Chapter 104: Assassination in the Night

The figure that flashed lightly in the courtyard attracted Jian Xiu's attention, he followed quickly, and only after seeing the back clearly did he know that it was the second brother Blazing Xiu, but the second brother's thief-like voice made Jian Xiu puzzled. Why do you want to go quietly in your own mansion and don't want people to find out, curiosity makes Jian Xiu follow silently.

Walking to the more remote garden, Jian Xiu saw that the second brother came to the vacant house in the mansion, knocked lightly on the door, the door immediately opened, poked out a head, and the person who opened the door pulled Chi Xiu in.

When the door was opened, Jian Xiu saw clearly who was in the house, it was the maid in the house. Yan Rou is the dowry girl of the young grandmother.

What else could the two of them behave like this, Jian Xiu immediately understood that the second brother was actually involved with Yan Rou and had a private meeting in the mansion.

Jian Xiu didn't go up to stop them, nor did he immediately poke at the two of them, and walked away with a gloomy face.

When I came to Zixuan Pavilion, the lights in the house were bright, and it seemed that Ji'er hadn't gone to bed yet. Jian Xiu hesitated, should he take her to the palace tomorrow.

Just as he was hesitating whether to enter or not, Chunlin opened the door and came out, and when he saw him, he was busy saluting, "The fourth young master came to see Miss?" ”

Jian Xiu let out a dull "um" and walked in directly.

The woman in the house was sitting on the kang reading a book, as if she didn't feel sleepy at all, when she saw his appearance, she put down the book, stared at him, and said lightly, "Is there something wrong with me coming to me so late?" ”

Jian Xiu sat down on the kang on her side and looked at Liu Piaoyi, and found that the girl's eyes were burning at her, and her eyes were rolling

, like a twinkling star in a foggy night, hazy

It's mysterious and elusive.

The corners of Jian Xiu's mouth raised a slight smile, and he said lightly, "I just came to see you." ”

Chunlin served tea at this time, glanced at the two of them, and was not clear about Jian Xiu's behavior, he missed it for a day, and he had to take a look before going to bed.

However, after the tea was served, she retreated to the side room without disturbing.

He kept staring at her, which made Liu Piaoyi a little uncomfortable, and said quietly, "Have a cup of tea and go to sleep, it's late at night." ”

Jian Xiu lowered his eyes with a "hmm", and his expression looked like something was wrong, Liu Piaoyi felt it, and groaned, "You have something?" ”

Jian Xiu frowned, stared at her, and said, "Tomorrow, the emperor invites you to visit the palace." ”

He wanted to ask for her own opinion, and tell her how she would decide.

Liu Piaoyi frowned, and said with some resistance: "The emperor's invitation? ”

Jian Xiu nodded, "Yes, but you don't want to go, I can show the emperor tomorrow, just say that you are not feeling well and can't go." ”

Miss Liu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "The emperor invited it, so it's okay to go." ”

She knew that he came to say that it must have been the emperor's decree, and if he didn't go, it would be disrespectful, and for him as a courtier, how could he not listen to the emperor's will.

Jian Xiu looked at her and asked cautiously, "Really go?" ”

He just told her, but he didn't want her to go, and he had already thought about how to deal with the emperor tomorrow, but she said to go.

Miss Liu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "I have never entered the palace yet, how can I not go to see the palace with such a good thing, how many people can't ask for this, I can take a look at it with such an identity, how bad." ”

"I'm here too, you don't have to be afraid, I'll always be by your side."

He told her very honestly that with him, even if that person was the emperor, there was no need to be afraid.

Liu Piaoyi smiled faintly, and his eyes were full of confidence that he would protect himself.

