Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 764 In the Name of the Wind
"Why does the emperor ask such a question? Isn't this the emperor's order?" Concubine Min Gui smiled coquettishly at Shui Jian.

"Aifei, what are you talking about?" Shui Jian asked, holding Concubine Min's arm.

"Your majesty, you personally ordered all the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital not to save the Empress Dowager Ping's life. You didn't want Bao Si's life, so what do you want?" Concubine Min Gui's lips twitched.

"Hmph, I did secretly poison the banquet for the Empress Dowager, but this matter can only be done in secret. Who told you to poison an imperial physician to death in such a broad daylight?" Shui Jian glared at Concubine Min Gui.

"Physician Zhou is absolutely loyal to Bao Si, if he hadn't tried to resist the order and insisted on staying in the imperial hospital, the concubine would not have tried to force him to die!" Concubine Min Gui evaded cunningly.

"Okay, how about this, don't search in the Jingxin Pavilion for the time being, I think that the Queen Mother Ping was poisoned so fiercely, even if she didn't die on the spot, her soul may have gone out of her body by now." Shui Jian supported Concubine Min Gui's fragrant shoulders , comforting Concubine Min Gui, and ordered Xiao Dezi to take him away.

"The emperor wants the queen mother to die?" Concubine Liu, who was leaning on the wall and listening quietly, was suddenly stunned.

"Miss Concubine Liu, where should we transfer the empress now?" Mingyue suddenly panicked.

"Mingyue, I'm going to Luoyang Palace, you hide the Queen Mother in my apricot-yellow sedan chair, and let's go to Prince Zheng's Mansion!" Concubine Liu made a decisive decision.

In the evening, cold raindrops from Luoyang Palace hit the roof of the sedan chair, splashing patches of mist on Concubine Liu's skirt.

"Concubine Liu is going out of the palace, you guys have to make way!" Concubine Liu's girl Xi Que stepped forward and said to the guards.

"It turns out that Concubine Liu is leaving the palace, is there the emperor's order?" the guard hurried forward and saluted.

"Guard, of course the palace has a purpose, you see!" After finishing speaking, Concubine Liu handed over a gold medal awarded by Shui Jian the day before yesterday to the guard.

The guard took a closer look and immediately opened the Taiji Gate of Luoyang Palace.

In Prince Zheng's Mansion, due to the continuous rainy days and Jiang Caibing's heartache after being searched by Concubine Min Gui, only Xinyue was temporarily taking care of the housework. At this time, she found a person slowly coming out of the apricot-yellow sedan chair, and she was so frightened that she almost yelled out. Come.

"Ma'am, Concubine Liu managed to bring Empress Dowager Ping out from the palace, please take in Empress Dowager!" Mingyue hurriedly knelt down in the muddy water and kowtowed to Xinyue.

"Ms. Mingyue, please come here quickly. I am so excited that the Empress Dowager Ping is still alive. Hurry up and send the Empress Dowager back to my bedroom. I will save my life even if I risk my life!" Xinyue burst into tears. The mother-in-law helped Mingyue up, and hurriedly let a few reliable family members enter her bedroom secretly behind Baosi's back.

On this day, the wind was cold and cold, Bao Si's eyes gradually became clear, she sat up suddenly, and looked around very hesitantly.

"Is this the fairy world, or the palace?"

"Si'er, you are finally back to normal!" The one who greeted Bao Si's tears was Gu Tu's handsome face.

"Ju Tu, why am I in your house?" Bao Si suddenly recalled the past.

"The empress dowager is over, and there must be a big disaster. I am here to congratulate the empress!" A few beaming people suddenly came to Baosi's bedside, and bowed their hands to Baosi. The leader was Cheng Cheng, who was smiling and confident. Rong.

"The empress dowager is really blessed. This disaster has been overcome safely, and the court will restore peace from now on!" Prime Minister Ming Chao cheerfully congratulated Bao Si.

"Okay, my lords, I was lucky enough to escape the disaster. This is also the blessing of the emperor and the country. By the way, can I go back to the palace now?" Bao Si couldn't help but chuckled leisurely.

"The empress dowager should not return to the palace in a hurry now. Now the treacherous and decent people are monitoring the whereabouts of the empress dowager everywhere, and spreading vicious rumors that are not good for the empress dowager. In order to avoid their persecution, it is better for the empress to rest in the palace." Cheng Rong immediately commended Si suggested.

"Since King Cheng meant this, then I can rest assured. By the way, Die Tu, what I have been worried about all along is that someone in the palace is acting as a traitor for Xue Ju. This person is most likely Concubine Min Gui. You must You must report to the emperor." Bao Si lightly opened her lips to Ju Tu.

"Queen Mother, the emperor is the one who wants to kill you! You must never trust the emperor anymore!" Ju Tu said angrily.

"Ku Tu, don't be impulsive. The emperor was just deceived by Ma Wumen and other traitors. In order to unify the Great Zhou, we must eliminate the traitors and reorganize the court." Cheng Rong quickly pressed Qu Tu's shoulder and said.

In Luoyang City, for several nights in a row, there were assassins in Luoyang Palace. Concubine Min Gui ordered Ma Wumen to take strict precautions, and be careful of someone secretly plotting against him.

"My concubine, these days, there are always assassins haunting the capital. Tell me, which faction are they?" Shui Jian, in the Peony Palace, wrote the memorial with a Chinese ink brush while questioning Concubine Min who was massaging behind her back. .

