When Lan Beichen personally escorted Xiao Yuanbai into the palace to see Emperor Yuanqing......

Everything looked the same as usual, when entering the palace, the guards on duty were respectful, and they didn't even look at Lan Beichen's waist card, and they were directly released: "Nine Princes, please!" ”

The guards also saw the suspect who was sent to escort Lan Beichen behind him, isn't this Xiao Yuanbai, the prince of the Marquis of Huining, who has been missing for a long time? was actually caught, worthy of the Nine Princes, and now he has made meritorious service again!

After entering the palace, Lan Beichen went straight to Emperor Yuanqing's bedroom, today Mu Xiu, everyone doesn't need to go to the morning court, it's still early at this time, the emperor should just get up, and he is probably having breakfast.

Xiao Yuan's white face was like ashes, he was bound by five flowers, and there were six guards staring at him behind him, where did he run away?

When he arrived at Zichen Palace, Lan Beichen asked people to go in to report, and Gonggong Lu came out immediately.

"Why did the Ninth Prince enter the palace early in the morning?" As soon as he finished speaking, he already recognized Xiao Yuanbai as soon as he saw this posture, and he didn't need Lan Beichen to say that he knew it.

"Later, the ninth prince, the miscellaneous family went to report to the emperor, and the emperor just got up." Grandpa Lu hurriedly entered.

After waiting for a while, Father-in-law Lu came out in a hurry, saying that the emperor invited Lan Beichen in.

Glancing at Xiao Yuanbai behind him, Lan Beichen said, "Look at him!" After speaking, he entered the Zichen Hall and met Emperor Yuanqing.

Only then did Gonggong Lu glance at Xiao Yuanbai, who was crying and mourning, it seemed that the case of the Marquis of Huining Mansion was finally going to be completely over.

At this moment, a little eunuch came from the side, and hurriedly walked towards Father-in-law Lu, looking around, as if something was wrong. Gonggong Lu frowned, stared at him and said displeasedly: "Which palace are you, dare to mess ...... it?"

Suddenly, the little eunuch pulled out a dagger, startling Grandpa Lu.

"You ......"

Before he could finish shouting, the little eunuch had a fierce look in his eyes and rushed towards Xiao Yuanbai not far away. Several guards were caught off guard and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, he had already stabbed Xiao Yuanbai into the heart.

……

In Jinghe Garden, thick smoke billowed out, and everyone was alarmed.

There were more than a dozen people who were affected by the explosion and escaped in time due to burns. These guards were lying on the ground, moaning in pain, Xia Jinse couldn't be busy alone, and he had already asked people to go to Tong'an Hall to ask the imperial doctor to come over.

The things in the secret room can't be rescued anymore, and now the important thing is to save people!

Soon, Xiao Yuanju came with two imperial doctors, and when he saw this situation, he was also shocked and inexplicable. Fortunately, several people were doctors who had seen a big scene, and they soon began to treat everyone, and there was no shortage of all kinds of burn medicines and healing medicines. With the exception of one of the guards, who was hit in the head by a falling rock, was seriously injured and unconscious, the others looked badly injured, but not life-threatening.

Soon, the casualty statistics also came out, twelve people who were injured and rescued, and two who died on the spot. But there are more than 20 missing, and I am afraid that all of them will collapse due to the explosion and be buried directly in the ground.

Xia Jinse was so angry that he couldn't wait to take a knife directly and rush to the next door to kill Lan Jingcheng!

It's a pity that she doesn't know martial arts, except for being angry, there is no evidence, and she can't take Lan Jingcheng at all. It's been almost an hour since the accident, and there's no movement next door

, as you can imagine, the attitude has been laid out.

I did it, but what do you do with me?

Xia Jinse didn't have time to do senseless complaints and regrets, and the top priority was to send someone to inform Lan Beichen and treat these injured people.

Fortunately, with the help of Xiao Yuanju and others, Xia Jinse's medicine was enough, and the situation was finally stabilized.

After a while, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion also received a report from the surrounding people, and heard that Jingheyuan was on fire, so they came with a fire brigade. More than a dozen officials carried water wheels made of bamboo poles and water tanks full of water to the rescue.

