In the Qilin Palace, Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty sat in the first place, plain clothes with golden dragon patterns in Xuanxi, on the right was a phoenix crown yellow robe, and the graceful Empress Lin, the years had left traces on her face, and the beauty of youth could be vaguely seen.

Concubine De, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Li sat on both sides.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the wine was over half a tour, and when everyone was drunk, they saw the footsteps of the Gao Gonggong who was waiting closely beside the saint hurriedly came over, and said something in the ear of Emperor Wu, and saw that Emperor Wu's face changed, and the cup in his hand fell, and he suppressed his anger at the Gao Gonggong next to him and said: "Don't hurry up and ask for the imperial doctor." ”

"Where are the four princes now? Did the assassin catch it? Who is on duty in the Praetorian Guard today? If I can't catch the Assassin, I'll want his head. ”

The Holy Dragon Yan was furious, his voice was fierce, and the ministers below looked at each other, not knowing what happened, and they were silent for a moment, and the needles in the hall could be heard.

Concubine De next to her heard the title of her emperor, and her heart was shocked, and she turned back to Gao Gonggong and said, "What's wrong with the fourth prince?" ”

Looking at the angry appearance of the saint, as well as the information revealed in the words just now, Concubine De's heart sank to the ground, and her heart became more and more flustered, "How can there be an assassin in the palace, did the assassin hurt my son." ”

Her mother's family is in decline, and now she finally got a prince, her mother is expensive by virtue of her son, and she has a status among the concubines, and the four princes are all she relies on now, and she must not miss the slightest.

Hearing that the fourth prince was injured, everyone in the palace reacted differently, but they were more surprised, the fourth prince was just a stinky child, what did the assassin do to arrest him in a good manner?

Besides, the palace is heavily guarded tonight, and in the end, it is the assassin who does not have long eyes who chooses this time to come in.

"What the hell is going on with Grandpa Gao, Commander Zhang?" The queen's face is calm, and she is dignified in the world.

"Commander Zhang has already sent someone to chase the assassins, and there should be news soon." Gao Gonggong's forehead was sweating, and when he saw that the saint got up and wanted to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "The saint, the assassin has not been caught yet, for your safety, you had better stay here." ”

"Holy Lord, what Gonggong Gao said is reasonable." Concubine Yan on the side also persuaded politely.

"Rest assured, there are Weichen here, and he will never let the Xiao Xiao Assassin get half a step closer to the saint." Zhen Guogong stepped forward and clenched his fists.

The other ministers next to him knelt down to show their loyalty: "The ministers swear to protect the safety of the saint to the death. ”

"Little Assassins, I'm afraid of them?" Emperor Wu glanced at the ministers kneeling underground, snorted angrily, kicked away Gonggong Gao, and rushed away angrily.

Seeing this, Concubine De Niangniang looked frightened and hurriedly followed with the support of the maid.

All the generals in the palace also followed.

……

The Tai Hospital was led by Tai Yi Zhang, and almost all the people from the Tai Hospital were called over.

Seeing the appearance of the fourth prince was also startled, his face was pale, his limbs were weak, his breathing was weak, and he could stop at any time.

Only then did he tentatively detect a trace of breath between his noses.

Here, Concubine De Niangniang followed behind the saint, almost trotting all the way, and when she saw the four princes who were motionless on the ground, like a dead man, she almost didn't come up in one breath, and passed out directly.

"Jin'er, what's wrong with you, wake up, take a look at the concubine."

Concubine De's face was as white as paper, lying beside the fourth prince, hugging him and crying bitterly. "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the emperor! In the end, that ruthless thief wants to do this to my son......"

"My son is so young, he is only four years old this year!"

Concubine De Niangniang hugged the four princes and didn't let go, so that the doctor next to her was helpless for a while, so she had to let go of the needle in her hand and persuaded politely: "The fourth prince is in critical condition, please let go of the mother, let me wait for my fourth prince to get the needle." ”

The cold and dim lotus moon pool, with the arrival of everyone, the lights are bright.

As soon as the lord of Ling'an saw the emperor coming, he hurriedly saluted and leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, you can be the master of the four emperor brothers, the four emperor brothers are innocent and lively, how innocent they are at a young age, and the murderer is vicious and outrageous. ”

"Ling'an, why are you here?"

The county lord of Ling'an raised his eyes and saw that it was his mother-in-law, his face was relieved, and he stood over with a smile and said: "It's a little boring to sit in the hall for a long time, and my daughter can't hold back, so I come out and walk around, who thinks about ......it" The county lord of Ling'an was stunned, a ruthless meaning flashed in his eyes, and he pointed at Sheng Mingzhu and said: "Who would have thought that someone would have seen someone secretly murdering the four emperor brothers, if it wasn't for Commander Zhang coming in time, the four emperor brothers, I am only afraid that there will be more evil and less auspicious." ”

Sheng Mingzhu, who was pointed out by her, was instantly noticed by everyone.

Sheng Mingzhu met everyone's gaze, not moved at all, and his expression was calm, which made the suspicious people around him couldn't help but doubt the words of the county lord of Ling'an.

She doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that others don't care either, allowing her to be slandered and splashed with dirty water.

"This is absolutely impossible, the concubine dares to guarantee with her life, the sister will never do such a thing, and I hope the saint will see it." Sheng Mingxiu was the first to stand up and knelt in front of Emperor Wu.

Immediately afterwards, Sheng Mingzhong and Sheng Mingyi also knelt down and said: "The emperor is clear, my sister and the four princes have no grievances, and even Su Ri is not common, how can such a thing be done." ”

"Mingzhu has just been given the title by the saint today, the emperor's grace is immense, and it is too late to be grateful, how could he make a big mistake of murdering the prince to destroy the clan."

Sheng Mingzhong's words were sonorous, with undoubted firmness in his tone, but his face with his head down and cold was dyed with a fierce color.

"I saw it with my own eyes, is it possible that there will be mistakes, if you don't believe it, you can ask Commander Zhang, he also saw it with his own eyes." The county lord of Ling'an raised his voice unwillingly.

Emperor Wu's sharp eyes swept on Zhang Heng's body.

"Commander Zhang, do you have something to say, tell me exactly what you just saw, if you hide anything, I want your life."

Commander Zhang glanced at Sheng Mingzhu, stepped forward and said, "Back to the saint, just now, Weichen heard the call and rushed over with someone, and there is indeed only one Fengyang county lord here." ”

"Sheng Mingzhu, what else do you have to say, murdering the prince, but it is a capital crime, and the saint treats your Sheng family well, is this how you repay the kindness of the saint?" The county lord of Ling'an seemed to see that the general situation had been decided, and he couldn't help but show a trace of pride on his face.

"Ling'an is presumptuous, in front of the saint, do you have the right to talk nonsense?" Xie Yuma, who was standing next to the eldest princess, didn't expect the county lord of Ling'an to say such a thing, and immediately his face changed, and he stopped her coldly.

The county lord of Ling'an was a little dissatisfied, and muttered, "I'm right. ”
