Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 352 Assassin
The man's body was completely unable to move, and he sat up as he watched in horror.The woman who slashed the dagger from his face to the main artery of his neck, her clear eyes are as cold as ice, and the cold light that shines out can freeze a person's soul.

The evil spirit permeated in the eyes made people's hearts tremble, as if an invisible dagger had pierced into a person's body.

"Did you say no?"

Shen Wanyu saw that the man's mouth was still tightly shut, but fine sweat had already appeared on his forehead.She hooked the corners of her mouth, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.

The man felt a tingling pain from his neck, watching her so determined.He knew that if he didn't say anything today, the woman in front of him would definitely not show mercy.

It's just that if he said it, he might not survive.Since it's a dead end, she might as well not talk about it.Thinking of this, the man tightly pursed his lips without saying a word.

Shen Wanyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she had already guessed what he was thinking of through the change of expression in the man's eyes.She retracted the dagger, and saw that the man was obviously relieved.

"I know what you are thinking. There are many ways to make a person die. But it seems better to make a person's life worse than death."

Shen Wanyu's voice was very soft, but it was this light voice that caught the man's ears.He felt chilly all over his body, and he didn't doubt the other party's words at all.

"If you dispose of me, aren't you afraid to startle the snake?"

The man's voice was a little trembling, but he still had the courage to speak.

Just as Shen Wanyu was about to speak, she heard the sound of the door being opened.Qiuzhu and Yushui walked in and quickly walked to Shen Wanyu's side.When they saw the man standing there, the two glanced at each other.

"Miss, it's all settled."

Yu Shui set his eyes on Shen Wanyu and spoke respectfully.

Shen Wanyu nodded, she looked at the man and smiled slightly: "Send him to Mowanlou and hand it over to Yufeng, remember that if he doesn't tell who asked him to do this, his life will be worse than death."

Yu Shui nodded, and she clapped her hands in the air.Soon two men in black appeared and took the immobile man away.

There were only three masters and servants left in the room, and Qiu Zhu's own lady pursed her lips: "Miss, what are your plans. Today's matter is probably the second prince's work."

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose as she looked out the window.

"The matter of the fourth aunt, and the matter of Linshui City. He must hate me to the bone, but it is also because of these things. During this period of time, he must not dare to act rashly."

Hearing Shen Wanyu's analysis, Qiu Zhu frowned.She said with some doubts: "Miss, if it wasn't the second prince, who would it be?"

Shen Wanyu got off the bed, went to the table and sat down.Fingers tapped lightly on the table to make a thumping sound, which was especially clear in the silent room.

"Don't forget, the emperor is more than the prince and the second prince's two sons."

Qiu Zhu's eyes widened suddenly, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Miss, do you mean the third prince?"

Indeed, the third prince Chu Jiayou has been silent for a long time in the past two years.Everyone must forget the prince who loved to express himself very much.

"As long as the prince does not make a big mistake, the emperor will not abolish the prince. Besides, the emperor loves the prince so much. As long as he does his duty, the throne will definitely be passed on to him. The second prince will not act rashly again, so now only three are left. The prince is very suspicious."

Shen Wanyu almost forgot about the third prince Chu Jiayou, if she hadn't noticed it today.When the little palace maid brought her and Qiuzhu to open again.Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at the third prince, and the two exchanged eye contact.If she hadn't been observing the little maid, she wouldn't have discovered this.

"But, the third prince doesn't seem to have any grudges with the lady."

"The Marquis of Beining and Prince Han's Mansion are married, which means that there is a huge power behind the prince. You said that the second prince and the third prince will sit idly by?"

Yu Shui glanced at his young lady, saw her nodding, and then opened her mouth to wake Qiuzhu up for her.

Qiuzhu opened his mouth and widened his eyes.How could she have forgotten this point, if there is Prince Han's Mansion behind the prince.The second prince and the third prince will no longer have the chance to compete for that position.

"So that's the case, Qiuzhu didn't think so much."

Shen Wanyu stood up and straightened her skirt.She glanced at the wet area at the cuff, and her eyes froze.

"You go and tell the emperor that I'm not feeling well and I'm going back to the Hou Mansion first."

Anyway, just now in the hall, many people saw that she was not feeling well.Now I just use this excuse to leave first.Otherwise, the cuffs will dry out after a while, and it will be difficult to analyze what kind of poison is inside.

Qiuzu nodded, turned and left the room.Yu Shui supported Shen Wanyu and then left the room, walking towards the palace gate.

After returning to Beining Hou Mansion, Shen Wanyu immediately went back to her room, changed her clothes and went to the pharmacy.What surprised her was that what was in the wine was not poison, but the same as hers, which was Mongolian sweat medicine.

