CHAPTER XXXI

When the emperor heard the news and rushed to Changchun Palace, Concubine Xian was crying, and Qu Muge was sitting next to her like no one else, drinking hot water to calm her nerves.

"Your Majesty, I'm scared of the concubine!" Seeing that the emperor was coming, Concubine Xian rushed up.

The emperor brushed her away and asked Qu Muge: "Ge'er, are you okay?" ”

Qu Muge shook his head and said, "Fortunately, with the blessing of Concubine Xian, my daughter is fine." ”

When Huanhuan shouted that there was an assassin, Qu Muge ran to the nearest Changchun Palace without hesitation.

The assassin was led to the Changchun Palace, but was repeatedly blocked by Huanhuan, and when he saw that the assassination could not be achieved, he hurriedly ran away.

After a stick of incense, Gu Nanye came to Changchun Palace late at night with his guards and replied to the emperor: "The assassin was desperate and committed suicide. ”

"Dead?" Concubine Xian asked in a panic: "Even if you die, you have to find out his identity, it is really outrageous to be so bold and reckless!" ”

"Yes."

Gu Nanye looked at Qu Muge and said, "Before finding out the reason why the assassin assassinated His Royal Highness Taixuan, the minister suggested that His Highness Taixuan first move to live in the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”

The Heart Cultivation Hall is guarded by guards, but the East and West Six Palaces are only patrolled by guards, and the security is not at the same level.

Qu Muge said: "The imperial grandmother has already said that it is not in accordance with the rules for me to live in the Heart Cultivation Palace. However, the suddenness of this assassin was indeed terrifying. ”

Emperor Yong pondered and said, "Gu Qing, strengthen the guards of the Tiyuan Palace, and leave this matter to you with full authority." ”

"The minister commands."

It was early in the morning, the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace to rest, and the Changchun Palace also locked the palace door.

Qu Muge was waiting for him in the east hall wearing a heavy cloak.

"I was negligent before, I didn't expect anyone to dare to send assassins in the palace to blatantly move, now that Feng Hu has led someone to guard it personally, you can sleep in peace."

Qu Muge boiled a pot of tea and invited him to sit down.

"It's been busy for half the night, Hou Ye should take a rest."

After so many days, Qu Muge finally had a soft word, and Gu Nanye felt that it was rare, so he sat down.

Qu Muge said: "I have been thinking about it alone for a long time, who will send the assassin. ”

"Has Your Highness figured it out?" Gu Nanye asked.

Qu Muge said: "Zuo Guifei is grounded and guarded, if she has dealings with the outside, it is easy to find out the evidence, it should not be her." I live in the Tiyuan Palace, and Concubine Xian is in charge of taking care of it, and if something happens to me, she can't get out of it, so it's not her. Although the fourth princess is at odds with me, she and Concubine Xi are both paper tigers and can't be called assassins. The most suspicious ...... It's the second prince. ”

Gu Nanye didn't rush to speak, but he was a little surprised.

In fact, the identity of the assassin, they had already found out at the first time, was a person within the pro-guard army, although it was not directly related to the second prince, but it was indeed the confidant of the former commander Duan Pei.

"Have you been in contact with the second prince?" Gu Nanye asked.

Qu Muge shook his head: "No, but it may be related to an incident yesterday...... When I came out of the Imperial Garden yesterday, I passed by the North Fifth Institute and met Mrs. Wei. She was supposed to be talking to someone, but when she found me coming, they ran away. I didn't see what the man looked like, but it was definitely a man, and he wasn't tall. Looking back now, it can only be the second prince. ”

There are not many men who can enter and exit the North Five Institutes and the harem, the eldest prince is more than twenty and tall, and the third prince and the fourth prince are still children.

Qu Muge said: "I don't know what they said, probably because I heard the suspicions......"

In such a hurry, killing people and killing people is naturally a matter of great importance.

Gu Nanye tapped his fingers on the table and said something that Qu Muge didn't expect.

"I'm to blame for this. Two days ago, I ordered someone to spread the news that Wei Changfeng was broken to the Huanyi Bureau, it seems that Mrs. Wei is in a hurry, and she can't wait for Zuo Guifei to lift the ban, so she directly found the second prince......"

Qu Muge was taken aback: "Wei Changfeng was interrupted?" ”

Gu Nanye nodded: "He is used to being the eldest young master, and he has become a slave who raises horses, and he doesn't know his identity." When a servant humiliated him, he deliberately provoked his mount and broke his leg, and the servant sought revenge and broke his hands and feet, and threw him in the stable and left him untreated. ”

"Mrs. Wei must be very anxious when she knows the news, it's not surprising that she will go to the second prince for help, but why did the second prince meet her?"

A prince, a sinner, unless Mrs. Wei holds the handle of Zuo Guifei or the second prince in her hand.

Gu Nanye said: "Good question, this is also the reason why someone assassinated you. ”

"Tell me quickly......" Qu Muge's curiosity was aroused.

Gu Nanye patted her head and said, "It's not a good thing to know too many secrets, you see tonight is the best proof." ”

Qu Muge didn't follow: "I obviously don't know, this is too wronged." ”

Gu Nanye said: "Don't say it, if you don't sleep, it's going to be dawn." ”

After ordering Feng Hu to guard him, Gu Nanye received news again, saying that there were also assassins on the side of the Huanyi Bureau, but fortunately he arranged manpower in advance, and Mrs. Wei was not dead and was rescued.

Gu Nanye personally went to the Huanyi Bureau, and after a short secret conversation with Mrs. Wei, he asked Mrs. Wei to be brought to the prison of the Beijing army.

Emperor Yong couldn't sleep since he was woken up by the assassins, until early in the morning, when he summoned Gu Nanye and asked, "Did you find any clues last night?" ”

In Gu Nanye's eyes, the two assassins this time were a bit of a child's play, acting hastily and full of flaws, like novices who were temporarily arranged between the emperors, and they were very different from the dead soldiers specially raised by the Zuo family.

Such an arrangement is indeed as Qu Muge deduced, Zuo Guifei may not have known about it, and it was ordered by the second prince in a panic.

Gu Nanye replied: "The identity of the assassin has been ascertained, he is a private of the pro-military guard, as for the reason for the assassination, it may be related to the second prince......

Emperor Yong's face was cold: "Go on." ”

"Wei Min has confessed, Ye Dian falsely accused His Royal Highness Taixuan of being arranged by Zuo Guifei, and after the Wei family took the blame for Zuo Guifei, Zuo Guifei promised to take care of the Wei family. Now that the son of the Wei family is seriously injured and dying, and Zuo Guifei is unable to protect herself, Wei Min found the second prince, hoping that he can come to the rescue. The second prince was unwilling to rescue, so Mrs. Wei threatened Concubine Zuo with her past secrets. ”

"The secret of the past...... Emperor Yong's face was even worse, he rubbed his forehead with one hand, and asked Gu Nanye a little sadly: "Is it what I thought?" ”

Gu Nanye didn't answer immediately, and Emperor Yong immediately asked, "What is the secret?" ”

Gu Nanye said: "Wei Min thinks that this secret is her and her son's life-saving card, and would rather die than confess." ”

Even if Wei didn't say it, Gu Nanye also knew the hidden story behind it, after the fall of Zuo Guifei in the previous life, all of them were investigated clearly.

The reason why he didn't tell Emperor Yong immediately was because he was also a little involved with the Bai family, and he was a little worried that it would affect Taixuan's situation in the palace.

"Give me a trial! I tried her to confess it! Emperor Yong pounded the table angrily.

"The emperor is angry."
