Chapter 457: Sudden Change
Chapter 457: Sudden Change
The sun is setting in the west, and when I return to the palace, I am almost about to set the key.
The palace usually has a lantern before it gets dark, lest it get dark and you don't have time to illuminate the path.
But he saw the sound of the palace shouting everywhere to arrest the assassins.
The Imperial Forest Army has long been unsheathed, as if facing a great enemy.
Some are sticking to their original posts, and some are running around.
Gu Qingcheng looked at it, and his chest suddenly sank.
"Arrest the Assassins? What's going on? ”
Gu Qingcheng asked one of the Imperial Forest Soldiers in astonishment.
All the Imperial Forest Army recognized the County Lord of Anping, and the Royal Forest Army whispered:
"The assassin broke into the palace, and His Majesty ordered the assassin to be arrested, and now he is sealing off the front and investigating everywhere."
"Is Your Majesty injured?"
“…… It doesn't seem to be. ”
"In other words, the Assassin is still in the palace?"
The Imperial Forest Army nodded: "The assassin is mad, and the county lord must be careful." ”
"Okay, thank you!" Gu Tingcheng Road.
Feiyan also nervously said to Gu Qingcheng: "There is an assassin in the palace, then the county lord really has to be careful!" ”
Gu Qingcheng smiled: "I'm not worried, I'm just worried about assassins, in case I break into Yuxiu Palace......"
Speaking of which, Gu Qingcheng was shocked: My aunt has no power to restrain the chicken, don't really let the assassin break into Yuxiu Palace!
Feihong Feiyan escorted Gu Qingcheng to the Imperial Garden, wanting to hurry back to Yuxiu Palace to see his aunt.
The sunset, blooming in its last glory.
Night is falling.
Darkness will sweep over the earth.
The wind and snow also began to wreak havoc.
Gu Tingcheng tightened his fur, feeling that the snow tonight might be colder.
Slippery with snow under your feet.
Feihong Feiyan hurriedly helped.
Somehow, her chest was pounding, and she wasn't steady at all.
Maybe it's because you're worried about the assassins still hiding in the palace?
It was the first time she had heard of an Assassin invasion since she arrived at the palace.
By the way, the target of the assassins who came to the palace must be Your Majesty, right?
For no reason, the assassin would not break into Yuxiu Palace, and the aunt should be fine.
Thinking like this, she wanted to go to His Majesty's place again.
At least stay by Your Majesty's side.
So, she asked the Imperial Forest Army where His Majesty was now.
Knowing that His Majesty was in the imperial study, she quickly turned around and walked in the direction of the imperial study.
The palace is full of lanterns, full of lights and flowers, but you can't see where to hide.
Walk through a cluster of flowers, with a rockery in front of you.
Suddenly, Gu Tingcheng was pulled into the rockery.
Suddenly, Gu Qingcheng was in a trance, startled, thinking that he was an assassin.
Feihong Feiyan originally wanted to shout loudly, but suddenly saw that the person who dragged the county lord was the second sister of Queen Helian, Helian Guiren.
And Helian nobleman stretched out his finger to his lips and made a shush silence gesture.
And they didn't squeak.
Feihong Feiyan then guarded outside the rockery.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the noble Helian who was nervous, and asked in a shallow voice:
"I heard that there were assassins in the palace, is Niangniang too scared to go back to the palace?"
Helian nobleman shook his head, but he attached himself and said with an anxious face:
"Before Fang Cai began to shout to arrest the assassin, the palace saw two royal forest soldiers, helping Li Yi to walk towards Yuxiu Palace."
Gu Qingcheng blinked, a little incomprehensible:
"What's wrong?"
Helian nobleman's eyes were anxious, and he said nervously:
"That Li Yi's face was flushed, and he couldn't even walk steadily, and he was obviously held hostage by those two to Yuxiu Palace."
"Maybe Li Yi was drunk and his colleagues helped him out?" Gu Tingcheng was still a little unsure, "But why did you help him go to Yuxiu Palace?" ”
Helian nobles have no quarrel with the world on weekdays, and they are indifferent to everything, but now they see that Gu Qingcheng doesn't understand, and they are even more anxious.
