Chapter 529 Assassination of the Empress
outside the house.

When Chunlu left the room, at Yin Qingrong's request, she closed the door by the way.Liu Yue and Shen Xing stood outside the door waiting on one side, Dong Xue and Chun Lu stood on the other side, neither of them spoke first.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the room. Liu Yue and Shen Xing looked at each other, their expressions slightly gloomy.

Liuyue glanced at Dongxue, smiled and said, "I don't know what the Changdiji is talking to our mother, and there has been no movement for so long. I think... this auspicious time is coming soon, so don't talk too much about the Changdiji." Be engrossed, it’s time to miss it.”

Dong Xue smiled, "Miss Liuyue is right, I believe His Highness will be sensible."

Seeing that she blocked her back neither soft nor hard, but she just didn't move, Liu Yue curled her lips and didn't say anything more.

At this time, there was a small sound of "bang" in the room, because Song Qinghuan and Yin Qingrong were in the room, and there was a main hall for guests outside, so they couldn't hear it clearly, and they didn't know what happened inside. .

Liu Yue and Shen Xing looked at each other, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

As he spoke, he wanted to open the door.

I don't want to, before I put my hand on the door, a hand stretched out from the slanting stab to block her, "Miss Liuyue, the masters haven't spoken yet, it doesn't seem good for us to break in like this."

It was Dong Xue who made the sound.

Liu Yue looked at her coldly, "In case something happens to the empress, can you bear the responsibility?"

Dongxue didn't take back her hand, looked at Liuyue and said, "Miss Liuyue, there are only the empress and our highness in the room, what can happen? Could it be that... Miss Liuyue is suspicious of our highness? "

Liu Yue didn't speak, just stared at her coldly, seemed a little unconvinced, and was about to force her way in, but Shen Xing took her hand, shook her head at her, Liu Yue gave up.

Dong Xue smiled, and withdrew her hand, and looked at Chun Lu secretly, a dark light flashed in her eyes.

At this time, the door was suddenly pulled open by someone, and a person stumbled out. His clothes were stained red with blood, his face was pale, and he shouted with the last of his strength, "Come on! Ning Le Changdi Ji intends to assassinate me, hurry up!" ...take her down quickly!"

It was Song Qinghuan!
Dongxue and Chunlu were taken aback, and subconsciously rushed into the room. Before they could move their feet, they suddenly felt a pain in the back of their necks. Behind him, a knife came down, and he lost consciousness.

Only then did Song Qinghuan feel relieved, his body softened, and he fell into a coma, Shen Xing hurriedly supported Song Qinghuan.

Seeing this, Liuyue showed an anxious expression, and shouted loudly, "Someone! Escort! Come here! The empress is injured!"

*
Murong Mansion at this time.

The mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there is a joyous atmosphere everywhere.

There were quite a few wedding banquets in the front hall, and the guests who came to the wedding had already arrived one after another. Shen Chuhan was also sitting at the top, chatting with Yao Su who was at the bottom.

The wedding of Murong Zhuo and Yin Qingrong is a rare event, and Shen Chuhan had to attend in person, so today, most of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital city have arrived, and the mansion is very lively.

Seeing that it was almost the auspicious time to welcome the bride, Xiao Zhuo was about to go down to get ready when he suddenly saw a guard from the mansion stumbling into the main hall.

He frowned, and shouted in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

The guard stood still in the hall, glanced at Xiao Zhuo, then at Shen Chuhan, and stammered, "Your Majesty, General, Chen... Commander Chen came into the mansion with a large group of armored guards."

Commander Chen that the guards were talking about was Xuanying.Xuanying's original surname was Chen, and after he was promoted to the commander of the two guards, he resumed his original surname.

Xiao Zhuo's face darkened, and the guests in the hall stopped talking when they heard this, and looked at the guard who came to report in surprise.

Shen Chuhan narrowed his eyes and didn't speak.

A strange look flashed in Yao Su's eyes, and he clenched his fists on his knees.

