Jing Tian left Changxin Palace with full questions, what she saw today always appeared in front of her eyes, who was the person who was carried out and what did it have to do with the queen, why did that person seem to have been tortured? I have also been to Changxin Palace a few times, why didn't I find anything abnormal.

When did this happen, why are there more guards than usual today, why is there no movement at all in the outside world except for the people from Changxin Palace, could it be that this happened last night, otherwise that person would not be wearing night clothes, could it be that person who wants to assassinate the queen? If this is the case, the entire Chang'an City will be in chaos now, and it is impossible to be so quiet, and there is only one explanation, that is, the queen deliberately blocked the news.

"Yes, it must be so, the queen was assassinated, but she blocked the news, why?" As she walked, she remembered that the queen had said to her, 'If you dare to mention half a word about today's affairs, this palace will not show mercy'.

"Why didn't she tell the emperor about her assassination, but privately mobilized the Royal Forest Army to strengthen the guards?" Jing tried hard to sort out the ins and outs of this matter, she pieced together the fragments she saw and heard to find the answer, but no, the biggest question was who was that person? Why died?

She shook her head annoyedly, and finally decided to go to Yongxiang to pick up Yun He Xiuyue first.

Empress Lu watched Jing Tian leave, she suddenly thought that this girl knew too much, and suddenly her murderous intent was everywhere, and her eyes became cold and sharp, like a sharp knife.

"Only the dead keep secrets." She wanted to kill Jing Tian. But she quickly thought about it: she didn't know what was going on here today, did she? How else would they be here? If you kill her, will it startle the snake?

Dai Qing, who had been staying in the hall, saw Empress Lu standing on the steps outside the hall for a long time, she also walked out and came to Empress Lu's side, ready to tell her about today's Yongxiang, but unexpectedly saw Empress Lu's murderous eyes gradually disappearing, she couldn't understand what the queen was thinking at the moment.

"Niangniang, will you just let Jing Tian go? What did she tell Mrs. Qi to do? Dai Qing was a little worried, and stood in front of Empress Lu in a hurry, Dai Qing was one with the queen, and swore allegiance to her.

The queen withdrew her gaze from the distance, stared at Dai Qing, who was a little flustered, gently put her right hand on Dai Qing's shoulder, combed her somewhat messy hair, and raised the corners of her mouth, "She may not know the facts, we haven't sorted out the clues, what can she tell Mrs. Qi?" Even if he told Mrs. Qi, it was just that he saw a dead person being carried out. ”

"What if Mrs. Qi tells the emperor?" Dai Qing looked worried and flustered again.

The queen's sharp eyes showed again, gritted her teeth, and said hatefully: "Then she is looking for death." ”

Dai Qing stood in place with his mouth wide open in surprise, and asked again for a long time, "Niangniang, why can't you tell the emperor?" Dai Qing asked cautiously.

"Catch a big fish with a static brake, this palace wants to see who is so bold and dares to assassinate me?" Lu Hou's face sank, and he said gloomily, "I wanted to deal with this matter before Jing Tian came, but I didn't expect her to come so quickly, and the palace made a mistake and told her to hit the square." Empress Lu paused, looked up to the sky and sighed and said, "The emperor has been busy for the past few days, so he can't make trouble for him, I hope he will have a good rest after he comes back from inspecting Zheng Guoqu." This time, the matter will be handled by the palace itself. ”

Hearing this, Dai Qing exhaled relaxedly. But soon her eyebrows tightened again, her eyes were still full of anxiety and uneasiness, and worries, and she didn't know the identity of the man in black, just like the queen, and she didn't know why the man in black would assassinate the queen. Since the assassination attempt last night, will the old trick be repeated tonight?

Dai Qing was still worried and said, "Niangniang, we have to be careful." ”

Empress Lu turned her face and fell into deep thought, confused and uneasy. Now it's almost October, in October, the princes and kings of the whole country will enter Beijing, the emperor will hold a banquet in Weiyang Palace, I heard that the king of Qi and the king of Chu have been on the way to Beijing, Chang'an just encountered the Weishui embankment, fortunately there are good ministers out of the plan to repair the Wei embankment, and now the Wei embankment has been repaired half.

