Chapter 24 There is no path
"Oh? It's so close, so close! Madam's urgency is also admirable!" Nie Kong sighed sincerely, "If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have suffered a long time ago. It's also a great contribution to successfully capture the assassin this time!"
"What did Director Nie say? The assassin came to me. He used himself as bait to lure the assassin to appear in order to protect himself. It was that I should thank General Manager Nie and King Wei. In order to save Huanxuan's life, I did not hesitate to risk the charge of disobeying the court and worked hard to move the public!"
"No!" Nie Kong said with a serious look, "Let's tell my wife the truth today. Today's court is no longer the court. It can be said that the public opinion is angry and full of complaints. What is the fault of the wife after marrying into the imperial court? King Wei's move is not entirely for the sake of his wife, but who can stand idly by if anyone has a little conscience?
Huanxuan was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you, General Manager Nie, for your understanding. Anyway, because of me, Huanxuan is not the person who avoids responsibility. Today's disaster is unpredictable. If he has a legacy every day, Huanxuan will never put King Wei in danger. Please rest assured!"
Nie Kong smiled and seemed to be a little helpless. "It's not that I'm worried about decentralization. In fact, the Lord is the same person as his wife. Since he took care of the matter, how can he avoid responsibility? Does your wife want the Lord to be the unrighteous person? Well, madam, don't think too much. No matter what the reason is, if you come to Wei County, you will be at ease. From then on, we will advance and retreat together. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Why are you afraid of those individual villains with ulterior motives?
After listening to it, her heart was full of bitterness. She never thought that she would run to Weijun to settle down. Even if she came, whose soldiers and where did she block? Is that the tall man who lacks nothing so tolerant of her? In the past, the ears were grinding, and the sharp blades turned against each other in a blink of an eye. This knife was more fierce, faster and colder than the assassin's knife.
"Are you feeling better, Xiaoci?" Huanxuan stroked Xiaoci's shoulder with one hand, "If it's all right, we can go back to the palace with Manager Nie."
"Well, let's go!" Listening to Huanxuan and Nie Kong's words, Xiaoci, who had slowly calmed down, wiped away the remaining tears and stood up. "Madam, Lord Nie, do you think there are any other assassins besides the one we caught?"
"No for the time being!" Huanxuan looked at Nie Kong and said, "Of course, this is just my estimate. First of all, there is a failure in the palace, and they can't afford to fail again, so they can only seize the opportunity to get rid of the target. If they still have someone, they will definitely appear. Manager Nie, what do you think?"
"Well, I basically agree with my wife!" Nie Kong turned around and walked to the door and made a gesture of invitation, "However, it's just basic. It doesn't rule out the possibility that there are still other accomplices. It won't be clear until you go back for trial!"
Nie Kong left some people to clean up the scene, so that after waking up at dawn, the surrounding neighbors saw the messy traces here, and speculated about everything that had happened here. The rest of the others escorted the three people's carriage back to the Weiwang Palace. In order not to disturb the others in the palace, the carriage stopped near the palace. .
Getting out of the carriage, Nie Kong did not invite Huanxuan to enter the palace, but took them to the other side. Huanxuan was a little puzzled, "General Manager Nie, didn't we go back to the palace? Why...?"
Nie Kong smiled and said, "It's going back to the palace. After a while, my wife will understand what's going on."
Not far from the Wei Palace, there is a large willow forest. There is a separate courtyard with white walls and green tiles in the depths of the willow forest, which looks no different from ordinary residential houses. If it hadn't been for the palace guards with many hand-held lanterns standing outside the courtyard, Huanxuan would have almost thought that it had arrived at the farmer's house. As soon as the group entered the yard, the door of the wing room was knocked. Kai, Zhuo Ruitong appeared at the door with an anxious look, "You are back. I'm dying of anxiety."
"The Lord actually wanted to capture the assassin in person, but he was stopped by me," Nie Kong explained to Huanying. He turned his head and asked Zhuo Ruitong, "But let the Lord get the news in the palace. Why did the Lord come here again?"
"The palace is too stuffy. I will be more upset. It's better to come here to breathe!" Zhuo Ruitong quickly walked to Huanxuan's face and looked up and down before saying, "Is it really okay? Don't take such a risk next time. In the past few days, I will have a heart and mouthache.
"Indeed, it can be proved that the prince said that he was uncomfortable the day before yesterday, but he asked him to recruit a doctor into the palace, but he refused!" Nie Kong retreated a little knowingly and gave room for the two to get along with each other. He turned his face and saw that Xiaoci was actually the same as himself. He took two steps back, but the expression on his face seemed quite lonely.
"How can it be like this?" Huanying said with a serious face, "In the past, you didn't care about anything. After the wind and cold, you had to buy two jade shumai outside the street in the rain. As a result, you got a high fever and missed more than ten days of classes. If you feel uncomfortable, you should find a doctor in time. How can you not care about your health!"
Zhuo Ruitong was stunned when he heard the words, and then laughed and said, "Ha ha, why did you mention the matter of buying jade shumai? So you still remember? Isn't that because you said you didn't have breakfast? We have tasted all the small shops around Mr. Qi's house. The only thing you like the jade shumai two streets away most. At that time, Mr. Qi punished you not to leave your seat after copying the book, so I secretly ran out to buy it and secretly stuffed it for you. Come on, but all my embamishment is you. I remember it clearly, but I don't remember a good thing. Don't worry! I'm in good health, but I fell from the horse once when I was a child, and my shoulder blades were slightly injured. After the injury is healed, I will feel a faint pain in my heart and mouth when I am in a hurry. It's not an old problem, and it doesn't matter. Why do I have to ask for a doctor?
