Chapter 440 The Mole in the Palace

Qian Shi said slowly: "I saw that those people were startled, and they were busy shouting, but as soon as the voice came out, I felt a pain in my body, and I fainted immediately." --”

Lan Qingxuan sat there quietly imagining the scene, her fingers tapping on the table unconsciously.

Tilt Shi asked, "Princess, is there something wrong?" ”

Lan Qingxuan's inference was that when she went in that night, she was afraid that she was already dead, and she clearly remembered the distribution of the people on the beam, so there should indeed be seven people who entered her room that night, but the secret guards only killed six in total that day, and one must have escaped by taking advantage of the chaos of the situation.

It's just that even if the assassin took advantage of the chaos to escape, then it should have alarmed the secret guards, because the secret guards at that time were all in good spirits, and it was impossible for people to escape from her room smoothly.

Lan Qingxuan's eyes were a little puzzled, if there was really a seventh person, then how did that person escape?

She remembered the night she had rushed in, and if the Assassin was still in her room, where was she hiding? Even if she was extremely smart, she couldn't figure it out at this time.

She said softly: "Dumping poetry, do you remember that there were really seven people at that time? ”

"Yes, seven people." Tilt Shi said with great certainty: "Isn't the number wrong? ”

"We only found six Assassins that day." Lan Qingxuan said softly.

Tilting Shi said softly: "Maybe one of them took advantage of the chaos to escape." ”

"They came to kill me, and they fled without achieving their goal, which really didn't fit the situation where other assassins were desperate to kill me at that time, unless they ......" Lan Qingxuan's tone paused slightly, and her eyes were full of depth.

"Unless what?" Tilt asked.

Lan Qingxuan said softly, "Unless the person who escaped is the assassin's employer, he saw that the situation was not right, and then fled." ”

At this point, she asked, "You just said that there was a woman in the middle of those people?" ”

Qian Shi nodded, Lan Qingxuan's eyes were deep, thinking of the women who escaped from those killers today, could they be the same person? There were six corpses of the assassins that day, all of them were tall men, and there was no female corpse among them, which means that the person who left the palace safely after assassinating her that day was a woman.

Lan Qingxuan saw that woman's skills today, not only is her martial arts skills brilliant, but her light skills are also extremely clever, and her response speed is also very fast, basically as soon as she sees that the situation is wrong, she immediately turns around and leaves.

In Beijing, she knew that there were two women with strong martial arts at this time, one was Luo Hongshuang, and the other was Qu Wanxin.

Luo Hongshuang's martial arts should be a little more clever than Qu Wanxin, but Qu Wanxin is better than being familiar with the palace.

These two people may want her life, but Qu Wanxin has affection for Jian Yu, and it should not be reasonable to do anything to Jian Yu.

She asked, "What did the princess think of?" ”

Lan Qingxuan nodded and said: "It's also thought of something, but it's not sure yet, you're right, if you see that woman again, can you recognize it?" ”

After thinking about it carefully, she said: "If you see it again, you should be able to recognize it, but that day she was masked, and I only saw her eyes, but her eyes were a little swollen and looked a little weird, but I was afraid that she was afraid that she would be found out before she came to the palace and did a little trick on her eyes." If that were the case, I probably wouldn't have recognized it. ”

Lan Qingxuan sighed in her heart, it seemed that those assassins had made all preparations when they came to kill her that day.

As soon as she woke up, her energy was already a little low after saying so many words, Lan Qingxuan saw her appearance and said, "You rest first, now that the painting is gone, you must be well." ”

There was a tear in the eyes of the poet, and she answered lightly.

When Lan Qingxuan returned to the main room, Jian Yu was drinking tea there, and she told Jian Yu everything she had just heard from the poem, and Jian Yu said after hearing the words, she groaned slightly: "If this is the case, then the way the assassin escaped that day is worth pondering, it seems that these secret guards of mine have also been derelict in their duties." ”

"I don't think those guards can be blamed for this incident, after all, it happened suddenly, and the assassin is obviously familiar with the palace, and it is not completely impossible to escape." Lan Qingxuan said softly.

