A scholar’s ​​path to becoming a god

Chapter 237 Attacked in the middle of the night

As he read through it, the emperor's face became more and more green, and finally he threw the book into Xigui's face:

"Bitch, what else do you have to say? These things are exactly the same as the books you have read, and there are signs of reading them recently. Do you still want to deny them?"

Knowing that the situation was over, Xigui concubine collapsed on the ground.

The emperor was furious and said: "The noble concubine Liu Shi has plotted to kill the emperor's heirs and high-ranking concubines. She has no talent and no virtue. She will die by poisoning her with alcohol.

Discipline in the Shangshu Mansion was lax, and all the adult men were beheaded in public display. All the remaining men were exiled to Yanzhou, and all the women were used as official prostitutes! "

A few words decided that Xigui's concubine and Shangshufu had come to an end.

Then the emperor looked at Yu Zhaorong with disgust: "Zhaorong Xu has agreed to move to Yutao Pavilion. From now on, she will not appear in front of me again."

The murderer was found, and it was already late at night outside. Everyone went back to the palace to rest.

The emperor was in a heavy heart and was not in the mood to turn over the signs, so he went directly to the Yangxin Hall.

"It's already very late. Go to my palace and rest." Ruan Lu took Sheng Zhiyu's arm.

"Not today. Something big happened in Duke Li's mansion. I have to go back." Sheng Zhiyu shook his head.

"Well, be careful on the road." Ruan Lu knew the importance, so she tried to persuade him to stay tomorrow.

Because of this farce, the originally planned request for a marriage was not made in time.

Sheng Zhiyu sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to relax, but there was a noise outside.

Then came the panicked voice of the guard: "Help, there is an assassin!"

assassin?

Sheng Zhiyu's eyes narrowed, and the first thing that came to his mind was Xigui's natal family, the Minister of War.

Xigui's concubine caused the Shangshufu to have her house ransacked, and all her family members were exiled to work as prostitutes. The Shangshufu may have spies in the palace and wanted to kill her to vent his anger. In other words, use her as a hostage.

Unfortunately, her cultivation was suppressed. If it were a large group of assassins, it would probably be difficult to escape.

At this moment, Sheng Zhiyu heard the sound of breaking through the air outside and quickly lay down.

I saw that the position where she was just now had been penetrated by an arrow.

"Sheng Zhiyu, come out and die!" A roar sounded outside.

Sure enough, it was for her.

Sheng Zhiyu opened the curtain and saw bloodstains all over the ground, with the bodies of the guards lying strewn about.

The other party also suffered some casualties, and the five or six men in black were all injured.

Seeing her coming out, the eyes of the man in black brightened up: "I didn't expect that Duke Li's daughter was so stunningly beautiful. Let the brothers have fun, and we'll leave you a whole body!"

"I advise you to stop. There is no need to sacrifice your life for a declining Shangshufu." Sheng Zhiyu said.

She had already seen more than a dozen men in black, and it was definitely not possible to confront them head-on.

The man in black chuckled and said, "Even if we are not looking for wealth, we are still looking for sex. If you die under peonies, you can be a ghost and be romantic!"

Sheng Zhiyu knew that it would be bad if she stayed any longer, so she jumped onto the horse, flicked her whip, and the horse immediately roared and ran forward.

The men in black behind them were not willing to lag behind and directly caught up with them.

When Sheng Zhiyu saw that the man in black actually had Qinggong, he immediately started shouting: "Help, it's murder!"

But just as she expected, none of the lights in so many mansions were on for fear of setting themselves on fire.

Sheng Zhiyu gritted his teeth and swung the whip down hard. The horse felt pain and immediately sped up.

But a sharp arrow suddenly hit the horse's hindquarters. The horse was immediately frightened and began to swing wildly.

At this moment, a figure jumped up behind Sheng Zhiyu and reined in the horse firmly.

"Qin Tian, ​​why are you here?" Sheng Zhiyu was in shock, but felt relieved when he saw Qin Tian.

Qin Tian said: "I guess you won't stay in the palace for fear that you will be in danger, so I will wait for you on this road."

Sheng Zhiyu felt warm in her heart, but it was precisely because Qin Tian was waiting for her here, otherwise she might die today.

Ahead was Jing Zhaoyin's mansion. She must have been alarmed by her shout just now, because the whole mansion was immediately brightly lit.

"What happened?" Jing Zhaoyin, dressed in casual clothes, opened the door to check the situation, followed by a group of guards.

Qin Tian reined in his horse and finally stopped at the gate of Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

When the man in black behind him saw that she had found the reinforcements, he immediately turned around and ran away.

"Catch them!" Jing Zhaoyin shouted angrily, "If you dare to kill people at the feet of the Emperor, I want to see where they come from!"

A group of guards with high martial arts skills chased him, and the street suddenly became lively.

After all, they were guards raised by the capital, not just for free. In the end, all five assassins were caught.

Many officials around the streets were "awakened" and began to go out to watch the excitement.

"General Qin, Miss Sheng, you are frightened. I will send someone to bring you safely to the house." Jing Zhaoyin said.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Qin Tian said politely.

When something like this happened, Jingzhao Yinjia sent people to send Sheng Zhiyu back to the Duke of Li's mansion.

The lights have not been turned off in Duke Li's mansion. In the hall, Duke Li still doesn't know the news about Sheng Zhiyu's assassination in the middle of the night, and is immersed in the pain of Concubine Sheng's death.

"Sir, how could such a sensible child like Mei'er be gone without saying anything?" Ms. Chen beside her cried heartbreakingly.

"Dad, mother, I'm back." Sheng Zhiyu walked into the hall.

When Duke Li saw Qin Tian sending Sheng Zhiyu back and a large group of guards following him, he asked, "What's going on?"

The captain of the guard who sent Sheng Zhiyu back told him the general situation.

Duke Li's expression changed immediately, and Mrs. Chen rushed forward to check her. Seeing that she was not injured, she burst into tears: "Yu'er, you scared me to death. What will happen if you do something wrong again!"

Sheng Zhiyu looked at Mrs. Chen who was crying heartbrokenly: "Mom, am I back now?"

Duke Li frowned: "The security in the capital is so good, how could we encounter assassins?"

Sheng Zhiyu told her guess, and Chen's eyes filled with tears of grief and anger: "Mei'er has never harmed them. The Shangshu Mansion really went too far!"

"Your Majesty will give an explanation to Duke Li's Mansion." Sheng Zhiyu said, "The Liu family of Shangshu Mansion will be removed from the capital from now on."

"But my Mei'er can't come back either." Mrs. Chen burst into tears.

Seeing Chen's behavior, Duke Li Guo advised: "Madam, people cannot be resurrected after death, so don't be too sad. Yu'er saw through the conspiracy of Shangshufu, and he avenged Mei'er.

But as far as I know, the Minister of War has secretly defected to King Zhao's lineage in recent years. This matter is likely to have King Zhao's handiwork, otherwise it would be impossible for a Shangshu Mansion to gather so many masters. "

Mrs. Chen wiped her eyes: "The harem is too dangerous and I won't let Yu'er enter the harem no matter what!"

Qin Tian watched quietly and then spoke: "I will ask the emperor to marry Miss Sheng tomorrow on the grounds that I fell in love at first sight."
