Chapter 405: Assassin in the Palace
Chu Mubai asked in surprise: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding in it, or maybe the household registration officer is wrong, and it can't be determined that Lan Jieyu has a problem." ”
Mo Guhan was also full of doubts: "Lan Jieyu has been with me for so many years, how come I have never doubted it?" ”
Yuehua smiled: "That's because the emperor, you have never really cared about her." ”
Yuehua gave him a bowl of shredded chicken and vegetable soup, and then said eloquently: "Actually, the concubine has never doubted Huai'en, after all, after the concubine entered the palace, she is the only person who can speak to the concubine, and she is good friends with the concubine, and has helped me more than once, I don't want to believe it, so I dispelled my suspicions about her again and again."
Even later, in front of Zijin, she was too hasty, neglected to take precautions, and repeatedly exposed flaws, and the concubine didn't want to expose her, lest she misunderstand her and hurt the relationship between us. ”
Mo Guhan's face turned grim: "She once assassinated you?" ”
Yuehua was silent for a moment: "I don't know if the concubine body counts." The first time was after Tan Ruo entered the palace, she noticed that she had a smell of ox knee that could lead to abortion, and the concubine asked her bluntly, but she covered it up.
Later, when Zijin entered the palace, it happened that she made her own initiative and ran to Yajieyu's bedroom to pretend to be a ghost, which was secretly picked up by Huai En. Huai En has always swallowed her anger in the palace, and she will not tolerate the cynicism of other concubines, but this time she plucked Zijin to relieve my anger, which is not her usual style. Moreover, it is too coincidental that Zijin hid his clothes under the stones near the Qingqiu Palace, and he was found by someone the next day and returned to Concubine Ling.
That's it, and later the Taoist priest entered the palace, Zijin used the internal force to penetrate the mung bean, and gave the Taoist priest a hindrance, which could be traced without a trace, and people could not catch the handle. At that time, the concubine suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the Empress Dowager escaped from Ci'an Palace with the intention of taking the concubine hostage, I don't know if you and your brother still have an impression? ”
Chu Mubai thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized: "That time when you were fighting with Mama Lin, you were attacked by someone and hit you in the knee. At first, you thought it was a crossbow arrow in Mama Lin's hand, but it turned out that there were no injuries on the knee, and we didn't find any hidden weapons in the hall. ”
Yuehua nodded: "At that time, my back was to Mama Lin, but the part of the stroke was on the side of the right knee, and my brother's explanation at the time was that he used some special techniques, so none of us doubted it at that time." However, Mama Lin has murderous intent, so she doesn't have to go through such a big deal at all, and she doesn't need to worry about hurting me at all, why don't you use the bow and crossbow in her hand? ”
Mo Guhan frowned: "Later, you asked me, how did the hidden weapon turn into powder in an instant after hitting the target, is it because you have doubts in your heart?" ”
Yuehua nodded affirmatively: "Concentrating the internal force on the hidden weapon is such a big effort, and the emperor also said that there is only one possibility, that is, not to be noticed by the other party." Therefore, the concubine has a very bold guess. ”
"Do you suspect that the person who shot at that time was not Mama Lin, but Lan Huaien?" Mo Guhan debunked it with a word.
"Well," Yuehua nodded lightly: "At that time, there were four people in Huai'en's dormitory, the empress dowager and the little eunuch who helped the abuse didn't know how to do kung fu, Mama Lin was armed with a bow and crossbow, even if the secret arrow hurt someone, there was no need to be afraid of being detected by me." Then, there is only Wynne.
Although she was indeed tied up at that time, if she had kung fu, and Mama Lin was careless about the enemy, she may not have been tied up at all at that time. She could have pulled the beads off her clothes and flicked her fingers to hurt me without a trace. Most importantly, she was in the same position as I was in the direction of my knee. ”
Mo Guhan and Chu Mubai glanced at each other, and then turned to Yuehua again: "If we hadn't arrived at that time, you would have been captured by Mama Lin and used you to blackmail me, and you and the fetus in your womb would also be in danger of life." ”
"I couldn't believe it at the time, because I had no grievances with her, and I even saved her life once. Moreover, Huai En personally told me that she didn't have the emperor in her heart at all, and there was no possibility of hatred out of jealousy, so the concubine only hid this suspicion in her heart again.
It wasn't until later that there was a concubine with unbearable back pain, and Zijin volunteered to rub the waist of the concubine, and the part of the rubbing happened to be the position of the eunuchs in the palace to prevent the concubine from being pregnant and discharged, which could easily lead to miscarriage. Under the questioning of the concubine, she realized that it was Huai'en who misled Zijin.
This incident deepened the concubine's suspicion of her. Maybe it was an accident, but four times or three times, it didn't happen like this. ”
Chu Mubai's expression became more and more solemn: "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, especially from people close to you." I really didn't expect that Lan Jieyu would harbor evil intentions, which is not good for you. Why don't you debunk her on the spot? ”
Mo Guhan took a deep breath: "That's because, since Lan Huaien has martial arts, but he doesn't reveal it, it must not be so simple, and he should have a great background." Yuehua didn't want to startle the snake. ”
Yuehua nodded: "Yes, since she harbors evil intentions, it means that she is not as simple as it seems." She was born as a palace maid and was isolated in the palace, and it was no fluke that she was able to survive the ups and downs of the harem for so many years. At that time, my thoughts were just to verify her identity first, and I didn't want to go to Xingshi immediately to ask for the guilt, if it was just my personal conjecture, it would ruin the relationship between us. If it's true, then it's a surprise. ”
"She was able to enter the palace under the identity of Lan Ting, and she successfully concealed the people who went to investigate, so it can be seen that she does have a background."
