Chapter 135: Gonggong Liu is assassinated
Father-in-law Liu glanced at the cabinet gently, and then took out some things from the mezzanine.
"Take a closer look, after you leave, I will burn it!" Liu Gonggong handed the things to Liu Li and said softly: "Tonight, I will tell you everything, except for the secret I promised to keep!"
"Why do you want to change your mind?" Liu Li followed casually, but he didn't dare to look at it.
Father-in-law Liu glanced at Liu Li gently, with endless softness and kindness in his eyes, which was the warmth that could heal everything.
"Just look, don't be afraid of what threatens me. If anything happens, it's all my choice. In the harem, no one can threaten me!"
Liu Li was stunned, looked at the old and new things in his hand, and felt a burst of panic in his heart.
Will all this surprise him? Will it have something to do with the Queen Mother?
Seeing Liu Li's hesitation, Gonggong Liu smiled and helped him take out a few things, as if he was helping him make a decision.
"There are portraits of the emperor and your mother, you can take a look! Everything else is the answer to your doubts, but there is no naked truth. In fact, the truth is just a thing that varies from person to person, you can measure it yourself!"
After listening to Gonggong Liu's words, Liu Li suddenly relaxed a lot, presumably Gonggong Liu didn't give him anything unsightly.
"Your mother and father are very kind, very kind to people, and very fond of calligraphy and painting. Helplessly, the harem is a harem after all, and the two of them can't drive this dignified atmosphere, they can only be murdered by such a dark and complex human heart. Kind-hearted people, although they may not have a good death, can be worthy of their hearts and happy for a lifetime. That's why I've been emphasizing that you have to stick to it, and that's what your parents have asked me to do!"
Liu Li nodded while watching, quickly obtaining information, the old and vivid truth made his heart throb.
"So, my biological mother is a good concubine? she is well-behaved and beautiful, and she is very suitable for my father!"
"Yes, the former emperor and Concubine Liang were very affectionate, and they were envious of others, which also made many concubines dissatisfied with this. However, don't pursue this, it's all in the past!"
"Then, what about Concubine Liang?"
Gonggong Liu shook his head, "Concubine Liang left earlier than the first emperor, so you were raised by the queen mother, not only because of my edict of the first emperor!"
"I see, so why did they die young?"
Gonggong Liu was stunned, didn't dare to look at Liu Li, just sighed, and thought: I'm sorry, I can't say it! Although I have been ashamed of the emperor, I still have to stick to my original intention!
"The hearts of people in the deep palace are unpredictable, and things are even more weird. Just like Concubine Shu, there are many strange things!"
"However, you can only solve the confusion and not know all the truth! The important part, the central reason, are all skipped, don't you know it very well?"
"I ......" Liu Gongcheng was thinking about it, and was suddenly pushed by Liu Li.
"Father-in-law Liu, let's go!" Liu Li said, took out the fan on his waist, and fought with a few men in black.
Five black-clothed people came in the house, presumably Gao Hai alone did not guard the outside. The five of them all had amazing tricks and were very violent, wanting to assassinate Gonggong Liu and the emperor, and showed no mercy to any of them.
Liu Li unfolded the folding fan and protected Liu Gonggong behind him. "Gonggong Liu, you will leave first later! these people can't help me!"
"Your Majesty, you go first! I'm afraid your whereabouts have been revealed, and I'm a person with a secret palm, so I can't die well!"
Before the two could finish speaking, a man in black interrupted: "Don't talk about it, you will all die tonight!"
Liu Li was stunned and sighed: "With such a high level of kung fu, it turned out to be a female assassin!"
A man in black chuckled and shouted dissatisfiedly, "So what? Who says women are inferior to men?"
The five of them went together, Liu Li protected Liu Gonggong behind him with one hand, and fought back with a fan in the other. Although there are many people on the other side, they can't match Liu Li's agile posture and strong folding fan, and three people have been injured in a short time.
"I didn't expect you to have some kung fu!"
The remaining two black-clothed men glanced at each other, took out their hidden weapons and threw them at Liu Li. Liu Li took Liu Gonggong to the left, and blocked a hidden weapon with a folding fan.
"Shameless junior, who sent you?" Liu Li took the folding fan and glared angrily.
"Hmph, do you still ask when you are dying?" said a man in black, and made a secret signal to retreat.
Liu Li was puzzled, the five had dispersed, and only a cloud of smoke remained.
Before long, black smoke had shrouded the house, making it difficult to see inside and outside.
"Your Majesty, let's go!" Liu Gonggong urged Liu Li.
Liu Li replied in a low voice: "They will come again, you have to be careful!"