Empress Lu lingered in her heart, feeling that this matter was not trivial, she must find out, who dared to attack the queen of the world, she should respond to all changes with the same and block the news to calm the brake.

It's not that she hasn't thought about the identity of this person, but she is by no means a foreigner, such as the Huns, first of all, they are not as barbaric as the Huns, secondly, they have a smooth Chinese plains, thirdly, they seem to be familiar with the palace, and fourthly, he has a kind of incense used by the Central Plains, it seems that this person is a person who loves cleanliness. It could not be the princes or their men, the queen and the princes and kings never had a festival.

"Was it instructed by the people of the harem? Who could it be? Empress Lu thought to herself in her heart, pacing carefully, "It doesn't seem to be Qi Yi, otherwise Jing Tian shouldn't have that kind of expression and attitude." Could it be that apart from Qi Yi, there are still people targeting me? ”

Dai Qing followed Empress Lu to the hall, gently closed the door, and as soon as he entered the hall, Empress Lu remembered the thrill of last night.

It turned out that last night......

The night was dark and the wind was high, and after dinner, Empress Lu returned to the dormitory alone, her face was full of vicissitudes of life, and the yellow candle flame in the dormitory was still illuminating, which could not illuminate her slightly vicissitudes of life. She glanced feebly at her deserted boudoir.

During the day, he went out of the palace with the emperor to help the people, and at night the emperor asked someone to send him back to Changxin Palace, but he still went back to Yuzao Palace for the night, and never stayed overnight in Changxin Palace. The faint happiness of the day was gradually replaced by the loneliness of the night, the door was wide open and unaccompanied to the courtyard and walked, the broken moon scattered a faint light, shining on the cold cobblestone path, except for a few lamps in front of the temple door with a faint light, the five fingers could not be seen around, silence and harmony.

Occasionally, a cold wind blew, and Lu Hou wrapped his arms and rubbed them to keep warm, sighing as he walked. She was a little discouraged, she had done so many things to please the emperor, he just recognized her ability, and still couldn't change the emperor's mind. What I can talk to the emperor about can only be more important state affairs or something, and there are very few other things to talk about the relationship between the two of them, if there are not important things, the emperor will not come to her, and there will be no chance to talk about it. Every time Empress Lu's heart comes to this dark night, there will always be a little bit of loneliness and melancholy for no reason.

The clogs creaked in the cold, as if accompanied by the waning moon, and danced alone with the sound of clogs. Lu Hou looked at the crescent moon hanging silently in the sky, and said to himself in frustration, "What's the use of being high?" What else can you do but discuss political affairs with him? He would come to me when he was in trouble. ”

Remembering that Liu Bang liked to watch Qi Yi dance with his sleeves folded and waisted the waist, Lu Hou looked around and jumped up clumsily, no one watched, no one accompanied, no melody, and it was very lonely. She tried her best to learn Qi Yi's dance steps, but she couldn't learn them, so Ruodong followed suit.

Beautiful and slightly sad face, good-looking bun in the clouds, like the coveted green silk of a waterfall, like congealed skin, ethereal and flowing gauze skirt, drunk and dancing, the slender figure is not dancing for Liu Bang. The cold wind blew her cold face and blew down lonely and cold tears.

A sliding step accidentally knocked her to the ground, a tear fell on the cold ground, looked up at the moon, and said with a slightly confused look, "I just want to be a simple, kind and virtuous woman, I hope to be accompanied by a considerate husband, I don't ask for anything else." ”

Stiffly propped up, staggered and walked towards the boudoir, each step was so long, late at night, she put away her tears, she was very fragile, the strength on the surface was just an armed tool for her survival in the palace, she was a woman, and she needed emotional nourishment.

She closed the window, and closed the last door, and before she could turn around, a flash of sword shadow passed, and she was alert to turn around.

"Don't move." A masked man with a rough voice had put an ice blade around her neck.

