Chapter Eighty-Four: Repeated Assassinations

Everyone was shocked.

Zhou Nianbai's folding fan was opened and thrown, and after circling around the wrist of the person holding the sword, it flew back again.

The wrist of the person who was stabbed with the sword hurt and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Song You jumped out from behind Mu Jinlin and rushed straight towards the other party.

Facing the left and right attacks of Song You and Zhou Nianbai, the man holding the sword went towards the window and ran in the direction of Lin Zitang.

Mu Jinlin let out a bad shout, picked up the long sword on the ground and threw it out, and a sword pierced the assassin's body.

Lin Zitang and Huan Niang supported each other, their bodies trembling.

Blood splashed from the assassin's body, Song You was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Mu Jinlin: "Why did you kill him?" ”

Mu Jinlin gritted his teeth, covered the wound on his shoulder with his hand, gritted his teeth and walked to Song You's side: "You can't watch the villains hurt Lin Xiaogongzi and An Cong." ”

Song You wanted to say something, but when he saw the blood staining Mu Jinlin's hands, he could only sigh: "This matter is not trivial, there is a prince in the room and there are assassins to attack, it is likely that there is a big move behind, and he must take the Fifth Highness to report to the Holy Lord." ”

An Cong shook his head: "No, the assassin is dead, if you want to find out who is behind the scenes, it is as difficult as the sky, now the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, I don't want to find out the enemy, next time I encounter this situation, I will still have a black eye." ”

Zhou Nianbai hurriedly said: "Then what do you say?" ”

An Cong pursed his lips: "If there is really a big move behind the scenes, I think it may be a battle for succession, if the Fifth Highness returns to the palace at this time, it is to tell the mastermind behind the scenes that the plan has failed, and the other party will definitely be wary at that time, but if the Fifth Highness does not return to the palace, any of us return in a hurry, the result of the matter will be very different, at least, we can know who is most likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at An Cong.

An Cong pondered for a moment: "Moreover, the person who wants to return to the palace has to be Gongzi Zhou, the third prince of Song is friendly with the Fifth Highness, if the Fifth Highness dies suddenly, he will be in deep pain, almost want to die, and he can't go to the palace to report the news." ”

Song You thought for a while: "What you said is good, but whether you can get more benefits than hanging out the mastermind behind the scenes depends on Nianbai." ”

An Cong raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Nianbai: "That's the case, but Zhou Gongzi must not do it, when you arrive in the Renhe Palace, you must cry loudly first, so that everyone in the hall can hear it, the saint asks you, don't say it immediately, you must whimper and make no sound, then the saint will close the door of the room, you can tell the truth again, otherwiseβ€”β€”"

Song You glanced at Mu Jinlin, who was still alive, and couldn't help laughing: "Otherwise, if you tell the Holy Lord that the Fifth Highness is gone, you will be bullying the monarch." ”

Zhou Nianbai and Mu Jinlin glanced at each other and smiled at each other, then Zhou Nianbai turned around and went out: "Don't worry, everyone!" ”

Everyone in the house, except for Lin Zitang, watched Zhou Nianbai leave.

Song You actually only glanced at Zhou Nianbai's back, in fact, what made him mind more was that Mu Jinlin actually killed this assassin with a sword.

Mu Jinlin turned his head to see Song You's expression and asked, "What?" ”

Song You frowned, his expression was heavy: "It's not a secret, a few days ago, I just got married, and there were assassins in the family, and they were also from Lingyin Palace." However, this time the assassin's kung fu seemed to be lower, and it seemed that it was just for a moment. ”

An Cong blinked, didn't speak, and looked out the window: "I'll go down and ask the shopkeeper not to let a guest leave, otherwise all the plans just said will come to naught." ”

Mu Jinlin and Song You knew that An Cong intended to avoid it, so they nodded in response.

As soon as An Cong left, Mu Jinlin frowned: "What does this mean?" ”

Song You sighed, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves.

Mu Jinlin sighed: "Perhaps, those people are just thinking about assassinating a prince like me who is not good at kung fu, so there is no need to send any masters." ”

Song You's eyebrows moved slightly and did not speak.

An Yu in the palace waited for the gold dust sent by Qiu Yu in the medicine hall, and also waited for a piece of news.

When Qiu Yu gave the beaten gold dust to An Yu, An Yu was mashing the evening primrose in a mortar.

The pink evening primrose has been pounded by An Yu in the mortar, and it has lost its beauty, but An Yu is so happy how to look at it.

Thinking about the silver rewards given by Zhao Guifei, and thinking that in the future, the palace maids of all sizes in this palace will come to buy skin care products made by themselves, and there are countless silver to earn, which is even happier than eating honey.

When Qiu Yu came in, Fu Shen and An Yu said with a smile: "The lady is really diligent. ”

An Yu raised her head, smiled and stretched out her hand: "That's because you are more diligent, in order not to fall behind you, I will be like this." ”

Qiu Yu handed the two bottles to An Yu: "This is gold dust." ”

An Yu bowed her head, thanked her, and said nothing else.

Qiu Yu did not retreat, and looked at An Yu, who was pounding herbs: "Lady, I heard that His Royal Highness Fifth went to Lord Song's invitation today, and something happened at the banquet, and now the emperor is annoyed, and he is asking people to take Lord Song." ”

An Yu raised her head and looked at Qiu Yu: "Something happened?" What's going on? ”

Seeing that An Yu had already stood up, Qiu Yu hurriedly took a step back: "The status of the slave is low, and he can't know what happened, so he ......"

