Chapter 171: Blue Sky and White Sun
What the strategist said made the third prince look at him, and he seemed to be moved, but then vetoed it.
"No!" Zhou Yu waved his hand, his face full of disapproval, "At the moment, there is an emperor and grandson in his house, if something happens, isn't it obvious that I did it?"
He is not a gentleman, whether it is a woman or a child, he can do it if necessary.
"Of course I know that this matter may implicate our house, but I have a way to get us out, but ......" the advisor stopped as he spoke.
"But what?" The third prince looked at him.
"It's just that Your Highness needs to make a choice, and the children in your mansion are afraid that they will also have to ...... loss."
Although many children have been born in Zhou Yu's mansion over the years, in fact, he has lost children every year.
After all, children are delicate, and it may be just a simple wind chill, which is enough to kill.
At first, he may have been sad, but since all the daughters were born in the house, he didn't care.
But the child died because of illness, which was different from his deliberate scheme, Zhou Yu suddenly frowned.
"Do you know what you're talking about?" He narrowed his eyes and glared at the advisor with displeasure.
"Your Highness, please calm your anger, your subordinates are just providing a feasible solution, as for whether you want to do it, it depends on Your Highness."
"This matter is indeed inappropriate, my subordinates will not say it again, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." The strategist saluted Zhou Yu.
There was silence in the room, and Zhou Yu stared at the strategist for a long time before retracting his gaze.
A flat voice came out of his mouth, "You...... Tell me more about your approach."
"Yes." The counsellor saluted again and gave the way and the plan.
Some of the girls in Zhou Yu's mansion are already at the age of joy, some are still babbling, and some are younger.
Some of the concubines in his house are now pregnant, and some are about to give birth. c
Some of the children he lost were infected with wind and cold, some were pox, and some were born with deficiencies.
The counsellor told him to choose one or two of the surviving children, and when they had contracted a terrible disease, they were removed from the house and reported to the palace.
In this case, put the things that the sick children used to put in the palace of the eldest prince, and then make sure that the emperor and grandson will definitely come into contact with them.
In this way, the emperor and grandson will definitely be infected with diseases, and whether he can survive or not depends on his creation.
If he survived, he could only find another way, but if he didn't survive, because of the affairs in Zhou Yu's mansion, he would not be suspicious.
After all, tiger poison does not eat children.
After listening to the strategist, Zhou Yu fell silent again.
The strategist didn't speak again, and he knew in his heart that even if there were many children, this choice would not be easy to make.
But he knew that since he would be asked, it would happen sooner or later.
——
The ordinary carriage drove out of the palace, and the guards in charge of guarding the palace gate saw it and immediately stood up straight.
The carriage drove towards the street, and Yun Lan sat in it, reaching out to lift a corner of the curtain.
A cold wind blew, chilling to the bone, and he lowered the curtains, tugged his hands into his sleeves, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Turning the corner, the carriage entered the path, which was specially ordered by Yunlan.
Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently, Yunlan opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold the wall of the carriage, and frowned.
A cold arrow pierced through the curtain and into the carriage, grazing his cheek and nailing to the wall behind him.
The stinging pain from his cheek made Yun Lan know that it must be broken, he raised his hand to wipe it, the blood was red, fortunately it was non-toxic.
As the head of the internal guard, even if there is only one carriage and one coachman when traveling, it does not mean that the assassination can be carried out smoothly.
Yun Lan sat in the carriage, listening to the sounds outside, and knew that it was the internal guard hiding in the shadows who appeared and was fighting with the assassin.
He lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage to look ahead
Go.
The assassin was dressed in black and masked, and there were about three or four of them, and his kung fu was good, on par with the internal guards.
A cold arrow burst through the air, and before Yunlan could react, it hit him in the shoulder.
"Chief!" Seeing that he was injured, some internal guards gave up the fight and came towards him, and several men in black saw the opportunity and got out together.
"It's okay, there's no poison on the arrow." Holding his shoulders, Yun Lan looked at the bleeding wound, "Let's go to the Yamen of the Internal Security Division first."
The internal health department yamen has its own doctors, and the medicines used are also good, and usually if the internal health office is injured, they will come back for treatment.
As Yunlan said, the arrow is not poisonous, but there are barbs on it, and pulling the arrow makes him suffer some crimes.
Fortunately, he was wounded in the shoulder, and if a cold arrow hit his chest, he was afraid that he would definitely die.
Judging from the arrows that were pulled, there was nothing unusual about them, except for the barbs, which were just ordinary arrows.
In this way, if you want to trace the source of this cold arrow, it is impossible to find it.
"Ask the chief to forgive me, it's a dereliction of duty!" Recently, several internal guards were ordered by Yunlan to wait outside the palace.
If you see Yunlan's carriage, you will hide it in the dark to protect it, but I didn't expect the assassin to get it.
"I don't blame you, if I hadn't come out of the carriage, I wouldn't have been hurt." With a wave of his hand, Yunlan spoke softly.
"But chief, you are injured, how should you explain to your majesty?" As the leader of the internal guard, he was injured by the assassin under the blue sky and white sun, which was not only a loss of face for the internal guard.
Yunlan has been in charge of the internal guards for a while, and the internal guards are very convinced of him, so they are worried.
"I will ask Your Majesty for the guilt, and if Your Majesty condemns the crime, I will also bear it."
"That's not what you mean by being lowly, you...... You are injured, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will ...... Another leader will be chosen," the guards don't want to change the leader.
"If Your Majesty really decides so, you will follow the new leader in the future, and I, as the inner prisoner, will serve Your Majesty wherever I am." Yunlan didn't seem to care about this.
"It's approaching the end of the year, let's get busy, and fortunately, we can rest for a few days during the New Year." He admonished softly.
Although the guards wanted to say something more, he opened his mouth, so he had to salute him and go about his work.
Yunlan tidied up his clothes and walked slowly towards the outside of the Yamen of the Internal Security Division, he was injured and had to go back to the palace to plead guilty.
Presumably, at this time, the news has been delivered to His Majesty.
As Yunlan thought, Emperor Mingde, who was in the palace, did receive the news that he had been assassinated, which made His Majesty very displeased.
The internal guards belonged to His Majesty and obeyed the orders of Emperor Mingde, but their leader was assassinated, which was also a slap in the face.
"Your Majesty, in the end, Yunlan is an internal prisoner, he doesn't have much kung fu on his body, and injuries are inevitable, who would have thought that someone in broad daylight would dare to assassinate at the feet of the Son of Heaven?"
Peng Hai stood aside, peeking at Emperor Mingde's expression, and cautiously helped Yunlan speak.
Emperor Mingde leaned back on the soft couch, glanced at him, and asked him what he thought, "Do you think that if I change someone to be the head of the internal guard, who can come?"