Huanxuan glanced at Zhuo Ruitong, "Is it really okay?"
"Really, what I'm most worried about is you... Guys, are you all right?" At this time, Zhuo Ruitong took care of asking Xiaoci, "What about you?"
The corners of Xiaoci's mouth moved and stopped. Huanxuan hurriedly said for her, "I'm fine, but Xiaoci was a little frightened. We will slowly tell the prince about the details later. If it's almost dawn today, won't the prince go back to the palace today?"
"Of course, it won't be a big deal in the past few days. I will go for a walk, so that those ministers will not suspect that I am neglecting the government affairs. You can go back to the palace with me, change your clothes first, freshen up, and have some breakfast. I will end the morning soon, and then we will discuss it in detail!" Zhuo Ruitong said, stretched out his hand and pulled Huanxuan and said, "Come on, I will take you through my winding path!"
Zhuo Ruitong's unintentional move was relieved after a few days of anxiety. He insincerely held Huanxuan and was stunned for a moment. Somehow, he didn't have the heart to break free. It's just that the eyes were held by Zhuo Ruitong like this, and his cheeks couldn't help blushing. Fortunately, he took advantage of it. At night, in the light, her red face was not obvious.
But this scene fell in the eyes of the other two people, but each had a taste. Nie Kong arched his hand and said, "Lord, you take your wife and the little porcelain girl first. I have to watch the assassin in person and wait for the prince to go down to court, so that we can be tried together."
"It's okay!" Zhuo Ruitong pulled Huanxuan and was about to enter the room. At this moment, he stopped and said to Nie Kong, "Don't forget to pull out the poison pills from his teeth!"
"I understand!" Nie Kong sent Wei Wang and the other three into the room, but what he noticed was Xiaoci who followed at the end. What a smart person Nie Kong was. After a brief contact, he had noticed that Xiaoci had other ideas.
In the wing room, there are also several guards guarding. At first look at the decoration, it is no different from an ordinary room, but a huge screen is very conspicuous. Zhuo Ruitong took Huanxuan to the back of the screen. There was a small door behind the screen leading to the backyard. The backyard was very small. Only some flowers and trees were simply planted, and it went straight to the opposite wing room. Inside, divided into left and right, Zhuo Ruitong stepped into the left room. A guard had already pushed open the Bogu cabinet, which was almost equivalent to a wall, and a deep passage appeared behind the cabinet.
Zhuo Ruitong smiled and said, "If you want to leave the palace unnoticed in the future, you can also take this road."
Huanxuan said puzzled, "When the prince comes out of the palace, I only hear that ordinary people need to avoid it. Is it just the opposite here? Does the prince need to avoid it?"
"There are some secrets", Zhuo Ruitong led Huanxuan into the channel and whispered to her, "In the future, you will gradually understand that this Wei Palace is not a clean place."
Huanxuan glanced at Zhuo Ruitong suspiciously and did not ask again. She suddenly remembered that she had once speculated with Xiaoci about Queen Wei. Was it not a guess, but a real person? But why did Zhuo Ruitong keep telling her without telling her? And at this moment, it was not appropriate to inquire. With full of doubts, he quietly pulled back his hand and quietly pretended to be curious. He pointed to the channel and asked Zhuo Ruitong, "Is this secret passage leading to the palace open on the ground or underground?"
"Of course it's underground!" Zhuo Ruitong didn't seem to notice the change, but still said with great interest, "This is still what Nie Kong proposed to build secretly. Facts have proved that he is much more prespecting than me."
The three of them returned to the Wei Palace, and the sky was slightly bright. Zhuo Ruitong sent Huanxuan to the outside of the Goblet Palace. Although there was still time to say a lot of words, he had to say goodbye temporarily. "I have all kinds of needs. You can go back and wash them first. After a while, Mei Zheng will send breakfast, and you will use some. After the trial, the assassin, I I prepared my own banquet to shock you.
Huanying smiled. Zhuo Ruitong was about to rush to the court, and she didn't say much. After modest thanks, Zhuo Ruitong hurriedly left, while Huanying and Xiaoci waited for all the figures of the group to disappear, and then turned around and pushed the door into the palace.
Once again, she went back to the Goblet Palace. Huanying sighed that her mood seemed to have changed a lot. These days, she has been trying hard not to think about the capital or the Anzhi Palace. What she thinks about is also the appearance of the assassin of Lou Xun. Is it Yuan Can's instructions? Of course, from now on, it seems that at least the Empress Dowager Li is undoubtedly, but Yuan Can knows it. Do you know?
The assassin once said that some people want to borrow their own body for use. After thinking about it, only the court needs it. One is to ensure that she is dead, and the other is to explain to her parents. Whether Yuan Can knows it or not, it doesn't make much sense. Anyway, he never dares to disobey the Empress Dowager's decree, just Huanying. I want to see how ruthless a person is before he can do anything and chase his former lover to the end. The most important thing is that when she is repeatedly forced into a desperate situation, what else is worthy of her mercy in the exquisite and luxurious palace?
"Huh? It's clean everywhere. I thought I needed to clean it, but I didn't expect that the Lord had already sent someone to clean up!" Xiaoci looked around the things in the goblet palace and said with surprise, "Madam, the Lord must have regarded the goblet palace as his wife's, so he always prepares for his wife's return."
