Chapter 467: Assassination
By the moonlight, Lan Jiyu walked outside Ning Yunyu's bedroom, her right hand reached into the sleeve of her left hand, and held the somewhat cold dagger that Ah Xia had secretly brought to her this afternoon.
I don't know if it was because of nervousness or whatever, Lan Jiyu's two hands were covered with a thin layer of sweat.
She took a deep breath, and when she had calmed down, she cautiously pushed open the door and crept inside.
Because he had never had the experience of killing, Lan Jiyu suddenly began to feel uneasy for some reason after pushing open the door.
What if she woke up in a moment? What if she called someone? If only she ......
In an instant, too many questions came to mind.
She even had the idea of giving up assassinating Ning Yunxuan.
But as soon as she turned around, she was a little unwilling, she didn't want her long-thought plan to go down the drain, she should at least try.
Thinking about it like this, the feeling of trepidation in her heart disappeared for the most part.
It may also be because the incense burner in Ning Yunxuan's room is soothing incense, and the faint, good-smelling fragrance will inexplicably calm people's mood when inhaled into the nose.
Lan Jiyu pulled the dagger out of its sheath, held it stiffly with her right hand, and moved it carefully towards Ning Yunyu's bed.
I don't know if she was still nervous in her heart, or if she was really careless, she saw the figure lying next to the bed and stabbed straight down, and she didn't see who the person was at all.
The sharp dagger looked even more cold in the cold moonlight.
Just as Lan Jiyu was about to stab the dagger in her hand, the light had already woken up the person on the bed, and he quickly grabbed her wrist holding the dagger before Lan Jiyu could do it.
"Someone." Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, which shocked Lan Jiyu's heart, and before she could react to what had happened, the person who lived on her wrist shouted.
As soon as she heard this voice, Lan Jiyu's heart instantly cooled, she was definitely dead today.
Hearing the voice, Sui Qing suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and after walking quickly to Ning Yunyu's room, he first lit a candle on the lamp, and then looked at the person on the bed: "What does the emperor command?" ”
As soon as the candle flame was lit, Li Yiyan also saw clearly that the assassin he caught was Lan Jiyu: "It's you?" ”
"Emperor, Emperor......" The room lit up, and Lan Jiyu also saw clearly that the person in front of her who had caught herself was Li Yiyan, and she really didn't guess wrong.
"Your Majesty, the slave should die." Seeing this scene, Sui Qing hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the dagger in Lan Jiyu's hand, controlling her to the death, and not letting her move.
Sensing the movement, Ning Yunxuan also woke up from her sleep, she slowly opened her sleepy eyes, and asked in a dry voice, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
As the words fell, Ning Yunyu's eyes slowly opened.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lan Jiyu beside the bed and Sui Qing who controlled her, and when she looked down, a sharp dagger was lying straight on the ground.
There was an extra person in his bedroom out of thin air, and a sharp dagger lying on the ground, so that even a person with no intelligence could guess what was going on while they were asleep.
"Princess Yu, are you going to assassinate Hongu?" Ning Yunxuan was not afraid at all, but asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Hearing this, Lan Jiyu glanced at Ning Yunyu, snorted coldly and tilted her head to the side, as if she didn't want to pay attention to her.
Seeing that Lan Jiyu didn't seem to have any plans to deal with herself, Ning Yunyu didn't have much reaction.
On the contrary, Li Yiyan was a little displeased, and her attitude really angered him: "For the sake of your youth, the queen has already planned to stop caring about the previous things, but you have repeatedly troubled the queen and challenged my bottom limit." ”
"If you're so uninteresting, then you're welcome." Li Yiyan turned over and got out of bed, standing beside the bed with his hands in his hands.
Hearing Li Yiyan's tone, it didn't seem to be very good, so Ning Yunxuan also hurriedly got out of bed, grabbed his arm and said, "Don't be angry, the emperor must not be angry, Princess Yu is also the princess of the Blue Moon Country, if you want to punish her, you must not be too heavy." ”
"It is because of the queen's soft-heartedness that she will come to the queen again and again to find trouble." Li Yiyan glanced down at Ning Yunxuan's worried face, and sighed: "Besides, this is not the Blue Moon Country, how can you allow her to come nonsense?" ”
"This princess doesn't need the queen to cry and fake mercy," Lan Jiyu looked at Ning Yunyu and Li Yiyan coldly, and said with some displeasure: "If you want to kill, you have to listen to the honor, anyway, here is the emperor who has the final say, if you want this princess to die, this princess will definitely not live." ”
"Since you say so, then my country really can't tolerate you." When Li Yiyan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, and then said, "As soon as it dawns tomorrow, I will order someone to send you back to China." ”
"Okay, let's go down first, and as soon as it dawns tomorrow, I will arrange for carriages and horses." After Li Yiyan finished speaking, he didn't look at Lan Jiyu more, but turned to look at Sui Qing and said.
As soon as she heard Li Yiyan say that she would send herself back to her country, Lan Jiyu instantly panicked.
