangong Cong was even more surprised, and suppressed his voice to the lowest. "Why did you do this, you wanted the life of Emperor Showa?"

Nangong Allure raised his eyes, with a shallow smile on the corner of his lips. "If you wanted his life, you wouldn't have sent just a few people."

"Why is that?"

Nangong Chengcheng picked up the silver needle on the table and gently stirred the incense in the incense burner, and said casually: "The Eastern Jin Dynasty has been too peaceful over the years, and only by muddying the water this time can we take the opportunity to fish." ”

"That'...... Who do you want the assassin to assassinate Emperor Showa this time? ”

Nangong Allure raised his eyelids. "Naturally, he was the most feared person by Emperor Showa......"

An assassin infiltrated the palace with the intention of assassinating Emperor Showa, and this matter soon spread in Xijing, and Emperor Showa ordered a strict investigation to find out the spies of other countries who were hiding in Xijing City and intended to murder him within half a month.

For a time, the whole of Western Kyoto fell into a panic that everyone was in danger.

During this period, Lin Haode, who had been lying in bed for more than half a month, also improved his injuries a lot.

"Master, these are all silver tickets after the lady sells her dowry." The housekeeper walked up to Lin Haode with a box and said.

Lin Haode took the box and opened it to look at it, and there were silver tickets with a denomination of 1,000 denominations, a total of 30,000 taels of silver.

"Tell Madame, this matter is over, you let the big kitchen prepare a few of Madame's favorite dishes, and let Madame come over for a meal tonight."

"Yes, the little one will go and pass the word to the lady."

Lin Haode nodded, and the moment the housekeeper withdrew, his face slowly sank.

After the housekeeper passed Lin Haode's words to Zhang's family, Zhang's face showed a smug look.

Who knows, after Zhang went to eat at night, he fell ill the next day.

The doctor who came to see the doctor said that Zhang's was because of the Zhang family's afterthought

Worried that she was too seriously ill, Lin Haode felt uncomfortable when he heard it, so he asked Zhang to be sent to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to recuperate, and then take her back when her condition improved.

"Miss, do you think the master will bring the lady back?" Both looked at the Zhang family who was carried into the carriage, in just two days, the Lin Mansion seemed to have changed the sky, the people who served the Zhang family before were a little panicked, and the people who served the Zhang family in close proximity before were sent away, no one knew how the Zhang family was seriously ill and was sent to Zhuangzi, is it possible to come back this time?

Lin Mumu looked at the carriage that was moving away, and the corners of her lips were lightly hooked. "Then it's up to her creation."

"Eldest Miss, someone came to the palace, saying that the Queen Mother was unwell and asked the eldest lady to enter the palace immediately to see the Queen Mother." Qiaoqiao walked quickly to Lin Mumu and said.

"I see, go get my medicine kit."

"Yes, Miss, wait a minute, the slave will go."

After taking the medicine box, Lin Mumu quickly got into the carriage in the palace.

The carriage drove directly into the palace gate before stopping.

As soon as Lin Mumu got out of the car, a palace maid walked over. "Lord Lin is fine, the Queen Mother has been waiting for Lord Lin for a long time, Lord Lin, please come with the slave maid."

"There is labor."

The two walked for nearly two quarters of an hour before arriving at the Queen Mother's Cloud Bowl Palace.

The palace maid directly led Lin Mumu into the inner hall. "Mama Liao, Lord Lin has arrived."

Mama Liao walked up to Lin Mumu and blessed her body. "Lord Lin show the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's face was not very good when she got up in the morning, and now she is even more unconscious, the Imperial Doctor has come to see it, but he can't see the reason."

"Mama Liao, don't worry, I'll take a look first."

Lin Mumu walked to the Queen Mother's bed and saw the Queen Mother lying on the bed as if she was asleep.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother?"

Lin Mumu called the Queen Mother twice, but there was no response.

She stretched out her hand to probe the Queen Mother's pulse, and a touch of surprise flashed in her eyes, she remembered to see the Queen Mother when she was in the Thousand Buddha Temple, her pulse was stable and powerful, and it was no problem to live for another twenty years, but why did the pulse suddenly become so weak this time?

Lin Mumu let go of his hand, took out the silver needle from the medicine box and pierced the Queen Mother's Yintang acupoint and the tiger's mouth, after the silver needle fell, the Queen Mother's fingertips trembled, but there was still no sign of waking up.

This situation is somewhat similar to when I was in the Thousand Buddha Temple before.

Lin Mumu pursed her lips, took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out a pill, pinched the queen mother's mouth, and pressed the pill under the base of the queen mother's tongue.

When the pill entered, the Queen Mother's fingertips trembled again.

"Lord Lin, what the hell is wrong with the Queen Mother?"

Lin Mumu's face did not change and said: "Mama Liao, don't worry, the Queen Mother is probably in poor spirits because she was too worried about the assassination of the emperor before, and now she is just asleep, I just gave the Queen Mother a medicine to replenish essence, and it won't be long before the Queen Mother will wake up." ”

As soon as Lin Mumu's words fell, the Queen Mother's body suddenly twitched.

Seeing this, Lin Mumu secretly picked between her eyebrows, it seems that her guess is not wrong, the Queen Mother is not sick at all and has not passed out, but is pretending!

What she fed the Queen Mother just now was not a medicine that replenished essence, but a medicine that would make people itch after eating, this medicine was useless to a person who really passed out, she could see that the Queen Mother was trying her best to forbear, she wanted to see how long she could endure!

"Ahem!"

But in less than half an hour, the Queen Mother couldn't help it, and she pretended to cough lightly and woke up faintly.
