"Please be the master of the concubine, if it weren't for Mingzhu's accidental discovery today, when the palace people woke up and saw the four princes whose life and death were unknown around them, who would believe his innocence, he was my Liren palace attendant, and the concubine couldn't tell the grievances on her body even if she had ten mouths." Concubine Li's voice was sad.

"Check, you must investigate thoroughly." Emperor Wu's nose was furious, and his whole body was full of anger, this matter obviously stepped on his bottom line.

"Saint, one of the murderers has a smash wound on the forehead, and he is familiar with the path of the harem during the operation, it is very likely that he is a person from the harem, they jumped into the water and escaped, lest others find out, they must go back and secretly change their clothes as soon as possible, time is pressing, they should not have time to deal with the dirty and wet clothes now, as long as the saint sends someone to search the residence of the palace attendants, he will definitely be able to find the traces of the murderer." When Sheng Mingzhu said this, his eyes swept over the faces of several concubines next to Emperor Wu.

Whether in the past life or in this life, who set up the poisonous plan to blame Sister A, taking the lives of the four princes as a chess piece, such a big hand, and he is not afraid of being found out and devouring him?

The motive is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than looking at her sister unpleasantly, or looking at their Sheng family unpleasantly.

Who is it? Sheng Mingzhu thought about it secretly, thought about it for a while, but gave up, daring to be so blatant, he must be fully prepared, even if the murderer is caught, he may not be able to confess the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Commander Zhang got the order, and was just about to take the search, but he heard the sound of fighting from the table tennis on the other side of the Heyue Pond, his expression was shocked, his nerves were tense, and he shouted:

"There are assassins, protect the emperor quickly."

As he spoke, he had already stepped forward, pulled out the saber in his hand, and protected it in front of Emperor Wu, and the other guards next to him also drew their swords and were on guard.

Zhen Guogong and Sheng Mingzhong looked awe-inspired, and the father and son glanced at each other and said, "Holy Lord, thieves are rampant, and Rong Chen will arrest him." ”

"Two Aiqing, be careful."

Sheng Mingzhu glanced at the assassin from a distance through the black pool, and saw that the assassin's body was strange, his swordsmanship and his fierce and vicious, the sharp point was pointed, and the cold seeped into the roots, only from a distance, Sheng Mingzhu knew that this assassin was definitely not the villain who hurt the four princes just now, if the two of them could be half as powerful as him just now, it would not be her turn to stand here alive now.

The black-clad and masked, ghostly figure of the assassin seemed to disappear into the darkness at any moment, and his long sword was sharp, and after stabbing several guards with wide opening and closing, he wanted to escape.

"Who is the thief, dare to spread wild in the palace, don't think about escaping."

Zhen Guogong and Sheng Mingzhong jumped a few times and approached the assassin, both of them were kung fu in the bloody field, they were brave and brave, and they were fierce against the assassins, but they did not fall behind at all.

All of a sudden, the figures of the people flipped in the dim light and shadow, and the sword light and sword shadows were murderous.

Worried that the assassins would have accomplices, the Empress and several His Highnesses requested at the same time, imploring the Holy Lord to lead the people to retreat to the Naruhito Hall.

The imperial physicians took the four princes and moved to Yuxiu Palace, the dormitory of Concubine De Niangniang, under the protection of the palace guards.

After about a stick of incense, Zhenguo Gong's father and son and Commander Zhang came back, but their faces were not very good-looking.

"Did the assassin catch it?"

"Holy Lord, the incompetence of the ministers allowed the assassin to escape." The three of them looked ashamed and bowed their heads.

Emperor Wu's eyes were cold, his gaze swept over the bodies of Grandpa Guo and Sheng Mingzhong, and only then did he say in an indifferent voice that could not hear emotions: "But a small assassin can actually escape from the hands of the three strongest people in the Great Zhou?" Absurd! ”

The thunderous anger of the saint was obviously on the verge of exploding, and Sheng Mingzhu couldn't help but sweat on the father and brother kneeling in the field.

All three fell to their knees at the same time.

"Holy forgiveness, that assassin shot ruthlessly, although he was lucky enough to let him escape, but he has been severely injured by the three of us, and he is seriously injured, even if he runs, he can't run far, please Your Majesty, order the blockade of the capital division, and the whole city will be searched."

