Chapter Seventy-Two: Assassination in Prison

"Do you have any clues that the imperial doctor who eloped with the concubine was imprisoned?" Lin Xin'er moved to the iron fence and approached the eunuch and asked in a low voice.

Finding the imperial doctor should not be part of the plan of the master behind the scenes of Yuehuaguo, it is just a task that she temporarily assigned by borrowing this identity, and the people who know the purpose of her entering the palace this time are not only the people of Shuiyue Palace, that is, Yuehuaguo, who is connected with her, and indirectly contact Ximen Jingyu.

Ximen Jingyu's status in the court is not high enough, if the imperial doctor is involved in a sensitive topic of the royal family, he probably doesn't know the specific details, but his people don't know if they can grasp some clues?

The eunuch shook his head, "The slave doesn't know. I only heard that the imperial doctor was captured by King Xuan and brought into the palace, as for where he was hiding, the slave did not know. ”

"Alright, I'll check it myself." Lin Xin'er said, "You are waiting for me here, and I will leave with your identity first." ”

Lin Xin'er immediately had an idea, and this method was the simplest.

"The minions obey." The eunuch nodded.

Lin Xin'er took off her hairpin, and after a few pounds, she opened the big lock that locked the cell door, and the eunuch entered the iron prison and took off his coat, and lay inward in the corner of the wall, wearing Lin Xin'er's bloodstained clothes.

And Lin Xin'er put on the eunuch's coat, put on the eunuch's hat, carried the lunch box out of the cell, and locked it again.

After bowing his head and walking out of the prison, the guards didn't notice anything, and let Lin Xin'er take the opportunity to leave.

At this time, it was already dark, Lin Xin'er was like a night cat skimming deftly in the palace, searching for every suspicious place in the palace according to the memory of the drawings, and even the Jinyang Palace where Ximen Jinglie was located she sneaked in freely.

But after a busy night, I didn't find any clues.

After a busy night, Lin Xin'er pretended to be a eunuch delivering food and returned to the prison in the criminal room.

"Huh? Why are you here to deliver food again? Didn't you just send it? The guard looked at Lin Xin'er suspiciously.

Lin Xin'er lowered her head, and when she heard him say this, she suddenly felt bad, and dropped her lunch box to avoid the guards and ran towards the prison.

The guards shouted after her, but Lin Xin'er ignored it completely, and quickly came to the front of the prison where she was being held, only to see the eunuch who replaced her lying sideways inward, stabbed in the back, and blood had soaked her back.

"Ahh Princess Xuan has been assassinated! The guards followed, and when they saw the eunuch who had been stabbed and died, they ran out screaming.

"Wait!" Lin Xin'er grabbed the guard back and leaned against the iron bar, "If you don't want to cause trouble for yourself, shut up!" ”

The guard obviously felt that the opponent's martial arts were extraordinary, so he subdued himself with his shot, and stared at Lin Xin'er with surprised eyes, only to realize that this person in eunuch clothes was a woman.

He was on duty to replace the previous guard, and he hadn't seen Lin Xin'er's face, so he didn't know the woman in front of him.

"This person died when you were on duty, and you weigh the severity of the problem." Lin Xin'er said in a deep voice.

"This ...... This...... It's Princess Xuan who died......" The guard said tremblingly, Princess Xuan's assassination was a big deal, and he couldn't hide it!

"Princess Xuan is not dead." Lin Xin'er said as she took the key from the guard, opened the cell, grabbed the guard and went in together, walked to the eunuch's side, raised her foot to straighten the eunuch's body, and lay on her back.

"Huh?" The guard clearly saw that it was really not Princess Xuan, even if he didn't know Princess Xuan, he knew that the princess would never be like this, the dead one was obviously a man, and it was a eunuch he knew who served in the criminal room.

Lin Xin'er let go of the guard, and at this time, she expected that he would not shout casually.

This is the prison of the criminal room, and there are usually few royal relatives who are detained here, even if there are occasional, they will not stay here for long, so at this time, she is detained alone in the entire prison, which also makes it more convenient for everyone to act.

Lin Xin'er took off her eunuch uniform and threw it on the eunuch who had been killed.

The guard looked at Lin Xin'er, who was dressed as a palace maid, and asked suspiciously, "Are you?" ”

"I'm Lin Xin'er." Lin Xin'er did not hide her identity.

"Ahh The guard gasped, things were beyond his comprehension.

Lin Xin'er raised her foot and kicked and swept in the cell a few times, making it appear that she had argued.

At this time, someone came in from outside the prison, and it was several palace guards.

Since the prisoners in the prison cells were not dangerous, the guards were very loose, but there were guards patrolling the vicinity at all times, and the guard was heard just by shouting, and soon someone arrived.

"What happened?" The well-trained guards saw the corpse lying on the ground at a glance.

"It was he who wanted to assassinate the princess, but fortunately he was saved by this guard." Lin Xin'er replied calmly.

"Are you Princess Xuan?" The guards looked at Lin Xin'er.

"What? Not convinced? Do you want someone to check whether this princess has just been reprimanded with a rod? Lin Xin'er's voice was raised a little, with a little majesty.

"Oh, no." The people who seemed to be guarding the little leader hurriedly denied it, they were just surprised that the dignified princess was actually dressed as a palace maid.

But fortunately, it was not Princess Xuan who died, otherwise an assassin would have succeeded in assassinating, and their patrolling guards would also be punished.

"This princess wants to meet the emperor, it's too unsafe here." Lin Xin'er said with palpitations.

"Yes, this matter will be reported to the emperor immediately." The leader of the guards arched his hand and said, "According to this, please ask the princess to wait in the criminal room first." ”

The prison can't continue to be done, and everything has to wait for the emperor to make a decision.

"Okay." Lin Xin'er nodded.

After the guards hurriedly left, Lin Xin'er walked out of the cell with the prison guards.

"Do you know what to say when you see the emperor?" Lin Xin'er asked in a low voice as she walked.

The guard nodded as if he was a derelict assassin to a meritorious person who saved the princess, he knew that such a change had two opposite meanings to him, and he clearly saw that Princess Xuan was walking as fast as the wind, not at all as lame as she was now.

Things in the palace have always been unpredictable, and when he entered the palace, the master who led him told him to turn a deaf ear and not see it, so that he could safely ask for food in the palace.

"Don't worry, princess, the slave knows what to say and what not to say." In addition to being frightened at first, this guard also reacted smartly.

After discovering Princess Xuan's secret, he must keep his mouth shut and pray that he will not be killed by someone he can't afford to provoke.

"Very good, the matter is done, this princess will not treat you badly." Lin Xin'er smiled, and according to the conventional statement, she gave the guard a reassurance.

However, Lin Xin'er's voice took a turn for the worse, "If the truth of this matter is leaked, your life should be over." ”
