Chapter 125: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
After taking care of everything, Bai Wanrou stripped off and went to bed.
It's just that she lies on the foot, but she can't sleep at night.
In my mind, I inexplicably remembered the scene of sharing the bed with Chen Ruzhi when I was in Baifu before, and I couldn't help but feel a slight red on both sides of my cheeks.
Although she was very reluctant at the time, she had been guarding against Chen Ruzhi until she fell asleep.
But when she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep, she felt very sweet.
Surrounded by a great sense of security, I slept until dawn all night, and it was more comfortable than ever.
And Chen Ruzhi really kept his promise, and didn't make any small moves to himself all night.
Of course, except for the part where she came to her senses and found herself being held in Chen Ruzhi's arms affectionately, there was nothing else to pick.
I don't know what the situation on the battlefield is, Bai Wanrou can't stop worrying in the bottom of her heart.
Fortunately, everything is in place, and I believe that it will all be solved soon.
She slept peacefully.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound outside the door, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the night.
Bai Wanrou woke up from her sleep suddenly, she stood up suddenly, and looked at a black figure faintly passing through the door, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
Who is it?
Could it be someone else who sent an assassin to assassinate her?
Suddenly, these questions rose in her heart.
However, no one answered for her.
Soon, a sword came from the crack in the door, glowing with a terrifying cold light.
Under the pry of the long sword, a gap gradually appeared in the originally closed door.
Seeing that the gap was getting bigger and bigger, the figure in black also threw himself into the house.
Bai Wanrou's heart was beating like a drum, she looked at the door, her mouth opened wide, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
"Someone! There are assassins!" The next moment, she suddenly shouted loudly.
The sound was loud, breaking the otherwise silent night sky.
The assassin outside the door was startled, he glanced quickly to both sides, and then entered the room, raised the long sword in his hand, and rushed in the direction of Bai Wanrou.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to pierce into Bai Wanrou's body, Bai Wanrou suddenly dodged to the side very sensitively, and the sword pierced into the air.
The man in black didn't seem to expect his attack to be empty, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he turned around to attack Bai Wanrou again.
At this moment, the door was suddenly broken open, and someone rushed in.
Bai Wanrou's gaze swept away, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
I saw more than a dozen guards with swords surrounding the black-clothed people, and Lin Yi walked in after him.
He first swept around Bai Wanrou's body and found no scars before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take him!"
With his order, the guards captured the man in black.
Seeing that his heart was horizontal, a trace of killing intent crossed his eyes.
Bai Wanrou's eyebrows raised, and she hurriedly walked over and removed his chin neatly.
The crisp voice was remembered in the room, and the screams of the man in black filled everyone's ears.
Then, a white object fell out of his mouth.
Bai Wanrou's eyes swept and she learned that it was poison.
Just now, this assassin wanted to swallow poison and kill himself!
If he was really dead, there would be no living mouth for interrogation.
Immediately, she looked at Lin Yi, raised her chin at the assassin, and said lightly: "Suppress him, interrogate the person who instructed him to assassinate me first, and if he doesn't say it, I will dispose of him in public tomorrow."
Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded: "Obey, princess!"
The guards then escorted the killer back.
Bai Wanrou was the only one left in the room, and she remembered the shocking scene just now, and she was a little scared.
With her own martial arts, she can't match that killer.
If Lin Yi hadn't rushed in time just now
When he arrives, he is afraid that he will die under the sword of the killer.
However, what made her arrive to great shock was that at that life-and-death juncture just now, the first thing she thought of in her heart was Chen Ruzhi.
Does she still have Chen Ruzhi in her heart?
No! No way!
Bai Wanrou quickly rejected this idea in her heart.
She didn't love him anymore.
The face that popped up in my mind just now in a hurry was just an illusion.
Early the next morning, Bai Wanrou got up early.
After she finished washing, she asked someone to call Lin Yi over.
In the room, she sat behind her desk, and Lin Yi stood opposite.
"Did the killer confess last night?" Bai Wanrou asked.
Hearing this, Lin Yi lowered his head, his face tightened, and he replied truthfully: "Returning to the princess, no matter how we tortured last night, he gritted his teeth and refused to speak."
Hearing his words, Bai Wanrou was not surprised at all.
The killer first wrote that he committed suicide by swallowing poison, and at first glance he was a hard bone. qs
But it doesn't matter, since you can't know who is behind it, then execute the killer in front of that person.
It's good to kill chickens and show monkeys!
"Pull him down to the execution ground, execute him in public, and besides, put the news out so that more people can watch it." She said lightly.
Hearing her words, Lin Yi's expression was stunned, and then he guessed that she might want to kill chickens and monkeys, so he nodded: "Yes, my subordinates will do it."
With that, he walked out.
Bai Wanrou looked at his back, and her expression suddenly became solemn.
Could it be that the emperor sent someone to do it?
