Chapter 63: The Assassin

Chen Yicong violently flipped Bai Ling to the ground, and almost at this moment, he felt the wound on his left shoulder crack open a little more.

Bai Ling fell heavily from the bed, curled up on the floor in pain for a moment, and then slowly stood up.

Bai Ling picked up the bloody dagger on the ground again.

Zhao Qi wanted to step forward and hug Bai Siyao, and then shouted for the emperor to run.

But his body, and his feet, for a moment seemed to belong to him, and he stood stiff in the corner, like a human-shaped candlestick.

"Dare...... Assassination in the palace...... Who gave you the guts, who gave you the guts! Boling! ”

Chen Yicong barely managed to cover his wounds, but soon realized that the place on his back shoulder seemed to be difficult for him to reach with his own hands alone.

His embarrassment turned to rage.

"I'm just too indulgent of you...... I'm just too indulgent of you to make you so ignorant! Everything I've done for so long...... Is it all in vain!?

"Why...... Why the hell!? ”

Bai Ling laughed.

In the candlelight, she gently wiped the blood from her face, and the blood that had not yet coagulated stained her cheeks red.

Bai Ling did not answer, but turned around with his knife in his hand, and walked out barefoot with light steps.

Zhao Qi only came back to his senses at this time, he put the candle on the table, and then fell to his knees with a thud.

"The Emperor...... Emperor...... Do you want slaves to chase after you...... Chasingβ€”"

"What to chase! Will she still be able to run out of this palace alone! Chen Yicong said angrily, "Go and call someone!" Go to the Imperial Doctor! ”

Zhao Qi shuddered, and quickly stood up and walked out.

Chen Yicong felt a heart-piercing pain, and he collapsed on the bed gasping for breath, tears and sweat wetting the pillow.

The room was quiet for a moment, and his gaze fell on the spot where the dagger had fallen.

Suddenly, Chen Yicong realized something.

A sudden fear took hold of him, and he didn't care about getting dressed or shoeed, or even about the deep stab on his shoulder.

Just now, Bai Ling held the knife and ran out covered in blood......

The palace was full of guards patrolling at night......

If the guards spotted her, and she went on a rampage without explanation...... So what happens?

- Bai Ling...... Is it a request to die?

Chen Yicong came back to his senses again.

He rushed barefoot into the wind and snow tonight and pushed Zhao Qiyi away who was blocking the door.

"Your Majesty...... How do you ......? ”

Chen Yicong didn't put Zhao Qi's scream in his ears at all, he looked around at the location of the footprints on the ground, judged the direction of Bai Ling's departure, and then strode after him.

Blood soaked through his clothes, leaving bits and pieces of blood behind Chen Yicong.

He shouted Bai Ling's name on the uninhabited palace road.

However, there was no response, except for the echoes that stirred in the wind and snow.

The uproar finally attracted the guards stationed elsewhere - everyone was startled when they saw this.

An emperor covered in blood, wearing a thin middle coat, shouted and walked on a snowy night.

…… What's the situation!?

The secret guards did not hesitate, one went to the duty room of the Tai Hospital to announce the imperial doctor, and the remaining few people quickly fell to Chen Yicong's side, they took off their outer robes and covered Chen Yicong's body, and tried to take him elsewhere to stop the bleeding.

Chen Yicong frantically pushed away these guards who asked him to focus on the overall situation, and then suddenly turned around in the back of his head, leaving one of them to take care of him, and the other people immediately followed the direction of the current to find Bai Ling.

"Save her life! Save her life! I won't let anyone hurt her! ”

The hearts of the Dark Guards are those of the Higu.

It was destined to be a sleepless night for all.

……

Early the next morning, when the news reached the cabinet, Sun Beiji felt dizzy for a moment.

Suddenly, he felt a real fear that the emperor had been assassinated in the palace last night.

It is said that the assassin has been caught so far, but the emperor was stabbed last night and suffered from the wind and cold, and is currently resting in the palace of nourishing the heart.

How could any Assassin be able to enter the palace......

Could it be that the gold thief who sneaked into Pingjing a few years ago has now infiltrated the Imperial Palace?

What a dangerous situation the Emperor is!

He tried to ask for more details from the brocade guards who had come to deliver the message, but the brocade guards only looked at him deeply and coughed.

"Specifically, when the elder enters the palace, he will understand."

Sun Beiji didn't dare to delay, and immediately rushed to the Heart Nourishing Hall with Zhang Shouzhong.

The elderly Qin Kang was guarding there, and behind him stood Wang Jihang and Zhang Yousheng.

Sun Beiji stepped forward to ask about the situation, but Qin Kang just shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, you have to wait."

Sun and Zhang were just about to enter the house when they were stopped by Qin Kang.

"What does this mean by the Qin Yuan Envoy?" Zhang Shouzhong was a little inexplicable, "We came here by order, doesn't the emperor want to see us again?" ”

"It's not." Qin Kang looked at Sun and Zhang, "The emperor is weak now, and the two adults have just arrived from outside, so let's wash and disinfect their hands first, put on masks and shoe covers before entering the house." ”

"Masks?" Zhang Shouzhong frowned a little sensitively, "Let's wear a mask to face the saint?" This...... Not suitable, right? ”

"Does the emperor know?"

"Yes." Qin Kang said in a low voice, "Popularizing the disinfection system in the west firewood room of the Tai Hospital is itself something that the emperor intended to push last month, otherwise I wouldn't dare to ask the two adults to do this here." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the young apprentice standing beside him, "Take Master Zhang and Master Sun with you." ”

Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong didn't know what to do, but since the envoy of the Qin Old Court had already said this, the two had to do it.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Chen Yicong was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Sun Beiji and Zhang Shou found that the palace people in the Heart Cultivation Hall were also wearing masks.

It's really, so disrespectful......

The two saluted in front of Chen Yicong's couch, and the emperor heard the sound and opened his eyes.

The emperor looked weak.

Lu Dou raised his sleeve and wiped the moist corners of his eyes, and choked up, "The emperor summoned the two adults today because he has something to discuss with the two adults. ”

"Listen to me."

As Lu Dou spoke, he went to fetch the fold - it was yesterday afternoon, Chen Yicong dictated the reply left on the carriage back to the city, and some plans for putting the rear firearms of the Great Zhou Dynasty into the front line next.

Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong were stunned for a moment.

Indeed, this matter is very urgent, and it is said that Chen Yicong should go to the cabinet this morning to discuss it with the ministers in person......

The more Zhang Shouzhong listened, the more he felt a little sour.

This matter has always been handled by the Ministry of War, with the cooperation of other ministries, Zhang Shouzhong elaborated his own opinions, and then agreed and refuted several of Chen Yicong's views.

After the matter was discussed, Chen Yicong closed his eyes again and asked the two to go back to the cabinet to draft the decree.

Sun Beiji's eyes were filled with admiration and worry, "Your Majesty, what's going on with the assassination last night?" Has the identity of the prisoner been determined? ”

Chen Yicong did not answer.

"Yes!" Zhang Shouzhong frowned and said, "Where can an assassin sneak into the core hinterland of my Great Zhou and injure the holy dragon's body, this matter should be strictly investigated-"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's Boleying. Chen Yicong replied softly.
