Chapter Seventy-Eight: Another Assassination
Night has fallen. Every household in the capital hangs red lights and prepares for the New Year.
A crescent moon hung crookedly in the night sky, and a few stars kept blinking.
There are no more pedestrians on the streets. Luo Feng and the three of them ran on top of the house.
The palace is also lit up all over the place. As soon as the patrolling guards passed, Luo Feng and the three of them walked out of the shadows. They went to Grandpa Xu's house.
Gonggong Xu waited for the queen of heaven in the imperial study. He saw that it was not early, and said softly, "It's time to rest!" ”
The queen of heaven raised her head and felt that her shoulders were sore, so she stopped the red pen in her hand and closed the fold.
As soon as the queen got up, two masked guards walked from under the porch.
"Rest early, too! With them, it should be fine! After speaking, the Queen Mother walked to her bedroom.
Gonggong Xu extinguished the candle and walked out of the imperial study, and the guard at the door closed the door.
Father-in-law Xu was also tired for a day, and when he walked to the door of his house, he didn't see Xiao Caizi come out to greet him.
"This little bunny! Where did you go? Father-in-law Xu muttered and pushed open the door.
"Woo! Woo! Xiao Caizi, who was tied hands and feet and gagged his mouth, was anxious when he saw Gonggong Xu coming in.
"You're finally back! He didn't believe we were here on business! Gu Xiaodong took out the handkerchief that was blocked in Xiao Caizi's mouth.
"Why are you here?" Father-in-law Xu was also taken aback when he suddenly saw Luo Feng and the three of them in his house.
"For the sake of the queen's safety, can we not come?" Gu Xiaodong said quickly.
"The matter of our coming to the palace still needs to be kept secret by official business!" Luo Feng arched his hand.
"It's easy to do! Little Caizi! Go clean up the next room and get the three of them ready for our clothes! If you reveal their bottoms, your head will be gone! Father-in-law Xu sat on the chair and picked up the teacup.
"Hey!" The rope on Xiao Caizi's body has been untied by Gu Xiaodong. He took Luo Feng and the three of them to the next door.
Father-in-law Xu took a sip of tea and spit it out again. The tea is cold! He slammed his teacup down on the table.
"Everyone, wait, I'll go make a pot of tea for Gonggong Xu!" Xiao Caizi heard the sound of teacups next door, and hurriedly saluted Luo Feng and the others.
Luo Feng looked at the room, there were only two beds. Gu Xiaodong sat on the bed on the right and said, "I'll sleep here!" Where you sleep! ”
When Qi Yan heard this, her face turned red instantly. Luo Feng looked at Qi Yan's shy appearance, but he couldn't hold back his joy. When will this Gu Xiaodong grow up?
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Queen of Heaven held a family banquet. Luo Feng and the three of them followed Gonggong Xu into the banquet hall early.
The singing and dancing during the banquet were peaceful, and there was peace and joy. Kang Yuna also performed a sword dance for the queen of heaven and won the reward of the queen.
The queen asked her if she could be married? The crown prince opened his mouth and said, "Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin Lu Nan intends to marry Jiang Yun'er!" ”
"Lu Shaoyin is young and promising, and he is really a good match!" The queen of heaven looked at Jiang Yun'er who was kneeling on the ground.
"The slave just wants to wait by her cousin's side, and she doesn't want to get married!" Jiang Yun'er didn't expect the prince to marry him to Lu Shaoyin, so she was naturally reluctant in her heart.
Of course, the queen of heaven could hear that Jiang Yuna was unwilling to marry Lu Shaoyin. She is also a woman, so she naturally understands her daughter's thoughts, so she didn't force her, but just smiled and made her retreat.
When the crown princess saw Jiang Yun'er rejecting Lu Shaoyin in front of the queen, she was really worried about her.
The crown princess is not good to mention Jiang Yun'er and Luo Feng's family affairs again. She didn't expect the prince to say this, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't attack on such an occasion, so she could only keep a straight face and be silent.
