Chapter 506: Draw your hand in time
Dark Night Hall...... It is impossible for Nangong Qing not to know how powerful it is.
Since the establishment of Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, when Nangong Qing was the crown prince, he had also seen many deacons and hall masters of the Dark Night Hall, and knew the power of the Dark Night Hall. Just suddenly heard Luo Qingluan talk about it, Nangong Qing couldn't help but be stunned, and a touch of jealousy flashed in his heart subconsciously.
"Princess Chu is saying that she sent someone from the Dark Night Hall to spy on Zhuang Cairen near Shui'an Palace last night?" Nangong Qing asked casually.
Luo Qingluan didn't notice Nangong Qing's mood, nodded and said: "Yes, I knew in the Queen Mother's palace yesterday that there was a problem with the pot of orchids that Zhuang Cairen gave to the queen's mother, but looking at Zhuang Cairen's appearance, it doesn't look like he knows, in order to lure out the people behind her, we can only continue to wait." But I didn't expect Zhuang Cairen to have an accident last night, otherwise ......"
Otherwise, she would definitely let someone stop Zhuang Yulan's death, and it would be more convenient to learn the truth from her. Because she didn't have any extra orders, she stared at Zhuang Yulan's every move, which led to Zhuang Yulan being killed by the people behind the scenes.
"What did the people of the Dark Night Hall find, who killed Zhuang Cairen?" Nangong Qing felt more and more that things were involved.
"Your Majesty can send someone to bring Zhu Yun, the palace maid of the Tassel Palace, for questioning, and you will know some truths if you think about it."
"Zhu Yun? Or is it from the Tassel Palace, has someone been spying on the queen? ”
Nangong Qing's heart suddenly sank, worried about Su Yilai. He had no impression of this palace maid named Zhu Yun, but he never thought that the people in the Tassel Palace would have spies, Su Yi came from the Tassel Palace, and the people sent were all arranged by him personally, but he didn't expect that someone would still get in.
The anger in his heart rose suddenly, Nangong Qing immediately ordered someone to bring Zhu Yun here, and after a while, a woman of about twenty who looked like she was honest and honest was brought in by the guards.
"See Your Majesty." Zhu Yun looked a little flustered, and when she came in, she knelt on the ground and saluted, vividly expressing the panic brought by the sudden arrival of a palace maid.
Luo Qingluan also learned from the report that the palace maid in front of him, who looked cowardly and timid, was actually the one who killed Zhuang Yulan. I'm afraid that her panic is all pretended, and if she doesn't show her stuffing, she is an ordinary palace maid who can't be ordinary anymore.
Nangong Qing was furious when he looked obedient, and smashed the teacup next to him to the ground with a loud bang: "Say, Zhuang Cairen was killed last night, do you know?" ”
"Zhuang, Zhuang Cairen is dead?" Zhu Yun was shocked, and kowtowed again and again in fright: "Your Majesty, the slave maid and Zhuang Cai have never had any contact, and the slave maid is a person from the Tassel Palace, how can she know about the Shui An Palace?" ”
"Still trying to quibble? Zhuang Cairen was obviously killed by you, who instructed you to do it? If you don't tell the truth, I will let you survive and not die! Say it! ”
"Your Majesty, it really wasn't a slave who did it...... The slave maid has been serving the queen mother with all her heart, and she doesn't dare to be negligent, the slave maid is just a small palace maid, how dare she murder Zhuang Cairen? I beg Your Majesty to be clear! ”
If it weren't for the people sent by Luo Qingluan to see it with their own eyes, they were afraid that when they saw Zhu Yun crying unjustly, they would wonder if they had wronged her. It's just that Nangong Qing was angry and anxious, and he didn't think about it so much at all, he stood up, pointed at Zhu Yun and said angrily: "Okay, do you still dare to quibble at this time?" I asked people to bring you, that is, I have absolute evidence to know that you are the murderer, and I originally wanted to give you a chance to confess and give you a quick death, it seems that you are stubborn, and you will not shed tears when you see the coffin, right? ”
"Someone!"
