Chapter 360 The Death of Snow Princess
"It was discovered by the imperial forest army patrolling outside."
periphery? Mo Ziyao was stunned, so they were discovered before they could enter? There was also such a big noise that the trembling outside for nearly a quarter of an hour attracted a lot of royal troops. It seems that my guess is correct.
Looking at the person in front of him, he thought for a moment or asked, "Did you also go to the West Hunting Ground on the birthday of the Empress Dowager?"
Qin Jian said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Go back to the noble concubine, the imperial guards have all gone. The duty of their subordinates is to protect the emperor's safety at all times."
Very good, Mo Ziyao nodded: "Well, when the assassin appeared in the woods in front of the paddock that day, you must have been there. What I want to ask is, what did you find after two battles? She understood what she meant, and she suspected that these assassins were the same group.
Qin Jian looked at Mo Ziyao in surprise, and then showed admiration in his eyes. He nodded and said, "The noble concubine is wise. I think that their martial arts skills are the same."
Although Mo Ziyao guessed a few things, she was still a little surprised to hear him say it. Thinking of the time at the West Hunting Ground, it seems that the targets of those assassins are Ruan Lingzheng and Xuefei. No matter who dies, right?
Ruan Lingzheng has also investigated the attack for a long time, but there is still no result. Is the assassin from Ruan Nanguo, or has someone in the palace been rebelled? At this moment, she can't think of anything else.
Seeing that Mo Ziyao didn't say anything for a long time, Qin Jian said, "If there is nothing else for the noble concubine, I will leave first. I still have to investigate the outside matter.
Mo Ziyao nodded, and Qin Jian turned around and went out.
Looking out of the door, the scene outside has been almost dealt with. Looking at the palace people pouring water into the blood stains on the ground, she couldn't help worrying about Ruan Lingzheng.
A person sat in the hall uneasily, and she didn't know how long she sat before she felt the faint pain on her arm. Instinctively reached out and stroked it, and it seemed that she suddenly saw Xuefei holding a dagger and stabbing her. The scene was still so real.
Mo Ziyao bit her lips and sat in a daze. After a while, she heard someone coming outside. She raised her eyes in surprise. Did Ruan Lingzheng come back? He clenched his fists slightly. If he came back so early, it showed that there was no big problem in the Xuexi Palace. Everything you worry about can be solved, can't it?
Thinking like this, I got up quickly to meet her. I saw someone trot and said to her, "Mother..."
Mo Ziyao was a little disappointed. The person who came was Mu Qing.
He turned around and asked casually, "Why are you here?"
Mu Qing followed and hurriedly said, "It was Eunuch Jin, who was beside the emperor, who came to Yuyao Palace and said that he wanted me to pass through Tianze Palace to serve the Empress."
So it is. Mo Ziyao didn't say anything and turned around to sit down. Mu Qing said again, "I also heard that there was an assassin in Tianze Palace. Are you all right?"
Mo Ziyao was stunned, and it seemed that this matter had always been known in the harem. Nodding, he suddenly heard her scream and said, "Ah, Madam, you are injured!"
Mo Ziyao instinctively raised her hand and stroked the gauze belt on her forehead, and then looked down at her arm. Then she remembered the hurry and forgot to hide it. Now it's hot, and the clothes are very thin. Through the thin cloth, you can see the gauze wrapped in it.
heard Mu Qing say again, "Can those assassins break in?" She gritted her teeth and said, "The imperial army in the palace should really be dragged out and killed!"
Mo Ziyao looked at her and found that she thought her injury was caused by tonight's assassin. Oh, that's it.
"The Empress is injured and it is inconvenient to sit for a long time. I will help you in and rest."
Mo Ziyao tapped her head, and Mu Qing came up to help her into the inner room. After sitting on the edge of the bed, he said, "Mother, why don't you rest first? Your Majesty won't come back tonight."
Mo Ziyao was shocked and asked quickly, "How do you know?"
Mu Qing frowned and said, "Something happened in Xuexi Palace, won't the Empress not know?"
Mo Ziyao only felt her heart sinking, grabbed her hand, gritted her teeth and asked, "What did Grandpa Jin say?" It is impossible for her to go through the Xuexi Palace. Since she said that it was Eunuch Jin who asked her to come here through the Yuyao Palace, she thought it was the wind she heard from his mouth.
Mu Qing was shocked, but did not draw her hand. She only whispered, "Mother, be careful of the injury on her body."
Where does Mo Ziyao care about the pain? She just asked, "How about the Xuexi Palace?" Seeing her bowing her head, she said for a long time, "Princes Xue is dead."
Mo Ziyao's fingertips suddenly trembled and died... really died...
"Mother!" Mu Qing quickly supported her and exclaimed, "Are you all right?"
Mo Ziyao waved her hand and smiled bitterly. All the worries finally happened. Looking at such a news, how fast can it be? The imperial edict of death has not yet been issued, but the concubine died in the palace. Even if they are assassinated, if the people of Yutan want to take the opportunity to send troops, then they have enough reasons not to believe it.
