Chapter 110

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the people on the high platform sank.

The queen's pupils trembled suddenly, she looked at the horse that was running closer and closer in disbelief, and stared at the injured man on the horse, her hands trembled violently.

Song Qinghuan was also taken aback.

Song Yan was injured?And from the looks of it, he was seriously injured!
When she was surprised, the queen said in a stern tone, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go to the imperial physician?!"

The maid behind her should be flustered, she hastily invited the imperial physician.

The queen got up suddenly, but she lost her footsteps, her body was crooked before she could stand firmly, and the maid Xiu Xia who was serving at the side hurriedly helped her up.But she opened Xiu Xia's hand and stumbled down the high platform.

The emperor was also startled and horrified, looking at Zhong Huai behind him, "Quickly, go and see what's going on!" As he spoke, he also got up and stood up.

Song Qinghuan reached out to support him and helped him down the higher steps.

At this time, the fast horses had already arrived under the high platform, and a servant moved two couches and joined them together. The prince was carefully removed from the horses and placed on the couches.

The queen looked at Song Yan who was lying there lifeless, her breath was stuck in her chest, unable to get up or down.His lips twitched a few times, and finally he wailed and rushed forward.

"My Yan'er!"

At this time, where does she still have the dignified and noble appearance in the past?

Song Qinghuan's eyes darkened, looking at Song Yan who was on the couch.

He was hit by an arrow in the back, the arrow sank into the flesh and blood flowed out.There was a barb on the arrowhead, and the accompanying people didn't dare to pull it out rashly, so they could only wrap it hastily with cloth, but they couldn't stop the blood flowing out, dyeing the entire back of the clothes red, which looked shocking.

The concubines who had been sitting on the high platform came down one after another, looking at it neither far nor near, all with frightened eyes.

At this time, the voice of a court lady came from far and near, "The imperial doctor is here! The imperial doctor is here! Get out of the way!"

Everyone made way.

Only the queen lay beside Song Yan, distraught.

Seeing this, Song Qingyi raised the queen up with red eyes, and comforted her in a low voice, "Queen mother, the imperial physician is here. Don't worry, Yan'er will be fine with the imperial physician here."

Only then did the queen stand up tremblingly with her support, her eyes were terribly gloomy.

"Quick! Treat the prince quickly! If you can't save me, I'm the only one asking!" Emperor Yu roared at the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor responded tremblingly, took the medicine box and went forward to treat the prince's wound.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Qinghuan glanced at everyone present calmly.

If the crown prince's arrow shot wasn't an accident, the most suspected ones would be Concubine Ning Gui and Song Yi.But looking at it like this, the astonishment in Concubine Ning Guifei's eyes did not seem to be fake, and she was even a little nervous.Obviously she also understands that if something happens to the crown prince, she and Song Yi must be the number one suspects.

Song Qinghuan pondered.

The crown prince was seriously injured. Are Concubine Ning Gui and Song Yi really innocent, or did they deliberately create this illusion to remove suspicion?
At this time, seeing that the imperial physician had already pulled out the arrow from the crown prince's back, her eyes froze slightly, she let go of Emperor Yu's hand, and took the arrow in her hand to observe carefully.

The arrow is of ordinary style, without any markings at the end of the arrow.

Song Qinghuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

In order to prevent the confusion of the prey they shot, the arrows used by the contestants participating in today's riding and archery competition are all specially made, and each person's arrow tail will be engraved with his name.

Since there is no mark on the tail of this arrow, it means that Song Yan's arrow hit was not accidental.Either, there were other people hiding in the forest, or, some of the contestants had planned to sneak in the arrow without any mark, and waited for the opportunity to shoot Song Yan.

No matter what the possibility is, this is a murder case that has been planned for a long time!

Thinking of the strange fire in the forage yard last night, and what happened in the riding and archery meeting today, it seems that someone is eyeing them!
But, who is the target of this black hand behind the scenes?
Is it the prince?Is it the father?Or everyone on the spring hunt?

The temperature in spring has gradually warmed up, and the warm wind blows on the face, making it comfortable and pleasant. Standing under the sun, Song Qinghuan felt a bit of cool down her spine.