She was a little surprised, why this man poured sweat medicine on the emperor.Just when Shen Wanyu was thinking about the solution, she heard a knock on the door.

"It's not good, miss, something happened."

Shen Wanyu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly put down the things in her hands.Opening the door of the alchemy room, he saw Qiuzhu's anxious face.

"what happened?"

"The emperor was assassinated. It was very serious. The ministers who attended the banquet today were all locked up in the palace. The imperial guards are now chasing the assassin, and this matter is also under investigation."

Qiuzhu panted heavily, and spoke anxiously.It was fine when I just came back, how could such a thing happen suddenly.

Shen Wanyu clenched her hands slightly, she felt that the third prince was not so stupid.Will make a move on such an occasion, then there must be something wrong.Or, there is a black hand that she doesn't know is pushing it.

"How is the emperor now? What about the people from the other three kingdoms?"

Shen Wanyu asked as she walked towards her room, it seemed that she still had to go to the palace.

"The empress dowagers from the other three countries were taken to the palace prepared for them to rest, and the rest of the ministers were detained in the palace. All the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital were called to the emperor's bedroom, and the emperor is still unconscious. "

Qiuzhu spoke quickly, she also saw it from the news from the guards beside Prince Han.Only then did I rush over in a hurry and tell the lady.

"It seems that we have to go to the palace. Do you know how the emperor was assassinated, and where the emperor was injured?"

Shen Wanyu picked out a set of light blue floral dress from the cabinet to change into, and removed all the beaded flower hairpins from her head.Only a simple green jade Liuhua bead hairpin is left, which is simple and elegant yet elegant.

After everything was packed, she put the Bingpo silver needle into her arms.He went to the pharmacy to find some pills and put them in a box, and hurriedly brought Yushui and Qiuzhu to Beining Hou Mansion.

Qiuzhu sat beside Shen Wanyu in the carriage, and told Shen Wanyu the news he had received from Prince Han's son.

"It seems to be a dancer who is dancing. She said that there is a new dance. The emperor saw that several other His Majesties were interested, so he let the dancer go down to prepare. I just didn't expect it to be a sword dance. It was normal at first. Listen Said that the emperor and the three majesties liked it very much. When everyone was not paying attention, the dancer quickly shot the long sword in her hand at the emperor. The dancer seemed to have a good skill. Under the siege of a group of guards, unexpectedly And let her escape."

Listening to Qiuzhu's words, Shen Wanyu frowned tightly.She always felt that something was not quite right about it, this banquet was to welcome people from the other three kingdoms, the emperor would definitely make perfect preparations, how could it be so easy for the assassin to succeed.

Especially the evildoer is sitting next to the emperor, with his martial arts.She doesn't believe that the assassin can hurt the emperor, unless...
Shen Wanyu seemed to have caught something, a light flashed in her eyes.There is a bit of understanding in my heart, but it doesn't show on the surface.His brows were still furrowed tightly.

"Do you know that the dancer is from the Royal Dance Company?"

"No, the prince found someone from the dance troupe later. I just found out that there has never been a dancer who can dance with swords. So it is certain that the dancer is not from the Royal Dance Troupe. Then the prince found a dancer in the changing room of the dance troupe. The dancer was tied up with a handkerchief in her mouth. Only then did I know that the assassin should have knocked the dancer unconscious and replaced her."

Qiuzhu thought for a while and said, but she was also a little strange.If no one brought the assassin in, how could she beat the dancing girl unconscious and replace him.

"I see."

Shen Wanyu let out a breath, things are getting more and more chaotic now.There were more and more people involved, and she frowned a little annoyed.

Soon the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, when the guards guarding the gate saw that it was Shen Wanyu.Only then did he let the palace door open and let them in.

Shen Wanyu took Qiu Zhu and Yu Shui straight to the emperor's bedroom, at this time the emperor's bedroom was full of people.She didn't ask the eunuch to report, and saw the queen mother and queen looking worriedly at the warm pavilion.

She stepped forward quickly and saluted the two of them.The queen mother and queen were surprised when they saw Shen Wanyu, and then the queen mother spoke.

"Why did you enter the palace again? Aren't you feeling unwell?"

"I heard that there were assassins in the palace, and the emperor was seriously injured. I was really worried, so I entered the palace again. How is the emperor now?"

Shen Wanyu's face was full of worry, she held the Queen Mother's hand and asked anxiously.

Her eyes swept around the people in the room, but she didn't see the evildoer, the prince and others.

"The imperial physicians are all inside, and I don't know what's going on. Mo Han and the prince are all going after the assassin. Why did so many things happen today?"
