Chapter 65 Assassination

At this moment, all the Jinwu guards outside the hall rushed in, lit candles, and the dim inner room was brightly lit.

An unknown maid in pink was lying on the ground, with blood gurgling from her forehead.The other maid in black was unexpectedly Mengyao, the maid in charge of Wang Meiren's palace. She was also lying on the bedside, not knowing whether she was dead or alive. Wang Meiren was so frightened that she threw herself into Li Longji's arms, crying.

The rope that could kill him was still hanging around Li Longji's neck, and there was a bloodstain on his skin, and he stared coldly at the people who came to rescue him in the pavilion.

All the guards trembled under his majestic gaze, they all knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being too late to save you!"

After a while, the queen was shocked to hear the news of Li Longji's assassination. She hurried over with Chang Xi in disheveled clothes. 'Corpse' was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a while.

Li Longji didn't put on his clothes either, but just looked around at the crowd indifferently, everyone was so scared by him, even the empress who was supposed to speak shrank aside and didn't dare to say anything, Concubine Li, Concubine Hua and others were even more silent.

Gao Lishi, who was dreaming in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also rushed over in panic when he heard the news. Seeing the mess in the room, Li Longji was shirtless and didn't speak, but just looked at him coldly. The victim had been subdued, so he boldly ordered the guards to go out and not enter without summons.

All the guards wanted to get out quickly, if this continued, if Li Longji got angry and punished himself for his ineffective escort, it would be enough for everyone to drink a pot!

Seeing that the deadly rope was still hanging around Li Longji's neck, Gao Lishi hurriedly fetched scissors, walked up to Li Longji, cut off the thin rope around his neck, held it respectfully, and presented it to Li Longji. longi.

Li Longji pushed away Wang Meiren, got up and walked in front of the concubines, grabbed the string, threw it at them, and said angrily: "You have done a good job!"

"The concubine dare not." There was a crowd of people kneeling in the room.

"Don't dare?!" The corner of Li Longji's mouth twitched, obviously extremely excited, and two lines of hot tears followed on his face.

"Your Majesty—" Queen Wang, Concubine Li and the others had never seen the emperor cry, so they couldn't help but froze there.

"Let's plot against each other! I know that in your eyes, fighting for favor is far more important than my life!!" Li Longji put away his precious tears, and angrily shouted at the six concubines, his voice swept every corner of the inner room.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Gao Lishi was so frightened that he picked up the clothes hanging on the rack, put them on for Li Longji, and kept comforting him: "Your Majesty, you..." He didn't know how to take the words, and wanted to serve Li Longji by himself For decades, today's events and today's state have never happened before, and thinking of Li Longji's loneliness and pain as a king, he even choked up a little.

"Look! Look at you!" Li Longji pointed at the concubines, and said sadly: "You know how to fight! In vain, I have favored you so much, you are not even as good as a Lishi and a palace slave! Get out! Get out of here !"

The queen heard that Li Longji even scolded her, and said boldly: "Your Majesty, how do you know that it was the hands of the concubines in the harem before investigation? You know, although there are small conflicts among the sisters, they all love you! "

"Get out!" Li Longji said coldly, too lazy to look at them again.

The queen wanted to say something more, but Chang Xi grabbed her sleeve tightly and signaled her not to contradict Li Longji at this time.

The queen had no choice but to bite her lip, and quietly retreated out with Concubine Hua and the others who were ashen-faced in fright.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Li, who was about to go out, looked back and smiled, with deep affection in her eyes, she hesitated to speak.

"Go!" Li Longji sighed, as if he wanted to relieve his depression with a sigh.

Concubine Li squatted halfway to accept a blessing, and walked out of the palace door step by step.

"Prison the two important criminals on the ground separately! Then send all the servants on duty in this palace to the inner prison, especially the two servants who are in charge of the night watch in the palace tonight. They must be guarded carefully. Tomorrow I will be diligent Lou personally interrogated!" Li Longji ordered calmly.

After finishing speaking, he pointed angrily at Wang Meiren who was sobbing on the bed, and said, "Prison her too!"

Wang Meiren turned pale with shock, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty—this matter has nothing to do with my concubine! I beg Your Majesty to investigate!"

Li Longji snorted coldly: "You have deliberately invited me tonight, and even the servants who kept watch at night in the bedroom were dismissed, and the one who assassinated me was the maid in charge of your palace. How can I say that this matter has nothing to do with you?" Believe it? But don't worry, if it really has nothing to do with you, I will definitely return your innocence!" After speaking, no matter how clever Wang Meiren was, she still watched her being dragged down by the Jinwu Guard.

"I won't be soft-hearted in the future!" Li Longji closed his eyes slightly and warned himself softly.

"Sanlang" whispered into his ears, Li Longji opened his eyes, and looked at Huangfu Deyi holding the door frame, her belly protruding from months, making her skinny and weak even more.

"It's still drizzling outside! What are you doing here!" Li Longji hurriedly put his coat on her body.Maybe it was because she was in a hurry, seeing her jet-black hair stained with tiny drops of water, her distressed appearance was even more endearing.

Feng Lu touched Li Longji's face with his hands, and said anxiously: "I heard that Sanlang was in danger, but he was not hurt anywhere!"

Li Longji quickly grabbed her hand, and said softly: "It doesn't matter! The assassins have already been taken down! The road is slippery in the middle of the night, you took such a risk to come here, what if you hurt yourself!" The lady in the palace said: "How do you serve Deyi! She came here in such a heavy rain, don't you know how to dissuade her!"

The maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and dared not speak.

Feng Lu said: "Don't blame them, knowing that Sanlang is in danger, how can Lu'er stay in Hanqing Hall!" As she said, she held Li Longji's hand worriedly, and asked again.

Seeing that she valued him so much, Li Longji was very pleased and said, "I will accompany you back!"

Feng Lu nodded, smiled and hid in Li Longji's arms, and was gently carried into the incense car by him, the wheels were rolling, and headed towards Hanqing Palace.

The front foot of the incense car left, and Mei'er just arrived at the gate of the palace in the sedan chair on the back foot. Ning Wei lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and helped Mei'er down. A Jinwu guard came to ask her face, and Ning Wei said: "Your Majesty is still in the palace of Wang Meiren ?”

The Jin Wuwei said: "Your Majesty has already gone!" As he spoke, he pouted towards another corridor.

Standing in the rain, Meier saw Li Longji's imperial chariot leave, feeling very depressed, and secretly scolded herself for being incompetent, for not being able to get the news earlier!

The palace maid Ning Wei saw her displeasure, and comforted her: "The rainy night is cold, Xianyi, let's go back!"

Mei'er was about to cry, and said: "Cousin didn't see me to see him, do you blame me?"

Ning Wei said: "Your Majesty knows that Xianyi is pregnant, and will not blame you!"

Mei'er looked at the Xiangche that was going further and further away, and said anxiously: "Let's chase after it!"

Ning Wei said hesitantly: "It looks like this incense car is going to Hanqing Hall, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for us to go so recklessly."

Mei'er sighed and said, "I've lost the wind again, let Fenglu take advantage!"

Ning Wei said: "Let her take advantage of this for now! Let's go back! Don't hurt the dragon fetus in your stomach!"

Helplessly, Mei'er returned to Wenchun Palace with the help of everyone.
