Chapter 103: The Concubine Seeks Power (1)

The blade was once again bloody, and even a few drops splashed on Nie Xingji's face. In an instant, terror and bloodshed filled the entire hall, and almost all the Praetorian Guards stood on the spot, exclaiming in unison: "Your Majesty! ”

Hearing the shouts of the Praetorian Guards in unison, Nie Xingyi had not yet felt pain, and was already shocked by the scene in front of him. He looked down and saw a meridian bolt stuck between his chest and abdomen, the sharp blade cutting through the flesh and burrowing it into his skin.

As if unable to withstand the sharp blade, he staggered backwards and fell heavily on top of the corpse, which was as high as a mountain. Blood trickled down the wound, and for a moment, he felt like he was having trouble breathing and his consciousness was about to drift.

This hit Nie Xingyi's vital point, and the assassin had no intention of fighting again, he didn't even throw away his weapon, his body rose and fell as quickly as a leopard, and in a blink of an eye, he had already fought out of the encirclement and ran out of the side door.

The roars of "arresting the assassin" and "passing on the imperial doctor" immediately sounded, and the scene was already chaotic and out of control. Nie Xingchen covered the wound on his left shoulder and shouted in an anxious and worried voice: "Brother Wang! ”

He shouted and ran towards Danqi, but when he swept past Wei Nong's side, he quickly left two words: "Spectator." ”

Before Wei Nong could react, he saw that Nie Xingji had stepped forward to help Nie Xingyi, and said in a loud voice: "What are you doing standing?" Move the king to the side hall! ”

It wasn't until this moment that the situation seemed to be stabilizing, and Hou didn't know where he ran out, looking at Nie Xingji in shock, and said, "The king is seriously injured, so it's better not to move at will until the imperial doctor comes to diagnose." ”

Nie Xingji didn't raise his head, looking very anxious: "Uncle is reasonable. ”

Wei Min looked at all this coldly, and then turned his eyes to look at the top of the main hall. The eldest princess leaned against the side door in the northwest corner, nagging, presumably stimulated by the thick bloody gas; Shen Jue looked at her with frowns, as if he was very worried about her safety; Several other envoys of the Ning Kingdom looked extremely shocked, but they were still calm, and they gathered in a circle and didn't know what to discuss;

On the other hand, several important ministers of Yan Kingdom, some of them have been hiding under the desk, and they are crawling out in embarrassment at the moment; There are also people who pretend to be loyal ministers, instructing the Praetorian Guards to clean up the scene and urging the imperial doctors; There were also people gathered around Nie Xingyi, looking extremely worried......

Wei Min sneered, and wanted to leave the Hanyuan Palace, which was full of killing, but was stopped by a Praetorian Guard commander: "The queen mother stays." The lowly suspects that you are an accomplice to the Assassins. ”

"Oh? Why do you say that? Wei Nong asked expressionlessly.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard looked righteous and awe-inspiring: "Many people have seen it, you have clearly fallen off the Danqi, but the assassin did not kill you; Also, the king could have left the main hall, but you kicked him so that the assassins had a chance to attack him. ”

Wei Nong smiled when he heard this: "Since you can see it so clearly, then you should tell me, why did the palace suddenly fall down the Danqi?" ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard frowned, did not make a sound, and did not dare to make a sound.

Wei Nong disdained him, and coldly sarcastic: "It's really difficult for you, the scene is so chaotic, you have been paying attention to the king, but you have no chance to save him." It's not enough to step on someone else's corpse afterwards, and I want to step on the corpse of the main palace as a hero. ”

Ignoring her embarrassment, she slowly approached the Praetorian Guard commander and looked at his uniform level: "No wonder you can be the commander, it turns out that you know this very well." You may not know that this palace was in the Gu some time ago, and today it was after taking the medicine given by the Queen Mother that it caused madness. You'd better report this to the Queen Mother and see what she answers? ”

When these words were settled, Wei Nong didn't look at him at all, and he didn't care about Nie Xingyi's life and death at all, and he wanted to continue walking, but he heard Nie Xingji's voice behind him: "The queen is slow." Just before everyone watched, they all saw that you pushed the king down from the Danqi......" Nie Xingji didn't continue.

Wei Min squinted at him with a pair of bright eyes, and saw that he had a non-empathetic expression. She was silent for a moment, but did not resist again, allowing several Janissaries to "invite" her out.

Almost at the same time, Helian Biyue also arrived at Hanyuan Hall with the imperial doctor. Xu had mentioned the situation in the palace to her, but she did not show too much emotion about the corpse, first made sure that the envoys of Ning Guo were not injured, and immediately ordered someone to escort them back to the post house for resettlement, and strictly "protected"; Subsequently, she ordered the palace to be searched, the city gates were blocked, and the Gyeonggi Guard was ordered to search for the Assassins.

After these two things were settled, the imperial doctors also had a preliminary diagnosis of Nie Xingyi, used medicine and needles, and said in fear: "Back to the Queen Mother, although the king was injured to the point, the wound was not deep. The first priority is to take out the weapons first. ”

Helian Biyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and heard Nie Xingji say to her: "Brother Wang's injury can't be delayed any longer, we have to find a place to heal as soon as possible." ”

Helian Biyue opened her mouth, and the sentence "Go back to Longqian Palace" was stuck in her throat. She glanced at Nie Xingji suspiciously, her eyes like knives about to kill him.