Nangong Qingqi's face turned pale, and he raised his voice: "Pull her out for me to serve ...... punishment."
At this moment, Luo Qingluan suddenly noticed a flash of murderous intent in Zhu Yun's eyes, and raised her head suddenly, she didn't know when there was a cold dagger in her hand, she suddenly felt bad, and immediately said, "Your Majesty be careful!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yun had already jumped up and stabbed Nangong Qing with a dagger.
"You ......"
Fortunately, Luo Qingluan's reminder was timely, Nangong Qing's eyes lit up, and he lifted it towards Zhu Yun's lower abdomen, and the latter was immediately kicked squarely, and flew out upside down heavily, and when he landed, blood spurted out, and the dagger also fell to the ground.
"Someone, escort, there are assassins!" Sun Dafu, who was waiting on the side, didn't care about it, but now his soul fell out in shock, and he opened his mouth and screamed.
When the guards at the door rushed in, Nangong Qing had already pulled out the long sword he was carrying and aimed it at Zhu Yun, who had fallen to the ground. A group of guards hurriedly rushed in, defending Zhu Yun in groups, and more than a dozen long swords were aimed at her, even if she moved a little, there would be dozens of more holes in the end.
Condescending, Nangong Qing's face turned pale: "Actually stabbed me?" Hmph, you are a cheap, you actually infiltrated the palace to plot against you, who sent you? ”
Zhu Yun fell to the ground, her lips were full of blood, her expression was languishing, and she was dying. She only glanced at Nangong Qing, surrounded by guards, where did she not know what her fate was?
"Don't say it yet? I want to see how hard your bones are, come and take her down and torture her! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yun's whole body jumped up like a carp, and the guards thought that she was going to assassinate again, so they shot out one after another, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen long swords pierced into her body. By the time Luo Qingluan reacted, Zhu Yun's whole body was already drenched in blood, and he couldn't die anymore.
The air was suddenly filled with a strong smell of blood, Luo Qingluan suddenly felt her stomach churning, and strong nausea surged up, she quickly covered her mouth and turned her head, and tried her best to control it, so it was easy to suppress this feeling of wanting to vomit.
Dai Yue had already seen that her body was cold, but she still held Luo Qingluan's hand tightly, seeing her so uncomfortable, Dai Yue was very anxious: "Miss, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" ”
Hurriedly brought the tea next to him and handed it over, Luo Qingluan took it and took a sip, and the feeling of boredom in his heart disappeared completely.
It was not until this time that Nangong Qing discovered the situation on Luo Qingluan's side, he asked people to take Zhu Yun's body down with a straight face, and Sun Dafu hurriedly asked someone to clean up the ground. After Nangong Qing and Luo Qingluan came out of the warm pavilion and changed the nearby study, he showed a sense of frustration.
I thought that after getting the news of Luo Qingluan, I would be able to find out what was going on, but I didn't expect that this palace maid would rather die than say anything, and dare to assassinate him!
Sitting on the dragon chair heavily, Nangong Qing had a headache, looking at Luo Qingluan's pale face who was also frightened, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Princess Chu, are you okay?" What happened just now......"
"I was careless, I didn't expect her to assassinate His Majesty. In fact, she should have been prepared a long time ago, after all, she even killed Zhuang Cairen without hesitation, and when her life was at stake, it was reasonable for her to suddenly burst out and hurt people. ”
Luo Qingluan shook her head and said that she was fine, she didn't want Nangong Qing and anyone else to know that she was pregnant, after all, it was an eventful time now, and it was better to have more than less. Thinking of the situation just now, she also had palpitations, after all, she didn't know martial arts, if it weren't for Nangong Qing's good skills, she was afraid that the palace maid named Zhu Yun would suddenly make a move, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
"It's a pity, it would be nice if I was vigilant, now that the palace maid is dead, and the person behind her has also broken the clue, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to find out." Nangong Qing was very depressed.
