Chapter 359 Xuefei was assassinated
Another assassin...
Mo Ziyao was shocked and wanted to turn her head to look at Ruan Lingzheng. She heard him say in a sinking voice, "What are you talking about?"
He wanted to get up, but he saw that Grandpa Jin was in a hurry to stop him and said, "Your Majesty, you can't go out!"
This time's assassin is different from the Empress Dowager's birthday. The last time it was dressed as King Xuan for Qing'er in the cold palace. And this time, since the assassins can break into the palace and go straight to Tianze Palace, the target they want to assassinate is about to come out.
Those who can break into Tianze Palace will certainly not be ordinary people, so Ruan Lingzheng can't go out. If the imperial guards and the imperial army can let the assassins enter the palace to stab the emperor, then they are all rice buckets and don't have to live!
"Your Majesty." Mo Ziyao took his hand and her eyes were full of worry.
Ruan Lingzheng gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with the Empress Dowager?"
Mr. Jin hesitated, but shook his head: "I... I don't know."
Yes, he came in in a hurry when an assassin appeared in Tianze Palace. Naturally, he didn't know what happened to the Empress Dowager.
Ruan Lingzheng's face turned pale. Mo Ziyao sat up with the quilt and held his hand tightly and said, "The emperor is useless even if he goes out now. I believe that the imperial army in the palace still has this kind of protection ability."
Ruan Lingzheng still doesn't say anything. The sound outside lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually calmed down. Then someone came in and did not enter the inner room, but said outside, "Your Majesty, all the assassins have been wiped out!"
Ruan Lingzheng had already stood up angrily and wanted to go out to see who was so bold. Grandpa Jin quickly took out his clothes and put them on him. He asked, "Is there any living?"
"This..." The outsider is a little hesitant.
At this time, another person rushed in and shouted, "Your Majesty, tell the emperor! The assassin broke into the Xuexi Palace, and the Princess Xuefei was assassinated!"
Snow Concubine was assassinated?
"What did you say!" Ruan Lingzheng roared and rushed outside. He even had to wear his robe in a hurry.
"Your Majesty!" Grandpa Jin hurriedly chased him out with his clothes in his arms, hurriedly waited for him to put on his clothes, and heard him scold him as a "stard bastard" and strode out.
Mo Ziyao sat in a stunned ** and couldn't react. Shouldn't the assassin in the palace be targeted at Ruan Lingzheng? Why is the person who was assassinated Xuefei?
Thinking like this, I got up in a hurry to get ready to get dressed. But I didn't think about it, but I found that the injured arm hurt so much that it was very difficult to lift it. With a force, even the wound on my forehead hurt and was a little dizzy. He gritted his teeth and put on his clothes. When he walked outside, a bodyguard came up to stop him and said, "The imperial concubine, please stay. The emperor said that the imperial concubine waited in the bedroom. It's not safe outside tonight. It's better for the noble concubine not to walk around.
Mo Ziyao saw that many bodyguards were dealing with the bodies on the ground outside the Tianze Palace. A lot of blood stained the ground outside with a dazzling color. She was anxious, but she knew that she really couldn't go out recklessly at this moment. The origin of the assassin is still unknown.
When I turned around, I saw Gan Lin, my heart moved, and I quickly called him: "Chief Gan!"
Gan Lin's eyes looked at Mo Ziyao and hurriedly trotted forward to salute, "What do you want me to order?"
Mo Ziyao turned around and said, "Mr. Gan will come in first. I have something to ask."
Gan Lin hesitated and finally entered the door.
Mo Ziyao turned around, looked at him, and said, "In addition to the emperor and the snowy palace, are there any other masters who have been assassinated?"
Gan Lin was stunned and shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't think so. Otherwise, there should be news coming now."
The Tianze Palace is heavily guarded, and it is even more difficult to come here to assassinate the emperor. However, those assassins still came. Their target is not Ruan Lingzheng, but Xuefei! First come to Tianze Palace to create the illusion of the emperor's assassination, so the guards patrolling nearby will rush to rescue. Bring all the people here so that they can relax the guard of the snowy palace.
Yes, who would have thought that someone would assassinate Xuefei? Even if there are many targets that can be assassinated in the palace except for the emperor, aren't there? For example, the empress dowager, such as the little prince...
I was shocked. The dagger that appeared in Xuexi Palace today was originally prepared for Ruan Lingzheng?
Mo Ziyao's fingertips trembled, and Gan Lin immediately realized her abnormality and frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you, princess?"
Mo Ziyao raised her hand and stroked her chest. Now that she thinks about it, she is still afraid. If Xuefei doesn't miss the past, what if she really loses her mind and stabs the dagger into his body?
No wonder I couldn't figure it out before. Why did anyone know that they were going to Xuexi Palace and prepared a dagger for Xuefei in advance? It turns out that the other party's goal is not himself at all!
It seems that the other party knew early in the morning that Ruan Lingzheng had no love for Xuefei. He wanted to kill Xuefei with a dagger when she was out of control.
Mo Ziyao turned her head, looked at her injured arm and said secretly: Unfortunately, who would have thought that I would go, and Xuefei's anger turned from Ruan Lingzheng to me. That dagger turned into a murder weapon to assassinate me!
