Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Wicked Sue First
Zhu'er was stunned after hearing Prime Minister Qi's words on the roof, Miss didn't send anyone except her, and it was impossible to order someone to assassinate Prime Minister Qi, although Zhu'er felt that Miss actually wanted to kill, but as soon as Prime Minister Qi said this, everyone would think that it was this black shadow sent by Sheng Zhiyao.
When Qi Cheng saw those officers and soldiers surrounding him, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart! This time we will definitely be able to catch this thief, this thief dares to kill him at the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department, it is simply bold!
He must catch this thief, and then parade through the streets, so that His Majesty can take a good look at Sheng Zhiyao's true face.
Zhu'er looked at the situation below, and began to worry that Prime Minister Qi really caught this black shadow assassin and slandered her own young lady, she had to quickly find a way to stop this from happening!
At this moment, a cold light suddenly shot out from the hand of the Black Shadow Assassin and flew directly towards Prime Minister Qi!
"Ahh Prime Minister Qi screamed, he felt pain coming from his body, and when he looked down, he saw that an arrow was inserted in his shoulder, and blood flowed!
Prime Minister Qi covered his shoulders and kept stepping back, his face was covered with sweat because of the pain!
Zhu'er saw that Prime Minister Qi was injured, and her heart was suddenly anxious, then she suddenly thought of the medicine bottle that Sheng Zhiyao gave her when she went out, she quickly took out the porcelain bottle, flew out with a light tip on her toes, sprinkled the powder in the porcelain bottle to everyone, and also flew towards Qi Chengxiang.
"Ahh Ahhh Ahhh ”
For a while, the group of officers and soldiers were injured by the poisonous powder, and they fell to the ground and wailed.
Zhu'er grabbed Prime Minister Qi and fled towards the prison of the Criminal Department!
Seeing this, the man in black snorted coldly and chased after him, but because of the poisonous powder planted, his movements were obviously a little sluggish, and his speed was much slower than just now!
After a while, he was thrown away, and looking at the direction of Qi Chengxiang's escape, the man in black clenched his fist hatefully.
It was obviously not the best strategy for him to go into the dungeon alone now, so he had to give up pursuing Prime Minister Qi for the time being.
The Shadow Assassin glanced in the direction of the prison before turning and disappearing into the night.
After Zhu'er escaped into the prison of the Criminal Department with Prime Minister Qi, he breathed a sigh of relief.
She put Prime Minister Qi on the chair, only to find that Prime Minister Qi's shoulder had swelled because of the poisonous powder, and it was obvious that the toxin had seeped into his flesh.
Zhu'er was shocked, she didn't have an antidote, what should she do now?
At this moment, her ears moved slightly, as if she heard movement outside!
She could only run away in disgrace, and now at this time she could not help her own young lady, she only hoped that the young lady would not blame herself when she returned.
When Prime Minister Qi saw that Zhu'er was leaving, he couldn't help but say, "Stop!" ”
Zhu'er's footsteps faltered, and she turned around and looked at him suspiciously.
"Who are you? Why save me? Prime Minister Qi looked at Zhu'er and asked weakly.
Zhu'er didn't answer, just glanced at him lightly, and then walked away without looking back.
After leaving the prison of the Criminal Department, Zhu'er quickly ran in the direction of the Hou Mansion.
And in a corner of the Hou Mansion, Sheng Zhiyao also received the information that Qi Cheng was attacked, and her brows were deeply locked.
She didn't expect Prime Minister Qi to be assassinated, she only guessed that Prime Minister Qi would definitely go to the head of the palace and force the head of the court to sign and take all the blame on herself, after all, all this was planned by Prime Minister Qi, and now it is revealed that he needs a substitute for the ghost.
"Miss, miss." Zhu'er came all the way and came to Sheng Zhiyao's side.
Sheng Zhiyao saw Zhu'er come back alone, and sighed in her heart, it seems that the head of the Wang Yuan has not been saved.
"How?"
"Miss Huiyu, the slave maid is derelict in her duties, and there is no way to steal the head of the royal courtyard back."