"Lord Anping, Li Yi is like that, it's not like an ordinary drunk, but it's ......" Helian Guiren hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Gu Tingcheng asked.
"It's like drinking something unsightly...... Wine. Helian said a little embarrassed.
Gu Tingcheng's mind was a little confused:
"Even if Li Yi was poured some unsightly wine, how could he send him to Yuxiu Palace?"
The nobleman couldn't help but stomp his feet in a hurry:
"Oh, my county lord of Anping, you are such a shrewd person on weekdays, why are you confused today?"
"......" Gu Tingcheng stared at his big clear eyes, still not understanding.
"You don't want to think about who the owner of Yuxiu Palace is, Li Yi drank that kind of wine, if something unsightly happens in Yuxiu Palace, what should the owner of Yuxiu Palace do?"
Gu Qingcheng was taken aback, could it be that someone poured Li Yi to drink those wines and framed him and his aunt?
This is also incredible!
She stared at her eyes in disbelief: "Niangniang is saying that someone wants to harm my aunt?" ”
Now Allure calls Feng Zuo Zhaoyi her aunt, which is already a well-known thing.
Helian Guiren nodded worriedly and said:
"And after Li Yi helped him into Yuxiu Palace, he immediately started shouting outside to catch the assassin, which made this even more strange."
Gu Qingcheng gasped, almost unable to stand on his feet in fright from this appalling thing.
"Under the pretense of searching for assassins, searching all over the palace, when the time comes, if I catch my aunt and Li Yi in Yuxiu Palace, my aunt will not be able to wash it!"
Seeing that Gu Qingcheng finally understood what was going on, the noble Helian nodded with relief.
"Could it be that this so-called arrest of the assassin is actually a deliberate plot to frame my aunt?"
Gu Qingcheng's eyes were converging, with a bloodthirsty cold glow.
Helian nodded with hidden worries.
After being shocked, Gu Qingcheng immediately calmed down.
"Do you know where you have found it now?"
"I just finished searching Princess Shanggu's Bixia Palace and the Queen Mother's Yikun Palace, I searched all the way, and I searched one more place, and I found Yuxiu Palace." Helian nobles rubbed their hands together in fear.
Gu Tingcheng said to Helian Gui:
"Niangniang, please rush to Yuxiu Palace now, just say that Feng Zuo Zhaoyi originally asked you to go to Yuxiu Palace to help me see the newly made plum blossom cloak for me."
"Okay, I'll go here."
Helian nobles readily agreed, and immediately took her palace maid and walked towards Yuxiu Palace.
At this moment, Jiang Li, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, shouted loudly to the Royal Forest Army:
"Everyone is tightly guarded, if you let the assassins escape, none of you will have any good fruit to eat!"
Feihong Feiyan was guarding the rockery, and he also heard what the nobleman Helian said to Gu Qingcheng, and he was also very anxious.
Gu Tingcheng knew that someone wanted to harm his aunt, so he told Feihong Feiyan to run back to Yuxiu Palace quickly.
Feihong Feiyan was about to ask the county lord what about her?
But seeing Gu Tingcheng's move, the goddess scattered the flowers, and suddenly spun out of the peach blossoms in the sky, and she was covered by the peach blossoms in the sky, and the peach blossoms merged into one, and the meteors flew towards Yuxiu Palace like a moon.
She already had meteorites on the soles of her shoes to fly, and her heart was as fast as a streamer.
At that speed, all anyone could see was a colorful cloud like a peach blossom floating in the air.
No wonder the county lord asked them to hurry back to Yuxiu Palace, looking at it, the county lord arrived at Yuxiu Palace, and he hadn't walked a few steps yet.
Gu Qingcheng flew back to Yuxiu Palace in the light and shadow with the momentum of lightning and flint.
The outside of Yuxiu Palace has long been surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, let alone an assassin, I am afraid that even flies will not be able to escape.
It seems that the so-called arrest of the assassin was indeed premeditated by someone!
The peach-like meteor cloud flew down into the Yuxiu Palace.
But I saw that Yuxiu Palace was only lit with a few dim palace lights, and there was not even a single palace person.
The other palace maids are busy working on weekdays, which is understandable, why don't Xia He and Qiu Yue see it.
Her chest was cold, who dared to harm her aunt like this.
Go straight to my aunt's bedchamber.
