Chapter 46: The Assassins
The emperor looked at Chunjiao.
"Give me a brother like this."
Chunjiao avoided the emperor's good eyes, she couldn't be pregnant with the emperor's heir. A woman can't have two men at the same time, and suddenly remembered that Prince Alcohol's eyes were a little red.
"What's the matter, I didn't say anything?"
Chunjiao hurriedly covered up.
"I miss my dad."
The emperor smiled. "Let Master Su come to see you after tomorrow morning."
Chunjiao was thinking about Prince Alcohol, and said that she missed her father. She wanted to inquire about Prince Alcohol's whereabouts through Master Su.
"Thank the emperor for his care."
The emperor suddenly changed his mind.
"Since you're homesick, why don't you go home. I gave you a token and allowed you to go out of the palace and go home. ”
"Your Majesty."
"Tomorrow, the concubine will go home and take a look, and then she can go back to the palace."
Seeing that it was getting late, the emperor was not sleepy, and Chunjiao was already sleepy at the moment. Seeing that the emperor had no intention of resting, he had no choice but to continue to accompany him.
"The girl accompanied me to the balcony to admire the moon."
Chunjiao is already sleepy, and she can fall asleep while standing. I don't know that the emperor has such a great spirit? I don't know when I'll be able to rest.
The two went to the balcony, and the Forbidden City was terrifyingly quiet at night. This is the first time the emperor has gone to the balcony at night, although Zhao Zhong followed behind him, he was very afraid of the dark, which was the root of the disease that fell when he was a child. There is nothing to fear for Chunjiao, as she often acts at night. Since I met Prince Alcohol and learned kung fu, my courage has also become bigger.
The emperor walked and tiptoed, and Chunjiao saw that the emperor was a little afraid of the dark. But in the dignity of the emperor, Chunjiao pretended not to see it. A man is afraid of the dark for some reason? Although the emperor has the demeanor of a king but is indecisive, he is far worse than the younger brother of a fellow mother, and Prince Alcohol feels majestic. Chunjiao likes a man like Prince Alcohol, and her longing makes Chunjiao's heart ache.
"What do you think?"
Chunjiao will come back to her senses at this moment.
"Your Majesty, let's go back! The night is dark and windy, and the concubines are afraid of hurting the dragon's body. ”
"Breathe with me."
The emperor hugged Chunjiao, and Chunjiao didn't want to get too close to the emperor. Deliberately bent over.
"What's wrong?"
"Stomach aches."
Chunjiao straightened her waist and suddenly saw that under the palace wall, a black shadow flashed up the palace wall, and a thought flashed in her mind, could it be Prince Alcohol? Prince Alcohol has only been out for two days, and it is impossible to come back. At this moment, Zhao Zhong also saw the black shadow, and stepped in front of the emperor with an arrow step.
"Your Majesty, there is an assassin who will return to the palace quickly."
Several guards immediately surrounded the emperor and Chunjiao. Escorted the emperor up and down the stairs. Before the moon could take a quick look, the Assassin was spotted. Chunjiao felt that it was dangerous to return to the Qianqing Palace at this time.
"Lord Zhao, it is very dangerous for the emperor to return to the Qianqing Palace now. Maybe the assassins were aiming for the emperor. ”
Zhao Zhong felt that Chunjiao's words were reasonable, and the emperor was much safer here than in the Qianqing Palace.
"The emperor stays. Go and see. ”
The emperor hugged Chunjiao.
"Don't be afraid, girl, I will protect you."
The two were tightly protected by several guards, and Zhao Zhong lit a torch and saw the black shadow running in the direction of Qianqing Palace. In the blink of an eye, the black shadow disappeared. Zhao Zhong didn't dare to go far, he wanted to protect the emperor's safety.
"Catch the assassins."
Zhao Zhong's loud shout pierced the Forbidden City, alarming the Imperial Forest Army, who hurriedly dispatched. The torches illuminate the Forbidden City. The emperor's bodyguards are the emperor's personal guards. The Imperial Guards are to protect the Forbidden City. In less than half a burnt of incense, the Forbidden City was besieged. The Imperial Forest Army is a subordinate of Prince Alcohol.
Zhao Zhongren searched the Qianqing Palace and the Yangxin Palace several times before he was relieved. The emperor and Chunjiao returned to the Qianqing Palace. Zhao Zhong stood beside the emperor.
"Did the assassin catch it?"
"The emperor hasn't caught it yet?"
The emperor carefully inspected the Qianqing Palace and found that many places had been moved. The assassin is probably for the treasure map, because he came to the Qianqing Palace, not the Heart Cultivation Palace, only Uncle Guo knows, two-thirds of the treasure map is in his own hands, could it be Uncle Guo's people?
