Yan Xiaoyun pursed the corners of her lower lip, glanced at the princess almost imperceptibly, shook her head and said, "I haven't opened the edict yet, so I'll put it in the side hall now." ”

She glanced at Rong Xiu on the side and asked for his opinion: "Then, what should we do now?" Do you want to gather your Highnesses and the ministers of civil and military affairs and announce them to the world? ”

Rong Xiu pursed the corners of his lips and didn't speak, but he was interrupted by the prince on the side without a trace: "The emperor has just passed away, and I'm afraid it's not the time to announce it to the world." The emperor's strange departure was that he was seriously injured by the Assassins while hunting in the garden, and then attacked by the Assassins tonight. These two times, no matter how you look at it, it's not that simple. If there are really people in the government and the opposition who deliberately plot to kill the emperor and covet the throne. The reading of the edict would inevitably cause some fluctuations, so it was necessary to interrogate the person behind the assassin. ”

As he spoke, the tears that had just dried up suddenly filled his eyes: "Originally, the old slave also wanted the emperor to settle in the ground as soon as possible." However, if you don't dig out the person behind this assassin, then, if it happens to be that person who sits on the throne, not only will the old slave not be able to accept it, but I am afraid that the emperor will know about it and will not turn a blind eye! ”

Rong Xiu twisted his eyebrows, his deep gaze fell on Yan Xiaoyi, and he said for a while: "The prince is really an old man in the palace, and he must be thoughtful in everything he does. Since this is the case, let's not announce the news that the emperor has died, keep the edict for a while, and then make plans after the assassins are investigated! ”

As he spoke, he frowned coldly, and shouted in a deep voice to the dozens of Rong family soldiers around him: "All the things that I have heard and seen here, no one is allowed to say a word outside without the order of General Ben!" Violators will be decided, hear no! ”

The dozens of Rong family soldiers looked at the front with heavy eyes, unswervingly looking straight ahead, and their voices were low and short, with trustworthy power: "Yes!" ”

Rong Xiu's majestic gaze swept over everyone, and then he ordered: "Then from now on, you people will strictly guard this Heart Cultivation Palace, and without the order of the general, even a fly is not allowed to be put in!" ”

Since these people joined the army, they have clearly understood that they are part of the Rong family's army, and every word said by the Rong family's son is a military order.

Especially when it comes to such a matter of great importance, they certainly cannot deny it.

Rong Xiu nodded with satisfaction and put away his faint expression.

Yan Xiaoyi's gaze fell on Bai Liying on the bed a few steps away, at this moment, his face was even paler than just now, there seemed to be a trace of black blue on his eyes, and his chest, which was still flowing with black and purple blood just now, finally gradually solidified.

His arms hung stiffly on the edge of the bed, lifeless like the plastic mannequins that were common in the windows of shopping malls in his previous life.

Yan Xiaowei blinked, the tip of her nose was a little sour, and she had to admit that this person who still affectionately called herself "Yan Yatou" during the day really left from her side.

I can't imagine that a person with thousands of manners on weekdays would die so quietly, lonely and bleak around him.

The prince was even more in tears, as if there were two faucets under his eyes, and he couldn't put them away as soon as he turned them on.

He wiped his gray beard and said to Rong Xiu and Yan Xiaoyi: "Although the news of the emperor's departure has been temporarily blocked, the old slave can't look at the emperor so embarrassed and go." He stretched out his hand to tidy up the folds on Bai Liying's shirt: "The old slave will fetch water and clean the emperor." Let him come cleanly and go refreshed. ”

Yan Xiaoyun rolled her somewhat dry and stiff eyes, and stepped forward slightly: "Princess, I'm afraid of leaking the news, there is no one to serve in this Heart Cultivation Hall except for you." Although Xiao Wei is not from the palace, he is a doctor. Why don't you let Xiao Cumin help the emperor clean himself with you! ”

Rong Xiu frowned, and subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but after receiving Yan Xiaoyi's eyes, he swallowed the words in his throat.

But the prince was a little frightened: "Miss Yan, how can this be!" You're a doctor, but you're a woman. is not a princess or a palace daughter, it stands to reason that she also wants to avoid suspicion. Besides, the emperor just went, and his body was contaminated with some evil spirit, and the girl's kind-hearted old slave understood, but this was indeed not something that the girl should meddle in! ”

Yan Xiaoyun saw that he opened his mouth to refuse, neither surprised nor panicked, as if he had expected him to say this, and said calmly: "The truth that the prince said, Xiaoyun understands." You can rest assured, Xiao is just going to fetch some water from the side and hand a handkerchief. He will never reach out and touch the emperor and be disrespectful to the emperor. ”

Seeing that the princess was wrinkling her eyebrows, she continued: "You see, except for you and me, there is the Rong family army in this Heart Cultivation Palace, and there are no people to send now, and even if there is, they are all clumsy. The emperor has been treating Xiao Cumin very well before, please give Xiao Cumin a chance, and finally send the emperor a ride! ”

Her words are sincere, coupled with those big watery eyes, let alone a prince, no matter how ruthless a person is, it is difficult to refuse.

