Chapter 428: Extinguishing the Mouth
Seeing that the man in black turned around and jumped a few times and then disappeared into the night, Lin Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, she had just brushed shoulders with death, and at this time she felt that her legs were weak, and the whole person collapsed to the ground weakly.
The maidservants who served Lin Kite hurriedly helped her back to the dormitory, and then called the imperial doctor to treat her.
"Doctor Tai, is Miss Lin in trouble?" A leading maidservant girl asked, if something happened to Lin Kite, their heads would be lost.
"Miss Lin was just frightened, and it is normal to be dragged down for a while when she is emotional, and it will be okay to have a good rest at night."
The imperial doctor knew that Lin Yuan was the person on the tip of the new emperor's heart, and he naturally did not dare to slack off on her condition, so he said very carefully after taking Lin Yuan's pulse, and then carefully told the palace maid standing beside him to take good care of Lin Yuan at night, and then turned around and left.
The new emperor has been sending people to pay close attention to Lin Kite's movements here, and at this time, the imperial doctor tossed late at night, and the news of Lin Kite's assassination and fright soon reached the ears of the new emperor.
"Miss Lin was assassinated?" Hearing the news, the new emperor hurried overnight, he strode into the dormitory, and saw Lin Yuan lying on the soft couch, her face was pale and haggard, and she looked a little embarrassed.
Thinking that Lin Yuan was already asleep, the new emperor slowly walked out of the inner room, and at this time, the guards who were in charge of patrolling the vicinity knelt on the ground outside the hall.
"I deliberately explained before that Miss Lin had to strengthen patrols and garrisons here, why did such a thing happen? How are you all bad, all of you are wine bags and rice bags! ”
The new emperor paced back and forth in front of the palace, and in his anger he rebuked, and the guards kneeling below were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.
"And you, how to take care of the people!" Looking at the forbidden guards kneeling on the ground, the new emperor felt a headache, and he turned his attention to the palace maids serving beside Lin Yuan.
"Your Majesty, Miss Lin has never liked people to follow, today's facts are an accident, and the slaves and maids will definitely take care of Miss Lin every step in the future." The maidservant girl at the head hurriedly knelt down and defended, and then promised to take care of Lin Kite and not let her have an accident again.
The new emperor's eyes breathed fire, if it weren't for the fact that they were the people who had been serving Lin Yuan for a long time, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and ordered them all to be killed.
"Everyone here will be fined for half a year, you have to thank Kite for being okay, otherwise I will let all of you bury her."
Considering that Lin Kite was still resting in the dormitory, the new emperor was reluctant to kill, he tried to calm the anger in his heart, and then spoke.
After listening to the new emperor's words, the people kneeling below quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Spread my word to thoroughly investigate the assassination of Miss Lin, even if I have searched the entire Forbidden City, I must find out the assassin."
This happened suddenly, and the new emperor expected that the assassin might be from the harem, maybe he was hiding in some palace now, the new emperor ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After everyone received the order, they withdrew one by one, and the new emperor walked back to the inner room of the dormitory, looked at the sleeping Lin Kite with gentle eyes, and then carefully tucked the quilt for her, and then reluctantly left here.
The next day, the news of Lin Kite's assassination spread throughout the harem, and the royal forest soldiers searched for the assassin's traces in various palace rooms, and they searched very carefully, even the corners and corners were not spared, and Concubine Jiang was worried after learning about this.
That stupid thing, even a helpless pregnant woman couldn't get rid of her, but left a mess, and now the emperor has ordered people to find the assassin with all his might, I'm afraid he will soon find out where he is.
After thinking about it, only the dead could keep it a secret, decided to get rid of the assassin, and after nightfall, Jiang summoned the assassin again.
"What did you do, not only did you fail to kill that little slut, but it caused this palace to be almost exposed!" Looking at the assassin, Concubine Jiang couldn't help but reprimand.
"Niangniang, the little one didn't expect the woman to cheat, last night she said that the emperor was there, I was frightened and retreated, begging the mother to help the little one."
The Assassin defended himself by saying that he was now terrified by the entire harem of the Guards.
"Okay, okay, you are my man, if you are caught, won't I also suffer, you take these silver taels and run out at midnight when the guards change the guard, and never come back." Concubine Jiang looked at the assassin and said, then handed a package to the assassin.
The assassin opened the package, and inside was a stack of silver tickets, which were large enough to live for the rest of his life, and in addition to the silver tickets, there were also some pastries and dry food in it.
The man had been hiding in a corner all day, and had not eaten for a day and a night to avoid being searched by the Imperial Guards, and when he saw the pastry, he felt a little hungry, so he couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in his mouth.
The smell of the chef's pastry filled the Assassin's mouth, but before he could finish it, he staggered to the ground, blood gushing out of his mouth.
"You ......"
Before the Assassin could say anything, he closed his eyes and fell unconscious.