Although the Blue Moon Country is also a big country, and the country is also very rich, it is still a little bit worse than this country.
If the two countries really want to fight, I'm afraid Li Yiyan's country will be even better.
Moreover, Lan Jiyu is not the princess that her father loves the most in the Blue Moon Country, otherwise when he decided to send a proton to this country, his father would not have chosen her as a hostage.
Although it was nice to say at the beginning, she was sent to this country as a hostage to ease the relationship between the two countries for her father.
But only she knows that the so-called father will never think of her when there is something good, and once there is something bad, the other princesses are unwilling to do it, he will come to her and say that she is his most beloved daughter.
In fact, it's ironic to think about it, she can't see her father for a year, and sometimes, she even forgets what her father looks like.
And the reason why this is the case is entirely because her mother's status is too humble.
Before giving birth to her, her mother was just a maid by her father's side, and it was a complete accident to get pregnant and give birth to her.
So her birth was not blessed by anyone, and after she was born, her identity was not as precious as other princes and princesses, and sometimes even the maids around those concubines could bully her at will.
And at that time, when the monarch of the Blue Moon Country said that he wanted to select a princess from the palace to Li Yiyan's country as a hostage, all the princesses were too far away and were reluctant to come, so in desperation, the monarch could only find Lan Jiyu and ask her to come.
Even if she is reluctant in her heart, she has no right to say no to whoever makes that person her father and the king of a country.
Because of this, she reluctantly came to Li Yiyan's country, and coincidentally was selected to enter the palace to accompany Ning Yunyu to relieve her boredom.
Because she is not a favored princess in the Blue Moon Country, her life and death are dispensable for the monarch of the Blue Moon Country.
The night before she left her homeland, her so-called father made a point of talking to her, saying that if the two countries were at war because of her relationship, then she would not want to return to the Blue Moon Country.
And in this situation, if Li Yiyan really sends her back to China, then it is very likely that the relationship between the two countries will break down because of this, and when the time comes, it will inevitably be ruined again, and after she returns, she will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
So thinking of this, Lan Jiyu became a little scared, so she hurriedly begged: "The emperor don't send Yu'er back, please don't send Yu'er back to the Blue Moon Country." ”
"Why?" Lan Jiyu's words made Li Yiyan frown unconsciously, he thought that Lan Jiyu was playing some trick in his heart, so he subconsciously stayed away from her: "Blue Moon Country is your home country, I don't plan to punish you, I just send you back to your home country, why not?" ”
If "because ......" really wants to be explained, there are many things involved in it, and it will not be able to finish for a while.
If she was sent back to the Blue Moon Country, it would be a blessing if the war between the two countries did not happen.
But the fate that she absolutely can't escape is that as soon as she returns to the Blue Moon Country, she will marry the prince or prince of that country with another poorer and poorer country.
To put it nicely, it is to be kind, but if it is not said well, it is to sell her to such a far place.
And I heard that the princes and princes of that country are all like crooked melons and cracked dates, if she wants to live with that kind of person for a lifetime, it is better to solve her life with a knife now.
"If you don't want to say it, who doesn't have any privacy?" Ning Yunyu saw that Lan Jiyu didn't speak for a long time, knowing that she must also have some unspeakable hardships in her heart, so she turned to Li Yiyan and said.
Hearing Ning Yunxuan's voice, Li Yiyan asked with some puzzlement: "The queen doesn't hate her anymore?" ”
"Why hold a grudge?" Ning Yunxuan rolled her eyes and said to Li Yiyan. "Remembering a person, in fact, it is yourself who is tormented, rather than letting yourself hate a person and be depressed, it is better to put down the hatred as soon as possible, smile, and then the clouds will be light, in fact, it is not a big deal."
Hearing this, Li Yiyan nodded with a smile and echoed: "The queen is reasonable. ”
"Then the queen said, what should I do with her?" Li Yiyan glanced at Lan Jiyu and saw that she was looking at them with blank eyes, as if she was afraid that they would really send her back to the Blue Moon Country at any time.
Following Li Yiyan's line of sight, Ning Yunyu glanced at Lan Jiyu, and then asked lightly, "You really don't want to meet your home country?" ”
"No return." Lan Jiyu replied very simply, although it was the mother country, but for her, it was like a cage.
"Queen Mother, Yu'er knows it's wrong." She saw that Ning Yunyu seemed to be able to protect her from returning to her home country, and her attitude also took a 360-degree turn.
"As long as the emperor and queen mother don't send Yu'er back to their home country, let Yu'er be a cow and a horse, Yu'er promises that she will not deceive the emperor and the queen mother again in the future." Lan Ji Yu reassured again and again.
Listening to Lan Jiyu silently, Li Yiyan and Ning Yunyu glanced at each other tacitly, and Li Yiyan asked as if he didn't believe it: "Is it really okay to be a cow or a horse?" ”
In fact, it's not that Li Yiyan doesn't believe in Lan Jiyu, but that some of the things Lan Jiyu did before made him too disappointed, so she showed her well-behaved side again, which made Li Yiyan subconsciously seem to doubt her.
