Chapter Twenty-Three: There Are Assassins
Shu Zhaoyi gently added a bowl of tea to Emperor He Hui again, and He Hui drank it happily, and he hadn't been so happy for a long time.
"That's right, Su'er, you said that you also have a good thing, so let's talk about it, it's just a joy and a joy. He Hui put the tea cup on the table and looked at Shu Zhaoyi with a smile.
"Yes. After Shu Zhaoyi put the tea away, she thought about it again and again, and recalled Dong Chuchen's words countless times in her mind, could it be that she was embarrassed by herself, or did she have some unavoidable variables? No matter what, the overall situation was decided. Whether to turn the other cheek with Dong Chuchen or form an alliance depends on itself.
Shu Zhaoyi took three steps back and bowed down.
"The concubine is guilty of capital crimes, please surrender the king. β
He Hui was shocked, he didn't know what kind of reputation Shu Zhaoyi was doing, he had never seen her like this in the past, she was cautious and strict with herself, what other crimes could she commit.
"It's all right, you get up and say. He Hui added his own cup of tea.
"The concubine is greedy, and if I was fortunate enough to meet Miss Qing once, I was full of joy and love. The concubine is stupid and has a short knowledge, and she didn't know that the daughter of the Qing general and the king of Pingdong were married, and she had already said to the general yesterday that the little daughter of the Qing family, Qing Xihuan, was accepted as a concubine and a righteous daughter, and became a brother and sister with Fan'er, and they were friendly to each other and like brothers. β
Shu Zhaoyi said cowardly, she didn't dare to raise her head, and looked at the ground in thought.
Dong Chu was shocked, she was the younger sister of Qing Xihuan, who was her princess, but how could she be promised by her father to be the second brother's princess in an instant, and she was promised to be her sister by her mother.
Dong Chufan was still stunned, but Shu Zhaoyi gently pulled the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground.
"Oh, and this is the case?" He Hui stood up, looked at Shu Zhaoyi's unsurprised face in surprise, and then looked at Dong Chufan.
"Fan'er, you talk to your father about what's going on. β
Dong Chufan knelt on the ground, unwilling in his heart, it was the mother concubine who asked him to meet him, and it was the second brother who asked him to recognize him, why is it all wrong now, is it just a joke of himself?
"Fan'er?" He Hui shouted again, Dong Chufan reacted at this time, looked at He Hui's full smile, was silent for a moment, and then looked at Shu Zhaoyi's calm and calm face, lowered his head, bowed down, and said solemnly.
"Thanks to the love of the father, the son went to the Qing general's house to visit today, and saw the little sister, and it was like a friend at first sight, just like the mother and the little sister, so she was the son and the little sister...... I made a sibling...... Affection. β
Dong Chufan's brows became more and more wrinkled, and finally his voice was lowered, his head hung down, and his thoughts were complicated.
"Hahahaha, it's really so, so good, so good!" He Hui Long Yan Dayue, called Shu Zhaoyi and Dong Chufan, and happily held their hands in the palm of their hands.
"In this way, we are closer to each other, and our family has become closer in the future. β
"Yes. "Worship of the Lady Rites. Pulled Dong Chufan's hand tight.
"The lights have fallenββ" The eunuch in charge of the lamp shouted at the top of his voice, and the curtains on the doors of the three palaces and six courtyards all hung down.
"Concubine Xian, the lights are down, the emperor is resting, you should rest too. The maid Shu'er beside Concubine Xian came back with a lantern, blew out the candles in the Jiaofang Palace, and changed her clothes for Concubine Xian.
"Where is the emperor tonight?" Concubine Xian's red lips curled slightly, and she untied the hairpin.
"The emperor went to Huamu Courtyard by himself and has not come back yet. Shu'er replied.
"Summoning luck, she said that she was lucky, what did she say so implicitly, are you afraid that I will rob it?" Concubine Xian shook off her long hair, looked at Shu'er covered the curtain, and lay on the desk and felt sad.