Luo Feng and the others naturally heard their words behind Gonggong Xu. Luo Feng's hanging heart finally let go. Ever since Kang Yuna danced, his heart has been hanging. He knew that this must be the idea of the crown princess, so that he could use this excuse to let the queen of heaven give marriage. But he never thought of killing a prince halfway, and wanted to promise Jiang Yun'er to Lu Nan to solve his crisis.
If the queen of heaven gives marriage, Luo Feng and Qi Yan will inevitably be punished for resisting the decree.
Qi Yan turned her head to look at Luo Feng and found that his forehead was actually sweating, and she was quite puzzled in her heart. Qi Yan couldn't think of any of this at all.
Seeing the Son of Heaven, the Queen of Heaven ordered someone to withdraw the banquet and led everyone to the door to watch the fireworks.
At this time, Luo Feng noticed that in addition to the Ouchi guards, there were two more masked people behind the Queen of Heaven.
The princess asked her maid to give the queen a fox jacket to wear on her body.
Fireworks are lit, fireballs rise, and fireworks shoot out to light up the night sky.
Suddenly, an extremely fast figure kicked the firework that was spraying a skyrocketing fireball towards the diva.
A skinny masked man in black beside the Queen of Heaven pulled the Queen of Heaven away, and the fireball shot into the temple. The screams of the ladies rang out. The scene became chaotic.
Luo Feng and the three of them flew to catch the black shadow. Although the black shadow was extremely fast, it was stopped by the Ouchi guards and Luo Feng.
The black shadow injured six people in a row, and then slammed into Luo Feng with a palm. Luo Feng slapped him, and the black shadow actually jumped onto the roof with the power of Luo Feng's palm.
Because of the large number of people, Qi Yan didn't dare to show her figure, and others couldn't catch up at all.
Although the queen of heaven was frightened, she was still in danger. She ordered that those who attended the banquet tonight be cleared into the prison. The crown prince was not spared, and only the princess remained by her side.
Luo Feng and the three of them came to the side of the Queen of Heaven. The queen of heaven ordered Luo Feng to investigate the people in prison as soon as possible, and he had the right to release those who were not suspected, but if they were wrong, they would be questioned.
Luo Feng and the three of them were ordered to come to the heavenly prison in the capital. Only then did Luo Feng know that the prison in the capital was simply a hell on earth.
He released the prince and his wife and Jiang Yuna first. Then make a book of the rest of the people one by one and take them back to Xiangcha.
When the crown prince and the crown princess were about to leave, Fang held the railing in his hand and cried and called, "Husband! ”
The prince's body paused and stopped. The crown princess turned around and said to the Fang clan, "If it is found that the murderer is from the prince's mansion, we will not be able to get out of it." I'll find a way to get everyone back sooner! ”
Luo Feng noticed that the Han clan, who was locked up with the Fang clan, didn't seem to care about the departure of the crown prince and the crown princess.
After the prince and his wife returned to the mansion, the queen of heaven sent someone to pass on the message: "The prince and his wife and Jiang Yun'er are confined in the mansion until the murderer is caught." ”
On the second day, Luo Feng and his wife, Gu Xiaodong, Mo Yu and Nie Yang began to investigate the people who entered the palace to attend the banquet.
They searched for three days, and there was not a single suspicious person! Luo Feng sat at the stone table in the courtyard in frustration and drank alcohol.
"It's not the right time to drink!" Gu Xiaodong snatched the wine jug from Luo Feng's hand.
"It's really the sun coming out in the west!" Suto walked into the courtyard road.
"Any good news?" Luo Feng knew that Su Tuoding had brought the news.
"Big brother, let me tell you, this matter is about the prince, so you have to be extra cautious!" Suto sat across from Luo Feng.
"What if it's really the Prince's Mansion that did it?" Luo Feng drank all the wine in his glass.
"The prince finally gained the trust of the queen of heaven, and there can be no more mistakes! It's about the country. Even if it is really done by the people of the Prince's Mansion, the prince must be taken out! Suto lowered his voice and whispered.
"Let's catch the murderer first!" Luo Feng was a little drunk, so he seemed careless.
"That's it! Don't know where the murderer is? Gu Xiaodong poured two sips into the mouth of the wine jug.