The imperial doctor quickly treated the prince's wound briefly, and looked up at Emperor Yu, "Your Majesty, the blood of His Royal Highness the prince has stopped. Although the wound is deep, but fortunately there is no vital injury. As long as you go back to rest, nothing will happen. Seriously."

Emperor Yu let out a long breath upon hearing the words.

Hearing this, the queen's tense body suddenly loosened, and the weight of her whole body was pressed on Song Qingyi's body, she was a little unsteady, with an uncontrollable ecstasy on her face.

Concubine Ning Gui on the side lowered her head, her eyes flickered, and her expression was gloomy.

Instructing the servants to carefully carry the prince back to the place where he stayed, the queen was worried and followed, and whispered a few words in Song Qingyi's ear before leaving.

Song Qinghuan watched coldly, knowing that the queen probably ordered Song Qingyi to watch here to see who would dare to kill the prince.

After the incident where the crown prince hit an arrow inexplicably, this riding and archery competition is naturally incomparable.

Emperor Yu returned to his seat on the high platform with a gloomy face, looked at Zhong Huai, and motioned for him to call all the people in the forest back.

Three long whistles and two short whistles sounded sharply and spread into the forest, echoing slowly.

This is the code word for the game.

Once three long whistles and two short whistles are heard, it means that there is an emergency situation, and the participants need to stop the race immediately and rush to the racetrack to meet up.

Not long after, the sound of horseshoes came from the forest one after another. Looking into the distance, I saw many horses galloping towards them.

Song Qinghuan frowned slightly.

But after a while, many people gathered in the originally empty racecourse.

There is only one hour left before the end of the game. Why is the whistle blowing at this time?

Everyone looked at each other with puzzled looks on their faces.

Seeing the commotion at the bottom, Song Qinghuan knew that there was nothing to ask here, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Emperor Yu and suggested, "Father, there are many people here, if you want to find out what happened in the forest just now?" What, it's better to ask each other one by one. Besides, what happened to the prince and brother is not an accident, so my father should send someone to invite the Minister of Dali Temple."

Emperor Yu was startled, and looked up in surprise.

It is indeed strange that the prince was hit by an arrow, but it is not impossible to say that it was an accident. Why is Wu Yang so sure?

Song Qinghuan then told Emperor Yu the arrow situation he had just observed, and attached his own speculation.

As expected, Emperor Yu believed it, pondered for a moment, and then summoned Zhong Huai to order in a low voice.

Song Qingyi sat aside, watching Song Qinghuan and Emperor Yu's frequent "interactions", her eyes flashed with resentment.She got up and sat down beside Emperor Yu, with a worried expression on her face, "Father, the matter of Yan'er...maybe someone did it deliberately, please investigate it carefully."

Emperor Yu let out a "hmm" and said in relief, "Pingyang, don't worry, I will definitely investigate and find out!"

The concubines who watched the game with Emperor Yu had no doubts, and it was useless to stay here. Instead, they would easily make people panic, so Emperor Yu sent them back first.

It is no trivial matter for the crown prince to be hit by an arrow. All the concubines knew the pros and cons of it, so they didn't dare to say more, and retreated one after another after saluting.

Emperor Yu's eyes fell on the back of a person, a strange color flashed in his eyes, his lips moved, and a deep voice sounded, "Grand Concubine, you stay here first."

Concubine Ning's eyelashes twitched when she was called, and the eyes filled with steam, she couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or other emotions.However, the moment he turned around, the mist in his eyes quickly dissipated, and the brightness and brilliance in front of others were restored.

She greeted Emperor Yu Yingying with a blessing, and responded without haste, "Yes, Your Majesty."

At the same time, the contestants who had just entered the woods also got off their horses and gathered towards the high platform with a lot of discussion.

Song Qinghuan and Song Qingyi accompanied Emperor Yu down the high platform and walked in front of the crowd.

Seeing Emperor Yu's solemn expression, it seemed that some great event had happened, the discussion became quieter, and everyone looked at Emperor Yu with doubts and nervousness.

Emperor Yu didn't speak immediately, but looked at the crowd deeply, with a strange look in his eyes.

Everyone became more and more tense, and they didn't dare to breathe out, not knowing what happened.

Song Yi had just looked around, but he didn't see Song Yan's figure. He couldn't help but beat a small drum in his heart, and finally couldn't hold back, "Father, I don't know what happened?"