The newly appointed Jingzhao Yin Jiang Chengye came in person, and as soon as he saw Xia Jinse, he said: "Miss Xia, this official heard that Jingheyuan is running water, so he specially brought a fire brigade, can the fire be suppressed now?" ”

"Thank you, Lord Jiang, the fire has been controlled, thank you so much for bothering Lord Jiang to make a trip." Xia Jinse knew that this Jing Zhaoyin was newly appointed, and Lan Beichen told her that he was a good official, and he was specially transferred from Shudu to Beijing, so he was extremely polite to him.

It's just that the situation of this secret passage can't be spread for the time being, although there is still some fire, but the guards in the house are enough.

Jiang Chengye asked a few more words, although he saw that there was still thick smoke in the sky, but since Xia Jinse said that he didn't need it, he gave up and went back with someone.

Xia Jinse personally sent Jiang Chengye out, and when he walked to the door, he saw Xia Ruxue getting off the carriage.

Seeing the mess around her, as well as the firefighting officials, Xia Ruxue was secretly happy, but she pretended to be surprised and worried, and walked over and said, "Big sister, what's the matter, Jingheyuan...... Didn't it catch fire? ”

When Jiang Chengye heard this, he hurriedly saluted Xia Ruxue: "I have seen the eldest princess, and the lower officials are here for this, but Miss Xia said that the fire has been controlled, which is really lucky." ”

A gleam flashed in her eyes, and Xia Ruxue said gently: "There is Lord Lao Jiang who has come here, and Concubine Ben thanks Lord Jiang for the eldest sister." ”

"Don't dare to be." Jiang Chengye hurriedly returned the salute, "Since it's okay, then the lower official will take someone back." ”

After all the people in Jingzhao Mansion left, Xia Ruxue stood at the gate of Jinghe Garden, looking at the mess inside, and was about to go inside: "Big sister, where is it burning, no one is hurt, right?" Why did I come here just now, but something happened in a blink of an eye, do you want me to let someone from the house come over to help? ”

Xia Jinse stepped forward in two steps, blocked in front of her, and said with a straight face: "Thank you big sister for your concern, no need." The fire just now was deliberately caused by someone, first using explosives and then fire oil, deliberately destroying our Jinghe Garden, and also causing more than 10 casualties! ”

"What, someone did it on purpose? So many dead and wounded? ”

Xia Ruxue seemed to be startled, covered her mouth and lost her voice, her face was full of shock, "Who is it!" Who is so bold as to dare to come to Jingheyuan to make trouble? Oh no, next door is the Great Prince's Mansion, shouldn't it be that person...... It was for the eldest prince, but he accidentally injured the eldest sister? ”

Seeing that she pretended to be surprised and scared, Xia Jinse said word by word: "No matter who did it, does the big sister still think he can run away?" Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and it won't take long

and the truth will be revealed! ”

Startled by Xia Jinse's fierce eyes, Xia Ruxue took a step back, and suddenly reacted again, unwilling to be pressed by her momentum, she took a deep breath and said: "Yes, I believe that Jingzhao Mansion will definitely investigate the truth, big sister rest assured." ”

"Of course I'm relieved!"

Xia Jinse sneered: "Dare to burn my Jingheyuan, no matter who he is, I will let him pay for these dead people!" There is a wrong, there is a debtor, and those who die in vain today will become unjust souls, and they will go to the person who started it in the middle of the night to take revenge. ”

suddenly became gloomy in tone, and Xia Ruxue's heart jumped when she heard it.

She covered her heart, and seemed to be a little cold: "Big sister, why are you looking at me like this?" I didn't do it......"

"I didn't say that you did it, weren't you in the Prime Minister's Mansion just now, how could it be that you did it, what are you lacking in?" Xia Jinse stared at Xia Ruxue coldly, "I still have to deal with things, so I won't accompany my second sister." ”

Finally raised her lips, Xia Ruxue said, "Then the big sister should hurry up." ”

After saying that, as soon as she turned around, there was an irrepressible smile on her face.

