Chapter 136: Who is going to assassinate her
Fu Mingyue saw that a short arrow flew out in the dark, and before she had time to think about it, she blocked in front of Bai Junzhuo, but fortunately, the guards around the two reacted quickly enough, and raised their knives to intercept the short arrow.
Although the arrow was stopped, Fu Mingyue moved too violently, pulling Bai Junzhuo to fall to the ground together, Bai Junzhuo sat up, and hurriedly asked, "Have you fallen somewhere?" β
Fu Mingyue frowned slightly, covering her lower abdomen, her face was a little pale.
Bai Junzhuo helped her up and said anxiously: "What are you still doing in a daze, send Niangniang back to the palace quickly!" β
The palace people immediately went over to help Fu Mingyue, and Bai Junzhuo instructed his two guards again: "You guys go and take a look, catch the assassin just now." β
The two turned around and left, and Bai Junzhuo rushed to the Rain Palace with the people from the upper palace.
When he arrived in the hall, Bai Junzhuo checked Fu Mingyue up and down, and made sure that the fetus in her womb was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I'm scared to death, it's okay." β
Fortunately, Fu Mingyue is not like the concubine in the TV series, she fell and dropped the child.
"But I still feel abdominal pain......" Fu Mingyue looked at her with some concern.
"I'm afraid that the fetal gas is slightly moved, I'll go to the pharmacy to get you some fetal medicine later." Bai Junzhuo immediately said with some loss: "I'm sorry, it's me who has caused you trouble." β
Fu Mingyue smiled reluctantly, shook her head and said, "It's not you, maybe this arrow is coming at me." You are just His Majesty's new favorite concubine in their eyes, and there is no need to kill you now. It's just that I'm pregnant, and they're not going to make me feel better. β
Bai Junzhuo was puzzled: "Didn't you say that the news of your pregnancy was not announced?" β
Fu Mingyue said helplessly: "Which concubine doesn't have a few henchmen around her?" The fact that I am pregnant has already been leaked. β
Bai Junzhuo frowned and thought about it, and then said: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt this child, and those dishonest concubines should also learn a lesson." β
Fu Mingyue was startled, held her hand and said, "What do you want to do?" You're not familiar with the palace, don't mess around! β
"Don't worry, I will scare and scare them at most, let them restrain a little, so that they don't dare to try to harm the fetus in your womb." Bai Junzhuo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "As for punishing them or what, of course you have to wait for the emperor to come back and let him stand up for you." β
Fu Mingyue was still a little worried, she was silent for a long time, and nodded: "You have to be careful what you do, after all, this is the palace." β
Bai Junzhuo nodded, of course she would be careful, and even if she was not careful, in case she provoked someone, there would be her super awesome master Yin to protect her.
Coming out of the Rain Palace, the guards who had gone to arrest the assassin before told Bai Junzhuo that the assassin had been caught and would be interrogated by Gonggong Zhao himself.
Bai Junzhuo immediately rushed to Zhao Chang's place, and saw the assassin who released the cold arrow, a small eunuch, his limbs were tied, and his body was already covered with bruises after a while.
"Father-in-law Zhao, can you ask who is behind the scenes?" Bai Junzhuo asked.
Zhao Chang saw that it was Bai Junzhuo, shook his head, and lowered his voice and said to her: "White girl, the slave just told the Ninth Prince about this matter, and after discussing it with the Ninth Prince, he decided not to alarm the Queen Mother, just find out the person, wait for His Majesty to come back and make plans, and ask the White Girl to keep this matter." β
Don't alarm the Queen Mother? Hmph, Yin Xun is too naΓ―ve, how could the Queen Mother not know about such a big thing. However, Bai Junzhuo still nodded and said, "I know." β
Zhao Chang turned around again and asked the little eunuch, "Are you recruiting or not?" β
The little eunuch didn't speak, and Zhao Chang ordered: "Come on, pour chili water on his wound!" β
Bai Junzhuo's heart was worried for a while, this Zhao Chang looked so amiable on weekdays, but he didn't expect it to be so terrible.
The other palace people did not dare to disobey him, and poured a wooden bucket full of chili water on the man's wound, and the screams of the little eunuch almost toppled the roof.
Bai Jun saw this, frowned and said, "Gonggong Zhao, he just listened to people's orders, there is no need to suffer from this, right?" β
Zhao Chang smiled and said to Bai Junzhuo: "White girl, the palace has always forced assassins to be like this, if the white girl can't bear to look at it, let's go out first, and then tell the white girl when the slave interrogates it." β
Bai Junzhuo looked at the little eunuch, and it happened that the little eunuch also raised his eyes to look at her, and there seemed to be a sad look in his eyes.
Zhao Chang saw that Bai Jun couldn't go out, and he didn't say anything anymore, he gave an order, and immediately a palace person whipped the little eunuch, and for a while, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Bai Junzhuo couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and turned around with her eyes closed, but the screams of the man poured straight into her ears one by one, she couldn't help it, and shouted: "Enough, stop it for me!" β
The palace people were taken aback, and looked at Bai Junzhuo with a whip, and then at Zhao Chang.
Zhao Chang raised his hand to signal them to retreat, and said to Bai Junzhuo respectfully: "White girl, this thing has a very hard mouth, and he won't confess if you don't give him a good taste." β
Bai Junzhuo glanced at the wounds on his body, sighed and said, "If you fight any more, you will die." Father-in-law Zhao, can you let me stay with him alone for a while? Let me ask who is behind the scenes. β
Zhao Chang thought about it, nodded, and asked the palace people to tie the little eunuch tightly to the torture instrument full of barbs, so that he couldn't move, and then led the people out.
