The emperor is reborn, the cute queen is upgraded

Chapter 39

Just when everyone fell asleep with happiness in their hearts and longing for all kinds of prosperity after entering Beijing, there were several sneaky figures lurking in the darkness.

"Ah! There are assassins!" The woman's terrified scream broke the silence of the night!

Two black shadows ejected out of a guest room one after another, fell from the second floor onto the ground where the rain still accumulated, their bodies twitched twice and then became silent!
Si Luoyun with loose black hair and outer clothes stood beside the bed, panic and fear still hung on her face!The knuckles of the fingers tightly clutching the skirt protrude!
She stared wide-eyed at the back of the majestic man holding a Mo knife at the door!

Si Luoyun was already going to bed, but she was delayed because of a trivial matter, so she wouldn't be too embarrassed when she was attacked!
When the man in black suddenly jumped down from the roof and slashed at him with a knife, Qiu Ying, who was holding a basin of water, screamed, and poured a basin of water for washing her feet at the assassin!Immediately after the door was knocked open, the man with the Mo Dao rushed in and kicked the assassin out with a few moves!
All of this was just a matter of lightning and flint, and Si Luoyun didn't see it clearly in panic!
"Your Majesty!" Qiu Ying stood in front of Si Luoyun, looking warily at the man at the door.

Although he rescued them just now, who knows why!
The man at the door heard the movement in the house and slowly turned around halfway.

Seeing the man's face clearly through the lights inside the house and the moonlight outside, both Si Luoyun and Qiu Ying were startled!
Half of the silver mask that undulates with the man's face covers the upper half of his face, only revealing his tightly pursed thin lips.

The black eyes behind the mask fell over Qiuying and fell on Si Luoyun, who had not applied any makeup and had a slightly pale face... The man nodded slightly as a salute, then turned around and stood at the door again with a horizontal knife.

The sound of fighting outside kept up and down, and occasionally a figure rushed over and wanted to rush into the house, but the man turned the Mo Dao in his hand to solve it!

Suddenly, a man in black jumped in from the hole in the roof where the tiles had been moved by the assassin!

"Ah!" Qiuying screamed again, grabbing the oil lamp on the table...

The warm liquid splashed up and splashed on Qiuying's face and body, even a few drops were splashed on the face of Si Luoyun behind her.

The assassin froze for a moment while holding the knife high, before his legs gave way and he fell to the side!
The masked man pulled out the Mo Dao that pierced the left chest of the man in black, his movements were smooth and calm.

There was a sound of running on the stairs, and the guard who was stopped downstairs by the assassin ran up.

"Qiu Ying, change clothes!" Si Luoyun said to the maid.

The masked man turned around and strode back to the door to stop the guards who were about to rush in.

The upper room of Siyang Inn is relatively spacious, but it can only be separated by a screen to create a small dressing room.

After Si Luoyun put on her dress, Qiuying simply pulled up her hair and came out.

General He, He Baoquan, Zhang Caisheng and the masked man were all standing at the door, and bowed at the same time when they saw Si Luoyun coming out.

"General He, how about the casualties?" Si Luoyun had no fear at all and regained her composure.

"The Crown Princess, except for Cai Ji and her maids and Zhen Ji's maids who were assassinated and killed, the other nobles were just frightened." General He said, "I have asked all the nobles to stay in the guest room and not to come out, so as not to There are assassins who slip through the net and kill people."

Cai Ji died?Si Luoyun's face changed slightly.

General He thought for a while and then said: "I heard that Cai Ji's guest room was originally assigned to Zhen Ji, but you changed it with the Crown Princess' permission."

If it hadn't been for the house change, the pregnant Zhen Ji might have died right now!
"The assassins probably wanted to assassinate Zhen Ji, but killed Cai Ji's master and servant by mistake." General He analyzed, "But for some reason, they knew that they had killed the wrong person, and went straight to Zhen Ji's guest room in the confusion, and took Zhen Ji After the palace maid beheaded..."

"Help! Help the princess!"

The woman's frightened and weak shouts came from the corridor, which shocked everyone again, thinking that there were assassins!

Zhen Ji with disheveled hair and crooked dress, the nanny who was sent by Zhen's family to take care of her came towards Si Luoyun's guest room half-supported and half-stretched!Zhen Ji was followed by Lu Liangren and Mr. Zhang.

Arriving at the door of the guest room where Si Luoyun lived, Zhen Ji burst into tears as soon as she entered the room, regardless of the presence of the outsider!
"The concubine, please be the master of the concubine! If the concubine and Cai Ji hadn't changed houses, at this time...someone would kill the concubine! Kill the prince's child!" Zhen Ji cried out hoarsely.

What Zhen Ji said is not far from the truth of the assassin's night attack, but her appearance is really hard to agree with!
Si Luoyun suppressed her anger at Zhen Ji's move, asked General He to strengthen the guards, and tried her best to find out where the assassin came from, before letting General He leave first.

The man in the silver mask hesitated for a moment, then followed General He to leave.

Si Luoyun took a second look at the masked man's back, and had the illusion of deja vu.

But the current situation does not allow her to reveal the true face of the masked man, and she has to appease all the concubines.

"Eunuch He, Zhang Caisheng, go and check the other people's rooms to see if there is anything wrong with it!" Si Luoyun ordered to the two servants.

