Fair Lady

This night, many people in the capital were uneasy.Many people received the news, but they were half-hearted. Many people knew that the assassin had entered the paddock, but who was assassinated?Are there any casualties?Did the assassin catch it?Why is everyone not allowed to leave? ... all unknown.

Of course, there is the most important point: Is the emperor well?The crown prince has not yet been determined.

This night, the capital seemed calm, but there were turbulent waves in the dark. In certain study rooms and darkrooms of several mansions, candles were burning until dawn. Everyone was busy inquiring, guessing, analyzing, and formulating countermeasures...

The Lianghou Mansion, which has the most people in the mansion, is the quietest, except for twice as many guards as usual who are on duty with vigilance.

In the other courtyard of the paddock, the main courtyard was brightly lit. The emperor was wearing a golden robe, sitting by the bed, and anxiously asked the accompanying imperial physician: "What's going on? Why hasn't Yue'er woke up yet?"

The fourth princess leaned in Shuyao's arms, her face still undecided in shock: "Sister Yao'er, woo woo, will Yue'er be okay?"

Shuyao comforted and patted the back of the fourth princess, she was also very worried, the masked man in black knocked Princess Yue on the back of the neck, and Yue'er passed out, it has been so long now, Haven't woken up yet.

Today is so dangerous, if it wasn't for Lord Yu, she wouldn't know if she would come and save Princess Yue.

The imperial physician took the pulse of Princess Yue again, and replied affirmatively: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Princess Yue is fine, and she will wake up soon." Princess Yue's pulse is stable at this moment, and the blood flow is normal, it should be just that one Knock hate.I was frightened again, after all, she was just a cute little girl, wasn't she?

The accompanying imperial physicians who came to hunt are all the best in all kinds of traumatology in the imperial hospital. It's not that the emperor doesn't trust them, it's just that he is too anxious. If something happens to Yue'er, how will he explain to the emperor's brother, Prince Yong?What's more, Yue'er was noticed by the assassin only to warn him.It's really a tiger father without a dog girl. Xia Shuyao's courage and flying needles shocked him today, and his innocent and sweet little niece also impressed him.

Because of the strict defense measures in the paddock, the emperor was more relaxed.He refused to let people follow him all the time.

During the hunting break, I saw three little girls grilling meat with great interest. The emperor, who was busy with state affairs on weekdays, suddenly became interested. He sent the shadow guards away, and participated in a serious way to roast a rabbit leg with his own hands.The three little girls rushed to help him prepare various ingredients and seasonings.

At this moment, Princess Yue who came over with the sauce suddenly exclaimed, "Uncle Emperor, be careful."As soon as he raised his head, a black shadow descended from the sky and approached him, with the blade stabbing straight at his chest.Princess Yue threw the sauce jar at the assassin while exclaiming, but how could a pampered 11-year-old girl have any strength?The porcelain jar shattered not far from her with a "bang", still far from the assassin.

Almost at the same time, several lights and shadows flashed.The assassin's hand trembled suddenly, and the sword fell to the ground.I gritted my teeth.Just ready to rush over.

The emperor was about to bite the bullet and fight desperately, Shuyao scolded coquettishly: "The emperor backs off." There were a few more lights and shadows, and the assassin fell to the ground in pain.The emperor saw clearly this time, the light and shadow flew out from Shuyao's hand.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Princess Yue yelled "Uncle Emperor" again, and Shuyao saw a black shadow flying out from behind the emperor.The man reacted quickly.Knowing that Shuyao has a hidden weapon, she dodged a shot.Changing direction in an instant, she raised Princess Yue to stand in front of her with one hand... Shuyao quickly stopped.

Yu Zhengran, who came over first, slashed at the assassin's head, and the assassin turned around to block. Shu Yao had sharp eyes and quick hands, and fired several needles in a row. Catch it, and Yu Zhengran slammed his palm straight at the assassin's face, and the assassin lost his breath immediately...

A series of life-and-death battles for several people is almost in the blink of an eye.

The imperial doctor hurried forward to examine the emperor, and the emperor yelled angrily: "Don't you have eyes? The one who is injured now is Princess Yue! Why don't you hurry up and see if the child is serious?"

Shu Jie gently placed Princess Yue on the thick wool felt laid out by the maids, and seeing that the shadow guards had already taken their positions to protect the emperor and princess, he quickly led people to search around, in case there were any remaining party members. .Jin Xida asked the assassin who was twisting in pain to be dragged down for interrogation.

For the first time in a long time, the paddock was filled with assassins.The paddock is tightly guarded, how did the assassins get in?The emperor did not ignore the shock that flashed across the second prince's face when the twisted assassin was lifted off his mask.

The emperor strictly ordered to stay overnight in the other courtyard of the paddock. Everyone who entered the paddock today is not allowed to leave. Two or three people should rest in a room and wait for instructions.

At the same time, those who return to the city to spread the word can only reveal "assassinated", and no other words can be said.

Although there is a place to rest, who can really rest in peace?It was night now, but in the entire paddock, except for Sleepy Shuwen, Xiaoguai, and Huohuo, no one else could fall asleep.