The red candles in the queen's palace were also extinguished, and as the lights in the queen's palace were extinguished, there was silence in the palaces of the concubines.
In the quiet night, a dark shadow flashed, and the eunuchs in Hehui Palace shouted in surprise.
"Catch the Assassin - Catch the Assassinβ"
Figures flowed on the high wall, and several crossbowmen drew arrows across the night sky, and the figures like the night quickly haunted the walls and disappeared.
As soon as the big event came out, it alarmed several princes' mansions, and the princes quickly gathered in front of the Hehui Hall to worship.
"Son-in-law, see father!"
The door of the main hall slowly opened, and everyone looked up, and there was no one above the main hall.
"In the middle of the night, what are you arguing about?"
I only heard a deep sound behind him, Hehui Junwei was mighty, moved forward, led hundreds of soldiers behind him, and Ming Gonggong carried a lamp beside him. Hurriedly follow the pace of Hehui.
The three princes all turned around and bowed to He Hui behind him again.
"Father and Emperor Join! The son heard that there was an assassin in the palace and came to escort him!" Dong Chuchen bowed, and several princes behind him bowed.
"The son's rescue is late, and the father forgives the sin!"
"Get up. He Hui stepped forward slowly, and behind him, the Jin Ge warriors were wearing battle armor and holding sharp blades, and hundreds of elites were behind him, with a majestic majesty, and the dragon and tiger roared.
"Father Xie!" several princes led by Dong Chuchen stood up. Look at Hehui.
"Sons have a heart, just a little assassin, and they can't hurt their father. Go back and rest, tomorrow you have to discuss politics early. He Hui's voice was loud, and everyone under the steps bowed down and bowed.
"It's good that my father is fine! "The third prince of King Ya - Dong Chuhua saluted, and his long hair was scattered before he had time to comb it, and it was scattered on the ground.
"The third brother has a heart, and when he heard that his father had something to do, he came to escort him when he was not dressed properly, and the younger brother should learn from the third brother. The fourth prince, Dong Chuming, bowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were hooked.
"The fourth brother has said it, it is the responsibility of you and my brother to worry about my father. Dong Chuhua chuckled at Xiang Dong Chuming. The eyes are bright. Under the moonlight, Dong Chuhua's stunning face was reflected in an instant.
"Of course. The fourth prince Dong Chuming was disdainful, and his eyes looked away.
"Alright, get up. With a sigh of Hehui, several princes got up. Before he sent Hehui back to the palace, he only heard the sound of vigor in the distance, getting closer and closer.
"It's too late for the last general to save Qingyuan!"
Everyone looked into the distance, Qingyuan was rushing towards him, and behind him were hundreds of soldiers, standing neatly at the foot of the magnificent hall and bowing.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Qingyuan knelt on the ground, and the golden armor behind him was loud, and the momentum was magnificent. Resounded through the three palaces and six courtyards.
"Aiqing, get up quickly, I'm fine, you're all here, one by one. Haha, get up!"
"Emperor Xie!" Qingyuan got up and stood beside Dong Chuchen.
"General Qing and my sons have a heart, I am pleased, but the main hall is heavily guarded, the little assassin, can't hurt me at all, I'm fine, let's get up and return." β
Qing Yuan saw that Hehui was fine, and sent the emperor away with the three princes.
The elite Praetorian Guards platoon of the brigade lined up to escort behind, and as soon as He Hui turned around, the wind swept across the hall, setting off clouds to cover the moon, and the originally sunny sky was suddenly overcast, and the rain was coming.
"It's not too early, don't pass you, this king will take the lead. Dong Chuhua took the lead and stood up and hurriedly bid farewell to everyone.
"The third brother has no beauty in the house, why should I return it early, it is better to have a rare gathering today, and the second brother we went to visit the eldest brother's house, I haven't visited the eldest brother for a few days, the eldest brother is the head of our princes, but because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he can't come out to meet from time to time, it's sad, we should have this brother's blood and blood in it, you say, isn't it?"