Emperor Yu gave him a deep look, "The prince just got shot by an arrow in the forest for no reason."

"What?" Song Yi was startled, and there were exclamations and gasps from the crowd, and discussions arose again.

"Quiet!" Emperor Yu frowned.

Everyone trembled and didn't dare to say any more.

Song Yi pursed his lips, not knowing what it was like.After a pause, he asked in a low voice, "Is the prince okay?"

Emperor Yu gave a meaningful "hmm", "The imperial doctor has just seen it, and although the injury is a bit serious, it should not be life-threatening."

Song Yi had mixed feelings in his heart, and he only said on his face as if he was relieved, "That's great."

Emperor Yu withdrew his gaze and said, "The prince was hit by an arrow. It is very likely that someone deliberately did it. I don't want to doubt you, but unfortunately, everyone in the forest just now is suspicious. Please cooperate."

As he spoke, he signaled Zhong Huai to bring people forward, to interrogate them one by one, and ask them about their alibi.

Song Qinghuan watched coldly from the side, but didn't see any clues, but saw Lu Zhenzhen's beautiful eyes twinkling slightly, with a worried look on her face.

Laughing in his heart, seeing Lu Zhenzhen's appearance, how much attention is really paid to the prince?I don't know whether he cares about the prince himself, or the position of the princess?
There were not many contestants, but there were about twenty people, and many of them were followed by guards, so they finished asking questions in a short time.

Everyone has an alibi, and no one is alone, including Song Yi.

In this way, the person who hurt the prince did not come from these people, but mixed with foreign enemies!
Emperor Yu's face became ugly.

People with malicious intentions were mixed into Shanglin Garden. This time it was the prince, but next time, could it be me? !

"This is the end of today's riding and archery meeting. Everyone, go back and have a good rest, and leave for the palace early tomorrow morning." Emperor Yu ordered in a deep voice.

Everyone sensed that something was wrong, they didn't dare to say more, and returned to the palace in twos and threes.

Song Yi glanced at Emperor Yu, seemed to hesitate to speak, but finally said nothing, pursed his lips and walked towards the place where he was staying.

The moment he turned around, he heard Emperor Yu calling Song Xuan.

His mind sank, and the hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist.

Song Xuan was unexpectedly stopped by Emperor Yu, and stopped to look around, "What orders does Emperor Father have?"

"I have already sent someone to invite the Minister of Dali Temple. I want you to be in charge of this case. With the assistance of Dali Temple, we must find the murderer as soon as possible." Emperor Yu said.

Song Xuan was slightly taken aback.

Even Song Qinghuan and Song Qingyi who were still here were stunned.

Emperor Yu didn't say much, but looked at Song Xuan with deep eyes.

Song Qinghuan understood it.

The crown prince was attacked, and the prime suspect was Song Yi, so this task fell on Song Xuan.

If it is done well, the father's impression of Brother Wuhuang will be further improved. Naturally, such a rare opportunity must be grasped well.

Song Xuan understood in his heart, and bowed his head, "I must live up to my father's expectations, and find out the murderer as soon as possible."

"Okay. Dali Siqing will be here soon, you go back first, and he will look for you when he comes."

"It's the royal father."

Emperor Yu looked back at Zhong Huai, "pass on the order, and leave for the palace early tomorrow morning. Also, remember to send more people to patrol around tonight, so that no one can take advantage of it."

Zhong Huai should be.

Emperor Yu came here in high spirits, but when something like this happened, he was depressed and didn't say much. He patted Song Qinghuan and Song Qingyi's hands, signaling them to go back first, and turned back to Yichun Palace.

Song Qingyi gave Song Xuan and Song Qinghuan a meaningful look, then turned and left with the maid.

Song Xuan sighed, as if something was on his mind.

"What's the matter, brother five?" Song Qinghuan glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Father's recent attitude is somewhat ambiguous, and I always feel a little uneasy."

Song Qing smiled happily, "In my opinion, there is no ambiguity, it's just that I discovered your ability and reused you more."

"Having said that, I'm always a little uneasy." Song Xuan said.

