Cui Xiaoben entered the main hall fully armed, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty." The assassin had blatantly circled around the palace before, and now he was heading for the Chengming Palace. The minister is confident that he will not come and go, and will not disturb His Majesty. ”

Yu Wei nodded: "With Cui Qing here, I am very at ease." I don't know who that assassin is, how dare he be so arrogant and rebellious? ”

Cui Xiaoben hung his head: "After the minister captures the person, he will definitely find out clearly." ”

"Okay, there you go." Before Yu Wei's words were finished, there was already a shouting sound in front of the hall.

"The thief is coming!"

"Escort, escort!"

"Your Majesty will live in the palace for the time being, and the minister will go out to get the thief!" Cui Xiaoben said, he had rushed out of the hall under his feet, but he didn't see the thief, and when he was about to draw his sword, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the left and right: "General be careful!" ”

The next moment, a person with blurred flesh and blood fell from above, Cui Xiaoben subconsciously avoided the side, and the person lay straight on the bluestone brick engraved with the golden dragon pattern in front of the Chengming Palace.

The man who threw him was obviously clever, and although he fell from a great height, he did not make any noise when he fell to the ground, and the person did not seem to be hurt more by it.

The surrounding Jin Wuwei immediately surrounded him, and swords, axes, and axes were all added to the man's neck, but he saw that he was covered in scaly wounds, his limbs were broken, and he had less air in and more air out.

Cui Xiaoben only glanced at it, and his pupils contracted sharply: "Xianghou, Yu Chu?" ”

It was only a moment before he came back to his senses, and when he turned back to look at the roof, where was there any figure? ”

"Search!" He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Even if you turn the entire Weiyang Palace over, you must find out the assassin!" ”

The order was conveyed well, and it didn't need to be done by Choi Hyo-ben himself. He turned around and squatted in front of Mo Gongzi to examine it carefully for a while before getting up and entering the hall to resume his life.

"What?" Yu Wei's first reaction was disbelief: "This is absolutely impossible!" I have already explained that I cannot use heavy punishment, and I have the Imperial Historical Observatory to supervise this matter."

"Your Majesty." Cui Xiaoben didn't wait for him to finish, and said in a deep voice: "Yu Chu is outside." If someone hadn't given him medicine and stuffed ginseng tablets in his mouth to hang himself, I'm afraid he might not have survived until now. ”

Yu Wei flicked his sleeves and got up, and walked out of the palace gate surrounded by Jiao Zuo and others, and came to Yu Chu.

Although he was not very old, he had seen dead people before, but it was the first time he had seen people tortured like this.

The lash wounds exposed to the flesh alone were horrific enough. Yu Wei's gaze fell on the limbs that were fixed by the splint, and he asked a little distractedly: "Cui Qing, this is"

"The limbs of the Marquis have been broken alive with a hammer or an iron rod. It's just a fluke to survive, I'm afraid."

"Afraid of what?" Yu Wei was stunned.

"I'm afraid that I will be disabled for life, I can't hold a pen, I can't eat, and I can't walk."

Jiao Zuo stood aside, only to feel that blood was pouring into his skull, surging back and forth like a tidal wave, hitting the sky with huge waves. The hands in the sleeves were clenched tightly, and the nails dug deep into the palms, but the pain was still not felt.

A voice seemed to float from afar, and it was impossible to hear whose it was: "Your Majesty, what do you think is going to do with Xianghou?" Should they be left to fend for themselves, or should they be treated by a doctor? ”

"Passing on the doctor!" Yu Wei thought of the gold that had been put into the inner treasury, and a sense of guilt arose: "Jiao Lingjian, you personally lead people to place Yu Chu in the palace, so that he can treat his injuries." All the best supplies should be used, and they should be paid directly from my inner treasury, understand? ”

"The old slave understands, the old slave will do it." Jiao Zuo only felt that the sound of the waves that had buzzed in his ears before had dissipated, and the whole person had regained his clarity.

Childe is still alive, and there is hope when he is alive.

He ordered the eunuch to get a stretcher and carried the person to the Yutang House in the harem. Yu Wei is still young, the harem is empty, and the concubine Si left by the first emperor has also moved to Changle Palace, even if Mo Gongzi lives in it temporarily, it will not cause doubt.

Xue Wen came very quickly, and when he saw the appearance of Mo Gongzi, his face turned blue, and after a comprehensive examination, his heart was even more depressed. It's just that in front of many eunuchs, it's not easy to vent out.

"Fortunately, someone was given the wound medicine first, and the bone was also connected. The technique of this bone grafting is extremely exquisite, and even I sigh to myself. He knew who it was in his heart, but he couldn't say it at all, so he only sighed and said, "Three days." If he can survive it, Xianghou's life can be regarded as truly saved. ”

"That's it. Trouble Doctor Xue. Jiao Zuo suppressed the anger and retreated, all the way back to Chengming Hall against the wind.

The hall was still brightly lit at this time, and the eunuch guarding the door quietly reported to him: "The three auxiliary political lords, plus Zhang Tingwei, are here. In addition, the eldest princess of Pingyang also heard about the escape of the Marquis of Xiang, and she was kneeling outside the palace gate and crying, asking Her Majesty to uphold justice."

The corners of Jiao Zuo's lips pursed tightly, and he stepped into the main hall.

Yu Wei stood tall in front of the imperial case, and the subordinate Shangguan Jinzheng said with foaming at the mouth: "Your Majesty, Yu Chu absconded in fear of crime, and there is no suspense in this case." The minister asked the whole city to be arrested, and at the same time issued a wanted warrant, and offered a large reward, regardless of life or death, so that the national law could be strictly enforced and the discipline rectified. ”

Yu Wei looked at Jin Xin expressionlessly: "Jin Qing, General Zuo accused you of conniving with people, but is it true?" ”

"Your Majesty." Jin Xin's armor was not removed, and he knelt on one knee: "Xianghou was extremely seriously injured, but he was coerced out by the assassin, not the original intention." The minister was afraid that he had accidentally injured the life of the Marquis of Xiang, so he was strictly ordered not to release arrows. If Your Majesty thinks that the minister is guilty, the minister will be at your Majesty's disposal. ”

"Extremely badly wounded?" Huo Xuan frowned: "If the old man remembers correctly, His Majesty has strictly ordered that he should not be severely punished during the day. Zhang Tingwei, what do you have to say? ”

"The minister will never dare to go against the holy will." Zhang Shichang also knelt down: "During yesterday's interrogation, Yu Shi Zhongcheng was also imprisoned at the scene, but after a few whips, Xianghou had already fainted twice. The minister didn't dare to ask again, thinking that he would be tried again in the coming day, so the punishment that Lord Jin said was extremely serious, and he was afraid that it was because Xianghou's physique was weaker than ordinary people.

"Huh." When Shangguan Jin heard this, he simply raised his head and laughed: "Lord Jin was also a capable minister who was decisive in killing, but now he is being played by a small child. That Yu Chu was just a deliberate gesture for fear of punishment, and no one knew where to run at this moment. Lord Jin's words, didn't he do it deliberately to exonerate himself? ”

Jin Xin has always been known for his prudence and forbearance, and he is not good at verbal battles.

"What the minister said is true." He bowed his head and said: "When the minister saw the Marquis of Xiang, he was already seriously injured and was close to death, so he was kidnapped and left. At that time, the person who saw the Marquis of Xiang was not only a minister, but Chen Fang, the capital of the Southern Army, was waiting outside the palace now, and His Majesty could summon him to the palace for questioning. ”