"Maybe she bought off the eunuch who left the palace?" Chu Mubai analyzed.
Yuehua picked up the chopsticks and gave them two dishes: "Give me time, let me sort this matter out." Although she did show flaws, it was all my speculation, and she could completely deny it, and easily explained the reason why she was impersonating Lanting's identity, which could not be used as a basis for her conviction. ”
"Well, I will find someone to monitor her, and you yourself should be more careful, try not to contact her alone again, and give her a chance to harm you."
For a while, she didn't dare to act rashly, she didn't have such great courage. And ......"
Before Yuehua could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a chaotic and rapid footsteps outside, and there was a faint sound of shouting in the distance.
Something happened!
Rong Xiang stood outside the door and replied in a panic: "Your Majesty, an assassin has been found in the palace." ”
"What?" Mo Guhan was startled: "There are assassins in the palace? ”
Chu Mubai had already stood up suddenly and opened the door: "Where?" ”
Rong Xiang pointed in the direction: "The Imperial Forest Army has been dispatched to surround the assassins. The assassins were very skilled, and the Imperial Guards feared that they would have allies, so they came to report and protect the emperor. ”
"Where is the Queen Mother?"
"The emperor can rest assured, he has already sent people to protect him."
Chu Mubai turned around and glanced at Mo Guhan, and with an inquiry, Mo Guhan raised his chin: "Go, I have Buchen here." ”
Chu Mubai was ordered, a little on tiptoe, and immediately disappeared, so fast.
Yuehua was also eager to try, looking into the distance, a little unwilling.
Mo Guhan's face sank: "Now that you are pregnant, just give birth in peace, wait for the return, don't go to those dangerous places." ”
Yuehua shrugged helplessly, and came back to sit down: "I just think this assassin is too stupid." ”
Mo Guhan picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it, when he heard the words, he raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say this?" ”
Yuehua glanced at him flatteringly: "Now that no one in Manchang'an knows that the emperor favors me, if the assassin wants to attack you, he should come directly to my Qingqiu Palace, what are you going to do there?" ”
Mo Guhan was overjoyed by her, and reached out to pinch her face: "Even if you still have a little conscience, I know that I spoil you." ”
Yuehua smiled "hee-hee": "Isn't the emperor curious at all, who is this assassin?" ”
Mo Gu snorted coldly: "Are you curious?" The last time I met an assassin on the last Yuan Festival, I haven't scared you yet. ”
Yuehua smiled embarrassedly, and looked at Mo Guhan with her cheeks raised: "Do you think it will be someone from the Blood Hall this time?" ”
Mo Guhan ate the vegetables slowly and methodically, and shook his head: "Chu Mubai will naturally know when he comes back in a while." ”
"It's as steady as Tingyue," Yuehua pouted, "Aren't you worried about my brother's safety?" ”
Mo Guhan took a pair of chopsticks and handed it to Yuehua: "Don't say it's a little assassin, Chu Mubai can catch it." Even if thousands of troops and horses invade the Forbidden City, with General Taiping as the pass, what am I afraid of? ”
Yuehua used these words, so she ate the shrimp balls with Mo Guhan's chopsticks, and shook her head again and again.
The sound of footsteps outside the hall was Chu Mubai's quick departure and return.
Yuehua stood up and asked in surprise, "What about the assassins?" ”
Chu Mubai shook his head: "Please forgive Weichen for being incompetent, he was a step too late, and was escaped by the assassin." ”
Mo Guhan was a little unexpected: "There are so many Imperial Forest Army, but they can't catch a small assassin, and he comes and goes freely, like entering a no-man's land?" ”
Yuehua greeted Chu Mubai: "Sit down and talk." ”
Chu Mubai sat down in his original position, still with a guilty face: "That assassin is extraordinary, and he should not be underestimated. ”
Mo Guhan played with the wine glass in his hand: "What's the way?" ”
"Gang of Heavens!"
"What?" Mo Guhan raised his head suddenly: "Is it the old man of Tiangang who is famous in the rivers and lakes?" ”
Chu Mubai nodded solemnly: "That assassin Xu was in a hurry to get out, so he revealed his true kung fu, used Hun Tiangang's anger to hurt the Royal Forest Army who fought with him, and then took the opportunity to escape." ”
Yuehua naturally didn't understand what "Hun Tian Gang Qi" was, so she couldn't help but interject and ask: "Is this Hun Tian Gang Qi very powerful?" ”
Chu Mubai nodded: "Although we are not in the rivers and lakes, we also know the old man Tiangang's Heavenly Gang, which is an extremely powerful internal strength method, which can transform internal force into a surging and vigorous qi like a mountain and a sea, which is invisible and can be retracted and released freely." When you practice to perfection, you can even take things from the air and control other people's actions from a distance. ”
