Nangong Jinchen was concentrating on dealing with the secret guard in front of him, so he didn't notice it.

But Concubine Jing felt it, she suddenly pushed Nangong Jinchen away with all her strength, and the sharp arrow pierced her heart directly from behind.

Nangong Jinchen watched this scene blankly, Concubine Jing's eyes were dilated, she spurted a mouthful of blood, and then fell down softly.

Du Zhong also noticed the situation here, and while fighting, he looked like the Praetorian Guards next to him, and asked them to protect Nangong Jinchen.

Immediately, several Praetorian Guards came to protect them.

A few more arrows were fired outside, but they were blocked by the Praetorian Guard.

"Mother!" Nangong Jinchen suddenly roared like a mad lion, and hurriedly squatted down and hugged Concubine Jing in her arms.

He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the blood stains on Concubine Jing's mouth, and his voice trembled a little: "Mother, hold on, I'll take you to heal." ”

Concubine Jing gently tugged at his sleeve and said with difficulty: "Don't, I know, I ...... I can't live, I can ...... I'm glad to see you again...... Contentment. ”

"No, Mother, you'll be fine, you'll be fine. Don't you yearn for freedom? I'll take you out. ”

Nangong Jinchen's eyes were scarlet, and she picked up Concubine Jing and walked out of the hall.

"Mother, don't be afraid, you'll be fine." Nangong Jinchen's face turned a little pale, but she endured the pain in her heart and comforted her mother in her arms, and even comforted herself.

At this time, the dark guard had been dealt with by the Praetorian Guard, so no one stopped him.

Concubine Jing was lying in Nangong Jinchen's arms, and the blood on her chest dyed her white shirt blood-red, like a red lotus blooming on a snow-capped mountain, glowing with demonic light.

Concubine Jing saw that her son, who had always been as indifferent as a fairy, was so out of shape at this moment, she endured the chest pain, and was angry: "Jinchen, don't ...... Don't be sad, I'm ...... to see you No regrets. It's just that later, you have to ...... Be good...... Live well. Look for...... Find a good woman for the rest of your life...... Peaceful...... Joy ......"

Her hand hung limply.

Nangong Jinchen paused, looked down at the person in his arms, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to have lost his breath.

He slowly crouched down and sniffed softly, not breathing.

He was stunned, as if he couldn't believe the scene in front of him, and called, "Mother." ”

No one answered him.

He raised his voice again.

There was still no one to answer him.

Nangong Jinchen knelt down involuntarily with her legs, and raised her head to the sky and shouted: "Mother! ”

People who have always been cold and affectionate shed hot tears for the first time, and their eyes were sad.

Why? Why do this to him?

Why did he leave his mother just now, and why?

With trembling hands, he hugged Concubine Jing tightly in his arms, as if to warm her cooling body so that his mother could wake up.

Then looked at the bloodstains on Concubine Jing's face, but it was very dazzling.

He directly wiped Concubine Jing with his snow-white sleeves, and he was not too dirty.

He had lost his mind.

At this time, Nangong Jinheng came.

Seeing that the palace of the former ** seemed to have become a hell on earth at this moment, with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood, and Nangong Jinchen knelt on the ground with Concubine Jing in his arms, no longer looking like he used to be, he pretended to be frightened.

But when he saw Nangong Yue Peng on the dragon chair, his eyes were also distracted, his face was pale, and he seemed to have been scared stupid.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why did his father have such an expression?

The Praetorian Guard killed the last secret guard, Du Zhong wiped the blood on his face, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has not failed in his mission, the assassin has been killed, Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

But when he saw Nangong Yue Peng, his chest was rising and falling violently, and his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, "You...... Burst. ”

Nangong Yue Peng was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Nangong Jinheng was startled and exclaimed, "Father! ”

Then he instructed his attendants: "Go and pass the imperial doctor!" ”

Du Zhong didn't seem to see his anger, and added fuel to the fire: "Your Majesty should take good care of your body, the minister knows that Your Majesty is frightened, so he ordered someone to carry the assassin out." ”

As soon as Du Zhong waved his hand, several Praetorian Guards immediately stepped forward to dispose of the corpse.

Only then did Du Zhong turn his head to look at Nangong Jinheng, stepped forward and saluted, "See His Royal Highness the Prince." Today, when the six princes returned to the palace, they thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should come to see the six princes, but he let His Royal Highness see such a bloody and tragic situation, and asked His Highness to forgive his sins. ”

Nangong Jinheng was stunned by the scene in front of him, his pupils suddenly dilated, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, could it be that these corpses were not Nangong Jinchen's people, but his father's people? Then Du Zhong, didn't he take refuge in Nangong Jinchen?

At this time, Nangong Jinchen gently put Concubine Jing on the ground and slowly got up, as if she had regained her senses.

He glanced at Du Zhong.

Du Zhong immediately understood, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, since the assassin has been dealt with, then Weichen will retire." ”

"Stop!" Nangong Yue Peng roared angrily.

