The host is not good at acting

Chapter 69, His Majesty's courtiers are too tired ([-])

The ship finally landed, and the chief of the dark guard was right. Since the assassin wanted Xia Zhitong's life, he must have a backup.Sure enough, after landing, a group of masked men in black rushed towards Xia Zhitong, just to kill her.

The hidden guards around Xia Zhitong naturally wanted to protect her, so she had time to think about an unimportant question: Why did these assassins have to cover their faces?Obviously, every time the assassins were killed, they could always guess their identities from the badges, tattoos, etc. on their bodies, but the faces were very strange.Xia Zhitong really wanted to suggest to them that instead of coming here with their faces covered, it's better to clean up before coming here.

"Your Majesty, be careful! The arrow is poisonous!" A hidden guard was hit by an arrow on his shoulder, but he felt that he was dying, so he said this quickly.

Xia Zhitong frowned, and said: "Isn't it difficult to hide? You all be careful, don't worry too much about me, I have a treasure to protect me, they can't hurt me."

Xia Zhitong's words are of course false to coax people, the assassin's target is only her, she said so, if the assassin wants to succeed, he has to find a way to get close to her and kill her.Once they got close, their poisonous arrows would be useless.I have to say that Xia Zhitong's words came at a good time.

The head of the dark guard glanced at Xia Zhitong. He had been a secret guard in the palace since he was a child, and he was a few years older than Xia Zhitong. He knew that Xia Zhitong was a girl who was loved and raised.Today she was able to say such words, which really made the chief of the dark guard look at him with admiration.

Just as Xia Zhitong expected, those assassins couldn't figure out the truth after hearing what she said, so they began to move closer to her. Naturally, one of them would die and one would die, and two of them would die.Not to mention how good the secret guard's martial arts are, even Yan Qiu and Xia Zhitong's skills are not small. After fighting zombies for so long, they still have the strength to do anything else.Just now, an assassin managed to get rid of the attack of the chief of the dark guard, ran to Yan Qiu and Xia Zhitong, and drew out a dagger to strike Xia Zhitong.

Xia Zhitong's hands were strong, he saw the opportunity and slammed into him heavily, knocking the assassin staggeringly.Yan Qiu and Xia Zhitong cooperated tacitly, and immediately snatched the dagger from the visitor's hand.

This surprised the head of the dark guard even more.Of course he knew that Xia Zhitong had always been a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, and Yan Qiu, as her personal maid, was not the kind of vulgar person who knew martial arts.And this assassin can get rid of them and go directly to Xia Zhitong and the others, needless to say his martial arts.But Xia Zhitong and Yan Qiu teamed up to stop his attack.What the hell is going on here?

But Xia Zhitong and Yan Qiu still underestimated the assassin's ability.The reason why the assassin was able to be repelled by the two of them was because they looked down on them.Seeing that the head of the dark guard was rushing towards this side, the assassin suddenly exerted force, and slapped Xia Zhitong with a vicious palm.

Xia Zhitong was stunned, and immediately froze in place, not knowing how to escape.She really doesn't have golden silk soft armor on her body, don't think so highly of her!

At the critical moment, Yan Qiu stepped up to block him, and was slapped heavily on the ground by the assassin.Although he knew that Yan Qiu would be fine, Xia Zhitong still felt distressed when he saw her fall to the ground in embarrassment and even spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Yan Qiu!" Xia Zhitong yelled and went to help Yan Qiu, now he didn't care about the assassin at all.Even if the assassin came directly to her, she didn't care about it anymore.

Fortunately, the chief of the dark guard rushed over at this time, directly subdued the assassin, and said: "Your Majesty, your escort is not good, please punish him."

"Punishment for what? Can you go back to the palace after I punish you?" Xia Zhitong's voice was cold, "What happened to the assassin?"

"Responding to Your Majesty, the assassin just...takes poison and commits suicide." The head of the dark guard answered cautiously, wondering what Xia Zhitong was thinking.

"Oh? Suicide by taking poison?" Xia Zhitong raised his eyebrows and heaved a sigh of relief, "It seems that I had a good idea. Take the corpses of these assassins and return to the palace!"

"Yes!"

When returning to the palace, Xia Zhitong took the carriage.But Yan Qiu was seriously injured, and the carriage was too bumpy. Obviously, the chief of the secret guard considered Xia Zhitong's safety, but he didn't think of the seriously injured Yan Qiu.Xia Zhitong sent people to put a lot of cushions in the carriage, and directly fixed Yan Qiu's body.Yan Qiu was still in a coma, his face pale, looking extremely pitiful.

Xia Zhitong looked at Yan Qiu's pitiful appearance, and the more she looked at it, the more angry she became, and because of this, she had a bold and crazy idea in her heart, and she didn't intend to suppress it, but planned to put this idea into practice once she returned to the palace. .But before that, the person who caused Yan Qiu such misery must pay the price first.

......

Hearing that the emperor was assassinated outside, the empress dowager in the palace was the most worried.In this life, the empress dowager has been honored and favored, which can be said to be a blessing, but she is also very unfortunate. Her husband and son lost their lives one after another, and even her adopted son died strangely and suddenly. Now the emperor's blood only has a precious bump like Xia Zhitong.Who is so bold to assassinate the current Holy Majesty?

"Check it out for the Ai family! The Ai family wants to see, who dares to do anything to the emperor!"

When the Queen Mother came down with a decree, everyone in the palace was in danger.Everyone knows that it is a big secret for the emperor to go on tour in micro-clothes, and the only ones who may know about it are the few male concubines in the palace, apart from the important officials in the court.Cheng Feimu and Xie Yunyu were the first to bear the brunt of the Queen Mother's doubts.These two are the most favored male concubines in the palace. Xia Zhitong is most likely to inform them of his whereabouts, and behind them is a prime minister who is the head of civil servants, and the other is a senior general who is a military officer. An accident happened to the emperor, and the royal family's blood was cut off. , the most likely to seize the throne is the two of them.

The Queen Mother brought Xie Yunyu and Cheng Feimu to Ci'an Palace for questioning.

Cheng Feimu came up and complained about being wronged, but Xie Yunyu's performance was flawless. When he heard that Xia Zhitong had an accident, he didn't bother to defend himself at all, and he didn't feel that the Queen Mother was suspicious of him. Instead, he asked urgently: "The Queen Mother Empress, is Your Majesty safe now? If something happens to Your Majesty, what should I do?"

"Shut up for the Ai family! The emperor is fine now." The queen mother couldn't find out Xie Yunyu's fault, she just thought he was too worried about Xia Zhitong and couldn't say anything, so she had to send him away, "Okay, okay, you Retire for Aijia!"

"Queen Mother..." Xie Yunyu had tears in his eyes when he stepped back.

And Cheng Feimu's performance here is very obvious. When he heard the queen mother say that the emperor is fine, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.At that time, although the Empress Dowager's attention was not on him, the hidden guards could see his expression clearly.

Although Cheng Feimu was sent back to her bedroom directly later, the Queen Mother sent the hidden guards around her to monitor Cheng Feimu.Everything has to wait for Xia Zhitong to come back.
