Jiaochu

Chapter 518 Assassin
Eunuch Gao shouted to escort him, and the guards guarding the shore immediately rushed over from the verandahs on all sides and surrounded the water platform on three levels inside and three outside. Not even a fly could fly in. Then a bunch of guards rushed over. , the verandah bank was full of people, hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at the water surface, jumping wherever they saw any movement, one by one like dumplings, in less than a cup of tea, there were people on the water surface. There were dozens more heads, floating and sinking for a while. There was noisy for a while, but no one was caught.

A dark shadow floated past, and a sharp-eyed guard just happened to see it. He was frightened and shouted that there was a ghost. The sound of shouting out immediately caused the water surface to flutter like a pot exploding. Some timid people were so frightened that they hurried to the shore. Side tour.

At this time, a figure flew over, raised his sword and slashed, immediately splitting the water into two, causing waves to rise into the sky, and the guards who had not had time to get ashore were washed ashore. The visitor landed at the foot of the steps. The sword in his hand was wrapped in black cloth. Before it was unsheathed, the sword energy alone had such power, and its strength was even more unfathomable.

This person is Lei Qi, one of the two guards that An Ning brought to Da Hui before.

When the people came, Qi Huang felt much more at ease. Even if he was a water ghost, he wanted to find out what he looked like.

A guard hurried over to report that someone had been caught and was washed ashore by the waves just now. She was a female assassin. Emperor Qi asked the guard to bring the person over.

Upon hearing that it was a female assassin, the eldest princes of the Chen Kingdom and the eldest prince of the Wei Kingdom became interested. They stretched their necks to look at the shore, wanting to see what the female assassin looked like. An Ning became more and more disdainful of the two of them, and at the same time, she was thinking about how to punish her later to relieve her anger. The other party caused her to make a fool of herself in public and disrupted her plan. Her original plan was to wait until the dance performance was over before letting her go. People were calling out assassins on the shore to see how these princes would respond. Now it seems that those seven are useless.

After a cup of tea, the guard came over with the person. His hands were tied, and one end of the rope was held in the hand of a guard. More than ten guards surrounded him to prevent the person from jumping into the water and escaping again.

The two eldest princes wanted to feast their eyes on how beautiful this female assassin was, but they brought a disheveled ghost with long wet hair hanging down in all directions. They couldn't even distinguish the face from the back of the head. I was startled, thinking that it was really a female ghost who was very unlucky, so I hid away, not wanting to take another look.

"How dare you! Don't kneel down yet!" Eunuch Gao scolded sternly.

The two guards held the female assassin down and asked her to kneel down, but she sat directly on the ground, raised her bound hands and wiped away the hair sticking to her face, revealing a bright rouge mark on her forehead.

Seeing that face, three pairs of eyes were stunned at the same time.

Ye Xingye was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Seeing an identical face again, he felt that his brain was running out.

The two eldest princes originally thought it was unlucky, but they no longer felt unlucky after seeing that face. It was like a hibiscus coming out of clear water, naturally carved. The bright red birthmark on their foreheads also grew just right. Her hair was charming and charming, and when they saw this face, the two of them didn't even bother to steal another glance at An Ning.

An Ning looked at the face and directly ordered someone to slap it. The two eldest princes really couldn't bear the slightest damage to that beautiful face, but they didn't dare to stand up and say a word. Her personal maid, Hongxian, walked over and hit a wall before she even got there. She looked up and saw the cold and horrifying gaze behind the mask. She couldn't help but be timid and took two steps back.

She looked up at the back in front of her, frowning slightly, as if she was trying to remember who the back was. Thinking about it made her head start to hurt again, so she covered her head and stopped thinking.

"Could it be that His Highness is in the same group as her?" An Ning said.

Ye Xingye didn't bother to explain, all he thought about was one question:
Is it Lingxi?
Isn’t Lingxi in the North? Why did he come here? Why is there an extra birthmark on his forehead? If it weren’t for Lingxi, he would look too similar...

The more he thought about it, the more he felt his brain wasn't enough.

