Chapter 230: Breaking Branches (22)
With Ling Xiqian's concession, this wedding ceremony went smoothly in the end.
Xi Gu'an was not affected by these fluctuations in the later period, and was sent to the new house as early as after Licheng, and she was bored to sit alone. Fortunately, Ling Xiqian was a very considerate person, so Mu Zhi stayed in the new house to accompany her.
Seeing that the people in the house were gone, Xi Guan lifted the hijab on his head.
Mu Zhi panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't, miss, it's so unlucky." ”
Xi Guan said helplessly: "I haven't eaten for a day, it's always okay to eat something." ”
Mu Zhi was a little hesitant, according to the general rules, he couldn't eat that day, but Mu Zhi has always been a foolish and loyal person, and he has always been big about his own young lady, so he quickly decided to go to the kitchen to find something first.
She went out for a long time and didn't come back, Xi Gu'an gradually became a little anxious, she didn't care about many questions, she lifted the hijab on her head, and wanted to see what was going on, but before she reached the door, she suddenly saw a small hole in the window, and then the first thing like a bamboo pipe was inserted into it.
Her heart sank, and she thought of the dog-blood field thunder dramas she watched.
At this time, the system in the brain shouted fiercely: "Host host, be careful, there is smoke here." ”
That's true. Xi Gu'an hurriedly exchanged a "negative impact removal potion", quietly hid behind the door, and quietly waited for the person who wanted to harm him to appear.
With a "squeak-" sound, the door was quietly pushed open. A man in black looked left and right for a while, and seemed to find that there was no sound, and his heart was happy, and he immediately stepped in lightly.
However, in the next second, his neck ached, and he fainted instantly.
After confirming that the people on the ground were completely silent, Xi Guan breathed a sigh of relief, cautiously walked over and took a look at the other party's snort, and found that he was still alive. She didn't want to kill someone when she was newly married for the first time and bring trouble to Ling Xiqian.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Xi Gu'an was startled, and hurriedly pulled the person lying on the ground, wanting to hide the unconscious "corpse". But apparently, she was just a weak chicken with no hands on her hands, and she was exhausted and out of breath before she could move two steps.
Fortunately, it was a familiar person who came in, Mu Zhi came over with a small porcelain bowl, and was so surprised when he saw this that he almost fell to the ground with the bowl in his hand.
"Miss, what's going on?"
Xi Gu An made a "boo" gesture, looked outside a few times, and then turned his head and whispered: "I just saw this person sneaking around outside the door, and he was still holding a drug, looking a little unruly, so I took this opportunity to knock him unconscious." ”
When Mu Zhi heard that it was so dangerous, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly glanced up and down at Xi Gu'an: "Miss, are you okay, did this person treat you well?" ”
Xi Gu'an shook his head, a little worried: "Now it's time to figure out how to deal with this person." ”
Mu Zhi hesitated for a while: "It's better to wait here for the prince to come back." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a scream from the front yard, followed by a cacophony of noises, and occasionally the cries of children.
Xi Gu'an was startled and wanted to go out to take a look, but was stopped by the guards guarding the door.
"I'm sorry princess, the princess asked me to stay here to protect the princess, in case something happens, there may be something wrong in the front hall now, it's better not to go to the princess."
Obviously, these two guards were guarding here like an impregnable wall, and they had no intention of getting out of the way at all. There was a bit of anxiety in her heart, it was obvious that there were assassins in this backyard, and it was obvious that the situation in the front hall was not so clear, and it was obviously worse than now.
On the other side, above the lobby, pots and pans were thrown to the ground, tables and chairs were overturned, and the floor was in a mess.
Several female dependents fell to the side, their eyes were full of tears, and they all covered their mouths and did not dare to cry. Next to them, several dead men fell to the ground on their backs, blood from the corners of their mouths, and their eyes were full of horror.
On top of the throne, the old emperor sat on the highest seat, looking at this scene with gloomy eyes, surrounded by a few bloody guards with blood on his body, his eyes were full of horror and vigilance Looking around, he was afraid that something would suddenly jump out. 67
Below him, everyone fell to their knees, waiting for the reaction of the person sitting at the top.
The old emperor's face became even more ugly, his eyes were firmly locked on Ling Xiqian, who could not salute because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, and his voice was full of murderous intent.
"Brother Wang, explain it, what's going on?!" At the moment when his fingers were slashed, his eyes were full of anger.
However, Ling Xiqian, who was accused, obviously did not show any panic, his gaze indifferently skimmed over the several corpses on the ground, and he was silent and did not take the initiative to speak.