"Okay, Brother Wuhuang, don't think too much about it. It's better to find out who is attacking the prince as soon as possible, otherwise..." He lowered his voice, "Song Yi will definitely make a big fuss about this matter. He is now I have already regarded you as a thorn in my side."

Song Xuan nodded solemnly, "I see, Huan'er, you should go back first, you were hit by water and shot by an arrow, I always feel that this Shanglin Garden is not peaceful, you must be careful."

"I understand, brother five emperors too." After saying that, he bid farewell and went back to Jianjia Courtyard.

That night.

The stars are bright and the moon is charming.

Because of the daytime events, everyone in Shanglin Garden was in danger and kept their doors behind closed doors. Only Qimen Qimen, who looked solemn, patrolled the Shanglin Garden frequently, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

The assassination of the crown prince was no small matter. In order to prevent another murderer, the Gantang courtyard where the crown prince was staying had dispatched a lot of horses from the gate to guard it closely.

After the imperial doctor saw it, he said that there was nothing wrong, but he didn't want the prince to suddenly have a high fever in the afternoon, which would frighten everyone.The queen took care of it for several hours, and at Haishi, the prince's fever finally subsided.

The imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the serving maids.

"Is the prince really all right?" The queen looked at the imperial physician with condensed eyes.

The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed and said, "If you go back to your mother, the prince has passed the most difficult time. I believe that after tonight, he will wake up tomorrow."

Seeing what he said with certainty, the queen frowned slightly, and looked worriedly at the pale prince on the couch, suddenly feeling a little dizzy.

She closed her eyes and sat down weakly leaning on the table.

Seeing this, the accompanying maid hurriedly stepped forward to give her a hand, and persuaded in a low voice, "Your Majesty has been tired for a long time, since His Royal Highness is fine, you might as well go back to the palace to rest."

The queen waved her hand, intending to refuse, but suddenly her eyes went dark again.

She didn't eat much for lunch, and she was worried about Song Yan's condition at night, and she didn't even eat a grain of rice. After taking care of her for so long, she was inevitably tired.

"Your Majesty, you should also take care of your phoenix body, otherwise His Highness the Crown Prince will wake up tomorrow and see you working so hard for him, and he will definitely feel guilty and blame himself." The maid urged again.

The queen sighed, and stood up with her support, "Well, since the prince is fine, I will go back and rest for a while."

His cold eyes turned to the imperial physician, "Principal Gao, the crown prince will be handed over to you."

The imperial physician hurriedly responded, "Don't worry, Madam, I will stay with you until His Royal Highness wakes up."

The queen was still worried, and glanced at the maid who had just spoken, "Xiu Xia, you stay and take care of the prince." Xiu Xia was her personal maid, with a stable temperament, and the queen felt relieved with her.

Xiu Xiafu agreed.

The queen then brought the palace servants back to the palace.

The moon fades away.

At this time, a slender figure appeared on the road leading to Gantang Courtyard.The figure hurriedly walked, looking around from time to time, as if a little vigilant.

After walking for a while, the moonlight poured down from the clouds and shone on that figure, making her skin white as snow, delicate and lovely.

It was Lu Zhenzhen.

Lu Zhenzhen clenched her little hands in front of her body, her eyes flashed, but her expression was determined.

She wants to go to Gantang Courtyard to see how the prince is doing!
Hearing that the prince had a fever after being carried back to the Gantang Courtyard, the situation was not good, she was worried after all, and sneaked out after thinking about it.

He traveled fast all the way, and finally managed to avoid the patrolling Qimen and rode to the gate of Gantang Courtyard.

Unexpectedly, there were many Qimen guards outside the Gantang courtyard, hooping the Gantang courtyard like a bucket, not even a fly could fly in.

She froze immediately.

Originally, in her own capacity, she would probably be able to let herself in by begging the servant guarding the gate, but she never expected that there would be such a big battle, how could she be able to get in?
After hesitating at the spot for a moment, seeing that everyone was coming, he was finally unwilling to back down, took a deep breath to strengthen his courage, and walked up pretending to be calm.

Sure enough, he was stopped outside the courtyard.

"My princess came to see His Highness the Crown Prince!" Lu Zhenzhen raised her head, showing a superior look.

"Princess, it's inconvenient for His Royal Highness to see anyone right now." Qi Menqi, who was guarding the gate, said coldly.

