200 Someone broke into the royal palace and should be executed
In the evening of the same day, Xiuyue moved in and had dinner with Mu Xi'an. The two talked in the room. When Mu Xi'an was tired, they dispersed and slept separately.
The curved moon hook rises, the silver plate falls, the clouds dance, and the starry sky is bright.
Near the middle of the night, Mu Xiran slept soundly and unconsciously turned over to the inside. Unexpectedly, a dark shadow came quickly, and the silk hair in her ear was blown up. Because of the sound of the shadow, Mu Xiran suddenly opened his eyes, "Who?!"
"Xian...Xian." It is a familiar voice.
Mu Xilan sat up carefully and saw a man lying in front of his bed with a painful face. Looking forward, he recognized the man through the moonlight, "Chu Chen? Why are you here?"
"Madam, a man broke into the bamboo forest!" Qin Yi's voice suddenly sounded outside.
"Xi Rang, I'm injured... Don't let anyone know." Chu Chen wore a black robe, covered his chest with his hands, and his face turned pale.
Mu Xilan fully reacted. She quickly turned over and got out of bed and held Chu Chen to the chair. In the dark, she could feel Chu Chen's rapid breathing. She hurried to the door and opened the door, "Qin Yi, come in first."
Qin Yi saw Chu Chen sitting at a glance and frowned slightly, "Madam, he can't stay. I just got the news that someone broke into the fifth prince's mansion and stabbed the fifth prince. Now the guards of the Fifth Prince's Mansion are searching.
Mu Xilan took a look at Chu Chen, who was already in a coma, and directly ignored Qin Yi's words, "He is my friend. I can't ignore it." He lit the candle, walked to Chu Chen and lifted his skirt. The huge knife wound on his chest was shocking.
"Madam, come down." Qin Yi took the veil in Mu Xilan's hand and said helplessly, "Madam asked Nanshi and the others to fg some hot water."
Mu Xirang breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the door and asked Nianhua to get hot water. She returned to the bedside and put on her clothes. She went out of the room and looked down. Sure enough, there were obvious blood stains on the ground. She saw Qin Han downstairs with a calm face.
"Qin Han, come up."
Qin Han came up and saw the blood stains on the ground. "Madam, the blood stains here are still easy to clean up. Just to clean up the blood stains in the bamboo forest, we must alarm others. This will only make those guards come faster.
"Clean up the blood stains in the attic. As for the bamboo forest... leave it alone for the time being..."
Before Mu Xilan finished speaking, Qin Yan hurried over and said, "Madam, the guards of the Fifth Prince's Mansion are outside the door."
Mu Xilan looked to the east and saw a fire shining outside the wall. She quickly made a decision and ordered Qin Han, "Protect the bamboo forest and don't let anyone break in. As for the people outside the house, Qin Yan came with me. After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the attic unsteadily.
At the gate of Jing'an Palace, eight bodyguards drew their swords to stop Guo Yongyi, the personal bodyguard beside the fifth prince.
Guo Yongyi secretly knew that he could not break through, but the assassin was in the palace of Jing'an. If he hadn't captured the assassin back, he would not have survived tomorrow. Thinking of this, he must have pulled out his sword and said, "Let me in!"
"How can you break through the palace casually?" The guards at the door showed no weakness.
"If you hide the assassin, it's a big crime." Seeing this, Guo Yongyi had to threaten him.
However, these guards of Jing'an Palace were unmoved and stood still and their eyebrows did not move.
Guo Yongyi was a little angry and pulled out his long sword with a "brush" and was ready to do it. "If you don't let you drive, I will let you die here!"
At this moment, the majestic red door slowly opened, and under the firelight, a weak woman came step by step. Her delicate facial features were endlessly cold, and her clear eyes were more like a cold pool, which made people tremble involutably.
"Guo Shiwei is so bold that he dares to break into the palace at night!" The tone of the export is even more self-righteous.
Guo Yongyi saw such a powerful woman for the first time, but there was an arrogant smile on his face. "I had no choice but to disturb the princess tonight, and I also asked the princess to give way to my subordinates. In case the fifth prince is not blamed, I guess the princess can't afford it!"
"Can't afford it?! Guo Shiwei is really in a big tone. Tonight, I will see how Guo's bodyguard breaks into my palace with this arrogant tone. Mu Xiran straightened her waist and looked at the contemptuous man in front of her with her chin half raised. Seeing the man's eyes flash, she turned her head sideways, "Qin Yan, I remember the prince said when he left that if someone broke into the royal palace without permission, what would happen?"
Qin Yan bowed his body with low eyebrows and said, "If you go back to the princess, someone will break into the palace and should be beheaded."
"Princess Jing'an! Are you deliberately trying to hide the assassin and want to be against the fifth prince!" When Guo Yongyi heard the words, his face immediately changed. Looking at Mu Xiran's cold temperament, he had to move out of the fifth prince.