"You don't know how to defend the palace." Jian Yu said lightly: "When I left the royal mansion at that time, because I was afraid that someone would cause trouble on Chinese New Year's Eve, there were more guards that night than before, and you have also seen their abilities today, it is difficult for anyone to escape from their hands twice." ”

Lan Qingxuan agreed with his point of view, and Jian Yu said: "So it is even more impossible for that assassin to leave silently without alarming anyone, even if he escapes, it is impossible for so many secret guards not to be aware of it." ”

After a slight pause, he said: "So there is only one possibility, and that is that there are people in the palace who are their internal responses." ”

Lan Qingxuan asked, "Your secret guards have all followed you from birth to death, and they should be absolutely loyal to you." ”

"Not necessarily." Jian Yu said lightly: "People are all changeable, and besides, I have so many secret guards, and I am not sure that they will all be loyal to me." ”

Lan Qingxuan sighed faintly, but Jian Yu smiled again: "But I won't be suspicious of any of the secret guards on my side because of this matter, I believe that most of them are loyal to me." ”

Lan Qingxuan propped her chin with one hand and said, "But now if there is an assassin's internal response in the palace, I am afraid that it will be easy to give birth to other things in the future." ”

Jian Yu said lightly: "It's still the same sentence, don't be afraid of them making trouble, because the more things they have, the more flaws there will be." ”

Lan Qingxuan nodded slightly, but felt a little stuffy in her heart.

Jian Yu sighed and said: "I originally thought that this year is the first year after we get married, and I must let you have an unforgettable New Year, but now it's good, this year is really unforgettable, but what I want is in two directions." ”

Lan Qingxuan chuckled, and Jian Yu said again: "I also prepared a lot of fireworks, I originally wanted to set them off with you, but now I'm afraid you don't have the idea of setting off fireworks with me." ”

When Lan Qingxuan heard his words, she felt that he really understood her, but she didn't want to be at the beginning of this new year, and the two lost the ability to be happy because of other people's calculations.

She stood up with a smile and said, "Who said that!" Let's go, let's set off fireworks together! ”

There are indeed a lot of fireworks prepared by Jian Yu, not only many, but also very fine, many of them are made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs only for the use of the royal family, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Jian Yu to get so much, and I don't know what means he used to ask for so many fireworks from the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although Lan Qingxuan was repulsed by the fireworks because of the death of the painting, but at this time, she and Jian Yu stood under these fireworks, but her heart was quiet again, everything in this world is relative, and there is nothing wrong with the fireworks themselves, it's just that people with ulterior motives have something wrong with those fireworks.

Those fireworks are like big umbrellas, like clouds, like birds, like butterflies, like beautiful faces, Lan Qingxuan likes it very much.

Although fireworks are easy to get cold, and after the splendor, there is eternal peace, but they at least once were brilliant.

This night, Lan Qingxuan leaned on Jian Yu's arms, and since the painting was gone, this moment really calmed down.

Early in the morning of the second day, the whole capital was in an uproar again, last night, I don't know where the corpses came from were piled up at the gate of the prince's private house, he played in Beijing last night, did not return to the East Palace, and slept directly in the private house, but he didn't expect to see this scene after getting up today, and the anger in his eyes was extremely strong.

His house was originally in the downtown area of Beijing, and when the subordinates in his house had not yet found out, the people who got up early had already seen it, and they were so frightened that they turned around and left.

Because this house has been bombed before, it is inevitable that such a thing will make people think about it again at this time, and it is easier for people to have more suspicions.

The guards below had already examined the corpses, and then came over and replied: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, all these people were killed by bows and arrows, and none of the arrows on their bodies were pulled, all of them were made by the Internal Affairs Office. ”

Jian Ren frowned and said, "Made by the Internal Affairs Office?" How so? ”

The guard handed over the arrow in his hand, and there was indeed a letter from the Ministry of Internal Affairs on it.

Jian Ren gritted his teeth and said, "So what are these corpses, can you find out?" ”

The guard shook his head and said, "I don't know, the only thing that can be determined at this time is that these people are all martial arts practitioners, and their martial arts skills are not low, they moved here after being killed in other places." ”

Jian Ren said angrily: "Who is so bold as to dare to pile up the corpses in the palace's house!" You go and notify the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and you must find out about this matter! ”

After he finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and went in, and the guards stopped talking, and seeing that he had no interest in speaking, he directly ordered people to send all the corpses to Dali Temple.

Today is only the fourth day of the first month, the yamen of Dali Temple has not yet been officially worked, at this time I saw so many corpses, and it was sent by Jian Ren's people, so those small officials on duty were busy inviting Dali Temple Qing back, after Dali Temple Qing came, I saw that this matter was too big, and I was busy sending people to ask for the criminal department Shangshu.

For a time, the two major yamen in Beijing were busy.

Jian Ren's heart was also a little uneasy, in fact, he suspected that Jian Yu did this, but Jian Yu has always said that he was sick at home, such a New Year's Festival, except for the first day of the new year, he must enter the palace to greet the emperor and empress, Jian Yu has never gone out, if this thing was not done by Jian Yu, who would be so bored and pile up so many corpses at the door of his private house to scare him?