"I'll go in and have a look at him, and I'll be leaving soon!" Lu Zhenzhen said.

"I'm sorry Your Highness, the emperor's orders are not to let any idlers in." Qi Menqi had a businesslike expression on his face.

Lu Zhenzhen was angry and annoyed, and her voice was raised a little, "You can see who the princess is! Is the princess just an idler?! I just went to check on the situation of His Royal Highness, and I will come out soon. Can't go in?"

Lu Zhenzhen is used to making publicity in Yangzhou, and she is the princess, now she is mercilessly rejected by this class of guards, so she is naturally upset.

What's more, she was really worried about the prince's situation.

"Unless the princess has the emperor's order, the subordinates will not be able to obey."

"You...!" Lu Zhenzhen was extremely angry, and was about to scold angrily, when she heard a voice from the courtyard, she couldn't help being startled.

In a dazed effort, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and an imperial doctor with a medicine box on his back walked out, seeing the posture at the door, he was also stunned.

The imperial physician recognized Lu Zhenzhen, and bowed to her, "I have seen Princess Changning."

Lu Zhenzhen waved her hands and said anxiously, "Doctor, how is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

The Chief Physician let out a long sigh of relief, "His Royal Highness has just woken up, as long as the wound is well maintained, there will be no serious problems."

Lu Zhenzhen was overjoyed when she heard the words, mist welled up in her big round eyes, "That's great! That's great!" She couldn't help but raise her voice when she got excited.

The imperial physician smiled, bowed his hands and left.

He was frightened too much today, the prince finally woke up, and he didn't need to wait here, so naturally he had to go back to the room to catch up on sleep and suppress the shock.

Watching the imperial doctor go away, Lu Zhenzhen hesitated a bit, wondering if she should continue to grind with Qi Menqi.

Just as he was hesitating, the courtyard door opened again, and a maid came out from the inside, she looked somewhat familiar.

Lu Zhenzhen thought about it carefully, and recognized that she was Xiu Xia, the maid next to the empress, her heart trembled, the empress is also here?

Seeing that it was Lu Zhenzhen, Xiu Xia was a little surprised, "Princess Changning? Is the princess coming to Gantang Courtyard for business?"

Lu Zhenzhen glanced at her, hesitated and asked, "Is the empress also there?"

Those who can work next to the queen are naturally good people. Hearing this, his eyes rolled, and he probably understood what Lu Zhenzhen was here for.

"Your Majesty is not here. His Royal Highness was in a coma earlier, and your Majesty asked your servants to serve His Highness here."

Only then did Lu Zhenzhen breathe a sigh of relief, and said in the future, "I'll come to see Your Highness, can I please ask sister Xiuxia to report?" Xiuxia is a person close to the queen, so naturally she should respect her.

"Don't dare." Xiu Xia bowed slightly, "It's just that His Royal Highness just woke up, so I don't know if it's convenient to meet guests. Please wait here for a while, the princess, and let the servants go in and report."

"It's work."

Xiu Xia nodded, turned and entered the Gantang Courtyard.

Lu Zhenzhen looked at her back, feeling nervous and uneasy.

When she came here at this time, she originally just wanted to see the prince's situation for peace of mind, but she didn't expect the prince to wake up so quickly, and was at a loss for a while.

If I come here rashly, will His Highness the Prince despise me?
However, thinking of the gentle scene in the afternoon, a gentle smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

He... he shouldn't hate himself, right?

Just when he was worrying about gains and losses, there was the sound of small footsteps, and when he looked up, it was Xiu Xia.

Xiu Xia bowed slightly to her, "Master, please come with your servants."

Lu Zhenzhen was startled for a moment, and then became ecstatic.

Your Highness the Crown Prince... promised to see me? !

Looking up, Xiu Xia was looking at herself in the light with a slight smile, she lowered her head in embarrassment, fearing that Xiu Xia could see the clue, she gave a soft "um" and followed her into the Gantang Courtyard.

Xiu Xia's footsteps were very light, as if she was afraid of disturbing the prince's rest.

Lu Zhenzhen also held her breath, the further she walked in, the faster her heart beat.

The prince's room was filled with a strong herbal smell, and there was a faint smell of blood in it. Just by smelling this smell, Lu Zhenzhen could imagine the danger of the prince's arrow at that time, and her face turned pale.

