After refusing to marry the prince, the general regretted it too much

At that time, Miao Yue Mansion, which was originally noisy and flustered, finally calmed down under the order of the guards of the Eastern Palace.

Not long after, someone came to report: "Your Highness, all the assassins who infiltrated the Miao Yue Mansion have been killed, and the ministers are incompetent, so they failed to survive."

As Xie Heng expected, without the previous variable, the so-called hole cards in Duanwang's hands would not be enough to compete with Donggong.

He nodded, looked at Qin Ye who was trying to take off the human skin mask on his face, but seemed to think of something, and said, "Who is that person? Looks familiar to you."

Qin Ye remembered his original intention of wearing this mask, and gave up the plan to reveal his true face in great distress. He said in a muffled voice: "The leader of the Southern Zhou Emperor's imperial guards, surnamed Liang Mingchu, martial arts is not bad."

Xie Heng was silent.

Qin Ye has always had a very high vision, and does not boast easily.

He boasted that it was good, and he was still very good at martial arts, so his previous feeling should be correct, this Liang Chu is really extremely dangerous.

"Is it alright for him to die here?" Xie Heng paused before asking.

If it is an ordinary slain, regardless of success or failure in the assassination of the prince, the possibility of saving his life is too low. No matter how high the cost is, no matter how poor the king is, it is impossible to calculate this point.

It is not necessarily the case for a master of the Southern Zhou Dynasty like Liang Chu.

The new king of Southern Zhou Dynasty sent him here only for the few cities promised by Prince Duan himself, and he didn't intend to get along with a leader of the imperial guards.

It was just a part-time job. If Qin Ye wasn't around, Liang Chu would flee thousands of miles incognito after killing someone, which would be very possible.

I just don't know, is there any agreement between this person and King Duan?

Qin Ye shook his head and said: "This person is withdrawn, and he does extraordinary things from time to time. Since Prince Duan is cooperating with him, he is expected to be somewhat prepared. Your Highness will increase the strength of the assassins in the city, but he will not report back. reason."

Xie Heng felt a little relieved, he hesitated in his heart, and said: "How many people like Liang Chu are there in the world?"

Knowing what the crown prince was thinking, Qin Ye smiled: "Liang Chu counts as one, King Rong of Beidi royal family counts as one, General Xi Rong counts as one, Gu Mingxuan counts as half, and there will be no more."

There was some comfort in his smile: "People like Liang Chu shouldn't have come to our Tang capital in the first place. I'm afraid it's because King Duan lured him with huge profits and he's confident that he won't be discovered. If His Highness wants to vent his anger, When I have free time in the future, I will also take a trip to the capital of the Southern Zhou Dynasty."

Take a trip to the capital of the Southern Zhou Dynasty and kill a few princes for revenge?

Luckily he figured it out.

Xie Heng's brows and eyes, which had been tense all the time, stretched a little bit, and there was a little gentleness in the pupils of the eyes that had been stern. He heard Qin Ye continue: "Actually, if you want to treat the symptoms, you don't have to be so troublesome."

Xie Heng raised his eyebrows, showing an expression of listening attentively.

Could it be that you want to go to Beidi Xirong again and kill those two too?

"If I am within a few meters of His Highness at all times, no matter who comes, I will be able to protect His Highness."

Xie Heng: "..."

What do you say?

Staying within a few feet all the time, even ordinary couples, is too clingy.

A strange picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

If Qin Ye really became a queen in the future and sat in the Lizheng Hall of Queen Zhao, what would he look like?

The queen of other people's family is virtuous, virtuous and dignified, and she visits officials and family members every morning and evening.

It doesn't matter if the queen of her own family is sour and jealous to seduce the king, every day he...

Fire prevention, robbery and assassin arrest?

With Qin Ye's vigorous energy, let alone an assassin, he might be able to tidy up the palace into a clean place where he would never pick up anything lost on the road.

Praise the high and step down, steal and play tricks?nonexistent.

Those ruffian soldiers with knives in the Queen's Company can stop them. Are you afraid of you?

Every day, he always stays by his side in the name of protection. Although the love of the emperor and empress is a good thing, but it is too good, I am afraid that some officials will hand over a few booklets of 'wet the rain and the dew'.

Qin Ye felt that the crown prince looked at him inexplicably, but he never thought of the reason.

What he said just now...is there nothing wrong with it?

With great difficulty, Xie Heng pulled himself out of the terrifying vision of the future, forced himself to wake up, and then said to Gu Mingzhao who hurried over from the outside after the situation stabilized: "According to what I said before, control the nearby merchants. People, carefully search for evidence on these assassins, if there are any clues, no matter who they are, they will be arrested."

Even the corners of the prince's clothes are neat, his gestures are the same as before, and his orders are also very orderly.

But for some reason, Gu Mingzhao always felt that the prince's expression...

A little dazed?

-

summer resort.

It was almost dawn last night, even though it was almost noon, Emperor Hui's expression was still tired, but his face looked very energetic, not at all like an old man who was over sixty years old and still having fun all day long.

Only the eunuch Wang Ruhai who was with him felt a little worried.

The emperor has been taking more and more kinds of elixirs recently, as if someone is deliberately pushing the flames and catering to them.

Originally, how normal is it for someone to cater to the emperor?

But the question now is, what about resistance?

The news in the Summer Resort was strictly suppressed, and it never reached the ears of officials, and in the harem, the queen never came, and the remaining concubines only wanted to please the king every day, how could they expect such things?