Du Zhong stopped and asked suspiciously, "I don't know what else Your Majesty has to order?" ”

Nangong Yue Peng gritted his teeth and said, "Du Zhong, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, you dare to betray me with the Praetorian Guard?" ”

"Betrayal? Your Majesty forgives the sin, but the minister does not know what His Majesty means by this. The minister brought the Praetorian Guards to come today, because he heard that His Majesty's Qiande Palace had entered the assassins, so he rushed to the rescue. Du Zhong knelt down straight, clenched his fists and explained.

Nangong Jinheng opened his mouth and said, "Assassin? These are all the secret guards of the father, don't Commander Du know? ”

"What did Your Highness say?" Du Zhong seemed to be extremely frightened, and suddenly turned his head to look at Nangong Jinheng, "These are the royal secret guards?" However, when the minister came recently, he saw that these people were attacking the six princes and Concubine Jing, and they were ruthless. Since it is His Majesty's people? Why are they doing this? Moreover, the six princes have been traveling abroad for many years, and they only returned to the palace today, so it is too late to think that His Majesty is rare, how can he order to be killed? ”

Du Zhong grasped Nangong Yue Peng's temperament of caring about fame very well.

Sure enough, although Nangong Yue Peng wanted to defend a few words, he still had to grit his teeth and said, "Du Qing is right, these people are indeed ...... Assassin, rescued by Commander Laud. ”

Du Zhong saw Nangong Yue Peng's angry appearance in his heart, and he suddenly felt happy in his heart, "Your Majesty has tormented the minister, it is the duty of the minister to protect Your Majesty, if Your Majesty has nothing to order, the minister will retire." ”

Nangong Yue Peng almost spurted blood again, but in the end, he nodded slightly and let Du Zhong withdraw.

At this time, Nangong Jinchen turned his head to look at Nangong Yue Peng, his eyes were frighteningly red.

"The mother concubine is gone, and you, father, will no longer have any bargaining chips to threaten me." Nangong Jinchen said lightly, but the tone was chilling.

The extremely cold eyes, as well as the tyrannical aura emanating from his body, even Nangong Yue Peng, a person in a high position, couldn't help but shiver.

Now that Concubine Jing is dead, even the Praetorian Guard, who has always been loyal to the emperor, has quietly taken refuge in him, and I don't know how many people in the court have been installed by him, so I can't fight with him for the time being.

Nangong Yue Peng tried to stabilize his mind and softened his posture, "Jinchen, your mother and concubine were not killed by me, I saw with my own eyes that the arrow came in from the outside." Although I threatened you with her before, I never wanted her to die. After all, she has been with me for so many years. ”

Nangong Jinchen laughed lowly, laughing so much that Nangong Yue Peng's heart was furious.

"Erchen knows that his father didn't want his mother to die, after all, it's still useful for his father to take his mother. It's just that the son wants him to die, I don't know if his father should or shouldn't? A cold light flashed in Nangong Jinchen's eyes, and he suddenly pointed to Nangong Jinheng, who was silent on the side.

Although he was heartbroken, his mind was still clear, and he kept wondering, who shot the arrow?

He believed that it was not Nangong Yue Peng's instructions, because Nangong Yue Peng would indeed not kill his mother at this time.

Until Nangong Jinheng entered the hall, although he looked frightened, he looked a little fake, and he came too late.

Today, no one outside the palace should know about it, because Du Zhong has already sent people to guard outside, and as long as someone passes by the Chengqian Palace, they will be knocked unconscious.

And Nangong Jinheng's martial arts are strong, it is not difficult to avoid a few Praetorian Guards shooting arrows in, and he clearly knows that the arrow is coming towards him.

As for the reason, that is Nangong Jinheng's jealousy of him, when he was in Yanguo, he clearly saw the undisguised ambition in Nangong Jinheng's eyes.

And there are only two or three princes who are still in the capital, all of whom are mediocre and incompetent, but he has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, and he has also been a left minister in Chu State, so his strength is naturally not to be underestimated, so Nangong Jinheng wants to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of his own trouble.

Of course, there may be another reason, and that is dyeing.

Sure enough, Nangong Jinheng's face changed, and his heart was shocked, could he have known so quickly?

Nangong Yue Peng was so angry that he just talked to him kindly, but he didn't appreciate it at all!

He couldn't care so much about it, and pointed at Nangong Jinchen angrily, as if he wanted to stare at him as a skeleton, "You are presumptuous!" Heng'er is the crown prince, and even more so your own brother, why do you have no brotherly morality? ”

"Morality?" Nangong Jinchen sneered, "He killed my mother, why should I talk to him about brotherhood?" ”

"You! What evidence do you have? ”

"I am the proof." Nangong Jinchen said lightly, but what he said was very arrogant.

Nangong Yue Peng's face was already a little distorted, and he almost spit out another mouthful of blood.

And the imperial doctor also came at this time, but Nangong Yue Peng scolded him to go back.

The imperial doctor was very aggrieved in his heart, he heard that His Majesty vomited blood, and immediately ran over, almost breaking his old waist, but he didn't expect to run in vain and was scolded.

However, seeing this scene in the hall and Concubine Jing lying on the ground, he was also frightened in his heart, and hurriedly retreated, for fear that he would be implicated.

"Nangong Jinchen, don't think that if your mother is dead, I can't help you, don't forget, there is still the Ming'an Hou Mansion behind your mother." Nangong Yue Peng gritted his teeth and said.