Xiu Xia raised the bead curtain, stopped in her tracks, and invited Lu Zhen Zhen to go in.

Lu Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment, then finally took a deep breath and stepped into the room.

With one glance, he saw Prince Song Yan leaning on the bed with his eyes closed.His eyes were slightly closed, his complexion was pale, but it did not damage the delicacy of his face at all, but instead brought a hint of frail beauty.

The princes of the Tian family all gave birth to a pair of good skins.When it is quiet, it is even more attractive.

Lu Zhenzhen's face couldn't stop turning red, she hesitated whether she should go forward or not.

At this time, Song Yan seemed to have heard the movement, opened his eyes and looked over, there was a cold flash in the bottom of the eyes, but the moment he met Lu Zhenzhen's eyes, they disappeared quickly.

"Cousin Changning." He called softly and smiled.

Seeing that smile, Lu Zhenzhen felt dizzy in her head, stepped forward subconsciously, and gave Song Yan a silly smile, "Your Highness, you...you are finally awake."

"I'm sorry, I made Cousin Changning worry." Song Yan's voice was a little hoarse, but in Lu Zhenzhen's ears, it was quite charming.

She felt her heart beating faster and her cheeks burned.

"Cousin Changning is here to see me?"

Lu Zhenzhen nodded, "I... I heard about His Highness the Crown Prince being shot by an arrow, so I am really worried and want to see His Highness's situation." I don't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be extraordinarily gentle today.

And... And in the afternoon, he even shared some of the prey he hunted with himself!

Could it be... Could it be...?
Lu Zhenzhen shyly raised her eyes to look at Song Yan, then lowered her head again.

Seeing her shy appearance, a trace of disgust flashed in Song Yan's eyes, but he hid it well with a faint smile on his lips, "Cousin Changning has a heart."

On the surface, she is as gentle as jade, but in her heart, she is full of sneers.

Such a stupid woman still wants to become a princess?What a fool's dream!

If he didn't suddenly know that Princess He Wanchang held a lot of wealth in his hands, how could he be so nice to her?The queen mother is right, with Lu Zhenzhen's bearing and knowledge, although she is not qualified to be a princess, she is not bad to be a prince Liangdi.

After all, her identity is there, and... Now that Song Yi is pressing every step of the way, he really needs the money from princess He Wanchang.

Poor Lu Zhenzhen was full of joy, how could she know that this man in front of him who thought he was a good man had a good plan?She shyly tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Your Highness... What happened this afternoon, Your Highness? When we met, weren't you fine?"

Hearing Lu Zhenzhen mention this, Song Yan's eyes became colder.

Even he himself didn't know how he got hit by the arrow!
He only remembered that he was chasing a prey, and suddenly he heard a sharp wind coming from his ear, before he could turn around, he felt a pain in his back, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Later, he lost consciousness.

Seeing his gloomy face, Lu Zhenzhen knew that she had stepped on his sore spot, she hurriedly comforted her, "Your Highness...Your Highness, don't worry, the emperor has already sent the Fifth Prince to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Fifth prince?
Song Yan frowned.How could it be Song Xuan?
Could it be... this matter is really related to Song Yi? !There was a tinge of coldness in his heart, and the darkness in his eyes bloomed inch by inch.

Lu Zhenzhen was startled when she saw his face suddenly gloomy, she didn't dare to say anything about it, so she had to pick up some irrelevant things to say.Song Yan had no choice but to be patient.

At this time, Yichun Palace was also brightly lit.

Emperor Yu sat in front of him with his eyes slightly closed, not sure if he was meditating or dozing off.

The night wind was cool, and Emperor Yu had just bathed and was only wearing a thin inner coat. Zhong Huai was afraid that he would catch the cold, so he tiptoed forward with a cloak and put it on Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu suddenly woke up, and looked at Zhong Huai with half-closed eyes, "What time is it?"

"If you go back to the emperor, it's already three quarters." Zhong Huai bowed.

"Where is the prince, is there any news?" Emperor Yu was thinking about the prince, so he couldn't sleep well.

Zhong Huai hurriedly took a step forward, with a happy expression on his face, "When you go back to the emperor, the imperial physician Gao just sent someone to spread the word, saying that the prince is already awake, as long as the wound is healed, there will be no serious problems."

