Imperial capital.

General's Palace.

Lin Yunxin was originally reading a book, and subconsciously went to get the teacup on the table, but accidentally knocked the cup to the ground and shattered it on the ground.

Xiangzhu, who rushed to the scene when he heard the sound, was startled, and immediately stepped forward to check: "Madam, are you hurt?" ”

Lin Yunxin shook her head, looked at the torn cup on the ground and pondered for a while, but she couldn't help but make a hexagram about Xu Chunzhi's safety, and the result was - there is no death, there is no danger.

"Whew-" She exhaled heavily, and found that Xiangzhu and Dripstone, who had entered the door at some point, were both looking at her motionlessly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yunxin.

Xiangzhu smiled a little apprehensively: "There's no big problem, is it?" Madam? ”

Lin Yunxin smiled: "Yes, don't worry, the general will definitely come back on time." ”

"Wow! That's great! Xiangzhu and Dishi both cheered.

Dishi immediately blinked his eyes and said, "Then do we have to prepare?" ”

Lin Yunxin: "What to prepare?" ”

Dripstone said loudly: "Prepare to welcome the general back!" For example, clean the yard a few more times, and then arrange some red lanterns and curtains, how festive does it look? ”

Lin Yunxin shook her head and smiled: "Don't be so troublesome, when the pheasant comes back, it is only right to prepare a few more tables of good wine and good food." ”

"Order!" Dishi immediately said, "Other slaves and maids can't do it, it's absolutely no problem to eat and drink!" ”

"You, you know how to eat." Xiangzhu glanced at her, and shrugged his shoulders with a dripping stone, "I'm envious of you, I'm jealous of you, I'm not fat." ”

Lin Yunxin watched the two maids laughing, but the worry in her heart did not decrease.

Survived...... It seems that this Qinshan Heaven Sealing Ceremony is indeed dangerous.

In the palace.

Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother sat on the couch rarely: "The eldest prince fell into the water?" ”

"Yes, I am having a high fever at this time, the queen mother is in a hurry, and she has invited Doctor Liu into the palace, and Kun'an Palace is busy at this time." Four or five aunts said.

"Why did you suddenly fall overboard?" The Queen Mother asked.

"This ...... Originally, the eldest prince had an attendant with him, but the chamberlain was sent by the eldest prince to hold the ball for him, but one did not pay attention, and when he turned around, he found that a palace maid pushed His Royal Highness into the lake. ”

"Is it Fu Guifei's palace maid?" The Queen Mother snorted.

“…… Precisely. The fourth or fifth aunt bowed her head and said.

"It's a good trick to kill two birds with one stone. This queen is also useless, the things in her pot are pasted like this, and she thinks about stirring up the wind and rain outside all day long, and now she is in the fryer, but she has no time to play. The Queen Mother said with a cold face.

"I heard that the queen mother cried into tears, if it wasn't for the palace grandmother to stop her, she would have to punish the concubine Fu for kneeling." Four or five aunts said.

"Huh, she still has a face? One or two are not worrying. The Queen Mother paused slightly, "The mourning family still underestimated this Concubine Ning, a former dynasty secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who has such ability?" ”

It is not surprising that the family has always had their own shadows arranged in the palace for many years, but the identities of the people in the palace have undergone multiple screenings, and it is normal to have some shadows occasionally, but the right to run the harem is still in the hands of the queen, Concubine Ning has no palace power, and it is not easy to arrange people to Fu Guifei's side.

Unless...... There are female officials or eunuchs in the palace, who are the response of Concubine Ning.

The Queen Mother's words directly condemned Concubine Ning, although there is no evidence, but the fourth or fifth aunt does not doubt the judgment of the Queen Mother, because there have been countless "guessing" activities in the past, they have never won the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has the ability to find out the truth at a glance in the complicated and fragmented clues, which is convincing.

"It's a pity that the grandson of the mourning family, this body has been tossed several times, and I am afraid that I will fall into the root of the disease and will not be able to raise it back...... That's it, send a bunch of newly paid grapes from the Western Regions to Kun'an Palace, and tell the queen to remember to eat it, and her body should be tight. The Queen Mother said.

Kun'an Palace.

At this time, the palace was gloomy, and Queen Wang was finally persuaded by her personal palace maid to not trouble Fu Guifei, but she heard Fu Guifei herself so frightened that she ran to confess her guilt and shout wrong.