It was at noon when the emperor received the news that the prince had been assassinated.

The official who was in charge of delivering the memorials to and from the capital hurriedly entered the hall, knelt down with a bang, and told the news in a hurry.

"The prince was assassinated?! Was he assassinated in Lefang? How was the injury?"

Perhaps it was because the amount of information in this news was too great, the emperor was stunned for two breaths after hearing this, before he fully reacted, and asked a series of questions out of his mouth.

The official knelt at the bottom of the steps, with a little cold sweat on his forehead, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness was stabbed in the chest, but fortunately the injury is not serious, and the imperial physician has gone to treat it now."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

The crown prince is the prince of the country, although he is not very fond of him, but his whole body is of great importance, if something happens, he is not happy to see it.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Wang Ruhai took a few people back to see the prince, and also brought back the court judge who was serving by my side, so that the prince can rest more."

If the crown prince was seriously injured or even dying, the emperor would of course have to return to Beijing immediately, whether as an old father who cared about his own children or as the lord of Qi who wanted to stabilize the court.

If the injury is not serious...it is another matter.

The emperor lay back down peacefully, even the attitude of seeking pleasure was the same as before, and he was not affected much by this sudden news.

Unexpectedly, another fast horse came to Tangjing in the evening.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Gu Mingzhao, the commander of the guards, thoroughly investigated the people who assassinated today, and found the special emblem of the Jin Palace from the clothes of the leader. He suspected that this was the envoy of His Royal Highness Jin. His Royal Highness was furious... Let people lead troops to surround Jin Wangfu!"

?

Huidi's anger at being disturbed again stagnated for a moment.

He couldn't understand something.

It is not surprising that the prince was assassinated, and he was suspected to be the envoy of King Jin.

It's not surprising that the prince wants to fall on King Jin's head in a self-directed and self-acted "Assassination".

The strange thing is that the crown prince actually asked people to surround Jin Wang's mansion.

The prince's status is the most noble, but Jin Wang is also a dignified prince. Can the prince's mansion be surrounded without asking for an imperial decree?

The prince has always acted softly and cowardly by nature, has he changed his temper now, or is he mad because of the evidence?

"Nonsense!" The emperor subconsciously yelled, stood up and sat down again, "What reason does King Jin have to assassinate the prince at this time? Is a badge enough to convict him! How can he lead troops to capture him!"

The kneeling official didn't look at the spittle flying in front of the hall, but lowered his head and said, "A few days ago, there were rumors in the capital that Mr. Ning Xun from Xuanpinghou's Mansion disappeared suddenly on his way back to Beijing from his inspection tour of the Yanzheng. The suspect is... Gone."

The emperor was stunned.

The official continued: "Before the news spread in Tangjing, Mr. Ning Xun personally sent an urgent report to Prince Jin's mansion with a horse in the downtown area. In the afternoon of that day, His Royal Highness Prince Jin took people to the Royal Garden to make a big fuss. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was recovering from illness, so he did not meet him."

He spoke in a low volume, and he was a little cautious, but it caused a storm in the emperor's heart.

Ning Xun is dead?

He didn't really think that the prince would secretly kill Ning Xun, there was really no need for it.

It can be seen that Xie Ke attaches great importance to Ning Xun. Knowing the news, it is too possible to go crazy on the spot, and it is a trivial matter to go to the prince on the spot.

Maybe the prince is really sick, or maybe he knows something he doesn't want to see. In Xie Ke's eyes, it is naturally a sign of guilty conscience.

Then, if he was really provoked...it is not impossible to send a few people to assassinate him in the street.

The problem is that if he went crazy this trip, it is impossible for Donggong to let him bully him!

If it is really Xie Ke who succeeds, the prince may be gentle and elegant, and still have a bit of brotherly affection, how can the servants of the Eastern Palace agree?

The emperor's heart tightened for a while, and he swallowed quietly, before ordering in a panic: "Return to the capital! Let the minister in front of the palace give orders immediately, and return to the capital as soon as possible!"

In an instant, there was a burst of chaos.

The person who waited for the report left and left, Wang Ruhai stepped forward quietly, lightly poured a cup of hot tea for the emperor, and looked at the emperor carefully.

Only half an hour later, the energy and spirit of the Ninth Five Lord seemed to be taken away a bit, and even the posture of sitting alone showed a little fatigue.

He asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you still need to take medicine today?"

The pills were made by several celestial masters kept by the emperor for fun. The emperor had to take it every day, and it was difficult to continue the next day if he stopped for a day. Twice he stopped and stopped after looking at it, and he got a seizure.

The emperor shook his hands dejectedly: "No need."

An indescribable silence permeated the hall.

The emperor's eyes were bloodshot, he sighed after a while, and said softly: "Did the medicine in Qin Ye's mansion be taken on time? Has it been discovered?"

Wang Ruhai was startled.

He vaguely knew that the reason for the emperor's avoidance of leaving the capital was to deal with Dingguo's mansion.

But he really didn't know that the two sons were beating their lives to death now, and Tangjing was about to become a mess. What this man was thinking about was actually this matter.

"The person placed in Dingguogong's mansion replied that he has continued to act according to His Majesty's orders. Dingguogong seems to be sicker. He used to wander around the courtyard occasionally, but now he doesn't even leave the door."

The look on the emperor's face was dark and difficult to understand.

"It's good that there is nothing unusual..." He said slowly, "So, give them the medicine that the Celestial Master paid tribute to, and find a suitable time."

"ASAP."
