Chapter 467: You Say There Are Assassins?

"But it's too often. For example, in Xihuamen, there are usually three fixed shifts of guards on duty and patrol in turn, with six people in each shift, a total of eighteen people. However, in the past three days, the guards on duty at Xihuamen have been transferred more than 20 times, and hundreds of personnel have been replaced. The guards guarding the palace gate are generally fixed personnel, and they may not be adjusted for months or even years, but in recent days, the entire palace has been adjusting the military establishment frequently and in small areas. ”

"What do you think is wrong?"

Xuanyue had been an agent and understood that this unusual army movement must have some insider drive.

Xiao Zhengnan said cautiously: "The last general doesn't dare to speculate, but this matter is very likely to be related to the prime minister." ”

Xuanyue was slightly startled, and said quite vigilantly: "Are you sure?" ”

Xiao Zhengnan shook his head and said, "The last general is not sure!" However, the last general's attempt to track down the inside story of this frequent adjustment of personnel was repeatedly prevaricated and obstructed by several lieutenants......"

Xuanyue blurted out: "Those lieutenants are the prime minister's people, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhengnan nodded very solemnly.

Xuanyue stared at a trace of coldness in her eyes, and said, "What does Liu Chengtian want to do?" It stands to reason that he does not have direct command of the palace army, even if those lieutenants are his people, you are the general at the critical time, and only you can mobilize the army. What is the purpose of him doing such a small action behind his back? ”

Xiao Zhengnan said: "This kind of frequent transfer will directly cause chaos in the order of the palace guards, and will cause a lot of disputes and chaotic situations, and the most likely situation is ...... This is the easiest time to sneak into the palace! ”

"You mean there are assassins?"

Xuanyue asked with some surprise.

Xiao Zhengnan said: "There is no evidence that an assassin wants to enter the palace to assassinate, but according to the current situation, this possibility is very high!" ”

Xuan Yuexiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "If the mastermind behind it is Liu Chengtian, then why did he arrange for the assassin to enter the palace?" The people he hates the most in the palace should be me and Xingdi! ”

Xiao Zhengnan said: "The last general also thinks so, so he hurried to report to the queen!" ”

Xuanyue said: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Xiao Zhengnan said: "At the end, the guard of the palace will be strengthened to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters." However, those who have the ability to enter the palace to assassinate are definitely not ordinary skills, and the last general is just worried that the assassin's martial arts are too high, and ordinary guards can't stop them at all! ”

This is indeed a matter of concern.

The guards of the palace, Xuanyue knows.

It can be said that it is not strict, but most of them are ordinary palace guards, and there is no problem in dealing with ordinary masters. But once you meet the top masters, you can't do it. She and Xing Dark were able to break into the palace easily, and if the Assassin's martial arts could reach their level, then it would not be difficult to break into the palace at all.

"Queen Mother, according to the general, this matter should not be publicized, so as not to cause panic. However, it is also necessary to take strict precautions, and ask the queen to allow the last general to send palace guards to patrol and deploy near Qinghua Palace. ”

"You go ahead and do it."

"The last general obeys!"

"By the way, you also send more masters to strengthen the guards of the Red Plum Pavilion."

"Queen, do you mean ......?"

Xiao Zhengnan looked at Xuanyue with some astonishment.

Xuanyue said lightly: "Your sister is now the queen mother, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous and red-eyed, maybe someone will be unfavorable to her." She is your sister, you have to protect her well. Inside this palace, the power struggle is very complicated, and the water is very deep. There are two concubines from the Prime Minister's Mansion alone! ”

She was hinting to Xiao Zhengnan that she wanted to focus on monitoring Concubine Yu and Concubine Liu, maybe one of them had a bad intention.

Xiao Zhengnan said: "Don't worry, the last general will know what to do." ”

"It's okay, you can go by yourself." Xuanyue waved her hand, she was in a hurry to go back to accompany Xing Dark.

"Yes! The end will be retired! ”

Xiao Zhengnan hurriedly went back to arrange a new security task.

Xuanyue returned to the dormitory and saw Xianglian standing at the door solemnly, standing straight and towering, quite funny.

"Slave maid see queen mother."

"No need to be polite."

"Queen Mother, no one has been here since you left."

"Good. Go down, it's none of your business here. ”

"Yes! Empress. ”

Xuanyue waved her hand, drank Xianglian back, and then walked into the dormitory.

Xing Dark was still lying on the bed, although he had fallen into a coma and was confused, but his face flashed with a look of struggle and pain, and Xuanyue knew that he was fighting against the cold in his body wholeheartedly at the moment. If it was before, she would definitely use her body temperature to warm Xing Di, but now she can only watch him suffer, and she can't do anything. The situation made her feel too helpless.

Xuanyue was alone, sitting quietly with him.

Looking at the pained expression on his face, her heart hurt as if it were torn.

Little by little, time passes......

She also seemed to have turned into stone, motionless, just looking at Xing Dian infatuatedly, for fear that something would happen to him.

In the evening, Meijing brought food, but she didn't have an appetite to eat, so she let Meijing take it away after it was cold.

Even when Concubine Xiao came to visit in person, she avoided it.

Concubine Xiao came to thank Xuanyue, she finally became the queen mother as she wished, and completed the enthronement ceremony of the queen mother, and she is already the official queen mother! However, during the enthronement ceremony, Xuanyue and Xing Dark did not appear, and she thought that she had done something wrong and angered Xuanyue. So after dinner, she, the new queen mother, came to visit in person, which can be regarded as a kind of gratitude in action.

However, she didn't expect Xuanyue to avoid it.

Xianglian explained that there was something wrong with Xing Dark's body, and she was relieved.

It turned out that something happened to Xing Dark!

She knew that Xuanyue's heart had always been very nervous about Xing Di, and Xing Di's matter was more important than anything else. She didn't have any connections, she just didn't go to the ceremony.

didn't see Xuanyue, she, the queen mother, went back to her bedroom in a daze.

Xuanyue didn't want to see Concubine Xiao, but she understood that Concubine Xiao came over without any important matter, and she didn't want to leave Xingying, so she simply thanked her.

She's going to be with Xing Dark all the time!

Until he wakes up again!

Until he opened his eyes and was able to see everything!

This is her duty as a wife!

Dead.

The whole palace was silent, like a sleeping lion. Except for a few guards and eunuchs on patrol, most of them had fallen asleep.

Qinghua Palace was quiet, and there was no sound at all.

The people have long since slept.

Xuanyue closed all the doors and windows, the autumn night was very cold, she didn't want the stars to be cold. Now all his energy is fighting against the backlash of the cold, and his body is weakening.

The two candles on the table, flickering weakly with weak flames, occasionally crackling and pouting, broke the dead silence.

Xuan Yue's cold face was already slightly stiff.

She hadn't eaten all day, and her body was a little weak, but it didn't matter to her. Her skills are so profound that she can't die without eating for a few days. It's just that she was originally sad and even more thin and haggard.