Jing Zhaoyin, who was in the crowd, heard the voice and asked: "Holy Lord, assassins are rampant, martial arts are extremely high, such a person will have endless troubles after staying, since he has been seriously injured, he must not be far away, the minister immediately took people out to search, let him plug his wings and it will be difficult to escape." ”

The original good palace banquet was full of twists and turns, and under several frightes, no one was in the mood to continue, Emperor Wu ordered Jing Zhaoyin to go down to search and arrest, and ordered Commander Zhang to find out the murderer who hurt the four princes as quickly as possible.

After that, the hall fell silent like death, until the news came from the harem that the four princes woke up, and everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until the end of the day that everyone was able to leave the palace.

The small housekeepers outside the palace had already waited for their hands and feet to be icy, and the small servants who were close to each other gathered together to drink two sips of spirits to warm up their bodies, and lowered their voices.

Zhu Nianjun relied on a bag of burning knives on his waist, and he had already mixed into the pile of people in the princess's mansion, and after a few sips of wine, he called these subordinates from the princess's mansion brothers.

"It's fucking cold this day, it's not winter yet? If it's winter, will it still be able to live? ”

"It's been a bit cold this winter, but I remember one thing." Zhu Nianjun took the wine bag and poured it into his mouth boldly, "It is rumored that the third yuan and the first of the concubine Ma Ye, the young talent, the appearance is better than Pan An, and the eldest princess met for the first time, it was in such a cold winter, it is said that in a heavy snowfall, the eldest princess was dressed in red and snow, and her face was magnificent, and she suppressed the snowy scene, which made the concubine master miss it for life at first sight?" All the old brothers are on errands in the princess's mansion, have you ever seen the true face of the eldest princess? Is it really that beautiful? ”

Zhu Nianjun smacked his mouth as if unintentionally and said: "When I was a child, I often heard the storyteller in the teahouse talk about the eldest princess and the princess, what would like to be a one-hearted person, the white head is inseparable, I heard that every year in the heavy snow season, the princess has to accompany the eldest princess to enjoy the snow and stroll, to commemorate the first time they met in the snow. ”

Zhu Nianjun took out a handful of melon seeds and snacks from his sleeve and delivered them to them diligently, looking at the gossip on his face.

"What, little thing, don't you want to marry a daughter-in-law too? My brother told you, you are like this, and you are only worthy of a girl who sweeps the floor, and the princess and the horse are not something you can inquire about. ”

A few subordinates took the dim sum melon seeds he handed over, drank a few sips of hot wine, and winked at him and laughed.

"I, I'm not curious? Besides, at my age, is it normal to think about this? Zhu Nianjun scratched his head, his expression was a little embarrassed.

"Boy, take care of your mouth, if it weren't for your two sips of wine today, my brother wouldn't have a word of nonsense with you, the most important thing for this person is not to have any curiosity, it's best to be a dumb blind and deaf person, be your errand, maybe there will be a chance to ask for a sweeping daughter-in-law in the future, otherwise the old brother should burn the grave paper for you."

"Big brother is right." Zhu Nianjun responded with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but slander in his heart, the subordinates of the eldest princess's mansion were really tight, oil and salt did not enter, and the slightest useful information could not be found.

"It's not too early, maybe I will drink it again, and if something happens later, you won't have enough brains to lose."

Zhu Nianjun was unwilling, and wanted to continue to close, but he saw that the palace door that had been closed was opened, but what came out of it was not the masters and young ladies of the families, but Jing Zhaoyin, who looked hurried and had a solemn face, and several Praetorian Guards who were hurrying with swords.

"What's going on? Why did the Praetorian Guards come out? ”

"In the past, the banquet in the palace hall should have ended at this hour, why has there been no movement today?"

"It's true, isn't there something going on in the palace......"

The subordinates whispered, and even Zhu Nianjun couldn't help but stretch his head to look ahead.

Fortunately, they didn't wait long, and after a while, they saw the palace gate open again, and the masters of each province came out one after another.

But it doesn't seem to be good at looking at it.

Sheng Mingzhu slowly got into the carriage with the support of Xia Yu, and as soon as she sat down, the curtain fell, and the nerves that had not yet relaxed suddenly tensed up again.

There are people in the carriage!

Before she could react, she saw a sharp dagger against her waist.
