Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 35 The minister is here to find His Majesty

Liangzhou, Prince Xian's Mansion.

Several waves of assassins ambushed outside the palace of the virtuous king, but the luxurious and tall palace was completely silent.

"Xian'er, do you think they will really come tonight? Is the news that person gave you accurate?" A soft and weak voice sounded in the side hall of the palace. Drinking from a luminous cup, his pale face showed his years of illness, but his long and narrow eyes shone with the ferocity and murderous intent of a lone wolf on the grassland.

"Don't worry, he still doesn't want me to die." Putting down the cup, Ta Baxian looked at the hourglass beside him, and sneered, "The fish is about to take the bait."

At the north gate of the palace, the maidservant who was knocked out has come to her senses. She rubbed her face and immediately said in a high voice, "Come here, there are assassins, there are assassins!"

The killer leader who was ambushing outside sank, and immediately waved, "Do it!"

The sound of rustling footsteps was particularly urgent in King Xian's mansion, because of the maidservant's voice, not long after, the fire in King Xian's mansion was dazzling, and among the chaotic footsteps, Liu Qing, the chief guard of the king's mansion, had already rushed to Ta Ba Xian's place with his people. Sleeping hall.

"My lord, my lord? There are assassins, I don't know you—" Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw dozens of men in black standing in front of them.

Liu Qing seemed to have guessed this scene long ago, and said coldly: "Shoot the arrow!"

As soon as the words fell, the crossbowmen lying in ambush on the roof directly opened their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows fell like rain, and went straight to the man in black outside the hall.

The man in black who took the lead was a little surprised. It seemed that they were already prepared. Who leaked the secret?
Before he had time to think about it, he separated the flying arrows with his sword and shouted loudly, "Retreat!"

The people in black also knew they were in an ambush, and they were about to retreat one after another, but how could Liu Qing let them leave so easily? More than 100 people rushed out from behind to block the way of the people in black, and he also stopped with arrows After that, he stepped forward and fought with the leader of the man in black.

"Hmph, there's no way to capture me alive." The man in black resorted to the strategy of killing them all. Seeing that many men in black were about to be surrounded to death by the wheel battle, only a few people with strong martial arts were still fighting, or Leave, or die, they naturally will not give up this only way of life.

No one noticed that in the side hall of King Xian's Mansion, a man with light kung fu lit a spark in the corner that was about to burn King Xian's mansion.

"on fire."

"Put out the fire, put out the fire."

The anxious and frightened voices of the guards and maidservants sounded in the palace. Ta Baxian and Concubine Li in the side hall naturally knew that the fire was on fire. Ta Baxian finally showed a hint of expression, and said to the people around him: "Protect Mrs. Concubine go out."

"My lord, what about you?" said the guard.

"Don't worry, come on."

"Xian'er, those assassins must have set this fire on purpose. Let's go out together. There are guards outside, so don't worry." Li Fei pulled Ta Baxian with an anxious expression.

"Mother Concubine, you go first, I still have something to do." Ta Baxian pushed away Concubine Li's hand, and gave the guard a look. Seeing this, the guard knew that the prince had his own way out, so he protected Li The concubine left.

"Xian'er, Xian'er—" Concubine Li was dragged by the guards, and could only watch Ta Baxian's figure disappear from her eyes.

The man in black guarding outside the side hall saw that Concubine Li was being protected, and his expression froze. He stabbed Concubine Li's throat with a sword. The guard sensed the murderous aura and immediately pulled out his sword, only to see a black shadow flash by. , his eyes were wide open, and there was a thin sword mark on his throat.

"Ah—" Li Fei screamed, but the fierce flames had already engulfed her figure, a flash of sword light flashed, and her body fell straight into the sea of ​​flames behind her, eyes full of shock, puzzlement, and fear !
After finishing those men in black, Liu Qing who came in a hurry just happened to see the scene where Concubine Li was killed and her body was thrown into the sea of ​​flames, but the man in black who did it had long since disappeared.

He suddenly turned around, slammed open the door on the other side and rushed in. In that instant, those who rushed to fight the fire outside saw a raging fire engulfing him, and several maidservants screamed and panicked. Backed away in a hurry, only Liu Qing rushed in regardless.

"This guard is also a loyal person." The shadow in the dark thoughtfully glanced at the people around him, "Let's go."

The fire is getting bigger and bigger, not only the curtains and curtains have been ignited, but even the entire side hall made of high-quality wood has been completely burned to the ground. No one made any movement, and Liu Qing who went in did not come out again.