He Baoquan and Zhang Caisheng led away, and Si Luoyun turned to look at Lu She Weng Mr. Zhang, a smile appeared on his tense face.

"Why is Mr. Zhang here?" Seeing Mr. Zhang following behind Zhen Ji, could it be that he saved Zhen Ji?

This Lu Sheweng is really not an ordinary expert!

Mr. Zhang smiled back, "Before the prince left, he not only ordered the grass people to help the princess to conceal the whereabouts of His Highness, but also ordered the grass people to secretly escort all the nobles to Beijing. I thought His Highness was too worried, but I didn't expect... Ha ha."

It turned out to be Dugu Ye's arrangement!Si Luoyun was a little surprised at his foresight!
"Then...the man wearing the mask just now didn't appear in General He's guard before, could it be that he belongs to Mr.?" Si Luoyun couldn't help asking when thinking of the masked man.

Mr. Zhang nodded, "He is a nephew of Caomin. He happened to pass by Chendi half a month ago, so he came to visit Caomin. His parents are both from the capital. When they learned that Caomin wanted to escort the princess and other nobles to Beijing, they went with him. Yes. Tonight he just acted out of righteousness."

I see……

"Then please sir thank him on behalf of me." Si Luoyun said politely.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Mr. Zhang responded with a smile, not at all like someone who has just experienced a life-and-death struggle.

Zhen Ji, who was forgotten by the side, was a little unwilling. She cried for a long time and no one paid any attention to her, so she raised her voice and cried even more sadly and angrily!
"Please ask the princess to be the master of my concubine!"

Si Luoyun was stung by Zhen Ji's crying, she couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Master? What kind of master? The assassin is dead, if you don't understand your hatred, you can chop and stab them a few more times!" "

This is the first time that Si Luoyun got angry in front of concubines!It was when she was bullied by others when she was a beauty, and when she got angry, she ran to Dugu Ye and asked for an errand to go back angrily!

Zhen Ji was startled by the yelling and stopped crying.

Si Luoyun's gaze turned to Lu Liangren standing beside Zhen Ji, feeling a little strange.

Didn't General He say to let other concubines stay in the house?Why did Lu Liangren escape?I am not small in courage.

"Lu Liang, why are you here?"

Hearing Si Luoyun's question, Lu Liangren hurriedly said: "Reporting to the princess, my concubine lives in the room next to Zhen Ji, and when I heard the voice of an assassin... I thought of protecting the pregnant Zhen Ji, so I came here ..."

"Reporting to the Crown Princess, Lu E, the maid in Lu Liangren's room, has died!" Zhang Caisheng hurried to the door of Si Luoyun's room to report.

Shangjing, Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace.

"His Royal Highness." The servant guarding the entrance of Taiji Hall bowed to Dugu Ye who came in.

"Did the imperial physician ask for the pulse of the emperor today?" Dugu Ye asked the servant.

"Going back to His Royal Highness, Imperial Physicians Lu, Xing, and Wu have all come here, and they are still in the palace now." The servant replied.

Dugu Ye wanted to ask a few more questions, but an inner servant in dark clothes came out to greet him.

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty invites you to enter."

Duguye nodded, and followed the servant into the inner hall of Taiji Hall.

In the inner hall, Emperor Duguyan was lying on the dragon bed, Empress Xu was sitting aside, and three imperial physicians were standing in the hall with their heads bowed.

After paying respects to the emperor and empress, Duguye asked the three imperial physicians about the emperor's condition, and then stood respectfully in front of the bed.

Empress Xu looked at the handsome Dugu Ye, with many emotions mixed in her heart!The most is unwillingness and resentment!
The former prince, her only son, was not physically strong since he was a child, but because he was born on the same day, the position of prince must belong to him!
Looking at the sick emperor again, Empress Xu even thought viciously: Why didn't this man die earlier?In this way, his son can ascend to the throne while he is alive!Even if he dies at this time, the throne will be passed on to his grandson!Not Chen Wang, who was born to the Liu family!

These resentments can only be deeply hidden in the bottom of my heart, Empress Xu still looks like a kind elder on the surface.

"I heard that your concubine was attacked by thieves on the road. I don't know if everything is safe? That concubine who is pregnant with an heir should not be pregnant. After all, this is your first child." Empress Xu "Caring" and "speaking earnestly".

There was a flash report last night: The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's concubines were attacked in Siyang Town!A concubine and three court ladies died!
Empress Xu only heard a general idea from her eyes and ears in Feng Palace, but she still doesn't know the details!Which concubine died?Is it the pregnant one?
It would take five or six days to travel from Siyang Town to Shangjing without sleep or rest, so the Express News is old news!

Dugu Ye lowered his eyes, bowed his hands and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. General He, who was in charge of the escort, deployed effectively and wiped out the assassins. As for the concubine of the minister... it was just a song presented by a subject who died. It’s just Ji and the three palace maids, and we can provide pensions to their families in the future.”

"Oh..." Empress Xu responded, her sleeve clenched into a fist. "That's good, that's good."

Seeing that the "mother and son" had finished exchanging greetings, the emperor who was lying on the bed waved everyone except Dugu Ye to leave.

Before leaving, Empress Xu glanced back at the father and son in the inner hall, her eyes gleamed with hatred!
When only the emperor and Duguye were left in the hall, the previously stiff atmosphere did not resolve in the slightest.