In the orange light, I saw my aunt's face serene, unconsciously lying on the bed with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep, and her jade lotus-like arms were exposed outside the futon.
Looking like that, the inside was also stripped bare.
Li Yi's face was flushed, he had stripped off his shirt and shirtless by the bed, and he was shirtless, and only shorts were left on his lower body.
Flipping off the futon in front of him, he really revealed his naked aunt.
Li Yi's eyes were confused, but he shouted in his mouth: "Allure ......"
When Gu Tingcheng saw this, he knew that Li Yi must have been given an aphrodisiac.
Hurry over and grab the futon and cover it for my aunt first.
Then he flew a needle to wake up Li Yi, and quickly poured a glass of cold water on him to wake him up.
Li Yi was splashed with cold water and suddenly came to his senses.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance and Feng Zuo Zhaoyi, who had half of his jade body exposed on the bed, immediately understood what was going on.
His face suddenly turned embarrassed, and his face was red.
Gu Tingcheng didn't have time to explain more, and said anxiously while giving the needle to his aunt on the bed:
"Hurry up and get dressed, I'll send you out!"
Li Yi paused while dressing in a hurry:
"Who the hell is trying to harm me?"
After a few stitches, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi woke up slowly.
glanced at Gu Chengcheng, groaned and held his forehead: "Chengcheng, you're back." ”
Immediately after that, her eyes fell on Li Yi, who was dressed next to the bed.
She opened her mouth wide in astonishment and screamed, and then shouted angrily:
"Li Yi, what's wrong with you? Why, why did you appear in the dormitory of the main palace in disheveled?! ”
Gu Qingcheng hurriedly whispered, "Auntie, don't make a noise. ”
Li Yi was drunk by Feng Zuo Zhaoyi, and his face was red for a while:
"Mother, we have been calculated!"
“…… Calculated? ”
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi lowered his eyes, gently lifted the corner of the futon, and saw his naked body at a glance, and was suddenly frightened and ashamed.
"Auntie, don't panic, hurry up and get dressed, I'll send Li Yi out first and then come back!"
Gu Qingcheng hurriedly took her aunt's clothes to her.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi saw his ** naked body, and heard the noise of shouting outside to catch the assassin, if he still didn't understand being calculated, it was really in vain!
It's just that who is so vicious and actually framed her like this!
At this time, Li Yi had already put on his clothes, Gu Qingcheng and Li Yi ran to the courtyard of the West Palace, grabbed Li Yi, flew out of Yuxiu Palace at the speed when he came back, and sent Li Yi to the rockery outside before flying back.
When she came back, her aunt was still busy dressing, and when she saw Gu Qingcheng, she couldn't help but shed tears anymore.
"Allure, who is this person who framed my aunt?"
Gu Qingcheng also hurriedly helped her dress and comb her hair.
"I don't think it's far from ten, it's the queen's mother. Only she would be so jealous of her aunt, and only she would have such means in the palace! Gu Qingcheng gritted his teeth in anger.
"The Queen?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said in a trembling voice.
While tidying up for his aunt, Gu Tingcheng muttered again:
"During the period when I helped my ancestors hold a birthday banquet, Li Yi has been running to Yuxiu Palace diligently.
If he was really caught by someone and his aunt, then he had been running to Yuxiu Palace in the past, and he would have had something unsightly with his aunt a long time ago, so it would be logical, and no one would not believe it. ”
"No matter who it is, this person's mind is really vicious!" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said hatefully.
Gu Qingcheng flew out of the peach blossom, and the peach blossom hooked a piece of candle flame, and quickly flew to light all the candles in the hall.
The temple was brightened.
Although Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was shocked, the peach blossoms on the Allure ring could fly out, and he could also automatically fly to light the candle.
At this moment, it was too late to ask Allure how he got such a magic weapon.
Gu Qingcheng quickly took out a cloak and needlework embroidered with plum blossoms and handed it to her aunt.
Help my aunt to come out of the main hall and sit down.
"Auntie is embroidering here, wait a minute, if the noble Helian comes, you will say that you have already asked her to come to Yuxiu Palace to help me see the newly made plum blossom cloak."