Jian Xiu stood up and said softly, "Then rest early and go with me tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Liu Piaoyi nodded, and the corners of his mouth wiped a faint smile as he watched him leave.

~~~~~~

Thirty miles outside the capital.

"Shizi, do we want to rest?" In the darkness, a black-clothed dark guard rode close to the person walking in the middle and whispered: "Let's go overnight, the brothers are already too tired, this is not too far from the capital, why don't you set up camp here?" ”

"It's fine." The young man nodded and said in a deep voice, "Let our people be vigilant, don't go wrong." ”

"Yes, Shizi!" The dark guard whistled, more than ten

Individuals stopped in an instant, and then all of them

Roll over and dismount and start looking for a place to rest.

"Shizi, we will probably be able to enter Beijing tomorrow." The secret guard handed the dry food in the bag to the man and whispered: "Tomorrow, the prince will still wait outside the capital, and his subordinates will go in first to find out the news, in case this matter is a trap, the prince can also get out of the way." ”

"The other party pointed out that he only saw the son of this world, and you did

It's useless to forget it. The man waved his hand and whispered

said: "Why don't you go in when this son comes to Beijing, it doesn't matter if you go to see the Queen Mother and her old man." ”

Dark Guard said, "But the prince, you are not allowed to enter Beijing without a summons, and the prince still brings us and other government soldiers to come, which will cause the royal family to be suspicious." ”

The man smiled faintly, "Tomorrow, you can pick two guards to follow this son, and the others will hide their identities outside the city." This Shizi must see that person when he comes this time, to see if he has anything important to say, or is it related to the life and death of my Qianguo Mansion. ”

The Dark Guard replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

The corners of Mo Maoli's mouth hooked up a soft smile, "How can you not enter Beijing when you come to Beijing, this son still has to go to see her." ”

Thinking of her, his heart is rippling, he hasn't seen it for some months, and he misses it a lot.

Mo Maoli raised his eyes and stared at the starry sky, and saw that the moon was excellent, and the day of the full moon was coming.

Just as he looked up at the sky, the secret guard beside him suddenly pulled him over and roared, "There are assassins, be on guard!" ”

Mo Maoli subconsciously turned his head and happened to see himself

A few sharp arrows fell from the place where Fang Cai was, very

Obviously, the other party is coming for him!

Everyone suddenly got up and surrounded Mo Maoli spontaneously

In the middle, look around vigilantly, just beyond

The secret guard who protected Mo Maoli shouted coldly: "Hide your head and show your tail."

Generation, dare to come out to meet? ”

Soon, dozens of black-clothed people came out of the shadows, and the black-clothed people led by them looked at Mo Maoli and said coldly, "The prince can let me wait to find it, and it is not easy to catch up with me after following all the way, how can I let you go tonight!" ”

Mo Maoli glanced at the black-clothed people, and shouted coldly to the black-clothed man who took the lead in speaking, "Who are you, you actually know what the identity of this son is, and you dare to assassinate!" ”

The man in black sneered, "You might as well tell the prince that I am here to avenge Xue Qin." ”

Xue Qin? As soon as he heard the name, Mo Maoli didn't know what was going on.

The other party obviously didn't intend to say anything to Mo Mao Li, but with a wave of his hand, all the men in black pulled out, and soon they were in a scuffle with Mo Mao Li's people.

This time he came to Beijing, Mo Maoli came to see people, and he didn't have many guards, but he didn't expect that the other party was obviously prepared, and the martial arts had casualties on both sides for a while, and the scene was deadlocked for a while.

But these guards of the Qianguo Mansion are not vegetarians, after several battles, in the end, the man in black who suffered the most casualties was the man in black, and he couldn't get out of the trap, the man in black who began to speak glared at Mo Maoli angrily, and threw down a sentence, "Mo Maoli, even if I wait for the killer who spends a lot of money to invite Wushenglou, I will kill you, see you next time, be careful!" ”

These words floated in the mountains and forests, and the few remaining men in black flew away and disappeared into the night.

Mo Maoli's expression was cold, and after the man in black left, he thought about the words left by the man, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

There is no life, but murder and inaction.

However, he smiled stunnedly, how could anyone afford Wushenglou? Those people kill people not only by looking at the silver, but also by who they kill, and his dignified prince of Qianguo has to be considered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a carriage stopped directly outside the noon gate, Jian Xiu and Liu Piaoyi got out of the carriage and walked in. Such a magnificent and magnificent imperial palace is fascinating, dizzying, and for a woman who is not prosperous, she is also shocked by the palace in front of her.

Geometry once thought that a woman from a mountain village would also come to this golden and shining palace.

Seeing the woman's cold face all the way, Jian Xiu secretly held her little hand, and the woman raised her eyes to look at him.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Jian Xiu couldn't help but wrinkle

He frowned and said softly.

Liu Piaoyi smiled faintly at him and did not speak.

At this time, Yu Yue, the inner eunuch, came to greet him, glanced at Liu Piaoyi, smiled at Jian Xiu, and said with his feminine face, "The emperor is waiting in the pavilion of the imperial garden, and my lord, please go with the servants." ”

Jian Xiu smiled, "My father-in-law is tired of leading the way." ”

In the imperial garden, the emperor had already prepared tea and snacks, and was waiting for Miss Liu with joy. He couldn't even sit still, and after seeing the figures of Miss Liu and Jian Xiu appear, as the king of a country, he still calmed down his mood.

Today's women do not deliberately dress up, and they are as simple and elegant as usual, but it is so simple and elegant that the emperor is worried about it after seeing it in Danzhou, and he thinks about it.

The delicate flowers of the Royal Garden are not comparable to the beauty of the woman, as if the woman in this garden is like a beautiful butterfly.

Liu Piaoyu did not lose her etiquette, blessed and courteous, and said lightly, "See the emperor" made Zhu Yijun hurriedly raise her hand and invite her to take a seat like a treasure.

Jian Xiu's face was gloomy, but he didn't show any disrespect.

The emperor waved his hand to sit with him, and he sat down together.

The table in the verandah pavilion is full of all kinds of snacks, and it looks very beautiful. It seems that the emperor put his heart into the palace for Liu Piaoyi's entry into the palace this time, and asked the imperial dining room to make all the snacks that he could make overnight.

The woman's expression was indifferent and she didn't smile much, the emperor wanted to make her feel relieved, and said busily, "Miss Liu doesn't have to worry too much, today I just invite you and Jian Xiu to taste the dim sum in this palace, and I have no other intentions." ”

As it turned out to be the case, Liu Piaoyi also calmly coped with it, and smiled slightly, "The courtiers thank the emperor for his love." ”

The emperor hurriedly said, "Whatever you like, whatever you like, treat me as a friend, don't be restrained." ”

Jian Xiu on the side was respectful and silent.

Liu Piaoyi didn't want to touch anything in the royal family, and it was not rare, but Zhu Yijun introduced the snacks on the table with a smile in order to relax the atmosphere so that she didn't have to be restrained in front of her.

"This is a delicious cake made from osmanthus cake, sugar and honey osmanthus flowers......"

"Mung bean cake, red bean cake ......"

"This is rice cake ......"

"Horseshoe cake ......"

"What do you like to eat, do you like water chestnut cake?"

The Emperor picked up a piece and put it in front of her.

Liu Piao's cold eyes only moved slightly, and he smiled reluctantly, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

thought that no one would disturb the opportunity to meet the beauty this time, but Zhu Yijun didn't expect Concubine Zheng to come.

"Your Majesty, why don't you call your concubines in the imperial garden." Concubine Zheng immediately glanced at Jian Xiu, and smiled at Jian Xiu's eyes, as if there was some tacit understanding between the two.

The emperor sighed lightly in his heart like a headache, but he still smiled softly at Concubine Zheng Guifei on his face.
