Chapter Twenty-Seven: Who Sent the Assassins?
Chapter XXVII: Who Sent the Assassins
Leng Yue smiled secretly in her heart, the emperor is really good at acting, looking at the proud appearance of the queen and Zuo Peony, the tail is about to rise to the sky, but she doesn't know that she is being played with by herself.
Leng Yue pretended to be angry and walked out of Qifeng Palace, and when she arrived outside the palace, Ruan's father-in-law said: "Niangniang, the emperor told the slave to send you back in a sedan chair, it is dark, and the road is not easy to walk." ”
Leng Yue's heart was warm, the emperor was really good to her, and even noticed this detail, so she didn't shirk and got into a sedan chair and returned to Huiyue Palace.
Leng Yue entered the house and unexpectedly saw Concubine Lin waiting for her.
Concubine Lin looked at Leng Yue and smiled, "How could someone as smart as you make such a mistake?" Say, what is your purpose? ”
Leng Yue smiled faintly and said, "Concubine Lin, who are you sacred?" ”
Concubine Lin put away her smile and changed it to an indifferent expression: "You don't care who I am, I know that the emperor is no longer humane, and the evil seed in Zuo Peony's stomach may not be who it is." I don't want anything else, as long as the crown prince succeeds to the throne, will you help or not? ”
Leng Yue yawned lazily and said: "It has nothing to do with me whether the crown prince succeeds to the throne, but I will never help you, this is a harem, not your back garden, how can you have friends?" Some are just enemies. ”
Concubine Lin smiled coldly, and suddenly changed back to that sick look: "Sister is so ruthless, sister won't bother, cough cough cough cough ......"
The cold moon is cold, this woman's face changes faster than turning a book, she even knows that the emperor can't be humane, it seems that she won't take action against Zuo Peony. In fact, a Zuo Peony is not to be feared, the biggest rival in front of her is Concubine Lin, but she doesn't look like a queen, so who is the force behind her?
"Ah Jiu." Leng Yue called.
Nian Jiuling walked out of the dark grid and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Tell Lin Wenlang, Ling Tian and Yan Niang to do their best to investigate the origin and background of Concubine Lin, I don't want to fight a battle that I am not sure of." Leng Yue twisted the silk handkerchief hard, this was the first time she felt the crisis.
Nian Jiuling also saw her abnormality, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, you have us!" At present, your power is not weaker than that of the queen, and as for the crown prince, you don't have to worry too much, what he has done has already lost the support of the people, and no one will support him. ”
Leng Yue frowned and said, "The prince is not stupid, he knows his situation, so he has Concubine Lin." Concubine Lin was dedicated to the emperor by the right minister, and I don't know if he has an agreement with the crown prince. ”
"Well, this is to investigate, Concubine Lin's appearance is indeed a bit sudden, you have a good rest, I'll go out to do errands." The nin-year-old smiled dotingly and returned to the dark grid.
Leng Yue sighed, in the huge Huiyue Palace, there are only two people who can get close, Ruyi is just a child and can't protect himself, so he can't enter the inner hall from time to time. The other palace people, don't provoke them, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be bribed or killed in vain.
After resting for a few days, Leng Yue's mood was much better, and she suddenly ran over in a panic: "Niangniang, it's not good, the emperor has been assassinated......"
Leng Yue involuntarily stood up, grabbed Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, what did you say?" Say it again?! ”
Ruyi said softly: "The letter I just heard from the slave said that the emperor saw that the weather was good today, so he asked a few ministers to go hunting in the paddock together, and I didn't want to suddenly rush out of a dozen masked assassins halfway through, chasing after them all the way...... Afterward...... Later, the emperor fell off the cliff ......"
"What?!" When Leng Yue heard this, it suddenly exploded above his head, thunder on a dry day. Sitting down softly, I suddenly felt as if my mouth and nose were suffocated into deep water...... The emperor was assassinated, and if he died at this time, then the crown prince would succeed to the throne smoothly, and his situation would be even more unpredictable. But these cold moons don't care, she cares about the emperor even more, I don't know when, that bright yellow figure has entered her heart deeply, like a father and a brother...... Tears, meander down......