In an instant, Xuan Ying had already reached the entrance of the main hall, he didn't pause, and went straight into the main hall with the large group of armored guards.

Seeing him act like this, everyone's faces suddenly became ugly.

The emperor was still in the hall, what did Chen Xuanying want to do by bringing weapons in without notification, and bringing a large group of armored guards with him?Rebellion?
In a state of shock, seeing Xuanying walk to Shen Chuhan's head and stop, he cupped his fists and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, it's not good! The Empress was stabbed by Ning Le Changdiji in the Huitong Hall, and she is unconscious at this moment. He has been sent back to the palace to be treated by the imperial physician."

"What did you say?!" Shen Chuhan was shocked, he slapped the armrest and stood up.

Xuan Ying's eyes swept across the astonished Yao Su's face, and he said coldly, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the Liang Guo Mission has other plans. Please issue an order to send the Liang Guo Mission out." Detain it first, and make a decision after a detailed review!"

Yao Su panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Emperor Han, there must be some misunderstanding." As he spoke, his hands in his sleeves moved slightly, and he hurried out of the seat, wanting to run to Shen Chuhan's side to "present the situation." However, before he got close, Murong Zhuo stopped him with his hand, "General Yao, the situation is unclear at the moment, it is better for General Yao not to act rashly!"

Yao Su looked at his cold and serious face, and didn't dare to move any more. There was a bit of panic in his eyes. He glanced at the armored guards in full armor, and then at the members of the mission whose weapons had been confiscated before they came in. Finally, he decided to go first. Let's not move.

"Take them down!" Shen Chuhan gave Yao Su a cold look, flicked the hem of his clothes, and said in a cold voice, "Send them back to the palace!" As he spoke, he took people and left in a hurry.

"Yes." Xuan Ying clasped her fists in response, swung her back, and the armored guards she brought scattered around immediately, and quickly controlled the members of the Liang Kingdom Mission who were attending the banquet one by one.

Xuan Ying looked at Murong Zhuo, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, General Murong, for disturbing your wedding, I will take them away first."

Murong Zhuo nodded, indicating that he doesn't need to take it to heart.

Xuan Ying looked at Mu Bai who came to the wedding banquet again, "Mu Bai, here, I just ask you to help General Murong deal with the aftermath."

Mu Bai also nodded, and asked again, "How is the Empress?"

Xuan Ying shook her head, "The empress was stabbed in the abdomen, and she is unconscious now. The imperial doctor is treating her, so I don't know what's going on."

Hearing this, the guests who were stunned at the place couldn't help whispering, everyone knew that the emperor was very precious to the empress, and now that the empress was assassinated and unconscious, the emperor was furious, and he didn't know what he would do.

What's more terrible is that the one who stabbed the empress was actually Liang Guo's concubine Emperor Ji. Liang Guo had just signed a truce with them and then did it again. What was his intention? !
"Where's our Changdiji?" Yao Su, who was escorted by the iron armor guards, finally couldn't help it, and said in a deep voice.

Xuanying gave him a fierce look, but didn't say anything, obviously venting his anger on him, waved his hand, and said coldly, "Take it away!"

So, he took the armored guards and escorted the members of the Liang Kingdom Mission out of the Murong Mansion.

As soon as they left, only the whispers of the guests were left in the hall, everyone looked at Murong Zhuo, who was at the head, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Ning Le Chang Di Ji was the chief culprit who stabbed the empress, it seems that this marriage is not going to end today, a good wedding banquet has turned into what it is now, Murong Zhuo is indeed quite pitiful as the groom.

However, the mission of Liangguo was not clear about their intentions, so they couldn't rush to comfort them.

On the contrary, it was Murong Zhuo who spoke first, and said apologetically to everyone, "I'm really sorry that something like this happened today, it surprised everyone."

Mu Bai interjected, "General Murong didn't know that such a thing would happen, but the mission of Liangguo had sinister intentions, and General Murong was also a victim."