Emperor Yu let out a long sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally settled down.After only a moment, his brows furrowed again.

Although the prince is awake, who is the person behind this scene?Why do you want to attack the prince?

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly lost my sleepiness.

Zhong Huai was used to observing words and expressions, and pursed his lips, "Your Highness, the fifth prince will surely find out the truth about the prince being shot by an arrow as soon as possible. It's getting late now, you see... you should rest as soon as possible, and you have to come back early tomorrow." palace."

Although Emperor Yu was upset, he also knew that it was useless to be anxious right now, so he took a long breath and nodded in response.

Zhong Huai called someone to come in and wait for Emperor Yu to get on the couch, then he closed the palace door and retreated.

The night grew quieter.

A cool wind blows the shadows of the whirling trees outside the hall.

Suddenly, there were a few slight noises in the silent night, and the gatekeepers outside Yichun Palace fell down, each with an arrow in his chest.

But in an instant, more than a dozen black figures in black clothes rushed out from all directions, and quickly approached Yichun Palace.

Pushing open the gate of the courtyard, the servant on duty in the courtyard looked over, but before he came back to his senses, an arrow pierced through the air and passed through his chest.Before they even had time to make a sound, the four servants and four maids in the courtyard all fell to the ground.

Although Yichun Palace is heavily guarded, Shanglin Garden is no better than the Imperial Palace.The Qimen cavalry brought this time is not much, most of them were patrolling in Shanglin Garden, and a small part was assigned to the Prince's Gantang Courtyard, and there were less than ten people who stayed here to protect Emperor Yuquan. The group of men in black quietly settled.

The man in black held a sword in his hand and quickly approached the hall.

The murderous aura is awe-inspiring, fearing that the comer is not kind.

The door of the hall was quickly opened, facing the moonlight, four men in black raised their swords and entered, walking quickly towards the inner hall.

The servant on duty in the side hall quickly woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he sent several black shadows towards the inner hall. His eyes trembled and he screamed, "Come on! There are assassins!"

Before the ending of the word "Ke" was pronounced, there was a flash of silver light, and a sharp sword flew straight, pierced into his chest, and fell to the ground.

But his sound woke up several other servants on duty, as well as Emperor Yu who was already sleeping lightly in the inner hall.

Emperor Yu's expression froze, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

A servant screamed and ran away, and the assassin who was guarding the door ended with a knife. However, when the movement calmed down, the Qimen riders patrolling around were alarmed and rushed towards this side in a hurry.

The man in black didn't dare to fight, so he went to the inner hall and slashed at the couch with his sword.

The sword fell, but it didn't feel as imagined, only the softness of the brocade quilt, and when I opened it, there was no one inside.

The man in black looked terrified, and looked at the other three, "Quickly search! He must still be in this temple."

The four quickly dispersed and searched around the inner hall.

At this time, the eyes of the man in black who had just held the sword suddenly turned cold, and he looked in one direction.There is a floor-to-ceiling screen with pear blossom wood carvings, flowers and birds, which is a good place for Tibetans.

The man in black waved his hand, and the other three stopped searching, and the hall was suddenly quiet.

Hearing the shallow and rapid breathing coming from behind the screen, the man in black evoked a bloodthirsty smile, and slashed towards the screen with his sword.

The screen cracked at the sound, revealing the terrified Emperor Yu behind him.

Emperor Yu had some martial arts in his body, and rolled to the side the moment the sword fell, narrowly dodging the sharp sword aura.

The man in black's eyes became more and more cold, without any hesitation in his hands, he slashed over with his sword, and the other three also attacked.Emperor Yu dodged two moves in a hurry, but he was defeated in the end.

Seeing the tip of the sword glowing with silver light approaching his eyes, he suddenly heard a "bang", the window in the hall was knocked open, and another black shadow rolled on the ground, stabbing at the man in black with the sword.

Emperor Yu escaped with the point of his sword, his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

He didn't know the origin of this later person, but seeing his posture, he seemed to be a rescuer, and his martial arts were quite high, one person fought against four without any difficulty.Seeing the sound of footsteps approaching outside the window, he was afraid that the Qimen rider who rescued him was coming, so he took a slight breath.

