Chapter 221: The Emperor's Assassination

Upstairs, Xiyin helped Ruan Cailing spread a thick blanket to ensure that Ruan Cailing would not feel uncomfortable lying down, Gu Jinxi said, "I still have something to do in Tianji Pavilion, you take care of Ruan Ruan." ”

"Okay."

When Ruan Cailing woke up, Xiyin was sitting near the railing and looking down, munching on melon seeds.

Lifting the quilt and sitting up, Xiyin heard the voice and glanced back, "Yo, woke up?" ”

"How long did I sleep?" Ruan Cailing asked Xiyin.

It has been about two hours since Gu Jinxi sent Ruan Cailing here, Xiyin calculated, according to the extent that Ruan Cailing can sleep now, there are indeed not as many hours as she is asleep this day, Xiyin walked over and pulled Ruan Cailing up from the ground.

"Do you have something to tell me?" Xiyin asked.

Ruan Cailing took a sip of tea to sober up, and was stunned for a while before remembering what she was going to say to Xiyin, she rubbed her eyebrows, very anxious, "The more you sleep, the more stupid you become, Uncle Long has to hurry up and develop the antidote for me." ”

About this thousand days of drunkenness, Xiyin knows best.

The previous minister used a thousand days to get drunk and kill Xiyin's senior brother, but Xiyin's senior brother looked sluggish when he was surrounded by more than a dozen masters, and was finally pierced through the chest by a sword, Xiyin saw this scene when he arrived, although the group of people were killed by Xiyin.

But the senior brother didn't come back.

"You find someone to go to start a family, Pan'er doesn't have a problem, after all, he doesn't know martial arts, and he can't go to many places, you have to go to find evidence of collusion between the family and the Lin family at the beginning, and now Xie Qingyuan." Ruan Cailing said to Xiyin.

Xiyin nodded, "No problem." ”

Still snorting melon seeds, Xiyin said, "Your itinerary to Jiangnan has been decided, but in your situation, I am afraid that you will have to endure hardships on the road." ”

"It's fine." Ruan Cailing said.

It was precisely because she was drunk for a thousand days, and the plague in the border city was really powerful, so Ruan Xuchen and Ruan Cailing decided to take Meng Tianlong with them to take care of Ruan Cailing's condition, and Meng Tianlong also had to see what the situation of the people who saw the plague before they could be treated.

Here, waiting for Xie Qingyuan to send back the news, he was a little passive after all.

"I heard that Xie Qingyuan has already set off for his return." Xiyin said.

Ruan Cailing paused with the hand holding the teacup, and then sneered, "Does he dare not come back?" has just married the county lord of Anyang, if either Ning Lu or Shen Yunyun said something that should not be said in front of Anyang, I am afraid that he will not be able to pass the level of King Ping! ”

"Use a woman to hit Xie Qingyuan? Will it work? ”

There is no other way, now Xie Qingyuan is in the limelight, almost surpassing Wen Rushi, who has made Xie Qingyuan's official position.

Ruan Cailing returned to the Dingguo Mansion after it was dark, but she didn't think that someone was already waiting for her on the roof of the Sihua Building, maybe because she had slept for too long in the afternoon, but she was not sleepy at this time, she asked Li'er to help her bring some peach blossom drunk and drink in the main hall.

In the night, riding the moonlight, Ruan Cailing drank alone.

"It's cold at night, so it's better to drink less cold wine."

With the sound of stepping on the dead branches and falling leaves, Mu Yizuo stood in a dark robe with her hands in her hands, and the cold white moonlight sprinkled on Ruan Cailing's legs along Mu Yizuo's shoulders, and she looked sideways at the shelves near the entrance of the main hall.

It was all the treasure jade she found from all over the country, and there were also Gu Jinxi who gave it to her.

Ruan Cailing held a small and delicate wine glass in her hand, and the mouth of the cup was decorated with a faint gold dust, and Ruan Cailing's lipgrease was stuck to it, Ruan Cailing did not turn her head sideways to look at Mu Yizuo, but said, "The third prince came late at night, wouldn't it be to ask the courtiers for wine?" ”

"Hehe, if you want, I can drink all the wine from your Dingguo Mansion."

He suddenly stepped forward and snatched her wine glass from Ruan Cailing's hand, facing the moonlight, he could see the wine inside through the pure jade cup, Mu Yizuo did not contaminate the wine glass, but drank it all.

Ruan Cailing's eyes showed a hint of cold light, and her eyes stared at Mu Yizuo's back.

"Say, what are you doing here?" Ruan Cailing asked.

Mu Yizuo didn't joke with Ruan Cailing anymore, and sat down directly next to Ruan Cailing, "An hour ago, my father was assassinated, and the assassin was killed by the Praetorian Guards who rushed in, but my father was frightened because of this, and it took a long time for the imperial doctor to stabilize my father's condition. ”

The emperor was assassinated!

Ruan Cailing was startled, and the hand that was pouring the wine also stopped, the peach blossom drunk spilled out along the wine glass, Mu Yizuo snatched the wine jug from Ruan Cailing's hand, Ruan Cailing came back to her senses, she said, "The palace is an assassin, why do you still have time to come out?" Are you here for my big brother, or are you here for me? ”

"Coincidentally, I came to the two sons and wanted to discuss the matter, but neither of them was there." Mu Yizuo said.