In the end, it was the queen, after thinking about how powerful it was, and knowing that they might have fallen into someone else's plan to kill two birds with one stone, Queen Wang said that she couldn't make the enemy too happy, so she comforted her with kind words and kind words, and also let Fu Guifei rest assured that she would give birth, this matter must be greasy, and she, as the master of the harem, will definitely find out Bai Yunyun.

The queen almost fainted with anger, frightened the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and when she recovered her breath, she threw down her son's bedroom and cried, which made Liu Xiangquan overwhelmed, but first gave the queen a few injections, and prescribed a decoction to calm the nerves, and asked the palace maids to decoction for her.

Just as the queen was drinking the medicine, the palace maid immediately reported: "Niangniang, the four or five aunts in the queen mother's palace are here." ”

"Oh? Ask her in. Queen Wang said.

"Slave maid see queen mother." The four or five aunts saluted meticulously.

"Aunt Four or Five doesn't have to be polite." Queen Wang smiled and said, "But what does the Queen Mother command?" ”

"The Queen Mother instructed the slave maid to send you grapes from the Western Regions into the palace, and advised you not to be too sad, you are the master of the harem, the body of a daughter, and you should also pay attention to your body." After passing on the queen mother's meaning, the fourth and fifth aunts declined the queen's invitation to stay for tea and left.

The queen was stunned in place, and suddenly sighed: "Grape ...... Fertility and Blessings...... The queen mother is asking the palace to add a few more heirs to the emperor, then my Cheng'er ......" tears broke free from her eyes, even if she is the most noble woman in the world, she is still a mother who loves her children.

It's because she's so incompetent, which is why she hasn't protected her children again and again.

No, she will never do that in the future!

The queen mother means that the heir is the most important woman in this palace, without the heir, she will have nowhere to rely on, if something really happens to her emperor, the happiest is naturally Concubine Ning!

Concubine Ning......

Yes, she thought about it before, and always wanted to help her emperor, but in fact, if she can't grow up safely, what's the use of helping?!

Hmph, Concubine Ning's child is only two years old now, and her royal son has suffered so much, does Concubine Ning's son still want to be alone? Dream!

Does Concubine Ning really think that Fu Guifei was convicted because of this, even if she gave birth to a son, she would be the son of a sinner girl, and she couldn't make big waves, but she didn't forget, Lu Zhaoyi was still with the Queen Mother, even if Lu Zhaoyi's father was low, but who knew about this kind of thing?

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, let's see!

Two days later.

A thousand miles of urgent urgent letters were sent to the imperial capital, and the eldest princess was shocked when she learned the news of the emperor's assassination in Qinshan Tongtiantai.

The wind is surging, the undercurrent is surging, the eldest prince has a high fever and is in danger, and the second prince is a two-year-old child, this news only said that he was assassinated, but he did not say what the result was, and for a while the people in the imperial capital were panicked.

The moment the eldest princess received this urgent letter, she understood the emperor's intentions, after all, they were sisters and brothers who had cooperated for many years, so she announced the letter intact.

Sure enough, the reactions of the ministers varied, and some of them even mentioned the idea of establishing a prince on the spot. And the eldest prince happened to fall into the water at such a time, and the high fever did not go away, which could not help but make people think more.

Theoretically, the emperor was not in the imperial capital, but if there was any problem, it was best to keep it a secret, so as not to cause chaos in Gyeonggi, but the emperor did the opposite, in order to lead to the bane of the court.

He was tired of the repeated "unearthing" of the rebels, and even if there was a potential danger in doing so, it was better to have a long pain than a short one.

As for his safety, since the emperor was able to send this letter, he naturally had no worries. The courtiers may not have thought of it, but the eldest princess was very convinced. The only thing that worried the eldest princess was the information sent through Teng Guiwei, saying that Xu Chunzhi and the little marquis were missing for the time being.

After deliberately not showing her attitude and letting the court become a pot of porridge, the eldest princess couldn't help but feel worried, but since Chengxin may be with Chunzhi, maybe he can still survive in a desperate situation......

The news from Teng Guiwei was much more detailed than that from the Emperor, briefly describing what had happened on the Tongtiantai, and she knew how dangerous the situation was at that time, and it would be difficult to survive in such a situation.

But Xu Chunzhi has never disappointed them, how many desperate situations have he been in the past, and he didn't succeed in the end?

So this time, it will be like that.

It has to be......

The eldest princess looked at the floating clouds floating in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, the news of the emperor's assassination also reached Empress Wang, Concubine Ning, and the Empress Dowager.