Turning his eyes, he saw Dao Dao's fierce sword energy, forcing the four men in black to be helpless.

There were two "hiss" and "hiss", and the two fell to the ground in response.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the other two turned around and tried to escape, but were stabbed by the man in black with a sword.

Both of them died!

Emperor Yu was cold all over, staring at the man in the darkness shiveringly, his breathing was stagnant, and after a long while, he trembled and said, "You... who are you?"

The man threw away the blood-stained sword, jumped out of the window, and disappeared quickly.

The Qimen cavalry who heard the movement rushed towards Yichun Palace like a tide, and the Qimen cavalry outside the Gantang courtyard were also withdrawn, and the guards outside the Gantang courtyard suddenly weakened.

Yichun Palace is not close to Gantang Courtyard, so the people in the room did not realize what happened.

As soon as Qimen rode away, the surroundings of Gantang courtyard suddenly became quiet.

There was still a warm atmosphere in the room.

Lu Zhenzhen's eyes were a little blurred, she lowered her head slightly, her earlobe was blushing.

She knew it was time for her to go.

However, facing such a gentle His Royal Highness, she couldn't bear the pace of leaving.

She must be dreaming—

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him, with a gentle expression and a warm tone, looked into his eyes with affection like water.With such a focused expression, he was the only one left in the dark pupils like black jade, as if he and himself were the only ones left in the world.

Originally, she only liked the position of the crown princess, but now, she likes His Highness the crown prince more than the position of the crown princess.

In Yangzhou, she has a noble status, and everyone respects and fears her, but no one looks at her with such gentle eyes.

Under such gaze, she felt that her heart softened into a puddle of spring water.

She likes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so much, so much!No one can rob her!There was a look of certainty in the blurred eyes, and the light fell on Song Yan's delicate face without blinking.

Looking at her obsessed eyes, Song Yan felt more and more disgusted.

He lowered his eyes and cleared his throat, "It's getting late, Cousin Changning, please go back and rest, I'm fine."

Although Lu Zhenzhen didn't want to leave, she also knew that it would be impolite for her to stay any longer, so she gave an "um" reluctantly, and stood up.

Song Yan called Xiuxia to come in, "Send two Qimen cavalry to escort Princess Changning back."

Xiu Xia responded, exited the inner room and went down to make arrangements.

The moment the curtain came out, there was a gust of wind, and the shadow of the candle swayed "Puff".

Lu Zhenzhen stood there, waiting for Xiu Xia to come in and call her.Even this last time to be alone with His Highness the Crown Prince, she did not want to miss it.

The candle wick burned down again, but Xiu Xia hadn't come back yet.

Not to mention Song Yan, even Lu Zhenzhen sensed something was wrong, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the outside room slowly.

Before he reached the bead curtain, a gust of wind rushed towards him, and the candles behind him were extinguished in an instant, and the room fell into boundless darkness.

Lu Zhenzhen was startled, screamed involuntarily, subconsciously retreated towards Song Yan.

Song Yan's face turned pale, and his hands trembled a little.

He lifted the quilt and was about to stand up when he felt a pain in his back.But in this situation, he didn't care about other things, he gritted his teeth and stood up, reaching for the sword hanging on the wall.

Seeing that he was about to touch the scabbard, suddenly, there was a bitter breath coming towards him.

Lifting his eyes, a silver light approached his eyes.

The person who came has a strong breath, I am afraid that the person who came is not good!
He pulled out the sword, rolled on the ground, and rolled to the side of the bed. The wound on his back was split open, and there was a piercing pain.

Lu Zhenzhen had never seen such a posture before, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came back to her senses, she wanted to call for help, but found that she was too frightened to make any sound, her legs went limp, and she just fell down beside Song Yan.

Another sharp sword energy came, directly attacking Song Yan's vital gate.

Song Yan was startled by Lu Zhenzhen who suddenly fell to the ground, and was distracted for a moment, but it was at this moment that the tip of the sword was like a dragon, and it was within reach in an instant.

There was only a "chi" sound, and the sound of a sharp sword piercing through flesh and blood resounded in the room.

In an instant, blood gushed out.

The brocade quilt and the white jade floor tiles were instantly dyed red by the surging blood...
