Chapter 239: There are assassins

The stars in the sky are blinking, and the clear moonlight reflects the dazzling blue glass of the palace, like a golden ocean, which is magnificent. The emperor dealt with the government affairs for a day, he was busy all day, and there was a very high stack of medals waiting for him to go to the instructions, he didn't want to go to the queen to eat, but I heard that Mo Cong entered the palace during the day, and instead of going to him to worship, he went directly to the queen.

The eunuchs and maids in the queen's palace stood in groups, all with solemn faces, and they didn't dare to breathe. The feast had already been prepared, and it was only necessary for the emperor to come and serve the meal.

"I heard that Mo Cong came to the palace today?" As soon as the emperor entered the door, he ignored those palace maids and eunuchs, and didn't seem to pay attention to the queen's intoxicating smiling face, and he didn't take off his dragon robe or crown, and asked straight to the point.

The queen pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that it was impossible for her to come to the palace as Mo Cong's concubine without falling into the ears of the emperor, so she replied without hesitation: "Yes, the princess asked him to send me some gifts." ”

"What a princess, there are so many princesses around him. The Emperor frowned, his face full of displeasure.

The queen also raised a pair of raised eyebrows, and said unhappily: "Which princess is there, our princess." ”

Although he didn't have much affection for the emperor, after all, he had been a husband and wife for more than 20 years, so he stepped forward to help the emperor untie his court clothes. The two palace maids held a set of washed and ironed, dazzling civilian clothes in their hands, just waiting to be changed into for the emperor. Unexpectedly, as soon as the queen unfastened a button, the emperor took a step back, raised his hand, and said with a tense face: "Slow! ”

The queen's hands froze there, her face turned red, and in front of a room full of eunuchs and palace maids, it was the first time that the queen was so ridiculed by the emperor. "It's the other way around," he cursed in his heart, turned around slowly, sat down in the chair and turned his head silently.

Looking at the queen's face with a layer of frost, the emperor regretted it, thinking back to the past 20 years, most of the time was looking at this cold face, even if there are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, you can't smile at it, and you feel bored in the face of those flattering and flattering faces all day long, and you can't help but feel a pang in your heart, and said with a smile: "I just played a joke with you, look at your face." Besides, the dignified master didn't bring me any gifts?"

"Why didn't I bring it to you, you didn't ask, you just had a straight face when you entered the door, who would dare to tell you. The queen ordered someone to fetch two boxes containing "Yaochi Immortal Dew", and said with a smile: "Look, this is a priceless treasure, Mo Cong said, one for each of us." ”

The two palace maids opened the box, and the delicate and white pills in it exuded an intoxicating fragrance, the emperor frowned, looked down at the one on the left, and then at the right, smiled coldly in his heart, and sniffled, but it didn't seem to be inhaling the fragrance of the pill, and the words still had a taste of irony: "I don't want such a precious gift, the queen will enjoy it for me." ”

The queen also knew that this little trick could not be concealed from the world, it was nothing more than a scene and a formality, "Then thank you for the grace of my emperor." After speaking, the busy person put the thing away, stood in front of the emperor with his back hand and pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were particularly strange.

The queen's face was pure, her smile was like a flower, and at this time, she looked delicate, like a girl who sympathized with Dou Chukai, which caused the emperor's heart to flicker, and he felt that he was suddenly twenty years younger. couldn't help pinching the queen's face, the queen flashed in shame, the emperor was suddenly in the sunny flowers, chasing his beloved girl, suddenly his heart was full of joy, and he asked with a smile: "Say, what is the matter with your good son-in-law?"

The queen's eyes were full of resentment, and there was obvious vinegar in her words, "You are old and young." ”

The emperor squinted and looked, the queen's face was absolutely contrived, and she could make the queen jealous, which was the emperor's dream, and it was more accomplished to be able to win the queen's heart than to lay down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, "It seems that this daughter's credit is really not small, heh!" The emperor was secretly happy in his heart, but the queen ate this vinegar for no reason, and asked innocently: "What do you mean by this?"

"You know what you mean. The queen turned her head and said leisurely.

"Hey?" the emperor was even more surprised, sat down beside the queen and said, "There must be a reason for this murder!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, the empress blinked a pair of seductive slender and beautiful eyes, looked at the emperor's face, slightly spread her red lips, and sneered: "You caught Princess Kakashi, isn't that old and young?"

"Princess Kakashi?" the Emperor frowned, pondering for a while, and finally had a little impression in his mind, and asked, "Are you talking about the youngest daughter of the Sea King?"

"Look!" The queen seemed to have exposed the emperor's secret, looked at the palace maids and eunuchs around her, and said with a smile: "I'm right!"

The emperor looked embarrassed, thought about it, suddenly turned serious, nodded and smiled: "I understand, Queen Mother, I didn't expect that you would also go around the bend with me, I think your good son-in-law came here for this!"

"Exactly. The Empress did not shy away from it, but through the emperor's face, she could already see that Kakashi's affairs had nothing to do with the emperor.