The body was lifted up by Ruyi, and he stroked Leng Yue's chest while saying, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the emperor is fine." ”
"What?!" Leng Yue held back her tears when she heard this, and suddenly held Ruyi's hands...... When the joy reached the peak, suddenly my heart darkened, and a huge pain struck again. "You lied to me, how could others make a mistake in such a big matter?"
"The emperor is really fine, if the mother doesn't believe it, the slave will accompany you to take a look." How to gasp for breath when Ruyi speaks.
Leng Yue looked at him suspiciously: "Since you are so sure, why are you so sad?" What's going on? ”
Ruyi will not say anything, and turn his face away. Leng Yue was even more anxious, turned him around and asked, "Ruyi, what's the matter?" Say it quickly! Do you want to kill me? ”
He nodded heavily and said, "It's Lin Wenlang, Lord Lin and the emperor have changed clothes...... The cliff is very high, Lord Lin ...... Walked badly...... When someone went down to the bottom of the mountain, they saw Lord Lin...... Flesh and blood have been broken...... But that dress is the emperor's dragon robe like a fake. ”
"Ahh As if something had been pulled out of her body, Leng Yue collapsed to the ground limply and dazedly.
She fell into a panic, she couldn't believe that Lin Wenlang, who was so handsome, could die young? I can't help but recall all the things after I met Lin Wenlang, remembering his repeated teasing in the Leng family and helping him several times in the palace; Think of his ruffian smile, bright eyes, and witty words...... Could it really be that God is jealous of the talent, and let such a superb person in the world die unexpectedly?!
In the midst of the pain, I suddenly remembered something again. Leng Yue hurriedly asked Ruyi and said, "Your Majesty ......"
Ruyi replied: "The emperor personally interrogated the two assassins in the imperial study. ”
Leng Yue wiped her face and redressed, she was going to go to the imperial study to personally confirm whether Lin Wenlang was really dead. However, when she arrived at the imperial study, she was stopped by Ruan's father-in-law, and Leng Yue didn't want to embarrass him, so she went to a remote corner and waited. The windows of the study were open, so there was a sound of conversation coming from inside......
"They all committed suicide by taking poison, who is going to harm me?" The emperor's voice was loud, mixed with anger.
"Could it be...... Chaise? "This is the voice of the Queen, isn't she grounded? How did you get to the Imperial Study? No wonder Grandpa Ruan didn't let her in.
"Impossible, concubine? Her child has not yet been born, and she doesn't know whether it is a man or a woman, how can she covet this throne. The emperor paused and sneered: "It's you, the queen, a good son." You go back to Qifeng Palace, don't come out if you have nothing to do. "The emperor issued an eviction order.
It didn't take long to see the queen walking out of the imperial study with an angry face, and Leng Yue came out of the shadows, this time Gonggong Ruan didn't stop her.
As soon as Leng Yue entered the imperial study, he saw the emperor sitting on the throne dejectedly, and saw Leng Yue stunned for a moment, and his face eased slightly. Leng Yue ignored the two dead corpses on the ground, stepped forward and pulled the emperor up, carefully, after seeing it up and down clearly, she threw herself into his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm scared to death." ”
The emperor felt Leng Yue's heartfelt trembling, hugged her happily, and comforted: "It's okay, I'm okay." ”
Leng Yue sobbed in the emperor's arms, and gradually turned into crying loudly. She felt sad in her heart, although the emperor was fine, but Lin Wenlang died. His death made him unacceptable, and although he didn't love him, he loved him as an older brother.
The emperor let Leng Yue vent in his arms, and at this time, Gonggong Ruan outside the door sang loudly: "The prince has arrived-"
The emperor was cold, and stared at the door fiercely......
