Chapter 119: Assassination
Mu Ningyuan said in the letter that there was a guest in the Hunting Mountain Villa last night, and he assassinated the emperor.
In order to save the emperor, the eldest prince Chu Heng stood in front of the emperor and was injured.
The injuries are quite serious.
The emperor is safe and sound.
All the Assassins were killed, and strange totems were found on the Assassins. It should be the logo of some kind of organization, or a symbol of some status.
At present, Dali Temple and the Imperial Forest Army are conducting thorough investigations.
Hearing the news, Shen Yindi's whole person was shocked.
How could such a thing happen?
There are assassins in such a well-guarded hunting lodge.
That assassin is good enough!
In addition, because she was frightened, Concubine Xian's "child" was not saved and had a miscarriage.
For this, the emperor was furious.
This secret letter is two pages long, and the matter is too big. He wanted to make it clear to them.
Now the news of this matter is still blocked for the time being, otherwise it will be transmitted back to the imperial capital, I am afraid that it will cause panic.
Shen Yindi was shocked not long before he calmed down.
She looked at Chu Yan, only to see him frowning slightly, pursing his lips, not knowing what he was thinking?
"Brother Yan, when you went to autumn hunting with them before, did anything like this happen?" Shen Yindi broke the silence.
Chu Yan retracted his thoughts, and he nodded: "Yes." In fact, when the father leaves the palace, the chance of being assassinated is greater. After all, the outside is much more lax than the palace. ”
"No matter how tightly guarded, there will always be loopholes. Especially those Assassins, since they decided to become the king of a country, it was bound to be not improvised. It must have been carefully planned. ”
"At least a 30% success rate! Even if you can't kill directly, you can seriously injure someone, but it's a success! Chu Yan's voice was low, and his expression was a little solemn.
This time, the father is fine, and the eldest prince is injured, which may change the situation.
"I don't know what the totem that Master Mu said looks like? It shouldn't be a Great Chu person. ”
In the middle of the night, Chu Yan's deep voice sounded: "Maybe it's someone from Zhaoyue Kingdom." ”
"Huh?" Shen Yindi exclaimed.
She remembered very well that Zhaoyue Country was his biological mother's country.
If it is a person from Zhaoyue Kingdom, the emperor will inevitably be angry with him.
Especially the "miscarriage" of Concubine Xian this time.
The emperor has been doting on her the most recently, so he will definitely be looking forward to this child.
This trick can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
First, it can solve the crisis of her fake pregnancy being discovered, and it can make the emperor even more angry and hate those assassins.
If it is found that it is indeed from Zhaoyue Kingdom......
Then be prepared to be implicated.
"Have you ever seen that totem?"
"Well, I saw it on the battlefield back then. There are some of the dead soldiers of Zhaoyue Kingdom. Chu Yan told her truthfully.
Shen Yindi's face was not very good this time.
It's despicable!
Even if Chu Yan was far away from that whirlpool, these things could still affect him.
His mother is a native of Zhaoyue Kingdom, and this identity can never be erased.
The charges against him have not yet been cleared.
It all came too suddenly.
"Let's not worry, let's see how things develop next, let's improvise! Don't worry. Whatever happens, I'll face it with you. Shen Yindi held his hand and gently comforted him.
Chu Yan retracted his thoughts, he smiled, and held her hand instead.
"I'm not in a hurry, and I'm not too worried. I know you're there. No matter how bad the result is, it will not be worse than if you can't move before, and your face will be red and spotted. ”
"I have fallen into the quagmire, and there is nothing that this king cannot accept."
Shen Yindi smiled: "It's best if you think so." ”
"yes, no matter how bad it is, it won't be any worse."
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!"
Two people reinvigorate their faith!
On the third day after the emperor's assassination, they returned to the palace ahead of schedule. It also ended this year's autumn hunt ahead of schedule.
Mu Ningyuan came to Chu Yan's side the night he came back.
It's better to say a lot of words and many things to your face.
At this moment, the three of them are in the study together.
Mu Ningyuan told them everything about the emperor's assassination.
He also drew the assassin's totem for Chu Yan to see.
After Chu Yan saw it, his heart couldn't help but sink.
As he had guessed before, this totem was indeed a totem unique to some special people in Zhaoyue Country.
He thought that the emperor would definitely know this fact soon.
"Those few people are obviously premeditated at this moment, lurking in the villa in advance, waiting for the opportunity to move." Mu Ningyuan's expression was solemn.
"Is the emperor not injured at all?" Shen Yindi asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, the emperor is not injured."
But Concubine Xian's miscarriage made him angry. Ouchi's guards, who were in charge of the safety of his dormitory, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army were all punished. ”
"And those who are rebuked by the rod!" Mu Ningyuan said fifteen-ten.
"How is the eldest prince's injury?" Shen Yindi asked again.
"The injuries were not light, but they were not life-threatening, there were injuries to the shoulder, arm, and a knife to the back. I think I'm going to have a hard time this time. ”
Shen Yindi touched his chin, thoughtful.
Chu Yan didn't speak either.
Mu Ningyuan is not easy to say, they have their own hearts.
After a while, Shen Yindi broke the silence: "Look now, this great prince has made a lot of great contributions!" ”
"Back then, he led the army to repel the encirclement and suppression of Zhaoyue Kingdom and rescued Chu Yan. This time, I almost saved the emperor with my life! ”
"Presumably the emperor must be very moved."
The corners of Shen Yindi's mouth hooked up a sneer.
Chu Yan never doubted him.
But nothing could be found related to him.
Mu Ningyuan also snorted coldly: "If everything is just a coincidence, then his luck is too good." ”
"Didn't you check on him?" Shen Yindi looked at Mu Ningyuan.
The people in their Dali Temple should all be masters of investigating cases.
Mu Ningyuan was a little frustrated: "I checked, but there are no clues." ”
"If these things are really related to the eldest prince, it must be backed by the queen behind him. No clues were found. ”
Shen Yindi understands that the probability of effective news that can be found is too low.
Like them, who were born in the deep palace and sat in the position of the queen, their means must be very clever.
If you want to do it, you will definitely pick yourself clean.
"Master Mu, you might as well check that person named Meng Shizhao. Starting with him, there may be some gains. Shen Yindi suddenly remembered this.
A look of surprise crossed Mu Ningyuan's eyes.
"Meng Shizhao? The Queen's nephew? He immediately thought of his identity.
"Yes, I heard Chu Yan say that he has been doing business in Jiangnan, so he should know a lot of people, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, he can also do a lot of things."
Shen Yindi said with a smile.
She told him about Gentle Township again.
Mu Ningyuan's eyes lit up: "Okay, that official sent someone to investigate Meng Shizhao." ”
If you can't find anything in one direction, then changing directions is the best way.
Mu Ningyuan stayed on Chu Yan's side for more than an hour before leaving.
It's getting late.
After Chu Yan and Shen Yindi sent him off, he also went back to the room.
Chu Yan has been talking very little tonight, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
"Brother Yan, what are you thinking? Why don't you speak up and discuss it with me? Shen Yindi asked with a smile.
Chu Yan retracted his thoughts.
Looking at Shen Yindi's inquiring eyes, he did not hide it: "I was thinking about some of the things I said to me when I was in the palace and when my mother was still there. ”
"Oh? What did you find? ”
