Chapter 421: Assassination (3)
He is the crown prince, the prince, and the prince.
Changsheng's heart knew very well that from the day he was born, there were too many people who wanted to take his life.
Therefore, his father let him practice martial arts since he was a child, riding and shooting bows and arrows, wrestling with swords, and he couldn't relax in everything. And the guards around him are all capable people.
This time, they were able to get out of danger safely, and it was all thanks to the people around him who reacted in time.
Changsheng knew very well that he was in a dangerous position, but he didn't expect that there were still people secretly planning to murder his mother?
Who exactly?
Worry-free saw Changsheng staring at a certain place in a daze, those dark brown eyes looked cold and gloomy, which made people slightly scary.
"Changsheng ......" she couldn't help but call out to him, and said softly, "You better rest in bed." Good no good? ”
Her eyes were red, and she looked at him worriedly.
Either way, he was frightened, he needed to rest, he needed to relax.
When Changsheng saw her wanting to cry, his heart suddenly softened.
He hesitated a little before nodding and saying, "Okay, then I'll rest for half an hour......
Worry-free smiled slightly when he heard this: "Okay, you have a good rest." ”
She got up and wanted to leave, not wanting to disturb his purity. Who knows, Changsheng gently tugged on her sleeve and said in a low voice, "Sister, can you stay a little longer?" ”
Just now, he thought he was going to die in the chaos of arrows...... Never to come back, never to see her again.
Worry-free is naturally willing to accompany him, and the queen mother can't spare time for a while, so she accompanies him, but she is also at ease.
Changsheng saw her sitting down quietly, so he stretched out his hand.
Without hesitation, Carefree held it gently, his thumb caressing the back of her hand.
They were like this when they were children, and whenever he was sick, she always stayed with him like this.
No matter how the grandmothers persuaded her to leave and not to be sick, she insisted the same.
Changsheng let out a long breath of relief, closed his eyes tightly, and let himself recover from Fang Cai's panic.
…
At this time, the only one who was caught alive was properly placed by Meng Xilan. In order to prevent him from biting his tongue and killing himself, they gagged him with strips of cloth and tied his hands and feet, making him completely immobile.
Now that he has fallen into the hands of the queen's mother, he naturally can't survive but can't die.
Zhulu took the queen's waist card out of the palace and traveled unhindered all the way. For safety, she was accompanied by plainclothes guards.
She came all the way to the high-welfare teahouse, and during the day, he was not in the house, but outside.
Zhulu's hurried appearance alerted Gao Welfare to the fact that something had happened.
He was just about to let her into the room to speak, but she grabbed his hand and said, "You hurry up and follow me into the palace, something happened...... When Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left the palace, they were actually assassinated! ”
Gao Fuli was stunned when he heard this, and his face changed greatly.
The master and the little master were actually assassinated!
Before he could ask a question, Zhulu urged him to act. Time waits for no one, not to mention that it is still an extraordinary time.
Gao Fuli nodded, only explained a few words to the people behind him, and followed her into the palace.
It had been several years, and he never thought that he would be able to enter the palace again.
Gao Fuli was in a nervous mood, and listened to Zhu Lu explain what had happened, and roughly explained it.
Seeing him frowning, Zhu Lu couldn't help but reproach softly, "How did you collect the news?" ”
She thought he knew everything in the capital and covered the sky with one hand. With such a big movement, there is no wind at all?
Gao Fufu frowned, knowing that he must have been negligent.
How could he not be aware? Such a big move, assassinate the queen and the crown prince! How can confidential work be done seamlessly?
Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhulu sighed again: "Niangniang has always had high hopes for you. ”
Gao Welfare's heart tightened when he heard this.
He did disappoint the queen mother, even if she wanted to ask the teacher for the crime, he had nothing to say.
This life is no longer his.
After a few years, he returned to the palace again, and Gao Fuli's heart was mixed for a while.
He entered the palace as a slave since he was a child, was bullied and endured all the hardships. If he hadn't met his mother back then, he wouldn't have a prosperous future. He was once the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the highest-ranking eunuch in the palace.
Gao Fu's mind drifted away for a while, and he was slightly in a trance.
When he came to Cining Palace, he almost burst into tears.
At this time, Meng Xilan had already changed into the bloody clothes on her body, her face was slightly pale, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and her expression was gloomy and tired.
When she saw Gao Fu, she stared at him angrily and said coldly, "How are you doing an errand?" ”
Zhou Youchen also looked at it when he heard this, his eyes were staring at Gao Welfare, he hadn't seen him for a few years, and he had aged a lot. But it looks good, and the dress is very exquisite.
"The slave greets the emperor, and the queen asks for peace."
He didn't forget the rules in the palace, and he was still respectful and respectful.
Zhou Youchen didn't expect to see Xiao Lizi again, but he always knew that Meng Xilan kept him alive, which was her own plan.
Meng Xilan looked at Gao Fuli and continued to scold: "What did this palace ask you? You put your head up! ”
Gao Fuli obediently raised his head, but he didn't dare to look directly at his master's gaze.
