Chapter 716: The Empress's Lies
At this moment, Su Lingyue had come out of the house in a panic, everyone looked around, and did not see the assassin in Su Lingyue's mouth, the eunuch hurriedly approached Su Lingyue, and said seriously: "Don't be afraid, your courtyard looks empty, but in fact it is just an illusion, there are more than 100 dragon forbidden lieutenants outside the courtyard, we are all ambushed in places that Niang Niang can't imagine, waiting for the assassin to send to the door." ”
"I see." Su Lingyue nodded.
"Mother, where is the assassin and where is he fleeing? Or did you hide there and ask your mother to tell you? The eunuch asked reluctantly, where did Su Lingyue know where the assassin went, but it was not easy to lie.
She knew that if they didn't take down the assassin tonight, the emperor would blame, so she could only talk nonsense, "I saw a black shadow flicker, and the man was gone, I don't know where the man went?" ”
"A black shadow flickered, and the person was gone?" The eunuch rolled his cunning eyes, his eyes fell on the guard next to him, and motioned for the guard to take a closer look, and the guard said loudly: "Father-in-law, then my subordinates are looking for it here." ”
"Quick, quick!" The eunuch waved his hand, and these guards had already saluted Su Lingyue respectfully, and entered Su Lingyue's house, and they inspected it very carefully, in the house, under the bed, under the table of the Eight Immortals, and even on the roof on the beams, in the dry well, and behind the rockery.
But every place that can be found has been searched, Su Lingyue watched their group of people look for them as if they were facing a great enemy, but in the end they didn't get it, and the leader of the guards, Oh Diang, was anxious, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks and approaching Su Lingyue.
At this moment, Su Lingyue hoped that they would stop here, don't continue to ask, don't continue to search, the head of the guard flashed his eyes, and said: "Niangniang, and please go to the East Wing for the time being, and the subordinates here will look for it again." ”
"Look at this palace, don't use it." Su Ling Yuezhi knew that if she continued to make trouble, she would inevitably expose her stuffing, and she didn't dare to let them make trouble.
But those guards were very conscientious, and at this moment, Lu Ziyou outside had fled.
After a while, a few people came in again, and it was Xiao Chenyu who started the way, Xiao Chenyu arrived without even wearing his clothes, and everyone didn't see Xiao Chenyu like this, he stood in the cold wind, his eyes looked at Su Lingyue like a torch.
Su Lingyue saw that Xiao Chenyu was alarmed again, and she couldn't help it, "Your Majesty, why are you here?" She approached Xiao Chenyu.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Chenyu didn't get close, but the voice had arrived.
"It's okay, everything is fine." Shu Linyue nodded slightly.
After Xiao Chenyu came in, the eunuch's door approached, and he couldn't skip the level to report, so he simply told the matter to Fusheng, the chief administrator of the imperial front, who frowned frequently after hearing it.
Two assassins came in one night, how could Fusheng report to the emperor, Fusheng's expression was very embarrassed, and he approached Xiao Chenyu after a long time.
"Your Majesty, there are assassins who assassinate Niangniang, one has been injured and fled, one, one, one," Fusheng didn't dare to continue, Xiao Chenyu heard this, clenched his fists angrily, and said coldly: "What's wrong with one?" Besides? ”
"Another one escaped."
"Liu Heng, come to see me!" The corners of Xiao Chenyu's mouth twitched, Su Lingyue and Xiao Chenyu have been together for many years, and she knew what Xiao Chenyu was going to do next moment by virtue of the changes in the micro-expressions on Xiao Chenyu's face.
Xiao Chenyu is often different from others, when you see him yelling, it won't be too serious, and once you see him suddenly calm, it means that things are big.
The person named Liu Heng was the leader of the guards, and he hurriedly knelt in front of Xiao Chenyu.
"Liu Heng, it's good." Xiao Chenyu looked at Liu Heng condescendingly, and smiled mockingly: "You are very powerful, you let go of two assassins in one night, and you broke the record in the palace." ”
"The last general should die, the last general is willing to be punished, but before the last general is punished, these two people will be arrested and brought to justice, they have blasphemed the last general's duty, the last general is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of being aggrieved, and please ask the emperor to open the net and let the last general catch them, and then let you decide."
"Good!" Xiao Chenyu said angrily: "Do you still want to use strong words? I won't kill you today, tomorrow even they will slack off, today the assassins will assassinate the queen, tomorrow, I'm afraid that my head will not be saved, what do I want you to do? ”
Xiao Chenyu learned a lesson, he was very strict with the training of the guards, and he was also very strict with them.
He couldn't have imagined that things would turn out like this, and Liu Heng couldn't have imagined that he hadn't even caught an assassin.
"Hey," Liu Heng sighed and closed his eyes, Xiao Chenyu had already glanced at Fusheng next to him, Fusheng approached Liu Heng, "I'm sorry, Boss Liu." ”
Fusheng took out a bottle of Hedinghong from his sleeve, he didn't say a word, and put Hedinghong in front of Liu Heng.