In this regard, the Queen Mother said: "Dead or not? If you don't say you're dead, you're not dead, so you don't need to care. The palace people looked at each other, I am afraid that they have never seen a mother who can be so calm when she hears that her son has an accident.

Empress Wang is another heavy blow, at this critical moment the emperor was assassinated, and her son is not known whether he is alive or dead, if something goes wrong, the new throne will not fall ......

The queen didn't care too much, so she summoned her brother overnight to discuss with her.

Concubine Ning was a little uncertain, but early the next morning, someone in the court had already proposed the establishment of the crown prince, but all of them were pressed down by the eldest princess, and the palace guards suddenly increased, and the general Yuan Huanliang even lived in the camp, forming a great deterrent.

When the courtiers saw that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was holding a talisman in her hand, she naturally did not dare to move, and a possible fluctuation was suppressed invisibly.

At the foot of Mount Qin.

The emperor camped and stayed for two days, and did not drive back to the imperial capital at the first time, first, there was an assassination incident on the rooftop, it should not be too impatient, easy to make mistakes, and second, he also wanted to wait for the results of the search mountain.

He gave himself two days to wait, but fortunately, in the afternoon of the next day, Xu Chunzhi took Mu Chengxin back to the camp, although he was injured, but he was in good spirits, and Mu Chengxin was also slightly injured, but it was fine.

The emperor's heart suddenly fell back into his stomach, and it would be a pity if his god of war fell in such a place. Mu Chengxin is fine, he can also give an explanation to the imperial sister.

Not only Xu Chunzhi and Mu Chengxin were alive, but in the process of searching the mountain, they also found Qin Yanqi who had a broken leg, Yuan Huanchen, who had blown up his arm and had a blurred flesh and blood, and Han Qiliang, the new champion who was slightly injured.

In addition, there are a small number of Black Flame Army and Long Mingwei, all of whom chose to jump off the cliff when they exploded and found them under the cliff, most of them were disabled, but there were also a few people with excellent kung fu and mountaineering and rock climbing weapons, but they were only slightly injured.

This result has greatly comforted the emperor, after all, the mighty team went to Qinshan to seal the sky, but the result was to blow up the rooftop, which is a little unreasonable, if the famous generals under his command are really lost here, then it is really ruined and the intestines are green.

"It's good to come back, and everyone who should recuperate should go and recuperate." The emperor had a thousand words in his heart, but he still didn't say a word, just patted Xu Chunzhi and Mu Chengxin's arms and told them to rest.

Xu Chunzhi came out of the emperor's tent, and his subordinates came to report the casualties in the army, and only 30% of the 100 Teng Turtle Guards remained, although Xu Chunzhi was heartbroken, but he was helpless.

These Teng Turtle Guards are his personal guards, each of them is a master in good hands, and everyone is absolutely loyal, as long as it is his order, even if they are asked to draw their swords and kill themselves on the spot, they will do it without saying a word.

Usually he would not use it easily, Xu Chunzhi said in a deep voice: "Bury them well, if you can't find the corpse, just make a clothed grave." ”

"Yes." The Teng Turtle Guard who reported did not leave, but looked at Xu Chun again, Xu Chunzhi waved his hand and let the others go down, and the Teng Turtle Guard said in a low voice, "My lord, the last explosive signal flare was put by Lord Han, and his subordinates saw it with their own eyes." ”

Long before going to Qinshan, Xu Chunzhi had discussed with Lin Yunxin who should pay the most attention to on the road this time, and finally Lin Yunxin suggested a very bold and ridiculous "one person staring at one person" tactic.

Take absolutely loyal and powerful people, and target all those who cannot be ruled out of suspicion, each with different goals, and do not know each other's goals, or even other people's tasks, so as to prevent them from being exploited.

Only by treating everyone as an "enemy" will the real enemy not be missed.

But one of the biggest drawbacks of this is that when the stalker dies, it is difficult to send back effective information. It can be assumed that the death of the stalker also greatly increases the threat and possibility of the target, and it will be designated as a key target in the future.

Now it seems that the god of luck is undoubtedly on their side.

"New to the top? …… Oh, what a lot of people...... Let's go down. ”

Xu Chunzhi suddenly remembered that Han Qiliang had always refused to leave the emperor's side at that time, probably not to show his loyalty to the guard, but to ...... He is the real killer move, the key to assassinating the emperor!

Others, it's just a trick.

Now, the enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark.