Being completely ignored by him like this, the old emperor's eyes became even more aggressive, he slapped the table angrily, and his tone suddenly rose: "What kind of attitude do you have, do these killers who suddenly burst out really have nothing to do with you?" ”
Hearing that the emperor was angry, everyone's bodies shrank a little, and they complained in their hearts that this King Ning was simply too good at causing trouble, the emperor was originally a cautious person, and he hated others to disobey him so much, but this Ling Xiqian took all of them all, and pretended to be fine, so that their group of people could endure this monstrous anger!
However, they are just a few smiling officials, and they came to the wedding banquet this time just to not offend His Royal Highness King Ning, but now, they are a little eager to cry without tears - I'm afraid that His Royal Highness King Ning has been offended or not, but they have been hated by His Majesty the Emperor! However, they could only try to shrink their necks, begging that His Majesty the Emperor would not see them clearly, and thus get involved in the dispute between these two bigwigs.
The atmosphere was a little silent and stiff, and in the midst of this silence, a cold voice spoke: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister really doesn't know about this matter, besides, today is the day of my wedding with my beloved woman, and the minister will definitely not destroy this good thing." ”
Although there is no emotion in his eyes, he is extremely sincere, and anyone who sees it can be convinced. To tell the truth, Ling Xiqian's attention and love for Xi Gu'an around him can be seen as long as he is a person. On this happy day, it is a very stupid act to assassinate the other party in front of the old emperor. It's just that......
Thinking of the old emperor's attitude towards King Ning in the past few days, they all chose to continue to wait and see, and did not easily stand in line to help Ling Xiqian speak, otherwise they might even implicate themselves and be detained as a rebellious minister and thief.
The old emperor didn't laugh angrily, his eyes were full of deep meaning: "Then you say, I was assassinated in this incident now, and so many guards died, so I took it so lightly, as if nothing had happened?" This time, if it weren't for my fate, I would have died in this Ning Wangfu, right! ”
He roared, and everyone shouted for His Majesty's joy.
However, it is impossible to stop anger, this time it is obvious that the emperor has made a sufficient plan, in order to completely put this hat on Ling Xiqian's head.
Ordinary people would feel nervous and flustered when they encountered such a situation, but Ling Xiqian didn't have much reaction. He nodded towards the emperor and said, "My minister will thoroughly investigate this matter, and I will definitely give you a reply in three days." ”
The emperor wanted to say something more, when a man suddenly ran in from outside the door, hurriedly whispering something in his ear.
The old emperor was interrupted, and he wanted to be angry, but his face changed suddenly after hearing the words of the visitor. His gaze became extremely dangerous, scanning Ling Xirui and Ling Xiqian, occasionally mixed with this anger, but it obviously suppressed this angry emotion.
He waved away the messenger, closed his eyes a little tiredly, and said to Ling Xiqian in a deep voice: "Nian is the day of your wedding, An An is the most distressed by me, I have seen it since I was a child, and I don't have much to worry about today's affairs for the time being, this is as you wish, give you three days, if you can't find the real murderer after three days, you can come to see me!" ”
As he spoke, he shook his sleeves and left amid the astonished gazes of everyone.
Everyone was a little confused, after all, there was no evidence in this matter, even if the emperor wanted to find something, he couldn't be angry in public.
With this crisis, everyone didn't dare to carry out the next persuasion session, for fear that the old emperor would come back and get mad if he didn't go well, otherwise they wouldn't have enough to cut off ten heads.
When they were gone, the house was empty again. The guards next to him came over and asked worriedly, "Lord Wang, do you need to go down to check?" ”
Ling Xiqian looked at the direction of the old emperor's departure with heavy eyes, and muttered: "Don't use it for the time being, I already have an idea in my heart, just leave it to Twelve when the time comes." ”
The guard hurriedly said "yes", Ling Xiqian suddenly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, how is the princess?" ”
The guard was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the prince to suddenly ask this question. Thinking of what he heard from the guards guarding Xi Gu'an's side just now, he spoke: "Listen to Fifteen and Sixteen, Miss Xi heard the voice come out once just now, and she seemed to be in a hurry to see the prince, but they stopped it for the safety of Miss. ”
After seeing the prince's frowning brows, he hesitated a little and said, "Because Chu Jiu said just now that there were assassins in the front yard, we are worried about Miss Xi's safety......"
Ling Xiqian stretched out his hand to stop their next words, and said in a deep voice, "I'll take a look." ”