In addition to fear, she quickly took out her strength and composure, her head was slightly on one side, and the light of the candle flame shone on the sharp sword, which cut off a few strands of her hair, she did not dare to move, and carefully asked: "Who is Your Excellency, why did you kill me?" ”

The man ignored her words and rebuked, "Go." The man put a knife on her neck and followed him to the side door.

"You're familiar with Changxin Palace." Lu Hou will explore again.

"Tonight is your time of death." The man said viciously.

"Who is the mastermind?" Lu Hou still asked.

"Less wordy." The man showed no trace.

Seeing that this method didn't work, Empress Lu wanted to save herself, she remembered that there were patrols and guards ten meters away from the dormitory, and the man carried her through a few cases, she had an idea, and her right elbow slammed into his chest, and the man felt pain, and the sword fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Empress Lu escaped from his clutches and ran outside the temple gate, the man hurriedly picked up his sword and chased over, a crackle, she flipped several cases to him to the ground, the person was blocked by several cases, and Empress Lu hurriedly took the opportunity to shout for help.

Open the door as fast as you can, run outside, and shout "help" to the patrol ten meters away.

The man was about to catch up, and when he saw Empress Lu beckoning the patrol guards to come over, he hurriedly ran in the opposite direction, but where could he outrun the royal guards, and soon he was captured, so he let the guards bring him to Empress Lu.

Lu Wei was covering his chest and gasping, watching the man capture, he was suddenly angry, and stepped forward with an arrow, staring at him sharply, and slapped him twice, and the man's face suddenly had a red handprint, flushed. Empress Lu couldn't stop her anger that she was almost killed, and her right hand reached out to him like lightning, grabbed him by the neck, and pushed him into a corner, and the guards who grabbed him were also taken to the corner with him.

"Say, who instructed him to assassinate the palace?" Empress Lu roared like a lion, full of anger.

The man didn't say a word, but spit a mouthful of spit on her with her fierce eyes, and said, "Bah, don't want to know, wicked woman." ”

Lu Hou gritted his teeth, almost biting his lip with hatred, and pinched him with strength, "Look for death." She wanted to strangle him like this to relieve her hatred, but she wanted to force out the mastermind. Immediately let go and shouted to the left and right, "Come, take you to the dungeon, and serve the great punishment until you tell the mastermind." Don't say half a word about tonight's events, otherwise you will be killed. ”

"Whoa."

The assassin was taken away, and Empress Lu was unable to settle down all night, so he found Dai Qing to accompany him, and under Empress Lu's story, Dai Qing knew what was going on.

Throughout the night, the jailer tortured him continuously, first with a stick and then with a leather whip, and he still didn't say anything, and finally the jailer rested when he was tired, and then beat after resting, and so on, until dawn, he only had his last breath left, the first ray of sunlight shone into the cold dungeon, the assassin opened his closed eyes slightly, looked at the slightly faint sunlight and smiled, "Yingyu, may you be married in the next life." After saying that, he bit his tongue and committed suicide, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and when the jailer came to fight again, he had been dead for a long time.

"Dead." Several jailers looked at each other in surprise, not knowing how to explain to the queen.

When the queen and Dai Qing came to the dungeon to see the results of the interrogation, as soon as they entered the dungeon, they saw that the night suit worn by the assassin had been torn to pieces, his hands were chained, and his head was lowered.

Empress Lu angrily turned her face to the jailer and looked at them in annoyance.

The jailer trembled with fright, "Niang Niang spares her life." ”

"Useless stuff." Then walked out of the dungeon, Dai Qing told the queen what the jailer meant, and asked them to carry the assassin out and throw it to the mountain to feed the beasts, just about to execute when a little palace maid came in and said that Jing Tian went to Yongxiang, so Dai Qing hurried to Yongxiang, arrived before Jing Tian, Lu Hou also heard Jing Tian coming, she quickly carried the assassins out of Changle Palace and carried them to the nearby mountains towards the path and buried them, but those jailers and eunuchs were in the dungeon for so long before they were brought out, and as soon as they were carried out, Jing Tian bumped into him.

That's the way it is.

The sunlight shone through the hollowed-out carved window on Empress Lu's serious face, and Empress Lu was afraid when she thought of it, but she was indeed strong.
