Chapter 427: Catching the Assassin
"You're not easy. (8) (1) Ξ γΞγChinese Ξη½β‘.*81." Le An looked at Wan Tong for a long time and said to Shen Yinqiu.
Shen Yinqiu couldn't figure out what Le An meant by saying this, after all, she brought the maid to the princess's palace, but if the maid knew martial arts, it was an existence that was not conducive to the safety of the princess.
She glanced at Wan Tong and said to Le An: "It's not that the last time I walked well in the palace, I would encounter danger, I heard that there was a move in the palace this time, so the prince picked a quick reaction and a little fist and foot kung fu maid to accompany me into the palace." β
As soon as she said this, Le An remembered, "You seem to change a maid every time you enter the palace." β
Shen Yinqiu sighed, and remembered in a trance that this was indeed the case, the first time she entered the palace was Qingye, and the Qianyu and Wan Tong in the back were brought aside.
But this can be regarded as diverting Le'an's attention, the two of them were still a little bit of food, so they were scared when they left, okay, they didn't accumulate food at all.
About half an hour later, the emperor's father-in-law Degui and Wan Qiyan appeared in Chaoyang Palace together. He hadn't seen Wan Qiyan for a day, and Shen Yinqiu felt relieved when he heard him coming.
She got up, didn't hide the joy on her face, and said, "They are here, it must be the assassin who has news." β
Le'an rested for a long time, even if he was not in good spirits before, he was now scared. Seeing the smiling face on Shen Yinqiu's face, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
She almost forgot that she also likes Cousin Ziyan, but Cousin Ziyan never takes the initiative to look at her, and her usual attitude is also very detached.
Where could Shen Yinqiu manage Le'an's sudden little emotions, walked out of the palace gate with Wan Tong, and when she saw the long figure standing in the night, she couldn't help but speed up her pace, if it wasn't for Wan Tong reminding her to slow down and be careful not to run, Shen Yinqiu would probably have run up a long time ago.
The feeling of being trapped in the princess's palace all day is really not good.
Wan Qiyan looked up and saw Shen Yinqiu, and when he saw that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and stepped forward and opened his hands to embrace her.
"Nothing's wrong, is it? Hand okay? Have you eaten? Wan Qiyan hugged her, but he didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of pressing her injured hand.
Shen Yinqiu nodded, "You didn't tell me that you were going to come to the princess's side for a whole day." β
The tone was a little aggrieved, not at all as calm as it was in front of outsiders before.
Wan Qiyan explained: "When the emperor told me to act, you were already on the side of the princess palace. I'm sorry. β
Degui listened to their words on the side, and his heart was a little cold, how long has this prince and the princess been separated, this is too tireless.
Fortunately, he saw the princess walking not far behind Shen Yinqiu, and suddenly his whole face brightened, he had followed the emperor since he was a child, and watched Le'an grow up, and he was bold to say, that is, he regarded Le'an as his own child.
Seeing that Le An appeared in front of him again, without the previous sluggishness, he was happy in his heart, and stepped forward to salute and greet him carefully.
Le'an's interest was not high, but Degui was an old man, so she still answered his question, but her eyes were looking at the two people who were hugging each other.
When the princess traveled, the eight palace maids held lanterns on both sides of the lighting, and the faces of Wan Qiyan not far away were clearly visible in the night. Therefore, Le An saw his tenderness towards Shen Yinqiu very clearly. Even if Shen Yinqiu was complaining, his eyes when he looked at her were full of doting, which was somewhat similar to the eyes of her father, queen mother and crown prince's brother, but it was obviously different.
She looked at it quietly for a while before she said to Degui: "Did my father ask you to pick us up?" β
"Back to Princess, yes, the assassin has been caught." Degui hunched and backsliding.
"Then hurry up and go to my father's place, don't let my father wait for a long time."
Degui answered yes and took the lead in the front, Wan Qiyan gently shouted to Le An to say princess, which was considered a salute.
Le An hummed, I didn't know what she thought, so she walked to Shen Yinqiu's side, took the initiative to hold her hand and said, "Yinqiu go, let's go see my father!" β
Shen Yinqiu: "......" is not, she wants to talk to ...... Wan Qiyan walked together.
But she only had one arm that moved freely, and was hugged by Le An, she looked at Wan Qiyan, but Wan Qiyan smiled at her, and automatically stood behind her, with a guardian posture.
Shen Yinqiu gave up, she looked at Le An, Le An smiled at her, okay, she understood, the other party did it on purpose.
Degui looked at Le An taking the initiative to hold Shen Yinqiu, and he had a little measure in his heart. The two appeared in the emperor's hall of benevolence holding their arms.
As soon as Le An saw her father, she left Shen Yinqiu behind and ran to the palace.
As the two fathers and daughters spoke, Shen Yinqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand that had just been let go was warmly held again.
Wan Qiyan took her hand and approached the hall, Shen Yinqiu noticed that the tall black-clothed man who was tied up with five flowers and his eyes were still blindfolded, and suddenly the hand that was held was slightly squeezed back, and looked at Wan Qiyan with his eyes.
Wan Qian Yan was sure that this man was the assassin.
Le An and her father were coquettish for a while, and looked at the man in black for a moment and asked, "Father, what is this?" β
"This is the assassin who attacked you that night, and my father specially called you, what does Le An want to do with him?"