"Why did she come?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was a little confused, "Isn't she trying to harm me?" She has been indisputable with the world all these years, is it all superficial hypocrisy? ”
"Auntie, don't get me wrong, it was the noble Helian who told me that I saw the Imperial Forest Army sending the confused Li Yi into Yuxiu Palace, and I learned that someone wanted to harm my aunt," Gu Qingcheng said.
At this time, there were more and more clattering footsteps outside, and a noisy sound sounded:
"Niangniang can't go in, now there are assassins, searching for assassins, and I'm going to go in to search Yuxiu Palace soon!" The voice of the Royal Forester said.
"But Feng Zuo Zhaoyi only invited the palace to come an hour ago and help her palm the newly embroidered cloak for the county lord of Anping!" The voice of the noble Helian said.
At this time, Jiang Li, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, came and sneered at the nobles of Helian:
"Niangniang should hurry back to her Feixia Palace, now the palace is full of assassins, Niangniang will delay the case here!"
Gu Tingcheng immediately spun out of the peach blossom again, wrapped himself in a rapid momentum and flew out of Yuxiu Palace, and joined the Feihong Feiyan outside.
More and more Imperial Forest troops surrounded Yuxiu Palace.
She walked quickly towards the gate of Yuxiu's palace, and when the Imperial Forest Army saw that it was Gu Qingcheng, almost everyone immediately saluted her respectfully.
"See Anping over the county lord......"
It can be seen from this that Gu Tingcheng's prestige in the imperial palace and the entire Great Wei.
"No ......"
Gu Qingcheng smiled gently, and then took the hand of Helian nobleman and said:
"Niangniang, you are here, my aunt has been praising your female red exquisiteness, and your embroidered plum blossoms are a must, and let you come to help palm your eyes and see the plum blossom cloak made for me."
"Isn't it, Niang Niang invited me to come over an hour ago, but this Jiang Commander didn't let us in." Helian nobles are embarrassed.
"Let's go, I'll take my mother in." Gu Qingcheng pulled Helian nobles and went in.
Jiang Li, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, stopped Gu Qingcheng and the others, his face was so cold that there was no trace of human touch:
"County Lord, it's a very important time, we're going to hunt down the assassins, the county lord, please wait outside, we're going to search first, see if there's an assassin hiding inside!"
"Could it be that Commander Jiang suspects that there are assassins in Yuxiu Palace?" Gu Qingcheng said worriedly.
"It's not a suspicion, it's possible that assassins are hiding everywhere in the palace." Jiang Li said coldly.
At this time, his henchman Imperial Forest Army clenched his fists and asked Jiang Li: "Commander Jiang, do you want to start searching now?" ”
Jiang Li widened his eyes and said angrily to them:
"Waste, you still need to ask! Why don't you slam open the palace gate and search for it! If the assassin hides in the Yuxiu Palace and hurts Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's mother, a hundred of your heads will not be enough to cut off! ”
When the guards heard Jiang Li's order, they went over and knocked on the door, but they didn't expect that the door of Yuxiu Palace was not locked at all, so they pushed it open at once.
The crowd flocked in.
But seeing that the hall was brightly lit, Feng Zuozhaoyi sat in the hall with a dignified appearance, and a cloud silk cloak embroidered with plum blossoms was laid on the embroidery frame in front of him.
Gu Tingcheng and Helian nobles also walked in with the Imperial Forest Army, and the two of them guarded Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's side.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was embroidering with a needle in his hand, and when he suddenly saw so many people breaking in, he was so frightened that the needle stuck on his finger.
Surprised: "What are you guys doing here?" ”
Jiang Li took the lead in breaking in, with an arrogant face, and did not answer her, carrying a sword, as soon as he entered the hall, he took the lead and rushed straight to the dormitory.
He was followed by more than a dozen Royal Forest Soldiers, and it seemed that he also knew that the so-called assassin was in the dormitory, and he couldn't wait to kill inside.
But I saw that the candle was lit inside, the curtains on the bed were raised, the bedding was neat, and the bed was empty.
His face changed instantly.
The crowd exchanged glances.
Just because there's no one in the bed doesn't mean there's no one under the bed or in the closet!
They quickly crouched down and searched under the bed and in the closet, as well as other places where they could hide...... I want to talk about "Ethereal Alluring City" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