No, even if he wants to attack the palace, he shouldn't send someone to assassinate him.
Who's that......
Of course she couldn't think of it.
Execution Ground.
Lin Yi released the news early in the morning, and at this time, the execution was already surrounded by people in the inner and outer three layers.
They were noisy and indecisive, and they all knew that the princess of Jian'an Wangfu had been assassinated by assassins last night.
Some people started talking.
"Guess who the princess's assassin is?"
"How do we know this, but the news of the princess's execution of the killer in public, presumably the murderer behind it already knows, he should be very anxious, right?"
Naturally, these ordinary people can't guess the stakes.
And the group of dignitaries in Kyoto suddenly guessed Bai Wanrou's intention to execute the killer in public.
I just want to kill chickens and show monkeys.
It seems that this Princess Jian'an is not a master to mess with!
Bai Mansion, Bai Qingting hurriedly walked to Bai Fengqi's room.
In the room, Bai Qingting's expression was very anxious: "Father, Wanrou went to the assassination last night!"
Hearing this, Bai Fengqi's expression changed slightly, and a trace of worry crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a touch of deep meaning.
He was thinking about who the murderer would be.
But Bai Qingting's eyes were full of Bai Wanrou's safety, and he said, "Father, let's go to the palace to see Wanrou, right?"
Hearing this, Bai Fengqi had this intention, and he just took this opportunity to inquire if Chen Ruzhi had left someone for Wanrou.
"Okay." He nodded in agreement.
The two hurriedly walked towards the direction of the palace.
When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Bai Qingting saw Song Yinhua also rushing over in a panic, and several people met with a worry in their eyes.
Song Yinhua said anxiously to Bai Qingting, "Young Master Bai, do you know if Wanrou is injured?"
Hearing this, Bai Qingting shook his head: "Let's go in and have a look."
So they all walked in.
in the room.
After several people saw Bai Wanrou sitting there safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"It's okay, you're okay!" Song Yinhua ran over
Keep Bai Wanrou's waist and say.
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou showed a smile on her face: "I'm fine, I escaped last night."
After speaking, she looked at Bai Qingting and Bai Fengqi: "Father, brother, you are here too?"
Bai Qingting nodded at her, "Father and I are worried about your body, so let's take a look."
Bai Wanrou nodded, "Come and sit."
After a few people sat down, Bai Fengqi's eyes with a hidden trace of deep meaning fell on Bai Wanrou's body: "Wanrou, you escaped last night, but the people left by the prince saved you?"
As soon as his words fell, Bai Wanrou heard the meaning of his words.
She shook her head with a smile, and thought of a way to say: "It was the guards in the palace who took him down, I was almost scared to death last night, why does my father only care about this, not Wanrou's body?"
Hearing this, a touch of embarrassment crossed Bai Fengqi's face, and he had to smile and say, "You are my own daughter, how can I not care about you?" Just a curious question."
When he had finished speaking, he hung his head and said no more.
But Bai Wanrou knew that he was not just curious, but also wanted to test himself.
Before leaving, Song Yinhua said that he would not leave anything.
She hugged Bai Wanrou's waist and cried to death: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay with you......
Bai Qingting also opened his mouth and persuaded, "What Miss Song said makes sense, what if there are assassins coming again, my brother won't leave tonight to stay with Wanrou."
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou couldn't refuse again.
After all, they are also for their own good.
"Then stay with you." She said.
As soon as the words fell, Song Yinhua almost jumped up with joy.
After Bai Fengqi, an elder, left, a few people were completely let go.
Song Yinhua looked at Bai Qingting with a smile on his face.
She lightly hammered Bai Qingting's chest, and said in a half-joking tone: "Bai Gongzi is not exactly a stubborn one! I was worried about Wanrou just now."
Hearing this, Bai Qingting's eyebrows raised, and he raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to beat Song Yinhua, but his hand was stunned when he reached out in the air, and finally had to take it back in embarrassment.
"What is Miss Song talking about, Wanrou is my own sister, how can I not care about her?"
"Why does something change its flavor as soon as it comes to your mouth?"
When his words fell, a trace of anger flashed on Song Yinhua's face: "What does Bai Gongzi mean by this?"
"I was just joking with you just now, but you took it seriously, and you couldn't help but make trouble at all!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Bai Wanrou was just about to open her mouth to persuade her, when she saw Lin Yi's figure appear outside the door.
The corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she stretched out her hand to signal Lin Yi to come in.
When Bai Qingting and Song Yinhua saw Lin Yi come in, they all knew that he and Bai Wanrou must have something to discuss.
Therefore, both of them retreated with great interest.
Bai Wanrou looked at Lin Yi and asked, "What's the matter?"
Hearing this, Lin Yi saluted her respectfully: "It's better for your subordinates to hand over the power of the secret guards in the palace to the princess."