Seeing that Ye Xingye ignored him, An Ning asked the guards to take Yan Fei down, but Emperor Qi did not stop him.

The guards around her approached, and she reached out to grab the hem of Yan Fei's clothes. This familiar move shocked his heart again. He turned his head and met the clear eyes looking at him. There was no reason to convince him that he was not the same person. , he didn’t know why she appeared here, and he didn’t know where the birthmark on her forehead came from, but he knew it was her. Those eyes would not lie to him, and the hand grabbing the corner of his clothes would not lie to him. .

The guards surrounded the two people, and An Ning gave the order. Just as the guards were about to take action, a gentle voice stopped them. "etc."

Everyone's attention shifted to Yan Lianjue, the fourth prince of Xiyan. He stood up and walked towards the two of them. The two guards in front of him were swept away by his sharp eyes and moved out of the way to let him pass. He walked up to her, knelt down, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her face. When he reached out, she dodged it. He gently coaxed, "Don't be afraid." He handed the handkerchief to her with a gentle look on his face. With a smile on her face, she looked at the face, then at the veil, and then looked up at Yan Fei, as if asking for his consent.

Yan Fei bent down, reached out to help her up, and gently wiped the water from her face with his sleeves. Yan Lianjue stood up, put the handkerchief back into his sleeve, and said to Qi Huang, "This girl is not an assassin."

An Ning sneered and said: "It is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. It seems that His Highness is no different."

Emperor Qi originally wanted to bring the two of them together, but he was afraid that they would quarrel if they disagreed, so he tried to reconcile it. Maybe it was the palace maid who accidentally fell into the water. When he asked her what her name was, she shook her head and couldn't remember her name. what.

Eunuch Gao said that she was scared to death, and An Ning sneered, "She was just pretending to be pitiful and wanted to get away with it. Looking at the clothes she was wearing, you knew she was not a palace maid. There were so many guards who went into the water and no one was caught. How could she be?" Ordinary people hiding in the water are either trying to assassinate my father or several of their highnesses.”

She shook her head and said, "I saw lights on the water. They were colorful and beautiful, so I swam up."

An Ning frowned and said impatiently: "What's this mess? Tell me honestly who sent you. If you tell me, you'll save yourself some trouble."

She shook her head.

Seeing her shaking her head An Ning became angry and was taken away for severe questioning.

"no!"

This time, Ye Xingye stopped him. He walked over to stand with the two of them and said, "I brought her here." An Ning said sarcastically, "Then who is His Highness? His Highness is not married, so she must be It’s a roommate.”

"Fart!" Ye Xingye turned purple with anger and cursed, which shocked An Ning. Yan Fei said, "She is my wife." This time it was Ye Xingye's turn to be frightened, and then he nodded in agreement and said Three pairs of words. An Ning said, "Since she is your wife, why doesn't she recognize you?" Yan Fei said, "She doesn't have a good memory. She got sick not long ago and even I forgot about it. I don't worry about leaving her alone." I brought it with me when I left it at home. She has been good at water since she was a child and likes to hide in the water to scare me. This time she also wanted to hide and scare others. "

Ye Xingzhi was so impressed by Yan Fei that he told lies so easily that no one could find any loopholes.

An Ning couldn't find any flaws, and didn't want to get around her easily, so she said, "Since you are in the palace, you should abide by the rules of the palace. According to the palace rules, you will be punished with twenty canes."

Yan Fei said: "I was negligent for a moment. If you want to be punished, punish me."

An Ning said: "You didn't take good care of others. Of course you are also at fault. You will be fined twenty for each."

Yan Lianjue said: "Princess Suwen is generous. Since this girl is not an assassin, why don't the princess be lenient?"

An Ning said: "His Highness is really kind-hearted, but it's a pity that no matter how kind-hearted he is, he has no reputation."

Emperor Qi tried to smooth things over and said, "He is just a patient. He doesn't even recognize him. It's so pitiful. I'll let the imperial doctor take a good look at him later, and the penalty will be waived. It won't be the same next time." Eunuch Gao promised.
