Chapter 259: The Emperor is Assassinated
A crescent moon, suspended in the air.
There was silence all around, and there was no sound except for the cold wind in the night.
An Ruqing stared straight at Xiao Ying as she approached step by step, she couldn't help but take a step back, watching Xiao Ying walk around stiffly like a puppet, and her heart tightened a little.
Mo Nanchen immediately stretched out his hand to protect An Ruqing, he looked at Xiao Ying vigilantly, his cold black eyes were full of vigilance.
Xiao Ying was obviously walking wrong, and she looked like she had lost her soul, not to mention that she was still holding the big knife that was dripping blood in her hand.
An Ruqing looked at Xiao Ying uneasily, she had known Xiao Ying for a long time, and she knew that Xiao Ying was weak and would never take these sword things.
Now she is holding this big knife, but I am afraid that I don't know where it came from.
"Lord Wang, she is ......"
An Ruqing looked dazed, she had never seen Xiao Ying like this, and now seeing her holding a knife and coming over, her heart trembled.
When looking at Xiao Ying's unfocused eyes, An Ruqing was even more uncomfortable as if she was being grabbed by a hand.
She quickly ran forward, put her hands on Xiao Ying's shoulders, and shook vigorously: "Xiao Ying Xiao Ying wake up!" What happened to you? ”
The movement of shaking her was very violent, and Xiao Ying slowly came back to her senses.
When her eyes looked at An Ruqing, who was worried, Xiao Ying opened her lips in surprise: "Princess? ”
She wondered how she could be here, but the next second, when she saw the blood-dripping knife in her hand, she screamed in horror.
"This ...... How could a slave or maid hold a sword! ”
Xiao Ying retreated in fright, and the knife slammed to the ground, and her eyes couldn't stop flashing with panic.
"Don't be afraid, think carefully about what happened before?" An Ruqing hurriedly stepped forward and patted her lightly to achieve a soothing effect, and then she raised her eyes to look at Mo Nanchen, and asked gently with seductive words.
Hearing this, Xiao Ying shook her head truthfully.
She only remembered that she had gone to rest after nightfall, and she couldn't remember anything else, let alone where the blood-dripping knife came from.
Xiao Ying shook her head in horror, her pupils trembled, and her breathing was extremely heavy.
An Ruqing stood aside and didn't know what to do, she had known Xiaoying for so long, so she naturally didn't want her to be like this.
But at the moment, she didn't know what was going on, and she couldn't even help in a hurry.
Mo Nanchen's dark eyes sank slightly, he stepped forward and hugged An Ruqing's weak waist, and whispered to reassure: "Qing'er, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter, don't worry too much." ”
He didn't want to see his Qing'er, and he was always worried about Xiaoying.
As the words fell, Minghui rushed over with his sword, and when he saw the big knife on the ground, his black eyes looked keenly at Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying was so frightened by Minghui's eyes that she shrank behind An Ruqing, she bit her lip tightly, her eyes were full of tears of fear.
For Xiao Ying, who didn't know what was going on, but only knew that she was holding a blood-dripping knife as soon as she woke up.
Everything that happened tonight was something she had never thought about.
"Minghui, you go with this king to investigate this matter."
Leaving a word, Mo Nanchen and Minghui quickly disappeared into the night.
An Ruqing helped Xiao Ying, who couldn't walk steadily, back to the room, and guarded her for the second half of the night, and didn't leave until dawn.
In the vestibule.
An Ruqing paced back and forth inside, looking anxious.
It's all been a night, and I don't know if Mo Nanchen and Minghui have found anything.
If it is found, it stands to reason that it should be back, but even if it is not found, how can it be returned in vain, and how can it not be returned.
An Ruqing was very worried, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were dyed with sorrow, and her black eyes with water were full of worry.
When Crimson played with the long whip, what she saw was the scene of An Ruqing's lost soul.
"Ruqing?"
Crimson stepped forward puzzled, she tied the long whip around her waist while nervously asking, "Ruqing, what's wrong with you?" ”
She knew about sleeping with An Ruqing last night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the sky was bright, An Ruqing was gone, and finally when it was completely dawn, she bumped into An Ruqing's worried appearance again.
"You left early in the morning?" Crimson couldn't help but ask.
An Ruqing shook her head, she sighed: "I left in the middle of the night last night. ”
As she spoke, she told all the things that happened last night, and when she said that Mo Nanchen and Minghui had not come back yet, she was even more worried.
"Ruqing, you don't have to worry, my cousin and Minghui are only two people, so they are not so fast."
Crimson patted An Ruqing on the shoulder to comfort her, and after she finished speaking, her eyes lit up as if she remembered something: "It's better like this, I'll ask my secret guard to help too!" ”
After speaking, Crimson stretched out her little finger and put it horizontally in her mouth.
In the next second, a whistle that resounded through the sky seemed to spread throughout the palace.
An Ruqing looked at Crimson in surprise, she knew before that there were countless ways for the ancients to summon people, but Crimson, who was good at blowing a whistle, was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes.
In a short time, more than a dozen people in black fell from head to toe from the sky.
The man in black at the head knelt respectfully towards Crimson: "Miss." ”
"You guys quickly go and find out what happened in the palace last night, don't you ......" Crimson thought for a while, and quickly added: "Check around the palace again, if there is anything abnormal, you all go to check!" ”
"Yes!"
More than a dozen black-clothed people clasped their fists in unison, and when the sound fell, they jumped on the eaves on their toes, and then disappeared into the eyes of several people.
An Ruqing's dark eyes widened, and she was full of surprise.
"Crimson, are all your secret guards so powerful?" She was amazed.
In the palace of Mo Nanchen, there are masters like clouds.
But even so, the crimson man in black could still come and go freely, and his skin was not discovered by Mo Nanchen's people.
From this point, it can be seen that the strength of these black-clothed people is probably still above the ability of the guards in the palace.
Crimson is just the daughter of the general of the border pass, even if she is a general, but she will not be able to have such a powerful secret guard.
Regarding this matter, An Ruqing was puzzled.
Crimson smiled mysteriously after hearing this, and after making a secret move, An Ruqing suppressed her curiosity and did not ask any more questions.
Half a day passed, and it was close to noon.
An Ruqing and Crimson sat at the round table together, and because Mo Nanchen and Minghui did not come back, both of them seemed a little absent-minded.
At this moment, the leader of the men in black suddenly jumped in from outside.
As soon as she saw the person, Crimson immediately got up and couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" Have you checked it out? ”
The man in black clenched his fists, knelt down on one knee, and said truthfully: "The subordinates and others followed your orders to investigate, and then followed the clues to investigate, and found the palace." ”
"What? Palace? ”
An Ruqing slapped the table in shock, her little face was full of surprise, how could Xiao Ying's abnormal things involve the palace.
"The emperor in the palace was assassinated and injured, and the prince was detained after entering the palace." After the man in black glanced at An Ruqing, he told all about the current situation.
After saying that, An Ruqing's black eyes were already trembling slightly.
The emperor is so insidious and cunning, and now Mo Nanchen hit the muzzle of the gun and left, I am afraid that he will not be able to come out for a while.