Breathing deeply, Xuefei died, and there was no need for Ruan Lingzheng to make it difficult to issue the imperial edict. But such a result is more painful than embarrassing him, isn't it? He is still in the snowy palace at this moment, but what kind of mood should he stay there?
Get up and heard Mu Qing shout softly, "Mother, where are you going?"
Yes, where are you going? Mo Ziyao stood for a long time and sat down slowly. No, tonight, she can't go anywhere. He is messy enough, how can he make trouble for him?
I don't know the Empress Dowager, but do you know such news? The Empress Dowager wants Xuefei to die, but she doesn't want to see such a way of death.
I'm afraid the assassins are from the Ruan Nan Dynasty, but their purpose of doing this is not for the Ruan Nan Dynasty. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine what other people in Ruan Nanchao can get benefits by killing Xuefei.
No, no, absolutely not. Those civil and military officials who said that they would give the demon who died in the country will not use such a method.
And I can only wait for dawn here. You can't go out until dawn. Tomorrow, there will be no rest. I believe that Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty will soon know about such a thing. This news will soon come to the ears of the Emperor of the Empire. Then, the war is just around the corner.
Who is Ruan Nan Dynasty? He has always wanted to kill Ruan Lingzheng, but he did not kill him directly, but always wanted to lead him and even Ruan Nan Dynasty to war. Then this person either wants to get the country of Ruan Nanguo or wants to destroy Ruan Nanguo.
Is the driving force behind all this the Celestial Empire? Celestial...
Mo Ziyao couldn't help but think of Ruan Lingheng's figure, thinking of his complex identity and his ambition. Is he the pusher behind him? I couldn't help trembling. Yes, although he is not in the imperial city, he also controls the movement in the court. If he arranges all this, it seems that he can really make it clear.
It's just, will it be him?
I really don't want him. Mo Ziyao took a deep breath and heard Mu Qing whisper, "Mother, you'd better have a rest. You still have injuries." When he said that, his eyes fell on Mo Ziyao's forehead, and his eyes were full of worry.
Where can I sleep? Mo Ziyao sat for a while and saw that the sky outside had faintly turned white. Suddenly, the voice of Eunuch Jin came from outside: "Your Majesty, please slow down! "Your Majesty..."
She was shocked that Ruan Lingzheng came back!
Mu Qing helped her get up. The two walked around the screen and went outside. They saw Ruan Lingzheng stride in angrily. Eou Jin gasped and chased in.
Mo Ziyao saw that Ruan Lingzheng's face was particularly ugly. She stood on the edge of the table with one hand and suddenly stopped. He leaned sideways at her, and she only saw his chest heaving violently, and the hand held on the edge of the table was already white.
Mu Qing wanted to salute, but was pulled by Mo Ziyao. At this moment, no one should speak.
Prince Jin stood stunned for a while before suddenly reacting and said to the outside, "Come on, help the emperor change his clothes!"
Several maidservant came in with their heads down, turned to Ruan Ling Zhengfu, and hurried inside. Mo Ziyao knew that he had come back to change his court uniform. Look at the sky, it's almost early morning. Standing more than a foot away from him, she didn't know how to move forward. Looking at his appearance, she knew that Mu Qing said it was true. Xuefei, it's really dead. Otherwise, he will definitely not say a word when he comes.
Grandpa Jin wiped several times of sweat. Mo Ziyao saw his clothes and his whole back was soaked. She didn't know whether it was because of the hot weather or the cold sweat. And her clenched palm was already sweaty.
The maidservant carefully took out her clothes and looked at Ruan Lingzheng in panic. Eunuch Jin whispered, "Let's die, can you let the emperor change his head outside?"
The maidservant's hands trembled when he drank it, and she didn't know what to do for a while. Grandpa Jin was stunned and whispered, "Your Majesty, let's go and change clothes inside."
Ruan Lingzheng did not move, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Your Majesty..."
Mo Ziyao saw Ruan Lingzheng suddenly stand up straight and suddenly turned around and walked into the inner room. Eunuch Jin glanced at the maidservant on the side and said harshly, "What are you doing? Why don't you follow up quickly!"
"Yes." The maidservists responded anxiously and then turned around and went in.
Grandpa Jin followed, and Mo Ziyao couldn't help calling him: "Prince...Your Majesty..." When he spoke, she couldn't help looking back and looking inside. At this moment, Ruan Lingzheng has stood behind the screen and can only see his figure. The maidservists have carefully helped him change his clothes.
Mr. Jin sighed and shook his head and said, "Your concubine, you have seen it yourself. It's hard for me to say." As he spoke, he bypassed Mo Ziyao and went straight inside.
Mu Qing looked at Mo Ziyao, and Mo Ziyao shook her head slightly. Don't go in at this moment. I remember that yesterday's morning will be very lively, but I don't think that today will only be more lively.
The maid quickly helped him change his court clothes, and another maid came in to serve him to freshen up. Grandpa Jin stood behind him without saying a word. After a while, Mo Ziyao saw him come out. As I walked by, I suddenly paused.
Ruan Lingzheng glanced at her, and suddenly stained a touch of pain in his deep eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Princes Yao, I..." He suddenly stopped talking, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and strode out.
Mo Ziyao instinctively called him: "Your Majesty..."
