Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 711 The Princess Marries Far Away 6
Hearing that they were only slightly injured, Wei Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, but still secretly grasped Xiao Jingyao's hand.

Sure enough, as she expected, someone took advantage of the lantern viewing tonight on the [-]th day to plot against Princess Yong'an and the envoy Gao Yang of the Northern Wei Dynasty!
Xiao Jingyao held her palm reassuringly, nodded and said, "Where did they meet the assassin, did the assassin catch it?"

"I heard that they ran away... Her Royal Highness has returned to the palace now, and the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty have also returned to the residence. The emperor was very angry when he heard the news of their assassination, so he added some guards to the residence and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to catch the assassin! "

"I'm afraid that this assassination was planned by someone long ago..." Xiao Jingyao said thoughtfully, and ordered the old housekeeper to step back first.

When only he and Wei Zijin were left in the study, Wei Zijin said, "They went to the street, and there were so many guards following them, how did the assassin succeed?"

"It is likely that there were too many people at night, and the guards were dispersed with them..."

Wei Zijin nodded, this is not impossible, but let alone whether the assassin was well deployed and chose to assassinate tonight, how did he know that the princess and the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty would visit the lantern show tonight?

When Wei Zijin uttered this question, Xiao Jingyao thought for a moment, then said with a sneer, "So, the one who arranged the assassination is most likely someone close to Xiao Yurao or the Northern Wei envoy Gao Yang!"

Wei Zijin was startled suddenly, not to mention why the people around Xiao Yurao wanted to harm her, if they were really the people around Gao Yang, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, wouldn't Gao Yang who returned to the mansion be still in danger? !

If this is the case, no matter how many guards Xiao Hengjia sent to the hotel, Gao Yang might still be assassinated!And if the news of the assassination and death of the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the imperial capital spread, Dayin and the Northern Wei Dynasty would inevitably have to fight!
"Maybe at this time, we should go to the hotel and meet Gao Yang in person!" Wei Zijin couldn't hide his anxiety.

Xiao Jingyao patted the back of her hand to comfort her, and said in a deep voice, "It's not too late, I'll go into the palace, don't worry, just stay at the mansion and wait for my news!"

"Where is Gao Yang..." Wei Zijin was still worried that Gao Yang would encounter an assassin again, Xiao Jingyao said again: "Don't worry, I will order my shadow guards to secretly protect Gao Yang!"

After Xiao Jingyao finished speaking, he wanted to change into his official uniform and enter the palace. After Wei Zijin changed his clothes and sent him to the sedan chair, he still couldn't calm down. He paced back and forth in the hall, thought for a while, and then called his guard, Kong Wu.

"Kong Wu, go to the Huixian Tower and send a message to Ye Zhiqiu for me, asking him how the strange Northern Wei man did his investigation!"

Kong Wu nodded and immediately took the order to leave.

Qiaoxiang also heard about the assassination of the princess and the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty from the housekeeper of the palace. Seeing that the princess was very anxious, she poured a cup of hot tea for her: "Princess, don't worry. Your highness will be safe and sound when she returns to the palace. The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty There are also heavily guarded ministers, so nothing will happen..."

Wei Zijin shook his head, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and sighed, "Princess may be safe, but the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty is not sure, just in case..."

In case there was a traitor among the group in the Northern Wei Dynasty who wanted to kill Gao Yang, the Northern Wei Dynasty would still place the blame on Dayin!
When Wei Zijin said this, a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Although it was Princess Yong'an Xiao Yuluo and Northern Wei envoy Gao Yang who were assassinated together, the assassin's target might not be the princess!