It seems that the people of the Great Prince really succeeded, and sure enough, they destroyed the secret room, and everything was burned by the fire! The evidence is completely annihilated underground, and no one can pose a threat to the eldest prince anymore, which is great! Just wait for the other side to kill the witness, and everything will be worry-free!

Suddenly, a dense sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Xia Ruxue was startled, and saw a team of heavily armed forbidden troops rushing towards this side, with that menacing appearance, her heart sank when she saw it, how could it be the forbidden army in the palace? Could it be that something happened again?

Xia Jinse also heard the movement outside and rushed out to check.

A group of men galloped wildly, and the first horse was about to rush to the door, when the knight suddenly grabbed the reins. The horse's front hooves were raised, and a long neighing voice made the frightened Xia Ruxue almost unsteady on her feet, and hurriedly grabbed the maid beside her.

"Miss Xia, the Nine Princes sent a lowly post to pick you up into the palace, there is something urgent!" The commander of the forbidden army turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fist towards Xia Jinse and said, "The palace car has come, Miss Xia, please get in the car." After speaking, he also showed Lan Beichen's waist card to prove himself.

After confirming that the other party was indeed sent by Lan Beichen, Xia Jinse's first reaction was, what happened in the palace?

She suddenly thought of Xiao Yuanbai, did the eldest prince also send someone into the palace and secretly attack the witness?

She can't wait to check it out right away, but the scenery and the garden are still in chaos, if she leaves at this time, wouldn't it give the people next door a chance to take advantage of? What if something happens again?

As if seeing Xia Jinse's concern, the commander of the forbidden army said again: "Miss Xia, don't worry, the Ninth Prince already knows that something happened to Jingheyuan, but he has important matters and can't get out, so he specially sent fifty forbidden troops to Jingheyuan to protect him." ”

The forbidden troops behind him had all dismounted and saluted Xia Jinse.

"That's great! Chasing the clouds, the matter of Jingheyuan will be arranged by you and Broken Star, you must guard your home, no more accidents, I will go to the palace. After Xia Jinse finished a few words of advice, he immediately got into the palace car.

One

Beside her, Xia Ruxue's mood went up and down.

The Nine Princes actually came to protect Jingheyuan, and she and the eldest prince wanted to take advantage of the chaos to attack again, but I am afraid it would be impossible. And Xia Jinse was in such a hurry to enter the palace, did the things in the palace become anything?

She wanted to spy on it, but she was worried about revealing the stuffing, and it wasn't until Xia Jinse got into the carriage and left that she put up a stand and stopped the commander of the forbidden army who was about to enter the door.

"See the Grand Princess." The commander of the forbidden army saluted her, but did not say nonsense: "I am lowly and orderly, and I still have important things to do, so I won't waste time." ”

"Wait, you just said that something happened in the palace, what happened to you, so anxious?" Xia Ruxue's eyes raised, pretending to be arrogant.

The commander of the forbidden army turned pale and said: "The eldest princess, this is a secret, no one is allowed to spy on it, and there is no way to give advice on his humble position, so he will leave." After speaking, he waved his hand, and fifty forbidden soldiers behind him followed him and entered Jinghe Garden.

Then there was a thud, and even the door was closed.

Xia Ruxue touched a solid nail, angry and hateful, but she had no choice but to turn around and go home.

The palace car was in a hurry all the way, Xia Jinse was worried, and when she hurried to the palace gate, sure enough, there were already Lan Beichen's people guarding there. A sedan chair directly connected her to the palace, without delaying a little, and also made Xia Jinse feel the seriousness of the matter more and more.

When she arrived at Zichen Hall and saw Lan Beichen, she finally confirmed that it was Xiao Yuanbai who was assassinated!

"He's dead?" Xia Jinse took Lan Beichen's hand.

Lan Beichen took Xia Jinse by the hand and told him what he had just done as he walked. The little eunuch who stabbed Xiao Yuanbai was caught red-handed, but he immediately bit his tongue and committed suicide, leaving no clues. Fortunately, the guards stopped it quickly, and Xiao Yuanbai was only stabbed once.

He said, "If you die, you don't have to be in such a hurry to come!" ”