"Yes." The guests below echoed.

Murong Zhuo twitched the corners of his lips, thanked Mu Bai for his consolation, and bowed his hands to everyone, "It seems that my kiss today is not going to work, I'm sorry to bother you all, please bear with me."

"Where."

"General Murong is polite."

All the people below expressed their consolation one after another, took their leave and left.

Thus, a wedding that was supposed to be very lively ended in such a hasty way, everyone dispersed, leaving only Murong Zhuo and Mu Bai in the hall, and the maid who shuttled between them busy cleaning up the mess.

The two looked at each other, and there was darkness in their eyes.

Mu Bai cupped his fists towards Murong Zhuo, "General Murong, I'll go and see where the emperor is, and I will trouble you here."

Murong Zhuo nodded and watched him leave.

On the other side, Xuan Ying and Tie Jiawei escorted the Liang State delegation out of the Murong Mansion, and went straight to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Seeing the solemn expressions of the armored guards, Yao Su became more and more confused. After walking for a while, he finally couldn't hold back and said, "Commander Chen, where are you taking us?"

"Punishment prison." Xuanying responded coldly.

Yao Su's face darkened, "Commander Chen, you put us in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice before the matter is clearly investigated. Isn't it too hasty? After all, the two countries have just signed a peace agreement. If the Pope knows that we are about to They are all treated like this, and the newly signed agreement may cause another disturbance."

Xuanying sneered, "General Yao doesn't need to threaten me here. Your country's chief emperor, Diji, assassinated our empress with ulterior motives. I don't believe that he acted so boldly. General Yao didn't know anything about it."

"I really don't know why Chang Di Ji did this! How is Chang Di Ji now? Where is she? I want to see Chang Di Ji!" Yao Su raised his voice and yelled.

Xuanying stopped suddenly, and gave him a cold look, "General Yao, let's save it first. When we get to the Ministry of Punishment, I will have a chance to tell you."

Feeling the chill in his eyes, Yao Su's heart suddenly trembled, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Soon, the Criminal Department arrived.

Xuanying ordered the Iron Armored Guards to take the other members of the Liangguo Mission to take care of them carefully, but Yao Su was the only one left.

Yao Su looked at him warily, "What do you want to do?"

Xuanying curled his lips coldly, "It's just a chat with General Yao, General Yao doesn't need to be nervous." As he spoke, he gestured to the iron armored guard who was escorting Yao Su, and the iron armored guard understood, and pressed Yao Su to go somewhere. Go, Xuanying's eyes dimmed, and he followed.

Arriving at the darkest part of the prison, the armored guard stopped, pushed open an iron door in front of him, and "invited" Yao Su to enter.

Once inside, although the lamps were lit on all sides, there was still a chilly air rushing towards the face, which made people shiver uncontrollably. Yao Su looked around, and saw the familiar people in the room After the instrument of torture, subconsciously "clicked".

As soon as he came up, he went to the torture room, without any regard for his status as an envoy from Liangguo. Could it be that something serious happened in the same hall?
Tie Jiawei pressed Yao Su, sat down on an iron chair in the middle, and then handcuffed his hands and feet without showing any mercy.

Yao Su breathed heavily, "Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this?!"

The armored guard did not speak, but the door was pushed open from the outside. Xuanying walked in, followed by two men in black. Martial arts master.

Yao Su frowned, and his heart became more and more anxious.

When he was in Liangguo, he had heard that Shen Chuhan had an elite team with high martial arts, who came and went without a trace, like ghosts in the dark night, and the person leading this team was Xuanying.

Xuanying gestured to the two armored guards beside Yaosu, the armored guards understood, bowed and retreated.

The door was closed, and there was a "bang" like a heavy hammer, hitting Yao Su's heart, making him breathless.