An Yu's thumb rubbed her lips, and she lowered her eyes: "No, Song You was just assassinated, and he almost lost his life, this is something that the saint knows......"

Before he finished speaking, the man went out.

She went straight to the temple of Ninhe.

When she arrived at the gate of Renhe Palace, the guards stopped her, and An Yu simply knelt down: "Ask the emperor's quasi-courtiers to enter the palace!" ”

After saying this, it was not the people in the palace who hurried to respond to her, but the queen came slowly in plain clothes and came to her side.

An Yu looked up, and tears fell on the queen's cheeks: "This palace heard about the five princes, and I was in a sad mood, so I came to ask to see the emperor." ”

The guards opened the door, and the queen walked in slowly with her skirt, and An Yu didn't care about anything else, so she followed the queen in.

Entering the courtyard, she found that the door of the Renhe Hall was also closed, and An Yu turned her head and asked, "Queen Mother, I don't know what happened to the Fifth Highness?" ”

The queen frowned slightly: "Then, I have to ask your husband." ”

An Yu wanted to ask something more, but the closed door of the hall was opened, and Nian walked out of it, and when she saw the queen, she seemed to be a little surprised, and then walked to the queen: "Queen Mother, why did you come to Renhe Hall in plain clothes?" ”

The queen wept: "You go out and listen, the people in the palace are saying that there is no successor to the emperor, and it is difficult for a Ming monarch to govern the world, how can you condone it if you shake the country's foundation like this, you must return to the emperor, and make plans early." ”

Zhou Nian's white chin bowed: "So many mothers don't care, and the queen mother hasn't shown up, but the queen mother is dedicated to sharing worries for the emperor." ”

The queen sighed: "As the mother of a country, how can I be like a harem concubine, only knowing the love of my children?" ”

Zhou Nianbai nodded: "I don't know if the Queen Mother knows about this." ”

The queen didn't talk to Zhou Nianbai anymore, and walked straight towards the main hall, but stopped at the bottom of the steps.

Because she saw a person, it was the emperor.

The emperor stood in the hall with his hands in his hands, his face hidden in the shadows: "The queen is really my intimate person." ”

The queen bowed: "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor took a deep breath: "Do you know what Nian Bai said to me when he entered the palace? ”

The queen was slightly stunned, and the emperor took a step forward: "Zhou Nianbai said to me that the person who assassinated Jin Lin this time will definitely not be able to sit still in my Renhe Palace, because the prince I like the most is dead, and I can put the prince I like on the throne!" ”

The queen at the bottom of the steps took two steps back and shook her head: "Your Majesty, it's not ......"

An Yu was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help blurting out: "Then, is the person who wanted to kill Song You before also the queen?" ”

The emperor stared at the empress: "Empress, did you say?" β€œ

The queen's eyes were full of puzzlement: "No, the emperor, the concubine has never done such a thing, the concubine is worried about the position of the prince, but the concubine has never sent an assassin, if the emperor does not believe it, you can torture and examine the people in the Fengyi Palace, and you will know whether what the concubine said is true or false!" ”

An Yu's brain was overpowered, and she suddenly remembered Song You's words: The queen killed me, there is no benefit.

Thinking of this, An Yu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to follow what the queen mother said, check it clearly, if it is confirmed what the queen mother said, you can also find out who is behind the scenes, after all, my husband and I have been assassinated a few days ago, and such a frightened day is really not human." ”

After hearing this, the emperor pondered for a moment, turned his head and said to Zhou Youyou: "According to what the queen said, every palace person in Fengyi Palace can't let go, and everyone they have come into contact with can't let go, and - first lock the queen in the side hall of the queen mother, and order heavy guards to guard it, no matter who it is, you can't go in to visit." ”

Zhou Youren responded and left the Renhe Palace with the queen.

As soon as the queen left, it was rumored that Song You took Mu Jinlin back to the palace, and the emperor hurriedly waved his hand to send Mu Jinlin to Renhe Palace.

An Yu didn't leave, just waited for Song You to help Mu Jin to the back of the Renhe Palace, and then followed to the side hall.

That Mu Jinlin's face was pale, his lips were purple, but after seeing An Yu, he still didn't forget to smile and say to Song You: "You little lady is really wonderful, I am guarding you here at this time." ”

Song You glanced back at An Yu and helped Mu Jinlin into the house: "You save it, say so many things, when the imperial doctor comes, be careful that I can't save you." ”

An Yu did not enter the inner room, and waited in the hall.

After Song You settled Mu Jinlin, he walked out, his hands were bloody, his body was bloody, and after seeing An Yu, he wanted to open his hand and hug her, but he retracted his hand.

Seeing his movements, An Yu couldn't help but smile, and stepped forward to hug Song You: "Are you okay?" ”

Song You lowered his head and smiled, and was thinking about saying something appropriate, when Mu Jinlin shouted in the house.

An Yu and Song You hurriedly walked into the inner room.

Mu Jinlin's face was painful, he stood up, and in a panic, he grabbed An Fei's wrist: "The sword is poisonous." ”

Song You's eyes darkened and glanced at Mu Jinlin holding An Yu's hand, and then looked up at Mu Jinlin, and for some reason, he raised his hand and slapped Mu Jinlin.
