Chapter 264: Backstabbing

Hearing this, the two people in the attic changed their faces together.

Shen Ruoxi is still down there!

Murong Heng commanded sharply.

"You go and protect the crown princess first!"

"Yes!"

The cold night was the first to fly away.

Murong Heng and Shen Yue also immediately followed.

In the private room, Tao Ye had just combed Shen Ruoxi's hair in a bun, and seeing that there was no mistake, several people were about to go out, when they suddenly heard a scream outside.

Shen Ruoxi was taken aback.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Yuzi opened the door with a panicked expression.

"Crown Princess, I don't know where a group of assassins came from, let's evacuate quickly!"

Wei Tingshan patted his thigh.

"Alas, my ancestor, how could I meet an assassin, His Highness hasn't come here yet, what can I do!"

Shen Ruoxi was also nervous.

There is a high probability that the assassin is coming for Murong Heng, there is only a cold night by his side, I am afraid that there will be danger.

Leng Shuang pulled out the soft sword beside her, seeing her concern.

"Don't worry, Crown Princess, Leng Ye is very good at it, and she will definitely be able to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the private room.

It's a cold night.

Shen Ruoxi twisted her eyebrows.

"Where's Ah Heng?"

"Your Highness is with the young general, Crown Princess, you retreat with us first!"

With that, he walked in.

Just a few steps away, the screen of the private room was suddenly cut down, and a gust of wind struck, and all the candles were blown out.

The entire level was plunged into darkness.

Shen Ruoxi was taken aback.

Standing beside a few people, she just wanted to speak, but suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

She felt a sense of murderous intent.

Almost instantly, Shen Ruoxi's neck hurt and was hit hard.

Her body went limp, and she was instantly confused.

At the same time, something was thrown into his mouth, like medicine.

Before she could react, the pill slid down her throat.

Then, it went dark.

Before fainting, there was a jagged exclamation in my ears.

*

Boundless darkness struck, with a suffocating sense of indulgence.

Shen Ruoxi was dazed, as if she heard someone talking.

She tugged at her eyelids and slowly opened them.

In the line of sight, the candle flame was faintly beating, and then the eyes became clearer and clearer.

"It's a pity."

A low, gentle call rang in my ears.

Shen Ruoxi's indulged thoughts were finally pulled back, and her vision became clear.

The palm of his hand was warm, and he was held.

She turned her head slightly, and met a pair of long, narrow worried eyes.

Murong Heng held her fingers, and with the other hand stroked her face, gently caressing her soft white skin.

"How does it feel?"

"It's okay...... Where is this? ”

"The previous Lingwang Mansion, this place is relatively close to Wangxian Tower, so I took you here, don't worry, it's safe here."

Murong Heng's words were reassuring.

Shen Ruoxi nodded slightly, feeling no discomfort, and wanted to sit up.

With a little exertion, I felt a pain in my neck.

The coldness that had been knocked out before crept up on her back, and she subconsciously reached out and touched her throat.

She remembered that she had been fed something.

Poison?

Murong Heng personally helped her up, and then put a pillow behind her.

There were several people groveling on the side, all doctors.

She wrinkled her eyebrows.

"Am I poisoned?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Murong Heng said, "You're fine." ”

The doctor next to him also nodded immediately: "The crown princess is a natural person, she has not been harmed, but her neck has been attacked by gravity, and there are some bruises, take some medicine to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis for a few days, and it will be fine." ”

That's it?

Shen Ruoxi was a little surprised.

So what did she eat?

Murong Heng saw her concern, and he rubbed his fingers against her fingertips

"Don't be afraid, I'll ask the doctor to come and have a look."

"Crown Princess, it's really good that you're okay!"

Momoba stood aside wiping her tears, and finally smiled with relief.

Xiao Yuzi handed her a handkerchief.

"The crown princess is a blessed person, I said it will be fine."

Cold Frost's tangled brows gradually loosened.

Wei Tingshan also stroked his chest.

"I'm scared of the old slave, if something really happens to you, how can the minions explain to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

In the face of their concern, Shen Ruoxi didn't feel warm.

On the contrary, I felt cold all over my body.

was in Wangxian Tower before, and it was these people who surrounded her.

So it was one of them who shot at her.

Peach leaves, cold cream, Xiao Yuzi, Wei Tingshan.

Including the cold night that appears later.

Everyone is suspicious, but everyone looks so innocent.

Shen Ruoxi's fingers tightened slightly, and she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows.

"I'm a little tired."

Murong Heng understood in an instant, he stretched out his hand and signaled, and everyone in the room retreated.

As soon as the others left, Murong Heng's expression instantly turned cold.

"What's going on?"

"Before, Wangxian Tower was dark, and around me, there were only peach leaves and cold frost, I could feel it...... The man who attacked me was very close. ”

Shen Ruoxi's voice was slow.

But these words set off a storm in Murong Heng's heart.

He laughed angrily.

"Sure enough, it's the people around me."

Several of them were selected by themselves with great effort to cultivate and trust, except for Peach Leaf.

She is the maid that Shen Ruoxi has taken with her since she was a child, and her suspicion is relatively small, but it cannot be completely ruled out.

"Other than that......"

Shen Ruoxi paused, and then continued: "Before I fainted, I was fed something. ”

Murong Heng's expression instantly became nervous.

Shen Ruoxi held his fingers instead.

"But I didn't notice anything unusual, and the doctor saw it, and there was no sign of poisoning."

"Some of the imperial doctors in the palace are very knowledgeable about poison, so they will enter the palace immediately."

Murong Heng didn't believe that what kind of good thing she fed in.

"No hurry, I didn't notice anything unusual."

Shen Ruoxi asked.

"Wangxian Tower, have you dealt with it?"

"The matter is quite big, it is full of princes and nobles, and the guards are also very strict, but it has suffered such a big assassination, this matter has alarmed my father, the forbidden army and the military department and Dali Temple have passed, and there should be results soon."

Murong Heng's noble eyebrows and eyes were covered with a layer of coldness.

Shen Ruoxi asked.

"Assassin, are you coming for you?"

"It's not."

The assassination had clearly been organized for a long time, and when the group of assassins entered, they attacked almost indiscriminately, killing two officials and several women, and many were wounded.

But at the moment he doesn't want to care.

"I'll have people prepare carriages and enter the palace."

The palace is heavily guarded, and it is safer than outside the palace.

Now that the assassin has not figured out what is going on, he is not at ease when he leaves her in the Lingwang Mansion.

After everything was ready, Murong Heng walked out of the house with Shen Ruoxi in his arms and got into the carriage.

Behind him, Cold Frost and Peach Leaf were about to follow, but they were stopped by a look from him.

"You walk with the carriage below."

The two immediately retreated.

After entering the palace, Murong Heng called all the doctors from the Tai Hospital, and after examining Shen Ruoxi, he found a clue.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess's body has indeed shown signs of poisoning......"