The next day, the body of the Assassin was found in the well of the Imperial Garden, where the Imperial Guards rushed to the area, the Assassin's body was soaked and white, and he was not only dead, but he died cleanly, leaving not a trace of useful clues.
The Imperial Forest Army reluctantly reported the matter to the new emperor, and when he heard this result, a dark color flashed in the eyes of the new emperor, but the only clue was broken with the death of the assassin, and the case had to be closed.
At noon, the new emperor came to visit Lin Yuan after finishing his official affairs.
"Kite, are you feeling better?" Looking at Lin Kite's still somewhat pale cheeks, the new emperor asked with concern.
"Much better, the emperor, I heard that the person who assassinated me has been found?"
Lin Yuan also heard the news that the assassin had been found, and when she saw that the new emperor had come to see her, she thought that she had an eyebrow about it, so she spoke.
"Kite, the assassin was dead when he was found, and he was salvaged from the well, and there is no evidence of it, but you can rest assured, although I have not found this assassin, I will definitely protect you in the future and never let anyone hurt you again."
Hearing Lin Kite's question, the new emperor felt a little guilty, it was he who didn't protect Lin Kite, looking at Lin Kite's disappointed appearance, he opened his mouth to comfort.
The emotions of pregnant people have a great impact on the body, and the new emperor doesn't want Lin Kite to become weaker and weaker because of fear.
"Thank you." Lin Kite's heart is not made of stone, although she can't fall in love with the new emperor in front of her, but for the care he gave her, she is very grateful in her heart, looking at the new emperor's face, Lin Yuan said sincerely.
"Don't be polite to me."
In the afternoon, after the new emperor left Lin Yuan's place, Concubine Jiang came to him.
"Your Majesty, what's going on with Miss Lin, the concubine heard the news of her assassination yesterday, and she was really scared half to death."
Concubine Jiang walked to the imperial study with a loquat jade soup, she first put the bowl in her hand in front of the new emperor's desk, and then saluted him and said with concern.
"Miss Lin is fine, Concubine Ai doesn't have to worry."
The new emperor glanced at Concubine Jiang, and he didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd when she came to see her at this time.
"Miss Lin is fine, I heard that the emperor was very angry about this matter, and the concubine specially stewed loquat jade soup for you to moisten and remove the fire."
Concubine Jiang stepped forward gracefully, and then took the initiative to lean into the arms of the new emperor, and gently took off the lid on the loquat jade soup in front of the desk, and the aroma of food suddenly filled the imperial study, which made people smell the index finger.
"I'm just a little hungry, and I like your craft the most." The new emperor picked up the ancient porcelain spoon, scooped a spoonful from the dish, and said after bringing it to his mouth.
"Your Majesty, if you like it, speaking of which, this is still handed over to the concubine by the concubine's mother, when the concubine's father was tired, he preferred his mother's bowl of loquat jade soup." Concubine Jiang took the bowl from the new emperor's hand, and then fed the new emperor a small spoonful by spoon, while saying.
"Your father and mother are deeply envious of others." The new emperor didn't understand why the good Concubine Jiang suddenly mentioned the matter of Shangshu Mansion, he said lightly.
"Speaking of the previous incident, the concubine misses her father and mother a little, your majesty, can the concubine go back to Shangshu Mansion to see it recently?" Concubine Jiang thought about going home to discuss with her father what had happened recently, and she asked.
After listening to Concubine Jiang's words, the new emperor immediately understood Concubine Jiang's intentions, but his face did not show anything, but only responded lightly.
"Your Majesty, you are the best for your concubines." Seeing that the new emperor nodded in agreement, Concubine Jiang said happily.
"You're my favorite concubine." The new emperor's face did not change when he told a lie, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
As the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Jiang's honor guard when she returned to the house was huge, and the group walked through the streets and alleys of the capital and stopped in front of the door of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion.
"Concubine Jiang, you're finally back."
Hube Shangshu stood in front of the door to greet him, he stepped forward and saluted, but was immediately helped up by Concubine Jiang.
"Father, we father and daughter don't have to keep these false etiquette."
In front of the door of the household book, a scene of father and daughter filial piety was staged, which made people move, and the two said a few words with concern before walking to the house.
In the hall of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, Concubine Jiang changed her graceful and luxurious face, and couldn't help crying in front of her father about the grievances she had received since entering the palace.
"Father, you have to make decisions for your daughter." Concubine Jiang cried so much that she watched her father complain.
"At the beginning, my father didn't agree with you to enter the palace, you wanted to go your own way, the harem is a place where jackals, tigers and leopards gather, how can your brain have the upper hand, you can't be favored now to honor the power of our Jiang family, it's really useless!"
At first, Tobe Shangshu would feel distressed when he heard his daughter's complaints and crying, but now that he heard more, he was a little bored, not only did he not say anything to comfort, but said sternly.
