Chapter 9: Assassination
Next to the prince, Ning Luan kept paying attention to Ning Zhi's side.
After a long time, she said: "Your Highness, look, are Zhizhi and Heng'er very good?" ”
Pei Jue faintly: "Zhizhi is a smart child. ”
Ning Luan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but the smile was not very good-looking. Where's the good thing, she thought?
Good now, but what about in the future?
Can the people of the Pei family's royal family really take a fancy to the people of the Ning family?
Isn't she an example?
I didn't want to pay attention to what Ning Luan was thinking, Pei Jue couldn't drink, he just drank tea slowly. It's been like this for twenty years.
Live a life that looks like a god.
There is no one in the Manchu dynasty who does not know that the prince and his wife have been separated for 20 years. Ning Luan is still a virgin.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a weak temperament, but in this matter, he has done a great job.
Ning Luan is the joke of the entire Great Jin Dynasty, but as the crown princess, as the youngest daughter of the Ning family, no one dares to laugh at her.
As for behind the scenes, who wouldn't be laughed at?
The boring singing and dancing ended, and the dinner party came to an end for the time being.
Next, it's time to go to the water pavilion to watch the fireworks.
This is the most important festival of this year's Dragon Boat Festival, and the fireworks from the Diluo Kingdom have been prepared.
Ning Zhi walked behind Pei Heng, it was already late at night, and Pei Heng was also very concerned about her walking a little slower.
Ning Zhi accepted his kindness and thanked him with a smile.
Pei Heng didn't answer, just glanced at her.
In the water pavilion, His Majesty had already sat down, and beckoned everyone to sit down with a smile.
It's a great place to watch the fireworks.
Pei Heng stood at the edge of the water pavilion, and Ning Zhi also stood beside him: "I don't know what a beautiful thing this firework is." ”
"It's just fireworks." Although Pei Heng didn't like what Han Peiyuan said in the morning, it sounded fake, but as a prince, he didn't like to do such extravagant and useless things in the palace.
So, he couldn't have expected any fireworks.
Ning Zhi nodded in her heart when she heard him, and sure enough, she was not wrong.
Forsythia has been very careful since he entered this water pavilion, and it is different from what it always is.
Pei Heng glanced at her a few times, it was no secret that Ning Zhi had a girl who knew martial arts in front of her. Pei Heng thought, this girl is very sensible and knows to be careful here.
Ning Zhi has always been very careful, she got the news that someone assassinated the emperor and the crown prince tonight. But I don't know if there are any others here who also know this news.
Anyway...... If something happens, it's time to come.
With a bang, the first fireworks took to the sky.
Ningzhi is really not rare, this is not worse than modern fireworks.
But compared to what the Great Jin Dynasty did by itself, it is indeed a lot better.
So the ladies present all exclaimed, probably because they thought it was really beautiful.
This is also the time when chaos began.
The first to move were the eunuchs. Even the two eunuchs who followed Emperor Jianwen.
But they are not the most recent either.
The fireworks are still being released, and because the distance is a bit far, there is chaos here, and I don't know there for a while.
I saw a eunuch in his forties shouting: "The faint king is coming!" ”
He rushed up with a sharp silver chopstick.
The guard's reaction was very fast, it was the sick and weak prince, and it was not impossible to protect himself at all, he quickly got up.
Pei Heng was about to go over, when he saw four masked people rushing in from outside the water pavilion, all holding steel knives.
If he leaves, Ning Zhi will be the first to suffer.
Pei Heng is not very good at looking down on a forsythia.
At this time, he frowned and scolded the bastard, pulled Ning Zhi, and fought with those people.
Ning Zhi was stunned at first, and then smiled.
With the addition of the two eunuchs, there were six assassins in total.
One of the eunuchs had been cut down to the ground by the guards who rushed in, and his life and death were unknown.
Pei Heng's martial arts are really excellent, he deals with two by himself, and he doesn't fall behind at all.
There is already chaos in the water pavilion, because there are too many female dependents, so even the men who have martial arts can't leave the female dependents alone.
Fortunately, the Assassins did not have the heart to attack the weak woman.
Ning Zeli's first look was not at the emperor, but at Ning Zhi. Seeing that she was being protected by Pei Heng, she was relieved.
As for him, well, he's old, so he doesn't have the strength to fight the Assassins. It's good to watch your grandson and great-grandson fight.
As the leader of the guards was about to surround the pavilion, one of the leaders of the Assassins made a gesture.
This kind of assassination, if it can't be hit with one hit, is equivalent to a failure.
So at this time, you can't continue to fight, you have to withdraw.
A few masked black-clothed men quickly gathered together to escape from the water pavilion.
Pei Heng is good at martial arts, so naturally he will not let them go, but another eunuch who is not dead suddenly took out a dagger and rushed to this side.
Pei Heng was attacked by the enemy on his belly and back, Forsythia hurriedly stepped forward to respond, and even the guards also came.
But at this moment, several assassins jumped out of this gap, and the last one who was stabbed was the last eunuch, and a man in black who was a step slower.
The other three have blended into the night, and they can't catch up.
Pei Heng kicked the eunuch who had been hit by a sword in the abdomen fiercely, and there was obvious anger and unconvincing in his eyebrows.
But the situation was critical at that time, the emperor and the prince occupied the most guards, and there were many people in the Water Pavilion, even if he was outstanding in martial arts, he couldn't catch so many people.
In the end, the man in black, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to catch it.
What's more, he was good at using a sword, but today he didn't bring it with him at all, and he fought against a few assassins with his bare hands.
Ning Zhi saw it clearly, and also had a better understanding of Pei Heng's skills, this person is really serious about practicing martial arts.
Martial arts practice is very hard.
"Is Your Highness hurt?" Ning Zhi spoke at the right time.
Pei Heng was dressed in a dark color, and he couldn't see that he was really injured for a while.
Pei Heng glared at her and shook his head.
Ning Zhi knew that he didn't blame her for this glare, but he was in a bad mood.
He was fine, so Ning Zhi was also relieved, and went straight to Ning Zeli's side.
"Catch me! Turn this capital over and catch these bastards! Emperor Jianwen was furious.
Even if he is old and frail, he is still the emperor. As an emperor all his life, he has experienced many assassinations, but none of them can not be angry.
Xuanyi Wei commanded Liang Chuhan to get up, and chased people out of the palace with people.
"It's not early, let's go back." Emperor Jianwen got up, walked a few steps and turned back: "Heng'er, send Ning Jiu back." ”
This is actually redundant, the Ning family has more than one Ning Zhi, and he doesn't need it at all.
However, Emperor Jianwen's mind has always been like this, and Ning Zhi can only thank him.
Pei Heng also knew that his father was complicated, so he didn't say much.
"Since it was His Royal Highness the Second Highness who sent Zhizhi back to his house, then the old minister didn't care, let's go. Lao Chen was scared today, ouch...... "Ning Zeli waved his hand, and really left with the Ning family."
