Chapter 198: Assassination Again
Even if some things are not clear, Gu Yanbai will always think of them. There seems to be an invisible thread in the darkness, implicating their hearts, and their hearts are imprinted.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yanbai opened his lips and said, "I know." ”
In the next few days, Mingyuexi took care of Gu Yanbai carefully, and fell into the eyes of Xiaoyaohou, and couldn't help but feel a little more good for her. The previous embezzlement and epidemic had left an important impression on Xiaoyaohou's heart, and seeing that the two of them were so affectionate, the taste in his heart was even more complicated.
I don't know where he learned that Mingyuexi was recruited into the palace by the emperor and almost died. After thinking about it, it was decided to deal with the matter. Some mistakes were made by him from the beginning and naturally had to be solved.
As soon as the early dynasty fell, Xiaoyao Hou set off to go to the imperial study.
The eunuch informed the emperor of the news, and after hearing about it, the emperor sneered: "Good and dignified, what is he doing here?" ”
The eunuch shook his head: "The slave asked, but the Hou Ye didn't say." ”
Even if the eunuch didn't find out the news, how could the emperor not know about it?
He pondered for a moment, put it on the inkstone, and said nonchalantly, "Let people in." ”
When he got the news, the eunuch immediately went out and brought the Marquis of Xiaoyao in. And after the Marquis Xiaoyao saw the emperor, he immediately luggage: "Weichen see the emperor." ”
The emperor bowed slightly: "Master Hou doesn't need to be polite, get up." ”
Xiaoyao Hou immediately stood up from the ground, and the emperor's inquiry came from his ears again: "I don't know what happened to the Hou Ye who came to look for me today?" ”
As he spoke, his dark eyes seemed to have the magic to penetrate people's hearts.
Xiaoyao Hou directly explained the purpose of his visit: "I can't hide it, Weichen came to find the emperor this time, in fact, it was for the marriage of the dog." Weichen knew that the emperor valued the dog, so he wanted to marry the seventh princess to him, for which Weichen was grateful. But the marriage is a big event, and Weichen hopes that he will be the master himself, and he hopes that the emperor will fulfill it. ”
As soon as he came up, he made his position clear, and the emperor knew that he was referring to the fact that he had invited Mingyuexi into the palace before.
He sneered secretly, Mingyuexi's mouth was quite fast.
However, the emperor did not answer immediately, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more deserted, revealing a chill.
After a while, the emperor said coldly: "I understand the intention of the Hou Ye, and I will find another marriage for the seventh princess." ”
Emperor Chrysostom, the Marquis of Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose was achieved, and there was no further delay here, and then he left.
But as soon as he left the imperial study, the emperor slapped the table heavily, and Long Yan was furious: "How can this be reasonable!" ”
The sound of his thunder spread to every corner of the hall, and everyone had never seen him so angry, their knees weakened, and they knelt directly on the ground, lowered their heads, and did not dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, you dissipate your anger, if you make yourself angry, it's not worth it." The eunuch was relieved.
The emperor clenched his fists, his eyes were angry and fierce: "What a Gu family, I really look down on them." The seventh princess is my daughter, what is the purpose of refusing to really give marriage five times, it is simply not in my eyes! ”
The eunuch fanned the flames: "Your Majesty, this matter is also simple, from beginning to end, it is not the problem of Mingyuexi." Although she has some ability and has won the hearts of the people, she is so young, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not threaten the emperor in the future. In order to resolve the matter, the person must be removed. ”
Regarding what Mingyuexi did, the emperor appreciated it at first. But when he heard him mention this, he remembered the epidemic, when Mingyuexi left Changnan, the people of the city went to say goodbye, what kind of treatment is this.
The rejection of the marriage of the seventh princess has caused the royal face to be provoked, and if such a person continues to stay, it will inevitably become a threat in the future.
"I'll leave this matter to you, I want to look better, understand?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.
The eunuch smiled and bent his eyes, although he didn't say anything, he already understood it, and nodded again and again: "The emperor can rest assured, the slave will do it for you beautifully." ”
Gu Yanbai's injury gradually improved, and in order to prevent accidents, Mingyuexi always took Hua Tuo's prescription to the pharmacy to grab the medicine in person.
"Girl, this is your medicine." Xiao Er said and put the medicinal herbs in his hand into Mingyuexi's hand.
After Mingyuexi paid the silver taels, she also left. She habitually walked back down the alley, and as soon as she entered today, she was caught off guard and was bumped into by someone.
She looked at her with displeasure, and the other party said apologetically, "I'm sorry." ”
With an apology, Mingyuexi didn't pay attention to it and left directly.
After a sweep, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the movement of the other party's sleeve, where a dagger was hidden.
"Who are you!" As she was shocked, her figure quickly dodged to the side, and the opponent's dagger also stabbed at her.
Just a little bit, the dagger directly killed Mingyuexi, and grazed it at the waist.
Seeing that the assassination plan failed, the other party looked angry and fierce: "I am the one who came to take your life!" ”
This time, he directly and neatly showed the dagger in his hand, and immediately attacked Mingyuexi's chest again. And she retreated frequently, until there was only a wall behind her, and quickly turned to dodge. The other party fell short again, and the dagger smashed against the wall.
Ming Yuexi stared at each other and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The other party sneered: "That's someone you can't afford to mess with, I advise you to take your life obediently!" ”
The killer doesn't want to delay any longer, and the longer it goes, the more trouble it will cause.
He jumped up, aiming at the position to take Mingyuexi's life with one blow.
But out of nowhere, a pair of feet came out of nowhere and kicked him directly away. It fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.
Mingyuexi tried to make a final struggle, and immediately looked at it after hearing the sound. was even surprised to see Cheng Yu who appeared in front of him.
"How did you end up here?" Mingyuexi asked.
Cheng Yu replied humbly: "The little one is ordered by the master to come to protect Miss Ming." ”
Hearing this, Mingyuexi was very surprised, she didn't understand how Gu Yanbai knew that she was in danger.
At the same time, Cheng Yu stepped forward and grabbed the other party, and only one person was just right for questioning.
"Who sent it?" Cheng Yu lost his previous respect and indifferently twisted the person from the ground.
The other party was reluctant to speak at first, but under Cheng Yu's fist, two words popped out in fear: "Emperor...... Emperor. ”
After that, Cheng Yu let him go, without saying much, and safely escorted Mingyuexi back. After seeing Gu Yanbai, he told the matter in detail.
Gu Yanbai's long and narrow eyes flashed with calculation, and as Cheng Yu's words stopped, he retracted his deep gaze: "I know." ”
The second assassination plan ended in failure again, which made the emperor feel very bad. The eunuch who had previously arranged the assassination was rewarded with a hundred boards by the emperor on the same day.
