Chapter 539: Rong Yu is assassinated
The small changes in the Murong Mansion can't make a splash in Chang'an City, after all, there are too many things recently, and the interesting stories in the streets and alleys are one after another, who will notice the movements of the Murong Mansion?
It's just that the people of the Second Prince's Mansion have always been keen about the affairs of Murong Mansion, and they secretly learned the news, and they sent an official to secretly participate in Murong Kai's book.
But for Murong Kai, it didn't hurt.
Now that Li Xiaoyun has been cleared of his position, the second prince still has not given up looking for him to find the antidote to Su Guifei, but Li Xiaoyun has never had any intersection with the second prince's people in private, and even said that he can't have any antidote at all.
The second prince saw Li Xiaoyun's evasive appearance towards him, although he was a little unwilling, but he also knew that no matter whether Li Xiaoyun had an antidote in his hand or not, it was impossible to get it.
After all, Li Xiaoyun has always given no face to anyone.
I heard that Li Xiaoyun became a parent, but the wedding was held in a hurry, and the woman who entered the door was a little-known little girl, but no one cared, but Li Xiaoyun just found a girl and became a parent.
Although Shen Qingyi became close to the fifth princess, he was indifferent to the fifth princess, leaving the house early on weekdays and returning at night, but he didn't even see him.
Sometimes the fifth princess deliberately went to block Shen Qingyi, just to see him, but all she got was his cold face, looking at the five princesses' eyes as cold as a bottomless cold pool, which made people panic.
But the fifth princess has always been willful, how could she be easily frightened away by Shen Qingyi's indifference, and even began to chase after Hanlin Courtyard to make a fuss.
Shen Qingyi just calmly watched the five princesses make a fuss, but she still looked so cold that she didn't care about herself.
This matter made a lot of noise, the fifth princess and Shen Qingyi were played several copies of the imperial history, but Shen Qingyi looked like he would admit punishment for everything, which made people sympathize with this champion.
Thinking about it, Shen Qingyi had already been admitted to the champion at a young age, his family background was not bad, and he was handsome, that was how many girls in Chang'an City were happy with him, and how many families wanted to marry him, but he didn't expect that in the end he would become the concubine of the fifth princess.
Thinking of the fierce appearance of the fifth princess, everyone only felt that Shen Qingyi had been greatly wronged.
The emperor was furious when he learned of this, and reprimanded the fifth princess, warning her that if she was restless again, he would throw her to serve her mother in the still water hermitage.
Hearing that she would be sent back to Jingshui Nunnery and drink with the stinking Su Guifei, the fifth princess was frightened, and hurriedly said that she would never dare to do it in the future, but she still sued in front of the emperor, saying that Shen Qingyi did not treat her as a wife at all.
Shen Qingyi didn't defend much, just lowered his head to listen to the training, and then was fined for a few months, and the matter was over.
The fifth princess was angry, but when she thought of the emperor's words, she couldn't make trouble as she wanted, but she was still made to jump in the Shen Mansion.
Mother Shen saw the true face of the fifth princess, and she regretted it in her heart.
However, this family affair is given by the emperor to marry, and the other party is the fifth princess, if the Shen family wants to divorce the fifth princess, it is impossible at all, unless the fifth princess agrees and leaves.
It's just that the fifth princess finally found a family business, how could she let go?
Coupled with her status as a princess, Shen Qingyi can't take a concubine casually, if it weren't for the fact that the Chen Mansion had already passed the emperor's level, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to enter the Shen Mansion.
Mother Shen is going to regret her intestines this time.
She was thinking about climbing high branches at the beginning, and she felt that she would definitely suppress Ji Yanning, so she didn't want others to see the excitement of their Shen Mansion, but she didn't expect to hurt her son like this in the end, but now it is useless to regret it.
The second prince originally wanted to use the fifth princess to get closer to the Shen Mansion, but the fifth princess was not angry, and she was in the same boat as the Shen family, not to mention getting closer, so she almost became an enemy.
The matter of trying to win over the Shen family failed, did Li Xiaoyun have any hope there, the second prince was still suppressed by the Zuo Xiang and the Third Prince's Party from time to time in the court, and he only felt that it was extremely difficult now.
"Your Royal Highness, now that the three princes have risen rapidly, and we are in such a situation with the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, it is better for His Highness to take the initiative to talk to Murong Kai about peace, at least not like this. Sun Moushi said to the second prince.
The second prince listened to the words of the strategist, and only felt a headache.
He said: "Murong Kai is extremely vengeful, we have been fighting with him for so long, how can he negotiate peace? Not to mention that even if this prince looks for him in a low voice, he may not be able to see me. ”
When Murong Yixue died before, he had already admitted that he had missed it once, but Murong Kai didn't want to talk to him at all, so he decided that Murong Yixue's death was his doing.