Bai Junzhuo walked to the little eunuch's side, wanting to check his wounds, the little eunuch suddenly screamed, his voice was terrible, but he was tied again, and with a slight movement, the barbs on the torture instrument behind his back pierced into the flesh and bones.
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly said: "Don't shout, I won't hurt you, I just want to see your wounds." β
The little eunuch gradually quieted down, sobbing quietly.
After Bai Junzhuo waited for him to calm down, he put him down from the torture instrument, sprinkled medicine on the wound on his body that was bleeding a lot, and then asked him: "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to shoot me?" β
The little eunuch looked at Bai Junzhuo with a pair of eyes open, biting his lower lip without saying a word.
"Are you mute?" Bai Junzhuo asked again.
The little eunuch hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"Then you speak, I didn't provoke you, why did you kill me?"
"Yes...... It was Concubine Shu who asked me to kill you. The little eunuch lowered his head, and his voice was as small as a mosquito.
Bai Junzhuo wrinkled his eyebrows deeply and asked, "Who do you say wants to kill me?" β
"Shu, Concubine Shu," the little eunuch's voice was a little quieter, almost inaudible.
Bai Junzhuo categorically wouldn't suspect her Fu Mingyue just because of this seemingly innocent little eunuch saying a few casual words, and said in an unkind tone: "You fart, Shu Guifei won't harm me, you give me an honest explanation, who asked you to assassinate me, and ordered you to frame Shu Guifei once you are caught?" β
"Slave, slave has no ......" The little eunuch shook his head desperately, "Slave ......"
"Do you know that Concubine Shu almost injured the fetus in her womb just now in order to save me?" Bai Junzhi saw that there was a worried look in his eyes, and it was estimated that he was not a big traitor, so he followed the temptation: "That child is only two months old, how innocent, how can you be so bad, even a child is harmed?" β
The little eunuch cried all of a sudden, crying even more sadly than when he was beaten just now, and after crying for a while, Bai Junzhuo opened his mouth to comfort: "Don't worry, the child is fine." β
Only then did the little eunuch stop crying and sobbed softly.
"Tell me, who sent you to kill me and frame Concubine Shu."
The little eunuch shook his head and said, "I will die." β
"If you don't recruit, Gonggong Zhao will torture you to death." Bai Junzhuo said, "If you recruit you, I can still keep you from dying." β
The little eunuch's face was full of disbelief, "Others say that you are just a backless. Jing's medical girl has only been favored by His Majesty once, and she doesn't even have a title, how can she fight with that person? β
Bai Junzhuo smiled and said to him, "How come the people in the palace only know about last night's events, but they don't know what happened during the day yesterday?" Don't you know that the Queen Mother took me to Jingyang Palace and talked for a while, she liked me very much, and she had already accepted me as a righteous daughter? β
"Really, really?" The little eunuch still couldn't believe it.
Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, "Naturally, true." So don't worry, I won't let you die. β
The little eunuch was silent for a moment, and finally confessed: "It was Wen Zhaoyi who ordered the villain to do this." β
Wen Zhaoyi? How many products is Zhaoyi? His official position is the same as that Ming Concubine, and Zhaoyi doesn't sound as high as Concubine Ming. Hmph, this kind of small character actually dares to bully her, and plans to sow discord between her and Fu Mingyue, I really don't know how thick the sky is!
"I, am I going to die?" The little eunuch asked scaredly.
"Don't worry, I'll have someone take you down to heal later, and I'll protect you." Bai Junzhuo patted him on the shoulder and walked out.
Zhao Chang had been waiting outside, and when he saw Bai Junzhuo coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Bai girl, do you have a clue?" β
"When I asked it, he said that Wen Zhaoyi wanted to kill me." Bai Junzhuo pleaded for him warmly: "Since he confessed, you don't torture him anymore, heal his injuries and let him out of the palace." β
Zhao Chang said with a smile on his face: "Then I will do what the white girl wants." β
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao." Bai Junzhuo thanked Zhao Chang and left here with his two guards.
After she left, Zhao Chang went in and gave the palace people a look, and the palace people immediately went up and strangled the neck of the eunuch with a hemp rope.
The little eunuch didn't have time to shout, stared in the direction of the door, and swallowed his breath after a while.
"Throw the corpse out, but don't let the white girl know." Zhao Chang commanded coldly.

Bai Junzhuo went all the way to the pharmacy, and Shen Qing brought all the mice she raised here. She greeted the steward of the pharmacy, Mama Zhu, and the housekeeper also knew that she went to bed last night, and His Majesty also provoked Concubine Ming for her, and they all felt that she would definitely be on top of the list in the future, so they were extremely respectful to her.
Bai Junzhuo talked for a while, then asked about the matter: "Mama Zhu, all the medicinal materials used by the concubine are taken from here, right?" β
Mama Zhu nodded and said, "It's not just the concubine, Your Majesty and the empress dowager need medicinal materials, and they are also taken from here." β
"Is there a record of access?"
"Yes." Mama Zhu showed her the notes of the medication of each concubine.
Bai Junzhuo flipped through the pages one by one, found Wen Zhaoyi's page, glanced at the medicinal materials she had used in the past month, and gradually showed a calculating smile on his face.