"What is the purpose of this palace to spare your life and let you inquire about the news outside the palace? You're so useless, why should this palace keep you......"
Meng Xilan was not only annoyed in her heart, she was more worried that Gao Welfare might not know about it at all, or she heard some rumors, but she deliberately concealed it and did not report it!
There aren't many people around her who can be trusted.
Gao Fuli saw that his master's face was like frost, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave deserves death!" Niangniang, the slave really doesn't know anything about this assassination. The minions didn't hear anything! ”
He has been interrogating Xiao Dongzi for the past few days, and seeing that he is about to run out of breath, he always has to ask something.
"With such a large layout, how could there be no wind in advance?"
Gao Fuli kowtowed again: "Back to Niangniang, there really isn't." ”
Seeing him gritting his teeth and insisting, Meng Xilan's face was gloomy for a moment before he said, "This palace will give you one last chance, three days!" After three days, if you can't find clues for this palace, then just find a place to hang yourself, so as not to dirty your hands! ”
Gao Fuli's heart sank, and he immediately saluted: "The slave obeys orders!" ”
The master is already considered to be gracious. Within three days, he must have found a way to find the clue.
Zhou Youchen looked at Gao Fuli and didn't say a word.
Before Gao Fuli left, he glanced at the emperor cautiously.
The young genius of the year has become much more mature now.
His gaze was resolute but also cold, and his angular face was almost expressionless.
Gao Fuli had no intention of returning to the palace, and he knew that there was no place for himself here.
Gao Fuli was about to leave the palace, but was taken to the Internal Affairs Office by Zhulu.
"We are ......" Gao Welfare puzzled.
"Niangniang wants you to judge someone!" Before Zhulu could speak, Xiao Chunzi took over the conversation first.
"Who?"
Koharuko compared it with her fingers: "The assassin who just stabbed." ”
Zhu Lu spoke this time: "You know the tricks of the palace judges. The mother wants to keep her mouth alive, and if she can see no blood, she will not see blood. ”
Gao Welfare suddenly knew it in his heart when he heard this.
His methods, Niangniang has seen it. At that time, the people in the Criminal Department were afraid of him......
Gao Fuli lowered his eyes slightly, didn't say a word, just rolled up his sleeves and said, "I know." ”
The mother gave him three days, which was already merciful. This half-day effort, whether he wants it or not, he has to stay.
…
Usually, there is a slight disturbance in the palace, and within half a time, it will be known to everyone.
The assassination of the queen and the crown prince, such a big thing, spread to all palaces, and people were uneasy.
Song Qing'er was the first to rush outside the Cining Palace, but she was short of a closed door.
The queen didn't have time to take care of her, and after her, there were still many people waiting to see her.
Without exception, they were all turned away.
Meng Xilan was in an anxious mood at this moment, and she only felt annoyed when she saw others.
Zhou Youchen has been with her, only forgetting about the ministers.
Meng Xilan was silent for a while, and seeing him looking at him worriedly, she couldn't help but say in a slow tone: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that you left halfway through the court." Political affairs are important, and the emperor still doesn't want to accompany his concubines. ”
Zhou Youchen waved his hand: "How can they be as important as you." ”
Meng Xilan stared at him and said, "Your Majesty, those who want to murder the concubines and the crown prince are in this court!" can make such a big disturbance in the capital, they will not be outsiders. ”
When she said this, Zhou Youchen thought of it early.
"That's why I'm going to hang them."
If he goes back now, the ministers will surely come up and ask for advice. He can't do it without an attitude.
"You still have someone in your hand, let's interrogate him."
When Meng Xilan saw him say this, she also felt that it was okay.
Half an hour later, the people of the Meng Mansion came.
Meng Xizhao and Qiao Huiyun hurriedly arrived, followed by Meng Xiran and Zhou Youning.
When Qiao Huiyun came, she kept crying, crying so much that her eyes were red.
Although Meng Xizhao's expression was still calm, his eyes were already panicked.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang......"
Meng Xilan had already sent someone to send a message to the Meng Mansion as soon as possible.
Meng Qingyun is fine for the time being. However, as parents, how can they not worry.
Meng Xilan got up to greet her, looked at her brother and eldest sister-in-law, and said with a guilty expression: "Big brother and sister-in-law, it is the palace that has affected Brother Yun today." ”
Qiao Huiyun said with tears in her eyes: "Niangniang, the concubine wants to see Brother Yun......"
Brother Yun is her eldest son, and he is her most distressed and favorite child.
Even if he just hurt his hair and skin, she, as a mother, felt like a knife.
Meng Xilan hurriedly asked Baozhu to arrange for her to go to the side hall, Meng Xizhao should be a man, it was inconvenient to enter and leave the harem, so she could only stay in the palace and wait for news.
Zhou Youning saluted Zhou Youchen and Meng Xilan, said a few more words, and then followed.
Meng Xizhao and Meng Xiran looked at their sister who was safe and sound, and they were both relieved.
Rumors have spread in the city, and it is said that the situation was very critical and chaotic, and that many people were killed and wounded......