The eldest brother has not come back Ruan Cailing knows, when leaving Yanhua Building, Xiyin also said that Gu Jinxi went to Tianji Pavilion, it seems that there is something to solve, at this time, the two sons are not in the capital, only one Ruan Cailing is left, no wonder Mu Yizuo is still here at this time.

Ruan Cailing said, "What did the assassin say before he died? ”

Mu Yizuo has a headache about this matter.

Before the assassin was killed, Mu Yichen and Mu Yizuo both rushed to the emperor's bedroom, but when the assassin couldn't say a word before he died, he kept pointing at Mu Yizuo with his bloodstained hand.

He had already seen the doubts in the emperor's eyes.

"The emperor is suspicious of you, but you are still coming out at this time, didn't you tell the emperor clearly, are you suspicious!" Ruan Cailing slapped her left hand on the seat and shouted at Mu Yizuo.

Originally, there were Li'er and Meizi standing at the door, Mu Yizuo was silent when he came, and when he heard Ruan Cailing's voice, they didn't know what was wrong, so they could only hurry over to take a look.

When they saw Mu Yizuo sitting next to Ruan Cailing, the two maids were stunned.

"See the Third Prince, Your Highness Wan'an."

Mu Yizuo glanced at Ruan Cailing, who stabilized his mood, Ruan Cailing took a deep breath and said to the two people who were kneeling on the ground and saluting, "You guys should retreat first, and Li'er will help me pour two pots of wine." ”

"Yes."

The news of the emperor's assassination has already reached the homes of the ministers at this time, Ruan Cailing looked at the direction of Jinse Pavilion and thought, "You are here to remind me and let my father be careful?" ”

This time it was obvious that before the assassin died, he was trying to transfer the emperor's suspicion from Mu Yichen's body to Mu Yizuo, so that the family that helped Mu Yizuo would definitely suffer, Ruan Cailing rolled her eyes and said to Mu Yizuo, "In the middle of the night, you better go back quickly, if the emperor goes to your palace to look for you, but no one is seen, he will definitely be more suspicious, don't worry, I will tell my father and my eldest brother." ”

Mu Yizuo didn't have the joking look he had before, nodded, and reached out to cover Ruan Cailing's slightly cold palm, "Be careful in everything." ”

"Well, you too."

After this period of time, Ruan Cailing believes that Mu Yizuo must have let go of himself, there is just friendship between them, and if the third prince wants to inherit the throne, he will definitely go through a lot of hardships.

As long as she is an enemy with Mu Yichen, she is her friend.

Ruan Cailing saw it very simply.

This night, Rao is Ruan Cailing was drunk for a thousand days and slept unsteadily, Ruan Xuchen came back early in the morning, just to accompany Ruan Su and Ruan Qi for breakfast, it is rare that Ruan Cailing also came.

In fact, Ruan Cailing couldn't get up, she told Li'er before going to bed, no matter what, she must call her up at breakfast, she was going to Jinse Pavilion and had something to tell her father.

"I've been seeing you fall asleep lately, aren't you feeling well?" Ruan Sushi looked at Ruan Cailing's face was not good, but some asked.

Before Ruan Cailing came, she specially asked Li'er to help her make up, and after dressing up a little, she didn't look so pale, but Ruan Sushi saw Ruan Cailing yawning for a while, and she didn't look like she had woken up.

Ruan Cailing said, "No, it's just too late to read the account book, there are a lot of things to prepare before going to Jiangnan, and there are also affairs I want to preside over over at Yanhua Building, by the way." ”

She suddenly turned colored.

"Big brother, in the middle of the night last night, the emperor was assassinated."

"What!"

"What did you say?"

Ruan Xuchen and Ruan Qi were shocked.

Facing the surprised looks of the two, Ruan Cailing's heavy eyes also became worried, she nodded and said, "Mu Yizuo deliberately left the palace in the middle of the night last night and came to tell me the news, just to make you be careful when you go to court today, he is afraid that he will be blamed." ”

She told her family about the assassination of the emperor and the assassin pointing to Ruan Xuchen before he died, Ruan Sushi put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and looked at Ruan Qi worriedly, "Master, then this ......"

"It's okay, even if the emperor is suspicious of the three princes, there must always be evidence, and you can't listen to an assassin's words of checkmate." Ruan Qi said.

Although he said so, looking at Ruan Qi's appearance, he didn't seem to be sure.

"In that case, then I'll go into the palace with my father, and I'll ask the third prince what the situation is." Ruan Xuchen said.

Ruan Qi nodded, "It's okay, then Ling'er, don't run around today, guard your mother at home, I'm afraid, someone with a heart will take advantage of this opportunity." ”

"Okay."

Many people in the court are staring at the Dingguo Mansion, and now, the two princes of the Dingguo Mansion and the Xuanwang Mansion are on the side of the three princes, and if something happens to the three princes, there will definitely be people who want to take the opportunity to pull the palace and the Dingguo Mansion off the horse.

"You guys are careful, and if you encounter any difficulties, let people spread the news." Ruan Cailing sent Ruan Xuchen and Ruan Qi to the door, watched the two of them get into the carriage, and then went home.

Ruan Sushi was also watching from a short distance, and when Ruan Cailing came back, he saw Ruan Sushi's worried look.

"Okay, mother, don't worry, my father and eldest brother know it in their hearts, besides, the emperor won't be so ridiculous, just rely on an assassin to directly convict Mu Yizuo." Ruan Cailing said.

Ruan Sushi took Ruan Cailing's hand and said, "Fortunately, you didn't promise to marry the prince, otherwise, my mother would really be worried about death." ”