After saying that, Liu Li suddenly heard the sound of a flying sword, and immediately pushed Liu Gonggong away.
A strong assassin rushed over, and his agile posture looked like he had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and the tricks and swordsmanship also revealed that his identity was a person from the rivers and lakes.
Liu Li was entangled by this person, and from time to time he had to pay attention to whether Liu Gonggong was fine. This person's swordsmanship is amazing, like a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't know why he wants to assassinate here.
Liu Li saw that she was a woman and knew the tricks of Xihai Mansion, so he showed mercy and just defeated her to the ground.
"Let's go, don't make trouble!" Liu Li said, looking at the woman's figure, and thought: Why did this lone traveler in the rivers and lakes come......?
Before Liu Li could think clearly, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind, and was about to take out a fan, but was pushed by Liu Gonggong.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Gonggong Liu stood in front of Liu Li, and at this time, Gao Hai also rushed in.
Gonggong Liu was hit by a hidden weapon in the chest, and black and purple blood immediately flowed out of the wound, and his expression was also painful.
Seeing this, Liu Li had murderous intentions towards that person, but Gao Hai wanted to stay alive.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute!"
"Why? I want her to try this!"
Before Liu Li could make a move, he saw that the woman had fainted to the ground, and He Yu didn't know when she stood in the house.
"Xihai noble, you?" Gao Hai looked at the woman and found that she was dead, and couldn't help but be angry.
He Yu lowered his head and whispered, "I'm afraid that she will hurt people again, and doesn't the emperor want to kill him?"
Liu Li was stunned, looked at He Yu and said, "Don't talk about that, you came just in time, come and see Gonggong Liu!"
He Yu immediately came over, checked the wound for Liu Gonggong, and then rescued him on the spot.
At this time, Gonggong Liu had already fainted, and some thoughts appeared in He Yu's heart: The situation was not what I thought, fortunately I came early! However, this person is so important, I can't miss him!
"Your Majesty, this is a poison dart! please let someone go to the Autumn Cutting Pavilion to get my medicine box!"
Liu Li nodded, "Gao Hai, go and come back quickly!"
Gao Hai glanced at He Yu dissatisfied, turned around and walked out of the door, and ran towards the Cutting Autumn Pavilion at great speed.
"Your Majesty, you can help me get the brightest candlestick!"
Liu Li answered, and immediately got up and walked to the opposite side to get it.
He Yu looked at Liu Li, and then quietly took out a needle and took some blood from Liu Gonggong.
"Am I holding this candlestick like that?"
He Yu nodded, took off the silver hairpin and burned it on the candlestick, and then opened his clothes for Gonggong Liu.
After looking at it, He Yu took out the medicine bottle on his waist, sprinkled some on the silver hairpin, and probed into the wound. I saw Gonggong Liu frowning and coughing up some blood.
At this time, many palace people had already arrived. Liu Li didn't let the Imperial Doctor in, nor did he let the assassin's corpse clean up on the ground.
Liu Li took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, and had already put those things in his sleeve and packed up the scene.
Looking at the palace people who were visiting outside, Liu Li said angrily: "If it weren't for the queen mother, no one would be allowed to come in!"
"The mourning family is coming!"
As soon as the words fell, the Queen Mother walked in alone and coldly. Her face showed an irresistible domineering and arrogant attitude, but Liu Li could find a little eagerness, sadness, worry and discomfort in her eyes.
"Queen Mother, Gonggong Liu was seriously injured by the assassin, and now he has fainted!"
The Queen Mother walked up to Gonggong Liu angrily and looked at He Yu coldly. "You must cure him, this is a former courtier!"
"Yes!"
After that, the Queen Mother looked at Liu Li dissatisfied, and her anger made her face ugly.
"Why is the emperor here, and why are these assassins here?"
Liu Li came back to his senses and no longer thought about the queen mother's strange appearance.
"I came to visit Grandpa Liu, and he said he had good tea. Chatting, I don't know why these assassins are here!"
"Yes, why is Gonggong Liu injured?"
"These assassins are insidious and ruthless, and I can't resist them. Father-in-law Liu is here to save me......"
Liu Li replied like this, feeling very uncomfortable, and all his thoughts pointed to the Queen Mother. "It's the wicked man who sues first, who can command the assassins of Xihai Mansion? That's it! Don't you even let go of Gonggong Liu? He is obviously defending you everywhere, and he hasn't said anything about you at all!"
The Queen Mother did not give up and asked angrily. Her eyes were red all around her, and no one knew if it was because of eagerness or worry.
"What are you talking about? Why are the Assassins at this time? Is this all too strange?"
Liu Li was stunned, "The queen mother is suspicious of me?"