Liu Heng opened the cork, and just as he was about to drink, Su Lingyue suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the concubine begs you to forgive General Liu for coming here, and give General Liu a chance to atone for his crimes, right?" ”
Because Su Lingyue was relatively close to Liu Heng, after she said this, she approached Liu Heng in a flash, and snatched the poison from Liu Heng's hand.
Then Liu Heng didn't expect that the queen would help him, and at this moment, Su Lingyue quickly took away the poison, and the person quickly knelt in front of Xiao Chenyu.
"Your Majesty, as soon as you come, the assassin came prepared, and he knows the geographical location of the palace well, which shows that he has intentions."
Su Lingyue tried every possible way to exonerate Liu Heng, Xiao Chenyu saw Su Lingyue kneeling in front of him, his heart was broken, and before Su Lingyue finished explaining his views, he hugged Su Lingyue and pulled Su Lingyue up.
Su Lingyue knew that she couldn't remember it, and if she continued like this, she would inevitably drag down General Liu because of a lie of her own.
In this imperial capital, if you want to be a royal guard, you need to go through a lot of searches, it is a very long and complicated process, and Su Lingyue can't bury his future because of his own mistakes.
"In the second place, if it wasn't for General Liu to protect the concubine just now, the concubine has been murdered, and at this moment, the concubine still hopes that you will give General Liu a chance."
Xiao Chenyu looked at Su Lingyue, "I know that you are a person who cherishes talents, okay." Xiao Chenyu's eyes looked at Liu Heng, and his voice was still fierce: "I will give you a chance, but not as an example, what else can you be the leader now, you have been ruined, I hope you can give me an answer to today's incident." ”
"Yes!" Liu Heng knelt on the ground again.
"Your Majesty," Su Lingyue saw that things were getting bigger and bigger, and said: "The concubine only saw one assassin just now, and when the concubine was frightened, she seemed to see the second one, but General Liu has already looked it up, and there is no second person inside and outside this courtyard, which means that the concubine is dazzled." ”
"Liu Heng, have you really checked it carefully? There is no second person inside and outside this courtyard? Xiao Chenyu looked at Liu Heng suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, even if the last general can't kill the enemy, you know the kung fu of the last general's investigation, as long as you can find the second assassin inside and outside this courtyard, the head of the last general will be cut off for you." That Liu Heng is also a straight person.
"Probably the queen mother panicked and saw it wrong." Liu Heng was still kneeling on the ground.
"Get up, don't kneel, get up." Xiao Chenyu motioned for Liu Heng to get up, and Liu Heng got up slowly
"It's not that I doubt your abilities for the sake of safety, I have to find someone to check it out." Xiao Chenyu coughed coldly, and Fusheng next to him was already close like a sculpture, "Check it out." ”
It's just three simple words, a group of Xuanjia guards came in outside the courtyard, this group of Xuanjia guards were expressionless, they were incredibly serious, and they almost found every location where they could hide people, and they spent an hour.
At this moment, Su Lingyue and Xiao Chenyu had gone from the West Warm Pavilion to the East Wing.
"Your Majesty, don't be too strict with that Liu Heng, look at the concubine, he is actually very remarkable." Su Lingyue's words broke the silence.
"I have a score in my heart." Xiao Chenyu bowed slightly, lowered his eyes to look at Su Lingyue, and found that Su Lingyue's expression was a little sad, and hurriedly said: "But I can't say that I have to punish a small punishment and a big commandment, and tonight is a loss that there is no problem, once there is really a problem, it is related to your safety, how can you let me rest assured?" ”
"The concubine knows." It is possible to lack interest, Xiao Chenyu looked at Su Lingyue with low eyes, and was about to say something, Fusheng walked in from outside, he approached Xiao Chenyu and said a word, Xiao Chenyu nodded silently.
Su Lingyue is good at observing words and feelings, and has a rough idea of what they are talking about, and when Fusheng stood up respectfully and stayed away from Xiao Chenyu, Su Lingyue said: "The concubine knows, she must have found nothing, right?" ”
"Yue'er is like a god." Xiao Chenyu's eyes were solemn, he was not sure whether it was Su Lingyue who was dazzled just now, or if the assassin was really very powerful, and he could run away under his nose.
He was depressed.
"It means that the concubine is still dazzled," Su Lingyue said slowly: "The turmoil has passed, so let's end here." ”
"I'll also check, after all, this is Ouchi, he can sneak in and assassinate you today, and tomorrow he will assassinate me if he can't keep it, I have to be on guard in advance." Xiao Chenyu spoke earnestly.
Seeing that Su Lingyue's mood had gradually stabilized, Xiao Chenyu held Su Lingyue's hand, and his soft voice was like warm flowing water, "Okay, you don't have to work hard, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, as for the assassin, sooner or later it will be taken down, now you have a good rest here." ”
Tiredness has arrived, after the tossing and turning of the soldiers in the first half of the night, Su Lingyue did feel a little sleepy at this moment, closed her eyes and lay in Xiao Chenyu's arms, Xiao Chenyu saw Su Lingyue's sleepy appearance, and patted her gently.
Just like a loving mother coaxing her dishonest child who sleeps, under his caressing, Su Lingyue gradually fell into the black sweet country.