Something suddenly flashed in his heart, and Luo Qingluan suddenly said: "If Your Majesty wants to continue to investigate, it's not impossible, as long as you hide the death of the palace maid and say to the outside world that she is tortured and interrogated, Your Majesty thinks about it, will the people behind her worry about her confession, so they send someone to assassinate her?" ”
Nangong Qing suddenly said: "Yes, this is also a remedy!" Come! ”
He immediately called Sun Dafu, strictly ordered the spread of what had just happened, and ordered Luo Qingluan to go down according to Luo Qingluan's suggestion, and let someone find a prisoner like Zhu Yun to replace him, just waiting for the person behind the scenes to fall into the net.
Luo Qingluan is not too sure whether it will succeed or not, but now he can only give it a try.
When he came out of the palace and returned to the Chu Palace, Luo Qingluan was inevitably complained by Dai Yue for a long time: "Miss, if you are like this again, the slave and maid really can't control you." When the king of Chu comes out and knows that you are nosy and don't take care of yourself, he will definitely punish the slave and maid severely. Miss doesn't have to intercede with the slave maid, just let the king of Chu beat my slave to death, who let the slave and maid say that Miss can't move, huh? ”
Today's incident was too scary, and Luo Qingluan also knew that he was too careless, so much so that he almost had an accident.
Even if the palace maid didn't stab herself, the bloody scene was not what she should watch as a pregnant woman at all. At that time, she was tumbling in her abdomen and almost vomited, if she watched this kind of thing a few more times, there would be a shadow in her heart, and it would be bad for the future growth and development of the fetus.
Feeling ashamed, Luo Qingluan was very embarrassed, took Dai Yue's hand and said, "I know that Dai Yue cares about me, but things have come to this point, can I ignore them halfway......
"What's not to do!"
Dai Yue said confidently: "No matter what happened to the queen mother, young lady, you have done enough for her, protecting the queen mother is Your Majesty's business, what does it have to do with young lady?" What's more, you are pregnant now, the most important thing is to take care of yourself, if there is a problem with the child in your womb, won't Miss regret it? ”
"I know that the child is the most important thing, and now that Nalan Ye is away, I should take care of myself. Daiyue, don't be angry, I'll be careful in the future, okay? I can fully empathize with her thoughts, and Luo Qingluan is also a little scared today.
What if the assassin didn't assassinate Nangong Qing, but instead pounced on her? Is she still hiding?
Even if she dodges it, it is inevitable to bump into it, can she absolutely protect herself? Luo Qingluan couldn't imagine that if she had a fetal gas because of the investigation of the person behind the scenes, then she would really regret it for the rest of her life, but she was afraid that Nalan would blame herself in pain when she came back.
"Miss." Dai Yue vented two sentences, and knew that she was a little emotional just now, and her tone softened: "I was in a hurry just now, but I was really worried about you." Since Your Majesty already knows that there is no problem with the plum cake I made, then Miss, you have also cleared your suspicions, and you should leave the queen's matter alone, right? ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Luo Qingluan finally made a decision: "Okay, just say that I am sick, unwell, and can't work, if Your Majesty or someone else talks about this matter again, you can help me go back." ”
Sure enough, but on the third day, Nangong Qing sent someone to look for Luo Qingluan, saying that he really waited in prison for the person behind the curtain who intended to kill the secret, and successfully captured it, and wanted Luo Qingluan to discuss. Dai Yue had already been instructed, and said to Sun Dafu that Princess Chu was too frightened last time, and she was sick and couldn't enter the palace. Sun Dafu also smelled the smell of medicine residue deliberately prepared by Dai Yue, and he didn't suspect him, so he went back to his life.
The next day, Nangong Qing sent someone to send a lot of precious supplements for Luo Qingluan to recuperate, and he really didn't come to her again.
For a while, Luo Qingluan stayed away from this matter for a while, and finally had the opportunity to recuperate in the mansion with peace of mind. After a while, another month passed, and the batch of winter clothes in the hands of Mrs. Sun's Yang, who had been in contact with her, was finally ready and waiting to be sold.