The fourth prince Dong Chuming has been holding it in his arms since the last time he saw his beloved little maid being accepted by the third prince Dong Chuhua as a concubine, and he always wanted to wait for an opportunity to win back a game before he was happy.
Dong Chuhua turned around and chuckled, and said without being angry, "It's best if the fourth brother has a heart, but the night is dark, and the eldest brother is resting, so it's inconvenient to disturb at this time." This king intends to visit again tomorrow, I don't know what the fourth brother means?"
While the two were talking, the thunder was rolling in the sky, and it was raining when the thunder flashed, and Dong Chuhua looked a little nervous for some reason, but his expression was faint and he didn't notice it.
"It's raining, just listen to the fourth brother's house and go to the eldest brother's house to have a look, and hide from the rain by the way. Dong Chuchen took a step forward to look at Dong Chuhua, Dong Chuhua's lips were pale, and he waved his hand again and again, and he didn't know how to shirk it, only to see a dark yellow oil-paper umbrella propped up on his head, and when he turned around, he saw that it was a personal maid - Fu Donglan.
"See the princes, see the Qing generals. Our prince is unwell, the night is cold and heavy, I am afraid of being infected with the wind cold, and the princess of my family sent a slave to take the prince back to the house. β
Fu Donglan bowed, didn't say much, isolated the body of the third prince Dong Chuhua from the fine light rain outside, lowered his head, and looked at the ground with his eyes blank.
"In that case, the third brother should go back quickly, don't ask the younger brother and sister to wait. After Dong Chuchen said goodbye to Dong Chuhua, Dong Chuhua also nodded slightly.
"Don't pass it today, and catch up with everyone another day. Especially the Qing general. Dong Chuhua showed an elegant smile on his face, and his voice was loud.
"King Ya commanded!"
"I heard that there is a young sister in the house who has never met, when will it ......?"
"The third brother is too worried, this sister will be a brother and sister-in-law after that, and after I marry her, I will take my sister to the house to meet her. Dong Chuchen didn't wait for Dong Chuhua to speak, and immediately interjected.
Dong Chuhua borrowed the unknown palace lamp to look at Dong Chuchen's face, the dark light in his eyes was faint, his eyebrows were cold, and he met Dong Chuchen's knife-like eyes, and instantly smiled, and his soothing and handsome face spread his eyebrows and smiled.
"It turned out that I was married to the second brother, and my brother was happy with this bowl of wine, and I wanted to eat a few more glasses when the time came. β
Dong Chuchen saw Dong Chuhua smile, and also raised the corners of his lips.
"Naturally, my brother's cup is indispensable. β
The thunder became louder and louder, and the raindrops gradually became heavier, and the umbrellas of Dong Chuhua and Fu Donglan slowly disappeared into the Grand Palace after saying goodbye.
"Look at him like that, a womanizer, smelling flowers and willows all day long, there is no beauty he can't see. Hey, second brother, you have to take a good look at your sister-in-law, don't let him get carried away. "The four princes Dong Chuming sneered at him, and he couldn't see Dong Chuhua.
"Fourth brother, come back quickly, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it will be inconvenient to go home later." Dong Chuchen chuckled and didn't say anything.
"Let's go, second brother, wait a minute, the eldest brother is really going to sleep. β
"Hey, General Qing, let's go together, it's raining heavily, go to the eldest brother's mansion to take shelter first. Dong Chuchen looked back at Qingyuan. Without waiting for Qingyuan to answer, he saw Gonggong Ming beside the emperor who was coming closely behind him.
"I've seen all the princes, the Qing general~ The emperor said, summon King Pingdong. β
"Hey, it seems that I am the only one who went to the eldest brother's mansion to meet him. Dong Chuming sighed and looked into the distance. Qingyuan smiled and said that he was going home too.
"Don't leave it at that. Dong Chuming left with the maid behind him. Dong Chuchen also said goodbye to Qingyuan and went to Hehui's dormitory.