Mu Xilang suddenly showed an innocent smile, blinked his eyes and said, "Guo Shiwei's words are wrong. I heard from Qin Yan that Guo Shiwei came here just to search for assassins, but the royal guard was rigorous and no one broke in at all. Doesn't Guo's bodyguard believe my words, or doesn't these guards?
"Nonsense, the people under him clearly saw the assassin enter the palace." Guo Yongyi saw that the princess suddenly changed her tone and thought that she was afraid of the fifth prince, so she couldn't help but aggravate her tone.
"Then how about I make a bet with Guo's guard? If Guo Shiwei finds the so-called assassin in this house, the princess will personally apologize to the fifth prince. If..." Her tone suddenly turned and became sharp and ruthless. "If Guo Shiwei doesn't find it, he will break his arm!"
The guards standing behind Guo Yongyi took a deep breath and shocked the women on the steps.
Guo Yongyi glanced at the cold corners of Mu Xi's mouth with surprised eyes, and couldn't help hesitating. Even his arm felt a chill coming, so he had to hold the hilt of the sword to make sure that his arm was still there.
He can't bet on his arm. If he loses, he will only be a useless person in the future. But if you can't find the assassin tonight, you'd better go back and wait to die.
"Good! I will bet with the princess.
"Madam..." Qin Yan, standing behind Mu Xilan, unconsciously shouted softly.
Mu Xian slowly raised the corners of his mouth and showed admiration, "Guo Shiwei is really brave. I want to exchange my arm for the majesty of the royal palace, and I would like to thank Guo's bodyguard here.
Guo Yongyi didn't care about looking at Mu Xi's face at this time, so he went in directly with several bodyguards.
Mu Xiran turned around angrily, "The size of this royal palace can't be searched in a while. I'd better go back to the attic and wait." With the help of Nanxiao, he went straight to the bamboo forest.
When he returned to the attic, Nanshi came over steadily, holding a black cat in his arms, "Madam, how pitiful this cat is. Can you let the maidservant take care of it in the future?
"If you like it, I will give it to you." Mu Xian glanced over the black cat's injured leg, where the gauze was wrapped. She subconsciously reached out and touched the smooth back of the black cat, "However, you can't let it enter my room."
She doesn't like black cats very much.
Nan Shi nodded, "Yes, the maidservant knows."
The bamboo forest was the last place to search by Guo's guards. Guo Yongyi searched next to a room, but the final result did not find anyone. However, no one was found in his expectation. Looking at the blood stains on the bluestone board in the bamboo forest, Guo Shiwei walked to Princess Jing'an.
"The princess should hand over the assassin quickly so as not to make trouble with the emperor. The princess lost not only the face of the prince, but also the whole royal palace and Qin's mansion." Guo Yongyi's tone was calm, and even his expression was very firm.
Mu Xiyan smiled lightly, put the arm that had just been bandaged into his sleeve, and then raised his eyes, "Why did Guo Shiwei conclude that the assassin was in my house?"
Guo Yongyi glanced at the blood stains on the cloth in the silver basin next to him, and his face changed slightly. "What's going on?" Is it possible that the princess is trying to cover up and use such tricks to fool her subordinates?
"It's just a night cat that hurt my arm. What's wrong with Guo Shiwei?" Mu Xi'an's black and white eyes showed a ethereal smile and stood up slowly with her lower abdomen. She walked to Guo's guard. Her words were so angry that they were so slight that only two people could hear her.
"The fifth prince asked you to break into the royal palace, not just to provoke the bottom line of the royal palace. It's just that Guo Shiwei doesn't know that he has been used. Guo Shiwei has been around the fifth prince for 15 years and will not know his character.
Guo Yongyi's eyes stagnated when he heard the words, and his dull mother looked at the dark eyes of Mu Xi, "What does the princess mean?"
"Guo's bodyguard knows that it's a death if you can't catch the assassin today, and it's a death if you step into the royal palace. It's better... to break it." Mu Xirang died gently in Guo Yongyi's ear. Before Guo Yongyi could react, she even retreated, "Come on, shoot arrow!"
Suddenly, the guards lying in ambush in the bamboo forest shot arrows one after another, and those black arrows hit this side like a dense drizzle. It's just that the raindrops don't kill people, and the black arrows don't give people a chance to take people's lives directly.
Guo Yongyi was awakened by the sting. He watched his body being shot through by black arrows, and his body fell uncontrollably on the cold ground. He tilted his head and stared his round eyes and looked at the smile on the woman's face.
"Madam, they are all dead." It was not until this time that Qin Yan really admired the princess's courage. First, he led the snake into the hole, and then cut the grass and eradicated it.
"Processed them all. As for the guards outside, they were also killed. Mu Xian pulled off the cloth wrapped around her wrist, showed her smooth arm, and turned to the second floor.
The killing and looting outside the house soon ended, but for a moment, the door of the house seemed to be as calm as never happened.