Seeing that the princess finally nodded, Yan Xiaowei took out the basin and handkerchief from behind with satisfaction and helped the princess to help.

After a while, Bai Liying's body was finally wiped clean, and the princess changed into clean clothes. If it weren't for the fact that his body gradually began to stiffen, at first glance, I would have thought that he was just asleep.

Seeing this, the prince had to cry again, and even Yan Xiaoyan couldn't help wiping her tears.

After purifying, the prince lit dozens of candles beside Bailiying, saying that he would guard Bailiying.

Yan Xiaowei was pulled out of the Heart Cultivation Hall by Rong Xiu.

When he walked to a secluded and safe place, Rong Xiu's eyebrows that had been twisted loosened slightly. Without going into any unnecessary details, he came up and asked, "What's the matter?" What do you see? ”

As early as when Yan Xiaowei offered to help clean up Baili Ying's body, he felt strange and subconsciously wanted to stop it. However, when he received Yan Xiaoyi's eyes, he endured it. It wasn't until Yan Xiaoyu was busy from the side that he gradually saw her intentions.

Yan Xiaowei saw that he had fully understood his intentions, and smiled, but it only flashed in an instant.

Thinking of the situation she mastered, she suddenly lowered her face and said solemnly: "You are right, just now I took the opportunity to help the emperor clean himself and carefully probed on him. ”

She stretched out her hand on Rong Xiu's left chest, depicting the appearance of Bai Liying's wound, and made a comparison: "The emperor was injured before, the wound was very serious, and a sword pierced the heart, logically speaking, he should have been killed on the spot." However, I don't know if it's a miracle, the valve of his heart actually closed again according to its original appearance after being stabbed. That's why he lived for so many days with such a serious injury. ”

Rong Xiu listened to her words and twisted his eyebrows. Although he didn't know what the "heart valve" was in her mouth, he quickly understood what she meant.

Yan Xiaowei saw his expression, and then continued: "However, if the heart is pierced, it cannot be cured or healed. So, if he gets a blow to the heart, or a hard blow, he will die instantly. ”

Seeing Rong Xiu's dark expression, she continued: "Just now, I took advantage of the fact that the prince was cleansing the emperor's body to investigate the wound, and there was only one wound on his wound, which should have been left by the assassin when he was hunting in the garden before. However, there was a lot of blood on the placket of his body, and it burst out in a thin spray. That is, someone hit the emperor's heart hard with a fist in his chest, or something else, which caused the heart valve that had been accidentally closed to rupture again, and the emperor ...... with it" Speaking of this, she pursed the corners of her lips tightly and did not say any more.

She cautiously looked at Rong Xiu's expression and asked softly, "What I mean, do you understand?" ”

Rong Xiu exhaled heavily between his noses, opened his mouth and said, "I understand." As soon as he finished speaking, his eyebrows sank suddenly.

Yan Xiaowei knew that he thought of a question at the same time as himself: "Before, the prince said that he left for a while, but the emperor went. And during that time, it was the Assassins...... When Yan Haiyue broke into the Heart Cultivation Palace. Therefore, he thought that the emperor was murdered by Yan Haiyue. ”

"But", Yan Xiaoyi's voice changed, and her brows that had been stretched were furrowed and furrowed: "Don't mention the matter of removing Yan Haiyue as an assassin, if you are an assassin and still want to assassinate the emperor's assassin, what will you do?" ”

Seeing that Rong Xiu twisted his eyebrows, but did not speak, Yan Xiaoyun said to himself: "I think, if I were an assassin, I would definitely make sure that the emperor would die if I made this move, so I would stab the emperor with a knife or sword, just like the scimitar she was holding in her hand when we caught Yan Haiyue." However, there were no other sword wounds on the emperor's body, and the assassin only struck a heavy blow to the place where he was already injured. ”

As she spoke, she shook her head puzzledly: "Could it be that the assassin is not afraid that his palm will go down, and the emperor will not do anything, but wake up from his sleep, find him, and ask someone to take him down?" Isn't it too dangerous to do that? ”

Rong Xiu nodded, his face suddenly turned cold: "Unless this assassin, or the person who assassinated the emperor, already knew that the emperor's injuries no longer needed knives and swords, just a heavy punch, he would be killed on the spot!" ”

Yan Xiaoyu also bowed her head: "That's right, although Yan Haiyue was holding a knife at that time, there was no blood on the knife, which is very suspicious." However, as soon as it comes, although the emperor will be killed with just one punch, a woman's fist power is limited after all, even if she uses the strength to eat, she may not necessarily hit the emperor hard. Second, it is also a very important point that Yan Haiyue did not know where the emperor was injured in advance, and how he was injured. That's why she came with a knife. In my opinion, even if she really came to assassinate the emperor, it is likely that she will be discovered by our people before she succeeds. ”
