Chapter 293: Assassin

Soon, the small courtyard was opened, and a small servant inside came out to greet him.

After Song Mu revealed his identity, he took his subordinates to search, as a general, he wanted to preside over the overall situation.

The strong smell of medicine in the courtyard made Song Mu frown, especially the smell of medicine and blood from the side room, which made Song Mu even more suspicious.

"Inside are several injured guards, someone came to rob last night, and the guards were injured for the sake of protecting the lord." When the little girl saw Song Mu looking over there, he explained with a smile, and he didn't intend to lead the way.

"Take a look with General Ben." Song Mu waved his hand, and a subordinate opened the door for him first.

The moment the door opened, the strong smell of medicine and blood came to the face, and the two officials subconsciously covered their mouths and noses.

"General, it's full of corpses!" An official came and spoke back in a panic.

"Hold him in custody and seal off the inn immediately, and no one will be allowed to go out." Song Mu's face sank, and he looked coldly at the little guy who came to greet them, but when he saw that the other party looked frightened, his doubts were even deeper.

Soon, the searching officials all came back to recover their lives, but they didn't find a single panting alive, except for those who had died, only the little guy was alive.

"Investigate this small courtyard thoroughly to see if there are any secret passages leading to other places." Song Mu glanced at Xiao Wu and the shopkeeper, and saw that both of them looked like they were living in horror, and he couldn't tell if there was a problem with them for a while.

Stepping into the inner room, Song Mu's brows furrowed again.

There were a total of more than a dozen wounded, looking at the degree of bandaging, all of them were seriously injured, but one by one, they all looked like they had been poisoned, and their faces were purple.

But what these dead people have in common is that they did not have any struggle before they died, nor did they still look terrified.

After Song Mu inspected the deceased one by one, he summoned his subordinates and ordered: "Report to Shuntian Mansion immediately, and before someone from Shuntian Mansion takes over, including our men and horses, they are not allowed to leave the inn for half a step." ”

As soon as the guards heard this, they knew the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly took orders to go down to do things.

Palace.

The emperor's rare summoning of the eldest prince into the palace to face the saint made many courtiers discuss, and the news naturally reached Zhou Feng's ears, but Zhou Feng did not inquire about the news.

Or that Zhou Feng deliberately did not inquire about the news, but someone would come to report to him, and the emperor of the province was suspicious.

"Emperor, your father's health is deteriorating, although he refuses to summon the imperial doctor, but it is no secret in this palace. Now the people of the eldest prince are eyeing each other, and today the emperor summoned the eldest prince, I am afraid that he will set off a wave. You have to be cautious to succeed, once the eldest prince really gets your father's power, I'm afraid that our mother and son will be in danger. The queen said with a tired look.

"The queen mother is relieved, my father is not an unassertive person, and my son believes that all the decisions made by my father are for the long-term planning of the Great Zhou Kingdom." As Zhou Feng spoke, his eyes glanced upward.

The queen didn't miss Zhou Feng's look, and she couldn't help but be shocked, but after many years of surviving in the harem, the queen quickly calmed down.

"Did you find out about the assassins last night? Those thieves want to assassinate your father, and this kind of thief will never be tolerated. "The queen changed the subject very matterably.

"Erchen is supervising this matter, and when he came to the palace today, he wanted to ask the queen mother for a few questions, and second, the queen mother was frightened last night, and Erchen was worried." Zhou Feng's concern is not fake.

"The queen mother knows that you are filial, but the big things are important, the safety of your father is the most important, the queen mother is just the master of the harem, life and death will not involve the government, not to mention that there is no shortage of masters in the palace, the emperor does not have to worry." The queen smiled with satisfaction.

"Has the queen mother ever been diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor? In the hearts of the sons, the safety of the father and the queen mother is comparable to the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the sons can not compete for the throne, but they cannot but focus on the safety of the father and the queen mother. Zhou Feng said emotionally.

"Don't worry, the imperial doctor has prescribed tranquilizers for the queen mother, and there is no major problem. It's you, don't work too hard when investigating the case, so many courtiers should also contribute to the court and share the worries of your father. "Queen's Road.

"Erchen was in a hurry to arrest the assassin last night, but he didn't ask Zhaoyang how it was, she has always been timid, but she was injured?" Zhou Feng asked with great concern.

"Zhaoyang was indeed frightened, so the queen mother let her recuperate for a few days, and your father and emperor also sent more people to protect her, and it will be fine." The queen replied, but the laughter was a little reluctant.

Zhou Feng thought that something had happened to Zhou Jin, and hurriedly said: "The minister will go to see Zhaoyang first, and then come to ask the queen mother later." ”

"Emperor." The queen hurriedly called, and when she saw Zhou Feng looking at her puzzled, she pulled out a smile and said: "Zhaoyang has grown up, even if you are her brother, it is not convenient to go to Zhaoyang's palace, it is better to wait for her body to improve, and it is more appropriate to go out of the palace to find you." And the queen mother is also tired, after replying to your questions, the queen mother can also take a break. ”

"Okay." Zhou Feng frowned, but in the end, he didn't look at Zhou Jin because he considered the queen's words.

"Erchen asked the royal forest soldiers on duty last night this morning......" Zhou Jin lowered his voice and asked the queen, wanting to get more clues.

Although the queen is not involved in court politics, she has presided over the middle palace for many years, and she has her own ability and power, and soon gave Zhou Jin some clues that he had not discovered.

