Chapter 22: A Gentle Night
"Zheng Zhonghe!" Yi Lunhuan shouted, his chest rose and fell violently, and everyone below was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, Zheng Zhonghe walked out tremblingly from the side, kneeling on the ground, at a loss.
"Old... The old minister is in ......"
"I personally planned the dinner party of the October Dynasty this time, and there was such a big problem, how do you explain it?" Yi Lunhuan squinted like a cheetah and stared at Zheng Zhonghe, who had already broken out in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, this time there are assassins mixed in with the dancing girls, it is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the old minister, and the old minister deserves to die! Sin deserves death! Zheng Zhonghe said bitterly, "However, Weichen handed over this song and dance performance to Guo Yun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the minister did do the final inspection yesterday......
As soon as Zheng Zhong's words came out, Guo Yun on the side hurriedly knelt and moved to the center of the main hall, and his back was cold: "Your Majesty...... Minister...... The minister was indeed carefully selected from the Yuefu in the palace, and the minister didn't know why there was such a fork, the emperor! ”
Yi Lunhuan frowned, Zheng Zhong in the hall is Taishi, and he is Chu Minghong's right-hand man close political friend, and Guo Yun is just a pawn they want to frame, how to deal with it, Yi Lunhuan already has some thoughts in his heart.
"Call Chen Yin'er, the head of Yuefu." Yi Lunhuan got up, slowly paced to the front of the table, and looked down at the two officials who were kneeling on the ground trembling, "Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter." ”
Chu Minghong got up calmly when he heard this, and after walking to the center of the main hall, he knelt down calmly: "The minister thinks that this matter has not been thoroughly investigated, so it is not possible to make a conclusion." If something like this endangers the dragon body, naturally everyone involved is to blame. ”
"Call Chen Yin'er over for a while and investigate this matter well, it's really a disappointment, and it's ruined today." Yi Lunhuan swept his sleeves, "I don't have the heart to investigate again, this matter will be handed over to the prime minister to investigate, just tell me the results today, and I will wait when I go back to the palace." Yi Lunhuan turned around and walked two steps, then turned back to look at Zheng Zhonghe and said, "You really failed my expectations of you, no matter what, as the chief in charge, you have to bear the greatest responsibility." With that, he walked away without looking back.
Chu Minghong pondered slightly, and knew that today's Zheng Zhonghe's career had come to an end, and he felt a little annoyed and unwilling.
Why did the emperor target Zheng Zhonghe alone this time?
Chu Minghong frowned, and glanced back at Chu Changting, only to find that the seat was already empty, and Xun'er was nowhere to be seen. His heart was empty, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, but it was not good to have a seizure, so he had to wave his hand and beckon his attendant to come over and ask him to hurry to the palace to find Chu Changting.
After Chu Changting was knocked unconscious, he was taken to a remote palace, and in a daze, she felt that someone was carefully examining her face, and that vicious gaze made her feel a burst of heat.
Chu Changting tried his best to open his eyes, and saw a face covered with a black cloth, revealing a pair of eyes with exotic colors that did not belong to the northerners.
"My master wants me to ruin your face, Miss Chu, offended." A bewitching female voice sounded, and a hand that knew that she had been practicing martial arts for many years took out a small porcelain white medicine bottle from her arms, Chu Changting was flustered in her heart, and wanted to run away but felt weak all over, she stretched out her hand to cover her face, and then moved back desperately, looking at the medicine bottle in the hand of the comer in horror.
"Bear with it, it doesn't hurt very much." The black-clothed assassin tried his best to suppress his laughter, and Chu Changting saw a hint of hideousness in her eyes.
"No...... Please......" Chu Changting was so frightened that tears flowed, and his thin shoulders trembled like a forest deer.
Just when the assassin pulled out the stopper, pressed Chu Changting's hand covering her face, and then pinched her chin and was about to pour the medicine, a slender figure in a black night robe fell from the sky and kicked the medicine bottle in the assassin's hand, and when the assassin got up from the ground and shook his wrist to draw the knife, the slender figure quickly threw out a long whip from his sleeve and strangled the assassin's neck, and the fierceness of the shot quickly surprised the assassin, and before she could pull the knife out, her neck had already been broken, she stood staggering for a few seconds with wide eyes, and then fell directly to the ground.
Chu Changting was still frightened, his apricot eyes widened, and his face was incredulous. The slender figure put away the whip and slowly walked towards Chu Changting, Chu Changting didn't know what the comer's intention was to save her, and his body shrank back again and again.
At this moment, the figure scooped up Chu Changting, and then clasped it in his arms. Through the thick cotton clothes, Chu Changting could still hear his strong and powerful heartbeat.
I didn't expect ...... It seems that such a slender person can have such a great strength......
Chu Changting was still trembling, and his whole body was weak, so he could only let that person hold him. She could feel his slender hands gently rubbing his hair, full of love and affection.
"Who ......" Chu Changting tried to calm himself down, and squeezed out another word. The visitor did not speak, but hugged her harder, then placed her in a corner against the wall so that she could sit more comfortably, and then jumped lightly up the eaves, and quickly disappeared into the foggy night.
Chu Changting sat there stunned and didn't know what to do, and suddenly heard Xun'er calling her name loudly, she hurriedly responded, Xun'er ran over in broken steps, hugged Chu Changting, and cried: "Miss, you are really scared to death Woo woo, if something happens to you, how can Xun'er live!!"
"Okay, okay, I'm fine. It's just a matter of getting angry and running out to play. Chu Changting patted Xun'er's back soothingly, not ready to tell Xun'er what happened to him.
Watching Xun'er and Chu Changting gradually walk away, Mei Rong walked out of the dark shadow on the side.
The night was boundless, and her face was dark.