But Nie Xingji didn't have any weakness at all, nor did he demonstrate arrogantly or gloat, just frowned slightly, waiting for her to show off.

Helian Biyue couldn't help but suspect that it was Nie Xingji's hand, and was even more worried that the Long Qiangong had been ambushed by him, and after thinking about it, the East Palace had been vacant since Nie Xingyi ascended the throne, and it was clearly safer, so he ordered hatefully: "The East Palace is closer to here, first move the king to the East Palace temporarily!" ”

"Yes." A group of Praetorian Guards who escaped death, under the guidance of the imperial doctors, carried Nie Xing out of the back door of Hanyuan Hall and headed towards the East Palace.

Helian Biyue turned around and searched around the hall, only to see the person she was looking for, and said: "The mourning family wants to know everything that happened tonight, I don't know if the eldest princess and the definition Hou are willing to tell one or two?" ”

The eldest princess was gagging just now, and she had just recovered at the moment. Definition Hou was helping her to be smooth, and when he heard Helian Biyue's words, he looked hesitant and looked very embarrassed.

Although the eldest princess's face was pale, she didn't want to show her timidity in front of Helian Biyue, and immediately responded: "Okay." I have something to ask you. ”

Several newly arrived eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward to help the eldest princess and followed Nie Xingyi's team away.

It was only at this time that the assassination came to an end, ignoring the corpses of the hundreds of people in front of him, Helian Biyue was still able to endure the devastation of this hall. She stood on top of the Danqi, looked down at the Nie Xingji under the Danqi, and asked in a condensed voice, "What about the queen?" ”

"The queen mother was stimulated, and Gu poison attacked, wanting to be unfavorable to the royal brother. When the retainer saw that you were not there, and that Brother Wang was injured again, he took the initiative to temporarily imprison her. Nie Xingji slowly put away his eager expression, and continued with a faint expression: "When Brother Wang's injuries are stable, the retainer will hand her over." ”

Helian Biyue's heart was shocked, and he sneered: "Good boy, do you know why your father gave you the word 'respect' when you were crowned marquis?" ”

Nie Xingji didn't answer, but gradually smiled on his face: "Then do you know why my father let her naturalize the Helian clan when he accepted my mother's concubine?" ”

These words seemed to hit Helian Biyue's sore spot, and her face immediately changed greatly: "If there is any mistake in the king this time, the mourning family will definitely not let you go!" ”

Nie Xingji sighed: "Where did you start with this?" The retainer was a loyal escort, and he was injured in a vicious fight with the Assassins. It was obvious to all present. ”

"Of course, you are the queen mother, and you can cure your son of the crime of 'protecting the unfavorable'." Nie Xingchen straightened his sleeves and said calmly, "Brother Wang already has children, so you don't have to worry about having no successor to Dayan." ”

"Brute!" Helian Biyue never thought that Nie Xingji would be able to say such a rebellious thing publicly, and she couldn't help but tremble with anger: "Someone! Come! Escort the Marquis down! Immediate execution! Execute! ”

When the surrounding Praetorian Guards heard the order, they had already stepped forward to receive the order, but when they heard that the Queen Mother was going to execute the Marquis, they didn't dare to act rashly.

Nie Xingjian looked calm, and smiled indifferently: "Brother Wang's life and death are uncertain, and it is too early for you to execute your sons now." ”

"What do you mean?" Helian Biyue suddenly raised her voice.

Nie Xingji had already turned around, stepped on the corpse on the ground and walked out of the hall, and said as he walked: "Erchen is in the Jinghou Mansion, waiting for your summons at any time. ”

Helian Biyue glared at his back viciously, and ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on the Jinghou Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without the mourning family's handwritten edict!" ”

*****

But in an hour, Nie Xingji's words were corroborated.

In the East Palace, several imperial doctors knelt in front of Nie Xingyi's couch and said to Helian Biyue in fear: "Queen Mother, the king's wound is not deep, and the ministers unanimously believe that the weapon can be taken out." You agreed. Can ......"

"But what?" Helian Biyue was worried about Aiko's injury, and reprimanded angrily: "Say it quickly! The mourners don't have time to talk nonsense with you! ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and after the weapon was taken out, the king's condition deteriorated rapidly, and several ministers saw the king's wounds...... Uh, a couple of bugs got in......"

Helian Biyue didn't react yet: "You mean, the king's wound has maggots?" ”

The imperial doctors looked at each other, and finally a bold man replied, "It's not maggots...... The ministers suspected that the king had been poisoned. ”

"Gu poison?" Helian Biyue exclaimed in surprise.

Ming Danshu, who had just arrived at the East Palace, happened to hear this sentence outside the door, and the person stopped at the threshold in an instant, covering his heart with a look of horror.

Helian Biyue glanced at her, didn't bother to speak, and asked the imperial doctors: "Do you want to say that there is a Gu doctor from Jiang Guo in the Jinghou Mansion who wants him to come over and treat the king?" ”

Several imperial doctors didn't dare to answer, but the person who had just answered replied: "His Royal Highness Jinghou was assassinated at the beginning of this year, and the whole country was helpless, and it was Jiang Guo's Gu who cured His Highness." After all, Jiang Guo never spread the poison thing, and the ministers did not dare to treat it rashly, so they asked the Queen Mother to forgive them. ”

(Some readers said that the weapons I wrote about this time were very special.) Actually, for a Jin Yong Gulong super fan, choosing weapons is not a matter! Snickering! )