"Your Majesty, why did you let Die Tu go this time? This person has long been disobedient to the Emperor, and he may have sent the assassin secretly. Think carefully about it. Baosi, Die Tu's sweetheart, was bestowed to death by the Emperor. Can he not blame the emperor in his heart? If he and Cheng Rong Mingchao conspire together to usurp the throne, the emperor will be caught off guard!" Min Guifei whispered a few words into Shui Jian's ear tenderly.

"No, dear concubine, Xirong sent envoys to come here for peace talks on purpose. It was actually a trick to drive a wedge between me and the super important minister Cheng Rongming. I have already sent my minister Zhou Gan to the grassland to inquire about the military situation. The Xirong army has suffered a lot. Obviously, Qu Tu, Cheng Rong, and Ming Chao did not steal the achievements of the Shuilongguan guards and exaggerate the victory, but really wiped out the main force of the Xirong Iron Cavalry. The doctor is blinded." Shui Jian laughed while stroking Concubine Min Gui's hair.

"But your majesty, raising tigers is a problem. This dug, who has military power, has now become a prince of one side. If he turns his back on him, wouldn't Great Zhou be in danger? Besides, there are anecdotes about him and the empress dowager being rumored in the capital. How can you not hate the emperor if you love Bao Si to death?" Concubine Min Gui's bright red lips, under Shui Jian's sight, were particularly terrifying.

In the middle of the night, in Prince Zheng's Mansion, a group of men in black with excellent lightness kung fu suddenly flew over the wall and came straight to the dormitory.

At this time, the room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen at all. The leader in black cast his eyes at his subordinates, and a man in black flew out a piece of sand and stones. He heard fires bursting out of the hall, and there was indeed a black shadow of a woman in the curtain.

The arrogant leader in black swung his long sword and stabbed straight into the curtain.

"Bold thief!" Unexpectedly, just as the assassin made his killing move, his left arm was grabbed by a powerful move, and then tied upside down.

The assassin was just about to fight back, but he didn't expect that the people inside the curtain cut off the item on the assassin's neck with a knife, and blood splashed all over the walls, scaring the rest of the assassins back.

"Tell me, who are you?" Suddenly the bedroom was brightly lit, and An Tong led a group of guards to raise the shining sword and put it on the assassin's neck.

And the person who stepped out of the curtain was none other than King Zheng Jutu.

"Lord Jutu, we are the Imperial Army, and it was Lord Ma who asked us to assassinate!" The assassins were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for their lives.

"Hmph, An Tong, arrest these guys, wait until they go to court, and then put them in front of the emperor!" Jue Tu shouted contemptuously at a group of assassins.

"Whoosh!" At this moment, the princess bedroom next to the main hall was also attacked by assassins. The torches there lit up the yard very brightly. Jug Tu rushed out of the bedroom with his guards and came to the front of the princess palace. Xu Chao, who was lying in ambush here, He also subdued a group of assassins on the spot. After their masks were taken off, Xi Rong's logo was revealed.

"Okay, Xirong and their internal agents have all attacked, saying, why do you want to assassinate the Queen Mother?" Que Tu asked loudly.

"Lord Jutu, Baosi must die, otherwise, I won't be able to go back to the wolf lord!" The leader of Xirong replied sharply.

"Bastard!" Que Tu suddenly became furious, and kicked the Xirong Assassin rolling on the ground.

"Lord Jutu, since we didn't assassinate the enemy, then your Zhou Dynasty is considered to be very lucky, but I want to tell you that our people are in the capital right now, and we only need to wave our hands to kill your emperor and you!" The leader of Xirong laughed wildly.

"King Zheng, it seems that Xi Rong, Ma Wumenweihou, and Hua Gu are colluding secretly in an attempt to assassinate the Queen Mother at night, which means that the whereabouts of the Queen Mother have been discovered by them. Should we continue to send the Queen Mother to a safer place?" Xu Chao worriedly begged for his life.

"Xu Chao, don't worry, these assassins are just here to test, so their martial arts are not strong, which means they don't know that the queen mother is in my palace, and the most important thing for us now is to hand over all these assassins to the emperor! " Jue Tu talked and laughed happily, staring at Xu Chaodao.

The next day, at Chenshi, with the assistance of Cheng Rong and Ming Chao, Qu Tu sent the assassins of Xirong and Ma Wumen to the jade steps of the Hall of Shuilong Shuren.

Shui Jian saw these assassins in various costumes on the spot, and Longyan was furious: "You Xirong savages, you sent people to come to ask for peace, but secretly planted spies to spread rumors and slander in the city, and deceive the world. You are really shameless!"

The Xirong Assassin replied loudly: "Son of the Zhou Dynasty, your Central Plains is not a state of faith. You clearly agreed to peace talks, but you sent troops to attack Shuilongguan."

"Bold Assassin, Shuilongguan is my Great Zhou Mountain and River. No one in the world knows it. You dare to turn black and white like this and talk nonsense in front of the Holy One. You are an idiot!" Jue Tu glared at the assassin and scolded sharply.

"Ju Tu, since you can defend the Xi Rong spies in the capital, I will simply designate you as the Nine Gates Patrol General. These days, you can lead troops to arrest any spies who spread rumors and tell tales in the city!"