The mother and son discussed the assassin, unaware that in the Zhaoyang Palace, Zhou Jin was falling into a nightmare.

Since being grounded by the queen, Zhou Jin has been depressed, and the daily food is also small and worrying, it has only been more than half a month, and he has lost a lot of weight, and he will never see the baby fat he used to be.

And yesterday there was an assassin incident, and the assassin was still passing by Zhaoyang Palace, Zhou Jin was so frightened that he couldn't afford to be sick.

If it weren't for the palace maid who came to serve Zhou Jin to change clothes, Zhou Jin would not have been found to be sick.

"What can I do? The imperial doctor said that the princess was a recruit, but which princess should we go to find the heart medicine? Holly said worriedly.

"These things, it's not for us to be slaves to help the princess, unless it's ......" Ziling was silent for a moment, but she didn't finish her words, but fortunately, Holly's heart was on Zhou Jin, but she didn't ask.

"I'll go and decoct the princess, and I'll leave it to Sister Ziling to take care of here." Holly turned and went to the kitchenette.

"Princess, what's the matter?" Ziling shook her head and sighed, she really didn't know how to enlighten Zhou Jin, so she could only pray in her heart that her master would get better soon.

Poor Zhou Jin didn't know that he had rubbed shoulders with Zhou Feng again, so he could only use this way to numb himself, so that he didn't think about being married to a stranger.

The assassin's affair did not affect the wedding of Song Xingchen's sisters, but it made many people uneasy.

Since ancient times, once the assassination of the emperor occurs, there will always be many innocent people who are implicated, and they are afraid that the officials will make themselves cannon fodder in order to give an account to the emperor.

"Eldest sister, can I come in and talk to you?" Song Xingchen knocked on Song Yue's door, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fearing that the two sisters were worried about the situation outside, the Song family unanimously chose to conceal the two, and at the same time strengthened their vigilance again to prevent those assassins from hiding in the Song family on the happy day.

"What, the little sister is going to get married tomorrow, this is too excited, so came to chat with the eldest sister?" Song Yue was talking with Song Yueya, and when she saw Song Xingchen coming, she immediately teased.

"The second sister is eccentric, but tomorrow the eldest sister and I will marry together, but the second sister will come to accompany the eldest sister and not accompany me, should it be to add makeup to the eldest sister behind my back?" Song Xingchen angrily found a place to sit down, but looking at her demeanor, it didn't look like she was really angry at all.

"You are poor-mouthed, don't say that your second sister has the best relationship with you, that is, you, a little rich woman, can still see the things in our sister's hands?" Song Yueya chuckled.

"Who said I don't like it, the second brother-in-law bought a treasure for the second sister, if it wasn't for my little nephew who said it once, I wouldn't know that the second sister had learned to hide her secrets, and she wouldn't share it with us." Song Xingchen pouted.

When Song Yueyue heard this, she raised her chubby little face to look at Song Yue, but the action of eating did not stop because of this.

Song Yueya also joked, looking at Song Yue with a little smile.

"Eldest sister and third sister, don't listen to the nonsense of the stars, I am reluctant to show you anywhere, it is clearly ......" Song Yue closed her mouth halfway through speaking, and a suspicious flush appeared on her face.

Song Xingchen saw that he was tired, so he hurriedly turned around and sat down next to Song Yue, and said playfully: "I really cheated out, second sister, tell me quickly, what kind of treasure is it?" Let's guarantee that we just take a look, and after a good time, we will definitely not occupy it. ”

"Stinky girl, if you make trouble again, be careful that I tell you all the troubles, and see if you are still embarrassed." Song Yue looked at Song Xingchen threateningly, but refused to share it with her sisters.

"I'm so scared! Eldest sister and third sister, look at it, the second sister threatened me, and the second sister's face turned red, which is too suspicious. Song Xingchen laughed, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly said loudly: "Haha, I guessed, the second brother-in-law must have given the second sister sex toys, otherwise why would the second sister hide it, even if it is a love object, it can be shown." ”

As soon as Song Xingchen's words fell, the three sisters in the room all blushed, and Song March choked and coughed, and drank two cups of tea to feel more comfortable.

Without waiting for Song Yue to get mad, Song Xingchen ran towards the door quickly, shouting: "Second sister, don't do it, I have to put on makeup tomorrow, be careful that my mother cleans you up." ”

"Stinky Nizi, you wait for me." Song Yue threw the pillow out, but the blush on her face still did not subside.

"Lululu." Song Xingchen, who was standing at the door, caught the pillow and made a grimace at Song Yue, seeing that she really wouldn't do anything to herself, she tiptoed back to the house, and said with a smile: "Wait for the second sister, you will generously show us what the second brother-in-law gave you, and I promise not to talk nonsense at that time, otherwise don't blame the little sister for thinking too much." ”

"If you haven't married yet, you dare to say anything, I think you just don't clean up." Song Yue pretended to be annoyed and stood up, rolled up her sleeves and pounced towards Song Xingchen, and the sisters quickly 'fought' into a ball, "Let your mouth owe, see that I don't tickle you." ”

"Second sister, you're a violent maniac! Ha ha...... Don't scratch, the second sister spares her life. Song Xingchen laughed out of breath, and he didn't have the power to fight back at all.

Seeing this, Song Yueya and the two also joined the team one after another, first attacking Song Xingchen and one of them, who liked to hook up when she was fine.

Somehow, the last four of them attacked each other, and the laughter made everyone outside the courtyard hear clearly, and they were infected by the pleasant atmosphere.
