Chapter 52: Candle Tears (30)
The emperor was assassinated in Suzhou, and Yu Zhaoyi was killed, shocking the whole country. Sheng Jing quickly sent Qin to Suzhou to investigate the matter, and the people of Suzhou were panicked for a while, fearing that they would suffer.
Originally, the journey from Suzhou to Shengjing would take at least a month, but Gu Xiang ordered to rush at full speed and finally returned to Shengjing within half a month.
Bu Niannian has been sullen since Qing Yu was gone, and Gu Xiang rarely saw a smile on her face. After returning to Shengjing, Yu Zhaoyi's assassination could no longer be hidden, which made Mei Yan, who had been unstable in the fetus, feel angry and directly red.
Gu Xiang couldn't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms, and for a while, everything was piled together, which made him breathless.
The assassin's affairs must be investigated, Mei Yan's fetus must be safe, and Qingyu's funeral must be held in a big way. There is also Bu Niannian, Gu Xiang has a headache every day when he sees her smiling face, and he can't wait to tear off the mask on her face.
Qianyuan Palace
The official flag stood behind the screen and whispered to the people inside: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, and it is said that the assassin's matter has progressed." ”
A moment later, Gu Xiang's dull voice came from behind the screen: "Let him in." ”
The official flag wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor has been calm these days, and the low air pressure around him can freeze to death.
Gu Duan's face was not good, and after the young man took over the crown prince voluntarily or voluntarily, he grew up rapidly. The fifteen-year-old boy's face was childish, and he still shouted that he didn't want to be a prince, but he had already proved to everyone with his actions: I can do a good job as a prince.
"Brother Huang, the assassins are all from a killer organization on the rivers and lakes, Dianjiangtang."
Gu Xiang had only heard a little about the various organizations on the rivers and lakes, and probably knew what kind of organization it was, but he didn't know much about it.
Gu Duan continued: "Dotting your lips, punishing people, there are thousands of things in the world, and there is nothing like deep love. You make me move with a thousand gold, and I am willing to repay this kindness. These words are circulated among the people, to put it bluntly, this is a place to collect money and kill people, and these words are written in a high-sounding manner. Brother Huang, I don't think these people are coming for you. ”
Gu Xiang was thorough: "Qing Yu." ”
Gu Duan nodded, he didn't want to be white, but the truth seemed to be true. Otherwise, how to explain that after Qing Yu's death, the people of Dianjiangtang never appeared again, you must know that Dianjiangtang is a person who never dies to achieve his goal, and since he dares to take on this task, he will definitely complete it.
Chong Qingyu came.
Gu Xiang thought secretly, and for a while, he looked at Gu Duan and asked, "I will send troops to you, and you are somewhat sure that you will end this organization." ”
Gu Xiang's brain circuit was beating too fast, Gu Duan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "I can't be sure." ”
After speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and explained: "The whereabouts of Dianjiangtang are erratic, today in Western Chu, the cloudy day may be in Northern Xia, and the day after tomorrow may appear in Shuzhong." Where can I find him? ”
Gu Xiang is dead, Qing Yu's death is neither yin nor white, people are dead, and if she can't find Dianjiangtang, she will never know who wants to kill her.
Gu Xiang told Bu Niannian about the clues he knew, and Bu Niannian secretly made a decision, Dianjiangtang, I will get this account back from you after all.
Bu Niannian has been in a bad mood recently, and she always feels that her heart is hot, as if something is going to happen.
She was depressed all day long, Gu Xiang was also worried, and it happened that Mei Yan's situation was also good and bad, so he sent Guanqi to Shengjing City to find a juggling team to enter the palace, wanting to change the situation of the two.
When the official flag received the will, he didn't have any feelings, and the emperor hadn't done anything over the years to please Ying Zhaoyi, and no matter how much fuss he made, he should have grown up.
It happened that there was a little eunuch who was stammering himself at that time, and the official banner handed over this fat messenger to him, and personally brought death to himself.
That juggling team fled from Northern Xia, mainly by playing animals to attract people's attention and beg for food in this world.
There is a group of wolves in the juggling team, and their signature show is a pack of wolves howling the moon and dancing to the moon. Of course, the moon is not really the moon, but a ball of pearls hanging high.
Accidents happen unexpectedly, and they will quietly give you hints, but they don't give you time to react.
The wolves have always been domesticated by the head of the juggling team, and that day he received the order to enter the palace to perform to please the girls, and he was eager to let the whole Shengjing know about this honor.
After entering the palace, the smiling faces of the palace people greeted him, and the delicacies in the imperial dining room fascinated him. The drunken man has long lost the ferocity of the wolf training in the past, and his defenseless appearance is like a lost little lamb that has been scattered in the eyes of the wolves who have been oppressed for a long time.
The wolves attacked it, and under the watchful eyes, a bloody picture unfolded. The smell of blood was everywhere, the torn fabric on the ground, and the head of the juggling team was buried in the wolf's mouth. The wolves killed by the guards were scattered on the ground, their gray hair covered with blood, probably their own or the master's.
They were hunted when they were young, and in a long time they were worn out of their wolf nature, and they became timid and obeyed orders. But there are some things that cannot be erased by any external object, and they are things that are engraved in the bones of the mother when she is conceived, which is a yin bead that may be covered with dust. But when given the chance, it manifests itself, and the wolves never admit defeat.
The woman who grew up in Shengjing City has a strong bookish atmosphere, and even speaks softly, where has she ever seen such a bloody scene.
Mei Yan was frightened and had a difficult birth.
Her health has been poor, and she has been lying down most of the time throughout her pregnancy, with poor appetite and physical strength. I couldn't drink ginseng soup, and I couldn't take tonics, and when the pain was extreme, I could hear her painful voice trembling in my throat.
The smell of blood came out of the room, and Bu Niannian felt that he had been able to smell it all the time lately.
Bu Niannian sat quietly, like a marionette, with hollow eyes and no color.
Seeing her so distressed, Gu Xiang held her hand and called her softly: "Nian Nian." ”
Bu Niannian squirmed his lips, and his voice was calm without a trace of emotion: "Ah Xiang, I killed Bu Yuemian and my sister, and now Sister Mei is also in danger because of me." The adult's words are right, it is I who I don't know, and I hurt them. ”
Gu Xiang hugged her and pressed Bu Niannian's head on his shoulder, "No, Niannian, don't think about it, it's not your fault." ”
Bu Niannian didn't speak again, but Gu Xiang felt that she had been trembling slightly.
wow
A baby's cry resounded over the palace, and the old lady ran out excitedly to report the good news to the emperor: "Congratulations to the emperor, it's a princess, the child is very good." ”
"Where's Zhaoyi?"
Bu Niannian looked at the old lady deadly, expecting her to communicate with him, and said that Yu Zhaoyi was also very good.
It's just a pity that the old lady doesn't have this ability, she said: "Back to my mother, Zhaoyi's postpartum blood collapsed, and the imperial doctor is treating it." ”
