Chapter 265 Assassin
The Imperial Army escorted Xue Ru and the peddler back, and brought back two sets of crossbows at the same time.

As soon as the crossbow was displayed, it really verified their previous speculation.This is a powerful crossbow in the army, and it is definitely beyond the control of ordinary people.

All doubts point to Duke Zhao. The emperor looked at Yanling as if he was looking at a traitor.

"Your Majesty! I really didn't do anything." Yanling could only cry out her grievances loudly, her eyes were red, "Since I returned to Beijing with Your Majesty, I have treated you like a king and a father, and I have kept every word in my heart. You told me to miss you at home. But, I just thought about it at home. I haven’t left a single step these days, and the guards are well restrained. These things are really not done by the minister, please look into it.”

Seeing him bowing his head to the ground and crying bitterly, some people were indifferent, some felt happy, and some sighed.

The prince couldn't bear it any longer, and knelt down: "Father! To convict the Yan family, there must be real evidence, right? This is a strong crossbow in the army, but it is not limited to the Yan family army. Besides, General Yu It’s too obvious that I just sued them, and then I killed them when I turned around, so I’m not asking for trouble for my family?”

At the critical moment, he became alert.After saying these words, some neutral courtiers couldn't help but nodded.

Officials who favored Duke Zhao took the opportunity to speak out: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is right. If something goes wrong, you are a monster. If Duke Zhao really hates General Yu, you can wait a year or so before taking action. Why bother?" What about this time?"

"That's right, the Second Master Yan is still in Beijing, Duke Zhao must always feel sorry for his son, right?"

The emperor was also shaken by what they said.The crossbow really wasn't evidence, so he set his sights on the two assassins.

The leader of the imperial army reported: "Your Majesty, the general finally found that restaurant and found these two crossbows in the room of Yu Zihao. The two assassins wanted to escape, but we caught them in time!"

So, this is a catch?The emperor looked at the two assassins with doubts on his face.These two people were dressed in ordinary clothes, and there was a woman inside. According to his thinking, the assassins who moved the heavy crossbow should be two strong men.

However, who knows if the other party did it on purpose?Dressed like this, it is easy to be ignored.

Thinking of this, the emperor turned pale and asked, "Say! Who is your envoy?"

After Duan Wang recognized Xue Ru, he was very nervous.

He didn't know what happened, why Xue Ru came back from the dead.But he immediately realized one thing, he was in big trouble.

Xue Ru is one of his people, and the peddler with her is also a spy of Prince Duan's Mansion. This fact is known, and he can't get away with it!

Someone plot against him?When this thought came up, Duan Wang was enlightened, and a chill came down his back.

What Zhao Guogong, he is the one the other party really wants to frame!
hateful!How to break the situation now?He wasn't ready yet, if he stabbed him in front of the emperor now, it would be more than auspicious...

How could Xue Ru recognize it?She was caught in front of the emperor in a daze, and when she saw King Duan at the scene, she was filled with fear, afraid that she would die here and that she would hurt King Duan.

Hearing the emperor's question, she hurriedly called out: "Your Majesty, you are wronged! We are just passing by, and we don't know what assassin..."

"Sophistry!" The team saw her dishonesty, and shouted in a cold voice, "You are a flower seller, will you pass by a luxury restaurant?"

He turned back and clasped his fists, and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the third floor where the heavy crossbow is located is the VIP box of the restaurant. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter or leave. It is impossible for them to pass by."

The emperor nodded and looked at Xue Ru with a colder expression: "Seeing that you are just a girl, I don't want to use severe punishment. If you don't take it seriously, then don't blame me for not pity you."

Xue Ru's face turned pale. On the one hand, it was the pain. Her wound was not healed, and the painkillers she was taking had gradually expired.On the other hand, she was scared. Although she had done a lot of arrogant things in the past, she relied on the backing of King Duan.But this time it was the emperor, she could only grit her teeth: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people was really wronged..."

In the middle of speaking, Dui Zheng suddenly picked up the tea from the side and poured it on her head.

Xue Ru let out an "ah" and wanted to struggle, but was held tightly by the other two guards.

The water soaked her face, and the powder flowed down, showing different marks.Tui was reaching out and groping her face for a while, tearing off a few thin strips of skin.

In front of the public, Xue Ru was torn off his disguise, revealing his true appearance.

Princess Changning who was standing at the door let out a low cry, grabbed Xu Yin's sleeve tightly, and asked nervously and excitedly: "Look, this...is this the disguise technique mentioned in the script?"

Xu Yin nodded as usual, "It should be."

Xue Ru's side is not over yet, Dui is just finished tearing off her face, then tore off her turban, pulled out the long needle hidden in the bun, the poison at the waist, the dagger in the boot...

Throwing everything out, the emperor's face sank, and the courtiers gasped.

Just like that, you still say that you are not an assassin?
The same goes for the peddler next to him. His beard is fake, his eyebrows have been glued on, and he has no fewer murder weapons than Xue Ru.

These two people are simply walking knives!
At this time, a courtier said suspiciously: "This female assassin looks familiar! It seems to be, it seems to be..."

"Everyone Xue!" an official blurted out.

Xue Ru's reputation is not small. In order to make her famous, Prince Duan spent a lot of effort.Before she went to Nanyuan, she was in the limelight in the capital. No matter who's family had a banquet, they would be proud to invite everyone Xue to play, so quite a few people knew her.

As soon as the name was called out, everyone looked at her face.

Although his face was pale and haggard, but with this appearance, he was indeed Master Xue who was well-known in the capital!

Princess Changning was also taken aback: "Master Xue? Is that Xue Jiaoxi who taught me? She, she is actually an assassin? Then..."

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Master Xue had been her tutor for a few months. If she had been allowed to get close to her father, wouldn't even her father be in danger?God!Who is she?How do you have such a great skill?
Yu Manqing could hear clearly, and once again turned his resentful eyes on Duan Wang.

Sure enough, it was Duan Wang who did it.She knew about the enmity between her father and King Duan, and it was King Duan who sent Master Xue to approach her father in disguise to find out the news.This Master Xue is a member of King Duan!
Yu Manqing's heart was like boiling oil. She didn't want her father to be charged as a traitor and traitor after his death, but she hated the thought of Duan Wang, a murderer, at large.

Isn't there a way to have both?After much deliberation, she finally gritted her teeth, stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty! My daughter has something to report!"