Shuyao didn't sleep because she was worried about Qi Yueling, so she stayed in the main courtyard with the fourth princess.

After a while, Qi Yueling finally opened her eyes. After a moment of confusion, just when everyone was worried about whether she had lost her mind or something, her eyes narrowed, full of fear: "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang Are you okay? The man in black, the man in black..."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her trembling little body: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the emperor's uncle is fine, and Yue'er is fine. The man in black is dead, so he can't hurt Yue'er. Yue'er is so brave. Your father is as brave as the king...the imperial doctor will come quickly and check the princess again."

The imperial doctor took Qi Yueling's pulse again, rolled his eyelids again, and said with a relaxed smile: "Don't worry, the emperor, the princess is fine. I have prepared a soothing decoction for the princess, give another injection, and you will be fine after a good night's sleep. County The bruises on the back of the Lord's neck were smeared with medicine, and they disappeared in three or four days."

The emperor still did not leave, he fed medicine to Qi Yueling himself, and then watched the imperial doctor administer the needles.

After the acupuncture, Qi Yueling calmed down slowly, and closed her eyelids under the effect of the medicine.

The emperor got up and went out after being carefully served by his mothers and maids, and several people in the room quickly followed.

In the hall, Jin Xida, Shu Jie, Wei Yuanhou and others were all waiting.

The emperor looked at Shuyao: "Girl Yao, you saved me today. I didn't expect that you, a delicate and weak girl, are so agile."

Shu Yao hurriedly knelt down, her face flushed red: "Your Majesty is the son of the real dragon, with the protection of the emperor. My little girl... my little girl can only fly needles, otherwise... I wouldn't have almost let the assassin take Yue'er away." No one dared to follow her. The emperor talked about the grace of saving lives.

Jin Xida also explained: At that time in Yulin, someone bought a murderer to try to seize Yao'er, and Taoist Wu Zhenzi taught Yao'er some light kung fu and flying needles to prevent accidents.Because Yao'er is a woman in a boudoir, and Tingwei always advocates pampering girls, the Taoist priest didn't let her practice other martial arts.It's fine if the emperor doesn't know, now that he knows and asks, he will answer truthfully.The emperor is a suspicious person, so he must not be perfunctory.

The emperor nodded, just now Shuyao really didn't look like someone who knew how to fight.However, having such a neat and precise flying needle technique is enough for self-defense.If it wasn't for Shuyao who came with him today and his courage, he might have already lost his breath at this time.He wasn't sure if he was blessed by the emperor, but Xia Linxuan's family was indeed Da Zhou's lucky stars, his lucky stars.

The emperor smiled at Shuyao: "Calm down, you are also scared today, go down and have a good rest." Although the hidden weapon is very good, after all, she is still a little girl under the age of 14 who is pampered in the inner courtyard. Scared enough.

Mother Liu came to help Shuyao get up, because hunting with the emperor could not bring too many people, only Mother Liu, Lan Jin, and Zi Jin came, and only Mother Liu could follow the main courtyard.

Shuyao backed out with the support of Mother Liu, to be honest, her feet are still weak right now.Today's scene was too thrilling. In the blink of an eye, the emperor might die, and Yue'er was almost taken as a hostage.Shuyao is very fortunate that she made up her mind to learn martial arts from her uncle in order not to drag her elder brother and adoptive father down, and she is even more fortunate that her elder brother thought of the embroidery needle as a hidden weapon that is so suitable for her.

The emperor and Shujie analyzed today's assassination incident, follow-up investigation, and defensive measures overnight.

Of the two assassins, one was hacked to death by Yu Zhengran on the spot, and the other wanted to die but had no way out. His whole body, including his tongue, was constantly wringing.Shujie gave him the antidote while giving him cartilage powder, so that he still didn't have the strength to bite his tongue or hit the wall.

This man is really a dead man, a tough guy, he can't live or die, but he still refuses to speak, he doesn't even open his eyelids.

The identity of this person has been confirmed, he was a bodyguard of the second prince, but the identity of the dead person is unknown, and it seems that there is no way to verify it at present.

However, according to You Ming's information and investigation report, this guard is just a very ordinary guard on weekdays, not serving the second prince personally.This time, it happened that one of the second prince's personal guards was temporarily ill, so he took over for a day.

Judging from all signs, the second prince had nothing to do with the assassination at this time, and it can even be basically concluded that someone wanted to blame the second prince.Because, if the evidence is only obtained from the surface, no matter whether the assassination is successful or not, the second prince cannot escape the relationship.

Everyone who came to hunt today has also been investigated and interrogated in isolation, and there is no suspicious sign.

The emperor sighed: "It seems that we can only find out here. Let's go back to Beijing tomorrow. After this incident, it is also good for us to realize that there are still dangerous forces in Beijing. Today is also my own negligence, not only Sending away the guards and letting the shadow guards leave almost killed Yue'er. Fortunately, Yue'er is fine now, otherwise I would be ashamed to see Brother Huang."

Shujie and the others hurriedly knelt down: "Don't worry, your majesty, the ministers dare not relax. You must be vigilant and strengthen your defenses." (To be continued.
