Chapter 495: Murder Failed

The next day when it was dark, just as Shen Ling was in the room, he heard a loud footsteps outside.

"Who?" She got up from her bed vigilantly, and seeing that there was no sound outside, she put on her clothes again, and walked without a trace towards where the door was.

Since she returned to the palace again, she was not used to being taken care of by so many people, and she did not ask for someone to keep vigil when she rested at night.

She thought she had subdued these people, didn't she?

Shen Linghu got up suspiciously, and heard movement outside, which was different from just now, it was a rustling sound made by the collision of armor, as if a person with a sword appeared.

Shen Lingdeng's thought was not good, and he was about to raise his qi to summon the spell.

But before she could summon it, the door was pushed open, and several knives stabbed in front of Shen Ling.

She recognized the special dress of this group of people, it was the royal guard, she was transferred to another place during the national ceremony, and now it appeared with her.

"What are you going to do?" She was held to the neck with a knife, and her eyes were exceptionally clear, no longer as sleepy as Fang Cai.

"You are a traitor, you have killed the emperor, you are guilty of great sin, and you will definitely die!" They looked at Shen Ling with cold eyes.

They had come to plot the assassination.

Shen Ling was thinking about whether to say something to delay time, when she felt that they were not relenting in an instant, and directly inserted the sword into her skin, fortunately, they didn't have a quick hand to take off her neck's head, it was not deep, but she felt the pain and blood flowing out.

She broke out in a cold sweat, she didn't expect the other party to protect the lord to this extent, it seems that she also underestimated the first emperor, and actually cultivated so many powerful heartfelt guards.

Then I saw a burst of blue light, which bounced off all of them in a real way, and Shen Ling fell into a familiar embrace.

"I'm late." He looked at the injured Shen Ling, and there was uncontrollable distress in his eyes.

Without waiting for Shen Ling to answer, he killed the open-faced assassins in three or two clicks, with his current combat strength, these people were completely inadequate.

Jing Ci waved her big hand, and her wound was instantly healed.

"I was careless, I missed this link for so long." Shen Ling was a little annoyed, but they knew very well that the grass should be eradicated, and what Fang Jingci had killed was only a part of this group of people.

"The dark tide is surging, and the fish that have slipped through the net will not give up, I will not continue to cultivate for the first time, and I will accompany you here to avoid any more chaos." Jing Xi sighed slightly, and couldn't bear to let her face all this alone.

It would not be good if something went wrong again.

Shen Ling tossed and turned and never slept this night in order to think about the problem, and it was indeed a little troublesome to solve these tricky emperor's diehard guards in front of him, after all, they came and went without a trace, if they only relied on Jing Xi, this would inevitably be a bad thing.

She closed her eyes and had a flash of inspiration for what she could do.

The next day, she was dressed in a scarlet robe, looking dignified and atmospheric, her head full of pearls and hairpins was extraordinarily beautiful, and her current aura was a little more solemn than when she was a concubine before.

"Yesterday, the palace inadvertently discovered some remnants around the former emperor, and they actually wanted to come to destroy the current imperial court, these people in front of us are our biggest resistance, and they should be solved, what do you think?"

She can talk about it directly to everyone without any scruples.

She was thinking of using the power of the family to annihilate the remnants of the royal family.

"That must be to cooperate with Concubine Hua to solve them, since they are the people of the first emperor, there is no need to keep these people in front of them."

The courtiers looked at Shen Lingdao, and sure enough, they obeyed her heart and gave her the answer she wanted.

"Then do as you say, eradicate these henchmen as soon as possible, and I can rest assured that I will hand over the jade seal to you in the future, and this matter should not be underestimated, so we should pay attention to it quickly."

With a gentle smile on her face, she seems to be a person who can handle everything properly, and everything she has experienced these days is really dreamlike

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

After staying in the court, the eunuch next to her replied to her, "Niangniang, the big thing is not good, the elders have finished their retreat, and they find that the way of the world has changed, and they will not recognize it to death, so they will have to go back to the palace to settle accounts with you, and now they have reached the Xuande Gate."

The news came as a surprise to her.

"Who is the Elder?" She raised her eyes and asked, she had been in the palace for so long, but she never thought that there were still elders, and no one had ever mentioned it to her.

After Shen Ling returned to the palace, he controlled everything, but he never thought that he had missed a link.

"It's the emperor's uncle, but I've always been at odds with him, so I guess there's a reason why you're not the same." The other replied again, and this time it was her turn to fall silent.

Presumably, this "elder" has been in retreat since she entered the palace, so it should be normal for her not to know.

"I'll go to the meeting." She picked up her sword and went out with Jing Ci.

They had already arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall, saying that they were going to wait for Shen Ling there, and if they didn't come, they would burn the palace gate.

When he came out of retreat, he didn't know that the emperor was dead.

In addition to Shen Ling, there were several courtiers of the family waiting for them there, including the princes and princesses they sent in.

"You're Shen Ling? come out and die." The elders looked Shen Ling up and down, thinking of the rumored her, and they didn't know what to say, it was not quite the same as they imagined.

"Elder, calm down, we have something to say, in fact, our mother is okay, no one thought that the first emperor would go to the west like this at this time."

The family knew Shen Ling's plan, so they could only defend her now.

"Don't say so much, you come out to die!"

He conjured up a magic weapon, and immediately wanted to kill Shen Ling and Jing Xi, and reaching out was a move.

Shen Ling bowed her head slightly, she had already prepared on the way here, and took out the magic weapon without hesitation, and also brought the outstanding children sent by the family to gather together as her own human shield.

Seeing this, the family gritted their teeth and opened their eyes, not knowing what to do now, so they could only protect Shen Ling.

"Why don't you get out of the way!" The elder flicked the two of them away and looked at Shen Ling, who was standing in the center.

Seeing this, they helplessly picked up the magic weapon at hand and confronted the elder, and the two sides used the immortal method to fight each other, very hard.

However, the elder has been in retreat and cultivation for a long time, and now he has reached the peak of the second level, and it is not a problem to directly defeat the disabled family, but because of the large number of people on the other side, he has also been slightly attacked.

Shen Ling took advantage of him to breathe in the middle, and instantly shot out to release the poison.