Although Zuo Xiang does not stand in line, his approach is equivalent to standing on the side of the three princes. Sun Moushi sighed, "If this continues, it will be more and more unfavorable to us." ”
How could the second prince not know this truth.
His good third brother has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, even if he has become mute in the past few years, he still hasn't given up, but he has a thorough understanding of the things in the court, and he doesn't know when his poison was solved, but he chose a good time to announce it.
If the fourth child is still there, they can still join forces to suppress the third child, but now he is the only one, and even the mother concubine has been calculated.
Now his best way is probably to assassinate Rong Qi.
"That's it, let's disperse. The second prince thought a little tired, waved his hand, and let everyone leave.
Several of the strategists looked at each other and got up to leave.
The entire attic fell silent for a while, and only the second prince was left sitting alone.
As the night deepened, the starry sky above him became brighter and brighter, and the moonlight fell on the attic, reflecting his lonely shadow.
Thinking about everything about himself and Rong Qi, he felt more and more unfair.
It seems that even God is favoring Rong Qi.
His biological mother is the queen, so he is a legitimate son-in-law, and he always has many people around him to help, even if he doesn't fight or grab, there are still many people who want to work for him.
What he has at his fingertips is something that he needs to calculate for a long time to be able to obtain, which is really unfair.
Thinking of this, Rong Yu's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he couldn't wait to get rid of Rong Qi now.
He stood up, walked out of the corridor, put his hand on the railing, and looked at Chang'an City at night, feeling a little emotional.
"Whoa—"
In the quiet night sky, there was a sudden whistling sound that pierced the air, and before Rong Yu could react, the guards next to him had already pounced.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The Dark Guard stepped forward and pushed Rong Yu away, but his reaction was a little slow, and the arrow cut through the Dark Guard's clothes at once, stabbing a bloody mark on his shoulder.
"There are assassins!" Seeing this movement, the surrounding guards immediately shouted, "Protect Your Highness!"
The guards in the prince's mansion all surrounded at once, protected Rong Yu, and then sent people to investigate in the direction where the arrows came from.
I saw a dark shadow flickering not far away, and suddenly disappeared.
By the time the guards chased after them, they had already fled.
"Is Your Highness alright?" the butler hurried to the attic and asked with concern.
Rong Yu's face was as heavy as ink, and he said, "Don't worry, this prince's life is very big." ”
The butler said, "The old slave has already asked people to track down the whereabouts of the assassins. ”
Rong Yu said with heavy eyes: "Do you still need to check? Who else can there be besides the third child!"
Just now he was still thinking about getting rid of his third brother Rong Qi, but he didn't expect it to be his own brother, so he thought of going together, and he was the first to attack.
I'm afraid that if I do it myself, Rong Qi will be prepared.
When the housekeeper heard Rong Qi say this, he was speechless for a while, he got up and picked up the arrow from the ground, and saw that the sharp arrow still had a little blood on it.
This arrow looks ordinary, although it is indeed much sharper than ordinary arrows, but it is not an official product.
"Don't touch it, butler, it's poisonous!" said a sharp-eyed guard.
When Rong Yu heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked at the secret guard who was blocking the arrow for him just now, and immediately said, "Doctor Chuanfu!"
The guard was only shot in the arm, making a small cut, but now that the wound had begun to turn black, he knew that he had been poisoned.
There was a lot of cold sweat on the dark guard's forehead, but he kept gritting his teeth and insisting, and when the house doctor came, he took his pulse, just shook his head and said: "This is highly poisonous, the old man can't do anything, unless he breaks his arm, otherwise the poison in his body will spread to the whole body within three hours, and it will really be hopeless at that time." ”
Hearing the words of the house doctor, Rong Yu's face became even more ugly.
If the arrow just hit him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When the secret guard heard the words of the palace doctor, his eyes were extremely deep, and he pondered for a moment, picked up the sword in his hand, and directly swung the sword to break his left arm.
All of a sudden, blood splattered, which made people feel a little panicked.
But in order to save his life, he had no choice.
Rong Yu saw all this in his eyes, and he said to the secret guard: "You blocked the life of this prince, this prince will not treat you badly, you are so good to recuperate." ”
The Dark Guard bowed his head and did not speak.
Although the second prince said that he would not treat him badly, he knew very well that he would become a waste person from now on and would not appear in front of the second prince again.
Rong Yu explained to the housekeeper to deal with the matter, and then returned to his yard angrily.
When the strategists heard that the second prince had been assassinated, the people who had already gone back rushed over again.
Although everyone thinks that it was the poison of the three princes, but now that there is no evidence, and the assassins have escaped, with only their mouths, how could the emperor believe that all this was done by the three princes?
And with this time, who knows if there will be a next time.
This time he lost a powerful secret guard, and Rong Yu was already dissatisfied, but he couldn't bear it.
