Chapter 989

However, just when he was about to touch the prisoner's disheveled hair and hadn't had time to lift it up completely, Yin Rong and Meng Mei's attention was on the prisoner's side, when suddenly a sharp arrow shot from nowhere , shot straight at Yin Rong and Meng Mei's side, and with a bang, he thrust it forcefully into the table in front of Yin Rong, only a tiny bit away from his hand on the table.

Yin Rong looked at the slightly shaking arrow body in front of him, and his face turned pale for a moment.

Immediately after another arrow shot over, the soldiers on the execution platform finally reacted, drew their knives and shouted: "There is an assassin—"

The arrow almost brushed against Meng Mei's cheek, it was extremely dangerous, Meng Mei exclaimed, and her cheek instantly burned.

She and Yin Rong panicked immediately, she quickly helped Yin Rong up and said, "Your Highness, go!"

The imperial guards rushed up in an instant and surrounded Yin Rong and Meng Mei.

Yan Shouzhen immediately commanded righteously: "Come here, catch the assassin for me! Don't let go of any suspicious behavior!" He then ordered the executioner to say, "If someone robs the court, let me kill him immediately!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and issued a beheading order.

The people who were crowded below heard that there were assassins robbing the execution ground, and saw arrows flying towards the execution platform. They didn't have the heart to watch the execution for a while, so they immediately ran around with their heads in their hands.

Suddenly, the order around the entire practice field became chaotic.

Meng Mei and Yin Rong were escorted and immediately left the place. She looked back hastily with some reluctance, and saw the executioner raised the butcher's knife high, and with one stroke, heads fell to the ground one by one, with blood splattering.

She trembled in fright, and turned her head away quickly.There is nothing else to care about right now, the most important thing is to leave here first.

In the end, the execution ground ended in chaos.The assassin attempted to assassinate him, and he also attempted to rob the execution ground. He was chased by officers and soldiers and fled.

But all the prisoners who should be executed were also executed.

***
It's like having a long dream.

In the dream, half my life has been glitzy.

Later, the sound of rolling ruts gradually awakened the dream, and when Meng Yan slowly opened her eyelids, she could vaguely see the brocade curtain beside the car window flickering.

The snow-white sky outside is dazzling, yet vaguely vast and lofty.

There was a wisp of dark fragrance flowing in the air, like musk deer and orchid, which she was familiar with.

She raised her eyelids to look, and saw a bewitching face slightly lowered above him, he had no time to hide the emotion on his face, the mole at the bottom of his eyes looked so sad.

It took Meng Yan a long time to realize that she was lying on his lap.

Meng Yan was feeling drowsy in her head, she raised her hand to cover her eyes to block the glare, and said hoarsely, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Two days."

"What about the rest?"

"Each find their way out."

Those who were beheaded on the execution platform that day were all death-row prisoners deliberately detained by Yan Shouzhen from the death of King Shou a while ago.

"That's good." She said, "I didn't feel sorry for them."

Xu Chenfang said softly, "You can only be sorry for yourself."

Under her covered fingers, two tears fell silently, she sneered twice, with a trembling nasal voice, said: "I am really sorry for myself. The first thought I just woke up was, It's so boring to live."

Chongyi was driving outside, and the carriage drove to a wider world in the distance.

When she heard Meng Yan's words suddenly, she burst into tears without realizing it.She swung her horsewhip fiercely and said "drive".

Xu Chenfang hugged her tightly, held her head, and coaxed her softly: "In the future, it will be fine."

***
The body of Princess Yin Wu was transported to the north, and the court was in a state of depression. Even the prosperous capital was gradually shrouded in a depressive atmosphere.

Yin Rong was assassinated in the execution ground, and he sent someone to investigate in detail.

In his hand was an arrow shot by an assassin at that time, which was different from the arrows Da Yin usually saw.

Later, according to the results of the investigation, it was learned that this was not the arrow of Dayin, but the arrow of Li Guo.

Those assassins were from Li.

The Li people's ambition to assassinate the prince of the Yin country is obvious, and there is no need for more excuses.

Yin Rong asked the envoys to send a circular letter to Li Guo, asking Li Guofang to explain, while thinking of Meng Mei, he looked at her with a cold face, and asked: "You colluded with Li Guo to lure me out of the palace?"

Meng Mei was frightened and recuperated in her bedroom after she came back. There was a scratch on her cheek, but the wound was not deep and the imperial doctor said it would not leave a scar.

Meng Mei's face turned pale, she shook her head and said: "I don't have any, I just want to go and have a look. Is Your Highness suspicious of my wife?"

Yin Rong said: "I am leaving the palace temporarily, only you will know!"

Meng Mei said with a crying voice: "But the concubine is with His Highness! How could the concubine do such a stupid thing!"

Think about it too.If she colluded with the people of Li to kill him, it would be digging her own grave.

Yin Rong was just skeptical.

Meng Mei threw back the quilt, then rushed over, knelt on the couch, and stretched out her arms to hug Yin Rong's waist.

She murmured, "I love Your Highness more than myself. I am willing to do anything for Your Highness. I will go forward and back with His Highness in my whole life. How can Your Highness not believe me..."

In the end, Yin Rong raised his hand and patted Meng Mei's shoulder, saying, "It's Bengong who blamed you."

The battle at the border was still going on, and several battle reports were sent, and several times they urged the court to urge food and grass.

In the past year, not only the northern border, but also the border with Lang country, the military resources consumption of the soldiers at the border has been a huge amount.

The imperial court made careful calculations, and the follow-up food and grass were delayed again and again.

Lang State never paid tribute to Yin State again, but it paid tribute several times in previous years. The emperor asked the cabinet to open the treasury, exchange the gold for grain and grass, and send it to the border in a hurry.

However, very little of the first gold had been spent.But in the second and third batches, terrible problems were discovered.

The gold is only covered with gold on the surface, but when you knock it open inside, it turns out to be stones one by one.

This means that such two large batches of gold that have entered the treasury are actually fake!
After looking at the gold-coated stones that were smashed one by one, the emperor couldn't breathe freely, and the stasis was blocked in his chest, which caused waves of dull pain in his chest.

He staggered two steps while holding his chest.

Eunuch Huang and other eunuchs rushed to help, and said in shock: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body!"

The emperor's brain also swelled, and then his face turned pale, and a mouthful of blood came out immediately.

Immediately, the palace people and courtiers present were in chaos.

The emperor was sent to the palace, and the imperial physicians diagnosed that he was suffering from qi and blood attacks and injured the dragon's body.

During his recuperation, all state affairs were handed over to the prince.

If there had been no war, what Yin Rong would have successfully taken over should have been a glamorous and glorious throne.But now what he took over was a mess before his eyes.He didn't feel at ease at all.

Yin Rong is very worried every day, the court needs to expand the treasury for military funds.