Although the emperor is moody and the city is very deep, he does not hide it in front of the queen, and he also knows that this queen may not have any feelings for him, but no matter what comes to her, he is absolutely tight-lipped.

"Okay, the play is too fake," although his face was grim, the emperor still had a sweet taste in his heart, and said with a smile: "By the way, what Kakashi is, it has nothing to do with me, let Mo Cong go to other places to inquire." ”

"You say I'm acting?" said the queen with a calm face.

"Half-truths. The emperor smiled slightly, looking at his expression, he didn't take Mo Cong's matter to heart at all. But in his heart, he secretly thought: "Kakashi"

The queen looked at the emperor for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered: "Serve!"

After eating at the queen's place, the emperor felt that he was in a particularly good mood, and took the guards all the way back to the imperial study to read the recital. People sew happy events, and do things with half the effort, the original two or three hours to read the folds, less than an hour to complete the review. The emperor stretched and moved his muscles, when he heard someone shouting outside the window:

"There are assassins!"

As soon as the words outside the window fell, three emerald feather arrows were shot from the roof, one to the emperor's head, one to his body, and the other to his lower abdomen, and the arrows galloped with a green glow. A black-clothed guard outside the door was not in a hurry, because the three arrows were full of snails in his eyes, and the black-robed man turned around and somersaulted in the air, his movements were as fast as lightning, and before the three arrows reached the window of the imperial study, they were already caught by him.

The gong sounded, and the shouts of the assassins in the palace came and went one after another in the night, and for a time the whole palace was lit up with pine and bamboo torches, and a large number of guards searched in the palace in a panic. A few black-robed men had already jumped on the beams of the house to catch up.

The royal guards armed with golden gourd axes surrounded the imperial study, and two guards in gold armor rushed into the house to block the emperor. A guard leader with a knife knelt on one knee, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, kowtowed: "Your Majesty, your subordinates are not good at escorting, and you deserve death." ”

The Great Emperor sat firmly on the large gold-inlaid sandalwood chair, and said disapprovingly: "I am safe and sound, what are your crimes? ”

"Yes!"

A large number of guards rushed to the queen's bedchamber. The queen's palace was full of guards, holding torches one by one, looking nervous, and when she saw the emperor coming, she knelt down in a large area.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

"Let's all be flat!"

The empress heard the emperor's voice in the house, hurriedly walked out of the door, and asked with a shocked face: "What's wrong, it doesn't matter to you!"

"It's okay, someone wants to assassinate me," the emperor looked at the empress with a soft gaze and smiled, "It's okay if you're okay." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the concubine is fine," the queen frowned, thought for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "Who is so bold and dares to come to the palace to assassinate?

"Someone has already chased after me, and I can't run away," the emperor took a deep breath, cared for the queen and walked into the room, and sneered: "It's funny, I've never encountered this kind of thing, and I don't know who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to assassinate me, Niangniang, who do you say would be so bold?"

When the queen heard this, she felt that there seemed to be a different flavor in her words, and her heart was also suspended, although her face was silent, but cold sweat overflowed in her palms, and at such a critical juncture, she didn't dare to speak rashly, for fear of saying the wrong thing carelessly, she muttered for a moment and said calmly: "The concubine doesn't know." After speaking, he secretly scolded Mo Cong in his heart, "This unlucky child, if you don't come sooner or later, you just come at this time." ”

The emperor peeked at the queen's face, and was about to speak, when suddenly a black-robed guard broke in, knelt on one knee, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers deserve death!"

Hearing this, the emperor was shocked, his face changed suddenly, and he asked, "Ran away?" I didn't expect the assassin to slip away from under the nose of the black-robed man.

"Killed by his subordinates!, but the corpse turned into a puddle of water," the man peeked at the emperor's face and held up the three arrows, "Your Majesty, this is the arrow shot by the assassin." ”

Hearing that the assassin had been killed, and then turned into a puddle of water, a grim smile appeared on the Emperor's face, which was not easily detected.

The two little eunuchs in the queen's room immediately stepped forward, one holding a tray in his hand, and the other took three arrows from the black-robed man's hand, put them in the tray, and respectfully served them to the emperor.

The emperor has experienced a hundred battles and cultivated very deeply, so he saw the origin of the arrow with his eyes, and looked at the queen proudly, whistling leisurely in his mouth, and said with a smile: "The elf arrow is good!"

The thing that the queen was most worried about still happened, as soon as she heard the three words of the elf arrow, the queen's heart seemed to be smashed by someone, her face could no longer be concealed, her face was like snow, and she said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please believe me, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Mo Cong, it is impossible for him to do such a stupid thing." Trust me. ”

Seeing the queen's anxious face and sloppy eyes, the emperor was shocked, the queen has always been calm and calm for so many years, and she is not shocked when encountering problems, but now for the sake of Mo Cong, not only is her face anxious, but even her speech is three points shorter, and she is not very satisfied in her heart, and said angrily: "Niangniang, what are you anxious about?" I didn't say that it must have been Mo Cong's doing, but I only have an opinion. After speaking, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
