Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 264 Backstab

Hearing this, the expressions of the two people in the attic changed.

Shen Ruoxi is still down there!

Murong Heng ordered sharply.

"You go protect the Crown Princess first!"

"Yes!"

Leng Ye flew away first.

Murong Heng and Shen Yue also followed immediately.

In the private room, Taoye had just finished combing Shen Ruoxi's hair into a bun. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, they were about to go out when they suddenly heard a scream coming from outside.

Shen Ruoxi was shocked.

"what happened?"

Xiao Yuzi opened the door, looking panicked.

"Princess, a group of assassins came from nowhere, let's evacuate quickly!"

Wei Tingshan patted his thigh.

"Oh, my ancestor, how could he encounter an assassin? His Highness hasn't come here yet. What should I do?"

Shen Ruoxi was also nervous.

The assassin was most likely coming for Murong Heng. With only a cold night around him, he might be in danger.

Leng Shuang pulled out the soft sword beside her and saw her worry.

"Don't worry, Crown Princess, Leng Ye is very skilled and will be able to protect His Highness the Crown Prince."

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

It's a cold night.

Shen Ruoxi frowned.

"Where's Ah Heng?"

"Your Highness is with the Major General. Crown Princess, please retreat with us first!"

With that said, he walked in.

After taking a few steps, the screen in the elegant room was suddenly cut open, a gust of wind came, and all the candles were blown out.

The entire floor suddenly fell into darkness.

Shen Ruoxi was shocked.

Standing next to a few people, she was about to speak when she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

She felt a killing intent.

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

Her body went limp and she became confused for a moment.

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

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

Then, everything went dark.

Before he fainted, there were jagged exclamations coming from his ears.

*

Boundless darkness came, with a suffocating feeling of addiction.

Shen Ruoxi was drowsy and seemed to hear someone talking.

She pulled her eyelids hard and slowly opened her eyes.

In his sight, candlelight flickered faintly, and then his eyes became brighter and clearer.

"Ruoxi."

A low and gentle call sounded in his ears.

Shen Ruoxi's lost thoughts were finally brought back, and her vision became clear.

The palm of my hand felt warm and was held by someone.

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

Murong Heng held her fingers and touched her face with his other hand, gently stroking her soft white skin.

"How does it feel?"

"It's okay...where is this?"

"The previous Prince Ling's Mansion was relatively close to Wangxian Tower, so I brought you here. Don't worry, it's very safe here."

Murong Heng said comfortingly.

Shen Ruoxi nodded slightly, feeling no discomfort, and sat up.

After exerting a little force, I felt a pain in my neck.

The cold feeling of being knocked out before climbed up her spine, and she subconsciously reached out and touched her throat.

She remembered that she was fed something.

Poison?

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

There were several people standing groveling aside, all doctors.

She frowned.

"I've been poisoned?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Murong Heng said: "You're fine."

The doctor next to him also nodded immediately: "The Crown Princess, Jirentianxiang, did not suffer any injuries, but her neck was hit by gravity and there are some bruises. Apply some medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis for a few days, and it will be fine."

that's it?

Shen Ruoxi was a little surprised.

So what happened to what she ate?

Murong Heng noticed her worry and rubbed her fingertips with his fingers.

"Don't be afraid, I will ask the doctor to come over and take a look."

"Princess, it's great that you are okay!"

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

Xiao Yuzi handed her a handkerchief.

"The Crown Princess is a blessed person, I think nothing will happen to her."

Leng Shuang's tangled brows gradually relaxed.

Wei Tingshan also stroked his chest.

"I'm scared to death, old slave. If something happens to you, how will the slaves explain to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Facing their concern, Shen Ruoxi didn't feel warm.

Instead, I felt cold all over my body.

These were the people who surrounded her in Wangxian Tower before.

So it was one of them who took action against her.

Peach leaves, Leng Shuang, Xiao Yuzi, Wei Tingshan.

Including the cold nights that followed.

Everyone is suspect, but everyone looks so innocent.

Shen Ruoxi tightened her fingers slightly and reached out to rub the center of her brow.

"I'm a little tired."

Murong Heng understood instantly. He stretched out his hand to signal, and everyone in the room retreated.

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

"what happened?"

"Before, it was dark in Wangxian Tower. The only people around me were Tao Ye and Leng Shuang. I could feel... the person 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 in anger.

"As expected, it's someone around me."

All of them have been trained and selected by me with great pains, and they are extremely trustworthy, except for Tao Ye.

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

"besides……"

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

Murong Heng's expression instantly became tense.

Shen Ruoxi held his finger instead.

"But I didn't notice anything strange, and the doctor also looked at it and there was no sign of poisoning."

"Some of the imperial doctors in the palace are very knowledgeable about poisons, so they entered the palace immediately."

Murong Heng didn't believe that what was fed to her would be something good.

"Don't worry, I didn't notice anything unusual."

Shen Ruoxi asked.

"Has the matter at Wangxian Tower been dealt with?"

"The matter is quite big. There are all the princes and nobles inside, and the guards are very tight, but they have suffered such a big assassination. This matter has alarmed my father. The Forbidden Army, the Ministry of War and the Dali Temple have all gone. There should be someone soon. result."

Murong Heng's noble brows were filled with a layer of coldness.

Shen Ruoxi asked.

"Assassin, are you here for me?"

"No."

This assassination had obviously been organized for a long time, and after the assassins came in, they attacked almost indiscriminately, killing two officials and several women, and many others were injured.

But he didn't want to care about that at the moment.

"I'll have someone prepare a carriage and enter the palace."

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

Now that the assassin hasn't figured out what happened, he is worried about leaving her in Prince Ling's Mansion.

After everything was ready, Murong Heng carried Shen Ruoxi out of the house and got into the carriage.

Behind him, Leng Shuang and Tao Ye were about to follow, but were stopped by his look.

"You will walk with the carriage below."

The two immediately retreated.

After entering the palace, Murong Heng called all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital over. After examining Shen Ruoxi, they discovered a clue.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess's body did show signs of poisoning..."