Xuefei still failed to kill Ruan Lingzheng, so there was this play tonight. The bodyguard just said that Xuefei was assassinated.
Assassined, is it dead? Mo Ziyao's heart was fiercely picked up. No, she can't die at this time! Before Ruan Lingzheng's imperial edict was issued, the guilty concubine died. If it was known by the people of Yutan, what would they think?
I trembled all over and looked out of the door with my eyes round. This matter was actually related to Yutan...
If Ruan Lingzheng does not die, they want to provoke a war between the two countries! It must be like this, it must be like this! It's just that who are they?
"Your concubine..." Gan Lin looked at her worriedly and said anxiously, "Your concubine's face is so ugly, I'd better go to announce the imperial doctor to have a look." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Mo Ziyao hurriedly stopped him: "No, Manager Gan, go and send more people to protect the emperor!"
She was afraid that the assassin was still hiding in the palace and wanted to wait for the opportunity to assassinate again. My mind is so confused. These things are just my own guesses. There is no evidence, right?
Gan Lin hesitated, and Mo Ziyao said again, "Why don't you go quickly! If the emperor has a good or evil, you won't have enough life to compensate!"
Hearing what Mo Ziyao said, Gan Lin's face changed. He hurriedly answered and hurriedly turned around and ran out.
Mo Ziyao looked at his running back and was distracted. Too many things happened today, and her heart was very confused. A lot of clues were all entangled. Suddenly, she couldn't tell the difference.
The target is Xuefei. The purpose is undoubtedly to provoke the war between the two countries. So, who is it?
The fingertips trembled, the Northern Song Dynasty? No, it is impossible. Such a huge country will not take Ruannan, a small country in a poor country. Because of disdain.
So, is it that Yutan directed and acted the play by himself? Mo Ziyao thought of Yu Chichenyi, the emperor of Yutan, and could never see through him, but felt that he was a very deep and ambitious person.
Has he found the danger of Ruan Nanguo from the current situation and wants to annex Ruan Nanguo before the army of the Celestial Empire comes in order to strengthen himself? Mo Ziyao bit her lip and didn't want to think about it. Anyway, how did the assassin enter the palace tonight?
The palace was heavily guarded, and I just saw that there were many assassins who fell to the ground bare. Isn't it abrupt that so many people suddenly appeared in the harem of the Ruan Nan Dynasty? What about the imperial army in the palace? Don't you have long eyes? My heart suddenly shook. If they didn't have eyes, it would be a blindfold!
Internal traitor...
When she thought of this, she could hardly stand. She instinctively held the edge of the table, but she didn't expect that there was still a wound on her arm, which made her breath of cold air. Suddenly, he remembered something and hurried to the door.
When the bodyguard saw her go out again, he was shocked and came forward to hug her and said, "Your concubine, please go back to the bedroom to rest."
Mo Ziyao looked at him and only said, "I won't go out. If you are worried, follow me. I just want to see who those assassins are. After saying that, he stopped looking at him and went straight out.
The guard hesitated and finally followed up and said, "But the noble concubine, those assassins are dead."
Mo Ziyao didn't look back and went straight down the steps and asked him, "Why is there no one alive?"
"It's not that the noble concubine didn't stay, but the remaining six captured assassins. They committed suicide with poison." The guard spoke behind him.
Mo Ziyao's footsteps stagnated slightly, but she hesitated a little and moved forward again. Take poison and committed suicide. Oh, it seems that it is really a well-trained person.
When the bodyguards saw Mo Ziyao go down, they all showed surprise and hurriedly saluted her. Mo Ziyao signaled that they didn't have to be polite. The bodies had almost been disposed of, and there were only three left. He still covered his face. One was killed by the royal army with a sword, and the other two had no wounds on their bodies. It was thought that the bodyguard had just died after taking poison, right?
He took a deep breath and stepped forward, his eyes fell straight on the three bodies, and said in a low voice, "Revealed the black veil on their faces."
A bodyguard answered and leaned down to pull off the black veil on their faces. The face is clearly exposed. They are all young heroes with strong faces. There was no trace of pain on the faces of the two people who committed suicide by taking poison. I really don't know what kind of belief competition can make them like this.
Mo Ziyao pondered and then said, "Search me to see if there are any clues left on them."
The bodyguard who just lifted the black veil said to her, "Your concubine, your subordinates have searched, and there is nothing that can prove your identity or anything."
Mo Ziyao was silent. Yes, they are all elites, and these should have been thought of long ago. These assassins are ready to go back alive and should not make such a big mistake, leaving something that can prove their identity.
He asked again, "Where's the other body?"
The guard said, "They are all new faces, and the noble concubine will not know them."
Mo Ziyao hesitated and finally nodded. He turned around and said, "Who is the imperial guard in Tianze Palace tonight?"
"It's my subordinate, the noble concubine." One person stood up.
Mo Ziyao didn't look at him, but walked to the side hall in front of him and whispered, "Come to me. I have something to ask."
"Yes." The man answered and followed Mo Ziyao.
Crossing the high threshold, Mo Ziyao no longer entered. She just sat at the table, looked up at the person in front of her, and asked, "What's your name?"
The man lowered his head: "My subordinate Qin Jian."
Mo Ziyao nodded and continued to ask, "How did you find the assassin?"
