The prisoner is in front of him, if they are allowed to escape at this moment, it will be difficult to find someone in the huge harem.

Thinking of this, Sheng Mingzhu was ruthless in his heart, and he was ready to endure the pain and forcibly stepped forward, but when the two saw that their deeds were revealed, they glanced at each other, and a touch of murder flashed in their eyes.

This place is remote, and there are craggy rockeries to cover up, the guards patrolling in the palace have just changed shifts, and they can't rush here for a while and a half, and murder the prince, which is a big crime to destroy the nine clans, since they are all deaths, why not simply fight.

The two stopped, turned around and rushed towards Sheng Mingzhu, with a fierce and decisive intent on their faces, Sheng Mingzhu secretly exclaimed badly, these two people are obviously outlaws.

In order not to show flaws, Sheng Mingzhu leaned against the rockery, and the vines in his hands snapped, the two of them were not afraid of death, they were afraid of the small vines in her hands, and they endured the pain of whipping, and they approached her.

Seeing that he was about to approach, he caught her, but saw a large rock above his head, and smashed it on the head of one of them with a bang.

Bi Qing was lying on the back of the rockery, right above their heads, holding the stone in her hand, closing her eyes, and smashing a few more pieces down.

"Quick, just ahead."

There was a rush of footsteps in the distance, and the guards patrolling with lanterns rushed towards this side, seeing that they were about to be caught, the two of them immediately made a decision, and at the same time took a few steps back, and jumped towards the lotus moon pool with a plop.

"County Lord, are you alright?"

"It's fine."

Sheng Mingzhu stepped forward quickly and looked towards the pool, only to see that there was still a little figure in the black dry lotus, only the layers of ripples on the water surface.

"The county lord, the fourth, the fourth prince, he, he's out of gas?" Bi Qing stretched out her hand and tried it between the noses of the four princes, and then retracted suddenly, and the whole person couldn't help but take a few steps back, and his face turned pale.

"How so?"

In his previous life, the four princes were not dead at all, Sheng Mingzhu took a step forward, and as soon as his hand touched his nose, he heard a scream suddenly explode in the dark shadow in front of him.

"Ahh

A sharp sound pierced the night sky and pierced into the distance.

Sheng Mingzhu's heart jumped, and he just wanted to retract his hand, but he heard a rapid wind behind him rushing straight towards him, the afterglow of his eyes reflected a cold light, and a four-foot long knife passed by on the side of his body subconsciously.

"What kind of thief, dare to be presumptuous in the palace." With a burst of angry shouts, there was the sound of the clothes tearing in the air, and the man missed the blow, and actually swung his knife again.

The shadow of the knife is sharp, and the cold light flashes.

Sheng Mingzhu's legs and feet were unfavorable, barely supported twice, and soon he was helpless and retreated step by step.

"Commander Zhang, stop it, you dare to be presumptuous in front of the county lord of Fengyang."

Bi Qing recognized the person and hurriedly shouted, and when Commander Zhang heard this, he immediately retracted his knife momentum and took a step back.

The slender and sharp eyes swept over Sheng Mingzhu's face sharply, and saw that she was indeed a girl from the Guogong Mansion, so she closed the saber in her hand.

"Where's the assassin?"

"The assassin has already escaped by jumping into the water before you came, why don't you send someone to chase after you." Bi Qing pointed to the Lotus Moon Pond Road.

Sheng Mingzhu gasped for breath, holding the rockery on the side, a cool breeze blew, and his back was cold, and then he suddenly realized that at the moment just now, cold sweat had soaked his back.

"Four princes, you go and see the four princes to see if he is still alive."

With the lantern in the hands of the guards, Sheng Mingzhu discovered that the person who was hiding in the dark and screaming just now was actually the lord of Ling'an.

At this moment, the county lord of Ling'an was frightened, pointing in the direction of Sheng Mingzhu, his voice trembling.

The commander of the palace guards, Zhang Heng, a five-grade guard with a knife, is about thirty, with a strong figure, two deep mouth and nose lines on his lips, and his temperament is slightly jealous.

I saw him quickly stepped forward, picked up the four princes, stretched out his hand to test his nose, and the color changed behind him, and shouted to the few guards who followed: "Pass my order, block the palace gate, all in and out, all carefully checked, a few of you take people to thoroughly check the vicinity of Heyue Pond, don't let go of any suspicious characters, and you go back to the saint, the four princes were assassinated, life and death are unknown, and quickly invite the imperial doctor to come over." ”

Commander Zhang quickly assigned the task, and on his face, which had always been cold and gloomy, there was a rare nervousness.

Sheng Mingzhu only faintly probed just now, and before he noticed anything, he was suddenly interrupted, and at this time, he looked at the look on Commander Zhang's face, and faintly realized that something was wrong.

Could it be that the fourth prince is dead?

The little chamberlain who fainted next to him hadn't woken up yet, Sheng Mingzhu looked at him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether the fourth prince is dead or alive, this time it should have nothing to do with Sister A!

It's just that she hasn't let go of this breath yet, but she heard the county lord of Ling'an suddenly point at her and say loudly: "It's her, it's she who hurt the fourth prince." ”

Sheng Mingzhu's face immediately turned cold, and he said sharply: "Lord Ling'an, you can eat as much as you want, you can't say anything casually, you testify that I hurt the four princes, but there is evidence." ”

"There are few people here, you are not in the banquet, but you appear here, besides, I just saw your hand taken from the neck of the fourth prince, if it weren't for you, who would it be?" The main road of Ling'an County. "Commander Zhang, do you see if there are any pinch marks on the neck of the fourth prince?"

Commander Zhang lowered his head, and sure enough, he saw a bruised pinch mark on the neck of the fourth prince.

"Lord Ling'an, don't just slander good people, the fourth lady just got the title of the saint today, how could she do such a thing, besides, she has no grievances with the fourth prince, how could she be so ruthless." Bi Qing couldn't help but jump out and defend Sheng Mingzhu.

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, she has no grievances and no enmity with the four princes, but it doesn't mean that your master and the four princes have no grievances."

Sheng Mingzhu's face sank, and when she saw that she actually wanted to involve Concubine Li, she couldn't help but have a cold glint in her eyes, "It's ridiculous, you said that I shouldn't appear here, I want to ask you why the county lord of Ling'an appeared here, I think the murderer who hurt the four princes is obviously you, right?" It's so late, you're not at the banquet, you're sneaking and hiding in the dark, what are you hiding? ”

"You're spewing blood." The county lord of Ling'an didn't expect Sheng Mingzhu to beat him upside down, a trace of annoyance flashed on his face, his eyes turned, and he said: "You don't want to mess around here, right and wrong, the saint has his own clear judgment, and murdering the prince is a capital crime." ”

After trying the snort of the four princes, Commander Zhang leaned his ears on the chest of the four princes, faintly seemed to feel a little undulation, and quickly put him flat, and kept pinching others with both hands, hearing the words, he didn't speak, and his eyes swept coldly between the two.
