Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of Xiang Wife Ruyu!
In the Lotus Fragrance Palace, Yuezhu looked frightened, hurried to Yongning's bed, and said in a low voice; "Princess, there are assassins in the Yuanyi Palace, and the emperor is injured!"
When Yongning heard this, her eyes that had been slightly closed suddenly opened, and she was forced to stand up from the couch. "How is the emperor's injury?"
"I heard Gonggong Yang say that the emperor was injured in the shoulder armor, and his life was worry-free, but he injured his muscles and bones, as for those assassins, they have been caught by the palace guards, but only the leader has escaped..."
Yongning's face changed, and he said in a low voice; "The man in the lead.... Is it Yuan Zikuo? ”
Yuezhu also looked flustered and spoke; "The slave and maid don't know, I only heard that those assassins are wearing the clothes of the Royal Foresters, and in the confusion, they can't tell who is who, and the few assassins who were caught didn't wait for interrogation, they all bit the poison sac in their mouths and committed suicide."
"The Guards?" Yongning read these three words, only felt a headache, she held the futon under her with one hand, and said in a dumb voice; "Since he is the Imperial Forest Army, he must be inseparable from Yuan Zikuo, knowing that it is a dead end, why does he still enter the palace..."
"Princess, the slave and maid have already told the princess all the words of the princess that day, and the slave and maid can't imagine that the prince will enter the palace to die..."
Yongning's face was snow-white, and he said something to Yuezhu for a while; "Get up."
Yuezhu slowly stood up, and seeing that Yongning didn't say a word, he said something cautiously; "Princess, don't you plan to rescue Lord Rui?"
"Rescue?" Yongning's eyes were cool, and he said in a low voice; "How to save it? He was a thorn in the emperor's eye, a thorn in the flesh, the emperor wanted to get rid of him quickly, but he just sent him to the door, I can't save it! ”
"The guards in the palace are trying their best to search for the whereabouts of Prince Rui, and it will not be long before he can be arrested, are we going to watch Lord Rui die?"
Yongning didn't say anything, and it took a long time to say something; "Since he dared to enter the palace, he thought that he had already made a plan to die."
When Yuezhu heard this, her heart sank.
"Over there, what's going on?"
"Rest assured, princess, today's emperor's enthronement ceremony, there was an assassin, and now no one cares about leaving the palace, Prince Qian has quietly left the Beijing division and joined General Chang."
Yongning breathed a sigh of relief and said; "That's good."
"Your Majesty's side...."
"The emperor has Concubine Dong over there, so we don't have to go over." Yongning's voice was low, and after he finished speaking, he added another sentence; "Let people go to the Imperial Doctor's Office and send Imperial Physician Chen to the Yuanyi Palace, Imperial Physician Chen is the best at treating muscles and bones, whether you use it or not is all up to the emperor, there is no need to say anything."
"Yes." Yuezhu blessed her body, and when she saw Yongning's sickly face, although she couldn't bear it, she still asked hard; "Princess, King Rui, are we really not going to save it?"
There was a flash of light in Yongning's eyes, and she was silent for a long time before she said slowly; "There are so many heirs of the Yuan family, but only King Rui really works for the Yuan family."
Yuezhu's eyes were slightly wet when he only said one sentence, Yongning clenched his fingers and said; "Go and let people quietly find out the whereabouts of King Rui, if we are lucky enough to find him before the emperor's people, he still has a glimmer of life, if the emperor's people find him first, he will definitely die, for now, we can only see his creation."
"Yes." Yuezhu received the order and hurriedly left the Lotus Fragrance Palace.
Liang Bozhao sat in the main hall, his shoulder armor was pierced by Yuan Zikuo with a sharp sword during the ceremony, Yuan Zikuo's weapon was sharp, every move was a lifeless ruthlessness, if it weren't for Liang Bozhao's quick reaction and avoidance, this sword would definitely penetrate the chest, and when Yuan Zikuo's sword pierced his left shoulder, the long knife in his hand also pierced Yuan Zikuo's right abdomen, Yuan Zikuo's injury was extremely serious, even if he escaped now, he must not be able to last long.
Liang Bozhao's face was gloomy, and he only let Imperial Doctor Chen bandage his wounds, and the ground was full of people from the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial Forest Army, and the Dali Temple, everyone was in a cold sweat, kneeling there and not daring to move.
There were assassins at the enthronement ceremony and stabbed the emperor, and the emperor should blame them, and these officials in charge of the affairs of the palace would not be an exaggeration even if they were beheaded all over the house.
The waiter of the criminal department trembled and said respectfully; "The emperor is angry, Weichen has found out the origin of the assassins, those assassins are the old department of the former royal family Yuan Zikuo, Yuan Zikuo once commanded the Royal Forest Army, and the current leader of the Royal Forest Army, Xiao Wei, is also the old man of the previous dynasty, Xiao Wei himself has been self-defeated, and I think this matter is scheduled to be related to Xiao Yu's escape."
"Did you leave any mouths alive?" Liang Bozhao asked.
"Except for the leader who escaped, the rest have already bitten through the poison sac, and there is no living mouth..."
Liang Bozhao had already expected this, his ten fingers were clenched, his eyes were dark, and he only looked at the left and right; "Pass the order, even if this palace is lifted, Yuan Zikuo must be pulled out! Remember, I'm going to live! ”
As soon as the man's voice fell, all the ministers in the hall were in charge, and he saw a chamberlain hurriedly walking to Liang Bozhao's side and whispering in his ear; "Your Majesty, Concubine Dong is here, just waiting outside, Niangniang is worried about the emperor's injury, and the slave can't persuade her...."
