Chapter 408 Assassin
When Jia Wei saw that Queen Zhou's eyes were watery and seemed to be filled with tears, he quietly climbed up her shoulders with one hand and slowly held her in his arms.

Queen Zhou woke up immediately and said in a trembling voice: "I am the queen, Marquis Yong'an, please respect yourself!"

Jia Wei looked at her and smiled gently: "I just feel sorry for you, Madam..."

He slowly leaned down and kissed Queen Zhou's red lips.

The moment she was kissed, Queen Zhou felt her scalp tingling. This was the only experience she had in her life.

The two kissed for a while, and Queen Zhou held Jia Wei's chest and stepped back half a step.

"You said before that the emperor's illness will not be cured...what did you mean?" She panted, her eyes a little blurry.

"That's what the words mean."

Jia Wei chuckled and did not continue to bully her. Instead, he gently hugged Queen Zhou and stroked her soft back with one hand.

"The emperor is young and strong, and he has no serious illness. He was just frightened after falling into the water. How could he not recover?" Queen Zhou stared at Jia Wei.

Jia Wei said calmly: "Because the rebel king does not want your majesty to recover from his illness, and the officials in the court do not need a young and strong emperor."

"How outrageous!" Queen Zhou cried out in surprise.

"I am used to being unbridled."

As Jia Wei spoke, he picked up Queen Zhou and walked straight towards the phoenix couch.

"Let me go, what do you want to do? I'm going to call someone..." Queen Zhou panicked.

Jia Wei smiled and said, "The queen and I are in love with each other, what does it have to do with others?"

"You shameless and lecherous villain, who would love you..." Queen Zhou fell on the couch, full of panic.

She was the queen, albeit in name only. But if her affair with Jia Wei was exposed, not only would her mother's family be disgraced, but she would also be infamous in history books for eternity.

Queen Zhou naturally did not dare to speak out, but she also did not dare to follow Jia Wei's wishes, so she just gave in half-heartedly.

Jia Wei suddenly stopped what he was doing, held onto the hand with the jade bracelet, and said seriously, "I never force anyone to do anything. If your majesty doesn't want to, I will leave now and never set foot in Kunning Palace again."

Empress Zhou stared at the jade bracelet and remained silent for a while. This deep palace was really too exhausting...

Suddenly she saw the smile on Jia Wei's face again, and immediately felt ashamed: "Go away quickly, and don't come again!"

Jia Wei rushed forward with a smile.

Jia Wei was chewing on some snowballs when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

"There's an assassin! Catch the assassin..."

He has profound internal strength and his hearing is far beyond that of ordinary people, but Queen Zhou is just an ordinary person.

She was just indulging herself, with her soft arms around Jia Wei's neck.

He patted Queen Zhou and whispered, "They are catching the assassin outside."

Queen Zhou was startled and quickly let go of him, her little face flushed.

Jia Wei had just gotten off the phoenix couch and said as he was getting dressed, "I'll come see you next time."

Seeing that Queen Zhou was a little panicked, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to keep you safe."

Seeing him fumbling around, Empress Zhou stood up and helped Jia Wei get dressed. She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

As the passion faded and she calmed down, her mood became extremely complicated.

There were assassins in the palace. At such an urgent moment, Jia Wei certainly had no time to care about her emotions.

After getting dressed, Jia Wei hugged Queen Zhou and kissed her, then flew out of the window.

"Catch assassins!"

Then they saw a team of guards shouting on the palace road. Jia Wei was looking down from a high position. Several teams of patrolling guards were searching the surroundings. There was chaos in the darkness.

Of course, he would not follow these inner guards and run around like a headless fly. Jia Wei had a clear goal and rushed all the way to the Yangxin Palace. The most urgent task, of course, was to ensure the safety of the emperor.

Jia Wei rushed to the Yangxin Palace, only to feel relieved when he saw the Jinyiwei and Longjinwei guarding every place inside and outside.

Dai Quan saw him coming and hurried over: "My Lord, have you caught the assassin?"

"I was just patrolling the inner court, and when I heard the noise I rushed back immediately. Your Majesty was not alarmed, was he?"

Dai Quan shook his head. The emperor was weak now and there were unusual movements in the palace, so he just secretly transferred troops for defense and did not inform Emperor Xuanwu.

"The most urgent task is to find the assassin... Could it be that the thief escaped to the harem? This is a big deal, and the Marquis must find the assassin quickly." Dai Quan said anxiously.

Of course Jia Wei couldn't say that he had just come out of the inner palace, so he had to agree and go to search alone without taking any men.

The imperial city covers an area of ​​more than a thousand acres, and the palace courtyards of all sizes have a total of nearly ten thousand rooms. Even if Jia Wei is the best in the world in terms of lightness skills, he cannot search all these places by himself.

You can only screen and search some places purposefully.

The first to be affected, of course, is Fengzao Palace.

Because the Shenlong Sect also joined the rebel king's forces, the Shenlong Sect had been operating in the harem for more than ten years.

Jia Wei was certain that the person from the Dragon Sect who came to assassinate the emperor was Long Er. If it was Long Er, she would definitely hide in Fengzao Palace.

If the assassins tonight were from the White Lotus Sect, they would know that the emperor was heavily guarded and would most likely focus on the only prince.

The prince was in Fengzao Palace.

Therefore, as long as the safety of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Fengzao Palace is guaranteed, there will be no trouble.

When he arrived at the gate of Fengzao Palace, Jia Wei did not go through the main gate, but sneaked directly to the empress dowager's bedroom. He was also very familiar with the route.

There was an assassination in the palace, and Fengzao Palace was also heavily guarded, and the Empress Dowager's bedroom was directly surrounded.

In the heavily guarded bedroom, the sound of a baby crying could be heard and the figures of palace maids could be seen through the window. There seemed to be nothing unusual.

But Jia Wei knew that Long Er could control the Queen Mother, and he would not be able to rest assured unless he saw with his own eyes that the Queen Mother was safe and sound.

But although he was good at martial arts, he could not be invisible and pass through the wall. He could not sneak in under so many eyes.

Jia Wei had no choice but to use his Qinggong skills to leave Fengzao Palace and re-enter the palace through the palace gate openly.

"Master Hou!"

All the internal guards, imperial guards, or servants from the East and West Factories knelt on the ground to salute, and no one dared to stop Jia Wei when they saw him coming.

"There are assassins breaking into the palace tonight, so be alert!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Before Jia Wei arrived at the bedroom in a hurry, a general came forward to report.

"My Lord, an assassin just broke into the palace. I and others immediately defended Fengzao Palace. Everything is safe and sound."

Jia Wei nodded, bowed and shouted towards the palace: "I am sorry that I failed to do my job well and frightened the Queen Mother. I beg you to be well."

From time to time, the palace gate opened and a palace maid came out to answer: "Greetings, Queen Mother."

The maid was about to go back after answering, but Jia Wei continued, "The assassin is cunning, and I am really worried. I also request to see the Queen Mother."

The maid paused and said, "It's getting late. The Queen Mother has gone to bed. Marquis Yong'an should come back tomorrow."

Jia Wei's expression was calm: "How can I feel at ease if I don't see the Queen Mother in person? Just pass on the message."

At this time, a cold and majestic voice was heard from the hall.

"Please invite Marquis Yong'an into the palace!"