Sheng Zhiyao was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's okay, are you injured?" ”
Zhu'er shook her head: "The slave maid was not injured, but Prime Minister Qi injured his shoulder." ”
"I know."
"Miss knows?"
"Yes, I saw that you had been gone for too long, and I was afraid that there would be some accidents, so I let Hongxue go out for a spin, and I just happened to see Qi Cheng attacking."
"Well, Prime Minister Qi was at the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department today, and said in front of everyone that the black shadow was sent by Miss, and said that Miss would pay the price for this, Miss, what should we do now?"
Sheng Zhiyao's brows frowned slightly, she had already thought of this matter, but she didn't have time to come up with a countermeasure yet, she must rescue the head of the palace first, and she couldn't let Prime Minister Qi have a chance to get close again, otherwise the head of the palace would definitely die: "Zhu'er, we have to think of a way." ”
"Miss is still going to go to the Criminal Department to save the head of the royal court?"
Sheng Zhiyao nodded: "Yes, if I don't save him, it will be even more difficult for me to explain clearly." ”
"Miss, I'm afraid it's too late for us to go now, just now I was afraid that Prime Minister Qi would catch the black shadow and slander you, so I saved him after he was injured, and he is now sitting in the prison of the Criminal Department."
Sheng Zhiyao's eyes widened suddenly when she heard Zhu'er's words: "What? ”
"Miss, I really didn't know where to run at that time, so I had to ...... Therefore, Miss, if you go over now, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble, not only will you not be able to save the head of the royal court, but you will harm yourself. Zhu'er explained.
Hearing this, Sheng Zhiyao was silent, she really had no way to go to the Criminal Department to save the head of the royal courtyard in front of everyone, in that case, she would only send herself into the mouth of the tiger, but if she didn't save the head of the royal courtyard, then he would definitely be unable to escape death.
She thought for a moment and said, "Now we have to think of something else." ”
"What do you mean, Miss?"
"We can only find a way from Prime Minister Qi, maybe he can help us." Sheng Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and Zhu'er nodded: "What Miss said is very reasonable, although Prime Minister Qi is hateful, but there is something to be used." ”
An idea suddenly popped up in Sheng Zhiyao's mind: "I think Grandpa Huang already knows about Prime Minister Qi's injury this time, we can take this opportunity to tell him what happened in the prison of the Criminal Department today, and let the matter be told through other people's mouths." ”
Zhu'er thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but Miss, where are we going to find this person?" Maybe before we found it, Prime Minister Qi had already gone to the palace to sue the wicked people first. ”
"I want him to sue the wicked first." Sheng Zhiyao's face flashed with a resolute look.
"Huh?" Zhu'er was a little puzzled, Sheng Zhiyao explained: "What we have to do now is not to go to the Criminal Department to save the head of the royal court, but to let Prime Minister Qi go to the palace to find the imperial grandfather and slander me to send someone to assassinate him." ”
"Miss means to let Prime Minister Qi go to the emperor to report Miss." Zhu'er said in surprise.
Sheng Zhiyao nodded: "That's right, just let Prime Minister Qi denounce me, and I will take the opportunity to let Yang Xiyuan, the servant of the Criminal Department, tell the poisoning of the head of the palace in front of the emperor, as for the matter of the black shadow, Prime Minister Qi insists on retreating to me, we can completely retreat to the head of the palace, they are already a nest of snakes and rats, let them eat dogs, and then the emperor's grandfather will definitely check the two of them, as long as the head of the palace does not die, Prime Minister Qi will definitely not be alive."
Zhu'er suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this: "Miss is clever, this strategy is really clever!" ”
Sheng Zhiyao smiled.
At this time, Zhu'er thought of something and asked, "What should we do about the black shadow?" ”
"This is what we really have to think about, we don't know who sent the black shadow, we can only try to find out who this person is, why he assassinated Prime Minister Qi, or whether it was originally directed and acted by Qi Xiang."
As soon as Sheng Zhiyao finished speaking, the eunuch who delivered the decree walked in.
