At night, the cold wind gusts, in the palace of Zhongjin Guogong, a sad color, Emperor Tianwei has made a holy decree, and the Duke of Zhongjin will be buried five days later, at that time, the four princes of Emperor Tianwei are all dressed in plain clothes, and they are buried for the spirit of Zhongjin Guogong.

Such an honor is absolutely unprecedented.

On the top of the mourning hall, the three sons of Zhongjin Guogong fell to their knees and kept sending paper money to the brazier in front of them.

The Duchess of Guo guarded the spirit for many days, and her body could no longer support it, so she took her youngest daughter Mei Shen'er back to the inner room to rest early in the morning.

Concubine Mei and Su Zimo temporarily lived in the Guogong Mansion, and the Qing King specially sent a hundred guards to protect them.

The sky was dark, and the cold wind gusted, burrowing into the mourning hall and blowing the candle flame above the mourning hall.

Mei Shenxing is Mei Siyuan's eldest son, and when Mei Siyuan was still alive, he was appointed by Emperor Tianwei to discuss politics.

Emperor Tianwei is clearly improving the status of the Mei family above the court.

"Big brother, my right eyelid has been jumping, and I always feel like something is going to happen." Mei Shenzhi whispered. He is the second son of Mei Siyuan, he has no official position, Ping Suli, he is more fond of business, when Mei Siyuan was alive, he supported himself and opened a chain business called Fugui in the capital, and he can be regarded as the brightest among young talents.

"Big brother, I'm scared." Mei Shenyan is Mei Siyuan's third son, and he is only thirteen or fourteen years old at this time, which is the age of literacy and etiquette in the school.

Because Mei Siyuan will be buried in five days, and in the last few days of good night, the three biological sons must personally keep a vigil for him.

"Don't be afraid." Mei Shenzhi pulled his younger brother and asked him to kneel beside him, and at the same time, Mei Shenxing put his big hand on his waist, and pinned a dagger under the clothes around his waist.

The sound of the wind continued, and it seemed to be mixed with the sound of some messy footsteps, which was particularly abrupt in this quiet night.

"Second brother, after a while, you took the third brother to hide behind your father's coffin, no matter what kind of sound you heard, you couldn't come out, you know?" Mei Shenxing lowered his voice and instructed.

Mei Shenzhi nodded: "Don't worry, eldest brother, I will definitely protect the third brother." It's just that now Mei Niangniang and the five princes are living in our mansion, so we should put protecting their safety first? ”

Mei Shenzhi's reminder is not unreasonable.

Mei Shenxing is a little helpless, what is going to come is to come after all, at this time, listening to the footsteps of those people, I am afraid that I have already entered the Guogong Mansion, at this time, the most important thing is for everyone to protect themselves, if you want to protect and then protect Concubine Mei and Su Zimo, it is impossible.

"There are more than 100 people in the forbidden army of the Qing prince, surrounding the backyard where the mother lives. The fifth prince is also protected by someone around him, and nothing big can happen if he thinks about it. Be cautious, the safety of the third brother will be handed over to you. ”

didn't have time to think about it, Mei Shenxing suddenly flew up, he jumped up, stepped on the wind and snow, and flew onto the roof.

After a while, the corpse of a man in black who was completely black fell from the roof, and blood splattered on the snow, a shocking burst of blood red.

For a time, the Guogong Mansion was in chaos. The sound of weapons and ping-pong sounded chaotically, mixed with the messy footsteps of the subordinates, and the cries of the female dependents, which were exceptionally clear in this silent night.

In the backyard, more than a dozen black-clothed killers fought with the forbidden army of the Qing King, shouting and killing to the sky.

Concubine Mei walked out of the inner room with Su Zimo's support, and a frightened face appeared on Concubine Mei's face.

"The mother concubine is not afraid, there is a son to protect you." Su Zimo supported Concubine Mei and retreated to the relative safety of the corridor.

At this moment, a long arrow flew in the air and stabbed straight into Concubine Mei's heart. Su Zimo was in a hurry, and used his arm to block this arrow for Concubine Mei.

"Son, you're injured...... Concubine Mei exclaimed.

Su Zimo didn't care about his wounds, pulled Concubine Mei, and ran to the end of the corridor.

In the palace of Concubine Min, Emperor Tianwei was resting, but was awakened by the sound of messy footsteps outside the palace.

"Concubine Mei......" Emperor Tianwei opened his eyes, and he was stunned for a while.

Concubine Min, who was standing on the side, was quite embarrassed for a while when she heard this Concubine Mei.

Emperor Tianwei seemed to realize his mistake and changed his words: "Concubine Min...... What's going on out there? ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the child of King Qing has entered the palace and said that he has something urgent to tell you." Concubine Min's face showed a look of nervousness.

Emperor Tianwei reached out and grabbed the cloak beside the couch and draped it over his shoulders. "King Qing, this kid is not a reckless person, he is in charge of the forbidden army, something big must have happened, Concubine Min, let King Qing come in."

After a short time, King Qing hurriedly stepped inside, he was dressed in military uniform, and he looked as if he had just gotten off the battlefield.

His face was covered with blood, and when he saw Emperor Tianwei, he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Father, it's not good, just now, someone attacked the Guogong Mansion at night and killed more than ten people from the Guogong Mansion. The fifth disciple Mo was dedicated to protecting Concubine Mei Niangniang, and suffered two arrow wounds on his body. Mei Shenxing, the eldest son of the Mei family, was also seriously injured when he fought with the Assassins. King Qing directly told the matter.

"Where's Concubine Mei? How is she? Emperor Tianwei's face was full of anger. At this time, if it weren't for the safety of Concubine Mei, if he thought about it, he would definitely take the case.

King Qing said again: "Fortunately, Erchen arranged the protection of the forbidden army in advance, and Mei Niangniang was just frightened and fainted." The Guogong Mansion has invited Lang Zhong and is treating ......"

"Spread my will, let Imperial Doctor Liu in the palace go to the Guogong Mansion to diagnose and treat the injuries of Concubine Mei and Zimo. No delays. Emperor Tianwei's face showed a line of coldness.

"Yes, Father." The Qing King gave up.

Inside the house, the silence is terrible, and it seems that a needle has landed on the ground from time to time, and you can hear it really. Emperor Tianwei wandered around the room, his expression solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

"Your Majesty, this Zhongjin Guogong has always been low-key during his lifetime, and I have never heard that he had a holiday with anyone, and now, the Guogong Mansion is gone, and the Guogong Mansion is holding a funeral, who wants to make such a waste of the Guogong Mansion?" Concubine Min spoke.

"It's just that I pity Sister Mei, who temporarily lives in the Guogong Mansion, and has been retaliated against by the villains, so it's pitiful." Concubine Min said that she wiped away her tears.

Emperor Tianwei raised his eyes and saw that the tears of Concubine Min reflected the deep sisterhood, which made Emperor Tianwei a little moved.

"King Qing, I want you to say, what kind of inside story will this matter be?" Emperor Tianwei deliberately wanted to listen to the opinions of King Qing, intending to test King Qing.

King Qing thought for a while, and said: "Father, the sons and daughters think that the assassins of the Guogong Mansion tonight are definitely not heading for the Guogong Mansion......

"Their purpose is Concubine Mei Niangniang and the fifth brother Su Zimo......"

The Qing King said what Emperor Tianwei thought in his heart.