Yao Su managed to calm down, his brows darkened, and he said angrily at Xuan Ying, "What is the meaning of Commander Chen, I, Yao, is an envoy from a country, and this is how you treat a country as an envoy? ! "

"If it's an envoy, of course we'll entertain him well, but if it's a spy, we won't be too polite."

"Commander Chen, what do you mean?!" Yao Su raised his voice, very annoyed.

Xuan Ying hooked the corners of her lips, "I think General Yao understands what I mean." As he spoke, he hooked his hands back.

The two hidden guards behind him understood, stepped forward and walked to the sides of Yao Su, and began to search him proficiently.

Yao Su's face turned red, and he kept struggling, "Commander Chen, don't bully me too much!" It's just that his hands and feet were handcuffed, and his struggle was futile.

Yinwei quickly searched his whole body, but found nothing.

Yao Su stared at Xuan Ying, and said sharply, "Commander Chen, are you satisfied now?"

No, as soon as the words fell, a hidden guard squatted down, knocked on his ankle, and took off the boots he was wearing while the soles of his feet were numb.

Yao Su's face turned pale, and he watched Yinwei touch the edge of the bottom of his boot, only to hear a "crack", a sharp blade emerged from the toe of the boot, and the silver light in the candle flame stabbed him. His eyes narrowed.

Xuan Ying glanced coldly, and Sen Leng said, "How does General Yao explain this?"

Today's Murong Zhuo's wedding banquet, because Shen Chuhan will be here, all guests will be searched carefully before entering Murong Mansion, and no sharp weapons are allowed.

Yao Su made up his mind, and met Xuanying's examining eyes, "Yao has been living a life of licking blood from the knife edge. This time, he just forgot to change his shoes when he came to the wedding banquet."

Xuanying sneered, "General Yao's words sounded like something a killer would say, but isn't General Yao the great general of the Liang Kingdom? What he did was supposed to be a battle to kill the enemy. How could he come up with such a sinister idea?" What kind of trick? Could it be... General Murong was poisoned by you before?"

Yao Su's face turned pale, and he faltered for a long time before he stiffened his neck and said, "There is nothing wrong with imposing a crime! It seems that Commander Chen is going to punish me today!" Having said this, his eyes lighted up slightly, and continued Yelling, "From the very beginning, I have never met Chang Di Ji, and it's all based on your one-sided words, saying that Chang Di Ji stabbed the empress, who knows if this is a trap set by you?!"

He spoke more and more vigorously, and then said, "Changdiji is about to get her wish and marry General Murong, why did she stab the queen at this time? Besides, I heard that the queen's martial arts are strong, and Changdiji has no hands. How can the power to bind a chicken successfully stab the queen?"

Xuan Ying just looked at him and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Yao Su breathed a sigh of relief again, "Commander Chen, think about it carefully, we have just signed a peace agreement with your country, why do we act like this? Take ten thousand steps back, even if this is true, Changdi Ji We don't know what to think. Maybe... Maybe it's because Chang Diji still misses Emperor Han and has a heart of jealousy and hatred towards Empress, that's why she did this murderous thing."

Glancing at Xuanying's expression, seeing that he still didn't answer, he had no choice but to say in a good voice, "Commander Chen, Changdiji has been pampered by my emperor. This incident does not represent Liangguo's intentions, empress empress." We will definitely ask Changdiji to take responsibility for the injury. But if you imprison us indiscriminately, if it is reported back to Shengjing, how will my emperor feel about it? We can sit down and discuss this matter." He said. Then, he quickly added, "Of course, not here."

Xuanying still didn't speak, looked at him coldly for a moment, and ordered in a cold voice, "Let Tie Jiawei take a good look at General Yao, General Yao is a distinguished guest, don't neglect him."

After saying this, he flicked his hands, but without saying anything, he turned around and left with the two hidden guards.

The heavy iron gate was slowly closed in front of Yao Su. He looked at all kinds of cruel instruments of torture around him, recalling Xuan Ying's last words, a cold chill rose from the soles of his feet, and soon spread to his whole body.

Night is still long.