The firefighting guards outside had no idea why the fire suddenly became so fierce. The prince had already calculated everything. This side hall is the safest place. How could there be assassins?

If the fire had no oil, how could it burn so fast?
But if there is oil, why didn't they find it?

Before the fire was completely extinguished, Liu Yu, another close bodyguard of Tarbaxian, ran in regardless of his hot feet, and went straight to the inside of the unrecognizable side hall. Behind him were a few faithfully following in. is a hole.

"My lord is fine." Liu Yu pretended to relax with a flash in his eyes.

In the imperial capital, Jingrui Hall, the shadow did not go away, and Ta Barui was wearing a coat, standing behind the screen, "Lu Yi, change clothes, I have something urgent to see the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager Shengde never expected that King Ning's actions would be so fast, and what she even couldn't have imagined was that Taba Rui's news would be so effective?

At dawn, Taba Rui had already sat firmly in Qianxiang Palace.

"Queen, I just got the news that the sixth younger brother was assassinated, most of the entire Xianwang mansion was burned down, and Concubine Li—" Seeing that Empress Dowager Shengde's expression was not very good, Tarba Rui probably didn't expect that he would come disturb her sweet dreams.

"How does the emperor know?" The Empress Dowager Shengde looked at Tabarui in surprise, her eyes were a little sharp.

"Of course the sixth brother sent someone to tell me. Since Concubine Li has gone, the mistakes she made will no longer affect the sixth brother. I want to bring the sixth brother back quickly. He is alone Alone in Liangzhou, there is no way to guard against treacherous plots, and I will feel more at ease if I take them back to the imperial capital."

The Empress Dowager Shengde pondered for a moment, "That's fine, Concubine Li has passed away, he is alone now, and Aijia is not at ease."

"Then please make an order from the Empress Dowager to welcome the sixth younger brother back today." Taba Rui stood up and said with a slight bend.

Empress Dowager Shengde's eyes flickered slightly, she nodded and said: "Okay, it's time to go to court, and Ai's family is also preparing. The emperor will go back to rest first, and leave this matter to Ai's family."

Sending Taba Rui away, Xiao Lingzi whispered in her ear as soon as he came back: "Queen Mother, it was Nantong who planted an eyeliner in the Xianwang Mansion, so if something happened there, a letter from Feige would be sent here."

"It's Nantong again!" The Empress Dowager Shengde slapped the table and said angrily: "This old fox has repeatedly opposed the Ai family in the court, and now it has ruined the good things of the Ai family. Huh, the Ai family doesn't believe it, no After losing his daughter, this old fox dares to be so arrogant!"

"Queen, are you going to—"

The Empress Dowager Shengde gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, "Immediately ask someone to find out why the assassination failed last night, and tell Prince Ning that as long as he gets rid of that little bitch Concubine Shu for Ai's family, Ai's family will get rid of that bitch." The family agreed to his terms!"

"Queen Mother, are you going to abandon the Fourth Highness?" Xiao Lingzi was shocked, without the Fourth Highness, their plan would be aborted.

"Didn't he want Aijia to hand over Tarbayou? So what if Aijia gave it to him?" Empress Dowager Shengde's red phoenix eyes hide the most vicious hatred and murderous intent of a woman. I don't know what to do.

Xiao Lingzi understood, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "I'll do it now, slave!"

As soon as he walked out of the gloomy Qianxiang Palace, Taba Rui's mood turned from cloudy to sunny, and he felt pleasing to the eye when looking at everything, including the person in front of him——Huangfu Yao!

"Why did he appear here?" Tarba Rui frowned slightly, but because he was in a good mood, he stopped, crossed his hands, raised his eyebrows, and waited for the fox to make a move.

Gently flicking the falling flowers on his shoulders, his handsome and charming face showed no emotion at all. A pure white pear blossom fell on his fingertips. Under the pear blossom tree, there was a young man in white with a lazy and relaxed expression, as innocent as a beautiful jade. The flawed profile made Ta Ba Rui, Zhang Run and others not far away lose their minds.

He tilted his head slightly, as if surprised, "Your Majesty?"

Pack!
Just pretend!
Tartari gritted his teeth, knowing that he was approaching, but still showing such a startled expression, hypocrisy!

"Dingguo Gong is so early, I wonder if there is something urgent to discuss with the Queen Mother?" Ta Ba Rui suppressed the contempt in his heart, and said lightly.

He smoothed the folds on his robe, walked a few steps in the direction of Taba Rui, stopped, looked at Taba Rui with a half-smile, "No, I'm here to look for Your Majesty."