Shen Yinqiu stared at Le An, she wouldn't really say what she said about gouging out her eyes and cutting off her hands for a while, right? If the emperor hears it, she feels bad!
Le An glanced at Shen Yinqiu, "Then, take him ...... Whatever your father can do, but don't let him go so simply! β
"Of course." Emperor Wan Qi assured, "How could my father let him go, hehe." β
Shen Yinqiu's heart trembled a little when he was frightened by his last hehe, and he looked at the assassin and sighed twice, asking for more blessings.
Wan Qiyan said lightly: "Your Majesty, the assassin has been caught, after the interrogation, the three princes of Xinzi Kingdom can be arrested tomorrow morning, and the line drawn by the three princes has been prepared, and at that time, the Ministry of Justice only needs to follow the normal steps to investigate, and none of them who should escape can escape, and the evidence will also be found in their mansion." β
Emperor Wan's eyes burst out with brilliance, and he laughed twice, "Ziyan, it's really terrifying." β
Shen Yinqiu paid attention to the prince's expression, and the other party also smiled lightly, and he couldn't see any unusual emotions.
The emperor said: "I will let people interrogate this thief, and in order to have a long night and many dreams, I will send someone to arrest the three princes of Xinzi Country later!" β
Wan Qiyan smiled and nodded, after being identified by Lin Ze, the seventh prince of Xinzi Kingdom, he had already recognized all the people of Xinzi Kingdom who were hidden in the protection of the two countries, and now he caught the third prince without any pressure at all.
"The matter has come to an end, and it is time for the emperor and Weichen to retire." Wan Qiyan saluted.
Shen Yinqiu followed him and saluted, the smile on the emperor's face faded a little, and he proposed: "You see that it is getting late, why don't you two rest in this palace for the first night." β
Of course Shen Yinqiu didn't want to.
Wan Qiyan has his own way of coping with it and said: "Back to the emperor, at such a critical moment, it is better not to make people outside the palace suspicious. β
Who the people outside the palace refer to, everyone knows it, and sure enough, when it comes to this, Emperor Wan Qi will let him go, he nodded yes, and asked the Degui around him to send them out.
Le An stood beside Emperor Wan Qi, watching Shen Yinqiu's back leave, when Shen Yinqiu walked to the door, Wan Yanyan lowered her head and said something to her, she looked back at Le An, and as soon as the two looked at each other, Shen Yinqiu withdrew his gaze.
When did she have the duty of coaxing the princess?
After the two of them left, Emperor Wan Qi touched Le An's top and asked a few words about her physical condition, and only after learning that there was indeed no major problem did he ask other questions.
"Le'an, when did the relationship between you and Shen Yinqiu become so good?" He was not blind, just now Shen Yinqiu specially looked back at this stupid girl, and people were happy.
What magic does this Shen Yinqiu have?
Le'an didn't hide it, but shared excitedly with Emperor Wan Qi; "Father, would you like to reward Shen Yinqiu with a palace card to enter the palace? She'll be my friend from now on! β
"Friends? My father found you so many famous generals and girls before, and you couldn't look down on them, so why didn't you ...... You've only seen her three times, did she tell you something? Emperor Wan Qi said with some suspicion.
Le An shook his head, "Father, all the famous generals and girls you are looking for are not fun, they have other thoughts, they will only compliment people, and they are not happy to look at, Shen Yinqiu is different, Father and Emperor She is in front of her daughter, she gives me a very real feeling, she will not flatter me and I will not say a lot, the most important thing is that when I encounter danger, I really will not hesitate to stand in front of me, although I know that I am a princess, she should give her life to save me, but it is to give people a feeling that they can be trusted!" Okay, father, you just give her a palace card, my daughter is so lonely in the palace alone, my father and the prince, brother and fourth brother and queen are all busy, just me......"
Emperor Wan Qi soothed: "Okay, okay, but Le'an, you have to remember that Ziyan is not an ordinary person, we can see the relationship between him and Shen Yinqiu, although I don't know how much truth there is, but in the end, he is not a person who can stay in the palace." β
When the crown prince heard this, he sighed and said, "Father, you told Le'an these ...... so quickly."
"I know." Unexpectedly, Le An seemed a little calm. "I know that Cousin Ziyan spares no effort to do this, not power."
Emperor Wan Qi groaned: "It's hard to say, he can find out so many clues that his father can't find, which is enough to show that the power behind him is extraordinary." β
The crown prince also had this concern, but he couldn't find a reason for Wan Qianyan to do this, and out of that little gratitude, he still said something for Wan Qianyan: "Father, when we get the military power, we can prove whether he has ulterior motives." β
Yes, with the military power in hand, who would dare to oppose him and the country of the dynasty!
Emperor Wan Qi nodded, "Then, let him do the affairs of the Hou Mansion tomorrow, which can be regarded as his wish for many years." β
The prince smiled and replied, let Wan Qiyan personally copy the Hou Mansion and regain the military power in the hands of the eldest princess, and the spearhead will be pointed at him. Even if everyone knows that this is the emperor's order, who would dare to argue with the emperor?
Then only Wan Qiyan was criticized.
Was he really willing to be used as a gunman?