Liang Bozhao looked at the wound on his left shoulder, the shocking blood color had already oozed out of the white gauze, piercing people's eyes.
He withdrew his gaze and said to the chamberlain; "Go and tell Niangniang, just say I..." After a pause, Liang Bozhao remembered that he had now ascended the throne, and he was about to change his name to "I", but when he thought of Ning Xiang, he couldn't say anything about the sound of "I", so he only continued; "Just say that my injuries are fine, let her go back to the palace first and wait, and when this is over, I will pass."
"Minion Command." When the waiter heard this, he trotted all the way out of the Yuanyi Palace, and when he went out of the palace gate, he saw Ning Xiang leading two grandmothers waiting outside, and when he saw him, his eyes lit up.
"Niangniang, the emperor just said, let you go back to Yufu Palace first and wait, and when the emperor finishes sorting out this matter, he will immediately go back to Yufu Palace to see you."
Ning Xiang is still worried; "The emperor's injury...."
"Don't worry, it's just some flesh wounds, it's not in the way."
Ning Xiang glanced at the Yuanyi Hall again, looked at the closed palace door, and saw that Liang Bozhao didn't want to see her, she had something important, so she had to suppress her worries and whisper to the inner servant; "The emperor is injured, and Father-in-law Lao will take care of him."
"The mother is tormenting the slave." The waiter was sincerely frightened and hurriedly leaned down.
Ning Xiang took Mama and turned around and left the Yuanyi Palace.
On the way back to the palace, he saw the palace attendants walking one after another, all searching for the whereabouts of the assassins, seeing Ning Xiang, and from time to time someone leaned down to salute.
Ning Xiang didn't want to disturb the attendants, and when she walked to the imperial garden, she saw the commander of the guards come forward and salute her, which was embarrassing; "Niangniang, there are many rockery flowers in the imperial garden, and my subordinates are afraid that the assassin will hide here, and they are ordering people to search for the assassin's whereabouts here, but I am afraid.... It will disturb the mother. ”
The implication is that I wish Ningxiang to return to Yufu Palace on a different path.
Ning Xiang nodded and said softly; "My lord, please take it, it's the same when I go back to the palace from the Double Shadow Palace."
The Commander immediately said; "Xie Niangniang is sympathetic, the subordinates around the Ghost Hall have led people to search, and there is no trace of the assassin, Niangniang can rest assured."
Ning Xiang said "um" softly, looked at the commander in front of her, and stopped talking a little, and finally said; "My lord, I heard that the assassin who assassinated the emperor this time was the matter of the former Chaorui King, I don't know if it's true or not?"
"The subordinates don't dare to deceive Niangniang, this assassin is indeed the old department of the former King Rui, and even the person who escaped this time is very likely to be Yuan Zikuo himself."
Ning Xiang was shocked, and her heart immediately trembled, there was only one thought, how could it be him? When he was in Sichuan and Chongqing that day, he had clearly said that in the future, he would stay away from Beijing and be an ordinary person, how could he be so confused and come to Beijing to die?
"My subordinates still have important things to do, please forgive my subordinates for not accompanying me." The Commander clenched his fists and led the group towards the Imperial Garden.
Ning Xiang's heart was in turmoil, and the grandmother behind her called a few times before she took her mind back, Ning Xiang's face was a little pale, and she only cheered up and walked in the direction of the Double Shadow Palace.
The surroundings of the Double Shadow Hall have just been searched, and it seems extremely quiet, Ning Xiang is absent-minded all the way, and occasionally the palace people come forward to salute, but they have never ordered people to get up, but they have only walked all the way.
Returning to Yufu Palace, Ning Xiang accompanied her daughter for a while, not only worried about Liang Bozhao's injuries, but also didn't know where Yuan Zikuo was.
The palace was extremely quiet.
Except for the sound of condensing incense's breathing, there was almost no other sound, and suddenly, a crisp "ticking" sound was heard.
Ning Xiang was shocked, and she saw a small drop of blood condensed on the smooth floor, and a small piece of dark red pierced her eyes.
Immediately after that, another drop.
Ning Xiang's body trembled, she raised her head in horror, and sure enough, on the beam of the room, she saw a man dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Forest Army.
Seeing that Ning Xiang saw himself, Yuan Zikuo couldn't care about the injury on his right abdomen, and without waiting for Ning Xiang to scream, he turned over from the beam of the house and covered Ning Xiang's mouth with one hand.
"Don't make a sound. Otherwise, it will hurt you. Yuan Zikuo's voice was harsh, and under the serious injury, his face was as white as paper.
Ning Xiang's eyes widened, and it wasn't until Yuan Zikuo took off her hand that she said something in a trembling voice; "Lord Wang? Is it really you? ”
Yuan Zikuo covered the wound with one hand and spit out two words; "It's me."
"Why are you hiding in my palace?"
Yuan Zikuo looked at Ning Xiang's eyes, he couldn't tell her that he was hiding in her palace, just because she was Liang Bozhao's most beloved woman, he knew that Liang Bozhao would definitely come to the Yufu Palace tonight, as long as he could endure it, he could also give Liang Bozhao a fatal blow at that time.
I didn't expect it to be noticed by Ning Xiang.
"Are you hiding here so that I can kill him when my father-in-law comes?" The incense is cold all over the body, and the eyes are like water, which is both frightened and sad.
